At the end of the previous chapter, the news was transmitted to "Catch and Drink", not "Bohai", and the hand slipped and made a mistake, forgive me. In addition, thank you for the tip ^_^

……

Revenge is such a thing, naturally, the sooner the better. According to Ma Lan's previous temperament, he naturally wanted to immediately wave his army to kill him, but now that his whole person has become peaceful, he is not so impatient, but this revenge must be avenged as soon as possible, and the captured Han Min must also be rescued as soon as possible.

However, after all, the distance is too far, and the new army of Anxi is here, and it is too late to rush over, so it can only wait until the second year of Zhide. Standing still for the time being, not only because his state of mind has become calm now, but also because there is more than this one thing that has happened recently.

Another important thing came from the Qiangtang, where the outstanding Zhangxiong King Li Gongpo died.

King Zhangzhung was also the leader of Bon, and when King Zhangzhung died, a new King Zhangzhung had to succeed him. And the Zhangxiong king Li Gongpo had no heirs, only a daughter who was like a flower and jade, and this daughter gave birth to a son Dorje with the flower monk Kongjian, and Li Gongpo died, and the little Dorje became the legal heir of the Zhangxiong king.

After the first battle of Qiangtang, Dorje, the future heir of the Zhangzhung Kingdom, had recognized Ma Ling as his father-in-law, and came to Anxi with his mother, Princess Zhangxiong, to receive a Sinicization education. Now that Li Gongbu is dead, it is time to send little Dorje back to Qiangtang.

This matter, for Ma Luan, is actually as important as revenge. The surrendered city stood on top of the Qiangtang, and the Anxi army had no worries about the road into the river, so it was extremely important to maintain the stability of the Zhangzhung Kingdom.

Little Dorje has been educated in sinicization for a few years.,Basically, the goal has been achieved.。 There is no problem in getting close to Datang. He is also known as the protector god of war under the command of Xinrao Miwo. It is revered by the Qiang tribes on the Qiang pond who believe in Bon. In order to stabilize the Zhangzhung Kingdom for Little Dorje, it is also imperative to revisit Qiangtang.

Therefore, for the time being, he could not go to the river, but he had to send Dorje to inherit the throne of King Zhangzhung first. The affairs on Anxi's side have to be put aside for the time being, and everything will have to wait until they come down from the Qiangtang.

The reason why this matter is so important is actually related to the current situation in Qiangtang. On the whole, although the situation has been developing in a good direction, as far as the capture of Rakren is concerned. Actually, it's a bit early.

At the beginning of Gongren's ascension to the plateau, he also followed Li Longji's orders, and used his influence as a descendant of Lu Dongzan in the Qiangtang to incite various Qiang tribes to fight each other, so as to gradually consume and reduce the population of the Qiang people on the plateau. At the beginning, Gong Ren was in the east and Du Huan Cen was in the west, and together they instigated the Qiang people to fight among themselves, and at the same time sold weapons to the parties to the conflict for huge profits, on the one hand, to reduce the population of the Qiang people, and on the other hand, to drain the wealth on the Qiang pond economically. The Qiang people are widely distributed on the plateau. There are more than 2 million dingkou, and it will take an extremely long time to weaken nature as much as possible. It can't be done overnight. The previous situation was very good, whether it was on Gongren or Du Huancen Shen, they did a good job, the tribes in the south and north of the Yangtze River and the Daxue Mountains attacked each other, and they all had to buy weapons and supplies from the Tang people, and the number of people continued to decrease, and the wealth continued to flow out, but no one could stop. The enmity between them lasted for centuries, and in the past, the Zampu family was pressed on it, but now that there is no Zampu family, they are not convinced by each other, and the revenge is endless.

This time, taking advantage of the time of returning from the Northern Expedition, Gong Ren was eager to make meritorious contributions, and directly led the soldiers and horses of Longyou who were separated from Ge Shuhan to attack Luozhi and successfully occupied Luozhi City. It was the capital of the Tibetan Empire and the symbol of Tibet, and this battle was also counted as the merit of destroying the country, and Gongren was also rewarded for this.

However, the Qiang tribes fought with each other, to a large extent, to compete for the Luosome River Valley, for the dominance of the Qiangist city, and now that the Tang army occupied the Qiang, those ambitious tribal leaders lost the ultimate goal of the struggle for a while, and became at a loss.

The result of this is that due to the Tang army's presence in the city of Luo, although the battle between the various Qiang tribes around the Luoqi continues, the intensity is much lower, and the various tribes will still buy ordnance and materials with the Tang people, but there are few large-scale battles.

This is not necessarily good news for the Tang Dynasty, after all, the Dingkou of the Tubo Empire has more than two million people, according to the tradition of three households to draw one ding, two or three hundred thousand elite soldiers can be gathered, if one household draws one ding, there are more soldiers to fight, and now that Tubo is gone, the Qiang people are still there, the Qiang tribe has been reduced by less than half, and the Qiang people in Qiangtang and the surrounding areas are still millions, and they are still a strong force when aggregated, which is far from Ma Lan's previous goal, but it is still far from enough.

On Gongren's achievement of destroying the country, after the army was stationed in the city of Luo, he mainly began to do business, and there was nothing new, and he did not seem to pay much attention to the fact that the Qiang tribes no longer fight. Of course, he is a descendant of Lu Dongzan, and he is also a Qiang person, so he may not really want to see the Qiang people fall from now on. However, for Ma Lan, this situation must actually change.

Therefore, this time in Qiangtang, not only to send Xiao Dorje to the throne, but also to personally take a look at the situation on Qiangtang, to see if he can find a way to make the battle between the Qiang people more intense, and to see how loyal Gong Ren, a descendant of Tubo Da Theory, is to the Tang Dynasty.

