And in April of the seventh year, the king of the Ming Dynasty took the capital of Anxi to protect the general Pibo and the general of Angcheng, and each set up the captains and deputy captains of the school, and led the hundred households and eyes of Zhuqiang. Bai Ye Lixun is the general of Pibo, Jiang Nan is the general of Angcheng, and Bai Xian Lingbo is the general of Qinghai.

-------------------- Introduction

"Nibra ......," said Ye Lixun, standing on the southern slope of the snow-capped mountains (Himalayas) and looking eastward, in the sunlight, he could see in the distance a valley looming in the shining light of the snow-capped mountains, like the legendary kingdom of heaven.

"Yes, Captain, it's the Nibore, at least that's what they call it." Ju Zanlu cautiously bent down and stammered in a stammering reply in Dang Xiang Qiang. He was a distant relative of the Bun Zampu, who had been executed by Ye Lixun, and the grandfather of the Bun Zampu had taken the throne from the great-grandfather of Ku Zanlu, who had since become the most discriminated against tribe of the people. In order to make a living, Ku Zanlu's grandfather and father had to go around doing business, going to Ma'er Dare Qiang in the east, Sun Bo Ruqiang and even Dangxiang Qiang in the north, and Nibora in the south. Because of this family background, Ku Zanlu learned seven or eight languages, no, seven or eight languages, including Dangxiang Qiang and Nepalese, so he became Ye Lixun's guide and translator.

At the beginning of spring in February of the sixth year of Yonghe, Ye Lixun left 3,000 Xiqiang cavalry to continue to guard Pibo and Jiangwen City, and gathered 2,000 Xiqiang cavalry and 1,000 Baoji, Ji and other Shannan Qiang cavalry, a total of 3,000 cavalry. Led by Kutsan Lu, along the Lamun (present-day junction of Tibet and Sikkim) to the mountain pass, then to Nepal.

"It's like a wonderland." Ye Lixun suddenly turned his head and said in a blunt official language to Li Bu, who joined the army, and Jiang Sui, the pastor of the army.

Li Bu smiled and nodded: "Walking through the treacherous snow-capped mountains and snowfields, it is a bit like two lives to suddenly see such a beautiful scenery. His face was as red as Jiang Sui, it should be a plateau hypoxia reaction. Although they are all from Longxi, they cannot be compared with the Dangxiang Qiang people who have lived on the Hequ Snow Field since they were children. You see, Ye Lixun and others rode horses over snow-capped mountains and crossed the plateau, as if they had crossed flat land. And Li Bu and Jiang Sui and other soldiers and missionaries were panting like cattle, and more than a dozen of them had already slept by the Zangqu River because of a sudden illness.

The knowledgeable Jiang Sui suddenly turned to another topic: "I heard that this Nibhara is the hometown of the Buddhist Buddha. ”

Ye Lixun's eyes lit up, and his left hand involuntarily touched the falling Saint Sect Yin Yang Fish Chain Pendant on his chest. He asked repeatedly, "Pastor Jiang." Is this true? ”

Jiang Sui took a deep look at the fanatical Saint Sect believer in front of him. Then he said slowly: "I have read the Buddhist scriptures translated by the Central Plains, and said that the Buddhist Buddha was born in the North Tianzhu Land Nibrata, and the pronunciation is very similar to what the guide said, it should be here." ”

When studying in seminaries, missionaries of the Holy Religion always have to read books on Buddhism, Taoism, and other religions as "negative teaching materials" to make comparisons. Moreover, Jiang Sui was interested in Buddhist doctrine before believing in the Holy Religion.

Ye Lixun lowered his head and thought about it. couldn't help but have a stronger smile on his face, and he saw that the heart of Ku Zanlu next to him was getting colder and colder. The demon that eats people's hearts is terrible, but it is terrible for "ordinary people" to kill thousands of people without talking or laughing.

"Do you see any tribal cities up ahead?" Nori asked the spies who had come back from the front.

"Lord Huixiao, there are several small cities in front of you, surrounded by dozens of tribal people. The leader of the head people there should already know of our arrival and is gathering his men. ”

Hearing this, Ye Lixun shouted loudly: "Ghost Gang Zhong, Fu Di! The commander of the Xiqiang cavalry, Gui Jiaozhong, and the commander of the Shannan Qiang cavalry, Fu Di, immediately responded: "Arrived!" ”

"That's what you swift soldiers do." Ye Lixun said loudly. The two hurriedly answered, and then hurriedly rode away.

After it is arranged. Ye Lixun waved his hand and said, "Keep going." ”

The more you walk down the hill, the warmer it becomes. The snow melts from the snow-capped mountains and merges into countless small springs and streams. It flows into this valley and watered it with greenery.

