Chapter 933, 934 The saint riding a white horse is here!(1/2)

"The land of hundreds of miles here is the lowest place in Tubo, because it is south of the Gula Mountain in Nianqing Tang, and it is called Shannan." Li Luo said to the generals around him. "Thirty miles ahead is Chayu Mountain City. Tonight, the army will rest in Chayu Mountain City."

"Abide by the order!"

Lord Tang abandoned his car and changed his horse, and was surrounded by the central army guards. He looked at the Tang army soldiers rolling forward, all of whom were strong and their steps were agile, and they couldn't help but nod.

The Tang army adopted the high-intensity training methods of later generations, and also worked tirelessly through society and martial arts in their thoughts. With generous treatment and honor, as well as the world-leading equipment and organizational system, it became the most powerful military group in the world today.

When recruiting new recruits in the Tang army, they have high requirements for physical fitness and age. After joining the army, new infantry must be trained hard for one year before they can go to the battlefield. Cavalry must be trained hard for two years before they can go to the battlefield, and cavalry recruits must be able to ride horses when recruiting new recruits.

This made the Tang army extremely powerful in individual combat, and no army could fight against Tang army soldiers alone.

This is the reliance for Li Luo to restore the Central Plains and conquer the world. In this world, except for logistics and distance, no force can defeat the Tang army.

Only logistics and distance can stop the Tang army's pace of conquering the world.

For example, when entering the Tubo Plateau this time, the Tang army could only carry less food, and the supply in the rear would become more and more difficult as the army deepened.

However, Li Luo had a clear mind. According to the information from the Da'an Prefecture (Special Bureau), the great Tubo nobles had some food, and the Medog City and Bomi City on both sides of the Yarlung Zangbo also had military rations from the Yuan army.

Are you still afraid of not having military rations? Just grab it.

Just say that the south of the mountain is a treasure land of Tubo. Both the Yarlung Zangbo River and Nujiang River flow here. The climate here is pleasant and the land is fertile, just like the Central Plains, and it is the densest and richest area in Tubo.

The birthplace of the Tubo Dynasty was here. The Tubo Dynasty relied on to dominate the plateau and unify the Tubo tribes, which shows that the Shannan region has unique advantages.

Therefore, the Tang army had not yet entered the plateau at this time.

This is the base for Li Luo to recover Tubo. The Tang army will use Shannan as the logistics area to gradually control the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. This conquest route is the same as the rise of the Tubo Empire back then.

The simplest and most effective, with the lowest cost.

When the Han and Tang Dynasties were strong, they were unable to include the Tubo Plateau in their territory because the route was wrong.

And Li Luo is right.

Lord Tang raised his eyes thousands of miles to look at the clear and high blue sky and white clouds, the yaks and horses and camels among the gentle slopes and green waters, as well as the black tents and white tents at the foot of the mountain, the Tubo people working between the grasslands and the fields, couldn't help but smile coldly.

Everything here seems so peaceful and quiet. The not too high altitude, as well as the plump land of the Yarlung Zangbo River and Nujiang, should have become a paradise.

But it's not the case.

Because most of the Tubo people are serfs!

The difference between serfs and peasants is actually very different. The farmers in the Central Plains are self-cultivated farmers, and since ancient times, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce rank second. Emperor Wen said: Farmers are the foundation of the world.

The suffering of the Central Plains is the problem of administration, and the political status of the peasants is not low. As long as a scholar obtains fame and fortune, he will immediately become a ruling class. He will be a farmer in the morning and climb the emperor's hall in the evening. The path to ascendance is open.

However, in Tubo, serfs were essentially slaves, either slaves of nobles or slaves of temples. They were not only slaves in economics but also slaves in personal relationships, but also very lowly even in political status.

The nobles are nobles, and serfs are serfs. The current nobles are almost the nobles of the Tubo Dynasty, and the current serfs are almost the serfs of the Tubo Dynasty.

