The news that the Song army would join forces in Hexi was a huge threat to Western Xia, and if it was not good, Western Xia would be wiped out, and it would not work if Li Bingchang and his ministers were not shocked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Of course, it was not only the Western Xia who was terrified, but also the Tibetans.

Tubo belongs to the hometown of Xiqiang, but its origin is impossible to investigate, and most of the historical materials can only come from legends. The rise of Tibet can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty, because of Songtsen Gampo and unified, and powerful. From then on, Tubo began a centuries-long struggle with the Tang Dynasty.

Although there were times of peace and sometimes war for hundreds of years, in general, the relationship between Tibet and the Tang Dynasty was hostile. Although our history textbooks talk about how good Tibet is, it does not correspond to history.

At the earliest, Tibet did not accept the influence of the Han civilization, but identified with the Tianzhu civilization of Asan, India. In order to create the Tibetan language, Songtsen Gampo unified Tibet and sent people to study the current Kashmir region, which belonged to India at that time, and the Tibetans learned the Tianzhu script and accepted the Tianzhu civilization. Therefore, the Tibetan script is similar to the Tianzhu script.

Princess Wencheng's entry into Tibet has a far-reaching impact, and it can be said that this is the beginning of the transformation of the Tubo people from accepting the Tianzhu civilization to accepting the Han civilization. However, at the beginning, Songtsen Gampo looked down on the Tang Dynasty, fought several battles with the Tang Dynasty, and defeated the Tang Dynasty, and then he realized that the Tang Dynasty was very strong, and after a series of events, finally Princess Wencheng entered Tibet.

Princess Wencheng brought a large number of Han civilization, Han books, and Han science and technology with her into Tibet, which greatly promoted the social development of Tibet and greatly improved the national strength of Tibet. At the same time, it also made the Tubo people begin to accept the Han civilization, and the acceptance of the Tianzhu civilization here began to waver, and gradually withdrew from the stage, and was finally replaced by the Han civilization.

This is one of the reasons why India has repeatedly wanted to include Tibetan provinces in its territory. In Nehru's vision of Greater India, Tibetan Province was included, because India was unwilling to fail.

In the Songtsen Gampo era, the relationship between Tibet and the Tang Dynasty was quite good, although there were frictions from time to time, but it was mostly peaceful. After the death of Songtsen Gampo, the relationship between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty changed, and with the increase of national strength, Tubo was not satisfied, and competed with the Tang Dynasty for the Hexi Corridor.

When it comes to Tibet, many people think of Tibet Province and Qinghai, thinking that Tibet is only such a big place, which is very wrong! At that time, the territory of Tibet was extremely vast, not only including the current Tibetan Province and Qinghai, but also Afghanistan, Pakistan, and some parts of India, which controlled thousands of miles and was the biggest threat to the Tang Dynasty in the surrounding areas.

The Turks were very strong, but they were destroyed by the Tang Dynasty. The strength of Tubo is also very strong, but the Tang Dynasty is helpless, because Tubo occupies a favorable terrain, the terrain where Tubo is located is dangerous, the terrain is complex, there are countless mountains and mountains, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is even more difficult for the Tang Dynasty to attack Tubo.

Not to mention anything else, just one stone pass made the Tang Dynasty lose tens of thousands of soldiers.

It is precisely because Tubo occupies a favorable terrain that it can be attacked and defended, and there is no need to worry about the future, but Tubo, which is far inferior to the Tang Dynasty in strength, has repeatedly threatened the land west of the river.

Although Tibet occupies a geographical advantage, if it wants to be an enemy of the Tang Dynasty, it is not enough, and it is necessary to mention another great power that has fought with the Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years, the Arab Empire.

After the rise of the Arab Empire, it marched eastward, conquering part of the territory of Pakistan and India, bordering the western regions of the Tang Dynasty, and finally broke out into war, which lasted for hundreds of years. Although the Arab Empire could not defeat the Tang Dynasty, it pressed the Tang Dynasty and did not even have the opportunity to Islamize the Middle East. However, the Arab Empire was also a great power, and although it was defeated repeatedly, it was repeatedly warn.

It was in this situation that the Tibetan and Arab empires came together, and the two great empires had a common opponent, the Tang Dynasty! Moreover, if they fought with the Tang Dynasty alone, they would not be the opponents of the Tang Dynasty, and in the end they formed an alliance, and they were embarrassed to fight with the Tang Dynasty.

The main part of Tibet is on the Tibetan Plateau, and the other part of the country is in the Western Regions, close to the Arab Empire, which makes it easier for the two countries to form an alliance.

Due to its good geographical location, Tibet seriously threatened the land west of the river, and constantly attacked the Hexi Corridor, trying to seize the Hexi Corridor, but it was unsuccessful. To a certain extent, this contained the Tang Dynasty, which had to send a large number of troops to defend the Tibetan Corridor and protect the Hexi Corridor.

Needless to say, the important surname of the Hexi Corridor is the only way to connect the central area of China and the Western Regions, and it cannot be lost.

Perhaps, it was this kind of containment that made the Tang Dynasty's strength in the Western Regions insufficient, and finally there was the defeat of Talas.

The alliance between Tibet and the Arab Empire posed a great threat to the Western Regions, and the Tang Dynasty once lost the four towns of Anxi, and Wu Zetian sent troops to recover them.

In the last years of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo once occupied the land of Longxi, entered Guanzhong, and caused great destruction. However, not long after, Tibet was also divided, and the country weakened and collapsed.

Today's Tubo mainly lives in Qinghai, that is, in the area of Qinghai Lake, and its leader is called Dong Yu.

The beautiful Qinghai Lake is like a huge mirror, with beautiful scenery and unforgettable scenery.

