Chapter 80: Persuading surrender and ending interest

===============

The Dafeichuan battlefield is a mess!

Exciting moments always pass quickly, and within a short while, the sky gradually became brighter, and then the sun rose.

Everything around you can be seen. The battle has passed the most intense stage, the large-scale attack has ended, and the battle has entered the final stage.

There are still fires burning in the Tubo camp, and thick smoke is billowing into the sky. Even the nearby snow has been melted by the fire, and snow water can be seen flowing everywhere, and the flowing snow water is red.

There are too many people's blood mixed in it.

Before they could escape, the other Tibetan leaders were either killed or surrendered. The Tibetan army could no longer organize a large-scale and organized resistance. Those poor sergeants had only two options, escape or surrender. Without horses, escape

It is impossible. Even if they can grab the horses, they may not be able to escape and ascend to heaven. Surrender is their best choice now.

The surrendered Tibetans are gathering outside the camp under the supervision of our army. The battle is not over yet. We can only have a rough estimate of the situation. The specific results will not be calculated until a few days later. The defeat of the Tubo troops is certain.

We have to find a way to clean it up. Yang Xi knows that in

There are still Tibetan garrisons in the direction of Wuhai, Heyuan and Fuqi City. There are also Tibetan guards in Fuqi City and some castles in the north of Qinghai. If the Tibetans are given a chance to escape in defeat, these people are likely to attack our army in the next time.

Actions pose a threat and add a lot of trouble.

A group of Tang army soldiers were already busy setting up tents. A battle had just ended and it was impossible to evacuate immediately. The Tibetan camp was almost completely destroyed. There were many corpses and it was uninhabitable anyway. Yang Xi ordered the soldiers to set up tents.

Leave

Ten miles northwest of the Tubo camp, he set up his own tent. Just when Yang Xi ordered his troops to clean the battlefield and clean up the remaining troops, the sergeant came to report that the tent had been set up. Yang Xi also immediately led the escort troops and rushed there.

Camp.

He was exhausted and needed a good rest while thinking about his next arrangements.

Just when Yang Xi arrived at the camp, another news came, saying that Chen Huiguang and Hao Tingyu's troops surrounded and annihilated the remnants of Shang Jiexi's escape, and captured Shang Jiexi and his eldest son Daxigai alive.

Yang Xi, who was overjoyed, immediately ordered Shang Jiexi and Daxigai to be brought over. He also ordered Xinuoer, the third son of Shang Jiexi who had surrendered, to be brought over. While waiting for Shang Jiexi and his son, Yang Xi also found out.

The process of Chen Huiguang and Hao Tingyu encircling and annihilating the remaining troops of Shang Jiexi.

Because Chen Huiguang and Hao Tingyu could not pass directly where they were gathering, they could only attack in a detour, but unexpectedly, they encountered the remnants of Shang Jiexi who were escaping, which gave them a big advantage. The highest ranking man in the Tubo army

The commander-in-chief became their prisoner.

After a while, Shang Jiexi and Daxigai, who were very embarrassed, were brought in. Shang Jiexi's third son Xinuoer, who was treated politely after surrendering, was also brought in. The father and son were in Yang Xi's tent.

When they met, they were both very surprised.

Xinuoer was ashamed that he surrendered to the Tang army so quickly. Shang Jiexi, who was originally worried about the safety of his third son, knew that Xinuoer had surrendered when the Tang army invaded, and had mixed feelings. The father and son looked at each other awkwardly for a while.

, Shang Jiexi said a few words, to the effect that things were already like this. He told his two sons not to say anything, and to leave everything to Tang Jun's disposal.

The father and son didn't say much when they saw each other, and there was no conflict, which surprised Yang Xi who looked at them coldly.

But this was also the best, so as to save him from opening his mouth to persuade him. After the father and son finished communicating in Tubo dialect, he walked up to Shang Jiexi, stared at him for a while, and introduced himself: "I am the commander of the Tang Dynasty.

Deputy marshal of troops and horses, Yang Xi, commander-in-chief of the march to Xikai Road. Nice to see you here, talk!"

Although he already knew that Yang Xi was very young, after seeing him in person and discovering that Yang Xi was really very young, Shang Jiexi still sighed with emotion. This young man, who was not as old as his own son, actually defeated him easily and let him

There wasn't even a chance to turn around.

"Marshal Yang, I have admired your reputation for a long time. When I met you today..." Shang Jiexi can speak Chinese very well, but now he doesn't know what to say.

"On behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, I would like to welcome the surrender of Da Lun and his generals. I believe you will be treated courteously when you arrive in Chang'an. Maybe we can work together in the same court in the future," Yang Xi said with a smile on his face, looking at him

The defeated opponent, "but now I still have to talk about the grievances. In the army

I have stayed a little longer. I believe that Da Lun is also a person who understands righteousness. There are many places near Qinghai where the Tubo Army is stationed. I hope you can write a letter to persuade them to surrender, so that they will no longer be enemies of the Tang Dynasty. As long as

If they lay down their weapons and surrender, I can guarantee that they will also be treated with courtesy!"

Shang Jiexi was silent after hearing this.

Yang Xi walked up to Shang Jiexi, looked at this tall Tubo man with a face that looked dark red due to the sunshine on the plateau, and said: "Dalu, I believe you also know that even if they don't surrender, with the strength of our army now

With its combat power, it can easily capture all the castles and fortresses. Kushan, Niuxindui, Mantoushan and Dalunyouqin.

