Chapter 31 The Tibetan Base Area
From the west of the Longyou River, to the four towns of Anxi, the Central Asian expeditionary force led by Li Ji rushed thousands of miles, and the places they passed through along the way were boundless deserts and oases dotted with dots, and after entering the Pamir Plateau, among the towering mountains, the snow-capped mountains were continuous, the glaciers were widely distributed, and the march in many sections was quite difficult, and there were no people everywhere. It's a battlefield in itself without enemies, battling the ever-changing bad weather, the rugged mountains, and sometimes hunger and thirst.
This exhausting march was a severe test of the soldiers' morale and plain duties, and the human will could easily be crushed in the face of the powerful forces of nature on the plateau. The desolate scene of hundreds of miles will make people discover the insignificance and fragility of life, and in this case, it is also a great test of the will of the main general.
However, the generals of the Tang Dynasty, especially in the early Tang Dynasty, had countless geniuses full of passion for conquest, and they firmly believed that the will of man could overcome the obstacles of nature and thus defeat nature, among which Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian were the representatives of these people.
After the experience of the wasteland, these young generals became much more mature than in history, and also allowed the army of the Tang Dynasty to gradually adapt to the harsh combat environment, laying a strong foundation for the next engagement......
Compared with the talents of the Tang Dynasty, the black-clothed eaters who are in the period of conquest of the four caliphs also have many outstanding military talents, for example, generals such as Kilid and Kyle, as generals who have been leading the troops from Arabia to West Asia and then to Europe, these generals who have been leading the army are also experienced in a hundred battles, and they do not have the slightest fear in the face of the army of the Tang Dynasty. Opposite. For opponents who can play against Central Asia. They also have strong self-confidence......
The black-clad cannibal's plan for a sneak attack failed, and the leader Sivir was captured, and the lieutenant general Alasa was seriously wounded, which greatly annoyed the Arabs, who had been rampant in Western Asia.
However, the Tang Empire is far away in Central Asia, and part of their army is still contained in Persia, although most of the Amu Darya River has been occupied by the Great Cannibals, but the small recalcitrant forces of Persia still need to send military forces to suppress it. They can only continue to gather forces in Central Asia and shift the center of operations to the vicinity of Central Asia.
Compared with the entanglement of the Arabs, the Tang people's troops fought steadily, step by step, with Lhasa City as a base, began to train troops on a large scale, and at the same time vigorously developed religious programs, collected Tibetan believers, assimilated the Tibetan people, and made the original Tibet a real base of the Tang Dynasty. In this way, they can prepare for the next battle......
Beneath the huge Potala Palace is an open square. From time to time, there were Tang soldiers in armor patrolling back and forth, and many soldiers stood on both sides of the square to maintain order, and the scene looked extremely solemn.
In the middle of the square, there stands a huge Buddha statue, about several feet high, wearing a robe, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes. However, if you look closely, the facial features on this Buddha's face are somewhat similar to Li Er.
Beneath that Buddha statue were already hundreds of people in Tibetan robes, and judging from their pious expressions, it seemed that they had extremely high respect for the Buddha statue in front of them......
"Okay, Dalai Lama, that's the end of today's visit, donors, please enter the side hall, there will be a reincarnated spirit boy in the side hall to redeem you." When the people kneeling in front of the Buddha statue finished worshipping, an old man wearing a red robe and a crown of ten thousand Buddhas walked by, and said to everyone in Tibetan.
The person who was originally kneeling there was suddenly very excited, followed the old man, lined up, and slowly walked towards a side hall next to the Potala Palace.
Several soldiers guarding the door slowly opened the door of the side hall, and when they looked inside from the outside, they could only see a dim light, because all the windows were covered, so the whole hall looked a little ghostly.
On the high platform of the main hall, several bright lights were lit in different ways, attracting everyone's attention like candles in the dark night.
The old man who led the way turned his head and said to the long line behind him: "The reincarnated spirit boy can only help one person at a time, and after someone enters, they can't enter again, otherwise, the reincarnated spirit boy will séance fire to extinguish it, do you understand?!" ”
Everyone in the team behind the old man nodded in unison, and it seemed that this was not the first time they had heard the old man speak like this.
"Alright, first apostle, it looks like you've brought your child with you, and now you can come with me to meet the reincarnated spirit child." After the old man finished explaining, he spoke to the Tibetan who looked to be in his fifties and had a child at the front of the line.
The old Tibetan looked a little excited, but he held the hand of a boy next to him tightly and thanked him in Tibetan.
The old man seemed to be used to it, and didn't say much, but took the old Tibetan into the side hall step by step, and when the old Tibetan and his son walked to the center of the main hall, the old man slowly closed the door.
"Who's coming? What's the request? From the glowing platform of the main hall came an ethereal voice, which kept echoing in the main hall, and it seemed very ethereal.
When the old Tibetan heard this voice, he trembled a little because of his excitement, and he only heard him reply tremblingly in Chinese, which he was not proficient in...... See the reincarnation of the spirit boy His Royal Highness King Wu, I am the herdsman Gongpo Sangzhuo at the foot of Duoduo Peak, I came to see His Royal Highness the spirit boy today to thank you, thank Your Highness for saving my child, you saved the hope of my whole family. ”……
Under the mechanism of the main hall, Li Ke was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand, under the illumination of the light, the shadows of his hands covered half of the wall cloth of the side hall, which looked like a strange mystery.
"You are my believer, so I will redeem you, as long as your son is not cursed by the devil, our god can cure him of any disease." Li Ke said confidently that with the increase of time, he is now more and more proficient in dealing with these problems.
"Thank you, Lord Lingtong, I, Gongpo Sangzhuo, will never forget the kindness of Lord Jì for the rest of my life."
"Hmm." Li Ke leaned back behind the recliner, "Are you just here to thank you today?" Don't you have any other requests? ”
"And ......" The old Kampo, who was kneeling in the middle of the main hall, raised his head a little tangled, and said: "Just yesterday, Lu Dongzan, a heretic wanted by the Divine Sect, came to live in my house, and now he has escaped, and I ask Lord Lingtong to instruct ............
