Chapter 863: The White Flag Flutters
In fact, everyone also understands that what the leader said makes sense, but they still inevitably feel worried, and the most important thing is that now is the time of storm, in case something happens, they still need the old patriarch to sit in charge, everyone has the bottom of their hearts, Bago Zhagon said with a smile.
"Okay, don't look so worried, if the two armies don't fight, the old man will be fine! You quickly return to the clan land and wait for news, and also, after returning to the camp, you must appease the clansmen, don't panic too much, and at the same time, you must strengthen your vigilance, not to guard against the Tang people, but to guard against other clans, maybe it will be unfavorable to us when the army is in chaos. ”
After Yin Yin's instructions, Baguo Zhagon decisively got on his horse and went straight to the land of the alliance with a thousand cavalry, no more than a thousand cavalry, no more and no less, which could not only protect his safety, but also not let the Tang army feel that he was hostile, with this thousand cavalry, Baguo Zhagon went to the land of the alliance to surrender with high spirits, yes, although he went to surrender, but Baguo Zhagon did not look gloomy at all, but was very excited, as if full of hope for the future, surrender is indeed a bit humiliating, but it is a hope for them Bago, Anyway, he can't fight, he can't escape, it's better to fight for a hope, the only thing he's worried about now is that he is too late to realize, will there be other clan leaders who thought before him, made up his mind first, and went to the Tang Army camp to surrender first, don't look at the righteousness that those clan leaders said one by one before the war, as if they want to share the sky with the Tang Army, and they can't wait to fight with the Tang Army to the end, in fact, they are not credible, those clan leaders are all treacherous and cunning, and the righteousness they say is awe-inspiring, and they don't know what to think in their hearts. As long as there are benefits, what kind of national righteousness will they care about? Bah! How many years has it been since Tubo unified Tibet! While thinking about it, Bagozhagon whipped two more whips, and kept urging the horse to gallop.
"Hurry up! Speed up! Don't let other clans get ahead of you! ”
Along the way, Baguo Zhagon was also worried about encountering the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, and then the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty rushed up and slashed regardless of it, as a result, he did not meet the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty on the way, which made him feel a lot more relieved, and he was about to arrive at the land of the alliance, in order to avoid misunderstanding, Baguo Zhagon directly asked people to provoke the white flag, at this time, Bagozagon suddenly found that there was also a cavalry galloping towards the land of the alliance in the other direction, the strength of the cavalry was not much, and it was the appearance of more than a thousand cavalry, Baguo Zhagon sighed in his heart, It wasn't like the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, it was clearly the cavalry of a certain clan, and there was really a clan leader who came to surrender! Bagozhagon shouted.
"Hurry up, hurry up, don't let others take the lead!"
A group of cavalry immediately accelerated their speed and rushed towards the land of the alliance, and the cavalry galloping from the other direction obviously found them, and immediately increased their speed, and the outlaw generally rushed towards the land of the alliance, although the Tang army did not immediately take advantage of the victory to pursue after the victory, but also sent a lot of scouts, so, these two cavalry gradually approached the land of the alliance and were immediately detected by the scouts, these scouts couldn't help but feel a little strange, just two small cavalry on the vast plateau, it is impossible for them to fight, It's not that they fled for their lives and took the wrong path, so there is only one possibility, it is likely that there are clans coming to surrender, the reason why they think of this is because the prince of Rongfu County once specially instructed that there may be clans coming to surrender, but if you come to surrender, you will surrender, do you need to bring so many people? Even if you bring all the cavalry in the clan, it is not enough to kill, so what difference does it make if you bring people or not? Because of the suspicion that these two cavalry were coming to surrender, the scout did not immediately return to the camp, but stayed, watching with some vigilance, the two cavalry kept approaching, and there were two white flags fluttering in the front very eye-catching, these two cavalry really came to surrender! The two cavalry also spotted the Tang scouts in front, so they invariably slowed down to show that they were not hostile.
"Enlandeg! You're here too! ”
Bagozagon snorted coldly, and Enlandeg said with a smile on his face.
"Aren't you here too, Bagozagon?"
"Hmph, your Enlan clan is not close to the land of the Alliance!"
Bagozhagon snorted coldly, he was full of thoughts that he was the fastest one, but he didn't expect to meet Enlandeg, Enlandeg smiled.
