Chapter 289: Defeat
Xiao Yunhe raised his hand: "I'm just here to take a walk, you can continue to be busy." By the way, what's the situation on the Yunnan King's side?"
"It's pretty smooth. Ma Xun said. "Of the more than 10,000 captives of Nanzhao, almost all of them surrendered. The last general had just counted their men and horses, and was preparing to give them horses, weapons, and food and grass. ”
"Nanzhao is mostly infantry, right?" Xiao Yunhe said as he walked, "You lead the way and take me to meet King Nanzhao." ”
The two walked briskly around the barracks, and soon came to a new barracks. Yi Mu Xun was leading several of his generals to order his soldiers to form a queue.
Xiao Yunhe stepped forward and called the king of Yunnan. Yi Mu Xun and the others were taken aback, and they all fell down in a hurry.
"No courtesy. Xiao Yunhe pulled Yi Mu Xun to stand up, and said with a smile: "You are the dignified king of Yunnan, and you are the king of a country, so you don't need to worship me at all." ”
Yi Mu Xun clenched his fists. Zhengse said: "How can the king of Han not worship the sin ministers? From today onwards, Nanzhao Yongshun Daqi. Never turn your back!"
"Hehe, the king of Yunnan is too serious. Xiao Yunhe smiled and diverted the topic. "Looks like things are going pretty well. ”
"Hmm!" Yi Mu Xun nodded and said, "This is an army of 10,000 people, and it has been assembled on the hour, just waiting for General Ma to distribute food and grass weapons for us." Lord Han, the sinner has a reluctant request!"
"King of Yunnan, please speak!"
Yi Mu Xun suddenly hugged his fists and bowed on one knee, made a very formal Tang Army military salute, and said: "The criminal minister is to express the sincerity of the Southern Zhao Kingdom to return to the Great Qi. I am willing to be the vanguard of the front and take the lead in sending troops to the East Women's Country!"
Ma Xun on the side was slightly taken aback and said, "King Yunnan, this time Lord Han arranged a quick attack. Ninety percent of you Nanzhao are infantry, how can you assault and fight the vanguard?"
Yi Mu Xun hurriedly said: "Han Wang Mingjian! Although most of my Nanzhao sergeants are infantry. But the speed of marching in the mountains is by no means slower than that of cavalry! Lots of horses. In order to march quickly, it is necessary to make detours at the various foot of the mountains. Our Nanzhao infantry can walk in a straight line and climb directly over the hills. Moreover, our army had been stationed in the area of Marriage Lake before, and we knew the terrain there well. The Tibetans placed the combined forces of the White Wolf Yi and Luo Numan in front and used them as shields. Although our infantry may suffer some losses in the face of most of the Tibetan cavalry, it is still more than enough to deal with the shrimp soldiers and crab generals of these two small countries! The criminal ministers are willing to clear some obstacles on the road for the adults first, so as to ensure the unimpeded flow of the army, and then they will have 100% of the energy to fight the Tibetan people!"
Xiao Yunhe thought quickly for a while in his heart, nodded decisively, and said loudly: "Okay! The heart of the king of Yunnan, what reason does this king have to refuse? Ma Xun, hurry up for the Yunnan Wang's department and arrange the military weapons, grain and grass to go on the expedition!"
"Yes!" Ma Xun promised loudly, and walked quickly with several generals of Nanzhao.
Yi Mu Xun stood up, his expression finally had some comfort, and he arched his hand again and again: "Thank you King Han!"
Xiao Yunhe and Yi Mu Xun chatted for a while, and Yi Mu Xun always looked grateful and flattered, which made Xiao Yunhe laugh secretly in his heart. Later, he left the Nanzhao military camp, and he was in a good mood. First of all, he will absolutely not have any reason to rebel in the immediate battle, and Xiao Yunhe is absolutely sure of this; second, letting these barbarians fight for internal friction on their own is simply the best tactic! No matter who wins or loses in these small countries such as Nanzhao and Bailuoyi and Luo Numan, there will be attrition and losses in short. Every time they expend a little strength, Daqi will have a little more control in the southwest. It's obvious!
