Chapter 367: Borrowing Soldiers
After calming Li Zunwei's emotions, Wan Yankang interrogated him overnight and began to torture him.
Wan Yankang originally thought that it would take a lot of effort and even use the Dafa of Soul Dementorship to make Xingkong obedient.
Who knew that this person had been tortured by life and death for an hour, and he had no backbone. After Wan Yan Kang temporarily suppressed the life and death talisman for sexual emptiness, this person became extremely obedient, and immediately poured beans like a bamboo tube, telling all the news that Wan Yan Kang wanted to know.
The territory of Tibet was larger than that of the three Western Xia, and it was almost on the same level as the Jin and Song dynasties. But the total population of Tubo at this time is really touching, according to the description of Xingkong, Wan Yankang estimated that the total population of Tubo is now more than one million.
With a population of only one million, it is ridiculous that they dare to take the initiative to get involved in the struggle between major powers.
What's even more ridiculous is that at this time, Tibet was no longer a unified country, and it was itself in a state of division.
The Tibetan Dynasty was established in the early Tang Dynasty, with Songtsen Gampo as the first monarch. Under the leadership of Songtsen Gampo, Tibet gradually walked out of the closed inland plateau and showed a state of vitality.
During the Anshi Rebellion, because Tang Xuanzong dispatched a large number of troops to defend Tubo to quell the rebellion, the western defense was empty, and Tubo took the opportunity to occupy Longyou and other places in the Tang Dynasty, and its strength reached its peak.
Because Tubo seized the Tang land, and then the two countries continued to fight, after all, Tubo had few people and weak strength, and its strength was gradually weakened. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Zampu Dama did not set up an heir before his death, and his two sons competed for the throne, and the ministers were divided into two factions.
Since then, the Tibetan royal family has been divided into two branches, and there have been endless battles for many years, and generals from all over the country have also supported their own troops.
This was followed by a great slave uprising, which swept through Tibet.
Under the internal and external difficulties, the Tubo Dynasty officially disintegrated, and the large and small regimes divided one side and fought against each other. The original powerful Tubo Dynasty had a population of seven or eight million at its peak, but after hundreds of years of tossing, the population was only one-third of that of Western Xia, only one million.
In today's Tibet, there are more than a dozen large and small forces, and there are three largest forces, namely the Lhasa royal line, the Ali royal line, and the Yaze royal line.
King Yaze is the contemporary Zampu Budaze, just past the year of its establishment, which can be described as both civil and military. He was ambitious, and had little interest in unifying the barren Tubo Plateau, but had always been concerned about the situation in the Central Plains, trying to find an opportunity to lead his troops eastward and seize the rich land of the Central Plains.
Under the rule of Budaze, Huanxi Zen and Vajra Sect were equal in power, and this time Xingkong took the initiative to ask for help, and went out of the mountain to persuade Li Zunwei to join forces with Tubo to fight against Jin, the purpose was to make immortal achievements and lay the status of Huanxi Zen Buddhism as the dominant family.
In the sexual hollow, he also played a little ninety-nine, if he could use this to get on the thigh of Xixia, it could make him more powerful, and the cultivation furnace in the future would no longer be a problem.
Among the various sects of Tantra, the Joy Zen method is the most evil, and if you find a suitable furnace, your skills will progress rapidly.
In the original plan, Li's mother's skills were the best remuneration and resources for sexual emptiness. It's just that he never expected that he was about to make great progress in his skills and reach the pinnacle of his life, but because of the variable of Wanyan Kang, he was knocked out of the clouds into the dust.
The practice of Huanxi Zen is quite easy, so compared with other ascetic sects, the people of this sect have always been weak-willed, and they have always been greedy for life and afraid of death. If the people of the Vajra Sect are planted with life and death talismans, most of them will bite their tongues and commit suicide, and there are very few people as soft as sexuality.
Sex is empty, but he is reluctant to die, he hasn't seen much of the flower world outside the plateau! When Yan Kang saved Xingkong's life, this person heard that the emperor of the Jin Kingdom was useful for himself, so he tried every means to show his worth.
