Just when Ma Hua, Wang Xiongdan, and Cheng Chumo achieved a major victory, Yang Tong got a very unexpected and sudden news, and Xue Wanshu, the Taishou of the last county, and Li Mixia, the king of Xiangxiong, actually led the army to help the battle, Xue Wanshu's 1,000 soldiers were his own people, regardless of the estimate, Li Mixia, the king of Xiangxiong, actually brought 8,000 Zhangxiong elite horsemen.

The Xiangxiong Kingdom, also known as Yangtong, is an extremely ancient country, which can be traced back to 1500 B.C., and has a long life span and a long history. The territory of Zhangxiong is vast, reaching the Greater and Lesser Bolu in the west, that is, the Kashmir region, extending from Bolu to the southeast along the Himalayas, including the territory of the later Indo-Argentine San and Nibora, adjacent to Khotan, Dasui and Mojun in the north, and bordering Tibet in the east, it is a vast and sparsely populated country.

After Langri Zampu destroyed Subi, Tubo was shining on the plateau, trying to conquer Zhangzhung by force, but "the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse", although the strength of Zhangzhung at this time has declined, but at the beginning of the war, the gap between the two sides is not large, and Zhangzhung also knows that the success or failure of this battle will determine whether their country can survive, so they mobilized all forces to fight back, plus the Zhangzhung people are also heroic and aggressive, so that the war between the two sides has entered a state of tug-of-war. It can be said that the Tubo army and the Zhangxiong army have clashed in every piece of Zhangxiong, and Langri Zampu saw that he would not be able to get Zhangxiong for a while, and decided to marry Zhangxiong and form a good alliance between Qin and Jin.

Seeing that he was so kind, Lang Ri Zampu felt that since Li Mixia didn't want to marry his sister to himself, then the opposite, I will marry my sister to you, this should be okay, are you satisfied?

Li Mixia knew that the other party wanted to control Zhangxiong's internal affairs through the "lady route", and if the Tubo princess gave birth to a prince, he would be directly overthrown from the throne of the king, so that he could occupy Zhangxiong bloodlessly. Now that they all understand the other party's sinister intentions? How did he say yes?

The two countries then fought again.

But after all, the war is fought on Zhang-zhung soil? The losses and blows suffered by Zhangxiong are much higher than those of Tibet, and the Tibetan soldiers can fight well and produce many fierce generals? Wars over time? The balance of victory gradually tilted to the side of Tibet, and the national strength of Zhangxiong fell into the weakest period since the founding of the country? The situation is precarious, if there is no hundred years of peace for them to recuperate? The barren and bitter cold Zhangxiong can't even recover from the pre-war level? Not to mention the return to the peak of dominating the plateau. Li Mixia was helpless, so he decided to take his sister Li Tuman as the envoy and lead a delegation to Luoyang to seek the protection of the Great Sui? Finally, he officially joined the Silk Road Alliance.

This time Tubo and Tuyuhun attacked the Sui Dynasty? Not only did they threaten the safety of the Great Sui Dynasty, but the Zhangxiong people also felt tremendous pressure, and they knew very well that once the Tibetans won a brilliant victory in the East, they would inevitably add to the half-dead Zhangxiong Kingdom? They will face the fate of destroying their country and species.

When the envoy of the Great Sui Zongheng Division sent an envoy to Zhangxiong and asked Li Mixia to choose an opportunity to send troops? Only then did Li Mixia know that the Great Sui had already used troops against Tubo, and the Sui Emperor led the army to the plateau? Counterattack on Tibet.

This made Li Mixia very excited, with the unanimous encouragement of the domestic civil and military? He decided to personally lead the elite troops to assist the Great Sui in attacking Tibet? Not only to repay the Great Sui for his righteous protection in Zhangxiong's difficult time? It is also to abide by the Silk Road Alliance's charter of 'one side is in trouble, all sides support', of course, more importantly, Tubo is the common enemy of Zhangxiong and the Great Sui, if they can jointly defeat or destroy the country, the safety of Xiangxiong itself is very important.

The monarch of the friendly country personally led the troops to help the war, no matter what the purpose, it was a sign of friendliness, Yang Tong, as the sage Khan, did not refuse the reason, and now met the Xiangxiong monarch led by Li Mixia, who was in the military camp.

Li Mi is about forty years old, tall and burly, and his handsome face is tanned and shiny, giving people a sense of strength and strength.