With the addition of this Nanzhao army, there are more than 40,000 people on this expedition. Ma Xun's work efficiency was extremely high, and he quickly provided the Nanzhao people with all the ordnance, grain and grass. Without waiting for the rooster to crow, Yi Mu Xun hurriedly set off with his men and horses. At this time, the Tang army was also ready, and it was ready to set off after an order. Xiao Yunhe was not in a hurry, and ordered the whole army to eat a full meal before starting a rapid march.
After all, along the way, the terrain is more complicated. Although there are secret sentinels of the Tang army patrolling along the way, it is difficult to guarantee that Tubo will not set up an ambush circle in the other way. The Nanzhao people opened the way in front, of course, to let them play their role to the maximum.
At three o'clock, Xiao Yunhe put on his horse. A simple oath meeting was held, and he personally led an army of 30,000 from Yazhou. Since the infantry were equipped with pack horses, the march of the Don army was extremely fast. It only took half an hour to arrive at Luguan in Lushan County. Out of Lu Pass, it is the vast mountains and wilderness of Lu Mountain. Wu Qiyun, the female military division, was still in Lu Guan, and at this time she had already arrived at the border to greet her. A weak woman with a group of big-headed soldiers is worshipping, which is quite funny. Xiao Yunhe called her aside and said, "I led the army to attack. There's nothing going on with you here. Go back to Chengdu quickly. ”
Wu Qiyun shook his head: "I am the princess's personal commander of Lu Guan to guard the city, how can I leave my post without permission? Although I am a woman, these soldiers of Lu Guan are very obedient to me. You can rest assured, it will be fine. It's you and the princess. If you want to add more, Xiao Yunhe shook his head helplessly and laughed, there was no other way to take this ghostly girl, so he had to let her go. She and Moyi, a pair of people, are really a good match, and they are natural partners.
The army does not stop. Leaving Lu Guan and driving into the vast mountains. Although the mountainous area of Jilu Mountain is very large, fortunately, the terrain is not particularly steep. There is still a road at the foot of the mountain that can be passed, but it takes dozens of miles to reach the East Woman Country. The 30,000 officers and soldiers of the Tang Army hurried away non-stop. A real lightning strike began. Estimate the time, starting from Luguan and detouring the mountain road, it is about more than 140 miles. Nanzhao's infantry climbed over the mountain peak, and it was dozens of miles closer. They set off a few hours in advance, and it was indeed possible to arrive in Dongnu Country before the main force of the Tang Army.
Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is already sunset.
Mo Yi and the others crouched on the top of the cliff, quietly watching the middle of the Kangyanchuan valley. The cliff is more than ten zhang high, and you can look down from the height. The Tubo people are densely packed in a large group, and they are gathering around the felt tents, raising a fire to roast meat and eat it. In the northwest of the valley, a large number of yaks and goats are kept in captivity, and there is a large stretch of felt tents next to it, which has not been fired. It seems that it must be the place where the Tibetan people set up barley. Not far from Moyi and others, there is the nine-fold watchtower of the East Female State Guest and Moyi's own eight-fold watchtower. It was empty. It doesn't seem like there's anyone living there. It seems that the Tibetan people are still more accustomed to sleeping in felt tents.
Moyi was not in a hurry, and waited patiently for the dark. Dugu Fan was like a Buddha statue, holding a sword and sitting cross-legged not far behind her, not moving.
Night is slowly falling, and the weather is getting extremely cold. I didn't think I was in a hurry before, but now Moyi found that he was sweating before, and now his body is so cold that he can't help but shiver slightly. On the other hand, most of the samurai in the East Female Country also reacted in this way. Most of them had stiff hands and feet, and some of them even had purple lips.
Dugu Fan stood up silently, took off the black cloak on his body and threw it to Moyi, and then sat back silently and sat cross-legged. Mo Yi was stunned, and saw that there was only a set of coarse cloth underwear with elbows exposed on Dugu Fan's body, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of gratitude in his heart. She wanted to return the cloak to Dugu Fan and let him put it on again, but she still wrapped it around her body and felt a burst of warmth. She knew that Dugu Fan had such a perverse character, and he always did everything recklessly, and he didn't allow others to bargain with him. Instead of pushing him back and forth with his nerves, it is better to simply accept his affection. After all, it's rare to see him send a kindness once. Unexpectedly, such a strange person with a cold heart still has a soft place in his heart......
