Gongbu, Tenzin's commander of ten thousand men, was a brave general. After the military meeting, he returned to his tent. He had a sullen face and said nothing. His mind was filled with the Tang army's powerful weapon that could shoot continuously. A close friend came over.
, after saluting, he said: "Sir, someone is looking for you."
"Who?" Gonpo asked with a cold face.
"A small talk about the Lord's house."
"Xiao Lun? Why did he send someone here? Has he been exposed?" Gongbu's expression changed drastically. If Tenzin found out that he was connected with Xiao Lun, the consequences would be disastrous. He had unintentional intentions and was about to refuse, but he remembered the terror of Tang Jun.
The repeated crossbow appeared, and he changed his words like a ghost: "Bring him in quickly."
Soon, a man was brought in and saluted respectfully. Gonbu recognized the man and asked bluntly: "It's you. Why did Lord Xiao Lun send you here?"
"Back to my lord, the younger one from Xiao Lun is here to ask you two questions."
"explain."
"Yes, sir." The other party bowed respectfully again, and then said seriously: "Master Xiaolun, I want to ask you, the Tang army could not advance into Tubo before, but now it can send a large army in, maybe more troops can be sent in?"
"Of course, if there is one, there are two." Gonbu said casually, wondering, what is the problem?
The other party continued: "Master Xiaolun wants to ask you a second question. Since the Tang army can send more people to fight in, is Tibet their opponent?"
"this……"
Gonbu wanted to say some heroic words, but inexplicably, the dense rain of crossbows flashed through his mind, and he asked: "How about Qin Ling really led an army of 100,000 to fight, and was defeated?"
"Sir, I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I heard that it didn't stop all night. Someone attacked several places in Luoxe City. They continued the attack early the next morning, and then stopped."
"That means he has been here before, but now he has disappeared. I'm afraid he was really defeated." Gongbu said thoughtfully, and there was a murmur in his heart. Qinling's military capabilities were among the best in Tubo. An army of 100,000 was defeated in one night. This
How is it possible? Even the Qinling expedition failed, but Tenzin can do it?
Thinking of this, Gonpot's mood became complicated. He looked at the visitor and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"My lord, you haven't answered the second question of the essay yet, so I can't talk about the rest."
Gonbu thought carefully. If the Tang army could send many people in, with its continuous and terrifying weapons, it would only take 50,000 to sweep the entire Tubo. Tubo would never be able to stop the Tang army, not to mention the royal family and nobles.
Once caught and killed, Tubo will be leaderless, everyone will be king, and civil strife will break out. What can be done to stop it?
Although Gonbo didn't want to admit it, his reason told him that he really couldn't stop it. He hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "If the Tang army increases its troops, Tibet will indeed not be its opponent."
The other party continued: "To discuss your third question, since Tubo is invincible, where should you go?"
"What...what do you mean?" Gonbu's eyes widened and his breathing became rapid.
"I don't know, I just paraphrase."
Gonpo's expression changed, and his heart was in a state of confusion. He suddenly realized a cruel question. Since Tubo was going to be defeated sooner or later, where should he go? Should he follow Tenzin and fight to the end?
But if I don’t fight, what will I do?
Gonbu was unsure of the other party's intentions and said in a deep voice: "Tubo is the Tubo of the Tibetan people. As a Tibetan warrior, naturally he will fight to the end and never give in."
The other party was not annoyed and continued: "Master Xiaolu asked me to ask the last question. If you choose to follow Tenzin and fight to the end, and Tenzin, for his own selfish desires, will not even care about the life and death of his father-in-law and his family who supported him to rise to power, what will happen in the future?"
What will happen to you?"
Gonbu's face froze and he looked at the other party intently, as if he had been struck by lightning.
A voice kept ringing in his mind - if he didn't even care about the life and death of his father-in-law and his family who had supported Tenzin in his rise to power, what good could he gain?
