Chapter 184 Entering Tianzhu
After taming the black Tibetan mastiff, Li Zhen got the taming technique again, and she was in a very good mood.
It¡¯s just that the oxygen in this plateau area is thin. The battle just now made Li Zhen gasp for a long time before she recovered.
??Looking at the black Tibetan Mastiff, he is majestic and high-spirited, with a proud look on his face.
Li Zhen said: "Seeing that you are so tall and look like a tiger, I will call you Black Tiger from now on."
"Ouch"
Black Tiger seemed very satisfied with his new name and let out a long roar.
Sweat!
It¡¯s obviously a dog, why is it pretending to be a wolf with a big tail? Li Zhen pouted.
"Black Tiger, come here and eat."
Xue Rengui took the meat bones to feed it. The black Tibetan mastiff was very vigilant and even ignored Xue Rengui.
Later, Sun Qingqi handed over the meat bones, and the black Tibetan Mastiff did not chew the bones until it was confirmed that there was no danger.
Sun Qingqi went to touch its fur. The black Tibetan mastiff did not resist, but looked very useful.
"What do you mean? If I give you a bone, you won't eat it. If Ms. Sun gives you a bone, you will eat it. How about the dishes?"
Xue Rengui stared, feeling unhappy.
Li Zhen said: "It seems that Black Tiger also likes beautiful women."
When Sun Qingqi heard what Li Zhen said, her face turned red and she felt happy.
"After crossing this mountain, there is Nibala in front of us, let's go!"
Li Zhen waved his hand, and the large group of people moved forward
?Niphara is located in the southern corner of the Himalayas and the southwest of Tubo. Affected by the warm and humid air currents of the Indian Ocean, Niphara has a warm climate, green trees, and pleasant scenery.
Although it is only separated from Tubo by a mountain, the environmental gap is like two worlds.
The residents of Nibala are mostly merchants and have few farm work. The land is rich in copper and they use copper as money. They are good at painting, sculpture and architecture.
Its folk customs emphasize gambling, divination, and Buddhism.
Two years ago, when Wang Xuance was on an envoy to Tianzhu, he passed by this place and the Nibala King Naling Deva paid a courtesy visit to the diplomatic envoy of the Tang Dynasty.
Although the Nepali country is not large and has a small population, its soldiers are brave and good at fighting. Especially the Gurkha soldiers of the Khas tribe are brave and good at fighting. They have a great reputation in later generations and even became the most important mercenary in Britain. Collection place.
When a group of people entered Nibala, they felt that the weather was extremely hot and it was a completely different world from Tubo.
After walking for a day, we entered a big city called Jiacheng. It is located in a natural valley at the southern foot of the Himalayas. It is surrounded by green mountains and has flowers blooming all year round. It is called the "Spring City" of the mountain country.
Jiacheng is the national political, economic, cultural center and transportation hub. There are many temples and historic sites in Jiacheng, and it is also known as the "City of Temples".
Li Zhen and others entered Jiacheng and went straight to see King Nibala.
When Nalingdev, the king of Nepal, heard that the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty had arrived, he immediately welcomed Li Zhen and his entourage with grand etiquette.
During the banquet, Li Zhen explained her intention to Nalingdepo and proposed to borrow troops from Nalingdepo to attack Zhongtianzhu.
After hearing what Li Zhen said, King Nalingdev did not immediately agree, but became silent.
Li Zhen knew that King Nalingdepo was worried that Zhong Tianzhu would be so powerful that he would get into trouble.
Tianzhu has a radius of three million miles and is divided into dozens of small countries. Among them, Central Tianzhu is the most powerful, especially King Harsha of Central Tianzhu, who has a high prestige among various countries.
Although King Harsha is dead now, a emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. In addition, Zhongtianzhu has at least hundreds of thousands of troops. Even if the combat effectiveness of Tianzhu soldiers is generally not strong, if there are too many ants, they can swallow an elephant. Just rely on Li With a force of less than 2,000 men, it would be extremely difficult for Zhen to defeat Zhong Tianzhu.
However, Nibala has always had a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty, so King Lingdepo was a little hesitant to help Li Zhen.
Li Zhen said loudly: "If Nibala can help me in the Tang Dynasty to defeat Zhongtianzhu and lend me troops, then after conquering Zhongtianzhu, apart from giving to Tibet, the rest of the spoils will be given to Nibala."
Ling Tipo was overjoyed. He knew that Tianzhu was rich, and Central Tianzhu was the most powerful and wealthy country in Tianzhu. There must be a lot of property. Since Tang Dynasty was very happy and generous, he really had to help Li Zhen once.
Thinking of this, Lingdepo said: "In this case, I will send the most skilled Gurkha soldiers in the country to go to Zhongtianzhu with His Royal Highness."
"How many people can you send?"?" Li Zhen asked.
Ling Tipo thought for a while and said: "Seven thousand people, this is already the limit."
"good!"
Li Zhen was very happy in her heart. Seven thousand Gurkha soldiers would be a powerful fighting force. With their participation, her operation against Zhongtianzhu would be successful this time.
After the banquet, Li Zhen did not want to stay long, so she immediately took the 7,000 Gurkha soldiers lent to her by Lingdev and left Jiacheng, heading southeast.
The reason why Li Zhen borrowed troops from Nibala was not simply to increase her combat effectiveness.
If we only borrow Tibetan troops, even if Nibala is defeated, Tubo will gain huge benefits and get involved in Tianzhu, and even control the entire northern Tianzhu and central Tianzhu.
In this case, Tubo will have no worries and will expand eastward with all its strength, which will inevitably become a future trouble for the Tang Dynasty.
¡°But I borrowed so many soldiers from Nibala this time. Even if I defeat Zhongtianzhu, Nibala will be the one who benefits the most.
In this way, Nibala will become stronger and be like a nail in the back of Tubo. As long as the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Nibala is good, once Tubo gets involved in the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will unite with Nibala to attack the Tang Dynasty. Tubo launched a two-sided attack to contain Tubo's development.
This trick is not new. Later great powers often used this trick to deal with hostile countries. Li Zhen just borrowed it.
At this time, Li Zhen had already made up her mind to support Nibala to deal with Tubo.
In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the Indian peninsula was divided into five major parts: east, west, south, north, and middle, which were called the five Tianzhus of East, West, South, North, and Middle respectively.
After the most powerful Central Tianzhu unified Northern Tianzhu at the time, it established the Harsha Dynasty and quickly established friendly relations with the Tang Dynasty.
In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin appointed Wang Xuance as the chief envoy and Jiang Shiren as the deputy envoy to lead a thirty-member diplomatic team to Tianzhu.
But at this time, there was a coup in Central Tianzhu. The new king Aroshuna, who had seized power, heard that the Tang envoys were entering the country, and actually sent two thousand soldiers to ambush the Tang envoys.
Wang Xuance still led everyone to fight hard to kill the enemy and fled into Tubo territory.
After hearing the news, Songtsen Gampo, the leader of Tubo, ordered thousands of cavalry to come to the rescue. In the end, only Wang Xuance and Jiang Shiren were rescued. All other personnel died in the battle and the entire team was wiped out.
Wang Xuance and Jiang Shiren vowed to exterminate Tianzhu to avenge the shame of the Tang envoy being killed!
This time, the two followed Li Zhen into Tianzhu, led an army of nearly ten thousand, and attacked the important towns of Tea Bo and Luocheng in Tianzhu! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
