Chapter 481 Zhonge’s Strategy
Jialiang stood up and said, "When Wuzu leaves, I will be fully responsible for the secrets of Xishou, Hezhuo, and Jingsai. If the little prince agrees to surrender to Xia, the conditions Wuzu will give are that his wife will be the daughter of the clan and she will be granted the title of Prince Consort.
, Xincheng, Xicheng City, was promoted to protect the Thai Army, and the little prince took office as the commander-in-chief and was ordered to guard it. "
Mu Zheng sighed: "This offer is hard to refuse... Mr. Jia, I am very curious, you are from the Song Dynasty, why are you so loyal and dedicated to Daxia? What does it feel like to serve another country and fight against your compatriots?"
?”
Jia Liang said with a smile: "Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Because of my background, my Liang was a person who lived in the mud in the Song Dynasty. So I just want to prove that I am no worse than your Yixi Weishe. Little prince, are you?
Don’t you want to prove that you are no worse than your uncle? Do we still have the right to be picky? If we can’t survive under the hands of our compatriots, can’t we have other options but to let others carry the banner of righteousness and let us wait and see?
Kill?"
Mu Zheng stood up in confusion: "I am determined to join Daxia. From now on, I will serve as a minister in the same palace as Mr. Jia. I hope that Mr. Jia will support me!"
Jialiang held Mu Zheng's arm and laughed loudly: "That's right! Then let those who look down on us see what it means to be in Hedong in thirty years and in Hexi in thirty years!"
Yanzhou, Qingjian City.
In the Weizhou battle, Zhonge's performance was actually quite impressive, but after Suyou's big firecracker went off, it was somewhat overshadowed here.
The focus of the Zhong family has always been on Hengshan, while Suyou's strategy is centered on Weizhou and the Qing and Tang Dynasties pay equal attention to Hengshan. Correspondingly, in terms of resource allocation, the traditional sphere of influence of the Zhong family has been diluted.
Although this thinning is in proportion rather than quantity, although the business exchanges between Weizhou and Yanzhou are quite frequent nowadays, and the income from Yanzhou's kerosene makes the family's industry in Yanzhou very profitable, but because this business is provided by Su You
, Zhong E felt a thorn in his heart.
A Sichuan rat, who has been in Shaanxi for two years, has a higher reputation than the Zhong family. Why?! The Hengshan strategy planned by two generations of Zhong family will be changed because of a child?! The great achievement of conquering Xixia changed hands in one sentence?
!
So a few months ago, Zhonge accelerated his big plan.
In the Battle of Weizhou, not only the Xixia Party members were lost, but also many Tibetan people were lost in the Hengshan Barbarian War.
Hengshan has always been an important area for the Xia people to mobilize troops to fight against the Song Dynasty. They used to follow the Xia people in burning, killing and looting in the Song Dynasty. Because they never lost, the Tibetan people never tired of it.
The Battle of Weizhou made the Hengshan people truly know what pain is.
Dissatisfaction with Xixia was growing day by day, and coupled with the temptation of Song Dynasty goods in Weizhou, many Hengshan tribes were willing to defect to Song Dynasty.
Zhonge began to seize the opportunity to instigate rebellion against the Tibetan tribe that originally belonged to Xixia.
Zhu Lingling's return to the Song Dynasty was one of the great achievements.
However, Lu Shen, the commander-in-chief of Yanzhou, was afraid of trouble and did not intend to accept him. Instead, he argued with reason and allowed Zhu Linling to join the whole clan.
However, trouble came as expected. The Xixia people sent envoys, demanding that Zhonge abide by the treaty between the two countries years ago and hand over Zhu Linling.
Lu Shen was scared to death and desperately ordered Zhonge to calm the situation and restore it to its original state.
Zhong E replied with a firm sentence: "If you want someone, let's exchange it for Jing Xun, a Song Dynasty native who defected to Xia Kingdom!"
Afterwards, Zhong E wrote a secret letter to Zhao Xu. Soon, Zhu Lingling's reward came, including ten hectares of land and a house, and Lu Shen had nothing to say.
Looking at the official document from Yanzhou requesting silence with disgust, Zhong E slammed the cup to the ground: "Brother is lucky! Why do I let such a cowardless person do it!"
Lieutenant General Yanda came in and was frightened by the flying porcelain pieces: "Oh, Wulang, what's going on? Yishan is here, do you want to see him?"
Zhong E put away the official documents and stood up to go out of the tent: "Of course I want to see you!"
When he came outside the tent, his face changed, and he smiled brightly: "Oh, my brother Yishan, hahahaha, long time no see, what goods did you bring this time?"
Although Yishan is from Xia, he obviously has a deep friendship with Zhonge. He hugged him warmly and then said: "Qingyan, cows, horses, and sheep! The sheep this time are all good! The tails are big and beautiful."
