This battle has achieved such a big result, of course Li Er has to send someone to publicize it, in fact, there is no need for people to deliberately publicize it, and the results of this battle will spread quickly, because the people of the entire Chang'an are looking forward to beheading more than 70,000! More than 10,000 captured! Almost captured Songtsen Gampo alive! The people of Chang'an City were stunned when they heard the news, they knew that they had achieved a great victory, what they didn't expect was that this great victory was beyond imagination, after knowing the results of this great victory, the people of Chang'an City were even more excited, there was a kind of pleasure of revenge, the Tibetan envoys were not quite arrogant, you have the ability to come to Chang'an to try it again! See if you Tubo people can still be arrogant, and then they also know why this great victory will achieve such a big result, it turned out to be a trick to lure the soldiers, Li Yong, the prince of Rongfu County, as a bait to lure the Tubo army, and then the three armies surrounded, which almost slaughtered the Tubo army, and even, even Songtsen Gampo was lured in, but unfortunately, let this old boy escape, otherwise, Jieli should also have a companion, excited, the people of Chang'an are also very emotional, Li Yong, as the county prince who has made great contributions, and as the emperor's favorite son-in-law, actually used it as a bait to lure the enemy, this mind and courage are really powerful! However, what made them even more emotional was that Li Yong's attraction was so great that he actually attracted Tubo Zampu, but it's a pity! Let Songtsen Gampo escape, of course, they are also a little worried, the emperor is not afraid that Li Yong will really be taken captive, Li Yong is the treasure of the Tang Dynasty! Just when the people of Chang'an were elated because of the great victory, dozens of cavalry on the Tibetan side entered the city of Luoqi, the king of Tubo, and Songtsan Gampo led the army to march, and all the political affairs of Tubo were handed over to the great minister Lu Dongzan, although Lu Dongzan is known for being a virtuous minister, and the whole person is busy dealing with this big stall of political affairs, but he also experienced a different feeling, which is different from the feeling of being above 10,000 people under one person in the past, and then he realized the absolute power and absolute control. That feeling is too evocative, so even though he is very tired, Lu Dongzan is still full of energy.

"Report, Prime Minister Qiqi, there is a group of cavalry entering the city, they say that they are coming back from the battlefield of Tuyuhun, say, say"

Lu Dongzan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said in a deep voice.

"Say what? Say, Our great army is defeated! Defeated? Didn't the 100,000 Iron Cavalry capture Xinghai City? ”

Lu Dongzan muttered that when Zampu led the army to go on the expedition, he thought that this expedition might be defeated, because Datang is really very powerful, and it is precisely because of such psychological preparation that Lu Dongzan is not very shocked.

"Did Zamp send them back? Then bring them over. ”

Lu Dongzan said in a deep voice.

"Great Minister, it wasn't Zampu who sent them back, they fled directly from the battlefield."

Lu Dongzan couldn't help but be furious when he heard this, and shouted.

"Flee straight back from the battlefield? That doesn't put them in jail and await disposal! No, later, I'll bring them over first, and I'll ask about the situation on the battlefield. ”

Soon a centurion looked like a man was brought in, Lu Dongzan raised his eyes and looked at it, frowning deeply, because this centurion looked defeated, looking full of despair, not just defeat, as if he had been hit by a great blow, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, how can you lose courage and morale because of the defeat of a war? This is where Lu Dongzan feels the most dissatisfied.

"Are you still not a Tibetan warrior? Or is it not a Tibetan warrior who can fight well? You fled straight back from the battlefield? Do you have the face to face your family? ”

Lu Dongzan scolded in a deep voice.

"Prime minister, it's not that we want to escape back from the battlefield, there is really no other way out! The 100,000-strong army has been wiped out, and even if we stay in Tuyuhun, it's useless! It's better to come back early and report the news! ”

The centurion argued in a deep voice, and Lu Dongzan asked after hearing the drastic change in his face.

"What do you say? 100,000 troops wiped out? How is this possible? ”

Although he thought that the army might lose, he didn't think that it would be wiped out, after all, it was an army of 100,000! And it was Zampu himself who led the troops, how could it be completely annihilated? Even if the Tang army comes back to help in time, even if the Tang army that comes back defeats the army, it will not be wiped out!

"Big Phase, it's true, the little one doesn't dare to lie!"

