The Uighurs, Achai, Tubo tribes and even the Dangxiang tribes in the west responded positively, either the tribe leaders went to Lingzhou in person or sent important people to come... The Central Plains emperor came to the northwest in person, and the tribes still attached great importance to it. Although the Tang Dynasty declined and perished for many years, its influence in the west was still left; people at least believed that the Central Plains were very large and there were many people!
Only the governor of Dingnan Army has not responded yet, and they are the strongest forces in this area.
Guo Shao was waiting for a report sent by an early messenger: I saw the Khitans in Xiazhou!
When all the officials in the camp heard the news, they were very worried.Guo Shao thought for a long time and thought there was still a chance, so he immediately sent Lu Duosun to go along the road himself.
Half a month later, Guo Shao had arrived in Lingzhou and set up a palace in Shuofangjie Town, but he had never shown up.He was waiting, waiting for the attitude in Xiazhou.
...With the early mission protruding from the west, Lu Duosun arrived in Xiazhou soon after.
Li Yiyin heard that the second time he came was a cabinet minister... After inquiry, the so-called cabinet ministers often gave advice around the emperor and were an important figure in the prime minister's pre-selected personnel.
I met Ludoson soon.
Although the customs and etiquette are different, the atmosphere is similar, and Lu Duosun also felt the importance and respect of the officials in Xiazhou.
He was not humble either, and told the Dangxiang officials that he was the deputy envoy of the Western Tour Army, second only to the Minister of the Privy Council.
Unexpectedly, Li Yiyin actually said in fluent Chinese words: If the tribe members have any negligence, I hope the envoy Lu will be allowed.
Lu Duosun hurriedly said happily: It turns out that King Xiping has not forgotten his hometown words!
oh?Li Yiyin looked at him in surprise.
Lu Duoxun said: Your Majesty heard from the ministers that the Tuoba family was after Li Ling (Northern Wei). In order to restore their original surname during the Tang Dynasty, it was said that the people of Xiazhou were closer to each other than the northwest tribes.
After hearing this, Li Yiyin looked back and did not refute it.
Lu Duoxun saw it and knew that this statement would not cause any trouble to Li Yiyin... The Tuoba family could not make the Dangxiang people feel that they have become Han people because of this sentence.
But saying this makes Li Yiyin feel the kindness of the Great Zhou court.
Sure enough, Li Yiyin responded: I have learned that the emperor had made a visit to the West, but it was still too late to send someone to set off.
Lu Duosun said: Your Majesty's Western tour is aimed at resolving misunderstandings with all ethnic groups, avoiding incorrect troubles in the border areas, and allowing the people of all tribes to live and work in peace and contentment.I want all ethnic groups to send people to Tokyo so that they can discuss matters in a timely manner; they can open a mutual market in Shuofang and communicate with the northwest divisions.
Li Yiyin bowed: Now, the kindness of the people of the tribe are all moved by it.
Lu Duoxun said again: The Dangxiang tribes in Hexi have sent people to Lingzhou and wrote a letter to the officials to replace the Shuofang Jiedushi Feng Jiye, and the officials also wanted to discuss this matter with the King of Xiping.
Li Yiyin's eyes immediately lit up a little: Do you really want to replace the Feng family today?
Lu Duosun said calmly: If the northwest tribes sincerely use tea, horses, jade and silk instead of swords, everything can be discussed.
Li Yiyin did not mention this matter again, and politely argued with Lu Duosun, and then ended the meeting for the time being.
...In fact, Li Yiyin and the entire Xiazhou Dangxiang nobles were very concerned about Feng Jiye.
The armor and swords of the Dingnan Army were very good in the northwest, thanks to the Dangxiang tribe who transported the best iron in Shanzhou (Qinghai).
Feng Jiye used the Lingzhou Plain as a base and burned, killed and plundered the Dangxiang tribe in the west for a long time, blocking the road, seriously hindering the military raw materials of the Dingnan Army.
However, Li Yiyin did not dare to send troops to attack Lingzhou. Lingzhou was a square town established by the Great Zhou Dynasty. Once troops were used, wouldn’t it be a fight with the Great Zhou court to start a war? What is the difference between rebellion and rebellion?
This has always caused a headache for Li Yiyin and others.If the Great Zhou court could replace the governor of Lingzhou with a gentleman and improve the relationship, it would be of great benefit to the Dingnan Army.
Li Yiyin immediately summoned the royal relatives and nobles from various tribes to discuss.
Because I met the Khitans not long ago, the Khitans reminded Dangxiang that once the matter between the Zhou State and the Great Liao eased, they would free up their hands to deal with the Xiazhou area; the Dingnan Army was really independent in recent years, and only one position was missing... So some nobles believed that they should join the Khitans and prepare for the Central Plains in advance.
A nobleman said bluntly: The so-called tea and horse market is the only way to fight horses.If they promised them, the Han people would have more war horses to deal with us in the future.
The leader of the Wuzang clan said: Even if our Dingnan Army does not join the trade, the Zhou Kingdom can still exchange war horses from Hexi, the Western Regions and other places.
The man just said: We have nothing to lose, but we will lose the war horse.Although the tea in the Central Plains is good, it is of no use to strengthen the military strength of Xiazhou.
Wuzang said: The Zhou army has had a kind of armor in recent years, but it is very good. It is said to be the same as the Mingguang armor of the Tang Dynasty.You can try changing armor with a war horse.
Our Dingnan Army’s armor is not bad either. As long as Feng Jiye is killed, why bother to change it?
Wukang said: Then you still have to discuss with Zhou State.
After saying that, he held courtesy to Li Yiyin and said: There are Liao people and the fierce Dazhai tribes in the north, and the Central Plains dynasty in the south. The Xiang people of our party only stayed in the five states including Xiazhou. The king was the long-term plan for the tribe members and was cautious. At this time, the Zhou State was increasingly powerful and he dared to compete head-on with Liao State. He was always on an offensive and must not easily become enemies with him.
Li Yiyin nodded and said yes.He also believed in his heart that the opportunity for the Party to establish the country was not yet good, and the general trend was not good.
In fact, the army of Dingnan has continued to grow and is no longer subject to the Central Plains. However, as long as the Central Plains are worshipped in the name of the Central Plains, the Central Plains will also be rewarded with great kindness.There is really no need to take risks.
While thinking, Li Yiyin reached out to touch his temples and cheeks, and the wrinkles at the beginning reminded him that his age was no longer forgiving.
The great cause and ambition in my heart may have to be fulfilled by future generations.
Now, if we can leave a relatively relaxed situation and opportunities to accumulate strength for future generations.It's within your ability.
He couldn't help but look at his son Li Guangrui who was standing in the lower head.
Li Yiyin finally spoke: The Khitans are just talking nonsense. The Emperor of Great Zhou did not want to fight this Western tour, otherwise there should be some movement in Hedong.This king saw that the emperor was still quite sincere to the Dingnan Army.You can send someone to Lingzhou to meet and discuss matters.
Wukang Dao: You can propose two conditions: the exchange of armor and the replacement of Lingzhou Jieye. Then we promise to pay tribute to war horses and have harmonious exchanges... Usually the court will give back more valuable goods.
A nobleman said: We don’t want tea, we need armor, which will arouse suspicion from the Great Zhou.
Wuzang said disapprovingly: Dangxiang is full of threats, so why should we hide our martial spirit?The Zhou people really had no choice but to be suspicious.
Li Yiyin did not comment.
Only the governor of Dingnan Army has not responded yet, and they are the strongest forces in this area.
