Chapter 19 Announcement of the envoys
While Xu Ping and several generals were watching everywhere in the military camp, Zhong Shiheng suddenly sent someone to report that the Xuanzhao envoy sent from the capital to Qingtang arrived and asked Xu Ping to return to Qinzhou immediately.
As soon as the Dangxiang rebelled, the court immediately promoted the title of the Lord Siluo and rewarded money and supplies, hoping that he would restrain Yuan Hao from the rear. However, the imperial edict was written, but there was no envoy who went to Qingtang. Originally, the left servant had been to Qingtang twice, but he had to go there again this time, and he would never go there. Even if he was demoted to a remote prefecture and county to monitor the alcohol tax, Lu Jing refused to go there, and the matter was delayed until now.
After arriving in Qinzhou, Xu Ping realized that the current Lilu could not bear the important task of restraining Dangxiang. Yuan Hao was not a fool. Before he opposed the Song Dynasty, he had eliminated the threat from the rear. Although Lilu could not annex Lilu, he had won over Miaochuan, occupied the important lands of Huizhou and Lanzhou, and cut off the connection between Lilu and the court of Qingtang Lilu. Moreover, there were several opposition forces to restrain it. It was not easy for Lilu to stay in Qingtang, so he had no spare force to take the initiative to attack. However, Lilu could not restrain Dangxiang, but could cooperate with Xu Ping's strategy of Longxi Tubo, and it was useless to be granted official positions and reward money.
When he returned to Qinzhou City with Li Zhang, Xu Ping was speechless when he saw the envoy who had announced the imperial edict. The envoy who came from Xuandi was Liu Huan, the military farmer. When Xu Ping first returned to the capital, because Empress Guo was deposed, Liu Huan and several censors came to his house to make a big fuss, which made Lin Suniang furious. Afterwards, Xu Ping impeached them, and Liu Huan was demoted from the capital.
Unexpectedly, he chose a thousand choices and finally chose such an envoy who had a marriage with Xu Ping. I think Liu Huan was not proud of this past few years, and wanted to take this opportunity to turn things around and take the risk of going to Qingtang.
After the ceremony, everyone sat down. Liu Huan bowed to Xu Ping: "A few years ago, Jishuai first returned to the capital. Because Empress Guo's deposed, he was very disturbed by the mansion. The incident happened back then, so don't blame Jishuai for offending."
Xu Ping smiled and said, "It has been several years since the incident. You have made a fuss. I have also impeached the article. Of course, I will expose it. Such a small matter must be remembered for a lifetime. Xu is not so petty. Don't mention this matter again!"
Liu Huan thanked him, and a stone in his heart fell to the ground. When he was on mission to Qing Tang, he must have the cooperation of Xu Ping, the Bian Shuai. If he kept remembering the previous holidays, things would be very difficult.
After invited tea, Xu Ping asked Liu Huan about the situation on the way and his plans.
Liu Huan said: "I heard that the Qingtang road is not open now, and I took the imperial edict to go on an envoy, so my life was naturally left out. It was just that the imperial court rewarded the silk and tea that the emperor gave to the sage, which was a large amount. It was not something that could be carried by one person, but I also had to worry about the day coach."
What the Qian Qiang needed was the physical silk tea. These things could not be bought even if they had money in their territory. If Liu Huan exchanged silk tea for gold and silver, it would be meaningless. Therefore, the reward must be delivered, and Xu Ping had to send someone to follow him.
Xu Ping asked Liu Huan: "The road to Qinzhou is not easy to walk now. I wonder if the silk tea rewarded by the imperial court has come with it? Or should it be prepared by Qinzhou, and you will take it to Qingtang."
"Reported to the commander of Jieshou, Juan Cha, with me, left the capital with me. However, after arriving at Fengxiang Mansion, they were a few days behind because the road was difficult and dangerous, and then came. The officials did not know the feelings of Longxi, so they took the lead. By the way, Jieshou reported to the court to ask some bridges and roads to repair the road. They came with me, and now they were in Fengxiang Mansion with Juan Cha."
Xu Ping was happy: "Oh, I don't know who led the Qiaodaoxiang Army?"
"Lu Fang, Chongban of the inner palace, came with the three commanders and corresponding equipment, and arrived soon."
