16. Zamp robbery alliance

"Manjushri Bodhisattva, with both arms, the treasure face is white and solemn. He holds the sword of wisdom and rides a lion. He will enter the city of Lusaka where the god Zanpu you live in the future." Mahayana predicted Chisong Dezan with great certainty.

Now Zanpu was immediately immersed in the happiness of being able to welcome the Bodhisattva.

Padmasambhava immediately clasped her hands, sighed, and advised Zampo: "God, look at the clear sky on the plateau, as pure as your nature in the past dynasties. And virtue is like the white clouds in the sky, and the filthy behavior of the robbery is like the dark clouds in the sky. Do not let the dark clouds exceed the white clouds, otherwise it will bring disasters of thunder, lightning and floods."

Zampo has always been full of awe of Padmasambhava, and at this time he was a little hesitant, and then he said that when he heard the Master say this, I hesitated.

In the Qionglu where the matter was discussed, the great discourses such as Shang Jiezan, Ma Chongying, etc. of Xifan were all unhappy and turned their eyes to Mahayana monk Mahayana.

Shang Jiezan always believed in Buddhism. Ma Chongying was the first to oppose Buddhism, and later began to believe it under Zanpu's persuasion. But what is interesting is that Shang Jiezan is in Shanzhou most of the time, while Ma Chongying is in Hexi. The local Buddhist temples are mainly Zen Buddhism of Han monks. Because of the convenience of cultivation, Shang Jiezan gradually made Shang Jiezan. Ma Chongying began to get tired of the cumbersome scriptures of the Indian Buddhist system on the plateau. Under their influence, a considerable number of Western-Japanese nobles began to practice Zen Buddhism. This Mahayana was Shang Jiezan, and Ma Chongying wrote a letter to Zanpu.

Therefore, at this time, the Buddhist power of Xifan had secretly differentiated: the plateau area of ​​Xifan headquarters was dominated by Buddhist temples from India and Nipola (Nepal), and its stronghold was located in Samye Monastery; while the newly occupied areas such as Hexi and Longyou were dominated by Zen Buddhist temples in Han areas. Both sides received support from a group of Xifan nobles, and the Bon religion, which still existed, began to fight openly and secretly.

Sure enough, Mahayana immediately refuted Padmasambhava and said, "Master is wrong. Whether it is white clouds or dark clouds, they are all clouds that cover the sky. The corresponding good karma or bad karma has not been liberated from the samsara, and they are also obstacles to becoming a Buddha. In order to save the Dharma-Ending Age, how can you stick to the white clouds and dark clouds!"

As soon as this was said, the powerful Padmasambhava was speechless.

At this moment, Shang Jiezan and Ma Chongying took over. Among them, Shang Jiezan said to Zanpu: "It is absolutely impossible to return the state to the Tang people. Once the Tang people occupy Huizhou, there will be a springboard to go deep into Hexi. Therefore, the real peace of the Tang Dynasty and Tibet does not exist at all. Only by taking advantage of this opportunity to rob the alliance is a one-time and for all. I have always guarded the host road and knew that the generals and talents of the Tang family were only Ma Sui, Li Sheng, Hun Yu and Duan Xiushi. Now Li Sheng has lost his military power, Duan Xiushi has returned to the capital without any responsibilities, and the servant Ma Sui and the Shizhong Hun Yu have all come to participate in this Xiji League. Our great Fan can cover 30,000 elite troops in the mountains. When the alliance is halfway through, capture Ma Sui and Hun Yu, the Tang family will completely collapse!"

Chisong Dezan replied: "Ma Sui and Hun Yu are both respected warriors of the Tang family, so they should not harm their lives."

Shang Jiezan smiled, "This theory will never kill these two people, but use them as bargaining chips to force the Emperor of the Tang family to give up his request for Huizhou. After letting these two people go back, the Emperor of the Tang family will definitely suspicious. If Ma Sui is like this, Hun Yu will lose his military power."

"Dear uncle, are there only these four heroes in the Tang family?"

Facing Zanpu's sudden question, Shang Jiezan and Ma Chongying were immediately embarrassed, but they could not see it in the bright sunshine of Shanzhou, because the great nobles present painted their faces in ochre red.

