Jiao Siluo very wisely chose to hide his whereabouts. His carriage did not have luxurious decorations or the yellow and red tassels that represented Zamp, but only a simple wooden carriage and coarse cloth curtains.
The carriage came out of the small courtyard not far from the Golden Sun Wheel Palace. Jiao Siluo put on a simple linen robe and left in the carriage when no one was around.
No one would believe that he was Zanpu, the superior and closest to God in Qingtang Tubo, and no one knew that he would go to Tokyo in the Song Dynasty.
The carriage left Qingtang, and Gesang was left to deal with the Song people, and Jiao Siluo specifically ordered him to find a way to delay time with Xiao Laowu, and to make the Song people feel that he was still struggling.
The more ambiguous the answer, the more people in the Song Dynasty can guess that Jiao Siluo does not expect Sanger to deal with it until he comes back from Tokyo. He only needs to delay it for a month, or even more than half a month.
As long as he can enter the Central Plains, Ye An will not be able to send anyone to catch up with him. As long as he reaches Tokyo City, everything will change.
Qingtang's future is in his own hands, not in his Ye An's hands.
Jiao Siluo knew very well what the Song court needed. As long as Qingtang declared its surrender to the Song court, he would be able to obtain an official position from the Song court and officially become a vassal of the Song Dynasty.
At that time, Ye An would not be able to use troops on the land of Qingtang at will, let alone threaten himself!
What the Song Dynasty wanted was the surrender of Qingtang, stability in the northwest, and Tibet not being a hindrance when fighting Dangxiang, and it was fully capable of making promises on its own.
As for Ye An... he wants Qingtang to become the territory of the Song Dynasty, and what he wants is for himself, Zanpu, to become a true minister of the Song Dynasty. How is this possible?!
Jiao Siluo has his own pride. He is a descendant of Zanpu of the Tubo Dynasty. He is comparable to the emperor of the Central Plains. It is simply a humiliation for him to return to the Song Dynasty like King Qian of Wu and Yue!
Ye An may be able to turn Qingtang into the territory of the Song Dynasty, but Jiao Siluo believes that the civil servants of the Song Dynasty must be able to help him. Although he has been in Qingtang these years, he knows the court of the Song Dynasty very well.
This is due to his interaction with the Song Dynasty over the years.
Although Wen Buqi defected to the Dangxiang people and joined forces with Li Deming, he had to paralyze the Song people. For this reason, the role of Zanpu was the best cover.
Jiao Siluo received envoys from the Song Dynasty more than once, and the envoys also brought books and poems from the Song Dynasty, which gave Jiao Siluo a thorough understanding of the Song Dynasty.
Time passed quickly. When Sanger came to visit again and righteously accused the Song Dynasty of massacring the Tibetan people, Xiao Laowu and Ding Xiaoyi realized at the same time that this was Jiao Siluo stalling for time.
It was obvious that Jiao Siluo had no intention of meeting Ding Xiaoyi. Even though Xiao Laowu had made it obvious, and Ding Xiaoyi had revealed his identity as Ye An's envoy, Jiao Siluo still did not summon him.
But not only was he not summoned from time to time, but Sanger kept coming to accuse Ye An, either accusing him of massacring the Tibetan people, or accusing him of spreading rumors and deliberately damaging the dignity of Jiao Si Luo.
Anyway, there are plenty of excuses, just delaying time.
When Xiao Laowu found out through a special relationship that Jiao Siluo was no longer in the Golden Sun Wheel Palace, Ding Xiaoyi no longer needed to see Jiao Siluo.
But Xiao Laowu couldn't understand why Jiao Siluo would hide from Ding Xiaoyi. Didn't he know what would happen if he angered Ye An?
Gu Zhu
Obviously, neither Xiao Laowu nor Ding Xiaoyi would have thought that Jiao Siluo, who has been wandering in the game of multi-party forces all year round, has found another way, a way that can completely skip Ye An, or even suppress Ye An.
