Chapter 25 The Tubo rulers and ministers

Although Lu Dongzan's second son Qinling was an official in the Tang Dynasty, appointed Tang Emperor Li Ke as his teacher, held a high position, and even married a daughter of the Tang Dynasty royal family, this did not affect Lu Dongzan's loyalty to Tubo, because in Lu Dongzan's eyes, today's Tubo was also his hard work and achievements.

However, although Lu Dongzan was loyal to Tubo, he was not the kind of foolish loyalty who had no selfish desires. On the premise that Lu Dongzan was loyal to Tubo, Lu Dongzan also saved the lives of his sons as much as possible.

Needless to say, the second son Qinling is naturally safe. The eldest son Zanxiruo's current fiefdom of the Gar family and the Gar family has Qinling's relationship, he should not be embarrassed. Zanxiruo's life can be preserved.

As for the third son Zanpo, Lu Dongzan placed him in Pulan. With the important town Plan in hand, Zanpo had the foundation for life to establish his life. To put it bluntly, even if the Tang army was at the city in the future, Zanpo would at least be able to save his life.

For Lu Dongzan, Zanpugongri Gongzan was not a good friend to him, and he also paid back the favor he gave to him by the abandonment of Zong Nongzan, so Lu Dongzan could not be very loyal to the Zanpu family. Lu Dongzan was loyal to Tubo, his own hard work and belief, not a certain person.

It is precisely because of this that Lu Dongzan never thought of letting the whole family pay for his own insistence. Even if this battle is dead, it would be enough to die alone.

After settled these things, Lu Dongzan went east with confidence, and brought Xiangxiong's 40,000 elite soldiers back overnight and reported to him.

When Lu Dongzan came back, Gongri Gongzan got the news immediately. Gongri Gongzan ordered Lu Dongzan to come back to solve the current crisis in Tubo, so he couldn't wait for a moment, so he ordered people to come to Lu Dongzan and Chisang Yangdu to discuss matters at the Potala Palace.

"The governor and governor Xiangxiong, who has been away for several years, thank you for your hard work." After Lu Dongzan entered the palace to see the ceremony, Gong Ri Gongzan came up and said to Lu Dongzan.

At the beginning, Lu Dongzan released Xiangxiong, which means Gongri Gongzan. Now, Gongri Gongzan says this, which can be regarded as taking the initiative to ease the relationship and showing good things to Lu Dongzan.

Lu Dongzan is naturally a little jealous about Gongri Gongzan, but after all, the enemy is in front of him, Lu Dongzan will not be ignorant of the importance. Lu Dongzan said: "Lu Dongzan failed to eliminate the remnants of Xiangxiong, and he was trusted by Zanpu. I hope Zanpu will forgive him."

What Lu Dongzan said did not make the two look ugly, but instead put himself in a low position, which was a good response to Gongri Gongzan.

Lu Dongzan's words were heard, and Gongri Gongzan put down a big stone in his heart. What he feared most was that he had lost his reputation and recalled Lu Dongzan, but Lu Dongzan did not accept his affection and did not use it for him. But now it seems that Gongri Gongzan had already been worried about it before.

Gongri Gongzan immediately said: "The governor puts the overall situation first in this withdrawal. Not only does he have no mistakes, but he has made contributions."

Gongri Gongzan said, and then gave Chisang Yangdun a wink on the side, asking Chisang Yangdun to cooperate, and offered his purpose of recalling Lu Dongzan.

Chisang Yangdun knew the meaning of Gongri Gongzan, so he said: "What Zanpu said is very true. Now that the Tang army invaded my Tubo, it is the time when my Tubo is alive and dead. We should put the overall situation first, repel the Tang army and protect our territory first."

With Chisang Yangdun, Gongri Gongzan was much easier to speak. Gongri Gongzan asked Lu Dongzan: "The governor came from Xiangxiong, and he should have heard about the Tang army along the way."

Lu Dongzan replied: "I have heard that the Tang army has captured Xiong Gu alive and broken the Gechuan Post. Now the army is surrounded by Damu City."

After Lu Dongzan finished speaking, Gongri Gongzan and Chisang Yangdun looked at each other and sighed, "Just as the news sent just now, the Tang army has broken Damu City, and more than 20,000 soldiers from Damu City have sacrificed their lives for their country. Now the Tang army is repairing the city, I am afraid that they will go south again soon."

Once Damu City was broken, another important city was lost to the north of Luoshe. It should have been an extremely serious situation, but Lu Dongzan was not surprised when he listened to Gongri Gongzan's words. It was obvious that he was mentally prepared for the result of this battle and did not feel strange.

Lu Dong praised: "Gechuan Post Office has been lost, the north and south gates of Tibet have been opened, and more than 200,000 main soldiers of the Tang army surrounded Damu City. It is only a matter of time before Damu City falls. It is not easy for Damu City to be able to defend Damu City until today."

More than 20,000 people in Damu City were guarding the city, blocking Li Ke for more than half a month. This was enough surprise for Lu Dongzan. Lu Dongzan knew the situation of the Tang army, and he never expected that Damu City could stop the Tang army from moving south.

When Gongri Gongzan saw that Lu Dongzan's expression did not fluctuate much, he felt a little more at ease. He asked Lu Dongzan: "The governor is the first junior high school general and has great military achievements. But now the dilemma is there, is there a way to save me Tubo?"

For most Tubo people, Lu Dongzan is the only one who can save Tubo. After Gongri Gongzan asked Lu Dongzan, even the eyes of Lu Dongzan looked at Lu Dongzan were filled with some ardent expectations.

However, Lu Dongzan did not directly reply to Gongri Gongzan's words, but asked first: "I wonder how many soldiers there can be called in Zanpu now, inside and outside, and around the towns."

Gongri Gongzan replied: "Since the Tang army defeated the Gechuan Post, in order to protect the Tubo country, I ordered another recruitment from the middle school of the country. Now there are 100,000 elite troops and 100,000 new troops available inside and outside, totaling 200,000 troops."

Gechuan Post was once a natural barrier that Gongri Gongzan relied on. When Gongri Gongzan was broken, Gongri Gongzan was broken. In order to save his logic, he ordered a forced recruitment in the Wuru area where the capital was located. In just nearly a month, he won 100,000 new troops.

A hundred thousand new army plus a hundred thousand old soldiers, totaling 200,000 troops. Regardless of the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, at least in terms of numbers, we can try the Tang army.

Gongri Gongzan didn't know why Lu Dongzan came up to ask this question, but since Lu Dongzan did this, there must be his reason. Gongri Gongzan replied to Lu Dongzan's words, and couldn't help but look at Lu Dongzan with his eyes, waiting for Lu Dongzan's strategy to defeat the enemy.

Lu Dongzan thought for a moment while Gongri Gongzan's gaze, and replied: "Logs left 40,000 elite troops to defend the city, and the remaining 160,000 troops followed me to Baibize to retreat to the enemy. Even if it was just a miserable victory in the end, it would still bring back a glimmer of life for me, Tubo."

Lu Dongzan brought back 40,000 elite troops from Xiangxiong. If he added 160,000 troops, it would be a 200,000 army, which was no less than the Tang army in terms of number.

If Lu Dongzan had arranged it properly, relying on the benefits of the plateau and his familiarity with the terrain of Bai Bize's generation, there would be a chance to beat the Tang army.

After all, although the Tang army is famous, it is Tubo. As the number one general of Tubo with great military achievements, Lu Dongzan was not given for nothing. Although Lu Dongzan acted cautiously, he also had the courage to fight against the Tang army.
