Chapter 48: Foresight

"Guard the territory of Tubo and resist the bandits from the Central Plains."

After several decades, Wen Chengbu really regarded Longyou River Huang as his Tubo territory.

This slogan was shouted loudly, and Wen Chengbu didn't know how many people might come.

I just know very clearly that it is impossible for the Zong family alone to resist the Central Plains heroes. We must gather all the power of Longyou Hehuang to have a chance of survival.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Wen Chengbu was exhausted from waiting.

Except for some close friends who responded, everyone else chose to stay away and ignore it.

"Under this overturned nest, there are no eggs left intact. Do you really think Naluo Youdu worked so hard just for a few of us? Stupid, confused..."

Wen Chengbu was so angry that he became furious and cursed each tribal leader for being short-sighted.

At this critical moment, he was talking about the truth one after another, but he didn't think about how he could make the bullied small and medium-sized tribes obey his orders.

Thinking about the strength he had in hand, and thinking about the burly and majestic troops from the Central Plains upstairs in Bianjing City, Wen Chengbu had only one thought in his mind, "It's over, there is such a huge disparity, how can we fight?"

Wen Chengbu's son-in-law Zong Zhenglian said timidly: "Why don't we ask Liangzhou for help?"

Wen Chengbu's expression changed, and he was about to get angry. Thinking of the current situation, he sighed: "Well, it's already this time, why do you care about face? You can write a letter to my brother for help..."

Wen Chengbu's Zongge clan was not a native of Hehuang, but a foreigner who migrated from Liangzhou.

The Zongge clan was originally a powerful force in Liangzhou, but there was a strong disagreement between Wen Chengbu and his brother Wen Chengshuo on the issue of supporting the capture of Jia Shi.

In a fit of anger, Wen Chengbu divided half of his tribe to develop in the direction of Qingtang River and Huang.

Historically, when Xixia conquered Liangzhou, the remnants of Liangzhou retreated to Hehuang and developed through the Zongge clan, forming the Qing-Tang Kingdom.

Now the situation has changed drastically, and the Zongge clan in Hehuang has turned to Liangzhou for help.

The Central Plains sent troops to Longyou and Hehuang, causing an uproar in the northwest.

The one who had the biggest reaction was not the capture of Jia Shi in Liangzhou, but Jing Qiong of Ganzhou Uighur.

Jingqiong is the Chinese name of the Uighur leader in Ganzhou.

As a Uyghur Khan, Jing Qiong gave himself a Han name early on and used it in his life.

This shows his understanding and respect for Chinese culture.

Likewise, Jing Qiong became more and more respectful to the Central Plains and sent envoys back and forth again and again to pay tribute to jade, amber, ermine and other artifacts.

This time the East-West trade route was reopened. As one of the powerful people in the northwest, Jing Qiong advocated the opening of the trade route. He made great contributions to the smooth flow of the trade route and made an indelible contribution.

Jing Qiong looked solemnly to find Wenwu in the tent to discuss the matter.

Zhao Dangshu, a minister under his command, said: "Wen Chengbu is too greedy. I, a merchant from Ganzhou, passed through Zongge City and was harshly treated many times. I should be repaid with this."

Most of the people in the audience said nothing about the Central Plains' invasion of the Longyou River and Huangdi, and ignored the matter.

He just has an instinctive dislike for Wen Chengbu's greed.

Also influenced by Jing Qiong's respect for the Central Plains, he was more or less gloating about his misfortune.

Jing Qiong made a surprising statement and said: "I intend to join forces with Zhezuo Jiashi and send troops to Hehuang to help Wen Chengbu."

Zhao Dangshu's expression changed drastically, and he shouted: "Khan, no, this is the way to die. How powerful is the military front in the Central Plains? If you become an enemy with them, you will perish."

Jing Qiong said with a livid face: "If we don't become an enemy, we will not perish? You must know that Ganzhou is also the hometown of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Today, the Central Plains sent troops to Longyou and Huang, and the Japanese troops will point to Liangzhou and Ganzhou.

"

It is because of his respect for the Central Plains culture that Jing Qiong's hidden hostility and awe deepen.

He continued to have good relations with the Central Plains and tried his best to promote the East-West trade route. His main purpose was to establish a deep relationship of mutual interest to prevent the military disaster from expanding westward.

At least until the north and south of the Central Plains are unified, don't spread the military disaster and give them a chance to breathe.

Unexpectedly, the Central Plains sent troops to Longyou...

After Longyou is Liangzhou, and after Liangzhou is Ganzhou, swallowing it up step by step, no one can resist it.

They must be connected together to let the Central Plains know how much the Western Expedition will cost.

Only in this way can they have a chance to breathe.

As the Khan of the Uighurs in Ganzhou, Jing Qiong's vision goes further.

After hearing this, Zhao Dangshu's expression also changed drastically.

His ancestors were also Han Chinese who lived in the northwest. After several generations of reproduction, their bloodlines had long been mixed.

However, deep in my memory, I remember that my grandfather often said before his death: The emperor of the Central Plains will come to recover the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and I only regret that I will not be able to see that day.

Although they are outsiders, they have considered Ganzhou their home for hundreds of years.

Regardless of whether it is the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties, this is the homeland of their Uighurs.

Zhao Dang vowed to volunteer and said: "Let me send my subordinates as envoys to Liangzhou! I believe that the tribes in Liangzhou will not ignore this situation..."

After all, Longyou River Huang is gone, and Liangzhou is next.

Ge Zhudan, who was in the hall, said: "If we send troops to Hehuang, what will happen to the Guiyi Army? The Guiyi Army has always accepted the canonization of the Central Plains. If the Emperor of the Central Plains allows the Guiyi Army to send troops to Ganzhou, what will happen to us?"

