The speed of the Tibetan envoy is still very fast.

They met with two messengers, one of whom decided to board the train from Yizhou to Chang'an.

The danger of doing so is very high.

I believe that among them, someone must have been arrested by the king of Shu, and the king of Shu already knew the content of the credentials they were going to submit at this time.

Then, as long as the king of Shu sends people to martial law at the railway station, strengthen the investigation.

He rushed to Chang'an by train, which was basically an act of sending him to death.

But the current situation in Tibet is too much of a crisis.

He didn't care about his own safety anymore.

Even if there is only a 1 in 10,000 chance, he has to take this risk.

Of course, the premise of his doing so was that another envoy would go to Chang'an by other routes.

At least it can be guaranteed that the credentials can be handed over to the Tang Dynasty.

I only hope that they can hold on until then.

This messenger, called Kumarapu, rushed to the train station with the belief that he would die.

He was ready to be righteous.

But to his great consternation, Yizhou Railway Station was still the same as usual, and there was no martial law.

Of course, there are still routine dangerous goods inspections.

Others, not at all.

This, how can this be?

It wasn't until I stepped on the train that Kumora felt unreal.

The King of Shu would be so careless?

Didn't you send someone to strictly inspect the train station?

Or does the king of Shu not care if you go to Chang'an to submit your credentials?

Kumora always felt that it was the latter that was more likely.

However, even on the train, Kumara did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

He is full of vigilance, who knows if they are loose on the outside and tight on the inside?

However, nothing happened along the way, and I came to Chang'an safely.

Until he got off the train and really stepped on the land of Chang'an, Kumaropu had a very unreal feeling in his heart.

After walking out of the train station, Kumara realized that he had really succeeded in coming to Chang'an.

Next, Kumaropu quickly found the Honglu Temple in the Tang Dynasty, and then handed over the credentials of Tubo to the Honglu Temple.

Seeing this letter of national literature from Tibet, the Tang Honglu Temple was all confused, and almost didn't arrest Kumaropu as a false messenger.

Okay, how could Tubo take the initiative to ask to become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty?

I'm afraid that someone deliberately pretended to be a Tibetan envoy to ridicule the Tang Dynasty, right?

Fortunately, after some examination, it was found that this messenger was real.

Tubo really asked to become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and was willing to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty every year.

Then, the officials of Honglu Temple found out.

It turned out that the reason why Tubo did this was because the king of Shu was attacking Tubo, and now Tubo's exit was very dangerous, and there was a possibility of losing the country at any time.

It turned out that when Li Su attacked Tubo again, he began to block the news.

The attack speed of the Yizhou army was very fast, and until now, the attack has only been carried out for more than half a month.

Until now, Chang'an didn't know the news of Yizhou's attack on Tibet.

And after getting the news, Honglu Temple did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly handed over the national credentials of Tubo.

Now staying in Chang'an is Li Tai, the king of Wei.

Of course, the king of Wei was not a prince, and his rights were extremely limited.

Those who can call the shots are still Fang Xuanling and other old ministers.

King Wei, in fact, is more of a sitting position, just a symbol.

Of course, if Li Shimin was attacking Goryeo, something suddenly happened.

So at this time, when the ministers want to set up a new emperor, the first thing that may come to mind is Li Tai, the king of Wei.

And when Li Tai received the letter of state from Tubo and learned that the king of Shu was attacking Tubo and that Tubo was about to die, he suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter.

Now Tuyuhun is in the hands of the King of Shu, if he takes Tubo again, well, it is estimated that there will be another Nanzhao.

Although the information given by the King of Shu is that the terrain of Nanzhao is special, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

And Duan Yutong of Nanzhao successfully integrated Nanzhao and became the queen of Nanzhao.

Now the war situation between Yizhou and Nanzhao is still very stalemate.

But Li Tai, the king of Wei, just listened to it, and would never believe it.

The king of Wei prefers to believe that now the Nanzhao industry has fallen into the hands of the king of Shu.

Then, the current territory of the King of Shu has been connected, which is really terrifying.

Therefore, the king of Shu must not be allowed to take Tubo so easily.

It is necessary to accept Tubo as a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and immediately let the king of Shu withdraw his troops.

Next, we must continue to support Tibet.

Let Tubo become a thorn in Yizhou.

Thinking of this, King Wei didn't dare to slack off, and immediately took Tubo's national letter to find Fang Xuanling.

"Liang Guogong, great joy, great joy! Tubo Shangguo asked to become a vassal state of my Tang Dynasty! ”

"This is God bless my Tang Dynasty, small border countries, one after another, this is the prestige of my father Emperor Tian Khan!"

"Liang Guogong, this is a great joy! should immediately agree to Tubo's request, what does Liang Guogong think? ”

Li Tai can't be the master of this matter, and even he can't make the decision in major matters, and he must get Fang Xuanling's consent to do it.