Herds of cattle and sheep are melodious, with a peaceful atmosphere.

There were countless tabernacles, one after the other, and there was no end in sight.

There is a huge tent, the golden-topped golden eagle, full of domineering, a flagpole outside the tent, the king's flag fluttering, stretching picturesquely, making the sound of hunting.

In the tabernacle, Dong Yu was drinking and eating meat with a group of ministers. There are not many political affairs in Tibet, and the state affairs are simple, and they can be explained clearly in a few words after meeting, which is far less complicated than that of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, Dong Yu has a lot of time, and when he has nothing to do, he either goes hunting, climbs a woman's belly, or feasts with his ministers.

The fatty mutton emitted an attractive fragrance, the hot horse ** exuded a fragrant fragrance, and the monarchs and ministers were so unhappy to eat, and their mouths were full of oil.

"Zampu, the party and the Song people finally fought in Hexi, this is a great thing for us!"

"Yes! The Song people have been in the nest for hundreds of years, and finally they are heroes and come to Hexi, which is really unexpected! ”

"In the previous dynasty, the Han people were brave and invincible, and they fought the heroes! The Turks, the Tuyuhun, the Uighurs, the Great Cannibals, and our Tubo are not opponents of the Han Chinese, so they are pressed and beaten! At that time, the Han people charged, overwhelming, courageless, and shocking! As soon as the previous dynasty died, the Han people were like wilted things, and they collapsed! ”

As one of the main opponents of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo had suffered too many defeats under the Tang Dynasty, and they knew very well how powerful the Tang army was! The Tang army charged, overwhelming, irresistible, and I don't know how many Tubo people died under the hands of the Tang army. Although the Tang Dynasty has been dead for more than 100 years, they are afraid, according to the stories passed down from the old people.

However, after the establishment of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty did not embark on the road of the Tang Dynasty's strength, and it was still very cowardly, and it was pressed and beaten by the Tanguts and Khitans, who were not too strong in number and not too strong, and they were funny when they thought about it.

As soon as these ridiculed words came out, they all looked down on the Song people with disdain, and they looked down on the Song people at all.

"The harder they fight, the better!" Dong Yu was tall and bloody, and his voice was extremely loud, and this opening was like thunder: "The more fierce they fight, the more they ask for us!" Over the years, we have been pressing the Tangut people, and we have to bow to the Song Emperor, respect him as the emperor, and be controlled by him. Hmph, how could the descendants of Songtsen Gampo be so wretched? ”

In order to fight against the Western Xia, the Tubo had to bow to the Song Dynasty, recognize the rule of the Song Dynasty, and accept the official title of the Song Dynasty. Although this is only a superficial article, it is still very unpleasant for them.

"Yes!"

"The Xixia people fought with the Song people, this is called dog bite dog, there is always a dog that can't resist, so we have to beg us, give us enough benefits, we can ask for a price!"

If the Western Xia and the Song Dynasty fought in Hexi, the benefit would be Tibet, and they could benefit from it, and all the ministers would be overjoyed.

"You say, is this Wu Ji three-headed and six-armed, he actually won three fortified cities in one go. What's even more unbelievable is that he even took down Xiazhou! ”

"If he had three heads and six arms, he wouldn't have stayed in Xiazhou. He must have been cowardly. ”

The ministers began to discuss and brought the conversation to Wu Ji.

Dong Yu's eyes flashed, and he said: "Although Wu Ji is in three cities in a row, he also has endless crises, the troops in his hands are insufficient, if he attacks Xingqing Mansion at this time, even if he can destroy Western Xia, it will leave troubles." Do you think, there are a lot of Western Xia troops in Xingqing Mansion, even if Li Bingchang can't beat it, he won't escape? If Li Bingchang wanted to escape, Wu Ji couldn't stop him no matter what. Yes, Wu Ji stopped in Xiazhou, and he was waiting for reinforcements. Hey! We can send an envoy to see Wu Ji and ask for benefits. In order to get reinforcements, he does not dare to refuse our benefits! ”

Dong Yu was shrewd, and he actually saw through Wu Ji's intentions. His idea is very right, if in this case, he shows his intention to move closer to Wu Ji, Wu Ji will inevitably give him a lot of benefits in order to win him over.

"Zampu Wise!"

The ministers admired it, and as soon as this strategy was used, they would have a lot of benefits, a lot of goods, and they could not enjoy it.

"Not only that, but we also have to send envoys to Li Bingchang, if Li Bingchang dares not to give benefits, we will help Wu Ji beat him. In order to win us over, Li Bingchang will definitely give us a lot of goods. The light in Dong Yu's eyes became more and more prosperous: "We will curry favor on both sides, get benefits, and then sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and we will help whoever wins." By then, they were all exhausted, and it wasn't up to us to decide? That way, we will benefit the most! ”

Insidious enough!

"Haha!" The ministers burst into laughter, their faces glowing red, as if they had received great benefits.

"Yu Zanpu, the western soldiers took Hengshan and entered the realm of Western Xia, and the 200,000 western soldiers joined Wu Ji's army!"

Just when the kings and ministers were proud, a personal soldier came in to report.

"What? The Western Soldiers are coming? Dong Yu almost didn't believe his ears, and the beautiful thoughts that had just risen were gone, and he screamed: "Not good! Wu Ji is not waiting for us, it is the Western Soldiers! 200,000 Western soldiers! Oh my God, as soon as the Western soldiers arrived, Wu Ji's military strength increased greatly, not only was Western Xia in danger of extinction, but even our Tubo was also difficult to protect! How good is that? ”

The joy on Dong Yu's face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a look of horror on his face!
