Chapter 1252: Betrayer

The vast team was indeed from Tubo along the wide and straight road. However, it was not because of the victory. The documents that reported the victory had already arrived in Chang'an. This team was just escorting Tubo from Zamp and the Potala Palace, and from some nobles to Chang'an, just like the emperor to offer prisoners.

At the end of June, the war in Tubo was actually over from a broad perspective.

Lhasa was captured too quickly, and the Tang army came too quickly and suddenly. The dignitaries and tribe leaders gathered in Lhasa basically had no escapes. They were completely trapped by a large number of cavalrymen of the Tang army, and then they were all caught in one go.

What caused this situation was that after the death of Tochar, Delhi Chinan gathered great power and reunified Tubo. In order to ensure stability and unification within Tubo, Delhi Chinan forced some influential Tubo nobles and the leaders of the large tribe to all arrive in Lhasa.

This invisibly helped the Tang army a great favor, and invisibly reduced the pressure and pressure for the Tang army to sweep away the rest of the Tubo army. After the Tubo army was defeated, the tribes scattered everywhere had no heads and could not organize effective resistance at all, let alone everyone united to resist the Tang army.

Furthermore, with the full cooperation of Xenobud and Lomba's great Lama, most of the tribes, which were originally invincible, finally completely gave up their resistance.

Wherever the Tang army went, they either surrendered or collapsed at once. By the end of July, the entire plateau had basically been completely controlled by the Tang army, and the remaining small fish and shrimps could not touch the overall situation at all. It was under such circumstances that Liu Ruyan and Li Cunzhong ordered these people to be escorted to Chang'an.

If there is still some trouble, it is the Big and Bolu occupied by Mangaba's younger brother. Now Li Hai and Han Rui's troops are divided into two groups and are approaching Big and Bolu.

Tang Degong, the former assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, jumped to become another chief official of the Tang Dynasty. In order to serve as the governor of the Qinghai-Tibet province, Senobude, Abdula and Xue Renzhong became the chief officials of various departments of the newly established Qinghai-Tibet province. Li Rui was the commander of the army stationed in Qinghai-Tibet as the General of the Left Wu Guard, and Han Rui was his deputy.

Li Cunzhong returned to Chang'an to report his duties to the Military Commission.

In fact, everyone knows that Li Cunzhong has completed his historical mission. This time he returns to Chang'an, he will inevitably receive rich rewards and then take up a leisurely position in the Military Commission or other departments, and then retreat to the second line.

However, Li Cunzhong was already very satisfied. Looking at the 12 generals of the Tang Dynasty, who could compete with him? His strong points must be above the historical books. This is also the best reward for his hard work over the past ten years.

So when the overall situation was settled, he happily handed over military affairs, and then returned to Xining with Liu Ruyan. He handled his property in Xining very simply and neatly and rushed back to Chang'an with his family.

He left very thoroughly, and even his son and other relatives who served in the Zuo Wuwei were brought back. He was preparing to completely let his influence disappear from the Zuo Wuwei.

Regarding his series of actions, the Neiwei's report used four words to evaluate them.

When Li Ze faced some negative things mentioned by Li Cunzhong in the Zuowu Guard in the past few years, Li Ze wiped it all out with a stroke of his pen.

Wu Jin of the Supervisory Committee did not say much about Li Ze's approach. After all, Guan'er has achieved Li Cunzhong's position. Some economic problems are actually not a big problem. As long as it is not excessive, it can be tolerated.

When the water is clear, there will be no fish. After all, not everyone has a person like Wu Jin. And Wu Jin is not a real politically sloppy blue.

Among the people in this group, Liu Ruyan was naturally happy. She really missed Li Ze after leaving Chang'an for half a year.

Li Cunzhong was naturally happy because he had achieved success. Compared with his old boss Han Qi and others in the past, his reputation in history will inevitably be even greater in the future.

The soldiers of the Zuo Wu Guard were naturally happy. These people were carefully selected and those who made great contributions in this war came back to receive the commendation. It is said that the emperor would also meet them in person. This glory was enough for them to brag about their previous life.

Some are happy, some are unhappy, and even miserable.

These people were naturally those Tubo prisoners.

Although they still enjoyed the corresponding courtesy and treatment after being captured, especially Zamp and the great lamas, this did not change the fact that they were prisoners.

And it can be imagined that after leaving their hometown, they will never be able to return to their hometown in their lifetime.

Among the team, the most embarrassing thing is Thanobud.

