The Xiangxiong Dynasty was a tribal country that dominated the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau before Tubo dominated the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Its geographical location is located at a major transportation route, connecting Central Asia, West Asia, South Asia and other regions, and is an important station on the ancient Silk Road.

At this time, Su Dawei stood in the plateau, looking at the majestic ancient city from afar, and let out a long sigh.

"Thinking of the vastness of the world, I am sad and crying."

"Hey, Ami, you've written poetry again."

"I just saw that the world is vast and I felt that people are so small, and I was just a little bit moved."

Su Dawei turned around and saw An Wensheng not far away.

An Wen had a fair and fair face and a tall figure. However, when she accompanied Su Dawei to the snowy plateau, she lost her spirit of the past. She wore a lot of clothes and looked a little bloated. The white face also showed a hint of "plateau red" due to sunlight.

"The environment here is even more uncomfortable than that of the Western Regions."

An Wensheng took a deep breath.

As a stranger, he followed Yuan Shoucheng to practice for many years, and Taoist alchemy first emphasizes the method of breathing and breathing.

Even so, I still feel a little breathing on this plateau.

"The environment here is special and the spiritual energy is thin. I don't know how the natives here adapt to it." An Wensheng looked around and murmured: "The terrain is high. If the Tang Dynasty wants to station troops here, it will be difficult."

Su Dawei felt aroused when he heard this and said to An Wensheng: "Tubo and the Tang Dynasty have a good marriage, how could he say such things?"

"Ha, Ami, I don't believe you can't see it. Tubo Zanpu is so ambitious, how could he be satisfied with a mere place? Just look at it. It won't take long to show his ambitions.

Our Tang Dynasty did not have the experience of living in this snowy field, and it would be very uncomfortable to attack. They had the advantage of terrain, and they used the advantage of terrain to submerge from the plateau, which was not easy to deal with."

"I won't talk about this anymore. Have you been here? Do you know where the Snow Mountain Temple is here?" Su Dawei asked him.

The reason why he left the Tang army and even risked being punished by military law was to find Nie Su.

On that day, Ye Yun told the secret about Nie Su, but it was related to this snowy plateau.

Su Dawei repeatedly verified that Yuyun was just a swearing swearing, and if the information was wrong, he would be willing to pay his life.

Although I don’t understand why Nie Su came here, I believe it for sure.

Of course, Su Dawei still gave him a knife.

This knife was for a breath of excitement in my heart.

If it weren't for this person, Ashina Helu would have dared to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, so many wars would have caused so many deaths later.

If it weren't for the luck that I had been happy in Chang'an, how could I have left the Tang Dynasty and ran to the border of the Western Regions? I would have stayed there for two years.

If it weren't for him, how could Nie Su disappear?

This person deserves to die for both public and private.

If he dies, he will only relieve a disaster for the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, he will be scheming and ambitious, and who knows what kind of demon girl will be created in the future?

According to Mr. Wang, Nie Su went to the Snow Mountain Temple.

Its location is at the junction of Tubo and the ancient Xiangxiong Kingdom.

Su Dawei's eyes were dark, and he didn't know whether the geography of this era was the same as in later generations, nor did he know where the so-called Snow Mountain Temple was, it shouldn't be Mount Everest, right?

If it is really the highest peak in the world, how can you climb up?

Fortunately, there is An Wensheng who is familiar with geography by his side. Otherwise, let alone looking for the Snow Mountain Temple, I am afraid that even how to get to Xiangxiong would be an extremely difficult task for Su Dawei.

“Ami.”

An Wensheng did not answer his question about the temple, but said solemnly: "Have you found a question?"

"What?"

"You are actually quite similar to your father, Su Sanlang."

"Tsk, evil thief, come and scare me again." Su Dawei wrapped his leather jacket and laughed at him, "You have never seen my Aye before, how can I know if I look like him?"

If Master Xuanzang said this, he believed it, and said it from An Wensheng, who was of the same generation as him, he believed it, and An Wensheng was a bad guy.

"Although I have never seen him, I have heard of his deeds."

An Wensheng's eyes were set forward.

He turned to the vast snow-rolling mountains over the other side, and his eyes showed a leisurely and fascinating look.

"Look, if I hadn't pulled you that day, you almost went over the mountains and leaped straight to Tianzhu, wouldn't this look very much like Su Sanlang?"

"roll!"

Su Dawei raised his middle finger at him angrily and amusedly, and then laughed out loud under An Wensheng's inexplicable expression.

"I am really unable to inherit my Aye's skills. I can't even recognize the road when I left my house. If I hadn't taken it, I could have crossed the mountains and embarked on the path of Master Xuanzang back then."

"Maybe you can learn Buddhism and get back as Master Sanzang." An Wensheng smiled and looked at Su Dawei's head, as if he saw his shaved hair and his head was bare.

"Don't change the topic."

Su Dawei laughed twice, straightened his chest, and put away his smile: "Do you know where the Snow Mountain Temple is?"

"You have asked me all the way. If I don't know, can you lead the way?"

An Wensheng shook his head, turned over the horse, and led the way in front.

He said without looking back: "Actually, I really don't know."

"you!"

"But I have a mouth, and the road is not under my feet, but under my mouth, I asked."

An Wensheng turned around and glared at Su Dawei who was riding a horse to follow him. His expression seemed to be saying: Can't you ask if you don't understand?