And Fang Xuanling was actually a little surprised.

Because these documents such as state letters and folds were to be sent to him, the prime minister, first, and then he presented them to Li Tai.

But now, this national letter of Tubo actually came into the hands of King Wei first.

And I feel that King Wei is very concerned about this matter, which is somewhat interesting.

Thinking about these things in his heart, Fang Xuanling's face did not change in the slightest.

He smiled faintly and said, "King Wei, this national letter, let's put it here first." After the ministers and the ministers have discussed, this matter will be dealt with. ”

What the?

What else needs to be discussed?

There's no time for you to discuss, do you?

Once the king of Shu takes Tubo, it will be too late!

What the hell does this old man mean?

Li Taiqiang held back the unhappiness in his heart, and then said: "Liang Guogong, this is a great event, I think, the ministers, will not refuse to agree, right?" Is there any need to discuss? ”

Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "This matter, colleagues, there is indeed no reason not to agree. But the procedure is like this, you have to go! ”

"Besides, you don't need to be in such a hurry about this matter, right? It's just a matter of a day or two. ”

A day or two?

I really don't dare to delay, something big will happen in a day or two!

Li Tai couldn't help but say anxiously: "However, now that the King of Shu is attacking Tubo, it is very likely that something will happen if it is a day or two in the evening." ”

"Oh, that's what happened!"

Fang Xuanling said as he glanced at Li Tai meaningfully.

And Li Tai, who was seen by Fang Xuanling, couldn't help blushing a little.

If you can take Tubo, this is also to open up territory and expand territory for the Tang Dynasty, why would you, as a prince, oppose this opportunity to open up territory and expand territory for the country?

Of course, this kind of thing can't be said.

Li Tai didn't believe it, this old man Cao didn't know the reason inside.

This old man Cao is very bad!

But fortunately, Fang Xuanling didn't delay.

When it comes to the issue of the prince's succession, Fang Xuanling will not be involved.

Fang Xuanling quickly took out this issue and discussed it with the ministers.

As a result, the ministers agreed to the annexation of the Turks.

The game in this is actually quite interesting.

It seems to be a contest between the expansion of territory and the feelings of a great power, but in fact, it is still a battle for succession.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the King of Shu is too powerful.

In the final analysis, whether it is the king of Shu or the king of Qi, there is no foundation among the civil officials in the court.

And hearing that all the ministers agreed to the request of Tubo to attach, Li Tai, the king of Wei, couldn't help but be overjoyed.

But the next moment, Fang Xuanling said: "Okay, this matter, Weichen will send it to the emperor, and after the emperor agrees, he can officially issue the credentials." ”

Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, King Wei couldn't help but be anxious, and couldn't help but say: "Liang Guogong, but the matter is urgent, and it can't be delayed at that time!" ”

Fang Xuanling glanced at King Wei meaningfully, and then asked, "King Wei, in this matter, without the emperor's nod, who will make this will?" ”

This kind of thing, it is said that the King of Wei is not a prince yet.

Even if he was a prince, he didn't dare to do this.

If you do, you are trespassing.

It was Fang Xuanling's glance that made Li Tai, the king of Wei, realize that he was still too anxious.

It is better to let the king of Shu take Tubo than to assert himself.

The king of Shu took Tubo, at most it would make his road to succession more difficult.

But once he is considered by his father to be transgressed, he may not have a chance at all.

……

On the outskirts of Tibet, there are three more fortified cities.

Of course, there are a lot of small towns.

However, neither Songtsen Gampo nor Zhangjianghe had any confidence in those small cities.

In front of Tang Jun, Xiaochengchi is a tomb with a prison drawn, and it is not easy to run if you want to.

They had even abandoned the small cities and withdrawn all the defenders inside.

Anyway, the Tang Army did not harm the people.

As long as the Tang Dynasty agrees to them to become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, as long as the Yizhou Army withdraws, the people will still be the people of Tibet.

Now Tubo relies only on these three big cities.

These three great cities are high and thick-walled.

The gates were also thickened.

Even if the Tang army was using that kind of catapult, there was no way to break their city gates.

Now, what Tibet needs to do is not to attack.

Instead, he relied on the three cities and held on.

As long as they can hold on for more than three months, wait until the Datang side and accept them as a vassal state of the Datang, the Yizhou army will naturally retire.

At this moment, the Tang army launched an attack on them.

Zhang Jianghe, the national teacher of Tubo, also tried his best at this time.

He focused his main defense on the first city.

Although they have a total of three cities, if they divide their troops to defend, he feels that they will give Datang a chance to break them one by one.

Therefore, he simply put the focus of defense in the first city.

This city brought together 50,000 Tibetan warriors.

It can be said that it is a last battle!

Soon, the Tang army surrounded the city.

