About four hundred miles north of Luoxe, there is a country named Nangba.
Before the rise of Tubo from Shannan, the Nangba people were once the overlords of this snowy plateau. However, when the Tubo people came out from Shannan, the Nangba people quickly surrendered and became part of Yeru.
The Tubo Rudan flag was similar to the Manchu Eight Banners system, in that both soldiers and peasants were integrated into one.
There are five Ru in Tubo, namely Wuru, Yuoru, Yeru, Rula and Sunboru (Supiru). Each Ru is divided into upper and lower parts, which can also be said to be left and right wings.
In addition to the five Ru, there are four Dongdai directly under Zanpu.
Five Ru plus four Dongdai are the Central Army of Tubo.
Then there are the servant armies of vassal states such as Yangtong, Xiangxiong, Dongnu, and Tuyuhun.
When Tubo was at its peak, it could dispatch more than 400,000 troops at a time to compete with the Tang Dynasty. It was still very powerful, otherwise it would not have become the sole co-owner of the Snowy Plateau.
Nangba Tubang was a vassal state of Tubo.
This morning, the king of Nangpa, Zalan Dorje, was beating his slaves with a horse whip to vent his anger.
Because there was a heavy snowfall last night, one of the sheep pens was also collapsed by the snow, and dozens of sheep froze to death. Zalan Dorje became angry and prepared to take over the slaves to establish his authority.
Zhalanduoji beat the shepherd's slave half to death, but he still felt uncomfortable.
At that moment, Zalandoji asked the housekeeper to bring a Tibetan knife, and then asked two warriors to push the slave to the ground and stamp one of his arms on the snow.
Zalandoji slashed with his sword, and the slave's right palm was cut off from the elbow.
Half of his right arm was cut off, and the slave instantly let out a shrill wail. The slaves watching nearby were all frightened and fell to their knees on the ground, trembling.
Zhalanduoji picked up the slave's severed arm and said as a demonstration: "You cheap slaves have committed too many sins in your previous life, so the God of Yala Xiangbo Mountain punished you to be slaves in this life. If you don't work hard to wash away your sins, I can only be a slave in the next life, and I can only be a slave for eternity, life after life, a slave!"
Hundreds of slaves were lying on the ground, muttering prayers.
Zalandoji threw away his slave's half-broken arm and was about to go home to enjoy fine wine and food when suddenly a thunderous shout came from mid-air above his head: "How dare you! How dare you spread my decree indiscriminately!"
This loud shout was like thunder, rumbling and rumbling, shattering people's eardrums.
"Who?" Zalandoji resisted not to kneel down, looking at the sky above his head in horror.
The housekeeper and a dozen warriors behind him also looked frightened and in disbelief.
Hundreds of slaves also raised their heads in unison, looking into the sky in shock.
After a moment, the voice in mid-air sounded again, this time it was directed at the slaves.
"My children, you have suffered. Nangpa people are born equal. No one should be a slave when he is born. The so-called punishment of being a slave in this life is because of sins committed in the previous life. This is all fabricated by greedy and selfish lamas and earth kings. Lies, the God of Yala Xiangbo Mountain has never sent down such ridiculous oracles, they are all false, false, false..."
Hearing this, the faces of the hundreds of prostrate slaves immediately showed a strange expression.
Nangba people are born equal, no one should be a slave after birth? Are all the claims of cleansing sins a lie?
It turns out that the lamas in the temple and the nobles are all liars, all liars, all liars!
The next moment, almost all the slaves looked at Zalandoji, with anger gushing out from their eyes.
"Monster, where did this demon come from?" Zalandoji panicked immediately. Facing hundreds of furious slaves, the butler and a dozen warriors around him could not protect him.
After howling a few times, Zalandoji jumped on his horse and ran away.
The steward and a dozen warriors also mounted their horses and fled.
"Kill them!" Hundreds of slaves rushed to catch up.
Immediately afterwards, the chanting of the Tripitaka rang out in the sky.
The fleeing Nangba warriors fell off their horses one after another.
Because the chanting sound was so loud that they couldn't stand it.
Even Zhalandoji fell off his horse and was beaten into a pulp by the slaves who caught up with him.
In the end, only Zalandoji's housekeeper managed to escape with great perseverance.
The escaped housekeeper did not dare to return to Nangba City, because the slaves in Nangba City were also instigated by the "Yala Xiangbo Mountain God" to rebel and were looting the palace of the Tuwang in the city. The temples inside and outside the city were not spared either.
