With the successive arrival of various Dongdai people, under the banner of the ancient Dapeng bird, more and more Xiangxiong people gathered. On both sides of the Shiquan River, there are yurt tents of the Xiangxiong people everywhere, and sheep, horses, and yaks are everywhere.

Among the ten Dongdai in Zhangxiong's hometown, the Dharma tribe has been wiped out, and the remaining nine Dongdai nearly 30,000 households have all gathered near the surrendered city.

According to the practice of sending one soldier from three households during the Qiang people's war, there are nearly 10,000 elite soldiers in the nine Dongdais, and if all the men in the clan are recruited, there can be almost 20,000 men. These people are all under the command of Li Gongbu, the king of Xiangxiong, and he has nearly 10,000 elite soldiers in his hands, and Li Gongpo's waist is also much straighter.

For more than 100 years since Zhangzhung was destroyed, the Zhangzhung royal clan has rebelled against the Luo people a lot, and each time they can get the support of these tribes openly and secretly, but it is a pity that the Luo people are powerful and the Zhangxiong people are isolated, so they have failed to succeed every time.

And this time, standing behind the Xiangxiong people is the most powerful country in the world, the Tang Empire of Tian Khan!

The army of the Tang people has set foot on this land, and with the support of the Tang army, the leaders of each Dongdai are extremely confident.

In particular, the knights of Snow Eagle Dongdai and Dome Dongdai have seen with their own eyes the terrible combat power of the Tang Army, 5,000 elite cavalry in the face of a considerable number of Tang Army, in a very short period of time will be wiped out, after the spread of these people, this battle has been blown to the gods, the Tang Army has become an invincible existence in the eyes of the Xiangxiong people.

The people on the plateau are very simple, and when Ma Xuan rode his horse on the meadow on the bank of the Shiquan River, the eyes of the Zhangxiong people were full of sincere gratitude. At least at this moment, the gratitude is all too real.

The Zhangxiong people succumbed to the military might of the Logos, and were bullied by the Logos for more than a hundred years, and they hated the Logos in their hearts. Now the Tang Army has come to help them restore the country, so at this moment, they are grateful to the Tang Army from the bottom of their hearts.

After the arrival of a large number of Zhangxiong warriors, under the order of Li Gongpo, they immediately threw themselves into the construction of the surrendered city. After tens of thousands of people joined, the pace of city construction was greatly accelerated.

These latecomers were originally ready to pay them, but Li Gongbu said no. The appeal of the king of Zhangzhung was greater than money, and after Li Gongpo said that this would be the place of decisive battle between the Zhangxiong kingdom and the Luo people, the Zhangxiong people who built the city were like crazy, and they started to work every day in the early hours of the morning and were busy until dark.

This is a terrible race, Ma Lan commented in his heart.

Such an ethnic group can only allow them to occupy a corner of the plateau and become one of the many forces on the plateau, and they must not be allowed to expand wantonly. This ethnic group must be under the strict control of Datang.

……

The flower-like princess Zhangzhung walked on the meadow holding the hand of the little prince Dorje, who is now the most popular among the Zhangzhung people. King Zhangxiong is more than sixty years old, which is already considered a high life in the Qiang people, and now he looks quite tough, but he doesn't know when he will fall. The princess and the little prince Dorje are the hope of the future for the Zhangxiong people.

With a faint smile on her delicate face, the Qiang girl walked among her subjects with the little prince, and from time to time reached out to touch the top of people's heads, and those who were touched by her were grateful. Little Dorje also followed his mother's example, clumsily rubbing the top of the elephant's head, looking extremely cute.

"It is extremely rare for the Qiang people to give birth to such a woman. If the general wants to, he will take it back to the barracks directly, so why worry so much. Du Huan saw Ma Lan staring at Princess Zhangxiong and said with a smile.

Ma Lan twitched the corner of his mouth and glanced at Du Huan: "What kind of bastard are you talking about, that's the mother-in-law of the flower monk." ”

Du Huan said with a smile: "The flower monk follows the Mahayana method, and there should not be a mother-in-law." Li Gongbu sent this woman to him just to restore the country. At present, it is not the flower monk Kongjian who is helping Li Gongbu to restore the country, but the general. If the general dragged this woman into the tent, I promise that Li Gongbu would be pleased. ”

Ma Lan shook his head, he really didn't want to deal with this guy who likes a wife.

A few days ago, Du Huan was drunk and said that he leaked his mouth, and Ma Lan and Duan Xiushi knew that he actually had a leg with Mrs. Han. Mrs. Han is the eldest among the sisters of the Yang family, and her daughters are all married to the king of Guangping as concubines, and Du Huan, an old woman like that, can also speak well, and Ma Lan's thoughts of this strange guy can't be understood at all.

Princess Zhangxiong is good-looking, and she looks well-behaved and cute, but thinking that she is the mother-in-law of the flower monk, Ma Lan is not at all interested. Kongjian's shriveled body is lying on the delicate body of the little girl, and it is enough to think about the picture.

Du Huan saw that Ma Lan didn't speak, although General Xindao had the reputation of prodigality, after all, his face was still a little tenderer. These days, he has not been less likely to provoke those Qiang women from crippled families, and the Xiangxiong people are not taboo about this, and when he leaves a small gift, he can move the Qiang women to tears. If you want to do this kind of thing, you can do it, how can there be so many taboos.

The two watched as Princess Zhang-zhung and Little Dorje walked to the Shiquan River and to a dilapidated tent. The door of the tent opened, and an old Qiang man poked his head out, and the Qiang girl and little Dorje walked in.

