"If Li Jingang's rebels take over Xijing, will it be a good thing or a bad thing for us?" Chiluo Wutugu Chanyu frowned.
Hu Yan Gu rushed to speak first this time: "It's a good thing at the moment, but if Li Jingang becomes powerful in the future and even overthrows the Dayin court, it will be a bad thing for us."
"What do you mean?" Chiluo Wutugu Chanyu's eyes lit up and he asked immediately.
"Dayin is now devoting its best troops to quell the rebellion, leaving its border defenses empty. This will of course be very beneficial for us to march south to Dayin."
Hu Yan Gu flaunted his shrewd mind, "But if Li Jingang becomes powerful and overthrows Dayin, we will be facing a new and warlike force."
"If we want to gain more benefits from the Dayin people, it will probably be difficult."
Everyone nodded in agreement, except Han Yanshou, who disagreed:
"Great Chanyu, why don't we take advantage of the conflict between Dayin and Li Jingang to lead our troops south and capture their capital. You can be the Chanyu of both the grasslands and the Central Plains."
Han Yanshou was originally from Dayin Yanyun Dao. He failed in the imperial examination, so he went to the grassland to help King Loufan with his plans.
He dreamed that one day he would be able to return to Yanyun Road and make those who looked down on him kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.
Upon hearing this, Chiluo Wutugu Chanyu's heart was pounding.
I heard that the Central Plains is a world of beauty and the women there are all beautiful and charming, and they are all juicy when squeezed!
The women on the grassland are all extremely rough.
If you become the emperor of the Central Plains, wouldn’t you be able to have whatever you want?
Chiluo Wutugu Chanyu suddenly straightened his body, his burly figure standing up like an arhat, his eyes filled with greed and ambition:
"That's not impossible! We've been staying in such an extremely cold place like Mobei for so long, why not go to the Central Plains and take a look!"
"King Zhelan, King Loufan! Listen carefully. Whether it was the battle of Shuozhou or the battle of Yuzhou, they are both heavy lessons. This Chanyu hopes that you two will regain your spirits, work hard, and prepare for our military campaign in the autumn."
"By that time, all your losses will be doubled back."
Upon hearing this, King Zhelan and King Loufan were immediately invigorated: "We will obey the orders of the Great Chanyu!"
Chiluo Wutugu Chanyu then looked at Han Yanshou and Huyan Gu:
"Leave the task of bribing and infiltrating Dayin to Han Wangxiang! And the task of gathering intelligence on Dayin and Li Jingang and closely monitoring their movements will be the responsibility of Huyan Wangxiang. I hope you won't let this Chanyu down."
"Go south to Dayin in the future, and you will enjoy endless wealth and splendor."
Han Yanshou and Huyan Gu were also very excited and responded loudly.
Chiluo Wutugu Chanyu encouraged them for a while and gave the two kings a large number of cattle, sheep, slaves, and jewels and jade.
King Zhelan and King Loufan expressed their gratitude profusely.
Immediately, Chiluo Wutugu Chanyu arranged a banquet to entertain the two of them, and they were also accompanied by kings of other territories on the Mobei grassland and important officials of Longcheng.
These kings came to present rare treasures and tributes to the Chanyu Chiluo Wutugu.
The cook roasted a fat sheep, and the slave girl brought out white kumis.
The big tent was immediately filled with the rich aroma of meat and wine.
Then, the chef sprinkled white fine salt on the mutton. As it was roasted over charcoal fire, sizzling oil emerged, making people salivate.
Everyone drank wine, ate meat, and offered endless compliments to Chiluo Wutugu Chanyu.
The atmosphere in the big tent was very warm.
However, in the kitchen, the cooks were angrily scolded by a Tartar who looked like a chief steward: "You really don't use this fine salt as salt! Don't you know that this fine salt is very valuable? One pound of it costs a sheepskin and ten pounds of mutton."
"I recently heard from the salt merchants that the price is going to increase again soon. If the Great Khan knew about this, he would think we got a lot of money out of it!"
The cooks lowered their heads and dared not speak.
Sprinkling so much salt on the roasted lamb was a request from the kings of the big tent!
The Tartar steward just cursed a few words and left in a hurry.
The same scene was played out among the Tatar tribes on the northern and southern grasslands of the desert.
They were all complaining about one thing, that is, the price of the illegal salt smuggled from Dayin had increased again.
But they didn't realize that they could never go back to the days of eating bitter coarse salt.
They never seemed to have thought about what would happen if Dayin stopped smuggling fine salt to them one day.
......
at the same time.
Guannei Road.
Fenghuang Valley is located at the junction of Fangzhou and Xijing.
Li Jingang's army surged like a tide.
Their destination was Bailuyuan outside Xijing City.
One of Li Jingang's four kings, the fierce general Niu Desheng led an army of 100,000 to break through the Phoenix Valley Pass, then advanced to Xijing and stationed on Bailuyuan.
Niu Desheng's army of 100,000 appeared near Xijing, causing an earthquake in Xijing.
Countless wealthy people fled with their families, while the common people welcomed them with food and drink.
Li Jingang's military advisor Yang Yan tailored the rebellion slogan for the rebel army: Jingang comes without paying taxes, which is too lethal.
From Fangzhou to Xijing, countless oppressed people joined the rebel army.
The number of people grew like a snowball.
Since the rebel army refused to pay taxes but had to support so many people, they targeted the landlords, wealthy families, and the government of Dayin.
Kill the landlords, capture the government offices, and open the granaries to distribute grain.
Extreme panic had already occurred in the city of Xijing, and emergency documents were flying to the capital like snowflakes.
Originally, these emergency documents should have been handled by Tian Zunxian, the governor of Guannei Road.
