Soon after dawn, the sentry scout flew to report that the Tubo army was coming from the royal city and killing the Tang army camp!

Qin Mubai stayed up all night and just washed a handful, and immediately ordered the whole army to fight.

The Tibetan people came a little bit strangely. Or, they should have struck last night while the night was coming; Or, it should be back to take a breather and rest for a few days before attacking again. Neither of them, Qin Mubai felt very strange.

The Kansai Army beat the drums to fight, the pioneer Xue Rengui took the lead, and Fang Tian's halberd was shining with cold light.

Qin Mubai was still standing on the cloud platform, looking into the distance with his hand.

Today's Tibetan army formation is very strange. At the forefront of the battle did not seem to be the elite group of dead soldiers from the previous two battles, but a group of wandering people, and they were slow and undisciplined, or they did not look like regular armies at all.

Xue Rengui in the battle formation also felt strange, looking at the situation of the battle, there were a lot of soldiers and horses from Tibet, about more than 100,000 people. However, they were sparsely arrayed and had no formation, and it didn't look like they were here to fight and kill at all.

"It's weird, all the soldiers should be vigilant!" Xue Rengui ordered.

The Tubo brigade walked to a stone's throw in front of the Tang army and stopped. After a while, he walked out of the vast army and rode slowly towards Xue Rengui.

Xue Rengui clenched Fang Tian's halberd, his thick eyebrows frowning slightly and staring at the man.

He is not dressed in armor, but he is gorgeously dressed and extraordinary, with a faint momentum of not being angry and powerful, and revealing a domineering and extravagant atmosphere.

The person who came stood still about ten steps away from Xue Rengui, arched his hand, and said, "Is General Xue Rengui on the other side?" ”

"It's Xue! Come and report your name! ”

"I am Tubo Zampu, abandoning the sect and making praise."

……

After a stick of incense, Qin Mubai rode his horse to the front of the formation.

Abandon the sect and praise rode on the horse, still arching his hand with the etiquette of the Han people: "Young Marshal Qin, it's been a long time." ”

Qin Mubai smiled slightly, bowed back and said, "Zampu is really extraordinary. But you and I don't have to greet each other before the two armies. What is the intention of Zampu here? ”

"Just for one thing." Abandon Zong Langzan smiled and said, "But beg, Qinling will not die." ”

Qin Mubai couldn't help but smile, "Why should I promise you?" The Kaltin Mausoleum is a war criminal, and his crimes cannot be punished. ”

Abandon Zong Langzan turned over and got off the horse, stood on the ground, and still bowed his hand to Qin Mubai, "There are more than 3,000 people behind me, and all the royal families, nobles, tribal leaders and generals in Tubo have all arrived. As long as you promise that Rao Qinling will not die, we are willing to become your prisoners and be disposed of. ”

"You mean, you want your group to go back to the Galqin Mausoleum?" Qin Mubai smiled coldly, "I'm sorry, although you are Zampu, but in my opinion, the sum of more than 3,000 of you is indeed not enough for the weight of the Garqin Mausoleum." ”

It seems that he had long expected that Qin Mubai would say such an answer, so he was not surprised, stretched out his hand and pointed to the back, and said: "What if you add the surrender of 100,000 Kunlun iron horsemen, and the submission of 4 million soldiers and civilians in Tubo?" ”

Qin Mubai's face changed slightly, "What did you say?" ”

Before the words fell, all the knights in the rear army of more than 100,000 people dismounted and knelt beside the horses.

"None of them have any blades, so if you don't believe you can send someone to check them. As long as you are willing, they will be your troops and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty in the future! "We threw in the towel. As long as the Tang Dynasty forgives the Garqin Mausoleum and does not die, I will abandon the sect and praise and am willing to lead the Tubo army and people to surrender! ”

There was an uproar!

It turned out that the abandonment of the sect and the praise of the sect did not lead the army to fight, but came to surrender!

At this time, the 100,000 Kunlun iron horsemen suddenly knelt on their knees and raised their hands above their heads, and then bowed down with their five bodies on the ground, as if worshipping God.

The shouting was in the Tibetan language, and there were many people who could only hear the voices, Qin Mubai didn't understand what they were saying. It's just that the sound is really amazing, it's like a tsunami. And this voice reveals infinite sorrow and pain, like countless resentful spirits crying.

The corners of Qin Mubai's eyes twitched, and he felt a trace of shock in his heart.

Abandon Zong Langzan took two steps forward, looked up at Qin Mubai who was riding on a horse, and said, "They are begging you to forgive their marshal, brother, Garqin Mausoleum. This is the grandest ritual that our Tibetan people will only use when they participate in the sacrifice, and they will only be used when they beg for the forgiveness and protection of the gods. ”

Qin Mubai took a deep breath, his expression still unmoved. He looked condescendingly at the abandoned sect and said, "What if I don't agree? ”

"The city of Logos will resist to the end until the last drop of blood is shed!" The abandonment of the sect said calmly, but the words were sonorous.

