Abandoning Zong Nongzan was already confident of victory, so he was not in a hurry to attack Su Bo (after the founding of Tubo, the place where Su Pi was located was named Su Bo).
The king who returned to Luoxue City not only had to appease the local tribes, but he also had to properly handle the relationship with the Xiangxiong people.
He had promised to marry the daughter of Xiangxiong Nie Xu, but this promise was too fragile and was not enough for Xiangxiong people to treat him like his father.
Moreover, the Xiangxiong tribes occupying the same area as Daoyang are inextricably linked to Tianzhu. Because they have existed for so long, not only Tianzhu, but also the caravans of the Xiangxiong people and the monks of the Yongzhong sect have footprints reaching
I’ve been to so many places.
Compared with them, Yalong's businessmen are like children who have just left their parents' tent.
Therefore, the Xiangxiong people are an indispensable part of the prosperity of Tubo, whether in religion or business.
When Langri Lunzan was here, two of the three ministers were from Xiangxiong.
Because the Supi people are good at fighting, there are many Supi people among the generals.
The nobles of Yalong are better at managing tribal affairs.
You see, all the ministries are complementary to each other. Among the governance concepts Langri Lunzan instilled in his son, the most important one is that all ministries are integrated together, so that Tubo can truly become stronger.
Qizong Nongzan is still very young. He lacks not only experience, but also high enough prestige, so he cannot treat the Xiangxiong people like his father did, and needs more practical means to make up for it.
According to later generations, in fact, the war stage has basically passed, and what is left is human relations. If done well in this regard, the effect will be much stronger than that of war.
In the understanding of the Central Plains elites, war is often the last resort. Unless the enemy is a sworn enemy, a wise monarch will not easily fight against others.
The scope of application of this principle is very wide. No matter how barbaric the place is, it has its soil, but few people can grasp the appropriateness.
…………
Nangle City.
This place is far away from the hinterland of the south of the mountain, and is more like the border area of the Tubo Kingdom at that time. Further north are the nomadic Domi tribes at the southern foot of the Snow Mountain. For Tubo, the relationship is more like the relationship between the Central Plains and the Turks.
In April and May, a beacon fire had been ignited in the hinterland of Shannan. Although it was extinguished a bit quickly and the scale was not satisfactory, it was already an incredible war in this land, equivalent to a national war.
…………
In early May, the grass and trees on the wasteland gradually became more abundant. The Supi people are of the Western Qiang species and were originally a nomadic people. However, after moving here, they integrated with the local indigenous people and gradually evolved into a half-agricultural and half-pastoral social structure.
.
Later, everyone knew that agriculture was the foundation of the strength of the feudal dynasty, and animal husbandry was the most beneficial supplement and auxiliary. The prosperity of nomadic peoples was fleeting, and only farming empires could never cease.
The power of the Supi people is rooted in their social structure, as is the other two tribes on the plateau, so they can play the same tricks as the Three Kingdoms here.
…………
As an envoy from the Tang Dynasty to Supi, Cheng Dashu had no interest in studying these things. Since he came to Ninger City last winter and quickly walked into the queen's palace, he has become one of the nobles of Supi.
a member of.
As time passed, the queen gave him many slaves and gave him a position, allowing him to lead the soldiers to guard the palace. The identity of Tang Envoy was rarely mentioned anymore.
Hou Junji looked at this carefree bearded man with envy and frustration, so he often whispered in Cheng Zhijie's ear, hoping that this guy would not forget what he came to Tibet for.
Cheng Dabeard felt that he had read it right. This man looked like a woman and was even more arrogant than his own mother-in-law. He didn't want to think that everyone would come to such a ghost place. If they couldn't mingle with the local savages, they would be eaten by them.
Already?
As for Hou Junji's idea of continuing south and visiting Luoshou City, Cheng Zhijie even scoffed.
In his opinion, the civil strife among the Tubo people was just that. It was similar to the scenes he saw among the rebels back then, and there was nothing new about it.
If you come to me today, I'm afraid you will have to find another place to go tomorrow.
What you need to do at this time is not to rush in, but to open your eyes and see clearly who is strong and who is weak. If you really can’t see clearly, it’s best to hide in a safe place and watch the fun until you can see the situation clearly.
Say it again.
This is a bloody lesson that Cheng Dabeard learned during the wars in Shandong and Henan. Otherwise, how could Cheng Dabeard survive to this day?
So he stayed very honestly all winter. Well, the word "honest" has nothing to do with him. He first coaxed the queen to get a position. As for slaves and land, it was all nonsense. He didn't want to be in this damn place.
settle down.
That is to say, he doesn't care about reputation, otherwise Hou Junji and the people he brought would all die here. Everyone knows that Cheng Dabeard became the face of Queen Subi.
Once he returns to the Tang Dynasty and what he did is spread, will someone who cares about reputation have to die of shame?
With his position, he became even more comfortable among the Supi nobles. One day he was drinking with this one, and the next he was out hunting in the city with that one. He looked like a favorite of the queen.
Hou Junji's words could not change the bearded man's behavior, so after the weather became warmer, Cheng Zhijie told Hou Junji and others that we could not set off south and would wait here for news from Liangzhou.
One winter has passed, and we asked the court for help on behalf of the Supi people. This is a major matter, and we cannot act without authorization before getting the news.
After talking about these great principles, he looked at Hou Junji who was very unconvinced and said: "If you are willing, my dear brother, I can recommend you to obey the orders of the little queen and lead the troops to fight with others, but I don't know.
Can that woman trust my wise brother?"
He was very unsteady when he spoke, blinking his eyes with a strange expression.
Several other men present at the meeting laughed evilly, knowing that someone with tender skin and tender flesh like General Hou would definitely be liked by the little queen.
Hou Junji had some intentions, he hadn't led troops for a long time, his hands and heart were itchy, but after looking at the crowd, he suddenly felt like vomiting blood. These bastards, they...
Who do I want to be?
I'm a tall man, but I don't have the shamelessness of that guy Cheng Zhijie.
In fact, he also saw that not only did Cheng Dabeard not want to risk going south, but also the people who followed, all of them looked fierce, but in fact they were very precious about their lives and did not want to rush rashly under unknown circumstances.
Go south.
They walked all the way to Supi, and many people had died. It would be okay if they were fighting with the enemy, but the road in this ghost place is really difficult. No matter how strong a man is, he has to consider whether he can survive.
Go back alive.
It's more reassuring to follow General Cheng. General Hou...forget it, that's a guy seeking death...
