Qingtang Tubo fell into a brief confusion. They did not expect that Wen Buqi was actually killed by the Song army in a battle, and they did not expect that Jiao Siluo was actually threatened by Tubo's argument.
Just when Jiao Si Luo was vigorously integrating the various tribes in Qingtang, the voice of doubt began to rise in Qingtang.
"Since Zamp is noble, why is he Wen Buqi's puppet?"
"Wen Buqi can hold Zamp hostage, so who knows if Zamp is currently being held hostage?!"
These speculations are not unreasonable, and even intensified in Qingtang. Who would have thought that Zampu, whom they admire, has always been someone else's puppet. This is something that ordinary people should not know.
Now it has become an issue that Tibetans in Qingtang bring up for discussion whenever possible.
These same "rumors" have greatly weakened the prestige of Jiao Si Luo. What is the most terrifying thing for people? It is the so-called independent thinking.
Once hit by a large amount of false news, no one will believe the truth in the face of rumors, and everyone will firmly believe that the guesses in their heads are the most accurate.
Jiao Siluo didn't know which tribe from Tubo was spreading his "rumors" in Qingtang. At this time, even if they were facts, they would be called "rumors".
The people of Tubo cannot be allowed to know about their past "humiliation", but how can they stop Youyou's mouth in Qingtang?!
What Jiao Siluo didn’t know was that after this overwhelming “public opinion storm”, it was Xiao Laowu from Puhui Company who was adding fuel to the fire!
As for these so-called rumors, they are actually facts that really happened. The cost of spreading rumors is high, but stating the facts is a very low-cost thing, and there is no need to find ways to lie.
It is also easier for the Tubo people to discover the truth. Xiao Laowu only needs to send people to accidentally let the news out, or even just accidentally "leak the news" to the Tubo people, and then he only needs to wait patiently.
Ding Xiaoyi has already sent the letter, but Xiao Laowu feels that he needs to wait for public opinion to ferment for a while before speaking.
If he went to Jiao Siluo first and then failed, the only thing Ding Xiaoyi had to do was to wait for the news, but he himself was a little anxious: "Xiao Laowu, this is the letter that the Marquis asked me to deliver. You just asked me to wait."
Can we wait? What should we do if we delay the Marquis’ military plane?!"
Xiao Laowu curled his lips: "Did the Marquis set a time limit for you to deliver the letter? If you weren't so anxious, why would you be so anxious? Now we just have to wait and see, and we also need to collect information. The Marquis sent you to lead the Cavalry Army.
Isn’t it just as simple as sending a letter? There must be other instructions in it, you should do your own thing well, don’t be in a hurry!"
Ding Xiaoyi was speechless for a moment, "Xiao Laowu is right, he brought the Qiaoqi Army here just to collect news about Qingtang, and of course, more importantly, to explore the situation of the Tibetan tribes in Qingtang."
"When I came here, Marquis Ye told me that no matter how smooth things go, we must be prepared for the worst. Could it be..."
Before Ding Xiaoyi finished speaking, Xiao Laowu nodded and said: "Yes, the surrender of Qingtang is of great importance. The Marquis said that Qingtang must be captured. If the soldiers regret it, even if they use troops rashly, they must
Take Qingtang, otherwise you will have nothing to answer to the court!"
Ding Xiaoyi trembled slightly and glared at Xiao Laowu: "If the Marquis uses troops without authorization... the consequences will be disastrous. Regardless of merits or demerits, the court will definitely pursue him! But even if Qingtang is captured, we will not be able to argue!"
Xiao Laowu sneered: "You don't know if you are the Marquis? Do your own thing and don't say anything else. We just need to follow the orders of the Marquis. For other things... the Marquis will eventually have a way!"
Gu Yu
Ding Xiaoyi said angrily: "What can I do?! It's not the same as before, all the achievements have been canceled out, and I can't bear to give even a mere reward of a city. The imperial court doesn't have any face at all!"
Ding Xiaoyi's words made Xiao Laowu's face change: "It's okay if you say this in front of me. You don't dare to talk nonsense in the army. If the people of the Imperial City Division hear it, it will be a small crime to punish you and implicate the Hou."
It’s a big deal! Don’t forget how Taizu ascended to the throne back then!”
