Fengma flag hunting, vultures circling in the clouds and mist in the valley.
Lao Qijia dragged his tired body, raised his head on his knees, and looked towards the top of the mountain.
Not far from the top of the mountain, his red cheeks were turned livid by the cold wind. He exhaled white air, wrapped himself tightly in the hairless tiger skin, clutched a boulder in his old bark-like hands, and started climbing again.<
/p>
The bottles and jars on his body were clanging, and the knives and axes were clashing against each other.
Xiao Qijia was so tired that his eyes were numb, and his head was covered with a sheepskin hat. When he took off the hat, a puff of white smoke rose from his sweat. The slightest breeze made him shiver. He quickly put on the hat again and followed the master.
Go.
Finally, an old man and a young man climbed to the top of the mountain. Lao Qijia placed the pebbles he picked up today on the top of the mountain and knelt down in the snow and ice that never melted.
Xiao Qijia stood behind him, leaning on a six-foot hunting spear, staring blankly at the master praying.
Qijia means shit.
Like the custom of the Han people, a nickname is easy to make a living, and it expresses the parents' hope that their children will not die young.
Lao Chijia was born in the Gongju territory forty years ago. When he was young, he became a monk in Qiangbalin Monastery in Qamdo. Because the khenpo who ordained him was named Jiangbai, he was also named Jiangbai.
Life in the temple was hard and he had to do endless chores every day. Monk Jiang Bai was most envious of those rich kids who had endless tsampa to eat.
Later, when the war came, in order to support Rinbungpa and Zangba in fighting, three thousand monks from Qiangbalin Monastery took up weapons and marched into the snowy area together with the Mongolian reinforcements.
The chaos in Uzang also began at that time. Two dibas, two sects, and two Mongolian reinforcements fought in the deep valleys of the plateau until rivers of blood flowed. All nobles, monks, civilians, and slaves were involved in the war.
Can't get out of the quagmire.
The Twenty Years' War looks like a person's life.
He returned to secular life during the war, married a wife and had children, and lived a hard life. When there was a war, his family ate more, and when there was no war, they tightened their belts and ate less.
The eldest son grew up, went to the battlefield for a mouthful of tsampa and died on the battlefield. The younger son arrived at the other side when he was born and was put into a bag and hung on a tree. His wife also died in childbirth and his body disappeared without a trace along the river.<
/p>
My daughter was snatched away by a passing army. Even if she is still alive, she might as well be separated by yin and yang.
Monk Jiangbai became the hero of Gongjue Chieftain Qijia because of the war.
But this tiger skin, which symbolizes a hero, is nothing compared to what he lost in the war.
But the war did not end. When the Gelug sect's army was defeated by Zangpa, King Baili of Kham started a war again.
Lao Qijia sharpened his ax and spear in the dark night. He was filled with anger and fearlessness. The war could no longer take away any of his relatives. He thought that the war would definitely take away his body and send his soul to the other side to reunite with his family. But he still underestimated the cruelty of war.
This time he lost his hometown and became Baili's man.
King Baili was magnanimous and gave generous treatment to the warriors who had resisted him but laid down their weapons.
Lao Qijia had endless tsampa, endless clothes, and endless butter, but there was no one in the world with whom he could share these things.
Even donating to the temple or repaying the old owner has become a luxury.
The khenpo who ordained him was extremely lonely, and the master who gave him the tiger skin died miserably.
Lao Qijia is still growing older, and his strength is constantly draining from this body, which makes him feel scared and anxious. At this moment, he finds that he cannot calmly accept reaching the other side.
He doesn't know what meaning his life has except learning a skill and killing a group of people.
So he found Xiao Qijia, a war orphan with the same name and similar experiences as him.
"Abba, didn't you say that the battle will never be over?"
After Lao Qijia got up, Xiao Qijia asked: "Why do you have to ask Buddha to stop the war every day?"
"I never pray for the war to stop, I only pray for a longer peace next time."
Lao Qijia has long realized that the war will never stop, the war will not always be fought, nor will it never stop fighting.
And Xiao Qijia, who was born in a war, has never seen peace since he can remember.
The two of them inspected the mountain and made sure that there was nothing unusual in the valley on the other side of the Gaiqu River. There was still smoke coming from the kitchen, and then they walked through the difficult mountain road and returned to the simple tent halfway up the mountain.
They are the sentries of Baili Army on the top of the mountain. Ever since the two armies faced each other across Gaiqu, there have been people like them at every mountain pass. They wave the flag when trouble occurs, and every few days someone goes up the mountain to deliver food.
As early as they moved from the rear to the front, they heard that an army of our own had crossed Gequ and was completely wiped out near Danba Manor.
King Bailey was very unhappy and lost his temper at Malkan, reprimanding the nobles for not being able to do anything well.
Then the entire army was ordered not to enter the army and to stick to the defensive line, dragging the war into the first snow.
