readx; Li Qing'an was in good spirits, and immediately took the letter and smiled at everyone: "This Zarik is a qualified messenger, and it's a pity to let him be a scout." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Everyone laughed, and the scout lieutenant general Qin Haiyang said with a smile: "He is a talent in our scout army, and the general can't transfer him away." ”

"I won't transfer him, I'll give him his own choice."

Li Qingan smiled, shook out a letter from the letterbox, he unfolded the letter, read it hurriedly, immediately smiled, and handed the letter to everyone: "Take a look!" This Shang Xi Dongzan is really willing to recognize the big cannibal as his godfather. ”

Everyone circulated the letter, and it was clearly written in the letter that Shang Xi Dongzan recognized Da Shi as the suzerainty of Tibet, and signed and sealed it, which means that Shang Xi Dongzan did not say it, he really had this heart.

Tian Qianzhen read the letter, frowned and said: "This Shang Xi Dongzan has the ambition to be the Tubo Zanpu. ”

Li Qingan glanced at him approvingly, nodded with a smile, and said, "You can tell me specifically, how can you see it?" ”

"It's very simple, promise Tubo to be a vassal state of the big cannibal, this is not Shang Xi Dongzan's authority to decide, he is just a general, he has no right to decide such a major event, if he is just perfunctory, then he will not admit this matter in writing, otherwise in the future, Tubo will be held responsible, he will be the first to run away, this can only show that Shang Xi Dongzan has regarded himself as the next Zampu, even if the big cannibal does not send troops, I think he will take refuge in the big food as a vassal, seeking the protection of the big cannibal against him, Getting the big cannibal to support him as the Tibetan Zampu should be his plan to kill two birds with one stone. ”

"General Tian has seen Shang Xi Dongzan very thoroughly!"

Li Qingan nodded and said with a smile: "Since this person has so many troops, of course he has ambitions, but I think this person is not the key to the entire campaign, the key is Shang Jiasu." ”

Speaking of Shang Jiasu, He Lou Yurun felt that he couldn't be silent, he had been fighting with Shang Jiasu in Jimo City for a few days and nights, and he had the most say in this person.

He Lou Yurun smiled and said: "General, this Shang Jiasu is our old opponent, he and Shang Xi Dongzan have always had a mustard, this time the death of Tubo Zampu planted the root of hatred between the two of them, and since General Tian robbed the grain, Shang Jiasu has not received food, so this runaway general can't go south to Xinde." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Qianzhen arched his hand to him and expressed his gratitude, since he captured the city of Tan, built a bridge over the Amu Darya River, and attacked the grain team of the Tubo army at night, these two battles made him win the respect of the Anxi army, and even He Lou Yurun, who had always looked down on him, also praised him, which made Tian Qianzhen feel very excited, which meant that he really integrated into the Anxi army.

He smiled and said: "I agree with General He Lou's opinion, Shang Jiasu's grain should be almost untenable, and Shang Xi Dongzan's delay in distributing food is to use food to control Shang Jiasu, but in this way, Shang Jiasu's subordinates will inevitably hate Shang Xi Dongzan even more, general, we can make good use of the contradictions between them." ”

Li Qingan smiled slightly, didn't he let Zarik pretend to be the Great Food Emissary, just for this day? Things were realized step by step according to his plan, and he looked at Shang Xi Dongzan's statement again, there was no period on it, this should be Shang Xi Dongzan deliberately left a way back for himself, it was that there was no period of fall, so there was room for manipulation, Li Qingan said slowly: "There are only three days, perhaps, there will be interesting stories that we didn't expect to happen in these three days." ”

．．．．．．． Shang Jiasu did have plans to go south to Xinde, he knew very well the strength of the Tang army, and after the battle of the end of the city, he had a natural fear of Li Qing'an, he knew that he was not Li Qing'an's opponent, and he knew that the Tubo army was not successful in this Tocharian battle, so he wanted to go to Xinde and open up a new world there.

However, the lack of military rations held Shang Jiasu back, and the Tang army had already sent a brigade south, cutting off the main road to Sindh, making his Sindh dream unreal.

All this is Shang Xi Dongzan's framing of himself, mentioning Shang Xi Dongzan, Shang Jiasu thought of the battle of the end of the city that made him difficult to wash his shame, in order to cover up his incompetence, he put the responsibility for the failure of the end of the city on the head of Shang Xi Dongzan, over time, even he believed that it was Shang Xi Dongzan's exclusion of himself that made him suffer the defeat of the end of the city, and Shang Xi Dongzan took Tochar lightly and took away the glory that should have belonged to him.

