Chapter 282: Trick War
Come to think of it. Xiao Yunhe suddenly had an idea in his heart.
"Chantur, this king can not kill you. Xiao Yunhe put down his gun.
Chantur was suddenly pardoned, and almost instinctively shouted in surprise: "Really?" He regretted it very much: Oh my God, am I crazy? I have five or six thousand men, and in the face of such a small number of troops, I actually ......
"This king is not in the mood to joke with you. Xiao Yunhe said in a deep voice, "You have two choices. Let the horses come over and fight, or the people surrender. After this king said this, he began to time. After the time of half the incense, anyone who did not dismount and surrender surrendered. No mercy will be given!"
At this moment, the Tang army pursued the light cavalry and covered the back of Chanturxi. The sound of horses' hooves shook the entire canyon.
Chantur was dismounted almost immediately. But the two Tibetan generals next to him let out a whoast shout. Without hesitation, he rushed forward. Immediately after, another group of people rushed forward without fear of death.
Song Liangchen twisted his eyebrows. He took his bow and shot three arrows in a hurry.
Three strings sounded, three screams, and three people fell off their horses and died!
There was a cheer from the Wyvern behind him: "Oh!
Shook the canyon. A handful of Tibetans who were rushing forward stopped alive.
"If there are those who are not afraid of death, just come up!" Xiao Yunhe set up his bow again and aimed at Shang Tuerxi.
Chantur screamed, turned over and dismounted, and knelt on the ground: "I surrender!
The Wyvern-dragoons shouted in unison: "Dismount and surrender!"
Groups of Tibetans are on the verge of collapse. At this time, when they saw that the Lord was about to surrender, they all fell from their horses and fell to their knees.
In front, there were still a few Tibetans who gritted their teeth and refused to surrender. And he was eager to try, wanting to put a cold arrow on Xiao Yunhe. Xiao Yunhe's eyes were quick, and he shot an arrow quickly, hitting a person in the throat. The man giggled a few times and fell heavily under the horse. Several Wyverceback knights stepped forward quickly, raised their bows and crossbows, and shouted: "If you don't get off your horse again, you will be killed!"
A bowstring sounded. In the deep canyon, it is like a life-seeking flag, which makes the hearts of the Tibetan people frightened. The few remaining Tibetans who wanted to resist stubbornly also fell off their horses.
"Very good!" Xiao Yunhe raised the corners of his mouth and sneered.
The eastern foothills of Wumeng Mountain are much more tragic than the Grand Canyon. Although the Xu She people were captured alive, on this open battlefield, the remnants of the Tubo people were still resisting to the death. The infantry formation and the flying dragon cavalry formed several blockade lines, dividing the remnants of the Tibetan army into pieces and killing them in batches.
The Tibetans had already lost a lot of momentum, and at this time they fell into endless chaos, only knowing how to flee for their lives. Only Li is the opponent of the Tang Army, which advances and retreats in an orderly manner and cooperates tacitly. There were nearly 20,000 Tibetan soldiers and horses along the way. After being ambushed by fire and bows and arrows at the mouth of the gourd and at the southern foothills, there were still more than 10,000 people. But at this time, it didn't feel that they had so many people. More than 10,000 soldiers and horses were divided by the Tang army, and no matter where they were, they were all in an unfavorable situation of being slaughtered.
Song Liangchen was elated, tore off his silk armor and tied it up with Xu Sheren, and refused to let him go on the horse. Xu Sheren was put on horseback, and Song Liangchen's headscarf was stuffed in his mouth. I almost broke my bones, and I couldn't survive or die. It's just painful. Moreover, he still has to watch this monster kill the Tibetan soldiers with incomparably ferocious slaughter. One by one, the heads exploded in front of his eyes, and a scream sounded in his ears. Xu Sheren closed his eyes in despair, and finally understood that he was completely finished!
The army of 30,000 is finished; It's over......
When Xiao Yunhe took the two thousand flying dragon riders around him and rushed from the canyon to the eastern foothills, the battle was finally coming to an end. Shang Tuer waited for the prisoners, Xiao Yunhe didn't bother to care, and handed them over to the light horsemen who came behind to clean up. He himself rushed to the eastern foot to supervise the battle.