Beside him is a young girl in a green shirt, her beautiful face is full of heroism, she hangs a scimitar from her waist, it seems that she is heroic and sassy, and her steps are vigorous, it is the Zhangxiong princess Li Tuman who has been to Luoyang to meet.

In addition, there are five elite young generals, their hair styles are uniform, and the men and women all hang down dozens of twisted braids, which are no different from the Tibetans. It seems that although the relationship between the two countries is hostile, many customs and habits of Tibet, a 'nouveau riche', are influenced by the ancient Zhangxiong Kingdom.

"Xiabang Li Mixia, meet His Majesty the Venerable Sage Khan." Li Mixia placed one hand across his left chest and bowed deeply.

"King Xiangxiong is exempt." Yang Tong motioned to Li Mixia to calm down, and said to the others with a smile: "You don't need to be polite, please take a seat!" ”

"Thank you, the holy Khan." A few more people saluted, and then sat down.

Yang Tong let everyone serve tea, and introduced Du Ruhui, Pei Xingyan, Wang Fubao, and Niu Jinda to everyone, and then said to Li Mixia sincerely: "My Great Sui is a state of etiquette, and the Sui army is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and a teacher of civilization; Although the Kingdom of Zhangxiong has lived in the Western Regions for a long time, the particularity of its geographical location has created the innate advantage of Zhangxiong to become a post station on the ancient Silk Road, so since the Han Dynasty, it has been friendly and cooperative with the Central Plains of our country, complementing each other. As an ancient civilization with a long history, the Great Sui hated all barbaric acts that undermined peace, and the barbaric country of Tubo not only caused Zhangxiong to be killed, but also threatened the peace of the border and the region of the Great Sui...... Therefore, I personally led the Great Sui Xiong Division and decided to corpse the barbarian soldiers led by Langri Zampu on the plateau...... I am deeply grateful that King Xiangxiong was able to come to the aid of the war with a large army from thousands of miles away. ”

Li Mixia and several generals glanced at each other, and they were all overjoyed: they did not fight nearby, but traveled thousands of miles to here, in order to let the Great Sui see their sincerity and affirm their merits? Emperor Sui now has a high opinion of Xiang Xiong, which makes them all feel that this trip is worthwhile.

Li Mixia said a little ashamedly: "Xiao Wang's incompetence made the people of Zhangxiong deeply slaughtered and oppressed by Tubo, but fortunately the protection of the sage Khan, so that the country of Zhangxiong can be preserved, and this kindness is like reconstruction." Now that the saint Khan is on the plateau, Xiao Wang should do his best to repay the grace of the saint! From now on, I will be the head of the Great Sui for generations, if I violate this oath, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, and the people and gods will abandon it! ”

Listening to Li Mixia's impassioned words, Yang Tong's face twitched slightly......

You can really do it, you can even talk better than Lao Tzu!

Zhangxiong was not slaughtered and oppressed by the Turks, and it was a matter of the Great Sui?

And almost let Tubo lose the country, if you don't rely on the Great Sui, don't talk about Tubo, I'm afraid that Big and Small Bolu will also take the opportunity to go east...... Xiangxiong is like this, do you have to say that it is so high-sounding and impassioned?

However, for the Great Sui, Zhangxiong living on the barren land is no longer good, without a hundred years of peaceful development, it will not be able to recover to the pre-war level at all, and the snowy plateau is not a pure land respected by religion, if Zhangxiong himself is not strong, the surrounding wolves will tear him apart, and in the future, it will only be a little stronger than the small countries in the Western Regions, and it will not be considered at this stage. And the Tubo who intends to tear apart the Great Sui and swallow the whale is the current enemy of the Great Sui.

Yang Tong said happily: "This is very good! Da Sui and Zhangxiong are good neighbors and friends, and when we destroy Tibet, we will discuss follow-up cooperation. ”

"As it should be." Li Mixia bowed slightly and asked, "Dare to ask the Sage Khan, but I don't know how the war is going today?" ”

"Huh??" Yang Tong couldn't help but look at Xue Wanshu, didn't this thing already know the course of the war? returned the letter, why didn't you tell Li Mixia?

"Qi Qi Sheng, Weichen and King Zhangxiong traveled day and night, and they didn't know the battle situation." Facing Yang Tong's puzzled gaze, Xue Wanshu hurriedly said.

Yang Tong understood.

Xue Wanshu deliberately stuck on this product and didn't say it, so that Li Mixia felt shocked here, to put it simply, he gave himself the opportunity to pretend to be forced.

