Chapter 388 Bafang Thunder 3

The roof of the world is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which is obviously not formed in the Tang Dynasty. In the eyes of the Tang people, there is only "the world" and there is no concept of "world".

On the border between Tuyuhun and Tubo, there is a plateau area that passes by Tanggula Mountain and Kunlun Mountain. The mountains are majestic, and the snow peaks are continuous and the glaciers are spread. In addition, the rivers and lakes are dense and the birthplace of the Yangtze River and the Lancang River. The water and grass are rich, cattle and sheep are fat and there are many salt fields, so it becomes Tubo. The most important agricultural and pastures and salt-producing places. Because of its special geographical location, it is like a plateau gateway, so it is also an important military base.

The Tubo people called this place "Gaorumus", which means the desert pearl with many rivers, that is, the current "Golmud"; while the Tang people gave him a meaningful and elegant name - "Top of the World".

The top of the world is naturally insurmountable and insurmountable. On the one hand, the reason for the harsh natural environment and weather is that one-third of the plateau soldiers in Tubo are located here, which is the main reason.

Tubo, almost all the people are soldiers. After the young Tubo Zanpu abandoned Zong Nongzan (also known as Songtzan Gampo in later generations) and unified the plateau, the government army system of the Tang Dynasty divided 600,000 soldiers and horses on the whole plateau into more than 1,000 units of "Ru". The Ministry of Daru has the management of marshals and deputy marshals, but like the "general of the marching road" in the military system of the Tang Dynasty, it is not usually set up, and it is only awarded by Zanpu personally during the expedition.

However, here in Golmud, there is a special Tubo "Marshal" who is in charge all year round. He led 200,000 plateau iron riders to take Golmud as the foothills of Tianshan Mountain, and was far away from the Dafei Sichuan Military Region of the Tang Dynasty, like a snowy Tibetan mastiff with fangs, guarding the gateway territory of the snowy plateau.

The marshal of the Tuben Golmud Military Region can be on the same level as the Great Theory (Prime Minister) of the Tubo Dynasty, and one person is more than 10,000 people. Today's Marshal Golmud is a young man who can't stand up - Gar Qinling. And his father is now the famous prime minister of the Tubo Dynasty, the famous prime minister of the Tibet Empire, and the Tang people call it "Lu Dongzan".

The Ghar family was originally an aristocrat of the Tubo Dynasty. Now the father and son are in charge of the government and lead the army and horses respectively, and the Ghar family has reached its peak. It was also with the assistance of Lu Dongzan that the 13-year-old Abandoned Zong Nongzan unified the Tubo Plateau.

The nominal 33rd Tubo Zanpu is the founding king of the Tubo Dynasty in the practical sense!

The Gar family was in a moment; the young military commander, Gar Qinling, was in high spirits, like a blue and strong eagle with full wings. He looked at the world on the high branches of Golmud, waiting for the amazing day to come.

Liu Shanyin, Shaoqing of Hongyu Temple, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, knew what kind of person he was going to face. The gar family is unmatched in Tubo, but Qinling became the first military marshal of Tubo by no means because of his father's relationship with the family, which he is quite clear.

Tubo people are generally precocious, and at the age of ten, they can become biological children to fight and kill the enemy. Qinling, who is more than 20 years old, has been fighting on the battlefield for more than ten years, calling him a suitable battlefield. Moreover, his illiterate Tubo prime minister's father gave birth to him, a military genius who is proficient in Sinology and military tactics!

After more than ten years in the army, the three armies have been the most bravely crowned; the soldiers fought more than a hundred battles, but they were not defeated! - Qinling can have today's status, all of which were killed by himself. Thus, Zamp assuredly handed over one-third of the country's soldiers and horses to Qinling, the most important gateway to the whole dynasty.

The glacier enters the clouds, and the cold wind is like a knife.

Liu Shanyin squinted and looked at the thousands of miles of glaciers in the vast snowy area in front of him. He couldn't help taking a deep breath and shouted, "Great rivers and mountains! Great rivers and mountains!"

Then, a violent gasp.

Although he lived in Dafeichuan for a month before coming to Geer, he still can't adapt to the thin air here.

"Liu Hongyu, let's wait here for them to greet us. Don't we go into Tubo's barracks by ourselves?" The accompanying official said with some trouble, "If you don't come in another three or two hours, it will be dark. We will be frozen to death!"

