Zhu Xie Jielie knew the story behind this name, and was completely immersed in the joy of being given the surname Han, and kowtowed again and again to thank him, "Thank you for the surname given by the guard, the small one will be called Lu Chaoran in the future, and the small one will let the whole clan change his surname to Lu after he goes back!" ”

At this time, he completely relieved his heart, since the Lord Shou gave him a surname, it means that Datang has no intention of completely destroying Shatuo, and he and his clan can be regarded as saving their lives this time.

However, in this battle, Shatuo lost a lot of young and strong cattle, sheep and horses, and the most important thing is that even half of the grassland was taken away, and it was a little difficult to feed the clansmen in the future.

Kang Guangde and others moved to live in Puzihai, and their original territory was left, but how many dingkou can those Gobi deserts support? Zhu Xie Jielie, oh no, it's Lu Chaoran who can't look down on these.

"Now you just changed your Han surname, if you fight well in the future, this Shou can also make you a real Tang people!" Shen Long took out the Datang green card again to fool people.

Hearing this, Kang Guangde and the others puffed up their chests one after another, what happened to you being given the surname Han? It's not that you have to queue up slowly, we have already fought two battles, as long as we don't retreat from one more battle to the death, we can become candidates for the Han Navy, which is too far ahead of you, and we will definitely be able to become the people of the Tang Dynasty earlier than you.

Lu Chaoran thanked him again, then cut his palm and swore a blood oath, swearing that he would be loyal to Datang and obey Datang's orders, and then came to the bonfire and performed a song and dance for Shen Long and them.

After defeating Shatuo, Shen Long and they stayed near Yizhou for a few days, it would take time to go to the Shatuo tribe to find the lost Tang soldiers, Kang Guangde and they would also need time to move the tribe from the Gobi Desert to the Pu Sea, and Jieyugas would also use this time to consider the next plan.

Shen Long used this time to start sorting out the situation of his opponent now, he guessed that Jie Yugas might have to go out on his own next, he had no opinion at all, Datang recaptured Yizhou and Tingzhou, and it would take some time to completely digest it, and they were now short of manpower, and there was no more spare strength to expand externally, so it was good to let Jie Yugas fight.

If they can defeat Tubo, it will also be good for themselves and the Tang Dynasty, after all, the biggest enemy of the Tang Dynasty and Shen Long is Tubo, and the greater the loss of Tubo, the happier Shen Long will be, and the easier it will be to reopen the road to the Tang Dynasty from Hexi and Longyou in the future.

Today's Tibet is under the rule of the 37th Tsangpu Trisong Detsen, who is considered a British lord, along with the famous 33rd Zampu Songtsen Gampo and the future 41st Trizu Detsen.

Since Songtsen Gampo, Tubo has absorbed the advanced Tang Dynasty culture, growing stronger and stronger, gradually expanding its power, fighting the Tang Dynasty in the east, attacking the Great Food in the west, attacking the Western Regions of Hexi and Longyou in the north, and even attacking Chang'an.

However, a large part of the advantages of Tubo come from the plateau where they are located, the plateau allows the Tubo people to have sufficient strategic depth, and the towering mountains on the plateau and altitude sickness have become a natural barrier to protect Tubo.

Altitude sickness made the Tang soldiers living in low-altitude areas suffer from a sharp reduction in combat effectiveness as soon as they went to the plateau, and it was difficult to transport grain and grass, resulting in the Tang Dynasty being unable to cut the grass and eradicate the roots like dealing with the Turks.

Although the battle was called the "Battle of Dafeichuan", the victory or defeat was actually decided in Wuhai, which was about 4,000 meters above sea level, and the Tang army quickly advanced from the low altitude to the higher altitude from the Hehuang Valley at an altitude of 2,300 meters, lacking the necessary time to adapt to the plateau environment, and the physical exertion must be very large, so the consequences will be more serious.

Coupled with various reasons such as internal discord in the Tang Army, it led to the disastrous defeat of the Tang Army in Dafeichuan; Later, when it was the turn of the Mongols, who were also from the plateau, to attack, the Tibetans lost this advantage, and they drove the Qinghai locals to attack in the vanguard, and the Tibetans were quickly defeated.

In fact, when Geshuhan won the Battle of Shibao, the Tang Dynasty found the right way to deal with Tubo, built the fortress step by step, ensured its own smooth logistics, and then drove the local indigenous tribes to lead the way and fight the vanguard like the Mongols.

And during this period of time, there were also problems within Tibet, originally the high-level Tubo believed in the Mahayana Buddhism that came to Tibet from the Han Dynasty, and the famous monk Mokeyana of Shazhou preached on the plateau, advocating Zen Buddhism, called the "Dunmen School", and the Tibetan monks were popular for a while; The bottom of the Tibetan religion believes in Bon, and the two religions have their own territory, and they are relatively peaceful.

Then Trisong Detsen introduced the Tianzhu monk Lotus Ring to the plateau, which caused a sudden rebuke, and the monks of various factions made a lot of trouble, and it is said that at the most serious time, the eggs of the Lotus Ring were smashed by the disciples of Magyana; Implicated, the Tibetan nobles who believed in different beliefs also made a mess.

Tubo is a relatively loose tribal alliance, Zampu is only the leader of the tribal alliance, if you can take the big guy to grab things and make a fortune, the big guy will listen to you, otherwise hehe.

Seeing that Tubo was about to fall into civil strife, who knew that the Tang Dynasty itself was in chaos first, and the Anshi Rebellion made the tired Chisong Dezan overjoyed, and hurriedly took this opportunity to attack the Tang Dynasty, took Longyou, cut off the connection between the Western Regions and the Central Plains, and then took advantage of the emptiness of Chang'an to break Chang'an.

After this series of wars, Tubo became a powerful empire at the junction of Shaanxi and Gansu in the east and the Dadu River basin, south to the Ganges in central India, west to the Pamir Plateau, and north to the Tianshan Mountains.

The current Tubo can be said to be even stronger than Songtsen Gampo back then, and if Shen Long wants to reopen the road from the Western Regions to the Tang Dynasty, he must defeat Tubo, which is not an easy task to complete.

However, the Tibetans were not invincible, and the attributes of the tribal alliance made it impossible for them to gather their strength together, otherwise it would not be so easy for the Uighurs to take Hexi in the future, and their internal strife was not over, and there were still many internal contradictions, which was the opportunity of the Tang Dynasty.
