Li Qianpu reacted instantly, pulled Helian Pingjiang excitedly, and asked: "How many are there?"
Helian Pingjiang said: "According to the news from the city, just a quarter of an hour ago. There were not many people, just over 800 people, but they brought many boxes, which are probably the treasures accumulated over the years."
Li Qianpu rubbed his hands with some excitement and asked, "Can you, Uncle Shi, bring some people to sneak into Wen Chengbu's team?"
Helian Pingjiang frowned and said, "You can give it a try. I don't know if it will work or not. Ever since my Helian family submitted to the imperial court, Wen Chengbu has been wary of everyone in the city. Shibo
Also included in his suspicions."
Li Qianpu's strategy for Hehuang did not start when he received the military order to go out. When he was ordered to guard Weizhou, he had already begun to plan the details.
It is true that opportunities come to those who are prepared.
In addition to using benevolent policies to recruit Tibetan refugees to return to the Han Dynasty, Li Qianpu also made friends with businessmen from Hehuang, Longyou.
If Longyouhehuang's caravan wants to enter Luoyang for trade, Weizhou is the only way to go.
As the governor of Weizhou, Li Qianpu provided great convenience to businessmen, so many businessmen liked to rest in Weizhou.
In addition to boosting Weizhou's economy, Li Qianpu also got to know many Western businessmen.
Among them was He Lianrong, a great businessman from Miaochuan City, with whom he established a friendship.
When Li Qianpu went to Lanzhou, he immediately wrote a letter to He Lianrong asking him to submit to the Central Plains.
He Lianrong liked business and was good at it, but half of his business income would be collected by Wen Chengbu.
He Lianrong had nothing to do about this. After all, if you were working under someone else, you had to spend money to ward off misfortunes.
Li Qianpu described the trade situation in the Central Plains in detail in the letter. As long as merchants pay taxes truthfully, all profits will belong to the merchants themselves. As long as one out of ten of the income is used to build bridges and roads to benefit the people, they can gain access to the people and the local area.
Officials praised.
Before the mid-Tang Dynasty, the status of merchants was low. However, with the advent of troubled times, after the end of the Tang Dynasty, the children of merchants could take the imperial examinations normally, and the status of merchants has been improved.
Rather than doing business under Wen Chengbu, it would be better to switch to the Central Plains and do business on your own.
Li Qianpu also described the prospects of doing business in Hehuang in his letter.
The governance of Longyou and Liangzhou in the Central Plains will inevitably eliminate the tribalization of Tubo and transform nomadic herding into farming and commerce.
Longyou and Liangzhou connect the Western Regions and the Central Plains, so the prospects for merchants are bound to be boundless.
And as a reward for helping, he can help introduce tea merchants and porcelain merchants.
Helian was so lucky that he almost fainted due to this inducement, and immediately chose to side with the Central Plains.
He provided Li Qianpu with a lot of information, which led to Li Qianpu's clever calculations.
He Lianrong has been in business for many years and has considerable influence in Miaochuan City, and has also attracted some people to the Central Plains.
However, since Kang Yanze lured him to Hezhou, Wen Chengbu guarded against the enemy's attempt to steal the city and gave no chance to those in the city who were in the enemy's camp but were still loyal to the Han.
But as soon as Wen Chengbu ran away, someone immediately spread the news.
Wen Chengbu took eight hundred people and fled southward in a hurry overnight.
Ben Zhaxi said beside him: "Big Chief, let's go directly south and pass through Shibao City to enter Qinghai Lake. Once we reach Qinghai Lake, we won't be afraid of the soldiers and horses from the Central Plains chasing us."
Wen Chengbu didn't say anything, but noticed something strange.
Benzahi's performance is too suspicious.
When leaving Mochuan City, Wen Chengbu also regarded Banzaxi as a confidant and wanted to share the wealth with him.
But along the way, Benzahi kept instigating him to go to Shibao City.
