Something that Guo Daifeng and Ashina Daozhen did not expect finally happened. The Tyuhun people who were taken in took Murong Nuo and Princess Honghua hostage, and made a request to Guo Daifeng and Ashina Daozhen: withdraw from the baggage camp, otherwise they will

Kill Murong Nuo and Princess Honghua.

Now Guo Daifeng and Ashina Dao were really dumbfounded. How could they dare to make the decision on such a big matter without authorization. In desperation, on the one hand, they surrounded the other party and confronted them, and on the other hand, they sent fast horses to Yuan Zai Wuhai.

Xue Rengui on the front line reported the situation.

In this way, these hundreds of Tuyuhun people were surrounded by tens of thousands of Tang troops and were unable to move in the baggage camp. However, Guo Daifeng and Ashina were really afraid of the rat and did not dare to make any move.

Xue Rengui was also surprised after receiving the report. The reason for sending troops this time was to restore the country to Murong Nuo and Princess Honghua. If both of them died, it would be a shitty country! Not only was this war unintentional, but it was also a war against the emperor.

It’s not easy to explain either!

After thinking about it, Xue Rengui issued an order to Guo Daifeng and Ashina Daozhen: The safety of Murong Nuo and Princess Honghua must be ensured. If it is not possible, withdraw from the baggage camp first and wait for his return to help before making the next step.

After the order was sent out, Xue Rengui did not dare to stay any longer and led an army of 20,000 people to rush to Dafeichuan at night to return reinforcements.

With Xue Rengui's order, Guo Daifeng and Ashina Daozhen were relieved. They sent people to negotiate with the Tuyuhun people, but they didn't know that the other party was very tough. As long as they quickly left the baggage camp within two hours, they would let them go.

Murong Nuo and Princess Honghua, otherwise their heads will be sacrificed.

In order to save the lives of Murong Nuo and Princess Honghua, Guo Daifeng and Ashina Daozhen had to withdraw from the camp.

Those Tuyuhun people were also trustworthy, and after they withdrew from the camp, they sent Murong Nuo and Princess Honghua out of the camp as well.

Murong Nuo and Princess Honghua were safe and sound, and Guo Daifeng and Ashina Daozhen breathed a sigh of relief.

But before they could catch their breath, they were shocked to find that fires were everywhere in the baggage camp, and the other party actually started to burn the baggage and supplies.

It's simply too vicious. If the Tang Dynasty's one hundred thousand troops were without supplies and supplies, you can imagine the consequences even if you think on your heels.

Just before Guo Daifeng and Ashina Daozhen came to their senses, nearly 200,000 Tibetan troops descended from the sky to cover up the Tang army.

Didn't it mean that there were only 30,000 to 40,000 Tibetan troops in the Dafeichuan area, and they were all driven to the Wuhai area by Xue Rengui. Where did these 200,000 troops come from?

This 200,000-strong army was the Tuyuhun army serving Tubo. Basically, all the Tuyuhun people who could go into battle were dispatched. Under the leadership of Qinling's younger brother Zanpo, they swept towards the Tang army outside the supply camp like a flood.

Come.

What's ridiculous is that the Tang Dynasty sent troops this time to save these Tuyuhun people from the fire and water and help them restore their country!

Watching the baggage and grain and grass being burned, the Tang army was already panic-stricken, and was suddenly attacked by the Tuyuhun army. The Tang army suddenly fell into chaos. The final result is self-evident. The Tang army was defeated, and it was

A complete failure.

Guo Daifeng and Ashina really wanted to cry. The only thing they could hope for was to see if Xue Rengui could turn the tide after he came back.

What they didn't expect was that Xue Rengui could not protect himself.

The reason why Qin Ling did not appear on the battlefield to attack Guo Daifeng and Ashina was because he had to personally direct the battle against Xue Rengui. Coach vs. coach, so that the status is equal.

Xue Rengui, who made a mental calculation but not accidentally, hurriedly returned for reinforcements, was unexpectedly surrounded by troops led by Qin Ling in the flat and vast Dafeichuan.

Two hundred thousand versus twenty thousand, and Qinling led all Tibetan cavalry.

The Tubo cavalry attacked the increasingly dilapidated defense line of the Tang army like a furious wave, and the dark rain of arrows obscured the sky. On the other side of the defense line, there was no food or reinforcements, and the hungry Tang army fell one after another in a pool of blood in despair.

…

After listening to Guo Qin's story, Lu Xiaoxian realized that Guo Daifeng, Xue Rengui's deputy at that time, was Guo Qin's father. He was speechless after listening to this.

Later generations learned about the Battle of Dafeichuan from history books. Lu Xiaoxian has always had doubts about this battle. The military discipline of the Tang Dynasty was extremely strict, and Guo Daifeng was a famous general and fought on the battlefield for decades.

, it stands to reason that disobeying military orders is absolutely impossible.

Now it seems that Guo Daifeng should have been made a scapegoat.

In the end, the responsibility for the defeat was attributed to Guo Daifeng's disobedience, just to save the face of the Tang Dynasty. To put it bluntly, it was to save the face of Emperor Gaozong. He could not let the world know the truth about Tuyuhun's heartfelt support for Tibet and his rebellion against the Tang army.

In order to calm the dispute, Emperor Gaozong had no choice but to punish the defeated.

Since Xue Rengui and Gaozong had a special relationship, Gaozong would naturally not let Xue Rengui bear this responsibility.

