Li Qing's 30,000 army has not moved since it arrived at the land of Xizhi, and the 30,000 army has been staying here, and at the same time, Lawang Maozan sent his cronies back to Tubo to contact his own people, in fact, they don't know anything about the Tubo Empire, including Li Liangzuo, basically don't know anything about Tubo.
Since the collapse of the Tibetan Dynasty, Buddhism in Tibet was revived again, in this more than 300 years, the aristocratic political group and religious forces in Tibet combined, forming five factions in Tibet: Kadan faction, Kagyu faction, Sasgar faction, Bomu Guru faction, Babali faction, etc., they divided one side and attacked each other, making the local people miserable, and most of the people have become slaves of monasteries and nobles.
Lawang Maozan is a branch of the Bomu Guru faction in Tibet, and his cronies met the big leader of the Bomu Guru faction after arriving in Tibet, Saban, who got the news, was shocked, if the Xia army really entered Tibet, even if the five major factions of Tubo were united, it would not make the opponent of the Xia army, although the news of Tubo was relatively closed, but the Xia army's achievements and Li Liangzuo's ferocity were still heard.
A young man hurriedly walked to Saban's residence, this young man was Saban's nephew Pas-pa, who had been extremely intelligent and well-known in Tibet since he was a child, and Pas-pa walked up to Saban and said, "Uncle, I have heard about it. ” "What do you think about this?"
Saban asked Paspa.
"It is inevitable that the Xia army will enter Tibet, and according to the news sent back by Lawang Maozan, the conditions given by the Xia army are very generous, except for the nominal submission to the Great Xia Empire, the rest are basically the same as before, at most they only pay part of the taxes."
"You mean to agree with the Xia army to enter Tibet" "Not only agree, but also to assist the Xia army in Tibet."
Saban frowned and said, "This is clearer. ” "Since the Xia army's entry into Tibet is unavoidable, then we will simply help them come in, and with the help of Li Liangzuo of the Xia army, eradicate other factions, with the support of the Great Xia Empire, isn't it easy for my uncle to unify Tibet?"
said to Saban.
"It makes sense, since this is the case, then Zanpu will send people to welcome the Xia army into Tibet."
"No, uncle, in order to show our sincerity, my nephew thought that you and my uncle and nephew should go to greet us in person, and discuss with Xia Jun about entering Tibet."
Saban thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you and I will set off today to try to complete this matter as soon as possible." ” The next day, Saban and Ba Si Pa set off for the land of Xizhi, the reason why they were in such a hurry to set off was nothing more than the fear of being preempted by other factions, and at the same time, the Sasgar faction and the Bali faction also sent envoys, and even Li Liangzuo and Li Qing did not expect that this time the matter of entering Tibet would be so smooth, of course, these are all later words.
The Xia army has been staying in the land of Xizhi for more than half a month, on this day Li Qing finally waited for the result he wanted, when Saban and Ba Si Pa arrived, Li Qing did not go to greet him in person, but only sent the veterans Hua Ma and Mu Zheng to meet them, after all, now the Xia army has the upper hand, there is no need to beg them for nothing.
The next day, Li Qing met with Saban and Pasipa at the General's Mansion in Xizhi City, and when they came in, they saluted Li Qing and said, "See the big marshal." ” "The two of you have worked hard from afar, please take a seat," Li Qing said very politely.
"Thank you, Sir."
"Ben Shuai doesn't like to grind, if you have anything to say, let's go straight to the point, in addition to you, Ben Shuai has already received the intention of other Tubo factions willing to cooperate, Ben Shuai's conditions should already be known to you, I don't know what you think" Li Qing asked the two.
"We are willing to assist the marshal to enter Tibet."
Saban said to Li Qing; "Our ministry is willing to submit to the Great Xia Empire."
Things went very smoothly, but Li Qing was not very relieved, because this matter was going too smoothly, the art of war cloud without a fight and the soldiers who surrendered, the good people also, so the army to plan, the second to attack the enemy, the second to attack the army, and the next to attack the city.
Although what he said is true, how many people can really be able to surrender without a fight, but such a thing happened at this time, and with the special situation of Li Qing, he had to be cautious.
After Saban and Ba Si Pa left, Li Qing was thinking about a complete plan alone, since the opportunity had come, of course Li Qing was unwilling to give up, after careful consideration, Li Qing picked up the pen and wrote a letter to Li Liangzuo and said: "The son Li Qing worships his father and the emperor, and now the Tibetan envoy has arrived in Xizhi City, and the leader of the Tubo Bomu Guru faction, Saban, is willing to lead his troops to surrender, and the son thinks that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but he still has doubts in his heart, I am afraid that it is the strategy of the Tubo army to lure the enemy, Therefore, the sons specially asked the emperor to send troops to the city of Xizhi to support the sons and daughters."
"Sixth brother, I really convinced you, how did you do it, this Tubo man actually took the initiative to surrender."
Li Xing ran to Li Qing's side excitedly and said.
"What do you think about this?"
"Of course it's a good thing, you can enter Tibet without a single soldier, this is simply pie in the sky."
"I'm afraid it's not as simple as you think."
Li Qing said meaningfully; "Our army is only 30,000, once we enter Tibet, it is equivalent to a lone army going deep, in case of being besieged by the enemy, there is no food and grass inside, there is no rescue outside, have you thought about what to do in case of this situation?"
"Since these six brothers have already chosen to surrender, they shouldn't do it," Li Xing said.
"Soldiers are not tired of deceit, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if this situation really happens, if you deal with it as a commander, you must think of all the possibilities" "My brother has been taught."
"Order the army to start tomorrow, let Rawang Maozan's army be the vanguard, you and General Hua Ma and Mu Zheng will lead an army of 20,000 to the rear of the palace, and your brother will lead an army of 10,000 as the vanguard."
"Big brother, you are the commander of the army, how can you lead the troops in front, this is not in accordance with the rules; I'm the striker, so I'm supposed to go. ” "You kid knows a fart," Li Qing said angrily; "I also know that this commander is the commander of an army, remember that as a soldier, you must be obedient, you are not my brother now, but my subordinate."
Faced with Li Qing's anger, Li Xing was speechless and could only leave with resentment; The reason why Li Qing wants to lead the troops in front and let Li Xing follow is actually to love Li Xing, after all, the risks ahead are unpredictable, Li Qing doesn't want his younger brother to take risks, but it is obvious that Li Qing's kindness made Li Xing misunderstand, in Li Xing's opinion, this is his brother competing with him.
A few days later, Li Liangzuo received Li Qing's request for help, and Li Liangzuo agreed very much with Li Qing's calm analysis, Li Liangzuo found that his son was a natural military wizard, Li Liangzuo immediately met Li Qing's request, and sent 30,000 troops to Xizhi City again, ready to enter Tubo at any time to support the battle.
The second is to continue to ask for support:
