Langjie looked at those slaves who were as docile and obedient as cattle and sheep in the past when he saw him.

At this moment, everyone's face was flushed, their eyes were so bright that it was scary, even though they were stammering when they spoke.

However, all the things he had done ten or twenty years ago that he had long forgotten were uncovered.

Although his mouth was blocked and his whole body was suppressed and unable to move, he kept murmuring in his heart and retorted so plausibly.

I just cut off one of your hands, and you will not be able to steal anything from your master, even if it is a piece of highland barley cake.

What's wrong with gouging out one of your eyes? How can a despicable and dirty slave like you, Master's woman, look at her?

But when the countless denunciations became louder and more intense, it even required the soldiers to stop them in order to stop the slaves from moving forward.

Not only Langjie, but also the large and small slave owners in the tribe began to tremble, and some even began to cry bitterly.

When Pubu saw that the situation was becoming increasingly difficult to control, he picked up a bamboo whistle and started to blow it.

Dozens of soldiers blew the harsh bamboo whistles together, finally suppressing the emotions of the overly excited accusers.

At Pu Bu's signal, the scribe raised his voice and began to read the laws of the Tang Dynasty loudly.

And what kind of responsibility Lang Jie should bear for certain crimes he committed.

After he finished reading, the scribe, who was born as a Han but spoke fluent Tubo, raised his voice.

"Lang Jie is extremely vicious and sinful. He regards human life as nothing but grass and kills and disposes of others arbitrarily. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, he should be punished to serve as a warning to others!"

Pubu's eyes fell on Master Dundup. "Master, do you have any objections to this treatment according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty?"

"No objection!" Dunzhu bowed slightly, nodded solemnly and said loudly.

"On behalf of the Yaozhou Governor's Office of the Tang Dynasty, I announce that Langjie will be sentenced to death immediately!" Pubu suddenly shouted loudly.

Soon, a burly soldier stood up from the rear and stood in front of the pale-faced Lang Jie.

She grinned at him, revealing a mouth of scary white teeth.

While slowly pulling out the long knife at his waist, he said patiently.

"Once, I was a humble slave, but now, I am a soldier of the Tang Dynasty! Kill!!!"

There was a wild roar, a sharp sword flashed by, and the head rolled directly to the ground, and blood spurted out into the sky.

For those slaves who have been living in darkness, it is like cutting off the shackles that tightly bind their souls...

Heading northeast from Doma City, passing through Wuhai, and walking for two days, you can see Nalu Yi City.

Originally this was just a small town, but it happened to be stuck on the main road leading from the south of Tuyuhun to the hinterland of Tuyuhun.

After Doma City fell into the hands of the Tibetans, Tuyuhun asked the Tang Dynasty for help and asked the Tang Dynasty to make the decision.

On the one hand, the Nalu Post City was made taller and thicker, hoping to block possible Tibetan attacks here.

It was not until Li Ji, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty and Minister of War, led five thousand elite troops to Tuyuhun.

He personally led two thousand elite soldiers and three thousand Tuyuhun soldiers to garrison in this Nalu post city.

Another three thousand elite troops were placed in Fuqi City to prevent Tibet from attacking Tuyuhun from these two directions.

At this moment, Li Ji looked at the camps of the Tibetan army that had already entered a few miles away from Naluyi City.

There are at least 70,000 to 80,000 people, and they are all Tibetan elites with strict military discipline.

He even saw the royal flag of Tubo Zanpu, cubed in the center of the camp.

This made Li Ji both happy and worried. What he was happy about was that Tubo did not launch an attack immediately and had already stayed outside Naluyi City for five days.

What is worrying is that the time for the ultimatum given to him by the Tubo Zampu is getting closer and closer.

After midnight tomorrow night, it will be the deadline to evacuate Naluyi City.

If he does not lead his army to leave at that time, then the Tibetan army will launch an attack.

But the problem is that the Dafeichuan area behind Naluyi City is not dangerous and cannot be defended. On the contrary, it is very suitable for the decisive battle of the main force of the army.

In Tuyuhun's previous battle with Tubo, he had lost consecutive battles. If the Tibetan army was allowed to cross Naluyi City and enter Dafeichuan, haha...

Li Ji felt that he was thinking with the hairs on his toes and knew that Tuyuhun's fate would definitely be terrible.

However, if he led his army to defend the city here, he would not be able to wait for reinforcements before the Tang Dynasty defeated Xue Yantuo.

I want to rely on this reinforced 2,000 Tang Dynasty elite division and 3,000 Tuyuhun troops to face the 780,000 to 80,000 elite Tubo division.

Li Ji felt that he could hold on, but he really didn't know how long he could hold on...

"Commander, over there at Fuqi City..." a general asked in a low voice.

Li Ji groaned without looking back.

"If we let them come over and the Tibetan soldiers and horses go to ambush Qicheng, what will we do?"

"But Marshal, why should I, Wu Ben of the Tang Dynasty, bleed for them regarding Tuyuhun?"

"If this were my territory of the Tang Dynasty, even if the general lay down his head here, he would never frown..."

After hearing this, Li Ji couldn't help but glare at this guy and snorted.

"Keep an eye on this place and pay attention to whether there is any unusual movement in the Tibetan army."

Then they slapped their buttocks and headed downwards. All the soldiers could only wipe their faces helplessly and continue to stay, looking at the huge military camp that seemed to occupy the entire field of vision.

Li Ji returned to his house, came to the room with the sand table, and looked at the green flags on it.

The green flag represents Tubo, the red flag represents Tang Dynasty, and the gray flag represents Tuyuhun.

Looking blankly at the eye-catching situation above, Li Ji couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

What should we do? Should we really let the soldiers go to war with Tubo? Or should we hold on until the last day and then retreat quietly.

Li Jizhen felt so sad that he seemed to have a few more gray hairs.

I couldn't help but murmured something in a low voice. "Those little bastards, they agreed to contain Tubo for me. What the hell are you trying to contain?"

In the Tubo camp, the leader of the Tubo kingdom, Songtsen Gampo, who loved marrying princesses, was currently in the tent, eating, drinking, talking and laughing with a group of Tibetan civil and military officials.

The time is getting closer and closer to the ultimatum he gave, and Li Ji, the Minister of War of the Tang Dynasty who is guarding here.

Facing his own 80,000 elite troops, apart from sending envoys to reprimand him for unprovoked invasion of Tang Dynasty tribes, he did not take any substantive action at all.

Songtsen Gampo was very polite and decided to be polite to the Tang Dynasty first and then fight with the Tang Dynasty. After all, he did not want to really face a direct conflict with the Tang Dynasty.

That's why he sent envoys back and issued an ultimatum to Li Ji who was guarding the post city.

Songtsen Gampo did not believe that Li Ji, who could only lead a few thousand troops and had to defend two places, dared to really start a conflict with Tibet.

Just when Songtsen Gampo was happily thinking about waiting until Li Ji took the initiative to withdraw his troops, he would raise his own troops and capture Nalu Post City.

The entire Tuyuhun will be like a peeled egg, and nothing can stop itself from annexing Tuyuhun.

Just when Songtsen Gampo was enjoying himself, suddenly a voice that seemed a little angry and frustrated sounded from outside the big tent.
