Gesang returned to the mansion, full of anger and depression with nowhere to vent, so he picked up the vase and threw it on the ground, with a loud bang, and the beautiful vase was shattered. The maids were startled. Gesang kept throwing the vases one after another, until he threw all the vases in the living room, and his emotions calmed down. He walked over to a chair and sat down, his face thoughtful and uncertain. ……

The great battle between the Tibetan Emperor and the Tibetan Emperor's uncle continued. Songgan held firmly, relying on the steep mountains and rivers to hold out, the Tubo Central Army continued to attack, although the strength of the opponent was several times that of the opponent, but because the terrain was very favorable to the defenders, the attack lasted for nearly three months, and in the autumn, still did not make any great progress. The Tibetan Emperor sent troops to attack Songgan on the one hand, and on the other hand, he pleaded with Fan Yong, and he put all the blame for his treachery on Songgan, and assured Fan Yong that as long as Songgan's rebellion was put down, he would continue to fulfill the previous agreement with the Ming Dynasty. Soon after, Yang Peng's reply was sent to Luo Zhi, who understood the Tibetan Emperor's explanation and hoped that he would resolve the rebellion as soon as possible. Emperor Tubo was originally worried that the Ming Dynasty would take advantage of this time to suddenly send troops, but now he got Yang Peng's reply, and received information from the border that the Ming army had not moved any movement, and he couldn't help but feel relieved, and immediately transferred the forces originally used to defend the Ming army to the south, in order to quell the rebellion as soon as possible.

The back garden of the Bianliang Palace. Yang Peng was enjoying the wonderful time after dinner with his wife and concubines, when Jiang Li hurriedly came and said to Chen Xiao; "Yang Peng, Chief Yang Yanzhao has sent news from Xiliang that there are signs of mobilization of the Western Liao army!"

Yang Peng frowned and said, "Xiliao? Are they fed enough to fight us at this time? ”

Jiang Li handed the report to Yang Peng and said, "Your Majesty, the report is here." ”

Yang Peng took the report, the report has been opened, this is transferred from the cabinet, indicating that the report was not a red report when it was sent, so it was first sent to the cabinet, and after the cabinet read it, it was forwarded to Yang Peng.

Yang Peng opened the report and read it, and the report said that the Liao army outside the pass was being mobilized, with a scale of about 100,000, and the army had gathered in Datun City, south of the desert. Yang Peng's heart moved, and he muttered: "No wonder Yang Yanzhao didn't send a red report, it turns out that Xiliao is not aimed at us at all." "Datun City is in the south of the desert, eight hundred miles away from Yumen Pass, but close to Tubo, Xiliao gathered heavy troops here, it can be said that Sima Zhao's heart is known to passers-by!

Looking at the approval of the cabinet at the back of the report, the cabinet's view is indeed the same as its own.

Yang Peng walked to the lake with his hands behind his back, looked at the sparkling lake and thought. At this time, Yang Rui was messing around with his brothers, and Chai Yonghui whispered to several children: "Be quiet, your father is thinking about things!" The children immediately quieted down, and Yang Rui stopped shouting, but expressed her meaning to her brothers with a look of great interest.

That night, two strong men dressed as Jianghu people walked into the gate of the palace under the guidance of the guards. These two people, the one on the left, who is as strong as a black bear, is called Zhao Xiong, who is the master of the Zhongjing Dart Bureau, and the one on the right who is very tall and has a strong temperament is called Yan Ping, who is the master of the Yanjing Dart Bureau.

As soon as the two walked into the door, they saw a beautiful and heroic female general coming towards them, and they couldn't help but feel that their eyes lit up. immediately realized that the identity of the other party must be unusual, and immediately bowed his head.

The guard who led them first bowed to the female general, "My subordinates meet the Grand Commander!" "The person who came was Jiang Li, the commander of the palace's pro-army, and she also had an identity, she was Yang Peng's concubine, but her subordinates generally called her an official position.

Zhao Xiong and Yan Ping were shocked when they saw the guards calling the female general the commander, and hurriedly bowed to them: "The grass people meet the commander!" ”

Jiang Li glanced at the two of them and asked, "You are the Zhao Bureau Master and the Yan Bureau Master, right?" The two said together, "Yes." Jiang Li said: "Come with me, Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time." The two agreed, and when they saw that the other party turned around and walked ahead, they hurriedly followed.

