Xiao Yu resigned as prime minister, but he could still be given the title of prince and young master, and he was awarded the title of Duke of Germany, which shows that he did not offend the emperor. When the prime ministers saw Xiao Yu's result, they were actually quite sighing, no matter what, the prime minister of the dignified political affairs hall and the Chinese scholar, even if they go to the prime minister, they really shouldn't be guilty, let alone derogatory places.

Now, although he wants to leave Beijing and go to the country of Qilian Mountain, it cannot be regarded as a derogatory.

Thousands of households are really sealed, and hundreds of miles are sealed, this is the third official prince of the imperial court, the first two are the emperor's brothers, and Xiao Yu is the first prince with a different surname.

The next day.

The emperor issued an edict and awarded Fang Xuanling as the Zhongshu waiter, and Chen Shuda as the servant of the door.

In this way, the two Zhongshu attendants are Hou Mo Chen Yi and Fang Xuanling, the two subordinate servants are Wei Zheng and Chen Shuda, the left and right servants are Du Ruhui and Wang Ziming, and the privy envoy Zhang Xutuo, the military department Shangshu Wei Wensheng, the official department Shangshu Qu Tutong, the imperial historian Du Yan, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy Cheng Wen Yanbo, and the eleven prime ministers of the political hall are ready again.

Xiao Yu's phase removal did not affect any big repercussions.

Zhang Xutuo and Wei Wensheng, the two prime ministers, also went to the front line of Jincheng County and Wuwei County respectively, and Qin Qiongwei Chi Gong and other five tiger generals also rushed to Qinghai Lake.

Every day, flying pigeons are sent to the front line.

Qin Qiong repeated his confidence several times in his recital to the emperor.

"This battle will be won!"

The war machine of the Great Qin Empire has been fully activated.

Along the two routes of Longyou and Hexi, countless heavy grains and grass, soldiers, and people gathered at Qinghai Lake.

The counties of Lintao, Xiping, and Douhe in the frontier have also comprehensively strengthened their war preparedness.

All the way, people are constantly converging in Qinghai Fuqi City.

In the city of Chang'an.

The emperor summoned Tang Jian, who had just returned to Chang'an from Qinghai.

Facing this somewhat bold envoy, Luo Cheng asked him to wait outside the palace for two hours before summoning him.

"Tang Jian, you are so bold!"

Tang Jian knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Tuyuhun has the ambition of a wolf, and instead of being passive with others, it is better to strike first and take the initiative in his hands." ”

"But you didn't succeed, even if you have a plan, you should first present it to the imperial court, and then the imperial court will plan it. If this matter had been planned by the imperial court, there would have been no such failure. It is absolutely impossible to let Murong Ke, Murong Anyuan, King Tianzhu and others escape, leading to today's Qinghai Rebellion! ”

However, although he reprimanded Tang Jian, Luo Cheng did not condemn him in the end.

After all, he was far away in Tuyuhun at that time, thousands of miles away from the capital, and in some cases he didn't have time to ask for the back, although he was a little bolder, but as an envoy and general, sometimes he did need this kind of decisive power.

Although he failed, he can't be blamed entirely.

"Tang Jian, I will now give you a chance to atone for your sins, south of Jishi Mountain is the Dangxiang Qiang Division, and now most of the Dangxiang Qiang are moved by Tubo and send troops to the north to attack, I will send you to secretly go to the Dangxiang Qiang Department to bring my will."

Dangxiangqiang is south of Tuyuhun, close to Sichuan, sandwiched between Tuyuhun and Subi, and now Subi is annexed by Tubo, so the two major tribes of Dangxiangqiang and Bailanqiang are directly connected with Tubo.

Because these Qiang tribes are located in remote and wild places, they are very barbaric, and they have some benefits, so they are excited.

This time, I wanted to go north with Tubo to grab a handful.

Luo Cheng asked Tang Jian to send envoys to the Dang Xiang Qiang's fine seal department and other ministries to persuade these party Xiang Qiang to attach to Great Qin, Luo Cheng promised that as long as they were attached to Great Qin and fought with Great Qin against the Tubo and Tuyuhun rebels, then the Subi land occupied by Tubo would be given to them by Great Qin.

