Gan Qi didn't know what was going on in the capital, but he had some expectations in his heart, so Gan Qi needed this kind of thing more and more.

The army that ravaged the Hetao began to slowly withdraw from the grassland, and the Tiemen Pass was almost repaired, and Gan Qi led the army to slowly return to the south, moving closer to Qinzhou, and the advantage of returning to the south was that the supply of grain and grass would be much simpler.

The land of Qinzhou is the westernmost military center of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Xihe Lanhuang is open, which is the advance base.

Chong was stunned and took Wang Shao and Zhang Qi to start planning the affairs of Qingtang City, Qingtang City is Lanzhou, and Lan in Lanhuang in Xihe River is Lanzhou.

This matter will start from the defeat of the war, it is difficult to win the battle, in fact, it is also difficult to defeat the war, not only to defeat the war, but also not to really suffer heavy losses, let alone take the lives of soldiers as a child's play, so if you want to fight this defeat well, it will also test the ability to be stunned.

The Tubo people were supposed to be on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, but now their sphere of influence has reached below the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which is also the result of the Tubo people's gradual encroachment for so many years, and it also proves that the Great Song Dynasty's ability to control the border is really not good.

The so-called opening of the border is to drive the Tubo people back and take back Qingtang City, which is to block the channel for the Tubo people to advance eastward from the north.

The Tubo people have a very large sphere of influence, as far as Gansu in the north, Shu and Yunnan in the south, and the Himalayas in the west, but the Tubo people have always been unified, and there are many tribes, and there are not a few people who fight each other.

It stands to reason that the Tubo people, like the northern steppe people, should also be able to fight well, because their growth environment and way are relatively similar, but the threat of the Tubo people to the Central Plains Dynasty has not been great in history, and there is only one real unification in the history of Tubo, that is, Songtsan Gampo during the Tang Dynasty, and it was divided into a mass of scattered sand at the end of the Tang Dynasty.

In history, China really included Tibet in the territory for the first time, or relied on the steppe people, that is, the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian army entered Lhasa and directly ruled Tibet, and since then Tibet has really begun to appear on the map of China. By the time of the Ming Dynasty, the ability to rule Tibet had greatly decreased, mostly in the form of restraints, and more in the name of the suzerain.

The Mongolian steppe is a plateau, and the people on the grassland are nomadic people, and when they go to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to fight the Tibetan people, they are really hand-in-hand, adapting to the climate, altitude, and even lifestyle.

In order to weaken the power of the Mongol tribes, the Manchus also brought Tibetan Buddhism into the grassland, and the Mongols began to become lamas. In order to further weaken the Mongols, the Manchus even forcibly stipulated that every Mongol household must have a man as a lama, and even a family could only keep one male, and the rest had to be lamas.

There is also a rule that lamas are not allowed to marry and have children.

Of course, the premise is that the Manchu people who came out of the white mountains and black waters in the northeast beat the Mongolian tribes into dogs, and then religion and high-pressure measures went hand in hand, completely solving the problem of steppe nomadism, so that the grassland nomadism of 3 million people dropped to less than 1 million in 200 years.

Lamaism, is a good thing. This trick can be learned. Use the steppe people to fight the Tubo people, and then use the Tubo Lama to teach the steppe people, perfect.

To be fair, the Manchu Qing still had his achievements in history.

But these are all later words for Ganqi, and now first fight Tubo, then destroy the party, and then get Liao, and if you get Liao, you can take advantage of the situation to get the grassland, turn back and use the grassland to get Tubo, and then use Tubo to get the grassland.

The idea is perfect and clear, and it solves almost all the problems. There is only the Great Khing'an Ridge left, and the Great Khing'an Ridge will also come out of the Mengwu Murwei (Mongolia), out of the Jurchens, out of the Manchurians, and continue to brush the boss.

The Great Xing'an Mountains, the Small Xing'an Mountains, and the Changbai Mountains, this mountain forest is the most tricky.

More than ten days later, a kind of stunned defeat and returned, was beaten by the Achai Ma people, after returning to Qinzhou, the mood was still very good, from Gan Qi asked for a sum of money, set off again, and was beaten by the Achai Ma people.

And Wang Shao, who went to the plateau with this money, went around the country from the south and began to give gifts.

Qingtang City, under the control of the Ministry of Ngang, is a personal name, it is this person who established this tribe, he also accepted the canonization of Renzong, and also fought with Western Xia, this person is a powerful person.

But he died a few years ago, and the tribe was directly divided, and now the main ruler of the department is Dong Yu, the son of Dong Yu, who is also a powerful person, not only married the princess of Western Xia, but also married the princess of Khitan, and his power is incomparable. Even if the fight was partially split, Dong Yu still inherited his father's main power.

Gan Qi's strategy of opening the border, the main enemy is still the Guys, the Qingtang City that Gan Qi wants, is also an important stronghold of the Guys, and even many areas of Xihe Lanhuang are the territory of the Guys.

