Something big happened in the Da Fei Chuan military camp today.

Along with Hou Junji, more than ten thousand of the soldiers from Da Feichuan had returned.

At dawn, the patrolling sentry noticed a large number of people in the northwest. They thought it was an enemy sneak attack, so they immediately let out an alarm. The army of Lord Zuoyu of Dafei Chuan immediately reacted in a stressful manner. Zhu Bancheng, who was leading his troops, led his cavalry to block the battle, only to discover that he was one of his own!

The area of the barracks was quite large. When Qin Mubai arrived at the Zuoyu Marquis Barracks, the ten thousand plus soldiers took off their armor and knelt on the ground naked.

“What’s going on?” Qin Mubai asked Zuo Yu Army Commander Zhu Bancheng.

Zhu Bancheng reported the truth that he had found out, saying that these people had been blown back by Hou Junji. By now, Hou Junji should have already rushed towards Tibet’s lair, Luo Xie City. Before the start of the war, Hou Junji had blasted back all his subordinates who were sick, seriously injured, and the only male left in the family.

The more than 10,000 soldiers knelt on the ground, completely silent.

Zhu Bancheng sighed and said, “These soldiers know that they have violated the military law and are here to apologize.”

Qin Mubai’s brows furrowed as he looked at the group of Guang Zi soldiers kneeling in front of him. He remained silent for a long time.

“Major Marshal, please give me a chance to die!” Someone among the kneeling soldiers suddenly shouted.

Everyone echoed-“Please give me death!”

The sergeants all shouted in agreement. Many people were carried back from their stretchers, but they also shouted.

Qin Mubai continued to remain silent and quietly looked at the people in front of him.

The soldiers shouted for a while. Seeing Qin Mubai’s terrible silence, they all shut their mouths again.

“You are not guilty. Return to the army immediately and temporarily return to the Zuoyu Marquis Camp under General Zhu’s command.” Qin Mubai finally spoke and said to Zhu Bancheng, “Go find Quan Wanji and ask him to send you more doctors and medicines. None of the people in front of you can die!”

“Yes!” Zhu Bancheng agreed excitedly and shouted, “Brothers, Major Marshal said-you are not guilty!”

Originally, he thought that the soldiers kneeling on the ground would cheer and thunder when they heard this news. Unexpectedly, it became even quieter. The soldiers raised their heads and looked at Qin Mubai at the same time.

Qin Mubai sighed, mounted his horse and whipped away.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd kneeling on the ground cried out in pain! Immediately after, more people, many people, and all of them began to cry out in unison!

“We are originally damned people! If we don’t die in the plateau, we will die in the military!”

“Our Great Tang’s military rules are ruthless and strict. If Major Marshal indulges us like this, he will be implicated in the future!”

“Major Marshal’s righteousness is no less than his father’s late husband, Qin Gong!”

…

Zhu Bancheng looked at the scene in front of him and was stunned for a moment. Although he was already one of the Eight Military Stages, his days with Qin Mubai were not long. At this moment, he murmured, “Now I roughly understand why no one in the Kansai army can shake Qin Mubai’s prestige!”-Not to mention anything else, these ten thousand soldiers in front of me will be willing to die for him in the future! ”

When Qin Mubai returned to the commander’s camp, his heart felt a little stupefied. He sat alone in the backyard pavilion in a daze. Li Ke came to look for him and saw him like this. He stepped forward and asked, “I heard that a group of soldiers who followed Hou Junji on the expedition have returned?”

“Yes.” Qin Mubai answered carelessly.

“What do you plan to do with them?”

“It’s already been disposed of.”

Li Ke was stunned for a moment, then sat down beside him and said, “So fast …”

“How long will it take for a single sentence to happen?”

Li Ke raised his eyebrows in surprise, “Then … how did you deal with it?”

Qin Mubai asked indifferently, “Your Highness is a supervisor. In your opinion, what should they do?”

Li Ke knitted his brows. “These people have seriously violated the military law and even committed heinous crimes. They have both committed two crimes–conspiracy and disrespect!”

“It’s not that serious.” Qin Mubai remained calm and said, “It is far-fetched to say that they have committed heinous crimes. Did they betray the country? Not only did they not betray the country, but they also caused serious injuries to the enemy. They are even more disrespectful. When did they insult the Emperor? When did they destroy the Mausoleum of the Ancestral Temple? When did they harm any royal family member?”

Li Ke was speechless for a moment. He smiled bitterly and said, “I have forgotten that you learned the law from Yu Shinan when you were in Baiji. You know this very well. Speaking of which, they have no enmity with me. Of course, I don’t want them to die. I’m just worried that someone will say that you are lax in law enforcement and tolerate adultery, and that you are selfish and undisciplined!”