Just as Ye Lixun and his troops were slowly riding their horses in this valley that was completely different from the snow-capped mountain plateau, a high bowl suddenly sounded in front of him. Suddenly more than 1,000 people scattered. These people were either wearing tattered leather robes and holding spears, or they were sitting on horses with swords in fine robes, looking at Ye Lixun and the others with uncertain eyes. At the front is a tall, thin man in his thirties.

"Ku Zanlu, go and ask, who is in the way?" Ye Li Xun continued to look at the surrounding snow-capped mountains and valleys, and said to the guide Ju Zanlu.

Ju Zanlu hurriedly stepped forward and muttered to the tall and thin man for a while, and then came back and said, "The one in front of you is the head guard here, named Jia Di Shenan. He also asked the lord why he had come to lead the army. ”

Ye Lixun nodded and said, "We're here to rob Xiumei, so let's take a look." ”

After saying this, Kuzanlu came back and said, "Jadishenan said that this is already the border of the country of Nepal, and told us to hurry back to our original place. ”

He returned to his place and asked him to ask me if he would say yes or not, and then turned his head to look at the majestic snow-capped mountains reflected in the sunlight in the distance.

"Back to your lordship, said Jadishenan, if you want to go any further, step on his chest." Ju Zanlu, who could speak, shrunk and said.

Hearing this, Ye Lixun, who was immersed in the beautiful scenery of the snow-capped mountains, was stunned for a moment and turned slowly

His eyes twinkled and he stared straight at Jadishenan in front of him. I saw Jadi on the mount, and his melancholy eyes couldn't hide the fear in his heart.

Norixun sat up straight on his mount and nodded to Jadisenan with a solemn expression. Before Jadi Shenan could react, Ye Lixun raised his hand, and dozens of bull trumpets immediately sounded. As the sound of the trumpets echoed through the valley, countless horses' hooves began to sound all around. The Qiang rode like a cloud of lightning, suddenly gathered, and rushed from both wings to the rear flanks of the Niboras. They brandished their sabers in their hands with a glittering light, and their mouths let out a "whoooh" roar. In the blink of an eye, they rushed into the Nibhara army, and soon crushed the Niboran soldiers, who were less than a thousand soldiers and peasants. And Jadi Shenan's head was also slashed down by the front of the ground, and then it was held high and flaunted.

King Richard of Guangyan City was shocked when he heard the news, and hurriedly mobilized 3,000 cavalry around him to meet the enemy, and fought a big battle on the banks of the Guangyan River. Under the command of Ye Lixun, the three thousand Qiang cavalry led the Nebori cavalry along the bank of the Guangyan River and made a big ***, so that the Nibal cavalry, which was still neat at the beginning, was suddenly scattered. Then he used his horn to divide the soldiers and horses into two parts, one with a bow and arrows, and continued to carry the Nebrasian cavalry. The other one made a bend. Wielding a saber at the tail of the Neborese cavalry was a fierce killing. After killing the Nibori cavalry, the army was in chaos. At this time, the Qiang cavalry in front turned back and killed the front army of the Nebrasian cavalry chasing after them. The Qiang cavalry killed both ends, and immediately killed the Nibal cavalry, which had much inferior individual quality, and was unable to parry.

King Richardy, who was far away from the battlefield, was startled, leaving behind the people and the royal family all over the city, and fled west to Kapilavi, but after a pause, he still felt uneasy, and continued to flee to Murrava further west.

Ye Lixun followed the advice of Li Bu, who joined the army. He did not enter the city of Gwangyan, nor did he move the people and the noble royal family, and continued his march westward after replenishing the supply of food and grass, and sent the nobles of the surrendered Dinichara to tell King Richardy that as long as he surrendered, he would guarantee the safety of his throne and his family.

In March, the army of Yelixun came to Kapilavi, the place where the Buddha was born. After a few bloody battles, the Shakya people here succumbed to the military might of Ye Lixun and expressed their submission.

Yeli followed his horse and accompanied Li Bu and Jiang Sui into the Acropolis of Kapila. The city was found to be almost desolate. All that remains are the remnants of the once majestic city walls, as well as the crumbling four gates, with gardens, markets, and tall towers. But now only the ruins and foundations of the ruined ground can be seen. There are also thousands of temple sites. From the huge foundation, you can see how majestic and vast these temples used to be, and now only the dilapidated stupa stands there, marking the former temple.

The entire Kapila Acropolis was overgrown with grass, there were few decent houses and temples, and there were less than a thousand monks and civilians, standing in the setting sun and watching Ye Lixun and his party indifferently. Seeing such a scene, not only Jiang Sui and Li Buchang sighed, but even Ye Lixun also felt a sense of vicissitudes.

