Chapter 485: The Greatest Danger Comes from Within

"What did you say?" Lu Dongzan was like being hit in the chest with a heavy hammer, he grabbed the scout who came to report the news, there was no longer the elegance and calmness in his eyes, and the hideous face made the scout afraid: "None of our 300,000 people ran out, this is so possible, how is this possible?" ”

The more Lu Dongzan said, the more crazy he became: "Three hundred thousand, how can they get it, aren't they afraid of retribution?" There are only a few people in our plateau grassland, and so many people died at one time, how can I go back and explain to Zampu... They burst into tears.

On Qinling was more sober than his father, although he was also shocked, but after all, he said to the scout: "Is your news correct, so many people Tang Jun can't kill them all!" ”

"The Tang Army, they didn't use manpower, they blew up the mountain pass, and everyone was blocked there. They can't advance or retreat, and then they burn with that fire, and that fire doesn't know what it's made of, and as long as it gets on people, they can't get rid of it, and when they get on fire, people run around and pass one by one... The scout's eyes were also full of tears: "That scene was so miserable, the whole mountain pass was crying and shaking the sky, but the Tang army was not moved at all, they just surrounded the mountain, and if someone rushed up, they stabbed them with arrows and spears, and when there were many people, they used grenades to blow up... ”

Everyone present was stunned, if it weren't for being so cruel, we had only killed so many thousands of people, so we would have retaliated so viciously.

At this time, their only thought was to hurry away, if they were caught up by the Tang army, it would be over.

Seeing that the guards who were following him were all panicked, their morale had long since begun to know to what extent they had collapsed, and their current thoughts were eager to tie themselves to their horses and go directly back to the plateau, and now pray that the Tang Army on the plateau would not come.

How did the situation come to this?

Why is it so simple to believe that the two powers can join forces to wipe out the Tang Army, even if you have firearms but the road is far away, where is it convenient for us to fight on the spot?

Now that Tubo has died, more than 100,000 young people have died, and where is it that they are so worthless. The future of Tibet is gone, and now Lu Dongzan can already imagine what will happen to Songtsen Gampo without the support of the army?

Knowing that the Tang army had firearms, and the military was at its peak, it had already suffered losses in Songzhou, and now it was still bewitched by the Turks, and he was greedy for merit, but he forgot a sentence: he wanted to eat donkey meat and die in front of the donkey.

When those nobles who have contact with the Tang Dynasty know that the Tang Army is such a powerful army, they will definitely throw themselves into the arms of the Tang Army, hugging their thighs and shouting: Local tyrants, let's be friends!

"Ahh

The more Lu Dongzan thought about it, the more he hated, the kind of regret entangled in his heart, he fell into deep self-blame, and then his mouth was sweet, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fell straight down.

"Father!"

"Great Phase!"

The soldiers of Tan Qinling and Lu Dongzan hurriedly stepped forward to support him to prevent him from falling to the ground, and they were also shouting desperately. Everyone gathered around Lu Dongzan and looked at him nervously.

The Tibetan army is not the Tang army, and there is no doctor with the army at all. Now that Lu Dongzan has passed out, everyone is helpless, or Qin Ling is desperately pressing him, and after a while, Lu Dongzan woke up leisurely.

Lu Dongzan's face did not have a trace of blood, his face was like gold paper, his eyes looked at the sky blankly, and his chest was red with blood, he was an old man who was about to die, where was there still a little personable image of a wise man.

His chest fluctuated violently, and his breath was short, as if he could return to heaven at any moment. On Qinling looked at him and said softly, "Father, how are you feeling now?" ”

"Now... Where did the Tang army go? Lu Dongzan coughed a few times and asked.

"Back to the Prime Minister, the Tang Army can't spare his hands to pursue us now... And after the mountain pass collapsed, they couldn't get over for the time being. ”

"That's good, that's good. Finally give us some time to fix ... Lu Dongzan's heart was like ashes: "Don't care about my body, now everyone gets on the horse and rushes back to Lhasa." This news must be kept secret, otherwise Tibet will be torn apart... ”

He gasped and said, "Can you promise not to leak out?" ”

All the guards had red eyes, patted their chests and said, "Don't worry, we won't say it." ”

On Qinling said: "Father, don't worry, we'll leave now." We have made a stretcher out of a tent, and we will definitely bring you back to Lhasa no matter what. As long as we stay on the plateau and don't come down, the Tang army will progress and give us a few years of rest and recuperation, and then we will come to take revenge! ”

"Yes, Daxiang, we believe in you, as long as you are well, you will still have a chance!"

Everyone comforted Lu Dongzan with a lot of gossip, and they wanted him to relax more.

Lu Dongzan shook his head and said: "Today is not an ordinary defeat, now the Tang army has the power of firearms, we can't beat them anymore, now we immediately go back to Lhasa, let Zampu hurry up to write a surrender letter, the Central Plains Son of Heaven has always been good-looking, as long as we say words sincerely, and then send gifts, they will generally forgive, and besides, they can't come up to this plateau, and it is estimated that they will push the boat down the river." ”

On Qinling's young heart was still unconvinced: "Father, don't raise the morale of others to destroy your own prestige, even if the Tang Army has firearms, as long as he comes up to talk about the bitter cold of this plateau, he may not be able to use it, we have no worries about retreating anyway, what are we afraid of, why do we have to surrender?" ”

Looking at his son's young and flying face, Lu Dongzan stared into his eyes and said, "Do you think the biggest crisis now is Datang?" No, our biggest crisis now is our own aristocrats, they are not convinced by our leaders, they have only been beaten down in the past few years, on the surface respectful, now that we know that so many people have been killed and injured, they will definitely rise up in groups, maybe Tubo will disappear from now on! ”

When he heard his father's words, he was shocked in his heart, he always thought that the people of Tubo were united around Songtsen Gampo, and everyone worked together to govern Tubo well, but now Lu Dongzan's words told the cruel truth.

He has been conceited and smart since he was a child, and he has never forgotten it, he can say domestic things in an orderly manner, and the domestic nobles are very sought after him, but his age is just a son-in-law here, and he has been pampered since he was a child, and what he lacks is the understanding of the most grassroots.

"Father, I... What Qin Ling wanted to say was stopped by Lu Dongzan: "Don't say anything now, hurry up!" ”

Everyone lifted Lu Dongzan and began to trek, which was still more than a thousand miles away from Lhasa, and it would take a long time to walk. But fortunately, the Tang Army can't come for the time being, and without the chasing soldiers behind, everyone's mood can be relaxed.
