"Manjushri, with two arms on one side, with a white and solemn complexion, holding a sword of wisdom and riding a lion, will enter the city of Ras, where the god Zangpu lives in the future." Mahayana prophesied to Trisong Detsen with great certainty.

At this time, Zampu was also suddenly immersed in the happiness of being able to welcome the Bodhisattva.

Padmasambhava immediately clasped his palms, sighed, and exhorted Zangpu, "O god, you see the clear sky on the plateau, as clear as your nature in the past. And virtue is like the white clouds in the sky, and such filthy deeds as the robbery are like the dark clouds in the sky, and the clouds must not be allowed to surpass the white clouds, otherwise they will bring down thunder and lightning and floods. ”

Zampu has always been full of reverence for Padmasambhava, and at this time he was also a little hesitant, that is, he replied, "When I heard Master say this, I hesitated.

In the dome of the discussion, the hawks of Western Tibet, Shang Jiezan, Ma Chongying and other great commentators were uncertain, so they set their eyes on the Mahayana monk Mahayana.

Shang Jiezan has always believed in Buddhism, and Ma Chongying was the first to oppose Buddhism, and later began to believe in Buddhism under the persuasion of Zampu. Interestingly, Shang Jiezan most of the time festival town Shanzhou, and Ma Chongying Festival town Hexi, the local Buddhist temple to the Han monk's Zen Buddhism, because of the convenience of practice, gradually let Shang Jiezan, Ma Chongying began to the plateau of the Tianzhu Buddhist system of cumbersome scriptures began to get bored, under the influence of the two, a considerable part of the Western Tibetan nobles began to practice Zen Buddhism - and this Mahayana, it was Shang Jiezan, Ma Chongying wrote a letter to recommend Zampu.

Therefore, in fact, at this time, the Buddhist power of Western Tibet has secretly diverged: in the plateau area of Western Tibet, the Buddhist monasteries from Tianzhu and Nibora (Nepal) occupy the mainstream, and the stronghold is Samye Monastery; The newly occupied areas of Hexi and Longyou occupy the mainstream with Han Zen Buddhist temples. The two sides each have the support of a faction of Western Tibetan nobles, and the Bon religion that still has embers has begun to fight openly and secretly.

Sure enough, Mahayana immediately retorted to Padmasambhava and said, "Master is false, whether it is a white cloud or a dark cloud, it is a cloud that obscures the sky, and the corresponding good or bad karma is not liberated from samsara, and it is also an obstacle to Buddhahood. In order to save the end of the law, how can you stick to the white clouds and dark clouds! ”

As soon as these words came out, Padmasambhava, who had great powers, was speechless.

At this moment, Shang Jiezan and Ma Chongying took over, among which Shang Jiezan said to Zampu: "It is absolutely impossible to return the state to the Tang people, once the Tang people occupy Huizhou, there will be a springboard to go deep into Hexi, so the real peace of Tang and Tibet does not exist at all." Only by taking advantage of this opportunity to rob the alliance, it is a way once and for all, I have always guarded the east, and I know that the generals on whom the Tang family relies are nothing more than Ma Sui, Li Sheng, Hun Xuan, Duan Xiushi four people, now Li Sheng has lost his military power, Duan Xiushi has returned to Beijing in leisure, and the servant shoots Ma Sui and Hun Yang in the service have come to participate in the Xiji Alliance, I Dafan can ambush 30,000 elite soldiers in the mountains, and wait until the alliance covers the attack in the middle of the hour, capture Ma Sui and Hun Xuan, and the Tang family will completely collapse! ”

Trisong Dezan replied, "Ma Sui and Hun Yang are respected warriors of the Tang family, and they must not be harmed. ”

Shang Jiezan laughed, "This theory will never kill these two people, but use these two as bargaining chips to force the Tang family to give up his claim for Huizhou." In addition, after letting these two go back, the emperor of the Tang family will definitely be suspicious, and if it is Ma Sui and Hun Xuan, they will also lose their military power. ”

"Dear uncle, is there only these four heroes in the Tang family?"

In the face of Zampu's sudden question, Shang Jiezan and Ma Chongying were suddenly embarrassed, but they couldn't see it in the bright sun of Shanzhou, because the big nobles present all painted their faces ochre.

