Rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, let alone the prime minister of a country.
The conflict between Li Qinzai and Lu Dongzan is inevitable. If there is a rift between two adults, they may not interact with each other until they die, or they may remain polite on the surface.
But there is a conflict in the fundamental interests between the two big countries. No matter how beautiful the words are, the conflict of interests is still there, which will be followed by an immediate falling out, and then endless fighting and murderous intentions.
Li Qinzai knew that he had made Lu Dongzan murderous today.
Just now in the commander's tent, Lu Dongzan's warm and friendly smile made Li Qinzai's back shiver. He knew that this old guy was going to attack him.
It is certainly a rule not to be beheaded, but if it touches the fundamental interests of the other party, the so-called rule is just a piece of waste paper.
"Walk slowly, manage your expression well, and pretend to be nonchalant." Li Qinzai walked slowly, still keeping a smile on his face, looking at the scenery as he walked.
Liu Asi and Lao Wei were frightened, but they pretended to be normal and followed Li Qinzai calmly.
"Fifth Young Master, why did the good Lu Dongzan murder you?" Liu Asi asked.
"Don't inquire about social affairs."
Old Wei's expression turned worried: "The Tubo camp is heavily guarded. Our tents are arranged in the rear, and are surrounded by Tibetan troops. It may not be easy to escape from the camp."
Li Qinzai said in a deep voice: "Go back to the camp first, and then slowly think of a way. I estimate that Lu Dongzan will take action within a day or two."
Old Wei looked ugly and said: "How dare he kill the envoy of the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Qinzai glanced at him and said, "It's as if I have never killed the Tibetan envoys. If I dare to kill them, why wouldn't he?"
"A war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo was unavoidable. In this case, why didn't Lu Dongzan kill me first? If it were me, I would do the same thing."
Li Qinzai acted neither sad nor happy, as if he could understand Lu Dongzan's motives for killing him.
Everyone is on the same level, so of course they understand what the other person is going to do next. This is why Li Qinzai sensed that Lu Dongzan had murderous intentions.
The group of people returned to the camp unhurriedly. Li Qinzai sat cross-legged behind a low table, frowning and thinking for a long time.
Liu Asi paced back and forth anxiously in the camp, while Old Wei still looked lazy. If it weren't for being so ugly, others would have thought he had the aura of the protagonist.
"Fifth Young Master, we have two hundred brothers. If we use all our strength to attack, we should be able to barely prevent Fifth Young Master from breaking out from the Tibetan rear army." Liu Asi said with a decisive look on his face.
Li Qinzai laughed: "Are you stupid? In an enemy camp with thousands of troops, two hundred people are nothing. If a thousand-man army charges, more than half of us will die."
Liu Asi whispered: "Fifth Young Master, do you have any other ideas?"
Li Qinzai was silent for a moment and said: "There is a way, but I'm afraid Lu Dongzan won't give me time..."
…………
Ludong Chan really will not leave time for Li Qinzai.
After Li Qinzai and his tribe returned to the rear army camp, the surrounding security suddenly increased a lot, and Li Qinzai and his tribe were cordoned off, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
In the central camp of the Tubo camp, Zi Nu and more than ten followers also gathered together.
Since Zi Nu returned to the Tubo camp, her situation has become a bit delicate.
After the rear army met Li Qinzai, it seemed that there were many pairs of eyes watching her around Zinu. Although she could still move around the camp, she was clearly told not to approach Li Qinzai's camp, and she was also not allowed to enter Ludong.
Lovely handsome tent.
This was another form of house arrest, and Zinudun knew that Lu Dongzan had become suspicious of her.
And the only people she can use are the dozen or so descendants of the Loulan Kingdom around her.
Wei Tuo was sitting in front of her and said solemnly: "Your Highness, I heard that the Prime Minister has sent more troops to the rear camp and surrounded Li Qinzai's camp."
Zi Nu's pretty face was cold, and she said in a deep voice: "The Prime Minister has obviously launched a murderous intention against Li Qinzai, but due to the surrounding situation and the elusive Tang army guerrilla nearby, he could not hold back for a while."
Wei Tuo understood Zi Nu's thoughts and said, "Your Highness wants to save Li Qinzai?"
Zi Nu pursed her lips and said nothing.
Wei Tuo sighed: "No matter what, I only have His Highness to follow your orders. Whatever you want, I will risk my life to help His Highness do it."
He had no friendship with Li Qinzai, he was just loyal to Zi Nu.
Zi Nu sighed: "Even if I want to save him, it won't be easy. The Prime Minister no longer trusts me. I can't move even an inch inside the Tubo camp."
Wei Tuo pondered for a long time and said: "The villain has a way, I don't know if it works..."
Zi Nu straightened up and stared at him with her beautiful purple eyes: "Speak quickly."
Seeing Zi Nu's eager look, Wei Tuo sighed sadly and said: "Your Highness, I would like to ask first, what happened here is that we, the descendants of the Loulan Kingdom, and the Prime Minister of Tubo are definitely severing ties with each other?"
Zi Nu was silent for a moment and nodded slowly.
Wei Tuo added: "In this way, we don't have to worry about our past feelings when we act. The villain thinks that we must create chaos in the Tubo camp, so that we can profit from the chaos and rescue Li Qinzai."
"How to create chaos?"
"This plan requires internal and external cooperation. I heard that Li Qinzai still has a very powerful Tang army guerrillaing near the Tubo camp. We might as well send someone to meet with the Tang army and inform them of the current situation. The Tang army is outside and we are inside.
, it’s not hard to create chaos.”
Zi Nu looked outside the camp and said, "Can we still leave the camp?"
Wei Tuo lowered his eyelids and said softly: "I have been with the Prime Minister for many years with His Highness, but after all... I still have some back-ups."
Zi Nu was surprised and said: "What backup plan have you left?"
"Nothing else, but I have one or two brothers among the generals of the Tibetan army who depend on each other for their lives."
…………
Fifty miles away from the Tubo camp, there is a canyon plain.
Sun Congdong described himself as embarrassed, covered in dust, and commanding his generals to clean up the battlefield.
After annihilating a Tibetan army of 5,000 men, Sun Congdong seemed to have opened the door to a new world, and his thoughts suddenly became clear.
In the past few days, he led his generals to fight in the north and south. When they encountered small tribes or small groups of Tubo troops, they would surround them and annihilate them. He didn't care about Tuyuhun or Tubo people. He would kill them if he could beat them, and avoid them if he couldn't.
Understand the essence of guerrilla warfare.
However, in the past few days, the Tibetan army's efforts to encircle and suppress them suddenly increased. Sun Congdong had encountered Tibetan cavalry of ten thousand people several times. When he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately turned around and fled.
After several battles, more than 200 of the thousand forbidden troops under his command were killed, and now only 800 generals are still holding on.
Yesterday, a member of the Li family came out of the Tubo camp and informed him of Li Qinzai's situation and conveyed Li Qinzai's order to continue guerrilla warfare.
Sun Congdong was worried about Li Qinzai's safety, but he also knew that his eight hundred people could not rush into the Tubo camp to rescue people, and could only wander around and lurk within dozens of miles around the camp, waiting for the opportunity.
A small tribe from Tuyuhun was just plundered today. The generals were cleaning the battlefield. After collecting their belongings, they cut and marinated the beef and mutton and took them with them.
Sun Congdong was about to give the order to leave, when suddenly several scouts came over escorting a man dressed in Western Region costumes.
"Captain Sun, we captured a spy. He said he came from the Tubo camp to report the news."