It was in this way that Shang Jiasu hated Shang Xi Dongzan to the core, but in order to get military rations, he had to make a little compromise with Shang Xi Dongzan, ostensibly agreeing to join forces with him to deal with the Tang army.

The grain came out and was gone, according to Shang Xi Dongzan's explanation, it was robbed by the Tang Army, but Shang Jiasu had a deep prejudice against Shang Xi Dongzan, he didn't believe Shang Xi Dongzan's explanation, he suspected that Shang Xi Dongzan was making a show and robbed the grain himself.

Now the military rations are the lifeblood of Shang Jiasu, and his military rations can only last for two days, although he also sent people to plunder everywhere, but the wealth and food of Tocharian have been looted by Shang Xi Dongzan, and the food he can grab is really insignificant for the consumption of 80,000 people.

In desperation, Shang Jiasu had to convene a meeting of the main generals to discuss the plan to jointly conquer the Tang army with Shang Xi Dongzan two days later, which was undoubtedly a very poor decision, and the dignified army of 80,000 had to bow to 60,000.

There was silence in the venue, and no one was willing to speak, obeying Shang Xi Dongzan's orders? Zampu's death has not yet cleared his suspicions!

Only Shang Jiasu's dry voice echoed in the venue: "Everyone, I don't want to, I personally hate him to the core, but I can't help it, our military rations can only last for a short time, this is our weakness, and now we are caught by Shang Xi Dongzan, we can only deal with him, perfunctory him, and when the food arrives, we will go away to Xinde, where we will fight a new world." ”

Still no one should make peace, Shang Jiasu's heart began to play a small drum, he suddenly realized that he underestimated the degree of disgust of his generals to Shang Xi Dongzan, and everyone was suspicious that the death of Zampu was related to Shang Xi Dongzan, so they raised him as the commander, and now he wants to cooperate with Shang Xi Dongzan, and everyone is naturally very dissatisfied.

Shang Jiasu laughed dryly, but couldn't find anything to say, and at this moment, a soldier reported at the door: "Dashuai, the envoy of Dashi is here, they have brought 10,000 stone of grain, saying that there is something important to ask to see Dashuai." ”

Hearing that 10,000 stone of grain was coming, Shang Jiasu was overjoyed, although 10,000 stone was not much, it could still support them for ten days.

"Please!" Shang Jiasu personally walked to the door of the room to greet him, and a whisper sounded in the lobby, what is the envoy sent by Da Shi to do?

I saw a dozen soldiers walking in with an Arab in a white robe, followed by his interpreter, the envoy saluted Shang Jiasu respectfully, said a few words in Arabic, and the translator said: "This envoy said that his name is Abu. Hussein, the legal officer of Khorasan, was sent by the governor of Khorasan, Ainur, to discuss the details of the battle with the Don army with General Shang Jiasu....."

"Wait!"

Shang Jiasu stopped the translator's words, he looked back at the generals, all the generals were the same as him, their eyes were full of astonishment, Shang Jiasu asked, "When did we say that we want to cooperate with the Great Food Army?" ”

The interpreter told the envoy, who shook his head in confusion and muttered a long series of words, and the translator said: "He said that the Tocharian Governor General Shangxi Dongzan has reached a cooperation agreement with their Caliph to deal with the Tang army, so as subordinates, we should abide by the agreement reached at the top." ”

"Bullshit!" Shang Jiasu scolded angrily, "What is he, can he represent me?" ”

The resentment in his heart was irrepressible, and he turned back to the crowd: "You have heard! That bastard actually made a deal with Da Shi behind our backs, he may have betrayed something, Da Shicai would be so enthusiastic, we can't accept this cooperation! ”

There was a lot of noise in the lobby, and everyone scolded Shang Xi Dongzan for his ill intentions, at this time, the envoy and the interpreter exchanged a few words, and the translator said: "The envoy said that Shang Xi Dongzan has officially recognized the Abbasid Empire as the suzerainty of the Tibetan Kingdom, and you are all vassal subjects of the Abbasid Empire, so you should obey the command and not make trouble." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, the hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at each other, what is going on, when did Tubo become someone else's vassal state?

Shang Jiasu was stunned, Shang Xidong praised it so boldly! After a while, he hesitated and asked, "You said that he officially recognized the Abbasid Empire as the suzerainty of Tibet, do you have any evidence?" ”

The messenger seemed to understand his words, took out a statement from his bosom, and handed it to Shang Jiasu, Shang Jiasu slowly opened it, he was stunned, he couldn't believe his eyes, black and white, with Shang Xi Dongzan's signature and seal, there was no fake, he could actually represent Tubo to admit that Da Shi is the suzerainty of Tubo, this is the power that Zampu has!

