Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 368

In Luoxie City, Zanpu King City of Tubo, the upper class of Tubo just held a "feast".

The host of this banquet is naturally the supreme god Zanpu Trisong Detsen.

Those who participated in this feast were all high-ranking nobles of the Tubo royal court.

The meat and wine for this feast was Shang Qixin'er's family who were defeated and killed in Hexi.

Originally not as noble as Lu's, he was kicked down and turned into the most humble slave in Tubo.

The political struggle in Tubo was very bloody and cruel, and all the adult males without Lu family were exterminated overnight.

The old people who could not work were thrown into the street from the rich manor castle, and the younger women were divided among the nobles, and they would meet a fate worse than death.

Children under the age of ten have also become the most humble Wenmo, just like when they treated their own slaves. These slaves were locked in cells under the castle and had to bear heavy labor every day.

In Tibet, losers have no rights at all.

All of Lu's family assets were divided up, and when all this was settled, Chisong Dezan finally launched a counterattack against Datang.

The Tang-Fan ancient road going north to Tuyuhun has already built the castle of the Tang army, and it seems that there is no bargain.

In fact, Chisong Dezan did not have much desire for the territory of Tuyuhun.

Here are all high-altitude mountains, the land is very barren, and during the period when various ethnic groups live together, it is not fertile land at all.

In the past, Shang Qixin'er was entrusted as the host to occupy the Tuyuhun area. In fact, it was for the purpose of plotting the fertile Hexi and Longyou.

It can even be said that no one in the royal court of Tubo wanted to "recover" Tuyuhun.

Attacking Tuyuhun was a bad deal for Chisong Dezan.

The Tuyuhun area is far away from the core area of ​​Tubo, even if it is captured, it will still have to be managed by Dalun.

Although the vassals had to pay taxes, after Shang Qixin'er occupied the Tuyuhun area, she thought that the Tuyuhun area was barren for a long time and refused to pay taxes.

Zanpu was unwilling to take action, and other powerful nobles were also unwilling to send troops.

Not to mention how difficult these Tang troops are to deal with, how to allocate the Tuyuhun area after they are defeated is still a mess. Now that the troops are bleeding out, they may end up as wedding dresses for other families.

In fact, Qin Chuan's judgment on Tubo is very correct. Tubo is a country with a tribal alliance system, and Zanpu is just the most powerful chief.

If Zanpu cannot guarantee his own strength, he will become a puppet of other nobles.

Tubo Zanpu needs to balance the local aristocrats, so that there are no powerful officials who threaten the interests of the Zanpu family.

And other families also have to beware of Zamp letting them die or looting their property.

It can be said that Datang and Tubo, the brothers and sisters, are both facing the problem of separatism.

Going north to break through the Jishishan fortress is too difficult, and attacking Tuyuhun is too costly.

Threatening Datang from the west through the Western Regions is just scratching the surface, and Datang's influence in the Western Regions is still very strong.

Then you can only start from the south.

Zanpu held a meeting in Zanpu Court, and Zanpu, who was sitting high on the gorgeous throne, saw that Nandao Dalun, who had eaten up a large amount of Wulu's family property this time, made a favorable comment.

Shang Jiezan understood what Zanpu meant, and he immediately said:
"The great god Zanpu, the tiger must attack the other beasts that invaded its territory. The people of Tang have oppressed their faces. We must fight back!"

God Zanpu looked at Shang Jiezan calmly and nodded slightly.

Immediately, a minister jumped out, and Chisong Dezan saw that it was indeed Lunma Xiangzhong, who always liked to sing a different tune.

The anti-Buddhist leader minister said:
"Now that all the hosts have been lost, and autumn is here, how can we take revenge on the people of Tang?"

Shang Jiezan said: "The East Road has been lost, and the Tang family's fortress has been built on Jishi Mountain. Therefore, this theory suggests attacking the Tang family from the south!"

The Tubo ministers who participated in this meeting all looked at Shang Jie and praised him.

The so-called attack from the south is to attack Datang from the Tubo South Road where Shang Jiezan is located.

The Tubo South Road is connected to the Xichuan area in the middle of Shu in the Tang Dynasty, which is also a fertile land that Shang Jiezan has coveted for a long time.

Shang Jiezan was not just talking about it, he had already made a complete plan.

Shang Jiezan said: "Please Zanpu write a letter to Zanpu Zhong of Nanzhao, so that Nanzhao and our army from the South Road can attack Xichuan of the Tang Dynasty together!"

"The elite troops of the Tang Dynasty are now fighting to regain their capital, and now is a good opportunity to attack Xichuan."

"You can also blackmail the people of Tang, order them to return to the host, and punish King Jianning!"

Chisong Dezan was very happy after listening to Shang Jiezan's words.

The young Zanpu often compares himself to Tubo Songtsan Gampo, and thinks he is the mighty leader of Tubo.

Just as he succeeded to the throne, he started reforms to support Buddhism, but the reforms were blocked, and now he has lost a large area of ​​​​the host territory.

This was quite a setback for the pompous Akasong Detsen.

Today, Shang Jiezan's suggestion made Chisong Dezan very satisfied.

Due to Tubo's aggressive attitude, King Nanzhao has accepted the title of Zan Puzhong.

Zanpu Zhong means "Zanpu's younger brother" in Tubo.