What is too much is that Datang did not even send scouts to probe the news behind them.

It seems that there is no fear of reinforcements coming from Tibet, and there is no fear that they will attack from behind.

However, whether it is Songtsen Gampo or Zhang Jianghe, they know it very well in their hearts.

If they really thought that Datang didn't know anything about their movements, then they didn't know how they died.

This King of Tang Shu is really too chicken thief, some time ago, they were the King of Tang Shu.

suffered a big loss.

Therefore, although Datang did not seem to send scouts, he did not have the slightest defense against them.

But if they really dare to send reinforcements, they will definitely be eaten by the Tang Dynasty, and there will be no bones left.

And until now, they didn't know what method Datang used to determine the movement of their army.

Now, Zhang Jianghe is pinning his hopes on this city, and 50,000 Tibetan warriors can defend this city.

And after the Tang army surrounded their city, it would gather a large army every day and make a posture of attack.

Not even at night.

Prepare at least a dozen attacks a day, and at least seven or eight at night.

And the attack power of the Tang army, they are very familiar.

Therefore, as long as the Tang army made an offensive posture, they would definitely act quickly and defend it to the death.

But the odious thing is that every time the Tang army is just a feint.

As a result, the Tibetan soldiers were exhausted and depressed.

Five days later, the Tibetan soldiers were harassed day and night in this way, and they became nervous.

They even carried knives and went directly out of the city to fight with the Tang army.

On this day, the Tang army continued to assemble a large army and make a posture of attacking the city.

At this time, the Tibetan defenders on the city wall were already tired.

They weakly picked up the swords in their hands and made a defensive appearance, in fact, they were not nervous at all.

No need to ask, this time, Datang must still be bluffing.

But the next moment, Xue Rengui, as the coach, gently pressed a button in his hand.

Rumble!

Rumble! Rumble!

The city wall of Tibet suddenly erupted into a series of explosions.

The city wall collapsed in an instant, and there was flying sand and rocks everywhere.

Huge clouds of smoke rose and filled almost the entire city.

None of the Tibetan soldiers defending on the city wall survived, and even the whole corpse could not be left.

Broken corpses, bombed all over the city.

And the loud sound and sudden change made the Tibetan soldiers and people in the entire city frightened to the point that their hearts stopped.

Is this the sky falling apart?

What's going on?

"Kill!"

After waiting for a while, waiting for the smoke and dust to dissipate, what appeared in front of everyone was a section of the city wall that was more than a meter white, and it collapsed with a bang.

As the commander-in-chief of this war, Xue Rengui decisively gave the order to attack.

Tens of thousands of Tang troops quickly attacked, screaming one by one and slaughtering into the city of Tibet.

What they faced was the shocked and depressed Tibetan soldiers, who had not yet woken up from the shock.

This time, the inexplicable collapse of the city wall brought them too much blow.

Originally, they were determined and prepared to die.

Vowed to live and die with the city and fight to the death.

But with the inexplicable collapse of the city wall, the insistence in their hearts also collapsed inexplicably.

At this time, they have no fighting spirit in their hearts.

Originally, they were not the opponents of the Tang Army.

As for now, there is even less ability to resist.

In just half a day, the first city was declared broken.

Of the 50,000 Tibetan soldiers in the city, more than 30,000 died and nearly 20,000 were taken prisoner.

And the destruction of this city also made the people of Tibet fall into despair.

This time, Zhang Jianghe's face was dull, and overnight, he seemed to be a teenager old, and his hair turned gray overnight.

"Zampu, I have failed your trust, please kill me, and apologize for the soldiers who died on the front line in vain!"

Songtsen Gampo sighed, pulled Zhang Jianghe up from the ground, and then said: "National teacher, this time, it is not a battle!" ”

"It's not that the national teacher is too weak, but the opponent is too strong! In the face of such an opponent, the national teacher has done his best! ”

"Therefore, don't talk about such things as punishment! What are we going to do next? I also hope that the national teacher can guide the maze. ”

Hearing Songtsen Gampo's words, Zhang Jianghe was greatly moved.

Because in this case, in order to stabilize the people's hearts, whether it is his fault or not, whether it is the fault of the war or not.

In fact, Zampu needs a substitute ghost, and then kill this substitute ghost to divert the attention of the people and vent their inner uneasiness and resentment.

But Zampu didn't do this, and still supported him, which made Zhang Jianghe not moved!

Zhang Jianghe sighed and said, "Zampu, now, I'm afraid it's difficult for us to wait for the Yizhou army to withdraw!" The best thing to do now is to give up here. Lead the Tibetan people to the west. ”

Tubo went west again, and entered the territory of Tianzhu.

This means that they have completely abandoned Tibet.

Since then, Tibet has completely lost the country.

Songtsen Gampo couldn't help but cry bitterly.

