Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Lingzhou used to be a military town in the wild grasslands and deserts. The houses were low and rough, and the military and civilian clothes were worn out. `The same is true now, but a Western tour of the Central Plains emperor changed here.

The city is more lively, and there are more people wearing all kinds of strange costumes, because there are post houses of various ethnic groups and ministries, as well as exchange markets. It is no longer a forgotten city, but has been given the status of a regional center.

After the arrival of the chief governor of Pingxia Province, Zhe Dehu, the first person to meet was Tubo Tuosi Mabu.

The envoy Wo Ge brought a group of seven or eight people to the row, all of them were lamas wearing Buddhist robes and holding a staff. Brother Wo asked the Han officials who led them: "Why did the governor choose us (the second interview) when he was in contact with many tribes?"

The official said neither humble nor arrogant: "As the noble envoy knows, the people who stay at the Lingzhou Post are not important people of all races, but the noble envoy is different. You are a nobleman from Tusima, who just came here from your own land."

Brother Wo heard that there was respect in the words, which was very useful, and immediately said: "The Tubo people have many horses, but we will walk to Lingzhou. What do you know?"

The official said: "I would like to hear the details."

Wo Ge said, "Because I am not only a Tubo noble, but also a monk. Walking is our sincere etiquette."

The official clasped his fists and said: "The official will report this matter to the governor." He turned his head and pointed to the Langwu between the low houses. "Last time the emperor Xu was fortunate in Lingzhou, this house was once the emperor's palace. "

After listening, Brother Wo looked up and squinted at the scenery on both sides of Langwu, speechless for a long time. Very ordinary buildings, the soil on the walls has been weathered to be uneven, but Ge still thinks these houses are great.

He felt a sense of fear inexplicably. The fear is because of the unknown. Brother Wo has heard all kinds of rumors about the Emperor Da Xu and his imperial army. Some even say that those imperial guards who are loyal to the emperor have three heads and six arms, and one person can fight ten... so the party involved more than 100,000 Khitan troops. Xu Jun was cut out by the few people. `Wo brother certainly does not believe in all the nonsense, but believes in the strength of Xu. In his heart, Han'er is full of cunning, hypocrisy, conspiracy, deception, does not believe in Buddhism and does whatever he wants, and has terrible martial arts that Wo brother does not understand. He can really feel the dangerous smell.

At this moment, the monk behind him said in Tubo language: "I'm afraid they are not only because of your identity, but also because of the position of our tribe. Wang Jing and his sons guarding Qinzhou, are already Da Xu's farthest force in Longyou; Lanzhou In our hands, it can threaten a lot of borders and war horse trade to the west."

Brother Wo glanced at the Han official, and was not sure whether this official understood the language of Tuosima, so he said in Tubo: "We will talk after we leave here."

The group was taken to the lobby and saw a big man sitting on the public seat above. Brother Wo couldn't help but look twice, because the man was wearing uniform and armor, and the iron helmet was placed on the table above. The master's dress itself carried a certain signal.

"The chief governor, the envoy from Tusi Ma is here." The civil official said with a fist.

Brother Wo and others put their hands together in salute.

Zhe Demei and Yan Yue said: "Your envoy does not need to be polite. If the Lingzhou government has any negligence in reception, I hope to forgive me."

Brother Wo smiled and said: "I hope that all ethnic groups in the Northwest Mutual City can abide by the etiquette like the Daxu government."

...Zhe Demei tasted this sentence with great interest, sitting on it with his legs spread out, and finally replied: "Unfortunately, this is not the case. The court is very dissatisfied with the situation in the northwest."

"Oh?" Wo Ge raised his head. The atmosphere of courtesy gradually changed, and the expressions of the lamas also changed.

Zhe Dexin said: "His Majesty the Emperor once visited the northwest and ordered the ministries to live together in harmony. Everyone agreed. But now, many of our commercial roads are repeatedly taxed, and the tolls are even higher than the price of the horse itself. There is also the danger of being looted on the road."

Brother Wo spread out his hand and said helplessly: "As the governor of the general capital knows, our ministry has no checkpoints, and there is no way to set up barriers. The trade route does not go through the territories of the various ministries of Tuosima. `What can we do for the court?"

Zhe Demei leaned forward. It seemed that this would make his mouth closer to the Tubo people. He calmly said: "The court hopes Tuosima can stand on our side... Give Lanzhou City to Da Xu's jurisdiction. Your warriors on horseback fought side by side with many warriors."

There was silence in the lobby, and after talking for so long, the chief governor of many dynasties finally spoke frankly and openly about important points. Everyone looked at the Tibetan envoy, waiting for his attitude.

At this moment, Brother Wo said in a calm tone: "The request made by the chief governor, our ministry will not only cede the land, but also work for a lot, then...what can we get?"

People looked sideways, the hall was dead silent, and the breath suddenly became tense.

At first, everyone was courteous, and the host was happy, but when it came to the actual benefits, it immediately changed.

Zhe Dexuan did not reply yet, and the Tibetan messenger suppressed his emotions and added: "At the beginning, the Xiazhou party members also formed an alliance with Daxu in Lingzhou. In less than a year, Pingxia has now become a Daxu province."

