When Li Jie and his son arrived at the front army, thousands of generals had gathered to watch, and they rushed thousands of miles to crusade against Tibet, but the Tubo people came directly to surrender without waiting for the official war.

Not only the generals of Damin, but also the guilt of Mangsong Mangzan's guilt was quite high-profile, and even the generals surnamed Zhaowu Jiu who came to help fight more than 20 small countries were also alarmed, and all kinds of birds and beasts were placed at the gate of the camp, hundreds of privileges and nobles, and the Tocharian chieftain also desperately stretched his neck and looked inward desperately.

Mangsong Mangzan's humble end was very done, the luxurious Zampu leather jacket was taken off and thrown aside, put on the ragged sheepskin clothes that only slaves worn, and I don't know which slave plucked it off, exuding a strong stench, a pair of eyes were crying like a peach, and rusty iron chains were wrapped around his arms, and he knelt tremblingly in front of the Damin military camp with a dozen or so retinues who were also wearing tattered clothes.

This time it was not as reluctant as the last time when he knelt down at the state banquet of Fujian, Mangsong Mangzan completely stuck himself on the ground, kowtowing on the one hand, and shouting King Min with a crying voice, a monarch of another country did this, and the onlookers around him were extremely proud.

The majesty of my Damin monarch is unmatched!

However, Li Jie, who came out of the camp under the forbidden army, looked at the pitiful scene of Mangsong Mangzan, but he was not in a good mood at all.

One is Goujian, the king of Yue in the Spring and Autumn Period in the East, and the other is Emperor Henry IV three hundred years later in the West.

Needless to say, after being defeated and captured, in order to deceive Wu Wangfu's trust, he used such ruthless tricks as eating feces, and endured humiliation to the extreme, and finally destroyed Wu in one fell swoop, becoming the overlord of Jiangnan and one of the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period.

In the 11th century, at the height of European power, Henry IV fought to the death with his lifelong enemy, Pope Gregory VII, over the appointment of bishops.

At the beginning of the game, it was indeed the Pope's banner that was high, and Gregory VII's excommunication decree made the princes in Germany have two minds to set up another emperor, and at the same time, Henry IV, who had just ascended the throne for a few years, had an unstable foundation, and the commoners and the small knight class did not support him, and in desperation, Henry IV made an unexpected move.

Known as Canossa's penance, Henry IV led only a few dozen retinues of his family across the Alps as emperor, and stood barefoot and dressed in thin clothes for three days in the cold winter moon, begging the pope for forgiveness for his sins.

You must know that the early Holy See relied on the support of the Holy Roman Empire to survive after the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, and Henry's ancestors could even depose the Pope wantonly, but now this move, Henry completely knocked the emperor's head to the ground

Three days later, due to the pressure of public opinion and the inability of the canon lord to refuse anyone who repented, Pope Gregory VII intervened to forgive Henry.

This incident seems to have pushed the Holy See to the pinnacle of power, completely above the head of the secular emperor king, but in fact it is not so simple, Henry IV, who hated the Holy See deeply, had to save his life, strength, and occupy the initiative of public opinion, Henry IV regained the support of the people, and relied on policies to bring benefits to the people to win the hearts of the people, successively eradicated all the nobles who betrayed him, and defeated the opposition nobles to replace him, the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolph, Duke of Swabia.

When Gregory VII sensed that something was wrong and issued a second order to expel Henry IV for his mission, the Kaiser once again traveled through the Alps to Rome, but this time he was not just a few dozen retinues, but also thousands of loyal troops.

The Holy Roman Emperor* conquered the city of Rome, Henry IV became close to Pope Clement III, and Gregory VII died in exile.

Now Li Jie's mood is exactly the same as that of Gregory VII outside Canossa Castle.

Tubo is almost finished, there is no reinforcement supply outside, and the people inside are scattered, even if he does not attack, almost more than 200,000 Central Asian coalition troops can surround him, and the Tubo people are heroes on the plateau, and they are not much stronger than Xiongbao on the plain.

But now Mangsong Mangzan went to the Great Min Army in person to apologize in such a low profile, and in full view of everyone, if the Great Min insists on attacking Tubo and killing Mangsong Mangzan, then it will be too brutal and lose morality.

Don't say that the spirit of Confucius and Mencius and Confucian benevolence are useless, China can rule East Asia for so many years, although there are reasons why the Han people have a large population and strong strength, but the rule of benevolence and righteousness, Ze is not one of them, so that the surrounding countries of China are willing to submit to the Central Plains Dynasty and accept the glory and profits brought to them by civilization, this reputation of benevolence and righteousness is more similar to soft power.

Although the strength of the Great Min is strong, but after all, a country has a limit, Central Asia is the homeland of Sogdia, Tocharian, Yue clan and other tribes, the Min people are a minority, once the countries are centrifuged, there is no need to fight the rule of the Great Min in the river will collapse, in the words of Uncle Li, the people's hearts are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead.

However, even if Mangsong Mangzan bowed his head so enduringly, Li Jie still didn't intend to let him pass easily, hugging his shoulders, Li Jie was very arrogant and hurriedly rushed to his feet Tubo Zampu went around a few circles, before he sneered and snorted.

