Without any hesitation, Sang Chiruo put on his armor, took his personal guards with him, and ordered the elite Shankai Army to accompany him, and rushed as quickly as possible to the front camp several miles away.
When Sang Chiruo arrived, the Tibetan army, which was subordinate to the noble tribes, had already prepared its troops and was ready to go.
Tubo's second prime minister, Dunrenzeng, was riding on his horse and was lecturing his generals, asking them to capture Chang'an within today.
When Sang Chiruo saw this, he shouted on the spot: "Who dares to leave the camp today?!"
The appearance of Sang Chiruo made the situation in the front camp suddenly complicated.
On one side is the Tubo Grand Theory, and on the other side is the leader of the Tubo nobles.
The servants who were planning to leave the camp stopped one after another, looked at the two men, and hesitated.
Dun Renzeng stared at Sang Chiruo and asked bitterly: "Doesn't the theory allow us to avenge the deaths of our clansmen?"
Sang Chiruo had no intention of answering Dun Renzin's question. At this time, there was only anger left in his body.
Secondary Prime Minister Tun Renzin actually dared to use troops privately. This move had completely violated Sang Chiruo's bottom line.
The latter had no intention of showing any mercy and shouted angrily: "Dun Renzin, you are so brave!"
Dun Renzin: "Twenty thousand Tibetan soldiers were buried alive. Looking at the history of Tibet, this is an unprecedented shame. Dasun does not want revenge at this time, but he wants to retreat. Is it possible that the eagle spreading its wings on the plateau has now
Are you afraid of the sky and only willing to keep company with poultry?"
Hearing this, Sang Chiruo was furious: "I am the leader of this army. What you are doing now is seeking death!"
Dun Renzeng knew clearly in his heart that if the Tibetan army really retreated, then even if he did not die when he returned to his clan, he would probably be completely hopeless for the rest of his life.
Therefore, he now has no way out and can only move forward.
Dun Renzeng waved his horsewhip and said to the servants of the nobles: "Today we are attacking Chang'an. If anyone is willing to come with me, after the city is defeated, the wealth and slaves will be free to choose from!"
Upon hearing this, many servants' eyes flashed with greed.
Dun Renzeng: "Not only can you take it if you seize it, but as long as it is a person who has done meritorious service, once he returns to Tubo, his true identity will be the guarantee, and his tribe and family will be promoted to nobles!"
As soon as this statement came out, the servants were even more excited.
Sang Chiruo's eyes had slowly turned cold at this time. He turned around, looked at Yin Tu, the general of the Shankai Army behind him, and nodded lightly.
Yin Tu took out an ax from his arms, gathered enough strength, and threw it at Dun Renzeng with all his strength.
There was only a puff sound, and the flying ax completely penetrated into the back of Dun Renzin's heart, creating a gap in his back.
The huge impact knocked the Tibetan Prime Minister off his horse.
Don Renzin never dreamed that Sang Chiruo would dare to directly attack the Tibetan nobles in public and kill himself as the Tibetan deputy prime minister.
In his blurred vision, Tun Renzeng looked at his chest.
The ax blade passed through the chest, breaking the sternum and then opening it.
On his deathbed, Tun Rigzin could even see his own beating internal organs.
After a period of struggle, Tun Rigzin breathed his last, his eyes full of hatred and unwillingness.
As soon as Dun Renzeng died, the other nobles were so frightened that they quickly got off their horses and knelt down in front of Sang Chiruo, begging for forgiveness.
However, Sang Chiruo ignored those nobles who acted according to the prevailing circumstances.
He drove his horse slowly to Tun Renzin's body, lowered his head and looked at it for a long time.
Tun Rigzin was one of the first people to follow Sang Triruo.
Back then, Sang Chiruo used a plan to assassinate Tubo ancestor Zan, and Dun Renzeng was one of the executors of the plan.
The tribe to which the other party belongs is one of the powerful clans in the Tubo king's tent, and is inextricably linked to many Dongben and Dongdai in Tubo.
But now, Dun Renzin is dead, and he died in the hands of Sang Chiruo.
In the latter's heart, the anger slowly subsided, and a trace of regret and reflection began to arise.
Sang Chiruo always felt that throughout the whole thing, from beginning to end, he was being led by the nose to move forward.
What exactly went wrong?
After thinking for a long time, a person's name suddenly popped into Sang Chiruo's mind.
Kong You, the counselor of the Tang army, the man who had almost killed him with a trick in Dunhuang.
It started with the Tang army setting up an ambush at Fengxiang Pass, then the nobles such as Dun Renzin were captured, the Tang army buried 20,000 Tibetan soldiers alive, and then the Tang army deliberately revealed the spy information to Dun Renzin, and finally the Tang army returned the Tibetan nobles.
The other party had correctly calculated that Dun Renzeng and other nobles had no choice but to continue to attack Chang'an in order to save face and avoid punishment; the other party had also predicted that he was worried about a coup in Tibet, so he was anxious to withdraw his troops; the other party had even predicted that Dun Renzin would
Zenghe himself will definitely create gaps and fight against each other.
Kong You has done so many things, and the ultimate goal is not only to relieve the siege of Chang'an, nor to eliminate the Tibetan army, but to cause the Tibetan high-level officials to confront each other in the strategic direction, and then make Sang Chiruo and the original
Allies began to have conflicts, and finally reached an uncontrollable ending.
But now, Sang Chiruo knew clearly that Kong You had succeeded.
Looking at Dun Renzeng's body on the ground, Sang Chiruo almost gritted his teeth and spat out a sentence: "What a vicious strategy..."
Yin Tu, the general of the Shankui Army, saw that Sang Chiruo had not spoken for a long time, so he came over and asked, "Da Lun, what should we do next?"
Sang Chiruo: "Properly place the body of the deputy prime minister, deal with today's counselors, and order the entire army to prepare to retreat."
Yin Tu glanced in the direction of Chang'an City, finally withdrew his gaze and responded.
The Tibetan army spent a lot of time dealing with the aftermath of the incident involving the Second Prime Minister Tun Renzin.
Among them, not only the parties who disobey military orders must be punished, but also the servants who are loyal to the nobles must be replaced.
In addition, and most importantly, Sang Chiruo understood that the retreat of the Tibetan army could not be smooth sailing.
The Tang army used a strategy to cause internal strife among the Tibetan generals, and then an ambush must have been arranged along the route that the Tibetan army must pass through.
It is easy for the Tubo people to walk down the plateau, but it may be much more difficult to return to the plateau safely.
After the Tubo army broke camp and retreated, Sang Chiruo made various preparations in the army and ordered to march cautiously.
At the same time, the rear army under Guo Xin finally arrived in Jingzhou.
Twenty thousand elite soldiers from Anxi and Beiting were officially included in the Chinese army, ready to fight the Tibetan army at any time.
The baggage brought by the rear army enabled the Tang Army's musketry team to receive supplies, and firearms such as tiger squat cannons, long cannons, etc. were also put into the battlefield.
In addition, Guo Xin printed and sent the military orders issued by the Privy Council to the officials in surrounding states and counties.
According to the request of the imperial court, the chief officials of prefectures and counties transferred the command of their respective palace guards to Guo Xin.
In addition, the rebels recruited by the Tang army in Jingzhou and other areas, as well as the defeated and remnant troops gathered previously.
The army under Guo Xin has now expanded to 65,000 people.
One by one, there was a decline, and the Tibetan army only had about 150,000 people left.
Comparing the two sides, the difference in combat power between the Tang army and the Tubo army is no longer obvious.
The final decisive battle between the two armies is coming soon.
