Chapter 346 Western Sichuan Plateau

There is a grassland in the western Sichuan Plateau called Muya Grassland, where yaks live.

In late July, the grassland was full of Gesang flowers, and a ray of sunshine shone on the top of the snow-capped mountains in the distance, dyeing the snow-capped mountains golden.

This "sunshine golden mountain" scene was extremely gorgeous, but Dejimeduo was already accustomed to it. He walked to the river with the bucket without raising his head to look at it.

She struggled to carry the water back to the bunker and feed the livestock. Her little daughter had already woken up and was following behind her holding a worn wooden spoon to help scoop out the water.

Dejimedo then asked his daughter: "Is your brother feeling better?"

"Much better, I slept soundly."

Dejimedo then clasped his hands together and murmured: "The White Yak God bless my little son."

“Aniang, is it really a white yak?”

"Yes, the incarnation of the White Yak God." Dejimedo said, "The first leader of our tribe is the son of the White Yak God."

"I know, Julesji."

The little girl raised her hands happily, then tilted her head and asked, "Can you tell me the story of Rulayjie?"

"During the seventh generation of Zampu in Tubo, the treacherous minister Luoang Dazi killed Zampu and exiled the princess. The princess wandered on the grassland. After falling asleep, she dreamed of having sex with a handsome man in a white robe. She became pregnant.

At full term, she was chased by traitors and gave birth to a squirming blood clot. She couldn't bear to throw it away. At this moment, a white yak came and dropped its horns."

"Then what?"

"The princess put the blood clots into the horns of the yak and fed them with milk. Later, a boy was born from the horns, named 'Rulaijie', which means born from the horns. When Rulaijie grew up, he got rid of the treacherous minister

Loang Datse calmed down the civil strife."

"Then what?"

"Ru Laijie was the most powerful and wise minister of Tibet. He taught the world how to burn wood to make charcoal, smelt iron, divert water to burn fields, build bridges and pave roads, and the most important farming method of two oxen pulling a bar."

"That's awesome, can I meet him?"

"Silly boy." Dejimedo touched his daughter's head and said: "Ju Laijie lived in the age of the eighth generation of Zampu, and now he is the thirty-sixth generation of Zampu. Think about it, how long was that?

Before?"

"A long time ago, are we the descendants of Juleji?"

Dejimedo said very piously: "The white yak is the manifestation of Yala Xianbo, one of the nine sacred mountains in creation. We are all descendants of the sacred mountain."

"The white yak will protect my brother..."

After feeding the livestock, the mother and daughter went back to the house to eat tsampa noodles.

Dejimedo's husband, named Luo Zhui, is not at home today. He took some items to the White Dog Department in the northeast to do business a few days ago.

Nowadays, Tubo and Tang Dynasty are still at war, and these trades are not allowed. But recently, their youngest son has become ill, and his skin is covered with red spots. They have tried everything possible, but nothing has improved. The couple has not recovered yet.

The people discussed it and decided to take advantage of the current lack of access to merchants to sell the two horses at home and exchange them for tea leaves to give to the great master to treat his son's illness.

They knew that the White Dog Department had always had a good relationship with the Tang people, so Luo Zhui quietly went over there.

That day, Dejimeduo smeared tsampa on his youngest son's face, boiled the highland barley grits into a paste and let him drink it.

"Is anyone there?!" A voice suddenly sounded outside.

"The leader is here."

Dejimedo quickly wiped his hands on his apron and went out to greet them. He saw the leader Zhujie Gonpo leading many people standing outside.

"Why doesn't Luo Zhui come out?" Zhujie Gonpo asked, "I want to find him if I have something good to do."

"He...he went hunting."

"Let him come back quickly. A minister from our tribe is looking for him."

Zhujie Gonpo held a booklet in his hand and was flipping through it.

This is called the "Red Book", which is the result of this generation of Tubo King Chi Dai Zhu Dan reorganizing the military system.

Chidaizhudan was the marriage partner of Princess Jincheng. He was a talented and ambitious Tubo Zampu. He reformed the official system, rectified the finances, checked the Tubo soldiers, expanded the size of the army, and issued "tickets" to all adult men.

", to mobilize troops and horses at any time to start a war with the Tang army. Facing the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Chidaizhudan was unwilling to be inferior to others, and successively won over the Xiaobolu Kingdom and Nanzhao, and fought with the Tang army several times, with both sides winning and losing.

