After making up his mind, Zanpu personally brought his servants to the "Tiger Garden" outside the Red Palace, took out the red book used for the "Da Material Collection", and then held a general meeting between the king and the minister of the Western Fan in Chamatang, located in the Hequ area of ​​the Gyeonggi River in advance, and it was also a mobilization for the Tang army in Victoria before the general attack.

Zanpu's bird messengers, like a flock of birds with spreading their wings, soon covered the plateaus of the four sides of the city, bringing Zanpu's instructions to the nobles of the Western Fan: bring your slaves, children, war horses and military weapons to Chamatang, and receive the materials and readings of the god Zanpu!

The alliance between Zamp and the nobles is usually a small meeting once a year and a three-year meeting, and is held in summer or winter. It has three main functions: one is that the monarch and ministers consolidate their relationship through banquets, hunting, oathing and other behaviors; the second is that Zamp can hold red wooden slips to verify the labor and military service status of all "Ruben" and "Dongdai", and verify the land tax; the third is the general mobilization in front of the station.

Since the Battle of Huating, Zamp rarely held such alliances. It is probably because the war is mainly responsible for the "moral theory" of the border areas, and the plateaus are rarely affected by the war.

However, just two or three years later, with the magnificent counterattack of the Tang army, the clouds of war were quickly pushed back to the plateau, and the feeling of storms was about to come enveloped the hearts of every Western Fan noble.

In Chamatang, countless colorful banners fluttered under the vast sky, and the horns of hunting were extremely loud. Many Western nobles, holding bows and arrows in groups, galloping to hunt yaks covered in blood and fleeing. Their "protection" and "yong" guarded in groups on all sides of their "Fulu".

This kind of Fulu is the residence of the Western Fan people. Although most of the conquerors in Helong land use palaces to exercise their power, it is equivalent to the Han government offices; on the plateau, countless Fulu made of cowhide and sheepskin are still the mainstream: Fulu is named after the trumpet-like mouth on the dome of the tent.

Hundreds of fulu, like white sand on the river beach, surrounded the tooth tent of the god Zanpu.

Zanpu's teeth tents are not made of wood, but are tied with sharp long spears, which divide the narrow roads. Every other section, there are guards wearing well-dressed armor. At the middle door of the tent, there are three-tone flags, each with a hundred steps apart. Zanpu's head is tied with a morning glow, and a plain lapel long gown, a gold ornament with dragon, dragon, tiger and leopard pattern on the arms and neckline, a gold sword, and a red book. Queen Cai Bang wore a gold silk scarf, a golden long gown with lapels, and served Zanpu's side.

The other concubines, including Zamp's favorite concubine Bo Yong, could only stand in rows.

Under the high platform, the wizards danced wildly and sang: "There is a sun in the sky and the earth is warm, and the elk will grow. The white feathers are fine and the arrowheads are sharp, so they shoot elk and live."

Then, the sound of drums and whimpering horns, Wei, Niang, Wulu, Cai Bang and other nobles on the plateau were kneeling continuously at this moment, holding the wine made of barley in their hands, and the children of the slaves next to them held the armor or sword dedicated to Zanpu. After Zanpu raised his hand, the group of nobles drank the wine, then occupied the ground with their hands, leaned down with their heads, half opened their mouths, and barked the dogs - this was a ritual ceremony for Xifan to pay homage.

Then, the Bon wizard with bird feather crowns, despite the opposition of the Buddhist monks present, killed a man, a cow, a dog, a sheep, and a horse under the altar of the high platform as a sacrifice dedicated to the "wedding banquet" of ancestors and gods.

The monks saw in pain: bull, dog, sheep, horse, and the human and animal, first broke their hands and feet by the wizards, then their abdomen were cut open, and their bleeding intestines were pulled out, and their heads were finally cut off.

But although Zanpu believed in Buddhism, he still followed the Bon rituals when he went out of the army, because the latter could more inspire the primitive and barbaric bravery of the soldiers and the loyalty of his subordinates.

"You must work together to serve Dai Ben Yongzhong. Only the gods and earth know your will. If you betray your oath, you will be slaughtered and your body will be the same as this." Zampo on the high platform said.

"We will never abandon Zanpu, and we will never let Zanpu be embarrassed. We must forget the past, absolutely obey Zanpu's orders, and absolutely devote ourselves to Zanpu, and never be deceived by others' good words. We have such a vow!" Under the high platform, groups of nobles were crawling on the ground and reading the oath loudly.

After the oath was completed, Zanpu said that the purpose of this conference was to send out the soldiers of the Wuruben, a total of 61 Dongdai, and fight against Gao Yue, the Tang army at the foot of Pengpo Xueshan.

Which five Juben?

There are nine Dongdai, a "Weiru" with the Gyeonggi River (Lhasa River) as the core;

"Yoru" with Yalong Changzhu (now Shannan, Linzhi) on the south side of Luss, a total of nine Dongdai;

There are nine Dongdai, a "Ye Ru" with Xiangdi Xiongba Garden (now Xiangquhe area in the northwest of Lhasa) as the core;

There are nine Dongdais, with the "Laru" as the core of the car capital Erbana (now Gatse region);

There are eleven Dongdai, with Jiaxueda Bacai (now Tanggula Mountain in northeastern Lhasa) as the core;

In addition to these five Ru, there are also "Xiang Xiong Ru" with Xiangxiong as the core, with ten Dongdai below, so there are fifty-seven Dongdai.

In addition, Weiru, Yoru, Yeru and Laru each have one Dongdai, forming the "Imperial Guards Dongdai" on the east, north, west and south sides of Zanpu. This combined together will bring the military strength of sixty-one Dongdai.

One of the Imperial Guards stayed with Zanpu's side, and the other was just recaptured from Shang Jiezan and was on the way back. The Zanpu Alliance needs to collect information from all the non-Imperial Guards Dongdai in the country's Liurubenli.

It is also worth mentioning that among the six Dongdae in Ruben, there is also a "Xiaodongdae" (Xiaoqianhu), the commander is called "Dongmoto". This Xiaodongdae is all elite infantry, and it cooperates with other Dongdae cavalry during wartime.

Zamp then asked that each Ruben would draw four Dongdai to fight at this time, and gathered twenty-four Dongdai, so that more than 7,000 "Gui" and Tie Chuan warriors started, plus 15,000 archers and supporters. In addition, when each noble or warrior went on a war, there were several armed "Yong" around him, who were responsible for camping, logistics and light infantry, but in fact, they were 100,000 people.

In addition, Dongdai, the imperial guards in northeast and southwest of Zanpu, had a total of 30,000 people.

There are also Qinghai, Bailan's Dangxiang and other Qianghu vassals, as well as Qinghai and the "Tongche" of the host, which is a 160,000 army, which is really a battle of the whole country.
