In Luoche City, the royal city of Zanpu in Tubo, the upper echelons of Tibet had just concluded a "feast".
The host of this banquet is naturally the supreme god Zanpu Trisong Detsen.
Those who participated in this feast were all high-ranking nobles of the Tubo royal court.
The meat and wine of this feast was the Shang Qixin'er family who was defeated and killed in Hexi.
The noble status of the Lu family was kicked down and turned into the meanest slave in the whole of Tubo.
The political struggle in Tubo was so bloody and cruel that all the adult males who did not have the Lu family were exterminated overnight.
The old people who were unable to work were thrown into the streets from the wealthy manors and castles, and the younger women were divided among the various nobles. What awaited them would be a fate more tragic than death.
Children under the age of ten also became the lowest wen mo, just like they treated their own slaves. These slaves were locked in cells under the castle and had to bear heavy labor every day.
In Tubo, losers have no rights at all.
All the family assets without the Lu family were divided up. When all the dust settled, Trisong Dezan finally began to fight back against the Tang Dynasty.
A castle for the Tang army had been built on the Tang-Tibet ancient road leading north to Tuyuhun, and it seemed that they would not be able to gain any advantage.
In fact, Trisong Detsen did not have much desire for the territory of Tuyuhun.
These are high-altitude mountainous areas, the land is very barren, and during the time when various foreign races lived together, it was not fertile land at all.
In the past, Shang Qixin'er was entrusted as the host to occupy the Tuyuhun area, which was actually to plot the fertile Hexi and Longyou areas.
It can even be said that no one in the Tubo royal court wanted to "recover" Tuyuhun.
Attacking Tuyuhun was a bad deal for Trisong Dezan.
The Tuyuhun area is far away from the core area of Tubo. Even if it is captured, it will still have to be managed by Dalu.
Although the vassals were required to pay taxes, after Shang Qixin'er occupied the Tuyuhun area, she believed that the Tuyuhun area was barren for a long time and refused to pay taxes.
Zamp was unwilling to take action, and other powerful nobles were also unwilling to send troops.
Not to mention how difficult it is to deal with these Tang troops, how to distribute the Tuyuhun area after they are really defeated is still unclear. Now that they are bleeding and sending troops, they may end up being used as wedding dresses for other families.
In fact, Qinchuan's judgment about Tubo was very correct. Tubo was a country with a tribal alliance system, and Zanpu was just the most powerful chief.
If Zamp cannot guarantee his own strength, he will become a puppet of other nobles.
Tubo Zampu needs to balance the local nobles and prevent the emergence of powerful officials who threaten the interests of the Zampu family.
Other families should also beware of Zamp asking them to die or plundering their property.
It can be said that the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, brothers in distress, both faced the problem of separatist feudal rule.
It would be too difficult to break through the Jishishan Fortress in the north, and it would be too costly to attack Tuyuhun.
The west's threat to the Tang Dynasty through the Western Regions was only scratching the surface, and the Tang Dynasty's influence in the Western Regions was still very strong.
Then we can only start from the south.
Zanpu held a meeting in Zanputing. Zanpu, who was sitting high on the gorgeous throne, watched the Nandao Grand Lun Shang Jiezan, who had eaten up a large amount of Lu family's property this time.
Shang Jiezan understood what Zanpu meant, and he immediately said:
"The great god Zanpu, the tiger must attack other beasts that invade its territory. The Tang people have already bullied their faces, and we must fight back!"
God Zanpu looked at Shang Jiezan calmly and nodded slightly.
Immediately, a minister jumped out. Trisong Dezan took a look and found that it was Lunma Xiangzhong who always liked to play devil's advocate.
The anti-Buddhist leader minister said:
"Now that the entire host road has been lost and autumn has arrived, how can we retaliate against the Tang people?"
Shang Jiezan said: "The East Road has been lost, and the Tang family's fortress has been built on Jishi Mountain. Therefore, this treatise recommends attacking the Tang family from the south!"
The Tibetan ministers who attended this meeting all looked at Shang Jiezan.
The so-called attack from the south means attacking the Tang Dynasty from the southern Tubo Road where Shang Jiezan is located.
The South Tubo Road is connected to the Xichuan area in central Sichuan of the Tang Dynasty. This is also the fertile land that Shang Jiezan has coveted for a long time.
Shang Jiezan was not just talking, he had already made a complete plan.
Shang Jiezan said: "Please Zanpu write a letter to Zanpu Zhong in Nanzhao and ask Nanzhao to attack Xichuan in the Tang Dynasty with our Nandao army!"
"Now the elite troops of the Tang Dynasty are fighting to regain their capital. Now is a good opportunity to attack Xichuan."
"You can also blackmail the Tang people, order them to return to the host road, and punish King Jianning!"
After listening to Shang Jiezan's words, Chisong Dezan felt very happy.
This young Zampu often compared himself to Tubo Songtsan Gampo, thinking that he was the powerful leader of Tibet.
Immediately after taking the throne, he started reforms to support Buddhism. However, not only were the reforms hindered, but now he has lost a large area of host territory.
