Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3546 Zanpo
Located on the shore of Qinghai Lake, Chahan City was the place where troops were stationed in the Han Dynasty. It was controlled by Tuyuhun before, but now it is all in the hands of Tubo.

The whole city is rectangular, with two gates in the north and south for entry and exit, and tall watchtowers in the four corners.

Zan Po stood on the watchtower, letting the cold wind blow her robes and rustling, and looked at the completely frozen Qinghai Lake in front of her with her hands behind her back.Continuous days of heavy snow covered the entire lake, and the uneven ice surface due to the tearing of the water flow and the strong wind was covered up. The view was white and boundless. .

The Qilian Mountains stretching out from the sky stand majestically and stretch endlessly.

The wild grass on the lakeside and the distant plains and hillsides has been covered with snow. There is nowhere for livestock to find food, and there are few birds. It is extremely desolate.

But in spring and summer, the mighty Qinghai Lake can produce innumerable catches. Dozens of rivers pour into the lake mightily from all directions.Although the Gar family was exiled here due to Zanpu's suspicion, it is a great fortune among misfortunes to get such a treasured place where they can recuperate and recuperate.

Relying on the beauty of this place, the Gar family is enough to support an elite army of more than 20 people after 5 years of recuperation. At that time, no matter whether they cross the Qilian Mountains to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty, or go north to show their strength to Luoxi City, they will be able to It is enough to dominate one side, and no longer feel the anger of being abused by others!

"Young master, there are scouts from the Tang army coming to meet the young master."

A servant quickly climbed up the watchtower and came to report to Grandma Zam. The bitter cold wind pierced through the thick fur on his body in an instant, making him shiver.Seeing the fourth son of the Gar family wearing an ordinary Tubo gown, with a leisurely posture, he was filled with awe.

Only those who are physically strong and outstanding can stand up to the severe cold. This is the real warrior of Tubo.

There was a hint of surprise on Zanpo's bearded face, and her two thick eyebrows frowned: "Scout from the Tang Dynasty?"

Many years ago, Zanpu and his father had ambitiously invaded the land of Datang, so they had already dispatched countless spies to sneak into Chang'an, eavesdropping on the news of all parties, thinking that they would steal information when they fought in the future.As early as many days ago, Chang'an's secret work sent back news, saying that the Guanlongmen faction headed by Changsun Wuji gathered troops and brazenly entered Chang'an City to carry out military remonstrance.

I naturally passed the news to my father, intending to take the opportunity to send troops to seize the land of Hexi, but my father flatly refused.

My father thinks that the current Chang'an military remonstrance is just a civil strife, but it will not shake the foundation of Datang's rule, and this civil strife will soon come to an end.If they invaded and occupied the Hexi counties at this time, it would be successful for a while, but when the Tang Dynasty stabilized, it would inevitably lead to fierce retaliation. At that time, the Hexi counties would lose their gains, and it would be of no benefit.Especially in Luoxi City, where the suspicion of the Gar family is very serious, it is unwise to hate the relationship with Datang and cut off the retreat.

Zan Po deeply admired her father's wisdom, as if she could only see such a small benefit in front of her, but didn't know how to plan a long-term situation, she was really short-sighted.

But the battle in Chang'an City is raging right now, and the Anxi army is fighting fiercely with the Dashi army in the Western Regions. How can the people of Tang have time to worry about themselves?
After thinking for a long time, he turned around and walked down the watchtower, and said to the servant: "Let him be a scout from the Tang army to meet me at the government office."

"Here!"

The servants went to inform the scouts from the Tang Dynasty, and Po Zan went back to the government office in the city alone, had someone prepare a plate of mutton, brought a jug of highland barley wine, and poured it herself.

After a long while, a scout from the Tang Army came in with his servants, came forward to salute, and said: "I am the scout from the Right Tunwei of the Great Tang Dynasty. I have a letter from the commander-in-chief of my family, please write it yourself."

Zan Po chewed the meat, took a sip of the highland barley wine, frowned and thought for a long time before she remembered that the general of "You Tun Wei" was Fang Jun, the Duke of Yue Kingdom in the Tang Dynasty...

Although Tubo has imitated the Han people in military and political aspects since Songtsan Gampo succeeded to the throne, the long-standing habits are still difficult to change for a while, especially the various designations of the Tang army are really mixed in the eyes of the Tubo people. It is really troublesome to understand the affiliation and status of each army, and to face the frequently changing generals.

Where is it as simple as Tubo, the army of that tribe is named after the leader of the tribe, simple and direct, easy to remember...

Zan Po put down the silver knife for cutting meat in her hand, picked up the handkerchief beside her to wipe her hands, and took the letter from the scout with both hands.No matter how unruly he is, no matter how much he doesn't pay attention to the Han people, he also knows that Fang Jun is a celebrity in both the military and political circles of the Tang Dynasty. It is enough to make Zanpo respect him more.