Ashina Daozhen was the grandson of Chuluo Khan. He had a noble status and high prestige among the Turks. He also led his headquarters to assist in the war as a vassal. His status was relatively aloof, so naturally he could not bear this responsibility.

Since neither of them can do it, but someone must take responsibility, a scapegoat is needed. Obviously, Guo Daifeng is the best candidate to bear the responsibility. Therefore, later Guo Daifeng did not obey the rules and was slowed down with his heavy supplies.

The conclusion of the complete defeat of the Tubo army's attack.

Guo Daifeng was unjustly made a scapegoat and saved Gaozong's face. Naturally, Gaozong could not be cruel again. Otherwise, even if Guo Daifeng had ten heads, they would not be enough for Gaozong to chop him off.

After the return of the three Tang generals, Xue Rengui was only removed from office. Soon after, due to the rebellion of Goryeo, he was appointed again. After that, he went to the northwest frontier to fight against the Turks, because the remaining power of the "Three Arrows Ding Tianshan" still existed.

It is said that when the Turks saw him, they still "looked at each other with pale eyes and dismounted their horses to worship him."

Ashina Daozhen still has a distinguished status and enjoys preferential treatment from the court.

Only Guo Taifeng, after being removed from the list, suffered a lifetime of infamy and eventually died of depression.

Lu Xiaoxian suddenly understood why Guo Qin burst into tears when the Battle of Dafeichuan was mentioned that day. He was complaining about his father.

Lu Xiaoxian still had a question in his mind. He asked Guo Qin: "Your Majesty, Xue Rengui, how did Ashina escape from Da Feichuan?"

The Tang Dynasty expeditionary force was completely annihilated in Dafeichuan, and Tubo won a comprehensive victory in the Dafeichuan battle. But the last scene that happened was quite strange. The history book said: "Rengui, wait for the title of Ashina Daozhen and escape."

"Escape." In other words, the three Tang Army generals escaped from the encirclement. Not only did the three of them save their lives, but Murong Nuo and Princess Honghua were also safe.

Chao returned to Liangzhou again.

Unless the Tibetan general Qin Ling was a philanthropist or a mental patient, or he felt sorry for his defeated generals and sent them back, there is no way to explain this.

Guo Qin shook his head: "I don't know about this. I never heard my father mention it!"

Lu Xiaoxian sighed, maybe the truth of this matter will forever remain a mystery.

He looked at Guo Qin with bright eyes: "Is it because of this reason that you hate the Tuyuhun people so much that you kill them to vent your anger?"

"There were 200,000 Tuyuhun people who participated in the Battle of Dafeichuan back then. Even if I hated them, I couldn't kill them all. As for those I killed, they deserved to die!" Guo Qin gritted his teeth and said, "Although my father betrayed me, I couldn't kill them all."

Although he was infamous, he did not have any dissatisfaction with Emperor Gaozong, Xue Rengui and Ashina Daozhen. However, he always held a grudge against the Tuyuhun people who kidnapped Murong Nuo and Princess Honghua. If it were not for them, the food and supplies would not have been burned.

, there would have been no subsequent big defeat! Before my father died, he looked up to the sky and sighed, even if he went to the underworld as a ghost, he would not let these people go!"

Lu Xiaoxian suddenly realized: "You mean, these Tuyuhun people you killed were all involved in robbing people and burning grain and grass back then?"

"Yes, it's them!" The answer was not Guo Qin, but Murong Kan, who had been silent all this time. "I sent people to kill these people. There were more than 300 of them in total back then, excluding those who died in battle and illness.

In addition, there are still 111 people left, including 23 people in Liangzhou and Lingzhou, 29 people in Tuyuhun's hometown, and 59 people in Taozhou City. Before this, one person has been killed

There are one hundred and ten people, including Zeng Cha who died two days ago, there are exactly one hundred and eleven people, and no one has slipped through the net!"

Lu Xiaoxian asked strangely: "It is reasonable for Governor Guo to kill them. You are the Tuyuhun royal family, why do you want to get rid of them quickly?"

"Nothing else!" Murong Kan sighed, "Because I promised my dead brother..."

It turned out that although Murong Kan was Murong Nuo's younger brother, he didn't like to be pampered in the royal family and yearned for a life of chivalry and righteousness. He left home and wandered around the world when he was very young.

Murong Kan was very lucky. Because of his good aptitude, he was valued by the leader of the Tiansha Sect and was accepted as his disciple, and he learned good martial arts.

Later, after the previous sect leader passed away, Murong Kan succeeded him and became the new sect leader of the "Tiansha" sect.

According to theory, Murong Kan and Murong Nuo were already on two separate paths. However, after the Battle of Dafeichuan, Murong Nuo was ashamed and angry and sent people to find Murong Kan, asking him to help him avenge himself and kill those who betrayed Tuyuhun.

The traitor Murong Kan did not want to participate in this matter, so he rejected his brother.

Three years ago, Murong Nuo fell ill and was about to die soon. Before his death, he told Princess Honghua to find Murong Kan back.

When Murong Kan saw his brother, he was already dying. He forced Murong Nuo to swear a poisonous oath to get rid of those traitors and the culprit Qin Ling, otherwise he would never rest in peace. In order to let his brother leave in peace, Murong Kan had no choice but to make a serious vow.

oath.

As a result, Guo Qin and Murong Kan were originally two unrelated people, but they came together for a common goal. Guo Qin used his identity as governor to provide information and convenience in the open, while Murong Kan secretly used "
