The pastures outside ancient Wei were extremely vast and seemed to stretch to the distant mountains. Not far to the east, there were farmers grazing. In the river valley to the west, the Han people were looking at the riverbank fields.
It’s a wonderful scene of Fan and Han living in harmony.
The clouds were very low today, snow flakes were floating in the sky, and a rabbit suddenly jumped out of the snow-covered dry reed field. At this time, Zhang Yue urged his horse, stretched his bow and arrow and shot it!
As expected, the shot missed.
Zhang Yue was helpless. The nature of riding and shooting was too much.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves sounded, and Wang Shao, Wang Hou and his son came on horseback, followed by more than ten riders.
"Sheren, why are you so far away from Gu Wei? What if..." Wang Shao asked.
Zhang Yue threw the bow and arrow to Tang Jiu beside him and said with a smile: "I want to practice riding and shooting, and besides, I still have them to protect me."
Zhang Yue pointed his riding whip at Han Tong, Zhang Gong and others.
Wang Shao said: "It's better to be cautious, otherwise I won't be able to afford it."
Zhang Yue said: "It doesn't matter. You governed Gu Wei very well. I saw it at the meeting that day."
A few days ago, Wang Shao killed Li Bazhan and threw his head into the tent, causing a commotion.
Previously, the leaders of the Tibetan tribe were arguing about sending troops to Weizhai to attack Mu Zheng.
At this time, heads rolled down to the feet of the leaders of the Tibetan tribes.
Zhang Yue saw such a bloody scene for the first time, and he couldn't bear it on the spot. However, the leaders of the Tibetan tribe were well-informed, and some of them raised their heads to see.
"It's Li Bazhan."
Zhang Yue was worried about the reaction of the Tibetan leaders.
After entering the account, Wang Shao said on the spot: "Li Bazhan violated the original covenant by robbing the Yinbo tribe. Now that I have killed them, these one hundred sheep will be returned to the Yinbo tribe."
The leaders of all the Tibetan tribes looked at each other in shock.
After a while, everyone unanimously agreed to send troops to Tongwei Village for a military expedition.
After that day, not only Zhang Yue, but also Liu Xishi was convinced by Wang Shao.
Zhang Yue and Wang Shao were walking and chatting when they saw a large Buddhist temple a few miles upstream on the Wei River next to the ancient Wei Village.
From afar, devout Tibetan people came one after another to worship at the Great Buddha Temple.
Wang Shao said: "I invited Master Zhiyuan from Daxiangguo Temple to preside over it. People in the Tibetan tribe heard that the eminent monks from Tokyo in the Song Dynasty all came here to pay homage. Whenever Master Zhiyuan opened the forum to preach, there would be no less than ten thousand Tibetan people. People come here to listen.”
Zhang Yue said happily: "This is a great kindness."
After a pause, Zhang Yue continued: "I remember that when you offered your Majesty the Pingrong plan, the three parts were merging, conforming to customs, and legality, seven parts appeasing, and three parts recruiting. Now I can see it."
Wang Shao was quite proud when he heard this.
Merge the weak tribes, such as the previous disposal of Li Bazhan, and integrate the powerful tribes, such as the Yu Longke tribe, to win over each other by allowing market transactions and granting official positions to the other side.
The last thing is legality. Wang Shao respected the Tubo people's belief in worshiping Buddhism. He not only built a large Buddhist temple in Guwei, but also invited eminent monks from Bianjing. At the same time, Wang Shao himself also bowed to the Buddha.
Seeing the Buddhist temple in front of him, Zhang Yue said to Wang Shao: "Now that I'm here, I will also go to worship the Buddha."
Zhang Yue rode his horse in front, followed closely by Wang Shao.
Zhang Yue dismounted outside the Buddhist temple, went inside with Wang Shao to worship the Buddha, and met with Master Zhiyuan.
Zhang Yue heard the name of this master when he was in Bianjing. He heard that he was not only good at medicine, but also treated Emperor Renzong and Emperor Yingzong.
When Wang Anshi and Wang Gui were both Hanlin bachelors, Wang Gui doubted whether this was true, but Wang Anshi said there was nothing strange about it.
Now in order to open up Hehuang, the other party did not hesitate to come here to help Wang Shao.
Zhiyuan was dressed in purple. Eminent monks in the Song Dynasty would give him purple clothes, just like the purple robes worn by officials.