After a while, the two followed Jiang Li into the imperial study. Jiang Li stopped, and the two of them also hurriedly stopped, only to hear Jiang Li whisper: "Your Majesty is in front." Although both of them were heroes who licked blood from the knife edge, when they heard this, they couldn't help but get nervous, and bowed together: "The grass people have seen Your Majesty!" Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! Immediately, I heard the voice of a man above: "You are the Zhao Bureau Master and the Yan Bureau Master." No need to be polite. The two of them quickly thanked them, straightened their waists, and saw a heroic young man sitting behind the bookcase with a smile, and couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, his face showed excitement, and secretly said: This is His Majesty the Emperor!

Yang Peng asked, "How are the things entrusted to you by the cabinet done?" ”

Zhao Xiong hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Back to Your Majesty, our Zhongjing Dart Bureau has gathered two thousand good players, just waiting for Your Majesty's order." Yan Ping also said: "Our Yanjing Dart Bureau has also gathered two thousand good players, and now they have all arrived in Bianliang, just waiting for His Majesty's order." In addition, the 20,000 good players gathered by the dart bureaus in other places have also arrived in Bianliang. ”

Yang Peng asked, "Do you know what the task is?" ”

Zhao Xiong said: "The specific task is currently known only to the two of us, and the others only know that this time the big task is led by the imperial court, and they don't know what the specific content is." ”

Yang Peng nodded and said, "You can act." Go to Chengdu in batches immediately, and Lord Yang Guihua will arrange for you to give further instructions. The two of them clasped their fists and promised.

Yang Peng stood up and walked in front of the two. Yang Peng glanced at the two of them, "The people in your dart game lick the blood from the knife edge, all of them are brave and not afraid of death, I hope your performance this time will not disappoint me!" Zhao Xiong patted his chest and said loudly: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured!" Since we have accepted His Majesty's commission, even if we are broken, we will complete the task entrusted by Your Majesty! Yan Ping hugged his fists and said: "There are some things that the grass people don't know whether to say or not?" Yang Peng said: "Say it, don't have scruples." ”

"Yes. Your Majesty, we are different from the army, we have our own way of fighting, if we fight according to the army's methods of fighting, I am afraid that there will be problems, I am not sorry to die, I am afraid that I will miss Your Majesty's major affairs! Therefore, the grass people have the courage to beg Your Majesty, do not send men to command us, let us command ourselves. ”

Yang Peng glanced at Yan Ping deeply and said with a smile: "There is some truth in your thoughts. After a pause, "In this way, Yan Ping will be the commander, Zhao Xiong will be the deputy commander, and the two of you will command these dart divisions." The two were overjoyed and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Your Majesty is wise! ”

Yang Peng raised his right hand and said, "I have something to emphasize. Your actions this time are not to protect a certain businessman as usual, but to serve Yan Yun. Therefore, there are some basic military rules and taboos of Yan Yunjun, you must keep in mind. First of all, you must not kill people without cause, you must not plunder goods and goods, and you must not bully women. Can you do it? ”

Zhao Xiong hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry!" These things are also taboos in our dart game, and we will never dare to commit them! Yan Ping nodded.

Yang Peng said to the two: "Yan Ping is in charge of the military attack, Zhao Xiong, you are in charge of military law, if someone dares to defy the law, no matter who it is, you can correct the law on the spot!" The two of them clasped their fists and promised.

Yang Peng said: "If you don't have any problems, go down." The two bowed in agreement, exited the imperial study, and were led by the guards towards the outside of the palace.

The figure at the door shook, and Han Bing, Ye Yu Guanyin, and Ye Lu Hanyu came in. Ya Yu Guanyin asked, "Big brother, have you seen those two bureau masters?" Yang Peng nodded and said, "I have ordered them to leave for Chengdu tomorrow." ”

Yelu Hanyu frowned and said, "Big brother's move this time can be said to be unique!" It's just that I'm a little worried! ”

Han Bing nodded sympathetically and said, "Actually use civilian power to conduct military operations. This is really reassuring. ”

Ya Yin Guanyin said: "I don't think there will be a problem. These people are all brave, and they are stronger than our army in individual combat, and they don't care about their logistics, they are all responsible for the food and grass problems, and they don't have to worry about pensions, and we can save a lot of things and troubles. ”

Yelu Hanyu frowned and said: "Having said that, after all, it is a civilian force, and if it gets out of control and burns, kills and loots on the battlefield, it will be absolutely harmful to our big goal!" ”

