Volume 4 Southwest Raiders Chapter 315 Breaking the Tang Alliance (II)
"Patriarch Yang, what you said is a bit alarmist."
As soon as Yang Jianting's words came out, some people quickly spoke out against it: "No matter how domineering the Tang Sect is, its strength is only in Yizhou after all, can it really send troops and horses to my southern Sichuan?" ”
"Why, doesn't the Wu patriarch know that the Tang Sect and the northern Sichuan tribes have formed an alliance early?" Yang Jianting said with a serious expression, "If it weren't for the full support of the two major tribes of Mu and Long, where would the Tang Sect dare to attack my idea of southern Sichuan?" ”
"That's right!" Sun Ning also followed up to adjust his mentality, and added loudly, "You may not know yet, in fact, the ambition of the Tang Sect is not just a Sichuan Shu, they have even extended their hands to the Xianghu area, wanting to take Yanzhou into their pockets." ”
In everyone's stunned expression, Sun Ning told the series of changes that happened in Yanzhou, only to make everyone stunned for a while, and their hearts were cold.
If this is true, then the ambition of the Tang Sect is indeed far greater than that of these barbarian tribes who just want to take some benefits and live in peace.
And once a group with great ambitions discovers that there is disobedience around them, how can they turn a blind eye and let it live?
Everyone is a leader, and they are not stupid, and the truth in this naturally does not need Sun Ning to say too clearly.
For a while, the atmosphere in the hall was much more solemn, and Yang Jianting continued: "As for the major tribes in northern Sichuan, I think they will definitely be happy to see the Tang Sect as this bird!"
"Now that the situation in the Central Plains is chaotic, and all forces are taking the opportunity to expand, it doesn't matter if our departments are content with the status quo, but they in northern Sichuan, or the two major tribes of Qianzhou and southern Yunnan behind them, may not be able to continue to forbear, and only guard their own one-third of an acre!
"It can be said that this time we rejected the Tang Gate, and killed the people of the Tang Gate, which is to form a great enmity with the northern Sichuan clan, if we can't unite quickly, while they are not yet prepared to expand themselves, and when they react, it will be a large army coming to the city!"
Speaking of this, he shook again: "Patriarchs, leaders, even the solidity of my Banzhou city dare not say that it can withstand the attack of such a large army. How should the small cities and counties under your subordinates protect themselves in the face of their counterattack?
"So this time, if you advance, you still have the chance to fight, but retreating, but even the preservation of the clan has become a luxury!
"That's all I say, it's up to you how you choose. Anyway, I, Banzhou, have decided to belong to the imperial court from now on and act at the behest of His Majesty the Emperor! ”
This time, the leaders no longer opened their mouths to refute, but fell into deep thought.
The situation is indeed more dangerous than they imagined, and it seems that they will not take the initiative to attack, and the next thing is to be beaten passively.
And it's like scattered sand, and it was broken by the northern Sichuan tribes, which is really unacceptable.
But the problem is that they are still wary of the Dayue court and the Han people, for fear that the other party will just use themselves, and when the time comes, they will get in the whole clan, but in exchange for a clan to die.
Sun Ning looked at their tangled expressions, and quickly understood their concerns, so after coughing dryly, he spoke again:
"Your embarrassment can also be understood, I can make a contract with you on behalf of the imperial court, as long as you can help the imperial court pacify Sichuan and Shu, then you are all Dayue heroes, and then everyone can be knighted, and the imperial court can also promise you, in the next fifty years, all officials in Sichuan and Shu will be appointed according to the wishes of your various ethnic groups, and no more officials will be sent to interfere in local government affairs.
"Moreover, when the cities of the northern Sichuan tribes were captured later, the imperial court only took 30% of the goods and grain, and the rest were divided by your various ministries through negotiation......
In order to pull these people to stand on the same camp, Sun Ning made the biggest concession this time.
It can be said that once he really does what he says, then Sichuan and Shu in the future will become a country within a country in the middle of the world, and it will not be restricted by the imperial court than before.
And the tribal leaders among them, such as you now, will have unlimited power here, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the emperor of the soil.
The leaders who received such a promise were finally tempted.
Even they know very well that whether or not they have the approval of the imperial court has a great relationship with whether they can really control all parts of Sichuan and Shu, even if they are barbarians, they also have to be justified.
"Are you serious, have you done the Lord?" One of the leaders asked aloud on behalf of the crowd.
"Naturally, when I came, Your Majesty has entrusted me with full authority, as long as this alliance is successful, and in the future can sweep away the rebellion in northern Sichuan, then the court will not forget your great achievements, and it is natural to give a Sichuan Shu as a reward."
Under the threat of huge hidden dangers in the front and the temptation of heavy rewards and knighthoods, these leaders of various departments were finally completely moved.
Soon, someone patted his chest and said: "Since the imperial court has expressed such a statement, I, the Qianchuan Division, am willing to follow the imperial court and go north together to resist the rebellion of the Tang Sect and other ministries!" ”
"It's the same with our Uyan Division!"
"And we ......"
After someone took the lead, several leaders stood up one after another to express their attitude, and the generous voice in the hall suddenly rang out.
Sun Ning grinned, and solemnly clenched his fists: "It is really a blessing for the court that you can have such a heart, and I think Your Majesty will be quite pleased if he knows this result." ”
As he spoke, he swept over the crowd again: "Since this is the case, then from today onwards, our ten departments and Yuzhou soldiers and horses will be completely allied, and we must also have a unified name." In order to think, since we have a common enemy, the Tang Sect, we call it the Tang Alliance, how about it? ”
Naturally, these barbarians had no more opinions on this kind of naming, and they all praised it one after another.
So, just as Sun Ning raised his glass again, and everyone followed suit, this Tang Dynasty Breaking Alliance composed of the ten departments in southern Sichuan and the Vietnamese army was officially established.
At the moment, it is natural to change the glasses again, toast each other, and express their respective positions. It wasn't until the sky was a little cloudy outside, that the leaders of the cadre clan were each drunk, and their steps were supported by their subordinates, and they returned to their own places to rest.
And Sun Ning, at this time, only felt that his head was a little heavy, and his walking was not so neat.
Fortunately, Zhuge Qingyun came over in time to help, so that he didn't make a fool of himself.
It wasn't until the two of them also moved to the cross-courtyard where they temporarily settled in their own house that Zhuge Qingyun stopped slightly, looked at Sun Ning with some hesitation, wanted to say something, but didn't dare to speak.
"Just say what you have......" Although Sun Ning was deeply drunk, after walking for a while, his mind cleared up, and he naturally found the other party's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping.
