In the palace, Ashina Danai briefly talked to the queen, and wanted the queen to take out the map of Tubo and understand the current situation in Tubo.
Cheng Dabeard felt that he was too impatient, so he smiled and persuaded: "General, is it not easy for the army to come all the way? I think we have to rest here, so why should the general be so anxious?
In my opinion, when you get here, you must first get acquainted with the Supi people. After that, if the army does not have the help of the Supi people in the battle, the general should know where the trouble is.
I heard them say that the general captured some people when he entered the city? Why not give it to the queen as a meeting gift, she will definitely be very happy."
Listening to these words, you can tell that Cheng Dabeard is quite serious and his suggestions are very pertinent. However, there is no need to be surprised. He is not a person without ability, but his ability is used in the wrong place.
Ashina Danai glanced at Cheng Dabeard with an ox-eyed look. Cheng Zhijie was not afraid of him either. He smiled and cupped his hands, but he was muttering in his heart, you Turkic brat, how dare you stare at me? I will dig up your hair in Henan.
Eyeballs.
But the concubine's brother must be supported no matter before or in the future.
Well, as long as Ashina Danai can get him out of this hellish place in Tubo as soon as possible, he will always kneel down and ask everyone's ancestors to do it.
What he fears most is actually Ashina Danai, who is from the Western Turks. Like his fellow tribesmen, he is too simple-minded and too violent in his actions.
Relying on the large number of soldiers and horses he led, he was like those rebels and bandits in the past. You must know that this is Tubo, not the hinterland of the Central Plains like Henan and Shandong.
Once the army ignored the brutal conquests, Cheng Dabeard, who had been on the plateau for almost two years, knew exactly what it meant.
The army will soon become a lonely army. No one will be willing to help these outsiders. Even if all the tribes cannot defeat you, they can still run far away. You will have no way to find them in the wasteland.
And in winter, even if the army invades Luosu City, it will be of no avail. Luosu City will become the tomb of the army. It is hard to say how many people will starve to death in one winter. Once the army collapses, the most terrifying thing is to kill each other.
He had seen too many such scenes when he was in Henan. He couldn't say such things as too much help and too little help, but experience told him that it was best not to mess around in Tubo. It was so far away from the Central Plains, and he could not
I don't have the confidence to escape all the way back.
…………
Fortunately, Ashina Danai was not Zhai Rang, Li Mi, or Wang Shichong. Since joining the Tang Dynasty, he had been honest and honest and had never dared to act recklessly, for fear that his tail would be caught by his sister, otherwise he would have to pull it off.
.
"Since Ambassador Cheng has said so, let's take a break first. Tell Her Highness the Queen that we helped him put down the rebellion. It seems that we have captured some people and handed them over to her for disposal.
If she doesn't deal with someone and it's difficult to take action, it's not a bad idea for us to act on her behalf, but we need food and grass, and this time we came in response to Su Pi's request for help. They will provide the food and grass, isn't it too much?"
Seeing Cheng Dabeard and Queen Subi start to murmur, Ashina Danai finally figured out that the guy named Hou didn't seem to be bragging. The Tang envoy was getting along well here, and the Queen seemed to obey him.
It’s just that the bearded man doesn’t look very serious, and he’s a bit confused with Queen Subi. If I’m not mistaken, damn, you are really a talent. The most important thing is that you would be more serious than me.
Forget it, I can still coax this woman with such a bad appearance, I admire her.
Cheng Dabeard had no idea that this ugly ghost was carrying out brutal and inhumane personal attacks on him in his heart, and he was enthusiastically provoking people around, trying hard to get everyone to get along better.
After a long discussion with Subi Shura, he smiled and said to Ashina Danai: "General, don't worry about the food and grass matter. Her Royal Highness the Queen said that Subi has some savings everywhere, and they will give them to us.
But when we ask us to attack the Yalong people, Supi wants to take some of the captured things, so that we can have an explanation to the superiors and subordinates of Supi.
This is what I think. If I can capture Luoche City in the future, I will advise the queen to ask for canonization from the Tang Dynasty. If we can attack the Yalong Valley and turn all the Yalong people into slaves of Subi, Subishi can become the Tang Dynasty.
Tang vassal genus.
How big the credit is depends on the general."
Ashina Danai thought about it for a moment and then nodded, "Then there will be envoy Lao Cheng. We are all leaders of troops. Envoy Cheng should know that and won't be able to use many tricks.
Your Majesty has ordered us to come to Tubo. The first priority is to destroy the Tubo monarchy. However, before leaving, we also discussed it with General Zhang and General Manager Fan.
General Manager Fan felt that roughly speaking, Liangzhou should be used to control the highlands, and then the highlands should be used to contain Shannan. In order to avoid recurrence in the future, there would be no more Tubo after this battle.
Ambassador Cheng had better ask Her Majesty the Queen to think clearly and stop thinking about building any great achievements."