In a war with no hope at all, even if you win, you won't get any benefits, so why persist? What do you want?
I can't figure out the key point. Tenzin doesn't even care about his father-in-law. How can he care about the interests of those below him?
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Gonbu's thoughts became different. He stared at the person who came and said, "Master Xiaolun is kind to Gongbu. This life of Gongbu belongs to Mr. Xiaolun. What are your orders from Mr. Xiaolun?"
"
The other party said seriously: "The Tang army can recruit the Tubo people into an army, give them a temporary army designation, and promise to be Tang people, and can also accept the surrender of the Tubo army. At this time of life and death for Tubo, whether to exterminate the entire nation or integrate into the country."
Tang, please make your decision early, this is your chance."
If he wanted to surrender as soon as he came up, Gonpo would definitely resist, but after asking four questions in succession, Gonpo was shaken and understood the situation. He also understood Tenzin clearly and knew that there was no point in fighting.
He said that his death would be in vain. If he could climb to the high position of captain of ten thousand men, he would naturally be ambitious and would never settle down.
The military tent became quiet, and the silence was depressing.
Not long after, someone outside shouted: "General Gonpot, my lord asked you to lead the army to attack Luoche City. My lord will personally hold the battle for you. It must be decided in a battle."
"I know." Gonbu recognized that it was Tenzin's herald. He agreed and hurried to the entrance of the military tent. He asked you to return immediately after the herald left. He looked at the messenger and asked, "If you surrender to the Tang army, what should you do?"
How to act, and how to arrange the Tang army?"
"Sir Xiao Lun said, don't make any conditions first. If you can accept it, it's good. Show your strength and worth to prove yourself. The military system of the Tang Army stipulates rewards for merit and punishment for demerits. Naturally, generals with meritorious deeds will not be treated badly. If the Tang Army is offended by making demands,
What if we don’t accept surrender?”
Gonpo was a little angry when he heard this. He was a dignified captain with over 10,000 elite soldiers. He didn't even give an explanation for his surrender. Who would do it? But then he thought about it, he really didn't have the qualifications to bargain, even if he won it in anger.
So what if we killed all the Tang troops inside Luoxue City to become discouraged? It would still not change the fate of Tubo's destruction of the country.
At this moment, Gonpot hesitated.
The messenger hesitated for a moment and continued: "Sir, Sir Xiao Lun said that surrendering the army must have the attitude of surrendering. If you want more, you must produce a surrender certificate. Why should the Tang army give it if you haven't achieved even an inch of merit?"
"Understood, what else do you have to say, Mr. Xiao Lun?" Gonbu realized that he was surrendering on his own initiative, not that the Tang army was begging for surrender, and he really had no right to make demands.
"Burn the food and grass, and then lead the troops into the trenches. Arrangements will be made. You know this much."
"I understand. Let's go back. Remember to take a detour so you don't get exposed."
The other party nodded, turned and left.
Gongbu suddenly drew his sword and made a decision in his heart. Even if Qinling failed to capture Luoche City, he would be just cannon fodder if he led his own troops to make wedding clothes for the people behind him. The general's order had been issued. It would be impossible not to attack, so he might as well
Inverted.
The next moment, Gonpot arranged for a close army to ambush nearby and called all the captains and centurions. He also imitated the messenger and asked four questions in succession. After asking everyone's hearts, he said directly: "I am going to prepare."
Surrender to the Tang army, and if you are willing to join us, we will still be brothers. If you are unwilling to leave, we will go our separate ways from now on."
Everyone looked hesitant and did not immediately agree, but no one objected.
There was a depressing atmosphere in the military tent.
Not long after, the two people exchanged glances and each found an excuse to leave. Gonbu had long suspected that these two people were bribed by Tenzin, but he did not stop them. A cold look flashed in his eyes.
They had already publicly declared rebellion, how could they allow people to leave and report? The two of them walked outside and walked a short distance before someone slashed their necks with a knife and dragged them away.
