Crown Tang emperor

But before it got dark, I rushed to a naturally formed karst cave. The inside of the karst cave was damp and the outside was dry. Even on the high stone platform, there were still some clothes and fresh food, which was enough for a hundred years. The rest have more than enough to eat.

It can be seen that the vassal monarch was also careful and careful in arranging this retreat, and he also kept top secrets, because even the commander who led Guo Yuanzhen and others to hunt down the monarch before came here with a look of surprise.

When taking out the food and eating on the floor, the vassal king looked at his guard commander and sneered, "You betrayed the king, killed my son, sold my life to survive for yourself, and now you are protected by the strong men of Tang, I will kill you. But from now on, as long as you and your blood relatives stay in Tibet, I will kill you!"

"Be quiet!"

Guo Yuanzhen shouted angrily while slapping the approaching mosquitoes.

The vassal monarch still had a ruthless face just now, but when he heard Guo Yuanzhen's scolding, he immediately put on a flattering smile, and said not lacking in hospitality: "Traveling in the mountains and forests will cause various inconveniences, please be patient. Wait until the time comes. The manor where I hid, food and accommodation have been greatly improved."

For such a living treasure, Guo Yuanzhen really had nothing to say.As for his wife and daughter, he would kill as soon as he said he wanted to. He was extremely vicious towards his subordinates, but he was extremely courteous towards his enemies.It's no wonder that after Tubo annexed the Tibetan area, despite the constant rebellion in the area, it still left this puppet behind.

After the meal, night fell, and the group did not dare to light a fire in the mountains and forests. Even the horses were arranged in a cave several miles away from the cave here.

A group of people folded their clothes and lay down on the spot. In order to prevent the earth king from escaping or causing trouble, Guo Yuanzhen tied them tightly with himself.Of course, the sharp weapons on Earth King's body, including gold and silver ornaments, were all looted.If it weren't for the unappetizing fat body, Guo Yuanzhen even wanted to take off his clothes to attract those annoying mosquitoes for himself.

Suffering drastic changes, Tu Wang naturally couldn't sleep at night, so he chatted with Guo Yuanzhen in a low voice: "May I ask why the strong man attacked our country? Could it be that you are an official envoy sent by the Tang Dynasty? You came to attack because our country stopped worshiping and surrendered to Tubo? Alas, so did our country. It’s a difficult situation. I originally guarded this mountain and lived a stable life. I felt honored to be a Chinese vassal in the early years. But after that, the news was cut off. Although there were constant contacts with Tang people, they were only merchants. I didn’t see Tang officials to ask questions, and they were persecuted by Tubo..."

Not to mention the nagging of the earth king, Guo Yuanzhen fell into a sound sleep after falling down.In the past period of time, he was full of worries and worries, and he really couldn't hold on even after a fierce fight today.

Hearing the steady snoring from the side of his ear, Tu Wang also felt that he was bored, tentatively stretched out his hand, and then touched a rough scabbard, and a low voice asked in his ear: "What are you touching?"

On the side, a soldier of the Tang army sat cross-legged with his sword in his arms. Even though he was in the cave where he couldn't see his fingers, he still stared at every move of the black shadow of the earth king.

If there was nothing to say all night, everyone continued on the road the next morning after eating. If so, they drove the mountain road for two days in a row before arriving at the hiding place that the earth king said.

When Guo Yuanzhen looked around the terrain, he suddenly found out that they had traveled for three days, and the final destination was actually in the valley behind the peaks and cliffs behind the peaks and cliffs where the foreign troops garrisoned outside Daowu City!If ignoring the ups and downs of the peaks and ridges, and only counting the straight-line distance, it may only be more than 20 miles away.

Seeing the surprise on Guo Yuanzhen's face, the monarch of the attached country raised his eyebrows at him proudly, showing off his clever plan.

For this, Guo Yuanzhen can only sigh with emotion, if people give up their morals, they can get happiness.He used to think that he was very happy, but after seeing the earth king, he realized that the previous self was not really happy.

The manor has a long and narrow terrain. There are dozens of slave households belonging to the attached royal family living here all the year round. They collect firewood, fish and hunt, which is like a paradise.Living in a bamboo house next to a mountain is indeed much more comfortable than a cave.

