Changdu is located at the throat department at the junction of Tubo, Yizhou, Qinghai and Yunnan. It is also an important place for the ancient Tea-Horse Road and a real trade route. Since it fell into the hands of the serfs' uprising army, it has caused Zhu Youzhen, Yizhou and Chinan, Tubo Delhi, to be choked. The transactions between the two sides have to bypass the area of ​​Chamdo, which is extremely inconvenient for both sides.

Taking over Changdu makes the exchanges between the two sides no longer hindered, which is a win-win situation for both sides. Now Tubo needs Yizhou to input a large amount of daily necessities from them, from tea, pots and pans to needles and threads. Tubo needs them, and Yizhou also needs to obtain weapons, war horses, medicinal materials and other materials from Tubo.

The serfs' uprising army was entrenched in Chamdo and cut off their connections. Naturally, they were not unhappy.

Compared with Abdula of Yushu, Delhi Chinan chose his main target in Chamdo.

Mangaba, the son of Tochar in the past, became the head coach of attacking Chamdo. Senobud led another attack on Yushu. It was true that the attack on Yushu was true, while the attack on Yushu was a cover. Chinan Delhi really hoped that the troops of Li Cunzhong from Qinghai could send troops to aid when Yushu was attacked. At that time, he could lead the main force to aid the Tang army in the future.

Sun Tonglin's warning reminded Delhi Chinan that the Battle of Hedong many years ago. That time, they were deeply lured into the Hedong area by Li Ze, and finally encountered the biggest defeat since the founding of the Tubo country. It was this defeat that led to a major political change in Tubo. Delhi Chinan jumped into another leader in the confrontation with Tochar, and finally, with the support of Li Ze, they survived Tochar to death and completed the reunification of Tubo again.

When Tocharo resolutely handed over all the strength to Delhi Chinan before his death, Delhi Chinan also completed the reunification of Tubo, and he and Li Ze also changed from close comrades to irreconcilable enemies.

Now Li Ze’s goal is to completely take down Tubo and turn the territory of Tubo into a province of the Tang Dynasty. Delhi Chinan, under his weak strength, could only work hard to preserve the continuation of the Tubo country’s destiny.

Delhi Chinan was suspicious when he took the initiative to attack Li Cunzhong. As Sun Tonglin said, perhaps Li Ze repeated the same trick, so he used his own way to treat him and lured Li Cunzhong's troops into the territory of Tubo.

If Li Cunzhong did not come, Delhi Chide was happy to cut off the arms of the two Tang troops of Yushu and Changdu. If Li Cunzhong really dared to come, then the long road would become his biggest enemy. The vast area gave Delhi Chinan and his Zhou Shi a strategic space. If Li Cunzhong could be completely defeated, then the Tang people would no longer be able to launch a large-scale attack on Tubo within at least a few years.

One thing is clear that other Tang troops cannot adapt to the climate of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau like Li Cunzhong's troops. They are new to the city, let alone war, it would be nice to be able to stand and raise the knife normally.

Li Cunzhong's troops have prepared for several years to attack Tubo. As long as they can be killed, Tubo will usher in a long period of peaceful development.

Sending Mangaba is also a kind of show of affection for the Tocharians by Chinan Delhi.

After all, the difficulty of fighting a group of serf uprising troops is far lower than confronting the Tang army. Giving the place of Chamdo to Mangaba is equivalent to handing over the future commercial exchanges with Yizhou, Yunnan and other places to Mangaba. This is a reward for Delhi Chinan's resignation to him before his death to Tochar.

Only when he sat in this position did Delhi Chinan truly understand Tochar's mood at that time and also understood why Tochar would hand over power to him in the end.

Because Tochar, there is really no one stronger than himself in his camp.

And a split Tubo will inevitably become the food in the mouths of the Tang people.

Only a unified Tubo can resist the invasion of the Tang people.

So Chinan Delhi withstood the desire of countless nobles to lead troops to attack Chamdo and handed over this piece of fat to Mangba.

Now, he also needs a unified and united Tubo.

Chamdo, Makanggang, Makang Temple.

Countless white banners have become the main color, rows of lamas chant scriptures in unison, and the distant Zen singing sounds fluttering with the cold wind. A grand funeral is being held here.

In the middle of the mourning hall, there was a coffin. However, there was no body of the dead person, only a pair of clothes.

On the spiritual plaques placed on the altar table between the coffins, a line of blood-red words made everyone who came to pay tribute to the tribute, their hearts were solemn and their bodies trembled, because this spiritual plaque was written in blood.