No one in the military tent heard the noise and were all thinking. Gongbu became impatient and said: "Everyone, Master Tenzin has given an order for us to attack Luoche City. Even if Qinling's 100,000-strong army cannot capture it,
, can we take it down with 10,000 people? No, it’s absolutely impossible. You have also seen the weapon that shoots continuously. If I wait for 10,000 people to go up, I will die. I will be cannon fodder. Are you willing to help those behind me?"
Everyone thought, yes! If you don't rebel, you will have to attack Luoshou City, become cannon fodder, and become a wedding dress. In the end, there is only one end - death! Although surrendering to the Tang army will also lead to death and a bad reputation, at least there is a glimmer of hope.
, if you win the battle correctly, you will be the Tang Army in the future. The Tang Army's military pay and treatment are not low, and everyone has a way to survive.
Thinking of this, everyone turned around and nodded.
"General, it's done."
"Yes, we are all going to die anyway, so why not choose a fight that is beneficial to us?"
"If you are against it, just be against it. It is not bad to follow the Tang army!"
Everyone expressed their opinions one after another and became excited.
Gonpo was convinced, smiled, and said immediately: "It's not too late, brothers, make preparations when you go back. The food and grass are closest to us. Burn the food and grass, hand in a surrender letter, and you won't be able to stand up when you get to the Tang Army."
Waist, this battle is at stake for everyone’s lives and fortunes, so we must not let the news leak out, so go ahead.”
Everyone agreed and withdrew from the military tent.
Gonbu called his close confidants to the commander of the army and warned him: "You lead people to patrol the camp. Once you find someone leaving, go to the direction of the Chinese army and kill them directly. You must not leak the news."
The other party nodded and hurried away.
Not long after, the army was ready for battle. Gonbu stood in front of the army on horseback. He glanced at the few captains behind him. Everyone nodded. Gongbu felt confident and led the army to rush towards the camp where the food and grass were piled up.
The defenders in the camp were startled and hurriedly blocked the situation. They were shot by a random arrow and fell to the ground. The army rushed in and prevented fire everywhere under the strict orders of the commander and centurion. The soldiers didn't know why, but they were used to obeying and acting. Even if they guessed
Nothing will stop them, they are all members of the same tribe, so just follow along and be done with it.
The sudden attack disrupted the camp where grain and grass were stored. Fires were everywhere, like locusts crossing the border, burning into a mess. When Gonpot saw a group of soldiers coming out of the diagonal thorns, they also set fire to burn grain. He immediately realized that Xiao Lian was not just a soldier.
One person was sent out to lobby, and more people chose to surrender to the Tang army.
Seeing this scene, Gongfu felt lucky. Even if he didn't surrender, others would be defeated. Tenzin would also be defeated, and he would die without a burial place. Then he would be looking for death. It was different now. If there were too many people who surrendered to the Tang army, they might not necessarily die.
The two armies soon met, and Gonbu saw that he was also a captain of ten thousand men. He usually didn't deal with him very much, but he didn't expect that he was also a person who made small talk. At this moment, his previous indifference disappeared, and he felt like he was the same person who had fallen from the world.
Feeling so moved, he shouted: "Lausang, I didn't expect you to come too. How about we unite sincerely in the future?"
They all surrendered to the army. Only by teaming up can they develop better. Luosang is not stupid to climb to the high position of Captain of Ten Thousands. He laughed and said: "Okay, what is in the past is in the past. It is not a big deal anyway. We will work together in the future."
"Hahaha!"
The two laughed in tacit understanding, joined forces, killed the food camp, and then walked away. They did not go straight to the direction of Luoche City. There was Tenzin's Chinese army there, so they ran farther away and prepared to go around.
past.
At the Chinese army's position, Tenzin's face instantly darkened when he saw this scene. Looking at the other generals around him, his eyes became a little more suspicious. He always felt that the other party would betray him, and a feeling of uneasiness surged into his heart.