The centurion hurriedly said, Lu Dongzan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, and said in a deep voice.

"This is the order of the prime minister, you will go on the expedition through the original way!"

"Zampu led the cavalry reinforced by the army directly to Tuyuhun King City, and then Zampu ordered a cavalry disguised as the main army to attract the attention of the main army of the Tang army, and Zampu personally led the army straight to Xinghai City and surrounded Xinghai City."

The centurion said in a deep voice, Lu Dongzan couldn't help but bow his head slightly when he heard it, this is the same as he thought, there is nothing wrong with it, the centurion continued.

"Then began to attack the city, originally everyone thought that it was not difficult to capture Xinghai City, after all, it was 100,000 iron cavalry, who would have thought that the muskets and artillery of Xinghai City were really powerful, from beginning to end, they attacked for six or seven days in a row, and they saw that they could attack the city, but they never attacked the city, and then the scouts found that the Tang army appeared on the west, north and south sides, and the three Tang armies actually returned to help at the same time, surrounding our army."

Hearing that the army had never captured Xinghai City, Lu Dongzan was not very surprised, because he had thought about this possibility before, but when he heard that the Tang army had appeared on three sides, and it was encircled, his face changed drastically.

"The three Tang armies returned to help at the same time, and they formed a siege? How could it be such a coincidence? ”

Lu Dongzan asked, and the centurion sighed.

"It's not a coincidence, this is a trap from beginning to end, Li Yong led the Shenji battalion into Xinghai City is actually a bait to lure our Tubo soldiers and horses to attack, and then the three Tang armies complete the siege."

"What? Is this a trap? Li Yong is a bait? ”

Lu Dongzan felt very incredulous, how could this be? Li Yong has made outstanding achievements in the Tang Dynasty and is the emperor's favorite horse, how can he go to Xinghai City as a bait? How could the Tang Emperor be willing to let Li Yong be a bait? The centurion nodded.

"Yes, this is a trap, Li Yong's defense of Xinghai City is a bait, this is what Zampu said, it's just that we know too late, the Tang army has already completed the siege."

It turned out to be a trap! Lu Dongzan's heart was full of shock, if this was a trap, then the Tang army must be completely prepared, and it is not surprising why the army was completely annihilated, but Lu Dongzan quickly realized a problem, if the army was almost wiped out, what about Zampu? Thinking of this, Lu Dongzan's heart was greatly shaken, and he hurriedly asked.

"You have been encircled by the Tang Army, what about Zampu? Have you ever seen Zamp? ”

The centurion shook his head slightly.

"At that time, the army was in chaos, I saw General Saamu with the cavalry rushing left and right but never broke through the encirclement of the Tang army, we also rushed out of a small gap in the Tang army, a total of more than 1,000 horsemen, but then we encountered the pursuit of the Tang cavalry, and finally escaped, that battle was really too tragic, the Tang army's Mo knife array is like an indestructible war machine, the musket array of the Shenji battalion can shoot all creatures within range, whether it is people or horses! Before we rushed out, the encirclement of the Tang Dynasty was getting tighter and tighter, and one by one the warriors fell, and we fled back not because of fear, but because it was useless for us to stay in Tuyuhun, and it was impossible for us to defeat the Tang army with dozens or hundreds of men. ”

Lu Dongzan had long known the power of Li Yong's firearms, and now he didn't pursue these things, he asked in a deep voice.

"I don't want to hold you accountable now, I just want to know, what about Zampu? Where is Zamp? ”

The centurion said hurriedly.

"I don't know this!"

Lu Dongzan said in a deep voice.

"In other words, when you escaped, Zampu was still surrounded by the Tang army and did not rush out?"

The centurion nodded nervously.

"Yes, it's not that he doesn't want to save Zampu, Zampu's personal guards are all wolf-like warriors, and they will definitely be able to protect Zampu out of the encirclement."

Lu Dongzan said in a deep voice.

"You said you encountered the pursuit of the Tang cavalry?"

The centurion nodded.

"Yes, the prime minister, we encountered several groups of cavalry pursuits, and finally rushed out, so we rushed back day and night to report to the prime minister."

Having a general understanding of the process of the expedition, and not asking anything more, Lu Dongzan said in a deep voice.

"Come on, take them down!"