In addition, the imperial court will also confer the title of official title of the party and the Qiang ministry, and trade with them, open border markets, and exchange tea for horses. The silk, cloth, salt, wine, etc. of the Central Plains were exchanged for their cattle and horses, furs and other things.

Under normal circumstances, the Central Plains will restrict trade with those tribes, making it difficult for them to obtain enough Central Plains materials they need, thereby restricting their development and growth.

Even some smaller tribes have no qualifications at all, so they can only trade with those big tribes who are qualified to trade with the Central Plains, and trade at a higher cost.

Not to mention, the conferral of the Central Plains is very valuable, if they can get the canonization of the Central Plains and get the banner of the Central Plains, they can sometimes order the surrounding small tribes, and even use the banner of the Central Plains court to conquer those hostile forces, and ordinary people dare not interfere.

Of course, after all, the party item Zhuqiang had already agreed to the Tubo people's request to send troops, so it was not easy to successfully convince the party members.

"If you succeed in persuading the party to join Zhuqiang, I will not blame the past, if you can't do it, then the new account and the old account will be counted together, and the two crimes will be punished together, are you willing?"

Tang Jian immediately said, "The minister is willing to atone for his sins and send the party to Xiangqiang!" ”

Luo Cheng smiled and nodded, "Since that's the case, then step down!" ”

Dangxiang is also a branch of the Xiqiang, so it is also called Dangxiang Qiang, and they are famous for their history because they later established the Western Xia State in Gansu.

However, in the earliest days, the Qiang people mainly originated in the Yellow River area in the southeast of Qinghai, that is, in the area of Heyuan County at this time.

During the Han Dynasty, a large number of Qiang people moved to the area of Helong and Guanzhong, but the Dangxiang people have always stayed in the Maijishan area at the source of the Yellow River, living a primitive nomadic tribe life without knowing the crops and the age of the grass and trees.

They divided the unit by tribe, and used the surname as the tribal name, and by this time, the eight departments of the party were gradually formed.

Among them, the Tuoba clan and the fine seal clan are the strongest.

Historically, they were also attached to the Tang Dynasty and moved inward, and slowly and gradually concentrated in eastern Gansu and northern Shaanxi, and later by the end of the Tang Dynasty Huangchao Rebellion, the party Xiang Youzhou Thorn Shi Tuoba Sigong sent troops to the king of Qin, and was given the title of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to make the military festival envoy, the Duke of Xia, and gave the surname Li.

As for the party members, they finally stepped onto the political stage, and during the period from the late Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties, they gradually controlled the land of several states, mastered military power, and became the feudal towns and heroes of the separatist side.

And in the Northern Song Dynasty, he rebelled against the Song Dynasty and established Western Xia.

But at this time, Dangxiang Qiang can only be regarded as a relatively backward branch of the Qiang, and there are a large number of Qiang people in the west of the Guanlong River, many of whom moved inward during the Han Dynasty, and they are already familiar with the Qiang.

But Dang Xiangqiang has always stayed in his hometown at the source of the Yellow River, living a backward and primitive nomadic life, but these people are very fierce and ferocious.

If you can rebel against these party members, you will be able to stab Tubo at that time.

As for if the party is attached to Xiangqiang and has to be granted an official fief, will it take the opportunity to rise and secede like the late Tang Dynasty in history, this is a matter for the future, Luo Cheng believes that under normal circumstances, it is impossible for them to have such an opportunity again.

Luo Cheng also sent several other envoys to Bailanqiang, Duomi, and the eight countries of Xishan in the Dongnu Kingdom, all of which were the Qiang tribes north and east of Subi, and most of them submitted to Tubo after Tubo conquered Subi.

However, it still retained its de facto independent status, and Luo Cheng also hoped that through diplomatic means, he could instigate these Western Qiang states to annex Great Qin and counterattack Tibet.

And before he left Luoyang, he also sent an envoy to Mobei to send an edict to King Xue Yantuo Khan, so that the King of Mobei Khan, who was attached to Great Qin, sent troops to the Western Turks.

He even sent two missions pretending to be caravans, intending to go west, beyond the Western Turk-controlled Western Regions, to Persia and Rome respectively, to send envoys to the two countries, and form an alliance with them to deal with the Western Turks together.

The enemy of the enemy is a friend, Luo Cheng doesn't mind pulling a few more helpers, he just wants to end this war as soon as possible, because the current Great Qin can't afford to drag it out.
