Chapter 1411 The gentle trap

After Wang He's appearance in the Western Regions almost brought the states to the sky.

He brought bad news, a nightmare for the people of the Western Regions, and even the news that Qu Chigan didn't believe in the palace.

The Emperor of the Song Dynasty personally led the army and rushed towards him with a thunderous force of thunder. He almost did not give time to consider the Western Regions at all. This powerful strength and tough attitude were spread by Wang He, the war envoy: Those who follow me will prosper and those who go against me will perish!

This sudden aura of war almost made the countries in the Western Regions breathless, but the first one was the Gaochang Kingdom. This country that had just been revived was extremely panicked when facing the huge Song Dynasty.

Everyone knows the power of the Song Dynasty. This Central Plains dynasty defeated the Western Xia, which had always bullied the Western Regions, and defeated the Liao Dynasty, which once made the world tremble. Then it can be said that this dynasty is the most powerful dynasty in the world, and it is invincible!

It is true. For many years, the Song Dynasty has not been defeated for many years since the emperor ascended the throne!

Although Qu Chigan was a complete speculator, he knew that once he surrendered to the Song Dynasty, Gaochang Kingdom would disappear and become a part of the Song Dynasty, and there would be no possibility of restoring the country from then on.

Although the Western Regions were invaded by the Xixia people and massacred by the Xixia people, they would eventually restore their country one day because the Xixia people would not be able to build the Western Regions without being cut off. However, the Song people were completely different. Qu Chigan saw the destruction of the Xixia people and saw it gradually from Xixia to the Ningxia Road of the Song Dynasty!

Qu Chigan saw clearly and was unwilling to give up the glory, wealth and power he had now. How rich was Gaochang State? The tax revenue from merchants in the Song Dynasty once exceeded 10,000 yuan!

Even the Song Dynasty collected taxes for merchants after Gaochang State. Even if there was no heavy tax on merchants in the Song Dynasty in the first few years, there were too many merchants in the Song Dynasty!

After that, Gaochang even more severely increased taxes and even colluded with the Liao people. In fact, Qu Chigan knew in his heart that everything was Gaochang leading the Western Regions. The situation in the Western Regions today was also what Gaochang did.

Seeing that the Song people were exposed, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was in charge of the army, Qu Chigan had no choice. When he looked at the palace in front of him and the wealth in the palace, the pain in his heart arose, and he even wanted to die.

In Qu Chigan's mind, all this could be avoided. As long as he was not harsh on the Song Dynasty merchants at the beginning, he would not plunder wealth from them too much and did not collude with the Liao people, he would not have the current situation. At least he could continue to collect taxes from the Song Dynasty merchants at the time!

However, he did not think that his greed hurt Gaochang and himself, but was wrong with the Song people. These Song people were so harsh, without even taking any threats, and without any suffering, and were completely inferior to those of the Western Regions!

How many years have the Western Regions been oppressed by the Western Xia? Why can’t the Western Regions bear it?!

A twisted mentality was born in Qu Chigan's heart. Qu Chigan, who was about to suffer a disaster of destroying the country, had no choice but to worry about so much. He could not let go of his power and wealth, decided to fight to the death.

And the best way now is to turn to the Liao Dynasty!

These Khitans have gained a lot of benefits from themselves. If they had not united with the countries in the Western Regions to open up their trade routes, how could the Liao Dynasty have flourished today? Although the prosperity of the Liao Dynasty cannot be compared with the Song Dynasty, it is much better than the Liao Dynasty, which was declining in the past!

All of this is thanks to the Western Regions and Gaochang!

Qu Chigan naturally put all his hopes on the Liao people, because the Liao people now cannot live without the Western Regions and Gaochang. This is the beginning. The Liao people are going to officially appear in the Western Regions and tie them with Gaochang!

Qu Chigan chose the Song Dynasty and chose to deal with the Western Xia, but this time he made another decision, choosing the Liao Dynasty and tied Gaochang and Liao Dynasty together to deal with the Song Dynasty!

This is a crazy but bold plan, and it is Qu Chigan's last attempt, and of course it is his helpless move. He knows the strength gap between Song and Liao, but if he has the chance to be tied to Song, he will choose the Liao Dynasty!

Now he has no choice. This is a drama that has been ruined. Qu Chigan thought that his threat to the Song Dynasty could make the Song people surrender, or let the dynasty send envoys to negotiate, allowing Gaochang and the Song Dynasty to have a new exchange of interests.

But who knew that the Song Dynasty actually protected those merchants in such a way. Qu Chigan's clever plan was Qu Chigan's mind when he used the Liao people as a devil. Who knew that he had lost his mind and that the Song Dynasty was directly under the brink of troops, and there was no possibility of peace talks. He clearly notified the Western Regions that either surrender or perish!

Without a third choice, Qu Chigan believed that only by rising up and resisting in the Western Regions could the final victory be achieved and the Song people could send envoys to negotiate again. If they came up and surrendered, eventually, the rulers of the Western Regions, or more precisely, the rulers of the Western Regions, who were deceived by themselves, would disappear.

So Qu Chigan, the king of Gaochang, wrote the letter of Gaochang's speech to the entire country as quickly as possible. He wanted to unite with the Western Regions and make it clear that if the kings of the countries in the Western Regions want to preserve their current status, they must first defeat the Song Dynasty, otherwise they will become prisoners of the Song Dynasty.

This was what he learned from the Liao envoys. The Song Dynasty generally used high officials and generous salaries to treat the kings who had no choice but to tempt him. But if he really entered the Song Dynasty, it would be like Li Yu, the late lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, who would be granted the title of a marquis who disobeyed his destiny and would not die in the end.

This is an example in front of you. What the Emperor of the Song Dynasty called the addition to China is actually just a gimmick. Who can join China? Only ordinary people, and only they live better after entering the Song Dynasty. As the rulers of the dynasty, what will happen if officials join China? Anyway, they will not give you freedom!

That's why so many people praise the goodness of the Song Dynasty, the kindness of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, and the love for the people! In fact, it's just that there are too many people at the bottom!

Qu Chigan wrote it very clearly in his letter to the country, and other kings of the Western Regions could also see it clearly. If they had no brains and means, how could they survive in this cruel and competitive land in the Western Regions?

There has never been a real peace in the Western Regions. Only when interests are in the face of them can a brief peace be restored. There was once in the Tang Dynasty, and it was the most recent time when the Song Dynasty entered the world.

Qu Chi’s words are true, and it is also true. If you want to retain your own kingdom and continue to gain your own rights, there is only one way to promote peace through war!
