"Let the brothers in Xiazhou pay close attention to the mobilization of the Dangxiang tribe. In addition, Lanzhou will send another large caravan to Dunhuang in a month, with the goods worth millions of yuan, so that Hanchan can release the news." Hanchan is a secret stake in the Brotherhood lurking in Xiazhou. In the entire Xiazhou, more than a dozen Sogdians and Jiangnan merchants were in contact with him, and through these merchants and several times, they maintained a relationship with this number of Dangxiang heads.

In the eyes of the leaders of Dangxiang tribes in Xiazhou, Hanchan is a great merchant from Jiangnan. He has the best tea and Shu brocade in his hands, and can eat the green salt in their hands and resell it to the mainland. Recently, Hanchan is also interested in purchasing female slaves of all ethnic groups in the Dangxiang tribe, saying that he would send them to Bianliang to please the nobles after training. Hanchan did not know high-level figures such as Li Jiqian in Xiazhou, so that he would be more likely to expose his identity, but the mobilization mechanism of the Dangxiang tribe allowed him to easily understand Dazhong.

In the mobilization of large-scale tribes, many tribe leaders negotiated with merchants in advance; the plundered goods and the price of slaves, and some even asked caravans to send large chariots to follow the army. Not only did Lanzhou know the movements of Dangxiang, but the reason why the imperial border towns won more than the Dangxiang people was mostly related to these tribe leaders who were asking for money was that they were unable to do anything about the business of the imperial border towns and Dangxiang tribes. However, now the imperial border towns and Dangxiang tribes have many restrictions on their business, which made them more dependent on the caravans sent by Lanzhou.

A day later, in a manor outside Xiazhou City, the morning sun penetrated the willows, and the morning breeze was cool and moist. A pigeon flapped his wings and landed obediently on the platform where the pigeon cage was extended. The servants who were waiting by the pigeon loft day and night immediately picked it up from the pigeon cage. One person took off a thatched pipe tied to the pigeon's legs, walked quickly into the house, handed it to a middle-aged businessman who was checking the account book, and bowed and retreated.

The middle-aged man has excellent skin care, just like a fair face, but his figure is a bit thin. His eyebrows are very thick, and his eyes are hazy as if there is always a layer of mist, which makes people unable to guess. He is Chen De's old follower in the Jinling Divine Guard Army, and he is also the owner of the Dakuihe Business Name, a guest of the heads of all tribes of Dangxiang Qiang, Han Chan, and his pseudonym Jin Luoan.

He first carefully checked the detailed beeswax patterns outside the spear, then gently removed the wax, tore the thatched tube, and dozens of numbers were written on a thin piece of white silk. There was a thousand-character text in the mountain-stacked book on Jin Luoan's desk. He checked the corresponding Chinese characters according to these numbers and put them back. After pondering for a while, he shouted to come in.

"Tell all the officials, there are also Sogdian merchants who have related to us, who have goods to go to the Western Regions with them, and set off as soon as possible this month. If they ask the reason, they will say that the Lanzhou caravan will have millions of coins out of the bus next month, and we must ship them in front of them." Jin Luoan lightly ordered his subordinates to follow him, and said in a deep voice: "Also, all the goods that are ready to be shipped to Xiazhou in the next two months are cancelled. First, stock up in Shu for a few months. The Lanzhou caravan has such a large volume, and even if our goods are shipped to Dunhuang, it will be difficult to buy a good price."

Even if he was close to him, his servants knew that Jin Luoan was a great merchant in the south of the Yangtze River. After Jinling was captured by the Song army, merchants from the north, with the support of the Song army, made southern merchants complain. Although it was only a matter of time before and after using silver to connect the bureaucrats from the north, they failed to take the lead compared with the merchants from Zhongzhou who went south.

Jin Luoan had a foresight and moved most of his property to Bashu, which the Northern Song people had captured earlier. He was a foreign vendor and worked with foreign officials of the Song Dynasty to trade brocade, tea and private salt back and forth between Shu and the northwest states. In the past six months, he actually made his business prosperous in Shu. Recently, Jin Luoan fell in love with the trafficking business borrowed from Dunhuang, so he set up a warehouse in Xiazhou. He was generous, not as petty, dared to take responsibility, and had a vaguely erect information channels and business information, and had a vaguely erectile silence in Xiazhou businessmen.

Jin Luoan was selected into the Brotherhood by Chen De in Runzhou and was ordered to go to Bashu for business, Chen De explained to him that he would only do "legitimate" business and not deliberately inquire about military and national affairs, because all military and national affairs would appear from the movement of some subtle materials and personnel. Moreover, Bashu was just a springboard for Jin Luoan to "bleach" himself. At most, Xiazhou Dangxiang tracked down the road led by the Yizhou government of the Song Dynasty, but he never expected that he was a spy from Lanzhou.

The news that Lanzhou will make a large-scale outgoing pass next month Jin Luoan secretly spread it through the commercial network he came into contact with. At the same time, under the instruction of Kangqudagan, some Sogdian merchants complained to the Dangxiang Qiang heads without any hesitation because the Lanzhou caravan transported and sold Chinese and earth goods from Helan Mountain and the north of Yinshan Mountain to Dunhuang, which lowered the price for sale. The Sogdian caravan could not make much money through the road to the Hexi Corridor through Xiazhou. Many other caravans also considered diverting the route outside the border, and the goods on the Xiazhou road will become less and less. In fact, in the past six months, under the planning of Kangqudagan, the Sogdian caravan's goods were diverted to Lanzhou to go out of the border, and the commercial taxes drawn by the heads of the Dangxiang Qiang tribes were also less and less.