Xu Ping nodded repeatedly. The Privy Council was still very helpful to him, so he asked his old subordinate Lu Fang to bring people. The bridge road department was thousands of miles away. It was very good to build several main roads, and the roads in Qinzhou were not enough to take care of. The most important thing in management of the foreign ministries was transportation, as long as the roads were opened, everything was easy. In the past six months, Xu Ping needed to renovate the road to Fengxiang Prefecture to make the material traffic smoother, and as support for Qinzhou's next move.
When Xu Ping heard the news that Lu Fang came, he felt much more relaxed, and even when he looked at Liu Huan, he felt that he was not that annoying.
Liu Huan was not a naughty young man who knew nothing about Qinzhou. He came to his mind when he was hot. His father Liu Wenzhi served as the chief of Qinzhou twice during his lifetime, and he built Xiaoluomenzhai. His younger brother Liu Hu was the chief supervisor of Wating Village in Anhua County, Weizhou at this time. Liu Huan was not unfamiliar with the Fan Qiang in Qinzhou and Jingyuan Road. He was born into a general. Although Liu Huan was a literary scholar, he was still unruly, especially when he was in trouble. If not, he would not have gone to Xu Ping's house to make trouble.
After briefly talking about the current situation around Qinzhou, Xu Ping said to Liu Huan: "This time we go to Qingtang, we should travel west from Gu Wei to take the road to Di Dao of the previous dynasty. However, now Lanzhou has been occupied by Dangxiang, so we can only go to Hezhou. Hezhou is now occupied by Yan Siluo's eldest son, Xiaowu. It is reported that their father and son broke up, and Xiaowu was quite resentful to Yan Si, so it is not easy to leave there."
Liu Huan asked, "I don't know why their father and son broke up? There are occasional rumors about this, but I don't know how it is."
Xu Ping sighed: "I don't know exactly what Qinzhou knows, there is only a general news. It is said that this is how, the sages left the Zong brother Li Lizun, and went to the Yiyaran tribe of Miaochuan to establish a wife, and then married a wife, Qiao family. The Qiao family is a big clan of Qingtang Tubo, and the Qiao family is quite beautiful and quite happy. Moreover, the Qiao family is smart and capable, relying on the power of the family to control the heavy troops, and has a great position in the sages. The sages and the Yaran tribe have a quarrel. After killing Wen Qi, they go to Qingtang, and relying on the power of the Qiao family there. The Qiao family is favored and the sages.
The two wives of La, both Li Lizun's daughters, naturally lost power. Yu Sila asked them to become monks and nuns and settled them in Guzhou. The Qiang was in love with him because Yu Sila's eldest son and second son were born to Li, so he was imprisoned by him. Somehow, something unexpected happened. Li and his two sons contacted Li Baquan, the leader of the Zongge clan, and escaped together. Now his eldest son Yu Sila occupied the land of Hezhou, and his second son Mo Sila was in charge of Zongge City, and they all opposed Yu Sila. Therefore, the road from Qinzhou to Qingtang is no longer open, so we have to go to announce the imperial edict to Yu Sila, and we should think of a complete solution."
Qinzhou went to Qingtang, and after ancient times, he said that he would go west along the Didao road that has existed since ancient times. After passing Didao, he would go down the Tao River, and then either go to Lanzhou to go against the Huangshui River, or go directly to Hezhou and Guzhou, without any other roads. Now Lanzhou is the sphere of influence of Dangxiang. The great chief Yu Zanghuama has surrendered and married Yuanhao's daughter. Then the road to Lanzhou is blocked and he can only go to Hezhou.
Liu Huan thought for a while and asked Xu Ping: "I don't know what Jishuai's idea is to travel in the Fan Qiang land?"
Xu Ping said: "There is one way, but you have to stay in Qinzhou for a while and wait for everything to be prepared."
"This matter is serious, so don't worry about it for a while, and you can wait a little longer."
"Okay, that's it. Before I came to Qinfeng Road, because Fan Qiang Chong Buddhas, he once recruited monks to follow the army. A Master Qisong came from thousands of miles away and is currently in Qinzhou City. This is a Taoist monk. I have submitted a report to the court and gave him a purple robes. After the court gave it, he will go deep into the Fan Qiang area to preach Buddhism. Fan Qiang Chong Buddhas, only monks can walk freely among all ethnic groups in their place and will not be detained. Then you feel wronged and pretend to be Qisong's disciple and go to Qingtang with him."
