Chapter 212: Secret See An Lushan

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, the Grand Governor" Xiao Wang took his leave. Tri Song Detsen smiled and politely took his leave, and returned to his camp.

But when he entered the camp, the smile on Trisong Detsen's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a look of horror.

Zhang Xuan's murderous intent echoed in his heart, and Trisong Detsen made a rational decision almost instantaneously and absconded back to Tibet overnight. This matter of harmony is over. Although he admires Wanchun's beauty, he is more beautiful and loves the country more, and in terms of the power of the country of Tibet and the safety of his own life, he will not hesitate to choose the latter.

Trisong Detsen is a bold person who makes quick decisions, otherwise he would not have become a famous master of Zhongxing in the history of Tibet.

Originally, Zhang Xuan's plan was to use invisible means to force Chisong Dezan to abscond back to Tubo, thus stirring up this Tang Fan and relatives who should not have happened.

But now, Zhang Xian has changed his mind, and for Trisong Dezan, he even has the idea of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots.

At night, at the time of the third watch.

There was a dead silence in the whole town of Huashang, the camp of the army was empty and silent, and occasionally patrolling soldiers walked by with torches.

Trisong Detsen changed into a black coat, led his horse, and quietly sneaked out of the camp, avoiding the patrolling sentries, leaving the camp, and immediately turned onto the official road.

He did not dare to slack off, and fled in the night on horseback. At dawn, he appeared at a fork in the road.

The left leads to Chang'an City, and the right is the official road to Longzhou.

Trisong Dezan hesitated slightly, and without hesitation, he galloped on the official road to Longzhou, and after he arrived in Longzhou, he could take a shortcut and gallop to Luzhou, from Minzhou to Tibet.

He had already made up his mind that after returning to Tubo, he would immediately tear his face with the Tang Dynasty, and lead tens of thousands of Tubo iron cavalry to attack and harass the Tang Dynasty border, focusing on Longshuo, where Zhang Xuan was about to become a vassal, not to conquer the city, but to rob the grain and grass and plunder the population, and by the way, to make trouble for Zhang Xuan, so as to get out of this evil breath.

Tri Song Detsen was not worried about the outbreak of a frontal war between the two countries. The people of the Tang Dynasty were worried about internal and external troubles, and this would never start the war.

In Chisong Dezan's view, as long as Tubo puts huge pressure on the border of Longshuo in the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Xuan and even the Tang Dynasty court will once again take the initiative to restore peace and obediently send Princess Wanchun to Tubo.

Trisong Dezan turned his horse, stared at the direction of the road, his face was gloomy and his eyes were gloomy, and he sneered lightly, "Zhang Xuan'er, we will definitely meet again." This king must make you restless in Longshuo, thinking that when you arrive in the feudal town, you will be a prince? Okay, this king will let you taste the taste of my Tubo Iron Horse."

"Princess Wanchun, this king is waiting for you in Tibet!"

Tri Song Dezan secretly was ruthless for a while, and was about to turn the horse's head and slip away, when he suddenly found that a fierce military horse suddenly appeared from both sides on the official road not far in front, all of them were cavalry, and the leader was a young general with chalk hair from a concubine of Mu Ying, and Trisong Dezan recognized this person, it was Zhang Xuan's henchman Captain Nan Wuyun.

Trisong Dezan was taken aback and took a few steps back from his horse.

"His Royal Highness Trisong Detsen, the last general has been waiting here for a long time on the orders of the Grand Governor." Nan Wuyun took his bow from behind him for a long time, and raised his hand in praise of Chi Songde with a smile.

Trisong Dezan's face was as earth-colored, and he immediately clamped the horse's belly, turned around and galloped in the direction of Chang'an.

Nanwu Qilang laughed loudly, "Isn't it too rude for Your Highness to say goodbye without saying goodbye?" ”

As he spoke, Nanwuyun took an arrow bow and bow, and with a whoosh, an arrow cut through the sky, and came like lightning, hitting the belly of Chisong Dezan's horse.

The horse was in pain, and its front hooves sprang up suddenly, neighing in sorrow, and with a twist, it overturned the horse with a twist.

"Come on, tie this guy to Ben General." Nan Wuyun waved his hand.

Several soldiers stepped forward, turned over and dismounted, and immediately controlled Trisong Detsen.

Trisong Dezan's face was gloomy and his form was embarrassed, but he did not make a senseless resistance.

Trisong Detsen was captured alive and returned to the camp, but his absconding did not make a wave in the barracks. Except for a few henchmen around Zhang Xuan, no one knew that the Tubo prince had escaped and was captured by Nanwuyun.

Trisong Detsen was quietly sent back to the camp by the Southern Mist Cloud. Zhang Xuan didn't see him, let alone make a noise, nor did he restrict his self-righteousness, but the guards were more dense and he was imprisoned in disguise.

Everything was calm again.

In the morning, the army slowly moved forward and continued to march in the direction of the town of Fanyang Domain.

Tri Song Detsen closed his eyes slightly and rode on his horse, caught in the middle of the marching army, front and back were Zhang Xuan's soldiers. Even if he has the ability to come and go like a flower slave, I'm afraid he won't be able to escape.

At this time, Trisong Dezan knew very well in his heart that he had fallen into a big net carefully woven by Zhang Xuan, and he couldn't stop it. If one is not good, not to mention that his life safety is not guaranteed, even the whole of Tibet may be implicated.

