Chapter 139

occasion

A month and a half after leaving Nanhuo, King Zhenxi returned to Phoenix. Keep in mind

Entering the territory of Nanli, the materials brought back by the prince were received by other officials, and the king of Zhenxi hurriedly returned to Beijing with light clothes, and went to the palace after entering the city, and saw the little emperor Fuyuan and several other auxiliary ministers, and he returned to Hongbo Mansion in the evening.

Chu Rong and Xiao Fu are at home, the two daughters are still looking forward to the news of their sweethearts, knowing that the daughter is Mo Ruo's father, the prince is not willing to let them wait longer, and after returning home, he directly called the two daughters to him, and told the itinerary, especially about Song Yang, as it was, and this 'report' is much more detailed than just now in the palace.

To the prince's surprise, the two daughters were not surprised when they heard that Song Yang would not return to the army and would go the opposite way to attack Dayan with Nanhuo, but instead of being shocked, they looked at each other and smiled...... After getting along for so long, what kind of person and what kind of character the husband to be married is, the princess and the county lord can not understand it very well.

When Song Yang was doing something, the sisters couldn't guess what he would do next, but no matter how unexpected Song Yang was, it wouldn't be surprising in their eyes, and that was it.

However, when the king of Zhenxi mentioned Song Yang's fluttering words and owed a huge debt, the third girl who had just smiled her eyes like a crescent moon stared at her eyes suddenly: "Eighty thousand copies... Fifteen taels a copy... A total of 1,200,000 taels... Gold? ”

The sentence was divided into four paragraphs, and each word was squeezed out of the county lord's teeth. Xiao Zhu was still smiling, but in order to comfort the third sister, she reluctantly embarrassed her, nodded and agreed: "What a loser." ”

Now it is a family reunion, and Chu Rong and Xiao Fu's biological mothers are also present, among which Chu Rong's mother and princess Niangniang interjected with a smile and defended Song Yang: "This is not a loser. doesn't care about the family and the country, but dares to take responsibility and can take responsibility for the net worth of the sons, which is the true character of the marshal and the true character of the prince. ”

The praise of the princess named is Song Yang, but the praise that is not named is the prince of his own family, and the king of Zhenxi has also done similar things at the beginning, although the number is far inferior to Song Yang, but there is no difference in essence.

King Zhenxi laughed, and added: "It's not just Song Yang who owes it, I will guarantee it for him, and Song Yang will pay for it if he can't pay it." ”

As soon as the words came out, the princess couldn't laugh immediately.

At this time, suddenly Hongbowei reported that a finch book had arrived. The information that can be directly sent to the king of Zhenxi is naturally a big thing: news from the north of Dayan, Tan Guide has died.

There is an old saying in the Han family in China: If you are lucky, the ghost burns incense.

It is not difficult to explain the meaning from the literal point alone, if a person is lucky, nothing can be stopped, and even if the evil ghost meets a person with good luck, he can only burn incense and pray for blessings. Jing Tai thought deeply of this sentence, not to mention the ghost burning incense, it was simply Yama burning incense, and even the prince of Yama came to slap him and help him, and took Tan Guide away.

After Tan Guide's death, the rebels were scattered without a leader, and they were swept away by the Yan army in the next battle. At this point, the northern part of Dayan has completely settled down, and Tan's internal worries and dogs' external troubles have disappeared.

An hour after the news of the northern extermination of Tan Guide's rebels reached the palace, Jingtai passed on the holy decree, and the war in Yannan resumed, and the army that had been prepared for a long time immediately set out to attack Nanli.

The city wall is stained with blood, the beacon smoke obstructs the eyes, the sound of killing in front of the broken bridge is shocking, the male pass is broken after eleven days, but the advance of the Yan people is not smooth, there is a red city behind the broken bridge, the struggle here is more fierce than the broken bridge......

At about the time of the fall of the bridge, Nanhuo was besieging a city called 'Anjia' on the plateau, while Song Yang was sitting on the ground in the meditation room of the Tantric Temple in the center of Anjia City, holding a golden bowl and drinking butter tea in small sips.

In addition to the Song Yang house, there were four other people, two of whom sat opposite him, all of them were native of Tibet, an old Tantric monk, there was nothing peculiar about his clothes, but Tantric believers could see from the beads around his neck that the old monk was noble and a living Buddha; Another person's dress is much easier to identify, Zhou is rolled with gold wire, inlaid with precious stones, bright and compelling jewelry, at first glance is a big noble, even if the Tubo people love to dress up, ordinary rich people are not as grand as him

As for the two people behind Song Yang, they are all his old friends: Master Wuyu, Genting Living Buddha.