"I'm not leaving, this is the inheritance left by my ancestors, if it is destined to be buried in my hands, let me die to bury it!"

Zhang Jianghe persuaded bitterly: "Zampu, stay in Qingshan without fear of no firewood, go, we will have a chance in the future." If you don't leave, you really don't have a chance at all! ”

If you leave, will you really have a chance?

If you can't beat the Yizhou Army now, the gap in the future will only get farther and farther, right?

It's just that Songtsen Gampo's desire to survive is actually quite strong.

In the end, under the persuasion of Zhang Jianghe, he finally decided to leave.

Five days later, Songtsen Gampo led his army and members of the royal family all the way west, learned the scriptures, and fled.

Even the people, Songtsen Gampo didn't lead much.

Because their time is too limited, they are destined not to bring many people.

And with the flight of Songtsen Gampo, it was also completely announced that Tubo had died in the country.

The next city directly opened the city gate, surrendered unconditionally, and welcomed the Tang army to settle in.

All the way to the palace of Tibet, all the gold, silver and jewelry in the palace were taken away by Songtsen Gampo.

Of course, he didn't have time to take anything too bulky, so he threw it away in the palace.

Many of the ladies in the palace were also abandoned by him.

These palace maids are now very nervous, waiting for the fate of the Tang Shu King.

Of course, in their hearts, there is no luck mentality.

If the king of Shu takes a fancy to them. Maybe they'll be able to fly up the branches and become phoenixes.

It's a pity that after coming to the palace, the king of Shu did not embarrass them.

didn't leave any of them behind, but just sent them all home.

Next, Li Su directly ordered his subordinates to write a memo and report it to the imperial court.

On Li Su's side, he mobilized manpower to quickly control Tibet.

Well, next, Li Su wants to use the people of Tubo to build a railway and a road.

Only after the railways and highways can we truly control Tibet.

Although Tibet is said to be barren, in fact, there are still some resources.

……

When the King of Shu's recital was sent to the palace, the ministers and the King of Wei were stunned.

This Nima's god horse speed?

Before they could send it to the emperor for approval, Tubo had already perished!

This Tubo is too wasteful, right?

Knocked down so quickly?

This, there is no need to be attached to Datang at all.

And what subject?

Now the entire territory is Datang's.

At this time, all the ministers, including the King of Wei, suddenly realized.

King Shu, it's really become the climate!

Tubo, Tuyuhun plus Jiannandao, and even a Nanzhao.

The current King of Shu is no longer able to move if he can move.

Moreover, the King of Shu also has a Chinese trading house, as well as a Datang money village.

If you really want to meet the sword soldiers of the King of Shu, I am afraid that the entire Datang will fall into shock, which is definitely not the blessing of Datang!

At the same time, Lee Se-min was attacking the city of An, Goryeo.

However, the terrain of Anshi is dangerous, and all of it is full of elite soldiers from Goryeo.

For a while, it was difficult for Tang Jun to take it down.

Gao Yanshou also had a military general, who asked to capture the Black Bone City first, and then cross the Yalu River and directly seize Pyongyang in Goryeo.

However, this proposal was opposed by the eldest grandson Wuji and was ultimately rejected.

At this time, Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, was injured in the leg.

The weather in Liaodong began to get cold, and the transportation of military rations became a problem.

So, Li Shimin decided to return to the court.

At this time, the true pearl khan of Xue Yantuo died, and his son Bazhuo established himself as the Khan of Xue Sha Duomi.

Xue Yantuo's old khan, who was beaten by Li Su at the beginning, was called obedient and talked about Tang color change.

And the new khan who took office in his heart, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and as soon as he became a khan, he was ready to move.

Beginning to launch an attack on the south of the river, Li Shimin ordered the Jiangxia king Li Daozong, Xue Wanche, Ashina Sheer and others to divide the way to defend against the enemy.

During this period, Li Shimin first received a request from Tubo to attach a letter of state.

What Li Shimin didn't expect was that Tubo was beaten so badly.

He is about to die, and now he has to pray for attachment to protect himself.

To tell the truth, Li Shimin's pursuit is an emperor through the ages.

He was very eager to expand his territory.

If he can win Tibet, it will also be a great achievement for him.

Tubo has always been a big problem for the Tang Dynasty, but he didn't expect that he would be beaten so badly by the King of Shu if he was not the opponent of the King of Shu at all.

If this henchman can be eliminated, then the southwest of Datang will be completely stable.

And the Tang Dynasty can free up its hands to deal with Goryeo and the grasslands in the north.

This is also in the interests of Datang now.

But once the Tubo is eliminated, the king of Shu is really too powerful.

It's strong enough to threaten him.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the ministers all agreed to the dependence of Tibet.

After thinking about it again, Li Shimin also chose to agree to the attachment of Tibet and ordered the king of Shu to withdraw his troops.
