Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 373 Foresight
"Defend the territory of Tubo and resist bandits in the Central Plains."

These decades have passed, and Wen Chengbu really regards Longyou Hehuang as their Tubo territory.

This slogan was shouted loudly, Wen Chengbu didn't know how many people might come.

It's just that he clearly knows that it is impossible for the clan alone to resist the powerful soldiers of the Central Plains, and he must gather all the forces of Longyou and Hehuang to have a chance of survival.

Time passed minute by minute, and Wen Chengbu was exhausted from waiting.

Except for some closely related younger brothers who responded, everyone else chose to hide away and ignore it.

"Under this overwhelmed nest, how can there be any eggs. Really think that Luo Youdu is so laborious and mobilizing, just for a few of us? Stupid, confused..."

Wen Chengbu was so angry that he flew into a rage, cursing all the tribal leaders for being short-sighted.

At this critical moment, his main reasoning is one after another, but he doesn't think how he can let those small and medium-sized tribes who have been bullied obey him?
Thinking about the strength in his hands, and thinking about the burly and majestic army in the Central Plains upstairs in Bianjing City, Wen Chengbu only had one thought in his mind, "It's over, there is such a disparity, how can we fight?"

Wen Chengbu's son-in-law Zong Zhenglian said timidly at this time: "Why don't you ask Liangzhou for help?"

Wen Chengbu's complexion changed, and he was about to get angry. Thinking of the current situation, he sighed, "Well, it's this time, so why bother with face. You can write to my brother for help..."

Wen Chengbu's Zongge family is not a native Hehuang tyrant, but an outsider who migrated from Liangzhou.

The Zongge family was originally a powerful force in Liangzhou, but because Wen Chengbu and his elder brother Wen Chengshuo had a strong disagreement over the issue of supporting and arresting Jiashi.

In a fit of anger, Wen Chengbu divided half of the tribe and moved towards Qingtanghehuang.

In history, Xixia captured Liangzhou, and the remnants of Liangzhou retreated to Hehuang to develop through the relationship of the Zongge clan, forming the Qingtang Jisiluo Kingdom.

Now the situation has changed drastically. The Zongge clan in Hehuang turned to Liangzhou for help.

The Central Plains sent troops to Longyou and Hehuang, which caused an uproar in the Northwest.

The biggest reaction was not the capture of Jiashi in Liangzhou, but Jing Qiong from the Uighurs in Ganzhou.

Jingqiong is the Chinese name of the Uighur leader in Ganzhou.

As a Uyghur Khan, Jing Qiong gave himself a Chinese name early on, and lived in the world with a Chinese name.

It can be seen that he understands and respects Han culture.

The same is true, Jing Qiong respected the Central Plains more and more, and sent envoys over and over again to pay tribute to jade, amber, marten and other square objects.

This time, Jing Qiong, as one of the Northwest powerhouses, insisted on reopening the commercial roads. He made great efforts and made indelible contributions to the smoothness of the commercial roads.

Jing Qiong asked Zhang Wenwu to discuss the matter with a solemn expression.

His minister Zhao Dang swore: "Wen Chengbu is too greedy. We merchants from Ganzhou who pass through Zongge City are so harsh. We should be rewarded."

What you say, what I say, most of them don't have much opinion on the Central Plains' invasion of the Longyou and Hehuang lands, and they have nothing to do with themselves.

It's just that he has an instinctive aversion to Wen Chengbu's greed.

Influenced by Jing Qiong's respect for the Central Plains, she was more or less gloating.

Jing Qiong said surprisingly: "I intend to join forces with Zhebu Jiashi and send troops to Hehuang to help Wen Chengbu."

Zhao Dangyan's expression changed drastically, and he shouted: "Khan can't, this is the way to seek death. How strong is the Central Plains army? Be an enemy, and you will perish yourself."

Jing Qiong said with a grim face: "If you don't make enemies with it, you won't perish? You must know that Ganzhou is also the hometown of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Today, the Central Plains sent troops to Longyou Hehuang. In the future, the soldiers will be targeting Liangzhou and Ganzhou. "

It is because of the respect for the Central Plains culture that Jing Qiong's latent hostility and awe grow deeper.

He made good friends with the Central Plains, and tried his best to promote the East-West trade route. The main purpose was to establish a deep relationship of interests with each other, so as to prevent military disasters from expanding westward.

At least until the north and south of the Central Plains are unified, don't spread the military disaster and give them a chance to breathe.

I don't want the Central Plains to send troops to Longyou...

After this Longyou is Liangzhou, and after Liangzhou is Ganzhou, it is swallowed up step by step, and there is no strength that can resist it.

It must be connected together, and the Central Plains must know how much the Western Expedition will cost.

Only in this way can they have a chance to breathe.

As the Khan of the Uighurs in Ganzhou, Jing Qiong looked farther.

Upon hearing the words, Zhao Dang's expression also changed drastically.

His ancestors were also Han Chinese left in the northwest, and after several generations of reproduction, the blood has long been mixed.

But deep in my memory, I remember that my grandfather often said before he died: the emperor of the Central Plains will recover the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and I only regret that I can't see that day.

Although they are outsiders, they have regarded Ganzhou as their home after a hundred years.

Regardless of whether he is the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties, this is the homeland of their Uighurs.

Zhao Dang vowed to volunteer and said: "Let the subordinates go to Liangzhou as an envoy! I believe that the various departments in Liangzhou will not ignore this situation..."

After all, Longyou Hehuang is gone, and Liangzhou is next.

Under the hall, Ge Zhudan said: "If we send troops to Hehuang, what will happen to the Guiyi Army? The Guiyi Army has always been canonized by the Central Plains. If the emperor of the Central Plains asks the Guiyi Army to send troops to Ganzhou, what will we do?"