Song Yang put down the golden bowl, nodded to the Tubo nobles opposite, and said with a smile: "It's almost time, I should go, thank you Lord Motuo for your hospitality in the past few days." ”

Motuo is a vassal lord, this radius of hundreds of miles is his territory, although it is not as powerful as the Duolancheng family, but it is also considered a nobleman in the territory of Tubo, hearing this, the fat face is full of smiles, and he responded in half-baked Chinese: "Don't dare to be, if you really say thank you, it should also be Motuo to thank the Marquis of Changchun, and also thank Renle and Yunding, the two living Buddhas." ”

With that, Motuo stood up and bowed to Song Yang and the two living Buddhas, and by the way, he also bowed to Wuyu.

Not without fish, Motuo should indeed thank the other three for saving him from a military disaster, otherwise his territory would have been devastated by now. After Nanhuo entered the territory of Motuo, it still looked fierce and fierce on the surface, but everyone knew in their hearts that Nanhuo did not cause substantial damage here, but was just a feint, including the battle that was besieging Anjia outside, with a lot of thunder and little raindrops......

A while ago, the happy ceremony of the spirit child's ascension became a funeral, after the tragedy, Wuyu escaped from Rinka with the Genting Living Buddha, and then for a period of time, Genting was mourned like death, although the little living Buddha was not killed by his own hands, but it was indeed because of him and died, with the mercy of Genting, this is really a heavy blow.

However, the practice of the domain sect emphasizes direct questioning of the heart, in all fairness, Yunding is guilty but not wrong, and after a while, Yunding gradually recovered, but the means of self-suffering are much more violent than before.

Later, Tubo had been in turmoil, and Nanhuo had attacked the plateau, Yunding and Wuyu discussed, and the two monks no longer hid near Rinka, and set off to the south to join Songyang, where they successfully joined Nanhuo twenty days ago.

Seeing each other in the midst of the war, there is a sigh of embarrassment. Soon after, when Nanhuo was about to enter the territory of Motuo, the striker reported that a living Buddha who called himself 'Renle' had come alone to ask for an audience with the marshal.

The marshal is not something that can be seen when he meets, not to mention that there are countless living Buddhas of all sizes on the plateau, and this title is not necessarily so remarkable, but Rinka mentioned that he is an old friend with the fishless master of Miaoxiang auspiciously, and he is even more incompatible with the Yunding Living Buddha of the Yuzong, and the forward informed him of this.

It just so happened that the two masters he mentioned were in the army, and Song Yang verified that although Renle's statement was slightly exaggerated, it was also true, and Wuyu had a lot of contact with this person when he was traveling on the plateau in the early years, and Yunding's side did have a good friendship with Renle.

Yunding Living Buddha's friends on the plateau are counted on one hand, Renle is one of them, no need to ask, people who can be valued by Yunding, natural Buddhism is profound and knowledgeable, in fact, Renle is not the kind of 'false name' living Buddha, he has real power and status, and the feudal lord Motuo together to control this territory within a radius of hundreds of miles. When the Great Living Buddha Bo was married, he was very important to this person.

When Genting entered Yanziping to catch the princess, Renle helped the Great Living Buddha and Genting 'match', and the caravan that brought Genting into Nanli was also from the territory of Motuo.

The Living Buddha of Renle was brought to the Chinese army to explain his intentions, and it turned out that he was a lobbyist.

Counting it up, Renle and Motuo are the descendants of the previous Great Living Buddha Bojie, and after Bojie's death, Uda presided over the Chaitso Pagoda and began to focus on crowding out and suppressing them. If it weren't for the defeat of the southern invasion of Tubo, the invasion of the enemy in the south and the north passes, and the tragic death of the little living Buddha, a series of things that made Tubo a mess and left Wuda with no time to deal with them, now Renle and Motuo's forces are afraid that they have been robbed by Wuda, and it is difficult to say whether the two of them are still alive.

But even if they keep their net worth for the time being, the form of Renle and Motuo is not optimistic, the previous forces of the Great Living Buddha have either been destroyed, or they have taken refuge in Wuda or other groups, and now the several forces fighting in the Chaitso Tower, no matter who becomes the boss in the end, Renle and Motuo have not had a good life, and it is more and more important for them to preserve their strength.

