The Tibetan envoys who had delivered things had dinner and rested in the city, wandering around, reconnoitring the enemy's situation and gathering intelligence.

There are streets and roads in the city, the ground is still dirt, the houses are built with cement, and at intervals, a group of tents and stables appear.

There are Tang soldiers working, and I also saw some people.

The people wore their own clothes, the standard uniforms of the Tang soldiers, the military coats, and the occasional team that did not wear a military coat patrolled with things in their hands.

The envoy thought that the troops were different, and the real situation was that there were not enough military coats, and this year's cotton was working overtime to make army coats.

Some teams that are not very strong in combat are wearing leather clothes for the time being, and some are second-hand goods sent before.

Last year, Li Zhuangzi bought a large number of things at the pawnshop in Jingzhaofu, came back to renovate them, and sent them to the border to the soldiers.

At present, the clothes are changed one after another, and the leather clothes and boots that have been changed are given to the people who transport the baggage in Shu and the rear troops.

The Tibetan tribes do not need it, they have their own leather clothes and leather boots.

They prefer Datang's needlework, the cotton thread is strong, the size of the needle is in a set, with a thimble, ten rolls of thread without color, and a sheep can be exchanged for three sets.

The needle is easy to use, send a small threader, the needle is not so easy to make.

Where did the people of the Tubo tribe know the speed at which Li Zhuangzi made needles, and used a wire drawer to pull the wire.

After the drawing is fine, there is a tool table, the iron wire is placed on it, and a large iron block with a tip falls, and the tip is put into the groove, and a wire is cut out of the hole.

Lifted up, dislocated to the side, fell, and sections of iron wire were broken.

Lifted up again, misplaced again, fell, and the punched place was crushed through.

Take it out, manually grind the back on the foot-operated grinding wheel, grind it smooth, and then grind the front to sharpen the tip, which is a needle.

When grinding, it is also against the hole, first put the place where the wire has a pinhole, there is a hole from thick to thin, and the internal grinding wheel will come out as soon as it goes in.

Tossed aside, the number is too large, and the next person's position is taken.

This person turned the wire around, put a small hole in the place where it needed to be sharpened, pricked it in, and then took it out, and the tip of the needle appeared.

The manual cold rolling mill is not as pure automation as Li Yi was at that time, but it saves a lot of time than making a formation now.

I made a set of needles, and sold them in a small box with a thimble and a lead tool in bamboo.

The people of Datang Jingzhao Mansion and the surrounding areas buy with household registration, one penny for a set, and the line depends on how much to buy, and the money is calculated according to the quantity.

There is no household registration, a set of five dollars, and it is too expensive to do it yourself.

When I went to Tibet, I exchanged one sheepskin for three boxes, and gave one or two heavy threads for ten rolls.

The place that is too far away cannot be taken care of for the time being, so the merchant buys it for five dollars a box and transports it to sell elsewhere.

The envoy saw an official stall that was selling things for the Tibetan tribes.

There are kitchen knives, scissors, iron nails or something, anyway, it's cheaper than making it yourself.

They bought it, and they bought the jade and dzi that they had brought.

In addition to using it yourself, you should also bring it back as a gift.

They rested in the city for a bowl, and the next day they set out to find the tribes.

"Twenty sheepskins, or ten sheep, are needed." The leading messenger came first to the tribe of Bilala, which was the closest.

"No." Pilara didn't even boil tea, and now he is determined to be a Tang Dynastyman.

In that case, if you people from Tibet come to me and ask me for something, why should I give it to you?

"Say it again?" The messenger drew his sword.

Immediately following the group of people around him drew his knife, Pyra sneered: "Believe it or not, I let you die here?" Go back and tell your Zampu, I'm a rebel, and now we are Tang people. ”

"What is your glory as Tibetans?" The messengers are stupid, traitor? You are at the forefront, you rebel, what should we do?

"What glory? The glory of not having enough to eat and not being warm? Now we are the Tang Dynasty, and we are the descendants of Yan and Huang. ”

Bila rightly pushed back, afraid of you?

I've been worried about you all day long, and I've been beaten by others, where is your logistics? Where's the reinforcements?

We just give you things, help you fight, kill our people?

The key is that I can't defeat the Tang army, and I still count on relying on the city to survive in winter.

"Wait for Zamp's army to come and encircle you. Let's go! ”

The messenger got angry, threw down a cruel word, and led the people to the next tribe.

Due to the heavy snowfall, it was noon when the envoy arrived at the next tribe who lived at the edge of the city.

When I arrived at the place, I saw a group of people practicing skis, and the children were the happiest, giggling and falling from time to time.

The leader of the tribe was enthusiastic and invited the messengers to drink red deer soup.

They got word that there was a red deer that had broken away from the group and had fallen about thirty miles to the southwest.

So they rode the sled that they had lent them and looked, and sure enough, they were too old to bear the fatigue and the cold, and they fell.

They brought back antlers, deer skins, deer whips and other things to the Tang people in the city, and the deer tendons were also taken off separately.

They eat the rest of the meat themselves, make soup for the elderly, children, and women, and don't eat it in the prime of life, and one deer is not enough to eat.

In the past, it was eaten in the prime of life, but there were absolutely no old people, there were women who were pregnant and nursing children, and there were boys among the children.

Nowadays, learning from the Tang Dynasty, the strong are responsible for protecting the weak.

As a leader, you can eat, just when the messenger of Tibet came.

The leader is absolutely a Tang Dynasty person, and when the Tibetan envoy arrives, he should give him a soup to drink.

"I need you to fight the tribe over there." The messenger thought that the other party still regarded him as a noble person.

"The tribe of Bilala? He is now a Tang Dynasty like us, how can I go and beat him? I want to beat him, I belong to betraying Datang. ”

The tribal leader is reasonable, you can't fight, we are a family.

"You're rebelling too? You're not afraid of Zampu sending troops? The messenger understood.

"We have all become Datang people, we can go into the city to live, send people outside to watch the livestock, and it will get better when the spring comes."

The clan leader saw what the other party meant, and estimated that he would have to borrow troops from the brother next to him.

Kind reminder, it's useless to go, this is the last time to help you.

From now on, we will return to the road and the bridge to the bridge.

"Why?" The envoy did not expect that in a war, Tibet would lose not only land, but also a large number of tribes.

"Ask Tashi Kure, he has made mistakes in command again and again, forcing us into a corner, where is your logistics? You don't send troops.

We were faced with a large number of monkeys, hot air balloons, and explosives bags.

The deer soup you drank, the hot air balloon of Datang was seen thirty miles away, and we went over to pick it up.

You tell me how to fight? The scouts cannot come in within thirty miles, and we are not afraid of death, but we cannot be sent to death in vain. ”

The clan leader complained that there were no reinforcements and logistics, and he expected my clan to fight with the Tang Dynasty?

If Datang wants to exterminate the clan, I will fight.

Datang didn't fight, but also discussed changing things, and ran over to help without weapons in case of a snow disaster.

I've wiped out the entire tribe for you, are you sure I still have a place in Tibet?

I'm also here to live, do you think Datang won't slaughter people?

Among them was Zhang Xiaosong, who slaughtered three cities in a row because of the resistance of the other party in the last fight in the Western Regions.
