Chapter 935: Zampu escaped by chance
The battle of internal strife of the Tibetan army was fought in Dongyuan for a whole day, and when it came to sunset, the dead and wounded were everywhere, and the blood flowed like a river. The general Basanxi was killed in battle, and when Yixi Wangbo saw that the situation was not good, he planned to retreat into Jincheng to avoid the attack. And Dazarugon had already been killed after a great battle, and seeing batch after batch of Tibetan warriors die in the chaos, his reason was gradually replaced by anger, and he completely forgot what the purpose of this battle was.
Having broken through Basanshi's blockade, Dazarughan ordered the army to turn around and launched a powerful attack on Ishi Wangpo's troops. Yixi Wangbo never imagined that the other party would carry out such a violent counterattack in a hurry to get out.
"Retreat, retreat...... Evacuate to Jincheng, don't fight hard......"
Yixi Wangbo never thought that he would lead his troops to pursue and end in defeat, and if he did not retreat, he was afraid that they would be completely defeated by Dazarukon. Once this happens, the already floating people's minds will irrepressibly deteriorate, and the collapse of various parts and even the backlash will become a reality.
In fact, the vast majority of the people in Yixi Wangpo's department also had no intention of fighting, and after learning that Ma Xiang Chung Bajie had not been assassinated, their morale was greatly damaged, including the false news of Zampu's killing brought a series of blows to the morale of the army. The matter has come to this point, do not seek to win, as long as you can protect yourself, it is already a blessing to heaven.
However, Dazaru Gong pursued relentlessly, and the two cavalry continued to harass the flanks, so that more and more soldiers were killed or broke away from the brigade, and Yixi Wangbo was so worried that he could not do his best, and could only do his best to restrain his most trusted subordinates to barely maintain the formation, and retreated to Jincheng in defeat.
For some reason, the original fierce offensive of Dazaru Gong's department suddenly disappeared, and Yixi Wangbo didn't bother to explore the reason, but fortunately escaped the catastrophe, and accelerated his retreat to Jincheng. His current situation can be described as terrible, there are wolves in front of him and tigers in the back, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie and Dazaru Gong are eager to put him to death, and the attitude of the Shenwu Army is ambiguous, if both sides are hostile, his end may be in this day or two.
However, the bad luck in this world cannot always befall one person, and the envoy sent out to contact the Shenwu Army was finally found, along with dozens of cavalry of the Shenwu Army.
The news brought back by the envoy was like a relief to Iki Wangbo, as if a dying man had suddenly discovered that his life was not to be extinguished.
"Don't talk about Shanzhou and Huangshui, even if it is difficult to retreat two hundred miles, there will be no complaints!"
In the eyes of Yixi Wangbo, the demands made by Qin and Jin were not excessive, and even easily accepted, because Shanzhou and Huangshui were originally controlled by the Tang Dynasty, but in recent years, the strength of the Tang Dynasty's border army has declined sharply, and the Tubo took the opportunity to send troops to occupy this important road to Hexi.
Now Qin Jin plans to return this place to use it as an exchange condition, and Yixi Wangbo naturally does not have any psychological obstacles when he agrees.
Time waits for no one, he only hopes that Qin Jin can send the Shenwu Army over as soon as possible, as long as he can block Dazarugong's counterattack, everything will have room for maneuver.
At this moment, suddenly a military general rushed into the tent with a roar.
"There is a person outside the barracks who claims to be Zampu, let, let the deputy minister go to meet ......"
"Zamp?"
Yixi Wangbo was stunned, although he already knew that the news of Zampu's death had been deliberately spread by Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie, but at this time, someone praised himself for Pu, how could he not let him doubt the truth or falsehood? However, after all, the stakes were very high, and Yixi Wangbo did not dare to deal with it hastily, and finally decided to meet the person who claimed to be Zampu.
Just this look is not tight, it almost made Yixi Wangbo faint with excitement, it was really happy from the sky.
"It's Zampu, it's Zampu......"
For a moment, Yixi Wangbo was incoherent with excitement, and stepped forward to hug the embarrassed Tri Song Detsen and cried. It's no wonder that Yixi Wangpo is so out of shape, since he started fighting against Ma Xiang Chung Bajie, he has been under so much pressure that he feels like he has almost reached the point where he can hardly hold on to the defeat of Dazaru Gong.
It was under this circumstance that the appearance of Zampu made Yixi Wangbo suddenly restore his confidence and fighting spirit.
In contrast, Tri Song Dezan, who fled all the way, seemed very indifferent and calm, and let Yixi Wangbo put his arms around him and wept away his tears, and waited until the other party calmed down before saying:
"I'm hungry, get some food and drink!"
Trisong Detsen was indeed hungry, he had not eaten water and rice for almost a whole day and a night from last night to now, and the reason why he was able to escape was because of this super infighting of the Tibetan army. At one point, the cavalry under the command of Yixi Wangpo penetrated into the heart of the Maxiang Chung Bajie Division, and the soldiers responsible for guarding Trisong Detsen were either dead or gone. Seeing that the opportunity had come, Tri Song Detsen refused to stay in the army of Ma Xiang Chung Bajie, preferring to face unknown dangers alone than to escape the fate of the puppet.
