On the first day of September, the scout battalion sent a sentinel back to report that the situation in Langketang had been clearly investigated.
There were about a thousand Tibetan soldiers there, 700 infantry and 300 cavalry.
They also sent a detailed topographic map of Langketang.
After receiving the report, Zhao Ziliang immediately ordered Duan Xiushi to lead a mountain camp of 3,000 troops to attack and start the first battle against Tibet.
Half a day after Duan Xiushi led his army to set off, Zhao Ziliang immediately led the main force to follow.
Since the people of the Nibolu Kingdom were familiar with this generation, Zhao Ziliang ordered three thousand Nibolu mountain infantry to lead the way in front of the army.
On the afternoon of the second day of the lunar month, the Western Qin army was marching quickly towards Langketang, and Duan Xiushi sent someone to report the victory.
"Report to your Majesty, General Duan sent a villain to report that our mountain camp has successfully captured Langketang, killed more than 600 Tibetan soldiers, and captured more than 300 people.
We also sealed off the surrounding areas in a timely manner to prevent the news.
It is leaked that the scout camp has sent people Contacted our department and sent information about the enemy in Tingri and Malatang.
There were 1,000 Tibetan troops in Tingri and 1,500 in Malatang.
General Duan asked for orders to attack Tingri immediately.
The Tubo army captured these two places before they discovered our army."
After listening to the report of the victor, Zhao Ziliang asked: "Does the scout camp have any reports on the enemy situation in Gongtang and Sida Zang?"
"Your Majesty, the scout battalion has sent spies to these two places to investigate, but no news has been returned yet."
After Zhao Ziliang thought for a moment, he said to Tan Ma who reported the victory: "Go and tell Duan Xiushi that if the soldiers' physical strength and morale permit, I will allow him to lead his troops to attack Dingri and Maratang immediately."
"Follow your orders" On the morning of the third day of the lunar month, Zhao Ziliang led the main army to Langketang.
At this time, Xiu Shi had already led most of the soldiers from the mountain camp to attack Tingri.
Zhao Bei, the deputy general of the mountain camp who stayed at Langketang, led the soldiers who stayed behind to greet the main army. .
Langketang is located in a mountain depression, where tens of thousands of Tubo people live.
Before entering it, Zhao Ziliang, who was riding a horse in a team, saw many long ropes tied to two big trees on both sides of the mountain pass in front of the small town.
One end of the rope was tied to the tree trunk, and the other end was tied to the ground around the big tree.
On the big rocks, there are many colorful flags and streamers tied to each rope.
These small colorful flags and ribbons are like the canopy of a huge umbrella.
Under the blowing of the wind, these ribbons and small colorful flags are constantly fluttering and making a whining sound, which increases the solemnity and desolation on the plateau. feel.
After entering Langketang, Zhao Ziliang found that there were no city walls, not even low walls.
Every household's house was basically a house made of stones, with different heights.
Some were piled neatly, wide and Tall, some stone houses are piled up in a mess and may collapse at any time.
What surprised the soldiers of the Western Qin Army was that the Tubo people always liked to tie long ropes on the roofs of their houses or in front of their doors.
The long ropes were tied with many small colorful flags and ribbons.
These things almost formed the characteristics of Tubo.
It can be seen at any time, and these small colorful flags and ribbons have almost never stopped flying since they were tied up, because there is always wind here.
As Zhao Ziliang led the army to arrive, the Tibetan people here were driven to both sides of the road by the soldiers of the mountain camp who were left behind to greet them.
Zhao Ziliang saw that the Tibetan people were standing on both sides of the road ahead, so he reined in his horse and stopped without saying anything.
Zhao Bei, the deputy general of the mountain camp, quickly understood what Zhao Ziliang meant and immediately shouted to the Tubo people on both sides of the road: "Everyone kneels down, otherwise they will be killed without mercy."
A fat middle-aged Tibetan man stood hunched over and groveled beside Zhao Bei.
