Ye An let go of Jiao Siluo. Killing him was meaningless, but it made it easier for the Tubo people in Qingtang to unite against the Song Dynasty. Jiao Siluo was just an ordinary Tibetan leader in the Song Dynasty, but among the people of Qingtang In his eyes, he was a demi-god.
Killing Jiao Siluo's guards was actually a warning to him. Although the Tubo warriors died, there were still some servants following Jiao Siluo. These servants were not from Qingtang, but Jiao Siluo's people in Tokyo. A slave bought by his wife.
The Tubo people have always been in the habit of buying and selling slaves, and what Jiao Siluo bought were all powerful Tubo slaves. For him, every Tubo person was a help to Qingtang.
After passing Lanzhou, we entered the territory of Huangzhou, which is not far from Ganliang and Qingtang. Especially after passing Liuling, we directly arrived at Liangzhou Prefecture.
Here Ye An lets Jiao Siluo go, and he holds Jiao Siluo hostage in the name of "protection" along the way, because without his protection, Jiao Siluo is likely to die unexpectedly.
News from Puhui Company revealed that the party members were planning to take action against Jiao Siluo. Li Deming even issued a pursuit order and offered a very high reward.
Although there is no so-called "Xixia Yipintang" in reality, there is no shortage of elite spies in the party. Chen Lin's Imperial City Division captured countless agents lurking in the Song Dynasty.
It would be too easy for these people to kill Jiao Siluo on his way back, and as long as Jiao Siluo dies, a war will inevitably break out between Qingtang and the Song Dynasty.
In the end, only Li Deming's party will benefit. No matter how stupid Ye An is, he will not let him succeed.
Along the way, Zhao Hu found many people following him. Among them were Dangxiang people, Tubo people, and even Song and Khitan people. Without exception, these people were all aiming for the official title awarded by Li Deming.
Money is not the focus, the focus is official position and title, which cannot be bought with money. Although the party is not as good as Song and Liao, it is still a hegemonic existence in the northwest.
Even if Ye An didn't tell Jiao Siluo, he knew that the price of surrendering to the Song Dynasty was to face the anger of the Dangxiang people, and Qingtang and Dangxiang were still separated by Ganliang and Hehuang.
The two prefectures of Ganliang and Hehuang in the Song Dynasty formed a barrier that perfectly separated Qingtang and Dangxiang. Now in Jiao Siluo's view, even if Li Deming wanted to attack Qingtang, he would have to pass through the territory of the Song Dynasty. In this way Once he arrived, he was as stable as Mount Tai.
With Ye An's character, he would never allow the party members to cross the Song Dynasty to attack Qingtang. The only thing he had to worry about was the threat from Ye An.
Helplessly letting out a bitter smile, looking at the knights getting further and further away, Jiao Siluo said to Luo Gan, his most loyal servant: "Who would have thought that our biggest support in Qingtang is also our biggest threat!"
Luo Gan didn't understand Jiao Siluo's words, he just felt that these murderous Song people had finally left. Recalling the sense of oppression that young man had brought to him, Luo Gan couldn't help but licked his dry lips: "Master, that young man The Marquis is too scary, standing there is like a snowy mountain, making me breathless!"
"Yes! This Yunzhong Junhou is our biggest enemy Qingtang. What he did in Zongge City is to weaken the power of our Qingtang and to demonstrate against our Qingtang. The high Jingguan is It’s telling us that whoever dares to resist will face the consequences!”
"Master, since this is Ye An's trick, let's just ignore it."
Luo Gan expressed his opinion, but Jiao Siluo sneered: "Ignore it? Even if the emperor of Song Dynasty is angry, we may not necessarily need to pay attention to it in the northwest. Due to many factors, the Zhao Guan family may not be able to deal with it temporarily.
He was angry and marched west to Qingtang, but Ye An is different. He is in the northwest, and he is even more interested in promoting Ganliang. If you ignore his threats, the end will be extremely ugly. This person's ambition is not in the northwest!"
Luo Gan didn't understand what Jiao Siluo said, but he knew that his master was an extremely smart being. Since his master said that Ye An was not simple, he must be powerful.
Jiao Siluo stopped talking. He only wanted to return to Qingtang as soon as possible. Before they left, Ye An had told him that Li Deming wanted his head. In the Song Dynasty, he had Ye An to protect him, but if he left Ye An, his life would be at stake.
I'm afraid it won't be safe.
Jiao Siluo never dared to underestimate Dang Xiang, and the reason why he defected to the Song Dynasty was just to use him to fight against Dang Xiang.
Li Deming would probably be very angry. Wen Buqi had promised him originally, claiming that Qingtang would join hands with Dangxiang to fight against the Song Dynasty, but he completely overturned Wen Buqi's original promise.
All those in power in the northwest understand that a strong counterattack can deter everyone when facing betrayal, otherwise there will be more and more betrayers.
The horned servant rushed back to Qingtang, but as soon as he arrived in Qingtang, he quickly discovered the changes here.
When the Tubo people saw Zanpu's hat and crown, they gathered around him and cried out about the Song people's ruthlessness. Only then did Jiao Siluo know that Ye An had stopped all the markets and markets in Qingtang when he was in Tokyo, and cut off
all dealings.
All the Puhui merchants also evacuated Qingtang. No matter how high the price was to retain Qingtang, Tubo did not hesitate at all. Obviously this was Ye An's "punishment" to Qingtang, or a punishment for his betrayal.
Grain, ironware, cotton and woolen fabrics, and tea leaves are disappearing rapidly. Ironware and cotton wool are better. These things can be stored. Even if they are gone, you can find replacements, but grain and tealeaves are consumed.
soon.
Song people no longer purchased cattle, sheep and horses, so prices continued to fall, and no one was even willing to spend money to buy them. Although Qingtang was protected by the Song Dynasty, it was also surrounded by the land of the Song Dynasty.
If Ye An wanted to cut off Qingtang's goods, it would be really difficult for Qingtang to obtain goods from the Song Dynasty. This is what Jiao Siluo regrets the most.
He had always felt that Ye An would not show off his face, let alone have trouble with money. Didn't the Han people have a saying that "talking about business in business"? Why could he, Ye An, be so decisive and determined not to deal with Qing Dynasty without any scruples?
Doing business in Tang?
Little did Jiao Siluo know that Ye An not only wanted to cut off contact with Qingtang, but was also trying every means to subvert his rule.
It is undoubtedly a subversive blow to let the people of Qingtang, who have been accustomed to the products of the Song Dynasty, return to the hard days again. It is easy to live a good life, and it is not difficult to live a hard life, but if a person who is used to hardship is
If a person who lives a good life has lived a good life for a period of time, and then lets him live a hard life, he will not be able to bear it at all.
Regarding the manipulation of people's hearts, Ye An got a lot of inspiration from Qin Mumu, so he was able to let go of Jiao Siluo without any scruples and let Cao Yi's army stationed in Zongge City.
And he himself returned to Ganliang with the Xilie Army and the Huaiyuan Army. During this period, the Dangxiang people would not stop. The attachment of Jiao Siluo had made Dangxiang stand on the edge of the cliff. Once the Song Dynasty completely captured
Qingtang, that party will have no chance of winning...
At present, it is an unprecedented crisis for both Dangxiang and Qingtang, but Ye An leads Ganliang and the northwest land of the Song Dynasty to the "decisive point".