The power of Tuyuhun was feared even by Tubo, but it was defeated by Fang Jun in the first battle. Such a strong person should be respected by others, and should not be shown in the enemy's camp.

What's more, Fang Jun also has the outstanding feats of the soldiers who went out of the way and the downfall of Xue Yantuo, which is even more awe-inspiring...

Open the envelope and remove the letterhead.Just like the Hu tribes around the Tang Dynasty, most of the nobles in Tubo also practiced Chinese characters and spoke Chinese. In particular, Lu Dongzan went to the Tang Dynasty several times as an envoy, and the Tang Dynasty highly respected the Han culture. Put a lot of effort into this.

After reading the letter at a glance, Grandma Zan frowned and remained silent.

The letter stated that the remnant of Xue Yantuo was rebelling with the support of the Turks. The Hanhai Protectorate asked for help from Chang'an and Anxi Governor respectively, and begged to send troops to Mobei to suppress Xue Yantuo's remnant.Given that Chang'an is currently undergoing a mutiny, there must be no time to take care of Mobei, so Fang Jun reluctantly mobilizes more than [-] troops from the Anxi Army to Mobei to counter the rebellion, but fearing that there will be insufficient troops, he asks the Gar family to send elite troops to help.

He also made it clear that the Anxi army would wait in Liangzhou for three days, and if Po Zan refused to go, he would not wait until the time expired...

Zan Po was a little moved.

He didn't care much about whether Xue Yantuo rebelled, and even maliciously speculated that it would be best if the whole Tang Dynasty was in chaos, so he was naturally unwilling to send his soldiers to travel thousands of miles to put down the rebellion for Datang.But what Fang Jun said in this letter made him unable to refuse.

"Please the Gar family remember the friendship with Datang, and send troops to help"...

Fang Jun asked the Gar family, not Tubo!
This is fundamentally different. The latter regards the Gar family as a member of Tubo, or even Songtsan Gambo’s lackeys. A force that can develop diplomatic relations...

The Gar family assisted Songtsan Gampo to unify the plateau, but now they have to be exiled to this Qinghai Lake due to suspicion, isn't it because they can't get the political status corresponding to their strength?If the Great Tang is willing to regard the Gar family as an equal force with Tubo, this will have a decisive effect on the Gar family's foothold in Qinghai Lake and being free from Tubo's struggle for power!

It stands to reason that even if he agrees a hundred times, it is a big matter, and he has to consult his father before making a decision.But Fang Jun was obviously very anxious, "Wait for three days, don't wait when it's overdue." If he didn't arrive in Liangzhou by then, not only would he not be able to seize this excellent opportunity for Datang to recognize the status of the Gar family, he would even let Fang Jun Because of this, Jun has a suspicion.

Although the Eastern Palace is currently being besieged by the Guanlong rebels, the hundreds of thousands of troops from the Eastern Expedition are about to return to Guanzhong. As long as they survive until then, all the rebellion will dissipate immediately, and the Eastern Expedition's position will be stable.And Fang Jun, the minister of the Humerus of the East Palace, will be a giant in the Tang Dynasty in the future, and he must not be offended...

So after thinking about it for a while, Zan Po made up her mind: "I will write a letter, and you will immediately send it to Gongyue City and submit it to the Duke of Yue. I will immediately gather [-] cavalry, and immediately go from Dadouba Valley to Hexi Liangzhou, join the Anxi Army and go to Mobei to assist Datang in suppressing the rebellion. The friendship between the Wugar family and Datang is deep-rooted, as long as Datang asks for it, we will do our best."

Dang even repaired a letter and sent it to Gongyue City by the scouts of the Tang Army, while he sent people to Luoxie City to deliver a letter to his father about the matter, while gathering troops and horses, and set off at ten o'clock in the evening, heading straight for the great land in the Qilian Mountains. Douba Valley.

*****
Inside Suzhou City, guard Hou Mo Chen Fen looked at the battle report in his hand and said in surprise: "You said that the Anxi Army's more than [-] fine riders came all the way east and are about to arrive outside Suzhou City?"

The scout in front of him nodded and said: "It's absolutely true, there was no rumor in advance, but this line of cavalry is wearing the clothes of various Hu tribes and carrying the banner of the Anxi Army. Obviously, they are the cavalry of various Hu tribes gathered under the command of the Anxi Army."

Hou Mo and Chen Fan's heart skipped a beat, Anxi's army suddenly headed east, could it be that they were ordered by Fang Jun to go to Chang'an to help the East Palace?I have to pass this news to Chang'an!

He immediately wrote a letter, handed it to the scouts, and said: "I must hand it over to Mr. Zhao Guogong with my own hands. If there is any delay, come and see me!"

"Here!"

The scout took the order and withdrew immediately to deliver the letter to Chang'an.

Not long after, another soldier quickly stepped in and shouted: "General, the Anxi army has arrived outside the city, saying that the general should leave the city to meet each other immediately, and there is an urgent military order!"