After earning 20,000 yuan at once, the morale of the army is unstable. The key is not knowing if there are others?
If someone stabs you in the back at a critical moment, how will you fight this battle?
Inexplicably, Tenzin felt a little regretful in his heart. If he directly led his army to surrender, his status with the Tang army would never be low. It was too late to say anything now.
The situation has become awkward - attack, worry about rebelling behind the scenes, retreat, and wait to be liquidated in the future.
There is no way to go forward, and there is no way back to go back.
Tenzin was inexplicably irritable and wished he could kill someone. He held the sword tightly and made a rattling noise.
On Luoche City.
Qin Huaidao saw the chaos in the enemy's rear and a large army coming out. He was moved and smiled. He knew that those letters and the people sent out to lobby had worked. No matter whether those people escaped or came to surrender to the Tang army, it would be a major blow to Tenzin.
In this battle, the situation was reversed.
"It's done." Duan Zan also said excitedly, his eyes were sharp, and he sighed: "Your Excellency uses troops like a god, and the general admires him from the bottom of his heart. If this happens, Tenzin will not dare to attack, and may even retreat. What will we do next?
What to do? Do you want to pursue me?"
"There's no need. If one person surrenders, two or three of the top Tibetan officials will be arrested, plus various letters to persuade them to surrender. No one is a fool. They will think about the future and their own path. Let's wait." Qin Huaidao.
I felt relieved. If someone surrendered, it meant that my thinking was right, and I could let those senior officials continue to write letters of surrender.
The more people surrender, the more they will follow. Even those who are unwilling have to face reality.
It's nothing more than going up to the army and making plans.
After waiting for a while, Tenzin did not dare to bet on whether anyone around him would betray him. In addition, the food was burned, so he ordered the army to retreat slowly. However, he led some people to the front of the formation and shouted loudly: "General of the Tang Army, do you dare to come out?
answer?"
"If you fart, let it go!" Duan Zan scolded him unceremoniously.
Tenzin's face turned livid with anger, and he shouted: "Why did someone betray me, and how did you do it?"
"Why should I tell you?" Duan Zan sneered.
Qin Huaidao pulled him and signaled to stop talking. Seeing that Tenzin looked angry and was about to leave, he shouted: "Want to know the reason? I tell you, because you attacked Luoche City for your own selfish desires, even the people who supported you to rise to power
Your father-in-law doesn't care about life or death, which makes your subordinates feel cold. There will be no good end for following a white-eyed wolf like you."
Kill people, kill your heart!
These words made Tenzin's face change drastically, and made the people who followed Tenzin have complicated thoughts. Everyone didn't think much about it at first, but they had to think more after hearing these words.
Tenzin came here to understand the situation, so as to guard against subtle changes and avoid betrayal. When he saw the complicated expressions of the people around him, his heart skipped a beat. He knew that he was in serious trouble. He locked his cold eyes on Qin Huaidao and said coldly: "What a cruel method, my lord.
Remember you."
Duan Zan became angry when he heard this: "If you want to fight, then fight. If you don't want to fight, get out. I will chop off your head sooner or later."
Tenzin's eyes were fierce and he wanted to say a few harsh words, but he held it back and left with a cold face.
Half an hour later, Tenzin's army moved farther and farther away and disappeared from sight. The two armies circled around and stopped near the trench position to show goodwill. Gonpot and Luosang came to negotiate in person, showing full sincerity.
Wang Meng came out to greet him. After some greetings, Gongbu asked bluntly: "I am willing to surrender, but I don't know how the Tang army will arrange it. Please ask for instructions so that my brothers can feel at ease."
"This matter is important and I need to ask the general for instructions. You two will come with me." Wang Meng also said calmly, motioning for the two of them to follow him and led them to the gate of Luoxue City and briefly explained the situation.