Ding Xiaoyi returned to Zongge City, and Ye An also received the news half a month later. Jiao Siluo actually left Qingtang. He did not go to the Tubo Plateau to move reinforcements, but went all the way east, passing through Qinfeng Road and Yongchang Road.
Xingjun Road arrives at Jingzhao Prefecture, only one step away from Henan Prefecture and Tokyo City.
This speed was really outrageous, and Jiao Siluo tried his best to secure his position in Qingtang.
Cao Yi and Chen Lin also didn't understand why Jiao Siluo wanted to go to Tokyo City. Wasn't this because he was falling into a trap and being controlled by the Song Dynasty?
But Ye An understood Jiao Siluo's intention in a short time, and his expression suddenly changed. Chen Lin asked in confusion: "Isn't it a good thing for us that Jiao Siluo goes to Tokyo City?"
Ye An beat his chest and stamped his feet, and let out a burst of mourning, which made Cao Yi say impatiently: "If you have something to say, please say it, how long has it been, and you are still showing off!"
Ye An could only look up to the sky helplessly and sigh: "No matter how hard it is, God can't predict it. I didn't expect that his servant is so smart and knows so much about the political affairs of the country!"
After saying that, he looked at Chen Lin and said: "The high official is in the palace. Do you know the attitude of the saint and the official when the foreign ministers visit the Tian family?"
Chen Lin said without thinking: "Of course, I will treat you with the courtesy of the heaven. If there is tribute, it will be doubled... Hiss, hiss... What do you mean?"
Ye An nodded, looked at Cao Yi beside him and said: "If Jiao Siluo goes to Tokyo City alone, meets the saint and respectfully offers the land of Qingtang, and is willing to surrender to the Song Dynasty and become its vassal territory, you two think
Can our plan to encroach on Qingtang still succeed? When he returned to Qingtang again, he was no longer a mere Zanpu of Tubo in Qingtang, but a high-ranking official of the Song Dynasty, and even had some rights to Qingtang.
Complete control. In name, we can’t even station border troops. At that time, Jiao Siluo will come with the bestowal documents, and with the name of Zanpu, all the Tibetan tribes in Qingtang..."
"He is the second Li Deming!"
After coming back to their senses, Cao Yi, Chen Lin and Cao Yi spoke almost in unison, and then looked at Ye An in shock. This is no small matter. If it is true as Ye An said, Jiao Siluo's plan succeeds, the consequences will be disastrous!
Chen Lin took Ye An's arm and said: "Boy Ye, this is not a trivial matter. There is a Li Deming in the northwest who is a problem for us in the Song Dynasty. If there is another enemy, if the two of them join forces, the border states in the northwest will be threatened."
No more peace!"
Cao Yi also nodded repeatedly. He would not be able to leave the Jishi Army for a while. If he could not defend the Jishi Army after his military exploits, it would bring disgrace to the Cao family.
Even if Jiao Siluo doesn't rebel now, if there is any change in the future, it will not be a trivial matter.
Again, I am not afraid of Li Deming, and I am not afraid of a cornerman. What I am afraid of is that these two people join forces.
Once the northwest of the Song Dynasty fell into chaos, the business of Liangzhou Prefecture would inevitably be unable to continue. Not only would the people suffer, but the imperial court would also suffer losses.
Both Chen Lin and Cao Yi were involved in the interests of the northwest. They were different from Zhou Dingguo. Zhou Dingguo was in it to make money, while they were in it for the Song Dynasty and their own military exploits.
Chen Lin looked at Ye An with a slightly serious look and said: "Prepare three fast horses and dry food for a certain family, and the certain family will rush to Bianliang, Tokyo, at starry night!"
Ye An shook his head and said, "It's better for you to go than for me to go. I'm worried about the Tian family. What I'm worried about is... the civil servants doing bad things!"
As soon as these words came out, Cao Yi immediately nodded in agreement.
