Zhang Chao personally went to the water gate of Hanjing to pick up Qingluan and his party. .

"Ling'er has grown into a big girl." Zhang Chao looked at his daughter who seemed to be printed in the same mold as Qingluan, and couldn't help but sigh. The girl changed so much that she became more and more beautiful.

Zhang Chao has only seen this girl three times, and this is the third time. The last time I saw her was ten years ago.

At that time, the girl was only seven years old and she was pink and cute.

Now, she is already a graceful girl, the seventeen-year-old little queen of Subi. Seventeen years ago, when Zhang Chao met Qingluan in Taozhou, she was the same as Ling'er now.

Same beauty and generous.

If there is any difference between mother and daughter, it is that Qingluan was a little wilder and more enthusiastic and unrestrained at that time. Ling'er obviously inherited some of his Zhang Chao's genes and was a little more reserved. Perhaps it was the teachings of the female Han officials sent by Zhang Chao before, and Ling'er, who had learned Han culture since childhood, was more like a royal princess who was well-educated in the palace.

But it is much more graceful than the princesses.

After she got off the boat, she rode her horse directly.

The horse riding posture is very handsome.

Qingluan, who also rode a horse, has become more and more queen-like and more mature and beautiful. She smiled and said, "Ling'er is now my good helper. I'm slowly leaving her to take charge of Subi's internal affairs. She handles things in a very organized manner."

"It's all mothers who teach well," Ling'er said.

Qingluan said to Zhang Chao, "This time Ling'er came to Hanjing. First, she wanted to see you, a father, and second, she also wanted to consider her lifelong affairs. She wanted to choose a husband."

Ling'er is still very thoughtful. Zhang Chao had already learned about some of the situation in the letter sent by Qingluan. Perhaps he was influenced by the Han culture since he was a child, or perhaps he understood the strength of the Han power.

In recent years, Ling'er has gradually learned to manage politics, and even has her own staff team of the Little Queen's Mansion. Many of her Little Queen's Mansion are Han people. She also learns from her father Zhang Chao, and has implemented reforms in Subi and actively carried out Chineseization.

It can be said that it was still very successful.

Although Subi is an autonomous territory of Dahua, it is developing very quickly.

The southwest trade route operated directly connects to the west of Longyou, Hexi, Shannan, Shuzhong, Yunnan, and India.

However, her sinicization reform was still opposed by some Subi nobles. In fact, Subi has expanded rapidly in recent years and is already the strongest force on the plateau. Many Subi nobles inevitably expanded a little, wanting to get rid of the various interference and control of Dahua, and even wanting to take advantage of the change of dynasty in the Central Plains to become independent.

Fortunately, Qingluan fully supports Ling'er's reform, and the queen Qingluan is also very prestigious in Suvina.

This time Ling'er came to Zhongyuan. First, she came to meet Zhang Chao, hoping to get the support of her father and emperor. Second, she hoped to find a husband in Zhongyuan. Finally, she was a relatively powerful Zhongyuan family, bringing more talent and other support to her reform.

"Seventeen, it's time to find a husband."

Zhang Chao smiled, but Su Bi was a matriarchal society and women were in charge. Ling'er came to Zhongyuan to find her husband, so she could only be a son-in-law.

There are many upstarts and wealthy families in the Central Plains, but I am afraid that not many people are willing to become son-in-laws.

"After ten years, I feel that the changes have been great along the way. The more I go east, the more prosperous it is. The road is extremely smooth, especially the Qinling track of the Danba Road, which is really eye-opening. When I was in Subi, I felt that Yushu had changed a lot in recent years, but I didn't expect that the Central Plains could still have such a big change."

As Subi's capital, Yushu has indeed developed rapidly in recent years. It has become a core point in the southwest business district, with a population of more than 100,000.

On the plateau, this can indeed be considered a miracle.

But when we head east, a city of 100,000 people is everywhere. Once we step into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, it is so prosperous and peaceful.

Behind Ling'er is her younger brother Xuelang, a young man in his teenage years old. He looks like his uncle Black Panther, but Zhang Chao's shadow can still be seen in his eyebrows.

This guy is the first time he has come back to the Central Plains, and he has been dazzled all the way.

"The Chinese generals are the most powerful. Everyone rides tall horses, and they all have armor."

Zhang Chao said, "Then don't rush back this time and stay in Hanjing for a few years. You can go to the martial arts lecture hall to learn military affairs, or you can attend courses at the Beijing University. There are many children of honorary generals in the Beijing area, and you can make more friends of the same age. I will choose a group of young men of the same age to be your partner knights. How about it?"

Xuelang was very moved when he heard this.

Compared with Su Bi Yushu, this Han Jing is indeed extremely majestic.

The huge city wall alone is towering like their snow-capped mountains. The moat is simply a lake.

There are crowds everywhere, and there are so many people coming and going in and out of the capital on the road.

Even the women in the Central Plains are so gentle and beautiful.

Thinking of the Han woman, Xuelang's face, which was redder than the plateau, became even redder.

"Since you are moved, then let's make up and stay. We both have to get close to each other!"

Qingluan laughed and said, "If the snow wolf doesn't go back, Black Panther will be anxious to death. He is determined to train the snow wolf into a general of Subi State."

"Wolf Was trained well in Supi, and her body is strong enough. However, letting him stay in Hanjing for a few years will be of great help to his future. He will broaden his horizons, make more friends, and learn more military strategies. If you want to be a general, you must be knowledgeable and knowledgeable. The Hanjing martial arts lecture hall is the best military academy in the world today."

"If you want to keep him, do you still have to give him a title?" Qingluan asked with a smile.