But even if Guo Yuanzhen wanted to be comfortable, he would not come to this poor mountain and remote place. After a short rest, he lifted the earth king to the bamboo building, and said with a serious face: "Now it's time to talk, I'll wait here What is the purpose of coming here. Don’t think that being driven out of the city is a danger to you, if you can help me succeed, even my Tang Dynasty can help you restore your country!"

Hearing this, the monarch of the attached country immediately widened his eyes and blushed. He didn't know whether he was sincerely expecting it or acting deliberately. In short, he was so excited that Guo Yuanzhen moved slightly to the window of the bamboo building to prevent this guy from jumping up and doing something. Disgusting action.

"I have been waiting for this day for a long time! I know that the Celestial Empire will not abandon my vassal, and there are still tribute certificates kept in the country!"

While speaking, the monarch of the attached country took out an old silk book from his side, and held it to Guo Yuanzhen with both hands with a sincere face.

Guo Yuanzhen was surprised when he heard the words, he looked down and threw the silk book on the ground, and said in a muffled voice, "This is the former Sui seal book, it has nothing to do with my Tang Dynasty!"

Chapter 0651 I am powerful, vow to kill Qin Ling

Although the former Sui's book of state was just a joke, Guo Yuanzhen was quite satisfied with the attitude of the Tuwang.The other party was so savvy, it saved Guo Yuanzhen some coercion and lure procedures.

This earth king's cooperative attitude seems a little unnatural. After all, he was living a comfortable life, but was killed by Guo Yuanzhen and other strong men into the capital and even invaded the capital. Misfortune and fortune are unpredictable.

If it were any bloody person, it would be difficult for him to swallow this breath, and he would instead hook up with the enemy.

But this is indeed the normal state of existence of the monarchs of small states. If they can close their small buildings and form a unified one, they will naturally be happy, arrogant and self-respecting.But if once exposed to a bigger force, the disparity in strength between each other is so great that they are not even qualified to die together, then they can only accept their fate.

After all, the courage of a man is no more than the two dead bodies, but if the king really wants to rise up and resist, he is not the only one who died.What's more, after losing dignity, life can also be very comfortable, just like when the earth king Daotu killed his wife and daughter, he was still calculating. raise children.

As long as you can save your life, there is no need to have fun and entertainment.After all, everything he has is far greater than his so-called self-esteem.

Guo Yuanzhen felt a little embarrassed when the king of Tu cooperated so much. He scratched his head and patted his body and said, "It's really rare for a king to have such insight. But I can only trust my words, and I don't have any tokens around me to prove my identity. To do it is to risk your life, and if you fail, then there is no need to leave any traces to laugh at the world."

"There is no need to prove it! If a strong man is so brave, he must be a great figure in the Tang Dynasty. This kind of courage and boldness are not something ordinary people can pretend to be!"

After hearing the words, Tu Wang said with a serious face, saying that he was wise and had already seen through Guo Yuanzhen's origin.

"Haha, don't say that. In the four poles of the Tang Dynasty, there are countless brave men in the country. Like me, needless to say, there are still a few thousand or a dozen. It's not a big deal. Great man, but if you want to take care of the king and other lords of the southwestern barbarian state, you only need to hand over a word."

Guo Yuanzhen patted Tuwang on the shoulder with a big smile, and then said seriously: "Since we have reached this point, there is no need to talk nonsense. The king has always been interested in Huabang, China, so help me recruit soldiers in your homeland." Thousands, kill the bandits who invaded this territory, and I will help you restore your ancestral property, and you will help me to gain power in the southwest, and you will benefit from both, and you will be worthy of our acquaintance."

Hearing this, the monarch of the attached country froze for a moment, and said with a dry smile after a while: "I am now in such a state of despondency, the strong man has also seen it for himself. But if there are still loyal and brave people willing to die for me, why should I... The Great Tang is the Chinese Empire , Tubo is a fierce country in Xiling, and my attached country is just a small bud between two high mountains, I really dare not..."

Guo Yuanzhen's face immediately pulled when he heard the words, and he said angrily: "I led a group of brave disciples to travel far and wide to attack, risking my life to fight, is it just for your mere two or three words of lip service? The three-point smile is to respect your knowledge , but if you rely on this stinginess and refuse to be sincere, and the sword comes out of its sheath, there is no reason to return without blood!"

