Chapter 2104 Let's wait for the commander to see the trend of Tubo
Qiongbo Bangse looked at Zampu, who was less than half his age, but had a deep scheming mind and superb methods.
Finally, he bowed respectfully to Songtsen Gampo, with a very loyal and solemn expression.
"How dare I disobey Zanpu's will?"
"Please rest assured Zanpu, with your ministers here, Xiang Xiong will definitely not be able to cause chaos."
Songtsen Gampo helped Qiongpo Bangse, who was bowing down, and seemed to be very sincere and sincere.
"With the words of the Prime Minister, I feel much more at ease."
This pair of monarchs and ministers, who had their own secrets, seemed so deeply affectionate at this moment that the waiters on the side almost believed that the two of them were in love with each other and were side by side.
Until Qiong Bo Bangse respectfully left the tent with a face full of emotion, and saw Zamp's face that quickly darkened, tsk... it all seemed real.
After a short meeting, a group of Tibetan civil and military personnel once again entered the big tent, and Songtsen Gampo, who had already taken the medicine and seemed much more energetic, issued the order in a calm and almost waveless tone.
The imperial ministers on the side expressed their indignation that Da Lun, Ci Dan, and Shan Zeng had underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, accidentally entering the Tang Dynasty's ambush, resulting in their defeat and capture.
Of course, he also criticized the southern Kelsang native for not strictly guarding Tsavajong City, which allowed the Subi tribes to attack calmly.
In short, after the cooperation of the monarch and his ministers, he just wanted to tell the civil and military officers who followed the army north to understand.
It's not that our Tubo soldiers are not elite enough, it's just the situation caused by those stupid Shangguan and the city guards who are greedy for life and fear of death.
In addition, the order appointing Naqiong Bo Bangse as the commander-in-chief of Xiangxiong was also made public.
It was only then that Songtsen Gampo's eyes slowly fell on the deputy marshal Ding'ai.
"Deputy Marshal..."
"Your Majesty, what are your orders from Zanpu?" Dingai quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully and asked.
Looking at the deputy marshal who was wearing the same trousers as Naqiong Bobang, Songtsen Gampo spoke slowly.
"...At midnight tonight, the Marshal and the Prime Minister will lead their troops and horses to leave one after another, and I will lead the main force of the army to retreat."
"I will leave eight thousand elite troops behind and hand them over to the deputy marshal, who will be responsible for breaking up the rear."
Hearing this, Deputy Marshal Ding'ai raised his head in astonishment and looked at Zampo Songtsen Gampo, who had an expression as old as time.
Then he subconsciously glanced at Qiongbo Bangse next to him from the corner of his eye, but Qiongbo Bangse just gave him an almost imperceptible look.
What else could Dingai say after reacting? After thinking about it, he could only bite the bullet and said.
"Zanpu, it is my duty to cut off the queen."
Songtsen Gampo nodded slightly with satisfaction.
"The deputy marshal of the capital is really my official official in Tubo. Now that the deputy marshal of the capital has taken over the important task, I can rest assured."
Next, military orders came out one after another from the big tent and were passed to each camp.
They were ordered to prepare quickly, but the tents standing in front of the camp and within sight of Naluyi City would not be demolished.
Instead, we must stay here to be on guard against the Tang army and the Tuyuhun people seeing the true nature of the Tubo camp.
#####
"Hey, what do these Tubo guys want to do?"
A brigade commander standing on the sentry tower on the city wall, holding a precious pair of telescopes, was carefully observing the Tibetan camp.
When I saw the Tubo camp becoming increasingly noisy, with people and horses coming and going non-stop, I couldn't help but feel a little scared.
But the Tibetan army showed no sign of leaving the camp, so the brigade commander finally controlled his urge to sound the alarm.
After lunch, Li Ji, wearing a helmet and armor, rushed towards the north wall of Naluyi City again.
Li Ji's expression was very serious and rigid, as if he should avoid strangers, because he really didn't want to talk to anyone.
The generals of Tuyuhun cried as they approached, hoping that the Tang Dynasty could stay and stand shoulder to shoulder with the Tuyuhun people, advancing and retreating together.
As soon as the generals of the Tang Dynasty approached, they began to whisper to each other, hoping that Li Ji would take advantage of the time limit given by Tubo to quickly lead the Tang Dynasty to evacuate Luyi City.
Even if he loses Nalu Yi City, Wu Bi of the Tang Dynasty can at least preserve his strength in such an offensive and defensive battle with a huge disparity in strength.
After withdrawing, it can cover the Tuyuhun royal family's retreat to the Tang Dynasty. In this way, even the Tubo can occupy Tuyuhun.
But when the Tang Dynasty took care of Xue Yantuo in the north, turned around, and then took care of the Tubo people, it would definitely be a sure thing to hold the snails with three fingers.
Having said that, Li Ji always felt that he was very angry. As a famous general of the Tang Dynasty who had been on the battlefield and experienced hundreds of battles.
He almost never retreated without a fight, but now, he was in a dilemma, and Li Ji was very hesitant.
Should I withdraw from Nalu Yi City to save the lives of the Tang soldiers, or should I lead the soldiers in a desperate fight?
Just when Li Ji had just climbed to the top of the city, a horse galloped from behind. Murong Dang, the general from Tuyuhun, jumped off his horse and shouted loudly.
"Li Bingbu, Li Bingbu, please stay."
"What's the matter, General Murong?" Li Ji turned around and looked at the Tuguhun guard of Naluyi City, twitching the corners of his mouth with a smile on his face.
Murong Dang quickly walked up to the top of the city, saluted Li Ji, and said with great joy.
"Li Bingbu, the leader of our country has sent reinforcements. They will arrive at Naluyi City soon. In this way, our army will be greatly strengthened and will not be afraid of Tibet."
Zheng Langjiang on the side couldn't help but interject.
"General Murong, how many troops and horses has your country sent?"
"Back to General Zheng Lang, the leader of our country has sent three thousand elite troops."
"..." Li Ji and Zheng Lang's expressions froze, and their elites were just like Tuyuhun's current fighting strength.
I'm afraid even the five hundred elites of the Tang Dynasty can make your three thousand elites scream and roll around, okay?
But seeing the other party's extremely excited look, Li Ji really couldn't put down the other party's enthusiasm and smiled happily at him.
He patted Murongdang's shoulder with a big hand and said in a deep voice.
"Then General Lao Murong will quickly lead the soldiers and horses into the city. With these three thousand elites, I will indeed be more confident in the defense of Nalu Yi City."
"Promise!" After hearing this, Murong Dang excitedly agreed loudly, then ran down the city wall, hit his horse and galloped away.
"Commander, do we really want to stay?" Zheng Langjiang looked at Murongdang's excited figure and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.
"Let's take a look first. It's not dark yet, why are you panicking?" Li Ji glanced at General Zheng helplessly, turned around and walked quickly.
He knew very well that General Zheng Lang, who had several scars on his face, was by no means a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, but he felt that his and Pao Ze's lives were precious.