When Qin Huaidao heard that they were the generals who had come to surrender, he went out of the city to receive them to show his sincerity. They were both soldiers and there was no need to mince words. He said bluntly: "The two generals came to surrender. I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of the court. The specific reward is a matter for the Holy One. I
The official has no authority, but he can guarantee two things. First, the army in Gonpot is temporarily organized into the Second Assistance Army of the Tang Dynasty, referred to as the Temporary Second Army. The army in Luosang is temporarily organized into the Temporary Third Army. It can be rearranged by the Holy Spirit in the future.
good?"
Needless to say, those recruited were a temporary army.
The two of them didn't understand what the temporary formation of the first army was, but they didn't dare to object and nodded.
Qin Huaidao continued: "Your people need to be reorganized according to the regulations of the Tang Army. Of course, you two don't have to worry. I will not arrange for anyone to seize power. The officers are still your own, but in another way, a group of ten people, free
Form a team, select the team leader yourself, and then the team leader will select the team leader, and so on, General Wang will help you make the adaptation, do you have any objections?"
The two of them were not stupid. They knew that the existing officers would have to be reshuffled. They would rise to the top based on their ability. Those cronies who had been supported but had no merit would be eliminated. Moreover, the officers selected in this way would have great influence on Datang.
Closer, more recognized.
A simple adaptation of a move can gain the support of the army at no cost. This method made the two of them realize that the person in front of them was not simple, but he was already here and could not go back, so they had no choice but to agree.
Qin Huaidao could see that the two of them were a little unwilling, but he didn't care and continued: "After talking about the adaptation, let's talk about the treatment issue. From today on, you are the Tang Army. All treatment will be according to the Tang Army standards. You will receive military pay every month.
After you finish adapting it, I will arrange for someone to send you money, which will be used as military pay for this month."
Adaptation is to recruit capable people to improve combat effectiveness, and the military salary is directly to win over.
After receiving military pay from the Tang Army, everyone will have a sense of belonging. Although this sense of belonging is still very weak, at least there are signs of it, and things will naturally change over time.
Gonpot and Luosang also knew this, and even had a sense of crisis that the army was out of control, but they had no choice but to agree. Qin Huaidao smiled with satisfaction: "Pointing to the other side of Luoshu City, he said: "Gonpot, your
The troops go to the other side to build trenches. Lausanne, your troops go to the back and the front is left alone. How about that?"
"Obey the order!" The two of them also knew that it was impossible for the army to enter the city and become a hidden danger. Besides, those who had been recruited were digging trenches and garrisoning outside the city. What else could they say?
Three large armies were stationed on the left, right and rear, and the front was open. This way Luozhe City would be much safer. As for whether Gongpot and Luosang would rebel again, Qin Huaidao didn't care and wasn't afraid. The worst he could do was to fight and retreat. He continued.
: "I will send a thousand men each to assist in the defense. You have also seen the battle of the temporary army just now. At the critical moment, our army will rush forward to suppress the formation and live and die with everyone. It is okay if it is not necessary."
How did the two of them know whether Qin Huaidao was telling the truth or a lie? Thinking of the Tang army that had defeated five thousand people with a barrage of crossbows, they were immediately moved and quickly expressed their stance. Anyway, they had surrendered, and there were an extra thousand people.
It would be better for the Tang army to rush out at the critical moment.
The negotiation was quite harmonious. Wang Meng took the two of them away. Qin Huaidao returned to Luoche City to explain the situation. Duan Zan reminded him with some worry: "Sir, if you send another two thousand people out, it means that there are three thousand people outside.
Zhang Yu took away two thousand, leaving only five thousand left."
"Five thousand is quite a lot, not to mention if the outer perimeter is well defended, there will be no pressure on Luoshu City. Please arrange it. Two thousand are responsible for the security of the city and prisoner custody, and three thousand are responsible for guarding the city."
Duan Zan was right. The outer perimeter was secured and there was no fighting in the city. It would not be a big problem if there were more people or less people. He was about to make arrangements when he heard Qin Huaidao continue to say: "Tenzin has withdrawn his troops and will not come back for the time being. We will return the original troops."