He was the only free Tubo noble in the team. He was a high-ranking official in the Qinghai-Tibet province of the Tang Dynasty. He was also a traitor and an alien in the eyes of these Tubo prisoners. These people even blamed him for the failure of Tubo's destruction of this country and determined that he was a spy sent back to Tubo by the Tang people.

Xenobud had troubles.

Facing the glaring eyes of the tribe, humiliation, ridicule, and harsh words of his tribe, he could only respond with a wry smile. Along the way, he had to do his best to take care of these people and prevent them from being wronged. After all, along the way, many local officials from the Tang Dynasty, who were paying homage to Liu Ruyan and Li Cunzhong, actually wanted to visit these Tubo nobles like monkeys.

With the strength of his heart, Sinobud was originally a mighty man who lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye. The pain in his heart was probably greater than the external influence.

Sitting cross-legged opposite Liu Ruyan, Sinobud looked up at the most noble woman in the Tang Dynasty opposite him. At this moment, he was dressed as an ordinary woman, wearing wooden hairpins and green clothes, but the power that was often developed in a high position was something that Liu Ruyan could not cover up no matter how she wanted to cover it up.

"You didn't eat staple food at noon today, but you drank a lot of wine." Smelling the strong smell of wine on Sinnobud, Liu Ruyan frowned and took a carry-on box from beside her: "This is some snacks, let's talk while you eat."

"Thank you, Empress!" Senobud bowed and said, "I am ashamed, confused, and unstable."

"You can tell." Liu Ruyan said: "Do you think you are a betrayer?"

Xenobud remained silent.

"For these people, you are a betrayer." Liu Ruyan continued: "For many Tuban people at present, you are probably also a betrayer. A while ago, you were assassinated seven times. Five of them were arrested by the inner guards in advance and two of them were your past subordinates. They almost succeeded, but in the end you let the person go."

Xanobud lowered his head.

"But Sinobud, for the future Tubo people, you will be their hero, and you will be their object of remembering." Liu Ruyan pushed a box of exquisite desserts in front of Sinobud.

"I hope so!" Sinobud knew Liu Ruyan well. As a woman from a commanding general, the other party was actually very generous and did not like to shrink his hands and feet. He immediately picked up a piece of snack and started eating.

"You have been in the Tang Dynasty for many years. Do you think Tubo now will be our Tang Dynasty's opponent?" Liu Ruyan asked.

"no!"

"Are you the people of the Tang Dynasty doing a good life, or are you the people of Tubo doing a good life?"

"The people of the Tang Dynasty." Snowbud didn't want to answer this question, but he could not hide this obvious fact.

"There are many Tubo people who hate you now, because they do not understand the lives of the people of the Tang Dynasty. They are also full of fear and fear of their future because of the broken life of the past. They are all afraid of change and afraid of becoming worse because of the rule of the Tang Dynasty." Liu Ruyan said: "This is like a monkey, locked in a chain and locked in an iron cage for many years. He has become accustomed to such a life. Once the cage is opened and the chain is loose, the monkey is afraid and dare not go out. Because he doesn't know what he will face next?"

"And you, Sinobud, will guide these monkeys to the free life. This metaphor has no malice, nor does it mean to belittle the Tubo people." Liu Ruyan said.

"I know!" said Snowbud.

"When there are guides, those who have been locked up for many years, gain freedom and find their own freedom, they will eventually discover how ridiculous the original fear and fear are. At that time, when they look back, they will truly remember you and thank you."

"This thing is more suitable for Abdula than me."

Liu Ruyan shook her head slowly: "It is difficult for Abdula to do exactly what we want him to do because of his shortcomings in background, knowledge, etc. His ideas are too extreme and narrow. It can be used as a check and balance for you, but he must not be allowed to dominate such things. That will bring many things to the other extreme. Because Tubo is not only a serf, but also ordinary herdsmen, warriors, self-cultivated farmers, as well as some small nobles, as well as a large number of officials and monks. You are different. We think your knowledge and political literacy are enough for you to weigh the pros and cons in the future process of governing Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-Tibet Qinghai-T

"Shenobud, we chose you, not a thousand gold horse bones, but a real need for you. You must understand this. What you must be more clear is that the people you serve now are no longer the great nobles and slave owners of Tubo in the past, but the millions of Tubo people. You have been in the Tang Dynasty for many years and you should know what the Emperor’s thoughts. Over the years, His Majesty the Emperor has to chat with you if you have something to do, but it is not aimless, but is meant to point out. This is the truth of water droplets and stones."
