Chapter 48: Chen Bing is in the wilderness

The time soon came to September of the twelfth year of the Tang Dynasty (753).

Outside the city, a large area of barley in the Jiqu River valley is about to ripen.

The breeze blew, and the golden barley fields swayed layer upon layer of wheat waves, and the rustling sound and the fragrance of barley in the air made the Tubo slaves who had just turned over happy from the bottom of their hearts.

It's been a good year for these slaves.

This large area of barley, but it is all theirs, I really couldn't think of it before.

Ever since the god Yala Chambord sent down an oracle, each of them has been given arable land, pastures, cattle, sheep and horses, and even houses in the city of Rakha, which in the past could only be lived by powerful lamas.

Most of the time, of course, they did not live inside the city, but in huts or tents outside the city.

Almost all the slaves were looking forward to making a large vat of tsampa after harvesting the barley, and then making a basket full of cheese and butter tea, so that they could have a fat year this year.

Thanks to the god of Yala Chambord, they are finally living a good life in Tibet.

There were also slaves who knelt down in the fields and kowtowed to the sky reverently.

But no one went to the temple to pay tribute, and no one went to the Jokhang Temple on a pilgrimage or to Kailash on three steps and one kneeling or nine steps to turn Mount Kailash, because the god of Yala Chambord had made it very clear to them that the true gods would not let their followers suffer any suffering, but would only allow them to enjoy joy in peace.

All the pilgrimage rituals full of suffering are forged by the lamas by the will of the gods, and the true gods do not manifest their greatness through such twisted rituals.

It is not the will of the gods to persuade the believers to pay tribute to the temple, it is the will of the greedy lamas to falsely convey the will of the gods.

Therefore, most of the Tibetan people are only grateful to the god of Yala Chambord in their hearts, and sometimes they really want to bow, but they will only bow spontaneously in the fields after finishing their farm work.

This is the true Yala Chambord mountain god.

In the past, they were all deceived by the lamas.

Lan Lin is such a Tubo person, and he is also a leader.

According to the oracle of the god of Yala Chambord, the divine envoy introduced the Lijia system, and all the adult Tubo people were separately organized into households, and the ten households were combined into one Jia, with the first head, and the ten Jiajia as one li, and the li long.

In the event of a neighborhood dispute, the head of the company can deal with it.

If there is a major incident, it will have to be decided by the officials of the law.

The officials of the city seem to be Han Chinese, but the god of Yala Chambord said that the Han and Tibetans are actually one family, both descendants of the same ancestor, but they speak different words and wear different clothes, but they are still one family.

Lan Lin was bowing to his barley field when his son hurried over.

His son, who was sixteen years old, looked like a child of seven or eight years old, and had his right arm cut off because he had lost a sheep while herding sheep for the noble lord, and had only one arm.

But now, Lan Lin is not worried about his son's future at all.

Now their family has mountains, land, pastures, cattle, sheep and horses, and they are afraid that they will have no food?

"Dad, Dad, someone's coming!" The son panted and reported, "Let's gather the strong men and go to fight outside the city." ”

"War?" Lan Lin couldn't help but be stunned.

The boy nodded and said, "Well, the people who came from the city have said that the army of Zampu has returned, and they will take back all the barley land, pastures, cattle, sheep and horses that the god of Yala Chambord has given us, and the houses in the city of Luo will also be taken back, and all the slaves will be cut off the hands and feet, and the human skins will be made into adult skin thangkas!" Wow, I don't want to be made an adult picthangka......"

At the end, the child cried out loud, for him, it was too terrifying to be skinned and made into an adult pi thangka.

"Wangmu, don't be afraid, with the blessing of the god of Yala Chambord, no one can take back our barley land, pastures, cattle, sheep, livestock and houses, not even Zampu." Lan Lin touched the child's head, and then said, "No one will peel our skin to make an adult skin thangka, even if the living Buddha comes, don't think about it!" ”

After a pause, he continued: "Go, follow me to gather the strong men!" ”

……

In Luo Some City, Li Siye said to "Cui He" with some worry: "Lu Tianshi, do you really want the Lord Chen Bing to be in the wild?" ”

Li Zuoguo, Cen Shen, Lu Wen and other Tang army generals also threw puzzled looks at Cui He, and they couldn't figure it out, although Luo Some is not a strong city, but it is also a big city, since there is a city to defend, why fight with the Tubo army? Wouldn't it be better to use the walls of the Luo to consume the military strength of the Tibetan army?