The promised distribution continues. Many enemy horses were injured in the battle just now, and they were all killed to stimulate the morale of the army and give everyone time to send them home. It is not easy to work hard for your family."
"Understood." Duan Zan has led troops for many years, and he also knows that there is no joke in the army. Promises must be fulfilled, otherwise the morale of the army will be lost. Once fulfilled, the morale of the army will be even higher. Anyway, they are captured trophies, so there is no need to keep them.
It might break. I thought about it and couldn't help but remind me: "What if I go and never come back?"
"Once people have the opportunity to change themselves, they will not give up easily. Moreover, if other people see that our army has fulfilled its promise and there is real money to be taken, more people may come over. If they really don't come, forget it. Go ahead.
.”
Duan Zan agreed and left, selected two generals, and gave them careful instructions, asking them to bring enough arrows and other materials out of the city. He then took a batch of silver and went to reward them in person. The reward was calculated on a head-to-head basis, and each head was equal to one silver.
They were all searching the royal treasury and the houses of officials and nobles, so I didn't feel sorry for them.
Soon, deafening cheers erupted from the trench positions.
Qin Huaidao knew that the morale of the army was stable. Even if some people did not come, it would not matter. Fulfilling the promise would give peace of mind to the 20,000 troops in Kampot and Lausanne, give rise to hope, and stabilize the morale of the army.
A leader should plan for the overall situation.
After the silver reward was distributed, a temporary army hurried home carrying the horse meat and silver they had received, with smiles on their faces. Gonpot and Luosang were so curious that they came to inquire. After learning about the situation, they responded to the Tang army.
With some admiration and peace of mind, I immediately went back to explain the situation.
When the troops heard that Tang Jun had fulfilled his promise and actually rewarded them with silver, they were all overjoyed. The passive rebellion was not pleasant to the eyes of the school. Who is fighting with but not a war? It is more secure and more motivating to fight with someone who keeps his promise.
With this news, the army's reorganization progressed much more smoothly. After the reorganization, military pay was also brought in. Everyone saw that they had received money when they arrived, and there was a lot of money. The officers and soldiers who were used to not having military pay felt respected, and they had a lot of respect for Tang Jun.
I agreed very much. After receiving the money, my heart felt warm and my thoughts became different.
The next step is to dig trenches. I have seen the power of trenches and know that this thing can save lives. No one is lazy, so I work enthusiastically.
On the city wall, Qin Huaidao was greatly reassured when he saw this scene.
At this time, a scout came on horseback, rushed to the city gate, stopped, clasped his fists and said: "Sir, the enemy army retreated ten miles to set up camp. In addition, a large army came from the west, with a total of 50,000 people, and was marching slowly.
The purpose is unknown.”
"Explore again!"
"Follow the order!"
Qin Huaidao watched the scouts leave and quickly analyzed in his mind that marching slowly did not mean that there was no hostility. He might also be saving power and charging when he got close. However, who came from the west was the confidant general Songtsen Gampo persuaded him by writing a letter?
Immediately ask two team members to protect the village to take Songtsen Gampo.
If you are an ambitious person, once you join forces with Tenzin, this battle will be really difficult to fight, mainly because you arrive too quickly. If you arrive a day later, you won't be afraid if the trenches are built.
After waiting for a while, Songtsen Gampo was brought in. After learning about the situation, he looked to the west and was not sure whether it was the person he had called. Unfortunately, no trace of the army could be seen.
The two chatted for a while, and then a scout hurried over and shouted: "Sir, the army from the west has set up camp ten miles away, and its general has led a few people over, saying that he wants to surrender to our army."
"Surrender?" Qin Huaidao said and looked into the distance. Several people came slowly on horseback. They saw that there was indeed no hostility. He was overjoyed. If 50,000 troops surrendered, the pressure would be reduced a lot. He looked at Songtsen Gampo.
