Luosa River, Dafu Lu.

The ruler of the Tubo State, Zhu Dan (also known as Xi De Zuzan), sat on the throne and looked at the civil and military generals on the left and right sides below, and these civil and military ministers all showed horror one by one, just because since the establishment of the Tubo State, there has not been any foreign enemy army that can hit the hinterland of the Tubo Plateau, but now there is a Tang army and horses not only captured the Kunlun Pass, but also successively captured the Tanggula Pass and the lower part.

You must know that Heihe is only a stone's throw away from Luo, if you let this Tang army come to Luo, the consequences are really unimaginable, and it makes people feel chills in their hearts when they think about it, and the big and small slave owners sitting on the left and right sides are all pale, and many people are trembling with fright.

I only heard the ruler Zhudan snort coldly: "It's all useless things, look at you idiots, one by one, you eat fat heads and big ears, but you are as timid as a mouse!" Presumably it's a happy life, so you can't be frightened, right? Not only are you bastards useless, but the soldiers and generals guarding the Kunlun Pass and Tanggula Pass are all wine bags and rice bags! This Tang army has been beaten to the lower part, but I am afraid that the important town of Heihe has also been poisoned now, and this year, our military rations and war horses in Tubo are all gone, I am afraid that in two days, this Tang army will be killed in my Dafulu."

Da Yan hurriedly stood up and persuaded: "Zan Pu is angry, the world has been peaceful for a long time, and it is reasonable for the ministers to be afraid, but now it is useless to be afraid, and the Tang army will not retreat because I am afraid!" However, this Tang army is too bold, and thousands of people rushed into the hinterland of my Tubo, is it really that there is no one in my Tubo country? Zanpu, the old minister thinks that there are still tens of thousands of troops around Luo, even if the Tang army kills it, there is not much threat to Luo, and now, it is necessary to send some soldiers and horses from the east, northwest and south to encircle and kill this Tang army, and annihilate it in the territory of my Tubo. ”

After listening to Ku Dayan's words, Zhu Dan thought it was true, his face looked a little better, he nodded and said: "What the big theory said is good, since this is the case, I will pass on the order, and transfer 20,000 soldiers and horses from Zhongru and Youru each to participate in the encirclement and suppression of this Tang army, and they must not be allowed to escape back to the Tang region!" ”

"Do what Zampu wills!"

······

Black River.

Zhao Ziliang counted the materials, put all the seized materials into the wrench space, and when he came out of the tent, he carried a pot of hot mare's milk in his hand, and saw Ma Lan, Brehan and several other people sitting around chatting and chatting, so he also walked over and asked, "Didn't you all let you all sleep?" How do you talk here? ”

Several people hurriedly stood up to greet Zhao Ziliang, and Ma Ling smiled bitterly: "General, I just killed so many people, and I really can't sleep for a while, so the big guys can only gossip together."

Zhao Ziliang understood this and pressed his hand: "Since you can't sleep, then let's sit here and talk, come, sit!" ”

After sitting down, Zhao Ziliang took out a copper kettle filled with hot mare's milk, and immediately took it over and poured a bowl for everyone, and everyone chatted while drinking the mare's milk.

Ma Lan asked, "General, how far is it from here to Luo?" ”

Zhao Ziliang calculated and said, "It's about more than six hundred miles, right?" ”

Brehan said, "Only six hundred li? If we force the march, it will only take two days to arrive! ”

Zhao Ziliang couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Do you want to raid Luo?" This is impossible, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses guarding the Luosa River where the Luo is located, all of them are the elite of Tibet, and the Luo is tightly guarded, and now we only have more than 1,700 people, but I am afraid that they will all be annihilated before they have killed the Luo Qi. Since we entered the Tibetan Plateau, the time is not short, even if the Tibetan people are slow to transmit the news, at this time, I am afraid that they will know where we are, and there will definitely be many Tibetan soldiers here to kill us later, so we don't have much time to stay here, and after the soldiers have a good sleep, they will immediately set out of camp and set off! ”

Everyone couldn't help but nod when they heard this.

Someone asked again: "General, does the lord of Tibet also live in the palace?" How does the palace where he lived compare to the palace where our emperor lived? ”

Zhao Ziliang said with a smile: "Tubo Zampu does not live in the palace, the Tubo people have a city house but do not live, live in the camp outside the city, the residence of Tubo Zampu is called Da Fu Lu, it is a huge camp tent, five zhang high, can accommodate hundreds of people, and is heavily guarded. The Tibetan people live in Xiaofulu! ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh a little when they heard this, and Ma Lan couldn't help but smile and asked: "General, this Tubo people have cities and houses to live in, but they live in tents in the wilderness, isn't this a brain disease?" No wonder the sentry said that there was no one in Heihe City, and that their cities and houses were for decoration."

The others laughed when they heard it: "Hahaha······".

