Chapter 4863 Good News on a Snowy Night
Bo Lunzan was puzzled: "Back then, my father tried his best to assist Zanpu in unifying the plateau countries, and he did his best to make great contributions. How can you say he didn't care about Zanpu?"
Everyone knows that the biggest contributor to Songtsen Gampo's ability to unify Tubo was Lu Dongtsen. But if Lu Dongtsen did not sincerely assist Songtsen Gampo, could it be that Lu Dongtsen still had the ambition to become Zampu? ?
Lun Qinling took a sip of wine, let out a comfortable breath, added a piece of wood to the brazier, shook his head and said: "It's just that time has passed, and the matter has come to this. My father's plan back then has failed, so there is no need to elaborate. ”
When anyone is one step away from that position, it is difficult not to feel coveted. This is true for father and son, let alone the difference between a monarch and a minister.
It's just that although his father coveted that position, Zamp was always wary of his father. In the end, his father failed to find a good opportunity and Zamp took the initiative to expel his father. That's all.
If my father blocks Zanpu's offensive and stays in Luosue City, the future is still unknown...
It's a pity that one bad move and one shortfall in success resulted in the tribe falling into the predicament it is in today.
Although Lun Qinling did not say it explicitly, Bolunzanren could also hear the hidden meaning in it. Only then did he realize that his father was not as "bold and loyal" as the outside world rumored, and that Songtsan Gampo's exile of his father was not a "killing". "Donkey", the struggle between Tubo Zanpu and Dalun has already been in full swing, either you die or I die.
He couldn't help but muttered: "Why have these things been kept hidden from me? If I had known this earlier, I would have rushed into the palace and killed Zanpu. Wouldn't my father also be able to sit on the position of Zanpu, and neither would our Gar tribe?" As for being exiled to Fuqi City to be criticized by the Tang people!”
On Qinling Speechless: "What matters to Zanpu's position is just killing one Songtsen Gampo? How to resist the counterattack of the Yalong tribe? How to appease the four major clans? How to make the other tribes willing to abandon Zanpu and follow Gar tribe? Don’t just pretend to be fighting and killing, but you also need to know more about the situation. Even if you don’t need to coordinate the overall situation, you can’t act recklessly.”
Tubo Zampu's greatest reliance lies not only in the strength of the Yalong tribe behind him, but also in the four major clans that have been married to him for generations. They have consistent interests and advance and retreat together. It is actually easy to kill Zampu, but if you want to Replacing Zamp after killing him would be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
So when the Gar tribe was still struggling with whether to "replace him" or support a puppet Zanpu to "hold the emperor to control the princes", Songtsen Gampo suddenly made a ruthless move and expelled the Gar tribe from the core of Tubo power. Lu Dongzan's many years of planning were ruined.
Bo Lunzan was silent. He had an active temper. He had been squatting at Zishan Pass for such a long time and would do so indefinitely. In addition, he was worried about the life of his eldest brother Zan Xiruo. He was very depressed and cruel. He took a swig of wine.
Lun Qinling felt very distressed and kept trying to stop him: "Hey, hey, why are you drinking so much? You won't have anything to drink after you finish it!"
Bo Lunzan took another sip without saying a word and raised his eyebrows provocatively.
On Qinling: "..."
I don't have the same understanding as this childish ghost.
"Bang bang bang!"
There was a rapid knock on the door, and Lun Qinling shouted in a deep voice: "Come in!"
You have to be louder, otherwise you won't be able to hear what's being said in the camp in the snowy and windy conditions outside...
The door was pushed open, and a soldier rushed in with a cloud of snow blowing in. The flames in the brazier were suppressed and fell, and sparks flew everywhere.
Bo Lunzan hurriedly extinguished the flying sparks to avoid causing a fire.
Lun Qinling sat firmly and asked: "Why are you so urgent in the middle of the night?"
The soldier took a breath, and then said: "Someone touched the hidden sentry on the mountainside, showed the general's token, and said that he wanted to meet you, the second general..."
"What?!"
Lun Qinling stood up suddenly and asked urgently: "Where is he?"
The soldier replied: "I dare not bring him into the camp, so I sent someone to guard him on the mountainside."
Qin Ling knew what he was afraid of. If the other party was an assassin or a dead soldier sent by Luoxue City, bringing him into the camp rashly would most likely lead to unpredictable consequences.
"Bring him immediately!"
"Yes!"
The soldiers then withdrew and closed the door to isolate the wind and snow.
Without the wind, the flame in the brazier stabilized, and the wood burned with a "pepping" sound...
Bo Lunzan's blade finally extinguished the sparks, and he was excited and a little nervous: "Brother, we finally have news!"
Although the news has come, it is not yet certain whether it is good or bad. What if it is bad news...
The two brothers sat nervously in the tent, drinking sip after sip, not in the mood to talk, as if they were waiting for a trial.
Did the eldest brother unite with various Tibetan ministries to launch an "anti-Zampu" alliance, or was he discovered by Zampu or betrayed and died?
After a long while, there were rapid footsteps outside the tent, and the impatient Bo Lunzan stood up, couldn't wait to open the door, and welcomed the person in.
"I have soldiers beside the general. I have sent a letter to the second general on the orders of the general!"
