Although no Tibetan cavalry could escape back to Qusanda on the other side of the river, the Tubo people in Qusanda had obviously discovered something unusual in the camp by the river.
They had guessed that the five thousand Tubo cavalry had been wiped out, so after dark There were many Tibetan army patrols along the river.
The Western Qin army's scout battalion, which crossed the river at night, took a lot of risks before they ventured to the other side of the river and sneaked into Qusangda to investigate.
After dinner, Xuan Si and Zheng San reported to Zhao Ziliang the results, battle losses and seizures respectively.
Xuansi reported: "Your Majesty, in today's battle, our army killed 3,300 people and captured more than 1,500 people.
Only more than a hundred Tibetan cavalry took advantage of the chaos to escape in different directions.
Our army lost nine heavy cavalry.
Twelve cavalry and light cavalry lost 12 people, the Tibetan servant army lost more than 420 people, and the Tibetan mercenaries lost 181 people."
Zheng San reported: "Your Majesty, our army has seized more than 4,800 spears, more than 200 scimitar handles, more than 5,000 damaged sheepskin coats, 100 stones of grain, 500 tents, and 2,000 cattle and sheep. long" After hearing this, Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but shook his head and said with a smile: "This Tubo army is too poor.
They don't have any decent weapons and armor.
They are all junk.
Only more than 2,000 cattle and sheep can feed the soldiers."
Forget about a few meals, let’s stop here today.
After arranging the guards, sentries, and patrols, everyone can go to rest.
Come over early tomorrow morning to order some food.”
"yes" After a night of silence, the next day, September 13th, early in the morning, the spies sent by the scout battalion to sneak to Qusangda on the other side of the river came back and immediately came to the Chinese army's tent to report to Zhao Ziliang what they had discovered.
"Report to the king, we have gone over twelve brothers in total, but only six came back.
The remaining six all died in Qu Sangda.
We have almost figured out Qu Sangda's situation and are preparing to withdraw quietly.
They came, but they were attacked inexplicably.
First, the two brothers fell to the ground, twitched, frothy at the mouth, and died soon after.
Then, the two brothers were killed one after another with the daggers of their own people.
If they die, the daggers will automatically unsheath themselves.
This makes the brothers lose all their courage and quickly retreat.
However, they do not want to kill the two brothers in the rear by arrows during the retreat.
They have experienced hundreds of battles, and ordinary arrows cannot hurt them at all, and they are responsible for cutting off the back, and they are extremely vigilant, unless the arrow hits them in an extremely tricky and weird direction."
Zhao Ziliang frowned and asked: "You mean the attacks you have suffered have gone beyond what you can understand."
The scout captain nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhao Ziliang was silent for a moment and said: "Put this matter aside for now.
Tell us about your investigation.
How many troops and population does Qu Sangda have now?"
The scout captain replied: "Back to your Majesty, Qusangda is a large area where the Tubo people live.
There are 30,000 people there.
There are 4,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry left.
The others are old, weak, women and children.
This is Qusangda."
Rough topographic map of Sanda."
After speaking, he took out a roll of paper from his arms and handed it over.
Zhao Ziliang took it, opened it and read it in detail, then put it on the table outside the account and shouted: "Come, come, Master Shankara, please come."
"Yes, Your Majesty" After a while, Shankara came in wearing a monk's robe and short hair, and saluted Zhao Ziliang: "The poor monk pays homage to the king."
"Master, please forgive me."
Zhao Ziliang raised his hand, and then ordered to the left and right: "Come here, please give me a seat for the master."
"Thank you for your courtesy, Your Majesty."
Shankara clasped his hands and sat on the horse carrier brought by the guard.
Zhao Ziliang told the scout captain: "Tell Master Shankara what happened to you in detail.

The more detailed the better."
"Yes, Your Majesty," the scout captain agreed, and immediately eloquently told the details of what happened to him and others.
The scout captain's eloquence was obviously good, and he spoke vividly, making people feel as if they were actually there and had their hair on end.
After the scout captain finished speaking, he stepped back.
Zhao Ziliang waved him to go out to rest, and then said to Shankara: "Master, what do you think about this matter?
Is there a practitioner like the master in Qu Sangda?"
Shankara clasped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, if the scout captain just now did not deliberately lie or exaggerate, Qu Sangda obviously has one or even multiple strangers with spiritual cultivation, but it is obvious that he or they are here My cultivation level is still limited, and the distance I can use my mental power to directly conduct mental attacks or control weapons to attack is very limited.
Otherwise, none of the scouts in this team will be able to escape."
Zhao Ziliang slammed the table and said angrily: "Humph, these strangers are really lawless.
No one can stop them from practicing.
Monks should have the self-discipline and awareness of monks and not care about too many mundane things.
Now they are taking advantage of this."
The king’s warriors were killed by strange magic.
It’s really the master’s fault.
I’m afraid I’ll have to ask the master to take action in this matter.”
Shankara quickly bowed and said: "The poor monk is here to protect the Dharma of the King.
If no strangers use such magic to harm the King or the warriors in the army, the poor monk will naturally not come forward or meddle in others' affairs.