Cui Hedao: "There are two reasons, one is to keep the barley that is about to mature, and the other is to train the soldiers. ”

Li Siye glanced at the golden barley fields on the hillside outside the city, and then said: "In order to keep the barley that is about to mature outside the city, it is understandable, where does the training start? ”

Cui Hedao: "Of course, it is to train the Tubo People's Army. ”

In Lu Xiaoning's plan, the Tibetan people's army occupies an important position.

Two years later, the Anshi Rebellion broke out, and it was difficult for the 24,000 Anxi army alone to defeat the 180,000 rebels in An Lushan, not to mention that the Anxi army could not all go back, so it was necessary to add the Tibetan people's army.

In fact, in the past few months, Cen Shen has been compiling and practicing according to Lu Xiaoning's intentions.

The implementation of the Lijia system for all the Tibetans around the Logos was only the first step, and the second step was to conduct training in mounted archery, and it was trained according to the standards of the Mongol cavalry.

To put it bluntly, Lu Xiaoning wants to build the Tubo People's Army into a Mongolian cavalry.

The Tibetan people's riding and archery foundation is actually good.

Of course, just the tactics are similar to the Mongolian cavalry, and the military discipline and style are definitely not, Lu Xiaoning will let Cen Shen instill the concept of the Han family into every Tubo militiaman, and also tell all the Tubo soldiers that all the children of poor families in the entire Tang Dynasty are their brothers and sisters, and their relatives.

Only in this way will the Tibetan People's Army enter Guanzhong and even quell the rebellion in Guandong in the future, so that it will not harm the villages, and will even help the Han people in Guanzhong and Guandong in turn, help them resist the exploitation and oppression of the powerful gentry clique, and then forcibly promote the agrarian revolution in Guanzhong and Hebei will have a guarantee of force.

All in all, the Tibetan People's Army occupies a very important position in Lu Xiaoning's plan.

But these things, Lu Xiaoning will never tell Li Siye and Li Zuoguo.

Since we want to build the Tibetan People's Army into an elite, now is a good opportunity to train the troops.

First of all, the slaves of Tibet have actually received a certain amount of training since they were children, and many times, the Tibetan army will drive the slaves to act as cannon fodder to attack, so many slaves have certain military skills and have also fought.

In other words, the more than 300,000 slaves in the law were never farmers who had never touched a knife.

Secondly, the hundreds of thousands of Tibetan troops who returned from Jishi Mountain had just experienced a long-distance rapid march of nearly 2,000 miles, and their horses had lost fat, their soldiers were tired, and the logistics were estimated to be very hidden.

Last but not least, Shang Jiexi, the chief general of the Tubo army, would never have thought that the more than 300,000 slaves in Luo had completely fallen to the Tang Dynasty, but would only think that these slaves were forced by the pressure of the Tang army to contend with his army, so as long as he led the garrison to attack, the Tubo slaves would immediately defect, and no matter how bad they were, they would be crushed at the touch of a button.

However, the final truth will teach Shang Jiexi a cruel lesson.

At that moment, Cui He said in an unquestionable tone: "It's decided." ”

Although Li Siye still couldn't figure it out, since Lu Tianshi had already made a decision, he wouldn't say anything more, no matter what, it was a decision made by Lu Tianshi.

What's more, Lu Tianshi hasn't missed it yet.

I probably shouldn't be wrong this time.

The next group of Tang troops drove out of the city and began to form a formation with the city on their backs.

Then, one after another of the Tibetan people's army converged in all directions.

These Tibetan people's armies are like a trickle, but when thousands of trickles converge, they become a big river.

In the end, more than 300,000 slaves liberated by the Tang Army rushed over.

These more than 300,000 slaves were divided into six phalanxes, behind the six Tubo phalanxes, there was the long snake formation of the Tang army, and behind the long snake formation of the Tang army, there was the city of Luo.

This formation is a proper way for the Tang Army to use Tubo slaves as cannon fodder.

Only the Tubo slaves who were in the wilderness knew from themselves that they were not fighting for the Tang army, but for the barley, for the cattle and sheep, for the cultivated land and pastures, and for their parents, wives and children.
