Sorumi thought for a moment, frowned, and said, "General, the plan is good, but there is a problem. Although these Qiang tribes obey my orders one by one, they are hostile to each other, and I instigated them to fight each other, but now I let them truce, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult to do. ”

"You can solve this matter, I believe in your ability." Ma Lan waved his hand and said with a smile, "After all, the Qiang people also want to live, in order not to be starved to death, they can naturally unite, hunger is the most terrible thing, far more terrible than the enemy, it is enough to remember this." ”

Sorumi thought for a moment and nodded silently.

The taste of hunger, he also tasted when he was a teenager. The taste of being hungry to the extreme is really the most terrible feeling in the world.

After this long winter, the remaining Qiang people have been starved to the extreme, and the tribes of the same clan have nothing to grab, and if they can have a way to live, everything else is no longer important.

So it is completely feasible to pinch these tribes.

……

A big event, so decided.

The matter of the southern expedition to Tianzhu was originally a vague concept for Ma Lu, but now it has become extremely clear.

The goal of the Zhangxiong people was the Indus Plain, and the target of Kongjian was naturally the Ganges Plain.

Haste is a bit hasty, but if you can get the support of the Central Plains Buddhism, it is not hasty.

Sorumi wrote a letter, handed it to Ma and left. It was a big deal to defend the place of Buddha's birth, so he decided to immediately return to Luo to make some preparations, and as for Dorje's mother and son, he didn't go to see it anymore, and directly asked Ma Lan to treat them well. Because he is no longer humane. The princess is very young again. So if Ma Lan could take the time to comfort the princess, he wouldn't mind.

He didn't mind, but Ma Lan did, he could see that the monk was serious, he just listened to a joke.

The letter was addressed to the Buddhist monks of Chang'an, which was also a major event, so Ma Lan directly found the eagle slave and sent the letter to Anxi as soon as possible. After arriving there, the falcon will be replaced and flown to Chang'an, and it will be delivered in a few days. One winter is enough time for Chang'an Buddhism to make full preparations.

The land of Qiangtang is not all under control, and it is Gongren who occupies some cities, so it is impossible for more Qiang tribes to invade Tianzhu from Nepal, but 100,000 Qiang people are actually a relatively powerful force.

Lotus died and died, which can be regarded as eliminating a major hidden danger, and now the matter of Nanzheng Tianzhu has been determined, so at this time. Ma Lu's mood is unusually good.

Walking back to the backyard, I walked to the door of the room and heard a low laugh.

Warm inside the room. The two Qiang girls shrunk into the brocade quilt, their crescent-like eyes were extremely bright, and the little brains were leaning together and talking about something, and they let out crisp laughter from time to time. From the tone of the two, Ma Ling could understand that the second daughter was talking about the previous things.

Seeing Ma Luan's figure appear, the two girls glanced at each other, and their little faces turned red. The smaller one of them was actually cute and stuck out his tongue.

Ma Lan smiled, lifted the brocade quilt, and the two slender and tight delicate bodies were suddenly exposed in the air. The second daughter screamed, and hurriedly clamped her legs to cover her chest, but saw that Ma Lu had already taken off her clothes and leaned over majestically.

He was in a very good mood at this point, so it was inevitable that something would happen.

At this moment, the two little girls are even more moving, without any prelude, and the fierce long drive goes straight in, and instantly rushes into the body of the younger girl, galloping wantonly.

……

The two armies marched south to Tianzhu, all without paying a penny from the Tang Dynasty, the Zhangxiong people attacked the Indus River Plain to grab land far more fertile than the Shiquan River Valley, and the Qiang tribes led by Kongjian were to give the surviving clansmen a chance to live, and the Tang Dynasty only needed to give moral support.

And since the Middle-earth Buddhism will be involved in this matter, this matter will become much easier, and the wealth that the Buddhism has accumulated for many years should be taken out in this war to subdue the demons and defend the path. With the support of Buddhism, even if the Tang army needs to go south in the future, there is no need to worry about financial resources.

Early in the morning of the second day, the two Qiang girls left on their own, and Gao Qianqian and Yang Youniang came over to see Ma Lan together. Seeing Ma Lan's refreshed appearance, the two looked at each other and didn't say anything, Ma Lan pulled the two of them, and directly talked about what happened to the empty meeting last night.

Gao Qianqian has always been involved in secrets, she is not only his partner, but also his arm, Ma Ling does not shy away from her in everything, as for Yang Youniang...... Since she was already his wife, Ma Lan didn't mind letting her touch these things.

This is not an ordinary woman, the assets of the Ma family are operating in Chang'an City, and they are also prosperous, not only Chengxintang Paper, but also several other businesses that occupy a dominant position, and Yang Youniang has contributed a lot. She didn't reach Gao Qianqian's achievements, in fact, it has something to do with the limited resources she has in her hands, and as for talent, the difference is not very big.

Such a woman is afraid that she is not willing to stay at home after marriage and teach her husband and children. As far as Ma Lan is concerned, he doesn't have the idea of letting her stay at home, if she is willing to do something, it is better to do something, after all, she is still young, of course, if she is willing to stay at home, he will naturally not object.

However, with the temperament of a young lady, she probably won't choose to stay at home.

