Section 203: May I Be the People of the Great Song Dynasty
She pointed the crutch in her hand at the noble Dangxiang and shouted: "Wait, would you like to be the people of the Song Dynasty?"
Pan Luozhi made a break: "It is actually beneficial to be a citizen of the Song Dynasty, or do you think you can stop him?"
The Dangxiang people knelt down.
The sword hanging above the head, the six valleys behind it, the elite cavalry in Xizhou, and the even more terrifying one.
Liu An, 18 years old this year.
He is crazy.
The Dangxiang people did not doubt that this lunatic dared to kill more than two million Dangxiang people.
Seeing the Dangxiang people kneeling, Pan Luozhi laughed: "That's right. I, Liugu, have been very rich recently and have taken on a big business. At that time, I will give you the share of 5,000 cavalry. How much can you earn? Even if your cavalry is not as cruel as our Liugu cavalry."
ruthless?
The Dangxiang nobles had no time to think about this in their minds now, and they only knew that they could only listen to Liu An.
Say the other side.
Although Asi Lanhan from Xizhou sent troops, he did not come here in person. Instead, he summoned the elders and the important officials to discuss a very important matter behind closed doors.
After Asi Lanhan told everyone all the information about Liu An, he said: "At the age of eighteen, with Ben Khan's understanding of the Song people, how could it be that he was eighteen, but he did take over the power. And he had the power, Ben Han asked everyone to come over to tell you that this son is in the world."
"He wants to rebel against Song?"
Asi Lanhan shook his head: "It's not a Song, it's the world."
"What is the world?"
"Han and Tang dynasties!"
An elder asked, "What the Khan means is that one day his sword will also point to our Xizhou?"
"Yes!" Asi Lanhan gave an answer with great certainty.
The elder asked again: "King Khan means that our Xizhou is going to make a choice? Or do we fight against each other, or follow our ancestors to build a protective palace?"
"yes!"
There are only two options, stay independent and then go to war. Or become a part of the Tang Dynasty.
This choice is not easy.
Gaochang, the city where Xizhou is now located, was once the Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty.
Another elder asked: "If you fight, can you beat me? Or this time, when he fights against Liao, what are we doing behind the scenes?"
Asi Lanhan shook his head: "This time the battle against Liao must be fought with all its strength. This cannot be faked. Bending the alliance will be detrimental to our Xizhou. Not to mention that severing the business in the Western Regions will make many tribes dissatisfied. Liao is also a great enemy of our Xizhou. The Liao people believe it, and the Bohai Kingdom is an example, but what about the Han people? The Han people kept their promises in the Tang Dynasty, and all ethnic groups were prosperous."
"Have the Khan made a choice?"
"No, it's just a bias." Asi Lanhan made up his mind, but he was also in a dilemma. The Liao people had already taken action against Xizhou several times, hoping that Xizhou would become a semi-independent vassal state.
The Liao people's approach to the Bohai Kingdom scared Xizhou.
There are countless horses in Xizhou, but they are not strong. After all, the population, land, weapons, etc. are far from enough.
Asi Lanhan sighed long and said, "This Liu An is amazing, with tens of millions of acres of white flower fields, amazing."
Turning nomads into farming, Asi Lanhan swallowed a piece of sweet candy. He knew that he could not stop eating the candy, but he couldn't help it.
Although it was a little late last year, hundreds of acres of white flowers were planted in summer. After harvesting in late autumn, Asi Lanhan also confirmed that Liu An told him that cotton could indeed be grown in Tianshan, and there were countless sheep manure in Xizhou, and horse manure could be used to make the fields.
Who would want to travel if you can live in peace?
The stable production of farming is indeed very attractive.
Xizhou is different from Liao and even more different from the Mongolian Plateau. Xizhou is composed of the remnants of the former Protectorate. It is a semi-agricultural tribe. The fruit industry here in Gaochang is very prosperous and the grain harvest is also good.
Asi Lanhan said again: "I went to Bianliang, and I only know one thing. The Song Dynasty court is different from Liu An."
The elder who was first asked about the question said at this time: "If Liu An has the heart to dominate, our Xizhou will follow us. If not, Xizhou will not accept it."
"Ah, hahaha." Asi Lanhan suddenly burst out laughing: "This is interesting. Isn't the Song emperor wearing the imperial robe like this?"
Inside the house, the elders of Xizhou also laughed.
"Go to fight and transfer another 50,000 elite troops. This battle will cause the Liao people to fight for ten years, and then... see if the hero has the ambition to go north."
Asi Lanhan raised the knife.
Going north is necessary. If you want to plant white flowers in Tianshan, you cannot interfere with any hostile force.
Asi Lanhan understood one thing: farmers cannot be friends with grazing people. Xizhou is already a semi-agricultural country, and they cannot be friends with the tribes of the Mongolian Plateau that are purely herding.
At this time, Bianliang City.
The second secret report from Li Huan has been delivered, but Liu An is not in Bianliang.
Pan Ziling did not return to Bianliang, and he was still in Xianping.
Fan Si.
The name Fan Zhongyan.
He was twelve years old this year. After receiving this secret report, he knew that his people were rude, but no one in the court believed that although he was young, he believed that Kou Zhun would not act for Liu An's interests.
Li Jilong is a Wu Xun and has no right to speak in the court.
So Fan Si thought of a person, the only person in the Song Dynasty who could leverage the balance of the present.
Zhao You.
Moreover, Fan Si is one of the very few people who know some of Liu An’s little secrets. As a genius boy carefully trained by Liu An, Liu An involved in many things.
Fan Si returned to Beijing and took Zhao You back to Bianliang.
Along the way, Fan Si spoke Zhao You's lines thirty times until the lines were printed into Zhao You's head.
The two teenagers returned to Bianliang and rested at the Earl's Mansion for one night. The next morning, they headed to the palace.
The palace is in the morning court.
Wang Dan, a very well-educated old man, drew four seventh-rank civil servants, used the imperial guard's scabbard to knock down a censor, and took a few breaths. Then waved.
A fourth-rank civil servant stepped forward, saluted the emperor, and then pointed to the people who were beaten by Wang Dan: "You are all waste materials from the country. Chameng can provide seven million dans of hemp buns for the Song Dynasty a year, and provide 5 million stones of grain, dyes, peppers, and spices. The King of Chameng asked for a chapter. The granary was attacked. I believe that South Korea should give in and give the hemp buns and grains in the warehouse to Qu Yue to find the so-called harmony of you and others?"
Before Wang Dan could breathe, he stretched out his fingers twice.
These fourth-rank civil officials were the right censor, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the scholar of Longtu Pavilion Du Fu.
When Du Hua saw Wang Dan's gesture, he immediately expressed his understanding and his tone changed again: "A group of scum, the same dynasty as you, is a shame for me, Du Hua. Even you are so weak that you dare to be mean to your own tenants. Could it be that thieves enter the house, and you also have to be treated with wine and meat, or you may arrange for you and other concubines."
Wang Dan was very satisfied and a smile finally appeared on his face.
Chapter completed!
