Chapter 1009: Tragic Hero
The border army captured not only Lu Dongzan, but also 3,000 remnants.
This is a real "remnant" soldier, and the damage caused by the primitive way of fighting is just as great, and those who follow Lu Dongzan are all Tubo soldiers with missing arms and legs.
After only a few years of attacking Tianzhu, Lu Dongzan was blackened by the sun, and he thought about it to the end, and tortured the originally bear-like man into a monkey. Around his neck, a fox tail was tied, which he himself requested.
Knowing his thoughts, Tubo couldn't withstand the pressure, left the plateau where he depended, and abandoned the ancestral land, which was enough to shame Jiuquan. It was completely impossible for Xiao Zampu to bear such a sin, so he simply became a villain.
Now that he has appeared here, it can only mean that the Tubo regime has gained a firm foothold in Tianzhu, and there is no need for him to continue to be a regent.
The shackles still couldn't lock Lu Dongzan's heroic temperament, and he arched his hand and smiled: "I haven't seen you for many years, but the Lord of the Protector is still in good spirits, I can't imagine that in this Lingnan land, I can still see the old people of Chang'an, for me, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing." ”
Originally, the border army should have sent them to Chang'an en masse, or handed them over to the local assassin to ask the imperial court to decide, but since King Xiaoyao was in Gaozhou, they felt that it would be good to send them here.
ordered someone to bring tables, chairs, and wine, and asked the soldiers to untie Lu Dongzan's shackles, and then Leng Feng invited Lu Dongzan to drink together.
Heroes have to be respected, and for Tubo, Lu Dongzan and Shuzhong Zhuge are almost the same, they are both exhausting characters. It's just that Zhuge left his posthumous name, but Lu Dongzan only left an infamy.
I don't know when this grievance will be revealed.
After untying the shackles, Lu Dongzan moved his shoulders for a while before sitting down, and he drank a whole pot of Lingnan's rice wine in one gulp.
Li Jiyuan looked curiously at the savage-like embarrassed person in front of him, and couldn't understand why Shigong treated him as an equal. However, since Shigong did this, it can only mean that this is a character, so he stood by Leng Feng's side, ready to meet this person.
After drinking all the wine, Lu Dongzan smiled embarrassedly: "Let the protector laugh, I have been fighting in Tianzhu for many years, and I have never been drunk, and I have suffered a lot on the way I was locked, and I was rude for a while." ”
Before Leng Feng could speak, Wuli Sima of the Lingnan Fleet, who was in charge of recording the conversation between the two, said: "Lu Dongzan, now in front of you is the King of Xiaoyao, and the Duke of Protector is already the previous title!" ”
Hearing this, Lu Dongzan was a little surprised, he couldn't understand why such a powerful country as the Tang Dynasty had a king with a different surname. One of the reasons why he was convicted was to establish himself as the regent, which gave little Zampu an excuse to ask for his guilt.
Leng Feng smiled: "The King of Freedom is the King of Freedom, anyway, it's just an indifferent name." Lu Dongzan, I see that you are leading all the remnants of the army, could it be that you are going to lead them from Nanzhao into the Tang Dynasty and take Shu to enter the plateau? ”
If you want to enter the plateau from Tianzhu, you have to walk like this, which is what they used to do when they left, and other than that, there are only two roads left to climb over the snow-capped mountains or take the north courtyard around a big circle.
Lu Dongzan didn't hide it: "That's right, I just want to take these people back to the plateau." I originally wanted to pass through the land of the Tang Kingdom as carefully as possible, but I didn't expect to be caught by the border army not long after entering. In the final analysis, we are all forbidden, and I only ask Datang to blame me alone, and not to be like these wounded soldiers. They have lost the ability to fight, and it is good to be able to die with a crippled body. ”
Originally, the hero of the plateau was like an old man in his last years at this time, although his temperament was still there, but the words that came out of his mouth were already soft.
The hero will not bend unless there is something behind him that is worth his bending. In the face of the dragon-like Tang Dynasty, Lu Dongzan would not bend down, even if he died in battle, he would laugh and die under the explosion of thunder bombs. However, when there was still a little Zampu behind him, he could only bend down and humiliatingly lead the elite clansmen on an expedition to Tianzhu. In the face of Leng Feng, he would not bend down, but when there were thousands of remnants behind him, he could only say weak words.
Looking at those remnants, Leng Feng sighed: "It's not a problem to let them go back to the plateau, after all, it was the Tianzhu people who hurt them, not the Datang people, and it won't affect the Datang pacification policy." It's you, Lu Dongzan, the sins of tens of thousands of undead in Gaochang are still wrapped around you, to be honest, if it weren't for the fact that you were a Tubo minister, killing you Tubo would be a mess, and I would have killed you a long time ago.
Tell me, you should think about how you will be dealt with, why do you want to get into the tiger's mouth? ”
Lu Dongzan looked in the direction of the northwest, with tears in his eyes: "The battle of Tianzhu is going well, and those weak Tianzhu people are not the opponents of the Tubo warriors. Seriously, I didn't expect that the attack on Tianzhu and the raiding of the territory would be so smooth, but in just a few years, we got enough land to settle down. The land of Tianzhu is very suitable for cultivation and is much richer than that of the plateau. The climate there is also much better than that of the plateau. However, every time I wake up in the middle of the night, all I think of is the vast snow-capped mountains, cattle and sheep everywhere, and the attractive barley.
Tianzhu is a good place, but it is not the place where I buried my bones in my dreams. King Xiaoyao, I know that I have a lot of blood debts on my body, and my life can be handed over to Datang, no matter what kind of punishment I receive, I have no complaints. However, I ask you to send my bones back to the plateau, and for this reason, these remnants will cooperate with your Tang Dynasty to pacify the remnants after returning to the plateau. ”
Leng Feng found it difficult to refuse Lu Dongzan's request, although the strong tribes of Tubo followed Xiao Zanpu to Tianzhu, but the remaining tribes were very disdainful of the appeasement of the Tang Dynasty. Although they cooperated and expressed their obedience and did not gather to make trouble, they ignored some of the requests of the Tang officials, obviously for their good, but they just couldn't listen to them.
If these remnants take the lead, it should be much smoother!
Seeing Lu Dongzan's expectant gaze, Leng Feng said helplessly: "Don't expect to get any promises from me, although I have been promoted to a prince, I have also withdrawn from politics and am now an idler." For your disposition, I can only write a letter back to Chang'an as it is, and how to deal with you should be a headache for the imperial court. However, these remnants, I can ask Feng Zhidai, Li Tai, Li Ke, and the three of them to intercede. With the three of them as a guarantee, it is estimated that no one will object. ”
Lu Dongzan knew that this was already a good result. Since deciding to go back to the plateau, he never thought that he would get a good end. As long as these remnants are safely returned to the plateau, his sins will be many, much less.
