In an offensive and defensive battle close to the Tibetan capital of Luosa, the son of Tubo Zanpu Mangsong Mangzan, Dusong Mangbujie, was unfortunately killed by the mortar of the Angel Army. In addition to hatred in his heart, he now has a deep remorse, regretting that he was young and frivolous, ambitious, and incapacitated, and betrayed his father Songtsen Gampo's diplomatic concept of harmony and friendship with the Tang Dynasty, which brought disaster to Tibet, and also brought disaster to his descendants. The army is constantly approaching, and now it is too late.

Tubo Zanpu Mangsong Mangzan lay on a luxurious bed in a velvet leather coat, his head resting on his thin, pale hands. His breasts were horribly sunken, and his shoulders were hunched. His lips were closed, his eyes were dark, and the wrinkles on his pale forehead were wrinkled from time to time, faintly visible, and he trembled incessantly. Doctors knew he was struggling with excruciating pain.

Vomiting blood, the increasingly emaciated Mangzon felt that he was dying, and that he was already half dead. He experienced a sense of detachment from the earth, and a strange feeling of ease. The current situation overwhelmed him, and he was powerless, he felt haggard, and perhaps death was the best relief.

He waited unhurriedly for the deadline he was facing. The majesty of the eternal unknown distant master, whose presence he constantly touched in the continuation of his own life, was now close to him, and, according to the strange feeling of ease which he had experienced, was almost intelligible and palpable......

He used to be afraid of the ultimate. He had twice experienced the terrifying and painful sensation of death, the ultimate horror, but now he did not understand the feeling.

The first time he experienced this feeling was when the arrows spun like spinning tops and flew towards him, he looked at the snowy mountains, the bushes, and the sky, knowing that it was death that was coming at him. When he woke up from his wounds, the flower of love that seemed to have broken free from the life that had suppressed him, eternal freedom, no longer bound by life, bloomed in his heart, so he did not fear death and did not think about it.

It was the last mental struggle between life and death, and on those two occasions he was victorious, defeated the Grim Reaper, and came back to life.

This time he knew that he could no longer defeat the Grim Reaper, and this time Death was victorious. It is a sudden awakening to the cherishing of life, embodied in the love for the beautiful Queen Zanmon, and the last submission to the horrors of the unknown.

It was a night when he, as was always the case after meals, was in a low-grade fever, but his thoughts were unusually clear. He was napping, and suddenly, a feeling of happiness appeared in his body.

"Ah, she's coming!" He thought to himself.

Sure enough, the beautiful Queen Zanmon. The sound of soft footsteps entering the door. Her steps were as light and gentle as her body, and he could feel them no matter how gentle they were.

Under the gentle gaze and caress of the beautiful Queen Zanmon, he closed his eyes relaxedly and fell asleep. He hadn't slept for a long time when he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and woke up.

As he fell asleep, he was still thinking about the question he had been thinking about the whole time—life and death. More thinking about death, he felt that he was closer to it.

He dreamed that he was lying in what is now the bedroom room of the royal palace, but that he was not sick, but that he was well. Many different people, different officials, humble and cold, appeared in front of him, and they talked to him, arguing about things that did not need to be argued, arguing about whether it was wrong to provoke Datang. Manson Mangzan vaguely remembered that it was all meaningless, that he had other most important business, but he continued to speak, surprising them with some empty and witty words. Gradually, imperceptibly, these characters all begin to fade away, and all that remains is the question of closing the door. He got up and walked towards the door so that he could plug in the deadbolt and close the door. It all depends on whether he has time to close the door of his room. He walked, hurried, but his feet could not move, and he knew that he had not had time to close the door, but still mustered all his strength in vain. He fell into painful terror. This horror is the horror of death: "it" stands right outside the door. But just as he was clumsy and feeble towards the door, the terrible thing had pressed down from the other side and burst through the door. Something inhuman—death—was about to break through the door, and it was right to hold it back, and he had reached the door, and mustered the last of his strength—it was impossible to close it—even if it was to hold it; But his strength was weak and inflexible, so the door was opened, but closed, pushed by the terrible thing.

It pressed over there again. The last of his power beyond nature was in vain, and the two doors were silently slammed open. "It" comes in, and it is "death". As a result, Tubo Zanpu Mangsong Mangzan died.