As the night deepened, the voices of the Tibetans in the Kangyanchuan Valley weakened, and many bonfires were extinguished, and the surroundings were dark. It seems that the Tibetans have returned to the felt tent one after another to rest.
Mo Yi gritted his teeth and raised his hand lightly: "Action!"
Everyone was shocked, and they began to move their stiff hands and feet, ready to pull up the rope and go down to the watchtower. At this moment, a human voice suddenly came from the watchtower, which startled everyone. Mo Yi raised his hands and motioned for everyone not to move, and quietly listened to the people below.
Moyi grew up in the Dongnu Kingdom, which had been subject to and vassalized in Tibet for many years, and was no stranger to the Tibetan language. She clearly heard the two drunken men below shouting: "Shang Xi Dongzan, I heard that your good nephew Shang Tu'er is a prisoner in Victoria. I wonder if Zamp will let him hang the fox's tail?"
"Shut your foul mouth, Shang Zanma! He's my nephew, isn't he your apprentice? ”
"Hehe, if you can find me a girl from the East Girl Country to sleep with me tonight, I'll help you intercede. I've heard that the women of the East Woman Country are extremely coquettish, and they can have countless husbands who sleep with men casually. Oops, I've been here for so long, but I haven't even seen a single hen, and all those girls in the East Girl Country are dead?!"
"Sleep, sleep, don't make noise! This is the watchtower where their queen lives, and it is much warmer than in the felt tent. You just imagine you're sleeping with their queen in your arms!"
Moyi listened to it with a tickle of teeth, and he wished to fly down and cut them into eight petals now. At the same time, she had some surprises in her heart: these two Tubo barbarians were actually the commanders of the army of some cities in Tubo and the two famous prime ministers of Tubo, Shang Zanmo and Shang Xi Dongzan!
After waiting for a long time, the voices of the two big men gradually died down, and there was a deafening snoring. Mo Yi carefully observed the situation in the Kangtingchuan Valley again, and raised his hand decisively: "Up!"
In order not to make a big noise, they didn't jump straight down. Dozens of ropes were lowered from the cliff and fell to the top of the watchtower. The samurai of the East Woman Kingdom carefully descended the rope and reached the top of the watchtower one after another. The ink clothes also slipped down the rope, and Dugu Fan jumped down from above like a carved peng, landing silently.
With his memory, Moyi touched the dense stone on the top of the watchtower. Open the concealed clasp and pull it with the dark force, revealing a hole that can accommodate people in and out. Dugu Fan took the lead and flew into it like a tanuki.
"W-Who...... Ahh
Mo Yi jumped down immediately in a hurry, and saw Dugu Fan standing there with a sword in both hands. Two stout Tibetans had fallen to the ground. Without waiting for Mo Yi to ask, Dugu Fan said to himself: "Don't worry, I'm just dizzy." ”
Almost at the same time, there was an earth-shattering shouting of killing from the south of the Kangtingchuan Gorge. Countless torches lit up the sky. The Tubo soldiers and horses under the watchtower were instantly sensational, and they all ran out of the felt tent. For a moment, the torches were lit and the horses were neighing, as if they had exploded.
"King Han has done it!" said the ink god in a low voice. She didn't know that this was still the war between the vanguard of Nanzhao and the army of White Wolf Yi and Luo Numan. The two Tubo people who were knocked out by Dugu Fan woke up in a daze, only to find that they had been tied up tightly, and a group of warriors with swords around them were angrily surrounding them.
Mo Yi walked up to them, put the sword on the neck of one of them, and said in a cold voice: "I am the Xiaobin of the East Female Country! The two of them cried out in panic, "You—How did you get in?"
Mo Yi sneered: "You can't control this." Now, the army of Great Qi has attacked Kangyanchuan. Your time of death has come!"
