Chapter 109: Adanabo and Paspa
Chapter 109 Adanapo and Phags-Pa Chapter 109 Adanapo and Phag-Pa
It was only after another half a year that Cang Fei began to launch an attack on the Mongol army in Tibet.
The rule of Tibet at this time was very delicate, and it was originally governed by Genghis Khan's grandson, the second son of Ogedei.
Kuoduan's fiefdom was in the west of the former Western Xia Dynasty, mainly in the Hexi Corridor, and the station was Xiliangfu, and later he sent the general Dada Nabo to conquer the Tibetan region and include the Tibetan region in his rule.
After Cangfei captured Mobei Mongolia, Kuoduan died, and Cangfei took advantage of the situation to capture the Xiliang region, but did not attack the Tibet region.
Tibet refers not only to Tibet, but also to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which includes Tibet and Qinghai.
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the world's first plateau, and it is difficult for ordinary people to breathe, and it is very desolate there, and the roads are also very dangerous, and it is very difficult to attack.
If this were not the case, Cang Fei would have sent troops to attack Tibet a long time ago, after all, Great Qin was established in Guanzhong, which is close to the Qinghai-Tibet region.
Later, Cangfei annexed the Southern Song Dynasty and Dali, and Tibet was accessible from both Sichuan and Dali.
Previously, the threat of Great Qin was mainly in the north, and it had to face the attacks of Meng Ge and Kublai Khan, and it was not until after the capture of Mobei that it had the energy to deal with Tibet.
To attack Tibet, Cang Fei had been preparing for a long time, and he ordered the Tumeng troops everywhere to prepare in advance and attack from all directions at the appointed time.
Yeluqi set out from the Hetao region, entered Qinghai, and entered Tibet from the northeast.
Dawu Wu Dunru led his troops from Sichuan to attack Tibet from due east.
Xiaowu Wu Xiuwen started from Dali and attacked Tibet from the south.
Yeluqi and Xiaowu are both rising stars of the Tumeng Army, and after so many years of tempering, they can already be on their own.
These three troops, each with 30,000 troops, were drawn from the local defenders. It's a partial teacher.
Cangfei set out from Xinjiang and entered Tibet from the north.
There are not many troops led by Cang Fei this time, only 50,000 people.
Tibet's roads are treacherous. It is not suitable for a large army, and the Xinjiang region is very important, facing the Ilkhanate and the Kipchak Khanate, Cang Fei does not want to draw too many troops by himself, causing the local troops to be empty. Give the Mongols a chance.
......
Potala Palace, Lhasa, Tibet.
This was originally the former king of Tubo, Songtsen Gampo, in order to marry Princess Chizun and Princess Wencheng, and it was the imperial palace of Tubo.
Today, it is the residence of the Mongol general Adanabo.
Adanapo was originally a subordinate of Kuduan, and after he led his troops to conquer Tibet, he stationed here.
Xiliang is far from Lhasa, and Adanabo, although nominally subordinate to Kuduan, has a high degree of independence in fact.
When Kuduan died, Kublai Khan was defeated. Adanabo had no one to control him, but unfortunately he was not a descendant of Genghis Khan, and he was afraid of the opposition of his subordinates and crusade with other Mongol tribes, so he did not dare to claim Khan's independence.
At this time, in one of the palaces of the Potala Palace, Adanapo was holding a military council.
Adanapo sat in the first place, with a column of Mongol generals on the left, the first being Adanabo's lieutenant general, Jeman, and on the right was not a Mongol, but a row of Tibetans. The leader was a Tibetan monk.
"The Southern Barbarians have begun to attack, what do you have to do?" said Adanabo.
"Hmph! The Southern Barbarians are so arrogant that they dare to attack our Mongol Empire, and I heard that they are wantonly killing in Mobei. We don't share the sky with him. Germaine said.
Later, many Mongolian generals all spoke angrily, and they all scolded Cang Fei and Tu Mengjun, looking like they wanted to eat Cang Fei's corpse.
"The Tumeng army defeated your Mongolian army in a row, and even Mobei was defeated by him, and the land north and south of the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions. It has become their territory, and now that the troops are being sent from all directions, can you really resist it?" said the Tibetan monk at the head of the right.
As soon as his words came out, the clamoring Mongolian generals were all dumbfounded, while the Tibetans on the right were worried and nodded secretly.
Adanabo's face remained unswerving, and his eyes narrowed as he stared at the Tibetans.
These Tibetans are all very prestigious people in Tibet, either senior monks of large monasteries or leaders of Tibetan tribes.
Buddhism is the state religion of Tibet, almost everyone in Tibet believes in Buddhism, and Tibetan monks and aristocrats rule Tibet together.
"Master Phagspa, don't you think we are no match for the Southern Barbarians?" said Adanabo with a cold expression.
Pasipa clasped his hands together and said, "What is the truth, in fact, you know very well the general, so why do you need the poor monk to talk more? ”
"Presumptuous! Basipa, if you are alarmist and affect the morale of the army, don't blame us for being ruthless. Germaine said.
Phags-pa sang a Buddha chant, ignoring Jemain's threat, while the Tibetan monks and Tibetan nobles below him looked worried, fearing that the Mongols would become angry and attack them.
Adanabo's expression was also very ugly, but he still held back his anger and waved his hand to sit down with Jermain.
After King Jinlun became the national teacher of Mongolia, Phags-pa became the leader of the Buddhists in Tibet, and after the death of the Golden Wheel Dharma King, Phags-pa was elected by the Tibetans as the new national teacher.
The martial arts of Phags-pa may not be as high as the Golden Wheel Dharma King, but Buddhism is superior, the believers are in awe of the Golden Wheel Dharma King, and the Pas-pa is respectful, and the status of the Tibetan Phags-pa is extremely respected, and the Tibetan people's love for him is still above the actual ruler of Adanabo.
If Adanapo made a move against Pasipa, the Tibetan people would definitely not obey Adanabo's rule again, and now that the war between him and Daqin was imminent, such a thing must not happen, so they could only restrain their anger.
"Master Phags-pa, it is rumored that you are the senior brother of the Golden Wheel Dharma King who died at the hands of Cang Fei, don't you want to avenge him?"
"Everything in time has its cause and effect. The poor monk had long advised him to be more compassionate, but unfortunately he insisted on going his own way and did not listen to the advice of the poor monk, which led to the death of a stranger. Although the poor monk was sad in his heart, he did not want to repeat his mistakes. "Phags-pa said.
Adanabo said: "The Southern Barbarian slaughtered in Mobei, mutilated hundreds of my Mongolian people, but it is a jackal, tiger and leopard, I surrender to him, I am afraid that it will be difficult to leave even the bones at that time? Master, can you guarantee that the Southern Barbarian will let us go?" )
