"Going to attack with troops, Ye Hou has such a good plan!"
After Jiao Siluo saw Ye An, he smiled bitterly and shook his head. To him, everything in Liangzhou City was so tall and out of reach, and he understood Ye An's intention.
The current Song Dynasty is an existence that he cannot fight against. No matter how powerful Tubo is, it will be of no avail.
"It has not been easy for you over the years. You have been changed hands by powerful people from all over Tubo several times, and you have become the puppet Zanpu who is ordered to do so. But if you want me, the Song Dynasty, to support you and regain your Zanpu's real power, you have to pay some price."
"I wonder what price Yehou demands?"
Ye An smiled: "Send soil to accept surrender! Let my soldiers of the Song Dynasty be stationed in Qingtang!"
"Does Marquis Ye think this is possible? Even if it is to become a Tubo Zanpu in name only, it is better than letting Qingtang Tubo become the land of the Song Dynasty!"
Ye An looked at the indignant Jiao Siluo strangely and said: "Why do you think that Qingtang Tibetans will have a bad life after they belong to our Han Dynasty? Or do you think that our Han family will treat the Tubo people harshly?"
"Does this need to be said? You Song people don't know how the Xiqiang people caused chaos? Yehou was the deputy envoy to appease Huanzhou back then!"
"It may not be a wise move to look at one point and get a full picture. It is reasonable for Qingtang Tubo to surrender to the Song Dynasty. Although the imperial court is stationed in Qingtang, it will definitely give you the power to control Qingtang. Qingtang is still your slave.
Luo has the final say, so what’s wrong with that?”
Jiao Siluo was not stupid, but said with a smile: "Oh? Is that really true? People work as swordsmen and I work as fish and meat. The green pond is still the green pond of the Tibetan people?"
Ye An shook his head: "You should know that if you die, there will be no more Zanpu in Qingtang, and I, the Song Dynasty, can also use the name of attacking the rebellious people to annihilate Wen Buqi, and then establish another Zanpu
But it’s such a piece of cake!”
A flash of light flashed in Jiao Siluo's eyes. He did not expect that Ye An would threaten him so relentlessly. Seeing the unkind eyes of the soldiers of the Song Army around him, Jiao Siluo sneered and said, "If this is the case, I will rob Ben Zanpu and bring him to Liangzhou Prefecture."
What’s more? It’s better to be General Ding and kill me to avoid long nights and dreams!”
Ye An sighed: "Yes! It is easy for Ding Xiaoyi to kill you. You have also seen how powerful those eight hundred cavalry troops are. Who can keep them after entering Qingtang City? But it is a pity.
You have a good reputation and a great reputation in Qingtang, so I need you to completely make Qingtang Tubo surrender to the Song Dynasty!"
Jiao Siluo looked at Ye An. This time he knew that the Yunzhong Lord across from him was not lying, but was speaking from the bottom of his heart. However, these heartfelt words made him extremely uncomfortable.
At present, Qingtang and Tubo have become a treasure in the eyes of the Song people. Especially from Ye An's relaxed attitude, it can be seen that he has plans to use troops in Qingtang at any time!
In the northwest, Ye An's reputation as the "Devil General" is already known to everyone. In addition to causing big losses to the party members several times, the orderly governance of the two prefectures of Gansu and Liang is also the main reason.
Many people call him "Ye Xiao Xianggong", which means he is capable of literary and military skills and has the talent to assist the country!
Valley legs
Such a person will not end well if he confronts him head-on. Jiao Siluo also had his own considerations. He turned to look at Ye And and said: "Then what can I, the Tubo people, get?"
"Bah bang bang!"
Ye An clapped his hands lightly and said: "Finally the question is on point. You can't just look at what you lose. Only when you give up can you gain. Although you lose military power, what you gain is something that you Tubo people will never think of.
Prosperity!"
