Chapter 117 6 Competition

As the Tibetan Zanpu Gesang, he often left the capital to make rounds throughout the year. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Since he used a surprise attack last year to defeat the only force that threatens him, the royal brother Saidit, the entire territory of Tubo has been under the rule of Gesang, except for the brave general named Burkasili who is guarding the fortress Flying Eagle City, and Gesang has begun to set his sights on the territory outside Tubo again. However, it has to be said that Gesang missed the best opportunity to extend his power into the Western Regions, and due to the reckless actions of Anbalturi, the forces that Tubo had deployed in the Western Regions for many years were severely damaged by Abicheril, and then Wang Hanxin took advantage of the void to attack and seize the Western Regions. At this time, Gesang was busy eliminating his younger brother Sadit and had no time to take care of him, and now that the master of the Western Regions had changed hands and become his ally, it would be unreasonable to make another move. Gesang couldn't help but lament that the time was not with me, so he had to endure it for the time being and wait for the opportunity.

In order to ensure the internal stability of Tibet, Gesang met with and summoned the leaders of many tribes during the year, ensured their loyalty to him, and vigorously carried out military training, which led to the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the Tibetan army, especially the gratifying results of his training of the army in imitation of Anbalturi's military training methods.

The only regret is that Anbalturi has long since been killed by himself, and the successor of Bull, who is most proficient in this training method, is now his opponent, and although the quality of his army has improved, it is still not as good as the defenders of Eagle City, as can be seen from the skirmishes between the two sides in the past three years.

Gesang himself didn't expect the opportunity to appear in front of his eyes again so soon. Just as he was touring the northern border, his own land of Longxing, an emissary claiming to be the lord of Bataana brought him the good news.

Dadaran, who is currently acting as the leader of Badana, has brought this message to Gesang, and Tuqi will soon send troops to the Western Regions in an attempt to destroy the army of the Silk Country there. As allies of the Silk Country, the Paz Empire and Tibet obviously cannot sit idly by, so it is necessary to send troops to the border in time to prepare for emergencies.

Gesang pondered the news carefully, and couldn't help but smile slightly: it was obvious that this was meant by Basbarn, because a lord acting for the Badana Empire had no right to decide whether or not the Paz Empire would enter the war. And the intention of the other side is clearly not just to help the allies. Because the news that Tuqi is going to attack the Western Regions must be top secret even in Tuqi, how can the Paz Empire know about it? Obviously, Tuqi had invited him to join him in the conspiration to seize the Western Regions, and the matter here would never be so simple.

Immediately after sending off the envoy, Gesang summoned his advisor Rodsarn and informed him of the news.

After hearing this, Rodessahn couldn't help but laugh: "It seems that this Baibasbar is really a guy with two ends of the first rat." He stationed troops on the border of Bataana, ostensibly with the intention of helping the Silk Country, but in fact there was also the possibility of helping Tuqi, and even taking advantage of the fire to loot. With the strength of the Silk Country, the strength of the Silk Country is at war with the Tukchi, and the national strength of the Tukchi is ultimately inferior, and the result of a long-term war will inevitably be unfavorable to the Turgye. But from the Western Regions alone, the victory or defeat is only between the general's thoughts. Bai Basbahn obviously couldn't clearly judge the outcome of this battle, so he thought of the trick of garrisoning the border. In this way, the movements of the Paz army will inevitably attract the attention of the Silk Country, and the Silk Country will have to be on guard before he has made a clear move. In this way, the power of the Silk Country, which needs to be taken care of both sides, is weakened, and Tuqi has the upper hand. But if the deed is won, the trade route will be cut off again, which is obviously not the result that Paz wants to see. The best outcome was a crushing victory for the Silk Country, which had to turn to the power of Paz to secure the trade routes; And Tuqi regretted defeat, so he had to rely more on Path's power to help him, so that Path had both sides. ”

Gesang nodded again and again: "That's right, in order to prevent his actions from causing dissatisfaction in the Silk Country, so he sent an envoy to try to pull us into the water." He understands that we have coveted the land as much as he does, but we just don't have a chance to do it. If we also deploy our troops on the border, the Silk Nation will be embattled on all sides, and they will have to lower their posture and ask for the help of our two countries in order to defeat the Turge. As long as we borrow the strength of our two countries to defeat Tuqi, regardless of whether we actually contribute or not, as long as we don't stab the Silk Country in the back, then the Silk Country will definitely express our gratitude to our two countries, and this is the best time for us to ask the Silk Country for its interests in the Western Regions. ”

Rodsarn smiled, "As long as we handle it properly, we don't even need to consume a single soldier, we can smoothly get into the Western Regions and regain control of this land." In the future, the Western Regions will be a situation shared by Tibet, Paz and the Silk Country, and at this time, even if the Silk Country wants to regain the ruling power here, it must take into account the reaction of our two countries, and the distribution of benefits brought by the trade route must be decided by our three countries through joint consultation. ”

"Thank you Abicilir for giving us this opportunity."

Rodsarn said: "There is another point to note, that is, in case the Turks and the Silk Country are evenly matched, and the war drags on, then our two countries must make their positions clear, and if we don't send troops to help at this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to justify." Also, if the agent of Baibasbar is hot-headed at this time and chooses to side with the Turgeon, then our attitude is very important. On this point, please also think twice. ”

After hearing this, Gesang nodded and said, "You reminded me well." On this point, I think we're going to be on the side of the Silk Country anyway. If Paz is on the side of the Turks and we are on the side of the Silk Country, the balance of power can still be maintained. Although the powerful army of the Paz Empire is famous throughout the continent, they will not have more troops on the Eastern Front than us, and it is too laborious to mobilize the troops in the rear, and our army with a short distance has the advantage. As long as it can be equal, then after the war is over, we can sell a greater favor to the country of silk. On the contrary, if we also stand on the side of the Turbulent Contract, then the Silk Country will be defeated, and the trade route will be cut off again, which is not only unfavorable to Paz, but also has no benefit to us, and in case of a miracle Silk Country wins, then the Silk Country will not be the enemy of the three countries at the same time, it is conceivable that it will never make peace with the Turquoise Contract, and the Path Empire is in the most critical position of the trade route, and the benefits of making peace with it are obviously much more than ours, so the United Paz is inevitable, and the possibility of making peace with our country is very low. Moreover, the border between our country and the country of silk is too long, and if the country of silk is really my enemy, I am afraid that we will have a very difficult time dealing with it. ”

"Zampu Mingjian, you can analyze the overall situation between countries with such a clear mind, and Weichen has nothing to worry about." Rodessahn bowed respectfully to express his admiration.

Gesang smiled and said, "Then let's discuss the specific matters next." (To be continued.) )