Shang Jiezan has Gou Touyuan, Ma Chongying has An Lechuan, they have both seen the strange black and white Pixiu battle flag, but what makes them even more ashamed is that although they were defeated, they didn't know what the owner of the military flag was?

Of course, judging from the qualifications of Shang Jiezan and Ma Chongying, these two only admit at most that they "had small ups and downs for various reasons" in front of this battle flag, and it is absolutely impossible to openly admit the fiasco.

Especially at this juncture, we must not lose our ambition.

"Ma, Hun, Duan, and Li Si will be removed, and I will be able to drive straight into it, like a no-man's land." The two of them assured in unison, and their tones were very arrogant, "The rest of the Tang family are all vulgar. ”

Among them, Ma Chongying also took out the whip decorated with gold from his belt, pointed to the map sand table and said: "After the robbery of the alliance, Dafan must be heavily pressed, just like Chongshan crushing tired eggs, completely crushing the Tang people's defense line in Yanzhou Wuyuan, Liupan Mountain, Longshan and Jiannan Xishan, this line of defense is like the backbone of a person, the hammer of my Dafan warriors will crush it, and the Tang family will be paralyzed like mud and can no longer stand up!" At that time, not only will Chang'an City be returned to my Great Tibetan territory, but the Manjushri Bodhisattva of Wutai Mountain will also be welcomed into the Red Palace of Zampu. ”

Under such persuasion, Tri Song Detsen, as the largest slave owner in all of Western Tibet, was of course tempted and finally agreed to the idea of raiding the alliance and marching into the army (this was determined by his class nature):

Ben Zampu handed over all the guards to Shang Jiezan, robbed the alliance in Xiji, and captured Ma Sui and Hun Xuan;

The 25,000 border troops of the host province were handed over to Shang Jiezan's deputy general on Xu Li to lead, directly attack Longzhou Huangyuan, destroy the new city built by the Tang people here, and then uproot Huating, Wangyang, Nanyou and other Tang strongholds in Longzhou, the goal is to force Fengxiang's Tang soldiers back to Fengxiang Mansion in Huangshan and Qishan, in which Zampu specially ordered that after seizing the lands of Longzhou, "plunder the local Tang people and soldiers, kill those who do not obey, take away all the livestock, burn all the houses, and destroy all the cities". to destroy the war potential of the Don Army to the maximum;

Beidao Da talked about Ma Chongying, and after the big material was gathered, he would gather 30,000 elite soldiers, and Ben Zampu would give you some additional forbidden troops in Dongdai, cross the Yellow River, and destroy it again while the Tang Yanzhou New City was not completed, "Ben Zampu can't wait to see what kind of expression will be on the face of the Tang family after Yanzhou City is smashed by your sword for the third time", and then encouraged the entire party on all sides of Bai Yushan to fall, and selected a leader who can command the overall situation and prestige from among them, and gave the title of "Zampu Zhong" (meaning Zanpu's younger brother) to this person, so that with the support of Dafan, he can unite the power of the party and fight against the Tang family for a long time;

Jiannan Dao on recklessness, Qinghai Dao on fear of waves, gathered 50,000 soldiers, ordered the barbarians and Qianghu tribes of the eight countries of Xishan where Dafan and Tang Xichuan intersected to send 20,000 servant soldiers, and let the "Zampu Zhong" Nanzhao Wang Yimu Xun send 30,000 troops, a total of 100,000 troops, to attack the Shu capital city of Xichuan, "this place is made to Wei Gao, the qualifications are very shallow, everyone is just a courtier for the son of heaven of the Tang family, and he can get this high position with favor and trust", the goal is to capture the Shu capital city in one fell swoop, and break the power of the Tang family in Sanchuan.

In the end, Zampu also issued a new strategy: "In this battle, when attacking the city, from among the Han people of Helong, one man was drawn from every three households, and his parents, wives and children were held hostage in the palaces and forts of various states. ”

Shang Jiezan, Ma Chongying and other nobles immediately accepted the order, and then Zampu used the king's seal, Shang Jiezan used the frog seal, Ma Chongying used the red lotus seal, and the other festivals used the seals of various patterns such as flying dogs and eagles.