The matter of Qiangtang involves the back road of the Anxi army, so it is more critical than the matter of Xihai City. It is inevitable to seek revenge from the Turks who attacked Xihai City, but I am afraid it will have to wait until after the beginning of spring. What can be solved this winter is the succession of little Dorje.

There was also a letter from the farthest reaches of the city.

Located in front of the Strait of Hormuz, Wannian City is the most important stronghold of the Tang Dynasty near Fars, and is extremely important for the future layout of the Anxi army. The news sent by Tian Mingyuan said two things, one is that Wannian City has been stabilized, and the Turkic miscellaneous soldiers who followed the Anxi Army's westward expedition have not fought and plundered for a long time, and they are already idle. The second is to continue to expand. Some ordnance needs to be replenished. Gunpowder, fire, thunder, steel arrows, and eight-ox crossbows are in short supply. In particular, most of the eight-ox crossbows were loaded into the fleet, and only a small part was left in the harbor, and they were also installed on the fortress overlooking the harbor, and it was impossible to dismantle them and follow the cavalry maneuver. Without this kind of long-range force, the suppression ability of the Anxi New Army is also a big loss, and it is hoped that a batch can be transported from the city as soon as possible.

The two things Tian Mingyuan said are actually one thing, that is, to fight. Replenishment is needed. With the personality of a Turkic soldier, if he doesn't fight or loot, he is afraid that he will suffocate to death, and Tian Mingyuan himself is obviously itchy with his hands, after all, he is also a young man and is eager to make contributions.

The only way to solve this matter was to rely on Fang Wen, so Ma Lan also gave an order to Fang Wenwen and asked him to allocate more ordnance to the Wannian City side. However, there are not many weapons reserves in the Capture City, so they have to speed up the delivery to the Capture City. Of course, the most fundamental solution is naturally to re-establish the Ma family workshop to the west of the Green Mountain and manufacture ordnance on the spot. It is better to set up a few more such workshops, so as to meet the needs of the future expansion of the Anxi army.

This will not be done until after the beginning of spring. The most crucial person in setting up the Ma family workshop is Master Li Xiu, without whom nothing can be done. And the school is being built here, and it is also inseparable from Li Xiu for the time being. At this time, Ma Lan longed for a few more people like Master Li Xiu, but he also understood that it was already his luck to meet such a person. It is impossible to encounter it again, and future talents will have to be cultivated by themselves.

None of these things are unimportant. However, there is a priority in the matter, and Ma Lan can naturally distinguish it clearly. Naturally, the honeymoon can't be finished in Qiuzi, and as the lord of the moraine, he has a responsibility on his shoulders, and it is impossible to do everything by his temperament. After all, it was a hard life, and it was an extremely luxurious thing for him to want to spend a whole month in his busy life.

Longxing Temple is the Great Temple of Anxi, which is considered to be the leading temple in the Qiuzi area. This place is where the flower monk Kumi once lived. That Kongjian is a famous monk in Chang'an, made a wish to promote Buddhism to the west of the quicksand, came to Longxing Temple as the first one, and later he finally betrayed the hue for the cause, after entering the tribe of the Xiangxiong king, he broke the vows to marry the beautiful daughter of the Zhangxiong king Li Gongbu as his wife, and made a huge sacrifice for the cause of promoting Buddhism. After that, there was little Dorje, and Kongjian actually had a very good kung fu under his hands, and the other kung fu was probably very good, and his old age did not affect the sowing of seeds.

Later, after the successful restoration of Zhangxiong, the little Dorje and Princess Zhangxiong were taken to Qiuzi by Ma Lan, and insisted on living in the place where Kongjian used to live, so Ma Lan arranged the mother and son in Longxing Temple, so that the current presiding monk of Longxing Temple, Fahai Monk Haosheng, took care of it, and taught the mother and son to learn the Central Plains culture is also here, and the person responsible for teaching the two is the famous Confucianism in the west of the city.

Originally, Ma Lan's goal was just to teach little Dorje, after all, little Dorje is the future heir of the Zhangzhung Kingdom, but the princess of Zhangzhung was only fifteen or sixteen years old when she arrived in Anxi, which is also the age of strong intellectual curiosity, this is also an extremely smart woman, she naturally couldn't learn anything in the tribe of Zhangzhung at first, and then she was fooled by the flower monk and only learned a little Dharma, and after arriving in Anxi, her eyes were opened, and the things taught by the Confucians were mastered very quickly, and then those Confucians simply taught her together. Dorje was just a child, and he didn't learn as fast as she did.

It was determined that he wanted to go to Qiangtang again, so Ma Lan took his two newlywed wives to Longxing Temple together. This time the two wanted to follow, but Ma Ling did not refuse, after all, it was the time of the newlywed Yan'er, and besides, the two of them were also kung fu, not ordinary weak women, and the epidemic would not affect them.

Monk Fahai is also a few years older, but the spirit is good, and he diligently led Ma Lu to the back of Longxing Temple, there is a small courtyard under the cliff wall full of statues, which is the original residence of Kongjian. Today, it is the place where Dorje's mother and daughter lived, and it is also the place where the great Confucians taught Dorje Han culture.

Princess Zhangxiong is only about twenty years old now, and little Dorje is seven or eight years old. After a few years, this Qiang woman seems to be a lot calmer, but she is still extremely shy. When I first saw her, Ma Lan sighed in her heart that a piece of good mutton was eaten by a dog, and now when I see this bright woman again, I can't help but feel this feeling in my heart again.