Qin Mubai looked at Li Ke and said seriously, “No matter what, I will never wield a butcher’s knife against my brother. They are warriors, one in a hundred, truly loyal to the Great Tang. Even if I am impeached by the imperial concubine in the future, it doesn’t matter. Someone in Qin’s post is worth more than ten thousand lives!”

“Alright, I should have known that I couldn’t defeat you. And since you’ve already decided, I won’t interfere in anything else.” Li Ke smiled and said, “But who told me to be the supervisor? My duty is to remind you, even if I don’t interfere in your affairs.”

“That’s true.” Qin Mubai nodded with a smile and said, “Fortunately, you’re the one in charge. If it was anyone else, how could I let him follow me to Dafeichuan to cause trouble?”

“Haha!” Li Ke laughed loudly and said, “I guess my father sent me because he was certain of your temperament. Otherwise, anyone else would have quarreled with you-well, I won’t interfere with this matter. It’s good that you’ve decided. Now, let’s discuss another very important matter!”

“What is it?”

Li Ke looked at Qin Mubai and said, “Not long after you left Zhongjun for Zuoyu Marquis Camp, the Tibetan messenger arrived.”

“Oh?” Qin Mubai was slightly surprised, “What are you doing here?”

“Surrender, please make peace.” Qin Mubai’s expression changed when he heard the simple words coming out of Li Ke’s mouth.

“What?”

“Surrender, please make peace!” Li Ke repeated.

Qin Mubai was a little dazed for a moment and remained silent for a long time.

“What’s wrong with you? Are you surprised? Tibet is on the verge of subjugation. It should be reasonable to surrender at this time and ask for peace!” It was Li Ke’s turn to be surprised.

“If you know Garqin Mausoleum, you will know that this is not reasonable.” Qin Mubai said solemnly, “Garqin Mausoleum is ruthless and scheming. Surrender before a full-blown confrontation? This is definitely not his style!”

“What if this is Zamper’s decision?” Li Ke said.

“That’s even more impossible!” Qin Mubai said more confidently, “In Tibet, there will be some major issues that will be decided or implemented without going through Zan Pu. However, there will absolutely not be any major issues that will be decided or implemented without going through Gaer Qinling.”

‘”Gaer Qinling, are you really that powerful?” Li Ke frowned and said, “Actually, it would be great if we could win without a fight. After all, a war is not a good thing. Killing a thousand enemies costs 800 yuan. However, since you said so, we have to think about it. At such a critical juncture, would the Tibetans be cheating if they offered to surrender and make peace?”

“Wait until I see that Tibetan messenger!”

“Alright!-Someone, bring the Tibetan messenger Deg Danbawangje over!”

“One ear, Deg Danbawanger?” Qin Mubai was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said, “I’m an old acquaintance.”

“Yes, that person is indeed missing an ear. He is still wrapped in medicine.” Li Ke asked doubtfully, “Do you know him?”

“Of course.” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “A familiar old friend! If it weren’t for him, how would my previous scheme of fraudulent death have succeeded? I didn’t expect him to come again this time!”

“Again?” Li Ke couldn’t help but laugh when he heard this strange word, “Looks like you’re going to play tricks on him again.”

As he spoke, Danba Wangjie came alone.

“Ambassador Danba Wangjie pays his respects to His Highness King Wu of the Great Tang Empire and General Qin of the Empire!” Danba Wangjie bowed respectfully.

“You are welcome.” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “General De Ge, you and I can be considered as acquaintances. Why are you here this time? Let’s cut to the chase. Don’t beat around the bush.”

“On the orders of Zan Pu, I have come to request surrender to your army and peace from your country!” Danba Wangjie did not hesitate and directly handed over the credentials.

Qin Mubai took it and gave it to Li Ke, “Your Highness, please take a look first.”

Li Ke took the letter and looked at it with a look of surprise on his face. “Is this really a book written by Tibetan Zan Pu?”

“Absolutely true.” Danba Wangjie said solemnly, “General Qin knows that the British envoy is the captain of Zan Pu’s personal guards. He has never been ordered to do anything by Zan Pu alone. Even Marshal Garr has no right to send me. Last time …”

Qin Mubai waved her hand and interrupted him with a smile, “There’s no need to talk about the past! I’m sorry, General Deger, I was unkind last time and used you to make you lose an ear. I knew you were telling the truth, but I have to listen to you as a lie, understand?”

“I understand. I don’t blame General Qin …” Danba Wangjie sighed and said, “General Qin has used his divine wisdom and wisdom. Even Marshal Gal has fallen for your trap. What else can I say?”

“Stop gossiping and talk about what’s right in front of you.” Qin Mubai said, “What is the reason for your Zan Pu’s decision to surrender so early? Does Gaer Qinling know about this?”

“Marshal Garr not only knew, he also participated in the decision. This decision was made jointly by Zan Pu and Marshal Garr.” Danba Wangjie replied.

