Chapter 520: The Moon Full Night (Middle)

Li Qingan was excited and immediately took the letter and smiled at everyone: "This Zarik is a qualified messenger, and it's a pity to let him be a scout."

Everyone laughed, and the scout general Qin Haiyang smiled and said, "He is a talent in our scout army, so the general can't transfer him away."

"I don't adjust him, I will give him my own choice."

Li Qingan smiled and shook a letter from the message tube. He opened the letter, read it quickly, and immediately smiled, and handed the letter to everyone and said, "Look at it! This Shang Xi Dongzan is really willing to recognize the cannibal as his godfather."

Everyone was circulating the letter, which was clearly written in it. Shang Xi Dongzan recognized Dashi as the sect leader of Tubo and signed and stamped it. This meant that Shang Xi Dongzan was not saying it, he really had this intention.

Tian Ganzhen read the letter and frowned, "This Shang Xidongzan has the ambition to be Tubo Zanpu."

Li Qingan looked at him with praise, smiled and nodded, "How can you tell me if you want to tell me specifically?"

"It's very simple. Promise Tubo as a vassal state of the great canon. This is not something that Shang Xi Dongzan can do. He is just a general and has no right to decide such a major event. If he is just perfunctory, he will not admit the matter in writing. Otherwise, Tubo will be held accountable in the future and he will be the first to escape. This only shows that Shang Xi Dongzan has regarded himself as the next Zamp. Even if the great canon does not send troops, I think he will surrender to the great canon as a vassal, seeking the great canon's protection for him, and let the great canon support him for the Tubo Zamp. This should be his plan to kill two birds with one stone."

"General Tian saw Shang Xidongzan very thoroughly!"

Li Qing'an nodded and smiled, "Since this person has so many troops, he certainly has ambitions, but I think this person is not the key to the entire battle. The key is Shang Jiasu."

Speaking of Shang Jiasu, He Lou Yurun felt that he could not remain silent. He fought with Shang Jiasu in Qiemo City for several days and nights, and he had the most say in this person.

He Lou Yurun smiled and said, "General, this Shang Jiasu is our old opponent. His monk Xidongzan has always had grudges. This time, the death of Tubo Zanpu planted the root of hatred between them. Moreover, since General Tian robbed the grain, Shang Jiasu has not received any more food, so the escaped general could not go south to Xinde."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Ganzhen bowed to him and expressed his gratitude. Since he seized the city of Tawei, built a bridge on the Amu River, and attacked the Tubo army's grain team at night. These two battles have won the respect of the Anxi Army. Even Helou Yurun, who has always looked down on him, praised him more, which made Tian Ganzhen very excited, which means that he has truly integrated into the Anxi Army.

He smiled and said, "I agree with General He Lou's opinion. Shang Jiasu's food should be unable to hold on anymore. Shang Xi Dongzan has been slow to distribute food, just because he wants to use food to control Shang Jiasu. But in this way, Shang Jiasu's subordinates will inevitably hate Shang Xi Dongzan even more. General. We can make good use of the conflicts between them."

Li Qingan smiled slightly. He asked Zarik to pretend to be a messenger of the food. Isn’t it just for this day? Things were implemented step by step according to his plan. He looked at Shang Xi Dongzan’s statement again. There was no sunset on it. This should be that Shang Xi Dongzan deliberately left a way out for himself. It was because there was no sunset, so there was room for operation. Li Qingan slowly said: “It’s only three days. Perhaps, these three days will happen that we would unexpectedly have interesting stories.”

Shang Jiasu really had the plan to go south to Xinde. He knew very well that the Tang army was strong. After the Battle of Mocheng, he had a natural fear of Li Qing'an. He knew that he was not Li Qing'an's opponent, and he knew that the Tubo army was not very successful in this battle of Tocharo, so he wanted to go to Xinde and open up a new world there.

However, the lack of military rations pulled Shang Jiasu's back, and the Tang army had sent a brigade south to cut off the main road to Xinde, making his dream of Xinde unreal.

All of this was the frame-up of Shang Xi Dongzan. When it came to Shang Xi Dongzan, Shang Jiasu thought of the Battle of Qiemo City that made it difficult for him to wash away his shame. In order to conceal his incompetence, he pushed the responsibility for Qiemo's failure to Shang Xi Dongzan. Over time, even he himself believed it. It was Shang Xi Dongzan's exclusion of him that caused him to suffer the defeat of Qiemo City, but Shang Xi Dongzan easily took Tochar and took away the glory that should have belonged to him.

