♂Love in & Wen!.., free reading of wonderful novels without pop-ups!

Tubo Zampo will hold an annual alliance with the ministers every year, and if the Tubo Zampo is happy, the annual alliance is not unheard of.

As long as he wants to toss, all ministers such as Fanzhen will set off for the holy city: Luoxe City (Lhasa).

The purpose of their alliance is to ensure the legitimacy of Tubo Zanpu.

The use of blood for the alliance and other ancient rituals to prove that Zanpu is the only one, and it is also an important ceremony for them to sign a contract and pledge allegiance to Zanpu.

The influence of Songtsen Gampo in Tubo is unparalleled, and his grandson Mang Song Mangzan, after inheriting his brilliant industry, especially with the assistance of Lu Dongzan, put the entire Tubo royal family in one In an extremely stable and stable situation.

The Tubo army is like a copy of the Datang army, but in a general sense.

If you really study the establishment of the Tubo army, you will find that their centripetal force and loyalty have nothing to do with the country, but with people.

Just as the minister of the feudal town was only loyal to Tubo Zamp, not Tubo, the hierarchical classes under the monarchy system made many officials know that the king did not recognize Tibet.

Tubo has sixty-one soldiers in Dongdai, just like the Thousand Households in Datang, each thousand households are under the control of the higher level Ru.

Tubo divided into seven rus and commanded its 61 thousand households. As the top-level power royal family in the empire, each year a different number of people will be drawn from each ru to form the royal army, which is the direct force of Zanpu, and the rest It is under the jurisdiction of Qiru.

Therefore, in Tubo, apart from the prime ministers like Zanpu and Lu Dongzan, the most powerful and most likely to overthrow the Tubo regime are the seven noble classes that govern Qiru.

Some people call them the "Seven Kings of Tianchi", scattered around the cities of Luo, and they are divided into vassals by Zamp, like princes, to govern the army in hand, to stabilize Zamp's royal family and to expand the territory and conquer the battlefield.

Tactics such as instigating rebellion and separation are completely useless for Tubo, which is thriving and has a relatively complete and stable political system.

The people here are as clear and pure as the sky here in their belief in Zampo. People's thinking is also purely loyal to the great Songtsen Gambo.

Li Hong was sitting in the camp, listening to the reports of Cheetah, Jingzhe and Hengqiao, the horizontal knife in his hand was pulling back and forth on the ground. He didn't believe that the Tubo was like an iron plate with no gaps at all.

"Are you sure you haven't found someone who can be used by us?" Li Hong's tone was light, as if he was afraid of shocking someone.

But the cheetah trio had pale faces. In two years, they and others had not succeeded in instigating a counter-rebellion, even a prominent figure in Tubo.

And their biggest gain was that they did not need to use their brains to make a great achievement, that is, assassinating the generals of more than 1,000 Tubo families.

Today, the Tubo generals with more than 1,000 households are all soldiers. They are guarded by a large number of soldiers when they go out and return. They have become Tubo national treasures.

"The loyalty of each of the Seven Heavenly Red Kings is beyond our imagination. No matter whether it is money, beauty, or power, there is no way to make them move any thoughts." Cheetah and Jingzhe knelt on the ground and bowed their heads. Said.

His Royal Highness gave them the maximum rights, but in the end, apart from the assassination of many Tubo generals with Heng Qiao of "Jingwei", there was no other credit.

This made them look very ashamed when facing Li Hong's inquiry, and felt that they had lived up to the trust and expectations of His Highness.

"Do you know Songjie Chidu?" Li Hong took out a list from his arms. In addition to the names of the Seven Heavenly Chi Kings, there was also a person named Songjie Chidu.

As for Li Hong's questioning, the three looked at each other, then nodded in unison, and said, "Master, the slave and maid know this person."

"Tell me about him." Li Hong watched Bai Qi walk in leisurely from the outside, and his black fur became brighter, like silk and satin, which made people want to touch him in his arms.

"Lord, Chidu Songjie is a small minister of Tubo, only one level lower than the current Tubo prime minister Galzandro. He is also a powerful figure in Tubo. I heard that this person is very difficult to entangle, but for Zamp Extremely loyal." Cheetah said with a solemn expression.

"In addition to Zanpu, Tubo is the prime minister, then the minor prime minister, and then the internal prime minister, the whole affairs prime minister, and other official ranks. Chidu Songjie has been suppressed by Lu Dongzan for many years. After his death, he was suppressed by Lu Dongzan’s second son, Gal Zanzhuo." Li Hong stroked Bai Qi who was sitting at his feet, and continued: "Heng Qiao, you can go to Luo and try to All Songjie contacted."

Li Hong was able to have the information of Songjie Chidu because Bai Chun secretly sent information through the caravan after he entered Tubo.

But Chidu Songjie, as the cheetah said, is extremely cunning and suspicious and cautious in his personality.

