The desertion of the three or five is not enough to worry about, and the large-scale flight means that the soldiers have no will to fight, and they will have no will to fight.

It also means that even if the defenders find someone fleeing, they are unwilling to warn, but cover, acquiesce, and imitate, and escape has become a general trend, how can this battle be fought?

"Eldest brother, the second brother is incompetent, I ......" On Qinling's heart, he couldn't say it.

Zanxiruo patted Qinling on the shoulder, and said with a wry smile: "It's no wonder you, the army's heart is floating, everyone is fleeing, it is a national policy in addition to the problem, not the fault of the war, the court has always paid no attention to slaves, the nobles are high, above the slaves to kill and take away, and now the slaves are bewitched to leave, who can stop them?" can't stop it, it's just that the court usually doesn't show favor and doesn't pay attention to it. ”

"Well said, but it's too late." Lu Dongzan stood up and agreed, his face as pale as paper.

"See Father!" The brothers hurriedly saluted.

Lu Dongzan waved his hand and continued: "The defeat of Tubo, the defeat is not as good as the Han King in vision, and the defeat is not advanced enough, when the king went to the Tang State as an envoy, he saw that the Tang King vigorously promoted farming, attached importance to the people, canceled the slave trade, and suppressed the aristocratic family, and disdained it at the time, but now it seems that the king is short-sighted, and the Han king has done it more absolutely, more ruthlessly, and more thoroughly, and the defeat of Tubo is not unjust. ”

"Father, you have a good rest!" Zan Xiruo hurriedly persuaded.

Lu Dongzan shook his head, and said with a solemn gaze: "Get out of the city quickly, as long as Tubo does not die, everything is negotiable, go." ”

Zan Xiruo nodded solemnly and hurriedly went.

Lu Dongzan motioned for all the irrelevant people to leave, and whispered to the Qinling: "Your eldest brother goes to the peace talks, but with this king's understanding of the Han king, there is little hope for peace talks, and you must make preparations with both hands, you quickly select some clever ones for the descendants of the family to hide, once the city is broken, you take the dark moon scimitar to escort away, the country can be broken, the father can die, but the family cannot die, and the incense inheritance must be retained." ”

"Father, sons, stay behind, and live and die with father." On Qinling's eyes instantly turned red.

"Nonsense, on knowing soldiers, no one in the clan can match, the reason why the defeat is not that you can't do it, but that the king of Han is too strong, what you have learned must be passed on, cultivate more people who are good at fighting, and intend to come to Japan." Lu Dongzan admonished.

"I ......" on Qinling's shameless self-esteem.

"Go west, go to Tianzhu, find a place to slowly figure it, there is always a comeback, bring more gold and silver jewelry, this matter is top secret, no third party knows, go and prepare, all for the family inheritance!"

"I ......"

On Qinling didn't know what to say, he was sad in his heart, and slowly retreated, a line of tears slipped down, and he was very angry in his heart - the general of the defeated army can really make a comeback?

……

At the east city gate, Zan Xiruo hurriedly came with a group of guards.

As soon as he arrived at the gate, he found that the city gate was open, and thousands of soldiers surrounded a large group of people and walked towards the outside of the city.

"The eldest prince, it's the Gudo family, and there's also Xiaozhuan." The Captain of the Guards shouted in surprise.

The small argument is an official position, which is equivalent to the second minister, Lu Dongzan was a big argument before he took the throne, which is equivalent to the prime minister, and after he took the throne, the post of the big argument was vacant, and the small argument was regarded as the hand of the Tubo Wenchen, and he also persuaded the army to join Qin Huaidao at the beginning.

Zan Xiruo looked at it, found the small talk in the crowd, and said in surprise: "Didn't he be invited into the palace last night?" Why is it here? ”

Last night, Lu Dongzan pretended to be sick, and many people were "invited" to visit the palace and put under house arrest.

The commander of the guards didn't know why, he was speechless, his eyes suddenly fell on a general, he reacted reluctantly, and hurriedly said: "It's the head of the Ten Thousand Households of the Guards, he is not the son-in-law of the king, how can it be?" ”

The Guards are responsible for guarding the palace and commanding those who can be trusted.

Zan Xiruo looked at what he was pointing at, and sure enough, it was his sister-in-law, the head of the Ten Thousand Households of the Guards, who usually showed loyalty, but now he betrayed, and said angrily: "It must be that he led the Guards to attack the West Temple, and fled out of the city after releasing the people under house arrest, which is hateful." ”

Without people under house arrest, there is less bargaining chip.

What's even more terrifying is that if they continue to go out of the city, they will inevitably be exposed, they will be killed, and even be arrested to become their name for defecting to the King of Han.

Do you want to continue to go out of town to negotiate? Zansiruo hesitated.

A large group of people rushed out of the city, but the gates were not closed, and more soldiers, seeing that no one was stopping, also took the opportunity to follow, and if there was one, there would be two, three......

More and more people fled from the city, and when the Qinling heard the news and rushed with the soldiers to suppress it, tens of thousands of people had already left, and the Qinling ordered the henchmen to close the city gate, and came to Zanxiruo and asked in a low voice: "Big brother, shouldn't you go out of the city......

The words of peace talks cannot be spoken, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

Zan Xiruo smiled bitterly, and said bluntly about the scene he had just seen and the speculation in his heart, and his face became ugly, and he motioned for the guards to leave, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, my father confessed, secretly hid the back of the family, and found a chance to escape from the city, in my opinion, Xiao Yan and others must have gone to join the King of Han, and the peace talks are hopeless, so it is better to take the opportunity to let go of the city gate and let everyone leave. ”

"This is a good way, let's go, go to my father!" Zan Xiruo agreed.

There is no hope for peace talks, you can only save yourself!

……

Hanzhou Army, Chinese Army Tent.

Qin Huaidao was a little surprised to receive Xiao Lun with thousands of Tubo Guards to vote, when he took Tubo last year, Xiao Lun also counted his strength, he was a talented person, but he was heavy on profit, afraid of death, and was an egoist, this kind of person is easy to deal with, as long as the benefits are enough, and the deterrence is enough, he will not dare to mess around.

The Guards are the elite of the Tibetan elite, and the commander is Lu Dongzan's son-in-law, who can betray Lu Dongzan for his life, and he will be able to sell himself in the future.

As for the other nobles, they are just a group of villains who betrayed Lu Dongzan for self-preservation, to be precise, it is not betrayal, Lu Dongzan's position is not right, and the time is not long, and the monarch and ministers have no loyalty at all.

These people can use their talents, but the fields and pastures must be handed over free of charge, which is the bottom line, otherwise what can they use to buy slaves and stabilize the situation?

Qin Huaidao met with everyone in the Chinese military tent, and when the old acquaintances met, they had their own politeness, reminiscing about the past, talking about interesting things from a year ago, and then praising each other, and the atmosphere became harmonious.

After some greetings, Qin Huaidao directly stated the bottom line.

Everyone is very painful, how can you enjoy a rich life without fields and pastures? How else to be on top?

But opposition means cutting off the head, it means destroying the family, and when the time comes, the fields and pastures will still not be saved, and no one is a fool, one by one, they smiled and expressed their obedience.

"Newspaper—"

While chatting, Luo Wu walked in quickly, hugged his fists and said: "King Qiyu, the generals of Qiangba, Gongbu, Luosang, Phuntsok and Jiayang ask to see you, please instruct." ”

When everyone heard that the last few armies were also coming to serve, what were you struggling with? He bowed his head in resignation.

Qin Huaidao's eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Please come in quickly." ”
