Chapter 107: Big Stick and Carrot

Longxing Temple is the Great Temple of Anxi, practicing Mahayana, not eating meat, and abstaining from women. Kong saw such a flower monk, obviously has broken the vows but is not ashamed, Ma Lan already felt a little strange, after returning to Anxi to Longxing Temple to personally relay Kong Jian's words, seeing the Han monk Fahai Monk whose status in Longxing Temple is second only to Kong Jian, Ma Lan is even more speechless.

This old monk claimed that he had never eaten meat, but Ma Lan couldn't believe it when he saw his weight of nearly two hundred catties.

After knowing the old monk's legal name, Ma Lan had the urge to beat him hard, but in the end he held back.

Longxing Temple is dominated by Han monks, and the monks have their own order, Kongjian gave up the position of the first seat, and the old monk Fahai automatically became the new head of Longxing Temple.

Driving away Lao Fahai, Ma Lan and Feng Changqing watched the offering portrait carved on the cliff wall together. Feng Changqing said: "Renjie, you want to use the Elephant King as a signboard, the idea is good, but there are still some problems in this." According to the old man, the role of the signboard of the Xiangxiong King is not as big as you think. ”

Ma Lan nodded and said, "Doctor, please tell me, I was going to ask you for advice on this matter." ”

Feng Changqing said: "The biggest enemy of our Anxi army is Tubo, and I have spent a lot of effort to understand Tubo, although I don't have too detailed information, but I can finally know a rough idea." The king of Zhangxiong, Li Mixia, lost his country, so the place was forcibly incorporated into Tibet, and the local Qiang people were not afraid of the Tibetan royal family. Since Lu Dongzan was the great theory of Tubo, he has always held a soft policy for Zhangxiong's hometown, which barely maintained his rule in Zhangxiong's hometown. ”

After Zhangxiong was merged into Tubo, the upper and lower Zhangxiong was divided into ten Dongdai by the abandoned sect, and the leader of the ten Dongdai was still the minister of Li Mixia, which was passed down from generation to generation. The reason why the Zhangxiong royal family has been able to launch rebellions repeatedly depends on the support of these people. These leaders have a large number of generals, and the Tibetan royal family is helpless, and every rebellion is only to drive out the Zhangxiong king's family, and these leaders generally do not pursue them as long as they bow down to them. If these leaders were to be destroyed, the price to be paid would be unbearable for the Tibetan royal family. ”

Ma Ling smiled: "They are all loyal ministers." In this way, if we play the sign of the Elephant Hung King, won't those leaders be willing to return to the wind? ”

Feng Changqing smiled bitterly and said: "The last rebellion of the Zhangxiong royal clan was a few decades ago, and time has passed, and it is unknown what the leaders of Dongdai are thinking now. However, Zhangxiong's hometown is the center of Qiangtang Bon, and the Qiang people here are the most repulsive to foreign Buddhism. Today's Tubo Zanpu De Zuzan believes in Buddhism to suppress Bon, the minister has a lot of jealousy, up and down Zhangxiong Ten Dongdai is the most pious area that believes in Bon, the leader of the Ten Dongdai is separated from the Zo De Zuzan, we got the card of the Zhangxiong King, it was an excellent opportunity, but it is a pity...... Alas! After speaking, he shook his head again and again.

Ma Luan's eyes flashed, and he understood what Feng Changqing meant, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that King Zhangxiong actually converted to Buddhism!" The Qiang people in Zhangxiong's hometown believe in Bon, and the Zanpu who believes in Buddhism is already on the same footing, and a king of Zhangxiong who has converted to Buddhism is bound to not be able to get the support of the leaders of the Ten Eastern Dai. ”

Feng Changqing nodded and said, "That's right!" If the monks hadn't converted to Buddhism, we would have a great chance. Now a king of Zhang-zhung who has converted to Buddhism, and wants to gain a foothold in the hometown of Zhang-zhung, who believes in Bon, I am afraid that it will be difficult, difficult, difficult! ”

"What the doctor said, in fact, I know it. I also told the bald donkey in this situation, and he claimed that there was no problem, saying that there was a way to convert the Qiang people in Zhangxiong's homeland. ”

"Renjie, this bald donkey can't even change the Xinghu of Anxi, and it is too difficult to expect him to change the Qiang people in Zhangxiong's hometown. He can say that, but we can't count on him. What we can rely on is our own strength. You must remember this when you arrive in Qiangtang! Feng Changqing said with a serious face.

Ma Lan smiled and nodded.

The plateau is sparsely populated, and there are less than 100,000 Qiang people in the entire Shiquan River Valley. When Songtsen Gampo was able to subdue the Zhangxiong people by force, why couldn't he himself?

After the killing, it is Huairou. He was not prepared to go up with a bodhisattva face, and the signboard of the Elephant Hung King was to be used, but that was after the Elephant Hung people were deterred. Without the backing of strong force, even if Li Mixia was resurrected, it would be impossible to gain a firm foothold in the land of Zhangxiong.

The stick and the carrot, that is also the stick in front, the carrot in the back, go up and give the carrot first, that's what an idiot does.

The signboard of the Xiangxiong King can at least make the Qiang people confused, whether there is a greater role to ignore it, if you want to gain a firm foothold on the Qiang Pond, the key is to rely on the strong bow and crossbow in the hands of the Han family.

