Chapter 137 5 New Agreements

Gesang is not so much that he chose to renegotiate with Wang Hanxin and a result, but that he has no other choice. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info At the moment he has no food and grass on hand, and the army will not be able to continue. Advancing is a desperate net, and in the end, he either suffered heavy casualties and took the Flying Eagle Castle, or his entire army was wiped out under the city; If you retreat, you will definitely be defeated, and the army will completely collapse, or even mutiny. Obviously, these results are what Gesang does not want to see. But at this moment, Wang Hanxin gave Gesang a choice, that is, the country of silk could fund the grain and grass for his return army, so withdrawing the army would become a better choice. Although there is a sense of frustration that Wang Hanxin is leading him by the nose, at least this is the return of the whole army, which is obviously better than the great injury of vitality and even the defeat of the army. Of course, he can also kill Wang Hanxin, but since this person dares to come to him, it means that he is fully prepared, if he kills this person on impulse, then it is equivalent to cutting off the only way for the 200,000 army to survive.

Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood. No matter how important the Eagle Castle is, to put it bluntly, it is just a fortress that can't be moved. If his 200,000 men were lost here, or worse, if he died outside this small fortress, then the unified Tibet that he had worked so hard to build would fall apart again. The lesser of two evils, the only thing to let go of now is your own dignity. Gesang admonished himself in his heart.

But this is easier said than done, after all, the result of this is to break the myth of undefeated business that you have single-handedly run. failed to achieve the purpose of this trip, and no matter how much you cover it up, you can't block the mouths of Youyou.

Just when Gesang hesitated in his heart, Wang Hanxin spoke again: "My country and Tibet are friendly states, and the two countries should always be united in friendship. To be honest, if this can be done between the two countries, then the value of this Eagle Fort will not matter. At present, your army is in trouble, and our army should help with all its might, but according to the following, it seems that the garrison in this Flying Eagle Fort is still full of problems, and if you can't carefully screen good and evil, I'm afraid there will be mistakes again. It is better to let the Eagle Castle be returned to your country after a detailed investigation. Otherwise, if there is any problem again, it will be difficult to explain it to His Majesty the Emperor of our country. I don't know what Zampu wants? ā€

When Gesang heard this, he had to smile bitterly and said, "Why is Lord Wang so polite? Since your lord said that there will be friendship between our two countries for generations to come, what does it matter whether this Flying Eagle Castle is under the jurisdiction of our country or your country? As you can see, at the moment, our army is too busy to take care of itself, and it is indeed inconvenient to consider sending troops to the Flying Eagle Castle anymore. It's the same if your country can manage it on your behalf, our two countries are both vast, so why bother so much about this small land? You say, don't you, Lord Wang? ā€

Wang Hanxin hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Zan Pu really understands righteousness!" Since Zampu is entrusted, Wang does not dare to refuse, so he will temporarily govern the Flying Eagle Castle for Zampu! ā€

Gesang looked at the young military general of the Silk Country again. Wang Hanxin's age is too young, and he climbed to the highest rank of military generals in the Silk Country at the age of less than thirty, which is a mythical story in itself. And today he finally understood the methods of this young man, he was able to anticipate the enemy's opportunity, quietly arranged the plan step by step, played himself around, and after the matter was completed, he pretended to be innocent to negotiate with himself, and in his words he was clever, and he insisted on describing the hostile behavior of the two countries as a good scene of mutual assistance between the two sides, which not only saved some face for himself, but also directed the matter to the situation that was most favorable to him, and this person's ability, means, and courage exceeded his expectations. What's even more infuriating is that this person was born with a pleasing appearance, and the more Gesang looked at it, the more he felt that he couldn't hate this person.

At this time, the hatred and anger in Gesang's heart gradually faded, and he couldn't help but smile, and said: "The lonely king finally saw the demeanor of Wang Hanxin, the world-famous general of the expedition to the west, today, and it really deserves its reputation." ā€

Wang Hanxin also laughed and said, "Praise Pu is false." Zampu's way of using troops also amazes Zaixia, no wonder you can run thousands of miles in the ice and snow to attack the Niutouyan fortress and pacify Tibet in one fell swoop. ā€

Gesang shook his head and said, "Wouldn't Lord Wang be embarrassed when he said this?" The Lone King had a question, and asked Lord Wang to explain it for the Lone King. ā€

Wang Hanxin hurriedly said: "Although Zampu asks, he knows everything and says everything. ā€

Gesang asked: "I have not seen a single soldier of your army along the way, and all the roads leading to the Flying Eagle Fort should have soldiers of our army, how did your army cross our army to the rear of our army?" ā€

Wang Hanxin smiled slightly and said, "Zampu, you don't know, you can do this in the next place, it depends on the intelligence of that Boer general." From his mouth, he knew that there was a flying spirit trail that led to the garrison of your army. ā€

"Flying Spirit Trail? Didn't that road fall into disuse a hundred years ago? Besides, it's a road that only medicine pickers can walk, and ordinary people can't climb it. ā€

Wang Hanxin said: "What Zampu said is not bad. But the use of troops is expensive to take the enemy by surprise, and how can we not take risks in order to win? ā€

Gesang was like an initiation when he heard this, and now he finally figured out why he lost at the hands of Wang Hanxin. Because Wang Hanxin dared to do what he thought was impossible, and also made this impossible possible. As soon as this heart knot opened, Gesang's heart suddenly brightened, and he said: "The lonely king is a reluctant request, I don't know if Lord Wang can agree?" ā€

"Zampu has peace instructions, but if Wang Hanxin can do it, he will definitely try his best to help!"

"The lone king admires the general's insight and courage, and intends to become a brother with a different surname with you, I don't know what to do?"

Wang Hanxin hurriedly stood up and arched his hand when he heard this: "Zampu is so favored below, and he is terrified. Wang Hanxin was born in the end of the year, and he has to praise the hospitality, dare not obey the order? ā€

"That's the best."

Gesang immediately arranged for a blood alliance with Wang Hanxin, burned incense and bowed, and became brothers with different surnames.

At this point, a conflict between Tubo and the Silk Kingdom caused by the ownership of the Flying Eagle Fort has finally been resolved. In this dispute, the Silk Country can be said to have taken advantage of it, not only getting such an important fortress as Flying Eagle Fort for nothing, but also getting a military general like Bull and 10,000 soldiers. The Tibetan side lost a large amount of grain and materials and thousands of soldiers, but according to the official version, these losses had nothing to do with the country of silk, but were caused by rebellious soldiers, and the country of silk also gave a large amount of grain and grass to help the Tubo army return smoothly. At least on the surface, the two sides did not tear their skins and still maintained an alliance relationship.

Of course, this incident also had an additional consequence, that is, the Tibetan Zampu Gesang and Wang Hanxin formed brothers with different surnames. As for why Gesang made this request, it has attracted the speculation of many later historians, among which the mainstream theory is that Gesang hopes to find a step for himself through the fact of swearing with Wang Hanxin - since they are brothers, then naturally they can no longer use swords. However, there are other factions who believe that Gesang's move is due to the perception of Wang Hanxin's strength and boldness, hoping to divide the relationship between Wang Hanxin and the emperor Liu Yan through the act of worship, so that Liu Yan suspects that Wang Hanxin has the possibility of secretly communicating with Tibet, so he began to be suspicious of him, and transferred him away from Shannan Province, so as to open up the situation for himself to go east again.

Regardless of the purpose of Gesang himself's marriage with Wang Hanxin, the agreement he made with Wang Hanxin still set off a storm in Chang'an, the capital of the Silk Country, which was obviously not in Gesang's plan.
