Qin Huaidao didn't know much about the affairs of the Lu Dongzan family, and he didn't bother to care about it. As long as the 200,000 troops didn't cause trouble, he found a place to sit down and waited patiently. The meat was roasted on the charcoal stove and cut with a knife.
I threw a piece into my mouth, it was tender and juicy and melted in my mouth. I was hungry, so I ate a few more pieces while looking at the two brothers calmly.
The two brothers looked at each other speechless, but they both knew each other's feelings.
After a while, Zan Xiruo solemnly said: "The one who leads the two hundred thousand troops should be my uncle, but my uncle thinks very highly of himself and always only obeys my father. My brother may not listen to his words. If my father is here, everything will be easy to say. At the moment, only
One way to do this is for one of my brothers to go over and persuade him face to face, but..."
"Worried about my suspicions, you won't let him go?" Qin Huaidao asked bluntly. The two of them smiled, which was regarded as acquiescence. Qin Huaidao continued: "As for Qinling, you go."
If Zan Xi is a cruel and decisive person, this kind of person is good at strategies. If he assists his uncle, the two hundred thousand troops will definitely cause a huge wave. But Qin Ling is different. He is a military commander and is seriously injured. If he recovers after returning,
If he rebels, it won't help him much, and he will also divide his uncle's military power. If there is a gap between the uncle and nephew, it will be beneficial to him.
Another point is that Zan Xiruo seems to be very protective of his younger brother, and he is willing to kneel down and become a slave in order to save others. Regardless of whether he is sincere or acting, at least one thing is certain. If Zan Xiruo cannot go, a seriously injured Lun Qinling will not be a threat in the past.
There are also benefits.
Seeing Qin Huaidao make his decision, the brothers said no more.
Not long after, Qin Huaidao asked someone to prepare a carriage, write a letter, and asked Zan Xiruo to choose two servants to drive the horse to escort him. If he went there by himself, he would not have enough troops to arrange an escort.
As Lun Qinling left Luoxue City in a carriage, he thought about his brother's analysis of the situation these days and the future of his family, feeling very heavy.
Running all the way, they came to the city at night and showed the letter. The gatekeeper quickly found Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu was not sure after reading the letter and found Xue Rengui. Xue Rengui saw that it was an autographed letter from Qin Huaidao.
The attitude of the army was to have the city gates opened immediately to let them pass.
The carriage continued walking along the official road for about half an hour, and came to a huge military camp. Soldiers came up to intercept and investigate. When they saw that it was Lun Qinling, they did not dare to neglect and quickly let them go while arranging for someone to report the news.
Lun Qinling's uncle Jiumoji was discussing matters with his subordinates in the golden tent. When he heard that Lun Qinling was coming, his heart skipped a beat. If he hadn't been captured by the Tang army, how could he have come here? He realized that it was not easy, so he thought about it and did not let the generals leave.
, it’s better to explain some things clearly in person.
Everyone was also curious about why Qin Ling came here, and they all looked outside the tent.
Not long after, Lun Qinling came in with the support of two domestic slaves. He had just recovered from his injuries and had not yet fully recovered. The bumpy journey almost cost him half his life. His face turned pale and he was a little unsteady on his feet.
Sitting on a wool blanket by the campfire.
Everyone was a little confused when they saw that the once high-spirited Lun Qinling had turned into this.
Jiumoji asked with concern: "Is it okay?"
"It doesn't matter, let's drink it first." Lun Qinling waved his hand and took the butter tea that was handed over. After a few sips, his heart felt a lot warmer, and then he said: "Everyone is here, just in time, let's open up about some things.
Say, decide for yourself where to go.”
Everyone looked at Lun Qinling, with some more guesses in their minds.
Jiumoji asked bluntly: "Are you here to be a lobbyist for the Tang army?"
"Uncle, he said something harsh." Lun Qinling waved his hand, drank a few more sips of butter tea to soothe his throat, and felt better. He continued, "Although I was defeated and captured, and my family lost face, so I have no right to say anything, but this time I represent
My brother is here, there is something I want to explain clearly to everyone."
When everyone heard it, they were praising Xiruo. Xiruo was the master of Lu Dongzan's true biography. His talent and knowledge were convincing. He had great status and influence in the family. He was also the young patriarch of the family. When Lu Dongzan was away, the family relied on him.
When Zan Xiruo decided, everyone pricked up their ears, and even Jiumoji became serious.
