Chastity Layman

  Chapter 1062 What is the East Zan of Gar?

  Northwest of Songzhou.

  South **** of Yanyang Mountain, branch ditch of Yangdong River, odd narrow valley.

  The valley is as its name suggests, the canyon is long and narrow. There are many mountains on both sides, green forests, towering ancient trees in the forest, branches and branches blowing the ground, wildebeest, clouded leopard, golden monkey and various rare and exotic animals live here.

   This is a place outside the world.

  But because the Yangdong River is a tributary of the Minjiang River, since Qin Qiong guarded and managed Songzhou, he widened and built a road along the Yangdong River Valley leading to Dangxiang and Tuyuhun outside the Guan, so it became more and more lively every year.

  Qi Narrow Valley also established a pass, and even on both sides of the pass, merchants gradually built restaurants and inns for rest and accommodation, and caravans also established mules and horse shops here to replace horses and mules.

  Related in the valley, named Leiguan, Ningyuan Army used to call it Leidaguan. It is said that before the construction of the pass, there was a huge stone near this place, which was struck by lightning dozens of times every year, and the locals called it Leidashi.

Later, the Ningyuan army built a pass here. The huge rock was originally intended to be cut down to build the city, but just as the construction was about to start, there was a violent thunderstorm that night. Everyone was surprised to find that the huge rock was shattered into pieces by lightning land.

Instead, the work of digging was saved, and the stones shattered by the thunder were transported back to build the city. It is strange to say that since the huge stone was shattered by the thunder to build the pass city, it was originally struck by thunder dozens of times a year. Since then, I have never been struck by lightning again.

   Leiguan built by thunder and stone, behind is a strange narrow valley, a line of sky for forty miles, and in front is thousands of ravines converging, forming four mountains, rivers and valleys like a cross.

  Guan is located here, blocking the only way along the Yangdong River to the Minjiang River and directly to Songzhou along the river.

  Gal Dongzan stood outside Leida Pass, looking up at the pass city in front of him.

   "It's really majestic. Is this the Thunder Pass made of Thunder Stone?"

   "That's right, this is it."

  Gar Dongzan looked at it carefully, and he had heard the name of Lei Daguan in Songzhou when he was in Tubo, which was more famous than Gansong Village on Gansongling.

  Just now, I didn’t think this pass was majestic from a distance, but when I walked to this pass, I realized that this pass seemed inconspicuous, but it was actually very majestic.

  The cliffs on the two walls are too high, making the pass seem not big, but when I stand in front of it, I realize that the pass is very high.

   Next to Gar Dongzan is a Tubo businessman who often walks through this pass. He speaks Chinese well. He has to walk this road many times every year, and he has also entered and exited this pass countless times.

"This pass is built across the Yangdong River. There are two forts in one pass. There are three pass walls and six pass gates. There are six pass forts in total. The pass is six feet high and three feet wide at the bottom. They are all made of solid stones. It is very solid." Although the guide has been here countless times, every time he passes through the pass, he is still amazed.

  The people of the Tang Dynasty leaned against the mountains and leaned against the gorge, and took advantage of the situation to complete the pass. The repairs were very majestic and majestic.

  At the mouth of the narrow and dangerous canyon, three pass walls were built across the river, each with two sides, and two pass fortresses were built on the cliffs.

   There is always an elite Ningyuan army stationed at such a pass.

  Gar Dongzan couldn't help frowning. The Ningyuan Army's mountain fortresses he encountered in Domi, Bailan, and Tubo were strong enough, and he didn't knock down a single one after fighting several times.

   At any rate, it is still possible to bypass it, but right now, this roadblock cannot be bypassed.

He looked around. Although the pass is located at the mouth of the canyon, it is not entirely on the mouth. In fact, it is about two miles inside the mouth of the canyon. These two miles do not seem to be long, but if we really want to launch an attack, such a thin line of sky Such a narrow pass, but it is difficult to deploy any troops, let alone any equipment.

   Then look at the two sides of the pass, the two cliffs are like blades, there is no chance at all.

  The use of this terrain is better than thousands of troops.

   "I heard that there is Yanmen Pass in the north of the Central Plains, known as the first pass in the world, and Tongguan Pass in the middle of the pass, also known as the natural barrier. Are those more dangerous than this?"

The guide nodded, "I have passed through Tongguan Pass, and I have also been to Yanmen Pass in Daibei. Compared with those two places, Leida Pass is very ordinary. Let's say that Yanmen Pass is the Great Wall Pass built by the Han people in the Central Plains. It is a pass. The circumference of the city is several miles, the height of the city is several feet, and it guards the pass of more than 60 miles. It is a large defensive fortress integrating the city, pass, fort, and pass. Tongguan is even better. Thousands of troops are stationed. In comparison, this Lei Daguan is very ordinary, it just borrows some terrain, and the usual resident soldiers are only a few hundred, and there are only three pass walls."

  It’s just one, and Gal Dongzan was secretly startled when he heard it. Such a dangerous pass, he actually talked about it. How dangerous are Yanmen Pass and Tong Pass?

  The mountain wind blew past, and Gar suddenly felt a little cold.

  Because the flames of war had been ignited long ago, Lei Daguan had already closed and locked its doors, and those shops outside the pass had also closed their doors and closed their doors long ago, and all the vendors had left completely.

  The pass was closed quietly, but Gar had already discovered the shadow of cold arrows on the high pass wall and the fortresses on both sides.

   Urging the horse to come to the pass.