Qin Mubai's eyebrows sank, "You threaten me?" ”

"Nope." Abandon the sect and praise the calm road, "The contest between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo has already been divided. It is a sin to die one more person. Since the Tang Dynasty conquered Tibet, the Tibetans are also the subjects under the rule of His Majesty the Tang Emperor. Could it be that you, Young Marshal Qin, want to kill your own people? - Qinling repeatedly violated the Central Plains and was guilty. But Nian was his lord at that time, and everything he did in Qinling was only out of allegiance to Tubo and allegiance to Zampu, please forgive him. If you want to punish the crime, I, Zampu, am the real culprit. I am willing to be your prisoner, and my family will go to Chang'an with you, and listen to the fate of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Qin Mubai fell silent for a while.

The 100,000 Kunlun Iron Horsemen were still kneeling and shouting repeatedly. The sound was mixed with thousands of people crying and countless tears, which made people feel heartbroken. The officers and men of the Tang Army present were all shocked.

Xue Rengui sighed and said, "I didn't expect that the Garqin Mausoleum is really so deeply admired on the plateau. Although the Kunlun Iron Cavalry on the opposite side is our enemy, from the standpoint of men, they can be regarded as affectionate and righteous. I don't doubt at all that the officers and soldiers of the Kwantan Army will treat Young Marshal Qin like this......"

The situation in front of him was really a bit unexpected for Qin Mubai.

Xue Rengui took a few steps forward and whispered in Qin Mubai's ear, "Young Marshal, have you asked His Royal Highness King Wu's opinion on this matter?" ”

Qin Mubai nodded and said, "Your Excellency Zampu, I have wronged you for a while, and I will go back when I go!" ”

"The young marshal will go by himself, and I will wait for a response here." Abandoning the sect and making praise very calm, he saw Qin Mubai turn his horse's head and leave.

Back in the camp, Qin Mubai went straight to Li Ke's tent. After walking to the vicinity of Luoqi City, Li Ke was not accustomed to the water and soil, and the altitude sickness became more and more serious, his face was swollen and dizzy, and he was groggy all day and almost had half a life left. Qin Mubai said that he would send him back to Lanzhou to recuperate, Li Ke couldn't die, he had to "lai" here, and Qin Mubai couldn't do anything about him.

Now it seems that Li Ke's "persistence" has paid off, and the moment he has been waiting for has come.

"Your Highness." Qin Mubai woke him up and said in his ear, "Abandoning the Sect and leading the army and civilians to surrender." ”

Li Ke, who was half-awake, suddenly perked up, "Good thing! Surrendered! ”

"But he has the conditions."

"On what terms?"

"Raogal Qinling is immortal."

"How is this possible?" Li Ke was also embarrassed, "The Garqin Mausoleum is very harmful, and the Tang Dynasty has a gritty hatred for him." My father has long wanted to kill him quickly, he has committed countless murders in the Liangchuan and Helong areas, and he has also slaughtered the city in Taozhou! In terms of affection, reason, and law, he must die! ”

Qin Mubai smiled bitterly, "But if we don't agree, Luo Qi City will be tenacious to the end, and it would be better to break the jade than to be complete." I can see that abandoning the sect and praising it is really something that can be said and done. He's a ruthless character. ”

"It's not a ruthless character, how can it be possible for a hero like Garqinling to be loyal to him?" Li Ke closed his eyes worriedly, meditated for a long time, and suddenly opened his eyes and said, "To solve the bell, you still need to tie the bell." Perhaps, we can't think of any way here, but there is a person, but there is a way? ”

"You mean, the Garchin Mausoleum?"

"Haha! Mu Bai, why do you always have the same heart and mind as me? Are you in love with me? ”

“…… You're still unconscious! ”

Later, Qin Mubai found the Garqin Mausoleum and told him about the pre-battle events.

After hearing this, a look of pain appeared on the face of the Garqin Mausoleum, which could not be chopped by the knife. He closed his eyes and looked up to the sky and sighed, "Zampu, why are you suffering?" ”

"Would you like to go and meet him in front of the battle?" Qin Mubai asked tentatively.

Garqinling was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Qin Mubai, promise me one thing. ”

"You say."

