Chapter five hundred and thirty fifth convincing people with virtue
"Ye Hou, our roots are in this Qinggang Gorge. We must abandon the land, cattle, and sheep?!" Zihe Changlin looked at Ye An, his eyes full of reluctance and prayer.
"That's right, we must abandon them. Even if we can take these things away, they will affect our marching speed. Besides, there are still many old and weak people. We are running for our lives! The party members will not allow us to move safely!"
Ye An's words made Zihe Changlin's heart tremble, but the other leaders could no longer bear it: "It's better for me to wait for the Xiqiang people and fight to the death with Dang Xiang, and at least we can still keep our foundation!"
"What foundation?!" Ye An stood up angrily and shouted: "It's just some rags. How much is the wealth saved from nomadism to farming worth? As for the foundation? Are you still thinking about rebellion?!"
Ye An's threat echoed in the small cave, as cold as the mist in the abyss and biting. The Xiqiang people did not dare to speak. They were really afraid of the gentle-looking young man in front of them, who was full of elegance in his elegance.
Underneath his appearance is a devilish heart.
Ye An breathed out a sigh of relief. He really had no choice. These Xiqiang people paid too much attention to the immediate things and did not take a long-term view.
"How many cattle and sheep do you have? How much land do you have? How much iron, porcelain, and silk are there? They are not worth mentioning in front of me, the Song Dynasty! If you surrender, the country will definitely reward you, and you leaders will have
Don’t you know how many rewards you have received? Your rewards and official reports are still stored in Tongyuan City!”
Zihe Changlin saw the greed in the eyes of the Western Qiang people. Yes, it was the greed that saw the fat sheep on the table. After seeing these eyes, Zihe Changlin knew that the Western Qiang in Qinggang Gorge would be completely
's disappearance.
Ye An said something very strange and reasonable to him before, "When people can be bribed by wealth, these people will never have the desire to resist again."
The combination of kindness and power has always been an important way for the Han family to treat Tibetan tribes. No matter who they are, they will have a mentality of admiration for the strong, and they will willingly obey the strong. Such strength is the same whether in terms of force or financial resources.
Ye An didn't like the things in Qinggang Gorge at all. Since he wanted to win over these Western Qiang people and make them submit to the Song Dynasty or even move inland, he had to spend money that they could not imagine to defeat their psychological defenses at once.
The poverty of the Xiqiang people can almost be described as abject poverty. The Song Dynasty had all the things they produced, even if they didn't need them, and the Song Dynasty also had what they needed, even in huge quantities.
If you want to relocate the Xiqiang people in Qinggang Gorge, the best way to leave this borderland is to completely turn them into a farming people. Once they become farming, it is almost as difficult as climbing to the sky to degenerate into a nomadic state.
Under Ye An's persuasion of "conquering people with virtue", the Western Qiang tribes began their actions. Each tribe counted their troops and assembled as quickly as possible, because Ye An had already spoken, and the land was carried out at the speed of arriving at Xiamo Village.
and farm tools and other daily necessities.
Inadvertently, the Xiqiang people began to "involve" themselves. Everyone knew that the Song Dynasty people were generous, and the large-scale pacification deputy envoy of the Song Dynasty kept his word. No one wanted the land, cattle and sheep that their tribe had received.
The number was less than that of others, and they did not want to be allocated less iron tools and farm tools than others, so in just one night, all the tribes of Xiqiang had been reorganized, and even the Zihe tribe had left Qinggang Gorge and headed for Xiamo Village in the north.
Who doesn’t know the close relationship between the Zihe tribe and Ye An? As the Zihe tribe set off, the various tribes of the Xiqiang immediately followed, and even tried to surpass them.
Tieniu looked at the Xiqiang people who kept leaving Huluyu and threw away their heavy utensils and murmured to himself: "Why do I feel that the Xiqiang people are like mules and horses that have lost their bean cakes?"
Although the metaphor is inappropriate, it is also apt. Zhou Wenzhi laughed and clasped his fists at Ye An and said: "Ye Hou's clever plan made Zhou admire him. He will definitely send these Xiqiang people to Xiamao Village. He also hopes that Ye Hou will speed up."
Leave quickly... to escape from danger!" After saying that, he led the security army and Dingbian army to escort the Xiqiang people along the way.
"Marquis Ye, when should we leave? Now that the party members have occupied Hulukou, Hulu Valley is the last place we can leave. We'd better leave the dangerous place as soon as possible!"
Ye An looked in the direction of Hulukou in the distance. He was a little confused as to why the party members suddenly stood still. This was not like the style of the party members!
"Dangxiang's troops stood still, and I felt a little uneasy. I sent people to go around the cliff of Hulukou to see why Dangxiang's army didn't overwhelm us!"
During this period of time, Ye An focused entirely on the Qinggang Gorge and the Xiqiang people. Ye An relaxed his collection of battlefield intelligence. When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had committed a taboo in military affairs. Fortunately, it was not too late to remedy the situation.
already.
But before Cheng Gongshou could send out the best climber in the Imperial City Division, Shi Xin came under the guidance of the Xiqiang guide. He was tired and his face was sad. Ye An was about to cry when he saw him.
From the tearless expression on his face, he knew that this guy must have brought bad news.
Sure enough, everyone was shocked as soon as he opened his mouth: "For your information, Marquis Ye, I and Cao Jiedu led the Zhenrong army all the way to Qingpingguan. However, on the way, we encountered party members who continued to cover up and harass, and the march was very slow. However, Cao Jiedu knew that.
Zhou Wenzhi's reinforcements had not yet arrived, but Yehou defended Qingping Pass against more than 10,000 Western Qiang people, and took the risk to rush in. Unexpectedly, the "tongue" captured at Qingping Pass said that you could quell the rebellion of Western Qiang, and entered the Qinggang Gorge.
I waited for this to survive! Who would have known... Who would have thought that he would encounter Dangxiang's soldiers again, and Cao Jiedu would try his best to kill the thieves. Who would have thought that the veterans of Zhenrong's military division were exhausted from the battle, and Dangxiang's cavalry broke into the right wing of our army and tore the formation apart.
Time...the dead have no account!”
Ye An breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what Shi Xin said: "He was just defeated rather than defeated. With Cao Jiedu's ability, he can naturally gather the remaining soldiers. Where is he now?"
Shi Xin had been brewing for a long time, but he was suddenly overturned by Ye An, who said awkwardly: "Cao Jiedu retreated to Qingping Pass..."
"Understood. When you get back tomorrow, you will tell Cao Jiedu to keep his troops stationary and let him use his troops at nightfall!" After Ye An said this, he gave Shi Xin a small wooden sculpture and turned away, leaving Cheng Gongshou and others puzzled.
The summer night was a bit sultry, but fortunately the Xiqiang people brought the few remaining mugwort oil before they left. This stuff is said to be able to cool the blood and remove dampness, but its greatest effect is that it is fragrant and repels mosquitoes.
It is evenly applied on the body like ointment, and annoying mosquitoes will not dare to come near. Not to mention that the effect is quite good. Ye An feels that if this thing is sold in Tokyo, it will definitely be a good thing sought after by dignitaries in summer.
Ye An leaned on the box and stared at the sky. There were many and bright stars tonight, and the lighting conditions were very good. The huge moon did not hesitate to shine the sun's rays on Qinggang Gorge particularly clearly. Ye An could even see it under such moonlight.

In the second half of the night, the ground shook slightly, followed by two thunderous roars, and then there was a shaking of the earth and the mountains, and the cliff on the gourd mouth collapsed...
