Just when Niu Jinda's army was rapidly approaching the camp of the Tubo State, Xue Yantuo's tent, which was thousands of miles away, also ushered in the envoys of the Tang Dynasty.

"Linghu Shilang, this time we came to Xue Yantuo's tooth tent to announce the decree, it is estimated that Yi Nan will not be happy."

The closer he got to his destination, the more worried he became.

As a director of the Ministry of Rites, Gui Zhuai felt that he should have a bright future, and it would be good to stay in Chang'an City and slowly improve his qualifications.

But I didn't expect His Majesty to suddenly ask the Ministry of Rites to send an envoy to Xue Yantuo, and he was actually selected into it.

Everything came so suddenly, without warning.

And the purpose of this mission, Gui Zhuai is also clear.

The clearer he was, the more worried he became.

"Hmph, what can he do if he doesn't be happy? Does he dare to detain us? ”

Linghu Dedi said with an arrogant face.

Don't look at him now in his fifties, but his body is very tough.

As a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, his qualifications are also very old.

You must know that as early as the end of the Sui Dynasty, he was already a county magistrate.

After Li Yuan Jinyang raised his troops, he quickly took refuge under the command of the Tang army, and followed the army all the way to the south and the north.

This time he sent Xue Yantuo, and he also took the initiative to ask for help.

Others were worried that this envoy would be dangerous, but in fact, it was indeed not a good errand for the envoys of the Ministry of Rites to go to various Hu countries.

The envoys who went to Tuyuhun at the beginning were not detained.

Looking a little earlier, Tang Jian, the Duke of Ju, almost lost his life when he sent an envoy to the Eastern Turks.

However, Ling Hu Dedi was not worried.

Xue Yantuo's current situation seems to be boiling oil on fire, and something will happen at any time.

However, in fact, the strength of Zhenzhu Khan Yinan is far from reaching the scale of the Eastern Turks at the beginning, and the Tang army has won many battles in recent years, and the Xue Yantuo people dare to find trouble with the Turks placed in the Tang Frontier Prefecture.

"Linghu Shilang, it seems that the team greeted by Xue Yantuo has come."

At this moment, a group of cavalry appeared on the horizon in the distance, and the fast horses galloped towards the envoy team of the Tang Dynasty.

"Greeting the arrival of the envoy of the Heavenly Khan, I don't know which one is the Linghu Squire?"

A moment later, a sturdy Xue Yantuo appeared in front of everyone.

The Ministry of Rites sent envoys, in order to avoid problems in etiquette, they had already sent people and horses to the tooth tent of the Xue Yantuo people in advance, so there was today's greeting move.

"This official is Linghu Dedi, you are the reckless little khan, right?"

Since he was going to send Xue Yantuo as an envoy, Ling Hu Dedi naturally made full preparations.

Hearing that the person in front of him claimed to be Lu Mang, he knew that this was Yi Nan's eldest son.

Along the way, Linghu Dedi combined with the purpose of this trip, and constantly thought about how to better achieve the goal.

Now that he saw the recklessness, he immediately began to act.

"Don't dare to be, Zhenzhu Khan is my father Khan."

Although some people privately called Lu Mang the Little Khan, this was not canonized by the Tang Dynasty, nor was it recognized by many leaders.

However, when Lu Mang heard Linghu Dedi say this, he was actually very happy in his heart.

This Tang official is not bad, how can it be so unbearable as Father Khan said?

"The little Khan is born with divine power, he is a rare warrior on the grassland, and the official has heard of it for a long time, and when he saw it today, he really deserves his name, and this Pearl Khan can be regarded as a successor."

Linghu Dedi's words were on the back of the mang's heart.

For a long time, Xue Yantuo has not been able to reach a conclusion about who will inherit the throne in the future.

Some people support Yi Nan's younger brother, and some people support Yi Nan's sister-in-law Ba Zhuo, and only a small number of people support Trolling Mang.

Now listening to Linghu Dedi's meaning, Datang seems to be interested in supporting himself, how can Lu Mang not be happy?

"In this life, I admire His Majesty Tian Khan the most, and I am willing to guard the northern frontier for the Tang Dynasty, and I will ask Linghu Shilang to give more kind words in the future."

After some conversation, Lu Mang decided that he was the future khan supported by the Tang Dynasty, and his heart greatly increased his favor towards Ling Hu Dedi and his party.

And when he arrived at the tooth tent, after a ceremony, Ling Hu Dedi announced Li Shimin's holy decree in front of Yi Nan and a group of tribal leaders, and divided the feudal Feng Mang and Bazhuo, as well as Yi Nan's brother and several other little khans.