All the generals gathered around, most of them were illiterate, and some literate people read: "Tubo Shangxi Dongzan to His Majesty the Caliphate of the Great Food Empire, I officially recognize the Great Food Empire as the suzerainty of the Tubo Kingdom, Tubo from top to bottom, are all subordinate subjects of the Great Food Empire, pay taxes every year, and do not embellish for thousands of years, I swear by the Great Snow Mountain and Namco, and my words are subject to the examination of the gods....."

Before he finished reading, someone scolded, "Dog, it must be him, he must have killed Zampu and wanted to steal Zampu's position, now the truth is revealed, we have to avenge Zampu!" ”

"Revenge! We take revenge! There was a roar in the lobby, someone drew a sword to kill the Great Food Messenger, Shang Jiasu hurriedly stopped them, and he said to the Great Food Messenger: "Go back!" Tell you the caliph, we do not accept this statement, he cannot represent Tibet, he can only represent himself, you go quickly, if you are one step late, you will have to worry about your life. ”

The Great Food Messenger was so frightened that he retreated again and again, turned around and escaped from the tent, at this time, the generals surrounded Shang Jiasu, and a person led by him: "Dashuai, Shang Xidong Zan was mad and killed Zampu, and now he wants to be Zampu's ambition exposed, we must not tolerate it, if this person is not eliminated for a day, it will become a big disaster for our Tibet, you decide for yourself!" Whether to do it with us or not to participate, if you do it with us, we will make you the governor of Tocharo, and we will support you in the future as the great theory of Tubo, now there is no hesitation, you make a decision! ”

Shang Jiasu had long wanted to kill Shang Xi Dongzan, take away his army and military rations, and then he led the army to Xinde, not to fight with the Tang army, where he was Xinde and Tianzhu Zanpu, but he couldn't find an excuse, and today the Great Food Messenger brought Shang Xi Dongzan's handle, so that the generals took the initiative to kill this person, and he had no reason not to agree.

Shang Jiasu gritted his teeth and said, "Kill him and avenge Zampu." ”

．．．．．．． On the morning of the same day, the Tubo army in Lancheng packed up their bags, brought the grain and rice sent by the big cannibals, and the 80,000 army marched towards Achuan City, their reasons were very sufficient, in order to prepare for the night of the full moon, the two Tubo armies should be combined.

The march was rapid, and that evening, an army of 80,000 arrived at the city of Ashu, and was stationed about five miles from the city, and Shang Jiasu sent people into the city to meet Shang Xi Dongzan, and invited him to come to the camp to discuss specific combat matters, as well as the temporary ownership of the supreme command.

When the 80,000 Tubo army was still thirty miles away from Achuan City, Shang Xi Dongzan got the news that the Tubo army in Lancheng had actually taken refuge in him, he couldn't help but sneer secretly, he knew that they would come, his food could not survive, so he could only bow to himself.

Just like Shang Jiasu wanted to eat the Tubo army in Achuan City, Shang Xi Dongzan also wanted to eat the 80,000 army, which originally belonged to his army, but because of Zampu's accidental death, Shang Jiasu was cheapened for nothing, and now he only has 60,000 troops in his hands, if he can take the 80,000 army, it means that he has the capital to compete with the Tang army, if he is not defeated, he can also go south to Tianzhu and Xinde, where he can ascend the throne as the emperor.

At this time, Shang Jiasu's envoy arrived and reported to him: "Our general has set up a middle tent outside the city, far away from the army, and I ask General Shang Xi Dongzan to go to the middle tent to negotiate cooperation between the two sides." ”

"I see, I'll go right away."

Sent the messenger away, Shang Xi Dongzan clapped his hands, and at this time, a few people walked in from the side door, and several of his personal soldiers brought a person in, this person looked very similar to him, only a little younger, but with a little makeup, he couldn't tell the truth at all.

This is a stand-in that Shang Xi Dongzan found from the army of 100,000, originally to patrol the Tocharian countries for him, but now it can come in handy at a critical moment.

Shang Xi Dongzan patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You go to a meeting with Shang Jiasu outside the city for me, I really don't like that person, your voice is a little hoarse, just say that you have been cold recently, remember!" Talk to him more about Tocharo's customs, delay the time a little longer, and I'll reward you with a thousand sheep afterwards. ”

The stand-in didn't know the risk, so he agreed, "Don't worry, Dashuai, I will deal with it." ”

"Alright! Here you go. ”

The stand-in saluted and followed the soldiers, Shang Xidong looked at his back, and couldn't help but sneer to himself: "Shang Jiasu, this is your own door to send you to death, then don't blame me for being ruthless." ”
