    There is a kind of behavior called banmennongaxe, which means playing tricks with an ax in front of the ancestor, which is a sign of overestimating one's abilities.  This sentence is also very appropriate when it comes to Songtsan Gampo. Songtsan Gampo and Lun Qinling negotiated to use Luoche City as bait to attract the Tang army to encircle them, and then use the advantage of numbers to counter-encircle the Tang army.  In response to Lihe, the Tang army was trapped on this vast plateau, and at the very least, his food routes were cut off. In this way, the Tang army would be self-defeating. The more than a thousand miles from Luoxue City to Changtang would be  It became a place where the Tang Dynasty could not bear to look back.  Ideals are plump, but reality is skinny. Although the monarch and his ministers are banging their abacus, the people who came from the Tang Dynasty are all famous generals of the dynasty. It can be said that they have experienced hundreds of battles and have rich experience. Soon,  He saw through Songtsan Gampo's intention and did not rush to besiege the city. Instead, he took advantage of this opportunity to defeat the Tufan troops scattered around one by one. One wrong step and everything was lost. In the end, Songtsan Gampo had no choice but to accept that his general was injured.  , the result of the shrinkage of troops in Luoche City.  If it were any other opponent, he would have already fallen into Songtsen Gampo's trap and entered the war rhythm he set. Although his ability has not retreated, his opponents are not the brave and foolhardy people of the past.  It has been greatly weakened in several turmoils, but the opponent has jumped up many levels compared to the previous enemies.  Although all this is unexpected, it is also reasonable.  Looking at the Tang Dynasty army with flags outside the city, Songtsen Gampo standing on the top of the city wall couldn't help but sigh. It all happened too fast.  Chisang Yangdun, the new chief minister on the side, knew his mood and couldn't help but said consolingly: "Please rest assured, Zanpu. Luoxue City has been built repeatedly and is impregnable. There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, and the grain we have in stock can support it for a year."  If we save a lot of time, we can support it for at least a year. The Tang Dynasty will definitely not be able to support it for that long. Although most of the troops are defeated, our Tubo generals will soon organize their troops to send reinforcements, and we have a good chance of winning. "  Songtsen Gampo said bitterly: "Nine months, just nine months. Is it possible that the gap between Tibet and Datang is that big?" The troops sent by Datang in late August last year are now only used  In nine months, most of Tubo's territory fell, and the capital was besieged. Seeing the troops approaching the city, no monarch could laugh.  When I think of Li Er.  Songtsen Gampo was so angry that he gritted his teeth. This damn guy was willing to marry a princess to Tuyuhun, who was bullied by him and couldn't hold his head up, but he couldn't ask for a princess. Isn't this deliberately ignoring himself?  But after thinking about it carefully, I quickly understood that this was the sinister intention of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.  In ancient times, two peaches killed three men.  Now the emperor of the Tang Dynasty used a princess to provoke the conflict between Tubo and Tuyuhun, and it is unknown how many troops of the two countries were lost here. When the Tang Dynasty attacked Tubo, Tuyuhun could be said to have worked extremely hard and devoted all his country's power to help the Tang Dynasty.  Among them, that princess.  It must have blown a lot of pillow winds. It's hateful that Tubo's turn from prosperity to decline started when the Suppression Army entered Tubo. It not only severely damaged Tubo's economy, but also spread rumors. General Shang Xiang was poisoned and killed in the turmoil.  That time of civil strife can be said to have broken an arm.  It¡¯s all women¡¯s fault.  Chisang Yangdun persuaded in a low voice: "Master Zanpu, don't sigh. The Tang Dynasty is making rapid progress. We deliberately let him in. The Tang Dynasty wants to capture our Tubo, but I'm afraid it doesn't have such a good mouth."  The progress of the Tang Dynasty was rapid. Although it was the result of Songtsen Gampo luring the enemy deep, they both knew in their hearts that the Tang Dynasty had a mysterious weapon called the blunderbuss. Even if they advanced step by step, the progress would not be slow. Besides, they had never thought of it.  Abo Se secretly defected to the Tang Dynasty, which led to the fall of Oubo City. Not only was his morale severely damaged, but many of the agreed plans could not be implemented.  After a moment of silence, Songtsan Gampo asked quietly: "How is General Qinling's injury?" "In reply to Zanpu, the great wizard cast the spell himself. The general's injury has stabilized. As long as he takes good care of himself, he will not be injured."  After three months, you can bend a bow, ride a horse, wield a sword, and wield a spear." Chisang Yangdun said quickly after hearing this.  Three months?  Lun Qinling smiled bitterly in his heart and said: I hope Luoxue City will still be there in three months.  While Songtsan Gampo was meditating, Qiongbo Bangse said loudly: "Tuzan, look, the envoy from the Tang Dynasty is here." Songtsen Gampo looked down the city and saw a man who looked like an official.  , riding alone, carrying a white flag, waving the flag, and said loudly: "The two countries are at war. If we don't kill the envoys, in accordance with the decree of our emperor, we invite the Tubo people to gather at the top of the city." "Hypocritical.  Come, Zamp, let me send him on his way with one arrow." Qiongbo Bongse said angrily.  "No" Chisang Yangdun said quickly: "When the two countries are at war, it is an unwritten rule not to kill the envoys who come. This is an unwritten rule and cannot be acted upon." "But they killed Lord Gadongzan, so what happens to this matter?"   Gadongzan was captured while attacking and killing important officials of the Tang Dynasty. Even if he was killed, he would have nothing to say. However, Songtsen Gampo could not say these words. He just shook his head and said: "At this moment, at that moment, listen.  