Chapter 596 Northwest Wolf Smoke (1)(1/2)
Xige City is a typical Tubo city.
Most of the buildings in the city are rammed earth wall foundations, and the roofs are generally flat-topped structures.
The daughter's wall is made of jinghua, so the appearance is usually red or ochre red.
Because those who can live in the city are basically nobles.
So these buildings are very large in scale.
Moreover, there is usually a Buddhist temple offering Buddha statues.
These Buddhist temples have obvious characteristics during the Tubo Empire.
That is, they will enshrine Buddha statues and niches in a cave-like space.
Some will enshrine Buddha statues and niches on the walls.
At this moment, in the center of Xige City, the most magnificent building.
Xibawen, the owner of Xige City, was reciting scriptures in the Buddhist temple.
"Master..." A stout man came to the temple and bowed to him: "Zanni is here."
Xibawen folded his hands together and bowed devoutly to the Buddha statue he worshiped.
Then he turned around and ordered the visitor: "Let Zani come to see me."
"promise."
Not long after, a middle-aged nobleman wearing a sheepskin coat with a large triangle round neck came to Xibawen.
He bowed respectfully: "Mubozani, pay homage to His Highness, the great son of Buddha."
Since the last bloodline of Dasila and Dong Wen's legal heir Lin Bie was assassinated by Aligus.
Zamp in Qingtang City no longer has Zamp's bloodline.
In this way, Xibawen became the only person among the Qing Tang tribes who still have Zamp’s bloodline. Naturally, he could naturally inherit the title of Buddha’s son.
At least, Xibawen thinks he has the qualification.
The monks in Xige City also felt that he had this qualification.
"Zani is here." Xiba Wen's eleventh reverie: "Get up and talk."
"Yes." Mubozani stood up and looked at his master.
He supports and supports Xibawen.
Because this Buddhist son not only opened up the road to the Xihe pilgrimage.
It also opened up the road to trade with the Han area.
It also brings countless preferential treatments to everyone.
The most important thing is that he really doesn't care about anything!
In the past, it was handed over to his uncle Langezhan. After Langezhan was killed, he simply entrusted all of them to the leaders to manage.
Even in Xi Ge City, he appointed Mu Bo and other leaders of the four tribes to negotiate.
Only Brother Xi was directly controlled by him.
Generally speaking, as long as you don’t disturb him chanting, everything is easy to discuss.
This is the master everyone likes.
"What happened?" asked Xibawen.
"Master, several caravans sent to the plateau from each unit did not come back on time." Mubozani reported.
Xibawen frowned and asked with a serious expression: "Have you sent someone to find it?"
Since the founding of the Kingdom of Liluo, the Qingtang Tubo has been a regime that attaches great importance to commerce and protects merchants.
In order to ensure the safety of the trade route, when Xiao Sila was in power, he often led troops to patrol the road.
In order to ensure that the Han area agrees and accepts Tubo, and engages in trade with the Qingtang Tubo.
Yu Sila sent people to Bianjing again and again to show his loyalty.
He even expressed his willingness to lead his troops to attack Dangxiang for this purpose.
But it was useless. It was not until he really led his people to defeat Li Yuanhao in Zonggehe that he finally submitted a letter of fame and was named the governor of the Baoshun Army by the Han uncle, and was appointed as the King of Wuwei County, and officially opened up the Silk Road again.
In the decades since then, despite the experience of Xining Kaibing.
But Qingtang City has always maintained friendship with the Han area and has not completely broken up - of course, this is also related to Dong Jiong's mentality: Xining expands the border, although it is an expansion of the Han area, for Dong Jiong, it is all enemies that pose great threat to him.
For example, the person who is now named Zhao Sizhong, whose original name is Mu Zheng, is Dong Jin's nephew. His father is the eldest son of Xiao Jin!
Now named Zhao Chunzhong, whose original name is Ba Zhenjiao, is also the son of Biao Zhen.
Zhao Shaozhong, who has passed away, is his original name Wu Chi, and is still his son.
And the fathers of these people were foolish. When Yeo was still there, they had already joined troops to sing a stage play with Yeo!
After Dong Wen ascended the throne, he became even more excessive, not to turn away from Qing Tang, and even raise troops to fight!
If it weren't for the fact that the other son of Xiaosi Luo had already lost his inheritance.
Qing Tang back then was even more lively.
Therefore, the Song army was able to expand borders so smoothly, and this background was also found in Xining.
In addition, there are reasons for ensuring smooth trade routes at all costs.
Xibawenzi also knows this.
So, when he heard that there was something wrong with the caravan, he became nervous.
Xige City is inseparable from business.
Without commercial Xige City, it would be a dead city!
"Multiple teams of cavalry have been sent to look for it, but the cavalry sent has not come back to report it." Mubozani reported with a chest touching report.
Xibawen suddenly became nervous: "Where were they missing?"
"Near Longyang Gorge!" Mubozani replied.
Xibawen's expression suddenly became extremely serious.
Longyang Gorge?
Did Qingyi Ghost Chain come down from the plateau?
Qingyi's Ghost Chain's power was once extremely huge.
The territory it owns is directly from Xige City to the snow-capped mountains on the plateau.
Not only that, he also has many pastures in Taozhou, Minzhou and other places.
This is a permission from the Han uncle - Qingyi Ghost Sword. He was once named the governor of Guzhou by the previous generation of Han uncle and allowed him to grazing in Taozhou, Minzhou, Guzhou and other places.
This matter was changed only last year.
Qingyi formed a ghost seal and attacked Langezhan, forcing him to escape.
After escaping, Xibawen fled into the mountains.
Then he sent people to the Han area for help. Zhong Yi, the governor of Hezhou, the uncle of the Han family, and went to Gao to order the two national generals to support him. He set up an ambush in Longyang Gorge, defeated Qingyi Jieguizhan, and expelled his forces from Xige City and Guzhou.
Then, after October last year, Yu Longke (Bao Shun) of Xizhou and Mu Zheng (Zhao Sizhong) of Qinzhou began to send people to Taozhou and Minzhou to recruit surrendered tribes.
Against the backdrop of the severe drought, tribes of all sizes, who had been hungry for a long time, all surrendered.
The Qingyi Jieguizhang forces in Taozhou and Minzhou were severely damaged and had to withdraw from the local area - there was no way! Yu Longke and Mu Zheng surrendered the local Tubo and Qiang tribes, soybeans and wheat directly asked the monks to take barley, soybeans and wheat.
Come on, there is something to eat!
There are also sutras and chants, so you can go to Mabang Mountain to make a pilgrimage! You can even get the qualification to worship Buddha's tooth relics!
The various troops who had long been hungry have never seen such a formation and have turned against each other.
During this process, Qing Yi Jie Guizhang sent envoys to Xizhou and Qingtang many times, and even sent people to Bianjing to file a lawsuit against the emperor.
But it's useless.
When I went to Xizhou, the envoy from Bianjing had no return. Don’t ask, I just accidentally fell off my horse and fell to death!
The letter he wrote was thrown aside, and he didn't even look at it.
Not to mention, I sent it to the Jinzouyuan in Bianjing.
Therefore, Xibawen had already had Qingyi's ghost sign, and he would go down the mountain to attack Xige City and was mentally prepared - if he stayed on the mountain again, he would starve to death sooner or later!
Why not go to Taozhou or Minzhou?
Because Mu Zheng and Yu Longke are there!
Especially Mu Zheng!
This is the real bloodline of the sage!