Seeing that Guo Yuanzhen turned his face suddenly, the monarch of the attached country cried out secretly in his heart, and said with a bitter face: "People who lose their country, they have no face and send them to live in the world. Of course, a strong man has such a strong deed, and of course he is not only interested in wealth. But apart from these, I have already There is nothing to give. The strong man simply said why he came to attack our country, as long as he can save my life and enjoy the blessings of the gods on this side of the mountain, I will obey!"

"You are not an ignorant person. I would like to hear that Tubo will definitely not bear the disturbance in your country. If you are not captured by me, what strategy can you use to deal with Tubo's accusation?"

Since Guo Yuanzhen saw that the earth king was also a cunning person, he naturally wouldn't back up easily. He wanted to intimidate the other party's hole cards as much as possible. Since you have been sent here, and you have disturbed your country with just a few words, and let the Japanese army divide your troops, you know more than you can imagine."

"Don't, don't dare!"

After hearing the words, the monarch of the Fuguo waved his hands again and again, and then said: "Since the Year of the Pig, there have been frequent turmoil in our country, and Tubo is naturally very angry about it. There are many evil voices wanting to kill me to intimidate the people of the country, but it is not all without support. Although the cause of the chaos this time is different, there is still a way to remedy it..."

The year of the pig is the way of dating in Tubo, that is, the first year of Yongchang in the Tang Dynasty.

Guo Yuanzhen listened carefully to the Tu Wang's narration, and soon realized that the people who the Tu Wang depended on for his livelihood were nothing more than bribes and bribes of powerful figures in the country.Such a subjugated puppet, life and death are only in the mind of others, even if there are some clever tricks, there is no room for them to display them.

However, although this technique is old-fashioned, Guo Yuanzhen still heard some valuable information in it.

First of all, the king of the attached country can be said to have a wide range of friends, and all nobles who can be named in the country have some deep or shallow connections with him.

Of course, it does not rule out the possibility of Tu Wang's self-boasting, but what Tu Wang said is enough to make Guo Yuanzhen look up to him.That is, until now, the Fan Kingdom has not collected taxes on the Tuwang's manor property.

Guo Yuanzhen has a little understanding of the system of the Fan Kingdom. Since Ludong Zan divided households, except for those hereditary nobles, everyone else in the Fan Kingdom has to bear taxes and various labors.And even nobles who are exempted from taxes must participate in the big data collection of the League of Nations in the country to contribute to the expansion of the Fan Kingdom.

This Tuwang, a subjugated king and a flattering puppet, can actually receive the same treatment as the nobles of the Fan Kingdom. It can be seen that he is indeed not as useless as he appears on the surface, and his friendship must be with a group of powerful figures in the Fan Kingdom.

The fact that Tu Wang was able to marry such a group of Tubo nobles with such a disparity in status, in addition to being good at dancing and making relationships, also shows another problem, that is, these nobles in the Tubo country are really poor.

Although the country is growing stronger and stronger, the distribution of the gains from foreign wars is extremely uneven.The biggest achievement of its external development is undoubtedly the annexation of Tuyuhun, but after occupying Tuyuhun, this territory was immediately taken over by the Gar family as private land. Fang, but Qinling lacked this awareness.

The imbalance in the eyes of the distribution of the war is also one of the reasons for the deep contradictions in the Fan Kingdom.They may have won many battles and victories, but after a careful calculation by the nobles, they didn't get anything, so who would be willing to change it?A tributary land king in the Great Tibet area appeared brave enough to donate, and the aristocrats of the Tibetan kingdom were naturally very precious.

At the same time, Guo Yuanzhen also realized another problem, that is, the local king of the attached country could satisfy so many aristocrats of the foreign country at the same time.

He has been in the Tibetan area for nearly two months, and he has a deep understanding of the specific situation in this area. He soon realized a problem, that is, there are definitely a large number of Sichuan and Shu merchants who are responsible for trading with the king of the attached country. Continuously provide the products of the Tang Kingdom, so that the king of the attached country can satisfy the huge demands of the nobles of the Fan Kingdom.