Renle asked to see Song Yang, and he and Motuo prepared a generous gift, just asking Nanhuo to bypass their territory and not start a war. He also deliberately emphasized that Chaitso Tata had previously claimed that Nanli was the murderer of the Great Living Buddha Bojie, and he and Motuo did not believe it at all, and did not send troops to participate in the invasion of Nanli by Tibet. followed the Renle Living Buddha and made a reasonable and restrained analysis, explaining that Nanli would not get any benefit after Bo Jie's death, so why assassinate him if he had no motive.

If you look at it in normal times, Renle's request is simply a dream. The Southern Fire army detoured, not only to take a little more travel, but to put a rather powerful plateau armed force behind them, and when the Living Buddha came to deliver gold today, he swore an oath, but who can guarantee that they will not be treacherous tomorrow.

But it just so happened that the Genting Living Buddha was also in the army, so things were different. After the two Living Buddhas talked alone for a while, Yun Ding firmly told Song Yang Renle that he and Motuo were really unwilling to start a war with Song Yang, but they had no other place to go to now, unlike other feudal lords who could escape without fighting, so they could only stick to this place.

Although the heart and eye of the Genting Living Buddha are magical, they can't see through all the cause and effect, otherwise there will be no catastrophe of ascending, but the things he dares to be sure about will probably not be wrong.

It seems that he doesn't want to fight, why not Renle and Motuo? Song Yang didn't want to fight.

Now that it is the cold winter season, Nanhuo's march still seems to be smooth, and the killing Quartet is extremely majestic, and only Nanhuo himself knows that the pressure is much greater than before, and the speed of attrition has skyrocketed. And Motuo's strength is not bad, if you really want to fight, Nanhuo will definitely win, but the loss is unpredictable.

But no matter how amazing the loss is, if there is no Yunding as a guarantee, Song Yang must defeat the Motuo department: Motuo's territory is very close to Dayan, Song Yang wants to burn into Yantu in the south, and Motuo's territory is where his army turns.

Song Yang trusts Genting, Renle also trusts Genting, with such an intermediary, the negotiation between the two sides becomes much easier, and after several secret discussions, an agreement is reached.

Then Nanhuo feinted to attack the territory of Motuo, until not long ago, the army began to attack the main city of Anjia, in order to make Motuo feel at ease, Song Yang only brought a few henchmen into the city, and began to wait in peace, during which Song Yang also conveniently cured a son who had been seriously ill for many days...... Until today.

Calculating the time, the news of Dayan's war against Nanli should be spread to Nanhuo who was on an expedition at this time.

It is reasonable that Nanhuo will rush back immediately to save the wrapper, so Song Yang 'withdraws his troops', which seems to be very logical. In accordance with the prior agreement, Motuo sent a message to Chai Cuo Tata, saying that Nanhuo suddenly withdrew his troops and hurriedly returned to China.

Everyone thought that this army was gone, but in fact, Nanhuo just died down and continued to stay in the territory of Metuo, and began to lie dormant quietly...... At this point, Nanhuo has become a Nanli army that has returned to Nanli, should not exist on the plateau, is unlikely to appear in Tubo again, and is unlikely to enter the Yan realm from Tubo.

This was even better than Song Yang had expected in advance, because with the help of Motuo and Renle, Nanhuo successfully 'disappeared'.

If Chang Tingwei is still there, and he is still the important weapon of the Great Yan Prison State, Song Yang's small trick will not be able to hide it. What is the withdrawal? It was an army that hurried from the territory of Metuo all the way back to the territory of Nanli. Xie Fatzi's hidden stakes arranged in various places on the plateau will find that Nanhuo, which should have appeared on the way to withdraw troops, has not appeared, so it can be concluded that this team has not left and is still hiding in the territory of Motuo.

It's a pity that the current Wuyiwei is far worse than Chang Tingwei back then, Zhuge Xiaoyu's beard is not even completely covered in China, and he is unable to expand to the plateau, and Zhuge Xiaoyu is powerless to investigate what happened in Tubo, let alone investigate.

For a long time, Yan Guo's eyes and ears in Tubo have been Wuda, but now Wuda is overwhelmed by infighting, and it is a matter of course for Nanhuo to go back to save the country, so Nanhuo successfully 'disappeared'.

Assigned to the king of Zhenxi to escort a group of men and horses to transport materials, coupled with the later war losses, there are still 65,000 soldiers left in Nanhuo, and the battle is hard all the way, and when it is cold, the army stops and repairs well.