Zhi Yuan clasped his hands to Zhang Yue and said, "Can a poor monk diagnose Zhang She's pulse?"
Zhang Yue agreed.
Zhang Yue never believed in Zhiyuan's art of pulse diagnosis and physiognomy, but he reached out for fun.
After diagnosing his pulse, Zhiyuan said to Zhang Yue: "Seren was promoted to official position at the age of twenty-six, and he will be extremely valuable in the future. No need for a poor monk to mention it. However, it seems that Seren's career will not be smooth sailing, and there will be ups and downs... "
Zhang Yue frowned slightly when he heard this. Who wouldn't want to be an official smoothly? He smiled and said: "Yes, I have just been deprived of my third official position, so I have been demoted to this point. But I'm fine, I don't think it's okay to be demoted!"
Zhiyuan smiled and said: "She regards the ups and downs as nothing, and the poor monk admires him very much. The one who can help the world in the future is none other than Sheren."
Zhang Yue smiled. The words to help the world came from Han Qi. It was not unusual for a monk to say it.
The three of them were chatting, and Wang Shao said: "Dong Xiang worships Buddhism. When Master Zhiyuan first came to Guwei, Dong Xiang even came here from the Qing and Tang Dynasties to pay homage to Master Zhiyuan. If you want to ask Dong Xiang to send troops today, Zhiyuan It would be great if the master could write a letter."
Master Zhiyuan said: "Xixia and Dong Fei have a hatred of seizing land, and they should be hostile. However, in recent years, we have based ourselves on ancient Wei to recruit and appease the Tibetan tribe, which makes him quite worried whether we have the intention of annexation."
"In June of this year, Dong Fei asked his younger brother Dong Yu to go to Xixia to request a marriage alliance. Now he seems to have the intention of annexing the Qiang."
Wang Shao said: "Once Dong Xiang marries Xixia, the consequences will be unimaginable, but I heard that Dong Yu seems to be at odds with Dong Xiang."
Zhiyuan nodded and said: "Of course, that's why Wu Chila and Kangzang Xingluojie have always wanted to welcome Dong Yu to Wu Shengjun."
Zhang Yue said: "Could it be that Dong Yu also has many people supporting him in Dong Zhan's department, and Dong Zhan can't do anything to him, right?"
Zhiyuan said: "That's exactly the case. Wu Chila was also a Tibetan monk who commanded 10,000 troops in the Qing and Tang Dynasties. At the same time, he had a good personal relationship with the poor monk. He once wrote a letter to the poor monk, expressing his gratitude to me in the Song Dynasty. The emperor showed his loyalty."
Zhang Yue said happily: "With Master Zhiyuan here, we can defeat an army of 100,000."
Zhang Yue clasped his hands and looked at Wang Shao. He really did a good job in this legal matter.
When Zhiyuan heard the words, he put his palms together humbly.
At this moment, Wang Shao was a little angry.
For example, it was clearly his Wang Shao's credit for recruiting Yu Longke before, but after Yu Longke returned to the Song Dynasty, he became very close to Zhiyuan. Not only Yu Longke, but also most of Wang Shao's subordinates were very close to Zhiyuan and respected him. Even more than Wang Shao himself.
The three of them chatted for a while, and they immediately wrote several letters to each other, and then sent people to deliver them to the place where Dong Fei and the Tibetan monk met Wu Chila respectively.
After coming out of Zhiyuanchu, Wang Shao said to Zhang Yue: "Of course we can assimilate the Tibetan people by worshiping Buddhism, but the most important thing is the establishment of our ancient Wei Village and Weiyuan Fort, as well as my thousands of Tibetan and Han elite soldiers. Otherwise, How could Jie Wu Chila listen to him, but now all the credit is as good as his."
Zhang Yue looked at Wang Shao's angry expression and smiled secretly: "Master Zhiyuan was recommended by you. If you can recruit Wu Chila and Dong Zhan, it is because of you, so why bother talking about him."
When Wang Shao saw Zhang Yue say this, he was very touched in his heart, but he said on the face: "I just think Zhiyuan is too public."
Zhang Yue said: "Now is the time to work together. If we can get Dong Fei and Wu Chila to send troops, why worry about Lan being unjust and the Yellow River being difficult to cross?"