That's not all, the leaders of the Bayegu, Servant Gu, and Tongluo tribes who took refuge in Xue Yantuo also had their own canonizations, and for a while, except for Yi Nan's ugly face, everyone else was generally jubilant.

Although some people vaguely feel the purpose of Datang doing this, as long as they can make a profit, not too many people are willing to be that kind of selfless person.

The performance of recklessness and pulling is most obvious.

Because, all along, Yi Nan's younger brother is the heir to the Khan throne with the highest voice, and the support of the two of them is actually not very strong.

Now, they can openly own a part of their own tribes and stations, and they can better develop their own power.

Especially in the next few days, Ling Hu Dedi expressed Datang's support for them to the people who came to visit, which made the ambition of these people even more inflated.

Yi Nan saw the situation in front of him, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Don't look at Xue Yantuo's claim to have an army of 200,000, but Yi Nan really actually controls 30,000 or 40,000 people, and the rest are basically in the hands of the leaders of various tribes.

Now, Datang has rewarded several little khans in one go, as well as those tribal leaders, this team will not be easy to bring in the future.

Of course, Yi Nan can take Xue Yantuo to become the biggest force in Mobei, so naturally he will not sit still.

It can be said that Li Kuan's suggestion to imitate the "Tui En Order" also laid the groundwork for the conflict between Xue Yantuo and the Tang Dynasty, and also laid the groundwork for Xue Yantuo's civil strife.

……

Outside Songzhou, Songtsen Gampo returned to his big tent, ready to enjoy today's food.

Although Songzhou is not a wealthy state capital, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and any state in the Tang Dynasty is no worse than the rule of the Tubo State.

More than 100,000 people swept Songzhou, and they found a lot of food.

"Zampu, you try today's boiled mutton, with added spices."

Soon, a servant came to Songtsen Gampo with a large bowl of tender lamb.

"Spices? Songzhou also produces spices? ”

It's not that Songtsen Gampo hasn't eaten spices, but it was driven by the Tang caravan in the territory of the Tu Domain, and the price is more expensive than gold.

Now I suddenly heard that there were spices again, and I thought I was missing something.

"No, it was seized from a merchant, not from Songzhou. It is said that only the distant South Seas produce spices. ”

Hearing this answer, Songtsen Gampo was a little disappointed and silently grabbed a piece of mutton.

"It tastes pretty good."

Songtsen Gampo chewed a few bites, and couldn't help but light up in the eyes.

However, before he could swallow the meat, a guard rushed in.

"Zampu, there is the Tang Army, and a lot of Tang Army has come in!"

……

If you have to use a noun in the formation of the art of war to describe the layout of the military camp of the Tubo State, it can only be said to be a long snake formation. The entire flat valley floor was covered with tents of various tribes, and hundreds of thousands of troops were distributed among them.

And these people do not act in unison every day, but as a tribe unit, each of them plunders all over Songzhou.

It can be said that in this station, no one can accurately figure out which tents are living in which people.

Since the resistance forces around Songzhou had long been killed, the army of the Tibetan State had not encountered any danger these days.

Now, Songtsen Gampo suddenly heard that there were a lot of Tang troops, and his face was also confused.

Didn't you say that the advance of the Tang Army could only arrive the day after tomorrow, why did so many Tang troops appear now?

"Zampu, quick, you go west to take command."

Before Songtsen Gampo could come back to his senses, Lu Dongzan rushed in.

At this time, all the tribes are preparing to eat, and everyone is used to being scattered before, except for arranging some people to serve around, there is no fixed personnel to handle the camp, and when it comes to today's situation, it will be a big trouble.

"No, I will personally lead the army to resist the Tang army."

Songtsen Gampo is not a real straw bag after all, and he was just too surprised just now.

Now that he has reacted, Lu Dongzan wants to retreat by himself, where can he stand it.

So, as soon as he finished speaking, he went out of the big tent, gathered a group of guards, and began to organize men and horses to fight back.

However, where will Niu Jinda give him a chance?

The Tang Army also had fire and oil bombs.

In recent years, the oil bombs that have been improved by Li Kuan have been equipped with a lot of border troops.

And Niu Jinda has the advantage of Liangzhou, and many of the materials prepared by Li Band when he entered the palace Tuguhun with the forward battalion, he copied many of them to his team.

I saw Niu Jinda personally lead the forward battalion, and under the escort of a group of personal guards, rushed into the garrison of the Tubo State.

All sorts of fire bombs flew out of the hands of the cavalry, and many tents were set on fire with rockets.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Niu Jinda's forward battalion had already passed through half of the camp of the Tibetan army, and behind them was a sea of fire.

