There are not many connections between the Western Regions and the Central Plains. Most of the time, the Central Plains are not aware of changes in the Western Regions. They have been away from the rule of the Central Plains for too long, and there are very few exchanges between the two sides. In many cases, the exchange of information can only be completed by caravans. Even if
The envoy also came with the caravan.
Although the current Western Region is still dominated by the Xizhou Uighurs, it is a pity that it is at the end of the war, and the former glory has been buried in the dust of history. To the north is the Liao Dynasty's Shangjing Dao Nianba Ge tribe, and to the east are Yumen Pass and Shazhou occupied by Dangxiang.
Guazhou.
To the south is the Yellow-headed Uighur that has surrendered to Dangxiang, and to the west is the powerful Black Khanate. It can be said that it is surrounded on all sides, but despite the strong external pressure, it is relatively loose and divided internally, and they are all trying their best to preserve their own power.
With its strength and the land it controlled, it was unable to fight back against the party's invasion.
Such Xizhou Uighurs are dispensable to Ye An, not to mention that it is impossible for him to believe that Rosanna is the current queen of Xizhou Uighurs just through her empty words.
Although Aslanhan is the title of the Uighur King, which means "Lion King", at present, any Uighur in Xizhou can say that he is Aslanhan.
"How do you prove that you are Aslanhan, the queen of the Western Uighurs?"
"Would you believe it if I said I had Aslan Khan's seal?"
"Do not believe."
Rosanna smiled slightly: "I knew you wouldn't believe me, but I have the support of Beiting, Yanqi, and Qiuci, and Yangji Bali, Peng Bali, and Jiaohe Prefecture all recognize me as the king!"
"What about Gaochang? Your father and your brother are still alive. Why didn't they become Aslan Khan?"
"Because they don't deserve it!"
From Roxana's extremely disappointed expression, Ye An could see how disappointed she was with her father and brother. At the same time, Ye An also sighed in disappointment and said: "You hope to borrow troops from Ganliang to seize the rights of Gaochang for you, and make the entire Xizhou
The Uighurs became a complete khanate and were ruled by you, but unfortunately this plan did not work."
"Why doesn't it work? As long as I succeed, the Xizhou Uighurs will surrender to the Song Dynasty and fight against the rise of Dangxiang together with the Song Dynasty!"
"The risk is too high, the cost is too high, and the chance of winning is slim. Your father and brother should advocate joining Dangxiang, right? You will be completely disappointed only after seeing their compromise. Ganliang sending troops to help you capture Gaochang is equivalent to declaring war on Dangxiang.
It is impossible for everyone to agree."
"You Song officials are so short-sighted! But the emperor of the Song Dynasty will not be like this!"
Ye An chuckled: "I'm sorry, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty has no interest in communicating with the barbarians in the Western Regions. Otherwise, why didn't your envoy receive a separate summons from him?"
Roxana bit her lower lip tightly. This was all the strength she had accumulated from her years of hard work. All the tribes in Xizhou were willing to support her as Aslan Han, but they could only succeed with the help of the Song Dynasty.
Ganliang's Xilie Army and Huaiyuan Army were her only external help in gaining the throne. As Ye An said, the tribes in Xizhou were unwilling to send troops to help her capture Gaochang City, even if she sacrificed her life for the people of Xizhou Uighurs.
More is impossible.
"How can you help me!"
The bargaining chips in the negotiations have been exhausted, and Roxana can only declare surrender. Without a trump card, she can only let Ye An take the lead. This sentence has shown her attitude. No matter how excessive Ye An's request is, she will accept it.
Ye An looked at Roxana a lot, and finally said: "You want to be mine!"
Even if she were beaten to death, she would not have thought that what Ye An wanted in the end was actually herself!
However, Rosanna soon changed her expression. The charm spreading out from her body frightened Ye An so much that he couldn't help but straighten his body with both hands and lean back.
"It's just a matter of words for Marquis Ye to want the slave family, why bother..." Rosanna clung to her like a civet cat, frightening Ye An to the point where he couldn't reach out even if he didn't.
"Don't, don't, don't! I don't want you!"
"Then what does Ye Hou want?" Roxana murmured flirtatiously while stroking the court dress with a square heart-shaped collar on Ye An's chest with her fingers.
Even a man couldn't stand this kind of provocation, but Ye An bit the tip of his tongue to wake himself up. The little girl in front of him was not a simple woman, and he was thinking in his heart: "This is a poisonous snake, a poisonous snake, a poisonous snake!"
"You don't understand what I mean. I want you to be my puppet and my spokesperson in Xizhou!"
Ye An finished saying this in one breath, then quickly pulled Rosanna away and stood up. If he continued to be entangled by this woman, he was afraid that he would lose control.
"You want to be Aslan Han in Xizhou?!"
Roxana looked at Ye An dumbfounded. She already knew that Ye An would not be moved by her beauty, but she never thought that what Ye An wanted was the entire Xizhou!
This man is too terrifying. His ambitions are insignificant in front of him. This loyalist of the Song Dynasty is actually planning to rule Xizhou by himself. Is Ganliang still the Ganliang of the Song Dynasty?
But Rosanna couldn't figure it out, why would Ye An do this? Isn't he afraid that the matter will be exposed and the Song people will find out? Or does he have some perfect means?
Or did he already have a plan in Ganliang? At this time, Rosanna suddenly felt that she was like a plaything in the hands of the princes and nobles in front of him. While she was still working hard to please, they had already begun to plan a bigger chess game.
After receiving such a shock, Rosanna felt completely bad. She even felt that tonight's meeting was all arranged and controlled by Ye An.
Unfortunately, this is not the case. Ye An just saw a possibility and wanted to turn this possibility into his trump card. The two parties had different perceptions and different perspectives on the problem. No wonder she had this idea.
Ye An was not worried about his conversation with Roxana being overheard. Before he arrived, Roxana's people had tightly guarded the place, and the two were very close to each other during the conversation, unless they were lying under the brocade couch.
Eavesdropping, otherwise it would be impossible to know the content of the conversation between the two.
"I've always been a kind person. You decide what you choose. Don't try to play tricks. I have countless ways to check and balance. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made this proposal."
After saying this, Ye An left calmly. For him, Roxana had no way out. In the competition between the two powers, she had to choose one.
After Ye An left, the devastated Rosanna sat on the brocade couch. Even if she was surrounded by warm furs, she could not feel a trace of warmth. On the contrary, she was filled with chills.
Whenever she felt that she could see Ye An's face clearly, he would always give her a surprise blow.
"The dignified Lord Yunzhong is actually running the northwest secretly. Perhaps I am the only one who knows this secret... It seems that I won't be able to agree to it this time."
Rosanna knew that after Ye An revealed his purpose, she had no choice.
But why would he do this?
Managing the northwest is not a big deal. Many of the Song Dynasty's generals are operating in the area where they operate. But Ye An is different. He is a Beijing official of the Song Dynasty. He has resigned from his post to promote Ganliang affairs and does not have any military power.
Why would he let himself be his puppet in Xizhou?
It is impossible for Roxana to say that Ye An would betray the Song Dynasty. No one knows the gap between Xizhou and the Central Plains better than her. Who would want to give up everything in Tokyo and go to Xizhou to work hard? Being a minister of the Song Dynasty is not possible.
Okay? High position, great power, unlimited glory...
