Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 481 It's Time To Go Back
More than [-] soldiers of the Tang army marched hurriedly, and it took only an hour to reach the small town fifty miles away.

When Zhang Yi and the others saw that small city, they remembered the gap between Tubo and Datang.

Although it is a small town, its scale is not much different from a small town in Datang, and the total population is estimated to be less than [-].

For such a small city, the defense ability is naturally very poor. Besides, they never thought about resisting the Tang army.

When Zhang Yi and the others arrived, there was no one on the city wall, and all the Tibetans who could run away were all gone, and none of the Tibetans who could not escape or were unwilling to escape, dared to go out with weapons, and everyone was honest. Really stay at home.

"Tonight, let's rest in this small town."

As Wang Zhe said, with a wave of his hand, he sent the soldiers directly to this small town.

A team of 6 people is enough to fill such a small city to the brim. At this time, not to mention that everyone can have a bed to sleep, it is already good to be able to sleep under the eaves.

Of course, before entering the city, Zhang Yi had already told Wang Zhe that if he didn't want to cause too much trouble, he should take care of the soldiers.

Their target is the Tubo army, and now the Tubo army is almost done fighting, and their next step is to scare the Tubo nobles, there is no need to do anything against the civilians.

If the soldiers also burn, kill and loot like those Tubo soldiers after entering the city, it will definitely arouse the resistance of those Tubo people. Although they will be killed by Tang army soldiers without exception in the end, the Tang army must also There will be a small loss.

Instead of this, it is better for everyone to manage themselves, anyway, they will only stay here for one night, and they will leave after dawn the next day, without having to make so many extra troubles.

Wang Zhe listened to Zhang Yi's words, so he immediately ordered someone to go on.

According to Zhang Yi's words, the original words were passed on.

At this time, the discipline of the Tang army is still very good. Basically, when the order is issued, everyone will consciously obey it, and few people will disobey the military order.

Sixty thousand soldiers of the Tang Army spent the night in this small town safely.

And this night, the news that the Tang army defeated the Tubo army had spread wildly.

In just one night, the entire Tang Dynasty and the entire Tubo almost knew the result of the war!
The more than [-] troops of Tubo were almost completely wiped out, while the loss of the Tang army was less than [-]. This was almost a massacre, a massacre with disparity in strength!
After the Tubo Kingdom suffered such a blow, the whole country panicked.

Now [-] Tang troops are marching in the depths of the Tubo kingdom. It seems that the Tang army does not intend to let them go if they win, which makes the Tubo people even more panicked, especially the Tubo nobles and royal family.

During this period of time, Tubo has been harassing Datang, and they estimate that Datang's patience with them has reached the limit, otherwise it would be impossible to attack them when Datang was so troubled.

Regardless of whether Tang Jun won by fluke this time or what, in short, the Tubo people are now powerless to fight Datang.

In order to prevent Tubo from rebelling in the future, Datang will definitely think about starting from the royal family, knocking down the existing people, and then fostering a regime close to Datang.

In this case, it is bad news for most of the Tubo nobles, and it will definitely affect their interests.

And the current Tang Dynasty, or the current Tang army, has the strength to change Tubo's dynasty.

Although the Tang people will not adapt after entering Tubo and entering the plateau, which will affect their combat effectiveness, but it is not a question of the Tang army's combat effectiveness now.

It has been difficult for Tubo to organize a large-scale army to resist the Tang army's invasion.

The only thing they can do is to bow their heads to Datang, ask what to talk about, and then try their best to follow the meaning of Tang Dynasty, as long as they can keep their current position.

But these are not what Wang Zhe needs to manage now. He will not retreat until he receives an order to withdraw his troops or encounters a major accident.

Now that they have won the battle in Qingtang, they should maximize their victory, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste?

The [-] Tang troops drove straight in, marching hundreds of miles a day, and encountered almost no resistance from the Tubo people. Even if some Tubo lords sent troops to block the Tang army, they were defeated in an instant.

The difference in numbers is too great.

Those lords basically only have private soldiers of hundreds or hundreds of people. Even those big lords have only more than a thousand private soldiers. Compared with the more than 6 Tang troops, it is simply a child's play.

In three days, the Tang army almost wiped out the entire east of Tubo Kingdom. If there were not many natural barriers blocking it, Wang Zhe would probably have to visit Tubo's palace at this time.

But now Tang Jun is not feeling well. As the altitude continues to rise, more and more Tang Jun soldiers have altitude sickness.

Altitude sickness does not seem to be a big deal, but it is fatal to soldiers who march and fight.

Wang Zhe also knew this very well, so he withdrew his troops immediately after the sweep.

No matter when Li Er's order came, he would retreat hundreds of miles and wait at a lower altitude.

And they are so oppressive, and now the nobles in Tubo are almost jumping over the wall in a hurry, and it is time to give them some space.

Most importantly, the peace talks team sent by Tubo to Datang had already set off overnight.

If the Tubo people are going to talk about peace, it means that they have bowed their heads, and I will retreat a few hundred miles to wait and see. If the time comes and I really can't reach an agreement, then I will just beat him again.

Tang Jun withdrew, and the Tibetans breathed a sigh of relief.

If these Tang troops do not withdraw, then the royal family of Tubo will have to consider moving the capital, because according to the marching speed of the Tang army, if they continue playing like this, they will have to kill them under the capital in a short time, and the capital will be broken by then. That might destroy the country.

When Wang Zhe withdrew his troops, it was time for Zhang Yi and Xu Jingzong to return to Chang'an.

In fact, Zhang Yi wanted to go back to Chang'an a long time ago, but Xu Jingzong used the excuse that His Majesty Li Er's edict had not yet arrived to force Zhang Yi to continue to follow Wang Zhe.

And now that the Tubo peace talks team has already rushed to Chang'an, there is no need for them to stay any longer.

If Tang Jun can defeat Tubo, then their mission will be considered a successful completion, and they will not have to worry about what Li Er will do to them after they go back.

Even if Xu Jingzong made some mistakes before, and did not follow Li Er's ideas and intentions in many places, but now the results are the same, Li Er will not come to trouble Xu Jingzong, an old minister, if he has nothing to do.

Thinking of this, Xu Jingzong would smile heartily.

"Let's go, go back, it's time to go back to Chang'an!"

As Zhang Yi said, he and Xu Jingzong rushed back to Chang'an from Tubo with the servants they brought from Chang'an.
