Chapter 1263: Peace Talks
The arrogant Songtsen Gampo wanted to negotiate peace with the Tang army.
This is the first time he has been so low-minded since he became Zampu.
However, in the current situation, he has no way at all.
If peace is not negotiated, it will be difficult for them to return to Tibet alive, and even if they can return alive, the future will definitely not be easy.
If they don't surrender, it will be equivalent to cutting off all contact with Datang, and many of their things in Tibet will be imported from Datang.
If they don't surrender, there will be no trade, and many of them in Tibet will not be able to stand it.
At that time, the situation in Tibet was unstable and not conducive to his rule.
After Songtsen Gampo finished speaking, the tribal leaders looked at each other, and they were a little surprised by this, because they did not expect that Songtsen Gampo, who had always been above the top, would also compromise.
They still don't understand this Zamp of theirs.
But at the same time, their hearts are finally relieved.
For them, it doesn't matter if they surrender or not, anyway, they surrender, and they are supported by Songtsen Gampo on top, and if they surrender, they will have a chance to live.
What they really want is to live.
So soon, these tribal leaders spoke.
"Zampu, surrendering now, I'm afraid it's our only choice."
"Yes, we have to keep our heads up now, and when we are stronger, we will settle accounts with Datang."
"That's right, peace will be discussed."
“…………”
The tribal leader agreed to negotiate peace, Songtsen Gampo nodded, and then he left a team to negotiate peace, and let them wait for the Tang army here, while they, without stopping, rushed to the city of Tubo again.
Although they were ready to negotiate peace, they did not dare to be careless, and did not dare to confront the Tang army head-on, in case the Tang army did not agree to negotiate peace, then it would be too dangerous for them to continue to stay here.
Songtsen Gampo continued to flee with his soldiers and horses, and after they fled for about an hour, Qin Tian rushed over with his soldiers and horses.
However, when Qin Tian and the others encountered the Tubo people again this time, they did not encounter the broken soldiers and horses, but encountered a small team of more than 100 people.
He wondered, what was the use of a hundred or so people staying, could these hundred or so people stop them?
Riding forward, before Qin Tian could speak, a man who looked like a civil official in Tubo hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Little Grandpa Qin, don't do it, I am Brutus, an official of Tubo, I have been ordered by my family Zampu to wait for the little grandfather here, and I have come to negotiate peace with you Datang." ”
Hearing that he wanted to negotiate peace, Qin Tian finally understood what was going on, it turned out that Tubo knew that he couldn't beat them, and wanted to negotiate peace with them.
It's as if people are always like this, and when they don't have a choice, they will take a back seat.
Tubo knew that he couldn't escape, so he thought about surrendering and negotiated peace with them in the Tang Dynasty.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Qin Tian's mouth, but before he could speak, Cheng Chumo suddenly showed his Xuanhua board axe, and said, "Brother Qin, if you don't negotiate peace with them, this is a good opportunity to destroy Songtsan Gampo, otherwise when they return to Tubo, it will be equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain." ”
"Yes, we must not negotiate peace, we must destroy Tibet in one fell swoop." Yu Chi Baolin also did not approve of the peace negotiation.
In their opinion, the situation is now very good for them, and there is no need for them to negotiate peace with Tibet.
When the Tibetan peace envoy heard this, his face became a little ugly, and he began to get nervous.
Qin Tian here, but he smiled calmly, then looked at the minister of peace, and said: "It is not impossible for Tubo to negotiate peace with my Tang Dynasty, it depends on whether you have the sincerity to negotiate peace." ”
"Sincerity is naturally there, what conditions does the little grandfather have, even if you mention it, after you mention it, I will immediately tell my family Zampu."
The minister didn't dare to say no words, Qin Tian smiled softly, and then told them what the Tang Dynasty wanted, including some cattle and sheep, some grain, grass, gold, silver and jewelry, and some, which was a piece of land in Tubo.
offended them Datang, if there is no blood, it is really a bit unreasonable.
It can be said that Qin Tian is a bit of a lion and wants a lot.
After listening to the peace ministers of Tubo, they couldn't help but take a cold breath, but he didn't show any dissatisfaction, and after smiling, he said, "Okay, after I go back, I will tell my family Zampu about these situations, but I also ask Little Master Qin to wait here." ”
His meaning was very simple, that is, let Qin Tian wait for news here.
However, Qin Tian showed a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and shook his head: "No, let you Zampu escape back, I'm afraid that even if you agree to negotiate peace, the conditions I just mentioned will have to be discounted, if you want to negotiate peace, you have to leave something." ”
"What do you mean?"
"Naturally, I'm going to besiege your Zampu."
Qin Tian is not a stupid person, peace is peace, but even if it is peace, he has to have a little chip in his hand.
And trapping Songtsen Gampo is the bargaining chip he wants.
After saying this, without waiting for the Tibetan minister to say anything, Qin Tian had already taken his soldiers and horses and chased them again in the direction where Songtsen Gampo and the others had fled.
The distance between them was only more than an hour, and this distance was nothing to Tang Jun.
First, the Tang army had a lot of substitute food, they didn't need to make a fire to cook, they could replenish energy on horseback, but Tubo couldn't, they were hungry, they had to make a fire to cook, but for more than a day, they didn't have time to make a fire to cook, many soldiers were already tired and hungry, and they couldn't go fast at all.
Moreover, the Tang army pursued with a victor mentality, and their morale was relatively high.
Morale is something that sometimes really works.
The Tang army continued to chase behind, and when the sky darkened, they finally caught up and surrounded Songtsen Gampo and the tribal leaders.
However, after they surrounded them, they didn't do it immediately, they just surrounded it, because the minister of peace had already rushed back, and then, whether they fought or made peace, it depended on Songtsen Gampo's choice.
The night is getting deeper, the wind is blowing with coolness, and autumn is already a little dark.
It was quiet all around, and only some insects could be heard quietly.
Cheng Chumo has always held his Xuanhua board axe, as if they may fight with Tubo at any time.
He was a little puzzled, a little puzzled.
"Brother Qin, this is a good opportunity to kill Songtsen Gampo, why do we still have to negotiate peace with them?"
Now that they are in control of the situation, there is no need to negotiate peace, and once Songtsen Gampo is dead, Tibet will surely collapse, and at that time, they can take the opportunity to destroy Tibet in one fell swoop.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