.

Today, the situation in Tubo is similar to that of the Tang Dynasty. Under the high-pressure governance of the wise monarch, the country is strong and strong. At the same time, the crisis caused by the aggressive military force is beginning to appear.

"Luo Zhui...has been found!" Zhujie Gong said: "Recruit Luo Zhui to serve as the minister's guide."

"What?"

Dejimedo was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "Chief, Luo Zhui is disabled! He broke his hand in Qiandiao City."

Qian Diao City is very close to here. Two years ago, the Tang army's commander-in-chief Guo Xuji led his army to attack Qian Diao City. The Tubo Prime Minister mobilized his troops to attack, but was defeated by the Tang army. If there had not been trouble in Nanzhao, Guo Xuji would have died.

Perhaps the Tang army had already invaded the territory of the Yak tribe.

"After such a long time, the injury should be healed." Zhujie Gongbo said: "Everyone in the tribe has discussed that Luo Zhui has been to Nanzhao before, so he should be allowed to be a guide."

"But he only went there once, and our child was sick..."

"When Luo comes back, let him set off immediately!"

Dejimedo still wanted to beg, hoping that her man would not have to leave again. But Zhujie Gonpo refused to listen to her, waved his hand, settled the matter, and turned around to leave.

~~

There are many large tents set up on the grassland full of Gesang flowers.

Two Tibetan ministers were discussing in the tent.

"Looking at the meaning of Ge Luofeng's letter, it is obvious that he does not want to surrender to Tubo."

"His ambition has always been obvious. He wants to establish his own country. The king wants to make him his younger brother, but I'm afraid he may not be willing to accept it."

"If you don't want to be the royal brother of Tubo, there is always no problem in getting married."

"Something went wrong, look at this. The news from Chang'an traveled thousands of miles before it was delivered to me. The plan to send people to pick up Feng Jiayi failed, and Feng Jiayi died in Chang'an."

"Then princess?"

"Ge Luofeng has three sons. In addition to Feng Jiayi, there is also Duo Chuan. King Asi ordered the princess to continue south and marry Duo Chuan."

"But according to my guess, Ge Luofeng will definitely pass the throne to his grandson."

The Tibetan minister with a higher official position was named Lun Ruozan. He stroked his beard and thought, and said: "It doesn't matter. When the Tang army attacks Taihe City, Ge Luofeng will negotiate terms with us."

Lun Ruozan was born in the Gar clan of a powerful Tubo family. Although he was young, he had considerable power. At this time, all he could think about was how to make the princess the queen of Nanzhao.

"The Tang army will definitely attack Geluofeng..."

Suddenly, someone rushed outside the tent and reported: "Two ministers, it's bad, the princess ran out."

~~

"What are you doing?"

The little girl lying on the ground heard a question with a cold voice. She opened her eyes and saw a heroic and beautiful girl standing there looking at her. Her eyes lit up and she said, "Sister, you are so beautiful."

After sighing, she remembered to answer the question.

"I'm waiting for the white yak."

"Why?"

"The white yak is the incarnation of the gods. It can protect my grandfather from leaving me. I don't want him to be drafted..."

Although the girl standing there looked beautiful, her expression was very cold. After hearing this, her tone became more and more serious, and she said: "What you should do is to be more independent, instead of asking your grandpa to always guard you."

"But……"

"There is no but, if Tubo wants to become more powerful, all men must obey the command."

The little girl was stunned for a moment, feeling the coldness, and couldn't help crying.

"Crying?" Instead of comforting her, the stern girl shouted: "Cry somewhere where there is no one. The troops will arrive soon. Don't lie here and get in the way."

"Woooooooo..."

The little girl then ran away wiping her tears.

The stern-looking woman got on her horse and climbed onto a hill not far away, looking at the Yak Tribe recruiting troops.

Gradually, she made a decision in her heart.

Soon, several people came galloping on horseback.

Lun Ruozan got off his horse and stepped forward first to salute and call out: "Princess."

"I will not leave." Nalanzhen said, "I will obey my father's order and marry to Nanzhao. You can rest assured about this."

"I thought the princess wouldn't agree."

Nalanzhen turned around and saw that there was no one else around Lun Ruozan. It was a rare opportunity to talk, so she asked, "Can I trust you?"

Lun Ruozan was stunned and lowered his head, not daring to look into those cold and beautiful eyes.
