Mengsa Chijiang couldn't help but be silent when he heard this, Princess Zhenzhu did repeatedly emphasize at the beginning that she should stick to it and not take the initiative to attack, but the leaders of the tribes in Shannan didn't listen at all! In fact, even she didn't listen to it, because the leaders of the various tribes felt that Shannan had gathered so many troops, and Lu Dongzan was a traitor who led the army from afar, and the morale was low and the army was tired, and it was not difficult to defeat Lu Dongzan, hearing these clan leaders say this, Mengsa Chijiang was very moved, and more importantly, she believed in her father and brother, three consecutive defeats! The army suffered heavy losses, and now she understands that what Princess Zhenzhu said is right, thinking of this, Mengsa Chijiang couldn't help but shed tears of regret, Princess Zhenzhu couldn't help but sigh beside her, although she is a noble princess, but she is only Gongri Gongzan's aunt, and Mengsa Chijiang is Gongri Gongzan's mother, when her brother was still alive, she was more noble and powerful than Mengsa Chijiang, after the death of her brother, especially after coming to Shannan, Mengsa Chijiang was more powerful than her as Gongri Gongzan's mother, so, What she said, her insistence, those tribal leaders didn't listen at all, if Mengsa Chijiang stood with her, maybe those tribal leaders would listen, but unfortunately, Mengsa Chijiang had been blinded by hatred, and just wanted to kill Lu Dongzan quickly, Mengsa Chijiang sighed faintly.

"I regret that I didn't listen to you at the beginning, father and brother, they all swore that they could defeat Lu Dongzan and kill Lu Dongzan, I thought they really could! True pearl, what now? ”

Princess Pearl sighed.

"I can't do anything but hope that other tribes can come to the rescue."

Monsa Chijiang asked.

"Then do you think we can hold the defense?"

Princess Zhenzhu said bitterly.

"If you hold on to it from the beginning, you will definitely be able to hold it, but now that the coalition forces have suffered heavy losses, it is difficult to say whether they can hold it or not, and how long they can hold it."

Although Princess Zhenzhu said it tactfully, Mengsa Chijiang heard Princess Zhenzhu's worries, and she said nervously.

"Zhenzhu, if Shannan can't hold it, then what should we do?"

What if Shannan can't hold it? Princess Zhenzhu couldn't help but be silent when she heard this, she has been thinking about this question these days, but there is no answer, if Shannan can't hold it, how can there be a place for Gongri Gongzan in the world? In fact, in this situation, even if the Shannan army doesn't want to listen to Princess Zhenzhu's words, they have to retreat and retreat to defend, because they have long since lost the strength to take the initiative, whether it is morale or strength, they do not have an advantage, after a group of tribal leaders have discussed, they can only shrink their forces back to Qiong Jiecheng to hold on, and now everywhere is ready to move, as long as they can hold Qiong Jiecheng, Lu Dongzan, who has not been able to attack for a long time, can only choose to retreat, so that they can have a chance to breathe, Lu Dongzan's army is mighty, and the soldiers are pointing directly at Qiong Jiecheng, There was no obstacle all the way, the army arrived at Qiong Jiecheng smoothly, Lu Dongzan looked at Qiong Jiecheng and the feeling in his heart was very complicated, speaking of which he had not returned to Qiong Jiecheng in many ways, when he left Qiong Jiecheng, he was not the great minister of Tubo, and now he has returned to Qiong Jiecheng again, he has monopolized the power, only one step away from ascending to the position of Zangpu, and the Zampu Songtsen Gampo that he looked up to and admired at the beginning has no bones, and his fate is so tortuous and bizarre, When he left Qiong Jiecheng, he never thought that there would be such a day, as long as he broke through Qiong Jiecheng, the world would be in his hands, and at this moment, Lu Dongzan couldn't help but be excited.

"Pass on the order of the prime minister, and the army will begin to attack the city!"

"The prime minister has an order, start the siege!"

"The prime minister has an order, start the siege!"

