The main army of Tibet was completely defeated after this battle.

A large number of soldiers were expelled from the main battlefield and left for exile in the wilderness.

On the entire battlefield, except for the broken battle flags still planted by the Pingxi Army, and the soldiers of the Pingxi Army with tired faces, there are only corpses, and there are endless corpses in sight.

The towering mountains of corpses, with arms, ankles, and horses' hooves poked on them, made people palpitate.

Hundreds of eagles, harrier eagles, and vultures hovered over the battlefield, salivating at the mountains of delicious food on the ground below.

A large number of floating corpses were sent to the river beach.

As a result, the nearby party members did not dare to eat the fish and shrimp in the river for several months.

......

The three large Tang troops in the north rushed fiercely, and the front of the Tibetan camp was noisy and rushed.

The scene was as if the waters of the East China Sea were boiling......

As far as the eye could see, the Tibetan rear army in the south also turned around and ran.

It can't be stopped at all, like a flood that bursts a levy.

Such a scene suddenly came to mind.

What kind of fighting spirit do they have, almost all of them turn their horses and run while fighting.

Soon rushed to Zuo Yiwei's side, riding a horse to chase and kill, arrows flying wildly.

Li Xingzhou looked at the magnificent landscape in front of him in amazement.

Between the plains and the rolling hills, hundreds of thousands of horses galloped mightily southward.

It's like the countless wild beasts that run wild in the African savannah when they encounter natural disasters.

Although Li Xingzhou prayed for victory from the beginning.

But at this moment, he was barely mentally prepared.

Watching the boiling of the sea in a daze, my mind went blank, and my instinctive excitement carried away.

The pursuit of Zuo Yiwei and other armies continued until the evening.

Xue Ne led the Chinese army to stabilize the position and follow behind.

Li Xingzhou and others also marched with the Chinese army, while watching the "Grand Ceremony of the Prosperous Age".

Along the way, the corpses were all over the mountains, and on the battlefield of hundreds of thousands of people, Li Xingzhou felt for the first time what it was to be bleeding.

......

The Don army pursued until the evening.

Countless people were killed, and there were corpses of Tibetan people along the way, which could not be calculated.

The army had been fighting all day since the early morning, and they were already sleepy.

and lack of lighting fuel due to insufficient preparation before the pursuit.

After dark, there was no moonlight, and I couldn't reach out and lose my fingers.

Li Xingzhou admonished.

"To the south, the terrain is getting higher and higher, and the roads are rough and dark."

"And our army is not familiar with the terrain of the highlands, and it is difficult to expand the results of the pursuit and it is easy to change."

"Why don't you return to the army and take the heavy cattle and sheep abandoned by Tubo."

Xue Ne agreed.

"Taking away the grain, grass and livestock of Tubo will not only suffice our supplies, but also make the Tubo people suffer heavy losses."

"They have lost this large number of supplies, I am afraid that it will be difficult to survive the winter, and there will definitely be civil strife.

Xenne ordered the march to be halted and slowly retreated north.

By dawn, the generals and civil officials counted the spoils of war.

But seeing the piles of supplies, it may take several days to count them.

Xenne had promised that the plundered of the army would not be handed over to the treasury and would be divided among the localities.

But at this time, nearly two of the more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the Helong area were consumed.

The consumption of money, food, and people's manpower is huge, and it is necessary to transfer materials from other places to work the people and lose money, and this batch of materials can just be used for military purposes......

He summoned the generals to discuss.

"If these things are divided, everyone can't use them for a while, but they can only be sold, so it's better to convert the loot into money and distribute it reasonably."

Anyway, they were all rich, and everyone had no opinion, so they agreed to store all the booty in the public treasury and then use the treasury money to subsidize the generals.

This is just a division of the spoils, and there is also a reward for decapitation and meritorious service.

In short, all the people who participated in the war were overjoyed and made a lot of money.

The border army is not as rich as Zuo Yiwei's, and some of them are from poor backgrounds and their families are so poor.

If you take an asset home and buy a house, you can change the life of the whole family and get rid of poverty all at once.

There are also those who are killed and disabled in battle, and they will also subsidize a lot of real estate and money and food at one time.

Crediting their sacrifices for their country to their families cannot fully compensate for their pain.

But it can also do some mercy for the relatives of the heroic souls.

Although this battle was won, it cost a lot of money, and it is estimated that the treasury will be emptied.

Fortunately, the joy of the unprecedented victory is in front of the mood, and a little annoyance is not enough to worry about.

......

The living soldiers were not qualified to rest, and the Pingxi Army had no logisticians, so they could only be responsible for a series of heavy tasks such as cleaning the battlefield, caring for the wounded, capturing prisoners, collecting weapons, stripping off armor, picking up trophies, and carrying the enemy's abandoned baggage and belongings.

For most people, it is unrealistic to bury such a large number of corpses, and burning them on the spot is the most labor-saving way.

So piles of firewood were lit on the battlefield, and batch after batch of corpses were thrown into the fire and turned to ashes.

The knights from afar returned from the battle.

