Chapter 1958: The Betrayal of Jiao Shiluo
Zhao Zhen has always been a skeptical person who doesn’t use it and does not doubt it. This is the principle of handling things he has been following for so many years. He has never been worried about using it.
He believes in his own means and also in his ability to grasp other people's weaknesses. The premise of employing people is that you have mastered other people's weaknesses and know that even if this person rebelled in the future, he will have countermeasures.
This is the premise of unquestionable employment. As a person polished in later generations, Zhao Zhen never believed that there would be eternal friends. In the face of interests, the word "friend" is too luxurious.
Liu Huan's memorial for apologizing has been published five times in just one month, and each time it was sincere, hoping that Zhao Zhen could remove his official position and prevent him from being in the corpse.
Of course, Zhao Zhen would not approve the report. Not only that, he also wanted to give Liu Huan comfort and opportunity. It was not him who was wrong. The emperor had not even admitted defeat. How could you admit defeat?
In fact, Zhao Zhen has never found a solution to the plateau problem. The climate is an insurmountable natural barrier and barrier. If it is a mountain, it is the highest one, and if it is a river, it is the widest one.
China has been attacked by plateaus for thousands of years and cannot be completely wiped out. The main reason is the plateau climate there.
If you want to conquer the plateau, it is almost impossible to do it in the era of weapons. The best way is to let this originally simple tribe kill each other.
The lower the Tubo people, the simpler and terrifying, the more simple and terrible the people, but the smaller the "social elites" are, the smarter they are. However, these smart people put their minds on internal struggles.
Those who do not plan for the whole world are not enough to plan for a moment; those who do not plan for the overall situation are not enough to plan for a region.
Due to traffic restrictions, shortage of materials, and the double-edged sword of climate, it is difficult for the Tubo people to have a long-term vision. They use their wisdom more to fight each other.
Since Songtsen Gampo's death, no Tubo people have united this nation. In fact, over the past few hundred years, the Tubo people have been constantly killing each other and fighting each other.
But an anomaly appeared. Jiao Siluo, the former puppet, grew up step by step. When he destroyed Li Lizun with his own hands, he had already seen the power of the Central Plains.
After that, he formed an alliance with the Song Dynasty without hesitation and truly sacrificed blood and sacrificed for the Song Dynasty. How many men in the Qing Tang tribe died in the encirclement and suppression of the Western Xia that year?
Zhao Zhen knew all these, but he did not deliberately compensate Jiao Siluo because he did not want Qingtang's power to be too large, which was called a situation where he could not lose his tail.
A Xixia fell down. If he supported another Xixia himself, wouldn’t it be a slap in the face?
However, Jiao Siluo, a Tubo man who had visited the Song Dynasty, was different. He took a different approach and did not ask for too much funding from the Song Dynasty, but still loyally helped the Song Dynasty guard the Western Xinjiang.
It is this time that has always been loyal and won the trust of the Song Dynasty. Ten years have passed, such a person is a gentleman! Ordinary people cannot do it...
But a puppet that is almost everyone can threaten will win in the end, and luck is part of the forbearance and means behind it.
Jiao Siluo happened to have these things, and he also had a heart that was good at hiding.
He hid everything, and all his thoughts were just planned in his heart, and he had almost never revealed a trace of it. This was what Zhao Zhen admired the most.
Even when he received the support of the Song Dynasty and sent troops to Tubo, he still faithfully implemented the plan he agreed with the Song Dynasty.
The Song Dynasty's black hands were spread all over the world, and even the distant Roman Empire had traces of black hands, not to mention the Qing Tang tribe, there were no less than hundreds of secret spies in this tribe.
But even so, there is still no sign of Jiao Siluo's rebellion.
In fact, Jiao Siluo is not treasoning, he is just defending himself. Until now, he has no intention of confronting the Song Dynasty, but his methods are too fierce when Liu Huan is in danger.
Sending the Zang family army to raid the raid is a mistake in itself. The strength and courage of the Song army gave Liu Huan the illusion that the Zhong family army would soon quell the Jiaosiluo's rebellion after it arrived.
But in fact, this rebellion is just speculation. Even if all speculations are logical, as long as Jiao Siluo did not raise the banner of rebellion, he was recapturing Tubo for the Song Dynasty and unifying Tubo for the Song Dynasty.
Now, everything has changed. The raid of the Zhong family army gave Jiao Siluo enough excuses. He not only amassed the Zhong family army whom Liu Huan was transferred to assist in defense, but also took advantage of this opportunity to capture the Wusi army in one fell swoop.
He is bold and meticulous, has amazing means, has strong ambitions, and is good at forbearance. This is a "profile" made by Zhao Zhen's diagonal Siluo. Although Liu Huan's mistakes are serious, he eventually eliminated a mine for Zhao Zhen.
Liu Huan has a good consciousness and a very sensitive sense of smell, but the means of handling it is too fierce.
In fact, Zhao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief when he received the news. Jiao Siluo was forced out by Liu Huan. If he had not forced him, what would the Qing Tang tribe look like over time?
At that time, Jiao Siluo was the most dangerous. Now Jiao Siluo is like a poisonous snake with fangs exposed. Although it is fatal, it is dozens of meters away.
Zhao Zhen and the Song Dynasty had time to deal with this danger. More importantly, Jiao Siluo missed the opportunity. After successfully eliminating the border troubles in the northwest and southwest, the Song Dynasty had already begun internal construction.
During this period, the Song Dynasty was in an upward period.
Whether the problem of Tubo can be solved is to be easily handled during this period. Jiao Siluo undoubtedly found an excellent excuse for the Song Dynasty.
In fact, Zhao Zhen was also using Jiao Siluo, and the relationship between the two sides was just an ally of interest. Jiao Siluo was not an ally of the Song Dynasty, but more accurately, Zhao Zhen's "worker".
The Song Dynasty paid Jiao Siluo, who helped the Song Dynasty pacify Tubo, and then used the serfs liberated by the Song Dynasty to re-dividate the scope of their interests in Tubo.
But now, this "worker" has stopped working. Not only does he need to gain wealth, but he also needs to gain dignity and more wealth. He wants to be his "boss" himself and become a "Zanpu" who is on par with Zhao Zhen.
After all, it’s so boring to work for others. Being a boss by yourself is what all ambitious people want to do……
Is the time ripe? A little bit unripe. After Zhao Zhen saw the secret report of the Zhong family army, he knew why Jiao Siluo was going to burn his boat.
The reason is very simple. He has already taken down the Sima tribe, but the venerable who had great influence in the Sima tribe and even the entire Tubo, Renqin Sangbo resolutely went to the Tugan tribe where Liu Huan was.
Before the deified Lamas such as Living Buddhas and Panchen Lamas appeared, the Venerable was a unique existence in Tibetan Buddhism. They had a great influence and were quite powerful in their spiritual power.