Just when Lu Dongzan led the army to attack Qiong Jiecheng, Bagger with 20,000 cavalry rushed all the way to finally arrived at the city, to Bagel's relief is that the Tang army has not yet attacked the city, he arrived at the right time, the gate of the city of the city of Luo City was opened, and the mighty cavalry began to enter the city, although the cavalry looked very tired, but the officials and people of the city were all boiling, these days, they have been worried that the Tang army will attack the city, and now there is a large army to help, This can't help but make them feel ecstatic, there is a large army to return to help plus the 20,000 defenders in the city, this can ensure that some cities will not be lost, to say who is the most ecstatic person in some cities, it must be Qinling Undoubtedly, these days he sent people to inquire about the whereabouts of the Tang army, on the other hand, anxiously waiting for the old man's reply, I didn't expect the reply did not wait, directly waited for reinforcements, when he heard that there were reinforcements back to Luozhi City, Qinling was really happy and jumped up directly, with reinforcements then he was confident to defeat the Tang army, Qin Ling left the Great Minister's Mansion and went straight to the city gate, and all the people deigned to go not because they welcomed the returning generals, but because he was too excited.

"The last general Bagmu to meet Shang Lun!"

When Bagmu saw Qin Ling coming to greet him, he was immediately very moved and respectful, and Qin Ling sat on the horse and asked urgently.

"How many soldiers and horses did you bring back?"

Bagmu hurriedly said.

"The prime minister ordered the end to bring 20,000 soldiers and horses back to help, Shang Lun rest assured, with the last general's 20,000 soldiers and horses, he will definitely be able to defend some cities."

Hearing that Bagmu brought back 20,000 soldiers and horses, Qin Ling suddenly felt a burst of surprise in his heart, so that he had 40,000 troops in his hands, 40,000 brave and good Tubo warriors, even in the face of twice the Tang army, he was confident that he could defeat, however, hearing Bager's words, Qin Ling couldn't help frowning slightly, these generals all had no intention of fighting, and they only thought about defending the city, which he felt very disappointed.

"If you just defend the city, you don't need reinforcements at all, and with only 20,000 soldiers and horses in my hand, you can defend some of the cities! Can't you be a little sharp? Just thinking about defending the city every day? The Tang army has come to the door and is looting everywhere, can we just cower in the city and watch those tribes being looted? ”

Qin Ling was a little dissatisfied, Bagel couldn't help but chuckle when he heard it, his face turned red, Qin Ling will definitely inherit the position of Zampu in the future, if Qin Ling is dissatisfied with him, then his future will be over, Bagmu hurriedly explained.

"Shang Lun, it's not that the last general is cowardly, but before the last general leaves, the minister specially explained that we must hold on to some cities and not fight without authorization!"

Qin Ling couldn't help frowning when he heard this, he didn't expect the old man to give such an order, what does this mean? Can't trust him? Qin Ling rushed over, but the result was very disappointing, Qin Ling frowned and said dissatisfied.

"The soldiers are very tired when they come back from the march, so let's rest for the time being, and you will come with me!"

In the meeting hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a group of generals gathered together, and Qin Ling sat down on the main seat and asked.

"Didn't my father see the letter I wrote? The Tang army only has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and now there are 40,000 troops in Luocheng City, why does my father want us to defend the city? ”

Bagmu hurriedly said.

"Shang Lun's letter to the great minister has read it carefully, the Shannan coalition army has suffered heavy losses after three consecutive defeats, and welcoming back the little prince is just around the corner, as long as we hold the city, then the prime minister will return to the division, and it will be easy to defeat the Tang army."

The other generals couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard this: "Yes, Shang Lun, since the prime minister has an order, then we will hold on to some cities, with these 40,000 soldiers and horses, we will definitely be able to defend some cities in Luo, and when the prime minister returns to the division, the Tang army will be defeated!" ”

In fact, they all knew that Qinling wanted to go out of the city and fight with the Tang army, but since the prime minister had already ordered him to hold on, why bother? Qin Ling said in a deep voice.

"I hope that the Tang army can come to attack the city, but have you ever thought about it, what if the Tang army doesn't come to attack the city? What if the Tang army only dared to plunder those tribes outside? ”

The generals felt a little inexplicable when they heard this, wouldn't it be better if the Tang army didn't come to attack some cities? Seeing the expressions on the faces of the generals, the corners of Qin Ling's mouth showed a hint of mockery, and he sneered.

"Do you think it's better for the Tang army not to attack some cities? So that there will be no danger in the city of Logos? ”

The generals couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when they heard this, and Bagmu hurriedly said.

"That's not the case, we also expect the Tang army to attack the city of Luo, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties, and it will be easier to defeat the Tang army when the prime minister returns to the division."

The other generals also nodded in agreement, and Qin Ling sneered.