Li Xingzhou's spear carried the head of Sonam Gyaltsen and shouted: "Generalissimo!

A relieved smile appeared on Xue Ne's face.

Li Xing rushed to Xue Ne's side and shouted.

"Generalissimo! We've won a big battle! The Tibetan army is defeated! ”

"Why did you come back so early?"

"The plan is to pursue it for at least three days, but yesterday you fought desperately to hold off Dabnie's cavalry in the back."

Li Xingzhou's excited description retracted.

"Generalissimo, we can't rest assured of you. I'm sorry, I'm not in the mood to continue the pursuit. ”

"The three generals have sacrificed ......"

Xenne nodded in understanding.

Li Xingzhou said.

"This is not Pingyang, the terrain is more complicated, without infantry formations, the results of the battle are not easy to expand, and the effect of deep pursuit is obviously not good, so it is okay not to chase."

"That's right, Dabnie..... I miscalculated, I didn't expect Dabnie to suddenly intervene. ”

Xue Ne smiled bitterly, looking around him, there were heavy casualties.

Officers of the battalions were killed, wounded, wounded.

This was the largest loss on the local battlefield since Xue Ne's entry into Tibet, and nearly 6,000 soldiers were directly killed by Dabune's cavalry.

The third brother, Xue Chuzhen, was also killed.

Although he rode on foot and fought with a tired army, it was not easy to win the victory, but it still made Xue Ne's heart ache.

Dabnie's Duodai Wuwei killed 6,000 of his own people at once, and the entire battle situation was almost overturned by him.

Yes, the five guards of the Tubo Duodai used their lives and courage to confirm the dignity of the Tubo warriors.

With the in-situ defense of the Pingxi Army, the tactics of the Xue Ne plan showed a major shortage of troops, and the sweeping formation no longer existed, and only relied on the shock formation to complete the important task of destroying the enemy.

It also brought great pressure to Zuo Yiwei and other legions.

Without this last obstacle, the Tibetan army no longer had the fighting spirit, and the defeat battle was fought with difficulty until this time.

However, Zuo Yiwei, who was not without the change in the rear, was concerned about Xue Ne's safety and lacked the support of the infantry sweeping formation, so he did not dare to make a comprehensive pursuit as planned.

Lacking a rout battle in deep pursuit, the results were limited, and the great goal of annihilating the enemy army could not be accomplished, so Xue Ne's total annihilation plan failed to achieve complete success.

It was Li Xingzhou who comforted him.

"Forget it, don't think about it."

"Even the most talented generals can't take into account every possibility born on the battlefield, if the generalissimo can also count Dabune's actions, you are not a human, you are a god."

"Don't you often say that there are no victorious generals in this world, only undefeated generals? There is no permanent way to win in war, there is only an undefeated way, and it is enough to deal with the 300,000 troops of Tubo, even if it is calculated by the enemy. ”

"Dabune is certainly arrogant once, but if he faces you head-on, we believe that he will not be your opponent."

Xue Ne smiled bitterly.

"You're a good kid."

Li Xingzhou said.

"Besides, he didn't do anything to you, aren't you still alive."

Compared with the wonderful performance of the 20,000 cavalry of Dabuni, the performance of the main army of Tubo was miserable.

Not only did they lack the confidence to win, but they also lacked the courage to fight to the death, and the result of neither of them was a rout. whereas

The main reason for this is not only the lack of its own quality, but also a large part of the reason is that it originated from the internal strife between the ruler belt Zhudan and the fish zebu.

The 200,000 army was scattered overnight, all the combat forces disintegrated and ceased to exist, and the Pingxi Army won easily.

Had it not been for the raid of the Dabune cavalry, the battle would have been the most perfect battle Xenne had ever had.

Even so, in addition to Xue Ne, who took 80,000 and killed 30,000 during the day, the remaining 190,000 Tubo troops, more than 60% of the soldiers were killed or captured.

But it also paid the price of the greatest combat damage since entering Tibet.

Sometimes wars cannot be won or lost by the number of deaths alone.

The key is to see if the expected goals can be achieved.

If you can complete the goal, no matter how big the loss is, it can be called a victory, and if you can't complete the goal, no matter how small the loss is, it will be a failure.

In every battle, in addition to calculating the detailed ledger of the battle, it is also necessary to calculate the general ledger of the entire battle situation.

Xue Ne set two major strategic goals for this campaign.

The destruction of a large number of enemy troops won more room for maneuver for the Pingxi army once the plan to capture the king failed, but it was only half completed, and the Pingxi army paid heavy losses, and finally achieved a total of 160,000 enemy defeats.

But 140,000 people escaped from their lives, and Xenne, who had planned for a long time and had paid for a great feast, was forced to leave the table in a hurry.

So Xue Ne, who was still full of ambition before the war.

After the dust of this war ended, the face was already covered with dark clouds......

......

Xue Ne was busy writing good news to the court and arranging follow-up affairs.

And Li Xingzhou also saw the black tooth Changzhi in Shancheng.

I asked Black Tooth to meet and talk.