Seeing the appearance of the old Qiang man, Du Huan's face changed suddenly, and then he saw that Ma Lan's face was already pale, and Qinghai Cheng had already jumped out, and hurriedly beat the horse to keep up.

The two rode their horses and rushed across the meadow, and the Qiang people they met bowed their heads and saluted. Ma Lan ignored these fellows, got off his horse before reaching the tent, and walked in as soon as he lifted the curtain.

The Qiang girl was stunned for a moment, and after recognizing Ma Lan, her face suddenly turned snow-white, and she knelt on the ground with a pop. The old Qiang man laughed dryly, took off his hat and said: "The general saw that the monk was not happy, so he beat the monk a few more times, but the monk still wants to promote Buddhism on the plateau, and he just begs the general not to be killed." ”

Ma Luan's face was pale, and he slapped two slaps on Kongjian's bald head. These two blows were extremely heavy, and the old monk screamed miserably, holding his head so painfully that his face was distorted.

Where did the Qiang girl see this, looking at Kongjian and feeling distressed, tears flowed out. Little Dorje broke free of his mother's hand, glared and rushed towards Ma Lan, and Du Huan, who had just entered the tent, hurriedly grabbed him.

"A certain family said that you are not allowed to set foot on Qiangtang without an order from a certain family! If you want to spread the Dharma on the plateau, you will have the opportunity in the future! Dead bald donkey, are the words of General Ben false? Ma Lan slapped the old monk again and said angrily.

The old monk was beaten and trembled again, grinning and enduring pain: "Your Excellency General, forgive me, the monk is already very old, and I really can't wait that long." ”

Ma Lan said angrily: "If you can't wait, you have to wait!" This general wants to fight a decisive battle with Tubo Zampu here, and he will not allow the slightest mistake! You are a Han monk, you need to know the priorities, if this battle is wrong because of you, I will spare you! ”

The old monk said with a bitter face: "I know that the general does not want the monk to preach Buddhism for the Zhangxiong people, and the monk is not ready to stay here when he goes to Qiangtang this time, but he just wants to take advantage of the Tao and go elsewhere to preach Buddhism." I stayed here for a few days, just to reunite with my wife for a few days, and left in a few days, because I didn't want to disturb the general, but I didn't expect to be discovered by the general in the end. General, I am a Han monk, how can I not be loyal to the country? After being discovered by the general, the monk left and went to Suvi, Raksa and other places to preach the Dharma. ”

Ma Luan's face was gloomy and he didn't speak.

"General, I have studied the law in Chang'an since I was a child, and I was already famous when I was a teenager, and I wanted to magnify my Buddha all my life, and I went to Anxi for more than 60 years, and I achieved nothing in ten years. I am already old, and I have been abandoned by King Zhangxiong, and I only hope that the general will have mercy and let the monk make the last effort. ”

Du Huan smiled: "You have a wife and children, you are a flower monk, how can you teach others to believe in the Buddha?" ”

Kongjian lowered his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "The lesson of the army is that after the monk leaves the tent, he has nothing to do with his wife. ”

Ma Xuan said coldly: "No one in Anxi dares to disrespect a certain order!" Dead bald donkey, for the sake of you being a Han monk, a certain family will spare you this time from dying! A certain family asks you, how did you get here? I have soldiers stationed on top of the snowy mountains, how can you come? ”

Hearing this, Kong Jian Lao showed a smug look on his face, opened his mouth and said with a smile: "When the monk was young, he fought many times in Chang'an and Daomen, and he killed a lot of bulls, and some of the methods are still remembered. ”

Ma Lan listened and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

The dead bald donkey is still a practitioner, and he is still a master!

There is a team of Tang troops stationed in Sangzhu Daban, and there are Mi Xue and others left behind on the front line of Baishitan, how can the dead monk come here without being noticed by them, how can it be possible without some means?

Not only did he marry a wife and have children, but he also killed people, and in this way, he still devoted himself to promoting Buddhism, and this Mahayana monk is really enough.

After saying this, Sorumi slowly stood up, although he was still thin, he was quite tall, no longer looking like a drooping old man, he had a bit of a Coats demeanor, and he looked much younger.

The Qiang girl couldn't understand the Chinese language, and she didn't know what they were talking about, but when she saw Sorumi like this, her beautiful eyes showed admiration.

Ma Ling snorted coldly, his body suddenly burst out, and he slammed his fist into Kongmi's front door.

Kong Jian's body slipped around in place, and he actually dodged Ma Lan's attack, grabbed Ma Lan's neck with a claw, and said with a smile: "The monk above the battle array is not as good as the general, but the general in this room is not as good as the monk." ”

Just as he was proud, Ma Lan's neck twisted stiffly, and the monk's grasp fell into the air, and then a pillar-like thigh smashed into the monk's waist, and the monk screamed, and was directly smashed out and hit the ground heavily.

Ma Lan twisted his neck and looked at the monk with a sneer.

Sorumi stood up with a grin and said with a wry smile: "The general is a good means!" I think I was a ranger back then. If it had been twenty years earlier, Sorumi might have been able to fight the shogun, but now he is really old. ”

Ma Lan didn't answer his words, and smiled indifferently: "If you want to teach the Dharma, it's not impossible, you have also seen the situation of the Xiangxiong people, you don't have to think about it here." But a certain family can show you the way, and if you want, I can let you go. (To be continued.) )