It is precisely so that Shang Jiasu hated Shang Xidongzan to the core, but in order to get military rations, he had to make a little compromise with Shang Xidongzan, and on the surface agreed to join forces with him to deal with the Tang army.

The grain came out and disappeared again. According to Shang Xi Dongzan's explanation, it was robbed by the Tang army, but Shang Jiasu had a deep prejudice against Shang Xi Dongzan. He did not believe Shang Xi Dongzan's explanation. He suspected that Shang Xi Dongzan was playing the show and robbed the grain himself.

Now military rations are the lifeblood of Shang Jiasu. His military rations can only be supported for two days. Although he also sent people to rob him, the wealth and food of Tochar has been looted by Shang Xi Dongzan. The food he could rob is really insignificant to the consumption of 80,000 people.

In desperation, Shang Jiasu had to convene the main generals to discuss the plan to jointly fight against the Tang army with Shang Xi Dongzan in two days. This was undoubtedly a very cowardly decision. The dignified 80,000 army actually bowed to 60,000 people.

The venue was silent, no one was willing to speak, did you obey Shangxi Dongzan? He had not yet dismissed the suspicion of Zanpu's death!

Only Shang Jiasu's dry voice echoed in the venue: "Everyone, I don't want to do it either. I personally hate him to the core, but I have no choice. Our military rations can only last for a short time. This is our weakness. Now that we have been caught by Shang Xidongzan, we can only deal with him and perfunctorily. When the food is obtained, we will leave Xinde and create a new world there."

No one responded, and Shang Jiasu began to play a small drum in his heart. He suddenly realized that he underestimated the degree of disgust of his generals towards Shang Xi Dongzan. It was because everyone suspected that the death of Zanpu was related to monk Xi Dongzan that they helped him become the head coach. Now that he wanted monk Xi Dongzan to cooperate, everyone was naturally very dissatisfied.

Shang Jiasu laughed dryly, but couldn't find anything to say. At this moment, a soldier reported at the door: "Master, the envoy of the food is here. They brought 10,000 stones of food, saying that there is something important to ask to see the Master."

When Shang Jiasu heard that 10,000 shi of grain had arrived, he was overjoyed. Although 10,000 shi was not much, they could still hold on for ten days.

"Please!" Shang Jiasu personally walked to the door to greet him. A whisper sounded in the lobby. What are the envoys of Dashi Send to do?

A dozen soldiers walked in with an Arab in white robe, following his translator. The envoy respectfully bowed to Shang Jiasu, said a few words in Arabic, and translated: "The envoy said that his name was Abu Hussein, and he was the judicial officer of Khorasan. This time he was sent by Governor of Khorasan, Anur, to discuss the details of the battle with General Shang Jiasu...."

"etc!"

Shang Jiasu stopped the translator's words. He looked back at the generals. All the generals were like him, their eyes were full of surprise. Shang Jiasu asked, "When will we say we want to cooperate with the Dashi Army?"

The translator told the messenger, and the messenger shook his head in confusion, said a long sentence, and said, "He said that General Shang Xi Dongzan, the Governor of Tochar, had reached a cooperation agreement with His Majesty of the Caliph, to deal with the Tang army, so as subordinates, we should abide by the agreement reached by the top leaders."

"Bad!" Shang Jiasu cursed in anger, "What is he? Can he represent me?"

The resentment in his heart was hard to suppress. He turned around and said to everyone, "You heard it! That bastard actually reached an agreement with Dashi on his back. He might have betrayed something. Dashi people are so enthusiastic. We cannot accept this cooperation!"

There was a quarrel in the lobby, and everyone scolded Shang Xidongzan for having ulterior motives. At this time, the envoy and the translator exchanged a few words, and the translator said: "The envoy said that Shang Xidongzan has officially recognized the Abbasid Empire as the lord of the Tubo Kingdom. You are all vassals of the Abbasid Empire. You should obey the command and not cause trouble."

As soon as this sentence came out, the lobby suddenly became silent, and everyone looked at each other. What happened? When did Tubo become someone else's vassal state?

Shang Jiasu was stunned. Shang Xidongzan was not so bold! After a while, he asked hesitantly: "You said he officially recognized the Abbas Empire as the sect leader of Tubo, what evidence do you have?"

The messenger seemed to understand his words, took out a statement from his arms and handed it to Shang Jiasu. Shang Jiasu slowly opened it. He was stunned. He could not believe his eyes, with the black and white words, with Shang Xi Dongzan's signature and seal. There was no falsehood. He could actually admit that Dashi was the culprit of Tubo, which was the power that Zanpu had!

