What happened next was exactly as Zhao Ziliang expected.
The Tubo army in the Yushu area did not expect that a Tang army would come from behind.
They had no preparation at all.
After being attacked, the Tubo army in the Yushu area The army was severely defeated and fled in all directions.
In the next few days, Zhao Ziliang led this army and horses from the Chawula Pass back to Dafeichuan along the original Tang-Tibet ancient road.
They passed through the Tongtian River along the way and captured the Bayan Har Pass as quickly as possible.
After the occupation, Tu Tu, who was fighting the Longyou Army on the front line, The Tibetan army immediately cut off their retreat, and on the west side there were the Tang army stationed in Xituyuhun and the main force of the Tang army in Xihai County.
They wanted to break out from the west, but they were worried that the Kunlun Pass would be cut off.
After all, the Tang army could only appear behind them.
You have to take the Kunlun Pass area to get to the back.
Zhao Ziliang led the Tang Army cavalry of more than 1,000 people to station firmly at the Bayan Har Pass.
Knowing that their back was cut off, the Tibetan army stormed the Bayan Har Pass regardless of casualties in order to survive.
However, they suffered heavy losses, and the front was There was also a joint attack by the Tang Army's Xihai County Army and the Longyou Army.
Soon, the Tibetan army, which was blocked north of Bayan Har Mountain and Animaqing Mountain in Jishi Mountain, suffered heavy casualties and had no hope of breaking out, so they had to choose to surrender.
The Tang army quickly gathered prisoners, occupied the area north of Bayan Harshang, and launched a massive attack to the south.
The Tibetan army in the Yushu area, which had long been defeated from behind, had been defeated and could not organize an effective defense.
Now the Tang army once again attacked from the north.
After returning, the Tibetan troops from all over the country fled again.
In just a few days, the vanguard of the Tang army advanced to the Chawula Pass and started a fierce battle with the 10,000 Tibetan troops transferred from the Tibetan hinterland around the Chawula Pass.
In the following days, the two sides fought fiercely at this pass.
Tens of thousands of troops were deployed nearby, and control of the mountain pass changed hands several times.
On the tenth day of April, control of the Chawula Pass fell into the hands of the Tibetan army again.
After all, the Tubo army was fighting on the mainland, and it was much easier to mobilize troops.
However, the Tang army had been fighting fiercely for more than a month, and had traveled long distances deep into the hinterland of Tibet.
Moreover, altitude sickness made Long The combat effectiveness of the Youtang Army dropped too sharply, and they ultimately failed to capture the Chawula Pass.
When the war slowed down a bit, Huangfu Weiming and Zhao Ziliang sent eight hundred miles each to rush to send battle reports to the court.
They also put forward the same views and suggestions.
If the Tubo people asked for it, they could talk about it.
The boundaries should be divided according to the actual occupied area.
Otherwise Keep playing until one side throws Until surrender or compromise, regarding the division of boundaries, Zhao Ziliang and Huangfu Weiming also made suggestions.
The Chawula Pass can be dispensed with.
After all, it is still in the hands of the Tibetan army, but the Kunlun Pass, Tanggula Pass and Bayan Hara Pass must not be "Let it out" In fact, the Tang army has been exhausted since the war started.
Not only the consumption of strategic materials is extremely serious, but the combat effectiveness of the Tang army has also been greatly weakened, mainly because it has not adapted to altitude sickness.
Zhao Ziliang's Western Navy is better, especially Huangfu Weiming's Longyou Army.
I had never received any anti-altitude sickness training before, nor had I been equipped with relevant medications.
Now, even if I wanted to continue fighting, it would be very difficult.
The Western Navy on Zhao Ziliang's side can hold on, but its weakness is that it has too few troops.
In addition, the Da Dou Army only has a total of 17,000 people.
This troop strength is too small compared to the Tubo Army.
Tubo can concentrate most of its troops.
In this area, Datang cannot.
By the beginning of May, no one knew how the Tibetan mission operated.
They and the imperial court finally reached an agreement on peace talks, and the 800-mile express horse was rushing from the capital day and night to the war zone between Tang and Tibet.
The Lachu River is now on both sides of the upper reaches of the Lancang River.
On the south bank are prayer flags flying, colorful flags fluttering, and Tibetan cowhide tents everywhere.

On the north bank, there are large banners in the middle, flags fluttering, and Tang military generals' flags.
Until now, the two sides are facing each other across the upper reaches of the Lachu River, refusing to give in.
The ice in the river has begun to melt, and the Tang army can no longer attack the Tibetan army on the opposite side of the ice.
Zhao Ziliang, Ma Lin, Bo Lehan and others rode slowly by the river to inspect various defenses.
Although the Tang Army was in an advantageous and offensive situation, corresponding defenses had to be made.
After patrolling for a while, there was a tall and ancient statue erected by the river in front.
This was the statue of Princess Wencheng.
It was here that Princess Wencheng crossed the Lachu River and crossed the Chawula Pass to enter Tubo more than a hundred years ago.
When they came to the statue, Zhao Ziliang and others dismounted and faced the statue with clasped fists and bowed their heads in salute.
After a long time, everyone raised their heads after the ceremony.
Zhao Ziliang looked at the weathered statue covered with moss, and sighed in his heart.
He sighed to the generals behind him: "I remember when Princess Wencheng and Princess Jincheng fought against Tibet for our sake.
He devoted his whole life to peace, but the war between Tibet and our country has never stopped for so many years."
Ma Lin said: "General, the situation is now favorable to me.
We should attack the Tanggula Mountains in one go, enter the hinterland of Tubo, and destroy the Tubo Kingdom once and for all."
Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "I hope so."
Nowadays, Ma Lin has a low military position and a little less knowledge, but Zhao Ziliang is now a senior general of the Tang Dynasty.
He has served as the governor of the West Sea, the prefect, and the fourth-grade general Xuanwei.
He has a good understanding of the upper class of the Tang Dynasty and the strength of the Tubo Kingdom.
Have a clear understanding.
In the hearts of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo was always a barbarian, but Tubo also had a kinship relationship with the Tang Dynasty.
This made the emperor and ministers of the Tang Dynasty always regard themselves as their elders in front of Tubo.
Now Tubo is visiting Tang Dynasty as a nephew.
Emperor Li Longji and the imperial court begged for peace.
The vanity of the ministers was greatly satisfied.
In addition, the Tubo envoys bribed a large number of ministers, including Li Linfu, with large amounts of gold and silver.
The Tang Dynasty also believed that the war was over.
That's all.
Give the nephew of Tubo a little face, and the other way On the other hand, due to the fact that Emperor Li Longji has increasingly indulged in pleasure over the years, the royal family has spent a lot of money, which has taken up military expenditures.
Until now, this war has been fought, and the imperial military expenditures for Tibet have been almost used up, and there is no need to continue the war.
If the military expenditure continues, it is better to accept it as soon as possible, Zhao Ziliang had an informant in Chang'an.
Although he did not know everything about what happened in Chang'an, he was very clear about these things.
He just hoped that the peace talks would end later, at least until the Tang army drove the Tibetan army to the south of Tanggula Mountain and captured it.
It will not be too late to end the war after Chawula Pass.
After leaving the river, on the way back to the military camp, Zhao Ziliang asked Ma Lin: "How are the preparations for the infantry bow, Fuyuan crossbow, bed crossbow and arrows?"
Ma Lin cupped his fists and said: "General, after these days of raising money and the people working day and night, we have raised 800,000 arrows and crossbows.
In addition, we have transferred 20,000 pairs of infantry bows and 2,000 pairs of crossbows.
The Fuyuan Crossbow and four hundred bed crossbows have been transferred, and they can be put to use as soon as the general orders.
The general believes that under the attack of so many bows and arrows, Fuyuan Crossbow and bed crossbow, the Tibetan army on the opposite side will still be able to use them.
Can hold up” Zhao Ziliang nodded and accelerated his horse back to the camp.
Back at the camp, Zhao Ziliang came to Huangfu Weiming's tent.
Although he was not directly under Huangfu Weiming's command, Huangfu Weiming's official position was much greater than his.
According to convention, even Hexi Jiedushi Wang Jue had to be under the command of Huangfu Weiming.
Huangfu Weiming was known for his temperance, so in this battle, Huangfu Weiming was still the commander, and Huangfu Weiming was also the main commander.
Now, the main focus of Hexi Jiedushi Wang Jue was on the northern Turks who were ready to move.

When he walked into Huangfu Weiming's tent, Huangfu Weiming was discussing battle arrangements with some of his generals.
When he saw Zhao Ziliang coming back from his inspection, he asked: "General Zhao is back and what is the result of his inspection?"
Zhao Ziliang clasped his fists and said: "Commander, there are no problems with our army's defenses.
The soldiers are very vigilant, and the Tibetans on the opposite side have not relaxed.
There are patrols everywhere along the river.
It is almost impossible for us to make a sneak attack."
Huangfu Weiming motioned for Zhao Ziliang to take a seat and asked: "Now the war has reached a deadlock.
I was just discussing with the generals how to break the deadlock.
I wonder if General Zhao has any good strategies?"
Zhao Ziliang pondered for a moment and cupped his hands and said: "Commander, in fact, I have been thinking about this matter these days.
Now the Lachu River blocks our army's attack.
This is not good for us but good for the Tibetan army.
We want our army to rush through it in one go."
On the Lachu River, on the one hand, we must prepare enough boats and rafts, and on the other hand, we must provide enough cover for the soldiers and horses crossing the river. , the last general has ordered the deployment of 20,000 pairs of infantry bows, 2,000 pairs of Fuyuan crossbows and 400 pairs of bed crossbows.
When the army crosses the river to attack, our army will use a large number of infantry bows, Fuyuan crossbows and bed crossbows to attack The Fuyuan Nu on the other side of the river carried out long-range strikes to provide fire support for the army crossing the river and prevent the Tibetan army from attacking our army crossing the river halfway."
Huangfu Weiming stroked his long beard while listening and nodded from time to time.
Just when Huangfu Weiming was about to adopt Zhao Ziliang's battle plan and deployment after hearing it, a shout suddenly came from outside the camp: "800 miles from the capital, hurry up, hurry up at 800 miles."
Huangfu Weiming, Zhao Ziliang and all the generals in the tent were shocked when they heard this voice.
After a while, a tired and panting knight walked into the tent and bowed to Huangfu Weiming: "Commander of the Cavalry, the Eight Hundred Soldiers of the Ministry of War Urgent to Riga” The long bamboo tube on the knight's back was quickly taken into Huangfu Weiming's hand.
A roll of silk was pulled out from the bamboo tube and unfolded.
Huangfu Weiming felt his whole body go limp and slumped on the backrest.
When everyone saw Huangfu Weiming's performance, their hearts trembled, and a bad feeling surged into their hearts.
Zhao Ziliang said anxiously: "Commander, what does the court say?"
Huangfu Weiming said feebly with a decadent look on his face: "From now on, we will cease the war and wait for the envoy to come and read out the emperor's decree
