13. Mandi Mountains and Water Villages

"Two months, two months." Shang Jiezan thought in his heart. According to common sense, he begged to hide a strong city like Taideng City, and relied on the granary that had been stored for many years. Not to mention two months, even two years, what difficulties would be there?

But today is different from the past. Since Gao Yue appeared, many things have changed, and it is a huge change that is separated from his cognitive scope.

However, for two months, I can still hold on!

So Shang Jiezan kowtowed, thanking Zanpu for his kindness to the Nam family. He then asked himself to take charge and lead the Dongdai Imperial Army to rescue Tai Dengcheng.

Zanpu did not give a clear answer to this.

After Shang Jiezan left, Queen Cai Bang came out behind the curtain of the palace and said to Zanpu: "God Zanpu, when you were in Huating in the past, you gave Shang Jiezan Dongdai's imperial troops, but nearly 10,000 people went there, and no more than 2,000 people came back alive. The defensive troops of the imperial troops, Xiao Qianhu and Cao, did not trust Shang Jiezan's ability and believed that he was a bad general. Zanpu, you must carefully choose the general, and you should not let Shang Jiezan command the army."

Zamp also agreed with this.

Then the queen recommended, saying, "The most suitable candidate is Zanpu's third son, Muru, who is already an adult and heroic!"

Chisong Dezan has four sons. The eldest son Mou Chisongbo died early, the second son Muni followed Padmasambhava, the fourth son Moudi followed Mahayana, and only the third son Mouru entered the military camp to study martial arts and riding and shooting.

"Magadongge (the name of the queen), Ben Yongzhong knows that you have a grudge with the Nao family. If Mou Ru goes to rescue Taideng City, I am afraid that the ministers will discuss it. If the rescue is not effective, it will affect the relationship between Zamp and the Three Shangs and Four Theory families."

"I advocate letting Mou Ru go precisely for praising your power. The army, especially the headquarters's ban, shouldn't it be that my biological son should be in charge?"

Zanpu pondered silently.

At this time, several palace attendants handed them to Zanpu through the curtains with wooden slips inserted into the silver falcons.

"What, the prefectures and counties of Hexi, Gan, Su, Liang, Qin, Wei, Cheng and other prefectures in Longyou, and the Tang people and Wenmo were in chaos one after another?" Seeing this news, Zanpu's eyes turned black and he almost couldn't control it.

They were obviously just a group of conquered weak slaves, a group of Han people named "Wen Mo" who could not even compare to those of me would actually launch a riot...

In fact, the situation in Helong area at this time was much more serious than Zamp could imagine:

Since Duan Zuo and thousands of Han people who were unwilling to go to Ganzhou to farm, they killed the Xifan officers who were escorted, climbed Yanzhi Mountain and raised the flag, they repeatedly defeated the small Xifan troops who came to conquer the expedition and suppression, and the team became more famous. At the same time, Duan Zuo also sent people down the mountain to contact the enslaved Tang people in Shan, Gan and Liang, "How about I use livestock, medicinal materials, and grain to exchange for the numb silk in your hands?"

As a result, the Tang people asked: "When you are on Yanzhi Mountain, should you serve for the palace? Should you pay the ox leg tax? Should you wear a robbery and perform a foreign calendar? Should you abide by the foreign laws?"

"No, everyone on Yanzhi Mountain has set up villages to protect each other, farm and feed themselves, watch over and help each other, and everyone has changed their clothes and calendars of the Han people."

"What else can I exchange for? We all go to Yanzhi Mountain!"

Finally, the uprising storm in Wendu quickly swept across the land of Helong. Those who were close to each other tried every means to throw down the fields, farmhouses, fled to Yanzhi Mountain and entered the village; those who were far away also raised up trouble one after another, killed the Xifan officials or soldiers who were imprisoning them, entered other high mountains, and established a "mountain and water village".

