In Qingtang City, banners cover the sky and war horses rustle.
One hundred thousand people and horses, black and dense like swarms of ants, boundless.
It was snowing heavily in the sky, but before it reached the ground there was a layer of white.
The war horses snorted and breathed out white breath continuously, and the Tibetan soldiers also had white breath coming out of their mouths.
The white breath exhaled by the men and horses is like the water vapor on the earth's steamer.
The white gas exhaled by the men and horses made it seem like a cover with a radius of dozens of miles was formed around Qingtang City, but this cover was filled with steam.
The steam from this huge cover collided with the heavy snow, which immediately melted and formed clouds of mist.
Although Qingtang City is covered with white snow in the distance, there is almost no snow near the ground.
The black color of the people and horses nearby forms a strong contrast with the white color of the snow-capped mountains in the distance, making it even more impressive.
La Jia looked at all this and thought of his adviser Jin Shi's countermeasures.
"Lord, have you ever thought about what Jialuo would do if Zhaojiazhuang was defeated by the coalition forces?" When Jialuo decided to raise troops, Jinshi suddenly came in and bowed his hands and asked.
Lajia was drinking butter tea at the time and was considering the use of troops.
He put down the butter tea in his hand, pointed to the stool, and made a gesture of invitation.
Lajia was a little dissatisfied with Zhaojiazhuang. If there was no Supervisory Government, would this staff dare to bow to him? Can he ask him to sit on a stool?
Not only were there no such offers, but Jinshi couldn't look up into his eyes.
Now that the status of the Han people has improved, he has to behave like a virtuous corporal.
Jinshi thanked him, found a stool and sat down, still looking at the tea cup in front of him.
Lajia didn't understand at first, but when she looked at Jinshi's eyes, she suddenly understood.
This Jinshi not only needs a seat, but also drinks tea.
It would be nice if Jinshi drank butter tea, but he doesn't drink butter tea, but he likes the Han people's drunken spring breeze.
The cost of butter tea is actually not lower than that of Zui Chunfeng because it contains a lot of butter, or even more.
What does it mean that Jinshi likes to get drunk in the spring breeze? Does it mean that he is Han?
Thinking of this, Laga felt a little uncomfortable.
But the Jinshi did have a far-reaching vision. After all, he had an extraordinary origin. It was said that he was a Jinshi of the already subjugated Jin Kingdom.
Thinking of this, Lajia forced herself to endure her unhappiness and signaled her servant to get drunk.
Watching Jin Shi leisurely drinking the drunk spring breeze, La Jia suddenly thought of Jin Shi's reminder just now, and then asked: "Zi Wen (Jin Shi Zi), what will Jia Luo do? Won't he engulf Zhaojiazhuang?"
"My lord, you are in danger, haven't you thought of a way out?" Jinshi put down his tea cup and bowed his hand to La Jia.
It was so unsatisfactory that Lajia glanced at Jinshi with dissatisfaction.
Lajia said coldly: "I also have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and I am a great nobleman and a political governor. My strength is not far behind that of Jialuo. Are we still afraid of him?"
"Lord, if Jialuo really captures Qingtang City, with his prestige and the Crystal Bodhisattva in hand, will he take the opportunity to unify Qingtang and Tubo?" Jinshi bowed his hand and made another concession. A question that Raga had never thought about.
Lajia shook his head and said disdainfully: "The whole of Tubo is torn apart. Qingtang Tubo is only unified in name, but in fact it is also torn apart. Zanpu does not have this ability, and Jialuo has no ability."
"Lord, have you ever thought about it? In the past, Jialuo was powerless even if he thought about it. But if he really defeats Zhaojiazhuang and his prestige is greatly improved, will he take advantage of the situation?" Jinshi did not have Lajia. Angry at the objection, analyze further.
Hearing this, Lajia couldn't help but get up from the table and walked a few steps around the table.
Lajia thought for a while, then sat down and looked at Jinshi and asked: "Even if he wants to unify, it is impossible. There is a mountain in front of him that cannot be moved, and that is Zamp. Although Zamp is less than one year old, he is still Zanpu. Does Tubo listen to him, or to Zanpu?"