Li Xingzhou remembered that day and night raid on the king's tent almost defeated Zuo Yiwei.

Fortunately, Black Tooth Changzhi came to the rescue, and he was a little grateful in his heart, and he did not hide it in his words.

"This battle is not trivial, more Yan Guogong rescued him, and he is not grateful."

Blacktooth often said matter-of-factly.

"Xingzhou should have planned early, and it will definitely not be calm after returning to Luoyang."

Li Xingzhou said: "I already have the bottom in my heart. ”

Black Tooth Changzhi asked with a humble attitude.

"What does Xingzhou think should be the next strategy to pacify Tibet, and the plan will be settled?"

Li Xingzhou said.

"It is difficult for the Tubo country to recover from this war, and now they are lacking internally and unable to invade externally, and unfortunately it is possible that the internal strife will collapse, so it is really my Tang Dynasty's henchmen."

"Therefore, it is not appropriate for the Tang army to fight again in the future, one is that the terrain of Tibet is rugged and treacherous, and our army is not familiar with the terrain and climate, and it is difficult to feint."

"The second is to consider the changes in Luoyang, and it is unprofitable to occupy it with a large army, and it is a waste of national strength in vain, and if the country is overwhelmed, I am afraid that it will repeat the mistakes of Emperor Sui."

"At the time of this plan, only one official needs to sit in Helong, conspire with the surrounding ethnic groups and contact the Tibetan nobles, trying to work the Tubo sect and race, and make it collapse and split as a whole regardless of the means, and then divide and rule, which is the best policy."

"What Xingzhou said, I really like!"

"Marshal Xue thinks so too."

"Longyou has been fighting for many years, and Zhang Chaoyi, the general manager of Longxi Road, is no longer suitable."

"There is news from Luoyang, I am going to take my soldiers to fight the Turks again.

"Marshal Xue estimates that he will enter the cabinet this time."

"General Xue Er is estimated to replace Zhang Chaoyi as the envoy of Longxi Daojie."

"I don't know if Xingzhou can recommend two people to assist General Xue Er."

As Xue Ne's main assistant, Xue Shenfu, the second eldest member of the Xue family, is finally in charge.

Of course, this is to a large extent compensation for the death of Xue Chuzhen, the third elder of the Xue family.

And as a direct stakeholder.

Li Xingzhou was secretly happy in his heart.

The spoils can be said to be so high-sounding, I really envy you cultural people.

……

After the defeated army of Tibet fled into the plateau, because of the death of Zampu, the dragons had no owner, and there was chaos for a while.

And because of the loss of baggage, hunger and cold, the situation is very bad.

Their army had lost less than a third of their numbers on the battlefield, but it was certain that they could not fight again.

Logistics difficulties, not to mention food, grass, ordnance, and even cold-proof tents, are in dire shortage.

The number of people freezing to death and starving to death every day is increasing, and the cruelty is no less than on the battlefield.

Difficulty in wintering is a big problem, and the infighting that has been stimulated will not end.

Danibu, who returned to Luoqi City with the elite of the Duo Dynasty and the Five Guards, became the most powerful faction in Tubo.

Yu Zebu blamed the tragic situation at this time completely on the body of the big ruler with Zhu Dan.

It is rumored everywhere that Daxiangqi took Zhudan with ill intentions and bewitched Renqin Gang Zanpu to be in danger.

As a result, Zampu's Fallen King Banner was captured, so there was a big defeat.

Da Xiangqi took Zhu Dan to defend that if the lord would retreat at that time, he would lose faster.

The tragic death of Rinchengang Da Zampu was just an accident.

It wouldn't have been possible under normal circumstances, so there's nothing wrong with his assertion strategy.

The contradictions between the two sides intensified, coupled with the emotional despair that could not get by.

The foreshadowing that Li Xingzhou planted back then finally blossomed.

Today's future of Tibet's national fortunes is full of thorns and unpredictable.

......

Li Xingzhou pedestrians look at the surrounding scenery, the mountains are undulating, the rivers are thousands of miles, it is very spectacular.

Although it is deserted and desolate, it has a sense of remoteness, but it is very important to play a strategic role.

From now on, the Hexi and Longyou regions will be connected, the security of the Southern Silk Road will inevitably bring frequent trade with Central Asia, and the fertile soil of Longyou will become the granary of the Tang Dynasty......

Before the Tibetans recaptured Shanzhou, the troops could no longer reach the Tang stronghold on the right side of Hehuang Long.

In addition, the strong fortifications that the party members threw into the Tang Dynasty and the Jishi Mountain area.

The Tibetans basically had no hope on the Eastern Front.

During the Gaozong period, Xue Rengui, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, was wiped out in Dafeichuan, and the Tang army lost tens of thousands.

The defeat of a war affected the fortune of the Tang Dynasty for decades.

The defeat of a war led to the Tang Dynasty being passive on the Eastern Front to contain Tibet for a long time.

The forced to invest more troops in national defense not only affected the economy of the Longyou region, but also continued to consume national strength.