Jing Qiong said: "Ge Haoshuai is right. Master An, let Cao Yanjing persuade Cao Yuanzhong on your mission to Guazhou. No matter what, you can't let the Guiyi army add chaos at this time. I believe that Cao Yuanzhong will not I can't see that if the Central Plains' hand is really extended to the west, the Cao family will not be happy. Everyone knows what happened to Zhang Yichao back then. Can they be more remarkable than Zhang Yichao?"

Monk An Wenhu clasped his hands together to accept the order.

Just when Jing Qiong set the tone for sending troops, a piece of news from Liangzhou came:

Central Plains Hexi Jiedu envoy Li Chuyun joined forces with the Long, Kanu, and Minuo clans, plus more than a dozen large and small tribes, stationed in Wuwei City, Liangzhou overnight. They occupied Wuwei and were fighting against the capture of Jiashi.

Looking at the news in her hand, Jing Qiong sat down on the stool, her face was pale, her eyes were dull, and there was only one thought in her mind: it's over, everything is over...

The Seven Departments of Liangzhou were in civil strife at this time, and it was doomed that it was impossible to send troops to Hehuang with them.

They had already risked being attacked by the Guiyi army when they sent troops to Hehuang, and now even Liangzhou was unstable, sending troops by force was no different from courting death.

What's more, it is definitely not a coincidence that Li Chuyun instigates the rebellion of Liangzhou's nobles at this moment...

He must have plans to echo Longyou Hehuang.

The other party not only wanted Hehuang Longyou, but also took a fancy to Liangzhou.

Jing Qiong suddenly thought of a possibility. Perhaps the emperor of Central Plains had never trusted them from the very beginning, and the risk of arranging Li Chuyun to come to Liangzhou was to cause trouble for them and prevent them from joining forces to resist.

A coolness surged up.

Jing Qiong suddenly got up, looked at Wen Wu in front of him, and said solemnly: "Nothing happened today, we have never discussed anything. Who dares to spread a word about today's matter, don't blame Ben Khan for his cruel methods."

His eyes were full of murderous intent.

At this point, there is nothing left to do.

Although Wuwei City has been in disrepair for a long time, it was also a famous fortified city in the early years, second only to the existence of Chang'an and Luoyang.

Li Chuyun defended the city, God knows if he will be able to defeat him.

Liangzhou dragged on for a few months, and the power of the Central Plains was likely to knock down Hehuang.

At that time, the elites of the Central Plains will enter Liangzhou, directly enter Wuwei City, and cut off the disobedient tribes one by one according to the city.

Unless the Tubo tribes in Hehuang, Longyou can defeat the Central Plains, the event will be settled.

If it is mixed in at this time, it is tantamount to giving the Central Plains an excuse to send troops.

Jing Qiong still has a certain understanding of Liangzhou and Hehuang, where there are thousands of tribes, large and small.

It will take at least three to five years for the Central Plains to subdue these Tibetan tribes one by one.

In the short term, it should not expand to the Ganzhou area, as long as I don't die...

**********
Liangzhou Wuwei City!
Li Chuyun gathered the two hundred Wu Desi who had sneaked into Liangzhou to serve as his personal guards.

He personally commanded the three tribes of Zhelong, Kegu, and Minuo to repair Wuwei City on the tower.

Most of the tribes in Liangzhou make a living by grazing and live with aquatic plants.

Therefore, no attention is paid to Wuwei City, and there is no daily maintenance and repair.

In the past six months, apart from making use of the prospect of commercial routes to provoke conflicts and frictions among the tribes of Liangzhou, Li Chuyun just wandered around, keeping the entire city defense situation of Wuwei City in mind.

Wu Desi even asked Wu Desi to prepare any materials needed.

With the opening of the trade route, many materials and goods have to pass through Liangzhou for rest.

As long as it is not particularly conspicuous military supplies such as armor, all kinds of stone and wood will not arouse suspicion.

After the incident, Li Chuyun immediately summoned the people in the city to repair the omissions overnight.

After Zhezhu Jiashi reacted, what appeared in front of him was already a city with basic defense capabilities.

Pan Luozhi galloped to Zheyu Jiashi's side, and said angrily, "Who repaired the west of Wuwei City?"

When Zhezhu Jiashi heard this, his face turned blue and white, and he slapped himself directly.

Wuwei City has been in disrepair for a long time, and there are even some traces left by the old battlefield more than 30 years ago. A city wall in the west of Wuwei City directly cracked and collapsed.

As long as you walk over the gravel, you can easily enter the city.

This Wuwei city was originally free to enter and exit, but now that the commercial roads have been opened, merchants have to pay taxes when entering and leaving the city.Many people entered the city through the cracked city wall to evade taxes.

Zhejia Jiashi was furious when he learned of this, and asked someone to give Li Chuyun a sum of money to repair the gap.

Thinking about it now, I feel depressed.

If he knew that Li Chuyun spread the methods of tax evasion, he would feel even more uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Pan Luozhi also understood the reason, gritted his teeth and said, "The other party is well prepared. Look, chief, they even assembled a ballista. The longer you wait, the worse it will be."

Zhejia Jiashi also knew this, looked angrily at the soldiers who were repairing the city defense, and said: "We can only attack by force..."

He glanced at the soldiers behind him and shouted: "Brothers, the city is full of ruthless Han people. They have robbed our city. Now there are countless wealth in it. On the day of breaking the city, allow You looted for three days and killed all the Han dogs..."

　Thank you Shuyou Suifeng Wanda for the two hundred rewards, thank you for your support!
