Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 402
"Running south?"

Stone Castle?
Li Qianpu reacted instantly, pulled Helian Pingjiang excitedly, and asked, "How many of them are there?"

Helian Pingjiang said: "According to the news from the city, it was just a quarter of an hour ago. There were not many people, only more than [-] people, but they brought a lot of boxes, which are probably the treasures accumulated over the years."

Li Qianpu rubbed his hands a little excitedly, and asked, "Can you let your uncle bring some people into Wen Chengbu's team."

Helian Pingjiang frowned and said: "You can try it, you don't know if it will succeed or not. Ever since my Helian family surrendered to the imperial court, Wen Chengbu has been wary of everyone in the city. Uncle Shi It's also among his suspicions."

Li Qianpu's strategy for Hehuang did not start when he got the military order to go out. When he was ordered to guard Weizhou, he had already begun to plan the details.

It is true that opportunities are given to those who are prepared.

Li Qianpu not only recruited Tubo refugees to return to Han with benevolent policies, but also made friends with businessmen in Hehuang, Longyou.

If the caravans of Longyou and Hehuang want to trade in Luoyang, Weizhou is the only way to go.

As the governor of Weizhou, Li Qianpu gave great convenience to the businessmen who came and went, so many businessmen liked to rest in Weizhou.

In addition to driving Weizhou's economy, Li Qianpu also met many Western businessmen because of this.

Among them was He Lianrong, a great merchant in Miaochuan City, with whom he established a friendship.

When Li Qianpu went to Lanzhou, he immediately wrote a letter to He Lianrong, asking him to submit to the Central Plains.

He Lianrong likes to do business and is good at doing business, but half of his business income will be collected by Wen Chengbu.

There was nothing He Lianrong could do about it, after all, he had to spend money to get rid of the disaster when he was under someone else's hands.

In his letter, Li Qianpu described the trade situation in the Central Plains in detail. As long as the merchants paid taxes truthfully, all the profits would belong to the merchants themselves.As long as one of the tenth income is used to build bridges and roads to benefit the people, you can be praised by the people and local officials.

Before the middle Tang Dynasty, the status of merchants was low, but with the advent of troubled times, after the end of Tang Dynasty, the children of merchants could take the imperial examination normally, and the status of merchants has been improved.

Compared to doing business under Wen Chengbu, it is better to switch to the Central Plains and do it yourself.

Li Qianpu also described the prospect of doing business in Hehuang in the letter.

The governance of Longyou and Liangzhou in the Central Plains will inevitably remove the tribalization of Tubo and change nomadic farming into farming and business.

Longyou and Liangzhou are connected to the Western Regions and the Central Plains, and the prospects for businessmen are bound to be limitless.

And as a reward for helping, he can help introduce tea merchants and porcelain merchants.

With this lure, He Lianrong was so happy that he almost fainted, and immediately chose to stand in the Central Plains.

Provided a lot of information for Li Qianpu, which is also the reason for Li Qianpu's ingenious calculation.

He Lianrong has been in business for many years, and has considerable influence in Miaochuan City, and has also attracted some people to the Central Plains.

However, since Kang Yanze lured him to surrender to Hezhou, Wen Chengbu guarded against the inner ghosts from stealing the city, and never gave those in the city who were in the enemy's camp a chance.

But when Wen Chengbu ran away, someone from them immediately sent a message.

Wen Chengbu rushed south with 800 people overnight.

Ban Zhaxi said beside him: "Boss, let's go directly south, pass Shibao City, and enter Qinghai Lake. When we arrive at Qinghai Lake, we won't be afraid of the soldiers from the Central Plains chasing us."

Wen Chengbu didn't speak, but noticed something strange.

Banzahi's performance is too suspicious.

When he left Miaochuan City, Wen Chengbu also regarded Ban Zhaxi as his confidant and wanted to share the wealth with him.

But along the way, Ban Zhaxi kept instigating him to go to Shibao City.

