Ximen Qing knew that Tubo was secretly collaborating, and there was a shadow of Xixia in it. Ximen Qing was not angry at Li Qianshun's duplicitous approach. Although the two countries had concluded an agreement on armistice and reconciliation, they could only put an end to it openly. Conflicts and stabbing in the back are justifiable in diplomacy.
"Okay!" Ximen Qing looked in the direction of Xixia Xingqing Mansion and made a decision in his heart, "Since you, Li Qianshun, want to play, let's play big! It will certainly take a lot of effort for me to appease Tubo, but you Xixia also Don’t even think about staying out of it!”
You should know that after the collapse of the Tubo regime, not all the Tubo tribes who moved eastward were included in the Central Plains. Many Tubo tribes also entered the Xixia. With Liupan Mountain and Longshan as the boundaries, the residence of the Tubo tribe in the Xixia was to the east and north. , to the south and west is the residence of Tibet in the northwest.
Tubo in the Xixia Kingdom once established a powerful Liugu tribal alliance with Xiliang Prefecture as the center, and united with the Song Dynasty to attack and contain the party members who had not yet established a country at that time. It was not until the eighth year of Dazhong Xiangfu in the Song Dynasty (1 In June 2015, Xiliang Mansion was captured by Li Deming, the party leader at the time, and the Tubo Six Valley Alliance was declared destroyed.
But it was only the political power that perished. The Tubo people still lived on that land. They had suffered exploitation and oppression from Xixia for hundreds of years, just like the Tibetan people in the northwest who had suffered exploitation and oppression from the Song Dynasty. The people were filled with resentment and people's mentality changed.
Ximen Qing sent a secret envoy - the veteran general Zhong Shidao, who had many Tibetan soldiers and generals. Among them, he chose those who were brave, loyal, shrewd and fickle, and taught them strategies and became envoys. These people secretly sneaked into the Xixia border and went to Liangzhou to contact the local area. Tubo people.
Li Qianshun and Brother Cha were very close to each other. They originally wanted to instigate Tubo to rebel, but they forgot that the Tubo tribe also lived in their own land. The chaos together was like a spark that could start a prairie fire. How could Xixia be immune?
The Tubo tribes in the northwest, who were in close contact with each other, suddenly received a shocking news - the Han leader Ximen Qing, who had overthrown the Zhao and Song dynasties and killed Cai Jing, Tong Guan and other powerful traitors, issued an edict to host a grand ceremony in the northwest. The National Assembly of the People's Republic of China invited the chiefs of the Tibetan tribes to attend the meeting to discuss the establishment of the Tubo Autonomous Region, the selection of new Zampu, and the rule of Tubo by Tubo to achieve the second rejuvenation of the Tubo nation.
As soon as this news came out, all the tribes in Tubo were shocked. They have been traveling around and communicating with each other these days. Isn't it to take advantage of the new breaking of the Zhao and Song shackles that are bound to them to work together to revive Tubo? But we have to do it. At this point, according to the Xixia secret envoy, we must become the enemy of Ximen Qing, the new ruler of the Central Plains - but if the news about the Tubo Autonomous Region is true, then Ximen Qing is not only not the enemy of the Tubo tribes, but also the enemy of Tubo. Friends of all tribes!
The secret envoys of Xixia who were among the Tubo tribes panicked and spared no effort to slander that this was Ximen Qing's trick. He intended to gather the effective forces of the Tubo tribes in the name of the conference and annihilate them.
At this time, Ximen Qing also sent Tibetan soldiers under Zhongshi Dao. These Tibetan soldiers came from various tribes. Their blood is thicker than water. To achieve great things, the Tubo tribe often attracted them. Today, these Tibetan soldiers were indeed attracted by them. They came, but everyone said the same thing - to prove Ximen Qing's sincerity in establishing the Tubo Autonomous Region.