Shang Jiezan had Gootouyuan and Ma Chongying had Anlechuan. They had both seen the strange black and white Pixiu battle flag, but what made them even more ashamed was that although they were defeated, they didn’t know why the owner of the military flag was?

Of course, judging from Shang Jiezan and Ma Chongying's qualifications, these two people only admitted that "there were minor ups and downs for various reasons" in front of this battle flag, and it was impossible for them to openly admit their disastrous defeat.

Especially at this moment, you must not lose your ambition.

"Ma, Hun, Duan, Li Si will be eliminated, and I will be able to drive straight into the realm of no one." The two of them promised, and their tone was very arrogant, "The rest of the Tang family's commanders are all vulgar people."

Among them, Ma Chongying also pulled out the whip with gold from his belt, pointed to the sand table of the map and said: "After the alliance, Dafan must be under heavy troops, like Chongshan crushing eggs, completely defeating the defense line of the Tang people in Wuyuan, Liupan Mountain, Longshan and even the west mountain of Jiannan. The continuous mountain range of this defense line is like the backbone of a man. The hammer of my Dafan warrior smashed it and smashed it, and the Tang family was paralyzed like mud and could never stand up again! At that time, not only would Chang'an City return to my Dafan territory, but Manjushri Bodhisattva in Mount Wutai would also be welcomed into Zanpu's Red Palace."

Under such lobbying, Chisong Dezan, as the largest slave owner in Xifan, was of course moved and finally agreed to the proposal of robbing the alliance and advancing (this is determined by his class nature):

Benzanpu handed over all the guards Dong Dai to Shang Jiezan, and captured Ma Sui and Hun Yu in Xiji;

The 25,000 border troops on the east side were handed over to the deputy general Lu Xuli of Shang Jiezan to directly attack Linyuan, Longzhou, destroy the new city built by the Tang people here, and then remove Huating, Yinyang, Nanyou and other Tang families in Longzhou. The goal was to force Fengxiang's Tang soldiers back to Fengshan and Fengxiang Mansion in Qishan. Zanpu specially ordered that after occupying the various places in Longzhou, he would "pocket all the local Tang people and soldiers, kill those who did not follow, take away all the livestock, burn all the houses, and destroy all the cities" to maximize the war potential of the Tang army;

Ma Chongying, the North Dadao Dalu Ma, after collecting the materials, he will join 30,000 elite troops. Benzanpu will add some of the imperial guards Dongdai, cross the Yellow River, and destroy them again when the Tang Dynasty Yanzhou New City was not completed. "Bzanpu can't wait to see what kind of expression the Emperor of the Tang family will look like after Yanzhou City was smashed by your sword front for the third time." Then he encouraged Dangxiang Fanluo on all sides of Baiyu Mountain to choose from among them to choose a leader who can command the overall situation and give the title of "Zanpu Zhong" (meaning Zanpu's younger brother) to this person, so that he can unite the power of Dangxiang with the support of Dafan and fight against the Tang family for a long time;

The great discussions of Jiannan Road were resentful, and the great discussions of Qinghai Road were afraid of waves. They gathered 50,000 soldiers and ordered the barbarians of the eight kingdoms of Xishan, which intersected with Dafan and Tang Xichuan, and the Qiang and Hu tribes sent 20,000 servants, and asked the "Zanpu Zhong" of Nanzhao, King Yimuxun to send 30,000 troops, a total of 100,000 troops to attack the capital of Shu in Xichuan. "The governor here was Wei Gao, and he had very little experience. Everyone said that he was just a jester of the Emperor of the Tang family, and he obtained this high position with favor." The goal was to capture the capital of Shu in one fell swoop and defeat the power of the Tang family in Sanchuan.

Finally, Zamp also issued a new strategy: "When this battle, when conquering the city and land, one male from every three households was drawn from the Han people in Helong and Han, and his parents, wife and children were taken hostages in palaces in various states, and they were driven in front of them during the battle, either climbing the city walls or filling in gullies. My Dafan soldiers followed him and he should be invincible."
