Cultivation of chastity

In the Himalayas in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty, Songtsen Gampo looked at the palace burned by his sister Zameng Saimaga himself. Even though he was a king, he still felt the pain from the heart.

In the end, she accompanied Zhang Zhung's Li Mixia to the end as Zhang Zhung's princess, and proved her innocence with fire.

Of course, if it is the original history, Zameng Saimaga will be abandoned by Li Mixia who loves the new and dislikes the old in a few years.

In the name of her falling out of favor, Tubo fought a three-year war with Xiangxiong, and directly took away Li Mixia's ashes.

But now, who let Xue Rengui lead the school soldiers to destroy Xiangxiong's pillar army?

Zhang Zhuong, who had lost his backbone, never expected that Tubo, who was allied with him, would turn his face and deny anyone.

And under such circumstances, in order to prove his innocence that he had no collusion with Tubo, Zameng Saimaga personally set fire to accompany Li Mixia to die in the palace, and finished the last part of his life.

But for Songtsen Gampo, all this is worth it, at least from today onwards he has completely unified the plateau.

"Zanpu, all the resistance of Zhang Zhung has been eliminated, and the remnants of Zhang Zhung, represented by Jongbu Dazatonzu, are willing to hand over lambs and horses in exchange for the continued existence of Zhang Zhung!" Lu Dongzan was carrying a The young man preached to Songtsengan respectfully.

Songtsan Gampo looked at Daza Dunzu and said, "I don't need your lambs and horses, I just need your loyalty!"

"Chumb Dazatonzu, Zanpu is willing to sacrifice his life!"

Daza Dunzu knelt down without any hesitation, and at the same time slashed his arm with the dagger.

He only saw blood left from his palm, but he raised his bleeding hand without hesitation.

"Very good!" Songtsen Gampo stretched out his palms to hold the bloody palms, and then patted his chest with the blood, as if to express that he had accepted the other party's loyalty.

Then Songtsengan preached, "From now on, you will continue to lead the rest of the Zhangzhung tribe!"

"Xie Zanpu!" Daza Dunzu knelt on the ground at this moment, expressed his gratitude to Songtsan Gampo, and even wanted to kiss his boots.

As Dazha Dunzu left, Songtsan Gampo said in a deep voice, "Can I gather 50 soldiers and horses and go to Shang Datang Princess!"

"Zanpu is so powerful, so he will naturally enhance my prestige in Tubo!" Chisang Yang, the mastermind of Songtsan Gampo, said honestly,
"But this year we will sweep Tuyuhun first, and fight Xiangxiong later. We will wait until next year when the highland barley matures and save up, so that the Tang Dynasty will know that there is Tubo in the southwest, and it is by no means the Tang Dynasty alone!"

"What about this year?" Songtsan Gampo said in a deep voice, "I can't wait!"

But Chisang Yangdun said calmly, "Send someone to the Tang Dynasty again. I heard that the Tang Dynasty is very beautiful. My Wang Yueling proposes to marry him. If you can avoid fighting, it is better not to fight!"

"What if Tang refuses!" Songtsan Gampo narrowed his eyes when he heard Chisang Yangdun's words.

"Please Zanpu do his best to raise 50 troops to the border of Datang, and let Datang know that we are willing to fight for the princess of Datang!"

Hearing Chisang Yangdun's words, Songtsan Gampo couldn't help showing a gratified smile.

From a powerless child to such a true lord of Tubo, it can be said that Chisang Yangdun has always been his closest comrade-in-arms and gave him the greatest support.

Songtsan preached: "Dongzan, get ready the sheepskin gold utensils and go propose marriage to the Tang emperor. I want Princess Shang!"

When Lu Dongzan heard Songtsan Gampo's words, he respectfully saluted Songtsan Gampo and said, "Observe the order, Zanpu!"

With the snowstorm in spring, Tubo is like a boa constrictor that has eaten enough food, quietly digesting Zhang Zhung's income, and at the same time accumulating its own strength, intending to show its fangs with Datang.

To be honest, for Songtsan Gampo, he now lacks the princess of the Tang Dynasty to flaunt his own strength.

This is a bit like Huaxia, which has gradually become stronger after the reform and opening up, lacks a ticket to the WTO.

As long as you have this ticket, then Tubo can enter the largest trading system of this era and absorb the nutrients for development.

For any country around Datang, there are two ways to get this ticket, either kneeling and licking, or being a princess.

Kneeling and licking is unacceptable for any dignified country, but there are also countries that choose to go this way, such as Japan.

Of course, the countries around the Tang Dynasty more or less follow the path of Princess Shang, such as Tuyuhun, such as Tubo.

