Chapter Eighty-Five: General, Goodbye!

Hearing Lu Chen's inquiry, Long Yan told Lu Chen the reason for the whole thing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis also starts with the Tibetan troops who helped Lin Yuan before, and those Tibetan troops immediately fled when they saw that the momentum was wrong. Lu Chen immediately divided more than 5,000 people at that time, and chased all the way to the valley where Lu Chen had hidden his soldiers before. Those who were hiding on both sides immediately rushed down from the mountain when they saw the Tibetan army coming. Before the Tibetans could react, they had already wiped out nearly a quarter of them. After these people came to their senses, they continued to flee to the borders of Tibet, and the two converging armies pursued them for a long way before they stopped the pursuit.

As for what happened later, it was all Long Yan who heard from the old patriarch that these people fled all the way to the border of Tubo, probably passing through the small valley where the holy city was located. It is said that the leader of the army was very happy to see that a city had been built here, and shouted under the city for the old patriarch to open the city gate, and after being refused, the Tibetan leader was angry and gave the order to attack the city. In his opinion, it was easy for him to break through such a small city.

But it backfired, and before they reached the city, someone had already fallen into a trap and was directly penetrated by the stone thorns underground. Seeing this, the leader could only let his men grope forward while groping, after all, he was not willing to let him give up.

However, the small city's defenses far exceeded his expectations. As soon as I walked through these traps, it was another river, and as for the suspension bridge over the river, the old patriarch had already ordered it to be hung on the city wall.

Looking at the nearby town, the leader exclaimed, "Everyone, swim over to me!" ”

However, as soon as these people entered the water, a scream was heard, and at this moment, there was already an extra row of soldiers on the city wall, and the next moment, more than a hundred arrows were shot at these Tubo people who entered the moat.

Because the river was covered with stone thorns, these people who went down to the river did not dare to dodge quickly. There were many people who watched the arrows in the air shoot at them, and the people who went down to the river became a living target for a while, and they were living targets that they did not dare to move.

Seeing this, the Tibetan army also understood that even if they really took this small city, the losses would be very heavy. Before he got close to the small town, the loss had already exceeded 100, which made him a little unacceptable. Therefore, the Tibetan general could only look at the holy city unwillingly, and then led the army to retreat towards the territory of Tibet.

After listening to Long Yan's statement, Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and then he frowned slightly and said, "Since we have been discovered by them here, the Holy City may be unstable in the future."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, he saw that the old patriarch said very arrogantly, "What are you afraid of, as long as they dare to come, let them have no return!" "After the previous battle, the old patriarch has become very confident, and the Tubo people who robbed them in the previous territory do not seem so terrible now.

They rearranged the traps that had been stepped on, and then, Lu Chen asked Long Yan to arrange the nearly two thousand people he had brought back first, and he walked towards the city.

Lu Chen came to his military tent, and a man was standing inside. This person was Lin Yuan, and when he saw Lu Chen coming, Lin Yuan looked at him with a complicated expression. A few days ago, this boy was still under his command, but he didn't expect that in the end, it was this young man who didn't care about it at the time to ruin his plan.

The two looked at each other for a while, and Lu Chen said calmly, "I sabotaged your plan, do you hate me?" ”

"How can there be hatred or hate, defeat on the battlefield can only blame yourself for not being as good as others, the winner is the king, the loser is the king, this is the truth that has existed since ancient times, why am I unwilling?" When Lin Yuan said these words, his face was very calm, obviously he had seen through it.

At this time, Lu Chen suddenly asked, "If there is no hatred from the Jiang family, will you rebel?" ”

Hearing Lu Chen's words, he saw that a trace of sadness finally appeared on Lin Yuan's face, but it was only a flash, and he said in a slightly heavy tone, "You also know, I have climbed step by step from a small soldier to my current position in the past thirty years, and this is not only because of hatred, I have a special emotion for this bloody military life, and those former companions, I am afraid that there are not many people alive now." I really miss the life when I didn't have to think about anything, and I only had one goal every time I went out - to kill the enemy! Don't talk about it, what's the matter with you asking Long Yan to stop me? ”

Lu Chen smiled slightly and asked, "Do you want to live?" ”

Hearing Lu Chen's words, he saw Lin Yuan say bitterly, "If you can live, who is willing to die?" However, before attacking Minzhou City, I was ready to die, and I knew in my heart that even if I captured this city, it would be impossible to defend it with only 20,000 people in my hands."

"Then why did you still guard Minzhou City at that time?" Lu Chen asked with some confusion.

Hearing this, he saw Lin Yuan smile bitterly and said, "If you don't stay there, what place do you think I can go?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen asked again, "Then would you like to stay with me?" ”

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then said in shock, "You want to keep me?" ”

Lu Chen nodded, and seeing this, Lin Yuan laughed and said, "Don't you know how big my crime is? ”

"I know, but if I don't give it a try, how do you know it's not feasible?"

"Hahaha, don't try, I've figured it out, although I don't want to die either, but I feel very guilty about Datang and His Majesty now, and I don't have the face to go to see Jiannan Jiedu to make him an old man. I don't want to feel guilty about living my whole life. Now I only hope that you will be kind to my two thousand soldiers, can you arrange for me to speak to them?" But Lin Yuan suddenly laughed, as if he didn't care about life and death.

Hearing his words, Lu Chen sighed lightly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I respect your decision, now you can go to your command" Saying that, Lu Chen found Long Yan and asked him to take Lin Yuan to the station of the two thousand people.

Lin Yuan stayed in the station of more than 2,000 people for a long time, and when he was about to leave, these iron-clad men actually shed tears, perhaps this was the first time they had shed tears except for children. Soldiers generally don't cry, even if they are seriously injured on the battlefield, they will endure alone, which makes the vast majority of people think that these iron-clad men will not shed tears. But today these people are crying, they never cry, and they cry to make people feel particularly sad.

However, none of these people stopped them, they respected Lin Yuan's choice, and they also knew that once Lin Yuan's character made a decision, it would be useless for them to stop it.