Yang Peng smiled: "Don't worry about this. These people still know the severity, and the rules of their dart game are already strict, so I don't think what you're worried about will come up. Moreover, they are all Ming people, do they dare to disobey the orders of the Ming Dynasty? Aren't you afraid of sanctions? Don't they want to go back to Daming? So, there may be problems, but they shouldn't be a big deal. This time, let's test it out to see if my idea works! ”

Han Bing remembered something, took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Yang Peng, and said, "This is the information that Hua Xu transferred to the cabinet, and it came from within Tubo. Yang Peng didn't reach out to pick it up, and said, "Just say what is the matter." Han Bing said: "Tianzhu's 200,000 troops suddenly crossed the border with Tubo and entered Tubo not long ago, and the south of the Brahmaputra River is extremely critical!" ”

Han Bing showed a thoughtful expression. Ya Kannon said: "I think we should wait a little longer to consume the strength of all parties. Yelu Hanyu frowned and said, "I'm afraid that Tubo will collapse too quickly, in that case, we will be self-defeating!" Han Bing said: "This situation should not appear." Don't forget the protection of the Tibetan gods. Yelu Hanyu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said, "Yes, how did I forget about this?" Looking at Yang Peng, "It is difficult for our Ming army to adapt to the climate of the highlands, and it is definitely difficult for the people of Western Liao and Tianzhu to adapt to it." Although they are now taking the Tibetan by surprise, I don't think their offensive will last long. ”

Yang Peng glanced at the third girl and said with a smile: "Okay, let's wait a little longer." ”

The news of the civil strife in Tibet is no longer a secret, and the streets and alleys in Bianliang City, taverns and tea shops are talking about this matter. There are people who gloat, and there are also those who point out the country, and after all, it seems that they are watching a good show. As the princess of Tubo, Gesang was worried, and she couldn't sleep and eat, I don't know why she subconsciously felt that there seemed to be the shadow of Da Ming and Yang Peng behind this civil strife, she felt that this civil strife came too suddenly, too strange.

In Tibet, there is now a hustle and bustle. From the emperor and nobles to the ordinary serfs, they were all panicked and at a loss. No one expected it, the emperor didn't expect it, the ministers didn't expect it, and the nobles didn't expect that the situation would suddenly evolve like this! Xiliao is coming, Tianzhu is coming, and for a while, it seems that the whole world has come to fight against Tibet.

The Tibetan Emperor and the Tibetan Emperor had stopped the civil war and each mobilized their armies to resist foreign aggression. However, in a hurry, there were repeated defeats, the land continued to fall, and refugees continued to pour in from the south and from the north, and the situation was already dangerous for Tibet.

But news of a victory suddenly came from the south. Not long ago, Qu Cuo personally led an elite raid on the forward camp of the Tianzhu people, and the Tianzhu people were caught off guard by the rout of the whole army and were beheaded or innumerable. This news made all the Tibetan soldiers and civilians feel shocked, and they only felt that they saw a glimmer of hope in despair.

Immediately, the good news kept coming, and the offensive momentum of the Western Liao army and the Tianzhu army was gradually blocked, and finally stopped, and it was difficult to move forward.

Pibo City, Songgan Palace. When Song Gan heard the news that both the Tianzhu army and the Western Liao army had been blocked, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, raised his head, opened his arms, and said with a reverent face: "Thank you God and Buddha for blessing!" "He knows very well that the reason why his side was able to block the menacing Xiliao and Tianzhu was not because of how strong his combat power was, but because the other party was not adapted to the highland climate and could not exert his combat effectiveness, which was the protection of the gods!

Soon after, news came that the Western Liao army had abandoned the offensive and retreated. After this attack, Western Liao found that the plateau climate of Tibet was simply the natural enemy of their own army, and under the suppression of this climate, not to mention fighting, even ordinary marching became very difficult, and every day people fell ill and even died because of the water and soil. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the general of Western Liao immediately decided to lead the army to withdraw.

The retreat of the Western Liao army greatly relieved the Tibetan Emperor and his nobles, but Songgan became nervous. Because the Western Liao retreated, but the Tianzhu people had not retreated, they were still entrenched in the south, but the Tubo Emperor was able to free his hands, and the situation was even more sinister than before.

Songgan hurriedly sent messengers, hoping that the Tibetan Emperor would not attack under the current situation of foreign insults. However, the Tibetan emperor beheaded the messenger he had sent. He then ordered the army to turn around and force the crossing of the Brahmaputra River. Songgan was caught in a two-front battle, and the situation was precarious.