Not only did the serfs have to bear heavy taxes and labor, but they were still private relatives of the nobles and temples, and they also had to fight for the nobles for free. In order to facilitate rule, the serfs were also divided into three levels: Jomba, Duoqiu and Langsheng. However, even the highest-level Jomba was not as good as the hired peasants in the Central Plains.

In the history of the plateau, serfs were unable to withstand oppression and revolt several times. The once-prosperous Tubo Dynasty collapsed under the blow of the serf uprising. However, serf uprisings were suppressed without exception.

What is even more ironic is that since Tantric Buddhism completely ruled the plateau, serf uprisings rarely occurred in later generations. It can be seen that Tantric Buddhism controls the spiritual control of serfs.

Li Luo came here not only to recapture Tubo and drive the Yuan army out of the plateau. He also wanted to completely crush the serf system and to give the Tubo people a bright blue sky.

I, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, is your savior and your Heavenly Khan.

Therefore, the spies from Da'an Prefecture (Special Inspection Bureau) have been taking action for a long time.

At this time, the entire plateau was circulating everywhere. A saint with a close relationship with Tubo would ride a white horse to the plateau to rescue the suffering people of Tubo and prevent them from becoming cattle and horses.

As soon as the Tang army arrived in Chayu, the Tubo people in many places began to pray that the saints would truly arrive.

It can be said that the undercurrents of the Tubo Plateau have begun to divide people's hearts.

"Your Majesty." Li Wangzhu said, "Chayu is the jurisdiction of Yasang Wanhu Mansion, and Yasang Wanhu is the least powerful among the 130,000 households."

Li Luo nodded. He had already known the comprehensive information about the entire Tubo.

But the nobles in various Tubo, including Xuanweisi and Xuanzhengyuan (Sakya regime), did not know that the Tang army was coming.

Tubo was vast and sparsely populated, including Qinghai in later generations, with only more than two million people, and the vast majority were serfs and monks.

Whether it is the Xuanzhengyuan (Sakya regime), which is the highest local regime in Tubo, or the great nobles and temples in various places, they cannot draw too many troops to stop the Tang army.

The Tubo nobles conquered the Han area twice before, losing more than 100,000 young and strong people. Not only did they have serious shortage of troops in the Tubo territory, but their morale was also low and they were afraid of the Tang Dynasty like a tiger.

The number of Yuan troops on the plateau is insufficient.

…………

Chayu is the territory of the second-class noble Xue Kang family. The Xue Kang family's clan is located in Chayu Mountain City. The Xue Kang family is not only the leader of Chayu, but also the chieftain of the Yuan court. The head of the family Xue Kang Jiabu was appointed as the official of Chawa.

Chayu Mountain City is not big, there are not many people, and half are the residences of the Xuekang family. Most of the people in the city are "Langsheng" (family slaves) of the Xuekang family.

The weather was hot at this time, and several Lang Sheng, who had a bun on his head, were carefully holding the fruits and fruits and sending them to the summer room where his owner lived.

In Tubo, only the bitter serfs lived in black tents woven by yak hair, while the nobles and the temple masters of the toasts lived in tall and gorgeous mansions and temples.

In a stone house full of mulberry flowers outside, a Tubo noble girl about 17 or 18 years old was lying on a bamboo bed. Several girls, Langsheng (slaves), were slapping her with her eyes down.

This noble woman looked up at a group of women, Lang Sheng with an unpleasant look.

"This cold bamboo bed can't make my heart less angry." The noble girl raised her snow-white frosted feet, which looked very different from her wheat-colored face.

"Sammo (Miss), please eat a piece of melon. It was just sent by Jobba and the others to honor the masters." A Langsheng respectfully handed over a piece of melon.

"Stinky slave, why are you doing so close to me? Get away!" The noble woman kicked her feet and kicked Lang Sheng in front of her and fell on her back.

"Oh (Oh)!" Na Langsheng fell to the ground, but quickly got up, took a few steps back, and knelt there obediently, not daring to breathe.

The other Langsheng was also so scared that he crawled on the ground.

