Xinghai City has been almost demolished, but this is more convenient for the army to camp. Otherwise, if there are houses inside, the 100,000 troops will be in a garrison and the horse supplies will be a bit crowded.

After entering the city, the army began to camp and cook rice. The city not only had the fragrance of rice, but also the fragrance of stewed meat.

In this battle today, many war horses died, and these dead war horses could not be wasted and could only be eaten.

Dried rice, wild vegetables stewed with horse meat, and horse milk, for the soldiers on the battlefield, this meal can be said to be very rich, and it can replenish the energy consumed for the day.

Generals such as Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong and others also ate these. Although they were not rich or delicious to them, they all ate them in big mouthfuls, without caring about the image of the Duke.

Because I was really tired and hungry after this day. I didn’t feel that when I was fighting, I stopped now and it was like my front belly pressing against my back belly.

Although they were eating meat and dry rice, they still had one thing in their hearts, that is, whether Songtsen Gampo had escaped or had been killed.

A general walked in with great strides and reported in a deep voice: "The Duke of Qibing has identified all of them and is sure that there is no Songtsen Gampo's head. And the surrendered prisoner told him that he saw Songtsen Gampo's personal guard breaking through a gap and breaking out. He wanted to follow behind to break through, but the gap was quickly blocked."

Li Ji felt a little regretful when he heard this: "Sure enough, Songzan Gampo escaped!"

Cheng Yaojin slapped the table and said annoyedly: "I really let this old boy escape! I finally surrounded this old boy and actually let him escape!"

Yuchi Gong shouted, "Who could have thought that this old boy was so timid and afraid of death? He even changed his body!"

Su Cheng's face was calm and he smiled: "I hope the chasing cavalry can find Songtsen Gampo!"

Li Ji, Yuchi Gong, and Cheng Yaojin didn't say anything after hearing this because they understood that it was unlikely that they would chase Songtsen Gampo.

Li Ji said in a deep voice: "Since this battle is over, then hurry up and send the good news to Chang'an!"

The military's record offices of each army had already prepared the good news, and they had also drawn two directly, one to kill Songtsen Gampo and the other to not kill Songtsen Gampo.

Now that the war has been settled, the only thing that is uncertain is whether Songtsen Gampo was killed.

It was confirmed that Songtsen Gampo had escaped, and the reporter office quickly delivered the victory that had been drafted long ago.

Su Cheng, Li Ji, and Yuchi Gong each took the good news. After reading it, they felt that there was no problem and directly stamped them.

"Send it to the Minzhou Governor's Office overnight and hand it over to the Minzhou Governor, and ask him to rush to Chang'an!" Li Ji said in a deep voice.

Just as Su Cheng, Li Ji and the others were eating meat and discussing the good news, Songtsen Gampo was also sitting and eating.

In fact, he didn't want to stop at all, but after fighting for a day, he was tired and hungry, so he could only stop and rest for dinner. Even if he and his guards didn't have to rest, the war horses could not stand it.

The night had already covered the earth, but they did not dare to make fire at all, for fear that the fire would expose their whereabouts. Fortunately, a bright moon hung in the night sky, so that the night would not be too dark.

They chewed barley bread and drank horse milk, and the war horses were looking for food next to them. From time to time, they took out food from the pockets of the war horses to feed the war horses. They had to let the war horses recover their strength as soon as possible.

Songtsen Gampo was also gnawing barley cakes and drinking horse milk. He hadn't eaten so shabby for years.

Of course, what made Songtsen Gampo the most heartbroken now was not the shabby food, but the ten-strong army that went to war now had only one thousand personal guards left.

How desolate this is!

What a painful failure this is!

Since he inherited the position of Zamp, fought south and north to unify the plateau, and then continued to expand, he has not experienced failures, but he has never experienced such a painful failure!

He has always had ambitions and is the most outstanding hero of the world. If he was not born on the plateau, but was born in the Central Plains, he would definitely do better than Li Shimin.

Unfortunately, I was born in the wrong place.

Even if you were born in the wrong place, God will send talented people to assist him!

Why did the Tang Dynasty have such a genius as Su Cheng, but they did not have them in Tubo?

At this moment, when talking about Su Cheng, the feeling in his heart became even more complicated, including envy, fear, and hatred.

Before going to war again, he thought that he would return without success, but never expected that he would be defeated.

He had heard about the power of firearms before, and this time he finally experienced it himself.

If it weren't for the firearm, if it weren't for Su Cheng, how could he be defeated?

Who would have thought that Su Cheng would actually be a bait?

Who would have thought that Su Cheng was surrounded by a large army and dared to preserve his strength and pretended not to support him? Aren’t he afraid that Xinghai City would be really broken?

It's so sinister, too cunning, too conceited!

Will Su Cheng, who is so insidious and conceited, be willing to let him go?

Definitely unwilling to give up!

Su Cheng will definitely send cavalry to chase him overnight!

"Let's rest for another half an hour and we'll continue to set off!" Songtsen Gampo ordered in a deep voice.

"Zanpu, I don't know if the battlefield over there is over. It's already dark. It's impossible for the Tang people to chase after you, right?" the guard hesitated.

"Yes, Zamp, although Bei Li is not tired, I am afraid that the war horses will not be able to stand it!"

Songtsen Gampo slowly shook his head and said, "Now the Tang people should have cleared the battlefield. They should have confirmed that we have broken through. Su Cheng and his men are insidious and cunning. They will definitely chase the cavalry overnight. We are still very close to Xinghai City, which is too dangerous here! Therefore, we must set out overnight. You can walk slowly, and you can cherish your horsepower, but you must never stop!"

"Zanpu, where are we going? Should we find a place to gather the troops and horses that broke through or go back to Tubo directly?" the guard asked hurriedly.

Songtsen Gampo shook his head decisively after hearing this: "It is not advisable to gather troops now, as it will be exposed and the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty will be targeted by the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty. The cavalry who breaks out will return to Tubo on their own."

Faced with the danger of being pursued by the Tang army, Songtsen Gampo was very cautious. As long as he took a wrong step, he might be doomed.

Therefore, even if we are cautious, it is not an exaggeration. Songtsen Gampo pondered: "We cannot return to Tubo directly. If we go back to Tubo directly, we cannot get rid of the pursuers of the Tang Dynasty, it is too dangerous! We don't have many people, so we can find a road that is difficult to walk on in a large army!"