Seeing the battle situation, all of them are under control. Xiao Yunhe finally let out a long breath. Guo Gang rushed over with the Zhenggu banner, and stood beside him, the Tang-character banner and the Li-character banner flew in the wind, hunting sound.
Xiao Yunhe shouted: "Beat the drums and launch the final blow to the remnants of the Tibetan army!"
Dozens of snare drums rumbled. The Tang army, which was in the midst of the battle, was greatly encouraged, and fought fiercely again. Fought and killed the remnants of the Tibetan soldiers who almost collapsed overnight. Hearing such an earth-shattering drum beat, I couldn't hold on any longer. Many people finally dismounted and surrendered.
Gao Gu led the Flying Dragon Rider, and he didn't know how many back and forth he had killed in the Tubo camp. As a rare powerful mobile unit in the Tang Army. Their responsibility is to rush to the aid of all directions to block and change the balance of forces on some local battlefields. Now it seems that he has done his job quite well. As long as the flying dragon rider appeared, the speed of killing the Tubo people was significantly accelerated, and the battle situation would turn to one side.
On the battlefield nearly 100 miles long, Tubo was killed and scattered, and fell in pieces. At the eastern foot of Wumeng Mountain, in addition to the remnants of fireworks. As far as the eye could see, there was a shocking amount of blood.
Song Liangchen was like a madman, he didn't partner with anyone, and rode a horse alone to clash in the formation. At this time, I heard the sound of drums, and immediately happily slapped my horse and rushed towards the handsome flag.
Xiao Yunhe could see clearly from a distance, on Song Liangchen's saddle. There was still a person on board. He couldn't help but feel a burst of surprise in his heart: This Lu Han, caught a live person, it seems that he should be an important person!
"Your Excellency, your Excellency. Haha!" Song Liangchen shouted from afar, "I have captured a live, the general of Tubo - Xu Sheren!" He also emphasized-"I personally caught it!"
Xu Sheren was trembling on the horse for half a night, and he almost fainted at this time. After being woken up by Song Liangchen's voice, he felt a burst of despair in his heart: Hey, it fell into Xiao Yunhe's hands again. I was let go by him last time in Dongnu Country, and now where do I still have the face to stand in front of him......
Xiao Yunhe was pleasantly surprised in his heart: Great, he actually captured Xu Sheren alive!
Song Liangchen rode over, and several pawns stepped forward and dragged down Xu Sheren, who was lying on his horseback. After Xu Sheren landed, his whole body was sore, his legs were weak, he couldn't stand steadily, and he almost fell to the ground.
Xiao Yunhe looked at him seriously for the first time. Xu Sheren, although dressed as a Tubo person, wore a sheepskin jacket with a whip. But it can be clearly seen from his appearance that he is a Han man, and he is much more delicate than ordinary Tubo people. He is in his early thirties, and he is physically strong, but he is actually quite young. However, in Tibet, a ten-year-old child can ride a horse and shoot arrows to hunt, and it is not surprising that he becomes a general at the age of thirty.
Xu Sheren was pushed in front of Xiao Yunhe, tilting his head to the side, refusing to look at King Han directly.
Xiao Yunhe smiled: "What a coincidence, Xu Sheren." So soon we met again. ”
Xu Sheren was still tied with his hands, closed his eyes and said, "If you want to kill, you can kill, don't be wordy." Although I, Xu, am not a hero, I can't be insulted by you. ”
"Yes, a bit of guts. Xiao Yunhe nodded and praised, "There is a bit of Xu Mao's shadow." ”
Xu Sheren was slightly startled, and turned his head to look at King Han.
Xiao Yunhe raised his hand: "Untie up." ”
Xu Sheren frowned and looked at Xiao Yunhe: "Why don't you kill me now?"
"Why did I kill you?" Xiao Yunhe asked rhetorically, and laughed hehehe, "You are a good general, and you are a rare opponent of this king on the battlefield. Wouldn't it be a pity to kill you like this?"
"Then you let me go back!" Xu Sheren was untied, shook his sore arm a few times, and said in a rough voice, "Let's compete again!"