However, there are also those who died because of going the way of Princess Shang, such as Xue Yantuo.

All in all, Princess Shang is not bad for Datang, it is a very serious matter, at least the power of both sides should meet head-on, to confirm whether you have the qualifications of Princess Shang, if you have the qualifications, it is easy to say, if not, maybe you don’t up!
On the other side of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Tian Changgeng looked at the gradually passing winter, and couldn't help but burst into tears:

"Winter... is finally over!"

This winter night is really too long, so long that I am full of doubts about my own life.

On the first day when he came to the plateau, he marched in a snowstorm. Although there was no shortage of food and housing, the training method of climbing ice and lying on the snow almost brought Tian Changgeng close to death several times, and then he was taken from Naihe Bridge alive. pull back.

Xue Rengui, are you training soldiers?You are murder!
Of course, under Xue Rengui's unreasonable training methods, all Wei Wang's personal soldiers were integrated into the school soldiers very smoothly, and basically all of them had mastered their adaptive talents when the snowstorm passed.

But this was just the beginning of the ordeal. After that, the initial training gradually changed from harsh to abnormal.

Climbing ice, lying on snow, and crossing blizzards are all easy. Xue Rengui actually asked people to climb the mountain in heavy snow. When he climbed halfway up the mountain, someone yelled, which directly caused the avalanche on the top of the mountain to shatter, sweeping the sky and covering the earth come.

Fortunately, Xue Rengui's talent in the legion, coupled with the resonance formed by the soldiers' will to survive, directly became invisible and formed into a barrier of will, resisting the initial impact, so that the Xuefu soldiers were only buried in the snow, and finally crawled out .

However, after this experience, Xuefu soldiers also recognized Xue Rengui more, and their strength became stronger.

But even so, Tian Changgeng still felt that it was good that winter was over!

At this time, Xue Rengui was also discussing his legion talent with Wang Xuance.

Wang Xuance looked at Xue Rengui and asked doubtfully, "Can't you guide the true strength of the soldiers like the last avalanche?"

To be honest, because of the resonance of the soldiers' will to survive, Xue Rengui realized the willpower of the soldiers in the school, and the state of directly making the soldiers' combat effectiveness reach the peak, and they can fight ten of them. Xue Rengui thought that since he appeared, he had mastered it. .

When I came back, I wanted to show Wang Xuance how to use it as a staff officer, but Xue Rengui kept yelling at the soldiers, but it seemed that he couldn't use it, which made people feel like watching people die.

Xue Rengui said helplessly, "If we hadn't really resisted the avalanche face to face, I would have thought it was an illusion!"

"Then the conditions are not allowed!" Wang Xuance thought for a while, and said, "I originally thought that your talent in the war department was unity, and the more soldiers believed in you, the stronger their combat effectiveness, and they were very suitable to be the commander of a large army.

But now, it seems that after the soldiers believe that you reach a certain standard, your overall combat effectiveness will be significantly improved.

Maybe you can concentrate on cultivating a headquarters so that you can better display your own army talent! "

"But the question is how to bring it out!" Xue Rengui couldn't help but get mad when he heard Wang Xuance's words.

"People's hearts want to change the most, you just need to continue to train hard, you can't rush it!" Wang Xuance said calmly, "If you can achieve it once, it means that your quality has reached the standard, and you just need to find an opportunity to achieve it the first time." It's the second time!"

"Hey!" Xue Rengui scratched his head and continued to worry.

And Wang Xuance watched Xue Rengui leave, thoughtful in his heart,

"Unification of the will to survive, or other hidden conditions, when it seems that there is a real danger, throwing Xue Rengui's war department to a desperate place, maybe this situation can be reproduced.

Moreover, the model of the foreign servant army needs to be slightly modified. The foreign thoughts are mixed. If they are directly incorporated into Xue Rengui's army, it will interfere with the realization of his ability, so it should exist as a vassal.

If Xue Rengui really once again showed the will to fight against the avalanche head-on without any damage, the minds of these alien servants will be firm! "

"I heard that Tubo has already gone to attack Yangtong. It's been almost half a year. I think the winner should be decided. When Tubo integrates the power of this plateau, I'm afraid they will come to Tang to provoke them."

Wang Xuance thought of this, but couldn't help but clenched his fists, "I think the king of Wei saw this at the beginning, so he kept Xue Rengui and Xuefu soldiers here!"

Compared with Tubo, he still thought about courtesy first and then soldiers, to see if he could persuade Li Shimin to agree to marry his daughter to him, but Wang Xuance understood much more that there must be a battle between Tubo and Datang.

