Chapter 169: The Dead Is No Trouble
Karluk was a Tibetan Empire vassal, whereas Beiting was under the Tibetan Empire’s control. There was a commonality between these two places—they weren’t loyal to the Tibetan Empire.
If Anxi had been a normal Tang army, Tsenpo Ling would have let Karluk and Beiting fight it out with the Tangs.
If Karluk and Beiting won, the Tibetan Empire would resolve an external threat. If the Tangs won, the Tibetan Empire would resolve an internal threat.
Either way, it would have been a victory for the Tibetan Empire.
With the Tang army bulking up with each battle, Tsenpo Ling had to alert them to the situation. She needed the Tibetan troops stationed in Karluk and Beiting to clear the vicinity to minimize the terracotta army’s expansion.
At the very least, they shouldn’t feed the enemy more troops.
As for Shu Yichao’s side, she intended to feign interest in a negotiation to stall for time.
“Understood, Your Majesty.”
The subordinate took his leave and began making preparations.
