13. On Xu Li's escape

Once the situation is clarified, no one wants to follow Shang Jiezan, you must know that the Dongdai forbidden army is all Zampu's henchmen.

Originally, Shang Jiezan wanted to drag him to the boundary of Liangzhou, and then coerce him to lure him, but at the northern boundary of Shanzhou, Shang Qixin'er and Prince Mu Ru caught up, and Shang Jiezan broke out into a fierce scolding.

Then Shang Qi'er came out with Zampu's will, Shang Jiezan knew that his other son Wu Ren was also killed, so he scolded and said: "My heirs of the Xi family were all killed by the traitors of the Cai Bang family, and I swore in front of the ancestors to keep this remnant body and avenge this revenge, and I will not give up until the sun and the moon are reversed!" Then Shang Jiezan took a group of relatives, under the protection of the servant Soma, abandoned all the army, crossed the Guzang Mountain in a panic, and went to Liangzhou.

When Ma Chongying came to greet him with some cavalry, Shang Jiezan saw him, his eyes were bleeding, he rolled on the ground with a cry, and then his hair was scattered, hugging Ma Chongying who came to support, "You cut off my head and give it to Queen Cai Bang, she has instructed the adulterer to harm my eldest son, and now she has harmed my second son, I have no meaning to live in this world except hatred." ”

Ma Chongying also had tears in his eyes, "When Zampu summoned you in the Red Palace, he said that now two-thirds of the territory of Ganbu Continent is in the hands of Dafan, and he will be side by side with you and me for the rest of his life to obtain the remaining one-third, how could Zampu deliberately beg for the lives of Shasha and Wu Ren?" This must be the treacherous conspiracy of Cai Bang and Shang Qixin'er, if I betray my friends to seek glory today, he will inevitably suffer such a fate in the future......"

Shang Jiezan tore off his arm shirt, bit his arm to death, and swore that he must kill Cai Bang's entire clan, kill Shang Qixin'er, and kill Mangre and other generations to feel at ease.

And Ma Chongying promised him to use the entire Northern Dao team to provide security for Shang Jiezan, and was ready to march into Shanzhou at any time to crusade against the traitors, which was not only to avenge this friend, but also to protect himself.

This fashion knotted praise suddenly grabbed Ma Chongying's shoulder, "Just relying on the north road, the strength is weak, and the host Xu Li in Tunweizhou is my assistant for many years, and he is like a brother, so it is better to let him devote himself to us." ”

"However, Weizhou, where Xu Li is located, is now on the front line of confrontation with the Tang Army......"

Hearing this, Shang Jiezan's eyes were full of madness, "Perhaps, Tang Jun can also contribute to trapping Shang Qi'er!" ”

At the Fuqiang City in Qinzhou, Xing Junya and Liu Haibin, who were guarding in this camp, climbed to the top of the city after receiving the urgent report, and then couldn't believe what they saw:

A large number of Xibo soldiers from Weizhou, two or three miles west of the city, threw down their flags, dismounted and bowed, and the number was two or three thousand.

The cavalry of the Tang Army, who originally came out of the city to meet the battle, thought that this was some kind of trick, and after lining up the formation, they did not move at all.

After watching for a while, Xing Junya said, "Go and ask the lieutenant of the Ximen Protector Army in Shuiluo City." ”

After Ximen Cang heard the news, he hurried to Fuqiang City to deal with it.

Then I learned that it was Xu Li in the middle of the Xifan East Road, and brought 700 cavalry and 2,000 tribesmen to join the Tang Dynasty, saying that Shang Jiezan was framed by a traitor, and his son Shang Wuren was killed innocently.

Ximen Cang followed Gao Yue at the beginning and fought with Xifan Dongdao many times, so he invited Shatuo Khan Zhu Xie Duzhong and Tuyuhun Khan Murong Junchao to let them argue the truth and falsehood.

"Hooray!" When the situation became clear, the cheers of the Tang cavalry shook the heavens and the earth, and along the sides of Fuqiang City, a passage was sandwiched, allowing Xu Li to lead his men into the city and accept their surrender.