But in recent days, Lao Qijia, who was stationed high in the mountains, didn't know what was going on. Military mobilizations in the rear became more frequent, and people who went up to the mountains to deliver food also came more frequently.
As if Daiben couldn't trust them, he sent people up the mountain every day to ask if there was any smoke from the other side.
Lao Qijia asked many times, and finally got a response from the soldiers at the foot of the mountain today. They said that there was news from the rear that the Han army was marching northeast across Maqu and into Lin Cong territory, and was marching southeast along the Jinsha River. It seemed that it was about to
Directly attack the hinterland of Baili.
The frontline generals didn't know whether they should return for reinforcements. The twelve daiben who posted troops on the front originally wanted to discuss whether to return for reinforcements or stay behind. However, after seven daiben planned to return for reinforcements, the remaining five daiben decided to avoid being captured.
In encirclement and annihilation, the only option is to retreat.
Until then, Lao Qijia, who had been stationed in the mountains for a month, knew that the smoke he saw during this period was burned by free slaves in the Danba territory. The Han army and the Mongolian army had already left here.
His replacement was a general who decided to stay behind, but he had to withdraw at this moment.
Because the Mongolian army gathered towards Qamdo, and because the leader pretended that Taiji believed in the Yellow Sect, and reached an agreement with the monks of Qiangbalin Temple to ensure the safety of the monks, the Mongolian army occupied Qamdo at the intersection of the two rivers without bloodshed, directly threatening the Baili Army's left rear food road.

On the other side, Liu Chengzong encountered an unexpected problem, the Jinsha River.
The Baili Army occupied various mountain passes, was tightly defended, and was familiar with the road conditions, making it difficult for the Lion Army to carry out frontal maneuvers. If they wanted to make a flanking advance, they had only one option: to enter Lin Cong's territory on the east bank of the Jinsha River, which was not involved in the war.
The internal name of Lincong territory is Lin State, and its founder is King Gesar. This territory was the most powerful chieftain in Kham during the Song Dynasty.
He became a chieftain in the Yuan Dynasty. In the early Ming Dynasty, he paid the seal given by the Yuan court to Shaanxi Yuanwai Lang Xu Yunde and submitted to the Ming Dynasty.
The ancestor of the Dege chieftain was once a military commander of the Lin Cong family. Because his daughter was born beautiful, when she married the king, she asked for a dowry gift of the land plowed in one day. As a result, the Dege family's smart cows ran wild and the plow tip was plowed in one day.
Sixty miles of land.
Today’s Dege Toast is here.
Liu Chengzong stood on a high mountain peak with his sword in hand, looking at the Jinsha River with an unfriendly expression. There was an iron cable bridge across the wide river.
There are many iron cable bridges on the Jinsha River, most of which were built by Tang Dongjiabo, the teacher of Monk Wang and the founder of Gengqing Temple.
Because it was difficult for the people to cross the river, and many people were killed by the rushing river, the monk Tangdong Gyalpo, who had neither power nor wealth, went around collecting donations from the nobles. He used the money to build 60 wooden bridges and 50 cable bridges in Kham throughout his life.
Like a saint.
But at this moment, the owner of the bridge is giving Monk Wang a hard time.
On the other side of this chain bridge are the troops assembled by Chieftain Lin Cong, the checkpoints and the fortress guarding the entrance of the bridge.
Liu Chengzong was fighting between two rivers and had no other choice but to cross the Jinsha River. Therefore, after deciding on the strategy, he sent people to contact Chieftain Lin Cong to seek an escape route.
This King Lin Cong sent his subordinates to pay tribute to Liu Chengzong when he led his army south.
Therefore, in Liu Chengzong's mind, it would be difficult for Lin Cong to send troops to fight for him against Bai Li, but it shouldn't be a big problem if he just used the opportunity.
The two sides discussed the matter quite happily, and Chieftain Lin Cong asked Liu Chengzong to give him the official seal of his territory so that he could use the passage.
Even when Liu Chengzong's army was marching, Monk Wang was sent to visit King Lin Cong with gifts.
Unexpectedly, when Dai Daozi's advance guard Tang Qi arrived at the river bank, the other side changed his mind.
King Lin Cong gathered his troops there and transported mountains of wood and stones to build a fort.
Now that the army has arrived, it is blocked by a river and stops near the noble manor in the valley on the south bank. The noble here is the leader of Gama and is much more sensible than King Lin Cong on the other side.
Liu Chengzong stood on a high mountain and looked to the other side, and King Lin Cong also stood on the mountain of the other side, looking across the Jinsha River at the Lion Army.
The reason for his change of heart was very simple, so simple that it was a bit funny: Liu Chengzong was no longer the Liu Chengzong he knew.
At first, King Lin Cong didn't know what Liu Chengzong was doing. When he went south, his troops were strong, so he sent his leader to pay tribute in order to ensure peace and stability.
Later, Liu Chengzong went to the city in Nangqian one day and captured Nangsuoqian Mo Palace. He felt that this man was too overbearing, but the army was indeed overbearing.
