Chapter 329: Counting Tibet

I don't know if it was because Kublai Khan was hit by several unexpected defeats before, or if he had other plans, and more than half a month passed. The Mongol army only besieged the city of Xiangyang but did not attack it.

Every once in a while, Kublai Khan would send some cavalry to disturb him, and Guo Jing would accordingly send the defenders in the city and a group of heroes to meet the enemy in batches, which could be regarded as training with the help of a small group of enemy troops.

The effect is still very good, those who are accustomed to fighting and killing in the rivers and lakes, but are not very familiar with the battle between the two armies, have this period of running-in, and they are gradually familiar with and adapted to the killing on the battlefield.

What's even more rare is that Guo Jing will stand on the city wall with Wu Dunru every time, take the opportunity to guide Wu Dunru in the way of using soldiers, and explain the knowledge in the "Wu Mu's Testament" in detail in combination with the actual situation, so that Wu Dunru has benefited a lot.

And Zhuge Lichuan and Zhu Ziliu are also very close to each other, always getting together to talk about the past and the present, discuss the major affairs of the family and the country, the situation in the world, learn from Wentao and Wuwu, and resourcefully and expediently.

It's just that Huang Rong is getting closer and closer to the production period, and she rarely shows up, and Guo Fu is also very busy taking care of Huang Rong wholeheartedly.

On this day, Wu Dunru was discussing with Zhu Ziliu that the Tibetan tribes had recently had a lot of dirt with Mongolia because of the Dalun Temple in the Great Snow Mountain.

The Mongol Empire was a tyranny, thinking that the Khorezm Kingdom had provoked Genghis Khan to send troops to fight because he had killed the caravan sent by the Mongols, which eventually led to the destruction of the country and the nation.

Now the Mongol envoys were killed and wounded on the territory of the Tibetan tribes, and only a few people fled back to Batu. In order to evade responsibility, Batu naturally will not truthfully explain and push all the responsibility to the other party.

The Tibetan tribes are a tribal alliance based on religious beliefs, and there have been Tubo teachers such as Gu Mozhi in the Dalun Temple of Daxue Mountain, although the status is not as good as in the past, but the influence in Tubo is still not small.

Therefore, I don't know how the Great Wheel Temple lobbied the ministries, in short, when the Mongol Empire sent an envoy group to hold them accountable again, the Tibetan tribes actually reversed the ambiguous attitude of showing weakness in the past, and it was rare to be a little tough. Negotiations between the two sides were thus deadlocked.

"We also need to work harder so that the Tibetan tribes and the Mongol Tatars can be completely opposed. It is better to fight, otherwise the Tibetan tribes will be subdued by the Mongols. The situation in Dali and the Southern Song Dynasty would be even more dangerous. Zhu Ziliu naturally knew the truth of cold lips and teeth, and analyzed the current situation with a straight head.

"Not bad!" Wu Dunru knew that if there was no accident, the Tibetan tribes would be sent by the Mongol general Kuoduan in a few years, that is, in 1244 AD, to summon one of the most influential religious leaders, the head of the Sasgar faction, Sasga Gadzhida.

In 1247, thanks to the efforts of Sasa Gadita and his nephew Phags-pa, he signed an alliance with Kuduan to annex the Tibetan tribes to the Mongol Empire.

And that Phags-pa is an amazing figure. This article has its own introduction.

Since the Tibetan tribes were annexed to the Mongol Empire, Dali had to face the Mongol Empire's army.

When Kublai Khan failed to attack the Southern Song Dynasty for a long time, he took the route of Tibet and first broke through Dali, and then let the Southern Song Dynasty suffer from the enemy when the Mongol Empire invaded. In the end, it ended up being a failure.

Wu Dunru was naturally aware of this history, so he also agreed that the Mongol Empire must not be allowed to easily conquer the Tibetan tribes.

Fortunately, the previous actions have gradually buried hidden dangers between Tibet and Mongolia, and if it is done properly, it will definitely allow the two sides to pinch each other. That might distract Mongolia a lot.

"I have reported this matter to the lord of the country, and I have sent capable men to the Tibetan tribes, and there is already a rift between the Great Wheel Temple and Mongolia, as long as I move a little, I will definitely be able to make them become a fire and water. Zhu Ziliu smiled, looking confident, it seemed that it had been arranged.

"I don't know if Uncle Zhu knows anything about the Tubo Sasgar faction's lord Sass Gajiadita and his nephew Paspa. Wu Dunru asked.

"I've heard a little. The two men are now famous in Tibet, but the exact circumstances are unknown. What's the matter?, is there something wrong with these two people?" Zhu Ziliu knew that Wu Dunru would not be untargeted, so he asked.

"The little nephew went to the Western Regions a few days ago, and I heard that among the Tibetan tribes, it seems that this Sassgar party has the greatest influence on the tribes, and it has surpassed the slightly declining Dalun Temple. And the head of the Saskan faction, Sasga Gadachita, and his nephew Phags-pa heard that they were close to Mongolia. I am afraid that in the future, if the Mongols exert their influence on Tibet through them, they will be able to quickly subdue the Tibetan tribes. Wu Dunru Zhengse introduced.

"I see!" Zhu Ziliu frowned when he heard this, paced back and forth in the hall, and after thinking for a while, he said: "In that case, I will inform the people who have infiltrated Tubo to start the study of the Sasgar Gang Zhida and Pa Si Pa immediately after completing the operation against the Dalun Temple. Seize the opportunity to try to destroy the relationship between them and Mongolia!" Zhu Ziliu quickly decided.

"I'll leave this matter to Uncle Zhu, but you don't have to be in a hurry, you need to figure it out slowly!" Wu Dunru advised.

"You don't need to worry about this matter, Uncle Shi, I have my own plans. As long as their relationship was divided, a religiously led Tibetan tribe would put up a frenzied resistance to the Mongol invasion, led by religions such as the Saskan school and the Great Wheel Monastery. Zhu Ziliu said confidently.

Wu Dunru didn't say much when he saw this, Zhu Ziliu, as the former prime minister of Dali, these methods were naturally played perfectly, as long as Wu Dunru pointed out the key problems, Zhu Ziliu would definitely be able to exceed the task.

Moreover, Dali and the Tibetan tribes live next to each other. They must be very familiar with each other, and I believe that Dali has also placed a lot of people in the Tibetan tribes, and they will be much more convenient to act than Wu Dunru, who is not familiar with the place.

After finalizing the affairs of Mongolia and Tibet, Wu Dunru finally put his mind at ease.

"Report to the gang leader! General Meng Hui sent someone to come and have a letter to deliver, Lord Lu and Guo Daxia took a look at it and asked me to send it over to the gang leader to see!" Lu Youjiao hurried over.

"Oh, General Meng Heng's letter, take it and take a look!" Wu Dunru was stunned for a moment, thinking that something unexpected had happened, so he hurriedly took the letter and looked at it, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that since Wu Xiuwen and Meng Heng brothers met, Guo Jing and Meng Heng, as the leaders of the two anti-Mongolian teams that had been friends for a long time, began to have frequent contact. The two sides exchanged news and cooperated with each other very tacitly.

Meng Hui, who was stationed in the land of Jinghu, heard that Kublai Khan's army was attacking Xiangyang City in the south, so he sent his eldest brother Meng Jing to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to help.

After learning the news that the friendly troops were coming to help, Wu Dunru was of course happy, and hurriedly went to meet Zhu Ziliu and the others. Unexpectedly, just halfway through, I got a thunderbolt from the blue. (To be continued.) )