Needless to say, with the development of animal husbandry in the West Sea and Empress Changsun's demand for Tibetan medicinal materials, it was decided that it was impossible for the Tang Dynasty to abandon the West Sea and needed stability here.

And Tubo's unification of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau will inevitably lead to a head-on confrontation between Datang and Tubo, to see if you are really qualified to stand in front of Datang, or if you are just a paper tiger.

And Wang Xuance's positioning for himself is that no matter what Tubo does, if he disturbs his grazing, he must die.

After all, I have to prove to Datang that it was Xu Jingzong who had blind eyes, not my own limited ability!
Of course, the arrival of spring means that everything grows on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, but for Yuan Keshi, it is time for him to set off for Luoyang.

After all, from Hehuang Valley to Luoyang, the official road on this section of the road has been unimpeded, but no one has organized people to carry out large-scale road repairs, so it will take a month or two to travel from Hehuang Valley to Luoyang.

I'd better go on my way early, and when I get to Luoyang, I can adjust my state as soon as possible, and kill those so-called chess players!

But just when Yuan Keshi was on the official road, he saw a foreigner, and he spoke in very poor Chinese when he met everyone,

"My lord/lady, how do I get to Chang'an!" It's just that the vast majority of Tang people avoid people of other races.

After all, the current Tang Dynasty is not yet in its prime, and even the Silk Road has not yet been reopened.

He didn't feel the calmness he felt when all nations came to court for foreigners. Instead, he only felt surprise or curiosity.

After all, Yuan Keshi had been in the Hehuang Valley for a while, so he was familiar with the alien race, but felt that the alien race was somewhat different from the Qiang tribe, so he went over and said, "Mr. Lang, are you going to Chang'an?"

"Yes, I am Belus, the prince of the Sasanian Kingdom. I have been ordered to go to the Tang Dynasty. May I ask how to get to Chang'an!" Belus looked at Yuan Keshi, but felt that this gorgeously dressed person should be Han. the nobility.

"The envoys of the Sassanid Kingdom... don't envoys have the ceremonies, documents, and even guards?" Master Yuan Ke felt that this alien race pretended to be an envoy and came to the Tang Dynasty to cheat. It was the first time that the envoy himself saw the man on the road.

"Our mission has been hunted down by the Caliphs and the Turks successively, and even I managed to escape!" Belus said, "However, I have a mission from my king. I must go to Chang'an to meet King of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Uh...we call saints here!"

Master Yuan Ke looked at Belus, and felt that no matter whether this guy was real or not, since he couldn't tell if he was real or not, he might as well hand it over to Honglu Temple.

They are in charge of foreign exchanges, whether they are the messengers of a small Sasanian country, Honglu Temple can always verify one or two.

Therefore, Master Yuan Ke thought of this, but said to Belus,
"I happen to be going to Luoyang to participate in the game of Luoshui. On the way, I will pass through Chang'an. I will take you to Honglu Temple, which is responsible for handling diplomatic affairs. If you are willing, then just follow me."

"May the holy fire bless you!" Belus immediately expressed his gratitude to Yuan Keshi when he heard what Yuan Keshi said, "I am very willing."

Master Yuan Ke nodded and ordered people to arrange Belus into his team and head towards Luoyang.

Of course, for Master Yuan Ke, this is just a simple effort, this kind of effort is a bit like a visitor is a guest, if you can help me, I will help you.

It's just that what Yuan Keshi didn't know was that in fact, Belos's encounter had a little relationship with Datang.

Because he led his bodyguards in Belus, broke through the double interception of the Caliphate and the Western Turks, finally arrived near Yumen, and was arrested by the Tiele people who were participating in the slave hunting because of money incentives. is on.

No way, Li Tai's original idea of ​​replacing domestic corvee with foreign corvee was quickly accepted by Honglu Temple.

And they are different from Li Tai, they really use the alien race to death, the most important thing is that it doesn't hurt the hearts of the people.

This encouraged the surrounding foreign races to capture slaves for Datang, and for the surrounding foreign races, as long as this thing can be exchanged for materials from Datang, then they would not mind capturing slaves, and then the embarrassed Belus and others Then he was targeted.

Fortunately, he has already arrived in the territory of Datang. The Great Tang itself will not take action against the aliens in the territory, and the aliens who are responsible for capturing slaves outside the country dare not do anything wrong in the territory of the Great Tang. Therefore, the closer to Chang'an, the safer Belus will be.

It's just that he has rushed to Honglu Temple now, maybe he can actually meet the scene of Tie Le and other aliens sending slaves to Honglu Temple, but I don't know if there are his guards inside.
