The next morning, the team grew in size by four hundred and fifty more. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info one hundred and thirty of them were Zuo Shaoyang's thank-you gifts for combing through the holy spring this time, and the other three hundred and twenty people were preparing to give Zuo Shaoyang a thank you gift to persuade the Duomi Alliance, led by Du Song, the eldest son of the chief Xihuan. The two sides said that it was done, and it was done, and these people continued to walk with Zuo Shaoyang, but if they couldn't do it, they would take the people back. These people all bring their own rations, of course, if it is done, Zuo Shaoyang will be responsible for the food and accommodation in the back.

Because of the lack of carriages, they could only walk, so the speed of travel slowed down significantly, but fortunately, they had already left the border, and the possibility of the Tang Dynasty pursuers sneaking in was getting smaller and smaller.

On the way, Zuo Shaoyang spent all possible time learning Tibetan with Dalongxin, and after more than ten days, they finally entered Domi.

If they were to go directly to the city of Rachi, they would only have to pass through the southern part of Tami, but because they had the task of convincing both sides of the alliance between Tami and Misan, it was not only about whether the three hundred and twenty slave girls and craftsmen would continue to follow them, but also whether they would have more time to strengthen Gangren Buche or Zhangzhung in order to help them deal with the impending Tibetan attack. Whether Tibet can smoothly unify the Western Regions like history is directly related to the interests and safety of the Tang Dynasty after the Anshi Rebellion.

Therefore, Zuo Shaoyang decided to turn north and go to the south of the capital of Tami Kingdom. In this way, on the one hand, you can do business, and on the other hand, if there are Datang chasing soldiers, you can also take the opportunity to get rid of them.

All the way to the north, you can see all the agricultural and pastoral areas, and occasionally see green pasture cattle and sheep, as well as lush barley. The houses and tents of the herdsmen in the rural areas are also better than those in the misans. It seems that Domi is richer than Misan.

After three days, they finally arrived in Nancheng. It was raining lightly, and it was already the beginning of autumn, so the rain was a little cooler. In the light rain, they entered the southern part of Tami's capital.

Nancheng is much larger than the earthen fort of Misang, which is already comparable to the urban defense buildings of the medium-sized cities of the Tang Dynasty. Because there was no war, the gates were wide open, and there were no guards guarding the gates. Pedestrians and business travelers are free to enter and exit.

Zuo Shaoyang's team was very large, and there were hundreds of young and beautiful women, so they attracted pedestrians to stop and watch.

After entering the city, so many people, living became a big problem, the chief's son Du Song was very familiar with Tami, found an inn opened by the Mi San people here, chartered the whole inn, and set up a lot of tents in the backyard, so that he could barely stay.

After settling down, Zuo Shaoyang called Da Longxin into the house and said, "I'm going to visit the king of Tami, how can I see him?" ”

Daronsin said: "First go and meet their foreign affairs officer, hand them gifts, and ask to see the king, if the king is willing to receive them, he will let the foreign affairs officer arrange it." His subordinates had met King Taya a few times with King Ho in his previous life, so he was still familiar with the foreign affairs officer's subordinates. ”

"That's good, you help me write a gift list, and we ask to see the king."

"Yes!" Daronsin took a pen and paper, picked up the pen and waited.

Zuo Shaoyang thought for a while and said, "How to write the front you think for yourself, anyway, our gift to King Tami, uh, twenty beauties and a thumb-sized pearl worth two thousand taels of silver!" ”

Daronsin was taken aback: "Dharma King, this beauty is easy to handle, this pearl ......?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang took out the money bag from his arms, and there was a thumb-sized pearl everywhere: "Huh! Just use this one, it's worth two thousand taels of silver! ”

"However, this is your property, how can you use it to do things for Mi Sang? All the things that Mi Sang gave you add up to far less than the money of this pearl? ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled: "What do you know, this is called reluctant children can't trap wolves!" If we don't take out valuable things, how can people pay attention to us? How can you speak? Don't worry, I know in my heart, money is used to do things, and if you do this, what is it to spend this pearl? In the future, what we will exchange for is far less than worth this pearl! ”

Daronxin said carefully: "However, the king of Tami is very stingy, and I am afraid that he will not give much in return to the king." ”

"Why don't you open your mind? This is not a transaction, and there is no need for an equivalent exchange. This time, I will not only convince Tami to form an alliance with Misan, but also with the surrounding small countries and tribes such as Bokang, Powo and Luowo to jointly deal with Tibet! In this way, there is a multinational alliance centered on Duomi in the east of Tibet, a powerful Yangtong and Qiangtang in the north, a confrontation with our Xiangxiong Gangren Buche in the west, and mud Bora and Tianzhu in the south. ”

Da Longxin naturally didn't know that Zuo Shaoyang already knew that Tubo would defeat all the Western Regions in the future, unify the Western Regions, and even come to the city of Chengdu in the Tang Dynasty! He wants to take advantage of the current climate in Tibet, which is not yet big, to make trouble for him, not to let him unify the Western Regions, at least not to break through the buffer barrier between Duomi and other tribes in the east and the Tang Dynasty.