The 500,000 Han people in Helong fled one quarter in a short time and built dozens of Shanshui Villages, from Yanzhi Mountain to Qishan. The left-behind teams in Xifan East and North Road were in a hurry and rushed to suppress the situation, which made the situation even worse.

The military farming policy failed, and Ma Chongying's troops besieged Shazhou, and the supply of military rations soon became difficult.

Looking at Dunhuang City, which was still unyielding but was incomplete with more than half of the soldiers' casualties, Ma Chongying became murderous: "Then he attacked the city with all his strength and after seizing Dunhuang, the entire army would be in charge for three days."

In addition to the fact that he was pissed by the heroic resistance of the Tang family in Dunhuang, the lack of military rations was also an important reason why Ma Chongying decided to launch a general attack.

At this moment, Mudi, Niang, Ding'ezeng and Mahayana, Mahayana, came to the camp after a long journey.

Ma Chongying was shocked and did not dare to neglect her, so she came to welcome Prince Moudi.

"There are many Buddhist temples in Dunhuang City, Shazhou, and there are countless priceless scriptures. I can't bear to see them destroyed by the war. I came to ask for a great discussion to make Dunhuang open the city and surrender to protect the lives of its people and soldiers." Mou Di stood in the camp and put his hands together to explain his purpose.

Ma Chongying was extremely unhappy, "I will attack Dunhuang every day. The soldiers fought hard for many days, and the casualties were severe. If they did not rob this city, they might be in turmoil."

Yuan Tongzhi stepped forward at this time and made a few suggestions to Mou Di.

Mou Di said: "Dunhuang City is quicksand in Hexi. It was a wealthy city. For example, if you can not kill, rob, or set fire, you can agree with the people and households in the city that each household will give four horses to beg for living silk, five dou of millet, wheat, and regular salt, sesame oil, and wine will give 'full grain'. Each Buddhist temple will give 50 taels of silver as a ransom for the protection portal and use it to support the army of Dalun, how about?"

Ma Chongying hesitated when he said this.

Mahayana, the Mahayana monk who was most respected by Ma Chongying, also persuaded Ma Chongying: "If you can save Dunhuang City from war, that will definitely be a great joy, and it will definitely be a great discussion of your good deeds!"

Soon, in the ruined enemy tower in Dunhuang, some guards behind the city walls also stood up slowly with the battle flag of the "Doulu Army" (the army stationed in Dunhuang in Shazhou in the prosperous Tang Dynasty). They stood up slowly with crossbows or a sword.

Under the city, a row of Western cavalry came slowly with white flags, shouting in Chinese that they should not shoot arrows, and they would say something to your prefect.

Yan Chao was wearing armor and soon stood on the stage.

The Western cavalry declared the series of conditions: "If the city surrenders, we will not kill or plunder, but we need people and households to pay the money, silk, rice and grain for begging for living in the Buddhist temple."

"How do I know, open the city gate and subdue you will keep your promise?" Yan Chao was full of disbelief.

To the Convenience, this is caused by Ma Chongying, the great remarks of the North Dao, who accepted the advice of great monks from Shanzhou. You don’t have to worry.

Yan Chao said: I also invited a monk from the big temple in Dunhuang City to go out of the city to discuss terms with you. After the negotiation is made, the city will naturally be opened.

Then, Yan Chao went to find the monks who were negotiating, but secretly ordered the people and soldiers of the city to demolish their houses and repair the damaged city walls and look at the building. He also said that the salt pond in the east of the city was also occupied by Xifan, so he used the cloth, copper coins from the military mansion to purchase the salt stored in the city at a high price and distributed it to everyone to make a long-term persistence plan.

So Yan Chao was actually determined to never surrender!

"The poor monk's Dharma Realm, a monk from the Lotus Temple in Kucha, was previously stationed in Dunhuang Temple to represent Yan Kaifu and discuss matters with the generals and monks of Xifan." In front of Ma Chongying's camp, a monk from Dunhuang City introduced himself to Ma Chongying, Moudi, and Mahayana.