But this person obviously broke the rules of the spiritual world.
This is something that the poor monk will never allow.
Don't worry, the king, I will leave this matter to the poor monk.
However, Qu Sangda's Tibetan soldiers have blocked the river.
The poor monk is weak and unable to forcefully cross the river.
Moreover, he does not know the art of concealment and sneaking.
Crossing the river, please ask your Majesty to send troops to assist."
Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and said: "Master, there is no need to worry, I can only arrange this matter."
At this time, Chen Qing walked in and reported: "Your Majesty, the scout camp has sent people to investigate clearly.
There is a place where you can cross the river forty-five miles away from here.
You need to go seventy or eighty miles downstream to cross the river.
Place"
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and told Chen Qing: "Order the siege camp to cut down trees and prepare to build ships.
The noise should be louder.
In addition, let Zhao Bei and Zhamu lead their troops to cross the river forty-five miles away, and then go along the river.
Next attack Qu Sanda" Chen Qing cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhao Ziliang said to Shankara: "Master, you go with Zhao Bei's army.
I will tell Zhao Bei to reserve time for you.
Before they attack, you have to deal with Qu Sanda's strangers."
Shankara agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty" After the siege camp started cutting down trees to build ships, there was a lot of noise.
The Tibetan army on the other side of the river obviously quickly discovered the situation here.
The number of Tibetan soldiers patrolling and guarding the river increased a lot, and the atmosphere seemed very tense.
Two days later, on September 15th, the siege camp had built twelve ships on the river.
These ships could only be used temporarily.
Because the time was too hasty, the ships were not painted with tung oil, and water would seep after a while.
However, this It was obviously enough for the army to cross the river, but these dozen ships were still too few.
Zhao Ziliang was waiting for news in the camp.
On the one hand, he was waiting for the news that Zhao Bei and Zhamu would lead their troops to cross the river upstream to attack Qusangda.

On the other hand, he was waiting for the news that Xuanyi would lead the 99th Army and the Niboluo Army to attack the Gongtang area. .
Until the early morning of September 16th, thick smoke rose over Qusangda on the other side of the river.
The soldiers of the Western Qin Army who observed this scene reported the news to Zhao Ziliang.
After learning the news, Zhao Ziliang immediately came to the river to observe.
The wind blowing from the north of the Yangtze River was faintly mixed with shouts of death and screams.
Near noon, a large Western Qin flag was finally erected on the other side of the river.
The flag was particularly conspicuous under the constant shaking of the flag bearer.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Ziliang showed a knowing smile and said to the generals and officials: "It seems Zhao Bei and Zhamu have already succeeded.
I want to cross the river to see the situation."
Chen Qing quickly stopped and said: "Your Majesty, it is better to wait for the other side to send someone to report the victory and confirm the news before going there.
There is a strange person in Qu Sangda.
It is not yet known whether Master Shankara has solved this matter.
It is inappropriate for the king to go there rashly.
For the sake of your safety and the future of Western Qin, please think twice."
The generals and officials also tried to dissuade him, mainly because there were strangers on the other side who could attack mentally.
Such attacks were difficult to prevent.
The officials and generals tried to dissuade him.
Zhao Ziliang just gave up his plan to cross the river now and decided to wait for someone from the other side to come over.
Report the battle situation before going there.
After lunch, at noon, someone finally crossed the river in a small boat from the other side of the river.
On board were several soldiers of the Western Qin Army and Shankara.
After the ship docked, a group of people entered the camp's main tent.
A soldier reported to Zhao Ziliang: "Your Majesty, we are the personal soldiers of General Zhao Bei.
General Zhao ordered me to report to your Majesty that our army has captured song Sangda killed more than 2,700 of the enemy, and the remaining 1,200 surrendered, and seized baggage, grain, and countless cattle, sheep, and horses.
It is temporarily impossible to count Qu Sangda.
Only the old, weak, women, and children were left, and they could not pose a threat to our army. ".
Zhao Ziliang told the soldiers: "Go back and tell Zhao Bei that after an hour, I will take a boat to Qusangda and let him prepare."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."
After sending away Zhao Bei's soldiers, Zhao Ziliang looked at Shankara and asked: "Master, how is the situation?
Has the matter been resolved?"
Shankara clasped his hands and said: "Back to the king, the poor monk has lived up to the king's expectations and has successfully solved the matter.
No strangers in Qusangda will pose a threat to the king and the generals of the army."
"Hahaha, good, good, master, it's really extraordinary."
Zhao Ziliang laughed, and then told a eunuch beside him: "Come here, I will reward the master with 200 kilograms of high-quality paper, a purple gold alms bowl, and a Jinlan cassock."
Brahmanism has a large number of industries in Tianzhu.
Not only is it not short of money, it is also quite rich.
People in Tianzhu often offer incense and money.
Some monks and temples are even extremely rich.
Shankara, as a master of Brahman, is naturally not lacking.
Money, but what Zhao Ziliang rewarded was different, and high-quality paper could not be bought in the market.
Purple gold alms bowls and cassocks both required a special official office of the royal family to make them.
Only extraordinary people could win this honor.
Shankara quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty":