"It's not impossible to let you go back. Xiao Yunhe smiled and said unhurriedly, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid, after you go back, Trisong Dezan and the Tubo people won't be able to spare you." I want to meet you on the battlefield again, but it won't be so easy. You know the rules of the Tibetan people better than me. I don't think I need to explain, do I?"
Xu Sheren was suddenly stunned, and suddenly remembered his family who was still in Tibet. If Trisong Zampu knew, he Xu Sheren had lost 30,000 troops again...... It's going to be over!
Thinking of this, Xu Sheren couldn't help but shiver, and there was a fear in his eyes.
"What's the matter, I'm right, right?" Xiao Yunhe sneered and said, "The Tubo people are wild and uncivilized, and the punishment is too cruel and inhumane. Especially for the defeated. When ordinary soldiers returned after defeat, they hung fox tails in front of them and kept their whole families as slaves, or they had their hands and feet cut off and were humiliated to death. Except, of course, those of the aristocratic and wealthy families. A Han general like you, it's already a miracle that Trisong Detsen can spare you once and let you lead the troops again. Do you still expect you to have a second chance?"
When Xu Sheren heard these words of King Han, he almost saw his family members falling to the ground one after another, and he couldn't help but sigh and sat on the ground with a wilt.
Xiao Yunhe pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly: "Come on, please General Xu go down and rest." Serve well, and don't slack off. ”
"Yes!" Several pawns stepped forward and picked up Xu Sheren and walked to the side. Xu Sheren suddenly shouted hysterically as if he had woken up from a big dream: "Xiao Yunhe, you murderer, you are the murderer of my whole family!" The pawns shouted angrily and carried him away.
Xiao Yunhe smiled secretly and ignored it completely. I thought that I had done such a thing as slaughtering 10,000 people more than once, do I still care about being a murderer?
"Order, begin the final battlefield clearance. The Tubo people who refuse to surrender will be killed!" Xiao Yunhe's face sank, and he ordered loudly, "Two hours later, the class will return to Victoria!"
Eighteen iron horns more than one person long were erected on the shoulders of the soldiers, whining and blowing. The heavy clouds flew away, the earth trembled, and the Tang army began the last round of slaughter.
The Tibetans, who refused to surrender, fell in a pool of blood in despair. At the foot of Wumeng Mountain, earth-shattering cheers rang out.
The 30,000 Tibetan army was wiped out!
Xiao Yunhe rode on a horse, facing the cold wind of early morning hunting, listening to the sound of the battle flag in his ears, and showed a smile. He raised his hand: "Collect the troops." ”
The Tang Army's golden Zheng rang, accompanied by the cheers of the valley, and drove triumphantly towards the city of Victoria.
Xu Sheren was taken to the back by those few pawns and closely guarded. Tang Jun did not act harshly towards him, nor did he face each other with swords and guns, which was already very favorable. However, Xu Sheren's heart is already dead at the moment, and his faith is about to collapse. It's like a walking corpse, and his eyes are glazed.
Gao Gu, Song Liangchen and other generals successively reported the general battle situation to Xiao Yunhe. There are 30,000 Tibetan troops, and almost none of them have escaped the net. Nearly 20,000 were killed, and another 10,000 were taken prisoner. More than 20,000 horses were seized, and countless grains and grasses were loaded. 40,000 soldiers of the Tang Army are moving these trophies to Victoria City.
What a glorious victory!
Xiao Yunhe himself couldn't help but be a little happy. Although it only defeated a vanguard of the Tibetans, judging from the results, it undoubtedly gave the Tibetans a blow to the head. An army of 30,000 was swallowed alive - there weren't many 30,000 troops in Tufan!
The Tang army was always cheering, all the way to Victoria. All the good wine in the army was brought out, and the soldiers drank and poured it in large bowls while marching, celebrating the victory. For the first time, Xiao Yunhe did not prohibit the soldiers from being so debauched and uninhibited. After all, this victory came too hard and too timely. It is a great encouragement to the army, to Jiannan, Xichuan and even the entire Great Qi. In fact, Xiao Yunhe knows it in his heart, although he is in the country at the moment. The crowd is enthusiastic in support of the war of resistance. But in the hearts of many people, there has always been such a doubt - faith is one thing, but can the army of Daqi beat the Tibetans?
