Chapter 207

Every year, Tibet Zanpu and his ministers hold an alliance once a year, and if he is happy, the alliance does not happen several times a year.

As long as he wants to make trouble, all the ministers, such as the vassal Town, will set out for the holy city of luoxie (Lhasa).

The purpose of their alliance is to ensure the legitimacy of Tibet Zanpu.

The only way to prove Zanpu's uniqueness is to use blood as an alliance and other vows and ancient rituals. It is also an important ceremony for them to sign a contract and pledge allegiance to Zanpu.

Songzan Ganbu's influence in Tubo is beyond reach. His grandson mang Zan, after inheriting his brilliant industry, especially with the help of ludongzan, made the whole Tubo royal family in a very stable and stable situation.

The Tibetan army is like a copy of the military establishment of the Tang Dynasty, but in a general sense.

If we really study the military establishment of Tubo, we will find that their centripetal force and loyalty have nothing to do with the country, but with people.

Just as the ministers of the vassal towns were only loyal to Tibet Zanpu, not Tubo, the hierarchy of the monarchy made many officials know that the king did not recognize the Tubo.

Tubo has 61 soldiers in Dongdai, just like qianhufu in the Tang Dynasty. Every thousand households are under the jurisdiction of Ru at the upper level.

Tubo is divided into seven Ru, commanding its 61000 households. As the top power royal family of the Empire, every year, different numbers of people are drawn from each Ru to form the Royal Army, that is, the direct line forces of Zanpu, and the rest are under the jurisdiction of qiru.

Therefore, in Tubo, besides Zanpu and ludongzan, the most powerful and most likely to subvert the Tubo regime are the seven aristocratic classes governing qiru.

Some people called them "seven kings of Tianchi". They were scattered around the city of Luoxi. They were enfeoffed by Zanpu like princes, and they were in charge of the army in hand. They fought for the stability of Zanpu's royal family and the expansion of territory.

Conspiracy and estrangement are of no use to Tubo, which is now thriving and has a relatively sound and stable political system.

People here are as clear and pure as the sky in their belief in Zanpu. People's thoughts are simply loyal to the great God matsun Gampo.

Li Hong sat in the camp, listening to the reports from cheetah, Jingzhe and Heng Qiao. He was drawing his knife back and forth on the ground. He didn't believe that the Tubo was like a piece of iron, and there was no gap at all.

"Are you sure we haven't found anyone we can use?" Li Hong's tone was very light, as if he were afraid to disturb someone.

But the three cheetahs were pale. After two years, they did not succeed in the rebellion, even if one of the important figures in Tibet.

But their biggest achievement was that they made a great achievement without using their brains, that is, assassinating more than 1000 Tubo generals.

Today, more than 1000 Tubo generals are all soldiers. They are escorted by a large number of soldiers when they go out and go home. They seem to have become the national treasure of Tubo.

"The loyalty of each of the seven heavenly red Kings is beyond our imagination. Whether it is money, beauty or power, there is no way to make them think about it." Cheetah and Jingzhe kneel on the ground, drooping their heads and saying.

His royal highness gave them the maximum rights, but in the end, they had no other credit except to assassinate many Tibetan generals with Heng Qiao of Jingwei.

This makes them look very ashamed when facing Li Hong's inquiry, and feel that they have failed to live up to their Royal Highness's trust and expectation.

"Do you know Chidu Songjie?" Li Hong took out a list from his arms. In addition to the names of the seven kings of Tianchi, there was also a name of Chidu Songjie.

For Li Hong's interrogation, the three looked at each other, then nodded their heads and said, "master, I know this man."

"Tell me about him." Li Hong watched Bai Qi walk in leisurely from the outside. His black fur became brighter, just like silk, which made people want to cuddle and caress in his arms.

"My Lord, Chidu Songjie is a small Tibetan minister, only one level lower than the current Tibetan Prime Minister garzan Zhuo. He is also a power figure of Tubo. It is said that this person is very difficult to deal with, but he is extremely loyal to Zanpu." The cheetah looked dignified and said cautiously.

"In addition to Zanpu, Tubo was a prime minister, then a small one, followed by an inner prime minister and a grand equal in the whole affair. Chidu Songjie has been suppressed by ludongzan for many years. Now, after his death, he is suppressed by galanzo, the second son of ludongzan." Li Hong stroked Baiqi, who was sitting at his feet, and continued: "hengqiao, you can go to luosome and try to contact with Chidu Songjie."

Li Hong was able to have the information of Chidu Songjie because Bai Chun secretly sent information through the caravan after he entered Tibet.

However, as cheetah said, Chidu Songjie is extremely cunning and suspicious and cautious.

So far, only Bai Chun had a brief contact with him, and still did not get any commitment.