The second day is the Holy Church's Sunday. Early in the morning, outside the Acropolis of Kapila, more than 2,000 Xiqiang horsemen who had joined the Holy Sect knelt down on one leg in the direction where the Huangling Holy Land was located. Presiding over the worship ceremony was the military pastor Jiang Sui, who stood under the banner of the anti-S holy religion with a white background and black colors, holding an anti-S wooden staff, holding the holy scriptures, and kneeling on one leg facing north.

As Jiang Sui's high-pitched voice sounded, the voices of more than 2,000 people also began to sing together: "

Darkness destroys my body and will,

Mercilessly striking and brutally oppressing,

Delusions have enslaved me for the rest of my life.

At this moment,

Don't hesitate,

Mindful of God's teachings and guidance,

Be the most fearless warrior,

Never be crushed by darkness.

Blow the horn of fate,

Forge ahead with my sad song!

My soul will return to the kingdom of God forever. ”

The expressions of the people were extremely reverent, their voices were solemn and low, and the melodious chant was like the incomparably hot hearts of more than 2,000 people, first echoing over the Acropolis of Kapila, and then rolling majestically to the north, over the snow-capped mountains, over the snowy fields, and flying towards the holy place in their hearts.

The people of the Kapila Acropolis were stunned when they saw this scene, and the Shannan Qiang cavalry standing guard next to them were all infected, and they also knelt on one leg and looked to the north reverently.

After the service, Ye Lixun asked Li Bu to write a fuji, and then ordered the best local stonemasons to "carve the characters according to the map" and engrave Li Bu's fuji on a large stone tablet.

On the third day, King Richard descended, and the stele was erected. Ye Lixun took King Richard and the leader of the Shakya tribe to the stone monument on the hill opposite the Acropolis of Kapila, and said to the two with a smile: "This is our testimonial after visiting the Acropolis of Kapila, and we have left it here as a memorial. ”

Seeing the disdain or resentment on the faces of the two of them after listening to Ku Zanlu's translation, Ye Lixun continued to smile and said: "I send someone to see the stele once a year, but if there is a little man-made damage, this living creature within a radius of five hundred miles will be slaughtered!" ”

After listening to Kuzanlu's trembling translation, King Richard and the leader of the Shakya tribe suddenly felt like they had fallen into an ice cave. Nodding in a cold sweat.

In April, Yeli led 3,000 soldiers and horses to escort King Richard back to Guangyan City, where he was stationed under Guangyan City. According to the agreement between Li Bu and King Li Chavi, the state of Nepal declared itself a vassal to the Jin dynasty far away from the world, and paid a number of "special products" every year; The Kingdom of Nepal is allowed to travel to the Jin Dynasty, and it is not allowed to make things difficult for interrogation; All merchants of the Jin dynasty and the goods they bought and sold were exempt from tax and their goods were guaranteed the safety of their goods; Compensate the "Jin Army" Qiang cavalry for a number of military expenses.

King Wei looked at the agreement, and there was only the first article of the retribution and the last article of the reparation office. The former loses face. The latter lost money. All of them made King Richard feel uncomfortable. But Norihiro widened. There was a drill, and King Richard had no choice but to agree.

But this is not over, Jiang Sui saw that the craftsmen of the Nepalese were exquisitely skilled, especially the stonemasons, gold and silver jewelry craftsmen, etc., and couldn't help biting Ye Lixun's ear, so that Ye Lixun had another idea. So an additional article was added to the agreement, and the country of Nepal sent hundreds of outstanding craftsmen to the Jin family.

King Richard had no choice but to agree. He began to vacate the treasury to compensate for the huge military expenses, and began to collect hundreds of outstanding craftsmen from all over the country, and gathered them together with their families in Guangyan Castle to prepare for the Jin Dynasty.

King Richard would not give up like this, and he secretly sent people to Beitianzhu to spread the word, hoping that the countries of Beitianzhu could send troops to drive away the bandits from the north and save Nepal from fire and water.

The relationship between the Nibharati and the Northern Tianzhu kingdoms has always been close, and King Richard was even related to the kings of the northern Tianzhu kingdoms, such as the Pochari and the Bales (both in the middle reaches of the Ganges). The nations heard of a band of foreign robbers. Immediately the same enemy. They sent troops one after another, and soon gathered 15,000 men, and drove north with high spirits.

Ye Lixun is not timid. He received the battle letter and agreed to a decisive battle by the Gandak River.