So up to now, only Bai Chun has had a brief contact with him, and he hasn't received any promises.

Datang is now a vast land with sparsely populated areas, not to mention Tibet, which is on the "roof of the world", on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Since entering Tubo, Li Hong's more than 20,000 soldiers and horses have not encountered effective resistance until now.

Occasionally, I will encounter some small tribal armed forces, as few as a few dozen people, as many as two to three hundred people. After one impact, they are defeated by Li Hong's iron cavalry and lose their combat effectiveness.

Just like the small waves splashing under Li Hong's iron ride on this road, it is impossible to prepare Li Hong's iron ride for more than two years, which poses a slight threat.

But as it got deeper and deeper, the number of Tubo soldiers increased. Fortunately, there were two guides who had been traveling east and west in Tubo for two years, Jingzhe and Cheetah.

So Li Hong did not suffer from the unfamiliar terrain. On the contrary, the previous encounters caused some careless Tubo soldiers to suffer a lot.

The seven kings of Tianchi, each has a royal city, each has a fief, and each is in charge of a Tubo army.

Judging from the map hand-painted by Jingzhe and Cheetah, it looks like it is ranked according to the Big Dipper, keeping the holy city of Tubo in the middle.

These eight cities are basically the most prosperous and largest cities in Tubo. The other small tribes may either depend on or be suppressed and subdued.

In short, in this area guarded by several large tribes such as Ali, Shannan, and Nagqu, Zanpu of Tubo is like a god, worshipped by everyone.

Zedang, the royal city of Nie Chizan, one of the Seven Heavenly Red Kings, is also the first Tubo general to bear the brunt of the battle against Li Hong.

Lawlessness and Quan Yi are in the camp, and under Li Hong's command, their eyes are fixed on the rough map.

Every terrain, every small nomadic tribe, even a small mountain valley, etc., was carefully analyzed by Li Hong.

Fortifications in the field. This is the first time Li Hong has set up. Even the lawlessness can see a trace of dignity and caution from Li Hong's face.

In the past few years, they have followed His Royal Highness in many small-scale battles, but this is the first time to build fortifications.

The fortifications to lure the enemy, the fortifications that are expected to annihilate the enemy, the fortifications to stop the enemy’s breakthrough, and the fortifications of reinforcements. After Li Hong arrived thirty miles below Zedang City, he began to build in this open area .

The wide and flat grassland was dug by Li Hong with trenches, which made Lawless not knowing what it was for. Even Nie Chizan, one of the Seven Heavenly Red Kings in Zedang City, was confused.

The perfect battlefield for cavalry rushing to the extreme. The trenches dug by Datang’s generals are similar to the canals irrigated by water, but it is still far from the Jiqu River. Why did he dig these trenches?

Nie Chizan stood on the head of the city and watched. The excellent weather made his vision extremely clear, and he could even see the cavalry of Datang running back and forth.

Looking at the ponies under the hips, Nie Chizan couldn’t help showing his disdain. He wanted to beat their tall horses too?

A group of cavalry with more than a dozen people left a cloud of smoke and dust on the field, and then quickly entered from the gate of Zedang City.

In a short while, the Tubo soldiers on horseback appeared on the city’s head, and said to Nie Chizan: “The Tang Dynasty cavalry is about 20,000 people. Like the previous investigation, they did not move, like Waiting for reinforcements."

"Tonight, we don’t have to wait for the reinforcements of Chizan. We have enough to eat them. But we have to pay tribute to the Warriors of Datang. This is the first time they have attacked us. It's in Tubo." Nie Chizan was very relaxed, as if tomorrow, when the sun rises, all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty outside the city will be killed by them or become their slaves.

The Tang Dynasty cavalry is not good at fighting on the plateau, and now their horses look short and small, and they simply cannot withstand the impact of their good Tubo horses.

If you still can’t hold these people with the 50,000 people in your hand, you can get the title of Seven Heavenly Red Kings.

Comfortable daytime, slowly in the sun, away from people’s vision.

The hazy night is caught in a cold breeze, so people have to wake up their spirits and begin to resist the long cold night~IndoMTL.com~The camp tents of the Tang army in the wilderness are brightly lit, whether it is food or each No one knows how they got it.

It's a remote place, but looking at the appearance of Datang's army, it doesn't seem to have come from an expedition at all. The food and grass are sufficient, it seems that it just came out of which city.

Fifty thousand cavalrymen drove out of the gate silently, and then the wide gate slowly closed.

Under the leadership of Nie Chizan, the Tubo soldiers did not immediately attack, but slowly stepped on their feet until they could see the brightly lit camp of Tang Dynasty, and even the soldiers walking at the door. When they could see clearly, they began to unfold the formation silently like a tide, preparing to attack the camp of Datang.

Nie Chizan looked at the still ignorant Datang camp and sneered: "Is the commander of Datang a pig? We are all here now, they don't even know it."