Regardless of what plans were left behind, for the time being, for the Tubo people who did not know the truth, the southern fire was finally extinguished, but the 'sacred fire' from the north was the opposite, the cold wind could not cover the horns of the Uighur warriors, and the continuous blizzard could not stop the advance of the desert iron hooves, and the Uighur army, after slowing down its offensive for a while, suddenly became aggressive again, and despite the severe cold resistance, it marched all the way from the northern plateau, and pointed its blade directly at the capital of Tibet, the Rinkha Shuchuan.

……

The war report about Tubo will be transmitted to Jingtai all the time, and the lights in the imperial study room of the Yan Palace often keep going all night, seeing that the opportunity to dominate the world is gradually revealed, and the emperor is extraordinarily diligent.

The news of Nanhuo's withdrawal Jingtai was thrown aside at a glance, he didn't care much about this team, they couldn't save Nanli when they went back, and they couldn't escape the end of destruction, but the news of the Uighurs' sudden all-out attack made Jingtai really interested......

"Pay attention to rest, I've been staying up late lately, and women have to change it three times a month, and they can only do it once." In the secret room of the harem, the national teacher put a cup of medicinal tea in front of his son and sat opposite him.

"Women are not interesting, but once a month is still a bit rare." Jingtai responded with a smile, and then turned back to the topic: "I have already sent an edict to Xiguan to let Zhou Jing prepare for war, and the day when they will kill the plateau is approaching." ”

Zhou Jing is the general of Yan State, and the future war on the plateau will be in charge of this person.

The national teacher looked at Jingtai with a smile in his eyes, and didn't say anything for the time being, just made a gesture to signal his son to continue.

"The Uighurs slowed down their offensive a while ago, and it can be seen that they are also preparing for us to send troops to intercept us." Jingtai's tone was steady: "The Uighurs are not fools, and it is not surprising that they should be wary of us. ”

"It was not until the onset of winter that the Uighur offensive became fierce again, and heavy reinforcements were brought in from the country, and the army covered all the way, destroyed the city and the fortress unstoppable, and went straight to Rinkha."

"We Yan people are not comfortable with the cold, so the Uighur Khan chose to launch a fierce attack in winter, but winter is only a few months, and sooner or later it will pass, so the Uighurs will not care about casualties but rush forward... It is not difficult to guess that they want to end the fighting on the plateau before the beginning of spring, at least to take down the Rinkha Shuchuan. This is a good calculation, and when we fight for the sky, we do suffer. I've heard that in the desert, it doesn't snow in winter, but the cold is just as cold as the plateau. When it comes to cold resistance, the Uighurs are stronger than us. At the present rate of the Uighur march, it would be as short as a month or as long as 50 days, and they would reach the city of Rinkha. ”

At this point, Jingtai has shut down, and the rest of the things don't need to be said anymore, the national teacher can completely understand...... The next thing was simply arranged by the national teacher: one was in the military road, and the other was in the Rinkha garrison.

Bingdao was prepared for the Yan army.

According to common sense, when the Yan army entered the plateau, it was not the Uighurs who first clashed with them, but the feudal lords along the way. However, the national teacher had already prepared, and before Bo Jie's death, he studied for this military path for an unknown amount of time. After Bojie's death, Uda presided over the area of the feudal lord's territory in the eastern part of the plateau, and made some adjustments, only a few minor adjustments. This kind of thing is normal, the old emperor is dead, the new master is in power, and there will always be some new distribution of interests, but after these trivial adjustments, there is a winding line quietly embedded in the current Tibetan territory: along this road, it will not pass through the territory of any big feudal lord, and it will all pass by the edge of their fiefdoms.

In the western part of Tibet, there were originally permanent heavy troops to guard against the Yan people, and when they were there, this military route was useless at all, but now these troops were all transferred to the north to resist the Uighurs, and the vassal lords all had the intention of maintaining their strength, and no one would take the initiative to jump out at this time to fight the passing Yan soldiers.

As for the Rinkha garrison, it was even simpler, the Chaitso Tata was indeed in disarray, but the soldiers stationed near Rinkha would still obey the orders of Uda when dealing with foreign invaders, and when the Uighur army arrived, the troops would gradually shrink and retreat into the city to hold on.

Rinka's battle would have been much more difficult than the Uighurs had anticipated; And the Yan army not only dared to send troops in the cold winter, but also arrived at Rinka much faster than expected, so the time that Jingtai had been waiting for gradually revealed:

When the desert soldiers slaughtered Rinka, stormed the holy city, and suffered heavy casualties in both miles, the Yan army was killed, and the city should be combined with the outside world, and the Uighur expeditionary force would be severely damaged.
