Although only the palace was blown up and the rest of the place remained intact, in Tubo, a country with a semi-feudal and semi-slavery system, the emperor represented everything.
The palace was burned down by fire from heaven, and the emperor was dead. How could there be no chaos in the Tubo city?
The population of Tubo is four million, but there are 500,000 people in Tubo City, not including the people living in the surrounding areas.
There are too many officials and petty officials from court agencies, military, etc.
They all depend on the power maintained by this emperor to survive.
Let¡¯s put it this way, they are equivalent to many branches of a line. When the top line is disconnected, the rest will become a mess.
The temporary vacuum of power will inevitably make many people eager to seize power and consolidate their positions.
On the second day after the emperor's death, there were small-scale riots in the city, but on the whole they were okay because the city defenders were able to control the situation with the mobilization of a group of officials.
Liu Mingqi is just bad enough.
Two days before the Tubo Palace was burned down, he sent Du Wentao and seven or eight other embroidered guards, as well as dozens of elite soldiers, into the Tubo city.
There are also spies from the Xiuyi Guard in Tubo City.
¡°In fact, these grassland people¡¯s countries and ethnic groups don¡¯t care much about rebellion.
There are many contradictions among them, and they are not aligned with each other. How can you talk about unification with the outside world?
The five spies who were caught in the small tribal alliance last time were betrayed by the insider, and they were caught and rebelled.
Otherwise, don't mention how much their little life is.
Through these spies, Du Wentao understood the power structure in Tubo City.
Prince Zhuzanbu is naturally the largest faction under the emperor. His supporters include the two ministers, Yan Ben who is in charge of finance, Chang Ben who is in charge of lawetc., and the military is basically his people.
But the other first internal minister, Anta Mayang, was the uncle of the third prince, Yilin Changbu.
In addition, Wan Lun is in charge of foreign affairs, that is, Foreign Minister Danzhu, and is the father-in-law of the fifth prince.
Both of them also have some power.
As soon as the palace was burned down, the Prime Minister, Prime Minister Antamayang, immediately announced that he would take over the Guards and Guards, and began to blockade the entire Tubo city, prohibiting anyone from going out without orders, and launched search.
The next day, many gangsters who caused trouble and robbery were suppressed, and everything was generally peaceful.
The prime ministers and officials discussed for a long time and decided to quickly invite Prince Zhuzanbu back to take charge of the overall situation.
But on the night of the second day, Yan Ben, who was in charge of finance¡ªroughly the residence of Radruzan, the Minister of Household Affairs¡ªwas suddenly attacked by a group of gangsters.
That night, nearby residents heard a violent explosion in Radruzan's house, and then a fire broke out.
By the time the city defenders arrived, Radruzan¡¯s entire family had died violently, and nothing was left of their home until it was burned.
Radruzan was the loyal minister of the prince Zhuzanbu and was in charge of the food and finance of the whole Tubo. After his death, the prince's control over money and food immediately ushered in a vacuum.
For a time, a group of important ministers under the prince turned their suspicions to the third and fifth princes.
But it¡¯s not over yet.
On the night of the third day, the third prince¡¯s official, who was the male equivalent of the Minister of Punishment, was also brutally murdered.
On the night of the fourth day, two officials under the Fifth Prince were assassinated.
At the same time, another of the prince's confidants, the deputy commander of the city defenders, was suddenly killed in his home by a mysterious weapon.
This is really serious.
A series of suspicions, tensions, fears, and violent emotions among the three parties suddenly broke out.
It started as a small conflict, and then gradually developed into hundreds and thousands of people joining in.
Once they are red-blooded, these Tibetan troops will not care about anything else.
They were like wild beasts, burning, killing and looting everywhere, causing the city of Tubo to be in chaos.
It took the Imperial Guard two full days to finally assess the unrest.
But at this time, the number of casualties in Tubo City exceeded 50,000, and scenes of being burned, robbed, and killed were everywhere.
The whole city of Tubo was in chaos.
Countless people have tried their bestWhen they came down from the tree, not far away were three thousand elite cavalry who had already mounted their horses.
The original plan was that they should pass through this forest with another ten miles away, and this forest was only twenty miles away from Tubo City.
The more successful people are, the weaker their vigilance will be.
The closer you get to your destination, the more relaxed you will be.
Liu Mingqi chose this location.
Coupled with Zhuzanbu's urgent mentality, it can really be called a decisive blow.
But just at this moment, Zhuzanbu actually stopped.
After asking the cavalry to dismount and rest, several people got together again.
"This Bamboo Chanbu is not simple!" Xiong Dabao exclaimed, "At this time, he can actually hold back and not go to the city to fight for the throne immediately. His character is really remarkable."
"Isn't it because he discovered something?" Zhang Qin asked worriedly.
"no."
Liu Mingqi shook his head and said, "He never thought that we would be waiting for him here. In order to paralyze him, I directly used oil and gasoline to burn the palace. No one could escape, and there was no sound Others described it, and they also said Not sure."
"Besides, Du Wentao has also inquired about it. Their palace often catches fire, but it is not as big as this one." Liu Mingjing added: "If Zhuzanbu was suspicious, he would not have led 10,000 troops! Last night they When we were camping, didn¡¯t we use hot air balloons to explore? There were no other troops hiding around."
¡°Now they don¡¯t have any news, and there are no ambushes on all sides, which proves that there is no problem.¡± Liu Mingqi added.
"So he really wants to stabilize himself and find out the specific situation in the city before he goes in to clean up the mess?" Zhang Qin asked.
"It looks like this."
Liu Mingqi smiled lightly and said: "Then we have to prepare and give them a big surprise tonight."
"tonight?"
Xiong Dabao frowned, "Didn't you say that Zhuzanbu is very careful? At this point, he will definitely be more tense and will not relax!"
"You are right, Zhuzanbu will indeed be nervous and tighten the string. He will treat every move at hand more calmly and carefully." Liu Mingqi said: "But Brother Bao, he is an extraordinary person, his soldier But they are not! These Tubo soldiers are thinking that they will enter the city tomorrow, so that they can eliminate the fatigue of the past few days and eat, drink and have fun. Do you think they will still be nervous? "
Xiong Dabao thought for a while, then laughed and said: "If I were a soldier, I would definitely relax!"
"right!"
Liu Mingqi said, "If they had galloped all the way to Tubo City, the soldiers' breath would not have been released, but would have been tightened. But Zhuzanbu stopped at this time, just a few steps away from Tubo City. , the soldiers' enthusiasm must have dropped and relaxed! Then"
Having said this, he looked into the distance coldly: "Then tonight, it's time for us to avenge our brothers!!"
?Three thousand of them set out from a small tribal alliance. Even though they fought seven times with the Xiqiang and Uighur armies along the way, killing more than 30,000 enemies, their own losses were only more than 300 people.
But in the end, they were ambushed by the Tibetan army and lost more than 500 people. Coupled with the subsequent escape, pursuit and siege, there were only more than 1,500 wounded soldiers left.
One-third of the total force died at the hands of the Tibetan army. How could Liu Mingqi, who had always been a petty man, not hate the Tibetan army?
Especially Zhuzanbu, who presided over the pursuit of himself and others, deserved to die! !
¡¡
You guys are so cruel!