"Okay, Bagozhagon, what is far and near, you and I all turn back halfway through? Why did you come back so soon, you and I both know it, you and I are not big clans, so why argue? If you want to work for the greater good, it's better to join forces. The Tang people certainly don't just support one clan, do they? ”
Bago Zhagon also calmed down, he had to admit that what Enlandeger said made sense, if Tubo reshuffled the cards, they would not be able to swallow such a big benefit, and they would not have the strength to swallow it.
"That's right, at least you and I have the same goal!"
Bagozhagon said in a deep voice.
"That's right!"
As they spoke, they came to the vigilant Datang scout, and at the same time turned over and dismounted and bowed.
"I am the leader of the Baguo clan, Zagon, I have always admired the majesty of the Tang Dynasty, and I have come to submit to the Tang Dynasty, and I hope to release it!"
"I am Dege, the leader of the Enlan clan, and I also admire Datang, and I sincerely submit to Datang, please let me go!"
The Tang scouts were stunned when they heard this, because they couldn't understand the Tibetan dialect at all, Bago Zhagon and Enlandeg couldn't help but pat their thighs when they saw this, and they were in a hurry to surrender but forgot about it, they didn't understand Chinese at all! What can I do? Both of them were suddenly anxious, and hurriedly turned around and pointed to the fluttering white flag and shouted.
"White flag, surrender!"
"We're here to surrender!"
Although they didn't understand, the Datang scout also understood what they meant, nodded his head, and beckoned.
"Come with us!"
There are only two thousand cavalry, which is not worth being vigilant at all, so the Tang scouts took them directly to the camp, and when they saw the Tang scouts signaling them to follow, Bago Zhagon and Enlandeg couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it is normal for the Tang cavalry to not understand the Tibetan dialect, but there must be someone in the Tang army camp who can speak both Chinese and Tubo, as long as they go to the Tang army camp, there will be no problem in communicating, while driving their horses forward, the two of them made up their minds at the same time that they must learn Chinese as soon as possible, not only by themselves, I also want the children of the clan to learn Chinese. When there were still two or three miles away from the camp, the scout made a gesture, and they quickly nodded and stopped very obediently, and then the scout Pegasus went straight to the camp, in the camp, Li Yong, Cheng Yanjin, and Xu Shiji were discussing in front of the map, and now they don't know which clans will surrender and which clans will resist to the end, but they feel that there will definitely be clans that will resist to the end, so they will fight next, and the clans that resist to the end will be completely subdued or completely annihilated, in short, That is, those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me perish.
"The most important thing is these big clans, as long as they are subdued or killed, the other small clans will surrender without a fight."
Li Yong smiled, and Wei Chigong nodded.
"Yes, let's take them first, it's best that all these major clans are stubborn, so that we have a reason to kill them cleanly, and Tubo will be peaceful in the future!"
Although Wei Chigong said very cruelly, but Xu Shiji, Cheng Biting Jin, and Li Yong nodded again and again, as the so-called Ci is not in charge of the army, if all these major clans are killed, then there will be no clan in Tubo that has the ability and courage to do things, and Tubo will be completely stable, just when they were discussing, a guard hurriedly walked in.
"Report to my grandfather, the clan is here to surrender, just waiting outside the camp!"
Li Yong and Xu Shiji couldn't help but be a little surprised when they heard it, although they guessed that there would be a clan to surrender, but they didn't expect it to be so fast, this must have been running away and finding that there was no pursuer behind them, and then turned around and came back, it seems that the letter of persuasion really played a big role, otherwise there would never be a clan that would come to surrender so soon, Li Yong said with a smile.
"Which clan is so knowledgeable?"
Li Yong's guard heard this.
"Grandpa, I don't know, we can't hear the Tibetan dialect, they only brought more than a thousand cavalry, and they carried a white flag, they should have come to surrender, but I don't know which clan it is."
Li Yong couldn't help laughing when he heard this, but he forgot about this stubble, the clan leaders who came to surrender may not be able to understand Chinese, and the scouts outside must not understand Tubo dialect, Xu Shiji They couldn't help but nod when they heard it, since they dared to run, and they were carrying a white flag, there was no other possibility except to come to surrender, Li Yong said with a smile.
"Let the Tuyuhun people go out and welcome the people in, and allow them to bring twenty personal guards, and the rest of the cavalry will retreat five miles and wait."