He quickly shouted to all the Tibetan people in Tubo and translated Zhao Bei's words.
The Tubo people on both sides did not react.
They looked angrily at this fat middle-aged man who was groveling to the Western Qin army.
They wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
Seeing that the Tubo people did not respond, Zhao Bei immediately raised his hands and shouted: "The first brigade of the third regiment, kill!"
After receiving the order, the soldiers slashed and stabbed the Tubo people in front of them with weapons.
All adults, children, old, weak, women and children were chopped down and stabbed to the ground.
The screams could be heard far away, and the blood quickly turned red.
The road was blocked, and in the blink of an eye, nearly two hundred Tibetans were captured.

Killing, the Tubo people on both sides of the road further ahead began to become confused.
Many people were very excited.
They turned around and had physical conflicts with the soldiers of the Western Qin Army standing behind them.
However, these people were soon severely and brutally suppressed. , corpses fell one by one.
Finally, some timid Tubo people chose to kneel down and surrender.
After kneeling down, other Tubo people hesitated a lot, and gradually gave up their insistence, and knelt on the ground one by one.
Zhao Bei quickly stepped forward with his sword in front of Zhao Ziliang's horse and knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, my grandson Zhao Bei has paid homage to the Tibetan people in Langketang who have surrendered to you.
Those who disobey have all been killed."
Zhao Bei is the eldest son of Zhao Hu and the oldest of Zhao Ziliang's grandchildren.
He is eighteen years old this year.
Zhao Ziliang comforted the restless war horse, stroking the horse's mane with his left hand, and said: "Some of them are timid and scared, so they kneel down to surrender, but more people are not convinced and are not willing to surrender.
The reason why they They kneel down because they know that resistance is futile now, so they choose to swallow their anger.
They hide their anger in their hearts, waiting for one day to burst out.
What the king wants is true surrender, not false surrender."
Zhao Bei was stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood, "It's my grandson who understands."
After saying that, he stood up, turned around, drew his sword and ordered loudly: "All soldiers obey the order, kill no one."
Swords and swords flashed on both sides of the road, blood continued to splash, and the Tubo people fell into a pool of blood one by one.
The middle-aged fat Tibetan man who was following Zhao Bei turned pale with fright when he saw this situation, and his whole body collapsed on the ground and trembled.
Half an hour later, all the Tubo people in Langketang were killed, and corpses were everywhere.
Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and waved forward, riding his horse into the city.
The army continued to advance, stepping on the corpses and corpses of countless Tubo people.
Blood enters.
Zhao Ziliang pointed his riding crop at the middle-aged fat Tibetan man who was lying limply on the ground and said, "Follow me."
The middle-aged fat Tubo man was still trembling and didn't hear Zhao Ziliang's words at all.
Zhao Bei raised his foot and kicked him over and shouted: "I heard that the king asked you to follow him, get up quickly."
"Ah, yes, yes, villain, get up, villain, get up immediately."
The middle-aged fat Tubo man immediately got up quickly and trotted next to Zhao Bei to catch up with Zhao Ziliang.
There is a Tubo Thousand Household House here in Langketang.
Although the Tubo soldiers were killed, the house in the Thousand Household House is still there.
This is also the largest and best house in Langketang.
The Tubo people practice a tribal military system.
The administrative chief is the military chief and the chief of the local tribe, so Qianhu in Qianhusuo is the chief of the tribe here.
The army was stationed in Langketang, and Zhao Ziliang naturally moved into the big house in Qianhusuo.
Zhao Ziliang walked to the gate of Qianhusuo and looked around, and found that the house was somewhat similar in style to the houses of wealthy families in the Central Plains.
He pointed at the middle-aged fat Tibetan man and said, "Wait outside, Zhao Bei comes in."
"Yes, yes, yes, the villain is waiting" Zhao Ziliang walked into the Qianhu Office.
The place had been cleaned up and there were many sentries.