Jing Qiong said: "What Marshal Ge Haoshuai said makes sense. Master An, I want you to go to Guazhou as an envoy and ask Cao Yanjing to persuade Cao Yuanzhong. Under no circumstances can the Guiyi Army cause trouble at this time. I believe that Cao Yuanzhong will not

I can’t see that if the Central Plains’ hands really extend to the West, the Cao family will not have an easy time. Everyone knows what happened to Zhang Yichao. Can they be more amazing than Zhang Yichao?”

Monk An Wenhu clasped his hands and accepted the order.

Just when Jing Qiong set the tone for dispatching troops, a piece of news from Liangzhou came:

Li Chuyun, the envoy of the Hexi Festival in the Central Plains, united with the three powerful clans of Long clan, Gonggu clan and Minuo clan plus more than a dozen small clans, large and small, to stationed in Wuwei City, Liangzhou overnight. They occupied Wuwei and were fighting against Jia Shi.

Jing Qiong looked at the message in her hand and sat down on the stool. Her face was pale and her eyes were dull. There was only one thought in her mind: It's over, everything is over...

The seven tribes of Liangzhou were in civil strife at this time, so it was destined to be impossible to send troops to Hehuang with them.

By sending troops to Hehuang, they have already taken the risk of being attacked by the Guiyi Army. Now that even Liangzhou is unstable, sending troops by force is no different from seeking death.

What's more, it is definitely not a coincidence that Li Chuyun is inciting the Liangzhou wealthy family to rebel at this moment...

There must be a plan to echo the Longyou River Huangyuan.

The other party not only wanted Hehuang Longyou, but also took a fancy to Liangzhou.

Jing Qiong suddenly thought of a possibility. Perhaps the Emperor of the Central Plains had never trusted them from the beginning, and took the risk of arranging for Li Chuyun to come to Liangzhou just to cause trouble for them, lest they join forces to resist.

A chill came over me.

Jing Qiong stood up suddenly, looked at Wen Wu in front of him, and said solemnly: "Nothing happened today, we have never discussed anything. Who dares to spread a word about today's events, don't blame me for his cruel methods."

His eyes were filled with murderous intent.

At this point, there is nothing left to do.

Although Wuwei City has been in disrepair for a long time, it was a well-known fortified city in its early years, second only to Chang'an and Luoyang.

Li Chuyun defended the city. Who knows whether he could defeat it or not.

If Liangzhou delays for a few months, the power of the Central Plains will probably overwhelm Hehuang.

When the time comes, the elite from the Central Plains will enter Liangzhou and directly enter Wuwei City, where they will cut off the disobedient tribes one by one.

Unless the Tubo tribes in Longyou and Hehuang can defeat the Central Plains, the situation will be decided.

If you get involved at this time, it will give the Central Plains an excuse to send troops.

Jing Qiong still has a certain understanding of Liangzhou and Hehuang, where there are thousands of tribes of various sizes.

It would take at least three to five years for the Central Plains to subdue these Tubo tribes one by one.

It should not expand to the Ganzhou area in the short term, as long as he does not seek death...

**********

Liangzhou Wuwei City!

Li Chuyun gathered two hundred Wudesi who had sneaked into Liangzhou to serve as his personal bodyguards.

He personally commanded the troops from the three tribes of Zhelong, Gonggu, and Minuo on the city tower to repair Wuwei City.

Many tribes in Liangzhou make a living by grazing animals and living with water and grass.

Therefore, Wuwei City is not taken seriously and there is no daily maintenance and repair.

In the past six months, Li Chuyun, in addition to taking advantage of the profit prospects of the trade routes and instigating conflicts and frictions among the various tribes in Liangzhou, wandered around and kept the entire city defense situation of Wuwei City in mind.

Even the materials needed were prepared by Wu Desi.

With the opening of trade routes, many supplies and goods had to pass through Liangzhou for rest.

As long as they are not particularly conspicuous military materials such as armor, various stones and wood will not arouse suspicion.

After the incident, Li Chuyun immediately summoned the people in the city to repair and tidy up the missing parts overnight.

After Zhezu Jiashi reacted, what appeared in front of him was a city with basic defense capabilities.

Pan Luo rushed to the side of Jia Shi and said angrily: "Who repaired the west part of Wuwei City?"

When Zhezuo Jiashi heard this, his face turned blue and white, and he gave himself a slap in the face.

Wuwei City has been in disrepair for a long time, and there are even some traces of the old battlefield more than 30 years ago. There is a wall in the west of Wuwei City that has cracked and collapsed.

As long as you pass through the gravel, you can easily enter the city.

Wuwei City was originally free to enter and exit, but now that trade routes have been opened, merchants have to pay taxes when entering and exiting the city. Many people enter the city through the cracked city wall to evade taxes.

When Zhedu Jiashi learned about this, he was furious and ordered someone to give Li Chuyun a sum of money and ask him to repair the crack.

Thinking about it now, I feel as depressed as death.

If he knew that those tax evasion methods were spread by Li Chuyun, he would probably feel even more uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Pan Luozhi understood the reason and gritted his teeth and said: "The other party is well prepared. Look, big boss, they have even assembled a ballista. The longer they wait, the worse it will be."

Jia Shi also knew this and looked angrily at the soldiers who were repairing the city defense and said: "We can only attack by force..."

He glanced at the soldiers behind him and shouted: "Brothers, the city is full of ruthless Han people. They have robbed our city. Now there is countless wealth in it. On the day of the city's destruction, allow

You loot for three days and kill all the Han dogs..."
