Chapter forty-one

Weizhou.

"Duh duh duh!"

There was a rapid knock on the door.

Li Chuyun rubbed his eyes, sat up, and shouted: "Who is it?"

"Me! He Zhiyao!"

The sound coming from outside the house was urgent and fast, as if something big was happening.

Li Chuyun opened the door and quickly stepped inside.

Before Li Chuyun could close the door.

He Zhiyao knelt down with a "pop" sound, kowtowed three times, and said: "Li Jiedu, please save me. You can't go to Liangzhou. There is already a world dominated by Zhezuo Jiashi. Zhezuo Jiashi

Shi has always had the ambition to be the king of Liangzhou, if you leave, you will die in his hands."

Li Chuyun helped He Zhiyao up without changing his expression and said, "What do you mean by Mr. He's words?"

He Zhiyao said with a mournful face: "Zhezuo Jiashi is such a cruel beast. He took advantage of the drunkenness of my clan leader to directly attack our tribe and swallowed the Wu tribe. The clan leader also died... Now the Zhezuo family in Liangzhou

He is alone, and no one can do anything to him. He only wants to be the king of Liangzhou, and going to Liangzhou in Jiedu will only lead to death."

Li Chuyun frowned slightly when he heard this. He went to Liangzhou. He was alone, with no confidants inside and no generals outside, so he had to rely on himself.

According to the grievances of the eight tribes in Liangzhou, they won over the neutrals, used the Wu Zhe tribe to fight and capture Jia Shi, drove away wolves and tigers, and held the banner of righteousness of the Hexi Jiedu Envoy to prepare in advance for the imperial army's western expedition in the future.

Now that Zhezuo Jiashi had actually eliminated Wu Zhe's tribe first, there was not much room for him to operate.

Maybe he might lose his life.

He Zhiyao emphasized: "If we go to Liangzhou, Jiedu will undoubtedly die. It is better to stop in Weizhou while there is still room for recovery. He is willing to follow Jiedu and ride for Jiedu."

Thousands of thoughts flashed through Li Chuyun's mind, and he said resolutely: "Mr. He can save his own life before Pan Luozhi notices it."

He opened the door directly and pretended to see off guests without saying a word to He Zhiyao.

Seeing that Li Chuyun was firm in his stance, He Zhiyao did not dare to stay any longer, so he fled for his life in a panic.

Li Chuyun had no intention of sleeping. He lay on the bed and thought about the situation in Liangzhou:

Why did Jia Shi rush to attack Wu Zhe's men?

Yes, he must be worried that Wu Zhe's troops would turn to him and prevent him from interfering in Liangzhou affairs, so he acted preemptively to eliminate future troubles.

The reason why He Zhiyao said that he would die if he went there was because he wanted to stay and find a way to survive in the Central Plains.

He has no roots in the Central Plains, and he is the only person he knows.

Deliberately exaggerating the matter so that I can protect his life...

If Jia Shi really dared to kill himself, he wouldn't be in a hurry to attack Wu Zhe's men.

It is impossible that the other leaders would not have objections to this hasty attack on "one of our own".

At least until he could not stabilize his position, he did not dare to do anything to himself.

I have two or three months...

As for what choice Jia Shi will make after two or three months, it all depends on his performance.

Two or three months to survive...

enough!

There was a trace of enthusiasm in Li Chuyun's eyes. As a general of the Royal Camp Division, he was also brainwashed by Luo Youdu's ambition to expand his territory.

Luo Youdu's love for Pan Mei and Cao Bin is well known, and they will be indispensable for future expansion of territory.

But Li Chuyun felt a little dissatisfied in his heart...

We are all from the same generation, why should we lose to Pan Mei and Cao Bin?

This time, Li Chuyun was full of ambition when setting out to the northwest, and he was bound to catch up from behind.

"Duh duh duh!"

There was another knock on the door.

Li Chuyun pretended to be sleepy and opened the door. This time it was Pan Luozhi who came.

Pan Luozhi was a little angry, ostensibly because He Zhiyao ran away, but in fact it was because he did not respect martial ethics in arresting Jia Shi.

He originally planned to attack Jia Shi when he was annexing Wu Zhe's tribe.

As a result, the other party took advantage of him while he was in Bianjing and annexed Wu Zhe's tribe in one fell swoop.

By the time he returned to Liangzhou, the day lilies were already cold.

All calculations turned into nothingness.

Pan Luozhi was filled with anger and had nowhere to vent, so he could only go towards He Zhiyao.

"Jiedu, He Zhiyao... has Mr. just arrived?"

Li Chuyun did not hide anything and said: "I have been here and advised me not to go to Liangzhou, saying that Liangzhou is very dangerous. The capture department attacked Wu Zhe's department..."

Pan Luozhi's heart moved slightly. He had previously been unwilling to let the Central Plains send a Jiedu to Liangzhou. On the one hand, he was afraid of the strength of the Central Plains, and on the other hand, he was worried that the Central Plains Jiedu would side with Wu Zhe's troops and ask Jia Shi to use a rat-proof weapon, so he did not dare to take action rashly.

If the eldest brother and the second child don't fight, the third child will have no chance of becoming king.

But now that the eldest son has become the sole leader of the family, he is unable to fight against him. If Li Chuyun is timid at this time and does not dare to go to Liangzhou, then Zheqiao Jiashi will really become the lord of Liangzhou.

His position changed with his interests. Pan Luozhi was unwilling to stay behind others all his life, and hurriedly said: "How did the Jiedushi decide? Don't listen to He Zhiyao's nonsense..."

Li Chuyun looked helpless and said: "Whether He Zhiyao is talking nonsense or not, I was sent to Liangzhou because I offended someone. If I was timid and didn't go, I would be severely punished if I stayed in the Central Plains. It's better to live in Liangzhou.