Now, at last, those doubts can be dispelled. Overnight, the Jianchuan army swallowed up 30,000 Tibetan troops without even a bone residue! This battle was even more clean and neat than the Battle of Qishan. With this battlefield merit. It is enough to announce to the world of Great Qi - the Tang Army, fearless Tubo Iron Cavalry!
Therefore, Xiao Yunhe's mood has also become unusually good.
Gao Gu was a careful person, and sent a fast horse early to report the results of the battle to Victoria. When the Tang army rushed back to Victoria City with the spoils of war from the captives. Outside the city was already crowded with people. The remaining more than 10,000 Tang soldiers and people gathered outside the city. They took out all the war drums and horns, set off firecrackers, and celebrated this great victory with great fanfare. The city of Victoria celebrates its biggest celebration in decades.
Xiao Yunhe was happy and happy. After all, you won't get carried away. As soon as the army marched into Victoria, he summoned the congregation to the council. The reorganization of the army, the collection of prisoners, and the arrangement of garrisons and sentinels were arranged and mediated in a unified manner. Victoria City after a celebration. Quickly calmed down, and became tense and orderly again. The wounded of the Tang army were all transferred to Chengdu Prefecture for treatment. The captives of Tibetans and horses were temporarily placed in batches in Victoria, where they were guarded and guarded.
In addition, Xiao Yunhe also issued a military order: no mistreatment of captured Tibetans. Wounded Tibetan soldiers were given treatment. The Tubo people who died in battle were cremated and buried in a unified manner.
This kind of thing. At this time, it is the best time to embody the demeanor of a great country and the demeanor of a country of etiquette. Compared with the harsh punishments of the prisoners of war and his own defeated soldiers in Tibet, Xiao Yunhe's actions undoubtedly won him many people's hearts. Actually, most of the Tibetan soldiers. They are only poor people. For the benefit of the Tibetan Zampu and the wealthy nobles, he had to join the army as a soldier. In the minds of many. Staying alive is the most important thing. Xiao Yunhe, who has led troops to fight for many years, naturally understands the truth in this.
When the time comes, it is not impossible to subdue the hearts of these Tibetan people and recruit them to his command. In my previous life, I fought in all directions and collected the opponent's troops, and I did this kind of thing more than once. For this aspect, Xiao Yunhe has a lot of experience.
As long as you convince people with virtue, no matter how strong the enemy is, it is possible to be ambushed. When the barbarians were pacified, Zhenguan Daqi added many barbarian generals and soldiers, which is an excellent proof. This group of Tibetan people is all physically strong and is a natural good rider. It would be a pity to cut it down if it wasn't used.
However, before ambushing the soldiers, it is very necessary to ambush their generals. That waste is of little use except for a little bit of use. Xiao Yunhe never thought of collecting such waste.
Xu Sheren is a character!
That night, Xiao Yunhe took Wu Yuanheng, Gao Gu, and Song Liangchen, and brought Shang Tuerxi with him, and went to see Xu Sheren together.
At this time, Xu Sheren was sitting in a clean room, his eyes closed, and his mind was blank. By this time, he had eaten his stomach and washed the smoke and dust off his face, and changed his clothes that had been burned by the fire. However, he refused to put on the robes of the Tang people, and the pawns serving him had no choice but to fetch him a clean set of Tibetan soldiers' clothes.
Only two pawns watched outside the door, and the defense was not tight. With Xu Sheren's skills, it is actually quite easy to escape. However, he had no intention of escaping. Because he knew that even if he could escape from Victoria and return to Tibet, he would only face his beheaded relatives and a death order from Chisong Puzan. The left and right are dead, it is better to sit here calmly, waiting for Tang Jun to swing his knife.
Xiao Yunhe led everyone outside the house, and the pawns guarding here hurriedly saluted. When Xu Sheren heard the sound of talking outside the house, he was slightly shocked in his heart: Xiao Yunhe actually came......
The door creaked and was pushed open. Xiao Yunhe walked in with his feet raised and saw the back of Xu Sheren sitting there. Song Liangchen shouted: "You are so rude! A captive, my family came to see you, and he didn't even get up and bow down!"
