Shixiazi where Li Xia was stationed was located between Xingqing Mansion and Hehuang, about the same distance from the two places.
Therefore, after repelling Dong Wenbing, he did not move the camp immediately, but continued to deal with the news from both sides.
And on June 14, the news about He Huang finally arrived.
"After Yuan general Cui Bin suddenly attacked Tubo Zhao Age Ben, he chased him to Yanchi and was besieged by the Tubo tribesmen who came over. Although these Tubo tribesmen did not wear armor and did not fight head-on with the Yuan army, they often took advantage of the night to
Attack the Yuan army, steal the Yuan army's horses and hide them in the mountains..."
Hearing this, Li Xia couldn't help but think that when Ashu attacked Sichuan and Sichuan, Dali's tribesmen also stole the Mongolian army's horses into the mountains.
It can be seen that tribesmen from all over the world are similar.
The messenger continued: "General Song has approached the Yanchi, but the terrain in Qinghai is high and steep, many soldiers are sick, and the army is short of food and grass. He is contacting Zhao Age Ben to attack Cui Bin in front and behind. As long as Zhao Age Ben agrees, this will
General Song was confident of annihilating the Yuan army in the First World War. However, General Song did not know what conditions to promise Brother Zhao Ben, so he sent me to report to His Majesty."
Li Xia thought for a while and said: "In return for Song He, you only need to be careful to prevent Cui Bin from breaking out, and don't rush to contact Zhao Age Ben. It's time for Zhao Age Ben to contact him on his own initiative. Let him remember that this is Tubo.
The people are facing a powerful enemy, and it is they who should ask us for reinforcements."
"yes."
Li Xia was no longer worried about the war in Hehuang. He took a few steps and asked, "Is there any news about Yan Yunyun?"
"Not yet. General Song sent someone to question Brother Zhao Ben, saying that Mr. Yan got lost on the night of the war."
Li Xia asked for details again, frowned, and already had plans to go to Hehuang.
Just at this moment, a guard hurried outside the tent with a very urgent tone.
"Your Majesty, they are back, they are back..."
"Who's back?"
"Hao... Taoist Master Hao and the others have brought back Meng Yuan's master Ba Siba!"
Although Pasiba must be a key to Tubo, Li Xia did not meet Pasiba immediately, but went to see Hao Xiuyang first.
After people like Hao Xiuyang were separated from Li Bing, they had a hard time returning from the Qilian Mountains. This road took longer than taking the official road, and many people died.
Speaking of this experience, the old Taoist priest couldn't bear to look back and sighed repeatedly: "If it weren't for the protection of the Heavenly Master, the old Taoist would definitely die in the Qilian Mountains."
Li Xia met Han Wufei again.
He heard that something happened to Yan Yunyun, and wanted to go to Qinghai in person. On the one hand, he was worried about this old subordinate who had always worked hard, and on the other hand, Tubo was in serious trouble. If something happened to Yan Yunyun, he would have to contact Tubo personally.
But seeing the worry and concern in Han Wufei's eyes, Li Xia changed his mind and said: "Are you willing to serve as my envoy to the Tibetan tribe in Qinghai? Ask Brother Zhao where he hid your wife.
and find her."
Han Wufei was scratched all over the Qilian Mountains. He had been standing behind the team with his head lowered before. When he heard this, he stepped forward and kowtowed awkwardly, saying: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Xia explained a few more words and asked someone to take him to prepare.
Hao Xiuyang looked at Han Wufei's back, sighed, and said: "Your Majesty fulfilled his wish. He originally planned to send Ba Siba to Qinghai before going to Qinghai. The old Taoist thought that he was incompetent, but he didn't
I think Yan Shangshu, an official, is quite reliable."
"I see." Li Xia didn't have time to listen to Hao Xiuyang's more detailed explanation of the Qilian Mountains, and said, "Bring Ba Siba here..."
~~
It wasn't until he actually saw Pasiba that Li Xia understood why the world called him a saint.
Perhaps it is really because of his spiritual practice, or perhaps it is because he is born with a holy temperament. This young red lama really makes people think that he is an enlightened monk at first sight.
Li Xia looked at him and suddenly heard him say something.
It's not a salute, it's not a request for mercy.
Ba Siba stared into Li Xia's eyes and asked word by word: "The soul returns and changes the world?"
For a moment, Li Xia was really startled and felt a chill running down his spine.
However, he soon realized that this was not a secret. He had told it to many people, including Li Yong, Hao Xiuyang, Asha Yu, and many others. There were even many people in their so-called Qingming Sect.
Believe that he is the king of Hades.
After realizing this, Li Xia realized that what really frightened him was not the words themselves, but Ba Siba's eyes.
He then asked: "Do you believe it?"
"I believe it." Pasiba nodded immediately, the light in his eyes getting brighter.
Li Xia asked: "Why do you believe it?"
"Because I am also reincarnated with the memories of my previous life."
Pasiba's words will never stop unless they are amazing.
At this moment, his eyes became more compassionate and wise, and his tone became older.