"In my life, I have killed countless people and created boundless evils. Now that winning or losing is a certainty, I don't want anyone to die because of me. So I want to ask you to promise me that after the surrender of Tibet, you will try to kill as few people as possible. ”

"If Zamp and the marshal lead the crowd to surrender together, it will indeed be able to reduce the number of deaths." Qin Mubai said, "I can promise you that I will not execute anyone casually. But if there is a fight between the two armies or a man-made counter-rebellion, there is no guarantee. ”

"If the Garqin Mausoleum says that Tibet has surrendered, it is really surrendered." Garqinling smiled slightly, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile, and he said, "Take me to the front of the battle and see Zampu." ”

"Okay." Qin Mubai stared at him and said, "Garqinling, I'm really a little jealous of you at this time. ”

"What do you mean?"

Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said, "There is a sentence that should have been said to women, but now it is appropriate to use it on you." There are two kinds of men in this world to cherish, one is the man who shed tears and does not shed blood, and he shed blood for you; The other is the man who bleeds without tears, who sheds tears for you. Now in front of the two armies, there are no less than 100,000 men praying for you with tears. You are so happy! ”

Garqinling suddenly stiffened, his expression froze, he looked up to the sky and sighed a few times, and strode out of the tent.

A moment later, Qin Mubai and Garqinling each rode a horse and walked out of the Tang army camp.

There are still scars left on the body of the Garqin Mausoleum, but he has changed into a clean suit and armor, and his expression is as good as ever.

His figure just appeared in front of the formation, and 100,000 Kunlun Iron Riding Mountain shouted loudly - "Marshal, Marshal!" ”

For a while, the Tang army was shaken, thinking that the Tibetans would take advantage of this to attack, so they were tense.

"Don't worry, none of them have any weapons." Abandon the sect and repeat this sentence, and turned his head to look at Gar Qinling, "Qinling, are you okay?" ”

Garqinling turned over and ran forward, knelt down in front of the abandoned sect and sang in front of Langzan, and immediately cried bitterly - "Zanpu, I have failed you!" ”

"Qinling did not fail me, and I did not live up to Qinling." Abandoned Zong Langzan sighed and helped Garqinling up, clasped his hand and stared at him, and said, "Becoming a king or losing a king, victory or defeat has its own number of days." Now that everything is a foregone conclusion, you and I might as well face it calmly. Qinling, I have decided to surrender the whole country. If we continue to fight, it will be nothing more than the death of some more people. You and my brother have been ruling the plateau for so many years, and they have not brought any blessings to the people of the plateau. Now, if you can die one less, let it be one less! ”

Garqinling's eyes closed slightly, tears rolling down, and he nodded slowly.

"Qin Mubai!" Abandon the sect and suddenly shouted, "I thank you for being so benevolent and righteous, and forgive my brother!" ”

Qin Mubai couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly said: "I didn't say that the Galcin Mausoleum will be pardoned!" I'm just taking him to the front of the battle and meeting you!" ”

"Don't worry, I won't embarrass you." "I can also say what I say, so I will enter your military camp with you now, and become your prisoner with my Qinling brothers." You escort us to Chang'an and hand it over to Li Shimin! ”

"Slow!" Suddenly, Galchinling let out a loud shout. The crowd couldn't help but look at him.

Garqinling took a deep breath, stroked his chest and bent down respectfully to give a salute to the abandoned sect and Qin Mubai, and said: "I have something to say to the subjects and soldiers of Tibet. ”

Qin Mubai nodded, "Please." ”

Garqinling walked a few steps towards the army formation of the Kunlun Iron Cavalry, stood tall and tall, and raised his hands suddenly upwards - "Get up!" ”

100,000 soldiers stood up from the ground in a uniform manner, as if facing the iron wall of the enemy.

"Brothers, I can be with you in this life, and I have no regrets in this life!"

"In the future, you will no longer be Kunlun Iron Cavalry, and you will no longer be the people of Tibet. I command you to follow Zampu and return to the Tang Dynasty together. From now on, you must behave for yourselves and stop hating the Han people as you did before. From now on, you must think of yourself as the people of the Tang Dynasty and a member of the Han people! ”

100,000 people stood silently, all looking at the Galqin Mausoleum. If there is a large military formation, not many people can hear the words of the Garqin Mausoleum, but the scene is very quiet. There were already many sergeants in the front row, silently crying.

"This is my last military order for you!"

100,000 people, still quiet.

"Who dares to disobey?!" The Galqin Mausoleum drank violently.

"Yes!!" Many soldiers in the front row slapped their chests and promised loudly, and tears flowed down their eyes.

The sergeants in the back responded in turn.

"You all have to live well. From now on, there will be no more years of conquest, no more bloodshed and sacrifice, no more separation of flesh and blood, and no more parting of life and death. Garchinling looked at the boundless army array and said loudly, "Brothers! In the next life, the Garqin Mausoleum will ride horses and hunt with you, play Zamunie together, and chase fat cattle and sheep and our beloved girls on the grassland!! ”

"Marshal! - "The three armies wept bitterly, and 100,000 people fell to their knees!

