After a Tang army inflicted heavy casualties on the Tibetans in a night-time attack, Songtsen Gampo withdrew. This merely summarizes the struggle between a small nation trying to unify itself and a superpower hyphenating its domination. By the late 660s they had overrun the Tuyuhun, and were in direct contact with Tang territory. The marriage alliance began two decades of peace between the two empires. This is a progressive curriculum, each part building on the one before it. When Songtsen Gampo's marriage overture arrived, Taizong, the second Tang emperor, was battling the Tuyuhun and did not initially respond, but did send the emissary Feng Dexia (馮德遐) to Tibet to establish peaceful relations. The first military conflict between China and Tibet occurred in 638. Then a military strike caused Tibet to become incorporated into the People's Republic of China and later abolishing Tibet's government.
The impact Songtsän Gampo left in Tibetan history is worthy of being identified as the 'incarnation of Avalokiteśvara' and Protector. The peace held for the remainder of the reigns of Taizong and Songtsen Gampo, although Tibet would pose major military threats for most of the rest of the Tang period. When the Tibetan emissary returned to Tibet, he informed Songtsen Gampo, falsely according to Tibetan historical sources, that Taizong was disposed to approve a dynastic marriage but changed his mind after hearing the Tibetans slandered by the Tuyuhun.

Our religion is central to our culture, so is it not fitting that our religious leader should have an abode here in Tibet? It replaces the City-State of Lhasa with Varanasi. [1], Taizong turned the proposal down. Under your reign you threatened the rule of many ancient kingdoms - China and India to name but two. When Emperor Taizong of Tang refused a marriage alliance, the Tibetan emperor Songtsen Gampo sent an army to attack the Chinese frontier city of Songzhou (松州, in modern Sichuan).
Songzhou (Tibetan Sharkok Wylie: shar khog) was thereafter reportedly settled by Tibetans from Ngari and identified in Tibetan geographical writings as part of the expanding Tibetan empire, classified variously as part of Amdo or Kham. The size of his army is given as 100,000 by Tibetan sources and over 200,000 by Chinese sources. The first military conflict between China and Tibet occurred in 638.