"What you said makes sense. I can remind you that if you can't find a place, I will never finish it with you."

"Bah, if it weren't for you, I was lying comfortably in the tent now. I wouldn't have come out at all and endured the coldness of the snow and ice."

An Wensheng sighed to the sky: "I am really obsessed with it for a moment. Is horse milk wine not good? Is roasted lamb not good? Is it not good to use milk and honey roasted hump smelly? Why do you suffer so much after you endure hunger?"

"Lao An, you will be more tired. When you find Nie Su, what do you want to eat when you return to Chang'an? I'll treat you."

Su Dawei's chest was slapped with a slight slap.

He now has considerable assets in Chang'an, and can be said to be an invisible local tyrant. It is no problem to treat An Wensheng to have big meals every day.

...

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Tubo was not the most powerful country in the Tibetan Plateau.

Xiangxiong, founded in Ali, and Supi around the Lhasa River Valley are both stronger than Tubo, located in the Yalong Valley in Shannan.

But time came to the early Tang Dynasty and the Taizong period.

Tubo New Zanpu Songtsen Gampo succeeded to the throne.

The entire Tubo Kingdom seemed to have been imposed with magic.

First, he intermarried with the Tang Dynasty and married Princess Wencheng, which won the recognition of the Tang Dynasty.

Then it merged with Supi, Xiangxiong and digging one million square kilometers.

At this time, Tubo had already landed in a territory of tens of millions and had a population of tens of millions, and he was the overlord of the western border of the Tang Dynasty.

...

In the 12th year of Zhenguan, Tubo Zamp Songtsen Gampo asked the Tang Dynasty for marrying a princess, so he led his army to invade Tuyuhun.

The idea is very clear. If you don’t agree to the marriage, I will beat your little brother!

In this era, the Tang Dynasty was the center of the world, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was the Khan of the Heavenly Khan.

As long as you marry the daughter of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, this is a kind of identity recognition.

At that time, Tubo, which was far from being a powerful country, urgently needed this kind of identity blessing in exchange for some kind of political capital.

As a result, Tubo beat the Tang Dynasty younger brother Tuyuhun so much that he vomited blood.

The Tang Dynasty urgently sent troops to rescue its own vassal state.

In Songzhou, the Tang Dynasty fought a great war with Tubo.

As expected, Tubo was defeated and fled back to the plateau.

However, after this battle, Tubo also showed his muscles to the Tang Dynasty and proved that he was not a small country with a soft egg type.

At least, it is much stronger than Tuyuhun.

After that, Tubo asked for marriage to the Tang Dynasty again, and after thinking about it for a while, Taizong finally agreed to marry.

As a result, Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, opening up the tranquility of the border between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty for decades.

When Wang Xuance went to the envoy to Tianzhu, the delegation was attacked and asked Tubo to borrow troops. Without saying a word, Tubo immediately lends troops to Wang Xuance and helps beat Zhongtianzhu.

Tubo and the Tang Dynasty have a marriage relationship. If you don’t give face to the Tang Dynasty, you won’t give face to us Tubo people.

On the one hand, Wang Xuance used his troops like a god.

But on the other hand, isn’t it the manifestation of these Tubo soldiers’ strong combat power?

Since ancient times, how can others sleep soundly when lying beside the bed?

There can only be one king on the same land.

If there is another one, it will inevitably lead to war and determine who is the most powerful king.

Unfortunately, at this time, the Tang Dynasty did not bet on its sight to the west. After fighting against the Turks in the north, the next target would be the east.

There are long-cherished wishes from the Sui Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, two dynasties—

There is Liaodong where Emperor Taizong was still thinking about it before his death.

Today's Emperor Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty was determined to prove that he was stronger than his father Li Shimin.

After rectifying the internal affairs of the imperial court, I could not wait to expand my territory and move far away from the Sui Dynasty.

"Ami, Xiangxiong City is ahead."

An Wensheng looked back at Su Dawei and pointed forward with a horse whip.

Su Dawei took back his mind and looked at the ancient city buildings with a strong elephant style.

An Wensheng also explained on the side: "Xiangxiong people worship Buddha. The local Buddhist sect is called Benshu. It is relatively ancient. According to the teachings of Shigamuni in India, this is the source. Moreover, the scenery here is rough and majestic, which is very different from the Central Plains. There are Gangdes Mountain and Mapanyongcuo Lake, which are all wonderful scenery."

"I understand the truth, but what's going on in this city?"

Su Dawei was a little surprised and pointed to the Xiangxiong Ancient City in front of him and asked in surprise.

At the end of his sight, the ancient city was full of holes, with the quaint walls everywhere, revealing an inconsistent thorn.

Moreover, there were dark blood stains on many rough rocks, fire, and scars that were obviously swords.

Obviously, this ancient city, which has experienced many years of ups and downs, has also experienced the severe test of war.

"Oh, this..."

An Wensheng's white face and cheeks twitched slightly, as if he had a little sore teeth: "When it comes to this, I have to talk about Tubo Zamp Songtsen Gampo, this person is definitely a hero of a generation.

When he ascended the throne, Tubo was not strong, and even weaker than Xiangxiong.

However, through careful development, through marriage, enlistment, spy, and various means, Songtsen Gampo forced the Tubo power to penetrate Xiangxiong.

Finally, the Tubo people took over Xiangxiong and occupied this place."