After hearing this, Zhe Demei's face was blue and white, and he said coldly: "Li Yiyin is different. He was originally a minister of the great Xu, but he resisted the decree and colluded with the enemy country to treason|country!"

The Tubo finally endured it and did not refute the ridicule.

Zhe Dexuan also exhaled, and said slowly, "The court officials, like my lord, also hope that the northwest can be peaceful and peaceful. That's why they'discussed' with the Tuosi Ma envoy and we form an alliance. Otherwise, if you let Long On the right, Hexi has become a lot of land, why do we have to pay taxes, why should we be merciful to those bandits?"

"Are you threatening our ministry?" the Tibetan envoy said solemnly.

Zhe Demei said nonchalantly: "Here is a benevolent Mingjun. Besides, if you want to persecute, you shouldn't get rid of Si Mabe first. You and Da Xu are more harmonious."

He is in control of the breath in the lobby, and he has taken a good measure of his words.

The Tubo people seem to be reluctant to offend Zhe Demei completely, and now they said: "Of course we respect the emperor Da Xu's prestige and agree with Da Xu Guowei; but if we behave weakly to be deceived, we are not just giving away a Lanzhou city. In the near future, Dangxiang and Huihu will threaten us to send more things."

Zhe De said coldly: "You can decide the choice for the tribes of Tubo, don't you want to stand on Da Xu's side?"

The Tubo people put their hands together and said: "The Governor misunderstood what I meant. Please tell me that the Tusima tribes are not willing to be enemies with Da Xu, and they dare not follow their advice, just to protect themselves. If other tribes also agree to stand. On the side of the court', Tuosimading will not become an enemy of the court."

Zhe Dehan nodded, and understood the attitude of the Tubo tribe in Longyou. He was watching the fire from the other side, and watching the situation and wind. But this is not the worst situation, it is better than a mind to resist many forces.

Just when Zhe Dehuan was about to appease the Tubo envoy, the Tubo suddenly said: "By the way, I don't know if the chief governor already knows that Li Yiyin, the former leader of the Pingxia Dangxiang, seems to be in Hexi."

Zhe Demei suddenly looked surprised, and blurted out: "Didn't he escape to the northern grassland?"

The Tubo people said calmly: "All the tribes in the northern grassland are under the orders of the Daliao. If Li Yiyin can succeed, Daliao will definitely support him. It is no longer necessary for him to stay in the north. It is said that he arrived in Longyou not long ago and was sheltered by a party tribe; now He is currently conspiring to marry the Uighurs in Ganzhou, hoping to win the help of the Uighurs in Hexi."

Zhe Demei immediately became angry: "The Longyou Dangxiang tribe has surrendered, and the tribes have sworn to obey the orders of the Xiazhou Metropolitan Government. Now they dare to shield the rebels brazenly!"

Tubo Humanity: "Oaths are useless. Party members are not religious and their Dharma is wrong. In addition, Li Yiyin's daughter is still a concubine, and the court does not seem to say that he is a criminal."

This Tubo didn't know much about Da Xu, and Zhe Demei couldn't explain it. Can't he always say that he is afraid that the center will suspect his origin? Therefore, he can only say: "But he betrayed the emperor, and the soldiers were facing each other. What he did was factual. Although the court did not condemn him, he did not show that he forgave his sins. Therefore, Li Yiyin is still a thief."

Zhe Demei asked: "Which tribe is Li Yiyin being sheltered?"

The Tubo replied cautiously: "We are not sure, after all, the person who is more concerned about his whereabouts is not the Tubo but Han'er."

Then why did he tell the news? Sure enough, the Tubo people immediately concealed needles in Mianli: "For hundreds of years, there have been many tribes in the northwest, and the tribes that can survive in the world. It is by no means just to be soft and courteous. If there is too much persecution, let everyone With nowhere to go, Li Yiyin will most likely have the opportunity to bring together many tribes. Everyone may take the risk and try to resist the threats that scare them. I hope most of them will think twice."

Zhe Demei showed a strange red face, and sneered, "Thank you for your advice."

The Tubo people said: "Dax is the most powerful country in the world, and even the northwestern regions believe that Dash is stronger than Daliao. However, the northwest is very large and the road is far away."

He paused and said, "Perhaps, we should deal with these things more calmly... What is Fang Wei's wise move~www.readwn.com~ What do you think?"

After listening to Zhede, he waved his hand, maintaining his tolerance and said: "I hope that there will be another time, the guild can talk to your envoy."

"Farewell." The Tubo left the lobby with a salute.

The scribes by his side quickly said solemnly: "The news that Li Yiyin is in Longyou has not been confirmed. We have to send someone to find out as soon as possible."

Zhe Demei pondered for a moment and said: "What should be done right now is to play the court, regardless of whether the Tubo news is reliable."

"What Zhegong said is extremely true." The two looked at each other at the same time, and suddenly there was a tacit look in each other's eyes. The scribe clasped his fist and said, "Now, please let Zhegong draft memorials."

Zhe Dehuan put his hand on his chin, rubbing his hard beard, and nodding slightly.

The scribe clearly understood Zhe Dehui, but he didn't admit it, but he agreed with the scribe in his heart: Try to avoid getting involved with party members, and avoid being jealous and rejected by some people in Tokyo.
