Chapter Ninety-Four: The Fall of Tibet
He knew very well that this was the beginning of the Tang army's disintegration of his army, and it was the Tang army's final blow to Tibet. Driven by hunger, Tubo would surrender to the Tang army, and his army would soon cease to exist, and at that time, that is, when Tubo would fall.
He saw it clearly, but he was helpless, because he had no power to stop it.
In this situation, Tubo could not see any hope, even the slightest bit, the military spirit had long been gone, and it would be impossible for them not to betray Tubo.
Zuzan's idea was very correct, and this was the last blow of the Tang army to Tubo. Li Changguo vetoed the request of Li Sheng and the generals to open a big battle, that is, to use this soft method to clean up Tibet, which was enough.
In the past, Li Changguo did not do this, it was because the time was not ripe, Tubo still had strength, and there were many people, if the Tang army accepted their surrender, it would be a big trouble.
Five or six hundred thousand Tibetans surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and let them go, knowing that there would be no more trouble. If they are killed, it will shake the world again, and Li Changguo and they will definitely be impeached. No matter what is done, it is not in the interests of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Li Changguo did not accept the surrender of Tibet, and used food to make Tibet kill each other.
At present, there is no need to go on, because 300,000 Tibetans surrendered, and the Tang army can still control it.
These Tubo entered the camp of the Tang army, and soon appeared on the wall of the wall, they rushed to the wine and meat like hungry wolves, eating meat and drinking wine, like a wind and clouds, and in a short time, the wine and meat here were eaten up.
It doesn't matter, the Tang army brought a lot of wine and meat and placed it on the wall, and these Tubo people pounced on it and ate Haisai again.
"Tell them, is it delicious?" Ge Shuhan waved his hand and ordered these Tibetans.
"It's delicious, it's delicious. This is the best barbecue and the best barley wine I have ever tasted in my life. "Tubo has long been starved and dried, not to mention the barbecue meat roasted by the Tang Army, it is raw meat, they will also think it is delicious, it is a rare delicacy in the world, and they all respond loudly.
"What are you waiting for? He did not lay down his arms and came to eat meat and drink wine. Li Changguo waved his hand, and the loud Tang Jun roared again.
With the experience of the past, the Tubo people in front really had meat to eat and wine to drink, and the last bit of doubt in Tubo was gone, and they all threw down their weapons and rushed towards the Tang army camp.
There were too many people, like a surging tide, going forward and successively, crowding people, shoulder-to-shoulder, and soon blocked the door of the Tang military camp.
"Lined up, lined up, one by one. It's easy to squeeze, some are meat to eat, and some are wine to drink. The Tang army hurriedly rushed out of the camp to maintain order.
Tubo hasn't eaten meat and drank wine for a long time, so where can I manage those now, just squeeze it.
The Tang army had no choice but to take thunderous measures to pull out the people who were squeezed hard, and shouted at the Tubo people: "You can see clearly, he doesn't listen to the orders of the Tang Dynasty, not only does he have no meat to eat, but he also has to apologize." Die. "The hands were raised and the swords fell, the heads were thrown away, and these people died.
With this, the Tubo people were afraid, so they had to line up obediently under the command of the Tang army, and they did not dare to come out.
Outside the gate of each Tang army's camp was a long line, like a long dragon, and the Tubo stretched their necks one by one, urging them vigorously to get in as soon as possible.
This time, the Tubo, who entered the Tang army camp, no longer climbed the wall to eat meat and drink wine, but were escorted by the Tang army to the camp specially prepared for them.
Here, there were not only the Tang army, but also the slaves, who, when they heard that the Tang army needed help, all of them rushed over happily to help with the barbecue and help take care of the captives.
Of course, it was impossible for the Tang army to give the captives a lot of meat, let alone let them be fed. With so many people, once they have eaten and drunk enough and regained their strength, I don't know if they will make trouble. Once there is trouble, although Tang Jun is not afraid, he is also troublesome. Rather than wasting their hands and feet then, it's not that they won't be fed right now.
Tubo saw that there was only half a catty of meat, and couldn't help but shout: "It's too little, too little, not enough to eat, come more, come more." Give more, give more. ”
They have been hungry for too long, and half a pound of meat is in their stomachs, which arouses the hunger fire, which is even more unbearable, or they can't scream.
However, their shouting was the beginning of their nightmare, and before the Tang army could speak, the slaves had already jumped over, and the boss's fist beckoned to the captives: "Be a prisoner, don't think that you are ancestors." Instead of feeding you, you should feed the dogs. ”
The fists rained down on the captives, and the captives cried out, but the slaves had no pity at all, and beat them even harder, pricking up their ears and listening to the screams of the captives, as if they were heavenly sounds.
These captives are mainly about the common people, their status is one level higher than that of slaves, and they have bullied slaves in peacetime, and the slaves have long hated them so much that their teeth itch, but they did not seize the opportunity to retaliate. Now the opportunity has come, these former noble people have now become prisoners, prisoners, it is a good opportunity for revenge, how can the slave miss such a good opportunity, all of them are trying to torture these captives.
"Why do we have so little meat, why do they have so much?" Although the captives were beaten in unbearable pain, they still remembered the food and argued loudly.
