Origin and Story of 八攻八克
During the Tang Dynasty, Princess Wencheng married Songtsen Gampo of Tubo.
After Songtsen Gampo's death, his young grandson took the throne, with Prime Minister Lu Dongzan controlling much of the power. Lu Dongzan launched a large-scale attack on Tuyuhun. The Tang army went to suppress them, initially winning but later suffering defeats.
Lou Shide, a man from Yuanwu, Henan, was both wise and brave. He gathered scattered soldiers and engaged in fierce battles with the Tubo army, achieving 'eight attacks, eight victories,' which brought peace to the border thereafter.