"My lord, Zanpu was originally a puppet. I wonder if my lord has read the history of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms. Back then, the prime minister Cao Cao used the emperor as a puppet to achieve the purpose of coercing the emperor to order the princes." Jinshi quoted from scriptures and talked eloquently.
Lajia shook his head, still unable to believe what Jinshi said: "Although Zamp is a puppet, there are still us nobles. Besides, my strength is not much weaker. With the support of us nobles, I should be as good as before." The situation is pretty much the same.”
"My lord, you are the only big noble who can compete with Jialuo, so you are the first one he will deal with." Jinshi bowed his hands and said patiently, "As long as we take down the strongest lord, which other noble will If you dare not listen to him, Qingtang will be basically unified."
Hearing this, Raga stood up from his seat again.
"My lord, the situation of the Three Kingdoms at that time was similar to yours now. There were two heroes in the north of the Han people, and there are two heroes in Qingtang today. One of the two heroes in the north was Cao Cao, and the other was Yuan Shao. As a result, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao and soon unified the north." Lajia hasn't made up her mind yet, and Jinshi continues to persuade.
La Jia thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "He wants to unify Qingtang, isn't he afraid that we nobles will unite to deal with him?"
"Lord, if he promises some benefits to a few nobles, will those nobles be tempted?" Jinshi shook his head and answered with a bow.
"Ziwen, it seems that what you said is indeed reasonable. So tell me, what should I do?" Lajia was finally convinced and sat down and asked.
Jinshi saw that Lajia was convinced by him, and Jinshi had a smile on his face.
He bowed to La Jia and said decisively: "My lord, take advantage of this attack on Qingtang City to weaken Jia Luo as much as possible."
"Ziwen, you are indeed good. Thank you for the reminder. It seems that you like Zui Chunfeng. There is a box here. Why not take it back to refresh yourself." Lajia winked at the servant and motioned for the servant to take the Zui Chunfeng tea leaves. Take it out.
When Jinshi saw the servant giving him the opened Zui Chunfeng tea box, he secretly cursed Jia Luo for being too stingy.
Lajia looked at everything in front of him while recalling the conversation with Jinshi.
Jialuo was surrounded by Lajia, Dual-wielding Jamba, Chilie and others, looking at the Qingtang City wall in the distance with satisfaction.
Chi Lie laughed loudly: "What is the concept of a hundred thousand troops? Even if a horse whip is thrown against the wall, it will flood the city wall."
"I have seen the Han people on the city wall trembling." Qiang Jiuye looked at the city wall and said contemptuously.
Cuoso glanced at the city wall with disdain and said with pride: "Did you hear that? The Han people on the wall were so frightened that they banged their teeth up and down."
Lajia also laughed wildly: "This is the first time that a hundred thousand troops have attacked Qingtang. Since the Han people in the city are dead, it is worth it."
Dual-wielding Qiangba thought for a moment and clasped his hands together: "They must have been scared out of their wits when they saw an army of one hundred thousand."
"Send an order to ask the Han people in the city to surrender, which will give them a way to survive." Jialuo laughed and ordered one of his men.
The guard named Ji Matsu agreed and ran towards the city as soon as he put his horse under his belly.
There were many cavalry in front of him. Facing the cavalry in front of him, Cisong could always find a gap and pass through the middle.
La Jia, Chi Lie and others looked at each other and couldn't help but frown. Jia Luo was indeed a strong general with no weak soldiers.
Tsosuo took a look at the battlefield situation on both sides and asked quietly in confusion: "The Dharma King was not so angry that he vomited blood because of the Han people in the city. Why didn't he declare an attack?"
"The Dharma King wished to kill all the Han people in the city, but he was even more greedy for the wealth of the Han people in the city." Qiangjiu thought for a while and replied thoughtfully.
Cuosuo's eyes widened and he asked with confusion: "How much wealth is there in Zhaojiazhuang that can make the king care about it?"