That night, while Songgan was looking at the map and thinking hard. Qu Zha, a trusted general, hurried in with a worried look on his face. Song Gan knew this subordinate the best, knowing that this subordinate had always been calm and calm, and it could be said that Mount Tai had collapsed in front of him and his color remained unchanged, but he actually showed such a frightened look at this time, obviously something very terrible had happened, and he couldn't help but get nervous in his heart.

"My lord, it's not good, the Tianzhu people have broken through the Laju Temple, and the lamas of the Kaqu Temple have surrendered to Tianzhu!" Qu Zha said urgently.

When Songgan heard this, he was shocked. The Lahu Temple and the Kaqu Temple are the barriers to the southwest and south of Pibo City, and the loss of these two places means that the southern line of Pibo City is completely lost, and Pibo is completely under the threat of the Tianzhu people.

Matsugan forced himself to calm down and sat back in his seat, thinking about the immediate countermeasures. Now the situation can be said to be extremely critical for him Songgan, the Tianzhu people have torn the defense line on the southern front, and the imperial army is pressing on the north bank of the Brahmaputra River and constantly attacking, their own side is like being in an avalanche, and they may be crushed at any time!

Qu Zha said: "My lord, we only have a glimmer of life now!" ”

Songgan immediately raised his head and asked, "Do you have a clever plan?" ”

Qu Zha swallowed his saliva and said, "My lord, in this situation, if there is no foreign aid to help, we will only have a dead end!" Song Gan was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked, "What do you mean by this?" Qu Zha said: "If the adults ask Daming for help, Daming will definitely not sit idly by!" Song Gan was shocked, shook his head and said, "No! Absolutely not! Asking Daming for help is tantamount to luring a wolf into the house! When the Ming army comes in, it will not go again, and Tubo will no longer exist at that time! Qu Zha hurriedly said: "My lord, the emperor doesn't care about Tibet, why should my lord care!" Are adults willing to die without a place to be buried, and are they willing to have their wives and children killed by the Tianzhu people or the emperor? Songgan looked overwhelmed. Qu Zha said: "My lord, asking Daming for help is the only way out!" ”

Song Gan looked embarrassed, shook his head and said, "I, I want to think about it, think about it!" Maybe you don't have to ask Daming for help! Qu Zha was very depressed, and only felt that the adults were too stupid and loyal.

Songgan looked at Qu Zha and said, "You give me a way, I don't need to ask Daming for help, I can get through the current crisis!" ”

Qu Zha sighed and said, "There is a way, but I don't know if it's useful or not." "Say it quickly!" Qu Zha said: "Now that the southern front has collapsed, simply don't garrison the Brahmaputra River, and withdraw all the troops into Pibo City." ......" Songgan said in surprise: "In this way, wouldn't the emperor's army be able to cross the Brahmaputra River?" ”

Qu Zha said: "That's it. After the emperor's army crossed the Brahmaputra River, it would inevitably march to Pibo City, and the Tianzhu people would naturally march to Pibo City. The two armies will meet outside the city of Pibo......" When Songgan heard this, he understood Qu Za's intentions and said excitedly: "Good plan! This is a ploy to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf! When the Tianzhu people and the emperor's army meet outside the city, a big war will surely break out! At that time, our army will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and sit and reap the benefits of the fishermen! Well, great! ”

Qu Zha said worriedly: "If it is a fight, it will naturally be the best." I'm afraid they won't be able to fight. If that's the case, we're in a desperate situation! Songgan frowned, then shook his head with great certainty: "No! This will not happen! They're going to fight! This is like two tigers fighting for food, how can they give up! Then he said to Qu Zha: "Immediately send me an order to withdraw all the troops into the city of Pibo!" At the same time, evacuate as many supplies and people as possible into the city! Qu Zha answered the promise and ran down.

The entire south bank of the Brahmaputra River was in chaos, the army and the people were retreating towards Pibo City in a panic, and the cries and shouts were loud, and the air was filled with an atmosphere of unease.

On the north bank, the general of Pingxi, Songhe, found the chaos on the south bank, and although he didn't know what was going on, he felt that the time had come. An all-out offensive was immediately ordered. The Tibetan army rushed to the south bank on various rafts, but did not meet any resistance and landed in one fell swoop. Songhe was overjoyed to see that the army had landed on the opposite bank in one fell swoop, and immediately ordered a large army to cross the river, while the forward troops who had crossed the Brahmaputra River in advance swept all the way forward. Songgan, who was standing on the city wall, saw the smoke billowing from the north from a distance, and couldn't help but get nervous.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
