I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

He looked around at the remaining people and saw that every member of the Wang family was pale and trembling.

The fear in their eyes had reached its peak, and many of them were so scared that they were pissing and defecating.

"Those few who liked to glare just now are still a bit arrogant. Go ahead and glare."

"This commander doesn't like that look."

Zhang Xianhuai's voice sounded again, without any emotion.

"Yes! Commander!"

After receiving the order, several Jinyiwei immediately took out several small iron spoons from their waists.

Immediately afterwards, shrill screams were heard in the secret room, which made people terrified.

"Wang Yi, right?"

Zhang Xianhuai's gaze fell on Wang Yi again, as if he was looking at a new prey.

"I want to congratulate you! You're on the Jinyiwei's red list! You can enjoy the same treatment as Wang Qizhao. Are you happy?"

Zhang Xianhuai looked at Wang Yi who was kneeling on the ground and shaking constantly. He raised his eyebrows, as if he was quite unhappy with Wang Yi's reaction.

"Wang Yi? Don't you like it?"

Wang Yi wanted to answer but didn't dare to. His lips trembled. He wanted to say something, but found that he was so frightened that he became speechless.

His mind was blank, nothing.

Zhang Xianhuai's expression changed. His face, which originally had a hint of playfulness, gradually became cold, and his eyes seemed to be able to freeze people.

"It seems that you are not very happy. Come here, Li Zui, I want to see a smile on his face."

"Yes! Commander!" The Jinyiwei responded in unison.

"Zanpu, hurry up, that guy is following us again!"

Lu Dongzan's voice became hoarse due to anxiety. In just three months, most of his hair turned white.

Every white hair seems to carry the sorrow of losing a child.

It pierced his heart again and again, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

For three whole days, they had been running for their lives, and the Tang cavalry behind them were chasing them tightly as if they were out to take their lives.

Even the usually resolute Songtsen Gampo was a little desperate at this time.

In the great battle three months ago, Li Jing was like a military god descending to earth, and he wiped out a full 100,000 young and strong men in one battle.

They were the elite of Tubo, their hope and pride. On the battlefield, blood dyed the earth red, and the screams and sounds of fighting seemed to still echo in my ears.

The fall of those 100,000 young and strong men was like pulling out the backbone of Tubo, making the entire country shaky.

Songtsen Gampo fled the battlefield in disgrace with the remaining defeated troops.

They lost their former prestige and fled like stray dogs.

But this blow was undoubtedly devastating to Tubo.

A full 100,000 young and strong men, that’s almost all the young and strong men in Tubo.

With such a huge loss at once, the country's production and defense were paralyzed.

Even if the Tang army ignored them at this time, Tubo would have perished on its own over time due to lack of labor and weak military strength.

After returning from a crushing defeat, Songtsen Gampo had no time to catch his breath.

The people below hurried to report that the Tang army's cavalry had arrived!

This news once again hit their already fragile hearts hard.

At this point, they were no longer able to fight and could only rely on their familiarity with the land to engage in a pursuit battle with the Three Thousand Battalion.

This plateau was the home of the Tibetans, who had lived here for hundreds of years.

The thin air and harsh climate are a natural barrier for outsiders.

In the past, the Tibetans took advantage of the plateau to take the initiative and invade the borders of the Tang Dynasty.

But this time, they were being chased in their hometown. This was an unprecedented humiliation and fear.

……

Qin Ruzhao led the 3,000-strong army that had taken off its armor and pursued Songtsen Gampo's deserters.
