The slave owners were merciless to them and drove them non-stop. If they slacked off, they would be mercilessly whipped and insulted.

The bodies of the serfs were covered with scars, both old and new. The shocking whip marks seemed to be the mark of their tragic fate that could never be erased.

They were starving and could only get a pitiful amount of food every day, just enough to maintain their most basic vital signs and not collapse from the heavy work.

The rough food was hard to swallow, but they had no choice but to swallow it despite hunger and pain.

In the eyes of slave owners, they were not human beings at all, but tools that could be driven and abused at will.

The slave owners physically assaulted and insulted them, with no regard for their dignity and feelings.

Serfs had no rights or freedoms. Their lives were as insignificant as grass and could be taken away at any time.

However, when they learned of the arrival of the Tang army and felt the goodwill of the Tang army, a glimmer of hope gradually ignited in their hearts.

They seemed to see the possibility of escaping from suffering, and decided to flee this city full of suffering and strife.

Although the road ahead is full of unknowns, they carry with them a yearning for freedom and a better life, and resolutely embark on the road of escape to pursue the light of hope that may change their destiny.

Group after group of serfs carefully passed through the narrow streets, avoided the chaotic battlefield, and fled out of the city.

When they finally stepped out of the city gate, what they saw were the neat and orderly formations and friendly smiles of the Tang Dynasty soldiers.

The Tang Dynasty soldiers had already made full preparations to welcome these suffering people.

The serfs were frightened and uneasy at first, but the enthusiasm and care of the Tang soldiers gradually calmed them down.

The soldiers provided them with warm food, clean water, and a comfortable place to rest.

In addition to the serfs in the city, the more serfs in the surrounding grasslands are the ones that really need to be addressed.

But Li Chengqian couldn't take care of everyone now, he had to take over Lhasa City first.

After a short rest and adjustment, the Tang Dynasty began to reorganize the serfs.

The soldiers patiently explained the policies and systems of the Tang Dynasty to the serfs and told them that they would be treated equally and fairly.

The light of hope gradually ignited in the eyes of the serfs, and they began to actively cooperate with the reorganization work.

Some young and strong serfs expressed their willingness to serve the Tang Dynasty and help it maintain order in the city.

The Tang Dynasty soldiers made reasonable grouping arrangements based on the serfs' specialties and abilities.

Some serfs were assigned to the logistics team to help prepare supplies and build temporary shelters;

Some of them participated in intelligence gathering and provided the Tang Dynasty with information about the situation in the city.

In this process, the serfs felt unprecedented respect and attention, and their trust in the Tang Dynasty also deepened.

In an open area outside the city of Lhasa, the Tang soldiers were methodically carrying out the reorganization of the serfs.

The sunshine shining on this land did not dispel the long-standing haze in the hearts of the serfs. There was still a bit of fear and confusion in their eyes, but at the same time there was also a glimmer of expectation for the unknown.

The officers of the Tang Dynasty stood in the front and explained the purpose and significance of the reorganization to the serfs in a loud and gentle voice.

"My fellow countrymen, from now on, you will have a new life. We, the Tang army, are here to liberate you and free you from suffering.

The current reorganization is to allow everyone to better unite and build a better future together.”

Their words were like a warm current, flowing slowly into the hearts of the serfs, relaxing their tense nerves a little.

The first step is registration, and the name, age, specialties and other information of each serf are carefully recorded.

The Tang soldiers patiently communicated with the serfs, and although there might be some language barriers, they tried to ensure the accuracy of the information through gestures and simple vocabulary.

Some literate soldiers wrote seriously, and what flowed from their pens were not just characters, but the beginning of hope for the serfs to move towards a new life.

The next step is to group the serfs according to their physical condition and skills.

Serfs who were physically strong and had certain combat experience were selected to form a self-defense force.

Datang instructors began to give them preliminary military training, teaching them how to use simple weapons for self-defense, as well as basic combat formations and tactics.

The instructors were strict but patient. They demonstrated every movement themselves and explained it repeatedly until the serfs could master it.

Although the serfs were unfamiliar with the movements at first, they learned very seriously and their eyes revealed their desire to control their own destiny.

Those serfs who were good at handicrafts were assigned to the logistics support group, responsible for making and repairing the army's equipment, clothing, etc.

The craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty worked with them and taught them more advanced production techniques and crafts. The serfs sat together, studying attentively, with the tools in their hands shining in the sun, as if they were weaving a beautiful picture of future life.

Another part of the serfs were assigned to agricultural production groups to provide food for the army and future urban life.

Datang's agricultural experts introduced them to new planting techniques and irrigation methods, and led them to reclaim wasteland and sow the seeds of hope.

The serfs looked at the newly turned land, as if they saw a future harvest, and long-lost smiles gradually appeared on their faces.

During the reorganization process, the Tang Dynasty soldiers were always concerned about the living and psychological conditions of the serfs.

They provided the serfs with sufficient food and clean drinking water to ensure that they were well fed and had enough physical strength to adapt to their new lives.

At the same time, some cultural activities and exchange meetings were organized to help serfs better understand the culture and system of the Tang Dynasty and enhance mutual trust and understanding.

After a period of reorganization, the serfs gradually adapted to their new pace of life and roles.

They are no longer isolated, helpless and oppressed individuals, but have become an organized and goal-oriented group.

Under the banner of the Tang Dynasty, they found a sense of belonging and hope, and their hearts were filled with longing for future life.

They know that the road ahead may still be full of challenges, but with the support of Datang and their own efforts, they will be able to walk out of the darkness of the past and move towards a bright future.

At this moment, the fate of the city of Lhasa was quietly changing with the reorganization and rebirth of the serfs, and a new era was about to begin.
