Qamdo, located in the throat of Tubo and Yizhou, Qinghai and Yunnan, is also the important place of the ancient tea horse road, is an authentic trade artery, since it fell into the hands of the serf rebel army, it made Yizhou Zhu Youzhen, Tubo Delhi Chinan choked in the throat, the transaction between the two sides, had to bypass the area of Qamdo, for both sides, extremely inconvenient.

Taking Qamdo will ensure that the exchanges between the two sides will no longer be stifled, which is a win-win good thing for both sides. Now Tubo needs Yizhou to import a large number of daily necessities to them, from tea, pots and pans to needles and threads, Tubo needs them, and Yizhou also needs to get weapons, war horses, medicinal materials and other materials from Tubo.

And the serf rebel army entrenched in Qamdo and severed the connection between them alive, which is naturally unpleasant.

Compared with Abdullah in Yushu, Delhi Chinan chose his main target in Qamdo.

Mangba, the son of Tocharo, became the commander of the attack on Chamdo. Xenobud, on the other hand, led another attack on Yushu. Fighting Chang is true, and fighting Yushu is a disguise, Delhi Chinan hopes that Li Cunzhong's troops in Qinghai can send troops to help when Yushu is attacked, and at that time, he can lead the main force to annihilate the Tang army that will come to the aid in one fell swoop.

Sun Tonglin's warning reminded Delhi China of the Battle of Hedong many years ago, that time, they were deeply lured into the Hedong region by Li Ze, and finally encountered the biggest fiasco since the founding of Tubo, and it was this fiasco that led to a great change in the political situation in Tibet.

When Tocharo resolutely surrendered all the power in his hands to Delhi China South before he died, Delhi China South also completed the reunification of Tibet, and he and Li Ze also changed from close comrades-in-arms to inseparable enemies.

Now Li Ze's goal is to completely take Tubo and turn the territory of Tubo into a province of the Tang Dynasty, while Delhi Chinan can only try to preserve the continuation of the Tubo state under the condition of poor strength.

Taking the initiative to attack Li Cunzhong, Delhi Chinan was suspicious, just as Sun Tonglin said, hoping that Li Ze would repeat his old trick again, so he would use his own way to treat his own people, and lure Li Cunzhong's troops deep into the territory of Tibet.

If Li Cunzhong really dares to come with a large army, then the long road will become his biggest enemy, and the vast area gives Delhi Chi Nan and his strategic space, if Li Cunzhong can completely defeat Li Cunzhong, then at least for a few years, the Tang people will no longer be able to launch a large-scale attack on Tubo.

One thing is very clear, other Tang troops could not quickly adapt to the climate of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau like Li Cunzhong's troops.

And Li Cunzhong's tens of thousands of troops have been preparing for several years to attack Tibet. As long as they can be killed, they will usher in a long period of peaceful development in Tibet.

The dispatch of Mangba was also a form of overture to the Tocharian family in Delhi Chinan.

After all, it was far less difficult to fight a group of serf rebels than to fight the Tang army, and handing over the place of Qamdo to Mangeba was tantamount to handing over the benefits of future commercial dealings with Yizhou, Yunnan and other places to Mangeba, which was a reward for Delhi Chinan for handing over power to Tocharian before his death.

It was only when he sat in this position that Delhi Chinan truly understood Tocharo's mood at that time. I also understood why Tocharian would give him power in the end.

Because Tocharian really can't find anyone stronger than himself in his camp.

And a divided Tibet will inevitably become the food in the mouths of the Tang people.

Only a unified Tibet could resist the invasion of the Tang people.

Therefore, Delhi Chinan, resisting the extravagant hope of countless nobles in his family who wanted to lead the troops to attack Qamdo, handed over this piece of fat to Mangba.

Now, he also needs a unified and united Tibet.

Qamdo, Makang Gang, Makang Temple.

Countless white flags have become the main color, rows of lamas chanting in unison, and the distant sound of Zen chanting fluttering with the cold wind, here, a grand funeral is being held.

In the middle of the mourning hall, there is a coffin. However, inside the coffin, there was no body of the deceased, only a pair of clothes.

On the spirit card placed on the offering table between the coffins, there was a line of blood-red words, so that all the people who came to pay tribute were solemn in their hearts and trembled, because this spirit card was written in blood.

This is Xue Jun's spiritual position.

After Delhi issued the order to attack Qamdo, Xue Jun and more than a dozen members of the Xue clan who were still in Lhasa were all sentenced to five horses.