  Gar shouted to Guanshang, revealing his identity as a Tubo envoy.

   There was a whoosh.

  A feathered arrow hit his foot, almost touching his shoe toe, and Gar's heart was beating violently.

  He forced himself to be calm, and registered loudly again.

   "Is the comer Xiaofan Chourong?"

  A guard with a helmet on the pass appeared and asked loudly.

   "I am Gal Dongzan, the envoy of Dafan. I was ordered by my family Zanpu to go to Songzhou to mourn Duke Qi, and to send a message to Songzhou City!"

   "Gar what?"

   "Gar Dongzan."

   "What Dongzan?"

  …

  What a **** name, I have never heard of such a number one person in Tubo, I only heard that there is a man named Lun Kerr and another named Shang Nang in Tubo, and what is the name of your chief's name, Qi Zongnong? The farmer who turned his back on his ancestors? Hahaha, what kind of ghost names are they? "

   "I heard that the nobles of Tubo are arguing and discussing, are you advocating or discussing?"

   These words were undoubtedly deliberately teasing him.

  The Gar family was not native of Tubo, neither theory nor tradition. Although the Gar family has always claimed that their family is a descendant branch of the Mu family, one of the four ancient clans on the plateau, it is difficult to verify such a long-term matter.

  The Gar family was not from Tubo.

  Before Langri Lunzan, Songtsen Gampo and his sons led Tubo to dominate the plateau, the plateau was an era of small countries coexisting, and the three kingdoms of Tubo, Subi, and Zhangzhung were the strongest.

  The Gar family belonged to the Subi state. His family was originally one of the two great ministers of the Sengbojie family, the ruler of Yanbo Chasong, one of the twelve small states of Subi.

  The area ruled by the Senbojie family is exactly the Luoxie River Basin. Now the newly moved capital of Tubo, Luoxie City, was actually originally ruled by the Subisenbojie family.

  A long time ago, the Tubo royal family, the Xiboye family, was just a small state living in the south of the mountain.

During the era of Songtsan Gampo’s grandfather Dabnese, there was internal strife in the Senboje family, and it was divided into two branches, Senboje Dajiawu and Senboje Chi Bangsong. It was at that time that the Gar family belonged to the Tubo moved from Luoxie Pengyu to Qiongjie, Shannan.

  Later, Songtsan Gampo’s father, Langri Lunzan, took advantage of the civil strife in Subi and sent troops to help one side.

After Tubo exterminated Subi, the Luoxie area was not handed over to the original Senbojie family to continue to manage it, but out of political needs, it was handed over to the family who was born here, but had already belonged to Tubo and moved to the south of Shannan for a long time. Gar family.

With the support of the royal family, the Gar family ruled the Luoxi River Basin, and it can be regarded as entering the political core circle of Tubo. After Langri Lunzan was poisoned and killed, the Gar family also resolutely supported the young Songtsan Gampo. Their family is now on a higher level.

Gal Dongzan’s father, Garchi Zhazimen, served as the prime minister in the Langri Lunzan era. After Men's death, although his eldest son Garmang Xiang Songnang failed to become the prime minister, he also became Songtsan Gampo's confidant general.

  Although the Gar family was not a royal family, Songtsen Gampo ranked him with several Tubo elder families and granted him the status of Lun together.

   It is said that Songtsan Gampo admired Gar Dongzan's elder brother Mangxiang Songnang very much, and planned to promote him to the second minister.

Therefore, Galdongzan can also be called Lundongzan. His full name is Galdongzan Yusong. At this time, he relied on the relationship between his father and brother and the family background. Although he was not yet forty years old, he could It has already emerged in the Tubo court, and it is appreciated and valued by Zanpu.

Although the Gar family is not a royal family, and even originally belonged to the aristocrats from Subi, the Tubo royal family has been reusing the aristocrats attached to Subi and Houzang from the time of Langri Lunzan to balance the original Tubo’s old aristocrats. Aristocratic power.

  The background of the Gar family not only did not affect their status in the Tubo court, but instead made their family more trusted by Zanpu.

   "The general can call someone Lun Dongzan!"

   "Wait."

  Guan Guanshou will repeat the next sentence, and there will be no further text.

  Gar Dongzan Yusong waited at the gate for an hour, and then the guard's words came again after the gate was closed, "That Gar Dongzan is still talking about Dongzan. Go back where you came from."

   "There is someone here, even a little fan dog slave would never have thought about passing through this pass!"

   "Get out!"

  Gal Dongzan did not expect this result, "Behind me is the 300,000 Tubo army led by my Zanpu..."

  Before he finished speaking, he closed the door and shot an arrow, but this time it came straight at him, and Gal Dongzan hurriedly backed away to avoid it.

"Shut down that dog slave and listen, the arrow just now was to be polite to you, otherwise it would not have been shot by a single arrow, but thousands of arrows would have shot you into a beehive. I am guarding Leiguan, and I am not afraid of you little fan slaves, So what if it comes to a million? If you have the guts, go back and recruit soldiers now, and fight grandpa with real knives and guns, or stop talking and talk, get out!"

  Gal Dongzan never expected that the 200,000 Tubo army behind him would be the backer, and he would be an envoy to pass through Leiguan.

  He was still thinking about relying on his own ability to coerce and persuade the Songzhou Tang army to surrender. How can he go back to deal with Zanpu now?

   But facing the majestic pass and the arrogant and domineering Tang general guarding the pass, the eloquent Gar Lundongzanyusong was helpless.