……

Under Sangzhu Daban, the camp of the Tang army was completely covered with snow.

Everyone has adapted to this kind of weather. Anyway, even in the summer, it's cold enough here, and now it's November of the eleventh year of Tianbao, and it's just a cold word, for Tian Mingyuan and these people, it's really nothing.

The supplies brought from Pishan Town are enough to last until next summer, and there is nothing but boredom on this snowy mountain. Since the last time the Qiang people tried to climb the mountain, no Qiang people have come here, and the Qiang people in Nanshan have been driven out by the robes under the mountain.

It is said that the last incident happened, and it is said that the prince of Duyu Hou Duan was furious and scolded the general who did not camp according to the rules, and then the supplies that were transported to the mountain contained enough barbed wire. Now that three trenches have been dug around the camp in accordance with the requirements of the new army of Anxi, and all of them have been covered with sharp barbed wire, and the current camp can be said to be impregnable.

Even so, Tian Mingyuan didn't dare to be sloppy, he was an old and serious person, even in this snowy weather, he still asked the soldiers on duty to block the road outside, just shortening the time of each shift change.

"Take a good look at Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu go pee!" Team leader Han Lin patted the head of the soldier next to him and stood up with a Mo knife. In such a ghost weather, the power of the hard crossbow was greatly reduced, and everyone put the hard crossbow in the tent, only squatting here with a Mo knife.

"Boss, it's such a cold day, be careful that the guy freezes to death!" The soldier laughed.

"Lao Tzu, this guy can run horses on it, it's okay to pick a little lady and turn ten times, where can it freeze!"

The killers laughed, Han Lin was proud in his heart, and walked towards the leeward place with the Mo knife.

Last time, because of throwing heads, Tian Mingyuan was used for military law, but fortunately, the skin is thick and the injury has already healed. With the lesson of the last time, Han Lin really took the orders of the Anxi New Army to heart, and even if he came to pee, he did not forget to bring his own weapons.

Behind the rocks in the leeward place are buried the Qiang people who have been killed in the past few months. Han Lin walked behind the stone, and as soon as he took out the guy, he shivered with cold.

"What the hell!" Han Lin muttered, and just wanted to release it to his heart's content, when suddenly a fluffy snow on the ground actually flew up, heading straight for Han Lin's face.

Han Lin's vision was blocked, and he was shocked in his heart, and faintly saw a slender white figure scurrying up from the ground, and then he was punched heavily in the abdomen, curling up like a shrimp in pain.

Han Lin just wanted to shout, but suddenly another figure jumped up on the ground, and then there was a sudden pain in the back of his head, and the Mo knife in his hand could no longer be held, and the whole person fell down heavily.

Mi Xue glanced at Han Lin between his legs with a disgusted expression, turned his head and whispered, "Zhao Yang, help him put it back." ”

Zhao Yang twitched the corners of his mouth and protested, "Why me?" ”

Michelle snorted coldly, raised her boots and was about to step on them. Zhao Yang was startled, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop!" I'll put! I'll put! ”

Helping Han Lin stuff the guy back into the crotch cloth, Zhao Yang felt like he was about to throw up. But there is no way, this crazy woman can do anything, this killing talent is her own robe after all, if she is trampled by this crazy woman and cut off her grandchildren, the general will not be able to say it.

"We have the general's military order, so why do we have to avoid such trouble as them." Zhao Yang said in a low voice.

"We entered the Qiangtang, and these killings have not yet arrived. The general didn't want too many people to know about us, and revealing his identity was a last resort. Why alarm them if they can break through on their own? Mi Xue said coldly.

"If you don't want to reveal your identity, you shouldn't have gotten up just now. We've been hiding here for two hours, and it's not for nothing. ”

Michelle snorted and didn't speak. She didn't mind hiding on top of the Qiang corpses, but she couldn't stand being drenched in hot urine. After all, she is a woman, and some things are unbearable.

In this case, she naturally wouldn't say it to Zhao Yang. This young man is good at everything, but he is extremely annoying to look at her.

"We can't stay here any longer, and we'll leave now before it gets dark." Mi Xue immediately made a decision, shrunk her body and slowly moved towards the snow peak on the side.

"This dead woman is crazy!" Zhao Yang shook his head helplessly, and his gaze habitually fell on the Xinghu woman's full buttocks.

No wonder even the general wants to her, she's really a goblin who wants people's lives.

If you don't follow the road in such weather, it will be a big problem in case of an avalanche. This crazy woman is the only one who can do this, and she doesn't know how to save her life.

But it is precisely because of her that she was able to complete the preliminary task so quickly this time. Although it was a loss to three brothers, the loss would have been greater without her. None of the brothers who are still alive in White Rock Beach have not been saved by her.

Although Zhao Yang is not as good as Mi Xue, he is also a good hand among the new army spies after all. Glancing at Han Lin who was faint on the ground, Zhao Yang said in his heart that he was offended, and he also followed Mi Xue to the ground and moved in the direction of Snow Peak.

Their clothes were covered with a layer of robes made of solid color Xizhou Dalian, which was basically invisible in the snow. Relying on the cover of the mountain rocks, the two quickly left the position of the barracks and disappeared near the snow peak.