At the moment, he leisurely drank a few sips of hot tea, and said lightly: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just a small goal." ”

"How small is the small goal of the Holy Finger?" Xue Wanshu asked whimsically.

"It's not much, it's just about 90,000 enemies." I only heard Yang Tong say again: "A few days ago, the soldiers of our army fought bravely to kill the enemy, first annihilated 30,000 elite soldiers of Langri Zampu at Jishi Pass, and then completely destroyed the 50,000 elite soldiers of Kol in the Doma Valley; One night three days ago, he easily destroyed 10,000 soldiers of Cai Bang Nathan. ”

Li Mixia and the others were shocked, and said discoloredly: "Destroy 90,000 enemies? On Cole, Chapon Nathan are dead? ”

"What are Cole and Chapon Nathan?" Du Ruhan, who was on the side, added indifferently: "The so-called Tubo Mengjiang branch competition is Ru Gongton, Niang Chisang Yangton, Niang Shangju, Ge Lu Saigon, Ge Ergu Ado, Niang Tong Gu, Niang Chisang, Wei Moye...... and so on, dozens of titans have let us solve it easily. ”

"Sage Khan, this... It's true..."

Du Ruhui's words were like a thunderbolt, which made the elephant male tinnitus and dazzling, unbelievable.

"Or else?" Yang Tong said calmly: "The Tibetans are much easier to deal with than the Turks. ”

This is true.

The weapons and equipment of the Tibetans are not as advanced as those of the Turks, and the weapons and equipment of the Great Sui have undergone earth-shaking changes compared with the beginning. Li Mixia was speechless.

Although there are many conjectures about the results of the Sui army, even the worst one, I never thought that the Great Sui would achieve such a brilliant record, and people still regard the 90,000 fierce Tubo army that killed them Xiangxiong and almost wiped out the country as a 'small target', it is also an ancient nation, why is the gap between the Great Sui and Zhangxiong so big?

"Holy Lord, General Wang has sent good news." At that moment, a soldier entered the account and reported it.

Yang Tong smiled: "Say it quickly." ”

"Our army last night to exhaust the strategy, causing the Tubo army to be paralyzed and careless, negligent prevention, General Wang personally led 200 soldiers to set fire to the camp, it is said that the Tubo died in the fire of the army of 4,000; At dawn, General Wang challenged the Tibetan army head-on, and Ludong Zanfeng only numbered 2,000 of our army, so he sent 5,000 elite soldiers to fight, as a result, our army suffered seven casualties, annihilated more than 4,000 enemies, and the enemy's main general, Nong Zhunbao, fell off his horse and died. ”

Hearing the soldiers say this, the Xiangxiong people all showed a look of horror, and with seven casualties, they won the result of destroying the enemy by 4,000? Is it so exaggerated? Could it be that the Sui army is all iron? It's also scary.

What shocked them even more was that whether it was Yang Tong or the general in the tent, even the soldiers who reported the news were indifferent, as if no one took this kind of victory seriously.

This made Li Mixia, Li Tuman and others look at each other, such a record is quite an unsuccessful victory in their opinion, and they really don't understand why Yang Tong and them are so unassured.

I couldn't help the curiosity in my heart, and seeing that Yang Tong was watching the battle report, Li Mixia came to the side of his old acquaintance Xue Wanshu, and asked in a puzzled whisper: "Sage Khan, your army has won such a big victory with 2,000 troops, which can be described as a rare encounter in a century, why don't you feel joy?" ”

"Rare in a century?" Xue Wanshu glanced at Yang Tong, shook his head and said with a smile: "The king doesn't know, since the Holy Shang joined the army, in the past few years, my Great Sui has defeated the enemy army at a small cost every time in the battle with the Sisai barbarians, and when the Holy Lord was on an expedition to the East/Turks, he once annihilated hundreds of thousands of people in Tiele and Luo without losing anyone; Therefore, General Wang's small victory is really nothing to be happy about, and if General Wang is complacent because of this, he will be regarded as a laughing stock by the soldiers. ”

"Aha?"

Li Mixia and others were shocked and stunned, in their opinion, the victory of exchanging seven people for thousands is already a glorious record that can be shown off for a lifetime and publicized for hundreds of years, but in the eyes of the Sui people, not only is it not a glory, but it can't even be mentioned, otherwise they will be laughed at, which makes them embarrassed by the Xiangxiong who were ravaged by the Tubo people? The gap is too big, right?