At this moment, a group of Tibetan soldiers ran up to the watchtower in a panic, apparently wanting to report the news. Moyi grabbed Shang Zanma and lifted him to the side of the stairs, shouting to the Tibetan soldiers below, "Stop!
Shang Zan's neck was already bleeding from the sword of the ink clothes, and he didn't dare to come out at this time. The group of Tibetan soldiers saw that the prime minister had been captured. There are some rat throwers who dare not step forward. Hovering by the stairs with a knife and gun in hand.
"Let them get down!" Moyi whispered through gritted teeth.
Shang Zanmo swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously: "Go down, go down!"
The group of Tibetan soldiers hesitated, and finally ran down the watchtower together.
"Take the two of them to the roof of the watchtower!" Seeing that the sneak attack was hopeless, Mo Yi had to decide like this. captured the thief and captured the king, captured Shang Zanmo and Shang Xi Dongzan, and the Tubo people were dragons without a leader. This is not without a bonus.
Moyi et al. vigilantly went up to the top of the watchtower, and closely guarded the two captives. Under the watchtower, thousands of torches have been lit, and a group of archers are aiming their bows and arrows upwards. At the same time, the south side of the canyon shouted murder. But it's getting bigger and closer.
Mo Yi is not worried about his escape. Climb over the ropes on the roof and you can easily escape from the secret path above. And the watchtower is as high as more than ten zhang, and there are Shang Zanmo and Shang Xi Dongzan these two shields, and the Tubo people do not dare to put the bow and arrow indiscriminately. The only thing she was a little reluctant about was that she failed to create more chaos. and did not burn their grain and grass.
Shang Xi Dongzan was older, and his legs trembled with fear as he stood on the top of the tower. He said nervously and carefully, "You guys...... What do you want to do? If you have the conditions, you can put it forward, and everything is easy to discuss. Below is my army of 50,000. If you hurt us, you won't be able to live. ”
"Old thief!" Mo Yi scolded hatefully. It was this old thief just now, and he was still clamoring to sleep with the queen of the East Female Kingdom. Mo Yi couldn't help but smash the hilt of his sword into his chest with hatred, hitting him for a while and almost falling down. Shang Xi Dongzan shouted in panic, and the Tubo soldiers below also let out a burst of exclamation.
Mo Yi's heart moved: It turns out that those Tibetan barbarians still care about the life and death of these two old ghosts?
She had an idea and said, "Shang Xidongzan, it's not without a chance to live. You're shouting loudly down there now. Have your soldiers release all the cattle and sheep in captivity, and then drive them all away. ”
"Huh?" Shang Xidong was stunned, "What do you want to do? I have never heard such a ridiculous request!"
"Don't talk nonsense, just do it if you want to live!" Mo Yi pressed the sword down on his neck a few more times.
Shang Xidongzan was nervous for a while, and began to shout loudly down with his throat pulled. The Tubo soldiers under the watchtower naturally recognized this as Shang Xidong's voice. I was a little hesitant at first. Later, a group of Shang Xidongzandi's cronies gradually ran to the livestock pen where the grain was stored. Yaks and goats were released. Whipping up the horses, he jerked the animals. The yaks and goats were frightened, let go of their hooves and began to run wildly. The terrain of the Kangyanchuan Gorge is narrow and long, and this group of livestock rushed up for a while, causing a great chaos in the tents and queues of the Tubo people.
"Shang Xi Dongzan, you are crazy! They are trying to disturb the ranks of our army! If you let Zampu know that you have done such a thing for your life, it will be worse than death!" Shang Zanmo on the side shouted loudly. Dugu Fan listened impatiently next to him, raised his fist, and hit him hard in the mouth. Shang Zanmo's mouth and nose suddenly burst with blood, and he screamed so painfully that he almost fainted. A mouth, spitting out a mouthful of broken teeth and blood.
Seeing this tragic situation, Shang Xidongzan was naturally frightened, and muttered: "Woman, queen, what else do you want." As long as you promise to let me go, I will do it!"
"Good. You know each other very well. "Now, let your soldiers set all their tents on fire." ”
"This ...... How can this be done!" Shang Xidongzan said very nervously, "Although the soldiers all listen to me, there are tens of thousands of people here. What is the difference between setting fire to their tents in such a cramped place and executing them? They will certainly not listen!"