Tri Song Dezan's heart flashed, and he suddenly turned back on the horse to look at Wan Chun's honor guard and Zhang Xuan's command center, which were in the middle of the entire military column, and a trace of wonder flashed in his eyes.

He really couldn't figure out what kind of play Zhang Xuan wanted to play.

He made a detour and delayed again, at most for a month or two, and he still had to rush to Longshuo after all. He is the Tang Fan and personal envoy canonized by the Tang Dynasty, and his responsibility is to protect Princess Wanchun to Tubo, will he openly disobey the orders of the Tang Dynasty?

Unlikely. Trisong Detsen shook his head.

This man was clearly murderous to himself. But he didn't make a big fuss about absconding last night.

In fact, he could have secretly killed himself, and then deduced that he had absconded back to Tibet overnight, and he had taken his responsibilities away.

But Zhang Xuan didn't do that.

This is exactly what Trisong Detsen is puzzled about.

Zhang Xuan took off his armor, changed into official robes, and no longer rode into his luxurious wide carriage, and marched slowly with the army.

Under Feng Changqing's deliberate arrangement, the speed of the army was extremely slow, and the march was less than fifty miles a day. At this rate, it will be at least summer to get to Longshuo.

Hua Nu'er sat on the side of the carriage, and Zhang Xuan sat on the carpet in the middle, but in his hand he was flipping through a book about Tibet. Because it was one of Zhang Xuan's major tasks to defend against Tibet, he made sufficient preparations for this and collected a large number of books and information about Tibet.

He even brought with him a businessman Wu Xian, who had been traveling between Tibet and the Tang Dynasty for many years. Wu Xian is a native of Xiannan Province, who has been going back and forth to Tang Fan for many years, and is doing the business that is extremely risky but extremely profitable. This person speaks fluent Tubo and knows the customs of Tubo, so he can be said to be a Tubo expert.

Even, there was a certain amount of trade with the Tibetan nobles, and a shop was set up in some cities in Tubo.

In this love, Wu Xian knelt respectfully in front of Zhang Xuan.

The carriage was very wide, and it was crowded because it could accommodate three people.

The carriage was slow and steady, with a slight bump. Zhang Xuan put down the scroll in his hand, looked at Wu Xian and smiled lightly, "Mr. Wu Cheng, the official called you, there are a few things I want to ask, but I want to know everything."

"Please ask the governor to command, and the villain will obey." Wu Xian was a little uneasy in his heart.

Before Zhang Xuan's army set out from Chang'an, Zhang Xuan sent someone to find him, asking him to accompany the army, and agreeing that his caravan would follow the army.

But after leaving Chang'an, Wu Xian found that Zhang Xuan had changed his route to Fanyang, and couldn't help but be very disappointed. If he continued like this, when he reached Tibet and it was summer again, his plan to run two caravans this year would be in vain. Because after autumn, the Tibetan Plateau will fall heavily and block the roads, and caravans will not be able to enter at all.

"This Tibetan prince Trisong Detsen has a high prestige in Tibet, right?" Zhang Xuan asked casually.

"Yes, Grand Duke. Qisong Dezan is the prince of Tubo Zanpu who has long been canonized, can fight well, can be civil and martial, is a hero in the hearts of Tubo people, and has the nickname of the eagle of the snow mountain. ”

"Oh." Zhang Xuan sighed, "The king of Tubo has sixteen or seventeen sons, and only Chisong Dezan can inherit the throne?" ”

Wu Xian's eyes rolled secretly, he seemed to taste something else from Zhang Xuan's words, but he was not sure.

"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, there is also some competition for the throne among the princes of Tubo. It's just that Trisong Detsen has the support of the vast majority of Tubo vassals, and there is also the favor of Zhu Dan, so it is difficult for ordinary Tubo princes to pose a threat to him. To swim, "Only the third prince Stanzhu has some power, and he is the nephew of Dong Zebu, a powerful minister of Tibet." ”

Dong Zebu? Zhang Xuan groaned silently, and after a long time, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Wu Xian, his eyes were calm and majestic, "Mr. Wu Xian, this official has something to ask for." ”

The corners of Wu Xian's mouth twitched, and he quickly bowed down and bowed, "The governor of the capital has an order, and the villain doesn't dare to disobey."

"You quickly take your caravan to Tubo and see if you can contact the third prince of Tubo, Stanley," Zhang Xuan's voice was flat and low, "If this matter is done, this official will give you a great fortune." In the meantime, your caravan will be under the care of your officer. The officer can even arrange a position in the army for your sons and nephews to give you a future. ”

Wu Xian was ecstatic, and the corners of his mouth began to tremble because of excitement.

Zhang Xuan is the governor of Longshuo, and his power is soaring, and this land of Longshuo in Hexi will be under his control, and if his caravan in Wuxian has official protection in the future, the business with Tubo will obviously be smoother. What's more, although he has some family wealth, he is a businessman after all, and he has no political status, if his son can be recommended by Zhang Xuan, this will undoubtedly change the identity and origin of Wu Xian's family.

This is a big opportunity today.

"But this official also said ugly things to the front, you must not divulge half a point in this matter, and you must handle it safely. If there is a half-point difference, this official will never spare you. ”

Zhang Xuan's voice suddenly became cold, and Wu Xian bowed respectfully, "", people obey orders" (to be continued.