The Tang Dynasty is now vast and sparsely populated, not to mention Tibet, which is on the roof of the world and located on the Tibetan Plateau.

Since entering Tibet, Li Hong's more than 20000 troops have not met with effective resistance so far.Once in a while, some small tribal forces were encountered. The number was as small as dozens, but as many as two or three hundred people. One of them was knocked down by Li Hong's iron horse and lost its fighting capacity.

Just like the small waves splashed from Li Hong's steed along the way, it was impossible to prepare Li Hong's steeds for more than two years, posing a slight threat.

However, with the deepening of the war, the number of Tubo soldiers is also increasing. Fortunately, there are two guides who have been wandering in Tibet for two years, namely, Jingzhe and cheetah.

Therefore, Li Hong did not suffer from unfamiliarity in the terrain. On the contrary, some careless Tubo soldiers suffered a lot from previous encounters.

Tianchi seven kings, each a King City, each a fief, each hand in charge of a Ru Tubo soldiers and horses.

From the map drawn by Jingzhe and cheetah, we can see that the holy city of Tubo is protected in the middle according to the arrangement of Beidou seven stars.

These eight cities are basically the most prosperous and largest cities in the territory of Tubo, and the rest of the small tribes are either attached to or suppressed.

In short, in this area, which is defended by several big tribes, such as Ali, Shannan and Naqu, the Tibetan Zanpu is worshipped by all people like a God.

Zedang, the King City of Nie chizan, one of the seven kings of Tianchi, was also the first Tibetan general to bear the brunt and fight Li Hong in a decisive battle.

Under the command of Li Hong, his eyes were fixed on the rough map.

Li Hong carefully analyzed every terrain, every small nomadic tribe, and even a very small valley.

This is the first time that Li Hong began to set up fortifications in the wild. Even if he was lawless, he could see a trace of solemnity and caution in Li Hong's face.

In the past few years, they have carried out many small-scale operations with his Highness the prince, but this is the first time for them to build a fort.

After Li Hong arrived 30 Li below dazedang City, the fortifications to lure the enemy, the fortifications to destroy the enemy, the fortifications to block the enemy's breakout and reinforcements began to be built in this open area.

Li Hong dug out many trenches in the wide and flat grassland, which made lawless people wonder what it was for. Even Nie chizan, one of the seven Tianchi kings in Fangze City, was in a fog.

The perfect cavalry is the best battlefield for cavalry. The generals of the Tang Dynasty dug them like canals irrigated by water. But it is still far away from the Jiqu river. Why did he dig these ditches?

Nie chizan stood at the head of the city and watched. The excellent weather made his vision very clear. He could even see the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty running back and forth.

Looking at the pony under his hip, Nie chizan couldn't help but disdain the corners of his mouth. This kind of pony also wants to win over their tall horses?

A group of about ten cavalry left a trail of dust on the field, and then quickly entered from the gate of Zedang city.

After a while, the Tubo soldiers on horseback appeared at the head of the city and said to Nie chizan, "there are about 20000 cavalry in the Tang Dynasty. As in the last investigation, they did not move, as if waiting for reinforcements."

"If we attack tonight, we don't have to wait for scarzan's reinforcements. We have enough to eat them. But I have to pay tribute to the warriors of the Tang Dynasty. This is the first time they have invaded our territory. " Nie chizan is very relaxed, as if the sun rises tomorrow, those soldiers in the Tang Dynasty outside the city will be killed or become their slaves.

The cavalry of the Tang Dynasty were not good at fighting on the plateau, and now their horses looked short and small, and could not withstand the impact of their good Tibetan horses.

If you can't take these people with 50000 people in your hands, you can make people famous as the seven kings of Tianchi.

Comfortable day, slowly leisurely in the sun under the sun, far away from people's vision.

Hazy night with a cool breeze, so that people have to wake up and start to resist the long cold night.

The tents of the Tang army were brightly lit in the fields. No one knew how they got the food or all kinds of supplies.

It's a remote place, but judging from the appearance of the Tang army, it doesn't look like it came from an expedition with enough food and grass. Instead, it imitates the Buddha statue from which city it just came out.

Fifty thousand cavalry drove out of the gate in silence, and then the gate closed slowly.

Under Nie chizan's leadership, the Tubo soldiers did not rush at the first time, but walked slowly. Until they could see the brightly lit camp of the Tang Dynasty, and even the soldiers walking around the door could see clearly, they began to spread out their formation in silence like the tide and prepare to attack the camp of the Tang Dynasty.

Nie chizan looked at the still ignorant camp of the Tang Dynasty and sneered: "is the commander-in-chief of Datang a pig? We're all here, and they don't even know it. "