This was quite frustrating for the conceited Trisong Detsen.
Today, Shang Jiezan's suggestion made Chisong Dezan very satisfied.
Due to Tubo's aggressive attitude, King Nanzhao has accepted the title of Zanpu Zhong.
Zanpu Zhong means "Zanpu's younger brother" in Tubo language.
This is equivalent to Nanzhao surrendering to Tubo.
Ordering Nanzhao to send troops to Xichuan of the Tang Dynasty, Nanzhao must be willing to do so.
The wealth of Bashu has always been the envy of Tubo. If Xichuan can be captured, then it will not be a loss to lose a Tubo east road.
Even if he could not capture Xichuan, Chisong Dezan felt that he had gained a lot by plundering the rich Bashu.
Trisong Dezan nodded and said: "Shang Jiezan, I am giving you 30,000 Dongdai Forbidden Army. As long as you can invade Xichuan of the Tang Dynasty, your Nang family can have another name."
Shang Jiezan was overjoyed when he heard this. Originally, he only wanted to get Nanzhao's response to send troops.
But now Zanpu actually spent 30,000 Dongdai Forbidden Army in a big way. Shang Jiezan knelt on the ground and said:
"With God Zanpu's Dongdai army, Shang Jiezan will definitely be able to invade Shu and repay God Zanpu with the most exquisite Sichuan brocade!"
This meeting of Zamputing was over, and the bird envoy went to Nanzhao with Zampu's personal letter.
Trisong Detsen took out the red book, which was the population base book recording the names of "Gui" and "Wenmo".
The Dongdai area is an area directly controlled by Zanpu and is also the most prosperous area in Tubo.
The reason why the Zanpu family was able to rule Tubo, in addition to the Zanpu position passed down from generation to generation, was because of the Dongdai Forbidden Army.
It's just that Tubo's system is a farming system, and these Dongdai Imperial Guards usually farm at home.
As long as Zamp needs it, they will put down their farm tools and go to the battlefield. They are a very powerful force.
The Dongdai Forbidden Army can only fight with about 100,000 troops. This time, it is considered that Chisong Dezan has invested a lot of money to bring out 30,000 troops.
After checking his name on the red book, Chisong Dezan said to the bird messenger beside him:
"Take my order and set up an aniseed gathering in Dongdai. It must be completed within ten days with livestock and grain."
"Tell them that this battle is to avenge the brave warriors of Eastern Tibet!"
The bird envoy immediately took Zamp's order and headed to the Dongdai area at full speed.
At this time Trisong Detsen said again:
"We Tubo are different from the cunning Tang people. It is cowardly to go to war without declaring it."
"In the name of Zamputing, write a letter to the Tang court and tell them the reason for the war!"
"If the emperor of the Tang family can personally restrain King Chou of Jianning to the border and offer the Tubo East Road with both hands, there will be peace between Tang and Tibet!"
The bird envoy recorded Trisong Detsen's order and immediately rushed to Zamputing to find someone who could write a Han article and draft Zampu's ultimatum.
After all this work, Trisong Detsen felt tired, so he returned to his gorgeous backyard and started today's fun.
Monk Yuantong and another group of players disguised as monks have quietly sneaked into the Dongdai area of Tubo.
Trisong Detsen promoted Buddhism in Tubo, and there were many people who worshiped Buddhism in the Dongdai area.
Yuantong and his entourage did not attract much attention. Today there are still many monks with Tubo and Han faces.
Staying in a small manor, Yuantong finished the butter tea served by the manor owner and said to another player:
"We will arrive at Luosu City next month, so we have to be careful then."
This player named himself "Fa Hai". He nodded and said:
"Don't worry, boss, we understand!"
Fahai asked curiously: "Boss, I heard that Master Padmasambhava will soon enter the realm of logic. Does Padmasambhava really have magic power?"
"I heard that he refined the gods and ghosts of Tubo, a being that even Bon priests fear!"
Padmasambhava was invited to be buried by Trisong Detsen, and now the myth about him has spread throughout the Dongdai area.
This eminent monk from Nepal seems to have huge magical power. He has been refining gods and demons since entering Tubo. It is said that he has subdued hundreds of demons!
Padmasambhava, the tantric master, also plays a very important role in Tibetan Buddhism and is a character who appears in many novels.
Although everyone knows that "Feng Yun of the Tang Dynasty" is a realistic historical game, but what if it really has elements of martial arts and immortality?
Yuantong said: "You guys have read too many online novels about Padmasambhava conquering gods and demons."
" Padmasambhava is a mortal monk. After Padmasambhava entered Tubo, he has been translating Sanskrit Buddhist scriptures and integrating local Tubo legends into the Buddhist scriptures he translated."
"To put it bluntly, this is a monk who carries private goods."
"However, his method is very effective. He integrated the original gods and demons system of Bon religion into Buddhism, making Buddhism more easily accepted by ordinary Tubo people."
"To convert the original Tubo gods and demons into Buddhism and then invite them into Buddhist temples, this is the true meaning of Padmasambhava's surrender of gods and demons."
"Later generations spread rumors, and they really thought that this monk had magical powers!"
