Zuo Shaoyang had been looking forward to the Tang Dynasty army taking the opportunity to send troops, but the situation of being attacked from both sides did not appear. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Although the Tibetan army was dispatched and concentrated in Zhangxiong to attack the mandala, and the east was empty, Li Shimin did not know what to think about, and never took the opportunity to send troops to occupy the eastern countries. As a result, Zuo Shaoyang's mandala could only face the attacks of all the armies of the entire Tubo and even the entire Western Regions alone!

The Tibetan army even put a bounty on it, and it was possible to slaughter the city for seven days!

It's a crazy order, but it's also the most appealing one! The abundance of Gangren Buche Mandala is well-known throughout the Western Regions. Without the drive of the Tibetan army, the other teams that served as the vanguard had already played a fateful siege.

The ferocity of the fighting has reached the point of no return. There were heavy casualties among the soldiers and civilians in the city. However, the 100,000 soldiers and civilians in the city had already made up their minds to protect their homes, and the front fell, and the back stepped on the corpses and continued to go up. Repelled the strong attacks of the Tibetan coalition army again and again.

The siege lasted for half a year, and the Tibetan coalition still failed to capture the mandala!

At this time, the battle situation was in sight, which was conducive to the development of Zuo Shaoyang's direction. - Winter is coming!

The harsh winter made the already tall and sturdy walls of the mandala even more solid and difficult to climb. The cold wind was bitter, the snowflakes were fluttering, and the 200,000 troops of the Tubo coalition army were camped outside the city. At the same time, the city had already been stocked with food and grass, and the soldiers and civilians were very rich, and they wore fur coats and roasted the fire at the head of the city, laughing at the trembling siege coalition army below.

Zuo Shaoyang happily cheered up the whole city: "The harsh winter of Gangren Buche lasted for more than half a year, and Tubo would be dragged down if he didn't tire himself to death in this half year!" At that time, the time for a counteroffensive came. ”

The fighting spirit of the whole city was high, waiting for the moment when the Tubo coalition army was defeated.

Two months later, the Tibetan army could no longer hold out in the cold winter. So, Tubo sent an envoy to see Zuo Shaoyang. The envoy handed over a handwritten letter from Songtsen Gampo to Zuo Shaoyang.

Although the battle lasted for so long, Zuo Shaoyang had not seen Songtsen Gampo yet, but he received his letter first. I was amazed. The letter was written in bear-like script, followed by a Chinese translation, which was supposed to have been translated by a member of his army.

This is a letter of persuasion, as long as Zuo Shaoyang surrenders, Songtsen Gampo canonizes Zuo Shaoyang as the Dharma King of Gangren Buche.

Zuo Shaoyang replied with a pen that he could call off the army, but the Tubo army must all be returned, and from then on the two families became brotherly states and did not invade each other, otherwise, there would only be a bloody battle to the end.

Zuo Shaoyang expected that Tubo would not agree, and sure enough, the Tubo coalition army launched a new round of offensive, but it was still in vain, and hundreds of corpses were added.

The fighting continued for another month, and Songtsen Gampo again proposed peace. Zuo Shaoyang's army also suffered heavy losses, and the armistice was naturally a good thing for him, so he agreed.

After some bargaining, an armistice agreement was finally reached, and Gangren Buche Mandala joined Tibet as a subject state of Tibet, but the Mandala retained its own army, and the Tubo army was not allowed to enter the land within a radius of 500 li centered on the mandala, and Tubo did not levy any taxes and miscellaneous labor to the mandala.

As a result, the mandala has become a country within a country in Tibet, but on the surface, Songtsen Gampo has unified the entire Western Regions. Both sides are in the box, which can be described as a win-win situation.

After the withdrawal of the Tibetan army, the whole city was boiling, and the mandala's own income was used by itself, which was too beneficial to the development of the mandala.

The Xiangxiong Kingdom has perished, the original altar owner no longer exists, the altar owner left the mandala with his family, and the military and political power of the mandala was all concentrated in the hands of Zuo Shaoyang.

Zuo Shaoyang was wary of Tibet, and immediately built beacon towers and sentry posts on the 500-mile border under his jurisdiction, and established a post station system in various places to maintain a high degree of vigilance. At the same time, we will continue to recruit troops and expand the size of the regular army.

Now that the mandala is rich, it is easy to do things with money, and five years later, the city defense and army of the mandala have made a qualitative leap compared with before.

In the past five years, Songtsen Gampo has kept his promise and has not made any trouble with the mandala, perhaps because he is afraid of the strong military strength and solid defense of the mandala, or maybe he has found that it is better to let Zuo Shaoyang develop the mandala than to conquer the mandala, but to profit more from it.

Since then, trade between Tibet and Mandala has risen dramatically, and to use a modern phrase, the two sides have become each other's most important trading partners.

