"King Qin Chitose, can you agree to this request!" A group of people knelt on the ground and dissuaded one after another.

Guo Ye raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Are you worried about my safety?" ”

Li Yifu said: "This trip is too dangerous. Who knows if what Yang Sheng said is true or false? What if he colluded with Bai Man and wanted to trick you into the past? ”

Guo Ye shook his head lightly and said, "This is unlikely. Even if he succeeds in his plan, he will only kill me, and there are many generals in the court who can conquer and fight. How will he cope with another one? ”

"Not really. Killing you will make there no longer trust between the wingmen, and the wingmen who have been pacified will also rebel. With the support of these people, Yang Sheng's wingman is worthy of his name again. When the time comes, when the wingmen hide in the mountains, what can the imperial army do? ”

"There's some truth to that." Guo Ye groaned: "However, this is just your guess. What if what Yang Sheng said is true? Isn't it a great opportunity to appease them? ”

"What's that? The reason why you want to appease Yang Sheng is just because you don't want to be stained with the blood of the wingmen. Now it's Bai Man who wants to take the wingman under the knife, what's your business? The wingman is not popular, so he can go and fight the white barbarians. If you want me to say, let Bai Man destroy Yang Sheng, so as not to dirty your hands. ”

"No, no, no, you're wrong." Guo Yedao: "The bureaucrats are also my people of the Tang Dynasty, how can I bear to see them as slaves of the barbarians?" ”

Li Yifu was quite unimpressed, and said, "You are too roundabout ...... The woman's kindness. ”

Guo Ye shook his head and said, "In addition to this reason, there is another reason why I have to go." ”

"What is the reason?"

"This time I was ordered to quell the rebellion, and before leaving, His Majesty gave me a task, that is, to take Erhai Tongtianzhu Pingbaiman. The best way to accomplish this task is to make an alliance with the White Barbarians. Now that the opportunity is in front of me, how can I miss it? ”

"This ......" Li Yifu is also a person with a very strong heart for fame, and when he heard that it was about His Majesty Li Er, he didn't insist so much.

He thought for a moment and said, "Then how sure can you be when you go to the alliance?" ”

Guo Ye smiled bitterly: "I have a black eye for Bai Man, and now I can say that I am not sure, I can only go to improvisation." However, although it is not very certain, again, the danger is not as great as you think. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"I'm going to the Alliance, and I'm bringing a thousand elites. Even if they really have any crooked intentions, they can't beat them, but they can always run back. ”

Li Yifu shook his head and said, "You are still too confident. I've heard that you have relied on a handful of elite men to fight your way out of the encirclement, and in many cases you have even been able to turn defeat into victory and disgrace your enemies. But this time is completely different from the previous ones. ”

"What's the difference?"

"You used to be so proud because of the plains and easy access. But what about this place now? The mountains are high and densely forested, and the roads are difficult to navigate. If you're not familiar with the path, you can't even walk out, so why talk about escaping? ”

"If you say that, I still can't go?"

Li Yifu said: "Since Your Majesty has a life, how dare you spare your life for the country?" The younger brother thinks that it is better for you to go, but you can't go like this. Before you go, there are three things you can do. ”

"Which three are ready?"

Li Yifu asked, "Junior brother has heard someone say in Chang'an City, do you have a way to restrain acne?" ”

"There is such a thing, and its legal name is pox. To put it bluntly, it's worthless, it's the ...... from the pox cow"

Li Yifu waved his hand and said, "You don't have to explain it to me in detail, you just have this method." Now the pox planting technique has not even reached the South Sword Dao, let alone the White Barbarian Land. We can send some people to the White Barbarian Land to promote the technique of planting pox. ”

"You mean to preach my kindness?"

"Uh...... Not exactly. The younger brother went to see Yang Sheng twice, and had some contact with Bai Man on the way, and had some understanding of their customs and customs. The white barbarians believe in many gods, but the one they believe in the most is a god called Daikokuten. ”

"Big Black Sky? What does this god do? Where did it come from? ”

"It is said that one day the Emperor of Heaven heard the false accusation of the god and felt that the people were deeply guilty, so he sent the Great Black God in charge of the plague and gave him a bottle of poison, as long as it was sown, the world would be full of plagues, and no one would be spared."

"And then?"

Later, when the great black sky came to the world, he saw the father, the son, the filial husband, and the wife in the world, which was completely different from what the ear reported to God. He could not bear the suffering of the people, and he did not dare to disobey the order of the emperor, so he ate the bottle of poison himself, and his whole body turned black and died. The white barbarians felt their kindness and sacrificed for generations. ”

Guo Ye hesitated: "Is there anything to use for this Great Black Heavenly God?" ”

"Absolutely. We can get the people sent out to plant pox to claim that you are the reincarnation of the Great Black Celestial God. If you can restrain the plague that has plagued the people for thousands of years, what are you not a god? And Daikokuten turned out to be the god of plague, which is not far-fetched. ”

"This is an idea, which makes me have some prestige among the white barbarians, even if it is to escape for my life, it is a little more convenient. But ......"

"How?"

Guo Ye said: "This is just better than nothing." Yang Sheng leveled the Zhuwang Temple, and he didn't see the bureaucrats detached from morality. If you want to rely on this to influence the decision of the Fu clan, I'm afraid it's still a little insufficient. ”

"Don't worry, this is my first idea. I have a second idea. ”

"What's the second method?"

"Bai Man is not monolithic, there are many internal clans, and the Fu clan is just the most powerful tribe. If the position of the leader of the Fu clan can be unstable, presumably they will not dare to make a mistake. ”

"But how do you make their position unstable?"

"With money, copper to be exact. Among the White Barbarian tribes, the most revered thing is the copper drum. The larger and more numerous the copper drums of which tribe, the more revered they are. The reason why the Fu clan is revered as the head of the white barbarians is mainly because they have the most copper drums in their tribe. ”

Guo Yedao: "You mean to let me give other tribes copper drums?" ”

"Yes. Not only to send, but also to send more, to make the Fu family feel threatened. ”

Hearing this, Li Yuankui snorted coldly and said, "Governor Li, your method is too whimsical. Sending copper drums can calm the white barbarians? How can no one else come up with such a simple solution? Are you the only smart person in the world? ”

"This ...... Could it be that someone Li has some inconsiderate considerations? ”

"It's just so inconsiderate. The bronze drum of Baiman requires that the entire drum is made of bronze, with a minimum of hundreds of catties and a maximum of nearly a thousand catties. A good brass drum is worth thousands of cattle. Where do you find so much copper? ”

"It's just about money. Even if a copper drum uses thousands of catties of copper, it is less than a thousand yuan. Can't even get this money? ”

"Of course, the money can be taken out, but the copper of our Jiannan Road is different from the copper of Baiman, you can see it at a glance. The copper drum made of our copper is not recognized by the white barbarians. Of course, there is always some white copper flowing into Jiannan Dao, but if you want to cast copper drums, I am afraid it is not enough at all. ”

Guo Ye knows that the so-called difference in copper between the two places is mostly due to the difference in copper mines, which contain different impurities.

He said: "I understand, in fact, what the various departments of the White Barbarians have to compete with is actually the ability of each department to make copper drums, not the copper drums themselves. It's hard for us outsiders to interfere. ”

"Exactly."

"That's going to be easy."

"Good...... Easy to do? What do you mean by that? ”

Guo Ye said: "Brother Li's method can't work, but it's okay to change it slightly." Instead of giving money to other tribes, we are going to teach them techniques to increase copper production. When it comes to the art of smelting, is it possible that Bai Man is still comparable to us Han people? ”
