Tubo Kingdom, Luoxue City, Xiaoma Garden, Wang Ting Ya Zhang.
There was light snow falling in the sky, and many Dongben and generals of the Tibetan army gathered inside and outside the tent. Everyone's face showed unconcealable fear and sadness.
In the Battle of Shibao City, Tubo mobilized its four wings, the Xiangxiong Wing, Duomi Wing, and Bailan Wing, totaling 270,000 troops, to fight against 100,000 Tang troops in Hehuang.
As a result, Shibao City fell, and the Tibetan armies from Dafeichuan and Chiling tried to attack the Tang army's camp from the flanks, but were defeated and defeated.
Just when there was silence in the big tent, a sudden voice suddenly sounded: "Who let this coward in during the military and political discussion?!"
Everyone followed the sound and saw a member of Qianhu, pointing his finger at a young man wearing a fox fur and scolding him.
The young man was not angry at all when faced with the accusation, he just smiled and nodded.
Someone recognized the young man's identity: "Isn't this a coward from the Gar family? I looked at you and you were dressed in fox fur. I thought you were some wild animal and slipped in here."
When Gar Sangchiruo heard these words, he was not ashamed at all. Instead, he smoothed the fox fur on his body with his hands.
Tubo valued military bravery and rewarded warriors who died on the battlefield with tiger and leopard skins, but for cowards who were timid, they hung fox tails on their bodies to show that they were as cowardly as foxes.
Qianhu, who was the first to speak, scolded Sang Chiruo: "You went to war seven times and fled the battlefield seven times. Most of the soldiers who fought alongside you died heroically, and you were the only one who managed to survive!"
Sang Chiruo said with a smile: "Xibonu Qianhu, I think a war with a chance of winning is called war, and a war with no chance of winning is called death."
Sibonu was furious when he heard this and raised his fist to strike.
A roar came from behind the big tent: "How can we be rude when the big discussion is about to begin?!"
When everyone heard this roar, they quickly stopped other actions, held their hearts with their right hands, and bowed in ceremony.
A middle-aged man wearing a white coat and green boots, holding a Brahma in his hand, his face full of furrows, his eyes wide with anger, and his voice like a bell.
Xibonu bowed to the middle-aged man and said, "Dear Jiongzan, this coward of the Gar family will run away from a fight. How can he be qualified to enter Deya's tent?"
Da Lun Jiongzan said: "Letting Gar Sangchiruo participate in the Da Lun is Chide Zuzan's decision."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the tent looked at each other, but no one questioned it.
Da Lun Jiongzan looked around and walked towards the side of the tent...
Not long after, there was a sound of a chime, and a shaman wearing a silver mask and a Bon priest wearing a ghost robe filed out from behind the tent.
Then, an old man sitting on a sedan chair entered the big tent under the service of a group of worshipers.
Everyone saluted the old man in unison and shouted "Chi Dezu Praise".
After carrying the sedan to the ground, Chi Dezuzan looked around. His eyes were already cloudy, but wherever he looked, everyone was frightened.
After a while, Chi De Zuzan waved his hand towards Da Lun Jiongzan.
The latter nodded and ordered the slave guard to get a list and read it out in front of everyone.
The names on the list are all Tibetan generals who participated in the battle of Shibao City.
Every time a person was named, a shaman led the priest and the slave guards out of the tent. After a while, everyone in the tent could hear screams coming from outside. After the list was finished, there were slave guards in the tent.
Several layers of thick leather rugs were spread in the center.
The shaman priests returned to the tent again, bringing back bloody human heads.
The heads were arranged in a row and placed on the carpet. Another priest took out the knife that had been prepared, carefully peeled off the head's face, dug out the eyes, cut off the tongue, and then wrapped it in a black benzene towel.
Paint the golden Brahman Mitra.
When Dong Ben and the generals in the tent saw this scene, their faces turned pale and their bodies trembled slightly.
After the witch priests had finished everything, Chi De Zuzan said in a hoarse voice: "Two hundred and seventy thousand versus one hundred thousand, we had the advantage, but the battle ended like this... These idiots on the ground are incompetent and conceited.
Big, before the war started, I boasted about Haikou over and over again, but it was of no use when the war started."
The strong smell of blood filled the tent.
Chi De Zuzan coughed a few times, saw the silence in the tent, and asked: "The Tang army occupied Tielen City (Shibao City), and Damomen, Mengchi, and Dafeichuan lost their support. How should we prevent it in the future?"
Do you have any ideas?"
The people in the tent looked at each other, no one dared to answer.
Seeing this, Chi Dezuzan was unhappy. He was about to have a fit when he suddenly heard a voice from the crowd: "If Tielen City is lost, Menggu and Chiling will no longer be in danger. It is better to retreat and guard the ambush with heavy troops."
Yi City, using the plateau to block the Tang army's offensive."
Everyone looked toward the voice and saw that the speaker was none other than Sang Chiruo.
Giving up Menggu and Chiling means giving up large tracts of good pasture and woodland. Some people loudly rebuked Sang Chiruo for his ignorance.
Sang Chiruo said calmly: "Although the Tang army was victorious in the battle at Tielen City, it was actually defeated."
Everyone was puzzled.
Sang Chiruo: "In the military report of the Tang army, it was said that the number of dead in this battle was 60,000. I think it is exaggerated. However, even if it is halved, there are still 30,000 casualties, and the battle between Tubo military households
The number of dead was only over 10,000. From this point of view, although the Tang army won, their vitality was severely damaged, and it would be difficult to launch a large-scale battle. Therefore, they retreated to Fuyi City and lengthened the Tang army's supply line.
As a result, the Tang army had to divide its troops to garrison, and Tubo's eastern front would be worry-free."
Regarding Sang Chiruo's proposal, Chi De Zuzan did not comment, just closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Upon seeing this, Da Lun Jiongzan loudly announced the upcoming military and political arrangements for Tubo and announced that the winter lecture had officially begun.
After an hour, the discussion ended.
Dongben and the generals went out one after another, but Sang Chiruo was left behind.
Looking at the heads lined up on the leather rug, Chide Zuzan said to Sang Chiruo: "If you were not from the Gar family, your head should have been placed among them long ago."
Sang Chiruo bowed and said nothing.
Chi Dezu praised: "Your family has made great contributions to Tibet, but it has also made great mistakes."
Hearing this sentence, Sang Chiruo secretly clenched his fists.
Chi Dezu praised: "You have fled several times before. I originally wanted to cancel the qualification of the Gar family as a military household, but in the battle of Tielen City, you successfully blocked the Tang army by setting up an ambush. It is indeed a credit to you. Tell me, you
What reward do you want?"
Sang Chiruo straightened his body, looked at Chide Zuzan and Dalun Jiongzan, and said slowly: "If I guess correctly, Tubo plans to use troops against Big and Little Luobu next. (The Daluobu area is the Shicheng Town area, and Xiaoluobu is
The area is the western part of Dunhuang County)"
Chi De Zuzan and Da Lun Jiongzan were stunned when they heard this.
The latter couldn't help shouting: "How did you know?"
Seeing the smile on Sang Chiruo's face, Chidezuzan thought for a moment and then laughed too: "You want to seek credit for the Gar family?"
Sang Chiruo put his right hand on his heart, bowed and said seriously: "Yes!"