When Mo Yi heard this, this also made sense. If you get it too far, the Tibetan soldiers will not care about these two people, and then they will not be able to use them to blackmail the Tibetan army.
At this time, the shouts of killing in the south of the valley were getting louder and louder, and they were constantly approaching. The Tibetan soldiers under the watchtower became more and more panicked and confused. Seeing this, Shang Zanma exclaimed, "Warriors. Leave us alone, let go of the arrows! Pick up your sword and gun, and go to defend yourself against the enemy!"
Dugu Fan scolded angrily: "It's noisy!" and kicked Shang Zanmo's ass. Shang Zanmo let out a terrible scream and fell from the tower, which was more than ten feet high, to the bottom.
There was a loud bang, the screams stopped, and the Tubo soldiers below were in a chaotic state of screaming.
Mo Yi didn't expect it, and couldn't help frowning at this time: "Big brother." You're so reckless! Kill Shanzanma like this, and we will lose hope. ”
"Isn't there another one? Dugu Fan was not in a hurry, and said tepidly, "That guy was too loud and shouted nonsense. The noise annoyed me. ”
Shang Xidong Zan was already so frightened that his legs were weak, and he almost sat down, and kept begging for mercy: "Queen, strong man, spare your life!"
Shang Zanma's shout made many Tibetan people wake up. A large number of Tibetan soldiers were already pouring in front of the south. There is still a group of archers who do not give up and gather under the watchtower. Holding a bow and arrow, he stared at him.
Mo Yi's brows furrowed, and he said to himself with regret: "It seems that we can only do this." Bring Shang Xi Dongzan. Prepare to retreat!"
Dugu Fan tilted his head and said coldly: "Don't you just want to put a few fires on fire? Withdraw first, and leave the arson to me. ”
"Are you alone?" said Moyi, a little worried.
"Enough. ”
Moyi asked the warriors of the Dongnu Kingdom to retreat with Shang Xi Dongzan. When the Tibetan soldiers saw that they still had a prime minister of their own, they did not dare to release their arrows, so they had to watch them go. Dugu Fan put back his black cloak, quietly went up the mountain wall, and then touched the edge of another watchtower, and fell down lightly.
The shouting has been going on for more than an hour. The Nanzhao people fought very fiercely. The white wolf Yi and Luo Numan, who were at the forefront, were not firm in their hearts, and the white wolf Yi had also experienced the defeat of Lushan like Nanzhao, so they had no heart to fight at all. The more than 10,000 people guarding the mouth of the Kangting River Valley are like a plate of loose sand. He didn't put up much resistance at all, and fled in all directions. A group of Tibetan cavalry rushed out of the canyon in a panic. Finally resisted the army of Nanzhao near the marriage lake. The Tibetan cavalry has strong combat effectiveness, although the morale is greatly reduced and some dragons are leaderless, but with their super individual combat ability, they are on par with the army of Nanzhao. Moreover, more and more Tibetan cavalry rushed out from inside.
Yi Mu Xun looked at the scene in the battle formation from a distance, and couldn't help frowning: I didn't expect the White Wolf Yi and the Luo Nu Barbarians to be so vulnerable, and they led out the Tubo people early...... Strangely, how can they be so chaotic? It's not organized or organized at all. If not, where would we be the match for their Iron Horseman?...... King Han, King Han, you have to come early!
Mo Yi and the others escorted Shang Xi Dongzan, and they had already disappeared on the cliff and hid in the depths of the dense forest. Dugu Fan touched the watchtower on the other side without revealing a trace, tightened his black cloak and hid in the dark corner, watching yaks and goats flash in front of his eyes. The Tibetan sergeants were driven away in a panic. He couldn't help but smile in his heart, like a lynx, moving lightly in the dark corners, approaching the granary of the Tibetan people step by step.
At this moment, there was a louder shouting of killing and the sound of horses' hooves from the south. The whining sound of the big golden horn peculiar to the Tang Army reverberated throughout the valley with an echo that made the heart tremble.