Speaking of which, the main policy of the Song Dynasty was to unite the Song Dynasty to resist the Xia, and also accepted the canonization of the Song Dynasty, but there were countless frictions with the Song Dynasty, the most important thing was the friction on the border territory, which continued to encroach to the east, and also clashed with the Song army. But he was defeated by Song and began to bow down.

These are all things that will happen in the near future.

Wang Shao went around to Qingtang City from the south to see Dong Yu. The name Dong Yu is not a surname Dong, but a transliteration of Chinese characters, which is the same thing as the name 唃厮啰.

Dong Yu, who is in his thirties, has only been on the throne for less than two years, and has married Princess Xixia and Princess Khitan successively, and his thoughts of being enemies of the Song Dynasty have been revealed.

Seeing Wang Shao, the Song envoy, Dong Yu was not as enthusiastic as his father, and was a little impatient, and asked, "Song envoy is here, what's the matter?" ”

Wang Shao saluted respectfully and said: "I came here, but I was ordered by the privy envoy Gan Xianggong to ask the Jiedu envoy to send troops to attack Achaima with the Song army. ”

The Jiedu envoy is talking about Dong Yu, his father accepted the Baoshun Army Jiedu envoy who was canonized by Renzong, and he naturally inherited this official title.

Dong Yu's face was embarrassed: "Ah Chai Ma and my department have the same origin and have always been good friends, so it is really inappropriate to attack it rashly." ”

Wang Shao said: "Although Achaima and your ministry are neighbors, there are many contradictions because of pastures and other things, and they have always been at odds. Now Achai Mabe is even more emboldened, killing my people, not respecting the prestige of Gan Xiang, and Gan Xianggong is angry and wants to destroy it. Gan Xianggong said that as long as the Jiedu envoy is willing to send troops, after destroying the Achai Ma Department, the people and the pasture will be owned by the Jiedu envoy. This time, he also brought 500,000 copper coins, and as long as the Jiedu envoy was willing to send troops, these copper coins would be left as the food and salary of the Jiedu envoy. I don't know what the festival means? ”

Dong Yu pretended to think for a moment, and said: "You Gan Xianggong is really good, you beat the party members to defeat and retreat, and also occupy the iron gate, and now the party emperor is panicked all day long, and because of the little thing about Achai Ma people, he will be destroyed, and his temper is really not small." ”

"That's nature, what kind of person is my family? Defeating the Khitan and taking Yanyun, defeating the party and seizing the land of the eight states, how could they be disobeyed by the little Achai Ma people? If it is immortal, where will I put my family's face in Ganxianggong? Wang Shao said.

Dong Yu suddenly smiled and asked: "If I disobey Gan Xianggong in the future, should I also be destroyed?" ”

Dong Yu's words are to the point, and Gan Qi takes a fancy to his Qingtang City.

Wang Shao hurriedly smiled and said, "What is the Jiedu envoy talking about?" You are the envoy of the Baoshun Army, and we are a family. And Gan Xianggong this time is just to breathe a sigh of air, neither land, nor people, but also send a large sum of money, fighting this battle, that is the festival to make you the most profitable. Say something to the Jiedu envoy again, Gan Xianggong said, if this is defeated, then give you 500,000 guan to the jiedu, which is added before and after, but one million guan. ”

Dong Yu laughed: "You, you said it so nicely, if it weren't for the defeat in the north and the successive defeats, would your family be able to think of my family?" Your family Gan Xianggong wants the territory of the Achai Ma people, because it is connected to the Western Xia, and your Gan Xianggong wants to directly send troops to the Gansu Military Division and the road of Xiping Mansion. ”

Dong Yu was extremely smart and said Gan Qi's thoughts, but Wang Shao didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said directly: "Jiedu makes Gao Ming, in one word." But now it's different, my family Gan Xianggong wants to destroy Achaima, after all, the festival envoy is a person with us, Achaima's territory is for you, that is also the best, at least the party in the west must not go south, this is also considered to be the festival to contribute to the country. ”

Wang Shao is definitely a good hand at combining vertical and horizontal, and has the legacy of the children of Guigu.

Dong Yu looked at Wang Shao and began to speak bluntly: "If you are stunned and beat Achai Ma people to defeat and retreat, maybe I will help A Chai Ma people, but now I can't even beat A Chai Ma people, which is unexpected." ”

Dong Yu has the ability to speak out, because he is now the most powerful person in Tibet, and there are tens of thousands of people under his command, and he is also courted by the party and the Khitans, and Song also flatters him.

Speaking of which, it is also the result of the current situation, among several big forces, there is an outsider with a lot of power, and he will naturally be courted by several parties. Whoever can win over will naturally have a lot of power.

