Dozens of Tang soldiers, led by a battalion lieutenant, stopped in the distance and looked coldly at the Tibetans opposite.
A Tuyuhun guide who knew Chinese came over to speak at the host's request. After listening to it for a while, the camp captain became happy. The Tibetan people sent an envoy over again, and they were really evil.
The Tubo people are notorious in Liangzhou. Their massacres brought fear and pain to all ethnic groups in the northwest, and hatred was born.
If Bai Yusuo were still around, he could compete with the Tubo people in terms of reputation.
"All of you, put down your weapons and come back to Jishi Town with us." The battalion captain made the request unceremoniously.
When the Tibetans came over in winter, the Jishi garrison had no sense of hospitality. Only four or five Tibetans were able to reach Guzang safely. Now that they were bored, the Tibetans came again, asking those who came to investigate
Tang Jun became slightly excited.
When the Tubo army came, they did not treat human beings as human beings. When the Tang army came here, the Tubo people were no longer human beings. In the autumn, all Tang army departments that received military orders were searching for Tubo deserters and killed them without saying a word.
He lowered his head and sent it to the army to receive military merit.
Villages of all ethnic groups in the northwest also took action to beat up the drowned dogs. On this matter, the ethnic groups in the northwest, which had never been very united, finally found some common ground.
Precisely because of the presence of Tubo as a foreign enemy, rebellions in the northwest became less frequent, and the bravery and stamina of the Tang army were also displayed to all ethnic groups in the northwest.
Under such a situation, if we add some gentle measures, such as sending some food to various tribes of Qiang people who cannot survive the winter, the effect will be much better than usual.
In the winter, the Tang army recruited some Qiang and Tuguhun people to join the army, and set up two Zhechong mansions in Guzang and Pohan, and the situation in the northwest gradually stabilized.
Since ancient times, Hexi has always been stable, and Guanxi has been as stable as Mount Tai. This is one of the reasons why all dynasties have vigorously developed Hexi.
…………
The Tubo people must be reluctant...
Several of the earless guys were looking around in the team. They were the ones who fled back to the highlands with Aru last winter. This time, as people who were "familiar" with the customs and customs of the lowlands, they came back with Sinan Yubo.
They naturally hated the Tang Army with all their heart, but after experiencing last year's war, when they saw the figures of Tang Army soldiers again, fear spread in their hearts involuntarily.
They unconsciously tightened their grip on the horse's belly, preparing to flee back into the valley if something went wrong and put down their weapons... Xinan Yubo wouldn't resist a small request, right?
Songmohaci set an example. He took out the dagger from his waist and threw it under the horse. He waved his hands vigorously. Then the Tubo people, feeling humiliated, angrily threw away the knives, arrows, daggers, nooses and other fragments.
Throw it down.
The Tang army drew out their steel swords and surrounded them. The Tubo people were no longer strange in their eyes. Regardless of whether you were an envoy or a foreigner, you were treated as normal when you arrived at Liangzhou.
"Dismount, dismount, those who kneel down will not be killed."
In the rude shouts of the Tang soldiers, they seemed to treat the Tibetan envoys as prisoners of war.
The Tubo people didn't understand, so several guides were busy translating.
It didn't take much effort. Several Tang soldiers came up immediately and kicked several Tubo people off their horses. They gestured with knives. Anyone who saw this gesture would not be able to misunderstand them.
The Tubo people's wild nature has not been eliminated, and some people immediately rose up to resist.
Without saying a word, the Tang army slashed with their swords. Amidst the screams, several Tibetans immediately fell to the ground with blood splattered on them. If Songmohachi hadn't roared and made everyone dismount, it would have been another murder.
Seeing the Tubo people kneeling on the ground obediently, the Tang army officers and soldiers looked at them with unsatisfied eyes, feeling that the dead Tubo people were much cuter than the alive ones.
After being greeted, Songmohachi fully realized the ferocity and savagery of the lowlanders.
But he didn't think he would die here. He came here to speak to the lowlanders on behalf of the noble King of Tibet, not anyone else.
Two guys without ears ran away on horseback. With the sound of bowstrings, the two cowards were shot down immediately.
Songmohachi cursed a few words in his heart. He was thinking about how to talk to the lowlanders along the way, but he did not tell them to obey. They made a joke just after they met. Obviously, a joke interpreted with blood and life is not that good.
funny.
Songmohaci took the time to look at these fierce lowlanders. The aura exuding from their bodies was like wild beasts in the wasteland, which was not uncommon among the Tubo people.
Many Tubo warriors are like this. They are the darlings of the gods, and they are people who can contribute to Tubo or their respective tribes.
It's just that the clothes of the lowlanders and the weapons they carry... are as exquisite as what I heard in the highlands, with uniform clothing and military equipment. The Tibetans cannot do this anyway.
Each of them is dressed more like a Tubo general, Songmohachi thought silently.
Moreover, there is a huge difference in appearance between the lowlanders and the Tubo people. They are both strong and muscular, but the Tubo people cannot compare with them in terms of height, and their skin is much fairer.
……………………
Under the guidance of the guide, the Tang Army camp captain came to Songmo Hachi, put his sword into its sheath, and after asking a few questions, he roughly understood that they seemed different from the Tubo people who came here last winter.
Those people were just sent by a general from Tubo. Now these people were the attendants of the Tubo ruler, so they immediately paid attention to them.
But he still led his men to drive the Tibetans to Jishi Town like sheep.
………………
It was already mid-April when the news of the Tibetan envoys reached Chang'an. Fan Wenjin and Zhang Lun did not dare to take matters into their own hands and planned to send the Tibetan envoys and their entourage to Chang'an for the imperial court to deal with them.
In Guzang City, Fan Wenjin and others asked the Tibetan people why they came, and the Tibetan people's answers confused them.
It’s not surprising that the Tubo people wanted to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty. There were many people who knelt down and begged for mercy during the battle. The 80,000 Tibetans’ army was wiped out in Liangzhou. I guess they didn’t have a few 80,000 people.
Afraid of being beaten.
It's just that the opinions of those who came last winter are very different. They are both begging for peace, but they are completely different things.
Those people who wanted to collect the remains of the Tibetan people before had a tougher tone, but they were just envoys sent by the Tibetan generals, so don't worry too much.
Even Fan Wenjin, Zhang Lun and others felt that a Tibetan general was having an affair with a foreign country, so could they take advantage of it?
Now that Songmohachi and his party have arrived, the conditions for peace have completely changed.
The general meaning of the envoy's expression turned out to be that he could hand over the control of the highlands to the Tang Dynasty in exchange for the opportunity to trade with the Tang Dynasty.
Fan Wenjin, Zhang Lun and others could hardly believe their ears. The Tubo people knelt down without any warning, and they knelt down very thoroughly. They wanted to cede territory and seek peace. This was so bad that they just talked about being vassal...
