Chapter 134: Zampu's Death
After more than a hundred years, they finally defeated the Logos once and for all. It comes at a great cost, but it's well worth it.
After winning this battle, the kingdom of Zhangzhung will reappear on the plateau, and no one can stop it.
……
Listening to the cheers of the Xiangxiong people, the ruler belt Zhudan knew that the general trend had gone, and his mood was even more depressed. Fortunately, there are still tens of thousands of old and weak people in the back camp, and if you put it together, it is another large army, and maybe you can barely retreat to Luo.
The blood in the trench was almost knee-high, and Zhu Dan and several of his own soldiers fled in embarrassment, bowing their bodies and not daring to show their heads, lest they be discovered by the Tang people on a high place.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally reached the edge of the trench, and with the assistance of several personal soldiers, he barely climbed onto the grass, but the sound of horses' hooves sounded in his ears.
A team of iron horsemen wearing bright light armor galloped from nearby, and instantly surrounded the people of Zhu Dan in the middle. Zhu Dan's face changed miserably, several personal soldiers climbed up from the trench, roared angrily and rushed up, and several crossbow arrows flew out of the Tang army, shooting all of them to the ground.
A flickering Mo knife was pointed at him, and Tang Ren's face was full of mockery. Zhu Dan sighed and lowered his head heavily.
He couldn't figure out why he had lost so easily, but he knew he couldn't get back. fell into the hands of the Tang people, and I am afraid that I can only be a rich man in Chang'an in the future.
……
Things are planned carefully enough, and victory becomes extremely boring. The Tubo people attacked with all their troops, but they were completely defeated on the banks of the Shiquan River in just two days.
Ma Lu knew very well that the Xi Buye clan, which had ruled the Qiang people of all parts of the plateau for more than 100 years, was over.
Looking at the Tubo Zampu ruler with Zhu Dan who was tightly bound by the rope and stood in front of him, Ma Lan felt a little trance for a while, all this was like a dream.
Things are really ridiculous, the Tubo Empire, which has been competing with the Tang Dynasty for more than a hundred years, is actually about to fall apart?
Originally, his purpose in going to the high school this time was just to press a small nail in the north of Qiangtang to ensure the smooth passage of the Anxi army's march into the river.
If someone had said before going to the plateau that this march would cause the collapse of the Tibetan Empire, Ma Lu would never have believed it.
However, it is true, and this defeat will be fatal for the Sibuno clan. The Qiang people on the plateau were originally formed by the union of various powerful tribes, and they often fought for territory with each other, and without the Zampu family to press on it, this fragile empire would collapse in an instant.
Originally, the collapse of the Tibetan Empire was more than a hundred years later, at the hands of rebellious slaves, decades before the fall of the Tang Dynasty. Since the collapse of the Tibetan Empire, until the time of Ma Luan, there has never been a truly unified and powerful empire on the plateau. After the end of the Tibetan Empire, the Qiang people on the plateau soon reverted to a state of ignorance.
And now, Ma Lan's fortuitous march has advanced this process by more than a hundred years. At this moment, Ma Lan couldn't help but think of the Persian slave who died in his hands. Bo Silin couldn't help but sigh that his luck was too good.
The world is like this, history is never really inevitable, it is the countless accidents that make up history.
Just like the current prosperous Tang Dynasty, if anyone says that the Tang Dynasty will suddenly decline due to a rebellion in a few years, the Tang people will definitely think that he is crazy.
As strong as the Tang Dynasty, it will also be cut in half because of an accidental rebellion, so it seems that it is not incomprehensible that his march caused the collapse of the Tubo Empire.
……
Han Wu and Li An stood behind the ruler with Zhu Dan, and the expressions on their faces were extremely excited. This time I caught Tubo Zampu, who has a higher status than the marshal of Dashi caught in the river, how can I go back this time to talk about meritorious deeds and rewards.
Standing in front of Ma Lan, he looked at Ma Lan viciously, like a mad beast. This guy killed his only son, and he brought a large army to avenge his son, but he didn't expect to suffer such a fiasco.
The Tang army just relied on a city and those damned trenches, and there was no loss at all, and he was defeated, defeated to the ground, and defeated inexplicably.
This defeat is the loss of everything. In his heart, there is too much unwillingness at this moment.
"If you have anything to say, if you don't say it now, you may not have a chance to say it in the future." Ma Lan took a deep breath, calmed down his agitated mood, and looked at the ruler with Zhu Dan and said lightly.
Zhu Dan was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "What did you say?" You despicable fellow, I'm Tubo Zampu, do you dare to kill me? ”
"In the hands of so-and-so, do you think you can still live?" Ma Lan smiled slightly.
"Tang people, you don't dare to kill me! I am the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty and the relative of my nephew, even if I am sent to Chang'an, the son of heaven will definitely not kill me, and maybe he will let me go back to Luo! When I get back to Logos, I'll put my troops in order and fight you again!" Zhu Dan roared angrily, and the official words were clear and smooth.
Ma Luan frowned slightly, looked at several staff members and said, "Is this possible?" ”
Duan Xiushi thought for a moment, nodded and said, "It's really possible." ”
Cen Shen smiled: "He is exaggerating. It is very possible that the Son of Heaven will not kill him, but if you say that you will let him go back, this possibility is very small. Unless the Son of Heaven is deceived by traitors, how can he let the tiger return to the mountain? That is, for the sake of Princess Jincheng's face, let him be a rich man in Chang'an. ”
Ma Lan squinted and nodded, "Are traitors blinded?" In this way, there is a little possibility. ”
Du Huan nodded and said in a deep voice: "This matter must not be careless. At the beginning, Yang Ju accepted some bribes from the Tubo people, so he tried to cut the land of Jiuqu for Tang Muyi, the princess of Jincheng, and the Son of Heaven allowed it, but it caused a big trouble because of this matter, and in the past 40 years, he has lost the lives of many Han family sons and daughters in order to compete for the source of the river! Now that the traitors above the court are on the road, what impossible things are on the court, it is very possible. ”
Ma Lan nodded, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his gaze when he looked at the ruler with Zhu Dan.