Garqinling raised his hands high, looked up to the sky and roared, "Garqinling, born as a plateau person, died as a plateau ghost!" I-will never leave my plateau! ”

Suddenly, his movements froze.

The abandoned sect screamed, "Qinling!! ”

As the king of a country, he rushed to the Garqin Mausoleum and grabbed his shoulders and saw ...... Garqinling's lips were black, and a few streams of black-smelling blood flowed from the corners of his mouth!

Garchinling, poisoned!

"Zbazranli Flower Poison!!" The abandoned sect was shocked, and shouted heartbreakingly, "Antidote! Quick, antidote!! - I have an antidote! - Where's my antidote? …… My antidote was once given to Princess Wencheng!! ”

"It's useless, Zamp. I'm not an ordinary Zibazlanli flower poison, it's the only one in the world, and there is no antidote at all. Garqinling smiled, the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and he said intermittently, "This is my ...... Specially prepared for myself! ”

Qin Mubai, who was riding on the horse, sighed, got off the horse, and walked towards the Garqin Mausoleum.

Abandoning the sect and making praise can no longer support the Garqin Mausoleum, and the body of the Garqin Mausoleum has collapsed. Abandoned Sect Langzan hugged him to the death, pillowed his head on his lap, and cried bitterly, "Qinling, my brother! - I am willing to exchange everything I have for your life, why do you want to do this? ”

"Zampu, brother......" Gal Qinling's mouth kept spurting black blood, and he stretched out his hand with difficulty, and abandoned Zong Rongzan held his hand tightly.

"Qinling is incompetent, has not fulfilled the promise I made to you, and has also caused the demise of the dynasty and the disaster of the nation. Qinling is not dead, and there is no way to apologize to the world! "The Tomb has spent his whole life in blood and killing, in killing and fighting. I have done too much killing, and now, if Qinling's death can be exchanged for the survival of more people, Qinling ...... Die without regrets! ”

"Brother! ...... "Abandon the sect and praise it loudly, crying bitterly and tears raining down.

All the 100,000 Kunlun iron horsemen knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, as if a filial son was sending his father to the end, heartbroken and sincere.

Qin Mubai walked up to them.

Garqinling turned his head with difficulty, looked at Qin Mubai, and said: "Qin Mubai, you and I have fought this battle, although Garqinling lost, he was not convinced. If there is an afterlife, I will still be your old enemy. ”

Qin Mubai frowned slightly, and said in a ghostly manner, "You haven't thought that we can be friends?" ”

"No, I won't be your friend, I'm going to be your enemy." Garqinling coughed several times, thick blood gushed out, and his voice became intermittent, "If I were your friend, where would I go to find an equal enemy and opponent like you?" Isn't that kind of life extremely lonely? ”

"......" Qin Mubai was silent.

"Qin Mubai, you promised me...... I won't kill a single person in Tibet! After my death, I will turn into a ghost of the plateau, staring at you all the time! If you break your oath, I won't let you go! ”

Qin Mubai didn't speak, sighed lightly, and nodded.

"Zampu, Qin Mubai, I beg you to cremate my body and sprinkle my ashes on the place where I once rode a horse. The royal city of Logo, the steppe of Metuo, the hometown of Bowo, the military camp of Golmud, the Dafeichuan and the Kunlun Mountains......"

"I promise you." Qin Mubai and the abandoned sect praised and spoke in unison.

"If there is an afterlife, I, Garqin Mausoleum, will still be born on the plateau and die on the plateau. Pray for the blessing of God and Buddha, so that Qinling and the plateau will never be abandoned! ……”

……

Three days later, a large pyre was once again set up on the main square of Futumen in Luoqicheng, where Hou Junji had been burned at the stake. The difference is that the previous time it was an execution, this time it was a grand funeral.

The Tubo Kingdom, which returned to the Tang Dynasty, was headed by the former Zampu Abandonment Sect and Langzan, and led the leaders of the tribes and the civil and military officials, as well as the people of the royal family and the Gar family, to pay tribute together. Qin Mubai and the generals of the Guanxi Army and Li Ke, the king of Wu, were also present.

The life of the plateau lord Garqin Mausoleum came to an end in the raging fire and the crying of the Sanssa.

"According to the will of the Galqin Mausoleum, his ashes will be scattered all over the plateau." Qin Mubai said to the generals of the Tang Army beside him, "The generation of heroes who once confused the world and ordered all the people to do the misery has come to an end. Before, I dreamed of dismantling him with my own hands. But in the end, I couldn't hate him. Why is that? ”

They were silent, and no one answered him.

"There may never be an answer to this question." Qin Mubai smiled slightly, and said to himself, "Unless I meet him again in the next life, I will have another ...... fight with him."
