9. Invest in Tang Yi with the same heart
"Are these two little kings reliable?" Zamp hesitated.
Because every time he went out before, he was fought by the two servant armies of the Northern Daoist Governor Ma Chongying and Tuyuhun.
In the face of Zampu's inquiry, Ma Chongying directly said that it was unreliable, and in the past two years, Dafan has continued to send secret letters to oppose the party items in the Tang family, but on the other hand, the Tang family is also closely wooing the Shatuo and Tuyuhun tribes who are stationed in the border of Huizhou.
If these two are allowed to go out alone, they are likely to defect to the Tang family.
"How about a big talker, then?"
Ma Chongying said that it was not ideal, before I had a huge advantage over the Tang army, so they did not dare to have different intentions, but now it is different from the past, if they defect in the key battle, it will be too dangerous, and please think twice.
"Just in case, it's better to transfer Shatuo and Tuyuhun from Huizhou, and all the clans move to the border of Ganzhou, and then, I, Dafan, will take them as the vanguard, concentrate the elite troops, and go back to attack the Tang family's isolated Anbei Court first." This fashion knot likes to express their opinions.
This trick of "encircling Wei to save Zhao" is quite ruthless, no matter how much the Tang family's national strength is restored to its original level, but the four towns of Anxi and Beiting have been lonely in the cracks of Xifan, Huifu, Gelulu and other forces, and its many years of resistance to my Dafan, the military strength has long been crippled, you might as well betray the alliance, while the Tang family is making every effort to suppress the rebellion of the Bai Yushan Party, my Dafan also concentrates military strength to the west to uproot this henchman, so that I can't save the party, he can't save the Anxi court, and he can also do five or five with Tang on the chessboard of the current game, Absolutely no loss.
What's more, the four towns of Anxi are populated and trade-oriented, and as long as I occupy this place, I can trade with the middle of the river, and the income is extremely rich.
Just when Zanpu was moved, Shang Qixin'er strongly opposed, he said that at this time, we should make every effort to stick to Longyou, Hexi, and pacify Yunnan, although the four towns of Anxi of the Tang family are declining, but the city defense, the people, and the army are still sound, there are Hui reinforcements outside, and there are assistance from Khotan and Qiuzi inside, Rao is my Dafan warrior brave, and it is difficult to completely capture it in a hurry, and if the Tang family is wiped out after the party, the victory situation will cross the Longshan Mountain to the west and attack, Dafan will be overstretched, and then it will be us who will be attacked from both sides!
"If you don't advance in the east, you won't attack in the west, day after day, the country's situation will rise and fall, and it will be even more impossible to turn around at that time." Shang Jiezan was determined to attack Anxi.
He knew very well that the system of Xifan could only expand and expand, and once it stopped, the internal contradictions would intensify indefinitely, not to mention that recently Shang Jiezan felt that the plateau was getting colder and colder every year, and the harvest of crops was also weakening, and the resentment of those mediocre (serfs) seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.
But Shang Qi'er is still-for-tat, he said that if Hexi and Longshan are lost, the Tang family can directly use them as a springboard to block the Yellow River meanders and encroach on Qinghai Road.
