Chapter 1011: A Thought

Within a few days, 150,000 Tibetan men and horses were killed, captured, or scattered, and completely disappeared from the vicinity of Qinghai Lake. Xue Shao sent people to clean up the battlefield, and the best war horses alone collected 130,000 horses, and captured more than 30,000 young people.

There are too many kills to be counted for a while. At present, Xue Shao has more important things to do, he asked Dang Jinbi and Guo Dafeng to lead the headquarters to still garrison Qinghai Lake, and personally led an army of 50,000 to advance to Dafeichuan.

There is also a large group of Tibetan people and horses, fighting against the Black Tooth Changzhi.

In this battle, the black tooth often shows the style of a famous general. In the face of an enemy three times his size, he not only defended the Dafeichuan camp as impregnable, but also counterattacked several times, causing the enemy to suffer several losses. Niu Ben, who had just joined him, became even more famous, and he led the 3,000 Tuo Qiang who had just been recruited from Liuhu Prefecture to win a great victory in several tough encounters with the Tubo cavalry.

Niu Ben's martial arts are certainly not as brave as in the past, but his faith, courage and leadership skills are definitely not what they used to be. The battle of Nuo Zhenshui cost him half of his arm, but it allowed him to gain fame and honor. Especially after becoming a biological child, he completely became a mature man. Although Niu Ben's official position is not big now, he has a very high prestige and influence among the Hu people in Liuhu Prefecture in the Helong area. When Di Renjie, the governor of Lingzhou, was dealing with many "national" issues, he asked Niu Ben to help more than once.

This time, Xue Shao wanted to recruit troops in Helong, and Niu Ben rode out on horseback and brought 3,000 elite cavalry. Although the number of people is not much, they are all veterans of a hundred battles, and their quality is no worse than the original "Three Thousand Tuojiao". If Xue Shao hadn't walked too fast, Niu Ben would definitely follow him to Taozhou to fight against the Garqin Mausoleum.

The news of the battlefield on this side of Qinghai Lake has already reached Dafeichuan. The Tubo army here felt an unprecedented panic - Zampu had been captured, and this battle was still a woolen battle?!

Xue Shao led an army of 50,000 before he reached Dafeichuan, so he first sent out the captives and went to the Tubo military camp.

There is no doubt that what the Tibetans want to do most now is, of course, to fight back to the death to recapture Zampu. But they were afraid that Xue Shao would "tear up the vote" of Zampu.

Now Zampu is still so young, the heir will definitely not be reliable. The Garqin Mausoleum, which once controlled the plateau, has been wiped out, and the newly appointed Tibetan ministers have all been killed or captured. If Zampu has three longs and two shorts at this time, the entire Tubo Dynasty will really be finished.

The victory or defeat of the war can still be fought for, but the risk of destroying the country, the Tubo people really can't afford it.

As a result, the 150,000 Tibetan army surrendered on the spot.

Dafeichuan resounded with endless cheers for hundreds of miles, and the banners of Da Zhou flew everywhere.

At this time, a senior official sent by the imperial court had just arrived in Dafeichuan.

The person who came was not familiar with Xue Shao, Yao Yuanchong, the squire of the Feng Pavilion.

In terms of official position alone, the Fengge squire, who was only one step away from entering the cabinet to worship the prime minister, is now a little bit better than Xue Shao, the Xia official Shangshu. But Xue Shao already has the privilege of "Pingzhang Military Affairs" and regards him as equal to the prime minister, plus Yao Yuanchong was once Xue Shao's close subordinate. Therefore, it is not difficult to see that Wu Zetian sent Yao Yuanchong to serve as a "special envoy" is quite ingenious, first of all, it will not make Xue Shao feel that this is the imperial court "pressing" him, this is respect. Moreover, acquaintances are easy to do, and the opinions of Yao Yuanchong and Xue Shao can easily reach a unity.

As for Yao Yuanchong's intention, it was even simpler, the imperial court was discussing the matter of the "peace alliance" with the Tibetan envoys, but Dafeichuan suddenly fought, which was really appalling. Yao Yuanchong came here to understand the situation, and to persuade and mediate.

But when Yao Yuanchong arrived in Dafeichuan, he was completely dumbfounded.

There is no need to persuade this fight, it has already been fought. The 300,000 troops of Tubo were completely wiped out by Xue Shao within a few days, and even Zampu and Da Yan were captured alive.

Shock alone is no longer enough to describe Yao Yuanchong's mood at this moment. With his realization, it is not difficult to imagine that the significance of this battle of Dafeichuan is enough to change the history of the two countries. The civil war on the plateau and the loss of the Gar family were originally a serious sore. Now Zan Pu personally led an army of 300,000 to be disabled by Xue Shao in a battle, and he himself was taken prisoner, which is not too far from destroying the country.

As for Da Zhou's side...... After the battle of Dafeichuan, what else can prevent Xue Shao's strong return and lead the group from now on?!

At this moment, whether the Tubo Dynasty exists or dies is almost in Xue Shao's thoughts. Therefore, Yao Yuanchong didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately talked to Xue Shao first.

In fact, for Xue Shao, capturing Zampu alive was also an "unexpected" gain. I came here only to defeat the Garqin Mausoleum.

Yao Yuanchong asked, has Xue Shuai ever talked to Zampu?

Xue Shao said not yet, because I haven't thought about it yet, so I should talk to him about something.