After listening to Ma Lan's story, Yang Youniang thought for a while with her good-looking thin eyebrows, and said softly: "Husband...... There is an extra army in Tianzhu in the south, this army does not start from Zhangxiong, but goes south through North Tianzhu, this matter, I thought I should inform Zhang Xun. ”

Li Heng has become a vegetative person, Zhang Xun has been pretending, and Ma Xuan has already told her these things after Yang Youniang came to Anxi, so she also knows that Zhang Xun is actually in charge of Chang'an City today.

"Oh? Tell me what you think, young lady. Ma Lan looked at the woman with clear eyebrows and smiled slightly.

"Since it will gain the support of Buddhism, it is better to make a big show than to act in secret." Yang Youniang said softly, "The Buddhism of Tianzhu Buddhism has collapsed, and this southern expedition is a dignified and upright thing, and there is no need to hide it if you have a righteous reputation." And the Qiang tribe that can be controlled by the empty view is limited after all. To achieve something. It would be better to unite more Qiang tribes. Let's go south together. ”

"Now on the Qiang Pond, it is the Zhangxiong clan who openly obeys the orders of the husband, and the Gongren occupies some Luo, if you want to let more Qiang tribes participate in this matter, this person can't get around. But he is a small person after all, and he has to listen to the orders of Chang'an City. If you can get Zhang Xun to give an order, let Gong Ren cooperate with her husband in this matter, or directly obey her husband's orders. Then the matter of the southern expedition to Tianzhu will be simpler. ”

Ma Lan smiled. This girl has an idea, and he probably understands what she means.

Yang Youniang continued: "If Zhang Xunken orders, then the southern expedition will be carried out directly and openly in the name of the Tang Dynasty, after this winter, it is impossible for the Qiang tribe to find enough food on the Qiang Pond, they have a deep grudge against each other, it is impossible to form an alliance on their own, in the name of the Tang Dynasty, it is easy to gather them all." When the time comes, Buddhism will send senior monks to participate, and there will be a lot of resistance in the land of North Tianzhu. The wealth that Buddhism can provide can also provide support for follow-up actions. And the Qiang people left this bitter cold land. After getting the fertile plains, I probably won't want to come back. Hundreds of thousands of Qiang people rushed down condescendingly, and the Tianzhu people would definitely not be able to resist. At that time, there is no need to worry about the land of Qiangtang, and the land of Tianzhu will easily belong to me. ”

After saying this, Yang Youniang looked at Ma Lan, and her little face suddenly turned red: "Husband...... The young lady is talking nonsense, and she doesn't listen...... You don't mind hehe......"

Ma Lan smiled and rubbed Yang Youniang's cheeks: "That's a good point!" ”

"Really?" Yang Youniang's big eyes flashed, and her crimson little face was extremely cute.

"Really." Ma Lan smiled and nodded.

Although what this girl said was a little messy, the meaning was still clear. In general, it is to directly raise troops in the name of the Tang Dynasty and drive more Qiang people to participate in the war of the southern expedition to Tianzhu. After these Qiang tribes survive the winter, they can probably have a population of 1 million left, and 120,000 adult males, and they are still a powerful force when they are gathered. With the current situation on the Qiangtang, these scattered Qiang tribes can already be used by the Tang Dynasty.

As long as you can reach an agreement with Zhang Xun, then you can gather greater strength. And bringing more Qiang people away from Qiangtang is also extremely beneficial to his strategy.

Zhang Xun is a smart man and an ambitious guy, and after explaining the stakes, he will definitely agree. At that time, whether Zhang Xun ordered Gongren to cooperate or ordered Gongren to listen to his own orders, this matter could be completed.

If the southern expedition is successful, then the remaining Qiang will probably establish some kind of special relationship with the Tang Dynasty, just like the relationship between the Gurkha and the British in later generations, or the Cossack cavalry and the Russians. After this ethnic group from the plateau no longer becomes Datang's henchman, it is entirely possible to become a sharp knife in Datang's hands.

Of course, this should be many years away.

Subconsciously, he still regarded Zhang Xun as an opponent, so he was ready to act secretly, and now that he thinks about it, he should still cooperate with Zhang Xun. Zhang Xun, the lonely minister of Datang, should not care about the little friction before, and he will naturally do things that are beneficial to Datang. And he didn't need to do much, just give an order to Gong Ren, and there was nothing to lose.

Yang Youniang was praised by her husband, and she was quite happy in her heart, Ma Lan took her over, kissed her face, and said with a smile: "This matter is done like this, I will immediately write a letter to Zhang Xun and ask the eagle slave to send it, it is best to finalize the details this winter." ”

His blatant intimacy made Yang Youniang's face even redder, but Gao Qianqian's expression was extremely bland, she was already used to her husband's appearance. On weekdays, her husband is also like this.

"Husband, will Zhang Xun agree? After all, you've just had a falling out with him before, what if he doesn't agree? Gao Qianqian frowned and said in a low voice.

Ma Ling smiled, he naturally knew what Gao Qianqian was referring to.

"Don't worry! Qianqian, Zhang Xun will never hold a grudge against me because of that incident, that incident is just a temptation for him. He'd definitely agree, because—"

Reaching out and pinching Gao Qianqian's cheek, Ma Ling smiled and said, "Because Zhang Xun and I are the same kind of people!" (To be continued......)
