Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1464 Good News
Xue Wanche and the others guessed it, and the other two groups of cavalry did not catch up with Songtsen Gampo, and Songtsen Gampo seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

If Songtsan Gampo was still leading the army, it would be easy to pursue. The mighty army could not cover up its tracks at all.

Ke Songtsan Gampo only brought more than a thousand personal guards, which was really hard to find in the endless vast wilderness.

After several days of pursuit and still no trace of Songtsan Gampo, the chasing cavalry returned to Xinghai City one after another.

The cavalry battalion of the Shenji Battalion was the last cavalry to return. Although many horses and weapons were captured, and many heads were still hanging on the horses, Xue Wanche and others still looked downcast.

In fact, seeing Xue Wanche and the others come back dejectedly, Su Cheng was also a little disappointed, but he was not too depressed, and said with a smile: "It seems that your pursuit has achieved a lot!"

Xue Wanche sighed heavily and said: "I only caught some small miscellaneous fish, and I never met Songtsan Gampo at all. If I did, I wouldn't let him run away, but I just didn't meet him, what a rage I also!"

Li Yun asked expectantly: "Grandpa, did the other cavalry catch up to Songtsan Gampo?"

Since they failed to catch up with Songtsen Gampo, they could only hope that other cavalry could catch up with Songtsen Gampo. No matter who got the great credit for this day, it would be better than letting Songtsen Gampo escape.

Su Cheng shook his head slightly and said, "No, I haven't met Songtsan Gampo. He really escaped. It can only be regarded as his death."

Xue Wanche, Li Yun and the others felt even more disappointed when they heard this. So many Tubo people were beheaded in this expedition, and Tubo was severely injured. Even the Tubo general Sa Amu died on the battlefield. Then this battle is perfect.

However, when Songtsen Gampo came and let Songtsen Gampo escape, it can only be said that he left too much regret.

Because of the disastrous defeat of the last expedition, the ministers of the court and the common people in Chang'an City paid great attention to this expedition.

Therefore, when the victorious cavalry galloped into Chang'an City, it immediately caused a sensation.

"Longyou Great Victory!"

"Longyou Great Victory!"

The victorious cavalry shouted while galloping.

The people along the road immediately became excited when they heard the shouts of the cavalry, some cheered, and some even danced.

This is the normal result!
Just to put it bluntly, how could the Tang Dynasty lose to the Tubo people when it was so rich and powerful?

Back then, Hou Junji led an army to defeat the Tubo people, not to mention the Tang Dynasty whose national strength is more prosperous now!
Sure enough, it was all Zhang Liang's problem!
The good news was sent to the palace immediately, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and other important officials rushed to Liangyi Hall immediately after hearing the good news.

Although they knew that the good news came, they were not sure whether it was the good news they had thought.

After all, as long as the Tubo people are defeated, it is a good news and can inspire the hearts of the people, but the goal set up when going out is not just to defeat the Tubo people, but to severely damage Tubo and solve the border troubles.

Although they don't know the specific result yet, their footsteps are still very brisk, because this is good news after all, and they are happy after defeating the Tibetans.

In the Liangyi Hall, Li Shimin, who received the good news, was very happy.

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Li Jing and others walked into the hall.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Congratulations, congratulations! I haven't read the victory report yet, and I don't know if the plan I made when I sent troops has succeeded."

While speaking, Li Shimin unfolded the good news with great anticipation, and the first thing he opened was the good news compiled by Li Ji.

After just a quick glance, Li Shimin's face burst into a smile.

"Songtsan Gampo actually personally led [-] iron cavalry to encircle Xinghai City!"

Fang Xuanling, Li Jing and the others couldn't help but gasp when they heard this. Boy Su Cheng was too attractive, he even attracted Songtsan Gampo.

And it was still one hundred thousand cavalry, even though they knew it was a good news, they still couldn't help feeling startled.

Although Fang Xuanling and the others were frightened, they were not as frightened as Li Shimin. Li Shimin was not only frightened, but even a little bit jumpy, because if the queen knew about it, she didn't know how to blame him.

"Fortunately, Su Cheng led the Shenji Battalion to stand firm for six days and killed more than [-] enemies. Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, and Yu Chigong led the army back in time to complete the encirclement!"

"After a fierce battle for a day, more than [-] people were killed, and more than [-] were captured. Only about [-] of the [-] Tibetan cavalry escaped scattered!"

Only [-] of Tubo's [-] cavalry escaped?

This encirclement can be said to be a great success, which definitely hit Tubo hard!
Even more successful than expected!

Fang Xuanling excitedly said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, this battle has been completely won, and Tubo has been severely damaged. From then on, Longyou and Jiannan can be peaceful for at least ten years!"

Changsun Wuji laughed and said: "Such a great victory is enough to last forever. It was Your Majesty who foresighted and devised a strategy to lure troops to achieve complete victory. It is indeed the blessing of Longyou, the blessing of the Tang Dynasty, and the blessing of the common people!"

Li Shimin was very happy when he heard this, but he still waved his hands and said, "The greatest contribution to this battle does not belong to me, but to Su Cheng. One hundred thousand Tubo cavalry came, and Songtsen Gampo was also attracted, Su Cheng took a great risk in this battle!"

Li Jing nodded with a smile and said: "One hundred thousand Tubo cavalry is indeed shocking, but the artillery and guns of the Shenji Camp are not vegetarians, and the one hundred thousand Tubo cavalry are not good enough."

Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "Your Majesty, since the army has completed the siege, isn't Songtsan Gampo also surrounded?"

Fang Xuanling and the others suddenly became excited again. They were all shocked by the results of the First World War just now, and they hadn't thought about Songtsan Gampo for a moment.

Only then did they realize, yes, Songtsen Gampo must have been surrounded by the army too, if Songtsen Gampo was also beheaded or captured alive, that would be great.

Li Shimin looked at the news and shook his head in disappointment, saying: "Unfortunately, Songtsan Gampo used the golden cicada's trick to get rid of his shell, changed his armor with his own guards, and then broke out."

Fang Xuanling and the others also showed disappointed expressions on their faces. Although the siege battle met or even exceeded the expectations when the troops were dispatched, now they suddenly knew that Songtsan Gampo was besieged and then escaped. Can't help but feel very sorry.

Li Shimin continued: "Li Ji and the others sent three cavalry to pursue Songtsen Gampo overnight, but there was no result yet."
