This was a battle that decided between Tang and Tubo
20 years of peaceful war
Battle of Songzhou
AD 634
Tubo and Tang Dynasty had close contact for the first time
Tubo sent envoys to Chang'an
After the envoy returned to Tubo,
King Songtsen Gampo was very excited
Eager to have a good relationship with the prosperous Tang Dynasty
Especially if Datang wants to marry a princess.
That would be best
After all, the small countries around us
They are all proud to have a wife, a princess of the Tang Dynasty
My wife doesn’t speak Shaanxi dialect
I'm too embarrassed to go out and say hello
In Songtsen Gampo he burst into tears
After half a year of waiting
Chang'an didn't even send the princess's hair, okay?
You don’t want me, Songtsan Gampo, to be a cadre, right?
Tubo began to hold his breath from then on
AD 635
The Tang Dynasty sent Li Jing
The expeditionary group headed by Hou Jun and Li Daozong
Launched a war of annihilation against Chu Yuhun
Li Jing and his brothers
Cut all the way from Qinghai Lake to the south side of Kunlun Mountain
Human soldiers and horses suppress the snow
Travel more than three thousand miles
Tuyuhun really can’t run anymore
I had no choice but to surrender on the spot.
Become a vassal to the Tang Dynasty
Promise not to go to the mainland again for zero-dollar shopping
Continue to make a living by raising livestock on the south side of Qinghai Lake
Tubo, who was watching the excitement nearby, was very excited.
I can't beat Datang
Can you still defeat the Tuyuhun who only has half a life left?
Songtsen Gampo then set up his troops without any horses.
after three years
That is 638 years
Send 50,000 troops
Known as two hundred thousand
Launch a sneak attack on Chu Yuhun
After Tu Yuhun discovered that Tubo was attacking,
Overnight among the gifts sent by Datang
Revealed Sun Tzu's Art of War
Decided to use the strategy of leaving the problem to the big brother
He took his tribe and fled to the north shore of Qinghai Lake.
Hey, you chase
If you chase me again, you can still run to Chang'an
Do you believe it or not?
The Tubo people saw the Tuyuhun here
Nothing good to gain
Then he came up with the idea of Datang
On the one hand, he wrote to Datang
Say your princess won’t marry her
Then I'll kiss you
Going to Chang'an to marry
on the other hand
With an army of 50,000 bandits,
Come to Songzhou, the border of Datang Dynasty
That is today’s Songpan County, Sichuan
The Battle of Songzhou officially breaks out
The person stationed in Songzhou at that time was the governor Han Wei.
He also has about 10,000 garrison troops under his command
This guy also has a hot temper
Watch the Tubo people come and make trouble
Then he took people to comfort him immediately
You want them to stay somewhere cool?
Songtsen Gampo has long been angry
He replied that as long as the princess of Tang Dynasty does not come for one day,
I won't leave
Why
Han Wei has been stationed here for many years
I have never seen such an arrogant person before
Go up and chop with the knife in hand
It's a pity that there are too few people
I didn’t fight and had to escape back to the city.
Tell people to talk about the emperor
Come on
These people are serious
As soon as Li Shimin received the message,
Just gather 50,000 horses
Two lines support the Songzhou front line
Headed by Hou Junji along the way
The main force starting from Chang'an
about 40,000 people
Along the way is a partial division headed by Sichuan guard Niu Jinda.
about 10,000 people
50,000 versus 50,000
I’m very proud of you Tubo.
more than a month later
The Tibetan offensive was quite fierce
After pulling out multiple outpost levels
They have reached the foot of Songzhou City
and began a multi-day siege.
Han Wei told Hou Junji that he was "big brother"
If you don't come again
I'm going to be buried in the city
Hou Junji is also helpless. The mountains are high and the road is far away.
I'm not here yet, brother
He had no choice but to write to Niu Jinda, who was closer to him.
Ask him if he has arrived
Don't wait for me when you arrive
Start drying directly
Share the pressure with Han Wei
Niu Jinda is a real person
Although not famous
But the military strength is superior
He is Li Shimin's confidant.
Be the beloved general of a super warrior
Can you cook it?
After the cow enters and reaches the battlefield
He ordered the entire army to move forward
Without notifying friendly forces
Second, don’t beat gongs and drums to scare the enemy
Then I quietly touched Songtsen Gampo along the ravine.
The side of the camp
A direct sneak attack
These ten thousand people reached the Tubo camp in two steps.
The fighting situation at that time was very fierce
Niu Jindabu beheaded more than a thousand people
In other words, at least 10,000 people were injured.
Hey, try your best to ensure that everyone can practice
The Tubo people were caught off guard
Didn’t you say 50,000?
This number is wrong
How dare you hit me if you don't count correctly?
Then he followed Songtsen Gampo and ran wildly
Like a swallow that no one can catch up with that night
Waiting for Songtsen Gampo to escape and ascend to heaven
After stabilizing the body shape
When I inquired about Niu Jinda’s resume
Even more panicked
Niu Jinda is no longer a Sichuan defender
But the deputy commander of Tubo
Commander-in-chief of Tubo named by Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty
Not me, Songtsen Gampo
But the Hou Jun-level with an army of 40,000
Why
Songtsen Gampo wrote to Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty overnight
Brother, I was wrong
I was really wrong
Don't destroy me
Can I go back and specialize in internal affairs?
Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty took a look
Songtsen Gampo finally arrived
Princesses are not just married
You have to call me big brother first
Only then can you call me father-in-law
Why
Now I can marry you a princess
So I waited another three years
Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty drove Princess Wencheng to the burial
The couple has focused on Tibetan internal affairs for more than ten years
invent words
The prince’s son is studying abroad in Chang’an or something like that
Quickly improve the Tibetan civilization level
The two sides have maintained peace for more than ten years.
