Chapter 240: The Change of Linyi

Qian Dashun and Jiang Zhongshi listened to Lai Xing'er's arrangements for the division of labor between the three of them, as well as the deployment of the next move, and they all nodded in agreement. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info only, Qian Dashun mentioned that the jurisdiction of Longyou Prison is far more than one Liangzhou, including Ganzhou, Shanzhou, Jingzhou and other parts of other states connected to the boundary of Liangzhou, if you want to completely find out the exact number of warhorses under Longyou Prison, it will take some time, Lai Xing'er remembered that the remnants of the Shenhe Army led by Luo San'er had also been hidden in the branch under the jurisdiction of Longyoujian, so he told Qian Dashun to concentrate on finding out the exact number of war horses in Liangzhou, and Luo San'er was responsible for all other places. When the two of them listened, they didn't say anything, so after the victory in the first battle at the Tiantai Mountain Dharma Teaching Conference, a new plan of action and division of labor was decided.

For more than ten days in a row, accompanied by interpreter Wang Hua, Lai Xing'er personally went to the camp where Master Gongga lived every morning and evening, visited him on his recovery from his injuries, accompanied him to talk about the similarities and differences between the customs of Tibet and Western Xinjiang, and even sometimes asked him for some Buddhist teachings. Gradually, Master Gongga became less wary of Lai Xing'er, and when his interest was high, he took the initiative to introduce the situation of the temples in Tubo to Lai Xing'er, and repeatedly praised the great monks in Guanghui Temple on Tianti Mountain, whose Buddhist attainments were never below him.

Seeing that Guru Gongga's injuries had healed, one day, Lai Xing'er took advantage of the old monk's good mood and brought up the old words again, and asked him again about Guru Gongpo. Hearing this, Master Gongga sighed, and no longer avoided talking about the political affairs in Tibet as before, but told Lai Xing'er about the recent changes in Tibet.

According to Master Gongga, he did not come to Liangzhou to preach and preach the Dharma this time, but actually came to help him realize his plan to transform the Han Dynasty into a Tibetan scholar at the request of Lange.

More than a month ago, in view of the fact that Nasimo led the army to capture more than a dozen state cities in the western part of Middle-earth, and briefly occupied the imperial capital Chang'an, the main battle in the Tubo Dynasty was very prosperous, led by Da Lun Lange, the civil and military ministers clamored to unite the Turks and Tuyuhun to the north, and to the south to send orders to the vassals of Tubo Nanzhao and Linyi, jointly launched a second attack on Middle-earth, captured Chang'an again, and established the strongest Tubo kingdom in history.

However, a grim situation also faced the main war ministers of Tibet: Tubo was already sparsely populated and had just recovered from civil strife, and there was a serious shortage of soldiers to recruit. In order to achieve the grand goal of overthrowing the court of Middle-earth and occupying the entire territory of Middle-earth, Tubo needs to recruit at least 100,000 warriors who can conquer and fight to supplement the army. When there was no one to levy in Tibet, Lange forcibly assigned the task of replenishing the army supply of Tibet to the heads of the three small states that submitted to Tibet.

The first person named by Lange to recruit was Tuyuhun. Tuyuhun is located between Tubo and Middle-earth, and recruits soldiers from the territory of Tuyuhun to fight against Middle-earth, which is quite convenient for geographical location. Tuyuhun invaded Tubo a hundred years ago, almost conquered the entire territory of Tubo, and was later destroyed by Tubo, although it still retains the royal court, in fact, it has completely lost its independent status, therefore, the number of conscriptions issued by Lange to Tuyuhun is 40,000, the largest among the three small states. As a close relative of Lange, Guru Gonggar had no choice but to serve his nephew when the monks of Tibet accompanied Guru Gongpot to oppose Tubo's northward invasion of Middle-earth and Western Xinjiang. At any time, it is ready to cooperate with Nasimo to launch another attack on Chang'an.

The second small state that needed to transport and recruit troops for Tibet was Nanzhao. However, after the civil strife in the Tubo State subsided, the Tubo general Nasimo tried his best to advocate the expansion of the territory of Tubo, not only overpowering the chieftains of the Linyi tribe who had a feud with the Dongman tribe to which they belonged to change to Tubo Zampu as the lord, forcing Linyi to cut off contact with the Zhongtu court, but also threatening to send troops to invade, forcing Nanzhao to become a vassal state of Tubo. The number of recruits issued by Lange to the king of Nanzhao was 30,000.

If Tuyuhun and Nanzhao, despite their reluctance, were able to barely complete the recruitment task given to them by the suzerainty of Tubo in terms of the number of light and strong people in the two states, then when Lange's recruitment order reached Linyi, which had the smallest number of people and the most narrow territory among the three states, it caused an uproar in Linyi State.

It turned out that since Nashimo, who was born in the Dongman tribe in the north of Linyi, won the power of the Scorpion Army, he insisted on going his own way and led the army to get involved in the internal affairs of the neighboring Tubo, helping Tubo Chide Zampu to ascend to the throne and quelling the civil strife in Tubo. Although Nasimo himself became a general in Tibet, he did not bring any benefit to the old state of Linyi.

From then on, because of the annual delivery of troops and tribute to Tibet, there was a strong dissatisfaction in the Linyi state against Nasimo and even the Dongman tribe. Until a few months ago, it was reported that the council of elders of several other tribes in the Linyi State decided to send people to Middle-earth to retrieve the descendants of Nabro, the founder of the Scorpion Army, and let him (she) replace Nasimo as the leader of the Cave Barbarian tribe, so that Linyi could gradually get rid of the control of Tibet and regain friendship with Middle-earth.

Therefore, when the recruitment order of the Tubo Great Lange was issued to the Linyi state, it immediately aroused strong opposition from the tribes of Linyi. If the recruitment task is completed in accordance with the requirements of the recruitment order, then almost all the young and strong men in the Linyi state will need to wear perseverance and serve the expansion of the territory of Tibet, but Linyi will not get any benefit from it. At this time, it is said that Nabro's descendants returned to Linyi and replaced Nasimo as the new leader of the Dongman tribe by the unanimous election of the tribes of the state.

The first decision made by the new chieftain was to send someone to the Raksa to inform the Tibetan court in person that Nasimo and his clan had been expelled from the Dongman, and that the Dongman tribe would no longer replenish the Scorpion Army from now on.

For Tibet, this can be described as a wave of unsettled and rising waves. Seeing that the smoke in the north was not extinguished, and that there would be chaos in his south, Lang Ge, who replaced Zampu in power, had no choice but to come to the door as a disciple to see Master Kampot and beg him to go to Linyi in person to persuade the new leader of the Dongman tribe to change his unfriendly attitude towards Tibet, and by the way to supervise the progress of Linyi's recruitment.