"Grain, porcelain, tea, cloth, silk, cotton, sweaters, woodware, ironware, farm tools, vehicles, etc., I, the Song Dynasty, will supply in unlimited quantities. In the years of good harvest, I, the Song Dynasty, will buy your excess grain. In the years of famine, I will The Song Dynasty will transport the grain you need, your cattle, sheep, Qingtang horses, highland barley wine, and all the products of the cattle and sheep. I, the Song Dynasty, will buy it at free prices. From now on, you Tubo people will not only not have to worry about food and drink, You will also get rich and have extra money to buy more daily necessities. Isn’t that so bad?”
Jiao Siluo was not a fool, and of course he would not believe Ye An's words. He frowned slightly and asked: "I'm afraid what Ye Hou said is a bit exaggerated. After all, the Song Dynasty does not need much, and I, the Tubo people, don't need much." But there are so many, so why would the Song Dynasty give me the daily necessities of Tibet?"
Ye An smiled slightly, Jiao Siluo had already fallen into his trap. There was no way, the Tubo people were too poor, so poor that Jiao Siluo couldn't help but daydream about the bright future...
"Because you have Qingtang grassland, Qinghai, and Qingtang salt! Not to mention the cattle and sheep on the grassland, beef tendons, horns, and cowhide are all things I need in the Song Dynasty. There will be pricing in the future, no matter you Qingtang As for the wool, it is what my Puhui Company needs. No matter how much wool there is, my Puhui Company will buy it at a high price. Only I, Puhui Company, will buy it at a high price. Only Huishang has the ability to spin wool into wool. Do you know about sweaters? People who have worn them say that now the rich in the Song Dynasty wear sweaters in winter, what do you think?"
Following Ye An's words, Jiao Siluo slowly began to believe that Ye An could indeed bring a different life to Qingtang and allow the poor people here to live a good life.
He didn't know anything else. He only knew that the cattle and sheep in the hands of the people in Qingtang could never be sold at a high price, but Wen Buqi had occupied all the Qinghai salt, and ordinary Tubo people could only become his slaves.
Green salt is the best salt. Even the people of the Song Dynasty have to admit this. Green salt alone can bring Wen Buqi a good income every year to support his army.
Unexpectedly, Qingtang, which was so poor, was actually a huge treasure house. Jiao Siluo suddenly had a crazy idea. The simplest way he could give the people of Qingtang a good life was to herd and raise sheep!
Qingtang has quite fertile pastures. The Yellow River flows down from the plateau all the way to the east, which also nourishes the land of Qingtang. Coupled with the existence of Qinghai Lake, they have endless pastures for grazing, and their cattle and sheep live endlessly. , as long as there is enough time and patience, Qingtang will definitely become the richest place!
But Jiao Siluo did not completely let down his guard. After all, he wanted to let Tubo in Qingtang abolish all its troops. In this way, Tubo would be like an undefended treasure house to the Song people.
"How can we, Qingtang, keep Tubo peaceful without an army?!"
Ye An smiled and asked back: "Is this the case that you will no longer have an army in Qingtang? You not only need to have your own army, but also the best of the best. Otherwise, how can you maintain order in Qingtang? I am Asking you to dismantle the army does not mean that there will be no army at all. Of course, the Song Dynasty will also station troops in Qingtang to guard against those who cause trouble. Otherwise, what will happen if there is another powerful place?"
Following Ye An's words, Jiao Siluo fell into a daze. He was struggling in his heart and didn't know how to answer Ye An.
"You don't need to worry. These are my thoughts and expectations for Qingtang in the future. Whether it can come true... depends on God's will. If you, Qingtang Tubo, don't want to become a part of our Song Dynasty, then maybe
It’s just another way.”
After Ye An finished speaking, he stood up and patted Jiao Siluo's shoulder reassuringly: "Maybe Zanpu will have to think about where to go for some time, and I have to report the truth to the court. I cannot make the decision on this matter alone."
