9. Moral Theory of Great Material Collection
"The Tang family is destroying itself!" After Shang Jiezan heard the news that the general of the Changwu Army "surrendered to Cheng" and betrayed the Tang Army to build a city in Pingliang, he was as excited as Wei Gao.
When the Tang family sent envoys to negotiate peace before, he had a fierce opposition to this, "At the beginning, we should have taken advantage of the internal strife of the Tang family to gather all the Tongqi of the east and northeast provinces in one go, and completely seize all the Tang military states west of Chang'an City." ”
Sure enough, the Tang family, which had just recovered its vitality, actually wanted to gather people and horses to seize the land of Helong.
"Tang Tianzi of Chang'an, who is the general you rely on?" Shang Jiezan seemed to be deliberately asking the Han ministers next to him, Xu Sheren and Che Kuiyuan.
"In the past, it was Guo Ziyi, but today Guo is dead, and there is no one in the Tang family." Xu Sheren, as a famous Han Chinese, has the pleasure of crushing the Tang family in Xifan, and he is even more than Shang Jiezan.
And Che Kuiyuan immediately agreed.
In fact, even Shang Jiezan would not believe this, he raised a few fingers and said one by one: "One is named Li Sheng, who is now serving as an envoy in Xichuan, and I am afraid that he will not be able to take care of the battlefield in Longshan; One is named Ma Sui, who is serving as an envoy to the east of the river, and it is difficult for us to fight for a while; He will be used by the Tang Family's Heavenly Son as a reserve force; One is named Hun Xuan, who is Guo Ziyi's most loyal and reliable subordinate, and is also the most trusted by the Tang family, and is now guarding the river; There is also Duan Xiushi, who was originally the Sima official of Tang Jiajing's original festival envoy Ma Lan, but when he took over Ma Lan's festival, he became an even more terrible opponent. ”
After saying this, all the officials and generals present in the Western Tibet were silent.
But then Shang Jiezan laughed, "I have a strategy to get rid of these four one by one, as long as these four are gone, there will be no one in the Tang family." After saying this, he commanded Soma, the warrior of the guard, beside him:
"Soma, I'll give you four of the best horses, and go to the city of Les quickly! There, the despicable envoys of the Tang family must still be chattering in front of the god Zampu, selling their complicated tongues and tricks, and by the way, spying on the inside story of my Dafan. So Soma, when you go to the great Samye Monastery that has just been completed, you see the god Zangpu, and in addition to telling him what the Tang people can despise, ask the god Zangpu for a boot. ”
"Boots?" Soma was a little curious.
Shang Jiezan pointed to the far east, "Yes, Zampu's boots, I will hang them in front of the palace of the Tang family's Son of Heaven with my own hands, and after that, the Tang family's Son of Heaven or ministers will have to grovel under Zampu's boots, and they will all become Zampu's slaves!" ”
"Hahaha!" All the Western generals, bureaucrats, and warriors present erupted in heroic laughter in unison.
Then Shang Jiezan issued an order for the "Great Material Collection".
The so-called big material collection is that all the states and counties in Longyou immediately urgently gathered all the war preparation materials, and also gathered all the soldiers of the five major Tongxiang Wanhu districts, all gathered in front of Shang Jiezan's camp, and then rushed to Tianshui City, the frontier fortress of Qinzhou.
The "Great Minister of the Eastern Army" in the Western Tibetan Frontier - the "Virtue Theory Region" (after the fall of Hexi and Longyou in the Tang Dynasty, Xifan carried out a huge scale of immigration in an attempt to occupy this area, and established the "Eastern Morality" Region here, with a total of 50,000 households under it) - "Tongcheek 10,000 households" - "Tongcheek 1,000 households" system, the integration of the military and the people, and the speed of mobilization was very amazing.
At this time, although Shang Jiezan and the people around him spoke all in Western Tibetan language, there were two strong men in the Han people who had not yet dispersed after the case was just decided, and they could understand Western Tibetan language, which did not seem to be particularly clear, but they could also know the general content of Shang Jiezan's wild words, "It's too rampant!" One of the black-faced men said indignantly.
At this time, the surrounding Hermes-Epitek Wen Mo cast frightened eyes at him.
"If the Son of Heaven's family and this group of sons go to war again, I will definitely go to Tang Land anyway."
"Don't say it...... Ah Liu was shot to death, and his orphans and widows had a compensation of fifty taels of silver, which is okay. Several Hermes-Epitek Wen Mo spoke in a tone of disgust and fear.
"It's not a matter of compensation, the Tang people and the Xifan people have a lawsuit, and it is our Tang people who were killed, so why should we be judged according to the laws of Tibet?"
"Don't talk too much, when the officials of the Son of Heaven's family came to manage the people in the past, there were no unfair things, and for us Xiaomin, who would sit in the yamen was not the same."
"Hey!" The black-faced man was indignant.
At this time, another white-faced man pressed this person's shoulder, shook his head very calmly, and signaled not to talk nonsense, nor to act rashly, and to act when the time came.
In the Zichen Hall of Daming Palace in Chang'an City, the news of "the old part of the Changwu Army in the river defected to the enemy" has also arrived, and the emperor 100,000 urgently convened the Zaizhi to discuss the matter.
At this time, Xiao Fu, the Chinese scholar, also rushed back.
When Xiao Fu crossed Tongguan and entered Tonghua Erzhou, the assassin history of these two states had not yet been ordered, so he did not dare to open a warehouse to help the victims of the locust plague, Xiao Fu immediately decided, saying that the emperor's envoy was on the way, and we opened a warehouse in advance to release grain, so that it is a merit to save one more people.
Because the Tang law stipulates that the local assassin must obtain an edict from the imperial court before he can open the warehouse for disaster relief, otherwise there will be the crime of "unauthorized release".
After saving the people of Tonghua and Erzhou by the way, Xiao Fu returned to Beijing.
"Your Majesty, the construction of the city should be taken by surprise, but now that the information has been leaked, please call off the battle of Pingliang and the city, reiterate the good of the Tang and Fan families, avoid fighting, and then think about it in the long run, and do not provoke lightly." Naturally, Zhang Yansheng, the servant under the door, will definitely take the opportunity to stop it.
"According to the previous alliance, Yuanzhou Pingliang belongs to my Tang territory, why not build a city here?" Li Shi on the rope bed spoke more toughly.
Zhang Yansheng explained, because there was an agreement between the two sides at the time of the alliance to set aside a "idle field" area, in this area, whether it is my Tang Dynasty or Xifan, it is not allowed to build a city without authorization, so if Xifan builds a city without authorization, there is a grievance in Xifan, but if I Tang build a city without authorization, then I am in Tang, and the two are compared, and it is better to let Xifan be reconciled.
At this moment, Xiao Fu, who was a little angry, asked Zhang Yansheng, "I, Tang Liqu, Xifan will destroy the alliance and enter Kou Jinggi, but what if Xifan Liqu is like this?" ”
Zhang Yansheng was stunned for a moment, and then said that then morality was not on the side of Xifan.
"Then can I, Tang, send troops to recover Helong?" Xiao Fu asked.
Zhang Yansheng was speechless, and said for a long time that if Xifan was requirement, it was inevitable for me Tang to send troops to restore Helong.
Xiao Fu sneered: "In the past, Xifan took advantage of my internal difficulties in Tang to trap dozens of military towns in Anxi, Beiting, Hexi, and Longyou, and became slaves of hundreds of thousands of my soldiers and civilians, what morality is there?" Recovering the old land, this is the biggest truth of my Tang, why not wait for Xiaofan to be resigned! ”