Bagozhagon and Enlandeg were waiting patiently outside the camp, in fact, they were inevitably a little apprehensive in their hearts, the gate of the camp slowly opened, and more than a dozen horsemen slowly walked out, Bagozhagon and Nlandeg saw that one of them was dressed as a Tuyuhun person, and their eyes couldn't help but light up, this person would definitely speak Tubo and could translate their words.
"I'm Zagon, the leader of the Baguo clan, and I'm here to see the commander of the Tang Dynasty!"
"I'm Dege, the leader of the Enlan clan, and I'm here to ask to see the commander of the Tang Dynasty!"
Although they knew that this was just a guard and a translator, they still put down the shelf of the leader of the clan and bowed very politely.
"The prince has an order, you can bring twenty guards into the camp, and the rest of the cavalry will retreat five miles and wait."
The interpreter raised his voice, and Bagozhagon turned around and nodded to the five people, and said in a deep voice.
"The five of you stay, and the rest of us will immediately retreat five miles and wait!"
Originally, Enlandeg also wanted to bring twenty personal guards, but when he saw that Bago Zhagon only ordered five personal guards, he couldn't help but scold in his heart that Bago Zhagon was really cunning, in fact, there was no difference between entering the Tang Army camp with twenty personal guards and bringing five personal guards, only five personal guards but still showing that he was open-minded, and what could be sent out to spread the word, it was the most appropriate, thinking of this, Enlandeg also did the same and only ordered five personal guards, and then let the rest of the cavalry all retreat five miles, Enlandeg and Bagozhagon entered the Tang army camp with their personal guards, saying that the Tang army camp is actually the place where the alliance was before, so Enlandeg and Bagozagon are very familiar after they come in, but there are some strangeness in the familiarity, the place is still that place, but the atmosphere is completely different, the place of the alliance was like a bazaar, and now it is more like a military camp, full of slaughter, obviously winning the battle, but there is no alcohol in the camp, There is no atmosphere of joyful celebration, this is a little different from what they thought, this is no longer a place of alliances, but has become a camp of the Tang army, a camp of slaughter, remembering the chaotic scene before, and then look at the camp that has now become a slaughter, this contrast is really clear enough, the translator directly took them into the big tent of the Chinese army, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Yong and they were still surrounded in front of the map, before entering the big tent of the Chinese army, Enlandeg and Bago Zhagon also took a deep breath, a little nervous, Leaving the guards outside, the two of them walked into the tent and immediately bowed respectfully.
"Ba Guo Zhagon greets the Duke of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Enlandeg meets the Duke of the Tang Kingdom!"
Xu Shiji looked up and smiled.
"No need to be polite!"
The translator first introduced the two of them.
"This is Xu Shiji, the British Duke of the Tang Dynasty, and he is also the commander of this expedition."
As soon as the translator's voice fell, the two of them hurriedly bowed solemnly.
"This is Li Yong, the prince of Rongfu County of the Tang Dynasty, the commander of the Shenji Battalion."
The two of them were busy bowing down again, but they couldn't help muttering in their hearts, this thunderous Rongfu County Duke is really too young.
"This is Chi Gong, the Duke of the Tang Dynasty, and this is the Duke Cheng of the Tang Dynasty."
The two of them hurriedly bowed again, since they entered the big tent, the two of them have not done anything else, they have been bowing to salute, more polite and respectful than when they saw Songtsan Gampo, Li Yong and others have long understood the various clans of Tubo, and naturally they also know about the Enlan clan and the Baguo clan, these two clans are not big or small, they are considered medium clans of Tubo, Xu Shiji said with a smile.
"Why are the two clan leaders here?"
Bagozagon stepped forward and said impatiently.
"Our Baguo clan has always admired the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is respected as the Heavenly Khan, although we are just a small clan, but we have great respect for His Majesty the Emperor, and today we are here to return to Shun, and I hope that the Duke of the Kingdom will allow it!"
Along the way, Bagozhagon had long thought about how to say it in order to express loyalty and dignity, and Enlandeg scolded in his heart, Bagozhagon was quite fast, always rushing ahead of him, saying everything he wanted to say, and he hurriedly stepped forward
"Our Enlan clan is also, we have always admired His Majesty the Tang Emperor, and the names of several princes and county princes are also thunderous, and we are here to return to Shun today, please allow me."