At this moment, Li Ke exclaimed again, “Mubai, there’s something you definitely can’t guess-abandoning the sect and praising it, actually willing to be captured by our army, willing to go to Chang’an as a hostage!”

“Oh?” This was truly beyond Qin Mubai’s expectations. He took out the Tibetan credentials and read them carefully. It was indeed said in the book that if Guanxi Army accepted Tibet’s surrender, Tibet’s Zan Pu Qizong Nongzan was willing to go to Chang’an to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and stay in Chang’an forever and never return to the plateau. From then on, Tibet became a vassal state of the Great Tang, paying tribute year after year.

“Offer, serve, and pay tribute-that’s all!” After Qin Mubai finished reading, he sneered and threw the credentials on the table.

Danba Wangjie’s expression instantly changed as he said anxiously, “General Qin, Zan Pu and Marshal are definitely sincerely asking for peace!”

Li Ke was not sure in his heart, so he kept his mouth shut. After spending a long time together, Li Ke developed the habit of disrupting Qin Mubai’s train of thought and plans before he could figure it out. Because he believed that Qin Mubai would always be able to think clearly and make wise decisions before him.

Was this a type of trust or dependence? Li Ke himself did not know.

“General Deger, with all due respect, your letter of surrender does not have the slightest sincerity.” Qin Mubai suddenly said.

“What did General Qin say?” Danba Wangjie was a little anxious.

“Since the two countries have already fought, they must have a deep enmity. Now that you say surrender, surrender. Please make peace with us. Then the military and material resources we invested earlier will be in vain?” Qin Mubai said, “Since you are the enemy, don’t talk about trust. Since you are surrendering and inviting peace, please start from a position of mutual distrust-if you want me to accept your surrender, then the Great Tang must accept your inviting peace, unless my conditions are fulfilled!”

Danba Wangjie’s eyes revealed an extremely panicked expression. He took a deep breath and said, “General Qin … please speak!”

“Firstly, Zan Pu must be taken hostage in Chang’an. However, he cannot go alone. He must be accompanied by the whole family of Zan Pu, including his parents, brothers, wives, concubines and children!”

“Second, I must hand over the Garqin Mausoleum. This Marshal and the Great Tang Imperial Court will definitely not allow this war criminal who has committed numerous crimes to remain on the plateau!”

“Thirdly, since Tibet surrenders and becomes a vassal state of the Great Tang, then the Tibetan plateau must accept the administrative division of the Great Tang, that is, abolish the tribal structure and implement the state and county system. The governors, secretaries, and magistrates must be appointed by the Great Tang Imperial Court!”

“Fourth, the Great Tang must station troops on the plateau. The former Tibetan military regions are taken over by the Great Tang. The original generals and soldiers will be dispatched by the Great Tang Military Ministry!”

“Fifth, abolish all your previous systems and laws and accept the laws and regulations of the Great Tang and civilized education!”

“Of the five, one is not acceptable or impossible. Surrender and don’t talk about it. Let Garqin Mausoleum lead the troops to fight me to the death!”

…

Danba Wangjie and Li Ke were stunned by Qin Mubai’s chatter.

Danba Wangjie was stunned because these five rules, no matter which, were symbols of the complete destruction of the Tibetan Dynasty. Li Ke was stunned because Qin Mubai had been so thoughtful in this short period of time.

Seeing Danba Wangjie standing there in a daze, Qin Mubai smiled calmly and said, “What’s wrong, General Deger? Could it be that what I said is unreasonable?”

“General Qin, you want to destroy my Tibet!” Danba Wangjie’s voice trembled.

“Correct answer.” Qin Mubai’s expression darkened. “So, don’t play any tricks on me!”–either fight to the death, or accept the five conditions I said! Apart from that, there’s no other way! ”

“Mubai, wait!” Li Ke suddenly said, “Why don’t you think twice?”

“No need!” Qin Mubai suddenly shouted, “Your Highness, please forgive me for being so arbitrary!”

Danba Wangjie was almost in despair. He looked at Qin Mubai with a pale face and then at Li Ke. Suddenly, he seemed to have grabbed onto a life-saving straw and shouted, “Your Highness, could it be that the surname of the Great Tang is no longer Li, but Qin?”

“Impudent!!!” Li Ke was furious and reached out to pull out his sword.

Instead, Qin Mubai pulled him back and turned to Danba Wangjie and said coldly, “Danba Wangjie, go back and tell Qizong Nongzan and Garqin Mausoleum.” Other people don’t know what they’re thinking, but I, Qin Mubai, know it all too well. What kind of slow-moving strategy, Huairou’s strategy, is useless in front of me, Qin! I won’t repeat what I said. You can choose between the two paths! Between the Great Tang and Tibet, only one dynasty was destined to remain standing! I’ll give you one last sentence: Although Han is a scholar, he is not necessarily weak! “Those who offend the might of the Heavenly Dynasty will be executed even if they are far away!”
