The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

But if they could get something on the battlefield, they would definitely bring it back to Chang'an, and after selling it, they could exchange it for food or money.

As for how much, it depends on whether those things are worth money or not.

"Okay, Ah Er, go home quickly and prepare more ropes. I will pull the car at my house together." The uncle of Ah Er said happily when he saw that Ah Er had also signed up.

"Okay, brother, do you have a lot of rope in your house? If not, bring some to my house." Ah Er replied.

"I still have a lot at home, which should be enough. Let's go home first." The uncle responded.

Such scenes were staged one after another in some Lifangs in the south of Chang'an City.

Most of the Lifangs in the south of Chang’an City belong to the Lifang where the poor live scatteredly, and most of the officials or nobles live in the north of Chang’an City.

Of course, there are also some Lifangs that live in the south of Chang'an City, such as the County Marquis Mansion where Zhong Wen lived, which is in Yongping Square near the south of Chang'an City.

There are one hundred and eight lifangs in Chang'an City.

Miyagi and Huangcheng Minzhong are bounded by Zhuque Street, and are managed by Chang'an County and Wannian County.

Most of the most expensive lifangs are located in the east side of Chang'an City, and the most expensive lifangs are those on the east side of the imperial city and the palace city.

Most of the Lifang are relatives of the emperor, and there are even children of Li Shimin today. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an unspeakably expensive Lifang.

Chapter 4: Tubo Guru Arrives in Tang Dynasty

In the early morning of the next day, tens of thousands of people had already gathered in the west of Chang'an City.

Of course, in addition to the recruited civilian husbands, there are also family members who are seeing off.

The man in his own family is going to go to war, and the family will definitely send him off.

Although it is not easy to see them off when they go to war, these common people don't care about it. After all, their men will be away for a long time, and it is hard to say whether they will see each other again in the future.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, although the loss rate of soldiers was high, the loss rate of civilian husbands was very low, probably one-tenth.

But as long as there is a discount rate, there must be death.

And the family members of these civilian husbands had no choice but to choose this way to see their men off.

Some cried and some were happy.

Some were talking loudly, and some were exhorting.

Following the words of a general, [-] peasants recruited in Chang'an set out, but the families of these peasants sent them far away, and they did not return to Chang'an City until noon.

The folks need to go to the Chencang area to deliver some grain and grass, and then go to Songzhou.

The civilian husbands recruited in Chang'an voluntarily signed up to go to Songzhou because of life.

However, the folk husbands of other state capitals in Tang State are not like this.

The civilian husbands recruited by other state capitals are basically arranged.

But at this moment, Songzhou is still confronting each other as if facing an enemy.

The Tubo Kingdom didn't know what they were doing, which made Yuchi Jingde, who was in Songzhou, really confused.

Various scouts scattered to the border to inquire about news.

This confrontation has lasted for ten days.

For ten days, both the enemy and us fought scouting warfare.

And during these ten days, both the enemy and the enemy have lost each other.

Judging from the harassment methods of Tubo soldiers and horses in the past, this is no longer an ordinary harassment method, but a national war.

And with the confrontation between Tubo and Tang soldiers, the tension became more and more tense.

Yuchi Jingde was also waiting for reinforcements to arrive, but there was still no movement from Tubo Kingdom, as if he came to watch the excitement.

"General Shangpu (General Commander), when do we have to wait to start? We have been waiting for ten days, and the chieftains of all ministries are starting to get a little anxious. If we don't attack, the Tang army will definitely have reinforcements." At that time, in the largest camp of the Tubo Kingdom, a man was complaining to the Tubo commander.

"What's the hurry? This time, according to the instructions of Luoxiecheng, our various tribes in Tubo are not here to fight, but to demonstrate. Moreover, there is no news from the master. It is really time to start the war. The division will definitely send someone to come, what are you in a hurry for?" The general Shangpu looked at the man and said without any haste.

This time, they were only instructed to come to the border of the Tang State to sit for a period of time, in order to intimidate the Tang State, rather than to actually start a war.

Of course, this is just an instruction from Zanpu in Luoxi City. As for the master he said, there is no instruction yet.