The noble girl said angrily: "A group of dog slaves, don't think that my Jianbo (brother) has gone to Sakya. My Bala (father) dares to neglect me, Samo! If anyone is disobedient, I will peel his skin and send it to Danga Temple to worship it to the master. Do you hear it clearly!"

"Oh!" A group of Langshengs were so scared that they shivered.

This noble girl is named Xuekanglam, which means a beautiful fairy. She looks really beautiful. But her viciousness is no worse than that of the head of Xuekanggabu.

Since her temporary housekeeper, she has peeled off several people. Several people have died of exhaustion in the manor. Once she went to the manor, a Johnba looked at her and was dug up his eyes.

"In the past two days, there have been rumors in the city and in the manor that there will be saints riding white horses to rescue Tubo slaves. Have you heard of it?" Xue Kangram said with a sneer.

This is why she got angry today.

She knew very well who the so-called saint riding a white horse was. There was no need to think that he must be the Han emperor in the east. Who else besides him?

There is no one else.

Therefore, the owners of the Xuekang family were very worried. Although the Tang army must have come from the northeast and is very far away from Chayu, will it be called sooner or later?

Before, he followed the orders of the Yuan court to conquer the Tang Kingdom in the east, and the Xuekang family also produced thousands of soldiers.

Unexpectedly, not only did they not get any benefits, but they also got a thousand young men. This greatly damaged the vitality of the Xuekang family.

I heard that Li Tang was very bad to the nobles and powerful people. He confiscated the noble people's property and land every time he went, and made the slaves turn over. It was really bad.

A Langsheng quickly said, "If you go back to Samo, these rumors are indeed the same. However, rumors are like leaves on the ground, and they will disappear when the wind blows."

Xuekanglam took a piece of honeydew melon, took a bite, and looked at Langsheng with his eyes narrowed, "Go to Bensamo Chacha, who are walking around the rumors, and those who hope the rumors are true. Write down their names, and Bansamo wants to peel them."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, the butler rushed in, and before the master got angry, he threw out an amazing news:

"Samo (Miss)! Oh no, the Tang army has arrived! The vanguard is less than ten miles away from Chayu City!"

What!

Xuekanglam suddenly stood up, rushed to the butler barefoot, grabbed his collar, bit his silver teeth and said, "Dog slave! Are you looking for death? What nonsense!"

Ce Ce, whose housekeeper had a face of earth, shivered. He pointed to the south and stammered: "Sammo... Tang Jun has arrived..."

At this moment, another man rushed in, "Samo, the Tang army is here! Many soldiers and horses are endless at first sight, like a terrible avalanche, are here!"

As soon as Xuekanglam's body was weak, his legs fell down weakly.

It's over.

Even if the Tang army wanted to fight Tubo, shouldn’t it come from the northeast? Why did it come from the south?

Buddha.

But a group of young people looked at each other, each seeing an inexplicable look in each other's eyes.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is the rumored saint? Is he really here to save them?

Soon, the head of the family, Xue Kang Jiabu, who was practicing great joy in the female Langsheng, also received this extremely terrifying news.

"Hurry! Send someone to gather the poor! " Xue Kang Jiabu rushed out of the yard and shouted, "Anyone who has strong men, come to guard the city!"

"Bala!" Xue Kangram's eldest daughter, Huarong, rushed over, "What should I do, Bala! We only have a thousand strong men at most, how can we stop the damn Tang army! Woo woo..."

Xue Kang Jiabu shouted: "No, the Tang army shouldn't appear in the south. Did they come from the south?"

"Head!" said the butler, "I heard that the northern part of India and the Bagan Kingdom were occupied by the Tang army. Can they just come from the south?"

"Taoman, don't resist, it's useless. Hurry up and take gold and silver to run, go to Sakya, go to logic!"

Xue Kang Jiabu stomped his feet, "Hurry! Go and prepare!"

When the Langsheng and the others saw the Tang army coming, they were so scared that they were always high and the masters who were killed and killed were panicked, and a sense of pleasure emerged in their hearts.