"That's it. Xiao Yunhe raised his hand lightly and walked towards Xu Sheren.
Xu Sheren sat there motionless, his eyes closed. Gao Gu pushed Chanturxi. Almost threw him in. Shang Tuer screamed a few times in surprise, Xu Shecai glanced back and exclaimed, "Shang Tuer, you are also captured?"
Shang Tuerxi lowered his head and glanced at Xu Sheren, sighed, and did not speak.
Xiao Yunhe walked up to Xu Sheren and said, "Shang Tuerxi fled to the Dajinchuan Gorge. The king stopped him with ease and waiting. More than 5,000 Tibetan soldiers surrendered with him. ”
Xu Sheren snorted coldly: "That kind of waste, it should have died in battle." ”
Shang Tuerxi said angrily: "Xu Sheren, what are you! Now that we are all prisoners, what qualifications do you have to count me down?"
"Hmph!" Xu Sheren sneered disdainfully. "I, a Han general, at least fought hard, and my skills were not as good as others and I was captured. What about you? There are more than 5,000 soldiers around you, and they actually surrender on their knees. I really don't know what those Shang Prime Ministers will think after knowing the news. I admit it. My ability to lead troops into war is inferior to that of some people. But if it weren't for you, the scum, who kept shouting and pointing fingers in my ear. How could I, Xu, be so lightly defeated!"
"You, you......" Chantur was ashamed and angry, and didn't know what to say.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel. Xiao Yunhe suddenly waved his hand and drew his sword. A groan of the light silenced both of them. The atmosphere in the room was tense.
Shang Tuer's eyes were already wide in fright, and Chu Yan's body trembled. Because Xiao Yunhe's sword had already reached his neck.
"Are you afraid of death?" Xiao Yunhe said with a smile on his face, quite jokingly.
"I'm afraid ......," Shang Tur sweated coldly on his forehead.
Xu Sheren took a sip hatefully: "Scum, you scum!"
Xiao Yunhe patted Shang Tuerxi's face with his sword. said: "However, this king has no interest in killing you. Because you scum will defile my sword. Now, give you a chance to live. ”
"What?" Chantur asked urgently, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
Xiao Yunhe said: "Write a letter. Choose two people you can trust among the captives and send them back to Tibet. To Tri Song Dezan. Let's just say that you Shantur have been captured alive by me, and you are in danger. If you want to save your life, you can only exchange Xu Sheren's family for it. ”
"Yes, yes! I write!" Chantur agreed without hesitation, and his heart was in ecstasy.
Xu Sheren stood up from his seat in surprise, and looked at Xiao Yunhe with confusion and consternation: "You ......"
Xiao Yunhe smiled slightly, put away his sword, raised his hand and said, "Gao Gu, take Shang Tuer to write a letter." It's up to you to take care of it. ”
Gao Gu replied and pushed Shang Tuerxi out. Gao Gu does things, Xiao Yunhe is relieved. With his finesse, it was almost impossible for Chantur to do anything in his letters. Now that the war has just ended, it is very likely that the Tibetans do not know the news yet. If you want to save Xu Sheren's family, you have to do everything in this matter.
Xiao Yunhe waved his hand and asked Song Liangchen to come over, and then said to Xu Sheren: "It was he who was captured alive in the battle formation, are you convinced?"
Xu Sheren glanced at Song Liangchen, pursed his lips and sneered, and said, "This general's martial arts are indeed brilliant. However, I am not convinced. In that case, even if I hadn't met him, I knew that being captured or killed would be my fate. ”
Song Liangchen muttered: "You barbarian, your tone is not small. Why don't we try it again? I don't need a big iron rod this time, I'll fight you empty-handed, it!"
Xu Sheren glanced at him, silent, and only sneered on his face.
Xiao Yunhe smiled: "Song Liangchen, you go out first." ”
"Sit down. Xiao Yunhe sat down first, and asked Wu Yuanheng and Xu Sheren to sit down as well. Xu Sheren hesitated, but finally sat down.