After being scolded by Xiao Laowu in a low voice, Ding Xiaoyi also came to his senses and sneered in a low voice: "There's no one around here except you and me! I won't tell you from now on. How is the head of my family doing lately?"
"The head of your family is now called Shopkeeper Shui. He has gone to Luoche City a few days ago. The Marquis has made a message in the shop. All transactions between us and the Tubo people will be decided by Shopkeeper Shui. Not to mention, Shopkeeper Shui
But it was much more powerful than when she was in Tokyo. It was rare for a woman to walk swiftly on the plateau. She was surprised to find something that even a man could not do. I heard that the Tibetan nobles in Luoshu City had already placed a big order.
, our sales to Tibet next year may double what we did this year!”
Xiao Laowu's rosacea was a little red with excitement, and his proud look made Ding Xiaoyi proudly say: "That means you don't want to see how powerful I am as a master of water?"
The two of them were chatting animatedly, but Xiao Si at the door sang a fat promise and said: "My boss, Zamp's envoy is here to pay me a visit."
Following Xiao Si's words, Xiao Laowu and Ding Xiaoyi looked at each other. They didn't expect Jiao Siluo to be so anxious and send someone here.
Ding Xiaoyi nodded slightly at Xiao Laowu and then retreated. Xiao Laowu straightened his clothes and said to the door: "I will go out to greet Zanpu's envoy!"
But before Xiao Laowu could go out, a burst of hearty laughter came from the door: "I can't wait any longer, so I'll come here myself without bothering shopkeeper Xiao!"
The person who entered the door was Sangge, Jiao Siluo's confidant. This person was very loyal to Jiao Siluo and was also a loyal retainer of Ali's Zanpu. Xiao Laowu should not neglect him.
He quickly looked back at the window and saw Ding Xiaoyi running out like a civet cat. Then he opened the door and said, "Brother Sanger said this to others. Do you and I still need such compliments? I don't know before today."
Why are you here?"
Sangge smiled and took Xiao Laowu's arm. He slowly sat down and said, "Shopkeeper Xiao, we don't have to be so polite. My Zanpu got the protection of your Marquis to start integrating the various tribes in Qingtang."
, Nowadays, rumors are flying all over the sky, like grasshoppers on the grassland, which cannot be collected. I wonder what your Lord Marquis wants to do?"
Xiao Laowu immediately shook off Sanger's hand angrily and said: "What do you mean by this? Are you talking about the rumors spread by my Puhui Company? Such despicable things can be done by my Puhui Company?!"
Xiao Laowu knew that Sanger had no evidence, so he did not intend to give him any good looks, and even turned against him.
"Besides, my Marquis promised your Zanpu, but your Zanpu did not keep his promise! We agreed to welcome the king's army, but he never saw your Zanpu disbanding the troops of various Tibetan tribes! It costs money to raise troops.
, by eliminating soldiers, you can spend less and spend more on people's livelihood...Now that your Zanpu has a large number of troops and has not taken any action, why do you want to imitate Wen Buqi?"
When Wen Buqi was mentioned, Sanger's face immediately became even uglier, because everyone in Qingtang knew about Zong Ge's visit to the capital outside the city, and many of the Tibetan warriors who were lucky enough to escape heard the Song army's
Immediately after receiving the title, he trembled, claiming that the Song army easily slaughtered Wen Buqi's elite troops outside Zongge City. The speed was so fast and the ferocity of the attack was shocking.
"Shopkeeper Xiao's wish is that if our Qingtang Tibetan people don't obey Ye Hou's orders, then the Marquis will also build another Jingguan outside Qingtang City?!"
Xiao Laowu sneered: "You said this yourself, I didn't say it, but there was a covenant first. If you break the promise, don't blame us for breaking the promise."
"But you didn't say you were going to build a Jingguan outside Zongge City! So many Tubo men were buried under the loess by you!"
"Wen Buqi invaded our border state of the Song Dynasty, robbed the people, attacked the government offices, and burned the city. This is the punishment he deserves! Our Heavenly Army of the Song Dynasty used thunderous means, why not?!"
Xiao Laowu was tit for tat. Of course he knew what Sanger meant when he came. Jiao Siluo was frightened by Ye Hou's methods. He was worried that he would follow in Wen Buqi's footsteps...