Whether urgent or not, they have to wait.

Although it is said that Zanpu is the one who speaks now in the Tubo Kingdom, it is still dominated by the chieftains and clans.

As long as the chieftains of these clans objected, that Zanpu would not be able to give any orders.

After all, the Tubo Kingdom is a country of slavery, where the clan is the largest, and the chieftain is second. As for the royal family, they can only stand aside.

And on top of that, there are people from the line of masters.

It's just that people in the line of masters basically don't interfere in ordinary affairs, which is somewhat similar to the sects of the Tang Dynasty.

It is said that at this time, in a monastery in Tubo Kingdom.

An old man with white beard and hair, sitting in the first place, closed his eyes and meditated, just like a Buddha.

Underneath, a monk in red was kneeling below, waiting for the old man's response.

After a long time, the old man opened his eyes slightly, looked at the kneeling monk and said, "Go tell Walu, let him go to Songzhou, and ask Tang Guo, what is the meaning? Why did you kill me?" People from the Tubo mission."

"Yes, I'm going right now, little monk." The monk finally got the old man's response, bowed respectfully, and retreated.

This old man is the guru that General Shangpu mentioned.

However, this guru is just an ordinary guru.

There is more than one kind of guru, but there is an extremely strict hierarchy.

Guru is just a general title.

In fact, the guru is similar to the congenital realm above the rivers and lakes of the Tang Dynasty, but his status is transcendent, similar to the living Buddha passed down in the previous life.

There are five grades of guru, one is just like this old man, general teacher, and then there are Lun teacher, Xian teacher, Xin teacher, and the highest level of Mi teacher.

If we really want to subdivide it, general masters are probably masters between the first and third levels of Xiantian, Lun masters belong to the sixth level of Xiantian, Lun masters belong to the ninth level of Xiantian, and master Xin belong to the twelfth level of Xiantian.

As for the Mishi, it is naturally above the innate.

The guru has absolute right to speak in the Tubo Kingdom, even the clans and chieftains in various places can only follow his orders, let alone the royal family.

However, not all innate masters are qualified to become masters.

Guru is a kind of inheritance, and likewise, it is also a kind of etiquette.

The master does not belong to the royal family, does not belong to the chieftain, and also does not belong to the clan. He only respects the Bon religion all his life, and everything is based on the Bon religion.

That old man, although he is a general teacher, lives in Domi, far away from his hometown of Bon religion, but it is surprisingly far away.

However, he is still stationed in this place of Domi instead of going to the Holy Land of Bon.

The hierarchy is strict, and in the Bon religion, it can be said to be used to the extreme.

Even if he is a master, he must not leave Domi without any call from above, otherwise, he will be expelled from the Bon religion.

The old man's name is Tsolawu, and he is in charge of the monasteries in the Domi Land, and also belongs to the highest master of the Domi Land.

And just now, the Walu he was talking about was also a guru, living in a monastery hundreds of miles away from the monastery he was in.

After the monk left, two days later, the monk arrived at the monastery where Walu lived.

"Master Walu, Master Prawu, please go to Songzhou and ask why the Tang Kingdom wanted to kill our Tubo mission." As soon as the monk arrived, he directly explained his purpose.

"Okay, I see." Seeing the report from the visitor, Walu already knew what he was going to do, and nodded in response.

Then the monk was taken down to eat and rest.

But this master Walu got up, explained a few words to the other monks in the monastery, and then left directly, heading for the border between the Tubo Kingdom and the Tang Kingdom.

At this time, Songzhou was still nervous.

Although the Tu and Tang Dynasties had scouts who died on each other, they still couldn't resist the temptation of both sides.

And just yesterday, soldiers from other state capitals rushing to aid Songzhou had already arrived in Songzhou.

Although there were not many people, only 3 or [-] horses, as long as there were soldiers rushing to help, it would be like a shot in the arm for the soldiers and common people in Songzhou.

Confrontation is the most stressful thing, if you don't pay attention, a big battle will break out.

"There are not many soldiers rushing to help, you have to arrange them well. In addition, 2000 people will go to Ningyuan Town, and some civilian husbands will also be dispatched there." At this moment, Yuchi Jingde was giving some orders to some generals.

