Chapter 777 It is not just a tit-for-tat

This time, when he was on the mission to Wei Dynasty, he not only received a good reply from Li Tianqu and Yelu Abaojitong, but also opened a port for trading. Wang Yu, of course, thanked him so much and went happily. However, he didn't know that as the target of being eliminated sooner or later, he had already registered a number on Li Tianqu's side.

A few days later, Yan Keqiu's memorial from Chang'an had also been conveyed to Bianjing. After reading it, Li Tianqu could not help but frown gradually.

At first, according to Yan Kexue, Zhang Chengfeng, the grandson of Zhang Yichao, who originally claimed to be the emperor in white and established the Jinshan Kingdom of the Western Han Dynasty, not only left the emperor's name, but changed it to Dunhuang Kingdom. He also gradually handed over the power to Cao Rengui, who was also a powerful family in Shazhou and his grandfather Zhang Yichao.

When he was speaking boldly, he would have to conquer the tribes swept across the Hexi tribes and revitalize the entire territory of the Guiyi Army captured by his grandfather. As a result, he angered the Uighurs in Ganzhou and was beaten by reality... Zhang Chengfeng knew that his majesty was ruined, and in the minds of the Han people in Gua and Shazhou, the prestige established as Zhang Yichao's grandson was gone. He suffered a major blow and became discouraged, and soon after the transfer of power, he was depressed.

Cao Rengui took control of power through peaceful handover, and immediately abolished the Dunhuang Kingdom name, as the governor of the Guiyi Army, and claimed to be attached to the Wei Dynasty. Recently, he also actively sent envoys to deal with Chang'an, and the affairs of the feudal states were managed in an orderly manner.

Since Cao Rengui took the lead, at least he is still willing to advance and retreat with the Guiyi Army. The Suzhou Long family, which belonged to the Yanqi people, is naturally willing to join the Wei Dynasty camp.

After Yan Keqiu rushed to Chang'an and served as the Xijing, he took advantage of the exchanges between envoys from all sides and began to divide and win over the forces in the Wenmo period of Liangzhou, which had mixed internal tribes... He also determined the suitable Han general and was supported by the Wei Dynasty, preparing to launch a mutiny to overthrow the current ruling class with the Tubo people as the main body.

After the completion of the matter, Wenmo, Liangzhou, will no longer maintain the superficial respect and kindness, but in fact, they are always on guard against the Wei Dynasty and may turn to the Later Tang Dynasty at any time. Yan Keqiu said that "Hexi should be dominated by the Han people, and the Han people will return to the Han family again", and at the same time, it is also conditional on high officials and generous salaries. Now, as long as he gives orders, the Han army generals within Wenmo of Liangzhou will immediately launch a coup with the support of the Wei Dynasty army...

But Li Tianqu also knew very well that once the Wei Dynasty took the Wenmo in Liangzhou, it would inevitably cause the Ganzhou Uighurs, whose population is more than 300,000, to be alert, and the relationship between the two sides would deteriorate rapidly... Therefore, after taking action against Wenmo in Liangzhou, it would be necessary to send troops immediately to try to defeat the Ganzhou Uighurs as soon as possible.

However, the Yan Keqiu plan was in full swing, but it was inevitable that another force would suddenly appear and disrupt the situation.

After all, even though the Dangxiang clan was the ruling class of the vassal state, even if he did not dare to provoke the Wei Dynasty, the Jiedushi Li Sijian, who has stood firmly in the camp of the Later Tang Dynasty, would not do anything or stop, and would not be afraid of offending the Wei Dynasty.

Therefore, according to the report of the Strict Report, several tribes of the Dingnan Army have begun to plunder villages and yards under Huanzhou (later Huan County, Qingyang City, Gansu Province), which are now controlled by the Wei Dynasty, and attacked caravans, plundering, burning and killing them. So far, nearly a thousand people have been killed...

A vassal state of Dingnan Army dared to take the initiative to send troops to offend. Li Tianqu thought that if a large army was gathered to attack, the Later Tang would definitely take the opportunity to send troops to intercept the rear... If the military departments in the Central Plains still had to dispatch troops to the northwest, they would be a labor force to expedition.

After all, Yan Keqiu had been ordered to fully handle military and political affairs in the pass, Gansu and Shaanxi, as well as Fengxiang, Bining and other several troops. Li Tianqu thought about how to respond to the criminal gangs of the Dingnan Army, so Yan Keqiu would deal with it himself.