In the last trembling moments of his departing body, his beloved and beautiful Queen Zanmun held his withered hand beside him, grief-stricken.

"Zamp is dead!" After lying motionless and cooling down for a few minutes, the doctor said. Queen Zanmon, with tears streaming down her face, leaned down to her dead eyes, kissed and closed them gently.

Then, everywhere rang out cries of grief and tearing.

……

In late May 643 A.D., the Tang Dynasty. The army invaded the capital of Tibet: Luosa, Tubo Zanpu Mangsong Mangzan died of depression, and his grandson abandoned Diezu in favor of the new Zanpu of Tubo, and after consulting with the ministers and Tubo nobles, it was decided to give up useless resistance and submit to the Tang Dynasty, and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was incorporated into the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

It really is: there are countless heroes, and swords and horses are everywhere.

Not long after the surrender of Tibet, one of the most powerful diplomats in history appeared in the Tang Dynasty, this person was called: Wang Xuance, who destroyed a country by himself and swept across the Indian peninsula.

Wang Xuance, a native of Luoyang in the Tang Dynasty, served as a county magistrate in Guangxi in the early days, and was later promoted to Chaosan Dafu - an official position under the five grades.

In the seventh century AD, India was divided into five parts, southeast, northwest, and middle, among which Zhongtianzhu soon became powerful, unified the Indian peninsula, and established the Magadha Empire (Zhongtianzhu).

The king of Zhongtianzhu, Luo Yiduo, was very friendly to the Tang Empire, and it happened that the very famous Tang monk Xuanzang went to India to learn scriptures, and Luo Yiduo specially met with Xuanzang and inquired about the personality of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

When Luo Yiduo learned that Li Shimin was a monarch with "holy virtues", he decided to communicate between the two countries to show eternal goodwill.

In 630 A.D., he sent a delegation to Chang'an. After Li Shimin received him, he was very happy, and after a few years, he sent a delegation to pay a return visit, with Wang Xuance as the deputy envoy.

On the first mission, Wang Xuance was just a supporting role, not inconspicuous, and Wang Xuance's identity at that time was considered a translator, all in all, it was not very important.

In August 643, Wang Xuance made his second mission to India.

This time, Wang Xuance is not only the main envoy, but also the protagonist of one of the most dramatic wars in history.

On this trip, the imperial court assigned him a man named Jiang Shiren as a deputy envoy, and the mission consisted of more than 30 people, and also carried a large number of gifts for various countries in the Indian Peninsula.

Because it was the second mission, Wang Xuance thought that it would be the same as the last time, the guests and hosts reviewed the traditional friendship in a friendly atmosphere, and then set up a banquet to get together, and finally returned to China with a few Buddhist scriptures.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Wang Xuance hit the road, something happened to Zhongtianzhu - the king Luo Yiduo died, "The country was in chaos, and his minister Nafu Emperor Alona Shun usurped." ”

At that time, there were neither satellites nor mobile phones, and information was quite underdeveloped, so Wang Xuance naturally did not know that a coup d'état had taken place in a friendly neighbor, and continued to cross the mountains and mountains to advance towards Zhongtianzhu.

In November 643, Wang Xuance's mission entered India.

The new king of Zhongtianzhu, Alonashun, adopted a hostile attitude towards the Tang Empire, and actually sent two thousand soldiers to ambush the mission.

Wang Xuance and Jiang Shiren were unprepared, and the more than 30 people in the mission were all engaged in diplomacy and had no combat effectiveness, so they were soon killed in pieces, and Wang Xuance, Jiang Shiren and other survivors were all captured and thrown into prison.

However, later, with the help of the younger sister of the King of the Ring Sun, Wang Xuance found an opportunity to escape with Jiang Shiren.

The diplomat got mixed up with this, and it was miserable, but he managed to escape. Mr. Su Wu, the diplomatic predecessor of the Han Dynasty, did not escape, and could only release sheep in Beihai for most of his life.

But Wang Xuance is not an ordinary person, he has a lot of backbone, where he falls, where to find face, he vows to destroy India, and he is ashamed - the ambassador is very angry, and the consequences are very serious.

The problem is, if you want to destroy people, you have to have soldiers! There are more than 30 people under his command, who are dead and caught, and how to take revenge on the two of them!

This is not difficult for Wang Xuance.

