Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1263 Peace Talk
The proud Songtsan Gampo wants to make peace with Tang Jun.

This was the first time since he became Zanpu that he behaved like this.

However, in the current situation, he has nothing to do.

If they don't negotiate a peace, it may be very difficult for them to return to Tubo alive. Even if they can go back alive, they will definitely have a hard time in the future.

If they did not surrender, it would be tantamount to cutting off all ties with Datang, and many of their Tubo items had to be imported from Datang.

If there is no surrender, there will be no trade, and many people in Tubo may not be able to bear it.

At that time, the situation in Tubo was unstable, which was not conducive to his rule.

After Songtsan Gampo finished speaking, the tribal leaders looked at each other. They were a little surprised by this, because they didn't expect that Songtsan Gampo, who always had his eyes high above his head, would compromise.

They still don't understand their zamp.

But at the same time, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

For them, it didn't matter whether they surrendered or not. Anyway, if they surrendered, they would be supported by Songtsen Gampo, and if they surrendered, they would have a chance to survive.

All they really want is to be alive.

So soon, these tribal leaders spoke up.

"Zanpu, surrendering now is probably our only choice."

"Yeah, we have to hide our strengths and bide our time now. When we become stronger, we will settle accounts with Datang."

"That's right, a peace is a peace."

"........."

The tribal leader agreed to negotiate a peace, and Songtsan Gambo nodded, and then he left a peace negotiation team and asked them to wait here for the Tang army, and they rushed to the Tubo King City again without stopping.

Although they were ready to negotiate a peace, they did not dare to be careless and dare not confront Tang Jun head-on. If Tang Jun did not agree to negotiate a peace, it would be too dangerous for them to stay here.

Songtsan Gampo continued to flee with his soldiers and horses. After they fled for more than an hour, Qin Tian rushed over with his soldiers and horses.

However, when Qin Tian and the others met the Tubo people again this time, they did not encounter the broken soldiers and horses, but a small team of a hundred or so people.

He was very surprised, what's the use of staying with a hundred or so people, could these hundred or so people stop them?

Riding forward, before Qin Tian could speak, a man who looked like a Tubo civil official hurried forward and said, "Young Lord Qin, don't do anything. I'm Brutu, an official from Tubo. I am waiting for the young master, and I am here to discuss peace with you Great Tang."

Hearing that they wanted to negotiate a peace, Qin Tian finally understood what was going on. It turned out that Tubo knew they couldn't beat them and wanted to negotiate a peace with them.

It seems that people are always like this, when they have no choice, they will settle for the next best thing.

Tubo knew that they could not escape, so they wanted to surrender and negotiated peace with them.

There was a faint smile on the corner of Qin Tian's mouth, but before he could open his mouth, Cheng Chumo suddenly revealed his Xuanhua ax and said, "Brother Qin, if you don't make peace with them, it's better to destroy Songtsan Gampo." Opportunity, otherwise, when they return to Tubo, it will be tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain."

"That's right, there must be no peace negotiation. We want to wipe out Tubo in one fell swoop." Yuchi Baolin also disagreed with the peace negotiation.

In their view, the situation is very good for them now, and there is no need for them to negotiate peace with Tubo.

When the Tubo peace envoy heard this, his face became a little ugly, and he also became nervous.

Here, Qin Tian smiled calmly, then looked at the peace negotiating minister, and said, "It's not impossible for Tubo to negotiate peace with Tang Dynasty, it depends on whether you have the sincerity to negotiate peace."

"Sincerity is naturally there. If you have any conditions, you can just mention it. After you mention it, I will immediately tell my family Zanpu."

The ministers who negotiated peace did not dare to stop talking, Qin Tian smiled softly, and then told them what they wanted from the Tang Dynasty, including some cattle and sheep, some grain, gold, silver and jewelry, and some, a piece of land from Tubo .

Offending them Datang, if there is no blood, it is really a bit unjustifiable.

It can be said that Qin Tian is a bit of a lion and wants a lot.

After listening to the Tubo minister, he couldn't help taking a cold breath, but he didn't show any dissatisfaction. After smiling, he said: "Okay, after I go back, I will tell my family about the situation." Zanpu said it, but please ask Young Master Qin to wait here."

His intention was very simple, to let Qin Tian wait for news here.

However, Qin Tian showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and shook his head: "No, if you Zanpu escaped back, I'm afraid that even if you agreed to negotiate a peace, the conditions I just mentioned should be discounted. I want to negotiate a peace." , you have to leave something behind.”

"What do you mean?"

"Of course it's going to surround your Zanpu."

Qin Tian is not an idiot either, a peace negotiation is a negotiation, but even if it is a peace negotiation, he needs to have some bargaining chips in his hand.

Trapping Songtsen Gampo is the bargaining chip he wants.

After saying this, without waiting for the Tubo negotiating minister to say anything, Qin Tian had brought his soldiers and horses, and chased Songtsan Gambo and the others in the direction they were fleeing again.

The distance between them is only more than an hour, and this distance is nothing to Tang Jun.

For one thing, the Tang Army had a lot of food substitutes. They didn’t need to light a fire to cook, and they could replenish their energy on horseback, but Tubo couldn’t. They had to light a fire to cook when they were hungry, but they didn’t have any It was time to start a fire and cook. Many soldiers were already tired and hungry, and they couldn't walk fast at all.

What's more, Tang Jun pursued with a victor's mentality, and their morale was relatively higher.

Morale is something that really works sometimes.

Tang Jun continued to chase after them. When the sky darkened, they finally caught up and surrounded Songtsan Gampo and the tribal leaders.

However, after they surrounded them, they didn't do anything right away, they just surrounded them, because the peace negotiating minister had already rushed back, and whether they fought or made peace, it depended on Songtsan Gampo's choice.

The night is getting darker, the wind is blowing with coolness, and autumn is already a bit deep.

It was very quiet all around, only the sound of some insects could be heard in the quiet.

Cheng Chumo has always held his Xuanhua axe, as if they might fight Tubo at any time.

He was a little puzzled, a little puzzled.

"Brother Qin, this is a good opportunity to kill Songtsan Gampo, why do we have to make peace with them?"

Now that they are in control of the situation, there is absolutely no need to negotiate a peace, and once Songtsan Gampo dies, Tubo will surely collapse. At that time, they can take the opportunity to wipe out Tubo in one fell swoop.

This opportunity is once in a lifetime.
