The brutal purge operation lasted for ten days, but Gao Yue did not give up, he took the 3,000 soldiers captured in the battle of Huating, and the Tang army rode on foot, saying that "the road to the Fan is still in the body", and went southeast, until the junction of Weishui and Wating River.

Across the Weishui, its south bank is the seat of the old rule of Qinzhou - Shangqi, Gao Yue asked the soldiers under his command to use horse lances, long guns, swords, etc., to oppress a string of Tibetan soldiers who were tied to the rope of the horse prisoners, shouting to let Shangtai quickly open the city, otherwise he will take this group of soldiers to attack the city.

Shangqi is only sixty miles away from Chengji Palace Fort, and Shang Jiezan, who learned of the tragic situation, was both hated and afraid, and after discussing with his deputy Xu Li, he sent Ou Qizan as an envoy and said to him: "You go and tell Gao Yue that as long as you can treat my 3,000 captives of Dafan, this theory is willing to cede the state to him, and return Ma Sui, Cui Hanheng, Yuan Tongzhi, Lu Wen and other Tang family ministers." ”

When Ou Qizan heard this request, he was shocked, and begged Shang Jiezan and said:

Xiji robbed the alliance, the Tang family thought that I was one of the masterminds, because I had previously negotiated with Ma Sui and even the Tang family's son of heaven, and then betrayed my promise, and now you let me go to the Gaoyue camp, which is tantamount to letting me go to death.

Shang Jiezan was also helpless, so he could only say to Ou Zhizan: "The soldiers and horses of Shanzhou and Qinghai City will arrive soon, and then this theory will recover the entire area east of Qinzhou. This time you go, you don't have to worry. ”

Ou Chai Zan, who was forced to get on his horse by his own people, crossed the gorge of the Wating River, and entered the camp of Zhigao Yue.

The result was taken for granted, and the soldiers of Gao Yue, Hun Xuan, Yining, and Dingwu armies, when they saw Ou Zhizan, who rolled off their horses and lay down in front of the camp army, knew what kind of character he was:

First of all, when the Baicao Army, the predecessor of the Dingwu Army, fought a bloody battle in Anle Prefecture and intercepted Ma Chongying, it was this person who ran to make clever words, confuse Ma Sui, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, and make it impossible to make it tickle, so that the Tang Army lost the excellent opportunity to completely annihilate Ma Chongying's men and horses, and now the rebels in the south of the Hetao are swarming;

Later, he betrayed his promises, disregarded the Western Tibetan theories, and committed the bloody act of robbing the alliance in Xiji and killing the Tang family and the ministers and soldiers of the alliance.

Immediately, Guo Zaizhen, the Marquis of Zhongyu, set up a "torture pillar" in the center of the camp and school, tied the district cheek praise to it, and let it cry out, "I am the minister who came to discuss peace, and I am also the noble tribute of Dafan. ”

Gao Yue pointed at Ou Cheek and scolded angrily: "Why can't I harm you? ”

"The Tang family has a saying, and the envoys come and go to the Tao, even if the two countries exchange troops, they must not be harmed."

"Then what should you do when you wait for the Xifan dog to lose its conscience and rob and kill the Xiji Alliance?" Gao Yue was furious, and immediately asked the tooth soldiers beside him to hold the cane, and took turns to step forward and slam the cheeks.

Ou Zhizan was beaten to a bloody pulp, wailing until his clothes were in pieces, his head hung down and he fainted, blood and braids were mixed, and Gao Yue asked someone to pour cold water on his face.

At this time, it was already a cold season in the Longyou area, and the cheeks of the area who were tied by ropes were praised, and the wound was stimulated by the cold water, and the pain was so painful that he twisted like a worm, his teeth were about to be crushed, and when he gasped, he began to curse in the Tibetan language.

"Do you want to dig out the heart of this fanzi?" Cai Fengyuan immediately pulled out the dagger and asked Gao Yue.

Gao Yue shook his head and said no, and then said with a sneer, Ou Zhizan said not to kill him, and Ben Yin would not kill him.

He wants to let Ou Qizan see with his own eyes how he "lived up to his mission".