In terms of Wan Yankang's position, the only way to seek Tibet is to seek Tibet,
In order to embody the value of emptiness. After answering Yan Kang's various questions, he thought hard about it and actually came up with a poisonous plan.
In the name of Li Zunwei, he borrowed 200,000 troops from Budaze, rewarded him with beauties and heavy money, and promised Xining Prefecture. As soon as Budazze's army arrived, an ambush was set up and annihilated.
With the national strength of Tibet, as long as the 200,000-strong army is destroyed, its 10,000-mile territory will not be taken and demanded.
When Wan Yankang heard this, he stroked his palms and laughed: "This plan is wonderful!" ”
At this time, Wan Yankang sighed secretly in his heart, if this person hadn't offended Mother Li, he would have been a little reluctant to kill this person, although this person was insidious and vicious, but villains also have the usefulness of villains!
"Tubo is vast and sparsely populated, and the population is only one million, how can you gather 200,000 soldiers and horses?" After Yan Kang pondered for a moment, even if he made a request to borrow troops in the name of Li Zunwei, the number of 200,000 was too exaggerated.
"Your Majesty doesn't know, the tribes of Tibet, almost all the people are soldiers, and there are 200,000 of them, and they can still get together by finding a way." Sex empty hurriedly explained.
"That is, there are 200,000 soldiers and horses in Tibet, and that Budaze is just a prince......" After Yan Kang said this, he stopped, waiting for the explanation of sexuality.
"Your Majesty, the Tibetan tribes have been fighting with each other all year round, and there are occasional borrowing of troops. Budaze has 80,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and as long as he is willing to spend money, he can gather 200,000 soldiers and horses. Sex empty was afraid that Yan Kang would not believe it, so he said cautiously.
After Xingkong finished speaking, he added: "Let's take Xining Prefecture, if there are few borrowed soldiers, I'm afraid that Budaze will be suspicious." ”
Wan Yankang thought for a while, nodded in approval: "That's right, sexual emptiness, if this matter is done, I will personally lift this life and death talisman for you." ”
Xingkong knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
After the major event was agreed, Wan Yankang drafted a private letter in the tone of Li Zunwei, stamped the private seal of the Western Xia emperor, and asked Xingkong to take it back to Golmud.
The changes in the palace are rarely known to the outside world. However, the destruction of the Iron Harrier happened on the street, and in order to prevent the news from leaking, Wan Yankang ordered Zhongxing not to allow people to enter and exit for three days.
Xingkong took the letter, galloped day and night, and rushed back to Golmud in only five days.
"Master, why are you so embarrassed?" Seeing the appearance of emptiness and dust, Budaze didn't ask about the big things first, and continued to be concerned.
"Zampu, state affairs are important." After speaking, he asked Budaze to step back and present the letter with both hands.
After reading the letter, Budaze put it aside for a while, but asked slowly and logically about the situation of Xingkong's arrival in Zhongxing.
Sexual emptiness has been prepared for this for a long time, and will prepare the words one by one.
Before the sexual vacancy was sent to Tibet, Budaze did not know that Wan Yankang was going to marry Li Qingchen. At this moment, the sexual emptiness was expressed during the experience, and it was explained that the Empress Dowager of Western Xia was going to take a country as a dowry, and Li Zunwei was ready to launch a palace change, and Budaze couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
"No wonder Emperor Xia is so willing to ......," Budaze muttered to himself.
At first, he read the letter and had a lot of doubts in his mind. For a country, there is nothing more important than the country, and Li Zunwei promised to borrow troops from the land of a state, so Budaze did not doubt it.
Because the Empress Dowager of Western Xia is mediocre and wants to marry a country, then the behavior of His Majesty the Emperor Li Zunwei is very credible.
But borrowing 200,000 troops is also a huge test for Budazar. After he pondered, he said to the emptiness: "Master, I bother you to run again." Let's just say that I can only borrow 150,000 troops, and before I send troops, I need 10,000 taels of gold! ”
Sex was empty, and he immediately took Budaze's handwritten letter, only rested for one night, and hurried to Zhongxing the next day.