Seeing that the world is peaceful, the people of the mandala live and work in peace and contentment, the Jerjiao has developed and grown, the congregation has hundreds of people, and the army construction has been unprecedentedly developed.

After the world was peaceful, Zuo Shaoyang focused on his children's education.

The two children born to him by Sang Xiaomei and Bai Zhihan have slowly grown up. When they were enlightened at the age of four, Bai Zhihan asked Zuo Shaoyang to give them a scientific name. Zuo Shaoyang said: "Their characters are 'Wen', and the three of them were born under this sacred mountain, and the last word is named after 'snow and mountain' respectively." ”

So, Bai Zhihan's daughter is called Zuo Wenxue, and Miao Peilan's son is called Zuo Wenshan.

Zuo Shaoyang carefully taught this son and daughter, especially the youngest son born by Miao Peilan, who was gifted and intelligent, and had a strong interest in medicine.

Zuo Shaoyang also loves this youngest son Zuo Wenshan, and he can be said to have taught him everything. Under his careful teaching, at the age of ten, he was already able to read and diagnose people. Very much appreciated by Zuo Shaoyang.

Bai Zhihan's daughter is too pampered, Bai Zhihan is born to dote on children, so this daughter is very naughty, wild like a boy, and follows Dalongxin and them all day long. Da Longxin is grateful to Zuo Shaoyang, and he also taught this girl, she has practiced hard since she was a child, and when she is ten years old, not to mention a boy of the same age, she is an ordinary adult samurai, and three or five are not her opponents.

On this day, Zuo Shaoyang convened a meeting of the elders of the Jer'er Sect, the Dharma Protector, and the senior generals of the army. announced one thing, that is, he was going to leave the mandala and return to Datang to visit relatives, and at the same time travel the world.

Zuo Shaoyang not only built the mandala into a highly developed handicraft industry, prosperous and rich city, but also led the mandala to fight against Tibet and kept the fruits of labor, so his prestige among the military and civilians in the mandala is very high, and now everyone is very sad to hear that he is leaving. According to the rules of the Jerjiao religion, after serving as the king for ten years, he can go out of the city and travel the world, so there is no reason to stop Zuo Shaoyang from going back. And if you think about it, you can understand that after fifteen years away from home, it's time to go back and see.

Xue Wanzhu also proposed to go back to Datang with Zuo Shaoyang, and Zuo Shaoyang saw that he was old and indeed inappropriate to be here anymore, so he agreed. Daronsin was appointed as the acting Dharma King of the Jerjiao religion, and Xue Wanzhuan was appointed as the deputy commander of the military.

In the past fifteen years, the economy of the mandala has developed rapidly, and all the money that Zuo Shaoyang sold to the people on credit has already been returned to him, and all of them have been replaced with valuable gems for the convenience of carrying.

On the day of departure, the whole city came to see them off, and the black press knelt down for miles away.

Zuo Shaoyang's family was moved to tears, Zuo Shaoyang drank next to each other, only taking a small sip everywhere, Rao was so, only half smaller, he was already so drunk that his tongue was knotted and he couldn't stand steadily. But he still insisted on drinking, and in the end, he got drunk and put it in the car to leave the mandala.

Under the protection of Xue Wanzhu's army, and the entire Western Regions has been unified, Zuo Shaoyang's team has been going smoothly all the way.

A few months later, they entered the Tang Dynasty, and then Xue Wanzhu took people back to the capital, and Zuo Shaoyang's family returned to their hometown of Hezhou after many years of absence.

This has been the twenty-third year of Zhenguan!

It has been twenty-one years since Zuo Shaoyang crossed over to Datang, and his eldest son is already as tall as him.

The family is finally reunited, which is really sad and joyful. The two sons and daughters born in the Western Regions were a little embarrassed to see their brothers and sisters.

Qiao Qiao'er and Sang Xiaomei hugged Zuo Shaoyang and cried like tears, and the two of them already had some gray hair on their sideburns, which was the result of lovesickness.

Zuo Shaoyang had mixed feelings, hugged Qiao Qiao'er and Sang Xiaomei, and said to his gray-haired parents and sister-in-law: "From now on, even if the sky falls, I won't leave you!" ”

The family nodded frequently, shedding tears of joy.

It's just that what puzzles the family is that Zuo Shaoyang's appearance is similar to that of twenty years ago, with neither wrinkles nor a single white hair. Of course, like a man in the Tang Dynasty, he has a beard, which is swarthy and shiny.

Only Zuo Shaoyang knows that this is because he has been unremittingly cultivating his senior brother Professor Sun Simiao's return to emptiness and vomiting for the past 20 years, which is the supreme health preservation technique of Taoism. Everyone smiled and said that if it goes on like this, in another ten or twenty years, Zuo Shaoyang will be younger than his son.