Xiao Yunhe stood under the handsome banner on his horse, raised the spear in his hand, and shouted: "The whole army is assaulting!"
"Kill!-" Xu Zhan led the flying dragon cavalry first, and was the first to kill in the battle formation on the shore of the Marriage Lake. The infantry dismounted, wielded the Da Mo sword, and swept towards the marriage lake like a mountain and a sea.
Yi Mu Xun shouted excitedly: "The main force of the Tang Army is here!
In the Kangtingchuan Gorge, the leaderless Tubo people became more and more chaotic. Several generals finally organized their men and horses to go out to fight, but they were scattered by their own people who fled back from outside. At this time, there was another fire in the granary of the camp, and someone shouted: "There is a fire!"
The flames were rising, and the Tibetans shouted in fear and hurried to put out the fire. Dugu Fan quietly dodged and touched a few jars of Yuzhai spirits drunk by the Tubo people from one of the camps, and spilled them all over the place. A frightened yak rushed towards him, Dugu Fan's eyes were fast, and he simply jumped up and rode on the yak, and sprinkled the liquor in his hand on the goats of the other yaks. The morale of the Tibetans holding torches could be seen everywhere, and Dugu Fan took out his sword to kill several people, took the torches, and threw them at those yaks.
This is a good thing, a group of fire oxen and fire sheep let out a burst of screams, rushing everywhere like crazy. The soldiers, horses, and tents of the Tubo people were all washed to pieces, and the fire became more and more intense. They trampled and collided with each other, and they became a mess. In the Kangtingchuan Valley, the fire is getting bigger and bigger, and it is burning with a scream.
Many Tibetan soldiers have discovered Dugu Fan as the culprit, but whether they shoot arrows or slash, they can't hurt him. This person is like a ghost, and his skills are weird. Later, the yak that Dugu Fan rode was also on fire, and he simply jumped down and quickly climbed the watchtower. A rain of arrows fell beside him, but none of them hit. Dugu Fan stood on the top of the watchtower and looked at the fire below, sneered a few times, and floated away.
On this side of the Marriage Lake, the panicked Tubo soldiers and horses fought separately, where was the opponent of the Flying Dragon Cavalry and the Modao Formation! When the Nanzhao people saw the arrival of the reinforcements from Daqi, they also became more and more heroic. Wow Wow screamed and followed to besiege and kill the Tubo people, venting the anger that had accumulated in his heart for many years. At the same time, more and more Tubo people came out to kill the Great Kang Tingchuan, and the shore of the Marriage Lake officially became a big battlefield.
Xiao Yunhe found Yi Mu Xun, and the two of them stopped at a higher place together to watch the battle. At the same time, they were surprised to find that the Tibetan soldiers and horses who rushed to help the battle looked more like they had escaped, and they were even more panicked than the Tubo people who were encircled and suppressed.
At this moment, a larger group of Tibetans ran out screaming, and many of their horses or bodies were on fire. Behind them, a herd of fire oxen and fire sheep chased after them, and the scene was extremely spectacular. At the same time, a puff of billowing black smoke billowed out of the valley, as if a youkai was about to appear!
A large number of cattle and sheep on fire rushed towards the marriage lake without their lives. The Tibetans dodged in a panic, completely unintentional. One or two hundred thousand people rushed left and right in a chaotic manner, only caring about fleeing for their lives, which made the Tang army and the Nanzhao army a little confused. Many Tubo people who were stained with fire jumped into the lake regardless of the qiē.
"My lord, there must be a fire in Kang Tingchuan!" exclaimed Yi Mu Xun in surprise, "The soldiers and horses of the Tubo people have never been so chaotic. Now that they're just running for their lives, where is it like an army that can fight?!"
Xiao Yunhe didn't realize this, and immediately ordered: "Beat the drums of war and take advantage of the situation to pursue and kill!"
The war drums rumbled all over the mountains, and the leaderless Tubo people were even more confused, and this time there was no place to hide and no way to retreat. Just now, he was able to barely fight for himself, but now he has no heart to fight, and he has fallen into complete chaos and panic.