"Haha, you're scared!" Liu Shan laughed presumptuously and said, "I don't forgive him for spitting up the barbarians. He doesn't have the courage to freeze me to death!" If there is no Guo Xiangying in gar Qinling within an hour, I will call back home.

"Do you want to go home?" The people accompanying me are waiting for it - this is too much of a joke!

"Speak less nonsense, one hour! Wait!"

Almost as soon as the words fell, in the vast white snow ahead, there were several eye-catching black spots, and nearly a hundred riders galloped like a whirlwind.

"Ha ha, here we go!" Liu Shan smiled because he stroked his head, and his eyes narrowed into a crack and looked ahead as if he were thinking.

All the people accompanying were relieved. Who wants to stay for a long time in this damn place where urinating in the ice and snow can freeze into a knife?

The group of cavalry rushed to the front, and it was indeed the cavalry of Tubo. They fanned and surrounded dozens of Tang envoys in the middle, led by a bearded young man, who took two steps forward and spoke in Fan language.

Liu Shanyin waved his hand, and the accompanying guide and translator came forward to show his identity. The young man immediately saluted him in the first few steps and asked him to go to the Tubo military camp.

"Tell him that if the Chalqinling hadn't been out to meet him in person, he would have refused to take a step forward." Liu Shanyin said.

The post official hesitated for a moment and replied truthfully. The young man was obviously angry. A group of cavalry squinted at them coldly for a while and then went away.

After half an hour, a large number of cavalry appeared in front of them, about a mover. There were a lot of colorful flags and horns. First, as if a big handsome flag took the lead, gar Qinling went out to greet him in person.

Liu Shan called everyone and only brought three translators forward.

The handsome flag was beckoning, and the Qinling horse slowly stepped forward first. Looking at Liu Shanyin's slightly sarcastic smile, he pointed to Liu Shanyin with a horse whip and said in fluent Chinese, "Are you the messenger of Tang Ting?"

"It's my official." Liu Shanyin looked at him with the same expression and said slowly, "Shaoqing of Hongyu Temple, Liu Shanyin."

"From Sipin Shaoqing, the official is a little younger." Qinling sneered and said, "After seeing Ben Shuai, why don't you get off the horse to worship?"

"The envoy of the upper country does not worship the king of the lower country, not to mention that you are only the minister of the lower country?" Liu Shan shook his head and smiled and said, "Qinling, don't say that you are the Marshal of Tubo at this moment. Even Zanpu has to treat me politely here. You are so indifferent and tricky, which is a loss for the country. I would like to ask, is this how you Zanpu usually teaches you how to treat guests?

"The sword is really awesome." Garqinling smiled indifferently, turned over and stood beside the road, stroked his chest and bent down to salute, "Please invite Liu Hongyu, the envoy of the kingdom, to enter the camp for a while!"

"Good to say, good to say." Liu Shanyin smiled and said, "Do you dare to ask where your country's praise is? This envoy came under the order of the emperor, and the big and small matters should only be discussed with Zanpu.

"The Han people have something to say, but you don't ask me." The corners of the mouth of gar Qinling sneered, "Where is Zanpu, and can I ask?"

"That's interesting." Liu Shan took a deep breath and shouted, "As early as two months ago, the Tang Dynasty sent a messenger to inform your country that I would go to the plateau and arrive today to discuss the marriage. Nowadays, the general doesn't know where Zanpu is going. In this way, I thought that your country did not accept the peace and marriage with any sincerity. Why did the messenger go to your barracks? - If you don't work far away, you can go back."

"I have a bad temper." Instead of being angry, he smiled and said, "State affairs are the most important thing, and you must not be angry. As the king of a country, you are busy with the military and politics, so you can't wait for your envoy in the barracks, can you? Your envoy will ask you to enter the camp and rest for a while, and then I will send someone to invite Zanpu immediately.

"This is still like a human word." Liu Shan shook his horse's rein because of a sneer and said, "My hand is going to be frozen and cracked by the plateau, and I can't hold the rein. Come forward and lead the horse."

As soon as he said this, Liu Shan's faces changed because of the post officials behind him!

There was a faint look on the face of gar Qinling, but he immediately regained his silent smile. He took two steps forward to take the reins and led the horse forward.

