Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 372
The reactions of the four major families and tribes in Longyou and Hehuang soon reached Luo Youdu's hands.

Without exception, all are ignored.

Luo Youdu hugged Chou Chou contentedly, and said to the little guy dancing in the sky: "Son, remember. What is convincing people with virtue? It is to use your fists to show your virtue. Conquer those who refuse to obey!" It is to convince people with virtue!"

Fu Qing'er couldn't help laughing, and said: "What kind of nonsense is this!"

Luo Youdu said: "This is the principle of governing a country... I don't understand women's morality!"

"Yes yes yes!" Fu Qing'er responded perfunctorily: "I don't understand, Your Majesty is amazing."

Seeing Luo Youdu having fun with Chouchou, she quietly watched from the sidelines.

Luo Youdu put Chouchou on his neck, and made the sound of flying an airplane, until he was tired from playing, and then lay down unruly at the side, panting heavily.

Fu Qing'er couldn't help but said: "Don't let the admonisher look at His Majesty like this, or even the concubine will be impeached together."

"Who dares?"

Luo Youdu stared: "What's wrong with me playing with my son! Hmph..."

He didn't go on, he didn't let go of the ability to put on small shoes.

Fu Qing'er looked at Chou Chou who was tired and fell asleep, hugged him in the cradle, and asked, "When will the little sister of the Zhe family enter the palace?"

Luo Youdu said: "Next month! The Zhe family has chosen the date and prepared the dowry. In the end, she is the commander-in-chief, and she will have a good time. When she enters the palace, I may be busy with military affairs, and you will arrange the details of entering the palace."

Fu Qing'er heard the overtones and said: "Is there going to be a war?"

She doesn't ask about government affairs, so she doesn't understand the situation.

Luo Youdu replied: "I already have a reason, now I'm waiting for an opportunity."

He himself didn't expect this opportunity to come so quickly.

Yanhe Hall!
Luo Youdu looked at the young man kneeling in front of him, and asked, "What's your name?"

The Qiang youth wept and said: "He Lang Yexian, a grassroots man, kowtowed to the emperor of the Central Plains, and implored His Majesty the emperor to avenge you."

He Lang Yexian?

Luo Youdu tilted his head, the name was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't think of any historical deeds, and asked: "Speak out about your grievances, and I will make the decision for you."

He Lang Yexian was specially sent by Li Qianpu, the governor of Weizhou.

It is about the strategy of Hehuang in Longyou.

He Lang Yexian kowtowed and said: "The He family of Caomin Hezhou is very famous in the local area. Caomin and my father were ecstatic when they learned that His Majesty reopened the trade route. My father is about to transport the cattle and horses of the family to Luoyang. Caomin thinks that this is not a way to do business Dao. With the re-opening of commercial roads, many tribes in Longyou and Hehuang will inevitably transport their surplus cattle and sheep to Luoyang. If there are more cattle, sheep and horses, the money they get will decrease."

Luo Youdu took another look at He Lang Yexian, this analysis is really incisive from a business point of view.

With the opening of this business channel, they are the ones who make the most money.

The price of cattle, sheep and horses has dropped due to sufficient supplies, while the prices of cloth, porcelain and other goods in the Central Plains have risen due to excessive demand.

Back and forth, the Central Plains is the biggest winner.

However, many small and medium-sized tribes are also satisfied with this result. After all, Hehuang business is monopolized by the four major family tribes, and their prices in the past were even worse.

He Lang Yexian continued: "The grass people proposed to my father that they sell the cattle, sheep and horses in their hands directly to the surrounding tribes, and use the money to go to Gaochang to buy Hetian white jade, benzoin, jewelry and other rare things in the Central Plains."

Luo Youdu nodded: In principle, this set of methods can indeed maximize the benefits.

But everything is just reason.

He Lang Yexian wept and said: "My He family has always been on the business roads of the Western Regions, and we bought the goods very smoothly. All the way to the east, everything was safe and sound. When we entered Hehuang, Wen Chengbu, the leader of the clan family, sent troops directly to arrest the grass people. , Looted all the goods. My father dispatched troops to seek justice, but was attacked by Wen Chengbu, seriously injured and died. Caomin’s family of more than a thousand people were all slaughtered. Caomin escaped by luck, and I implore His Majesty the Emperor to seek justice for Caomin .”

Luo Youdu said angrily: "What a Wen Chengbu, who is obedient and deceitful, and deceives me. Don't worry, I will go out to seek justice for you. However, the situation in Longyou and Hehuang is complicated. Our army hastily dispatched troops for fear of being taken advantage of by the enemy. .”

He Lang Yexian's eyes were full of anger, he kowtowed and said: "Although my He family was destroyed by the villains, the relationship between the top and bottom is still there. I also know Longyou Hehuang well, and I am willing to guide the army of the Celestial Dynasty."

"it is good!"

Luo Youdu said: "Mr. Dou, I have drafted an edict to send troops to fight against the unrighteous thieves."

Luo Youdu didn't have the bad habit of making an appeal first and then dispatching troops.

Before his proclamation reached the front line, he had already dispatched Murong Yanzhao and Li Qianpu to dispatch troops.

His target was not Wen Chengbu, but the four major tribes in Hehuang, Longyou.

The clan, the Dang clan, the Zhangmi clan, and the Miaochuan clan.

One of the two armies took Hezhou directly, and the other took Lanzhou directly.

Before the Zhangmi clan and Dang clan could react, soldiers had already approached the city.

Hehuang Longyou instantly exploded into chaos.

Immediately, the emperor of the Central Plains angrily reprimanded the four great families for their treachery and defiance of the agreement, and flew to Hehuang Longyou overwhelmingly.

When the news reached Zongge City, Wen Chengbu was still complacent about making a fortune for himself.

Wen Chengbu didn't take Luo Youdu's edict to heart at all, the kind of kind admonishment, the chief of the clan family turned around and forgot about it.

Wen Chengbu has great ambitions and has long wanted to dominate Hehuang.

It's just that the situation in Hehuang and Longyou is too complicated, and the strength of the powerful tribes of all parties is uneven.

If you express your thoughts too early, you will become the target of public criticism, and Wen Chengbu has been holding back, waiting for the opportunity.

In order to strengthen his own power, Wen Chengbu coerced and lured the nobles and tribes near Hehuang, and merged them into the clan.

Among them, the He family in Hezhou is one of them.

The He family belonged to the party, lived in Hezhou for a long time, and was a well-known merchant family in the local area.

Wen Chengbu wooed him many times, but the He family refused for various reasons.

Wen Chengbu had already thought about cleaning up, and He Lang Yexian passed by his territory with a large amount of treasure, and took it for himself without thinking about it.

The He family dared to send troops to resist, and they happened to be wiped out together.

I don't want to cause such a disaster directly.

The Central Plains sent troops directly, completely ignoring common sense.

"Quick, quick, tell all the ministries to quickly gather troops in Zongge City. Only one place can have the strength to resist foreign enemies! Longyou and Hehuang are Tubo territories, and they must not be occupied by Central Plains bandits."

In a panic, Wen Chengbu actually remembered to hold high the Tubo banner.

You must know that the country of Tubo has long existed in name only.

Not to mention Liang, Long, and Hequ, even on the plateau, there are many princes, so that no one in Tubo has dared to praise Pu, and the upper and lower are in charge of their own affairs.

Wen Chengbu has long ignored the country of Tubo, and everything is based on the development of the clan, squeezing the surrounding small clans and tribes.

Now that the situation has changed suddenly, he even shouted: To protect the territory of Tubo...