Before leaving, Trisong Detsen specially changed into the clothes of an ordinary infantry warrior, and put his luxurious robe on a dead soldier. Then taking advantage of the chaos of the Chinese army, he fled with the rebels. Fortunately, Trisong Detsen did not die in the chaos until sunset, when the two sides gradually disengaged and the fighting gradually subsided, and he followed the retreat route of Yixi Wangpo to Jincheng.
However, before entering the Golden City, Yixi Wangbo changed his mind, and the army was mainly stationed outside the city, and only a small number of people entered the city, and the reason why he stayed outside the city was to prevent being encircled, and the army stationed outside the city could withdraw in time if there was a disturbance. And the purpose of the people who entered the city was very simple, just to collect grain, grass and arrows. In the daytime battle, they consumed too many arrows, and now they have lost logistical supplies, so they can only scavenge on the spot to replenish the consumption in the army.
Yesi Wangpo also roughly thought of the reason why Dazarughan suddenly stopped pursuing, or maybe they were also facing this dilemma.
Seeing the bloodstained clothes and armor on Trisong Detsen's body that had not yet grown, Yixi Wangbo asked with concern:
"Zampuk is injured?"
Trisong Dezan smiled:
"It's all the blood of others, and I haven't been hurt!"
"That's good, that's good...... Quick, bring the lamb stewed tonight to a pot ......"
The mutton stewed in the evening was still not cold, and Trisong Dezan didn't care about eating it, so he grabbed a piece of fat and oily mutton, and devoured it.
In addition to the meat, Yixi Wangbo also ordered someone to bring a pot of wine, and suddenly, the meat and wine in the account were mixed together, but there was a different scene.
Full of wine and food, Trisong Detsen patted his bulging belly, and then had a long burp. Since his next life, he has never felt that mutton is as delicious as it is today, it is simply the most delicious food in the world.
At this time, Yixi Wangbo talked about borrowing troops from the Tang Dynasty to protect himself. Now that Zampu has arrived at him safely, he naturally has to ask for instructions before he can make a decision.
Trisong Dezan's current performance is not at all like a fourteen-year-old boy, and Lao Cheng, who is extremely inconsistent with his age, hangs on his face all the time, and when he heard that he was going to borrow troops from the Tang Dynasty, his brows involuntarily twisted together, and then quickly relaxed.
"There is no other way than to borrow troops, and the specific matters are handled by the deputy minister, so you don't have to tell me everything!"
Although Trisong Detsen said so, Yixi Wangbo couldn't help but say it thoroughly.
"The Tang Dynasty issued conditions, and I Tubo must withdraw from Shanzhou and Huangshui ......"
He looked at Trisong Dezan with some concern, for fear that the young man Zampu would be impatient and refuse this condition. Unexpectedly, Trisong Detsen calmly seemed to be talking about other people's affairs, and only nodded, indicating that he knew.
In this way, Yixi Wangbo couldn't guess Trisong Detsen's thoughts, so he said tentatively:
"If the Tang Dynasty is strong, the military strength has long been different from what it used to be, today I can return Shanzhou and Huangshui, and I can take it by myself tomorrow!"
Tri Song Dezan high-fived and praised:
"As the deputy minister said, I am relieved!"
Suddenly, he changed his mind and asked a question that no one expected.
"Where is Shang Xijie, the general of the Eastern Dynasty, at this time?"
"This ......"
Yixi Wangbo was stunned, Shang Xijie should have been in a dilemma with 50,000 soldiers and horses in Fengyi County, presumably he should have learned about the changes in Chang'an at this time, this person is definitely an incalculable hidden danger for them.
"I have a plan to make Shang Xijie for my use, I don't know what the deputy thinks?"
Tri Song Detsen's words stopped in the ears of Yixi Wangbo, and he only felt that this was a fantasy, and Shang Xi was loyal to Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie, how could he turn against him?
"It's all up to Zampu!"
In fact, Trisong Dezan's plan was very simple, that is, he wrote a letter by hand, and then sent someone to Shang Xijie to send it. The key lies in the content of the letter, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie can be told the truth about his assassination, but he must pretend that Dazaru Gong has bad intentions, and take the opportunity to kill Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie to monopolize power, withdraw from Chang'an, and try to return to the grassland to steal the position of Tubo Zampu......
Such a true and false letter was sent to Shang Xijie, with Shang Xijie's temperament...... The situation is bound to change unexpectedly.
After listening to Trisong Detsen's plan, Yixi Wangbo was secretly frightened, and felt that although Zampu was young, he already had the courage of the old Zampu, and he was a little distracted.
The messenger sent to Shang Xijie's army left the camp with the envoy who had once again left the barracks. The envoy to the Shenwu army met with Qin Jin, who had not yet rested, three hours later, and showed that the Tibetans were willing to comply with his wishes and withdraw from Shanzhou and Huangshui, but said nothing about Trisong Dezan's fall from the camp of Yixi Wangbo.
However, Qin Jin's attitude was very different from before, with obvious impatience and disgust on his face.
"Shanzhou and Huangshui are the land of my Tang Dynasty, and this Shunshui favor is inevitably a little ugly......"
