Chapter 96 Warriors and Slaves

At Jinshan Pass, Shang Qixin'er, the host of Tubo, personally led an army of [-] troops and stationed at a place [-] miles away from the river valley.

The reason why they camped twenty miles away from the river valley instead of camping directly in the river valley was because Datang also had a fortress at the Dangjin Pass. That would derail plans to raid and take Sarawak.

So Shang Qixin'er strictly ordered the army not to enter the river valley and camp on this wasteland.

The Shule River flowed into the wilderness. The host of Tubo, the maker of the strategy against the Tang Dynasty, and the assistant of the god Zanpu, stood in the camp and watched the pony galloping in the river.

Because they live on the plateau, the horses in Tubo are short in stature, strong in load bearing and durable in endurance, but not strong in explosive power.

Therefore, plateau horses are quite good as pack horses, but as war horses, they are far inferior to the horses in the Hetao area north of Longyou, and even worse than the BMWs in the Western Regions.

Tubo has been competing for Longyou and the Western Regions, and one of the big reasons is to compete for the origin of horses.

Therefore, although Tubo has herdsmen who live on the grass, the army is the same as the Tang Dynasty, and it is still dominated by armored infantry.

Shang Qixin'er forcibly ordered the "big material collection" in winter, and ordered the entire warrior family in the Tubo region to send out a warrior with food, grass, armor and weapons. At the same time, each warrior also brought "Wen Mo" two people together Gather before the valley.

Shangqi Xiner raised the banner representing Dalun. After the old Zanpu returned to the heaven, Chisong Detsen, who was only 15 years old, succeeded to the throne. This young Zanpu was the reincarnation of the wisdom of the old Zanpu, and he joined the royal family to kill him. Mo Dongzebu and Lang Maiser and other traitors who murdered Lao Zanpu.In one fell swoop, he mastered Zamp Royal Court.

Then Trisong Detsan bestowed banners representing power on the Dalun stationed in the Quartet, demonstrating the support of the Zanpu royal court for these Daluns.

As an eastern grand theory guarding the eastern part of Tubo and planning an offensive strategy against the Tang Dynasty, Shang Qixin'er naturally wanted to use a brilliant victory to express her respect for the great god Zanpu.

The big banner of Lun is made of tiger skin and decorated with se gold rings inlaid on the side.

Tubo uses tiger skins to commend warriors, and sue to commend wise men. A whole piece of flawless tiger skin shows that Shang Qixin is the bravest warrior in Tubo. symbol of.

"Lun" is the most senior nobleman in Tubo, which is equivalent to the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty and Jiedushi. Shang Qixin'er's status in Tubo can be said to be below one person and above ten thousand.

The army has been assembled, [-] Tubo warriors, plus the [-] Wenmo they brought, a full [-] army mighty.

Wen Mo is a slave, they not only serve as vanguard cannon fodder, but are also responsible for the transportation of grain and grass for the army.

The area where Shang Qixin'er is located is an area where various ethnic groups live. Before the Tibetan occupation, there were Han people, Turkic people, Qiang people, and Anxi people. "Gui" was given to each level.

"Gui" refers to the warriors, commanders and castle owners of Tubo. These are the classes in Tubo who are most enthusiastic about fighting.

As long as you fight, you can get spoils. Today, Tubo is at its strongest combat effectiveness, and many expansions have achieved fruitful results.

Whether it is the Tang Dynasty, or the Dashi and the Western Regions in the west, Tubo has plundered a lot of wealth and population.

Seeing that his subordinates were eager to fight and their morale was high, Shang Qixin was very proud. He said to the Asuka envoys on the left and right:

"We Tibetans are a race favored by the gods. We should live in a more fertile land and we should be above all ethnic groups."

The bird envoys all wore tiger-skin skirts and jackets, with bright bird feathers on their heads.

Asuka envoys are the messengers who convey information, and they are also the soldiers around the generals. They have bright feathers on their heads, and anyone who sees them in Tubo should avoid them.

The Asuka envoys said one after another: "The wise and powerful theory will surely occupy Longyou, and let this fertile land be illuminated by the light of the god Zanpu!"

Shang Qi nodded in satisfaction, and suddenly heard the commotion outside the camp.

Surrounded by his subordinates, he walked to the edge of the camp, only to see a military judge holding bamboo slips, scolding some ragged Han Wen Mo.

But Wen Mo, a group of Han people, surrounded a warrior in leather armor with copper on his arm, and angrily grabbed the warrior's hands and feet.

"What the hell happened! Why did this group of Wen Mo want to commit crimes? Don't you know that Wen Mo offends nobles and will be swallowed by evil spirits after death?"

Shang Qi Xin'er shouted loudly, the group of Han slaves let go of their hands in fright, and knelt on the ground one after another.

The samurai surrounded by slaves finally got out of trouble. He was just about to draw out his knife and kill the gang of slaves. When he saw Shang Qixin'er, he immediately knelt down and said, "Dalun!"

Shang Qixin asked: "When docile sheep bite people, it must be because of the shepherd's improper methods. Why are you surrounded by these gentle sheep?"

The samurai knelt down and said: "Reporting to Dalun, I raced horses with my companions and accidentally trampled to death their companions. These Wen Mo dragged me to see the military judge."

Shang Qi Xin'er asked the military judge again: "How did you judge?"

The military judge said: "Wen Mo is the property of the master. You only need to compensate the master for trampling Wen Mo to death. I asked the warriors to take out ten taels of silver to compensate their master."

Shang Qi Xin'er looked at the warrior and asked: "Can you swear to the great Tiansheng Zanpu, didn't you deliberately trample on other people's property?"

The samurai immediately swore to the god Zanpu with the rituals of the Bon religion: "I swear to the god Zanpu, my companions and I only want to race horses, and we didn't trample Wen Mo to death on purpose."

Shang Qi Xin'er said to the military judge: "According to the decree of the great Chisong Dezan, Wen Mo is the property of the master. Who is the master who trampled Wen Mo to death?"

Another Tubo warrior came out.

Shang Qixin asked: "Are you willing to forgive your companion and accept his compensation for your property loss?"

The Tubo warrior nodded.

Shang Qixin said again: "In my territory, a strong Han Wen Mo is worth ten taels of silver, but he is about to fight against the Tang people. If you lose Wen Mo, you will also lose your right-hand man. In addition to paying you ten taels of silver Silver, he will give you one-third of the spoils he got in this battle, is my sentence fair?"

Both the military judge and the two Tubo warriors knelt down to express their confidence in Shang Qixin'er's verdict.

Shang Qi Xin'er said to the Han slaves who had just captured the Tubo warriors: "You Wen Mo committed a capital crime, but kindly thank you for your companions, and pardon your capital crimes."

"But 'the sheep that don't obey the shepherd's orders will be whipped', the military judge took them down, gave each of them ten lashes, and told their masters that they must discipline their own Wen Mo well."
