Chapter 4876 The whole world is the enemy
Lun Qinling glared at Bo Lunzanren fiercely: "What promise did the Tang people give you?"

Bolun Zanren was stunned at first, then he jumped up and cried out: "Brother, you are wronging me. I have always respected you and never disobeyed you. How could I covet you and do such a disloyal and unfilial thing? The Tang people promised that as long as we kill Gongri Gongzan and make Tubo fall into chaos and unable to attack the border of the Tang Dynasty, they will give the Gar tribe the greatest support to ensure that we return to Luoshui City! My brother's move is for the long-term consideration of the tribe. I have no selfish motives. Heaven and earth can bear witness to it!"

"Bastard!"

Lun Qinling was so angry that he threw a teacup to the ground and shouted angrily: "Not to mention that your words are simply nonsense, the army only obeys the orders of the commander-in-chief. I have repeatedly warned you not to attack Gongri Gongzan, but you turned a deaf ear to it. Do you really think that military law is just for show? Come, take Bolunzan out with a sword and behead him to set an example for others!"

The guard at the door was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, rushed forward, grabbed Bolunzan's blade and dragged him out.

Lun Qinling has always been strict in military discipline, and military law is as strict as a mountain, and no one dares to disobey...

Bo Lun Zan Ren was frightened at this, and he struggled to push the two guards away, shouting, "Brother, spare my life, I know I was wrong!"

Lun Qinling was furious: "What's the point of admitting your mistakes now? Anyone who disobeys military orders will be executed! Come on, drag this beast out!"

A few more guards came in from outside the door, and they worked together to hold down the powerful Bolun Zan blade. They tied his hands and feet with ropes and carried him out of the door.

Bo Lun Zanren was completely panicked. He struggled, screamed, and begged for mercy.

The officers and soldiers of the clan all rushed over upon hearing the noise. They were shocked upon seeing the situation and they all pleaded with Lun Qinling for mercy.

Lun Qinling's eyes widened with anger, and he said angrily: "I believe you have all heard that Gongri Gongzan was shot and killed by this beast in the battle array. Have you ever thought about the consequences? From now on, the Gar tribe will become the public enemy of the entire Tubo, and the whole world is the enemy on this plateau! This beast disregarded military orders and pushed the Gar tribe into a dangerous place with his own strength, and even worried about the extinction of the tribe. How can we forgive him?"

The officers hurriedly advised: "Although violating military law is unforgivable, they are five generals after all. How can we treat them all the same?"

"The chieftain worked tirelessly for the tribe, forgetting to eat and sleep, and the whole tribe was grateful to him. Even if the five generals made some minor mistakes, no one would hold them accountable."

"The Tibetan prince is a sickly person. Even if he is not shot to death by the five generals today, he may die of illness any day. It's no big deal."

Lun Qinling said angrily: "He was a Tubo prince, a person of the most noble status! Now that he has been shot and killed by this beast, everyone in Tubo, regardless of their position, will accuse our Gar tribe of being disloyal and unjust. The Gar tribe has enemies all over the world, and the disaster of destruction is caused by this man!"

Everyone felt sorry for Bo Lun Zan Ren as he begged for mercy outside the tent. He was the bravest warrior of the Gar tribe, he shed blood but not tears, but now he looked so pitiful.

"General, you are thinking about our tribe, and we are grateful to you. But even if we didn't shoot Gongri Gongzan, aren't we still the public enemy of Tubo? Don't forget that it was the Zamp and those tribes who targeted the great leader that led to our Gar tribe being exiled to the former Tuyuhun land. We have to be sandwiched between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty and face the danger of extermination at any time."

The "big leader" this person was referring to was naturally Lu Dongzan, and these words were unanimously agreed by everyone.

"Although we were forced to start the rebellion by the Tang Dynasty, now that things have come to this, we can only launch a surprise attack on Luoshui City to force the Zamp to abdicate and choose a wise man to rule Tibet. Only in this way can the Gar tribe be saved from danger. Since we are mortal enemies with the Zamp anyway, what does it matter whether we kill Gongri Gongzan or not?"

"That's right, Gongri Gongzan is already dead. How can we kill the fifth general to atone for our crime? It will only make our loved ones sad and our enemies happy. Second General, don't be confused!"

Lun Qinling was hesitant and had a complicated look in his eyes: "But if this happens, there will be no room for maneuver for us, the Zamp, and even all the Tibetan tribes..."

"What the hell is the point of turning around! The battle has come to this point. Luoshui City is in sight and victory is within reach. Life and death are in the hands of fate. There is no need to turn around!"

"Instead of killing the five generals to enforce military law, it is better to let the five generals lead us to capture the city and stronghold, and advance rapidly until we capture Luoshui City!"

Lun Qinling sighed, spread his hands and said: "The reason why I want to kill him is to uphold military law and avoid resentment among the army for his shooting of Gongri Gongzan. Since everyone does not allow me to kill Bolun Zanren, then let it go for now. But the death penalty can be spared, but the living crime cannot be forgiven. He is allowed to charge in front and kill the generals first. If he dares to retreat half a step when encountering the enemy, he will be punished for multiple crimes and will be executed without mercy!"

Everyone was delighted: "Yes, yes, let the five generals charge to the front and not retreat!"

Who doesn't know that Bo Lun Zan Ren is the most courageous, always moving forward bravely and never retreating?