"Don't make any more noise!" Zampu was upset, and finally he thought about it, out of the class position and thinking of the highest level slave owner in the entire Western Tibetan Empire, he still agreed with Shang Jiezan's idea, "Send a bird envoy to let the five major regions of Yudi Jusang (Qinghai Province), North Road, Dongdao, Sabi (Pamir Military Town), and Bolu carry out material collection, and make Baifu Turks and Qarluq as allies, and let Shatuo and Tuyuhun Xiaowang return from Huizhou, Shang Qixin'er sent 5,000 soldiers to take over the defense, and I, Dafan, will send troops in Qiuyue to besiege the Western Regions." ”
At this time, Shang Jiezan, who had received the approval of Zampu, was full of spirits, so he pointed to the map and said: "Between my Dafan North Road and the Western Regions of the Tang Family, only Shazhou (now Dunhuang) is not left, first concentrate the army to capture Shazhou, and then the whole army swept Yizhou and Tingzhou, completely purging the remnants of the Tang army in the place, and tearing the Beiting and Anxi on the other side. Then first break the north court, completely drive out the Hui forces, and then go south, and one by one will uproot the four towns of Khotan, Shule, Yanqi, and Qiuzi! ”
Zampu's golden tooth tent is located next to the newly completed Shengrong Temple in Shanzhou, the temple was built by the Xu She people, at this time the monks of the temple were mobilized, as a clerical work, Yuan Tong straight traveler is also in the monk's room, because he knows the text, get the trust of the Tibetan nobles, so several local Fan soldiers officers hurriedly walked in, said that they would soon prepare war horses, weapons and flags to set off, and asked Yuan Tongzhi to write wooden tablets for them, as a family letter to send to the manor to know to his wife and children.
According to their dictation, Yuan Tongzhi dipped ink on the wooden tablet and wrote in Tibetan script: "Father Zampu is now in the palace of the military palace in Yamotang (Shanzhou), and ordered all the ten thousand households to gather materials ......."
At this time, Yuan Tongzhi's heart sank, and he asked these people in the Tibetan language, where are you going, and I will inform your family members in the letter.
"West, Shazhou." And so it was.
At dusk, more than a dozen birds galloped out of the gate of the palace fort, raising a burst of dust on the street leading to the east side......
A few days later, Murong Junchao and Zhu Xie Chixin from the Huizhou territory received an urgent letter from the Flying Bird Envoy, asking them to immediately mobilize the soldiers and horses of their entire clan and rush to Ganzhou, which was far away to the west.
"Why is that?" The two little kings were all surprised.
Dabu Zajie, the local supervisor of the two of them, said that after Ganzhou and other Dafan troops assembled, they would besiege Shazhou, which the Tang family was still holding, and when Shazhou was captured, your tribe would migrate to the rich Ganzhou.
Murong Junchao cautiously asked: "Didn't the alliance be met before, Tang Fan truce, and paddled Luochuan as an idle field, why did you turn your face again?" ”
Dabu Zajie said impatiently, Zampu has just canonized the leader of the party, Tuoba Zhaohui, as "Zampu Zhong" (Zampu's little brother) and "King of the Northern Sun", but the Tang family has violated Zampu Zhong, so I have ample reasons to start a war against the Tang family's Anxi Court, understand no!
Shazhou is the western terminal of the Tang River, the only remaining stronghold, so it is necessary to give priority to its capture.
"Zenpu's Heavenly Father's will, dare I disobey it?" Murong Junchao and Zhu Xie agreed in unison.
But after returning to the camp, Zhu Xie sighed in his heart and called his son Zhiyi.
At the same time, Murong Junchao also called the confidants of the clan leaders to discuss this matter.
"Father can no longer hesitate, Xifan drove me like a dog and horse, originally we settled in Beiting for a month, and then was forced to move to Liangzhou by Xifan, before to guard against the Tang family, and stayed here in Huizhou, and now he drove us to Ganzhou, where there is a war, force us to go, do not sympathize with me at all, it is better to take advantage of the handover opportunity, kill Dabu Zajie, and take the head to vote for Tang!" Zhiyi is a hot person.
And on the other side, Murong Junchao's henchmen suggested the same, "Qinghai Lake was originally my Tuyuhun country, it was Xifan who invaded and occupied this place, so that I and others became slaves of the country, before the Tang family in order to support our restoration of the country, only to fight with Xifan many times, now under the fence of Xifan, the safety and survival are unknown, even a small copper body festival can command the king, it is better to kill Dabu Zajie and take the head to the Tang Dynasty." ”
"If Zhu Xie is reluctant to vote for Tang, how about it?" Murong Junchao asked.
"If Murong Junchao is unwilling to join Tang with me, what about it?" The tent over there, Zhu Xie Chixin also asked.
"Then kill Murong Junchao."
"Then kill Zhu Xie Chixin together."