"Our 40,000 army is guarding the city, and the Tang army only has 40,000 or 50,000 troops, do you think they have the courage to attack the city? They plundered the tribes everywhere and then withdrew to Tuyuhun with the looted goods, cattle, horses, and horses, but what about us? We cowered in the city, watching them rob our Tibetan people and return with a full load, at that time, how did those people who were robbed think of us? What do the officials and people of the city of Logos think of us? What do the victorious generals think of us? ”

The generals couldn't help but change their faces when they heard this, and they were silent for a moment, and Qin Ling then sneered.

"The generals who fought with my father triumphed, they made great achievements, they were knights, they were heroes praised by everyone, but what about you? Everybody will say you're cowards! It's an incompetent coward! It's a coward who watched the Tang army loot but didn't dare to fight! ”

These generals had been thinking about how to defend the city before, but they had never thought about the problem of if the Tang army did not come to attack the city, if the Tang army really did not come to attack the city, but only plundered the surrounding tribes and withdrew, what would happen? After thinking about it carefully, they had to admit that what Qin Ling said was very reasonable, if the Tang army came to attack the city and they held the city, then they had merit. But the Tang army did not come to attack the city, but they have been cowering in the city without fighting and allowing the Tang army to loot and retreat, then they have no credit, not only no credit, but even mistakes, so the generals couldn't help but hesitate when they heard this, should they fight or not? Bagmu couldn't help but change his face when he heard this, before he left, Daxiangke kept telling him to stick to it and not to fight without authorization, Bagmu hurriedly said.

"However, Shang Lun, the prime minister once again emphasized that we must hold on and not fight! If you go to war, wouldn't it be against the orders of the prime minister? ”

The generals hesitated when they heard this, if they went to war, they would indeed violate the orders of the prime minister, and if the prime minister was to blame him, who would bear the blame? But if you don't fight, then you can only watch others get promoted and get rich, while they have to bear the infamy of cowards, what a dilemma! Qin Ling sneered.

"Bagmu, you have made a lot of meritorious contributions this time, right?"

Hearing this, the generals couldn't help but look at Bagmu, yes, this guy went out with the prime minister to fight three victories, and must have made a lot of contributions, so, even if Bagmu has been cowering in some cities, the most important thing is that he still has merit, or will he be promoted and rich, and he doesn't have to bear the infamy of a coward, in this case, why did Bagmu risk being scolded by the prime minister to go on the expedition? In the end, Bagmu and them are not all the way, how can Bagmu not understand the twists and turns in this? He hurriedly said.

"The last general's expedition this time is only to strictly abide by the military orders of the prime minister, these three great victories are the credit of the prime minister, how can the last general have any credit?"

Qin Ling snorted coldly and said in a deep voice.

"I know what you're afraid of, you're afraid that my father will reproach you at that time, but you can rest assured, if your father really blames, I will bear it, because it is I who makes the decision, do you have any objections?"

After finishing speaking, Qin Ling looked around and finally fell on Bagmu's body, Bagmu lowered his head slightly and felt very stressed, he went out to fight against the orders of the prime minister, but he offended Qin Ling if he didn't go to war, this is too embarrassing, if he offended Qin Ling, then Qin Ling inherited the position of Zampu in the future, how could he let him go? Therefore, he didn't dare to offend Qin Ling at all, before returning to the division, he never thought that Qin Ling would dare not listen to the orders of the prime minister, if he had known, he would have begged the prime minister to continue to fight, instead of returning to the division of some cities, the hall was very silent, no one dared to have any objections, but for a while, no one dared to say anything to echo, Qin Ling said in a deep voice.

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of the Tang Army? Don't you dare to fight with the Tang Army? Are you afraid of the Tang Army's firearms? Songtsen Gampo led an army of 100,000 to defeat the Tang army's firearms, but this is the plateau, the Tang army's artillery is very heavy, they can't transport it to the plateau, the Tang army without firearms, that is, the tiger without minions, why be afraid? ”

"Shang Lun, how can we be afraid of the Tang army, the Tang army has come from afar, and the tired army is the opponent of our Tubo warriors?"

"Yes, how can we be afraid of the Tang Army!"

"This is on the plateau, the Tang army is sent to death when it comes, how can we be afraid?"

A group of generals said in unison, if the Tang army has no firearms, it is indeed not to be afraid, Qin Ling finally showed a satisfied look on his face when he heard this, and suddenly got up and shouted.

"Okay, since all the generals have no objections, then we will take the initiative to attack and let tens of thousands of Tang troops all be buried on the plateau!"