"You guys please leave for now. I still have something to say to this bastard."

"Okay, okay, we will withdraw. Second General, we have something to say, please don't be angry."

After everyone left, Lun Qinling breathed a sigh of relief and drank a sip of water.

He had to pretend to be furious and determined to kill Bolun Zan, so that all the soldiers, whether voluntarily or forced, would come to plead for mercy. This way, the panic caused by the shooting of Gongri Gongzan could be suppressed. Otherwise, the soldiers would be divided and full of resentment, which would inevitably lead to a sharp drop in morale and create hidden dangers.

Now that everyone is speaking with one voice, even if some people are panicking or dissatisfied, they can only hold back and not speak out...

When Bo Lun Zan Ren was released and returned to the tent, he saw his brother with a gloomy face and fierce eyes. He felt uneasy and said with a smile, "I know I was wrong. Please calm down, brother."

Lun Qinling looked at the flattering smile on his brother's face, feeling both pity and anger in his heart, and asked, "What did Zhang Daan tell you?"

Bolun Zanren scratched his head and whispered, "That person said that as long as Gongri Gongzan died, his young son would surely die young, and the Zamp would be cut off. As long as our Gar tribe has the support of the Tang people, we can compete for the Zamp position..."

"You just believed it? How stupid!"

"Why is that stupid?"

Bolun Zanren refused to accept the result and said with his neck stiff, "Although this move will bring endless troubles, how much deterrence will the next Zamp still have? By then, all the Tibetan tribes will rebel. With the support of the Tang people, the five of us brothers will be able to sweep across Tibet. Even if we cannot ascend to the position of Zamp, we can allow our father to return to Luoshui City and become the Grand Councillor again. It won't be a problem to even make the position of the Grand Councillor of Tibet hereditary. Then we brothers will take turns to sit on the throne and pass it on to the next generation. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the Gar tribe could hold the power of Tibet for generations?"

Lun Qinling shook his head and sighed.

It stands to reason that Bo Lun Zan Ren's idea may indeed become a reality, but in the end it can only be a mirage, because the most important point can never be achieved, that is, it must get the unreserved support of the Tang people.

Will the Tang people support the Gar tribe?

Impossible.

Given Pei Xingjian's cunning character, he would only choose another tribe to support so as to form a check and balance with the Gar tribe, to compete with them and further divide the power of Tubo.

Unfortunately, this silly brother dreams of his father becoming the Tibetan king, his brothers becoming "princes" like the Tang emperors, and the Gar tribe becoming the Tibetan masters from generation to generation, multiplying and enjoying long-lasting wealth... However, he has no idea that shooting Gongri Gongzan has already made the Gar tribe forever cut off from the position of king.

Lun Qinling became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He slammed the table hard and said angrily, "The Tang people are treacherous and deceitful!"

*****
Sairu Gongdun retreated all the way south from morning to midnight. He was relieved to see that there were no pursuers behind him. He chose a place sheltered from the wind as his camp, set up the few tents he had, and placed Gongri Gongzan from the carriage into the tent. He found that Gongri Gongzan's face was pale, his eyes were closed, and his body was stiff. He had been dead for a long time.

"Ugh……"

With his beard covered with frost and his face haggard, Serugundun sighed and looked at the heavy snow falling outside the tent. He felt as if he was in an ice cave.

My whole body was cold and everything was black before my eyes.

He asked someone to bring a pen and sheepskin, thought for a while, cut his finger with a dagger, and wrote a letter in blood on the sheepskin, describing in detail how the prince died in battle, and then wrote some words of apology. He had racked his brains to make the words of apology sound more miserable and sad in order to win the Zamp's forgiveness, but in the end he just wrote a few perfunctorily and left it at that.

The only heir was buried in the chaotic army after the defeat of the Sairu tribe. Can we still expect the Zamp to be magnanimous and understanding towards him?

He couldn't even write an excuse. No matter what he said or wrote, how could the Zamp believe it?

No one believed that Bolun Zanren dared to shoot Gongri Gongzan in the chaos, so Gongri Gongzan's death was destined to become an unsolved case. Bolun Zanren was a suspect, and he was just as suspicious as Seru Gongdun...

He called the prince's personal guards over, gave them the letter he had written to take to the Zamp, and then urged these people to take Gongri Gongzan's body and return to Lhasa City overnight without stopping on the way.

After everyone dispersed, Sai Rugongdun went out for a walk wearing a sheepskin coat. Because of the sudden defeat and hasty retreat, almost all the baggage was left behind at Dangla Pass. The only few tents could not accommodate thousands of people. Many soldiers could only sleep on the ground in the snow wrapped in cotton clothes. Although it was cold, the soldiers who had been fleeing for a day were already exhausted. They set up a pot of water boiled in snow carried back by the cook, ate a few mouthfuls of dry food and fell into a deep sleep.

It was a mess and full of misery.

With a heavy heart, Sairugundun went back to his tent and lay down in his clothes, but he tossed and turned and could not fall asleep. The wind outside was getting stronger and stronger, so he got up, lit the oil lamp, took out a piece of sheepskin, wrote a letter, and called his trusted confidants in.

"Take this letter and cross the Dangla Mountains to Hexi. Find Pei Xingjian and give it to him. Be careful. The Gar tribe must not see this letter..."
