Chapter 23: Lianyunbao

Half a distance to the south of the Telmanchuan River, there is a city, which is the important place of Tibet in the Western Regions, Lianyunbao (now the southern source of the Penchi River in northeastern Afghanistan, Langar).

Lianyunbao is not big, the radius is only three or two miles, only one or two thousand troops can be stationed, its city is very rough construction, compared with the city of the Tang Dynasty, there is a difference between the night.

Tibet is a slave state on the Tibetan Plateau, and its rise is due to Songtsen Gampo. Songtsen Gampo was a figure in the Taizong period of the Tang Dynasty, less than a hundred years from now, that is to say, less than a hundred years after the rise of Tibet.

Before Songtsen Gampo, Tibet did not even have a written language, but Songtsen Gampo sent people to study in Kashmir, and then founded the Tibetan script, which made Tibet embark on the road of civilization.

Despite this, because its time is too short and its heritage is too poor, it is too far from the accumulation of thousands of years of civilization in China.

In addition, Tibet is located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the land is barren and the people are poor, the national strength is extremely weak, and the science and technology are even less developed, so it is impossible to have a strong city.

Not to mention that compared with the cities in the interior of the Tang Dynasty, even compared with Shule, even Yunbao is too far behind.

However, the terrain of Lianyunbao is very dangerous, with mountains in the south and Telmanchuan in the north, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. More importantly, Tubo is fifteen miles south of Lianyunbao City, and a military village is built on the mountain, and thousands of Tubo troops are stationed, echoing Lianyunbao. Once Lianyunbao is attacked, the Tibetan army here can be reinforced in time.

The reason why Tubo divided the army here into two places is because Lianyunbao is too small to accommodate so many troops.

In Lianyunbao City, there are not many houses, and some are tents. The Tibetan people are suitable for tents, but do not like houses, because there are not many houses built in the city.

Hundreds of tabernacles are clustered in the east and west, and there is no order, and it is very chaotic. Tibet did not have strict laws and was not good at organization and management, which led to this result.

The ground in the city is potholed, and at first glance, it looks like a city like a dirt road in the modern countryside. There is no neatness of the city at all, there is stagnant water, and there is yak and horse dung, one in the east and one in the west, which looks no different from the cattle pen.

There is one of the largest tents, which is the handsome tent of the Tibetan general Gesang Suocho. Gesang Suo is eight feet tall, quite handsome, and has sun-colored skin, which is the characteristic skin of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

At this time, Gesang Suo did not know that the Tang army had crossed the Telman River and entered Lianyunbao, and he gathered his command and was having fun.

There were a lot of cases in the handsome tent, and more than a dozen subordinates were drinking with him and enjoying singing and dancing.

The wine is the barley wine of Tibet, the meat is the yak meat of Tibet, and the beauty is the beauty of Xiaobolu.

Gesang Suo, holding a small silver knife in his right hand, cut off a piece of yak meat, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it in a big gulp. Picking up the wine glass, she took a sip of barley wine, smacking her lips beautifully, enjoying it very much, and her eyes narrowed.

The five little Bolu beauties were dressed in naked clothes, singing and dancing hard, and fine sweat was oozing from their delicate faces.

Although they work hard, Gesanso has little interest in them and loves to ignore them. Little Bolu is a small country and has a small population, so it is really difficult to find beautiful women. The so-called beauty is just a tall one among the short and a beautiful one among the ugly girls, not a real beauty.

If it weren't for the fact that the little Bolu King Su was so embarrassed by the defeat, Gesang Suo wouldn't even have the interest to take them in.

"That's it! All right! Go down! But Gesang Suo was very impatient, waved at the five beauties, as if chasing flies, and muttered to himself: "With your appearance, it can't arouse my interest." Uh, getting drunk that night doesn't count! ”

The five beauties knew that Gesang Suo was not interested in them, and did not dare to stay longer, and after giving a salute, they left quickly.

"In this hellish place, there is not even a beautiful woman, what a hell of a life!" Gesang So, however, cursed.

"General, you should play to Zampu and send us to defend the Stone Castle City." One of his subordinates flattered him and said: "The Great Tubo sits on the Stone Castle City, and the Tang people have no way to bring it to us, and the warriors of the Great Tubo can enter the land of Hehuang at any time to plunder, and from time to time they can grab beautiful beauties." ”

"Yes!" When it came to the beauties of the Tang Dynasty, more than a dozen Tubo generals were shining in their eyes, and their saliva flowed out: "Princess Wencheng is so beautiful, her mother is the world, although the women of the Tang Dynasty are not as good, they are not much different." Starting from Stone Castle City, you want to get a beauty, and you can get nine out of ten. ”

The stone castle city was originally built by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, but it fell into the hands of Tubo at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. The terrain of the stone fort city is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Tubo sits on the stone fort, advancing and retreating freely, threatening the land of the river.

Because of the convenience of the stone castle city in hand, the Tibetans plundered the land of the river very frequently, and gained a lot, which is one of the few beautiful things in Tibet.

As soon as this matter was mentioned, the Tibetan generals were endless, and some people even said that they would enter Chang'an and force the Tang Dynasty to surrender.

"General Yu, the Tang Army is here! The Tang Army is coming! ”

Just as they were dreaming, they saw a guard rush in in a panic, and shouted from a distance, with a voice like thunder, as if others did not know.

"The Tang Army is here?" Gesang Suo was stunned for a moment, then looked up to the sky and laughed: "Haha! You're saying this funny, when you float a big glass! Picking up the wine glass, he drank a glass of barley wine, smacking his lips and smiling.

If you want him to believe that the Tang Army is coming, it is not difficult, but it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky!

First, because Lianyunbao is located in the lofty mountains of the Green Mountains, the Tang army wants to attack Lianyunbao, and there are too many difficulties to overcome, which are unimaginable.

Second, because the Telman River was flooding and could not cross the river, how could the Tang army come to attack Lianyunbao?

Although Gesang Suo did not go to Telmanchuan, with his understanding of this place, he had absolute confidence that it was impossible for the Tang army to cross Telmanchuan.

This is a hundred thousand urgent military information, but Gesang Suo actually regarded it as a joke, as a wine accompaniment, and the guards almost fell to the ground.

However, this matter was not over, but Gesang Suo poured a glass of barley wine full, with a smile on his face, beckoned to the guard, and said, "Come!" You say this funny, in this place where birds don't, it's rare to hear such a funny joke, you have made a meritorious service, and you will be rewarded with a glass of wine! ”

"Porphy!"

The guards fell to the ground and fainted.

Gesanso's words were too shocking.

"General Yu, the Tang army has arrived in the city!"

Gesang Suo glanced at the guard who had fainted on the ground, grinned disdainfully, and was about to count it, when another guard rushed in in a panic and shouted from afar.

"This funny story has already been said, you dare to pick up people's teeth and wisdom, and you should be punished! Come on, pull it down, and hit the ten military sticks! Gesang So's face was blank, and he let out a deep sigh, like a thunderclap.

"Goo!"

This personal guard is very depressed, and the real military situation actually wants to punish the crime, what kind of truth is this? He really couldn't bear the blow, so he simply fainted.

"Long live Datang!"

Gesang Suo looked coldly at the guards who fell to the ground, and was about to give the order to be executed, but at this moment, the battle horn of the Tang army rose to the sky, shocking the sky!

"Boom!"

But the wine glass in Gesang So's hand smashed to the ground, shattering, and the barley wine splashed everywhere.
