Tozan Gampo looked coldly at the many lamas in front of him, then slowly stood up, picked up the tiger charm on the table, and walked to a dying old man.
"Old General, it is more appropriate for me to leave the future of the Tubo Kingdom in your hands. Now immediately assemble the army to go south. We must annihilate all the merchant armies that have invaded our territory."
The old man looked to be in his sixties, his body was a bit stooped, and the skin all over his body was wrinkled, making it difficult to walk.
It seems inappropriate to let such an old man lead troops in a war.
But the civil and military ministers in the court became excited, especially when they saw Tozan Gampo handing the tiger charm to the old man, they were even more excited and shouted for wisdom.
Jiu Hongzhi frowned, but at this time, he couldn't say much. After all, the three armies he arranged had failed.
The old man took the tiger charm with some trembling and coughed twice.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go into battle and kill the enemy on your behalf, but with my body in this state, I'm afraid I won't live up to your expectations!"
Tozan Ganbu looked indifferent and waved directly to the corner next to him, and a dozen men walked out neatly. Each of them was wearing heavy armor, and the oldest was only forty years old.
, the youngest is just in his early twenties.
"Old General, these are the generals I have carefully selected. I would like to ask you, old man, to lead them. They will be responsible for the actual charge. You only need to sit in the center and strategize."
The old man nodded and agreed reluctantly.
The lama next to him was extremely angry, but he didn't dare to show off.
If those three armies were victorious, even if only one of them achieved results, they would be able to truly gain a foothold in the Tubo Kingdom and even gain more rights.
But now that the three armies were not successful, they also lost a total of 600,000 troops. Tozan Gampo took this opportunity to insert the royal family's children into the army, and at the same time took back the power that had been occupied by their group of lamas for many years.
, I have to say, this is an earth-shaking change.
"National Master! Do you have any opinions?"
Tozan Gampo's words sounded like he was asking for Jiu Hongzhi's opinion, but in fact he was giving a warning.
"Old General Zangluotian takes action in person, and he will naturally return with a great victory. Of course the poor monk has no objection!"
Speaking of which, everything that happened today was all a show played by Tozan Gampo and Zang Luotian, in order to legitimately take back all their rights.
Since Jiu Hongzhi said it for this reason, Tozan Gampo was not polite.
"From today on, the old general Zangluotian will be the marshal of our army. All the armies in the country will be controlled by him alone."
Hearing this, Jiu Hongzhi and the lamas present suddenly lost their composure.
They originally thought that Tozan Gampo was just taking back some of his troops in a symbolic way, but they didn't expect that he would take them back so cleanly.
But at this time, they couldn't say much, so they could only grit their teeth and agree.
After Zhao Rui captured Qiluo City, he began to gather the surrounding people, and at the same time asked his men to disguise themselves and blend into other cities. It didn't take long for a large number of people to continuously gather under his men.
After Lesheng defeated the other two Tubo armies, he also developed in all directions and captured several cities in succession.
However, they did not take the opportunity to expand their victory. Instead, they sent down all the craftsmen brought from Dashang, and at the same time summoned a large number of manpower to repair bridges and pave roads.
It is extremely difficult to build roads on such a plateau. Fortunately, there are some simple transportation facilities here, and it is enough to connect them.