"I only know that Zhaojiazhuang is as rich as the country. I don't know how rich it is." Qiangjiu shook his head, looked at Lajia and asked, "Laga, you are a governor participating in politics, of course you know."
"Zhaojiazhuang is as rich as the country, and the Dharma King has no supplies or weapons. It can be said that as long as the Dharma King takes Zhaojiazhuang, unifying Tibet will not be a problem." Lajia looked at Jia Luo, then inspected these nobles, and said quietly at this time.
Laga's ability to become a politically engaged governor is actually not weak.
But Jia Luo was not only a khenpo, a dharma king, a recluse and a monk, but also the right prime minister. He was also a great nobleman, superior to him in every aspect.
Lajia has always been at odds with Jialuo, and should keep a distance from Jialuo from the beginning.
But after listening to Jinshi's advice, he gained a deeper understanding of Jialuo.
When the other people heard this, they all couldn't help but be stunned.
Cuoso's face was pale and his body was trembling a little: "I originally thought it was to expel the Han people, but I didn't expect that Jia Luo had other plans."
"The Dharma King already has the Crystal Bodhisattva. If he takes Zhaojiazhuang now, he will not only have great righteousness, but also have strength." When Chi Lie heard this, his expression was extremely complicated.
Qiangjiu frowned and said in a bad tone: "Now it seems that we are being used. The King of Dharma drives away the Han people, but he actually has huge ambitions. What should we do?"
"What should we do?" Chi Lie said loudly, "If we take Zhaojiazhuang, everyone will have a share."
He said this loudly so that everyone present could hear it.
Jialuo didn't expect that before they captured Qingtang City, these people were already planning to carve up Zhaojiazhuang.
He did originally have the idea of monopolizing Zhaojiazhuang, but now it seems obviously unrealistic.
"Of course, take Qingtang City and carve up Zhaojiazhuang." Jialuo had no choice but to agree in public.
As for how to divide it, he did not say.
By then, as long as Qingtang City is captured and Zhaojiazhuang is captured, it will not be based on strength, Jialuo thought in his heart.
Hearing that Jialuo opened his mouth, the other nobles breathed a sigh of relief.
Since there is going to be a war, no one is willing to do it without spoils.
Lajia suddenly said at this time: "I heard that there is more than one Zhaojiazhuang, and there are many workshops."
"Yes, yes, yes, we nobles, after we capture Qingtang City, each of us should be assigned a workshop." Chi Lie said loudly.
When Jialuo heard this, he was secretly angry.
But he knew that the attack had not started yet, so he could not fall out and had no choice but to agree.
In fact, he had already made a note of Lajia's name in his mind. If he captured Qingtang City, he would definitely deal with Chi Lie.
Although he was dissatisfied with Chi Lie, he did not forget Xu Xing's strategy. He captured Qingtang City, stabilized other nobles, defeated Lajia first, and then dealt with other nobles one by one.
When La Jia heard that Jia Luo actually agreed, he couldn't help but feel strange and secretly looked at Jia Luo.
He looked carefully at Jialuo's expression and found that his eyes were full of anger, as if they were about to burn.
La Jia couldn't help but be surprised, this Jia Luo has become so gloomy now.
Although he was furious in his heart, his expression was extremely calm.
Although Jialuo and Raja Chilie fought openly and covertly, some people never participated at all.
This person was none other than Cisong who went to persuade him to surrender.
This man from Cisong received the order and came to the city just for a cup of tea.
I have to admit that Tsusumatsu's equestrian skills are extremely superb.
He came to a place about three feet away from the city wall, pulled the reins of his horse, and the war horse immediately came in.
After the performance, the war horse suddenly stopped here, and the war horse almost stood still.
Cisong admired his equestrian skills very much, with a very happy expression on his face.
He made the shape of a trumpet with his hands and shouted loudly towards Qingtang City: "Listen to the Han people in the city. As long as you don't worry about your weapons, the Dharma King promises to give you a way to survive."
