Eventually, Zampu summoned the herald of his tooth tent and made a new deployment.

Soon, Shang Jiezan came to Zampu's palace and listened to Zampu's appointment and dispatch: "Shang Qixin'er's previous suggestion Ben Yongzhong thinks it is also reasonable, the Tang army is now crossing Longshan, and the soldiers are honest, so you might as well avoid the real and attack the false, let Shang Qixin'er take the initiative to give up Cheng and Qin, and shrink the army to hold the line of Shanzhou and Taozhou, which is the gateway of Qinghai and must not be lost." Then Ben Yongzhong gave you 20,000 Dongdai forbidden troops, that is, 100 'small thousand households' (the establishment of 1,000 households in Western Tibet is usually 300 soldiers, and the establishment of the forbidden army is even less, 200 people per 1,000 households), and you take these horses to the north to join Ma Chongying, and find a way to defeat the Uighurs who crossed the Utuchuan River first. ”

Obviously, Zampu's plan was a change from before, and he also thought that it would be difficult to win a frontal battle with Wei Gao and Gao Yue, so he simply contracted and held on to the south and east roads, and then concentrated his forces on attacking from the north to first defeat the combined forces of the Uighurs and the Tang family's northern court protectors.

As long as the Uighurs are defeated, it is equivalent to breaking one wing of the Tang family, and then it is not too late to turn around and concentrate on resisting Gao Yue's offensive.

It's called letting you come as many times as you want, and I'll only go all the way.

"That means a lot of spoil?" Shang Jiezan was very distressed.

Zan Pu sighed, and said to Shang Jiezan I know that you have been operating Longyou for many years in a bleak manner, and you are reluctant to give up that splendid river and mountain, but Helong is a narrow corridor area, even if Gao Yue takes advantage of the situation to occupy the "door" of the corridor, he will not be able to hit the "waist" of the corridor, let alone the "backyard" of the corridor, they will not be able to open up the passage with Anxi Ting, and they will still be stretched. Immediately, Zampu was ruthless and said to Shang Jiezan: "Ben Yongzhong also knows that you are a little tricky with Gao Yue (Zampu's words are very tactful, the real meaning is that you have been defeated by Gao Yue's men many times), but the Uighurs are by no means an opponent of you and Ma Chongying. Now there are not many people who can command tens of thousands of people to fight, hope is in you, if the strength is not caught, Ben Yongzhong will personally supervise the remaining 10,000 forbidden troops to support you. As for Longyou's side, Ben Yongzhong will let Shang Qi'er burn down all the fields, manors, and prefectures and counties in the eastern states, leaving no half of the Tang family! ”

When he said this, Shang Jiezan's face was solemn, and he immediately saluted with his hands, indicating that he would completely obey Zampu's dispatch and would live up to the country's grace, only after death.

When Shang Jiezan received the order, hurried back to his mansion, and asked the old servant Soma to prepare the horse, Soma knelt in front of his master, and said, "Has the master forgotten the hatred of your eldest son?"

"No, I can't forget." Shang Jiezan gritted his teeth, "On the contrary, I want to take the opportunity of re-unifying the army this time to wait for the opportunity to get rid of Shang Qi'er and Recklessness." ”

"How to get rid of it?"

Shang Jiezan sneered and replied to Soma: "I and Ma Chongying will go to kill the Hui Hu to make meritorious service, and then no matter whether Gao Yue can break through Shanzhou or not, Shang Qixin'er will definitely not be able to get reinforcements, and he will not be able to hold Chengzhou, Qinzhou, and even Weizhou, and when Gao Yue occupies these states and suspends the offensive, I will have Shang Qixin'er impeached and convicted of 'abandoning the land', killing him, and letting the Cai Bang family lose their arms; ”

Wu Ren, the second son of Shang Jiezan, heard this, and Wu Ren was shocked, so he advised his father: "Although Shang Qixin'er and Lun Mangre have a blood feud with my Na Xi clan, the former guards Shanzhou, and the latter guards Victoria Sanssouci City, both of which are the lifelines of my Dafan. ”

"Wu Ren, you are like a woman, don't forget how your brother died in humiliation in Taideng City, now the power of this Great Fan must rely on my Na Xi clan to preserve, and whoever stands in the way of the chariots and horses of the Na Xi clan must be crushed." Now Shang Jiezan has begun to put the interests of the family above the kingdom of Xifan, his heart has become as cold as iron because of the death of his beloved son, and the words promised to Zampu before are just his hypocrisy and wrongdoing, the real purpose is to take charge of the army, and then seize power.

After finishing speaking, Shang Jiezan asked Wu Ren to follow him on the expedition, "There are 300,000 slaves in my Hu clan's fiefdom, and I will draw one out of ten, and mobilize 30,000 as 'Yong' to provide assistance and logistics for my army going north." ”

Wu Ren had no choice but to agree.

In the palace of Zampu, Queen Cai Bang cried and bowed to Zampu's knees, kissing his boots with tears and rain, "My foolish husband, how can I award two-thirds of the forbidden army of the entire plateau to Shang Jiezan, who harbors evil intentions!" His Sha clan will use this to become the second Karma clan, disturb the whole world, and covet your throne. ”

In this regard, Zampu explained: "Although Shang Jiezan's army is slightly inferior to Gao Yue and Wei Gao of the Tang family, it is enough to be comparable to Hun Xuan, Ma Sui, and Li Sheng, so it is only fitting for him to deal with the Uighurs." ”

"O god Zampu, you have given Shang Jiezan the sharpest sword to kill your enemies, but I fear that in the end the blade will be turned upside down and pointed at your chest, and do not forget how his beloved eldest son, Bezang Shasha, died. The current Shang Jiezan is different from the past, he hates recklessness, hates my family, and may even hate you, great Zampu. ”

Listening to the queen's words, Zampu hesitated and wavered, but it was not good to temporarily remove Shang Jiezan.

At this moment, Shang Jiezan has been ordered.

Moreover, there was no more suitable commander in the whole territory.

At this time, Queen Cai Bang said, Zampu, you also have a son who lives in the world, Mu Ru, he has been in charge of the forbidden army for you before, let him also follow the army, and monitor Shang Jiezan for you, how about it?

Zamp nodded, indicating that it would be fine.

Soon under the city, 20,000 majestic Zampu forbidden troops, all dressed in heavy armor, armed with sophisticated weapons and gorgeous battle flags, set off in a mighty manner. Behind them, there were 30,000 serfs privately mobilized by the Na Xi clan, dressed in rags, driving livestock and pushing vehicles for the army.

When the camp was pulled, Shang Jiezan said to his second son Wu Ren next to him: "During the battle, you will guard my camp tent, select five hundred strong and loyal ones from the slaves, give them weapons, and protect you, if the prince of Mu Ru dares to make any rash moves, you can kill him!" ”

Wu Ren agreed, but he was very uneasy in his heart.

And the prince of Muni wore silver armor, a golden helmet, and an embroidered robe, and rode on a black horse, accompanying the army, and he was also admonished by his mother before going on the expedition: "You are the third son of Zampu, but now your eldest brother has died, the second brother has entered Samye Monastery, and the fourth brother has entered Shanzhou Zen Monastery, and you will be the rightful heir of Zampu in the future. Then you have to kill the foxy concubine Boyong and her lowly son, and then kill your second and fourth brothers, and you will become the most powerful man on this plateau - remember, the iron ruler does not need relatives and friends, nor does he believe in any morals and precepts, he only needs power and servants, and he will do whatever it takes to do so. ”