More than a thousand Tubo iron riders and dozens of people present suspected that they were dazzled. Many Tubo cavalrymen were about to pull out their machetes and come forward to kill Liu Shanyin under the knife!

Ghar Qinling talked and laughed easily. He waved his hand to signal the soldiers and horses on both sides to escort him. He led the horse to Liu Shanyin's horse and said with a smile, "Your envoy is a high-ranking envoy of heaven. It is a blessing that I can lead the horse for you. I have studied the classics of the Han family since he was a child. I remember that Han Xin was humiliated in history books. Today, I was humiliated by you. What do you think?

"General, don't worry, you won't say anything about Huaiyin (Han Xin is from Huaiyin and is named Huaiyin Marquis)." Liu Shan said with a smile.

Qinling was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I'm afraid that the general will laugh at the whole world!" Liu Shan laughed loudly and said, "If you can only be humiliated and comparable to the Marquis of Huaiyin, it will be good for you natives to drill other people's crotch. From this, there must be countless Huaiyin on the plateau!"

"Haha!" The garqinling was still not angry. Instead, he laughed and said, "Your envoy is really good at sophistry, and he does not lose the habits of the Tang people. When I read Zuo Zhuan, I saw a sentence that I was very puzzled, so I wanted to ask your envoy - 'If you are not my family, your heart must be different'. What does this mean? Does it mean that you Tang people can recite poems that are unmatched and have no ability to march and fight? Think of yourself very highly as the upper country, and regard us as the barbarian people who drink blood?

"The general is really a little knowledgeable, and he has also read Zuo Zhuan." Liu Shan said with a big smile, "Zuo Zhuan·Cong's Four Years" contains: 'If it is not our family, its heart will be different. Although Chu is big, it is not my clan. What do you want to say?' - The deep meaning here is that you can only know what you can't say.

"Since Mr. is an envoy of the Shangguo, he should be erudite and knowledgeable, but why do I cherish myself and refuse to teach him?" Qinling looked at the front with his head held high, and he couldn't stop at his feet. He said, "Have you ever been to Lanzhou when you came?"

"That's natural."

Qinling suddenly turned his head and looked at Liu Shanyin with knife-like eyes and said, "Is the noble envoy ordered by the emperor or by listening to Qin Mubai's order?"

Liu Shan's body was very unnaturally cold.

The military commander in front of him, who is less than 30 years old and above ten thousand people under Tubo, obviously has a mind, knowledge and city government beyond his expectations. And the unangry momentum and sharpness of his body immediately made him look calm and tall when he was leading people.

"Since the envoy is a state envoy, he is naturally ordered to do his job. Why does the general have to ask more?" Liu Shan replied calmly.

"That's good. That's good." Garqinling said with a smile, "In this way, you can still complete the mission safely."

"Oh, the general's words are interesting." Liu Shanyin said, "If you listen to the general's words, what if you listen to Qin Mubai?"

"It's very simple." Garqinling smiled and said, "Even if I don't kill the noble envoy, the noble envoy will cross the plateau."

Liu Shanyin's expression froze unnaturally.

"What's the matter with what's on your mind?" Ghar Qinling laughed and said, "Don't you want to die on the plateau by martyrdom, and then ruin this talk and marriage to provoke the war between the two countries? This is a great sin! Think twice, don't get along with Qin Mubai and harm the country!"

"What a great boy!" Liu Shan couldn't help sighing and taking a deep breath, forced a smile, and said, "Is the general using the method against me? It can be seen that the general is not sincere to talk about marriage, is it?

"If a bright person doesn't say secret words, you really guessed it right." Gar Qinling smiled coldly and slanted at Liu Shanyin and said, "If it hadn't been for the negotiation and marriage between Zanpu and my father, 200,000 iron riders under my command would have already broken through Lanzhou to take the Central Plains. In this way, there will be no time for me to lead the horse for you today. It should be the arrogant and domineering Qin Mubai kneeling in front of Ben Shuai and licking his shoes and socks!"

"The toad yawned, and his tone was not small!" Liu Shan laughed loudly, "In the battle of Dafeichuan, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the general were defeated by more than a hundred people of Qin Shaoshuai. Is such a great shame forgotten so quickly?"

"It's like I won't forget the shame of today." Gar Qinling took the horse forward carelessly with a smile on his face, and said leisurely, "You and I, wait and see."