Asked: "Is this person one of yours?"
When Songtsan Gampo saw the general clearly, his eyes lit up: "It is my sister-in-law Dorje. I believe him rightly."
Qin Huaidao did not dare to let down his guard. Not to mention his sister-in-law, his own son-in-law Tenzin also rebelled against his father-in-law. He cheered up and looked at the person coming, while thinking quickly about countermeasures.
Not long after, several people came over and said something in Tubo. Qin Huaidao didn't understand a word of it. Seeing Songtsen Gampo answering something in surprise, he didn't stop him. He decided to take a look first and looked at the speaker. He saw his thick eyebrows.
He has big eyes and is quite handsome. His smile is a bit hearty and he doesn't look like a sinister person.
The two sides chatted for a while, and then the other party clasped his fists and saluted, and then shouted to Qin Huaidao in Tang dialect, which he was not very proficient in: "Sir, I am Duoji, and I have led the Western Army to surrender. Because they are stationed at the border, they cannot all come. I will leave 50,000, and only take 50,000 with me."
If Wan comes here, please forgive me."
Qin Huaidao returned the courtesy and said: "General Duoji is very polite. Your army of 50,000 has been reorganized into the temporary Fourth Army. It will be treated according to the standards of the Tang Army. It will still be led by you. I heard that a camp has been set up, so stay in place and monitor Tenzin. Tenzin suffered more than 10,000 losses."
, 20,000 surrendered, and the remaining 70,000 are panic-stricken and the morale of the army is unstable. Tenzin does not trust anyone at the moment. If there is an opportunity, your army can send troops on its own if it finds a fighter opportunity."
Even if you come to vote at the invitation of Songtsen Gampo, you still need to submit a certificate of name.
He can only be trusted if he fights Tenzin.
Duoji also understood this truth. Hearing that Qin Huaidao said so much to ask him to send troops, he agreed and took the people away. A person next to him said dissatisfiedly: "Sir, the Tang army probably wants to weaken our army's strength."
"So what? We have no choice. We must surrender to the Tang army so that we can have a foothold in the future. Qinling's defeat and Tenzin's defeat also indicate that the Tang army is difficult to fight. Tubo will destroy the country sooner or later. If we don't express sincerity now,
We will be nothing in the future." Dorje reminded.
"But……"
"Okay, I know what you want to say, but have you ever thought about it. Tenzin lost more than 10,000 people and 20,000 people defected to the Tang army. How can the internal stability be stabilized? I am sure that Tenzin is skeptical of everyone around him at this time.
Such an attitude will only aggravate the civil strife, causing many people to become disloyal and have no military morale at all. Otherwise, Tenzin would not have retreated. If our army captures Tenzin, it will take the opportunity to gain power and gain the trust of the Tang army, killing two birds with one stone.
"
"Your Excellency is wise!" Everyone reacted and agreed.
"The situation in Tubo is about to change. We don't have the ability to conquer the world, so we should just surrender to the Tang army and strive for a better future. The Tang country is rich, and it would be great if we could settle in Chang'an in this life." Duoji sighed with emotion, whipped his horsewhip, and shouted:
"Let's go back and discuss how to swallow this piece of fat Tenzin."
"Sir, how rich is the Tang state?"
"Sir, the women of the Tang Dynasty are beautiful, can we marry one?"
"I've never been there, so how do I know? I heard from the caravans that people live in airtight houses and it's like spring all year round. It's not like the cold and barren land here where we don't have to worry about starving or freezing to death on the roadside.
, don’t worry about being bullied, don’t pick up things on the road, don’t close your door at night, it’s a paradise on earth, and all the nations come to visit.”
"So good? Then we must go to Tang Kingdom!"
"Yes, yes... go to Tang Kingdom!"
Everyone said excitedly, and they all raced to catch up with him, their eyes extremely eager.