This inevitably aroused Wen Chengbu's suspicion.

Stone Castle is in the hands of a Tubo nobleman named Enlan Yunkai, who is a descendant of the Tubo hero Enlan Dazha Lugong.

When there was no chaos in Tubo, Enlan Yunkai's grandfather was ordered by Tubo Zanpu to guard the important Shibao City.

Later, Tubo fell into long-term chaos. The nobles on the plateau went their own way, and the royal family did not dare to praise Pu for fear of being attacked by a group.

As a result, there was a situation in Tubo where the dragons had no leader, and all the places were doing their own thing, attacking each other, and making a mess.

Stone Castle City also became the inherent territory of the Enlan clan, passed down from generation to generation, and passed down to Enlan Yunkai.

Enlan Yunkai is greedy and unruly, relying on the strength of Stone Fortress, he doesn't pay attention to the people around him at all, and he doesn't have the heroic spirit of his ancestor Da Zha Lugong.

No matter who it is, if they want to pass through Stone Castle City, they must leave a huge amount of money to buy roads, no matter who it is.

He is not afraid of offending people, Shibao City is a rare natural fortress in the world.

Even if ten times as many soldiers come to fight, they have to look at the fort and sigh.

Enlan Yunkai is notorious in Hehuang and Qinghai Lake, and he is a shit stirrer who hates dogs.

I have hundreds of people carrying dozens of boxes of wealth, passing through a greedy territory, what is the difference between this and meat buns beating dogs?

Wen Chengbu did not respond, but said: "Enter Chiling first, then talk about other things."

Compared with passing through Shibao City, Wen Chengbu prefers to go south along Chiling, and it is safer to detour from Kuozhou to the old place of Tuyuhun.

All the way south, Wen Chengbu discovered that a Central Plains army was chasing nearby. They kept appearing in the southeast direction, forcing Wen Chengbu to march towards Shibao City.

"Big Chief?"

A group of soldiers fleeing in a hurry appeared in front of Wen Chengbu.

More than two hundred soldiers who were in a panic got off their horses and saluted one after another.

Wen Chengbu squinted at the Tuyuhun man named Jin Zhuoshan in front of him, and asked, "Jin Baihu, why are you here?"

The tribes of Tubo followed the military system of Tubo.

Going to the big ones, the court halls are Wuru, Yueru, Yeru, Rula, and Supiru, and there are ten thousand, thousand, hundred, and ten households in the local area.

Jin Zhuoshan is the head of a hundred households under his command.

Jin Zhuoshan was a little ashamed, and said: "The bandits from the Central Plains entered the city, and the subordinates fought to the death. However, there were many enemies, and they were really lost, so they ran all the way south. I wanted to go back to the old place of Yuhun, but in the end, a cavalry from the Central Plains chased my subordinates for a whole day. All night, they held on tight. They seemed to have seen through their subordinates’ intention to go to Kuozhou, and ran to the front to intercept them. There was really no other way, but to see if they could return to the valley from Shibao City.”

He is a centurion, and there are 200 people left in the deadly battle...

Don't blush when you tell a lie.

Wen Chengbu frowned and said, "So, you attracted the Central Plains soldiers in the southwest?"

Jin Zhuoshan said: "It should be!"

Wen Chengbu looked at Jin Zhuoshan.

Ban Zhaxi asked doubtfully, "Boss, is there any fraud?"

Wen Chengbu smiled and said, "How come? Jin Baihu is my most trusted subordinate." He said, "Jin Baihu, come with me to Shibao City. Hehuang thought that the Central Plains belonged, and there was no place for us to stand. The only way to survive is to pass through Stone Castle City."

Jin Zhuoshan was overjoyed and said loudly: "This subordinate is willing to follow the chief."

Wen Chengbu didn't even think about going around Chiling, he went from Kuozhou to the hometown of Tuyuhun, and led more than a thousand people straight to Shibao City.

　Thank you book friends for the hundred rewards of happy villains!