Their blood was smeared on the mangba's banner.

In front of the coffin, on the left and right sides, kneeling four people wearing great filial piety all over their bodies.

They are Xue Jun's eldest son Xue Renzhong, second son Xue Renyong, and fallen sons Xue Renyi and Xue Renxiao. Behind them, there were two rows of people kneeling, and these people were also surnamed Xue.

After Xue Jun failed in the confrontation with Li Ze in Hedong, the Xue family, in order to fight for their lives and make meritorious contributions, took the initiative to invite Sakura to Tubo.

Based on Xue Jun's experience, at that time, he clearly knew from Li Ze's actions that one day, Li Ze would inevitably make a move against Tubo, and this deadline depended on when Li Ze could truly expand his power and become the most powerful person in the Central Plains.

Therefore, after arriving in Tubo, all the people of the Xue clan were dismissed by him and distributed throughout Tubo, and Qamdo was his key place to operate. Almost all of the capable people of the Xue clan arrived at this place, either openly or incognito.

The Qamdo area, with hundreds of thousands of square kilometers coming and going, is enough for them to hide and for them to operate.

Someone, money, and support from Datang, the Xue clan will soon quietly become big here.

Because of the years-long war between Tocharo and Delhi Chinan, the people in Tibet were in a hot and hot situation, and finally after the serf uprising broke out under the unbearable situation, the Xue family quickly seized this opportunity. They were integrated into the serf army.

These people were able to get food, they could get weapons, and soon gathered thousands of serfs, and in the battle with the slave owners, the Xue clan gave full play to their innate advantages, quietly annexed one small serf rebel army after another, and finally, they became the most powerful army in Qamdo, almost completely controlling the Qamdo region.

As outsiders, they still need the support of the locals, even if they have strong force, so the nominal ruler of this army is a Tibetan who calls himself Gesar.

For the people of Qamdo, Gesar is definitely a surname that can make people shock, and people will prostrate on the ground to worship when they hear it. The descendants of Gesar in history are nowhere to be found, and for such a sudden appearance of Gesar, many people will naturally be suspicious, but when this person has the endorsement of the Red Sect Grand Lama Lomba, the people of Qamdo no longer have any doubts.

With this banner, the few remaining serf rebel armies in Qamdo also gathered under Gesar's banner.

For the people of the Xue clan, the so-called Gesar is just a tool man in their hands. Their real collaborator was the Grand Lama of the Red Sect, Lomba. For the sake of the grand cause of the Red Sect, Lomba is now considered to be out of the way. led thousands of red-clothed lamas to Qamdo. Today's Qamdo area has become the stronghold of the Red Sect.

Xue Jun died.

He was declared by Lomba to be the apologetic king of the Red Cult and dedicated his body to the great cause of the Red Cult.

I'm afraid Xue Jun himself couldn't have imagined that after his death, thousands of people would come to worship him. Naturally, these people could not enter the mourning hall inside the Macha Monastery, but this did not prevent the believers from worshipping the Protector King who had sacrificed his body for their liberation and was killed by their enemy, the demon from hell, outside the Macha Monastery.

Tang Degong stood in front of Xue Jun's spiritual seat, put on three pillars of incense, landed on his knees, and bowed his head three times.

If it was before, Tang Degong would naturally disdain to salute Xue Jun. But now, these three heads, he is knocking strongly. In any case, Xue Jun's final choice is undoubtedly heroic.

He had a chance to go.

But he didn't go.

He stood until the last moment.

In the end, he also used his blood to arouse the determination of countless Qamdo people to fight to the death.

Whether he is for his family, for the Xue clan people who are still in the Tang Dynasty, or for the entire grand strategy of the Tang Dynasty, he will definitely leave his own lines in the history books.

Even if it is a mention, in the opinion of Tang Degong, who was born in the Ministry of Rites, Xue Jun is also worth his death.

In the Huanghuang history books, the person who can leave a name on it, at that time, was not a famous person in the world.

And like him, Tang Degong, after his death, it was just a handful of loess, a pile of dry bones, countless years later, when the tomb collapsed, his name disappeared in this world.

Looking at the Xue family who were sobbing and saluting, Tang Degong walked over and helped Xue Renzhong and the others.

"Datang will not forget your father. I have folded it up for your father, please seal it! ”

"Thank you Tang Shilang!" Xue Renzhong cried.

"By the way, the morale that your father used his death to stir up cannot be wasted, Qamdo, we must not lose it." Tang Degong comforted.
