684 Tibetan monarchs
"Zampu, a beacon fire has risen in the west."
"O Zampu, a beacon fire has risen in the east."
"Beacon fires also rose in the south and north."
"Yu Zampu, General Zampo has led 3,000 elites to help"
"Report! The attack on Lobsang Monastery, the disappearance of Princess Tsangmun Saimaga, the murder of King Lunge Venerable, and the death of 12 other believers and 48 soldiers. ”
When the news of the beacon tower burning one by one spread to Songtsen Gampo in the palace, since the accident in the Lobsang Monastery of Zhilu Dao, Songtsen Gampo's face has always been iron-blue.
Although it was said that it was thoroughly investigated, and the divine bird Sea Holly was sent to spread the information, Songtsen Gampo still had some unhappiness in his heart: Tubo was originally an eventful autumn, and now so many things have happened, it feels as if there is an invisible hand, which has been controlling all this, but he has no clues, the previous unsolved case has not been solved, and now there is such a big mess, not only is it exciting to make a heart-wrenching sacrifice stillborn, but even his own sister is missing, all of this is too weird.
Those in power have a desire to control, whether it is civil and military officials, the army or all kinds of secret departments under their control, all in order to maintain their control over the country, the people and the territory, when someone obstructs or endangers his control, that is, threatens his rule, this is equivalent to touching his "reverse scale", and then the person in power will be furious and will try all means to maintain his authority and interests.
And now, Songtsen Gampo feels that the development of the situation has been out of his control, with a helpless look on his face and a sense of depression in his heart, and he is a little suspicious in his heart that it is the handiwork of the Tang Dynasty, but no suspicious people have been found on the border, and there are no clues in Tubo. There is no news from the fine work of Datang, because the border is blocked, the fine work of Datang cannot send back the news, and the fine work of Tubo is also facing the same difficulties.
Songtsen Gampo walked around the hall with a gloomy face, and when the ministers and cronies saw it, they all lowered their heads and did not say a word, and no one dared to squeak.
That is, confidants, in the eyes of the master. It is also divided into three points and nine grades, some in the eyes of the master, it is negotiable, some can be serious, and some are only worthy of work, such as Qinling or Ludongzan here, he will definitely dare to persuade Songtsan Gampo. But these cronies at the moment have not yet reached a level.
Songtsen Gampo wanted someone to talk to. found that it was as if no one could be found: on Qinling guarding the frontier, Lu Dongzan in order to confuse the Tang Dynasty. So far, life and death are uncertain, his sister was personally ordered by himself to be placed under house arrest in Lobsang Monastery, and now there is no news, the general has been poisoned, and Zanpo is leading the elite to hunt down the enemy, for him, as long as there is nothing to do with Zanmong Saimaga, there is no need to mobilize at all, and he will definitely make 100% efforts. And cronies such as Abose and Boshu were also assigned to Tibet by themselves to prevent people from making trouble, so that there was something around them. I can't seem to find anyone to talk to.
The feeling of loneliness for the first time.
Looking up at a few henchmen standing in front of the hall, Songtsen Gampo suddenly smiled and said: "The cold wind sent from the holy mountain can make the eagle unable to spread its wings. ”
I had a temper tantrum, but I didn't expect to see two old henchmen trembling in the cold wind, and I couldn't help but feel soft in my heart: those who can stand in front of me are all brothers who were born and died with them, and the brothers of the year, some of their lives have been lost, and some of them are no longer in their prime, so they have to cherish and appease.
"Zampu is really sympathetic to the old minister"
"Little Xie Lu, Lord Xie Zampu."
"Being able to use tea with Lord Zampu is really blessed by the gods of the Three Realms."
A group of ministers and lords are a little overjoyed, although many of them are from poor Ha Luha, but after these years of expansion and plunder, many people have a little pampered meaning, the blood and ferocity in the bones, has been corrupted a lot by brocade clothes and jade food and women, from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, in this cold winter, there is wine and food, of course will not refuse, of course, if there are a few more beauties, it will be better.
Songtsen Gampo gave an order, and soon, mare's milk wine, butter tea, meat, Hu cakes and other things, and set up a bonfire in the hall, and everyone chatted while eating.
"Great Zampu, it is said that the Tang Dynasty has built a lot of fortresses called cement on the border, which has caused great trouble to the activities of our Tubo warriors, and the lethality is also great, I wonder if this is true?" A white-bearded minister asked in a whisper.
As soon as the monarch and the minister sat down, what they talked about was naturally a major national event, and now that Tubo and the Tang Dynasty are at war, it will naturally be raised.