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and smiled: "Actually, it's nothing, when Her Royal Highness Princess Wencheng married Tubo, the Tubo people did not have cities and houses, but after the princess married, she brought the construction, technology, farming, silkworm, medicine, cooking, winemaking, paper and ink and other technologies of our dynasty, and the Tubo people envied the culture of our dynasty, so they began to learn to build cities and houses, but although they learned the art of construction, after all, their ancestors have lived in tents in the wilderness, and it is not easy to change this custom in a short time. Therefore, more than 100 years have passed, and most of the Tibetan people still live in tents in the wilderness, even the Tubo lord is no exception."

After a burst of laughter, Ma Lan turned the topic back to his next action and asked, "General, where are we going next?" ”

Zhao Ziliang pointed to the northeast direction and said: "Tanggula Pass is not able to go back, the Tubo army will definitely intercept us in the middle of the road, but it is not easy for them to recapture Tanggula Pass, tomorrow morning, the whole army will set off to the northeast of the Yue'er Valley all the way to the northeast, along the road where Princess Wencheng came, through the Chawula Pass, the hometown of the Dongnu Kingdom (Yushu area), cross the Yak River (now Tongtian River), and then capture the Purple Mountain Pass (Bayan Kala Pass), cross the Yellow River, the Liemo Sea (now the Kara Sea), Warm Springs and Nalu Station (now Heunghae River Dam)! ”

Ma Xuan said: "General, what if the follow-up people can't catch up tonight?" That's nine hundred, do you want to abandon them? ”

When leaving the Kunlun Pass and Tanggula Pass, Zhao Ziliang left three hundred and six hundred cavalry respectively to wait for the follow-up infantry to come to garrison, they could only wait for the follow-up infantry to arrive before they could catch up with the main force in front, and the speed of the follow-up infantry was much slower, you must know that Princess Wencheng's dowry team set off from Chang'an to Luo but walked for a whole year, although the marching speed of the infantry is not comparable to the speed of the princess's dowry team, but if you want to keep up with the cavalry team in a very short time, I am afraid it is not an easy thing! ”

Zhao Ziliang said with a smile: "Don't worry, General Ben has long considered the possibility that they may not be able to arrive as scheduled, so when he left, he instructed them separately, if the infantry could not arrive within three days, they would continue to stay, and after the infantry arrived to take over the garrison, they would return to Bailan from the same way."

In the early morning of March 28, more than 1,700 horsemen of the Tang army under the leadership of Zhao Ziliang marched northeast through the Gechuan Post of the Heihe River, and advanced in the opposite direction along the road when Princess Wencheng's wedding party came.

The movement of the Tubo people was a step slower, and Zhu Dan and Ku Dayan thought that Zhao Ziliang was bold enough to directly lead troops to attack Luo, but they miscalculated, just when they were deploying troops to strengthen Luo's defensive forces, Zhao Ziliang took the Tang army and went straight to the Chawula Pass.

Along the way, several Tibetan camps were eliminated, and on the morning of March 29, Zhao Ziliang's troops encountered a 2,000-strong Tibetan army at the foot of the Chawula Pass, which was all infantry, and all of them looked tired, demoralized, and dressed in tatters, if they were not holding weapons in their hands, Zhao Ziliang thought that they had encountered a large group of refugees.

The two sides met in this way under the Chawula Pass, facing each other a mile apart, Zhao Ziliang quickly thought that the two thousand Tubo troops were defeated by the remnants of the Tubo army who withdrew from the south of Dafeichuan, and they should have been beaten like this by Huangfu Weiming, the envoy of Longyou Jiedu! ”

After seeing through the identity of this remnant of the defeated general, Zhao Ziliang did not hesitate, and immediately waved his troops to attack, although the high-intensity march lasted for a day and night, but at dawn he still rested for two hours, and the soldiers recovered some of their physical strength and spirit, what is there to worry about in the face of these remnants of defeat at this time?

The attack was completely crushing, and the Tubo generals couldn't control their subordinates who had lost their fighting spirit and courage, and Zhao Ziliang led his troops to charge like Rong breaking a piece of tofu, instantly dispersing the 2,000-strong Tubo rout again.

The next thing was to chase and kill, and after an hour, hundreds of people fled into Tanggula Mountain, most of the others were killed, and a small number surrendered, but Zhao Ziliang did not plan to flee with the captives, so he ordered to kill all the hundreds of captives, and the soldiers were killed on the Chawula Pass in one go.

Captured the Chawula Pass, Zhao Ziliang felt much more relaxed, he absolutely did not believe that the Tubo people in the Yushu area would know that there was a Tang army behind them, as long as he led this army to kill all the way from the back of the Tubo people in the Yushu area, the Tubo people in front of them would definitely be defeated, because they still had a large-scale attack by the Tang army of Longyou Road in front of them, and in the case of being attacked by the enemy on the back of the abdomen, any army would not be able to hold on and be defeated.