Zhao Ziliang sat down on a big chair and asked Zhao Bei: "How long has Duan Xiushi been there?
Is there any news?"
Zhao Bei replied: "Yes, General Wang Duan led his troops to Tingri overnight yesterday evening.
There were people from the scout battalion in front to meet him, and there were local Tibetan guides to guide the way.
They have captured Tingri City.
Early this morning it was reported that When the news came back, he should have led his army to march towards Maratang by this time."
Zhao Ziliang asked: "How many people did he take with him when he set out from here?"
"Two thousand people" Zhao Ziliang frowned and said: "Duan Xiushi's troops are too thin.

They are more than enough for fighting.
But since they are divided into troops to guard the occupied areas, Xuan Yi is a little short of troops."
"I'm here," Xuan Yi stood up and clasped his fists in agreement.
Zhao Ziliang pointed at Xuan Yi and said: "Go and convey the king's decree to General Niboluokalu, and order him to lead his troops to Tingri in an hour, take over the local defense, and order the soldiers of the mountain camp who stayed in Tingri to go Maratang reinforces Duan Xiushi.
If Duan Xiushi takes Maratang, tell him to stay on the spot Stand by and do not attack Qusangda in the north and Gongtang in the west.
The Tibetan troops in Qusangda and Gongtang are too strong.
In the past, we had to defeat the majority with less, but we had no choice but to do so.
Now our troops are quite sufficient, and there is no need to wait for the main force of our army to arrive before we decide whether to fight with less or to fight with more."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Xuan Yi agreed, turned around and walked out.
Zhao Ziliang looked at Zhao Bei and asked, "Have you seen your father before setting off?"
Zhao Bei replied: "Before my grandson set out, his father was still on his way back to Xinjing.
At that time, the big expedition was about to take place, so my grandson could only go with General Duan to lead his army.
He has already written a letter to his family."
"You father and son have not seen each other for four years.
It is not well thought of me to ask you to go out with the army."
Zhao Ziliang sighed, then waved his hand and said: "Forget it, since you have gone out with the army, you can fight with peace of mind.
Don't half-heartedly call in the fat Tibetan man outside the door."
"yes" Zhao Bei quickly brought in the middle-aged fat Tibetan man who was waiting outside the door.
When the fat man saw Zhao Ziliang, he immediately knelt down and said, "Long live the king of Zhamu, long live, long live."
Zhao Ziliang asked: "You are pretty good at this.
Where did you learn it?"
Zhamu replied: "Back to your Majesty, when I was young, I went to Chang'an as an envoy of the Zanpu envoy to meet the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so I know some Han etiquette."
"I see."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and asked: "Zhamu, I ask you, those people outside you are not really surrendering to me, so I killed them all, are you really surrendering to me?"
Zhamu said quickly: "Yes, yes, the king's martial arts skills are unparalleled and invincible in the world.
The villain has also seen the world.
Even Tianzhu and the seventy-two kingdoms of the Western Regions have all surrendered under the feet of the king.
What's the matter with Tubo, which is now in chaos?"
strength Competing with the King's invincible cavalry, the villain is absolutely and sincerely surrendering to the King.
The villain swears by the Buddha and is sincerely loyal to the King.
If you talk nonsense and violate the oath, the villain will be thrown into the eighteenth level of hell and will never be reincarnated."
Zhao Ziliang looked at Zhamu and was silent for a while, and then said to him: "Okay, I believe that the more than 300 Tibetan soldiers you captured will be handed over to your command.
You can choose some people from them who are loyal to you."
Help you lead these people , if you serve my king loyally, you will have more soldiers and horses to lead in the future, not to mention glory and wealth.
If you have malicious intentions and bad intentions, I guarantee that you will be better than living on the 18th floor.
Hell is a hundred times more miserable.”
"Yes, yes, thank you, Your Majesty.
The villain dare not, absolutely dare not betray Your Majesty":