An hour later, in the tent of the Chinese army in the Hunyang River, "What, Gao Yisong wants to kill the Tibetan soldiers and prisoners?" Hun Xuan, who was reading the prescription, jumped up and shouted to Bai Suole, who had come to tell him.

Bai Saole's face was full of distress, and he nodded, meaning about the same.

After a while, Lu Lun, the secretary of Hun Xuan, also hurriedly walked into the tent, "Under the festival, Gao Da Yin is beating the drum to gather the two armies of Yining and Dingwu, I'm afraid that I'm going to kill the prisoners." ”

Shocked, his eyes widened.

Because throughout ancient times, mass killing of prisoners was a very taboo thing, at least it was a bit of a suspicion of brutality, and at worst it was an act that was detrimental to yin morality.

"Let's go, go and stop Yisong!" Hun Xuan got out of the tent, quickly turned over his horse, and ran straight to Gao Yue's camp.

But everything was too late, and when Hun Yang arrived at the camp of Yining and Dingwu Army, Gao Yue had already given an order: 3,000 Xifan prisoners, including more than 800 forbidden soldiers, were divided into 60 "collision teams", and the two armies were divided into 30 each, and they were all taken to the north of Weishui to be slaughtered, and the Pinglong long knives fell down like snowflakes, and when Hun Yang ran to the north plains, he saw headless corpses all over the ground, and his heads were all rolled into the long trench dug in front, leaving only a group of soldiers with shovels standing there with their faces covered, It is necessary to dig pits for these killed Tibetan prisoners and bury them uniformly.

At the head of the hill in the northern plains, the withered grass was undulating like a wave, and Ou Zhizan was tied to a wooden post, and under it was a wooden bed with wheels, and under his high gaze, he witnessed the tragic scene of his own captives being executed, and he was still shouting and screaming there, and it was estimated that his spirit was stimulated to the point of disorder.

Hun Xuan was so angry that he couldn't find Gao Yue, but he found Gao Gu on the edge of the Northern Plains, so he scolded angrily, "Huang Cen, you dogfoot thief!" ”

As soon as Gao Gu saw that he was the old master, and he also knew what happened to Hun Xuan, he hurriedly dismounted, and said: "If this Fan soldier is sent to the court, after offering the Jietai Temple, it is inevitable that he will be watched by Changliuling and will not be allowed to return to his hometown for life." And there are many miasma in the south, and most of the soldiers will not survive for a year and a half, and they will consume food and clothes in vain......"

Hun Xuan was angry and didn't fight in one place, and rarely hit Gao Gu with the whip, "Don't pretend to be confused for me, you know that Ben Shuai didn't ask these questions." ”

At this time, Gao Gu could only answer truthfully: "The section said that it is to kill the prisoners, shock the courage of the Tibetan people, and increase the spirit of our army, and besides, these 3,000 soldiers were captured in battle, not surrendered, so it is not harmful to morality and righteousness to kill them." ”

Hun Yang looked up to the sky and sighed, and said to Gao Gu: "Alas, as a military general, you can't correct the nature of being handsome and killing, so that a good Jinshi was born and became the same character as Bai Qi and Xiang Yu. ”

In fact, Hun Ying's guess was correct.

After killing the three thousand captives, Gao Yue let go of the half-dead Ou Cheekzan and threw him on a donkey and returned to Chengji Palace Fort.

In addition, Gao Yue tied a fox tail to Ou Zhizan's head, and tied one behind him.

The fox's tail, in Western Tibetan customs, represents the shame of defeat and escape, and the warriors of Western Tibet were given tiger and leopard skins for brave words, and fox tails for cowardly words.

And the other root was given by Gao Yue to Shang Jiezan, as a "gift" for the skirt hairpin he gave the day before yesterday.

Seeing the fox's tail as a symbol of shame and the dying Ou Cheek Zan, and hearing that Gao Yue had slaughtered 3,000 captives on the Weishui Plain on the other side of Shangqi—Shang Jiezan fell ill immediately.

By the time the reinforcements from Xifan Tadao arrived, Gao Yue and Hun Yang had already leveled the east of Qinzhou, followed Shuiluochuan, and returned to Huating and Pingliang.
