A group of officials on the side of Chang'an City are still in the middle of the holiday, and Songzhou City has welcomed a wave of guests from afar.

This wave of guests was the Tubo Great Commentator Lu Dongzan, who was sent by the abandoned sect to submit the letter of surrender, and several accompanying officials.

Among the accompanying officials is the mother who was once killed by Su Lie. Chisang Yangton.

This time, the entire Tibetan mission seemed to be very honest, and there was no longer the arrogance it once had.

The First Battle of Songzhou caused the forces in the hands of the abandoned sect to be sharply reduced, and now the political situation in Tibet has become seriously unstable.

If the relationship with the Tang Dynasty cannot be smoothly eased this time, I am afraid that it will not be long before there will be turmoil within Tibet.

This time, Lu Dongzan and the others brought enough sincerity, including five thousand taels of gold alone, and hundreds of other treasured utensils.

This is already a considerable wealth for today's Tibet.

Han Xian met with Lu Dongzan and his entourage in his governor's mansion and immediately sent someone to send the letter of surrender from Tubo to Chang'an.

Lu Dongzan and the others were arranged to live in a post station in the city.

Lu Dongzan proposed to Han Xian that he wanted to go to the canyon where Tubo was defeated, and by the way, pay tribute to the soldiers who died in the Tubo battle.

Han Xian hesitated for a moment and said, "If you want to go, you can do it."

However, the scene there is a bit unsightly, so please be prepared for it. ”

After listening to Han Xian's words, Lu Dongzan spoke: "Lord Han doesn't need to worry, this official has already learned some information from the defeated soldiers. ”

Han Xian nodded and said, "In that case, come with me." ”

After saying this, he took Yang Jie and Guo Xin, as well as some personal soldiers, to accompany Lu Dongzan to the canyon.

Along the way, I saw several places where the dragoons buried the graves of the Tibetan soldiers.

After Han Xian's introduction, Lu Dongzan and others all paid tribute.

These were the corpses that the dragoons had easily collected at the beginning, and in order to show respect for the enemy, Su Lie had them buried.

When everyone came to a flat field not far from the canyon, they saw a huge square in the distance.

In the center of the square stands a stone monument more than ten meters high.

After Han Xian saw the confusion in Lu Dongzan's eyes, he opened his mouth to explain without waiting for him to ask.

"This is a monument erected by the imperial court for the fallen soldiers in the Battle of Songzhou for future generations to pay respects."

After listening to Han Xian's explanation, Lu Dongzan's heart shook fiercely.

He took his mother with him. Chisang Yangton and the others walked quickly to the monument and carefully read the inscription on it.

The huge stone monument records the entire course of the Battle of Songzhou.

On the pedestal of the stele are engraved the names of the martyrs.

Lu Dongzan and the others were deeply shocked by everything in front of them.

This approach of the Tang Dynasty can not only make future generations remember these heroes and martyrs who died in battle, but also make the soldiers in the Tang Army more loyal and patriotic.

If every Tang Dynasty soldier can live for a hundred generations after death, then aren't these people all fearless of death?

After being silent for a while, Lu Dongzan spoke: "The Tang Emperor is worthy of being the Heavenly Khan admired by everyone.

can do this, why worry about the Tang Dynasty soldiers not being effective on the battlefield? ”

Han Xian saluted in the direction of Chang'an City and said, "As the Great Commentary said, now my Tang Dynasty soldiers are proud of dying in battle. ”

Lu Dongzan sighed after standing in front of the monument for a long time, and then the group continued to walk towards the canyon.

When everyone came to the canyon, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.

The long canyon is littered with rocks of all sizes.

Everywhere in the gap between the stones is a white bone of Gensensen.

In the distance, a few crows and goshawks can be seen shuttling back and forth between the stone crevices from time to time.

The whole canyon was full of harsh white in the sunlight, but unfortunately these white dry bones were all crushed under the boulders.

Han Xian spoke: "After the end of the war, our side organized people to come and clean it up.

Half of the corpses were taken, but the rest were really powerless, so so..."

Lu Dongzan looked at the huge stones in front of him and nodded, "This official can understand. ”

After saying this, he bowed to Han Xianshen and said, "Lu Dongzan has thanked Governor Han here."

If it weren't for the help of the governor, I'm afraid that there would be more of them, and they would become food for the mouths of the beasts. ”

Mother. Chisang Yangton and the others also followed with a deep salute, and many of them had already burst into tears at this time.

Originally, Lu Dongzan wanted to walk along this canyon, but at this moment, he really couldn't lift his courage.

He took the people of the Tibetan mission to pay respects at the mouth of the valley and then hurried back to the post station.

After bidding farewell to Han Xian and the others, he immediately summoned everyone from the mission to his room.

"This official would like to emphasize here, no matter how wronged you have been on this trip, you must not resist at will."

Lu Dongzan's first sentence made this request to everyone.

Mother. Chisang Yangton opened his mouth and said, "Could it be that the Tang people deliberately humiliated us and couldn't resist?" ”

Lu Dongzan said: "The strength of the Tang Dynasty is already stronger than that of Tibet, and now the Tang army is not afraid of death.

Do you think that if we provoke the Tang Dynasty, can we still exist? ”

Mother. Chisang Yangton argued: "If I blindly put up with it, wouldn't the Tang Dynasty think that I was weak?

If we continue to send troops to squeeze the place where Tibet lives, won't we have to resist sooner or later? ”

Lu Dong sighed in admiration: "What I need most in Tubo now is time, as long as there is enough time in Tubo, I can gradually recover my strength."

Only then can I, Tubo, fight with the Tang Dynasty. ”

Mother. Chisang Yang suddenly said: "If the Tang Dynasty deliberately suppresses it, when will my Tubo develop?" ”

Lu Dong sighed in admiration: "It is precisely to avoid this situation that Zampu will take the initiative to surrender to the Tang Dynasty!" ”

Mother. After listening to Lu Dongzan's words, Chisang Yangton clenched his fists tightly.

However, it didn't take long for him to bow his head and sigh, and then sit aside silently.

The others were also full of gloom at the moment.

The battle of Songzhou greatly damaged the national strength of Tubo, and now it can no longer withstand the toss.

It had been half a month since the Tibetan mission was allowed to go to Chang'an City.

At this time, a large ocean-going caravan had been formed in distant Guangzhou.

This time, the Tang Navy Division only sent an escort team of 2,000 people, and there were only ten warships.

Duan Zhixuan and Zhang Lei were silently saying goodbye to Cheng Shi, who led the team, at the port.

"We have fewer warships on this trip, and we must strengthen our vigilance along the way, so as not to let those pirates find an opportunity."

Zhang Lei said to Cheng Mumo.

Cheng Chumo patted his chest and said, "Please rest assured that the general will be able to protect the caravan to return safely." ”

Duan Zhixuan said on the side: "Recently, there has been a significant increase in pirates along the way, and I also asked General Cheng to help clean up some." ”