On Qinling did not read the letter first, but asked: "Where is the token?"
Without a token, there is no way to prove that the so-called letter was written by Zan Xiruo...
"Here!"
The soldier reached into his arms with his frostbitten hand and took out an amber. Before he could hand it to Lun Qinling, Bo Lunzan had already snatched it away. He leaned over the brazier and looked at it carefully.
This amber is one inch in size, golden and bright, with faint light flowing under the firelight, and a small insect inside is clearly visible...
"It's something that the eldest brother carries with him!"
There has been an agreement between the brothers for a long time. Not everything can be used as a "token". Zan Xiruo carries many things with him, but only this amber is the token of the agreement...
"Where is the letter?"
"Here!"
The soldier took out the letter from his arms again and handed it to Lun Qinling with both hands.
This time Bo Lunzan did not grab the knife, but stretched his neck to wait to read the contents of the letter...
Lun Qinling first carefully examined the paper on which the letters were written. Tubo did not produce paper, not even bamboo slips or wooden slips. The writing was either on sheepskin or on leaves, so the paper flowing into Tubo was extremely rare. You can tell whether it is by observing the paper. I praise those that Xiruo carries with him.
The paper was verified to be correct, and the sealing seal was checked again. After checking one by one, he glanced at the Boronzan Blade. He opened the envelope, took out the letter paper, and looked at the Boronzan Blade that came up to him.
The wind outside the tent howled by, making the tent tremble and tremble, as if it would fall apart at any moment and be carried away. The wind blowing in from the door disturbed the flames in the brazier, and it took a long time for Lun Qinling to put down the letter and let out a long breath.
According to what was written on the letter, Zan Xiruo bypassed the most dangerous mountains and swamps in Qiangtang, avoided countless tribes close to Zanpu, and finally arrived at the Six Tribes of Nacang. After being assassinated several times, he reached an alliance with the Six Tribes of Nacang. When the troops of Qinling came to Luoche City, the six tribes of Cangcang would immediately raise troops to besiege Luoche City from the east and south.
Bo Lun Zan Ren jumped up in excitement: "Brother is really powerful, he really convinced the six tribes of Na Cang! With their troops to cooperate, we advance from the north, and then Zan Pu can only rely on the Yalong tribe in the Yalong Valley, and the other tribes We must adopt a wait-and-see attitude. As long as we defeat Zampu’s army in an upright manner in Luoxe City, things will change in Tubo!”
For a long time, as the biggest contributor to Zampu's unification of the plateau, the Gar tribe was extremely dissatisfied with the repeated suppression and even exile for lying under Zampu's wings. Although they were intimidated by Zampu's prestige and did not dare to act rashly, even after being exiled, they obediently moved their tribe to Tuyuhun's hometown, the entire Kehe clan is naturally unwilling to do so.
The Han people have a saying, "Do princes, generals and ministers have the right to live in peace"?
Why has the Yalong tribe occupied the position of Zanpu for generations, while the other tribes can only enslave and sacrifice blood for it?
Lun Qinling walked outside and stood in the cold wind. He raised his head and stared at the dark sky. He turned back to the tent and shook off the snowflakes on his body. He took a sip of wine and said, "This snow will probably continue to fall." Two or three days will give us just enough time to prepare. How many rockets and thunders are left?"
Bo Lunzanren knew that his brother was decisive in killing and had decided to continue marching south to attack Luoche City. He was so excited that he geared up and said, "There are still about thirty rockets and about a hundred thunderbolts. The Tang army's firearms are really easy to use. As long as But it’s too expensive, we can’t afford it, that’s all we have. But brother, don’t worry, even if you don’t have firearms, you can give me an order to lead an army to raid the camp in Serugondun, and I will never return until the camp is broken.”
Lun Qinling rolled his eyes at him: "It's a good thing to be ambitious and confident, but if you go too far, it's arrogance and arrogance. Arrogant soldiers will be defeated! You think Seru Gongdun has blocked us for several months and there's nothing we can do." Are you an incompetent person? Don’t forget, when Zanpu unified the plateau, Seru Gongdun was the one who commanded every head-to-head battle. He fought dozens of battles, big and small, without losing a single one!”
"Yes, yes, my brother taught me that I am too excited, and I have no intention of being arrogant!"
Lun Qinling nodded, understanding his brother's mood. How could he not be so passionate that he wished he could gallop straight to Luoche City?
The Gar tribe is the greatest contributor to Zampu, and his father is the most meritorious person in Tubo. However, over the years, he has been subjected to suspicion and had to live with his tail between his legs. In the end, he was expelled from Luoxe City and became the leader between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty. How humiliating is it that the "cannon fodder" of this period is stationed in Fuqi City? Now that I finally have the opportunity, I will go for it even if I am willing to take risks!
"The order will be sent down early tomorrow morning, and the entire army will be ready for battle. Tomorrow midnight, when the wind and snow are at their peak, we will attack the camp in Serugondun from a high position. We will make careful battle plans and prepare for various emergencies. Be as comprehensive as possible, don't be stingy with firearms, and don't worry about casualties. Win the battle with a burning will, and never give Seru Gondon a chance to breathe!"