At this time, Ximen Cang gathered all the generals together, and then said to them, from the mouth of Xu Li, we know that the internal strife of Xifan has begun to be fierce, so without further ado, let Shatuo and Tuyuhun be the vanguard, the Shence army is behind, and the Xiongqi army is the auxiliary wing, no longer holding the order to consolidate the defense line, but take the initiative to launch an attack on Weizhou, that is, the entire Longxi region, to expand the results achieved before.

In the end, Shang Jiezan and Ma Chongying united and semi-divided Liang, Gan, Su, Gua and other prefectures and counties in Northern Dao, on Xu Li's escape to the Tang army, Shang Jiezan's son Wu Ren was killed by Prince Mu Ru and Shang Qixin'er, Shanzhou Wenshu Temple was burned down, and the various changes in Prince Mu Di's escape spread to the palace of Luo Qicheng, Chi Song Dezan covered his chest, his face was pale, and he sat on the felt seat, "The matter is ...... Why did things turn out the way they did? ”

Why, Ben Yongzhong just wanted Shang Jiezan to take the forbidden army and plunge into the war in South Victoria, how could the whole situation deteriorate to such a point......

Within the Great Fan Empire, the various factions are mixed with their own diametrically opposed religious beliefs - Muni and Padmasambhava are the Madhyamaka sects of Samye Monastery, Shang Jiezan, Ma Chongying and Mou Di are Helong Zen sects, and Shang Qixin'er, Mou Ru and the Cai Bang family are trying to revive the primitive Bon religion.

Now that the factions are divided, there is endless fire and merger below.

But now nearly 100,000 Tang troops are in Longyou, and they are eyeing the city and conquering the city in the Weisong area!

Tri Song Detsen almost collapsed, and he fell on the mat in agony, unable to figure out why he had come to this point.

And at this moment, all kinds of Western Tibetan ministers instigated by the prince and marquis of Cai Bang are standing in the court, and they have repeatedly persuaded Chisong Dezan: Don't hesitate, although Shang Qixin'er and Mu Ru killed Shang Wuren, won't they also recapture the 20,000 elite forbidden army for Zampu?

Now as long as Zampu makes up your mind as soon as possible, put this group of forbidden troops on the battlefield of Pengpo Mountain, and defeat Gao Yue and Wei Gao, as long as you can achieve a military victory, Zampu's great prestige will still exist, then integrate the domestic order again, and let Xifan regain its strength.

Zan Pu quickly became a gambler, and what he thought to himself was, "Once Gao Yue and Wei Gao are defeated, then Ben Yongzhong will not be Shang Jiezan and Ma Chongying next, but the entire Cai Bang family, Ben Yongzhong is not a fool, and he will not be willing to be at the mercy of his wife's family." ”

Under the guidance of this mentality, Trisong Detsen issued an order: 20,000 Dongdai forbidden troops and 10,000 soldiers and horses of the east road, regardless of everything, first arrived at Qinghai Road (after Zampu heard that Tang soldiers appeared in the Hechuan area of Diezhou, he did not let the army take the Diezhou-Songzhou route, but took Qinghai, and then went out of the Pengpo Pass), and the 15,000 Qinghai army of the Fear Wave joined the division, Zampu sent the remaining family base with a total of 10,000 forbidden troops, and then mobilized 100,000 "Gui" and "Yong" in the entire plateau, as well as miscellaneous Qianghu in various border areas, and gathered 160,000 soldiers and horses. Rush to the Pingrong City Road at the foot of Pengpo Mountain, and fight a decisive battle with Gao Yue and Wei Gao's 70,000 Tang troops!

This time, it was really the final battle of Trisong Detsen who poured all the strength of the whole country into the final battle.

If he wins, the authority of the Western Tibetan Empire and Zampu will rise to the middle heaven like the rising sun again.

And if it loses, the fortunes of the whole country will fall to the bottom, and the situation below Zamp himself knows - falling apart and losing his prestige.

"Could it be that the battle between Dafan and Tang that lasted for one hundred and fifty years was really ended in such a humiliating way in the hands of Ben Yongzhong? No, Ben Yongzhong is not reconciled, and he will not accept such a result when he dies! ”