The same goes for Dafeizhong, who led his troops to guard the city. I believe you have heard about my commander commanding troops to capture Shaanxi and Luoyang. You should know that the combat power of your men is not as good as the rebels in Anlu Mountain. My commander

I don’t want any more people to die in this beautiful land because of the war, and you can do that with them.”

After a pause, Yang Xi raised his voice a little more: "As long as Da Lun helps me persuade the tribes to surrender, I will immediately report to the court and ask for credit for Da Lun. I believe Da Lun also knows that Zan Po, Lun

The treatment Gongren and the others received after their surrender is as long as you persuade the tribes near Qinghai to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, I can guarantee that your treatment in the Tang Dynasty will not be worse than any of them."

"Father, just listen to Marshal Yang's advice!" Seeing that his father was still hesitant, Xinuoer immediately begged: "Father, we can't defeat the Tang army now, but the Tang army will soon.

Conquer Wuhai and Heyuan."

Shang Jiexi was still silent. Seeing this, Yang Xi took another two steps, called in a personal guard and gave a few instructions. After the personal guard was dispatched, he said to Shang Jiexi: "This time we have a great discussion.

In the fight, I still have a powerful weapon that I haven't used yet, so I would like to invite Da Lun to take a look at it today."

After saying that, without waiting for Shang Jiexi's response, he took the lead and walked out. Shang Jiexi and his son looked at each other and had no choice but to walk out of the big tent.

A mighty general cannon was placed in an open place, and several sergeants were ready. When Yang Xi came over with Shang Jiexi, his father and his son, and several other Tubo surrender generals, he also lit the mighty general cannon according to the order.

The cannon, with a loud noise that shook the ground, the mighty general's cannon was fired, blasting a large piece of a mountain made of rocks more than a hundred steps away, leaving a large crater and everywhere.

Flying gravel.

"Big talk, this commander used such weapons to capture several fortresses guarded by your men. I believe other fortresses can also be captured easily!"

--------

Under Yang Xi's inducement and threats, Shang Jiexi finally agreed to write a letter to persuade the Tubo people in Wuhai and Heyuan to surrender, as well as the town troops on the north bank of Qinghai. He also agreed to write a letter to persuade the Tubo town generals in Anxi to surrender.

Put down their weapons and surrender to Guo Ziyi. The Tibetan generals guarding these places are all Shang Jiexi's cronies. Yang Xi believes that some people will listen to Shang Jiexi's surrender and lay down their weapons and surrender.

Two days later, the results of the battle were also calculated. Our army had a total of 2,900 killed and 4,300 wounded; a total of more than 35,000 Tibetans were annihilated, most of whom were burned or bombed to death, and about ten were captured.

Twenty thousand people, including Da Lun Shang Jiexi, and many Tubo leaders and nobles were captured by our army. More than 200,000 cattle and sheep of the Tubo people also became the trophies of our army, as well as many bows and arrows.

Other weapons.

The result of the war was of course one-sided, and even more brilliant than the last time Yang Xi led his army to surprise Sun Xiaozhe's troops.

Yang Xi was very proud of this. He knew that after this battle, his prestige in the army would increase exponentially. Generals who did not respect him at first would also be impressed by his "outstanding" military strategy.

Next. Those generals who already admired him very much will further increase their admiration. This is of course a good thing. Yang Xi is already thinking about how Emperor Li Longji will reward him after returning to the court.

On the morning of the third day after the war was almost over, Hun Yan, covered in gunpowder smoke, hurried into Yang Xi's tent.

"Marshal, the remnants of Tubo Xiaolu Da Zha Lugong were wiped out by us, and Da Zha Lu Gong was captured alive!"

"That's great!"

Yang Xi, who was writing quickly and preparing to report the detailed process of the Battle of Qinghai, suddenly stood up excitedly.

After Shang Jiexi agreed to persuade other tribes in Qinghai to surrender, he had been worried that Xiaolu Dazhalu Gong would escape from our army's search. As a Xiaolun, Dazhalu Gong's influence in Tubo was only in Zan and Dalu Shangjiexi.

Next, if Da Zha Lu Gong successfully escapes back to Wuhai or Heyuan, then the Tibetan army here will definitely not be willing to accept Shang Jie Xi's surrender, and there will be several tough battles next. After the Battle of Dafeichuan,

The remnants of the Tubo tribe must have been on higher alert. If they were unwilling to surrender, the next battle would be much more difficult, and more Han family members would lose their lives on the Qinghai Plateau. The surrender of Da Zha Lugong meant that the Tubo people would no longer be able to fight.

Opportunity led by a high-prestige general to resist our army. Both Da Lun and Xiao Lun were captured. The impact on their morale was huge. Even if they were unwilling to surrender, their combat effectiveness would be very low.

Da Zha Lugong was surrounded and annihilated by Hun Yan's search troops, and Da Zha Lu Gong was captured by Hun Yan himself. This somewhat made up for the fact that Hun Yan rushed to kill Zhi Shang Jie Xi's tent, but fell short and failed to capture him.

It’s a pity that you still have to pay interest.

Yang Xi agreed to ask for credit for Hun Yan alone, which made Hun Yan very happy.

After the battlefield was cleared, Yang Xi also ordered the entire army to temporarily rest and prepare for the next war.

Dafeichuan was resolved. Next, he would send his troops to attack Wuhai, Heyuan and Fuqi City. However, the Tubo people in these places were unwilling to surrender after Shang Jiexi's letter of persuasion to surrender was sent, so he had no choice but to continue to use force.
