Coming out of the old Taoist priest, Zhang Ji held a cut medicine ear with his only remaining hand and kept sniffing it under his nose, although Wang Mai's behavior was abnormal, but he never had no purpose, just like that day he transported a few jars full of toner into the palace, and then there was an explosion, this medicine ear that smelled with a bitter aroma looked ordinary, but Wang Wheat valued it so much, there must be some secret in it.

Wang Mai looked at the suspicious Zhang Ji next to him with a smile: "Be careful, this herb has the effect of reviving the dead, don't waste it." ”

Zhang Jiyan's hand shook when he heard this, the medicine ear in his hand almost fell to the ground, and he hurriedly picked it up, looking at Wang Mai with a suspicious expression: "Come back to life?" If these words came out of other people's mouths, he would not believe a word, after all, he had been mixed in the army for so many years, and he had seen many dead people, and he had never seen anyone come back to life. But Wang Mai is too amazing, that kind of invisible qi can rekindle the extinguished spark, and he has such a good relationship with Sun Lao Immortal, does he really master any immortal-like means?

"That's right," Wang Mai nodded affirmatively, and said solemnly, "The wine made from this flower can bring drunkards back from the dead." ”

"Drunkard?" Zhang Ji suddenly realized, "You said that this medicinal ear is used to make wine?" "No wonder...... Wang Mai is famous for brewing fairy brews in Luoyang, and it is reasonable to use this strange flower to make any good wine. Maybe it's a better wine than the gods, and the gods make ten pounds, I'm afraid this new wine is not less than this number, right? Carefully holding the medicine ear in his hand, Zhang Ji seemed to see a piece of gold.

"This wine is cheap," said Wang Mai, "...... alcohol is low, but the taste is mellow and pleasant, and if you can drink a bucket in the summer, it will definitely be a good thing to live better than the gods." ”

"What kind of wine is this?" Liang San next to him was also moved when he heard it, and subconsciously asked.

"Beer!"

"Leather wine?" The two of them had question marks on their heads.

Barley is indispensable for brewing beer, and the West Market, an international market, soon found a grain store selling barley, owned by a thin middle-aged man in a robe with a lapel and a skullcap, and a face with a pronounced plateau red.

Fellow Tibetans? Wang Mai subconsciously folded his hands over the top and wanted to perform a popular Tibetan etiquette in later generations, this move frightened the shopkeeper hurriedly to the side, and the guys in the store were also shocked, looking at Wang Mai in a gorgeous costume in horror.

Zhang Jiyi grabbed Wang Mai, and the temperature on his face was hot: "How can these alien countries bear Langjun's gift?" He felt that Wang Mai's actions were really embarrassing and thrown home, not to mention that a county prince personally went shopping to buy things, and even was so polite to these barbarians, which really damaged the reputation of the Celestial Empire.

Wang Mai also came back to his senses at this time, and felt that something was indeed wrong, but these were all small sections, harmless, and hurriedly comforted the shopkeeper and the guy: "That ......" thought about it for a long time, but didn't come up with any words, so he had to point to the barley in the store and say, "I want all of these." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly wiped his sweat and instructed his men in Tubo to pack up the barley and send it to the nobleman's house.

While taking out the money to pay the bill, Wang Mai casually asked about the situation in Tubo: "How is your king Songtsen Gampo?" ”

"Back to your nobles, the current king of Tubo is Langri Zampu...... the man said with a look of embarrassment, "Prince Songtsam is only four years old now. ”

"So that's ......" Wang Mai smiled awkwardly, it turned out that the famous Songtsen Gampo in later generations was still a child. However, the Han people themselves did not know much about these states, and even the emperor often misremembered the names of the leaders of the states, which is common, and it is not surprising.

"Langri Zampu defeated the Subi tribe last year and unified the ...... of Tibet" Under the narration of the shopkeeper, Wang Mai finally had a general understanding of the situation in Tibet. Later, after a series of development policies, the Yalong Sibuye tribe continued to develop, and finally conquered other enemies on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and completed the great cause of the unification of Tibet. After Langri Zampu became the lord of Tibet, he actively contacted the Tang Dynasty in order to establish good diplomatic relations.

Zhang Ji had some understanding of these Fanbang alien races, and saw that Wang Mai seemed to be very interested in these Fanbang alien races, so he introduced the actual situation of Tubo to him. Wang Mai nodded after listening, it seems that the current Tubo is still just a loose tribal alliance, Langri Songtsan nominally unified Tubo, but there are still many tribes under his command, far from the glorious era when Songtsen Gampo later established a strong Tubo Dynasty.

Among the alien races around the Tang Dynasty, Tubo may not be the opponent with the strongest combat effectiveness, but it is the most troublesome opponent. Because basically only he fights you, it is basically impossible for the Han army to set foot on the plateau at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters to attack Tibet, and altitude sickness will kill people. Wang Mai remembered that Tibet was not incorporated into China's territory until the Yuan Dynasty, and he only knew one Songtsen Gampo in his history before that.

As the Tang Dynasty became stronger and stronger, the frontier issue will become particularly important, and now the first to bear the brunt is of course the Turks, but this Tubo should not be underestimated. Nomads who grew up in harsh natural conditions were born warriors, skilled in bows and horses, good at warfare, and not afraid of hardship.

However, the Central Plains army also has a huge advantage over the nomadic army, and it is basically not on the same level in terms of weapons and equipment or military quality. I want to be more professional and efficient than those nomads who are tribes-based, and the Central Plains army. One-on-one, two-on-two may not be their opponents, but once a formed army fights, the situation is completely reversed. War is not a group fight, and the one who wins the final victory must be the one with higher military literacy.

The invasion of the Central Plains by foreign races will inevitably be a time when the world will fall into chaos, and once the Central Plains Dynasty is unified, the ethnic minorities will rarely be able to take advantage. Many people take it for granted that cavalry must be stronger than infantry, which is very wrong. The nomads lacked weapons and equipment, and they never dared to attack the formed infantry regiments. However, these nomads are highly mobile, fighting if they can fight, and running away if they can't, and using the essence of guerrilla warfare to the fullest.

As there is a saying, it is always the air force that restrains the air force on the battlefield, and in the same way, the cavalry is also cavalry. The trained cavalry of the Central Plains Dynasty was not bad in combat effectiveness, and the Tang Army was one of the few strong armies in history, and the surrounding nomads surrendered one after another, so that Li Er later had the title of "Heavenly Khan".