"Tangren, what are you going to do? I have descended, do you dare to lynch me? Qi Dai Zhu Dan looked at Ma Luan, a trace of fear suddenly rose in his heart, and he roared.
Ma Lan smiled indifferently, a cold light flashed in his hand, and the horizontal knife that had killed countless heroes had already pointed at the neck of the ruler Zhu Dan.
Han Wu and Li An glanced at each other, and they all let go of Zhu Dan's arm and stood away.
The sharp blade trembled slightly, and a thin red mark appeared under the neck of the ruler bead pill, and blood came out. The ruler belt Zhudan was shocked and involuntarily retreated backwards.
Ma Ling sneered and took two steps closer, and the blade reached the neck of the ruler bead pill again, drawing a thin mark again. Qi Dai Zhu Dan took two steps back and shouted angrily: "Tang people, you dare to kill me!" I am the husband of Princess Jincheng, and you dare to kill me! ”
"There's no way, a dead Zampu can make a certain family feel at ease. Otherwise, if you want to send troops to take revenge, how can General Ben sleep peacefully? Ma Xuan sneered and forced forward with a horizontal knife again.
The ruler belt Zhudan was extremely frightened, and involuntarily took two steps back, and suddenly stepped into the air, knowing that something was wrong in his heart, and wanted to stabilize his center of gravity, but he was hit hard again.
With a terrified roar, he fell from the city, falling heavily to the ground with his head and feet. The height of the city wall of the surrendered city was more than four zhang, and the feet with Zhu Dan's hands were tied and could not be supported, and this drop was extremely real.
Li Gongbu, the king of Zhangxiong under the city, stepped forward quickly, turned over the ruler belt bead pill, touched the ruler belt bead pill's snort, and shouted loudly towards the city: "General, it's dead!" ”
Ma Ling could see it clearly, the head of the ruler Zhu Dan was knocked on a stone, needless to say that he couldn't survive, and Li Gongbu was completely redundant.
The Zhangxiong cavalry under the city thundered with joy, raising their spears and shouting the name of General Ma Xuan, the ancestor of the protector god of war. Ma Lan put away the horizontal knife, looked at several henchmen and said with a smile: "This is what he fell to death himself, no wonder I am." In the future, if you go to Chang'an to start a lawsuit, you will have to testify for a certain family. ”
Several people nodded with a smile, and Duan Xiushi sighed with emotion: "The general is a true hero, if he is replaced by someone else, he may not dare to do so." Our Anxi army and the Tubo people have been fighting for a hundred years, and today in the hands of the general, they have finally avenged their blood revenge. In the future, if someone troubles the general over this matter, which of the tens of thousands of athletes in our Anxi Army can tolerate him! ”
Ma Lan smiled and said: "The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and it may not be impossible to resurrect." Now that the Zuzan is dead, the Sibuye clan is completely broken, and only in this way can I rest assured. ”
Several Zhangxiong men carried the body of the ruler with Zhudan from under the city wall, and Li Gongpo followed behind. The staff looked at the corpse of the ruler with Zhudan, and they were all extremely emotional.
Zampu, who ascended the throne in his infancy and has been a member of the Tang Dynasty for nearly 50 years, has been defeated many times in battles with the Tang Dynasty, but after all, he is also a generation of famous kings. Now he died like this, and he couldn't even get a whole corpse.
With this death, the Sibuye clan broke off the inheritance. Because of his belief in Buddhism, the relationship between him and the ministers was not harmonious, and now he has died here, and I don't know how many princes will take advantage of the situation. In the future, on the Qiangtang Plateau, it will be extremely lively.
Duan Xiushi called over a few Anxi athletes and carried them down with a corpse wrapped in a Xizhou Dalian with a beaded pill. This is a symbol of the merits of the Anxi army, and it is necessary to take a head and send it to Chang'an.
Li Gongbu looked respectful, looked at Ma Lan and said respectfully: "General, how to deal with the old and weak people of those Luo people?" ”
Ma Lan glanced at Li Gongbu and knew that he couldn't wait to annex the Qiang people who had come with the ruler with Zhudan.
This is a common thing on the plateau, the population represents the strength, and the Xiangxiong people suffered heavy losses after a bloody battle this time, so they naturally wanted to replenish the people. However, without Ma Lan's order, Li Gongbu naturally did not dare to act without permission.
The Zhangxiong people will be allies in the future, and it is impossible not to give them any benefit. The main force of the ruler belt Zhudan was completely wiped out, but there were still tens of thousands of old and weak people in the rear camp, and these people naturally needed to be dealt with.
Ma Ling pointed to the tents of the Luo people in the distance, and said lightly: "The Subi tribe and the Dangxiang tribe have surrendered to my Tang Dynasty, and the old and weak of these two tribes are not allowed to move without permission, and it seems that they sent people." The rest of the women and children of the Bailan and Tuyuhun tribes are old and weak, and you can take them by yourself. All the clansmen of the Xibuye clan, the Wulu clan, and the Wei clan are all killed, and no one is allowed to stay! As for sheep, horses, yaks, and other things, no matter which tribe takes them all, only seventy percent of my army will be kept, and the remaining thirty percent will be given to you.
