"Prime Minister, Prime Minister, please spare my life..." When Qu Mangbuzhi saw that Gar Qinling wanted to kill him, he was so frightened that his face turned pale and he begged for mercy.
But Gal Qin Ling showed no expression on his face and still ordered people to push him out.
Seeing that he had no hope of survival, Qu Mang Bu Zhi was heartbroken and shouted loudly: "Gar Qin Ling, I was defeated today and was beheaded by you, but what about you? Weren't you also defeated? The army came here from Shancheng City.
, how many men and horses were lost? It’s not much less than me, right? And last time, 400,000 troops were killed by Li Xian. If I deserve to die, how many more times will you die?”
"Wait a minute." Gal Qinling waved his hand and ordered his people to push Qu Mangbuzhi back, then squinted his eyes and said coldly: "What did you just say? The true nature of biting, is it true or not?"
"This, this..." Under the fierce power of the Garqin Mausoleum, Qu Mangbuzhi suddenly felt a little timid, but when he thought that he was going to die anyway, why not say it happily? So he immediately raised his head and said loudly
: "What's the matter? Isn't that what I said? You lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in two battles, and even three of your brothers died in the battle. How much responsibility should you bear? Even if I lose the four towns in Hexi and Wu
Haicheng, how can this kind of failure compare to you, the Prime Minister? What's more, you sent me to conquer the Western Regions, but the Prime Minister personally gave the nod to mobilize the main force of Wuhai City to seize the four towns of Anxi, and it was you who forced me to go
Yes, I said at the time that I wanted to lead a heavy army to defend Wuhai, but I was opposed by you. Now that Tang Man has captured Wuhai and defended it with the strong city of Wuhai, he gradually turned defeat into victory and defeated me, but you
And you blame me, you tell me, should I bear the responsibility for the defeat or you? If you kill me, can you stop the world from talking about it? "
At this time, I suddenly heard Su Hegui, the general under the tent of Garqin Mausoleum, shouting loudly: "How dare you be so rude to the Prime Minister? Aren't you afraid that your whole family will be killed? Why don't you kowtow to the Prime Minister and confess your guilt quickly?
Maybe you can save your family’s life.”
Su Hegui was originally a Tuyuhun noble, but later defected to Tibet and served as a general under the command of Garqin Ling. However, he was a surrenderer after all, so he usually had a good relationship with the generals. He used his advantage around Garqin Ling to try his best to
Although he was scolding Qu Mangbu Zhi this time, he actually wanted to protect him.
However, Qu Mang Bu Zhi did not understand Su Hegui's intention. Instead, he snorted coldly and retorted: "Su Hegui, you are just a traitor from Tuyuhun. You are like a bereaved dog. How dare you scold me here?"
?Do you have a say here?"
"You, you, are simply unreasonable." Su Hegui's good intentions were met with such ridicule, and his face was full of shame. At the same time, he was also very angry in his heart. He simply closed his eyes and stopped caring about the matter.
At this time, Garqin Ling let out a long sigh when he heard this.
Qu Mang Buzhi was right. He was the one who forcibly ordered Qu Mang Buzhi to attack the Four Towns of Anxi because his ally the Turks were also rapidly marching towards the Four Towns of Anxi at that time. He had to find a way to occupy Anxi before the Turks.
Four towns, because this is a place that the Silk Road must pass through. It is not only a battleground for military strategists, but also the most important link between the Tang Dynasty and the western countries. As long as you occupy this place and set up checkpoints to collect taxes in the future, you can
Obtain huge benefits from merchants from Tang Dynasty, Persia and other countries.
At that time, he also confidently believed that he would be able to capture Shancheng before the Tang army arrived. As long as Shancheng was captured, this battle would herald victory. From now on, Datang would be the one to have a headache.
, but who would have expected that Li Xian's army came so quickly, defeated his fifth brother as soon as they came up, and followed the defeated army into his camp, forcing his army to retreat.
After that, Li Xian took advantage of the initiative and took the lead step by step, pushing himself to where he is now.
"Things are indeed as what Qu Mang Bu Zhi said. If I am responsible for the defeat, I should bear the main responsibility, and Qu Mang Bu Zhi is just a general who acted in accordance with my orders. If I hadn't been too
If he was too hasty, first stick to Wuhai City, and then gradually plot the four towns of Anxi, maybe the current situation would not have happened. Also, the defeat of Qu Mang Buzhi cannot be entirely blamed on himself, but on Wang Fangyi's too much
You are so cunning, you actually made such a realistic fake surrender, let alone him, even I may not be fooled, alas, there are many capable people in the Tang Dynasty, I really underestimated the heroes of the world."
Gal Qinling thought of this and sighed softly: "Let him go."
"Huh? I, can I live forever?" Although Qu Mangbuzhi spoke arrogantly before, it was actually his survival instinct that forced him to struggle. But now he really heard that Gar Qinling wanted to spare him, but he
He was also a little unbelievable, and quickly looked at Gar Qin Ling in surprise, and when he saw the other party nodded, he immediately knelt down on the ground and thanked Gar Qin Ling for sparing his life: "Thank you so much, Prime Minister, for sparing the last general's life.
, the general will definitely swear allegiance to the Prime Minister to the death."
"Haha, get up." Gal Qin Ling helped Qu Mang Bu Zhi, and then sighed softly: "In the future, remember to fight hard and make more contributions to Tibet. The truth is that I spared your life, not because of your greed.
It’s because I don’t have many real Tibetan generals left, and if I kill you, it will definitely be a painful thing for relatives and enemies.”
"Yes, yes, Prime Minister, don't worry. I will fight with all my heart in the future and never let down the Prime Minister's expectations." Qu Mang Bu Zhi nodded repeatedly, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice. At this time, he saw Su He again.
Gui looked embarrassed and angry, and quickly apologized to him with a smile on his face: "Brother Su, I was just blinded by lard, ignorant of good and bad, and full of nonsense. Don't be as knowledgeable as me. After this battle,
I must apologize properly."
"That's all." Su Hegui nodded and said: "You also messed up at the critical moment of life and death. Now that you are sincerely apologizing, if I care about it, wouldn't it be rude? It's just that my brother, you have lost this battle, and the Prime Minister is now
The situation is not good."
But I heard Garqin Ling sigh softly: "Isn't it true what you said? This time we lost the entire four towns of Anxi and the key areas of Wuhai City, and there were only three surrender cities and large cities left in Tuyuhun.
It's an important area in Sichuan, but if reinforcements don't arrive, I'm afraid we won't be able to defend even this little territory. Alas, this time we dispatched an army of 300,000. If we add the Turkic allies, the army will be nearly 400,000.
If we fail again and return, I am afraid that I will never be able to make plans for Anxi again in my life. This is our last hope, and we must not let it go." (To be continued.)
