Cen Shen deliberately flaunted his knowledge, and said with a smile: "More than 100 years ago, this Xiangxiong was a big country of the Qiang people, and he married Tubo for generations, and he was a relative of Tubo. During the Zhenguan period, he fought Tuyuhun with the Tubo coalition soldiers. In order to win over Zhangxiong, he married his sister Saimaga to King Zhangxiong as the princess. ”

"Saimaga went to the capital of the king of Zhangzhung, but he was not favored by the king of Zhangzhung. Three years later, he was disheartened and left the royal capital to live by the Great Lake. After the abandonment of the sect sent a messenger to greet his sister, Saimaga expressed his gratitude to the envoy, sang a song to the envoy, and asked the envoy to bring a gift to his brother to abandon the sect and bring a gift, a woman's hat and a precious turquoise necklace. ”

The messenger returned to the Logos, sang the song before the abandonment of the sect and brought out the two gifts. Abandon Zong Langzan understood what his sister meant, and immediately sent troops to attack Zhangxiong, defeated the king of Zhangxiong, Li Mixia, and took away all the land and people of Zhangxiong. Li Mixia was imprisoned for seven years by the lake where Saimaga once lived, and was finally executed by the abandonment of the sect. ”

Cen Shen is extremely knowledgeable, and he knows the most miscellaneous anecdotes. Du Huan was also interested, and asked, "Master, how did the renunciation of the sect know what his sister meant?" What about women's hats and turquoise necklaces? ”

Ma Ling said with a smile: "Song is a signal to send troops to raise trouble. A woman's hat represents cowardice, and a turquoise necklace is only qualified for heroes. The Tibetan princess Saimaga told her brother that if she didn't have the guts, she and a cowardly woman should wear a woman's hat, and if she had the courage to send troops to save her, she would be a true hero and qualified to wear a precious turquoise necklace. ”

"I see." Du Huan nodded.

Cen Shen looked at Ma Lan with a strange expression: "General, have you heard of this anecdote?" ”

Ma Lan smiled and nodded: "When a certain family was wandering in Chang'an, they read some miscellaneous books very much, and they also knew this interesting story. ”

Duan Xiushi said with a smile: "It's really a pity that this Xiangxiong King Li Mixia lost his country because of a woman!" ”

Ma Ling shook his head and said, "Definitely." The side of the couch does not allow others to snore! It is a matter of time before the abandonment of the sect wants to unify all the Qiang tribes and annex Zhangxiong. Even if King Zhang-zhung is good to his sister, he will still be destroyed. ”

Cen Shen's eyes flashed, clapped his hands and smiled: "How can others snore on the side of the couch!" That's a great statement! This sentence should have been heard by the general when he wandered Chang'an, right? ”

Ma Lan twitched the corners of his mouth, why didn't he pay attention to Zhao Guangyi's words, and nodded with a dry smile: "That's right." ”

Du Huan said with a smile: "The general's words are very true, Tubo is strong and Xiangxiong is weak, and Zhangxiong has no foreign aid, and it is a matter of time before it is annexed." Counting the reason for Zhangxiong's destruction of the country on the snubbing of the Tubo princess is probably just the Tubo people's own rhetoric. It's just that Zhangxiong has been annexed by Tubo for more than 100 years, and no one knows how loud this signboard of Li Mixia's descendants is, and they don't know how much role it can play. ”

Ma Ling said: "The signboard is just a signboard, don't expect too much, how can you play the banner of the Xiangxiong King and want the Tubo people to return to the wind?" The most important thing is strength, we just need a signboard at the moment, so as not to become famous. ”

"The Qiang people originally believed in Bon, and Princess Wencheng brought Buddhism after entering Tibet, and now the two religions are fighting more and more fiercely in Tibet, which can be said to be the same as fire and water, and even the nobles with the Dongdai of Tubo are also divided into two factions, and Zampu can barely be suppressed. We set foot in Qiangtang under the sign of King Xiangxiong, as long as we stir up the situation even more chaotic, and do not expect to destroy the country in one fell swoop. ”

"Tubo has been a country for a hundred years, and it has its own way of survival, and it is impossible to destroy Tubo in a year and a half, I just want to find a foothold for my Tang Dynasty in Qiangtang, which is the only thing I can do, and the rest of the things depend on you and the old bald donkey. Almost seventy years old can still have children, this flower monk is in good health, a certain family may not be like him in the future. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, Duan Xiushi coughed lightly, and said in a deep voice: "The general can rest assured, opening up the territory is what the general is good at, and after gaining a foothold on the plateau, it is the time for my generation to contribute." I couldn't gain a firm foothold on the plateau before, and I was extremely unfamiliar with the situation in the plateau, and I couldn't show my great ability. If you can march into the plateau in the name of King Zhangxiong, the situation will be different. However, although Tubo and the Tang Dynasty have a feud, they still have a nominal friendship with their nephews and uncles. The general should still present the imperial court, and it is not too late to do it when the imperial court's will arrives. ”

Several people looked at each other when they heard this, and their expressions became strange. Ma Ling frowned and said: "Cheng Gong, if the princes of the court and the central government disagree, what should I do?" ”

Duan Xiushi said: "The princes of the court and the central government are not all corpse vegetarians, so they may not agree. When today's Zi Shengming naturally understands that this matter is beneficial and harmless to my Datang, as long as the Son of Heaven makes up his mind, we can take orders. ”