This situation was something Guo Yuanzhen hadn't grasped before, and Guo Wanjun hadn't mentioned it to him either.Maybe Guo Wanjun deliberately concealed it, or maybe he didn't get involved in the trade with the attached royal family.

After pondering for a while, Guo Yuanzhen was more inclined to the latter.Although Guo Wanjun is a powerful man in Sichuan and Sichuan, it does not mean that he can master all the trade routes between Tang and Tibet.Moreover, Guo Wanjun's following him this time was regarded as going through life and death, and he took quite a risk, and he might even be in danger of dying at any time.If Guo Wanjun knew that he could get in touch with King Fuguotu through other means, there was no reason to hide it.

Merchants and merchants, only monopolizing and hoarding can make huge profits.Just looking at how much risk Guo Yuanzhen himself took in order to get in touch with the king of the attached country, one can imagine how difficult it is for ordinary people to get in touch with this puppet king who is under the surveillance of the foreign army.

Perhaps a group of businessmen have obtained such an opportunity by chance, of course, they must firmly grasp this way of making a fortune, form a closed small circle, and monopolize the huge profits!

Thinking of this, Guo Yuanzhen sneered.After King Yong took control of the situation in Kansai and Longyou, his next step would definitely be to strengthen his control over Central Shu. This large private trade hidden in the dark and out of control must be suppressed.

Even if the overall control over the Tang-Tibetan trade is not considered, it is impossible to timely and effectively monitor whether these private merchants have transported a large number of prohibited or even strategic items to the Fan country!

Even Guo Wanjun, a tycoon from Sichuan and Shu who traveled here for a long time, didn't know that such a trade route existed, which shows that this group of people did a good job of keeping secrets.But now that Guo Yuanzhen has directly controlled their counterparts, after returning to the country, he will naturally find out these people one by one!

The king of Fuguotu explained a lot. Apart from the above-mentioned income, one of Guo Yuanzhen's biggest feelings is that the people of Fanguo, especially its aristocrats, are quite hungry for goods from the Tang Dynasty.

However, since the hard-line war faction of the Gar family is now in power in the Fan Kingdom, the relationship between the two countries is extremely bad, so the official large-scale mutual market cannot be carried out at all.

Because the king of Fuguo is located in the middle of the Tang-Tibet trade like Dazang, to a certain extent, the nobles of the country can satisfy the thirst for materials of the nobles of the country, so they can still maintain their puppet status without being caught by the Tibetans despite the chaos in their own country. country to give up completely.

After understanding this, Guo Yuanzhen was in a cheerful mood. He patted Tu Wang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Since the king has told you all things frankly, I will not hide anything from you anymore. I came from the middle of the country, so I am not the court, but He is one of the most powerful and most prestigious kings in our country.

This great king is fighting with Qin Ling, the Prime Minister of the Fan Kingdom, in Longbian. Qin Ling has monopolized the power of the Fan Kingdom, and has tried to break the etiquette of the Fan Kingdom's nephew several times, so my king will kill Qin Ling to vent his anger!This time, I was ordered by the king to go to this wild place, just to facilitate this matter. If the king can help me succeed, I don’t have to make wild wishes. The rest of your life, the misfortune and fortune, are all in my king’s mind! "

Chapter 0652 only suffers from short-sightedness, and must be rewarded for merit

"The Great Tang is going to war with the Fan Kingdom again?"

After hearing the words, the monarch of the attached country couldn't help but exclaimed, and looked at Guo Yuanzhen suspiciously, a little bit unwilling to believe, or unable to understand.

Although the news of his country is mostly blocked, he also knows that Tubo has defeated Datang in several wars.

His country is currently a vassal of Tubo, and in order to establish its strong and invincible prestige, Tubo naturally wants to focus on publicizing several times of majestic deeds of defeating Datang among its vassal tribes.After all, in the current era, Datang is synonymous with strength and prosperity.

Seeing Tu Wang's expression like this, Guo Yuanzhen couldn't help but sneered and said: "My Tang Dynasty was established in the center of the world, with a profound foundation and controlled hundreds of clans. Tubo is just a bandit trouble that suddenly rose from the west. He has a vicious heart, and he went out to plunder and strengthen himself, and all the tribes in the custody reported to the bandits, so my emperor sent divisions to attack them. Although he was slightly defeated, he also knew that the bandits had indeed grown stronger.