Cheng Dabeard said without hesitation that he was the envoy of the Tang Dynasty first, and the face of the queen secondly, "Of course, what else are we doing here? Are we just helping the Supi people unify Shannan?"
General, you don’t need to address me by the title of Cheng Envoy. The last general served in Qianniu Beishen Mansion. General is my superior officer. If you don’t want to give up, just call me Da Lang. My original name is Cheng Yaojin. I think
It was too vulgar, so I changed my name to Cheng Zhijie, with the courtesy name Yizhen, and the general could also call me An Yaojin, with both Yizhen and Yi Zhen."
The two were not acquainted with each other and had never drank together, so Cheng Zhijie did not dare to call each other brothers and could only get close to each other a little bit.
Ashina Danai felt very comfortable listening to this, and said to herself, "In that case, I'm relieved. Her Royal Highness the Queen seems to be fine. The army will rest here for a few days."
If the queen is in trouble, just tell us that while the army is still there, I can help her get rid of any traitors and traitors.
However, we need to find out the news from the south as soon as possible. We are not here to play political tricks. If Yi Zhen takes the trouble, we can save a lot of trouble."
…………
After some conversation, we finally had initial communication.
The next day, the chaos in the city calmed down completely. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty followed the instructions of the Supi people and helped Queen Supi clean the city thoroughly.
Then the Tang army gradually withdrew from Nangle City, leaving only a few hundred people led by Cheng Zhijie and Hou Junji to guard the queen.
It was considered as giving enough face to the Supi people.
On the evening of the next day, a bonfire was lit in the city, and the people of Supi were going to perform sacrifices again. This time, there would be no other people offering sacrifices, but only the nobles of King Supi's city and their families.
Ashina Danai was invited to the city to watch and watch the excitement.
His intuitive impression was not good. The Supi people were much more cruel than the Turks, and more than ten years had passed since Ashina Danai voted for Li Yuan in Daizhou.
If you don't look at his appearance, but only look at his words, actions, etc., there are not many traces of Turks. He is just like the people of the Central Plains, and his way of thinking is getting further and further away from the Turks. The behavior of the Subi people is natural.
Resistance will arise.
…………
Queen Subi used the most cruel method to execute Mangbo Jieri, his father and his son and others.
Cut off their limbs, gouged out their eyes, pierced their ears, peeled off their skin, and left them tossing and wailing to death slowly. Such people obviously cannot go to their so-called
Of the Kingdom of God.
Moreover, Queen Subi also ordered people to remove the skull of Mangbo Jieri and make a new wine cup.
Ashina Danai touched his huge garlic nose and felt a little chill on his back. He said in his heart that he heard that the Tubo people believe in Tathagata Buddha, but it seems that this is not necessarily the case now. What the Supi people believe in must be something else.
Buddha is more like an evil god.
And such a cruel person became the king of the Supi people. Well, the Supi people will be lucky in the future...
Cheng Dabeard has reached the stage where he doesn't care. He even used a skull to make a wine glass to drink from. It is said to be the skull of the previous queen. Then wouldn't Mangbo Jieri go to keep company with his mother?
Thinking that he might try it again in the near future, Cheng Dabeard couldn't help but feel nauseated, and muttered in his heart that these kings all have the same virtue.
Yang Guang tied Hu Sizheng to a pillar and forced the ministers to phlegm his flesh. This legend is well known in Henan, and the people of Luoyang are even more confident about it, so Cheng Dabeard doesn't believe it.
Many people in Shandong have also eaten two-legged sheep, Zhang Jin is said to be the best among them, and in the south there is the ogre king Zhu Can.
Compared with them, the Supi people only use the word "natural nature". They are basically the same in nature. They are all cruel guys who treat people as pigs and sheep.
Of course, people like Cheng Zhijie don’t need to be modest. People who have seen too many monsters and ghosts are 90% of them.
…………
The Tang army rested in Nenger City for two days.
The Supi people brought many sheep from all directions to provide food for the army. Naturally, the local specialty, highland barley flour, was also indispensable. This was the main source of military food for the Tubo people.
In the long-term struggle against the environment, various ethnic groups in Shannan discovered this kind of food that can be grown on a large scale on the plateau.
Like corn in the Central Plains, it greatly promoted the population growth in Shannan, which also became one of the basic conditions for the expansion of Tibet.
In addition to these, each ministry also sent some slaves under the Queen's order. They will fight with the army and can be turned into food when the food is insufficient.
This kind of thing is rare in the Central Plains, but it is not new. During the war in the late Sui Dynasty, similar things happened in Shandong, Hebei, and Henan.
During the period of Wuhu chaos in China, the Xianbei people and the Huns committed countless evil deeds that went against human knowledge.
Nowadays, although the Tang army is bound by military discipline, it is really in a desperate situation of lack of food and water. It is not unacceptable for the generals to use two-legged sheep for a while.
There is no need to have any illusions about war. Regardless of ancient or modern times, once the cruel face is revealed, it will be bloody and there will be no exceptions.
