Chapter 1075: Afraid of prestige and reputation
Chapter 1075 Fear of fame and reputation
Bu Jinzanmangqiong came out of Zanpu's big tent and walked all the way outside the camp.
Second Minister Qiongbangbose Suzi was outside the camp anxiously. Because of the heavy defeat, Qiongbangbose didn't even dare to enter the camp and dared not face Zanpu.
This very capable aristocratic minister in the Tubo court is said to be able to decide three cases at the same time and listen to four things at the same time to make a decision. At the beginning, he killed the Tibetan and Tibetan kings and surrendered to Langri Lunzan. He wrote meritorious works, received 20,000 households as rewards and Houzang as his territory, and became the most powerful among the new nobles. ·Shang Niang failed in the battle and failed to get the post of Prime Minister, which has always been hated.
This time, Qiongbangbose is also trying his best to make new contributions. It is best to be able to attack Songzhou before Niang Shangnan.
Who knew that they suffered a big loss in Gansong Village, lost troops and returned in a disastrous defeat, and lost countless livestock.
"What does Zanpu say?" Qiongbangbose asked Bu Jinzan Mangqiong cautiously. Although his official position is not as good as his, he is a close friend of Tubo and is often sent by Zanpu as an envoy. Zhang Zhung, contact the princess, meet King Zhang Zhung and others.
The official position he holds next to Zanpu is called Nanglun Shubu, also known as the Prime Minister of the Interior, and he is Zanpu's close attendant.
Tubo is currently adopting a system of independent ministers, and Dalun is the prime minister. In addition to the prime minister, the Tubo court actually has a whole set of administrative teams, called the Nine Ministers of Government Affairs, which belong to the three departments of Gonglun, Nanglun and Karun. Similar to the three provinces of the Tang Dynasty.
Three of them have three ministers, big, middle and small. For example, Gonglun has Dagonglun, which is the great minister, also called Lunci, and the middle and small Gonglun are also called deputy ministers, or two ministers and three ministers. Those who assist the great minister are also called Talk about recklessness.
The prime minister is in charge of the political, legal, diplomatic, military and many other affairs of Tubo. When there is a war, he often serves as the marshal of the army and enjoys a very high command of the military, while the second and third ministers are ministers involved in military decision-making.
Nanglun, also known as the inner minister, has relatively light responsibilities, such as a virtuous woman who makes decisions about internal affairs, and is mainly responsible for Zanpu's daily life, food, security, and internal affairs of the royal court.
Large sac theory is also called sac theory, and small and medium sac theory is also called sac inner zero sac, and sac filling.
Garun is known as the Grand Minister of Enforcement, Deputy Enforcement, and Minor Enforcement. Their actual control is roughly equivalent to that of the Yushitai and the Ministry of Punishment in the Tang Dynasty.
This is also known as the Nine Ministers of Government Affairs, which is different from the Nine Ministers composed of the Five General Managers and the Three Shangyilun.
Qiongbangbose is the theory of Zhonggong, and Bu Jinzan Mangqiong, the inner minister, is actually the nine ministers of government affairs. Of course, Qiongbangbose is higher in status. After all, he is the second minister, but he is a close minister of Zanpu , so he is also very polite and careful.
"Don't worry about the general manager. Although Zanpu is angry, he also knows that the general manager's defeat is not a crime of war."
Qiongbangbose still has a very high status in the Tubo court. After Songtsan Gampo reformed the Tubo system and established a five-like sixty-one Dongdai military region and a unified administrative division, Qiongbangbose and Niangshang Like the sac, they also have the Ruben of the five such as in Tubo, also known as the five general managers.
Among the five chief managers, Garmang Xiangsong Nang of the Gar family is Wei Ru Ruben, and Niangshang Nang is also the Ruben of Subi.
After the reform of Tubo, the DPRK implemented the single-phase system, that is, Dalun was in charge of the government alone and assisted the Zanpu system, and the rest were the subordinates of the prime minister. But in reality, they are Niang Shangnang's subordinates.
Of course, Zanpu also retained the system of the Three Shangyi Discussions. The Three Shangyi Discussions and the five general managers formed the nine ministers of the Tubo court.
In addition to the nine ministers of government affairs and the nine ministers of the five general managers and three ministers, there are also six virtuous ministers in the Tubo Central Committee, who lead a hundred ministers to serve Zanpu and manage various internal affairs. There are also six foreign ministers, leading a hundred foreign ministers.
There are also four ministers, Gardong Zanyusong, Niangchi Sangyangtun, Zhisai Rugongdun, and Tongmi Sangbuza, who lead a hundred ministers as directors.
Tubo’s central administrative system and bureaucratic system are relatively complex and perfect.
San Shang Yi Lun is three representatives from the four traditional relative families, that is, Uncle Zanpu’s family, and one representative from the royal family or the elder family.
Families such as Niangshi, Qiongbang, and Gar were not originally Shanglun nobles, and were even outsiders. Later, because of their high merit, they were specially granted the same status as the royal family and the Tubo elder clans.
There have always been only four Tubo clans, that is, Tubo Zanpu has always only married with the four major clans, and there are no Lu clans, Chen clans, Na Nang clans, and Cai Bang clans.
However, the number of Lun clans is constantly increasing. In addition to the Xiboye royal family, there are also many Shannan elder clans, as well as foreign upstarts who joined in later, such as Niangshi and Weishi from Subi, and Qiongbang from Houzang. , from Sembo's Gar et al.