His purpose in doing this was not patriotism, and now it seems that the struggle between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, just like the struggle between the Song Dynasty and the Jin State, is a nest fight. It doesn't make sense to help either side.

After Zuo Shaoyang's law field is a life and death, any wealth and prosperity is fleeting, and it has no meaning to him. He also didn't want to serve others. However, this time he had to do someone else this favor, just because he was now a Dharma King, a Dharma King of the Gangren Buche Mandala in the territory of Zhangxiong. And he already knew that the iron hooves of Songtsen Gampo would not be long before they stepped on his ground, and he, as the Dharma King of Gangren Buche, would never tolerate his mandala being captured by Tibet!

However, there are only 1,000 families in the entire Gangren Buche mandala, with a total of 5,000 people. In any case, it is impossible to confront Tubo, so to avoid this result, the only way to avoid this result is to set up as many strong enemies as possible for Tubo, and enough strong enemies to confront him. In order to contain the power of Tibet, so that he has no time to take care of his own territory, Gangren Buche Mandala.

And it is the best choice to set up a strong enemy for Tibet and let small countries form alliances. So, he had to do it.

Of course, so far, there is no Zuo Shaoyang, who has not a single soldier and does not have much fame, this is just a dream. For a dream to become a reality, it must be taken one step at a time.

The first footprint has already been stepped on, and that is to gain the trust of Chief Misan. He wants to step on the second footprint, which is to say that Taya has formed an alliance with Misan. The footprints behind it were to persuade Duomi to form an alliance with Bokang, Bowo and other countries to jointly deal with the rapidly becoming powerful Tubo.

All of this is to protect the country of Zhangzhung and to protect the mandala of Gangren Buche as the king of the Dharma. In order to achieve this purpose, what is it to pay a pearl?

After listening to Zuo Shaoyang's words, Da Longxin didn't dare to say anything more, and honestly wrote down a pearl worth two thousand taels of silver, and then looked at Zuo Shaoyang again.

Zuo Shaoyang thought for a while and said, "Ten best singers!" ”

Da Long Xin was stunned and said, "Dharma King, this is a gift from the chief, and he said that you can't pass it on to others." ”

"Nonsense, since it was given to me is mine, I can naturally dispose of it at will." Zuo Shaoyang said with a smile, "We must make the best use of our talents and materials." You know? The old king of Tami is a pervert, let's call it what he likes, or that sentence, I can't bear to let the child trap the wolf, and I can't bear the beauty to hook the hooligan! Hey, hey, as long as Duomiken forms an alliance with Misang, and then moves him to form an alliance with several other small countries, it will be powerful, and only then will he have the capital and ability to deal with Tubo, and they will contain Tubo, and our Zhangxiong and Gangren Buche Mandala will have a safe guarantee! ”

Dalongxin never believed that Tubo would attack these eastern countries, and he did not believe that Tubo would fight Zhangxiong in the future, because Zhangxiong's strength was not under Tubo. However, these were the words of His Holiness, and he did not dare not listen to them. I had to honestly write the "Ten Best Singers" on the gift list.

Zuo Shaoyang gave the pearl to Da Longxin, gave him money to buy a decent jewelry box, and then took out an ingot of ten taels of silver and handed it to Da Longxin: "Oh, this is used to deal with foreign affairs officials." ”

"Don't need it, right? I know him well. ”

"You know what? Familiar and familiar, now we want to see the king, take other people's hands short, eat other people's soft mouths, he accepted our gifts, will help us wholeheartedly! As an elder, don't care about these little heads, take a long-term view! Alright, let's send the gift slip. ”

Da Long Xin hurriedly agreed, took the greeting post and went out, and after telling Mei Duo, he left with ten singers.

After waiting for an hour or two, he returned, and said excitedly, "King Hohama, King Tami has promised to see you. Hehe, the King was prescient, and I started to only have a relationship with the foreign affairs officer, but he pushed back, saying that the king was not in good health and did not see any outsiders. Later, I handed over the ten taels of silver, and then I changed my smile. promised to report to the king immediately. After signing for the gifts and the singers, he brought them into the palace, and soon came back and said that the king would summon you immediately! ”

"Haha, money can make the ghost grind, and it's no problem to let the king grind. Walk! ”

Zuo Shaoyang changed into a brocade robe and jade robe, and after talking to the chief's son Du Song, he took Da Long Xin into the palace.