"Don't dare to be! How can this king be able to receive the 100,000 troops of Tubo Zampu to greet me, invade my rivers and mountains, and surround my prince? ”

Suddenly bowed down, Li Jie stared at Mangsong Mangzan's eyes with a fierce gaze, and asked sharply and meanly: "If you don't come alone, I'm afraid that Zampu will go all the way south, break my prince's army, and make my mountains and rivers change color, and the wind and clouds will be turbulent!"

Close to Mangsong Mangzan's ear, Li Jie's voice was mocking, and he said coldly: "Don't think that those things between Zampu and Chang'an, you don't know!"

Except for the last sentence, Li Jie came out of the reproach of the public, even if Mangsong Mangzan came to apologize so humiliatingly, it was a fact that he invaded Damin and attacked the prince before, and he must not be so easily ignored in the past!

Listening to Li Jie's questioning, many of the nearby Damin soldiers became hateful again, fighting thousands of miles away, but they were stabbed in the back, and anyone would hate them so much that they gritted their teeth.

Moreover, the Tibetan invasion had indeed harmed the interests of other Sogdian states in the Transoxianan region, and the sympathy and sorrow for the death of the rabbit and the fox had obviously faded a lot, and a large group of Sogdian monarchs and nobles were also staring at Mangsong's back with hostility.

Listening to Li Jie's cold words, Mangsong Mangzan panicked all of a sudden, because what Li Jie said was the truth, especially his collusion with Chang'an, King Min also knew that although he came from the same source, Jingshi is now obviously incompatible with Chang'an, and listening to Li Jie's meaning, it seems that he is going to completely eradicate himself.

The ambition and majesty on weekdays disappeared without a trace, and at this moment, looking at Li Jie's pair of boots standing in front of him, Mangsong Mangzan didn't have the slightest resistance except fear, and he trembled and kowtowed to the ground.

Since they dared to instigate Zampu to apologize in person, the Tubo people were a little prepared, and following Mangsong Mangzan's side, Wei Shatuo hurriedly knelt on the ground and crawled forward, holding a Fujian-style official document high in both hands in front of Li Jie, kowtowing like pounding garlic and begging.

"Your Majesty, Zampu has been wronged!"

"In April of the second year of Kaiyuan, the Dongcao people rebelled and plotted to attack the capital of the Protectorate in the middle of the Damin River, and the Governor of the Protectorate Guanhe Dong Dayi repaired the book to transfer the Tubo soldiers to suppress the rebellion, and Zampu was the lord of the Damin in-laws.

"Nonsense!"

Before Wei Shatuo finished speaking, the crown prince Li Jin had already rushed out in a rage, and the halberd pointed at Wei Shatuo and scolded angrily: "In this case, why did Tubo take my Hengros City for more than two months and not return it?" And today he also waved his army south, besieging the lone army array, which is clearly harboring evil intentions, and today His Majesty is coming, you still dare to talk nonsense in front of you, how brazen! ”

Attacking the crown prince is a serious crime in all dynasties, no matter how he apologizes, it is enough to be executed, Li Jin's roar made the officers of Damin even more angry, and some even clenched their swords and knelt on the ground, and shouted pleadingly.

"Tubo is a great crime, please kill it Your Majesty!"

Although some of the lords surnamed Zhaowu were reluctant to deal with any lord at will, they also had nothing to say.

But just when Li Jie nodded with satisfaction and wanted to push the boat down the river, Wei Shatuo kowtowed to the ground again.

"Your Majesty, Zan Puqi is wronged!"

"Thanks to the favor of the Celestial Empire, the county lord of the morning dawn and I Zan Pu and kiss, Zan Pu was overjoyed, personally bathed and burned incense in Heng Ross City to wait for the arrival of the county lord of the Celestial Empire, but there was a villain who took advantage of my Tubo to welcome the peace team back to Heng Rus, seized the county lord, and fled south."

"Zampu guards the county lord of the Heavenly Dynasty, so he will be dizzy and wave his army south to pursue the Xiao Xiao bandits, this move is completely out of loyalty to Damin, as for besieging the prince, it is really a mistake!"

"At that time, the bandits fled into the mountains, and His Royal Highness the Prince's army blocked the way, Zampu thought that he was an accomplice of the bandits, and now it seems that there must be someone who is trying to provoke the war of Fujian and Tubo, in order to make profits, this matter is seen with his own eyes by Xiao Shengxiao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the Heavenly Dynasty, and can testify for Tubo, King Shengming of Fujian, don't let the villain be divided!"

Wei Shatuo's Tang language is really good, almost crying blood, coincidentally, it happened that Lao Xiao Sheng also led the forbidden army to come over in the afternoon, and at this time he also followed Li Jie out of the camp, the old man was used to etiquette, and he also followed out of the class when he heard this, and bowed to Li Jie.

"Your Majesty, what the minister of Tubo said is true, there are indeed people who have plundered the peace team."

Glancing at the letter that Wei Shatuo came across, Old Xiao Sheng opened it again and glanced at it, and then nodded with certainty.

"Your Majesty, this is indeed the news of the Protectorate of the River."

Listening to Lao Xiao Sheng's testimony, Li Jie and Li Jin rolled their eyes almost at the same time. Xiao Shangshu, are you a Tang or a Tubo! What about the net elbow turned outward?