In the past few years, the heroine of the middle school, the Holy Emperor, was in charge of affairs, rested with the people, and did not pay attention to military affairs. Moreover, Tubo did not dare to lightly invade our country, so there was no large army to discuss it with the mainland.But in the Western Regions, they still killed the bandits so hard that they had no place to stand.Up to now, the people of the country are well-stocked, a generation of young and strong warriors have been enlisted in the army, and they are also masters and famous kings who are in charge of Western military affairs. "

In order to increase the persuasiveness of his words, Guo Yuanzhen even began to belittle himself, laughing at himself and said: "Famous kings love young and strong, and a middle-aged man like me who is aging can't use the front, so he is only sent to the wilderness in the southwest." The state of affairs accumulates meritorious deeds. Even a person like me who has no weapons can control thousands of foreign troops with only a few dozen soldiers. How about the hundreds of thousands of truly brave men in armor in our country? , can you imagine?"

Guo Yuanzhen's self-deprecating words are still very convincing. After all, the vassal monarch himself was deeply disturbed by it, and his life is still under Guo Yuanzhen's control.From this, if you start to associate again, the changes in your eyes will inevitably become more abundant.

How powerful the Tang Dynasty is, the vassal monarch really has no specific concept.Living in a wild land, although his country also had the experience of paying tribute to the Central Dynasty in the early years, it was already the work of his grandparents.Therefore, for the concept of the heavenly kingdom, for the vassal king, it is only limited to listening to grandpa's talk about the past.

Although there are often merchants in the realm, and the vassal monarch has also interviewed some merchants and asked about the Great Tang, but those merchants themselves are also in a despicable position in the country, and it is difficult to outline the whole picture of a great empire. come out.But just the huge amount and variety of goods they provided can already make people deeply feel the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

But after thinking about it, the monarch of the attached country couldn't help but said: "The Fan Kingdom talks about Qinling, but it is by no means a simple person. The outstanding people who come out once in a thousand years in Tibet will have no good end for anyone who is an enemy. In the old days, the ministers of the Fan Kingdom also negotiated an alliance with the Qinling tribe in Daowu City. Although they succeeded in killing Qinling's elder brother, they were all retaliated by Qinling, and even our country was affected a lot..."

As a puppet supported by the Fan Kingdom, Qinling has gained a lot of prestige in the heart of the King of the Fu Kingdom.

The Yimeng he was talking about this time was that the Tubo ministers colluded with the Gar family in the old years to plot a rebellion and killed Qinling's elder brother, who was then Dalun Zan Xiruo.

But after Qinling returned to the country, none of those who participated in the conspiracy ended well, and the entire Tubo kingdom was in turmoil. Zhu Ruruben alone died several times, including some state leaders who were handed down from generation to generation.

Because the rebellion started from Daowu City, the attached country was also affected by it. From Luosuo City, the capital of the Tubo king, to the Dazang area where the attached country is located, it can be said that blood flowed like a river.The father of the king of the attached country, the earth king of the previous generation died of panic directly in this turmoil, and even walked dozens of miles to the Qinling camp to beg for mercy for several days and nights, and finally survived.

Since then, Qinling's toughness can be said to be deeply imprinted in the heart of the vassal monarch, even if he gossips in private, he dare not speak disrespectfully.

When he heard that the warrior of the Tang Kingdom in front of him actually wanted to win him over to make Qin Ling an enemy, he felt a pain in his knees, and subconsciously wanted to refuse.

The lessons learned in the early years were so painful that he still has lingering fears. In his mind, fighting against Qinling is simply more dangerous than fighting against Tubo.Even if you hear such news, you have to cover your ears and avoid it, let alone join it.

Guo Yuanzhen saw the terrified look on Tu Wang's face, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly laughed: "Qinling is nothing more than a powerful traitor in the country, and it is worthy of the king's fear? I am a mere pawn of a famous king of the Tang Dynasty. How dare you attack your capital directly and go away with the king. If Qinling is so strong that there is no fear, the offender will die, and the king still lives?"