The hesitant chiefs of the Tubo tribe gathered together to discuss countermeasures. At the meeting, Ximen Qing's envoys and Xixia spies had a fierce conflict in order to achieve their respective goals. Everyone started with a war of words, and the fight was almost complete. When they met, a wise man among the Tibetan soldiers suddenly said, "Have you forgotten how Pan Luozhi died back then?"
Pan Luozhi was an outstanding leader who emerged from the Six Valleys Alliance of Tubo in Xiliang Prefecture. He represented the heyday of the Six Valleys Alliance. His murder was a turning point in the rise and fall of the Six Valleys Alliance. Pan Luozhi once defeated the party repeatedly.
Even the elders of Xixia
His ancestor Li Jiqian died in his hands. Li Jiqian's son Li Deming inherited his father's ambition and never forgot the defeat of Liangzhou, so he set up a counterintuitive plan. Among the party members, it was said that Ribuji Luodan was Li Jiqian's crony.
clan, and Liugu
The powerful Zhelong clan in the Tibetan tribe came from the same origin. Li Deming ordered the two clans to openly defect to the Zhelong clan and took the opportunity to carry out the work of disintegration within the Zhelong clan. There were thirteen clans in the Zhelong clan, and within a short period of time, there were
Liubu secretly joined the fans
Banzhi and others. Mibanzhi secretly asked Li Deming to launch an army to attack the Dragon Clan. After hearing the news, Pan Luozhi, who did not know the details, led more than a hundred cavalry to rush to the Dragon clan to discuss the attack. During the meeting, Mibanzhu asked Li Deming to attack the Dragon Clan.
The clan suddenly rose up and killed Pan Luozhi under his tent.
After the death of the leader, the Liugu Alliance collapsed. Pan Luozhi's younger brother Siduodu succeeded the tribe leader. Although he struggled to resist the invasion of Xixia, he was finally unable to recover. In June of the eighth year of Dazhong Xiangfu (1015),
Li Deming sent General Su Shouxin to conquer Xiliang Prefecture in one fell swoop. Governor Siduo defected to the leader of the Tubo tribe in Hehuang, Song Dynasty, to kill Sisiluo. The Liugu Tubo Alliance was destroyed.
Today, many of the Tibetan tribes in the northwest are descendants of the Liugu Alliance. "Pan Luozhi's death" has been mentioned again in the past, which suddenly evokes the painful memories of all Tubo people. Let's look at those Xixia Dangxiang people.
It doesn’t look pleasing to the eye—that’s right! These party dogs always have ulterior motives. If you are led by them, you will have to help them count the money after being sold!
So with a cry of coaxing, the secret envoys of Xixia who sow discord had their noses cut off and were expelled from the meeting. Once the villain was gone, the next agenda became even more exciting - the Tibetan soldiers sent by Ximen Qing recounted various deeds in Ximen Qing's life.
, all tribes in Tubo praised him as a human being, so they recommended some elders who saw things clearly and were not afraid of death to go to see Ximen Qing to explore his reality.
These veterans who crossed the river were warmly welcomed by Ximen Qing. Under Ximen Qing's warm reception, these envoys repeatedly confirmed Ximen Qing's sincerity in establishing the Tubo Autonomous Region.
The establishment of the Tubo Autonomous Region was indeed due to Ximen Qing's sincerity. From the map, the Qinfeng Road on the western border is long and narrow and is surrounded by enemies on all sides. If the ethnic relations with Tubo are intensified, then there will be enemies on all sides. Xixia will be surrounded by enemies on all sides.
If you take advantage of the situation, you won't be able to defend it anyway. If nothing else, the supply line alone is too long. Ximen Qing doesn't know how to build cars, and he doesn't have time to build roads. Logistics alone will kill him.
The Central Plains has just been pacified, and the Kingdom of Jin will come from the north to devour it. If you can't see clearly that the strategic focus is in the north and not in the west, and you are obsessed with gaining land, you will definitely lose both people and land in the future.
