Chapter 859: Wu Dongzan's Despair
Qinde defeated the Eastern Front, which was tantamount to depriving Wudongzan of a big bargaining chip in negotiations with Liu Xing.
Because of this defeat in Qinde, not only could Liu Kuan's army attack him from the west, but even the troops of Duan Zhengyan and Zhang Suo could cross the canyon at any time and launch a surprise attack on him and Du Song.
What's even worse is that it was early in the morning of the second day when Chindejan fled back to the lair. The Qinghai army in the north, led by Liu Xi, lined up in a neat procession, drove mightily to a place thirty miles north of the city of Luoqi, and quickly assembled.
To the north was Liu Xi's 240,000 Qinghai Army, to the west was Liu Qian's 120,000 Western Army, and to the east was Duan Zhengyan and Zhang Suo's 300,000 Song and Dali coalition troops. There is also a road, Gao Taiming with 60,000 soldiers and horses in the past few days, suddenly evaporated on the plateau and disappeared.
The drastic changes in the battle situation made Wu Dongzan realize that if he did not hurry up and surrender, then once the Song army completed the encirclement of the city of Luoqi, it could launch a flanking battle against him from three directions at any time.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the ship was late and encountered a head wind. If the defeat of Qinderang deprived Wudongzan of an important bargaining chip, then when Liu Xi and Zhang Suo began to divide their troops to carry out an "iron-walled" siege of Luoqicheng. What happened in Dusong, southeast of Wudongzan, surprised him even more and made him lose his last trace of fighting spirit.
What happened there in Dusong? First of all, under the continuous attack of the Tianzhu elephant soldiers, several Tubo leaders with Tianzhu blood became more and more unconfident, and secretly reprimanded the secret envoy to see Gao Mingliang.
After some bargaining, Gao Mingliang reported to Duan Zhengyan and then exchanged "preserving his clan, dividing Xiao Zampu, **** canonization, and hereditary vassal king" in exchange for the four leaders who defected, and first lit a fire behind Du Song.
The rebellion of the clan leader with Tianzhu bloodline was only the beginning of Dusong's fiasco. As Liu Xing often said, the wall is pushed by everyone, and once something happens, it will produce a "butterfly effect".
However, this time, the butterfly change that happened in Dusong was something that even Liu Xing did not expect at all, and it shocked Bafang.
Only two days after the defection of the four chiefs, there was also a large-scale mutiny in the royal court of Dusong. It was none other than Wuzhu, the seventh son of Du Song, whose mother was a Han Chinese, who had never been very welcome.
At the time of the war, his son turned against Lao Tzu, why did Wuzhu do that? The reason is that Wuzhu's mother is a descendant of the Southern Han royal family during the Five Dynasties, but his grandmother is Duan Zhengyan's distant cousin and a descendant of the Dali royal family.
This kind of blood relationship determines that Wuzhu has not been treated by Du Song since birth, and after Tubo attacked the Great Song Dynasty and Duan Zhengyan accepted the canonization of the Great Song Dynasty, there were even more suspicions.

Where did this come from, Wu Dongzan saw that Hui came up and spoke like this, and he was so angry that his face was red and white for a while, and he didn't dare to speak for a long time.
Why didn't he dare to respond, didn't he even have the last bit of courage?
Yes, Wu Dongzan really lost even the last bit of courage when Hui ran to Tubo on the road, and a series of changes that happened in Tubo were lost.
What were the things that made him completely lose his courage?
First of all, on the day of Hui's departure, the two Tianzhu elephant soldiers who led their troops to the junction of Dusong and Chindrang's territory suddenly launched a fierce attack on Chindrang's territory at the same time.
Qin Derang originally focused all his forces on defending Zhang Suo and Duan Zhengyan, and the opposite direction of the four layers of the defense line he arranged was also east.
Those Tianzhu soldiers rushed in front of the Qinderang army from the south, and immediately made the defense line that Qinde had so hard to deploy a mess.
He was in a mess, and Zhang Suo saw that the Tianzhu soldiers had broken up the defense line of the Tubo people in the oblique stab as promised, and immediately led the Dongchuan soldiers to rush into the Qinderang army under the cover of dense artillery fire.
Cold weapons against firearms, victory or defeat is doomed from the beginning. The elephant soldiers crushed the yak soldiers, and the disparity between strength and weakness also made the ending clear early.
In just three days and nights, Chindrang was defeated in the west of Bowo. Of the 300,000 Tibetan soldiers he personally led, less than 50,000 followed him and fled into the city.

Now that Wudongzan wants to reunify Tibet, it is tantamount to directly exposing his ambitions to Liu Xing, Liu Xing will not agree, let alone allow his ambitions to have a chance to swell.
Zong Ze's knowledge and experience also told him that Liu Xing's ideas and decisions were correct, so he had no objections.
Seeing that even Zong Ze did not object, it was naturally difficult for the planters to say anything else, so in the end they could only nod their heads and agree, and let Hui become the first "Tubo Xuanfu Ambassador" in the Great Song Dynasty.
The next day, when this "ambassador" went to the Lifan Yuan to select a helper and rushed to Tibet by airship, the whole world was shocked by the large list of positions on him.
What are the titles? The Qintian Supervisor is the lowest rank, and the above ones are the Counselor of the Heavenly Privy Council, the Counselor of the Privy Council, the title of the Prince's Young Master and the Secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the title of General Zhenrong and the Secretary of the Military Department.
An old monster who has been in the Demon Spirit Dao for 500 years has directly jumped from the Qintian Supervisor to a first-class member who has two titles of Shangshu at the same time, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War. Hui set off from Bianjing City, and his titles first made the government and the opposition of the Great Song Dynasty tremble and caused a wave of controversy.
In the midst of the wave after wave of chattering arguments, Hui took the airship to Liu Kuang's army first. After a brief meeting with Liu Kuang, he crossed the line of fire with a hundred guards overnight and arrived in front of Wu Dongzan.
As soon as he saw Wu Dongzan, Hui opened his mouth and said: "Boy, I am here to meet you on behalf of the '**** god appearance' in your mouth, the first assistant of my Great Song Dynasty." The conditions you preceded first, my wife did not agree. You can now either give up resistance with your soldiers and horses and surrender unconditionally to my ****. Either we don't have to talk about it, you wait to be exterminated! ”
Fortunately, after the outbreak of civil strife in Tubo after the Tang Dynasty, the four Zampu eras, which quickly fell apart and defended themselves from unity and power, did the five dynasties and ten kingdoms of the Central Plains not become Tubo people to replace the Han people as the rulers of the Central Plains Dynasty. It also gave Guo Wei a great opportunity to lay the foundation, Chai Rong Xingguo, and Zhao Kuangyin usurped Zhou Jiansong for decades.