This is equivalent to Nanzhao has surrendered to Tubo.

Xichuan, who ordered Nanzhao to send troops to the Tang Dynasty together, Nanzhao must also be willing.

The wealth of Bashu has always been jealous of Tubo. If Xichuan can be captured, it will not be a loss at all to lose a Tubo host.

Even if Xichuan could not be occupied, Chisong Dezan felt that he had made a profit by plundering the wealthy Bashu.

Chisong Dezan nodded and said: "Shang Jiezan, I will give you [-] Dongdai Forbidden Army. As long as you can invade Xichuan in the Tang Dynasty, your Nang family can make another name."

Shang Jiezan was overjoyed when he heard the words, originally he only wanted to get Nanzhao's response to send troops.

But now that Zanpu actually took out [-] Dongdai Forbidden Army generously, Shang Jiezan knelt down on the ground and said:

"With the Dongdai army of the god Zanpu, Shang Jiezan will definitely be able to invade the middle of Shu, and repay the god Zanpu with the most exquisite brocade in the middle of Shu!"

The meeting of the Zanpu court ended, and the Asuka envoy took Zanpu's handwritten letter to Nanzhao.

Chisong Dezan took out the red book, which is the population book that recorded the names of "Gui" and "Wen Mo".

The Dongdai area is directly controlled by Zanpu, and it is also the most prosperous area in Tubo.

The reason why the Zanpu family was able to rule Tubo, apart from the position of Zanpu passed down from generation to generation, was to rely on the Dongdai Forbidden Army.

It's just that the Tubo system is a farming system, and these Dongdai imperial soldiers usually farm at home.

As long as Zanpu needs them, they will put down their agricultural tools and go to the battlefield. They are a very powerful force.

The Dongdai Imperial Army can only fight with about [-] troops. This time, it can be regarded as Chisong Dezan's capital to bring out an army of [-].

After checking the name on the red book, Chisong Dezan said to the Asuka around him:

"Take my order and set up a large material collection in Dongdai, and must gather livestock and food within ten days."

"Tell them that this battle is to avenge the heroic warriors in Tubo!"

The Asuka envoy immediately took Zanpu's order and headed for the Dongdai area at full speed.

At this time Trisong Detsen said again:

"Our Tibetans are different from the cunning Tang people. It is a cowardly act to fight without declaring war."

"In the name of Zan Puting, write a letter to the Tang court, telling them the reason for the war!"

"If the emperor of the Tang family can personally restrain King Jianning Chou to the border, and offer Tubo the host with both hands, there will still be peace between Tang and Tubo!"

Asuka recorded Chisong Dezan's order, and immediately rushed to Zanputing to find a theory that could write Han Chinese articles, and draft Zanpu's ultimatum.

After finishing all the work, Trisong Detsen felt tired, and he returned to his gorgeous backyard to start today's fun.

Monk Yuantong and another group of players disguised as monks have sneaked into the Dongdai area of ​​Tubo.

Chisong Dezan promoted Buddhism in Tubo, and there are also many Buddhist worshipers in Dongdai area.

Yuantong and his party did not attract much attention, and there are still many monks with Tubo Han faces.

Staying in a small manor, Yuantong finished the buttered tea offered by the owner of the manor, and said to another player:
"We will be able to reach Luoxi City next month, so we have to be careful when the time comes."

The player named himself "Fahai". He nodded and said:
"Don't worry boss, we understand!"

Fa Hai asked curiously: "Boss, I heard that Master Padmasambhava is going to enter the state soon, does this Padmasambhava really have mana?"

"I heard that he is a god and ghost who refined Tubo, and even the priests of the Bon religion fear him!"

Padmasambhava was invited by Chisong Dezan to be buried, and now the myths about him have spread in the Dongdai area.

This Nepalese eminent monk seems to have great mana. He has been refining gods and demons since he entered Tubo. It is said that he has surrendered hundreds of demons!

Padmasambhava, the master of Tantric Buddhism, also has a very important position in Tibetan Buddhism, and is also a character that appears in many novels.

Although everyone knows that "Da Tang Feng Yun" is a realistic historical game, but what if there are elements of martial arts and immortality?
Yuantong said: "What Lianhuasheng subdued gods and demons, you all read too many online novels."

"Lianhuasheng is a monk with a mortal body. After Lianhuasheng came to Tubo, he has been translating Buddhist scriptures in Sanskrit, and he has integrated local legends of Tubo into the Buddhist scriptures he translated."

"To put it bluntly, this is a monk with private goods."

"However, his method is very effective. He integrated the original Bon religion's system of gods and demons into Buddhism, making Buddhism easier for ordinary Tubo people to accept."

"Buddhizing the original gods and demons in Tubo, and then inviting them into Buddhist temples, this is the real meaning of Padmasambhava's subjugation of gods and demons."

"Later generations spread false rumors, and really thought that this monk had magical powers!"

　Tubo and Nanzhao attacked Xichuan, which happened many times in history.

　　When Wei Gao served as the Jiedu envoy of Xichuan, he once defeated the coalition forces of Tubo and Uyghur.

　　Tubo was able to compete with Datang for hegemony, and it was itself a super empire in the world at that time. Tubo's attack on Datang also came from multiple directions, and they would also draw vassals to each other to attack.