"yes!" Songtsen Gampo swallowed a large piece of tender lamb meat, and said helplessly: "Benzanpu is trying to discuss with you to see if there is any way to crack the tactics of Datang, there is an old saying in Datang, one person is short, two people are long, as long as there is a good strategy, there must be a reward." ”
As long as the Tang Dynasty does not allow the Tang Dynasty to train an army on its border to adapt to plateau operations, it can be in an invincible position, but when the emergence of the cement fortress slowly grinds off an advantage, once this advantage is lost, Tubo, which is at a disadvantage regardless of population and national strength, why should it fight with the Tang Dynasty? Besides, it is still in internal and external troubles, and Songtsen Gampo can be said to have tried his best.
In addition to inspiring people, in fact, he also secretly had a trend in his heart that the national fortune of Tubo was declining, and he held a blood sacrifice to pray for the gods of the Three Realms to re-favor Tufan and bless himself.
A young general immediately said: "Zampu, we can burn it with fire, use the lamb's oil-soaked torch, make the fire prosperous, burn that fortress, we will burn one by one, and see if the Tang Dynasty can be built quickly or if we can get up quickly." ”
Songtsen Gampo shook his head and said: "It's not proper, this thing is not invaded by water and fire, some warriors deliberately pry off a piece, burn it for a day, and it still can't be burned, as long as it cools down, it will immediately be as hard as ice on the holy mountain that will not melt for thousands of years, which makes people very headache." ”
"General, as long as we use that iron pry to pry its corner, and bury all the Tang dogs in it." It was a fat lord who spoke, with a big head and small eyes, and two ears wearing a big earring, which looked like a bad spirit, and when he spoke, there was a greedy light in his two small eyes.
"Difficult! Those cement, not as soft as the stone, not as soft as the rammed earth, on the contrary, it has the dual advantages of stone-like hardness and rammed earth-like fineness, that is, it is to pry, it is difficult to start, and those fortresses are not ornaments, there are arrow stacks and gun holes, and powerful arrows and crossbows are also erected. Songtsen Gampo shook his head and said.
"Zampu, why don't we use siege engines."
"Zampu, we've smoked it with smoke, just like in winter, and we've smoked out the mouse of Maodong."
"Dig a hole in the ground and get into it."
"We smashed it with a catapult."
Everyone began to discuss hotly, the methods said are strange, some people say that they use color to lure, and some people say that they change places, the east is not bright and the west is bright, starting from Longright, to see how many places Datang can take care of, etc., but most of them have not seen the power of cement, so they summed it up, there is no very good way, mainly, according to the intelligence from the front, it seems that it is not difficult for Datang to build these things, a fortress, it only takes three to five days to complete, which makes people unguardable, it is possible that there is no way to pass by this time, But after a while, you will find that it appears there, making people swallow it, but it is too expensive to spend, and it is not worth it.
After a seat, Songtsen Gampo is still very satisfied, although there is no solution, but also gained a lot of constructive opinions, some are worth a try, and so everyone has expressed their opinions, then smiled and said: "Three stinkers, a Zhuge Liang, one is short, two are long, your opinions are listened to, yes, many of them have merits, and they will be rewarded for meritorious deeds in the future." ”
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly nodded in thanks.
"Great Zampu, look at you with confidence, don't you already have a plan?" Someone in the crowd asked respectfully, and everyone turned their heads to see that it was a lord of Baluo, one of the staunch supporters of Songtsen Gampo, who supported him when Songtsen Gampo ascended to the throne.
Songtsen Gampo nodded and said: "This matter is not a secret, the general on Qinling early on the notice of the extraordinary cement, so early laid out the eyeliner, made a plan, and finally let him intercept a few trucks of cement and two masons who can use it, and now they have secretly transported the goods and people back to Tibet, as long as we understand the characteristics of the cement, know ourselves and know the enemy, we will not be defeated in a hundred battles." ”
"No wonder Zampu is so calm, it turns out that he has been prepared early in the morning."
"Yes, yes, yes, the general is really good, and such a secret thing can be obtained."
"The gods of the Three Realms bless me Tubo, and there is hope for revitalization."
Datang has a cement fortress, as early as the upper layer of Tubo spread, although the vast majority of people did not witness it, but also heard of its power, now I heard that a few cars of such materials have been intercepted, one by one is expected to be out of sight, as long as Tubo also has that magical cement, it is possible to offset the advantages of Datang, regain the advantage and dominance, it is just around the corner.
Suddenly, a Zanpu guard with a scimitar strode in, knelt down on one knee in front of Songtsen Gampo, and reported loudly: "Zunpu, Bahur Baihu Changmen asks to see you outside the gate." (To be continued......)