"Great Phase! Great phase! Humble is really not a deserter! The humble duty is to rush back to report to the great minister, spare your life, the great minister! ”

The centurion cried and shouted or was escorted down, Lu Dong sighed in admiration, rubbed his brows and fell into deep thought, for a while he was also confused, because he never thought that the army would lose, let alone that Zampu would be surrounded by the Tang army, and now, he doesn't know whether Zampu escaped in the end, no, Zampu should have escaped in the end, otherwise the Tang army would have sent cavalry to pursue overnight after achieving such great results, so he speculated that Zampu should have finally broken out of the encirclement, but, Even if Zampu broke out of the encirclement, and the cavalry of the Tang Army was pursuing, if Zampu was fine, then Zampu should have returned to Tubo long ago, after all, Zampu and the guards' war horses were all BMWs and good horses.

"Someone! There must be people who flee back from Tuyuhun, all those who escape back are all arrested, especially not let them talk nonsense, we don't know what happened to Zampu for the time being, but I believe that Zampu will be safe and sound, before that, we can't let these people who fled back spread nonsense, otherwise rumors will spread chaos! ”

Lu Dongzan said in a deep voice, there are generals who have been ordered, but Lu Dongzan is still not at ease, because not all the people who fled back from Tuyuhun will come to Luocheng City, maybe there will be people who have fled back and returned to their tribes directly, in that case, it will be even more difficult to control the rumors, I just hope that before the rumors spread on a large scale, Zampu can return to Tubo smoothly, otherwise, there will be a big turmoil! The people of the Great Minister's Mansion immediately went to the city gate to guard everywhere, and once there were people who escaped from Tuyuhun, they were immediately arrested, but the rumors still spread in the city, because it was impossible for all those who fled back to be arrested at the first time, there would always be fish that slipped through the net, and even the people of the Great Minister's Mansion could not help but boast, and in the palace, the maid trotted into the main hall and shouted in panic.

"Princess, princess, something is wrong!"

Princess Zhenzhu wondered.

"What happened? Don't panic, speak slowly. ”

The maid panicked.

"People outside the palace are talking, saying that the army was defeated, and they fell for the Tang army's trick to lure the troops, and Zampu was also surrounded by the Tang army, no, there was no escape"

With a bang, the exquisite vase in Princess Zhenzhu's hand fell to the ground and shattered, and Princess Zhenzhu's hand suddenly became snow-white, and asked in a trembling voice.

"What did you say?"

The maid's face was equally white and frightening, and she explained in a trembling voice.

"It is said outside that there are many defeated soldiers who have fled back, and the news they brought back is that the army was ambushed by the Tang army, and the whole army was almost wiped out, and Zampu was also surrounded by the Tang army."

Princess Zhenzhu hurriedly said.

"Did my brother escape? Since so many soldiers have escaped, my brother will definitely flee back! ”

The maid slowly shook her head and said, "No, I don't know, I haven't heard that Zampu is back in the palace." ”

In fact, the maid didn't say a word, those soldiers fled back probably because Tang Jun was lazy to arrest them, but Tang Jun would definitely stare at Zampu, how could Zampu escape easily? Yes, if my brother is okay, he should have returned to the palace! For a while, Princess Zhenzhu was in turmoil, although in the past two years, she and her brother have had a lot of contradictions, but after all, it was her brother, this expedition, she hoped that her brother could return in vain, and even hoped that her brother would suffer a small setback, but she didn't want the army to be defeated, and she didn't want her brother to be in danger.

"Princess, princess, this is just a rumor outside the palace that the slave maid heard, and it is not necessarily true, Zan Puji people have their own natural appearance, and they will definitely be fine!"

The maid hurriedly comforted, in fact, their hearts were also very panicked, and Princess Zhenzhu finally had the spirit again when she heard this, and nodded.

"That's right, those rumors outside the palace may not be true, the most important thing now is to confirm what the battle situation of the army is!"

"Princess, how do you know that? Why don't you inquire again? ”

The maid asked, and Princess Pearl shook her head.

"No, I want the Prime Minister's Mansion, I want to ask Lu Dongzan in person, prepare the horse!"

When the maids heard this, they hurriedly got up to work, and went to prepare the horses and prepare the swords and arrows, and they were both the princess's maids and the princess's guards.
