The breeze just now was not timed, several Tubo people had been tied up tightly, fell to the ground and shouted words of spare, Lu Zheng came over to look at these Tubo people who were enjoying peace and happiness, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face, this raid can be described as a victory, and a few Tubo soldiers hardly struggled too much, as if catching a turtle in an urn.

At this time, a Tibetan soldier shouted: "Spare your life, general, we are just stragglers, and we have not done anything harmful to the people." ”

Lu Zheng said in surprise: "It turns out that this Tubo person can still speak the Central Plains, so it's just the right time to ask about the enemy's movements." ”

At this time, a Tibetan man was already afraid, so he trembled and said: "As long as the military masters want to ask, I will definitely say, and I hope that after I say it, let us live." ”

Lu Zheng said: "Where is your Tubo country's great treatise (prime minister) Qi Lixu?" ”

"I was still resting in Shanzhou this morning, and now I should have gone to Lanzhou."

Lu Zheng then thought that the inspection of the Tang army soldiers a few days ago was a little negligent, and he only thought about the west, but ignored Lanzhou in front of Weizhou. This Lanzhou was named Jincheng when the Tang Dynasty was founded. Xue Ju, the captain of Jincheng, raised the banner against the Sui and won the first victory with the Tang army, but he did not take a holiday, and after a life, the force finally fell.

At this time, Lu Zheng asked again: "Qili Xu is the main force of your army?" ”

"It is indeed the main force, and this trip to Lanzhou is to besiege the city and conquer the city. Its purpose was to attract the main force of the Tang Army and destroy it in one fell swoop. Among them, there is now an elite army in Di Dao, which is ready to surround the ambush soldiers who were attracted to the Tang army. ”

Lu Zheng said at this time: "Tubo used to be just a small state of Yuer, and I was blessed by the Tang Dynasty and awarded the gift of in-laws, but now Zampu has no virtue and invades my Longyou land, and you are also accomplices." But for the sake of me that you have informed me of Kilish's conspiracy, then forgive you for your crimes. ”

Lu Zheng saw that the time was almost up, so he let these Tubo soldiers go, but Lu Zheng could also expect that there was no hidden danger in these released people. Lu Zheng stepped on his horse at this time and rushed towards Lanzhou, Lu Zheng knew about the conspiracy of the Tubo army to capture Lanzhou at this time, but he had already thought of a countermeasure, and this countermeasure was already about to come out in his heart.

At this time, he said to his entourage: "The two of you go to the Weizhou camp to report the news, explain the enemy's station, and let the army attack Didao first, and then attack the Tubo army in Lanzhou." ”

Di Dao garrison is small, even if it is an elite army, it can't withstand the blow of the Tang army, so after breaking its wings, the Tubo army in Lanzhou will be better wiped out. And from the words of those captured soldiers, Lu Zheng could also see that the Tubo soldiers were not in harmony, and they completely told the army's deeds in just a few words.

Lu Zheng rode his horse and galloped wildly, and finally gradually saw the camp tent of the Tubo army near Lanzhou, and before approaching, Lu Zheng and the others changed into the clothes of the prepared Tubo army in order to blend into the enemy camp. Until they walked into the camp tent of the enemy army, because of the cover of the clothes of the Tibetan soldiers, Lu Zheng and others did not make the Tibetan guards suspicious.

Lu Zheng kept groping for Qilixu's big tent in the enemy camp, and he estimated that at this moment, Xue Ne and other generals had already attacked Di Dao. And as long as he touches the tent of Qilixu, guards his side, and when the army arrives, the inside and outside correspond, and he will be able to end the confrontation in one go.

At this time, when Lu Zheng saw the largest gold-domed camp tent in the distance, two soldiers came out of it, and the two of them spoke noisily, but Lu Zheng heard it clearly, and one of them said: "If you can take Lanzhou today, everyone in the army can be rewarded with five taels." ”

"But it's not, the army has been scattered in all directions recently, and almost all of them don't have much combat effectiveness, if we capture Lanzhou this time, our army will be able to take the initiative." The other soldier said confidently.

At this time, Lu Zheng hurriedly walked up and said, "Dare to ask where the two brothers are going?" ”

At this time, one of the Tibetan soldiers said: "This brother may not know, now that the siege is imminent, the commander wants us to gather all the generals in the army to decide on the siege strategy in the big tent, and the entire Lanzhou City is estimated to fall by the next day." ”

This Tubo soldier seems to be proud, and Lu Zheng thinks in his heart that he is a barbarian Tubo and his ambition is not small, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Lanzhou City, if Tubo forcibly attacks the city, then even if it is captured, it will break its arm. As soon as the Tang army arrived, the Tubo army had only one lonely city, and it would be surrounded and annihilated.

After hearing this, Lu Zheng watched the two soldiers disappear in front of him, Lu Zheng continued to walk forward, walked outside the big tent, opened the curtains, and inside Qi Lixu was watching the dance of Hu Nu, and the other generals were also sitting, looking immersed in it.

Lu Zheng took a closer look at Qi Lixu's appearance, the prime minister of the Tubo country, if he can catch it, it will be a miracle, and he can't help but become famous in the army, and if it is spread to Gyeonggi, it is very likely that he will worship the marquis.

At this time, Qi Lixu said in the tent: "I have received Zampu's order, which orders us to seize Lanzhou, and if there is any mistake in my big theory, we must also be held accountable." ”

"It's not a problem to take Lanzhou, please give me 5,000 elite soldiers, and I will be able to break through the city tonight."

A young general said, and Qi Li Xu waved his hand, and said: "Although Zampu said this, many ministers now have the intention of retreating, and I will fight a decisive battle, and it took a long time for Zampu to decide not to withdraw the army first, in order to see the after-effects." ”

"What, to see the aftermath? Our Tibetan army is about to lead the Tang army into an ambush circle, and such a God-given opportunity must not be stopped. ”

So all the generals shouted, and after a long time, they said: "Don't shout, everyone, this general plan will not change, but you are also fully prepared, and you must not let the enemy have a loophole." Tonight, all the generals besieged the four gates of Lanzhou, and they must break the city at dawn. ”

Lu Zheng saw that it was almost over, and left the tent, as night fell, the Tubo army had begun to mobilize its troops, and the vanguard troops were staring at all the gates of Lanzhou, and the whole situation was tense.

Lu Zheng and his entourage gathered together, watching the situation in front of them, on the entire city tower of Lanzhou City, except for the lights on the city tower, there was no other light, and the soldiers on the city tower also pulled their bows and crossbows against the Tubo army.

Lu Zheng felt that there might be some precautions in Lanzhou City, and at this time he moved his gaze to the Tubo army besieging the city in front, the soldiers were holding sharp swords, full of iron armor, and there was murderous aura in their eyes. Lu Zheng and the others did not make a sound, quietly waiting for the battle to begin, and also waiting for the arrival of the main force of the Tang Army.

The gate of Lanzhou City was closed, and the weather was cold and frosty at this time, and the war horses of the Tubo cavalry were also neighing, as if they could not bear the temperature, and the Tubo soldiers were also wearing cotton clothes, and the hands holding knives also felt cold. At night there was no clear moonlight, only torches in front of the army, which illuminated all the faces
