Chapter Twenty-Three: The Sneak Attack Plan

"Great Lord Omar, our spies have noticed that there are many Tang troops around Lhasa City, and the other party seems to be not good, and the spies we sent out to explore the wind have not returned in three batches, and your subordinates think that I am afraid that those eastern heretics have imprisoned our warriors, you see, should we teach those Tang people another lesson."

In a castle made of stone pillars, a bearded man in silver armor knelt on one knee in the corridor of the main hall, and said in a somewhat indignant voice.

A pair of big hands stroked the throne of the main hall, and a lazy voice came from the throne, "It seems that this Tang, who is known as the first powerful country in the East, wants to challenge the apostle of Allah." ”

"Yes! Lord Omar, there is a team of spies who are lucky enough to come back to report that the strength of those Tang people seems to be tens of thousands, I am afraid that this time the Tang Kingdom wants to start a decisive battle with us here. The bearded man said worriedly.

Fingers gently stroked the brown bear skin on the armrest of the throne, "By the way, I remember a Tubo man who escaped from the Tibetan country, what is that guy's name?" ”

"Honorable Lord Omar, his name is Lu Dongzan, and he is the great minister of Tubo who was destroyed."

"Well, bring him to me, I have something to ask him."

A small skylight, Lu Dongzan had been staring at it for several hours, and he felt like he was a walking corpse now, not knowing what to do.

The Tang Dynasty seems to have risen overnight, and since the World Games, Lu Dongzan has felt that the gap in strength between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty is getting more and more wide, as if it is the inner of that empire. There are big invisible hands. It is constantly promoting the development of all walks of life.

Lu Dongzan has paid attention to the country of Datang for a long time. He has served as a feudal envoy for more than ten years, and has traveled back and forth from Tubo to Chang'an more than 30 times as an envoy, so he has always seen the changes in the Tang Dynasty.

When the Tang Dynasty was first founded, Lu Dongzan heard about the turmoil in the Tang Dynasty from the ears of some businessmen, and at that time, he and the then Nanri Songtsan discussed whether to establish contact with the country, and finally decided to give up. Because a new regime does not guarantee the longevity of its rule, Tubo has experienced the construction of 23 generations of Songtsam, and is already one of the largest countries on the high mountain, and still has a certain contempt for the Tang regime that has just ascended the throne.

However, with the passage of time, the emperor of the Tang State quickly quelled the rebellion in the Central Plains, and also included all the rebel armies under his command, so that the world in the Central Plains suddenly stabilized, and the people recuperated. The withered people's livelihood began to slowly recover.

At that time, Lu Dongzan sensed this quiet threat. Even if the Central Plains has been fighting for many years, after all, the land is fertile and the population is large, as long as you can cultivate with peace of mind for many years, it is inevitable that you will grow into a powerful empire.

However, this trace of vigilance can not make Tubo vigilant, and then Tubo fell into a civil strife, Songtsan was killed in the south, the queen and various ethnic groups tried to subvert the regime, Songtsen Gampo became the next Songtsam, and set out to eradicate a series of political enemies, although in the end Songtsan Gampo succeeded, but Tubo also stagnated for several years, in these years, the Central Plains has changed an emperor, that is, the current Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

In fact, Lu Dongzan is very envious and admires Li Shimin, every time he goes to the Tang Dynasty and talks to Li Shimin in the main hall of the Tang Dynasty, Lu Dongzan can feel the powerful aura and power of the emperor from the dialogue between the lines, although this aura is also on Songtsen Gampo, but compared with Li Shimin, it seems a little dwarfed.

Songtsen Gampo is indeed not mistaken, Li Shimin is indeed called the first emperor of the ages, under his command, gathered a large number of capable military generals, each of whom is famous, he actively admonished, good at employing people, and soon shaped the Tang State into a powerful empire.

With the end of the Wanbang Games, Songtsen Gampo was determined to build a building comparable to the Tang Wanbang Sports Field, so the construction of the Potala Palace began, which also became one of the reasons for the demise of Tubo.

Next, the two countries entered the stage of confrontation, and the Tang Shuai sent troops first, and to the surprise of Songtsen Gampo, many Tang soldiers did not have the alpine sickness that they would have in the past after climbing the plateau, and their bodies were abundant and unstoppable.

In the first battle of Dafeichuan, the weapons used by the Tang army, many Tubo warriors have never even seen it, the raging fire, the deafening explosion, and the constant threat of death, like a sharp sword hanging above the heads of all the Tubo warriors, so where the Tang army passed, the Tubo army was defeated by the whole army, and it was impossible to form an effective resistance, and even in the end, those Tubo warriors would tremble when they heard the name of a group in the Tang army, called 'Chengguan Garrison', and then fled with their armor thrown away.

The speed of the Tang army's advance was beyond Lu Dongzan's imagination, in the Potala Palace, only five days later, Songtsen Gampo and Lu Dongzan heard the news that the Tang army was approaching the city, Songtsen Gampo decided to die to apologize to his ancestors, and finally killed himself in the main hall of the Potala Palace, and he fled to Central Asia with a group of merchants.

After a long journey of more than half a month, Lu Dongzan finally arrived in the countries of Central Asia, he relied on a strong memory, learned a lot of the language of the Great Food, and after repeated requests, he met the king of the Great Food Country, Omar I.

But Da Shi and Tubo made the same mistake, from the meeting, Lu Dongzan sensed that Omar's attitude towards the Tang Dynasty was also very contemptuous, which made Lu Dongzan fall into despair, if you can't resist the attack of the Tang army with all your strength, the Tang army will tear you apart like a beast.

Looking at the skylight overhead, Lu Dong sighed in admiration, he really didn't know who could stop the pace of the Tang Empire's conquest, maybe one day, that empire would unify all the lands in the world

"Prime Minister Lu Dongzan, the great Lord Omar, please go to the main hall to meet." A herald knocked on the door, interrupting Lu Dongzan's thoughts

"Honorable Lord Omar, the Great Minister of Tubo Lu Dongzan has been brought."

"Well, you can go down."

Lu Dongzan stared at the middle-aged man lying lazily on the throne, bowed slightly and said humbly: "I don't know what the honorable Lord Omar has to call us and others. ”

The middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes on the throne smiled slightly: "The Tang people dare to gather soldiers in Lhasa City without their strength, and want to blaspheme the apostles of Allah, this crime of contempt for the gods must be severely punished, I plan to teach them a lesson, sneak attack them once, you are the great minister of Tubo, and you know the terrain of Tubo very well, so I want to ask you if you have any good JianyΓ¬." ”