Fat! My fifth brother, shall I take you to have a look?"
Zhong E smiled and said: "Yanda, Liu Fu! Bring the grill and new seasonings sent by the eldest brother, let's go to Brother Yishan and give him a good meal!"
Yishan was so happy: "There is also wine, your Yongchun Dew, you must bring it!"
In the Yi people's caravan, the fat sheep was being roasted until it was squeaking with oil. Zhong'e was holding a lamb chop in one hand while drinking wine from Yi Shan.
While the wine was in full swing, Zhong E seemed to suddenly remember something: "Brother Yishan, what are you going to exchange for this time?"
Yishan said: "Tea, I want the big-leaf black tea bricks with a strong flavor; silk, leather goods, and tinware are also good, but it can only be used in tents when the weather is cold. If you can get copper and ironware,
The best.”
Zhong E looked troubled: "Well... to be honest with you brothers, there are quite a lot of Tibetan tribes that are in contact with the Song Dynasty. The fifty-four tribes in Weizhou and Sichuan are all starving poor ghosts. What do they have...
Yixi Weishe is taking care of me, and now I am living a happy and prosperous life. All the transportation envoys said that when Shaanxi is looking for supplies, we should first satisfy the cooked crops in Yanbian, but brother, you are from Xia after all..."
Yishan was angry: "What Xia people? We are not Xia people! We are Hengshan Fan!"
Zhong E took a bite of the mutton and said, "Brother, you can do it. I am a Tibetan people from two rivers and six valleys, but I have accepted the title of the imperial court. Your majesty's servants have gathered 30,000 strong men and 20,000 strong horses there, and issued them with weapon numbers."
Drum banners and allocate money to them to build fortresses..."
Yishan grabbed Zhongjie's hand and asked, "Give me back the money?"
Zhong Ji nodded: "Ah, to assist in defense, of course you have to pay. Do you expect them to be able to build a cement-brick fortress on their own?"
Yishan almost cried: "Why doesn't Song Dynasty treat us as human beings?"
Zhong E snorted and sneered: "Well, you have to go home and ask your eldest brother what his attitude is towards the Song Dynasty? He is still the prefect of Suizhou in Xixia, right?"
Yishan rolled his eyes and whispered: "Brother Zhong Wu, if we dedicate Suizhou to the Song Dynasty, can we be like the two Sichuan and Fan countries?"
"Ah?" Zhongjie was surprised for a moment, then smiled and said: "Brother, are you too drunk? Come and press the whole piece of barbecue..."
Yishan pressed Zhong'e's hand: "No, brother, what I said is true!"
Zhong E smiled and said: "Suizhou? To be honest, it is just a broken stockade. I have to send people to guard an empty stockade, which would be troublesome..."
Yishan said: "There is also my eldest brother! Let's join the clan and surrender! As long as the Song Dynasty agrees to trade with us like the two Sichuan vassals, we will attach ourselves to the Song Dynasty! Our Hengshan Fan soldiers are inferior to the two.
Sichuan and Tibet are much more resistant to war!"
Zhong E gradually stopped smiling: "Aren't you kidding?"
Yishan looked determined: "No kidding!"
"Okay!" Zhong'e said, "Since brother is so persistent, I will report it to the court right now. Yanda, go to my tent and get the basin that my eldest brother gave me!"
Yanda was surprised: "Wu Lang, have you drunk too much? That basin is made of gold!"
Zhong E smiled and said: "What you want is gold! Brother Yishan, this golden bowl is the Song Dynasty's recognition of your attachment. If your eldest brother accepts it, you will become the people of the Song Dynasty! What will happen to the two Sichuan and Tibetans in the future?
Benefits, what are the benefits for you!"
Five days later, there was another heavy snowfall, and Zhonge came out of the tent: "Yanda, prepare your horses and go to Suizhou!"
Yanda led the horse over: "Wulang, it's snowing so heavily..."
Liu Fu advised: "The land transport envoy rejected your report, saying yes, saying that if Suizhou is lost, the Xia people will definitely attack. The officialdom is new, Shaanxi will provoke border chaos, this, this..."
Zhong'e gritted his teeth: "He is just a civil servant, and he knows nothing about border affairs! Now the arrow is on the string and has to be fired. Breaking trust with the Tibetan people will cause a bigger mess than taking Suizhou! From now on, in the entire Hengshan Mountains, who will be the Tibetan people?
Can you still trust us?"
"Yi Shan still hasn't been able to convince his brother, and Wei Mingshan refuses to let go, so Yi Shan is in a dilemma. At this time, we urgently need our help, instead of prevaricating like Lu Shen did!"
"Let the Tibetan people clearly form a concept, that is, as long as they love the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty will support them! If you are outside, your life will still be at stake, let alone the old thief Lu Shen! Liu Fu, guard the camp, Yanda