At this time, the fire in the Kangtingchuan valley was already far away and could be seen clearly. The raging fire burned the sky red. The entire marriage lake is as bright as daylight. The lake shone in the crimson light of the fire, and the livestock and men and horses in the water were screaming.
The Tang Army and the Southern Zhao Army in the battle array, in the face of this situation, the Tubo soldiers and horses, all of them doubled their confidence and became more and more courageous the more they fought. The Tibetans have completely lost their confidence. Seeing that there was no way to enter the heavens and no way to enter the earth, many people put down their swords and guns and surrendered.
Xiao Yunhe immediately ordered that those who descended should not die. All the armies shouted in unison. The surviving Tibetans surrendered one after another, without any further resistance. Xiao Yunhe told the army to take care of the prisoners, and at the same time, he also sent people to rescue the men, horses and livestock that fell into the water.
This big battle, like a thunderstorm in summer, came violently. Go fast. A fire caused the Tubo people who had lost their coach's dispatch to quickly collapse. The number of prisoners was counted and there were actually more than 30,000 people, almost the same as the number of the Tang army! Many cattle and sheep were almost cooked, and Xiao Yunhe ordered them to be slaughtered and roasted on the spot to eat.
When the prisoners of war were counted. The commander of the Tibetan soldiers and horses has never been seen. Let the soldiers who know the Tibetan language ask the captives for questioning, only to know that the Tibetan generals Shang Zanmo and Shang Xi Dongzan have been restrained by a strange group of people before. Later, Shang Zanmo was thrown down the nine-story watchtower and shattered, and Shang Xi Dongzan was strangely taken away by this group of strange people and disappeared on the watchtower more than ten zhang high.
Xiao Yunhe immediately understood in his heart: Who else could there be?
The only thing I didn't think of was. They did a really good job, and they simply indirectly dominated what should have been a huge battle!
The war of nearly 100,000 people ended quietly like this. There are still 30,000 or 40,000 horses in Tibet, please surrender all of them!
Thinking of this qiē, Xiao Yunhe himself was secretly speechless, almost unable to believe that the qiē in front of him was real.
It is also a big problem to deal with such a large number of prisoners. Xiao Yunhe did not dare to delay, and quickly ordered these Tubo people to be tied up, formed a string, and sent 10,000 Tang troops and all the Nanzhao soldiers. Escorting the captured and captured horses to Yazhou in the starry night. These Tubo people were extremely depressed, and all of them had no fighting spirit. Along the way, I heard them sighing one after another.
There are still 20,000 Tang soldiers and horses left, all of whom are cavalry. Xiao Yunhe ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up, and then the whole army set up a tent in the barracks for a short rest.
These things had just been done, and Xiao Yunhe had just sat down in the handsome tent. Moyi ran in happily. She shut everyone out and ran in alone. Then he swooped into Xiao Yunhe's arms, hammered him again and again, and said with his breastplate: "I succeeded, succeeded!"
"Good, good, just come back safely. There was such a big fire in Kangtingchuan just now. I've been worrying. Xiao Yunhe also hugged her tightly and comforted her carefully, "It's good to come back." In the future, you will never be allowed to do such a dangerous thing again!"
Moyi's body was covered with dust, his face was a little frozen red, and his body trembled slightly. Xiao Yunhe hugged her tightly, making her feel a collapse in her heart. After a while, she was a little reluctant to get out of his arms, and said a little shyly: "There are still a group of people waiting outside." I've taken a big captive, and guess who?"
"Hehe, I can guess it. Xiao Yunhe squinted his eyes and laughed. Seeing that Moyi was so excited, Xiao Yunhe also deliberately cooperated to pretend to be stupid, so that she could be a little happier.
"Shang Xi Dongzan, one of the four prime ministers of Tubo, Shang Xi Dongzan!" Mo Yi almost jumped up and said happily, "I was captured alive!"
"Then bring it in!" Xiao Yunhe also nodded excitedly and sat down in the handsome seat. Moyi happily jumped up to him and stood still, shouting, "Bring the captives in!"
Several warriors from the Eastern Female Kingdom walked in with Shang Xi Dongzan, who was tied strongly. Xiao Yunhe looked fixedly, it was an old man in his fifties who was a little obese. At this time, his face was like ashes, and he hung his head so dejectedly that he did not even dare to raise his head.