"This, how is this the same? I, I have never offended Qinling's words or deeds. Back then, our country was only coerced into trouble by the nobles of the Tibetan kingdom, and this was the only way to get revenge. Although I don't know how outstanding the Tang Kingdom is fighting against Dalun this time. , but I saw that so many powerful men in the Fan Kingdom were enemies with Qinling, they would die badly. Even if I try my best to help the strong men, I will not be able to harm the big talk far away in Qinghai..."

The awe of the Qinling Mausoleum was deeply rooted in the king of the attached country, and he said with a face of fear, and frowned, carefully observing the changes in Guo Yuanzhen's expression.

Guo Yuanzhen saw this change in Tu Wang's expression, and naturally had a clear understanding of his mind.The earth king has talked so much about his awe of the Qinling Mausoleum, but he is still trying to figure out how much he will take up in his future plan, and the second is to strive for safety as much as possible.To put it bluntly, I don't want to take risks, but I want more benefits.

"The barbarian small state attached to the country has no place to stand between the two powers. Whether it is my king or the Qinling of the fan country, how can we know who the king is when they confront each other? My king sent me into this wilderness In this situation, I was sympathetic to you barbarians who are controlled by the foreign country."

Knowing that Tu Wang was also eager to move, Guo Yuanzhen put it more bluntly: "My Tang Dynasty is rich and strong, and if there are military forces on the side, there are many people ready for use, so you can ask for nothing.

But it is not the case for the Fan Kingdom. Its country suddenly rose from the high mountains in the west, and it made up for its expenses with its fierce soldiers and plundering everywhere.Anyone who has a plan for offense and defense must force vassals in order to maintain them.In this battle in Qinghai, the victory and defeat will not be contested in a short time, the Qinling will not die, and the Tang army will not withdraw!

Using each other's troops for a long time is a plan. My Tang Dynasty's national strength is at its peak, and it can be maintained forever.However, if the Qin Mausoleum of the Fan Kingdom wants to make a long-term defense, it must recruit people from the various states to help in the battle.In the past years, because of Qinling's strong and indiscriminate soldiers, the Fan Kingdom has long been exhausted. If you and other states are punished again, how long will the king be able to support himself? "

Speaking of this, Guo Yuanzhen patted Tu Wang on the shoulder again and sighed: "My king will kill Qinling, just because he has benevolence in his heart, and he doesn't want to see you wait for the barbarian country to donate its life to help increase the power of thieves, so I visited Southwestern barbarians. Since you, the king, also have a plan and don’t want to be an enemy of Qinling, there is no point in forcing it. This time I attacked your city and disturbed me a little, but I had no intention of doing harm. After a short rest here , bid farewell and leave."

After finishing speaking, Guo Yuanzhen stood up and clasped his fists, expressing that there was no need to continue talking.

However, when the monarch of the attached country saw his statement like this, he was a little anxious for a while, and hurriedly raised his hand and said: "I, I am not... a strong man has a deep understanding of the dangers of our country. Naturally, I am not willing to stand still and want to save myself. But I only hate My power is weak and I can't really hurt Da Lun, if I offend him again, I'm afraid I will get even more serious revenge..."

The monarch of the attached country also had a bitter look on his face when he said this: "Da Lun's aggressive attacks and frequent requisitions, regardless of the country or the barbarians, complained endlessly. But only because he is really arrogant and difficult to control, he can only endure the hardships in silence , but in each other's hearts, who doesn't hope that the heavenly soldiers will eradicate him!

In the past, my affiliated country was able to control Tibet, so it was naturally not a weak small country.But now even the king's guards are conscripted to fight, so that there are no strong guards around me, and dozens of strong men can hold me hostage.This is all about harming me, can there be no hatred in my heart? "

Having said this, the monarch of the attached country finally expressed his resentment towards Qinling from the bottom of his heart.Over the years, Qinling's militarism has already caused complaints at home and abroad, especially those vassals of the barbarians, and they can't wait to have their skin cramped to vent their anger.

"I am now under the control of the Fan Kingdom, and I am a joke in the land of Dazang. I have lost my prestige, and even the various tribes in the country no longer respect me as a king. If a strong man wants to use my name to hook up It is really difficult for these barbarian tribes in the southwest to resist the foreign country..."

