Chapter 465: Dongnu Country

Cheng Yanjin rested in Jiangda for one night, and the next day he took 15,000 of his soldiers out of the city to the southwest to chase after him.

And on the day that Cheng Yanjin left from Jiangda, Niu Jinda was also leaving from Kangyanchuan, and it was actually only three or two days away from Jiangda, which was close at hand.

But Wu Yuanqing and they just didn't know that Niu Jinda had only arrived in Kangyanchuan for many days, the reason was that there were too many deserters in Tubo, and there were many people running in the east and west, although the general route was to the southwest towards Siam, but the route to escape was different, and a fork in the road could be divided into two groups of people.

Niu Jinda they just chased the wrong route, followed the wrong target, originally chased Tubo Zanpu Songtsen Gampo, from Seda to Jiangda are not right to chase, but because they stopped in Jiangda to eat a meal and rest, the scouts who sent to track lost people.

It can't be said that it was lost people, it was the wrong object to track, Songtsen Gampo was chased all the way by the Tang army like a dog, and he was already unbearable, because he was chased by the Tang army and had no time to make a deployment.

It just so happened that the Tang army stopped to rest and gave him a chance, and the most important thing was that at this time, another group of Tubo defeated troops converged with Songtsen Gampo and gave him the manpower to arrange the division of troops.

Songtsen Gampo simply integrated the newly added rout, and then redivided the men who had been following him from the rout, from one group to three groups.

Songtsen Gampo and a few henchmen were mixed in one of them, and there were no more or no less, but all his own team continued to flee for their lives. The other two strands fled from the other two routes.

Although the scout was experienced, he could never have imagined that Songtsen Gampo, who was being chased and killed by the Tang army, did not follow the team with the largest number of people after dividing his troops, but followed the team with a small number of people.

The scout firmly believed in his mind that those who were high officials would follow the most secure and large number of troops, let alone the king of Tibet, so when he reported to Niu Jinda, he reported the direction of the army with the largest number of people.

So the old cow was led astray, and after chasing after the force with great difficulty, he found that he had chased the wrong one.

Finally, I went around and returned to the original route, and then chased the traces left by a team of people and horses to Kangyanchuan.

When he arrived in Kangyanchuan, Niu Jinda asked for the information he wanted without any effort, two days ago, a remnant of the Tibetan army came here, but he didn't stay long, he ate something and grabbed some food and left. Even the question of whether there is anything that looks like a big man in it has been answered.

The news came too easily, Niu Jinda was a little skeptical about the accuracy of the information, this is the territory of Tubo, and they are all the people of Tubo, how can it be so easy to sell his own people, it's too unreasonable.

But after asking a lot of people, I found that what the person said at the beginning should be right, and now he can't help but believe it.

In fact, Niu Jinda didn't fully understand that Kangyanchuan is indeed the territory of Tibet, but this time is extremely short, only two or three years, before that, this belonged to another country, or the capital of that country.

Kangyanchuan is also the Qamdo of later generations, the location is very superior, located in the Hengduan Mountains and the three rivers (Jinsha River, Lancang River, Nu River) basin, in Tubo, and the Tang Jiannan Road, and Lingnan is the throat of the junction of Yunnan and Yunnan.

Like what Tibet, and other countries on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Tang Jiannan Road will pass through here, which is a commercial hub.

Before the Tibetan invasion of this place, this was the seat of the Dongnu Kingdom and the Subi Kingdom, which is not two countries, but two names for one country.

The reason why it is called the Eastern Women's Kingdom is because one of the most prominent characteristics of the culture here is the social system of women-centered and female worship, the "Old Tang Book" said that the country "values women and despises husbands", and the "New Tang Dynasty" volume 146 "Western Regions Biography" on the "Eastern Women's Country" records that the Eastern Women's Kingdom "is vulgar and despises men, and the noble women have servants". Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Old Tang Book" volume 197 "Biography of the Southern Barbarians and Southwest Barbarians": "The East Female Country, another species of the Western Qiang, there is a female country in the West Sea, so it is called the Eastern Female Yan." The vulgar woman is king. It is connected with Maozhou and Dangxiang in the east, and Yazhou in the southeast, and is separated by Luo Numan and White Wolf Yi. It travels nine days from east to west and twenty days from north to south. In more than 80 cities of all sizes, the name of the king's residence is Kangyanchuan, there is a weak water flowing south, and the cowhide is used as a boat for the ferry. ”

This is the introduction of the Eastern Female Kingdom in the Old Tang Dynasty, and the introduction of the Eastern Female Kingdom in the Book of Sui is as follows: "The female country, in the south of the Green Mountains, has a female king in its dynasty. The king's surname was Subi, and he reigned for twenty years. The queen's husband, known as Jin Ju, does not know political affairs. The husband in the country only takes conquest as his business. The mountain is a city, five or six miles square, and there are ten thousand people. The king's residence is a nine-story building, with hundreds of maids, and he listens to the court every five days. There is a little queen who knows the country's politics.

This is a matrilineal society or tribe, and the patrilineal society is completely different from the country, the customs and ruling basis are completely different, and the time of the Tibetan invasion is too short, so it has not been completely integrated and digested by the Tibetans.

Then it is understandable that the people here do not hide their whereabouts from the Tibetan people, and if they don't think that they are their own people, of course they are outsiders, and outsiders naturally have no need to keep secrets.

However, even if the people here did not keep the Tibetan people secret, Niu Jinda also roughly confirmed from the information he asked that this rout should be the team of Songtsen Gampo, but he actually didn't feel the need to catch up.

After all, it is the territory of Tibet, and nominally, it is definitely not easy to catch up with others on other people's territory, let alone two days behind, so long time is enough for Songtsen Gampo to escape.

Second, after chasing for more than ten days in a row, the Tang soldiers were already sleepy and tired, not to mention the rations they brought, the key is that dozens of soldiers have symptoms of chest tightness and poor breathing, in Wu Yuanqing's words, this is altitude sickness, the most common symptom of the Tang people in Tubo.

Niu Jinda wanted to stop there, but he was a little unwilling, he could be so close to the lord of Tubo, so close that it was only a day or two away, and there were not many opportunities to catch it, the first time he let him run outside Songzhou City, do you want to let him run away from his eyes again?

Niu Jinda, who caught the credit of the king of the enemy country, didn't think about it at all now, he just felt that there was an unwillingness in his heart, and he was unwilling to accept the failure of watching the enemy flee again.

After thinking about it again and again, Niu Jinda still decided to chase down for two more days, in order to leave no regrets and work harder.