Of course, it is no problem to be named. The council will recognize her son, even if she is an illegitimate son. After all, her mother's status is not low, and Queen Subi is still very worthy.

"Then what if you sign Langwa as Duke of Xichang?"

"You are just a Duke? Aren't the emperor's sons all named kings?" Qingluan joked.

Zhang Chao smiled, "If Langwa asked me to give him a name, of course I can be the king of him."

"Then you take the sage."

"How about calling Zhang?"

"It's pretty good."

Xuelang seemed to like this Chinese name very much. Zhang Chao said with a smile, "Since you like this name, then you will be called Zhang in the future. I will give you the King of Xichang."

Xichang is on the west of Jiannan Road, on the east of the Hengduan Mountains, and on the south of Yushu.

Located at the intersection of Tibet, Sichuan and Yunnan in later generations.

The imperial court is still far from reaching this area where Sichuan, Yunnan and Tibet meet. It is also the frontier of Sichuan and Yunnan where the imperial court is about to change its territory.

It is also an important channel from the Central Plains to the Piao Kingdom and the Indian countries of the Indochina Peninsula.

Zhang Qian, who grew up on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau since he was a child, relied on Su Bi and Dahua court behind him, and believed that he could better open up the situation there.

"You have to keep your word. My mother and son have heard you say you want to be the king of Wolfwa."

"I have a golden mouth and a royal saying, and I have nothing to say, so of course I keep my word."

The snow wolf grinned.

He was very excited to be named king at once. In Subi State, women are the main ones, and no matter how powerful men are, they are not in charge of their families. In tribes, although men lead troops to fight, at most they can become generals, and it is impossible to be kings.

Qingluan smiled.

Xichang is actually Subi's territory now. Zhang Chao has granted Xichang to his son as his fiefdom, which is a pity that Subi is so generous, but Qingluan doesn't care about this.

Subi himself is now also the autonomous territory of Dahua.

"You mothers and a few of you came all at once. Su Bi is fine?" Zhang Chao walked with them and was in a good mood.

"I have my mother and my brother Black Panther at home, so there will be no problem." Qingluan's mother and three came to the Central Plains together this time, and she was very relieved about her family. Her mother was originally the king of the East Girl Kingdom, but the East Girl Kingdom and the Eight Kingdoms of the West Mountain, Bailang Qiang, Duomian and other small countries, all merged into Supi.

Black Panther is also Subi's general.

Every few years, Qingluan would come to Zhongyuan, and the family always arranged this way, and it was never a problem.

"Where are the Tubo people? Have you settled recently?"

Tubo has been specially targeted by Zhang Chao in recent years. He had risen strongly on the plateau, but was targeted by Zhang Chao in various ways, and incited the struggle between the old and new Tubo nobles, and incited Su Bi's independence, poisoned Lao Zanpu, causing Tubo to fall into a civil war.

These years are Wang Xiaoer's New Year, and every year is getting worse.

Tuyuhun died, but Supi rose in Qinghai-Tibet.

After Subi's rise, he continued to use troops to Tubo.

"As you expected, the Tubo people had a strife for a while after Lao Zanpu's death. However, Lao Zanpu's son, the twelve-year-old Qi Zongnong, was supported by his uncle Lunkoer and Prime Minister Shangnang, and other close ministers, landed on the throne of Zanpu."

That happened ten years ago.

Ten years ago, Qi Zongnong was twelve years old, and ten years later, the twenty-two-year-old Qi Zongnong was respected as Songtsen Cadre.

From the beginning of his succession, Tubo was attacked by Supi and Yangtong from both sides, and they were forced to defend the area of ​​Qiongjie, the capital of Tubo.

At that time, Qingluan and Tubo would soon perish.

As a result, Songtsen's cadres actually stood firm. He sent people to marry Nibharu in the south, married Princess Nibharu, and used Nibharu's troops to eliminate some of the rebellious old nobles in Tubo, and eliminated many opposition forces within the palace, and the situation stabilized.

After the situation stabilized, Songzan cadres moved the capital to Luoshui, and he also received support from people from Luoshui, Pengyu and other regions, and the northern region was consolidated.

This young Zanpu recruited and trained soldiers. After three years, Tubo trained an elite force. After three years, he quickly regained a large number of Tubo's land occupied by rebels.

Compared with the small and narrow Yalong Valley of the old capital, the Jiqu Valley is more extensive. It is located in the upper reaches of the Jiqu Valley, the center of the Pengyu, and was once the base of Supi, and the center of the Tibetan area.

There are Nianqing Tanggula Mountain in the north of Lusue as a barrier, and the east is connected to Niangbo, Gongbu and other places, and the west is adjacent to Yangtong and Yiyalong Valley in the south, and the location is moderate.

After moving the capital, it is more conducive to defending Supi in the north and Yangtong in the west.

Although Qingluan has unified the northern and eastern regions of Tibet in the past ten years, its attack on Tubo has become somewhat weak in recent years.

"Tubo recently joined forces with the Niblar Army to destroy Xiangxiong, and is ambitiously planning to fight against Yangtong in the west. We are a little underestimating the Tubo people, especially the Songzan cadre, who has indeed done a lot of things at such a young age."

The plateau is vast and sparsely populated, so defense is indeed easier than attacking, especially Tubo has also pulled Nibharati, a powerful ally. Although Nibharati is not big, its troops are strong.

"I went to Beijing this time just to ask about your plan. I can't let the little boy from Tubo continue like this. I want him to annex Yangtong again. The next target is not me, Supi, but also the Qinghai Road of the imperial court."