After a year and a half, I will look for an opportunity to apply for transfer."

Pan Luozhi was very thoughtful and did not fully believe Li Chuyun's words, but now he needed Li Chuyun to shake up the situation. He said happily: "Jiedu, don't be too alarmed. The leader of the Zhejiao clan respects His Majesty the Emperor very much and will definitely cooperate with Jiedu to manage Liang."

State."

Li Chuyun yawned without any interest and thought to himself: "You dare to delegate power, but I don't dare to ask for it."

Pan Luozhi got a satisfactory answer and left in a hurry without waiting any longer.

Li Chuyun didn't know whether Pan Luozhi had captured He Zhiyao, but early the next morning, they set off in a hurry.

Pan Luozhi found a very suitable reason: Longyou is occupied by large and small Tubo tribes and is very dangerous. The sooner we can pass, the better.

Pan Luozhi was worried that by arresting Jia Shi, he would once again fail to show martial ethics and swallow up his tribe as well.

Li Chuyun obviously saw all this.

They worked hard all the way, and they arrived in ten days in what was supposed to be half a month's journey.

After Li Chuyun arrived in Liangzhou, he didn't care about anything and didn't ask anything. He just ate and drank as an idle man.

In the beginning, Jia Shi did not dare to act recklessly, and he discussed all major matters with Li Chuyun.

Li Chuyun replied honestly: "The leader of the tribe can make up his mind."

As time went by, I no longer asked about arresting Jia Shi, and decided all major and minor matters by myself.

Li Chuyun established his own identity very well.

Zhezuo Jiashi was also very satisfied with this situation. Although he was nominally suppressed by Li Chuyun, the real power was in his own hands and he was still the lord of Liangzhou.

Li Chuyun was leisurely until the Uighur envoy from Ganzhou came to visit...

The Silk Road is of great significance to the economy of the entire northwest. When the Silk Road was at its peak in the Tang Dynasty, Liangzhou was second only to Chang'an and Luoyang in the East.

One of Cen Shen's poems praised "Liangzhou has a hundred thousand houses in seven miles, and the barbarians are half-capable of playing the pipa."

In recent years, the northwest has been in turmoil, and all forces have been unable to conquer it. Now the Central Plains is taking the lead. Both the Xichuan Uighurs and the Guiyi Army want to take the opportunity to ease the economic pressure.

Internally Zhehao Jiashi was undoubtedly the leader, but externally Zhongyuan's reputation was not comparable to Zhehao Jiashi's.

Even if he is a puppet, Li Chuyun still has more say in external affairs than Jia Shi.

With Li Chuyun's help, the two sides quickly signed a trade agreement.

Then Li Chuyun stopped taking care of things and handed over the distribution of profits to Jia Shi, letting him handle it...

The arrest of Jia Shi has assumed the identity of the King of Liangzhou, so he will naturally not refuse.

Li Chuyun was wandering around Liangzhou City that day.

Looking at the desolate scene in the city, I was filled with emotion. This place once surpassed Yangzhou and Yizhou in existence, but now it is so desolate.

When Jiashi was captured, the eight powerful tribes led by Pan Luozhi were mostly Tubo, Uighur, Tuyuhun and Qiang people. They lived as tribes outside the city of Liangzhou.

Most of the people living in Liangzhou City are Han Chinese and Sinicized Tibetan people who are heavily Sinicized and do not want to go to the tribes for grazing.

Li Chuyun strolled to a blacksmith shop, holding a forged sword and looking around.

The owner of the blacksmith shop is a strong man in his forties with a beard. While he was forging iron, he said: "I'm Wude Secretary Mo Jing, I've seen Jiedu!"

Li Chuyun asked: "How many of you are there?"

Mo Jing said: "Not many, just five people. It's too dangerous to sneak in now. Once the trade route is opened, our people will enter Liangzhou in various identities. There are about two hundred people, all of whom are elites."

Li Chuyun responded, handed the sword he selected to Mo Jing and said, "I want this sword! Help me open it and send it to the Jiedushi's house tomorrow..."

He paid the money and walked out of the blacksmith shop.

He has done nothing these days, but just doing nothing is better than doing anything else.

The capture department, the big tent.

Zhezuo Jiashi sat on top, followed by Pan Luozhi, Si Duodu, Yu Longbo, Ayu Dan, Long Xu and Niu Tianjin.

Seven powerful tribes in Liangzhou gathered together.

Jia Shi, the leader of the group, shouted the order.

None of the six people below dared to speak out.

For his own benefit, Jia Shineng attacked and killed Wu Zhe, turning the Eight Tribes of Liangzhou into the Seven Tribes of Liangzhou.

Then he has the ability to turn seven parts into six parts, or even five parts, four parts...

Zhezu Jiashi asked, "What has happened to Li Jiedu recently?"

Pan Luozhi said immediately: "No, apart from collecting some weapons, bows and arrows, I spend most of my time eating, drinking and having fun in the mansion."

He didn't say much more about arresting Jia Shi. He just asked someone to give Li Chuyun some high-quality weapons.

He looked around and said: "The reason why I called you here today is mainly about how to divide the profits after the opening of the trade route. Our capture department is the strongest, apart from Li Jiedu, I am the deputy Jiedu official.

They all have the highest status, accounting for 40%, which is not too much!"

Powerful people like them always put the interests of their tribe first, and do not care about the overall situation. They will take less and suffer more losses.

How much strength they have and how much benefits they get are the standards they believe in.

Naturally, no one objected.

The capture of Jia Shi and the attack on Wu Zhe had taken away their courage. They were full of fear and a little bit of anger about capturing Jia Shi...