All the generals surrounded him, most of them were illiterate, and some literate people read: "Tubo Shangxi Dongzan to the Caliphate of the Dashi Empire, His Majesty, I officially recognized the Dashi Empire as the Tubo Kingdom's Sect Master. From top to bottom, Tubo is a subordinate subject of the Dashi Empire. He pays taxes every year and pays no entrusted for thousands of years. I swear by Daxue Mountain and Nam, and what I say is being examined by the gods...."

Before he could finish his reading, someone started to curse, "It must be him, he must have killed Zampo. He wanted to steal Zampo's position. Now the truth is revealed, we must avenge Zampo!"

"Take revenge! We take revenge!" A roar sounded in the lobby. Someone drew his sword to kill the envoy of Dashi. Shang Jiasu hurriedly stopped them. He said to the envoy of Dashi: "Go back! Tell you the Caliph, we do not accept this statement. He cannot represent Tubo. He can only represent himself. You should go quickly, and you will have to worry about your life if you are one step later."

The envoy of the Great Food retreated in fear and turned around and escaped from the tent. At this time, the generals surrounded Shang Jiasu, and a leader said, "Master, Shang Xidongzan was crazy and killed Zanpu. Now he wants to be exposed to Zanpu's ambitions. We will never tolerate it. If this person is not eliminated for a day, it will definitely become a big problem for our Tubo. You decide for yourself! Should you work with us or not? If you work with us, we will regard you as the Governor of Tochar and support you as the Great Treatise on Tubo in the future. Now you cannot hesitate. Make a decision!"

Shang Jiasu had long wanted to kill Shang Xidongzan and seize his army and rations. Then he led his army to Xinde and did not fight with the Tang army. He was there when he was Xinde and Tianzhu Zanpu, but he was unable to find an excuse. Today, the envoy of the Great Food brought Shang Xidongzan's handle and made the generals take the initiative to kill this person. How could he not agree?

Shang Jiasu gritted his teeth and said, "Kill him and avenge Zanpu."

On the morning of that day, the Tubo army in Lancheng packed up their luggage and brought the grain and rice sent by the giant cannibals. The 80,000 army drove towards Ayan City. They had sufficient reasons. In order to prepare for the full moon night, the two Tubo army teams joined forces.

The team marched quickly. That night, an army of 80,000 arrived at Ayan City and stationed about five miles away from Ayan City. Shang Jiasu sent people into the city to meet Shang Xi Dongzan and invited him to discuss specific combat matters and the temporary ownership of the supreme command.

When the 80,000 Tubo troops were still thirty miles away from Ayan City, Shangxi Dongzan received news that the Tubo troops in Lancheng had actually defected to him. He couldn't help but sneer secretly. He knew they would come, and his food could no longer be overwhelmed, so he could only bow to himself.

Just like Shang Jiasu wanted to eat the Tubo army in Ayan City, Shang Xidongzan also wanted to eat the 80,000 army. This was his army, but because of Zanpu's accidental death, he was a fool Shang Jiasu, now he only has 60,000 troops. If he could take down these 80,000 troops, it means that he had the capital to compete with the Tang army. If he lost, he could still go south to India and Xinde, where he could ascend the throne to the emperor.

At this time, Shang Jiasu's envoy arrived and reported to him: "My general has established a large middle tent outside the city, which is far away from the army. Please ask General Shangxi Dongzan to go to the large middle tent to negotiate cooperation matters between the two parties."

"I get it, I'll go right away."

After sending the messenger away, Shang Xidongzan clapped his hands. At this time, several people walked into the side door next to him. Several of his personal soldiers brought one in. This person looked very similar to him, but he was a little younger, but he couldn't tell whether it was true or false after applying a little makeup.

This is a substitute found by Shang Xi Dongzan from the 100,000 army. He was originally patrolling various parts of Tochar, but now he can come in special use at critical moments.

Shang Xidongzan patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "You went to a meeting with the monk Jiasu outside the city for me. I really don't like that person. Your voice is a little hoarse, so I said I've been in a cold recently. Remember! Talk to him more about the customs and customs of Tochar and delay the time for a longer time. I will reward you with a thousand sheep afterwards."

The substitute didn't know the risk, so she agreed immediately, "Don't worry, handsome man, I will deal with it."

"Okay! You'll set out now."