Only Gan Qi wants to kill this outsider directly, no one wants to win him over, and this outsider doesn't want to make a profit.

said that he couldn't even beat Ah Chai Ma, Wang Shao was not embarrassed, and still smiled: "Jiedu envoy, this plateau is really not a place where my Song people can fight, that is, it is in the lower Qing Tang Dynasty, which is not very high here, and it also makes people feel tired of panting, alas...... The matter of losing the war, and the crime of not war, is actually a geographical difference. ”

This is true, but in fact, Qingtang is not the real Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the altitude here is only a few hundred meters higher than that of Yanzhou. Wang Shao is really not tired from panting. As long as it is not far west from Qingtang, it will immediately go up more than 3,000 meters, and it is the real plateau.

Dong Yu laughed when he sounded: "The place of Tubo, the land is high and bitterly cold, or the Song soil is good, and people are envious." ”

Wang Shao was unhappy when he heard this, but he didn't show it, and smiled: "Maybe this time I killed Achaima, my family is happy, and it is possible to make another official for the Jiedu envoy, maybe when the time comes, the Jiedu envoy can move to Song Tu to live for a while, and it is not necessarily impossible to be a Qinzhou Jiedu envoy." ”

"Really?" Dong Yu obviously didn't believe it, but he still said: "Song Tuhao, as long as your father-in-law speaks, this soldier, I'm out, isn't it Achaima?" It just so happens that I also want to solve the matter of Achaima, but ah, I also have a request. ”

Dong Yu didn't believe Wang Shao's words, but he was interested in Song Tu in his heart, and what he thought in his heart was that he would take it himself in the coming day, solve the problem of the Achaima people, and take the Song Tu in the coming day, and he would have one less worries, and he could even directly join forces with the party members.

"I don't know what the envoy of the festival asks, but I just say." Wang Shao was already overjoyed in his heart.

"It's really unbearable to be stunned by such a young general, in case he is easily defeated by Achai Ma people, I will face Achai Ma alone here, since it is a sandwich attack, then both sides have to contribute. Please also ask Gan Xianggong to personally lead the troops to come, so that there is a guarantee. Dong Yu is calculating, and these words also prove that Dong Yu is still optimistic about Gan Qi, after all, Gan Qi defeated Li Liangzuo.

At this point, Wang Shao replied directly: "This matter is not difficult, I promise you for my father-in-law." ”

"Okay, then let's say so, I'll accept the money, and ask Gan Xianggong to prepare the remaining 500,000 yuan." Dong Yu smiled, and the abacus in his heart also played very well, destroying A Chai Ma, getting the population and chassis, taking Ganqi's money, uniting Western Xia, and attacking the Song Dynasty.

Why unite Western Xia? Dong Yu also has a plan in his heart for this kind of thing, Western Xia cannot be destroyed, once Western Xia is destroyed, the Song people will no longer please him. Western Xia is immortal, not only the Song people want to please him, but even the Western Xia wants to please him. Therefore, we have to help the Western Xia defeat the Song people, this is the international pattern of the Gaoming people.

To be honest, this idea is really clever. If Song can't beat Western Xia, he will help Song, and if Western Xia can't beat Song, he will help Western Xia. Both horizontally and vertically will benefit.

Gan Qi clearly saw through this.

Everyone is planning to make a plan, let's see whose abacus can hit the end.

After completing the vertical and horizontal affairs, Wang Shao hurriedly rushed back.

Wang Shao was also worried in his heart, worried that Gan Qi was unwilling to go west to the plateau, and worried that something would go wrong with what he promised for Gan Qi.

So when Wang Shao saw Gan Qi, he wanted to try to analyze everything clearly.

Unexpectedly, Wang Shao didn't analyze it yet, and as soon as he said the matter, Gan Qi said: "Okay, this matter is well done, and the temporary decision is also very good, since you want me to go, then I will go for a trip, it is inconvenient to return to Beijing at this time." ”

Gan Qi is really inconvenient to go back to Beijing, why? Because he was waiting for Zhao Shu to die, it wasn't long before Zhao Shu was supposed to die, and before Gan Qi left Beijing, Zhao Shu began to cough constantly. Gan Qi wanted to wait until Zhao Shu died before returning to Beijing.

Wang Shao didn't expect Gan Qi to be so easy to speak, and he didn't blame him for being messy, and he couldn't help but admire Gan Qi more in his heart, and said, "Xie Xianggong lifts up." ”

The stunned expression on the side became a little weird, Gan Qi looked at the stunned, and said: "But this war, it's still a kind of general, I'll go and look around, just to see the customs of the plateau." ”

The stunned expression immediately looked good, he had a desire to show in his heart, for fear that the opportunity would be gone, but the opportunity was still there at this time, and he hurriedly said: "The last general must live up to the importance of the minister." ”

At this time, more than 20 days have passed in Bianliang, and Zhao Shu is also wondering, wondering why he has not received the news of Gan Qi's class teacher, and he can't help but have some doubts in his heart.

Zhao Shu, who couldn't stop coughing, summoned Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo to the front again.
