"Two months, two months." Shang Jiezan thought in his heart, according to common sense, begging to hide a strong city like Taideng City, and relying on the granary that has been stored for many years, not to mention two months, even if it is two years, what is the difficulty?

But now is different from the past, since Gao Yue appeared, many things have changed, and it is the kind of great change that is out of his cognitive scope.

However, after two months, Begging and hiding can still hold on!

So Shang Jiezan kowtowed, grateful for Zampu's kindness to the Na Xi family, and then he asked himself to personally take command and lead the Dongdai forbidden army to save Tai Dengcheng.

Likes did not give a clear answer to this.

After Shang Jiezan left, Queen Cai Bang came out after the palace curtain and said to Zampu: "Heavenly God Zampu, in the past, when you were in Huating, you had given Shang Jiezan Dongdai forbidden soldiers, but you went to nearly 10,000 people, and no more than 2,000 came back alive. ”

Zamp agrees.

Then the queen recommended and said: "The most suitable person is none other than your third son, Mu Ru, who has reached adulthood and is heroic!" ”

Tri Song Detsen had four sons, the eldest son Mou Chi Songbo died young, the second son Muni followed Padmasambhava, the fourth son Mou Di followed Mahayana, and only the third son Mou Ru entered the military camp to study martial arts and mounted archery.

"Magadonge (the queen's name), Ben Yongzhong knows that you have a grudge against the Na Shu family, if you let Mu Ru go to rescue Tai Dengcheng, I am afraid that the ministers will have some discussions, if the rescue is not effective, it will affect the relationship between the Zampu and Sanshang Si Lun families."

"I advocate letting Mu Ru go, it is precisely for the sake of your power, the army, especially the forbidden soldiers in the headquarters, shouldn't you let your own son be in charge?"

Zampu was silent.

At this time, several court attendants carried wooden tablets with silver falcons inserted in them, and handed them into Zampu's hands through the curtains.

"What, in Hexi, Longyou's Shan, Gansu, Su, Liang, Qin, Wei, Cheng and other prefectures and counties, the Tang people have rioted one after another?" Seeing this news, Zampu's eyes darkened, and he almost didn't hold it.

Obviously they are just a group of subjugated weak slaves, and a group of Han people named "Wen Mo" who can't even compare with mediocrity will actually start a riot......

In fact, the situation in the Helong area at this time was much more serious than Zampu could imagine:

Since Duan Zuo and thousands of Han people who were unwilling to go to Tuntian in Ganzhou, killed the escorted Xifan officers, and climbed Yanzhi Mountain to raise the flag, they repeatedly defeated the small Xifan troops who came to conquer and suppress, and the team became more famous, and at the same time, Duan Zuo also sent people down the mountain to contact the enslaved Tang people in Shan, Gan, and Liang, "I exchange livestock, medicinal materials, and grain for the hemp silk in your hands, how so?" ”

As a result, the Tang people asked: "On Yanzhi Mountain, do you want to serve the palace fort?" Do you want to pay beef leg tax? Do you want to wear Tibetan clothes and travel the calendar? Do you want to obey the law? ”

"No need at all, everyone on Yanzhi Mountain has formed a village to protect each other, farms for self-food, and helps each other, and everyone has changed back to the clothes and calendars of the Han people."

"So what else is exchanged? Let's all go to Yanzhi Mountain! ”

In the end, the storm of the uprising at the end of Wen quickly swept the land of Helong, and those who were close to it did everything possible to throw down the fields and cottages, and fled to Yanzhi Mountain to enter the village; Those who were far away also rose up one after another, killing the officials or soldiers who imprisoned them, entering other high mountains, and establishing "Shanshui Village".

The 500,000 Han people in Helong fled a quarter in a short period of time, and dozens of mountain and water villages were built, from Yanzhi Mountain to Qishan Mountain, abounding, and the left-behind teams in the east and north provinces of Xifan were exhausted, tired of trying to suppress, but made the situation more and more erosive.

The Tuntian policy failed, and Ma Chongying, who besieged Shazhou, soon had difficulties in supplying military rations.