As soon as Xingkong left, Budaze began to contact the various ministries to discuss the borrowing of troops
Matters concerned.
Ten days later, Xingkong brought back 10,000 taels of gold and a letter from Li Zunwei, in which he said that he needed at least 180,000 yuan to borrow troops.
Budaze was still a little hesitant, and added a sentence: "Zampu, Emperor Xia said, he can give up Xining first and temporarily stay with our army." ”
What Budaze was worried about before was that after Li Zunwei finished borrowing troops, he turned his face and did not recognize anyone, and he would not hand over Xining Prefecture. As soon as he said this, he immediately dispelled all his concerns.
If you can occupy Xining first, why be afraid!
Since Budaze had already made up his mind, he immediately sent messengers with gold to borrow troops from the tribes. At the same time, he let Xingkong return to ZTE and finalized an agreement with Li Zunwei.
"Emperor Xia has sent an envoy to wait in Xining, and Zampu can send someone else to go, but the poor monk has been running around for days, but he can't walk." ”
Budaze apologized repeatedly, rewarded a lot of gold and beauties, and said that after the matter was completed, he would enshrine Huanxi Zen Buddhism as the state religion.
Sex is empty of gold and beauty, and he returns to his sect to rest happily.
Budaze sent another henchman to Xining.
A few days later, the henchman returned that a written agreement had been reached with the Xixia envoy.
On the eighth day of the seventh month, Budaze ordered 80,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters, together with 100,000 troops borrowed from various tribes, and set out from Golmud and began to march eastward.
When the army arrived at the border of Western Xia, it was greeted by the Xia army and served delicious wine and food.
After arriving in Xining, the general of Zhendong Tuoba Ye handed over the defense with Budaze.
When Budazer entered the city, he saw that the city was completely deserted, and he couldn't help but wonder.
Tuoba Ye explained: "Zampu, Your Majesty only allows you Xining Prefecture, but not the 200,000 people of Xining Prefecture. ”
Budaze suddenly understood, it turned out that Li Zunwei was playing tricks, and only gave land to others. In this way, he felt more credible in his heart.
If he were Li Zunwei, eighty percent would also play such a play.
Because there were no civilians in the city, Budazar was still worried about fraud. He ordered only 30,000 soldiers and horses to enter the city, and searched the city of Xining carefully, and found that there was no burial in the city of firewood and grass and other fire-burning things, nor any ambush, but enough food and grass for the army to use for ten days.
Rewarded for the safety of the city, Budaze was completely relieved and ordered the whole army to enter the city.
After the smooth handover of Tuoba Ye, he also said goodbye and left, saying that he led the army to respond twenty miles outside Xining City, waiting for the order of the saint.
Budaze sat in the Xining Marshal's Mansion and laughed loudly.
He had a wishful thinking in his heart, since he had already occupied Xining Mansion, Li Zunwei would continue to use troops again, and he would have to continue to add money, and he would have to fill back the original population of Xining!
Otherwise, Ben Zampu's 180,000 horses would never have left Xining.
On this night, Budaze dreamed that he would unify Tibet and annex Western Xia......
Before the dream was finished, Budaze was awakened by a rapid knock on the door, and the pro-army came to report that the granary in the city was on fire.
Budaze was shocked, immediately ordered people to intensify the firefighting, and ordered the city defense to be strengthened.
The fire in the granary burned so fast that the men sent by Budazar to extinguish the fire were useless, and by daybreak the granary had already burned out.
Outside Xining City, countless people and horses appeared on all sides, surrounding Xining City.
Frightened and furious, Budazze immediately ordered to summon sex to come.
After a short time, the pro-soldiers reported that the master of sexual emptiness had long since disappeared.
"Sex empty!"
"Li Zunxuan!"
Budaze didn't know that he had fallen for it.
He was furious, took the agreement between the two countries, and tore it to pieces!