The monarch of the attached country did not lose his self-knowledge. When he talked about this, his face showed a bit of embarrassment.

After Guo Yuanzhen heard the words, he said with a smile: "The barbarians in the southwest are all scattered and have their own calculations. Even if they are barely integrated, they will not be a considerable force. If you want to directly touch Qinling, you still need to start from the inside of the Fan Kingdom. The king and the Fan Many dignitaries in the country have colluded with goods, which can be greatly used. In the past, the king was weak, so he could only rely on this to protect himself. But now, if you are willing to obey my arrangement, you can temporarily borrow the power of my famous king of the Tang Dynasty. Nature has a lot to gain!"

Hearing what Guo Yuanzhen said, the monarch of the attached country immediately showed great interest: "Can the strong man speak more shallowly?"

"Nowadays in the country of Fan, the Gar family dominates, and the affairs of the country are almost family affairs. If it is not eliminated, the country will not be a country, and the people of the country can have no anger? Now my Tang Dynasty Zhuangjia is gathered in Qinghai, and Qinling's mind and heart are all focused on that , I have no time to look back at the country. This is also a good opportunity for the country to get rid of this big traitor. If we don’t do it now, how long will we wait?”

Hearing Guo Yuanzhen's analysis, the expression of the monarch of the attached country also changed: "Qinling has been in power for a long time, and there are more than one family in the Fan Kingdom who want to kill him. But, even if they want to plan something, I'm afraid they won't listen to my instigation... ..."

Whether the aristocrats of the Fan Kingdom would listen to their own instigation is still a second matter. The key point is that the monarch of the attached country cannot see opportunities for himself to make profits.

After Guo Yuanzhen heard the words, he said with a smile: "This is to consider whether the king understands the situation of the foreign country or not. My king has never been generous with rewarding scholars, and the rich and the rich are waiting for talents. The only problem is that the talents are weak. Hard work pays off!"

Chapter 0653 Fan Wangmu, asking questions in the deep palace

Luosuo City is located in the Jiqu River Valley on the plateau. It is cold but not harsh in winter, and not fumigated in summer.

One year ago, the ruler of the Jiqu River Valley was Queen Sun Bo.At that time, Tubo Zanpu Nanri Lunzan, who was located in Yalong, Shannan, took advantage of the turmoil in Sun Bo's country and led [-] elite soldiers. With the cooperation of Sun Bo's nobles Niangshi and Webster, they attacked Sun Bo's country in one fell swoop, and since then After that, Tubo became the sole overlord in eastern Tibet.

But soon Nanri Lunzan was poisoned and killed by the old tribe of Shannan. After his son Songtsen Gampo succeeded to the throne, in order to get rid of the constraints and oppression of the old tribe of Shannan, and to rule his country more conveniently, he took the Jiqu River Valley as the new The ruling center of the country, built a city in this area as the capital, which is today's Luosuo City.

For thousands of years since then, although the situation on the plateau has changed, the location of Luosuo City has always been the political and religious center on the plateau, attracting many tribes to come to worship.

Now that Tubo is becoming more and more powerful, it has become the overlord of the Western Frontier, and the name of its king's capital, Luosuo City, has naturally spread all over the world.However, although Luosuo City has a high reputation, it is not a completed majestic city itself.

In the old years, the Jiqu River often flooded, so a large number of lakes and swamps formed around its valley. The real liveable area is only a few tens of miles in radius, and it cannot be connected into a piece at all.

The ruling center of Tubo had just been transferred here in the past, and the living environment of farming and animal husbandry in previous years did not allow them to have rich civil engineering experience.Therefore, at the beginning of the establishment of the Tubo city here, there was no unified plan, nothing more than adapting measures to local conditions and living in pens.

Although Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty came to Tibet and brought a large number of craftsmen, Luosuo City experienced another round of large-scale construction, but the original layout has been established, and there has been no radical change.

Up to now, Luosuo City is based on the Hongshan Palace, centered on the Jokhang Temple, and there are many manors surrounded by dignitaries and state leaders in the middle.In a narrow sense, Luosuo City refers only to the Hongshan Palace where Zanpu lived and its surrounding ancillary buildings. In a broad sense, Luosuo City refers to the many manor buildings distributed in the Jiqu River Valley.