Cen Shen shook his head and said, "No." The Son of Heaven is Shengming, but he doesn't know much about the situation in Anxi. Now it is an eventful autumn, first An Lushan in the north was defeated in Tianmen Ridge, and Li Xianzhong, the deputy envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, betrayed Mobei, Jiannan Road, Nanzhao Wang Ge Luofeng defeated Xianyu Zhongtong and marched one after another, and the people of Shu have asked Jiannan Jiedu to make Yang Guozhong personally perform his duties. At this time, the Son of Heaven may not be willing to let us make trouble, and we must not give up this opportunity. If you don't act cheaply, you will regret it in the future. ”

Du Huan also nodded and said, "The master is right. We want to make a contribution, and this is the time. The opportunity must not be lost, and the loss will not come, Anxi is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, if everything is tomorrow, how can we do things? As long as we are loyal to the country, why not act cheaply! ”

Ma Lan also looked at Duan Xiushi, and really didn't want this brainless guy to continue to persevere.

What Cen Shen said is very reasonable, and it is very likely that Chang'an will not agree. After all, Anxi is not as good as Longyou, the land of the source of the river is the trouble of the Tang Dynasty, but Anxi's side is not so important. No one will object to Ge Shuhan's march into Heyuan, and many people must think that he is in danger.

If the Tang Dynasty wants to enter the river, it must firmly grasp the road leading to the river at the southern foot of the Green Mountain, if it can control the hometown of Zhangxiong, it will remove the threat of Tubo attacking the big and small Bolu and the secret country to the west, and the Tang Iron Cavalry can step into the Turan lowland through the southern foot of the Green Mountains at any time. In addition, you can use Zhangxiong's hometown as the foundation to participate in the affairs of Tibet, and divide and win over the leaders of various Dongdai, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Even if there is no signboard of Li Mixia's descendants, this matter is already in Ma Lan's plan, not to mention that now there are more Li Mixia's descendants and Kongjian old bald donkey. With such a good hand, how can you be willing not to stir up a little wind and rain on the plateau?

"If Duan Junzi must report to Chang'an, he will have to imprison him first." Ma Lan thought to himself.

Although the moral gentleman is reassuring, it is not good. Everyone looked at Duan Xiushi, waiting for his answer.

Duan Xiushi's face was a little gloomy, he frowned and thought for a long time, and finally sighed.

"I can agree not to write a chapter to report to Chang'an, but if Doctor Feng wants to report this matter, the general must not stop him."

"Okay, it's a deal!" Ma Lan let out a long breath and nodded with a smile.

Now is different from the past, Feng Changqing has now completely stood on his side.

Since defeating Persian Nu in the Battle of Shule North, the haze in Feng Changqing's heart caused by the Battle of Talas has long been swept away, and now he is more and more inclined to the Anxi Army to cross the Green Mountain again and avenge the Battle of Talas.

It can be said that as long as it is beneficial for the Tang Dynasty to open a military town in the river, Feng Changqing will not disagree at all. After getting rid of the old-fashioned Duan Junzi, there is no problem on Feng Changqing's side at all.

Duan Xiushi may not have understood this, he has already given in his heart, he just needs to go down a step. Since he said this, there would be no such thing as secretly reporting it, and Ma Lu did not have the slightest doubt about this guy's character.

Cen Shen said with a smile: "In this matter, the flower monk Kongjian is a key, the general should not beat him to death, otherwise it will be troublesome." ”

"Don't worry, Monk Hua is a practitioner, how can an old man who is sixty or seventy years old and can still play with women with a gun on a horse, how can he die so easily?"

Everyone laughed, and Ma Ling smiled and continued: "The descendants of King Xiangxiong have gone down the mountain, we will take the flower monk to greet him, and we will partner in the future. ”

……

The road over the sacred mountain has been blocked by the Tang army, and they can only wait for death in the snow-capped mountain, and the Qiang women and children can only return the same way, and if they want to return to the southern mountain of Khotan, they must come out of the mountain pass.

Ma Lan came to the mountain pass with several hundred cavalry and waited for the descendants of King Zhangzhung to come down.

Kongjian couldn't ride a horse at all, so he could only lie on the horse's back. With excitement in his heart, the old fellow's eyes were extremely bright.

Ma Luan's words before were like thunder, which completely shocked his soul. The skills he learned in Chang'an were not of much use after coming to Anxi, and now he finally waited for the time to show his ambitions.

Occupy the land of Zhangzhung and restore the kingdom of King Zhangxiong, and then he can freely spread the Dharma on the land of King Zhangzhung.

This was originally a luxury in his heart, but now Anxi Jun wants to help him realize this wish.

He was originally a Han monk and was naturally loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Ma Lan asked him to swear to be loyal to the Son of Heaven forever, and he happily agreed.

His child will become King Zhangxiong, a King of Zhangxiong who is half Han Chinese. Although it is only symbolic, Kumi does not care. For him, children are far less important than spreading the Dharma.

As for Ma Luan's statement that Zhangxiong's hometown is where Bon is deeply rooted, the remnants of Zhangxiong's people converted to the Buddha, but the Qiang people in Zhangxiong's hometown may not be willing to believe it, and Kongjian does not care.

The Bon is not a follower of Hu Da, far from being so religious, he has learned too many methods in Chang'an, and he is extremely confident in the spread of Buddhism on the plateau.

"One day, the Tibetan people will prostrate under the Buddha's seat. At that time, I will also be recorded in the annals of history. Sorumi reluctantly raised his head and looked at Yamaguchi, thinking to himself.