This inevitably aroused Wen Chengbu's suspicion.
Stone Castle is in the hands of a noble from Tibet named Enlan Yunkai, who is a descendant of the Tibetan hero Enlan Dazalugong.
When Tubo was not in chaos, Enlan Yunkai's grandfather was ordered by Tubo Zamp to guard the crucial Shibao City.
Later, Tubo fell into long-term chaos. The nobles on the plateau were in charge of their own affairs. The royal family did not dare to praise Pu for fear of being attacked by a group.
As a result, Tubo was leaderless, and all regions were acting independently, attacking each other, and creating chaos.
Stone Castle City became the inherent territory of the Enlan clan, passed down from generation to generation, and passed to the hands of Enlan Yunkai.
Enlan Yunkai was greedy and unruly. He relied on the strength of Stone Castle and did not pay attention to the people around him at all. He did not have any heroic spirit like his ancestor Dazalugong.
No matter who it is, if they want to pass through Stone Castle City, they must leave a huge amount of money to buy the way, no matter who they are.
He is not afraid of offending people either. Stone Castle is one of the few natural fortresses in the world.
Even if ten times as many troops come to fight, they still have to look at the fortress and sigh.
Enlan Yunkai's Zaihehuang and Qinghai Lake are notorious for being a shit stirrer that everyone hates and dogs hate.
Hundreds of people like me carry dozens of boxes of wealth through a greedy territory. What's the difference between this and a meat bun beating a dog?
Wen Chengbu did not respond, but said: "Enter Chiling first and then say anything else."
Rather than passing through Shibao City, Wen Chengbu preferred to go south along Chiling Mountain, and it was safer to go around Kuozhou to his hometown of Tuyuhun.
All the way south, Wen Chengbu discovered that a Central Plains army was chasing them nearby. They kept appearing in the southeast, forcing Wen Chengbu to march towards Shibao City.
"Big boss?"
A group of soldiers who fled in panic appeared in front of Wen Chengbu.
The two hundred or so embarrassed soldiers dismounted and saluted.
Wen Chengbu squinted at the Tyuhun man named Jin Zhuoshan in front of him and asked, "Jin Baihu, why are you here again?"
The Tubo tribes followed the Tubo military system.
Those who go to the big ones say that the court halls are Wuru, Yueru, Yeru, Rula, Supiru, and there are ten thousand households, one thousand households, one hundred households, and ten households in the local area.
Jin Zhuoshan is the head of a hundred households under his command.
Jin Zhuoshan was a little ashamed and said: "The Central Plains thieves entered the city, and my subordinates fought to the death. However, there were many enemies and they were really outmatched. They fled all the way south. I wanted to go back to the hometown of Tuyuhun, but in the end, a Central Plains cavalry chased my subordinates for a whole day as if they were chasing their lives.
All night, they refused to let go. They seemed to have seen through their subordinates' intention to go to Kuozhou, and ran to the front to intercept them. There was really no other way but to see if they could return to Tuguhun from Shibao City."
He is a centurion, but there are still two hundred men left in a deadly battle...
He doesn't blush when he tells lies.
Wen Chengbu frowned and said, "So, you brought the Central Plains soldiers in the southwest?"
Jin Zhuoshan said: "Probably!"
Wen Chengbu looked at Jin Zhuoshan.
Ben Tashi asked suspiciously: "Big leader, is there any fraud?"
Wen Chengbu smiled and said: "How could it be? Jin Baihu is my most trusted subordinate." He said: "Jin Baihu, come with me to Shibao City. He Huang thinks that the Central Plains belongs to all, and there is no place for me to stand.
The only way to survive is to pass through Shibao City."
Jin Zhuoshan was overjoyed and said loudly: "My subordinates are willing to follow the great leader."
Wen Chengbu did not even consider going around Chiling and went from Kuozhou to his hometown of Tuyuhun. He led more than a thousand people and went straight to Shibao City.