When the foreign affairs officer saw Zuo Shaoyang, he was full of smiles and kept saying flattering words, but all he spoke was Tibetan, and although Zuo Shaoyang had learned Tibetan for a few days, he still could hardly understand it. Just smile and say nothing. The foreign affairs officer was a little strange, and after asking Da Longxin, he knew that Zuo Shaoyang was Han, and he was busy speaking in half-baked Chinese. This foreign affairs officer can speak some Chinese, which makes Zuo Shaoyang feel a lot more convenient.

The foreign affairs officer took them by car to the palace.

The rain was heavier, mixed with rumbling thunder. It makes people feel a little numb in the scalp.

When he came to the gate of the palace, he saw a group of men escorting a young man in a brocade robe, braving the autumn rain to come out of the palace, an official swaggering in front, and in the back guard, a big man with a ghost head knife in his hand, naked and naked, seemed to be an executioner. The brocade-clad man with a big tie of flowers was cloaked and shouted, in Tibetan.

Zuo Shaoyang said strangely: "Who is this person?" ”

The foreign affairs officer glanced at it, was also taken aback, and hurriedly said, "It's the eldest prince, what's the matter?" Why do you want to tie him up? ”

"The Great Prince?" Zuo Shaoyang was also secretly surprised, remembering what the chieftain's concubine said, this prince is also against Tibet, but he can't speak in the kingdom, he can't be the master, seeing him like this, as if he is going to push out the noon gate and behead him, he hurriedly said to the foreign affairs officer: "Please go and inquire, what are they going to do with the prince?" ”

"Good!" The foreign affairs officer was also very concerned about this matter, and hurriedly got out of the carriage, ran over to stop the official, muttered a few words, and then hurried back.

Zuo Shaoyang had already gotten out of the car and was looking up and down at the big prince.

The foreign affairs officer said: "The venerable king of the law has inquired clearly, the eldest prince offended the Tibetan envoys, and the king was furious and decided to behead him!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang nodded, and walked over in the rain, the prison officer had already learned Zuo Shaoyang's identity from the foreign affairs officer, the people of the Western Regions respected ordinary disciples very much, not to mention the Dharma King, even if it was not from his own country, he was also very respectful. Because they often represent the gods, and the ancients had a very strong reverence for the gods.

Therefore, the warden hurriedly bowed down and saluted.

Zuo Shaoyang walked straight to the eldest prince, stared at him, and said slowly: "Your name is that Nanlisi?" ”

The eldest prince was taken aback, before meeting this person was very young and light, with a bare head and wearing a Han brocade robe, he didn't know what he was doing, and said in Tibetan: "Exactly! Who are you? ”

Da Longxin followed Zuo Shaoyang's and was busy translating on the side.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "I am the Dharma King of Zhangxiong Gangren Buche Mandala, my name is Zuo Shaoyang. I'll ask you a question, and if you answer it truthfully, I might be able to save your life! ”

The eldest prince was even more surprised when he heard Darongsin's translation, but the Dharma King has the highest status in Bon, and his mana is naturally the strongest, not to mention the Dharma King from Zhangxiong, the birthplace of Bon. The eldest prince thought that he was already dead, and he couldn't think of a desperate situation, so he nodded hurriedly and said, "My Majesty, I will definitely answer truthfully." ”

"I heard that you offended the Tibetan envoys and were pushed out and beheaded, I want to know, do you regret it?"

"What's there to regret?" The eldest prince said loudly, "The Tibetans have made an alliance with us, that is ill intentions, they will destroy us one by one!" My father doesn't believe me, let me apologize, I don't, I said to my father, you can kill me, but, please hang my head on the city gate, I want to see Tubo destroy our country of Domi with my own eyes! ”

Zuo Shaoyang listened to Da Longxin's translation, nodded slowly, turned around and walked to the prison officer and said in a deep voice: "Don't execute it first, I will go to meet the king of your country now, and I will explain to him the reason why I can't kill the prince." You await the king's new command. ”

Da Long Xin hurriedly translated to the prison officer, who actually felt that it was inappropriate to kill the prince for the sake of a Tibetan envoy. It happened that King Zhangzhung interceded, so he naturally waited for the news, and hurriedly bowed down to agree.

Zuo Shaoyang and they entered the palace.