"Xu Sheren, this king knows that you are a brave and resourceful person. Xiao Yunhe said, "And you have Han blood in your veins after all." Although decades ago, your Xu family was forced to leave the Han land and took refuge in Tibet. But the fallen leaves return to the roots, have you ever thought about returning to Daqi?"
"Return to the Great Qi ......" Xu Sheren raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Yunhe in a daze.
"Yes, return to Daqi. Xiao Yunhe said, "What's wrong with that? As long as you're willing to come back." This king promises that he will reuse you regardless of his previous suspicions. The openness and inclusiveness of Daqi are incomparable to the barbaric country of Tibet. You have courage, military talent, and Han blood. What's more, your ancestor, Xu Maogong, is still the founding honor of Daqi. A generation of famous generals. Whatever the reason, you should return to the Great Qi. The Xu family has left many traces in Daqi for generations. Whether it's a good reputation or a bad deed, it's a thing of the past. You have to think about it. It's you. Are you willing to end your life at this moment? You're only in your early thirties, right? It's time for a talent like you to make a name for yourself. Is it worth it to sacrifice your life for a barbaric country like Tibet, which has no faith and no righteousness, and to slaughter the Han people? I'm going to sigh too. ”
Xu Sheren's eyes revealed a lot of hesitation and hope, and he looked at Xiao Yunhe in a daze, and said nothing.
Wu Yuanheng smiled slightly. said: "General Xu, maybe you don't know much about Lord Hanwang. Adults are like the sea, and they are thirsty for talent. Even if you fought him to the death in front of the battle, he still valued you very much, and used you very much in the past. After the King of Han returned, he mentioned you several times in front of me and praised you. I have never heard the King of Han praise a person so much behind his back. ”
Xu Sheren looked at Wu Yuanheng with some surprise. Arching his hand, he muttered, "This is ......"
"Humble Wu Yuanheng. The current governor of the Han Dynasty. Wu Yuanheng bowed back and said, "General Xu, I also advise you to abandon the darkness and follow the King of Han." A true immortal!"
Xu Sheren turned his head to look at Xiao Yunhe, and then at Wu Yuanheng. Still hesitating.
Xiao Yunhe smiled and said, "I know that there is still one last trace of hesitation in your heart. You are worried that your local family will die in Tibet, right? Chantur knows this person, I know it clearly. This person is a rare baby bump in the generation of several Shang tribes in Tibet. Trisong Detsen will definitely agree to the king's construction and exchange him for your family. In addition, the king also promised to send back a group of Tibetan prisoners. In this way, Trisong Detsen has no room for refusal. ”
"This ......" Xu Sheren was both frightened and surprised, and muttered, "Is it worth it for King Han to make such a big sacrifice for me?"
"A thousand armies are easy to obtain, but a general is hard to find. Xiao Yunhe said loudly, "Killing a waste like Shang Tuerxi, killing him is like slaughtering a pig and killing a dog, there is no difference." The captives of the Tibetan army, this king never thought of executing them. He is not kind, and I will not be unjust. Among the nearly 10,000 Tibetan soldiers who were captured, the king carefully accepted them if they were willing to surrender, and the wounded and disabled places would be properly resettled, and if they refused to surrender, the king also thought of sending them back to their homes after the war. Now is the right time, exchange it for your loved ones. ”
"Han Wang ......" Xu Sheren finally grateful, stood up from his seat, bowed to the ground, "the general of the defeated army, how can He De be so kind to the Lord - Xu Sheren, willing to surrender to the Lord of Han, from now on leading the horse to fall, willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!"
"Okay, good!" Xiao Yunhe laughed and helped Xu Sheren up. He took his hand and said, "General Xu's willingness to return to Shun is really a blessing for me and Xichuan! From now on, General Xu will be a family with us!"
"Thank you King Han, thank you King Han!" Xu Sheren bowed his hand again and again, very excited.
Wu Yuanheng smiled on the side and arched his hand: "Congratulations to Lord Hanwang, you have another good general!"
Xiao Yunhe laughed, and Xu Sheren also laughed with relief.
Wu Yuanheng said: "In fact, Lord Han not only likes General Xu's martial arts talents, but also admires the general's pure benevolence. When you freed more than 1,000 Han slaves in Victoria, the King of Han paid attention to you. General Xu, although your ancestors moved to Tibet decades ago, it's rare that you still miss the blood of Great Qi!"