It's better to listen to what he says, otherwise it will appear that I am being unreasonable." Seeing that Zampu had spoken, Qiongbo Bangse had nothing to say, so he responded and then stepped aside.  At this time, the famous messenger of the Tang Dynasty had come to the bottom of the city wall and shouted: "Where is the Tubo Zanpu?" Songtsen Gampo stood on the top of the city, looking down at the messenger below, although now the Tubo people  Although he was at a disadvantage, he was still arrogant and aloof, and his aura of superiority did not change at all. He said in a loud voice: "This Zanpu is here, who are you?" "I, the newly appointed Minister of Rites, Lu Yuqing, by the emperor's decree,  I'm here to meet Master Zanpu." "Don't talk nonsense. I don't have time to chat with you. If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly." Now that we are approaching the enemy, I know that there will definitely not be anything good to say at this time.  , but Songtsen Gampo still wanted to hear what kind of conditions Li Er offered him.  Lu Yuqing said loudly: "The Tubo repeatedly invaded the borders of the Tang Dynasty and committed many crimes. They even tore up the alliance and massacred Songzhou. Their words were reprehensible and their actions were shameful. They were the culprits who provoked the war between the two countries. Therefore, my king obeyed the will of God and raised troops to conquer.  However, God has a good nature, and our emperor has a compassionate heart. In order to avoid the destruction of life and turn the war into friendship, as long as Tubo Zanpu opens the city gate and surrenders, and goes to Beijing to plead guilty, our emperor will give you a chance." "You are worthy of being here to persuade you to surrender.  The other talents are not known yet, but the voice is full of power. Not only Songtsan Gampo heard it clearly, but also many people standing in the city could hear it clearly. Those people from the Tang Dynasty were indeed knowledgeable.  Make good use of it and send such a loud voice to persuade you to surrender.  "Hahahahaha" Songtsan Gampo suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed. After laughing, he said with disdain: "That's all?" Sure enough, he didn't have anything good to say, and he wanted to be a "biaozi" immediately.  Zhenzhenfang puts all the blame on Tubo, but nothing happens to him. It is simply annoying, especially when he opens the city gate to surrender, and then goes to the capital to plead guilty. Once he surrenders, there is nothing left, and he enters the capital.  Please excuse me?  Can you come back?  In all likelihood, he will be put under house arrest like a useless person, and he will kill him when the time is right.  This plan is really good, but I still want to surrender.  "Yes, that's what our emperor said. Please think about it carefully, Mr. Zanpu, and think about it for the Tibetan soldiers and people in the city. If you don't surrender, the city will be destroyed in the future, and I'm afraid all life will be ruined." Lu Yuying continued.  If Songtsan Gampo was so easily persuaded, he would not be Songtsan Gampo. After hearing this, he took a horned bow inlaid with jade and elephant stones, drew an arrow, skillfully opened the bow and nocked the arrow, and with a "swish" sound,  The arrow was shot directly at the envoy of the Tang Dynasty who was trying to persuade him to surrender. Lu Yuqing was really impressive. He sat upright on his horse, neither dodge nor evade, showing great courage. Fortunately, the powerful arrow hit him.  The arrow was inserted in front of the horse, and the arrow penetrated the mud three feet deep, like a nail, nailing the arrow to the ground.  "The gods in the sky have witnessed that Ben Tuzan's words are like arrows nailed to the ground. We, the Tibetan soldiers and civilians, will never surrender and will resist until the last moment. And Ben Tuzanpu also swears to live and die with Luoxue City. You go,  If I don't kill the envoy and leave, I will shoot you right in the heart with one arrow from this Zanpu." "Persuading surrender from the city is just one of the methods. Lu Yuqing didn't expect Songtsen Gampo to surrender so obediently.  No more persuasion, he saluted Songtsen Gampo and said loudly: "Then let's see the outcome on the battlefield." After saying that, he turned his horse's head, carried the white flag, and rode slowly back to his base camp.  For him, his mission is accomplished.  Houjunji was not in a hurry to attack the city. He set up defensive works such as antlers and horses outside the city, and wrapped the Luoshu city like an iron barrel. He defended before attacking and did not advance rashly. He showed the demeanor of a famous general. The Tubo people  There was nothing that could be done about it, because several teams holding firecrackers were ready to attack. As long as the Tibetan soldiers dared to rush out, they would hit them one by one and knock them down.  At this time, on a mountain peak in the distance, Liu Yuan led several of his subordinates to watch the progress of the war from a distance.  This kind of large army battles involving hundreds of thousands of people do not happen often. This is not the ridiculous situation in later generations where a few dozen people are called an army of one million. This can be a real large army battle, a life and death scene.  , the most brilliant piece of music that mankind can put together in the era of cold weapons. This is a very valuable experience that Liu Yuan cannot miss.  "This Tubo is just gone?" Hou Jun said in surprise.  Seeing that Tibet was surrounded by the Tang Dynasty and was building fortifications at the city gate, it seemed that Tubo had no way to do anything, and Hou Jun couldn't help but feel disappointed.    Yuchi Baoqing said somewhat unhappily: "Why is it that if we lose all our bets, it would be easier to defeat them without so many casualties?" "No, that's not what I mean. It feels like Tubo is not as strong as we thought.  "Alright, don't argue." Liu Yuan stopped the two of them from talking and said calmly: "Songtsen Gampo is not as simple as you think. Look, he is probably about to make a move."
