Chapter 542: Shen Tang promises, Orchard is excited
Ye Mao did not directly instigate the Orchard rebellion, but he was already somewhat dissatisfied, and coupled with the uprightness of these tribesmen, how could he be the old fox's opponent?
Under his earnest instruction, an acquired rebel gradually established his faith.
However, just a belief is naturally not enough. If you want to rebel, even if you are upright, you know that you need enough strength.
Therefore, although Orchard had already had such an idea in his heart, how could he dare to express it?
As a mentor, Ye Mao must of course find a reason for Orchard.
Therefore, one of Ye Mao's "solologues" happened to be overheard by Orchard.
Ye Mao's words shocked Orchard. He heard clearly that Ye Mao said to himself alone: "The imperial court is becoming more and more dissatisfied with the Qiang people, and His Majesty has issued a secret decree to select a reliable person to be the leader of the Qiang people. , in order to make the Qiang people more cooperative with the imperial rule.
However, I am just a puppet in Maozhou. How can those Qiang people find any reliable people?
Moreover, once this news is leaked, my life may be at risk."
These two people, the man is affectionate, the concubine is interested... Well, no, it should be that the words are intentional and the listener is interested! With this good news, how can Orchard still calmly control his own thoughts?
Immediately, he gritted his teeth and rushed in directly.
What happened next became simple. After Ye Mao acted in surprise, Orchard Dang was calm! If he relied on himself, he would naturally not be able to covet the position of the leader of the Qiang tribe. But with the help of Song Dynasty, That would be different.
If the Heavenly Soldiers of the Song Dynasty arrive at any time, he will directly cooperate with Ye Mao and serve as a leader. Wouldn't it be possible to directly leave a good impression on the Song Dynasty court?
There were hundreds of thousands of Qiang tribesmen, and it was impossible for the Song Dynasty to wipe them all out.
The greatest possibility is to wipe out the masters like Gu Wu.
So, who will lead the Qiang people then?
Who else could I be without Orchard?
Therefore, without Guwu's complete knowledge, Orchard, whom he valued, had long since become Ye Mao's companion.
With the watcher Orchard covering for Ye Mao, how could some of Ye Mao's little moves be discovered by the Qiang people?
On that day, Ye Mao called Orchard out alone to ask him to ask for help from Tibet.
Including Orchard's words, they were basically taught by Ye Mao.
Moreover, Ye Mao also gave Orchard a guarantee that before leaving for this trip, he could temporarily stay in the Song army to seek shelter.
Otherwise, even if there is no evidence, Guwu will definitely doubt Orchard.
After Chengdu Fulu was pacified, Ye Mao promised that Orchard would help him become the new leader of the Qiang people.
However, at that time, the Qiang people were unable to resist under Shen Tang's army. It was just a matter of thought whether to agree to this ordeal, so Ye Mao was not worried at all.
After Ye Mao's guidance, Orchard became enthusiastic and started his current career.
This time, including those who followed Orchard, they were all people he could trust! He was not afraid of the news getting out at all.
Besides, after this incident, the Song army protected them, so as long as the Song army won, they would have nothing to worry about.
"Well, sit down!"
Shen Tang nodded and said.
"Thank you, General!"
Orchard stood up carefully, sat sideways, and said respectfully, "Master Ye has already told the villain to obey the general's instructions in everything. In addition, this is Master Ye's personal letter, and also Please take a look at it, General."
Looking at this young and outrageous general in front of him, Orchard didn't dare to be a little presumptuous!
After taking Ye Mao's letter, Shen Tang read it and said to Orchard, "Orchard, you have a day's rest in the camp today.
Tomorrow at noon, we will set out for Jiulong and trick the Tubo people into opening the city gate."
"After the city gate is opened, I need you to delay the tea time to give the army a chance.
Then, you can return directly.
During this period of time, you can just stay in the military camp. When the commander pacifies the roads in Chengdu, your contribution will be indispensable."
"Moreover, I can promise that as long as you are close to the court and loyal to the Song Dynasty, after the war in Chengdu is over, I will personally protect you and become the leader of the Qiang people! At that time, you will lead the Qiang people and continue southward with me. .
If you have made great achievements, I, the King of Shu, will naturally not dare to tell you, but I will guarantee you the position of transfer envoy of the capital of Chengdu!"
"Don't think that I am deceiving you. Before I led my troops to go on the expedition, His Majesty personally issued an order. I have discretionary authority over matters concerning Chengdu Prefecture.
You should be able to understand the meaning of this sentence!"
"The villain understands!"
At this moment, Orchard felt that his breathing was getting faster! Although Shen Tang was young, he had an army of 100,000, so he obviously had the absolute right to speak. His guarantee was more solid than Ye Maolai's.
Moreover, in addition to the chief of the Qiang tribe, there is actually a position of transfer envoy! You must know that for each route, the imperial court has a department of economic strategy and pacification, which is in charge of the army, horses, and civil affairs of the route, and the transfer envoy is equivalent to a deputy position.
Such a position, even if it is half a head higher than the prefect Ye Mao, has Orchard ever expected?
And Shen Tang’s arrangement is not without purpose!
First of all, the reason why we went at Orchard at noon instead of at night was actually to dispel the suspicion of the Tibetan people.
After all, if we went at night, how could the Tibetan people not be prepared at all?
Although it is more advantageous to have a large army surprise attack at night, once the Tibetans are prepared, these benefits will be offset.
Going directly during the day, plus this Orchard is a real envoy of the Qiang people, and there is no fear of being discovered by the Tubo people. In this way, the Tubo people will easily relax.
As for the guarantee to Orchard, Shen Tang is not just talking nonsense.
From what happened this time in Chengdu Fulu, we can see that there are no real people in Chengdu Fulu! Although the imperial court sent pacification envoys, transfer envoys, prefects, and county magistrates to suppress these tribes in some aspects, but It will also make them feel more dissatisfied.
And if a person from a local tribe is elected to hold a certain important position, as long as this person is close to the imperial court, he can become a lubricant in the middle, which will naturally be beneficial to the imperial court's rule over Chengdu Fulu.
Moreover, he did decide to resolve the Qiang matter first after the siege was relieved in Chengdu.
First, the Qiang people were eliminated, and there was no more fighting in the north of Chengdu. Second, the Qiang people were not weak, and they could use the strength of the Qiang people to go south together, pacify the areas south of Chengdu, and finally have a decisive battle with the Tubo people.
Shen Tang doesn't care who becomes the clan leader, but Wujia seems to be quite obedient, so it's not a bad idea to help him.