"Ashamed, ashamed!" Xu Sheren said again and again, "In fact, since he was sensible, he knew that there was a great hero in his ancestors, and he was a famous general in Daqi. It's a pity that now our Xu family is parasitic on Tibet. My father named me Sheren, which is to show the Tubo people that our Xu family will be their slaves with peace of mind for them to drive. In fact, over the years, our Xu family has lived a life of discrimination and humiliation in Tibet. Although I became a general by virtue of my martial bravery and military merits, I still had to be oppressed by villains like Shang Tuerxi. In my heart, I actually want to return to Middle-earth and Daqi. It's a pity...... Since the Xu family has lived in Tibet for decades, all relatives are trapped on the plateau, and I have always had scruples. Now, the Sheren has to meet the Ming Lord, and they are rescued by the King of Han, and they can save their families and return to Daqi together -- even if the thunder falls from the sky to overturn the Sheren, the Sheren will also have this heart, and swear to follow the King of Han to the death and serve the Great Qi! Tubo is an old thing for the Sheren. From today onwards, the last general will be renamed Zhan, the word Kezhi. I hope that Xu Zhan's little ability can follow King Han to do something useful. One is to atone for the sins that the last general has committed, and the other is to serve the King of Han and Daqi, and restore the prestige of the ancestors!"
Jishi Mountain, on the north bank of the Yellow River. The wind was strong and the dust was flying.
Along the shallows of the Yellow River, which is dozens of miles wide, the Tibetan soldiers who are crossing the river cannot see their heads at a glance, and the crowd is even more turbulent than the current. On a sunny hillside on the south bank, a large felt tent was built with several tents connected together, enough to accommodate hundreds of people. The Tibetan people call this kind of tent a house.
And this room in front of you is the residence of Tubo Zampu, called Da Fu Lu.
The cold wind was cold outside, but there was a big charcoal fire inside, warm as a spring day. Tubo Zanpu Trisong Detsen was sitting on the edge of the couch at this time, holding a book in his hand and reading it casually. There was only one person in the huge felt tent but him. The man stood silently with his hands down, silent.
Trisong Detsen was also in his early forties, slightly chubby, and his bones were thick and very strong. Unlike other Tibetans, he was quite handsome and delicate. He has two mustaches and only a short beard under his chin. It's not like ordinary Tibetans, who are full of beard. Moreover, from his face, some shadows of Han people can also be vaguely seen.
After a while, Tri Song Detsen finally couldn't calm down. He threw the book on the low table in front of him, and asked beside him, "Shang Jiezan, hasn't there been any news from Xu Sheren's side yet?"
"Back to Zamp, no. Shang Jiezan, who was standing on the side, said very humbly, and he didn't dare to look at Chisong Dezan squarely.
Trisong Dezan owes himself, makes himself more comfortable, and says, "How is the situation of the army crossing the river?"
Shang Jiezan still lowered his head and said respectfully: "On Xinuo is personally commanding the army to cross the river. The 180,000-strong army has now crossed almost half of it. It is believed that by this time tomorrow, all the river crossings will be completed. ”
Chi Song Dezan squinted his eyes, glanced at Shang Jiezan a little lazily, and nodded noncommittally.
Since the last defeat of Qishan, Shang Jiezan, this is the most appreciated and useful minister of Chisong Dezan. He had become much more low-key and honest, at least in front of him Trisong Dezan.
Trisong Dezan glanced at the thin old man with a pair of eagle eagle eyes, and said, "Great Minister, why do you always hang your head today?
Shang Jiezan trembled slightly, bent down and said, "Back to Zampu, the old minister has nothing to worry about...... The old minister is feeling ashamed of the previous defeat of Qishan. He couldn't raise his head in front of the wise and martial Zampu. ”
"Didn't I say that those things are over? Why do you still linger. Trisong Dezan smiled slightly, comforted him and said, "This time, I personally led 200,000 soldiers and horses. Shame on the snow. You say, if you capture Xiao Yunhe's kid alive, which piece of meat do you want to cut off from him the most?"
