The Khan of Nuo Hao Bo commanded an army of 210,000 troops in the southwest of Tiexi City, facing off against the 150,000 troops of Tibet. A total of 250,000 troops entered Tuyuhun, and the rest of the army is currently scattered in various places.

In the first three days of the war, both sides were on a tentative offensive and had won and lost each other.

On the third day, the Khan convened a military meeting and decided to launch a full-scale attack on Tibet the next morning, taking advantage of the fact that the other Tibetan troops had not gathered, and strive to defeat the Tibetan army in one fell swoop.

That night, Tuyuhun's army fell asleep early, and the Khan of Nuo Hao Bo rested. They were ready to get up at 5 a.m. and launch an all-out assault on the Tibetans by 8 a.m. sharp.

At 2 o'clock in the morning, in the northeast direction, a 20,000-strong Tubo cavalry force suddenly appeared, and quickly attacked the main camp of the Tuyuhun army. Then, the Tibetan army in the southwest also launched a full-scale attack.

It turned out that Nanning Songtsen, the cousin of Songtsen Gampo, the marshal of the Tubo unified army, thought that his soldiers and horses were less than Tuyuhun's army, so two days ago, he secretly sent 20,000 cavalry to detour through the Gobi and sneak into the flank and back of Tuyuhun's army.

The Khan led the army to counterattack, but due to the loss of the first and the desperate attack of the Tibetan army's soldiers who were not afraid of death. Three hours later, the Tuyuhun army began to crumble.

The general Helian Potter led 30,000 infantry to fight to the death with the Tubo army and cover the breakthrough of Nuo Hobo Khan, but Helian Bo was killed in battle, 210,000 Tuyuhun troops, and finally only more than 20,000 cavalry followed Nuo Hobo Khan and fled back to the Tuyuhun King City Fu Qi City. The rest of the army was beheaded and captured, and the rest were scattered.

The Tubo army won a great victory, and because of their small number of cavalry units, the pace of advance was slow, which provided an opportunity for the Tang army to intervene.

When the general was killed in battle and the news of the rout of the army reached the city of Tuyuhun Wangcheng, there was a great chaos in the royal city. The nobles planned to flee the royal city and take refuge in the countryside.

At this time, the Khan had not yet returned to the royal city.

Uncle Wang, who was in charge of the remaining Nuo Hao Bo Khan, mobilized the soldiers and horses of the surrounding small cities to assemble in the royal city, preparing to defend the royal city to the death, while waiting for the return of the Nohobo Khan.

On this day, Geshu's wife's uncle brought a merchant from the Western Regions to see Geshu.

When he learned the identity of the person who came, Ge Shu was shocked - this person turned out to be Tang Fei, the head of the Tang Honglu Temple!

Ge Shu's first feeling when he saw Tang Fei was that he thought that the Tang Dynasty was going to take advantage of the fire to rob and sign an alliance with Tuyuhun under the city.

Unexpectedly, Tang Fei showed that Datang was ready to help Tuyuhun free of charge.

Geshu asked, "I, Tuyuhun, have always been hostile to you, so why do you want to help us?" ”

Tang Fei said: "Tubo has developed too fast in recent years, which has threatened the security of Datang, and Datang needs to unite with Tuyuhun to curb the development of Tubo." At this point, it is in the interests of Datang and Tuyuhun.

Let's make it clear, if Tuyuhun is destroyed by Tubo, Datang will directly face the threat of Tubo, so Datang needs Tuyuhun as a friend. ”

Ge Shu now understands Datang's intentions, and he is satisfied with Tang Fei's frank attitude.

He carefully analyzed the current situation and felt that this was the only way to save Tuyuhun. He immediately summoned the servants in the royal city, Herenpu and others, to discuss and decided to accept the conditions of the Tang Dynasty.

Subsequently, when the Khan had not yet returned to the royal city, Geshu decisively agreed to the request of the Tang army to enter the battle.

And, on behalf of the Nuo Hao Khan, he agreed, and after repelling the Tibetans, Tuyuhun declared himself a vassal to the Tang Dynasty and guarded the southwest border for the Tang Dynasty.