Lun Qinling knew that he was defeated and no one would listen to what he said, so he used his brother's name. Seeing that the effect was good, he continued: "Uncle, uncles and clan members, there are some things you may not know yet. The Northern Army Tenzin was
We killed 40,000 of the 100,000-strong army, and the remaining 60,000 surrendered to the Tang army, while the northern army Phuntsok waited and watched."
"What?"
Everyone was shocked and had no information. They really didn't know about this situation. This was the reason why everyone stood still. They wanted to find out the situation first before making a decision. This news shocked everyone and made them feel complicated.
Jiumozhi also became nervous and asked: "What's the situation of Tang Jun now?"
"Uncle, don't worry, listen to me." Lun Qinling interrupted. He looked at everyone and saw that his military talents were not as good as his own. Although his strength was as high as 200,000, if a war really started, death would not be far away. The family would not be far away from now on.
Declined, feeling a little bitter in my heart.
After thinking about it, Lun Qinling no longer hesitated and continued: "The remaining 100,000 troops of the Northern Army remained stationary. There was no threat. Duoji, the Western Army, led 50,000 troops and surrendered directly. He killed Tenzin and handed over a surrender certificate. The Tang Army
All the 20,000 captives were given to Dorje. Dorje has led his troops back, and there is no threat from the west. Only the east is left. You guys, these 200,000 people, the Tang army has freed up. You are no match, don't believe it."
Someone said dissatisfiedly: "He, Tang Jun, also has a head, and he will die just as easily with one knife. What are you afraid of?"
Lun Qinling looked at the other party and was too lazy to explain. He looked at Jiumoji and continued: "Uncle, let me emphasize once again that this trip is not to persuade you to surrender or to be a disgusting lobbyist. It is up to you to make your own choice. It is just to come here on behalf of your brother.
Say a few words and then leave."
"Say." Jiumozhi became serious.
Others also had a premonition that something was wrong, and they all pricked up their ears. Even those who were dissatisfied just shut up.
Lun Qinling organized his thoughts and said slowly: "The Tang army descended from the sky. No one knows what magic they used. Officials in the court have been guessing. I have also asked carefully. They said that the gods descended to earth at night to punish Luo Xuecheng.
The explosion collapsed, and most of the nearly 30,000 defenders in the city were killed or injured. Immediately afterwards, the Tang army rushed into the city and captured Luoche City in one night, everyone."
"How is it possible for gods to come down to earth and be punished by landing?" Many people have raised questions. Although they believe in Buddhism, no one believes it if they have never seen it.
Lun Qinling didn't believe it at first, and he still doesn't understand what happened. But as a famous general with a name in history, his military ability is still very high. He guessed that it was some kind of weapon, but this guess made Lun Qinling feel more and more chilled.
Worried, he said bluntly: "You don't believe it is normal, and I don't believe it either, but it is indeed a fact. If the gods descended to earth to assist the Tang army, it would be God's will to return Tubo to the Tang Dynasty. God's will cannot be violated. If not, it means that the Tang army has a method that can be used from high altitudes.
Advanced means of attack, what will you do if the camp is suddenly attacked?"
Everyone was shocked and looked at each other.
Everyone already believes in Buddhism, believes in providence, destiny, and seeks good luck in the next life. Naturally, it is easier to accept the idea of gods descending to earth. Is it possible that gods really want Tubo to return to the Tang Dynasty?
Some people present who did not believe in gods were also panicking. The Tang army could actually fly into the sky and attack from the air. How could they fight? If they attacked suddenly while everyone was asleep, wouldn't they die without knowing it?
No matter what the outcome was, everyone became uneasy and looked at Jiumoji.
Jiumoji was also worried that since the Tang army was in the air, he could only be beaten, and an army of 200,000 could not withstand several rounds of attacks. If it was God's will, it would be even more terrible. He asked: "What does your brother mean?"
"Brother said that the matter is of great importance, involving everyone's future and interests, and everyone can make their own decision." Lun Qinling did Tai Chi, and continued without directly expressing his attitude: "Brother asked me to tell everyone that in addition to punishment from heaven, Tang Jun has control over
A terrible weapon that can shoot continuously and very fast. In a field battle, ten thousand people are as good as fifty thousand people. If you defend a city, ten thousand people are as good as one hundred thousand people. So I lost. I was defeated by such a big weapon.
As for the killing weapon, Tenzin was also defeated. If you think you can fight, you can give it a try."
"A killer weapon that can be fired continuously? How fast?"
After all, Jiumozhi was a veteran general. He had guarded the border for many years and had many dealings with the Tang army. However, he did not know about this powerful weapon and took it seriously.