Yao Yuanchong knew Xue Shao well, and he knew in his heart that with Xue Shao's quick thinking and calm mind, how could he not know what to talk about with Zampu? - He was waiting for the people from the court to come, and then he would talk to Zampu.

This is a high-level "professional quality" that only a commander with a high degree of political consciousness can have.

Thinking of this, Yao Yuanchong didn't dare to assert himself. He suggested that the battle situation of Dafeichuan should be reported to the imperial court. Let the Empress decide how to talk to Zampu.

This is no longer a simple war against foreign enemies, but no less than the "great historical achievement" of Emperor Taizong to pacify the Turkic steppe. Such a feat must not be reserved for courtiers, and the empress must first be the biggest winner.

So Yao Yuanchong personally wrote a gorgeous and impassioned table and flew it to Luoyang. Just waiting for this table to reach the capital, it will inevitably be shocked by the world and the whole country will rejoice. For the empress, this will not only be beneficial to shaping her glorious image, but her historical status will be greatly elevated.

During the period of waiting for the imperial court's reply, Xue Shao had no shortage of things to do. It is not an easy problem for hundreds of thousands of Tibetan captives to be controlled. How to treat and dispose of them is still a matter for later, and that has to be done by the imperial court. But before the court's intention arrived, Xue Shao used a "desperate plan" for them to make the crossbow vomit bloodβ€”he asked the Gongren to recruit soldiers.

Among these hundreds of thousands of people, there must be many people who were former subordinates and die-hard loyalists of the Garqin Mausoleum, or who are related to the Gar family. On Gongren's special identity really played a very important role, and in only five days, he recruited 30,000 strong soldiers.

Unlike the prisoners of war who were forcibly assigned to the army, these Tibetan soldiers who "voluntarily surrendered" were not classified as lowly military slaves, but enjoyed the treatment of ordinary mercenaries, just like the 5,000 men and horses who had come to surrender with Lun Gongren. Of course, the most important thing is that these people are willing to come to Chengcheng, so that there will be no big hidden dangers, and it will be easy to manage and integrate in the future.

On Gongren brought more than 30,000 plateau cavalry to Xue Shao, which was definitely a superb treasure that money could not buy for the Central Plains Dynasty. However, what is even more precious than these 30,000 people combined is the tiger general of Gong Ren.

So Xue Shao felt that he was really an explosive account this time and made a lot of money.

There is one more thing, Xue Shao also wants to do it seriously. That is to bury the Garqin Mausoleum.

After the prisoners were harvested, the soldiers found the body of the Garqin Mausoleum in the Tibetan camp. Although the crossbow Si Lang wanted to disintegrate his body into thousands of pieces and abandon him to the wilderness, considering the prestige of the Garqin Tomb in the army, he did not do so for the time being. So he planned to bring the body of the Garqin Mausoleum back to the plateau for disposal after the war was over.

How to bury the Galqin Mausoleum is obviously quite important for the more than 30,000 Tibetan soldiers who came over from Gongren and Toucheng. Therefore, Xue Shao decided that no matter how the imperial court would dispose of the crossbow, the matter of burying the Garqin Mausoleum must be the master of Gongren.

In addition, Xue Shao sent Guo An and others to Taozhou and brought Wu Ming and Yuenu here.

On Gongren's mood is very complicated, it stands to reason that the Garqin Mausoleum should be buried on the plateau, but now the political situation on the plateau is so complicated, what if someone wants to dissect his body in the future? If it is buried in the Central Plains, it will be an ownerless and lonely soul who has become a "guest death in a foreign land" for the Garqin Mausoleum.

A generation of heroes, even a burial place is difficult to find after death, and the grief and indignation in Gong Ren's heart are unimaginable.

In the end, Gong Ren made a surprising decision to cremate the Galqin Mausoleum and then keep his father's ashes with him all the time. Take it wherever you go. If one day he dies, he will be buried with his father's ashes.

If you have relatives buried together, you will be considered home.

Xue Shao felt that this might be the most helpless way at present. He also felt that Gong Ren was also a bloody man with romantic feelings.

Wu Ming and the moon slave arrived.

The moon slave was still in the dark, but Xue Shao took her to reunite after the battle, and she was very happy. Wu Ming put all his emotions in his eyes, and he tacitly agreed with Xue Shao.

Thirty thousand Tibetan soldiers gathered next to the corpse of the Garqin Mausoleum.

Garqin Mausoleum, dressed in military uniform, lies on a high pyre. On Gongren stood by the fire, holding an unlit torch in his hand, and the expression on his face was extremely solemn and solemn.

Yue Nu stood beside Xue Shao, looked at Gong Ren curiously for a while, and whispered, "Childe, that Tubo barbarian...... It's familiar! ”

Tibetan barbarians?

Xue Shao smiled secretly in his heart and said to the moon slave: "Don't call him that to your face." He is the biological son of Garqinling, and he is a fierce general on a par with Xue Chuyu. He has just come to me with a great army, and he will now be one of my brothers. ”

"Oh......" Moon Nu blinked his eyes and muttered quietly, "This brute, where have you really seen it?" ”

The funeral began.

On Gongren was the first to step forward and threw the torch into the huge pyre. More than 30,000 Tibetan soldiers also elected more than a dozen deputies, each of whom stepped forward to throw a torch.

Xue Shao said to the moon slave: "You also step forward and light a fire." Treat it as if it were on my behalf. ”

The moon slave was stunned, "Me? ”

"Yes. It's you. ”