"If this continues, you will sooner or later drink the northwest wind." Li Keshun sat on a low stool, and the accountant who was in charge came to report that the commercial tax received in Yinzhou this month was reduced by nearly half. It is said that it was caused by the Han Dynasty's Lanzhou organization of cargo carriages carrying Middle-earth goods to divert the way outside the border. Isn't this snatching food from the bowl of the Dangxiang people? Half a year ago, Li Jiqian led a group of iron kites to snatch a large caravan in Lanzhou from the border and came back safely, which made Li Keshun feel itchy, "Even if you can't grab things, it's good to scare those timid merchants, and tell them to dare to take the road to the north."

Sitting in front of Li Keshun was the governor of Yinchuan, Li Keyuan, who also frowned. Li, the Tuoba family, was different from those of the Dangxiang barbarians and Qiang people who did not know poetry and books. Tuoba family was a descendant of the Great Wei royal family who owned the world hundreds of years ago. After the death of Li Kerui, Kerui's eldest son Li Jiyun inherited the position of Dingnan Jiedu, Li Kexian, the governor of Suizhou, Li Keyuan, the governor of Yinchuan, and Li Keshun, Li Kewen, these uncles did not obey his orders, and the five states of Dingnan were actually doing their own affairs.

"Our Yinzhou is in the south of Xiazhou. If we cross Xiazhou to rob the northern commercial road, it would be a bit inappropriate. I'm afraid that Jifeng's nephew would say again." Li Keyuan pondered. He was not like the silent and gloomy Li Jifeng, nor was he liked to plan and move.

"What's the difficulty? I guess the situation in Suizhou is similar to ours. I asked Kexian to bring our Iron Harrier with me and gather some tribal warriors in Dijinze. As long as there are more than 5,000, it is enough to take down the caravans in Lanzhou. Our uncles from Yinzhou and Suizhou act together. Even if they are unhappy, they can only endure it." Li Keshun paused and whispered: "Jiyun's nephew is cowardly and incompetent, Jifeng is short-sighted, Jiqian is a wolf cub. He always takes Dijinze's head man and Iron Harrier to win battles, and his reputation is getting higher and higher." Speaking of this, his tone was quite annoying. After all, it is not easy for anyone to make a child under the age of sixteen surpass his uncle.

"Chen De of Lanzhou has just arrived. He thought that with the support of the Khitans, he could walk outside the Great Wall without restraint. He should really beat him up," Li Keyuan also said viciously. In the past six months, Yinzhou has lost hundreds of thousands of yuan in investment, and all of them are counted on Chen De. "But even the court is afraid of angering the Khitans."

"Brother, why worry? The court is preparing for war every day. Just waiting for Taiyuan to pacify, and will attack Yanyun in the north. Today is different from the past. Even the Great Liao Kingdom is afraid of the court." Li Keshun said loudly, "If Chen De continues to do this, the Han caravans will change to Lanzhou. When the court takes Hedong, they will accept it. I will not defeat the farming of the five states in the five states, and they will not defeat the grazing of the outside world. They are sparsely populated, and there will be no profits from business travel. What can I use to conquer the various divisions of the Dangxiang Qiang people, and what can I use to seize the world and restore the great cause of Emperor Taiwu and Emperor Xiaowen!" Because there were only two brothers here, Kexian was reluctant to make a decision, Li Keshun was a little excited as he spoke. The great cause of restoration was pressed on the shoulders of these descendants of Tuoba.

"Okay, it's just a plundering caravan. Why are you doing this?" Li Keyuan frowned. This younger brother's temper is reckless, but among his brothers, the one who is willing to rely on him is Keshun, who is better than him since childhood. "You send an envoy to discuss with Kexian first. If he agrees to send troops, I will give you two hundred iron kites and one thousand state troops to go out of the frontier, joining with Keyuan's people, and then recruit some tribal warriors in Dijinze to deal with the two thousand escorted soldiers in Lanzhou. It is enough." He also thought in his heart that he would send troops out of the frontier to plunder the caravan. Even if the troops escorted by Lanzhou were only two thousand, he could find out clearly.

A few days later, in the Xiazhou City Jiedushi's mansion, a young man with a pale face but gloomy eyes angrily threw the secret report on the table and cursed: "The two old dogs, Kexian and Keyuan, dared to send troops out of the frontier without my consent." One hand slapped the iron-wood table and then started coughing violently. Li Jiyun was already weak, but her chest was still the ambition passed down by the Tuoba clan ancestors. She couldn't stand the unauthorized actions of several uncles. These internal frictions weakened the power of the Li clan for no reason.

"Brother, don't worry, your health is important." Yanei commander Li Jifeng looked at Jiyun's health getting worse day by day, but he was afraid that he would not last this year. He suppressed the joy in his heart and looked worried on his face. "Since Kexian still wants to inform us of this matter and invite him to send troops together, it means that he has not completely surrendered to the old dog Keyuan. Why not let my brother take five hundred iron kites to fight with them, so as not to lose the reputation of Xiazhou." He said this,

The plan of Zhong was that he did not want Li Jiqian to be compared among his brothers in this generation. Li Jiqian could be said to be an alternative to the Dangxiang Li family. Not only did he not have the aristocratic style of Tuoba clan that had been sinicized for a long time, he hanged with the barbarian Xiang Qiang people all day long, making himself the same as the Qiang people, but he was very famous among the barbarian tribes under the Tuoba clan. If Li Jifeng did not win a few battles, he would be afraid that his elder brother Jiyun would not be able to suppress Jiqian's majesty once he died.

Author: The chapter on the war with Tuoba Dangxiang is about to begin. The name of Xia Kingdom was passed down from the ancestor of China, Dayu, how could the Tuoba clan betrayed? The entire history of mankind is that the will of the living person ultimately defeat the will of the dead.