Those prisoners who ate and drank on the walled wall were used by the Tang army to propagandize, so that they could eat and drink enough to break the morale of the Tibetan army and make them lay down their arms and surrender. The goal of the Tang army has been achieved, and of course these prisoners will no longer be fed and drunk.
However, it became another phrase in the mouth of the slave: "They responded to the Tang army first, laid down their arms, and of course ate and drank well." You stupid pigs, who do you blame if you hesitate and miss the opportunity? ”
According to them, it is natural for Tang Jun to do this.
This is a justification, but the captives believe it and feel sorry for themselves: "I regret not responding to the Tang Army earlier." I'm wrong, I'm wrong, can you give me more meat? ”
"Hit, hit! But the prisoners, the lowly captives, still think that you are the ancestor and want to offer you to the shrine? The slaves beat harder, and the screams of the captives rang out one after another.
Even so, the Tubo people were still willing to surrender, although they could not eat enough, only half a catty of meat, which was better than nothing. At least, the surrender of the Don Army, there is still life. If you don't surrender, it's a dead word at once.
This surrender lasted for two days and two nights before it was completed.
When this was completed, at least 280,000 of the 300,000 Yefan people surrendered to the Tang army, and the remaining 10,000 were die-hard elements who resolutely refused to surrender.
Among the Tibetans who surrendered, many were Tibetan ministers. Among the Tibetan ministers, there were no surrenders, only the ministers of the big theory, the small theory, and the whole matter, and the total number of ministers was only about a dozen. The reason why they did not surrender was because his identity was there, and they had no good fruit to eat after surrendering to the Tang Army, so they became diehards.
More than 10,000 people, mainly forbidden troops. The forbidden army was the most elite army in Tibet, and they were the diehards of the Zuzan of Qide, and they would rather die than surrender.
Despite the loyalty of the Forbidden Army, many of them surrendered.
"Zampu, we'll cover you, run away." Big and small, they surround the Zuzan.
His hair had turned white, and his face had grown old, twenty years old at once, and he looked like an old man in his twilight years. The death of Tibet is already an irreversible fact, and the body and mind of the Emperor have suffered tremendous physical and mental trauma, and he will not be able to grow old.
"Poof!" He knelt down and kowtowed heavily, and every time he kowtowed, a wave of blood would rise, and he said loudly: "The most loyal warriors of the Great Tibet: I, thank you. I am a sinner in the Great Tibetan, it is I who brought the Great Tibetan into a desperate situation, I am ashamed of the ancestors and the ancestors, and I have no shame to see the ancestors under the Nine Springs. When the Great Tibet is over, you don't have to die in vain, you all run for your lives, go, go quickly. ”
At this moment, the Emperor Zuzan was discouraged, pulled out the scimitar, and wiped it at his neck, he would rather die than surrender.
"Zampu, no." In a panic, the ministers hurriedly grabbed it, and it took a lot of effort to snatch the scimitar down.
"Rumble!" At this moment, the door of the Tang army camp was opened, and a group of Tang troops came out of the camp and pressed towards them in a battle formation.
The leaders were Ge Shuhan and Li Changguo, Li Bai, Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Li Sheng, and a number of generals.
"To fall, or not to fall?" Geshuhan's roar was like thunder, and the sound rolled in.
"Drop?" Ji Dezuzan raised his eyebrows and jumped up from the ground, as if this word was a great insult to him: "Ge Shuhan, you must know that there are only Zampu who died in battle, and there is no Zampu who surrendered. ”
"If you don't fall, you will be defeated." Ge Shuhan snorted coldly, waved his hand, and led the Tang army to rush over.
"Warriors of Great Tibet, the last hour has come. We are born as the people of the Great Tibet, and death is the soul of the Great Tibetan, and we will never surrender and fight to the death! A blazing light shot out of his eyes, and he snatched the scimitar, and with a flick of his wrist, a beautiful knife flower flashed.
"Fight to the death!" The Tibetan ministers and the Tibetan army roared loudly.
Although they were hungry and weak, and their voices were hoarse, they roared like thunder, and they did not give in in the slightest.
He ran and rushed towards the Tang army, shouting with a scimitar as he rushed.
More than 10,000 Tibetan troops roared loudly and rushed towards the Tang army like a splash of wind. Their momentum is very strong, they really have the courage to die together, and they have the momentum to move forward, however, they are already at the end of their strong crossbows, and they have the strength to charge.
It didn't go far before someone fell to the ground and couldn't breathe anymore.
These Tibetan troops were like piles of straw that had been pushed down, and they were planted with all the brushes, and they never got up again.
"Although there is no lack of courage, it is ignorant of current affairs." Li Changguo sneered.
The Tang army did not have the slightest pity and rushed towards the Tibetan army. The Tibetan army was not the opponent of the Tang army at all, and it could not stop the footsteps of the Tang army at all, and it was quickly defeated.
The big argument, the small argument, and the whole thing are ...... These ministers are constantly being captured.
"It's over, it's over!" Ji Dezu looked up to the sky, sighed, and wiped the scimitar in his hand against his neck. However, with a pain in the wrist, the scimitar flew out of his hand.
I saw a tall young man standing beside him, looking at him, and coldly announced, "You have been captured." ”
"Tibet is gone!" Suddenly, an earth-shattering roar resounded through the sky.
