Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Therefore, in Tubo, Songtsan Gampo's status is like that of His Majesty Tian Khan Li Er in Tang Dynasty, and no one can replace it.

Under Zanpu, there are the Great Minister (in charge of military and foreign affairs), the Internal Minister (in charge of government affairs), the quasi-shi great minister (in charge of legal affairs) and Master Benbo (in charge of sacrifices).

And the relative and backer of the Samba headman that Zhao Jiuchou said, Wu Lu De Nai, is the Prime Minister of Tubo.

This Prime Minister sounds a bit nondescript, there is no way, who made the Tubo Kingdom just rise up now, and learn a little bit of nonsense in everything.

To put it bluntly, this prime minister is the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of Defense of our future generations. He is an official with both military and political powers and has very great power.

The status of Tubo Prime Minister is second only to Zanpu in Tubo.

To say that Wu Lu De Nai is great is not to say how awesome this person is, but because the Wu Lu family has always been the first family in Tubo other than the royal family.

Starting from Songtsan Gampo's grandfather Buniesai and father Nangri Lunzan, the Meilu family has always been the most staunch supporters.

If it is said that the transition from the tribal alliance to the current slavery regime in the Tubo Kingdom is entirely due to the three generations of Buniesai, Nangri Lunzan, and Songtsen Gampo, then the consistent and firm support of the Meilu family for nearly a hundred years is absolutely It is indispensable.

Therefore, the Mulu family also has the reputation of the second royal family in Tubo.

Mu Lu De Nai, the Prime Minister of Tubo, is the head of this generation of the Mu Lu family, and he seems to have a teacher-student friendship with Zamp Songtsen Gampo.

Regardless of whether he is in the court or in the opposition, this person's ability in the Tubo Kingdom is indeed powerful, like the sun and the sky.

After Guo Ye calmed down and analyzed it carefully, he murmured to himself: "It's no wonder that the descendants of the Yang family in Tuva want to do business with the head of Tubo. It is tantamount to having the support of the entire Tubo kingdom. Hehe, the ambition of this descendant of the downcast royal family of the Sui Dynasty is not small!"

Zhao Jiuchou suddenly raised his horsewhip, pointed to the front and said, "It's getting late, are you sure you want to go or not? You have to know that once you step into the border of Tubo, life and death are boundless."

Guo Ye was still resolute, and also raised his whip high and shouted: "Go, you must go, how can you catch a tiger if you don't enter the tiger's den? Moreover, only by going to the head of the Samba in Tubo can he be separated from the city of Tuva." The Yang family will break up and will not send troops to attack us."

Zhao Jiuchou was very curious about why Guo Ye was so sure that the Tubo leader would turn against him. He looked at him suspiciously, but didn't speak.

Since he didn't speak, it doesn't mean that Guo Ye doesn't understand what he means.

Guo Ye pointed at his mouth with a horsewhip, and said with a smile: "This is the reason, don't forget, I am not only good at hand, hehe, I also have a good tongue and I am not inferior to those so-called romantic celebrities."

Zhao Jiuchou thought to himself, it turned out that it was Guo Ye's best routine of combining vertical and horizontal, nonsense and flickering.

In this way, he almost understood Guo Ye's real thoughts.

But he finally asked: "Samba has business dealings with the Yang family in Tuva City, and should have already established an offensive and defensive alliance. How can you rely on your three-inch tongue to let him sit on the sidelines and even turn against Yang?"

Guo Ye didn't say much this time, he just looked ahead and said a word simply:

"profit!"

After saying that, the whip that was raised high was suddenly pulled towards the horse's buttocks, with a crisp snap, and the horse neighed in pain.

"It's getting late, let's go, drive!!!"

The horse raised its hooves, jumped high, and flew away like a lonely smoke in the desert.

Seeing this, Zhao Jiuchou naturally followed closely, and said silently in his heart, if you are going to die, I will die with you.

After thinking about it, he raised his whip and shouted:

"Drive, drive!!!"

Chapter 232 Entering the Tubo Kingdom

"Driving~~"

Guo Ye and Zhao Jiuchou rode their horses across the pass and entered the territory of Tubo.

I don't know how long I have been running on the territory of the Samba headman.

From the uninhabited at the beginning, to the faintly visible cattle and sheep, to the sparsely populated but still sporadic encounters with Tubo shepherds.

After running for dozens of miles, Guo Ye suddenly pulled the rein and stopped.

Although Zhao Jiuchou was puzzled, he stopped the horse and stopped beside Guo Ye.

Suspiciously asked: "Why did you stop for no reason? Didn't the shepherd just say that there are still twenty miles away from Samba's camp?"

Guo Ye pointed to his white robe and white armor, then pointed to Zhao Jiuchou's kapok armor, and said with a wry smile: "Now we are getting closer and closer to the Samba camp, and the Tubo people will definitely become more and more popular along the way." Duo, do you think we can sneak into Samba's territory wearing this suit?"

Zhao Jiuchou suddenly realized, how could he forget this?

They wore the armor of the Tang army, and walked carelessly through the land of the Tubo people. Isn't this nothing to do?

Fortunately, the shepherds on the road just now were just slaves of the Samba family, so they didn't pay special attention to this.

But if you want to sneak into the camp where Samba lives on a daily basis, and wear this armor in a grand manner, it's a bit forced.

Zhao Jiuchou said in embarrassment, "We didn't bring Tubo clothes when we came out, what should we do?"

Guo Ye smacked his lips, and said in a deep voice: "The horse and the armor can be hidden on the spot. But the clothes of the Tubo people, as well as the cattle and sheep that we pretended to be shepherds and sneaked into the camp, I want you to borrow them." gone."

"Uh?"

Zhao Jiuchou looked at Guo Ye suspiciously, and almost blurted out that I don't know the place here, where can I borrow clothes, cattle and sheep for you?

Unexpectedly, before the words were spoken, Guo Ye raised his right hand and pointed to the front not far away.

Following his pointing, Zhao Jiuchou saw two Tubo shepherds who happened to be wearing the unique Tubo people's long gowns with slanted front and narrow sleeves, driving a dozen lambs towards this side.

Looking at the fineness of the narrow-sleeved gown, it was made of coarse hemp, and it should be the slave of the Samba family responsible for herding sheep.

Zhao Jiuchou immediately understood Guo Ye's meaning, and slowly pulled out the gold-threaded big ring knife on his shoulder, and snorted: "It seems that Zhao did it for you again, didn't he?"

After finishing speaking, he stepped on the stirrups, clamped the saddle with his legs hard, and the man followed the horse, brandishing a big knife, and galloped away.

Guo Ye slightly turned his head away, couldn't bear to watch the bloody scene, and praised Zhao Jiuchou in his heart, I know people with eyes, Lao Zhao is becoming more and more like a good knife.

……

……

After half a cup of tea, there were two more Tibetan slaves on the road who were shepherding sheep and returning slowly to the camp. However, looking at the posture of driving the sheep, they were a bit clumsy and completely novice.

At this time, there are still seventeen or eight miles away from the campsite of Samba's family.

At the same time, Uncle Bao, the messenger sent by Yang Tai in Tuva City, had already arrived at the campsite where the headman of Samba was staying one step ahead of Guo Ye and others.

This campsite was set up near a water source, and as a base, the land within a radius of [-] li was the private territory of the Samba leader.

Whether it grows in the land or crawls on the ground, it belongs to Samba alone, including the 1 slaves on this land.

The place where the Sang family lives is in the center of the camp near the water source, a house built with logs.