Seeing the fire in Nangba City from a distance, the housekeeper immediately turned around and headed straight for Luo.
Now, the only thing to do is to report the news of Nang Banu Cong's rebellion to the Prime Minister of Luoxue as soon as possible, and then ask the Prime Minister to send Dong Dai, the imperial guard, to suppress it.
…
Luoxue Hongshan Palace.
The Prime Minister of Tubo, Zhong Bajie, was explaining historical records to his heir, Chisong Dezan.
"Heir, today we are telling a story from the Historical Records, titled Paper Talk..."
"Prime Minister, why does the Tang Dynasty have so many collections of classics and histories? But we in Tubo don't have any?" Chisong Dezan couldn't help but ask his soul question.
"Because the Tang Dynasty or the Han people have a magnificent and splendid culture, but we Tubo do not." Zhong Bajie said very calmly, "It has only been more than a hundred years since the rise of Tubo in Shannan, and we have become the co-owner of the snow-covered plateau. Before, it didn’t even have its own text, let alone classics like the Classics and History.”
Seeing that Chisong Dezan was a little depressed, Zhongbajie added: "It doesn't matter if we don't have a magnificent and splendid culture like the Han people. As long as we catch up, learn the Han people's culture and then turn it into Tubo, we Tubo From then on, people had their own Tibetan writing and culture."
"In the future, we must not lose to the writing and culture of the Han people." Chisong Dezan said solemnly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a centurion from Dongdai, the Imperial Guard, hurriedly came in and knelt down to report: "Sir, Prime Minister, the slaves of Nangba State rebelled and killed King Nangba. Now they are burning everywhere in Nangba City. After killing and plundering, Duoga, the steward of Nangba, asked the Prime Minister to quickly dispatch troops to Nangba to suppress the rebellion of the slaves."
"The slaves are rebelling?" Zhong Bajie frowned immediately.
Chisong Dezan also said in confusion: "Our Tubo slaves have always been docile, how could they rebel?"
While he was talking, another centurion quickly walked in and knelt down to report: "Nangba warrior has urgent military situation, and the heir also has the prime minister, and has urgent military situation!"
"It's Nang Ba again!" Zhong Bajie's face darkened and he shouted, "Bring him in!"
Two centurions immediately went out to help a tired warrior come in.
The warrior threw himself to the ground and saluted: "Nangba centurion Sazarand bows before the heir and the prime minister."
"No." Zhong Bajie asked in a deep voice, "You said there is an urgent military situation on the table. What urgent military situation is it?"
Sazarand took a breath and said: "Three days ago, I found a white fox on the bank of Bangorcuo Lake, so I lurked at the entrance of the cave waiting for the white fox to appear. However, the white fox did not wait, but a Tang army arrived!"
"What did you say, Tang Jun?!" Chisong Dezan and Zhong Bajie turned around at the same time.
This time, not only Chisong Dezan, but also Zhong Bajie, who had always been calm, changed his expression.
"Sazarand, are you sure you're not blind? Are you sure it's Tang Jun?" Zhong Bajie said in a deep voice.
"Prime Minister, I am very sure that it is the Tang Army!" Sazarand said with great certainty, "I have fought with the Tang Army in Hehuang, Jiuqu Land and Yiyi River Valley. I can recognize the Tang Army even if it turns into ashes. .”
"But how is this possible?" Zhong Bajie asked, "How could the Tang army appear in Nangba Tubang?"
"Yes, how is it possible?" Chisong Dezan also looked in disbelief, "Jishishan in the northeast has a hundred thousand garrison troops led by General Shang Jiexi, and Yangtong in the northwest has Wuru personally led by my father. How could the army of the Tang Dynasty suddenly appear in Nangba? Could it be that they came from the sky? Were they magic soldiers descended from the sky?"
The expressions of Sazarande and the two centurions of the Imperial Guard Dongdai suddenly changed. Divine soldiers descended from the sky?
Zhong Bajie quickly reprimanded: "Heir, please be careful, the Tang army is also a human being, and it is by no means a divine soldier. The Tang army who appeared in Nangba may have come from Qiangtang, but Qiangtang is uninhabited for thousands of miles, and It’s hard to find fresh water, so the number of Tang troops coming over must be very small, right?”
"What a mistake. The Tang army has at least tens of thousands of people!" Sazarand said.
"Tens of thousands of people?" Even Zhong Bajie's expression became extremely embarrassed. Now he was in big trouble, and Luo Zhi was about to face a difficult test.