Therefore, Ximen Qing is willing to hand over power. Not only does he want to establish the Tubo Autonomous Region, but he also wants to establish the Chinese Federation! He wants to strive to build a four-nation federation at this ethnic assembly consisting of Liangshan in the Central Plains, Mingjiao in the south of the Yangtze River, Tubo in the northwest, and Xixia in the Dangxiang!
Even if there will be intrigues, as long as we have this big framework, many things in the future will be easier to handle.
The ideal is beautiful, but the road is tortuous. Ximen Qing doesn't know where he can go, but he only knows that he must work hard. The most important thing now is to impress these Tubo representatives with sincerity.
Sincerity can always impress people, but sincerity alone is not enough. So Ximen Qing arranged for the Tibetan elders to watch the drill of the Liangshan Mingjiao coalition - strong armored soldiers, strong bows and crossbows, stone cannons and firearms, and chain cavalry - - The expressions of all the Tibetan elders changed - Ximen Qing has such strength. If the Tubo tribal alliance openly raises troops to resist, I am afraid that there will be a river of blood and no one will be left alive!
Of course, Ximen Qing would not be easy in a real fight, but the biggest victims would still be the Tubo people.
Feeling Ximen Qing's sincerity and fearing Ximen Qing's power, the Tubo elders said goodbye. They returned to the tribe, conveyed Ximen Qing's goodwill and strength to the chiefs, and put forward their own opinions - this ethnic assembly, There is a great possibility that the declining Tubo tribe will have an opportunity to rise peacefully, so we should seize it!
The elders also conveyed Ximen Qing’s proposal that the venue for the first National Assembly should be chosen through joint discussion and decision-making by the tribal chiefs. As a result, if Ximen Qing really wanted to choose a place to set up a trap, the Tibetan people present at the meeting would be Once you kill all the leaders, it's not that easy to divide them and defeat them.
The tribal chiefs were still hesitant and continued to gather for discussion. Even the Tubo tribe in Xixia secretly sent envoys to attend the meeting after hearing the news.
When the various tribes in Tubo were discussing "whether the National Assembly is in crisis or a turning point", another guest came outside Ximen Qing's camp.
This is a man in black. He is covered from head to toe in a long cloak. He looks very mysterious. Although he looks like he has been away from home, he does not give people a feeling of embarrassment. On the contrary, because he is more than 1.8 meters tall, The huge back and waist bring a heavy sense of oppression.
The man in black came to the camp gate and didn't say anything. He just handed over a simple note with only four words written on it - "An old friend asks to see you"!
Such a person is really suspicious. He is simply a born assassin. But Ximen Qingyi is brave and the Liangshan camp is full of talents. He is not afraid of the evil spirits in the dark. Not long ago, these soldiers saw with their own eyes Passed by - a mysterious man in black followed Yan Qing in a swaggering manner, passing Xiaoqing in and out of the coach's camp. If this man today is really an old friend of Ximen Qing, then he is not something that these little soldiers can afford to neglect!
So, the soldiers guarding the camp gate reported to Ximen Qing. Ximen Qing read the calligraphy over and over for a long time - why didn't this handwriting look familiar at all? He couldn't help but feel a little discount for this so-called "old friend". .
Jiao Ting asked: "Third brother, do you see this old friend or not?"
Ximen Qing nodded, and Jiao Ting naturally arranged for guards. After a while, the soldiers brought the man in black into the tent. The man in black looked at Ximen Qing quietly and nodded slightly, but was not polite.
After waiting for a long time, Ximen Qing finally asked: "But I don't know who your old friend is?"
The man in black slowly stretched out his hand, lifted the cloak on his head, and said "Ouch", everyone in the tent jumped up - "It turns out to be you!" This is exactly:
Diligence is only for peace in the west, but hard work is to determine the south map. If you want to know who is coming, listen to the explanation in the next chapter.
