Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 301 How can our army have reliable heavenly soldiers?

Siyi Pavilion.

Dayan Mangbuzhi is relaxing with his eyes closed.

A young girl pushed open the door with a smile on her face and said, "By the way, there is sand in the water I drank. Is this the way Tang Ting treats guests?"

"This is not what Tang Ting meant..." Dayan Mangbuzhi chuckled softly: "Since Tang Ting decided to allow us to enter the capital, it shows that it has the magnanimity of the country. It will not do such a dirty thing..."

The girl raised her eyebrows and said, "Then I slander them?"

Dayan Mangbuzhi shook his head and said: "The people above are brave, but the people below may not be. This is also the scary thing about Tang Ting... The guards, common people and servants are all proud of being in Tang Ting. We are the enemies of Tang Ting, they The people below regard us as enemies and are a little careless in food, accommodation and transportation, which is reasonable. What do you have to argue with them..."

The girl said with a sullen face, "Okay, don't worry about them. You won the battle, but you are still so stingy. This shame will be repaid one day."

Dayan Mangbozhi did not answer, but he had the same meaning in his eyes.

The girl sat down next to Dayan Mangbuzhi and said, "We have arrived in Chang'an. How can I cooperate?"

Dayan Mangbuzhi said: "In ten days' time, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival. People in the Tang Dynasty attach great importance to the Mid-Autumn Festival, especially in Chang'an, where moon-viewing is very popular. At that time, the neighborhoods will be very lively, and you can dress up in disguise. Just play around."

The girl frowned and said: "By the way, this is different from when you came here. Are you using me as bait?"

Dayan Mangbu said: "We can't. We are surrounded by people, and our every move is under surveillance. The dishes we planted in the city cannot get in touch with us. Only by disrupting the situation can we get what we want." The necessary information. After talking about ten years of achievements, we can ruin it in one day. We cannot not know whose hands we will lose in a row. How can we win if we don’t even know who our opponent is. "

This time they came to Beijing with heavy gifts. Although they hoped to get back on good terms with Tang Ting, this was not their main purpose...

As a result of the feud between Tang and Tibet, bad guys in Wuhou Pu and various workshops in Chang'an began to take action.

They investigated the Tibetan people in Chang'an and the merchants traveling to and from Tibet.

Not only the upper echelons of the imperial court were fighting against each other, but also the lower classes were also fighting openly and secretly.

When the Tang Dynasty was expanding its territory, Tubo had already regarded the Tang court as an imaginary enemy. Taking advantage of the Tang Dynasty's tolerance and freedom, it planted many informants to investigate the situation.

Many were picked out by Wu Houpu and bad guys, but only a few were hidden deep and dormant secretly.

Gal Dongzan summed up the reason for this tragic defeat: it did not lie with the Tibetan soldiers or the Tibetan generals, but with him.

His ten years of planning, secret planning, and groveling to please and show weakness were all because Tang Ting could ignore their existence.

Fortunately, if they didn't make a sound at the critical moment, they would have already become a blockbuster, catching Tang Ting by surprise.

As a result, all their plans were seen through. Not only that, in order to deal with them, Tang Ting went to great lengths to arrange a three-pronged army, two bright and one dark.

This was completely beyond Galdongzan's expectation. He really couldn't believe that Tang Ting paid so much attention to a mere Tubo.

If you make one wrong step in strategy, you will make mistakes everywhere.

In the end, a heavy price was paid.

The most important thing is that Tibetans still don’t know who they lost to or who saw through their ten-year plan.

Changsun Wuji? Li Ji?

Gal Dongzan didn't believe they had this ability.

The girl knew how powerful this was, and said with gritted teeth: "I don't know who was able to uncover Daluo's plan, causing the body of my adopted brother to be dismembered. I, Chimalo, only wish I was not a man and could not avenge my adopted brother."

**********

Meander.

It is named because it is located in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, where there are nine twists and turns.

While drinking, Murong Nuohebo gently stroked his chest. The hardness was not tendons, but self-defense inner armor. It seemed that only by touching the inner armor could he feel at ease.

After escaping here, Murong Nuohebo's temperament changed drastically and he stayed at home, as if he was in prison. When he met with his subordinates, he did not even dare to let them get closer than ten steps. He was worried about removing their weapons and had to wear thick three layers of inner armor under his coat.

In summer and autumn, I realize that I don’t feel uncomfortable even if I have prickly heat.

Even in the backyard, when he is alone, he never leaves his side.

Murong Nuohebo was frightened out of his wits. He looked at his subordinates as if they were thieves...

In fact, it’s no wonder he...

Although Murong Nuohebo was the Khan of Tuyuhun, he was born into tragedy.

He succeeded to the throne at a young age and was only eleven years old when he became Khan. At that time, the ministers of Tuyuhun were fighting for power and the country was in chaos.

Murong Nuohebo was just like Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, a political bargaining chip that could be manipulated at will by powerful ministers until the Tang Dynasty sent Hou Junji to rescue and support him, helping Murong Nuohebo secure his position.

It was just that Murong Nuohebo was not capable enough, so he trusted the treacherous King Xuan, and made King Xuan the prime minister of Tuyuhun.

Then King Xuan conspired to attack Princess Honghua, intending to kidnap her and Nuohebo and surrender to Tibet. This time, Xi Jun bought the gods and descended to earth to kill King Xuan and quell the civil strife.

Then Li Shimin sent Tang Jian, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, to appease the people of Tuyuhun. He served as the Supreme Emperor for several years to stabilize the situation.

In the end, it barely lasted for ten years. This time, Su Hegui, the deputy prime minister whom Murong Nuobo trusted, turned against him and betrayed him again...

This time he was most dangerous. When he was escaping, a stray arrow shot him in the back of his heart...

As a generation khan, Murong Nuohebo was repeatedly betrayed by his subordinates, so that now he sees everyone as a traitor.

"Khan!"

The guards walked into the hall.

Murong Nuohebo sat up straight in shock and looked ahead warily.

The guard paused a little aggrievedly and said, "Young Master Ta is back. I have something to ask you to see the Great Khan."

Murong Nuohebo stood up excitedly: "Quick, let him in."

Murong Nuohebo has recently been receiving messages from his subordinates asking him to return to Fuqi City.

Murong Nuohebo also knew that he should go back, but he did not dare. Without the protection of his father in Tang Dynasty, how could he have the courage to return to Qinghai.

He was so desperate that he suspected that the person who persuaded him was a traitor in Tibet who asked him to go back and die.

"Father Khan!"

Murong Tao was tired of the journey. He came all the way on horseback, resting his shoes and horses for fear that he would be slow. Tang Ting and Tubo signed an agreement in Chang'an.

Murong Nuohebo said hurriedly: "Why are you alone? Has the emperor sent troops to escort you?"

Murong Tao shook his head, elaborated on the situation in Chang'an, and then brought up the issue of military pay. He was afraid that his father would be too preoccupied, so he specifically explained: "The Celestial Empire has been making constant moves in recent years, and there is indeed a situation where the national treasury is not rich."

Unexpectedly, Murong Nuohebo directly scolded: "There is no need to hesitate, just agree. As long as the Celestial Empire is willing to send troops, I, Tuyuhun, will bear all the military salaries. I will also choose a fertile and rich place in Qinghai for the Celestial Dynasty soldiers." land for them to live in.”

Murong Tao hesitated and said, "I'm not rich in Tuyuhun either."

Murong Nuohebo said without hesitation: "Then disarmament, how can our army have reliable heavenly soldiers?"