However, with the nature of Yan Keqiu's top counselor, although he is not as narrow and sinister as Li Zhen and others, he will be vindictive, but to be honest, he is planning and planning more like a conspirator. Even if he is not a traitor, he has many conspiracies and tricks. Since Li Sijian, Dingnan Jun, dares to provoke him, Yan Keqiu has already figured out his mind, and it will inevitably make the leader of the Party and Xiang tribes frustrated...

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Under the rule of the Dingnan Army, Chungang Shaanxi, bordering Huanzhou to the southwest.

There are several settlements of small tribes of the Dangxiang people. These tribes have also followed other large tribes of the Dangxiang people to settle down. A small number of them learned farming from Han farmers and opened up some fields at suitable places. Because the tribe is small in size and the surrounding water plants are enough to raise cattle and sheep, these small tribes live by water plants and do not have to migrate too far, but live a relatively stable life.

The so-called Dangxiang Ba clans, led by Tuoba, Fangdang, Mi Qin, Xifeng, etc., are only the eight largest tribes under the same ethnic group. Dangxiang Qiang still has many tribal branches that were originally governed by their own governments and did not belong to each other.

Several small tribes of Dangxiang that were originally thriving in the Shaanxi area of ​​Chungang were usually engaged in gatherings and trading with other tribes, or exchanged salt, iron pots, tea, cloth and other supplies with nearby Han people with cattle, sheep, fur.

However, in addition to trading and trading, nomadic groups seemed to be born with the habit of plundering stocks and plundering money... The Dingnan Army's vassal states claimed to be inverted to the Later Tang Dynasty, and then the provincial capitals, which were adjacent to the Wei Dynasty, immediately became hostile. After the Jiedushi Li Sijian intentionally incited, several of the eight tribes of the Party Xiang tribes, and even many small tribes, began to organize manpower, frequently plundering money and plundering Huanzhou and other places...

Since it can be used to rob, why do you have to trade with those Han people under the Wei Dynasty?

However, in the southern corner of Chungang, a gathering place of Dangxiang people suddenly sounded. The people who rushed out to find out the truth were seeing a group of Han cavalry rushing towards him in a fierce manner. Even though the vast majority of the people did not know the big "Wei" embroidered on the flags in the ranks, they could immediately notice the danger of the bad guys coming!

"Shit!"

Several clusters of arrows were already shooting towards him. Several men of Dangxiang who were about to raise their bows and arrows suddenly felt their bodies trembled and were already pierced by sharp arrows. The rest of the women, children and children were frightened and scattered. However, another feather arrow roared away. Then the cavalry that rushed over rushed towards the people of Dangxiang who were running around!

"Wei army is here! Wei army is here!"

The panicked screams sounded everywhere in the gathering place, and a Wei general was also looking back and forth like an eagle and falcon. The old, young, women and children who were screaming and running, looked like preys like yellow deer and hares in his vulture-like eyes... He suddenly raised his throat and shouted loudly:

"Under the order of staying at Jun, the Dangxiang tribes of the Nanjun were killed in Huanzhou under the Wei Dynasty. They must also fight for teeth and blood! Today, all the Dangxiang tribes in the Shanxi area of ​​Chungang will be killed without mercy!"

The Wei general had just shouted the order, and a member of the military academy came close to him and immediately asked:

"General Fang, what should we do if the old, weak, women and children... do we do it?"

This Wei general was named Li Shaoying by Li Cunxu according to his original trajectory. However, he was originally from Wei Bojun, but he joined Fang Zhiwen, who followed Luo Shaowei. Although this guy was brave and good at fighting, he was greedy in history. When he was in charge of one side, he often conquers his people and accumulates a lot of money. There are voice prostitutes who come and go... So after hearing the military academy's question, Fang Zhiwen glared at him and said unhappily:

"Supply the goods! I was constrained by military discipline in the past and was quite restricted. Now I finally have a stern left-behind man to speak, but I can't help but hesitate? Anyway, the Dangxiang tribes provoked me, Wei Dynasty first, and today they launched troops to retaliate. All the old ones were killed, and the other women, children and children were also captured. I arranged it to the Yanqi tribe to sell it as slaves. This is also a sum of money! All the women who were plundered with outstanding looks... are also taken to me, and I will pick a few of them to benefit!"