Shang Jiezan's eyes burst out with a cold light, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Every piece." ”
"There is still resentment in your breast. There is anger. This is the biggest taboo for generals, you know?" Tri Song Detsen still said leisurely with that relaxed look. "Can't you figure out why I'm always reading Han books? Now I can sue you. In the books of the Han people, there is always a lot of knowledge of the earth. The essence of their wisdom is condensed in a book. So, since I was five years old, I have never stopped reading. To defeat your enemies, you need to know your enemies first. In the words of the Han Chinese, it is to know oneself and know one's opponent. Invincible. It's a pity that few people in our country of Tibet are willing to do such a thing. That's why I've been promoting culture, education, and Buddhism in recent years. The most powerful weapon is not a murderous steel knife. It's brilliant wisdom. ”
"Yes, yes...... Zampu's foresight is admirable. Under your leadership. The national strength of the Tibetan state is thriving, and only then has it the grand occasion in front of it. Shang Jiezan didn't dare to say anything else except patting his ass. Because he knew that Trisong Zampu was ostensibly talking about something insignificant, but in fact he was sneering at him, which was more than scolding. He has always been Zampu's most trusted minister. However, some of his habitual arguments also made Zampu very disgusted. This includes opposing the Tibetan people from learning the culture of the Central Plains and resisting Buddhism. This time, his Qishan was defeated by Xiao Yunhe, and Zampu actually did not lower any punishment. Instead, he repeatedly took advantage of his weak-hearted and grateful psychology to dispel some of his feelings of resistance in his political position.
For this young Zampu, Shang Jiezan has nothing to say except admiration and fear.
Tri Song Dezan didn't want to preach to this old minister repeatedly. He raised his hand: "Go and urge Xi Nuo, let him hurry up." I estimate that the Xu Sheren should have besieged Victoria by now, waiting for us to go for reinforcements. ”
"Yes......" Shang Jiezan bowed, but did not retreat. He said with some hesitation: "Zampu, the old minister has some words, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”
"Say it. ”
Shang Jiezan said: "Zampu, Xu Sheren, he is Han after all. Last time in Victoria, he released nearly a thousand Hannu under the guise of Zamp's will. Moreover, he had been defeated by Xiao Yunhe before, and he was a defeated general under Xiao Yunhe. Lao Chen had also been defeated by Xiao Yunhe, and he knew that this person was not comparable to ordinary Han generals. The old minister is worried, Xu Sheren...... Will it lose to Xiao Yunhe again, or will it be ......"
"Or surrender Xiao Yunhe, right?" Trisong Dezan sneered, "You're too worried. This kind of thing is impossible to happen. ”
Shang Jiezan raised his head slightly, and met Chisong Dezan's knife-like eyes, and quickly lowered his head. I didn't dare to say anything more, and slowly retreated outside. Just as he walked to the door of the felt tent, there was a shout from outside--"Report!"
Shang Jiezan lifted the curtain and walked outside, and said to the guards, "What's the matter?"
"The former army Xu Sheren vanguard army, there is news. ”
Trisong Detsen stood up from the couch: "Let him come in and speak." ”
A big Fu Lu attendant walked in, bowed down and said, "Zampu, there are two soldiers from the former army just now, and they have sent news of the vanguard of the Xu Sheren. People are out there at the moment. ”
Trisong Dezan called the two men in. When they saw them, Trisong Detsen and Shang Jiezan were both taken aback: Why did these two people look flustered and their clothes were so disheveled? The two looked at each other, and a bad premonition rose.
"Say, what's the situation?" Shang Jiezan began to ask.
The two pawns knelt on the ground in panic and kowtowed repeatedly: "Zampu." Great Phase...... General Xu Sheren's army of 30,000 was all annihilated by the Tang army!"
"Ah!!" Trisong Detsen and Shang Jiezan exclaimed in unison, "how can this be?"
The two pawns were so frightened that they couldn't possess their bodies, and you and I said a word about the war. Before Shang Jiezan could finish listening, he was so angry that he hammered his fists on the spot, while Chisong Dezan was frowning, his face was full of murderous energy, and his face was gloomy so that the two pawns did not dare to say anything.