On the second day of the fifth month, the commander of the coalition army, King Po Zha Lizi, led the coalition army to the designated place by the Gandak River on time, preparing to fight to the death with Yeli Xun. But the coalition forces that were in full battle waited from morning to noon, and then from noon to evening, not to mention the Qiang cavalry, not even those riding donkeys did not see a single one. King Pocha Lizi knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly said to the deputy commander, King Polois, and the other kings: "I am afraid that there will be deception in it, so it is better to continue to march north at night, as long as our troops reach the city of Guangyan, we are not afraid that we will not be able to drive away these robbers." ”

King Polois nodded his head in agreement, and the other kings had no objection, and were about to arrange for the army to march north, when a herald rushed in with a crawling force, and reported in a mournful voice: "The city of Polois has been attacked by robbers from the north, and the defenders are about to be unable to resist. ”

King Polois's eyes suddenly darkened, and he ordered the whole army to return to his city. As soon as the other kings heard that the enemy had killed their own nest in the Ganges, they hurriedly withdrew their troops to help. King Bozha Lizi was unable to support it alone, so he had no choice but to withdraw his troops back to the city.

That night, the 5,000 army led by King Po Zha Li Zi was attacked on the road, and the 3,000 Qiang cavalry killed the 5,000 Bo Zha Li Zi army and captured the King of Bo Zha Li Zi alive. Then he attacked two more kings who were far away, broke their armies, and captured them alive.

When it was daybreak, Ye Li Xun roared away with the three kings, crossed the Gandak River in the same place, and went straight to the city of Guangyan, and King Richard saw that Ye Li Xun had returned after only two days and one night, and knew that he was overjoyed, so he had to be honest.

Ye Lixun wanted to coerce the three kings to negotiate with the eleven kingdoms of Northern Tianzhu, but the king of Polis did not allow it. Noriza sent Oni with 2,000 cavalry to burn the city of Polois to the ground, and finally forced the king of Polois to submit.

One of the two strongest kings of Northern Tianzhu became a prisoner, one succumbed, and the rest had to sit at the negotiating table together.

After a round of negotiations, the eleven kingdoms of Northern Tianzhu paid tribute to the Jin courtiers, compensated for military expenses, donated more than 1,000 craftsmen, and each sent a prince as a "proton" and so on.

In the middle of August, Ye Lixun took 3,000 Qiang horsemen, thousands of craftsmen and their families, and thousands of pack horses to return to Shannan from Lamen Road to Shannan.

In October, Ye Lixun returned to Pibo City, and then immediately reported to Zeng Hua, accompanied by twelve ministers. In November, the envoys passed through Ma'erkang Qiang to reach Baimaqiang, and in December the envoys were stopped at the Baimaqiang garrison. In the spring of February of the seventh year of Yonghe, the envoy finally went out to Yizhou, and then went straight to Chang'an from Hanyuan County, Yizhou, so it took a lot of trouble to reach Zeng Hua's hands.

Zeng Hua pointed to the good news and said: "These ministers were sent to Jiangzuo Jiankang urgently, which made the imperial court happy and happy, but do they know where these Northern Tianzhu Kingdom are?" ”

"It doesn't matter where he is, they just want to be happy." Hearing this great news, Di Pu was also in a good mood, and he opened his eyebrows rarely.

"This time, Ye Lixun has made a lot of money, but it is estimated that the money and those princes will not be able to reach Chang'an in a year and a half, which is worrying. There are also more than 1,000 good horses and hundreds of Shannan hounds. Not bad! Zeng Hua said happily, it seems that this Tubo is in his hands.

After a while, Park reminded: "The most important thing now is to consolidate the territory of Shannan, and we should reward meritorious deeds, send more officials and missionaries over, and digest it well." ”

Zeng Hua nodded yes, groaned and said: "It's better to be like this, I will protect General Pibo with the capital of Anxi, and govern Qiangtang and Shannan Zhuqiang; General of Liang City, with jurisdiction over Ma Erkang, Bowo, and Baima Zhuqiang; Set up Qinghai generals, jurisdiction over Hequ, Hetao, Bailan, Qinghai Zhuqiang, each set up a school captain, deputy school captain, divided into 100 households, me. Bai Ye Lixun is the general of Pibo, Jiang Nan is the general of Angcheng, and Bai Xian Lingbo is the general of Qinghai. All the military officers, captains, deputy lieutenants, and lieutenants were all selected, and they were all selected from among the officers who had made meritorious contributions in the Feiyu Army. ”

Everyone agreed, and they were ordered to go to work.

In the afternoon, the great victory of Shannan Qiang and Northern Tianzhu spread throughout Chang'an, and the Jiankang Imperial Court was ecstatic to report that the good news and the minister's table book were flying towards Jiangzuo.