After receiving the report, Li Su immediately waved his army into the territory of Tuyuhun.

The Khan retreated wildly, shook off the Tibetan pursuers, rested for the night in the city of Makan, and continued to retreat to the royal city of Fuqi.

On this day, he finally returned to the royal city.

Goshu and the servant Khrenpu came together to meet the Khan of Nohobo. As soon as they met, Geshu and the servant Shehe pleaded guilty to Nuo Haobo, begging him to forgive them for agreeing to Datang's request in his name in his absence.

Nuo Haobo was already disheartened and mentally prepared to die in the country. He planned to defend the city and fight to the death with the Tibetan army, and died in the city for a hundred years.

After listening to the narration of the uncle brother tree and the servant Shot Hellenpu, Nuo Haobo was overjoyed, and he said, "Uncle, the servant shoot, you have done the right thing. This is the only way to save Tuyuhun at the moment. Hurry up and invite the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, I want to meet him in person. ”

Soon, Tang Fei and Nuo Hao Bo Khan met.

Tang Fei said: "Since Datang and Tuyuhun have signed an agreement, then the matter of Tuyuhun will be the matter of Datang in the future." ”

Nuo Hao Bo Khan said eagerly: "What kind of aid does Datang plan to give us?" ”

Tang Fei said: "In terms of materials, Datang is ready to provide you with 500,000 stones of food, 50,000 horizontal knives, 30,000 pairs of bows and crossbows, and 5 million arrows. A number of other supplies. ”

The Khan was satisfied, but these were not his main concerns, and he asked, "How many troops is the Tang Dynasty ready to dispatch?" ”

Tang Fei said: "The Tang Army dispatched a total of two cavalry divisions and the Flying Tiger Army, with a total of 28,000 people, into battle. ”

The Khan of the Noble Bowl said with some disappointment: "There are less than 30,000 people, too little, right?" The Tibetan army was very brave, and such a small army could not make any difference. ”

Tang Fei said with a smile: "At this point, you can rest assured, these troops of Datang are among the most well-equipped and best-trained, and it is not an exaggeration to treat one as ten, or even one as a hundred." Otherwise, we wouldn't have taken the risk. ”

The Khan of Nuo Haobo was suspicious, but it was a matter of the Tang Dynasty to send troops, and so much assistance was given. It's time to be content. So, he stopped asking questions and said, "So, what should we do next?" ”

Tang Fei said: "Before I came, His Royal Highness King Liang had already drawn up a battle plan, and his opinion was like this...... "He told King Liang's battle intentions to Nuo Haobo Khan and others.

Ge Shu said: "Khan, His Royal Highness King Liang's battle intentions, the ministers see that it is feasible, and at present, this is the only way to deal with the Tubo army that is in full swing." ”

The Khan of Nuo Hao Bo nodded and said, "In this way, let's deploy according to the intention of His Royal Highness King Liang." ”

Tang Fei said: "In order to show Datang's sincerity, I am willing to stay here as a hostage to ensure the implementation of the plan." ”

The Khan of Nohobo was very moved and said, "This is very good. If Tuyuhun can tide over the difficulties, I am willing to become brothers of the opposite sex with my lords, and go to Chang'an with my lords to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Speaking of the Tibetan army, they went all the way north, and the war was getting smoother and smoother - they encountered basically empty cities, with nothing in them, not even saliva to drink, wells that were destroyed, or polluted by dead cats and dogs.

Nanning Songtsan saw the problem - the enemy had resorted to the tactics of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, so that the supplies of the Tibetan army could not be replenished on the spot. He was determined to abandon the division of troops to attack the other cities of Tuyuhun and concentrate the main force to attack the king city of Tuyuhun and the city of Fuqi.

Half a month later, Nanning Songtsan concentrated an army of 200,000 people and surrounded the city. At this time, in the city of Fuqi, more than 80,000 Tuyuhun troops were also concentrated. A tragic offensive and defensive battle ensued.