This is Xue Jun's spiritual position.

After Delhi Chinan issued an order to attack Chamdo, Xue Jun and more than a dozen Xue clans who were still in Lhasa were all sentenced to dismemberment of five horses.

Their blood was smeared on the handsome flag of Mangaba.

Four people wearing great filial piety were kneeling in front of the coffin, on both sides.

They are Xue Jun's eldest son Xue Renzhong, second son Xue Renyong, and fallen son Xue Renyi and Xue Renxiao. In the rear, there are two rows of people kneeling, and these people are all surnamed Xue.

After Xue Jun failed in the confrontation between Hedong and Li Ze, the Xue clan took the initiative to invite Ying to Tubo in order to survive and make contributions. At that time, the northern land under Tubo and Li Ze were in a honeymoon period.

With Xue Jun's experience, at that time, he clearly knew from what Li Ze did that one day, Li Ze would inevitably attack Tubo, and this deadline depends on when Li Ze could truly expand his power and become the most powerful person on the Central Plains.

So after arriving in Tubo, all the Xue clan members were dispersed by him and distributed throughout Tubo, and Changdu was his key business place. Almost all the capable people of the Xue clan arrived at this place either publicly or incognito.

The Chamdo area is tens of thousands of square kilometers, which is enough for them to hide and manage.

Some people, rich and support from the Tang Dynasty, soon became secretly here.

Tubo was in a state of heat and heat due to the years of war between Tochar and Delhi Chinan. After the serf uprising broke out, the Xue clan quickly seized this opportunity. They integrated into the serf army.

These people could get food, weapons, armor and stomach, and soon gathered thousands of serfs. In the battle with the slave owners, the Xue clans fully utilized their innate advantages and quietly annexed one small serf uprising army after another. In the end, they became the most powerful army in Chamdo, almost completely controlling the Chamdo area.

As outsiders, even with strong force, they still need the support of locals. Therefore, the nominal ruler of this army was a Tubo who called himself Gesar.

Gesar is definitely a surname that can shock people and make people crawl on the ground to worship when they hear it. The descendants of Gesar in history are nowhere to be seen. Such a sudden appearance of Gesar will naturally make many people doubt it, but when this person is endorsed by the Red Cult Lama Lomba, the people of Chamdo have no doubts anymore.

With this banner, the remaining serf uprising troops in Chamdo also gathered under Gesar.

For the Xue clan, the so-called Gesar is just a tool man in their hands. Their real collaborator is Lomba, the big lama of the Red Cult. For the grand cause of the Red Cult, Lomba has now made great efforts. He led a total of thousands of red-clothed lamas to Chamdo. The current Chamdo area has become the base camp of the Red Cult.

Xue Jun is dead.

He was declared by Lomba as the Abbot of the Red Cult, and he dedicated his body to the great cause of the Red Cult.

I'm afraid Xue Jun himself would not have thought that after his death, thousands of people would come to worship him. These people naturally could not enter the mourning hall set up in Macha Temple, but this did not prevent those believers from worshiping the Dharma King who dedicated their bodies to liberate them and was killed by their enemies, demons from hell.

Tang Degong stood in front of Xue Jun's spiritual position, put on three incense sticks, then fell to the ground with his knees, and bowed three times in a respectful manner.

If it were the past, Tang Degong naturally disdained to salute Xue Jun. But now, he knocked these three heads firmly. No matter what, Xue Jun's final choice was undoubtedly heroic.

He had a chance to leave.

But he didn't leave.

He stood until the last moment.

Finally, he used his blood to arouse the determination of countless Chamdo people to fight to the death.

Whether he was for his own family, for the Xue clans who were still in the Tang Dynasty, or for the entire Tang Dynasty's grand strategy, he would definitely leave his own lines of words on the history books.

Even if it is a matter of making a comeback, in the eyes of Tang Degong, who was born in the Ministry of Rites, Xue Jun is worth the death.

A glorious historical books, a person who could leave a name on it, wasn’t he a famous figure in the world at that time?

Like him, Tang Degong, after his death, he was just a piece of yellow earth and a pile of dry bones. After countless years, when the tomb plate collapsed, his name disappeared in this world.

Looking at the Xue family members who were sobbing and returning to court, Tang Degong walked over and helped Xue Renzhong and others up.

"The Tang Dynasty will not forget your father. I have already issued a letter to your father and ask for a title!"

"Thank you, Minister Tang!" Xue Renzhong cried.