Later, the confrontation between Danba and Su Mang was a bit far away from King Lin Cong's territory. He was too busy scolding the Dege family to pay attention.
When the news about Liu Chengzong came again, he asked him to borrow a passage. He thought Liu Chengzong was going home after the war, so he happily agreed to borrow a passage.
Until this moment, the Liu Chengzong in King Lin Cong's mind was still the Liu Chengzong he thought.
But it was different later. He sent people across the Jinsha River to inquire about the course of the war, but got an unexpected answer.
Liu Chengzong did not have much fighting with King Bai Li's army. He was only busy confiscating noble land in the Gama territory, and also called on all slaves to join his army and receive land rewards.
King Lin Cong was dumbfounded.
He has no personal grudges against Liu Chengzong, and from the bottom of his heart, he hopes to get help from Liu Chengzong, whether in terms of military strength, culture, or technology, because he cannot suppress the local leaders represented by the Dege family.
But Liu Chengzong confiscated the nobles' land and called on slaves to join the army, which was different.
This is digging into the roots of the nobility!
Even at this time, Chief Lin Cong still had no intention of starting a war with Liu Chengzong, but hoped that with this help, he could get Liu Chengzong's unchanging promise from Lin Cong.
It wasn't until Liu Chengzong asked Monk Wang to visit with gifts that Chief Lin Cong finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Liu Chengzong has actually been connected with the monks of the Dege family!
The furious King Lin Cong mobilized the nobles in the territory and sent troops to block the chain bridge. On the other hand, he sent people to contact Malkang's Dunyue Duoji, hoping that Baili's army could eliminate Liu Chengzong on the bank of the Jinsha River.
He worried more than anything about the ambitious Derge family. This loyal leader family of his ancestors no longer paid tribute to him. Instead, he obtained a large number of weapons and armors from Sichuan through the help of Duoji in the next month.
A very scary armed force.
Of course, that armed force is nothing compared to Liu Chengzong's army, but Liu Chengzong is on the other side of the Jinsha River, and the Dege family and his feet step on the same land.
Everything is the sensitive and fragile inner drama of King Lin Cong.
Liu Chengzong was puzzled by his behavior, but in fact if it weren't for King Lin Cong's strange behavior, it is possible that Bai Lijun would not have known about his transfer at all.
Before leaving Danba, Liu Chengzong asked Basang's slave army to cook every day on the front line of the confrontation... This was his habit. In his opinion, even if the transfer was for the purpose of pulling, it was necessary to deliberately arrange something that would be
See through the suspicious tactics.
Delay for a day or two, or three to five days, and wait until the enemy finds out before they take the bait.
However, due to the annihilation of Danbeidai's army, Dunyue Dorje issued an order to the front line not to advance even an inch, so that at all the mountain passes of the 400-mile defense line, there was no idea of advancing.
Naturally, no one has ever crossed Gaiqu to explore his reality.
People just looked at the smoke, and saw that Master Basang almost ate up all the food Liu Chengzong left for him. The expected enemy still did not make a large-scale breakthrough from the front.
Mountain.
Cao Yao shook his head and said: "You can't use cannons. Raising the muzzle of the cannon may hit the enemy on the other side. But the river is three hundred steps wide and the lion cannon cannot fire accurately at this distance. What if the bridge is interrupted?"
?"
Liu Chengzong thought for a moment and said: "If you find a way to send troops to the other side, how many people do you estimate will be needed to seize the bridge?"
Cao Yao looked at the four to five hundred defenders on the other side, frowned and said: "One hundred and eighty people forced the crossing, and there was at least one boat to send firearms over and climb up that mountain."
He pointed to a hilltop on the other side and said: "That place is just the right place to attack their fort. No one can even think about it."
Liu Chengzong nodded and ordered the guards: "Let Dai Daozi go north along the coast to find a boat. There are many reefs in the river. If you find a boat, don't take the waterway and drag it over from the shore. Monk Wang... forget it, let Ga Ma come."<
/p>
Liu Chengzong originally wanted Monk Wang to go there again, but he felt that King Lin Cong was very annoyed by Monk Wang who was from the Derge territory. He simply asked Ga Ma to send people to the other side and issued an ultimatum to King Lin Cong: "I will give him the last one."
If there is an opportunity, let the army retreat ten miles to make way for the bridge entrance, otherwise he had better not let it pass for the rest of his life."
The man sent by Ga Ma quickly passed over the bridge to deliver the message, and after a while he ran back like a gust of wind. He told Ga Ma with a frightened expression, and then informed Liu Chengzong through Monk Wang.
"Commander, they said they have told Dunyue Duoji that King Baili's army will soon block us here."
Ga Ma spoke very anxiously, and Monk Wang translated very anxiously.
Liu Chengzong's expression was very exciting. He looked at Cao Yao and Wang Wenxiu, and all three of them smiled with their mouths open: "There is no need to cross the river. Is there such a good thing?"
