Tibetan Palace.

Lu Dongzan stared at the void motionlessly, his eyes were not focused, and Zan Xiruo, who was standing next to him and rushed to report, had an ugly face, but he didn't dare to disturb and waited patiently.

The plundering of grain and grass made the Tibetan nobles dissatisfied with the royal family, and the water cut made the nobles accustomed to a superior life uneasy.

In the face of such a stalemate, Lu Dongzan, who is very intelligent, is also helpless.

Quiet, the hall is as silent as death.

A depressing aura erupted, making people feel aggrieved and uncomfortable.

After a while, Lu Dongzan suddenly said: "I didn't expect to underestimate the means of the King of Han, looting grain and grass to make the ministers of the court, the nobles lose their profits, if the situation is good, they will be the same enemy with the royal family, and they will be united with the outside world, but the situation is unfavorable, especially the water cut makes them feel the threat of death, and they will inevitably give birth to two hearts, and now the people outside the city are calling, and the military spirit is floating, they will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble and open the city gate to surrender to the King of Han." ”

"Father means to keep an eye on them and guard them to death?" Zan Xiruo asked.

Lu Dongzan said with gloomy eyes: "When the news came out, it was said that this king worked hard day and night to protect the royal city and drive away the king of Han, and occasionally felt cold and fell ill in bed. ”

"Father, what do you want?" If Zan's face changes drastically, controlling the dignitaries and nobles will certainly make all the families and mansions jealous and dare not mess around, but it is a big problem to be appeased afterwards, and they can't all be killed.

"Do so, you go out of the city early tomorrow morning and talk to King Han." Lu Dongzan waved his hand, there is no doubt that he can get to this point, Lu Dongzan is not a soft-hearted person.

"Peace talks? Still is? Zan Xiruo asked.

"Let's explore the Han King's mouth first, and then decide."

"The retainers obey the order!" Zan Xiruo solemnly agreed and hurried away.

"King Han, who are you? How could there be such a clever approach? Lu Dongzan looked at the direction of the gate and muttered to himself, his eyes were deep.

……

It was getting dark.

On the city wall, some soldiers quietly gathered, and while vigilantly looking around, to make sure that they had not attracted attention, a centurion whispered: "Brothers, have all decided? ”

"It's decided, it's a death to stay."

"That's right, it's either death of thirst or death in battle, I haven't drunk water for a day, it's better to fight."

"Come on, it's too late."

Everyone said in a low voice, looking around vigilantly.

The centurion nodded and said: "That's right, I went to see it quietly during the day, the well has dried up, and if you go on like this, you will die of thirst if you don't need to fight, and the person who shouted during the day said that the king of Han agreed to surrender and would not be killed if he went out. ”

Someone immediately handed the rope up.

The centurion took the rope, tied one end in a knot and put it on the wall, threw the other end down, and whispered: "Spread out, as usual, don't be exposed, go down one by one, don't panic." ”

Everyone nodded and dispersed.

The centurion looked around warily, then the cover of the night fell, grabbed the rope and slid down quickly, and when he landed, he ran and rushed forward.

Night is the best cover, and some people on the city wall didn't say anything when they saw it, but moved their minds.

The centurion ran wildly, and after rushing out of the land of an arrow, his heart was settled, and the speed of his feet did not decrease, and he continued to rush forward with a desire for life, and soon saw an army waiting solemnly, and quickly stopped, while shouting: "Don't let go of the arrows, I have come to surrender." ”

A familiar Tibetan language came from the front military formation: "Come here." ”

The centurion was originally worried about the language barrier, but when he heard the familiar Tibetan language, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly rushed forward, carrying his war knife upside down, and took the initiative to hand it in to show his sincerity.

The weapon was taken away, and a Tibetan man stepped forward and said, "Welcome, what's your name?" ”

"Uncle Bantu, it's me, Yongzhen." The centurion shouted in surprise, but he didn't expect to be greeted by an elder of a village, and hurriedly said: "Uncle Bantu, my people will arrive later, all of them are from our village, and when I saw you shouting during the day, I brought my brothers over at night." ”

"Good job, worthy of being the eagle of our village, far-sighted!" The other party praised.

While they were chatting, someone came over to meet them, and with a nervous mood, when they saw that the centurion was fine, and that they were greeted by the familiar Uncle Bantu, their hearts were completely relieved and excited.

The same thing is going on elsewhere at the same time, and many people are fleeing in order to survive.

How can a soldier in a slave kingdom be loyal?

As long as the benefits are enough, hope is seen, and respect is given, you can be persuaded to surrender.

In the tent of the Chinese army, Qin Huaidao received the news that some people had quietly surrendered out of the city at the four city gates, and his heart was full of emotion, the power of fighting the local tyrants and dividing the land was really great, almost incomprehensible, coupled with the water cut, it was difficult for Tubo to be undefeated, and some cities were at his fingertips, so he quickly ordered the army to be on guard overnight to prevent the Tubo dog from jumping over the wall in a hurry.

However, Lu Dongzan was busy pretending to be sick and putting the dignitaries under house arrest and assassinating people with different intentions, so he didn't expect someone to flee overnight, not to mention a sneak attack at night.

An hour later, more than 10,000 Tubo troops who escaped from the city were placed in designated positions and guarded by Luo Tong's army, just in case.

The fleeing people continued, Qin Huaidao stood at the door of the Chinese military tent and listened to the report, looked at the moonlight that got into the dark clouds and smiled-the moonlight is just right tonight!

……

It's dawn.

The red color disperses the night, illuminates the earth, and quietly envelops the Tubo Royal City.

Lu Dongzan woke up, his mood was a little better, and he was better under the service of the princess, and when he walked out of the palace, he saw the Qin Tomb walking around, his face was anxious, and a wave of uneasiness came to his heart, and he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"See Father!" On Qinling hurriedly saluted.

"Excuse me, let's talk, what's the matter with coming over early in the morning?"

On Qinling hesitated, but still said stubbornly: "Father, the son should die, nearly 20,000 soldiers escaped from the city last night, the news has spread, and the army's heart is floating." ”

"What...... What? ”

Lu Dongzan was taken aback, and fled 20,000 in one night, which is a sign of defeat before the battle, and there will definitely be more people to follow suit, and they will already lose without the attack of the Hanzhou army.

Thinking of the consequences of losing, Lu Dongzan was in a hurry, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fainted.

I don't have to pretend now, I'm really sick!

"It's not good, hurry, call the doctor." Lu Dongzan was suddenly in a hurry, and hurriedly went up to pick up Lu Dongzan, pinched the middle of the person, and finally woke the person up after a while.

Lu Dongzan looked at Lun Qinling weakly, his eyes were full of disappointment, and shouted: "Quick, call Zan Xiruo to come over." ”

When Zanxi heard the news, Lu Dongzan had already been sent to the dormitory, and there was a doctor diagnosing him, and he looked anxious, and stepped forward to inquire about the situation, and after learning that 20,000 people had fled, he sighed in his heart - this is the general trend has gone?
