Chapter 170: The Situation in Tibet
The city of Logos, in the prince's house.
The screams kept rang out, and that was the direction of the dungeon.
Prince Songganba's face was hideous, and he couldn't believe the death of the great warrior of Gilha, and the whip soaked in salt water slammed into the hunter Xu Jiang's body.
On the chain-wrapped wall, there was another dying man with whiplashes, who was the eagle with considerable eyesight.
"Why did the mission fail! You also lost hundreds of Tibetan warriors, is it because you still have the blood of the Han people in your bones! ”
Song Ganba raised the whip and lashed it fiercely, his eyes revealing tyrannical madness and aggressive obsession.
Xu Jiang would tremble and cry out in pain every time he was whipped, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and the green tendons on his neck squirmed wildly because of the pain.
"His Royal Highness the Prince spares his life, His Royal Highness the Prince spares his life, if Xu Jiang has no other heart, he will not come back!"
Song Ganba didn't care about this at all, rolled up his plush sleeves, raised his whip and continued to thrash until Xu Jiang lost consciousness.
Walked out of the dungeon, came to the garden in the prince's mansion that simulated the imperial buildings of the Tang Dynasty, picked up the warm liquor and took a sip, sighed a few times and coughed continuously, glared angrily at the maid Tang prostitute who served him, and after a careful taste in his mouth, Song Ganba picked up the wine cup and took a sip, and his whole face showed an expression of enjoyment.
"What kind of wine is this? Why is it different from the usual? ”
Faced with questioning, the maid immediately knelt down and answered tremblingly.
Songganba's anger dissipated, and the two men who were locked up in the dungeon were released, and then asked the doctor to bandage their wounds and listen to their reports.
"Your Royal Highness! After I arrived in Chang'an, I immediately arranged matters, preparing to assassinate the medical saint in Chang'an City and blame the Tang Dynasty, but I didn't want to be surrounded and suppressed by the Longwu Army, saying that someone in the court united with us to rebel! ”
Xu Jiang's hands trembled, his bloodshot eyes widened, and he twisted his face and laughed sincerely.
"Yes, yes, later, his subordinates and Xu Jiang responded to the Gilha warriors before they escaped, otherwise there would be no way to make a second attack, but the second attack is too strange, that princess who protects the country, knows martial arts, and has strange weapons."
Eagle Changmu said that he couldn't help but feel a stirring spirit here, at that time he was in the queue to release dark arrows, and it should have been the safest place, but his ears were shattered by an inexplicable series of explosions, and many dark crossbowmen screamed and lost their lives directly.
"It's like thunder, boom, boom, and the great warrior of Gilha will be almost dead after being bombarded twice! We wanted to go up to the rescue, but we were scattered by the countless Tang troops who rushed out of the princess's mansion. ”
Song Ganba looked at the two of them with disgust, thinking that handing over to the eagle Changmu, who is good at observation and planning, and Xu Jiang, a hunter who is familiar with the situation in Datang, will get twice the result with half the effort, but the result is that he didn't touch the chicken and folded the rice, exhaled a few times dissatisfiedly, and took another sip of strong wine.
"Princess Protector, Princess Protector! When Prince Ben breaks through Chang'an one day, he will definitely be captured and raised as a slave! For the servants to play with! ”
Song's angry words frightened the Han maid standing next to her, so she didn't dare to breathe, so she could only stand aside in fear and didn't dare to disturb.
"But where did you get it? Still can't get it? ”
Xu Jiang glanced at the eagle long-eyed who was a little frightened, and it seemed that he couldn't count on it, so he could only go into battle by himself, "This was bought from the Princess Protector Restaurant, I heard that a group of merchants are currently coming to Luo Qi City, they are the people of the Princess Protector's Mansion!" ”
"Oh? That is, the group of merchants has this kind of wine in it? Find and kill all the people for Prince Ben and snatch them back! ”
After listening to Xu Jiang's answer, Song Ganba immediately gave an order, and several secret guards around him immediately responded to the call.
Cold sweat broke out on Xu Jiang's forehead, and he smiled stiffly, "Genus... Subordinate, subordinate wants to bear the guilt! I hope His Royal Highness the Prince will grant permission! ”
"How do I plead guilty? You said! ”
Song Ganba touched the short knife at his waist, pulled it out, and pretended to shave his fingernails.
"Subordinate, subordinate knows that there are utensils for making this wine in the princess's mansion, and I hope that my subordinates will be allowed to bring it out and present it to His Royal Highness, and he will not disappoint His Royal Highness the Prince!"
The eagle long-eyed came to his senses from his sluggishness, and when he heard Xu Jiang's words, he hurriedly bowed to the ground and begged, hoping to atone for his sins.
Song Ganba looked at the two of them for a long time, then nodded in agreement.
At the same time, the defeat of the Great Food Kingdom spread to Tibet, and the Yihe faction, led by Gan Maragong, requested a cessation of troops in several court meetings, and hoped to negotiate a truce with the Tang general Gao Xianzhi.
Although Song Ganba participated in the court meeting, he just watched it like his father, but in fact, the main battle faction with him as the promoter has gradually fallen into disadvantage.
In fact, they didn't know that Gao Xianzhi was driving straight into the territory of Dashi at this time, plundering a small country, capturing all its kings and princes, and preparing to escort Chang'an as slaves to invite merit to the sage.
More than 100,000 Arab soldiers traveled long distances to Da Shi and fought with the Tang army in Hengluo Bay, and this battle lasted for half a year.
And Tubo also got the corresponding information, because the attack of the black-clothed food stopped the wind of peace that was in full swing. Every half month, eagles will fly in the sky, spreading the latest news to the plateau of Tibet.
In the end, the Tang army was defeated, and the army of the black-clothed Great Food won a disastrous victory at Hengluo Bay, and the black-clothed Great Food, who was greatly injured, only withdrew from the scope of the Great Food Country, joined up with another Eastern Expeditionary Army, and continued to march towards the small countries around the Western Regions.
One of the countries near the Western Regions was called Luoxi, a small group of people and local people who had originally dispersed from the Uighur tribes.
The country survives on an oasis in the desert, with only one main city, scattered around the castle for defensive purposes.
One of them, a princess named Abith, will also unfold her wandering story.
Upon hearing the news of the departure of the Black-clothed Great Food Army, the Yihe faction fell silent again, and Prince Songganba manipulated his faction to begin to make suggestions to his father, King Zampu, that he could take advantage of Gao Xianzhi's defeat to take back Gaoshi Fort, a fortress near the Western Regions.
Then he recuperated and waited for the opportunity to send troops to devour the territory of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions and cut off the Silk Road.
The elderly Tubo Zampu Pengde Wangya is already in his last years, and he only looks at the faces of the ministers for the affairs of the court.
Even so, he also knew that the Yihe faction was all old ministers and close clans, and among them there were five sons who were entrusted with the throne, and the main battle faction was promoted by the eldest son.
Now that he is no longer good, it is only a matter of time before he gives way to Songganba, as long as the eldest son has ambitions, and the annexation of the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop is the ambition pursued by generations of ancestors of Tubo, only in this way can Tubo be as strong and prosperous as ever.
So, everything went according to Songganba's plan.
Of course, including the theft of the princess's mansion wine shop a few years after Wu Yueya left Chang'an.