Mo Yi leaned into Xiao Yunhe's ear and said, "He can't speak Chinese." I can give you a message, though. I know Mandarin. ”
Xiao Yunhe looked up at Moyi a few times, and couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect that my princess is so versatile......! Tsk, I'm so ashamed!"
Mo Yi squinted his eyes proudly and smiled, and then straightened his color: "Let's start, my lord." ”
Xiao Yunhe looked back at Shang Xi Dongzan and said, "Are you Shang Xi Dongzan, the prime minister of Tubo?"
Shang Xidong praised Xiao Yunhe and Mo Yi a little, nodded, and lowered it again.
"Come on, loosen the ties. Lookouts. A few pawns came in, untied Shang Xidongzan, and put a seat. Shang Xidongzan took a long breath and sat down, moving his sore arms, but he still didn't dare to look at Xiao Yunhe squarely.
Xiao Yunhe waited for him to toss alone for a long time before he said, "Do you know? Your 50,000 army and 10,000 allied troops have all been defeated by me at this moment. ”
"Yes. Shang Xidong sighed heavily. He said, "I'm not reconciled! This battle was lost too strangely and too suddenly!"
Xiao Yunhe sneered and said, "Then why don't you go back in time, let's fight again?"
"Okay!" Shang Xidongzan roared out almost instinctively, and then glared at Mo Yi angrily, thinking that she was deliberately mistaken to tease him. Mo Yi said: "This is what King Han said, I didn't make it up myself." Shang Xidongzan frowned and looked at Xiao Yunhe, his expression was very depressed.
Xiao Yunhe laughed: "It's very weird on the battlefield. Anything can happen. A small negligence can also make a big mistake and make a whole game lost. Since you are a commander-in-chief, you should understand. The two armies are facing each other. It is often not the side that does the right thing that wins, but the side that makes the least mistakes. ”
"Then what mistake did I make?! I respectfully follow Zampu's order, and send troops to Kang Tingchuan to let the troops of Nanzhao and other countries go to attack Yazhou first. When your strength is exhausted, we will conquer Tibet with a drum of leisure. Shang Xidong praised unconvinced, "Zampudi's method is very correct, and we have been implementing it properly!"
Xiao Yunhe laughed: "You are wrong, you are wrong, you shouldn't sleep on the nine-fold watchtower! What kind of place is that? Everyone sleeps with guests! Even this king can only sleep on the eight-fold watchtower." How old are you?haha!" Mo Yi's face flushed, and he didn't know how to translate these words. After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't find an alternative sentence, so I had to translate it truthfully. Shang Xi Dongzan's neck was angry, and he muttered: "Win the king and defeat the king, whatever you say! Don't try to humiliate me again!"
Mo Yi also said softly: "My lord, you have a good reason for this...... It's too ridiculous. ”
Xiao Yunhe couldn't help but laugh again. Only then did he say: "Shang Xi Dongzan, there is a lot of help for the righteous, and little help for the unjust." Both the Eastern Woman Kingdom and the Southern Zhao cannot withstand your brutal rule, and they have turned to serve the Great Qi. Nanzhao even defected on the verge of battle, helping this king defeat your land shield and replace the dead ghosts - that is, the white wolf Yi and Luo Numan. I did not exterminate these two small nations, and let their armies flee. I believe that it will not be long before these two small countries will also come to serve Daqi. The days when you Tibetans covered the sky with one hand in the southwest of Kyushu will forever be a thing of the past. ”
"Don't be too arrogant...... Shang Xidong praised him angrily, but he was a little timid by nature to meet Xiao Yunhe's fierce gaze, and insisted on saying this sentence as a pleading, "Our Zanpu will teach you a hard lesson......"
"Yes, Trisong Detsen has always wanted to teach me a hard lesson. However, it was always an idea and never put into practice. Xiao Yunhe walked up to Shang Xi Dongzan with a somewhat arrogant smile, and said in a deep voice: "Sue me, every order Trisong Detsen has given you, and anything you know about Trisong Dezan's army. ”