As a new aristocratic family, although Qiongbangbose has always been proud and a little arrogant, it is also based on his own achievements, status, and strength. This defeat has also frustrated Qiongbangbose. Especially at this time, he still doesn't know about the situation of his mother, Mang Pokje.
He subconsciously thought that since Leiguan and Gansongzhai were heavily defended, the elite Tang army must be in these two places, and if he was lucky, he would definitely win.
Jong Riang, the son of Qiongbangbose, asked quickly, "I don't know how the battle is going on over there?"
Bu Jinzan Mangqiong smiled and said to their father and son, "Da Lun suffered an unprecedented defeat in Ningyuan Army Town. The 20,000 troops who crossed the snow-capped mountains were almost wiped out. Da Lun even lost the frog flag. Zanpu will reward you." The silver letters given to him were also lost, and only less than a thousand people fled back. Fearing the pursuit of the Tang people, they hurriedly led the troops back, and caused many livestock, cattle, horses, tents, etc. to be lost along the way, and many people even lived in warehouses Fleeing in panic, he fell off a cliff and died."
He told the battle situation of several other partial divisions, and all of them were defeated without exception.
Before and after, the army has lost more than 30,000 horses.
Qiongbangbose was shocked at first, and then he was overjoyed. He thought he was unlucky, but he met the Tang army elite. Who knew that it was not only his own bad luck, but everyone's bad luck, and they all lost the battle. Zanpu stayed at Lei Pass, and even after fighting with a hundred thousand soldiers for so long, he still didn't make any progress, and also suffered a lot of losses.
Everyone failed, but he, Jongbang Pose, had fewer casualties.
Bose immediately told Bu Jinzan Mangqiong that he attacked Gansong Village this time, even though he was defeated, he still captured some things, including the armor and weapons of the Tang people, and the saddle and bridle of the war horse. He said he would give some to Bu Jin Praise Mandome.
With such a show of favor, Bu Jinzan Mangqiong also immediately understood that this time Niang Shangnang suffered a terrible defeat. He was by Zanpu's side, and he estimated that Niang Shangnang's big talk would come to an end. The gesture of favor is naturally also accepted.
After chatting at the door for a while, Qiongbangbose finally stopped hesitating and strode into the camp to meet Zanpu.
Sure enough, in the Zanpu camp, Songtsan Gampo not only did not punish Qiongbangbose who had returned from the defeat, but comforted him.
"The current plan, how should we advance and retreat?" Songtsan Gampo asked Ji Yu Qiongbangbose, "You may not know that the general guarding the Tang family opposite us is that Qin Lang, and now he is named Wei Guogong. , the inspector of the school and the servant, and the Jiannan Road Xuanfu Jinglue envoy and the governor of Jiayi Prefecture, he has arrived a long time ago, but he has been calm and unassuming. He deceived us very bitterly, and held There are no less than one hundred thousand elites, but they deliberately lure us to attack."
Zamp said painfully.
Qiongbang was secretly shocked. Unexpectedly, after the death of Qin Qiong, a more ruthless Qin Lang came. In fact, after the defeat of Gansong Village, he also interrogated some useful information from the few prisoners of the Tang army captured. How much did he know about these things? I know something.
"Since Qin Lang, the young **** of war of the Tang family, is in Songzhou personally, and has transferred so many elite Tang troops, I am afraid that we will have no chance to attack Songzhou again."
"How about withdrawing troops?"
But Songtsan Gampo didn’t want to just withdraw like this. He didn’t win a single battle, so he just returned home in a big defeat. How should he explain it? Where is the prestige?
He needs a victory, even a small one.
"Zanpu, if we can't win on the battlefield, maybe we can win it on the negotiating table." Qiong Bangboser offered advice.
Songtsan Gampo was stunned.
"But how can we win on the negotiating table if we can't win on the battlefield? The Tang people are now sure of winning, and I'm afraid they won't agree to any of our requests."
"Zanpu, it may be impossible to marry the princess of the Tang family, but we might as well change the angle. If the princess of the Tang family doesn't marry, we can marry the princess of the Dafan family into Tang!"
"At that time, we can declare to the outside world that Tang and Tibetans are married..."
Zanpu needs an explanation. For the nobles, Qiangs, etc., even Xiangxiong, Nibhara, etc., Qiongbang Pose is still very cunning.
"Send someone to Songzhou to meet Qin Lang and negotiate with them."
"You may have sent Gal Dongzan to Songzhou earlier, but it has been rejected by the Tang people." Zanpu hesitated.
"Before, the people of Tang intentionally conspired to frame us, Dafan. Now we know their plan. In the name of a truce and condolences to Qin Qiong, we sent people to negotiate a peace. I believe Qin Lang should agree."
"Then send Gal Dongzan there again?"
Qionbang Bose immediately whispered, "Please Zanpu prepare a thousand taels of gold, some silver, jewelry and many other gifts."
Since you want to negotiate, you have to show sincerity, especially now that Tubo has been defeated, so it is still necessary to use some gold and silver to lure the Tang people to send envoys to Songzhou. If you can't even go to Songzhou, the Tang family's Qin Lang can't see him, so how can he save face at the negotiating table?
Songtsan Gampo paid more attention to Qiongbangbose's suggestion. After thinking about it, he nodded again and again, and finally agreed that Tubo would retreat 30 miles and set up camp, and then sent Lun Dongzan to Songzhou to meet Qin Lang with gold, silver and precious stones, looking for a Decent reasons for withdrawing troops.