Looking at Dunhuang City, which was still unyielding, but the city wall was broken and more than half of the soldiers were killed or wounded, Ma Chongying became murderous: "Then attack the city with all your might, and after appropriating Dunhuang, the whole army will be in a three-day column." ”

In addition to being angered by the heroic resistance of the Tang army and people in Dunhuang, the lack of military food was also an important reason why Ma Chongying decided to launch a general offensive.

At this moment, Mu Di, Niang. After a long journey, Dingai Zeng, and the Mahayana monk Mahayana came to the camp.

Ma Chongying was shocked, did not dare to slack off, and came to greet Prince Mu Di.

"There are many Buddhist temples in Dunhuang City, Shazhou, and there are countless priceless scriptures, I can't bear to see them destroyed in the war, so I have come to ask for a big opinion, and strive to let Dunhuang open the city and surrender on its own, and save the lives of its people and soldiers." Mu Di stood in the tent and explained his intention to Ma Chongying.

Ma Chongying was extremely unhappy in his heart, "I attack Dunhuang, and I can go down every day." The soldiers fought hard for many days, and the casualties were also heavy, and if the city was not plundered, the army feared that the hearts of the army would be in turmoil. ”

Yuan Tongzhi stepped forward at this time and made a few suggestions to Mu Di.

Mu Di said: "Dunhuang City is located in the quicksand, between the west of the river, the previous business and travel was busy, is a rich city, such as the big talk you can not kill, do not loot, do not set fire, you can agree with the people in the city, each household out four horses for the 'begging silk', five buckets of corn and a certain amount of salt, sesame oil, wine for the 'whole life grain', each Buddhist temple is fifty taels of silver, as a ransom to protect the portal, used to support the army, what is it?" ”

Ma Chongying, who said this, hesitated.

At this moment, the Mahayana monk Mahayana, who was most respected by Ma Chongying, also persuaded Ma Chongying: "If you can save Dunhuang City from war, it will definitely be a happy event, and it will definitely be a great deal of your good karma!" ”

Soon, in the ruined enemy platform in Dunhuang, some of the defenders behind the city walls still held the battle flag of the "Doulu Army" (the military number of the army stationed in Dunhuang in Shazhou in the Tang Dynasty was Doulu), holding bows and crossbows or Mo knives, and slowly stood up.

Under the city, a column of Xifan cavalry came slowly with a white flag, shouting in Chinese not to release arrows, and to say something to you Taishou.

Yan Chao was dressed in armor and quickly stood on the stage.

The Xifan cavalry announced that "if the city surrenders, we will not kill or plunder, but we need people and Buddhist temples to pay money, silk, rice and grain".

"How do I know that if you open the gates and surrender, you will keep your promise?" Yan Chao was full of disbelief.

For convenience, this is due to the fact that Ma Chongying, the Great Scholar of the Northern Dao, accepted the admonition of the great monk of Shanzhou, so you don't have to worry.

Yan Chao said: I also invited a senior monk in the big temple in Dunhuang City to go out of the city to discuss the conditions with you, and after the negotiation is completed, the city can naturally be opened.

After that, the Yan Dynasty went to find the monks to negotiate, but secretly ordered the people and soldiers of the whole city to seize the time to demolish their own houses, repair the damaged city walls and watchtowers, and said that the salt pond in the east of the city was also occupied by the Western Tibet, so they used the cloth and copper coins in the military palace to buy the salt stored in the rich families and temples in the city at a high price, and distributed it equally to everyone for a long-term plan.

Therefore, Yan Chao is actually determined to never surrender!

"The poor monk Dharma Circle, the monk of the Lotus Temple of Ben Qiuci, was previously stationed in the Dunhuang Temple, to represent Yan Kaifu, and to discuss the opening of the city with the generals and monks of Xifan." In front of Ma Chongying's camp, a monk from Dunhuang City introduced himself to Ma Chongying, Mu Di, and Mahayana.

"Dharma Realm...... Could it be that the Xuanzong Dynasty entered the Che Feng Dynasty of Gandhara? Yuan Tongzhi, the walker next to him, was secretly surprised.