"In my previous life, I was an old monk from Gongtang, named 'Saton Repa'. It was the god Yejia who came to me and said, 'Sangcha has prayed repeatedly to rule Tubo, but he himself has no such fate. You
I should go to his house and govern Tubo, so I was reincarnated as the son of Sancha."
Of course Li Xia didn't believe this.
He was surprised that Pasiba could speak so realistically.
Hao Xiuyang took a few steps forward and whispered to Li Xia: "What he said is true."
"Yeah?"
"When he was still very young, he met with monks with his uncle and said to one of the old monks, 'You are my close attendant Tashi Dundup.' After Tashi Dundup verified it, he cried and worshiped him. This matter was all said to the Tibetan monks.
Know."
"The old Taoist priest is a Taoist, but he also believes in this?" Li Xia couldn't help but ask.
"He convinced me." Hao Xiuyang's eyes were blazing, and he swept away the fatigue before and said: "I also convinced him."
Li Xia then looked at Asha who was standing aside silently.
Asha looked at Li Xia with eyes still filled with the admiration of believers, and said: "What this monk said is true. Like you, Pluto, he is the reincarnation of the soul."
Li Xia thought to herself that after Asha had gradually regained her consciousness over the years, her words became increasingly outrageous.
He already understood what they were thinking.
It can be imagined that on the way over the Qilian Mountains, these three people who believe in Buddhism, Taoism, and ghosts have reached a new consensus.
It's like Kublai Khan received the Vajra Initiation from Pasipa at Liupan Mountain and regarded Pasipa as his guru. What's important is that in addition to Kublai Khan being able to practice Buddhism, there are also huge political benefits. This was the previous consensus.
Now, Pasiba does not need Li Xia to receive initiation and become a Buddhist. He only needs to confirm the innate vision with Li Xia.
This lama is amazing. He defeated the Taoists in the debate between Buddhism and Taoism. Now as a prisoner, he was able to convince Hao Xiuyang and Asha Yu.
But is this not what Hao Xiuyang and Asha Yu want?
What about Li Xia?
He didn't like this very much in his heart. He even felt the displeasure of being kidnapped and controlled, and he became very vigilant in his heart.
He is no longer the free soul when he first arrived. He has become a king. Even if he has become an emperor, he has mastered the imperial power.
What can make the imperial power instantly feel vigilant, repelled, and very uncomfortable is what the three people in front of them are working together to promote... divine power.
Li Xia was almost ready to refuse.
However, after he thought about it for a long time, many pictures emerged in his mind.
That vast southwest territory with spectacular landforms... For its sake, even Kublai Khan could sit there and let Phagpa use nectar, mantras, bells and pestles to disperse his sins.
What Kublai Khan could do, Li Xia can do too.
The territory owned by Dayuan will not be lost in his hands.
"Master Sutton Repa." Li Xia clasped his hands together and said to Ba Siba: "Perhaps we have met in previous lives?"
Ba Siba smiled and bowed. Instead of answering Li Xia's words, he recited a poem.
"It goes without saying that the old spirit on the Sansheng Stone is admiring the moon and chanting in the wind. I feel ashamed that my old friend is visiting me from afar. Although the opposite sex will always exist in this body..."
~~
Li Xia could feel that Meng Yuan was losing Tubo.
And he was personally fighting for Tubo's surrender.
Just three days later, another good news came.
To his surprise, Yan Yunyun actually captured the real gold, and took the real gold to escape the Yuan army's search, and found Li Bing's troops who had retreated to the Qilian Mountains again.
When this news came, Li Bing had already escorted Yan Yunyun back to Liangzhou from Hehuang with real gold deposits.
Although Song He is still confronting Cui Bin, the victory or defeat of this battle has been decided, and there is almost no suspense.
Han Wufei had already set off for Qinghai, and he might meet Yan Yunyun on the Huangshui River.
For Li Xia, although Tubo has not surrendered yet, just escorting Pasiba back to Tubo with real gold is the best result.
This time, it can be said that I was extremely lucky.
Next, you need to embrace Tubo and fight for the Loop.
At this time, the message from the north was also delivered. When he learned that Tachaer had led an army to Xingqing Mansion, Li Xia didn't show much expression and just ordered to set off to support Li Zengbo and meet Tachaer.
~~
At the same time, amidst the yellow sand in the sky, a small group of Tang troops finally rushed back to an oasis in the Tengger Desert.
"General!"
Wang Mancang got off his horse, wiped the sand from his mouth while talking, rushed to Yang Ben, and kept shaking his head.
"No, not a single Yuan army was found... They were either all dead, or they didn't come back at all."
Yang Ben couldn't believe it. He looked down at the map in his hand again and murmured: "That shouldn't be the case. It's impossible for Dong Wenbing to pass through the defense line that His Majesty personally deployed. Then where else can he go after his defeat if he doesn't return to Blackwater City?"
"That's it."
Wang Mancang spat out another mouthful of sand. Because his lips were too dry, he wiped the small amount of saliva on his fingers back and said, "Where else can the Yuan army go in this vast desert?"
"Dong Wenbing...Brother Dong..." Yang Ben murmured: "A person who even Kublai Khan calls eldest brother should have some ability. Where can he go..."