"Also, when will the soldiers and horses from Chang'an arrive? Where are they now?" Yuchi Jingde had just finished explaining the matter of the soldiers and horses rushing to help, and then turned to the matter of the soldiers and horses from Chang'an.

"Back to the general, we have already arrived in Minzhou. It is estimated that we will reach Songzhou in three days." A general responded.

Originally, no one thought that so many soldiers and horses would suddenly come from Tubo. If there was a sudden attack, Songzhou might no longer exist at this time.

But fortunately, the Tubo soldiers and horses seemed to be waiting for something, they only stationed and did not attack. All these phenomena made it impossible for Yuchi Jingde and the soldiers to figure out the reason.

……

The second day and night.

In Songzhou City, a Tubo man suddenly appeared.

The soldiers who were patrolling at night were shocked and beat the big drum. At the same time, they also summoned many soldiers to surround the Tubo man.

"Who is here? Why did you break into my city of Tang Guozhou?" At this time, a general galloped over, seeing that it was a Tubo man, he asked loudly.

The person who came was the Tubo master Walu.

It took him more than a day before he arrived at Songzhou in the territory of Tang State. Once he arrived in Songzhou, he jumped into Songzhou city.

There is no messenger's gift, no self-reporting of family name, nothing at all.

He only obeyed the orders of his superiors and came to Songzhou to inquire about their Tubo mission.

As for other things, he will not ask, nor will he ask too much.

Of course, if Tang's soldiers really attacked him, then he would not be able to sit still and would definitely fight back.

However, the soldiers who were able to jump into the city of Songzhou were not all fools. Naturally, they also knew that these characters were not something they could deal with.

"Take me to see your coach." Walu said coldly when he saw a general coming.

Walu didn't want to talk too much, he thought that as long as he met the coach of Songzhou City and asked some questions, he could go back and report.

As for these soldiers, he didn't pay attention to them, and likewise, he didn't take them seriously.

And the general, after hearing the reply from the Tubo man in front of him, was also hesitating in his heart whether to take him to see the general.

A Tubo master suddenly came to Songzhou, so he had to deal with it.

But if he really took this Tubo man to meet the general, if this Tubo master suddenly encountered difficulties, then the result would not be something he could bear.

But at this moment, several fast horses came running not far away, and the leader was Yuchi Jingde, the coach who presided over the battle in Songzhou.

"Who dares to break into my Songzhou?" Yuchi Jingde's voice came before he arrived.

Chapter 4 Seventeen

After Walu turned his head to look at the person who came, he already guessed in his heart that the person who came was the coach of Songzhou.

However, Walu didn't look straight at Yuchi Jingde.

In his eyes, these are just ordinary people, besides, Tang people, in his eyes, are either dead or ordinary people.

Even if the opponent is the coach of Songzhou, in Walu's eyes, the same is true.

"I came here and just wanted to ask one thing, why was my envoy from the Tubo Kingdom killed in Chang'an City?" Although Wa Lu didn't take Yuchi Jingde seriously, he still asked him what he said.

After all, Walu is just an executor, not a decision maker. He only needs to get things done well, and he won't pay too much attention to other things.

"General, this person jumped in from outside Songzhou City. He seems to be a master. Be careful, General." Seeing Yuchi Jingde coming, the general who was watching the night ran over quickly, and reported to Yuchi Jingde. At the same time, he also signaled Follow the nearby soldiers to deal with it carefully.

In fact, when such an expert suddenly approached Songzhou City, anyone would feel as if they were facing an enemy. If the other party wanted to kill him together, few of them would survive.

After Yuchi Jingde learned of the situation, he also became nervous.

He is not afraid of fighting, it is this kind of master that he is afraid of.

Just like at the end of the year before last, Zhong Wen slashed him with a sword, which is still vivid in my memory.

Moreover, Yuchi Jingde was also involved in the incident in Miyagi at that time, and that scene is still lingering in his mind until now.

Facing such a master, even if he is a coach, even if he is a prince, as long as the opponent strikes with a sword, he will still die.