Wang Xuance took Jiang Shiren to the north, crossed the Himalayas, and came to the Tubo Kingdom, which had surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and found the new Tubo Zampu to abandon Diezuzan and borrow troops.

After the Tang Dynasty, the new Tubo Zanpu abandoned Diezuzan, and after the Tang War, he was convinced of the strength of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Emperor Li Shimin was generous and benevolent, and did not slaughter the royal family and noble members who surrendered to Tibet, but treated him favorably and canonized him as the new Tubo Zanpu, who was in charge of Tubo, and abandoned Diezuzan and other members of the Tubo royal family and nobles were grateful to the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, I was very happy about the request of the Tang Dynasty envoy Wang Xuance to borrow troops.

In order to show his loyalty, in order to dispel the concerns of the Tang Dynasty, the new Tubo Zampu took the initiative to greatly disarm after abandoning Diezuzan and surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, and the Zampu Guards were also reduced from the previous 100,000 horses to 5,000 horses. Regarding Wang Xuance's request to borrow troops, he attached great importance to it, and specially selected 3,000 of the most elite soldiers from his 5,000 Zampu guards and handed them over to Wang Xuance.

Another friendly country, the country of Nibora (around Nepal), also sent 5,000 cavalry. Wang Xuance also spread the word to the nearby vassal countries, and got a total of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses.

After the "multinational force" was assembled, Wang Xuance appointed himself as the chief manager, and ordered Jiang Shiren to be the vanguard, and slaughtered Zhongtianzhu in a mighty way.

Alona Shun hurriedly sent the "elephant army" to meet the battle. The "Elephant Army" is a unique branch of the military in South Asia, in which soldiers sit on elephants to direct charges, shoot arrows, and are followed by infantry charges, similar to the tanks of later generations. The elephant is on a rampage, difficult for the enemy to parry, and looks extremely powerful.

However, this kind of "armored warfare" also bullies and bullies the surrounding small countries that have never seen the world, although Wang Xuance is a civilian official who has never fought a war, but the thousands of years of civilization history of the Tang Dynasty in China covers a very deep art of war, how can you be afraid of a few elephants?

Wang Xuance commanded his subordinates to use the "Fire Ox Array", and dozens of cattle rushed towards the "Elephant Army" with red light. Tens of thousands of "elephant troops" have thrown themselves into disarray, and countless soldiers have been trampled to death by elephants.

Alona Shun was so shocked that he had to defend the city.

Wang Xuance commanded the army to use cloud ladders, crossbow carts and cooperate with water attacks, and continuously attacked the city, which not only made the soldiers of the "multinational force" under his command gain knowledge, but also opened the eyes of the soldiers of Zhongtianzhu - where have they seen such high-tech weapons, fighting for three days, breaking it, more than 3,000 soldiers of Zhongtianzhu were beheaded, tens of thousands of people were drowned in the water, and King Alona abandoned the city and fled.

After Zhongtianzhu was destroyed, Alona fled to Dongtianzhu with a small number of remnants, and brought rescue troops from the corpse of the king of Dongtianzhu in an attempt to counterattack. Wang Xuance was furious, waved his army to the east, annihilated the remnants of Alona Shun in one fell swoop, and captured Alo Nashun alive, "The rest of the people were killed, 580 cities near and far were killed, more than 22,000 men and women were captured, and more than 30,000 cattle and horses were captured." Tianzhu is terrified".

Since Dong Tianzhu aided Alonashun, Wang Xuance was ready to take advantage of the victory to pursue and destroy Dong Tianzhu in one go. The corpse of the king of Dongtianzhu was so frightened that he hurriedly sent ten thousand heads of cattle and horses, a number of gold and silver treasures, apologized to Wang Xuance, and offered rare treasures, and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and Wang Xuance gave up.

Wang Xuance rescued the other captured diplomatic officials, put Alona Shun in a flail and locked into a prisoner car, and returned to China with the spoils of war to report on his work.

A diplomat who escaped death, did not use a single soldier of the Tang Dynasty, and only relied on his own strength to borrow his army to go south, swept across the Indian Peninsula, and destroyed the powerful Magadha Kingdom, which shocked all countries in India and greatly strengthened the prestige of the Tang Dynasty.

Wang Xuance's legendary experience as a diplomat of "one man destroying one country" is a miracle in the history of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign wars.