The news of Dr. Zuo's return immediately spread throughout Hezhou, and many people came to see him. The family is full of guests.

Zuo Shaoyang left his father Zuo Gui's medical book, Zuo Gui's medical skills have been improved by a big step, he is now a well-known doctor, because Zuo Shaoyang has been away for fifteen years, many people only know that the old Zuo Lang's medical skills are like gods, but they don't know that Xiao Zuo Lang is really powerful.

Ni's mother has passed away, and Dr. Ni is still continuing to see a doctor, but her gray hair has turned white, and she heard that Zuo Shaoyang is back, so she also rushed to visit.

This bustle lasted for more than a month, and then it gradually returned to calm.

However, Zuo Shaoyang was destined to be a person who could not be idle, and two months after he returned to Hezhou, the imperial court came, and the emperor Li Shimin sent him. It was accompanied by the history of Hezhou Thorn.

This Qincha is Zuo Shaoyang's old acquaintance Luo Gonggong.

Fifteen years later, Luo's father-in-law's back was also a little hunched, and his eyes were a little dazzled, so he didn't care about greetings, so he pulled Zuo Shaoyang to the study, closed the door and talked.

Zuo Shaoyang knew that it was not a good thing and looked at him.

Gonggong Luo looked at Zuo Shaoyang carefully for a long time before he smiled and said: "Doctor Zuo learned the art of immortality from Old Doctor Sun, and sure enough, fifteen years have passed, and Doctor Zuo is now forty years old, but he is still as young as a twenty-year-old young man, and he is not old at all." What a joy! ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled: "It's nothing. ”

Grandpa Luo glared and said, "The art of immortality is nothing?" Is there anything more exciting in the world than this spell? To tell you the truth, brother of the divine doctor, one of the purposes of the emperor sending us this time is to invite the divine doctor to Beijing and teach the emperor the art of immortality. Huh"

Zuo Shaoyang smiled: "This spell was taught by my senior brother Sun Simiao, he has been with the emperor for many years, and he must have taught everything he can teach." Where else do I have anything to teach. ”

Gonggong Luo shook his head: "The divine doctor doesn't have to be modest, the emperor knows that the old divine doctor Sun has a special spell that can live forever." Doctor Sun relied on this kind of miraculous medical skills, and at the age of eighty or ninety, he still had to have dark hair and a healthy body like a young man. Now that Doctor Zuo is forty years old, he is still the same as he is twenty years old, and he has obviously obtained the miraculous skill of Old Doctor Sun. The emperor hopes that the divine doctor will not hesitate to give advice. ”

Only Sun Simiao and himself know about the technique of returning to the void, and it is impossible for others to know it. So Zuo Shaoyang refused to admit it, shook his head and said: "My father-in-law said that I laughed, if I had this kind of spell, then I would be unhappy to die." I learned the Tao technique from my senior brother, who has been in the palace for so long, and should have taught the emperor all the health preservation techniques. I really don't have anything to teach. ”

"The divine doctor doesn't need to hide it, Old Doctor Sun has already told the emperor before......"

Zuo Shaoyang said happily: "Have you seen my senior brother?" Where is he? Is it in the capital? ”

Luo Gong said fairly: "In the capital, but I have already left." It was he who told the emperor that he had a magical spell that could delay aging and even immortality. It's just that this magic skill is a single line. Because he has already taught it to you, he can no longer pass it on to others, and if the emperor wants to learn this spell, he can only ask you to learn it. He couldn't teach. That's why the emperor asked our family to come to the divine doctor. ”

Zuo Shaoyang was stunned for a moment, Luo Gonggong was able to say a single spell, which was enough to prove that these words were indeed said by Sun Simiao. But I don't know why Sun Simiao told the emperor about this. He asked, "Where did my brother go?" ”

"Traveling all over the world, going around the doctor." Gonggong Luo sighed and said, "The emperor is seriously ill, and he searched for many ways to find Old Doctor Sun. Doctor Sun learned that the emperor had decreed that you were innocent fifteen years ago, and that you had gone to the Western Regions. Knowing that the emperor was seriously ill, he agreed to go to Beijing to see the emperor. However, before leaving, Doctor Sun told the emperor that he had a magical spell that could prolong life and even immortality, but it had been passed down to you in a single line, and this spell might help delay the emperor's illness. Only then did the emperor know that there was such a magical spell. ”

Zuo Shaoyang was stunned, thinking that Sun Simiao told the emperor about this, and he must have hoped that Li Shimin, the Ming Jun, could live longer, because this spell is a single line, he has already taught himself, so he can't teach it to the emperor, and wants to let himself teach the spell to the emperor and help him prolong his life. So that the people in the world can enjoy some more years of happiness and health. This is the result of Sun Simiao's compassion for the common people. However, Sun Simiao didn't know that in history, Li Shimin died this year. This kind of spell may not be able to prolong his life.