However, although they were shocked, no one doubted Yang Dong's achievements, because with the smooth passage of the Silk Road, Yang Tong's various amazing achievements and legends had already spread throughout the Xiangxiong country through caravans.

Thinking about it, Li Mixia and others understood.

It's just that Yang Tong, a man who looks like a scholar, is really fierce.

"After Lu Dong Zanliu left 5,000 soldiers, he played with Wang Xiongdan and personally led more than 60,000 troops to fight." At this time, Yang Tong put down the battle report in his hand and said: "Our military camp was too small before, there was no place to set up a lineup, and it was impossible to achieve the goal of gathering and annihilating it. ”

All the generals stood up and said, "Please give the Holy Order!" ”

"In this battle, the First Army was the main force of the operation, the Ninth Army sent 10,000 or 5,000 Qiang soldiers to assist, and General Wang sat in the camp." In the battle of Doma Town, the main force was the Ninth Army, and Yang Tong changed to a stronger First Army this time, not only to reduce losses, but also to let Li Mixia see the combat effectiveness of the Sui Army, "Pei Xingyan, Yang Feng, Su Wu, the three of you will take the First Army and the Qiang soldiers first." Niu Jinda, you order 10,000 soldiers of the Ninth Army and go out with me"

"The last will obey." The generals bowed and retreated.

"King Zhangxiong, do you want your soldiers to rest?" Yang Tong looked at Li Mixia.

Li Mixia immediately understood what Yang Tong meant, and hurriedly got up and said: "Back to the Sage Khan, my Zhangxiong warriors can go to the battlefield at any time, if the Sage Khan needs it, we can also transfer 30,000 soldiers from Zhangxiong, but the combat strength is not as good as these 8,000 soldiers." ”

Yang Tong knew that the other party was saying polite words, so he didn't take the 30,000 soldiers in Zhangxiong's country seriously, he knew the situation of Zhangxiong very well, 40,000 soldiers was the limit, really let Li Mixia pour out the nest to fight, I'm afraid he wouldn't agree, besides, even if he really brought those soldiers here, but this time, it would take a month or two to say the least, and when the 30,000 people arrived here, the war was over, and the Great Sui had to pay for it. But this Li Mixia guy can talk about it, and this attitude makes people feel comfortable.

"It's just tens of thousands of soldiers, there's no need to make such a big move." Yang Tong paused for a moment, and then said: "Tubo has raised the whole country's troops to fight, and has lost nearly 100,000 elite soldiers so far, and if you add all kinds of materials, Tubo's strength has lost at least half of it. And the more than 60,000 elite soldiers in Lu Dongzan's hands are equivalent to half of the current strength of Tubo. As long as they are annihilated here, Tubo will be on the weak side for a long time, which will not only be conducive to the peace of the Great Sui border, but also enable the Xiangxiong Kingdom to live and work in peace and contentment, so I hope that the King of Zhangxiong will fight side by side with my Great Sui this time. ”

Li Mixia gave a deep salute, "The Zhangxiong warriors are willing to obey the dispatch of the sage Khan!" It's just that we've been on the road for a long time, and we're hungry. ”

Yang Tong smiled and ordered Wang Fubao and Xue Wanshu to take them down to eat.

。。。。。。

After Li Mixia, Li Tuman's brothers and sisters and several Xiangxiong generals left, only Yang Tong and Du Ruhui were left in the tent.

Du Ruhui asked, "The Holy Lord plans to support the Zhangxiong Kingdom?" ”

Yang Tong said: "The Xiangxiong Kingdom is in the outflanking of the Great Sui, Tubo, Khotan, the Great and Small Bolu, the Daughter Kingdom, and Tianzhu, which can help us intercept the Great and Small Bolu and the Daughter Kingdom to the east, and the Tianzhu Kingdom to the north, and can also restrict the development of Tubo, so its existence is not bad." ”

Du Ruhui frowned and said, "I'm afraid that the Xiangxiong Kingdom will become the second Eastern/Turkic." ”

"Supporting Zhang-zhung as the overlord of the plateau is the most stupid thing to do. I just want to maintain the state of Zhangxiong. ”

"That's fine." Du Ruhui smiled reassuringly, and reminded: "As the saying goes, 'those who are not of my race will have different hearts', Weichen sees that Li Mixia is also an ambitious person, and the saint uses him, but also to guard against him, and it is a safe way to think in the long run." ”

Yang Tong smiled and nodded, "I remember!" ”