However, the valley chosen by Songtsen Gampo is wide enough, but it will not burn down the Tibetan army with a single fire.

Rao was like this, under the attack of more than 10,000 forward battalions of Niu Jinda, the Tubo army also suffered heavy losses.

There are people from some tribes who have never seen such a tragic battle in their lives, where do they still have the courage to resist?

Don't think that Hu people are all fierce and not afraid of death, everyone is human, and no one is really afraid of death.

Even the resistance of the Songtsen Gampo organization only brought some losses to the forward battalion like an itch, and it was quickly dispersed.

The role of the military formation is very large, but the role of individual bravery is not so obvious.

The Tufan completely lost the battle, and although there were many people, it became even more chaotic as the sky gradually darkened.

By the light of the fires everywhere, the battle was not over for a while.

However, Lu Dongzan saw that the general trend had gone, and many clever tribes had fled in advance.

He was afraid that he and Songtsen Gampo would fall into the hands of the Tang army, and everything would be over.

Therefore, seeing that it was no longer possible, he immediately supported Songtsen Gampo and began to retreat westward.

Songtsen Gampo, who is only in his early twenties, can only retreat with regret no matter how unwilling he is.

In fact, Niu Jinda's army actually killed not many soldiers of the Tu Domain, and the post-war statistics were only a few thousand heads.

However, this battle was the heroic style of the Tang Dynasty, which made Songtsen Gampo fearful.

Even if he gathered tens of thousands of troops the next day, he didn't have the heart to stay and continue to fight against the Tang army.

In this way, the first battle between Songtsen Gampo and Datang ended hastily.

The next day, when Niu Jinda appeared outside Songzhou City, Songzhou Thorn Shi still couldn't believe it.

As for Hou Junji, who led the army and came later, he was even more depressed.

I ran for nothing, and I didn't get any credit.

"Are you sure that the people of the Tu Domain have all withdrawn?"

Hou Junji stood outside Songzhou City and did not enter the city for a long time.

"Ayah, they're all gone. The scouts have been scattered for fifty miles, and there is no shadow of the army of the Tibetan State, and occasionally a few are scattered. ”

Hou Bao stood behind Hou Junji with a depressed face and reported.

originally thought that this time he would be able to earn a little credit for leading the troops by himself, and he would be able to enjoy life easily when he went back to be crowned an official and a half-post.

I didn't expect to miscalculate.

"These native people can slip faster than rabbits. Forget it, let's go, let's go, order the army to camp on the spot, let's go in and rest for a few days before returning to the court. ”

Hou Junji hated it, but there was no way.

The people of the Tu clan have all run away, so they can't kill the good and take the risk, right?

Now is not the era of turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, if you dare to do this, you don't need to be impeached by the imperial history, and some of the soldiers under him will jump out and not do it.

Now the team he leads, except for Hou Bao, the personal guards composed of these righteous sons are private troops, and the others are all soldiers and horses transferred from various Zhichong Mansions, which are just temporarily under their own command.

Songtsen Gampo retreated all the way to the Shannan area with his soldiers and horses, but suddenly he couldn't help but sneeze several times.

Lu Dongzan hurriedly called Lang Zhong in the army over and confirmed the health of Songtsen Gampo.

This failure will affect the prestige of Songtsen Gampo in Tubo to some extent, and if there is another problem with his health, something will really happen in Tubo.

……

In the twelve years of Zhenguan, it seems that nothing major has happened, but in fact, some far-reaching things have happened everywhere in the world.

The invasion of Songzhou by the Tubo State was stunned by a blow to the head, and it is needless to say that Xue Yantuo's various territories were divided.

Serious civil strife broke out in the Western Turks, whose core ruling area was located in the Western Regions, and the son of Shibi Khan, Yugu, set himself up as the Khan of Ebilu, and fought a great battle with the Khan of the Western Turks at that time, but the result was not a victory. Therefore, the two sides took the Ile River as the boundary and ruled by rowing the river.

This laid the foundation for the Tang Dynasty to destroy the Western Turks in the future.

Of course, this year, not everything that happened was beneficial to Datang.

In the far Middle East, the Arabs occupied Jerusalem in that year, and became the most powerful country in the neighborhood.

From then on, Arabia began to expand into Central Asia, laying the groundwork for the conflict with the Tang Dynasty on land.

And the Goguryeo people in Liaodong also began to move.

On the one hand, the Goguryeo people in the southern coastal areas were constantly attacked by slave hunters, and the population plummeted.

On the other hand, the Goguryeo people feel that they have been recuperating for so many years, and they already have the strength to wrestle with the Tang Dynasty.

It's really hard to be self-aware.
