Chapter 2109 My commander wants to withdraw his troops, so he came to meet the Tubo king
But the problem is that Zampu left himself, the dignified deputy marshal of Tubo, here as his backer.
That being the case, do I need to care about the attitudes of the four reserve households?
Dingai murmured something in his heart, but on the surface he showed no emotion at all, discussing in a low voice with the four Qianhu who led the main soldiers.
"Zanpu only asked us to stay for three days, so based on this calculation, we actually only need to stay for today and tomorrow.
On the last night, we can also follow Zamp's example and leave at night. I wonder what the deputy marshal thinks?"
"Yes, the general also thinks that this is the best thing to do. What we are facing is the British Duke, the most famous general in the Tang Dynasty."
"With just the few troops we have, it's still possible to rouse suspicion..."
The person who spoke was none other than a Qianhu who followed the former prime minister Shang Nang, whose entire family was killed by Songtsen Gampo, to fight with the Tang army in Yazhou, west of Shu.
He dealt with this man with great wit and clever tactics, using only a small number of soldiers and horses.
The tens of thousands of troops under the command of Prime Minister Shang Nang, who was both civil and military, were firmly blocked in Yazhou, unable to advance even an inch.
That time, he, Qianhu, suffered a lot in that war.
Not only him, but also a group of Tubo generals became unruly and domineering after they dominated the plateau in the past.
I always feel that all the heroes in the world are nothing more than this kind of mentality, and they were all tortured so hard that life would be worse than death.
We were more than ten times outnumbered by the enemy before, and with the wise and powerful Zanpu leading the troops, I didn't think it was a big deal.
But right now, there are only four thousand soldiers left. The remaining four thousand miscellaneous soldiers are just filling up the numbers, okay?
#####
Just when this Qianhu was thinking wildly and others were communicating in low voices, someone came to report that an envoy had been sent from Naluyi City.
On the orders of Li Ji, Minister of War of the Tang Dynasty, I wanted to see Zanpu.
The moment he heard the news, Deputy Marshal Dingai's first thought was, Oh no.
The four Qianhu under his command could not help but change their expressions, and they all looked at Dingai.
"Deputy Marshal, what should we do?"
"Don't panic, let me think carefully first..."
Dingai raised his hand to signal everyone not to mess up, while he used his brains to consider how to deal with it...
Last night, Li Ji rejected Zanpu's kindness and did not send an envoy. Instead, he sent an envoy this time. Is it possible...
The resourceful and famous general of the Tang Dynasty had already noticed the unusual movements in the Tubo camp, so he specially ordered people to come and test it.
"The deputy marshal asked the general to go and drive away the envoy, and then told him that Zampu did not want to see them."
A Qianhu quickly stood up and offered advice to Dingai, and the other three also spoke in agreement.
After all, Zampu has already left, and the envoy from the Tang Army has been allowed to enter the camp. Wouldn't the truth in the camp have to be discovered by the opponent?
"No need, I'll go there myself." Dingai, who can be the deputy marshal of the capital, is not too bad.
If he randomly sent a Qianhu to go there, the resourceful Li Ji would probably guess something.
And if he, the deputy marshal of the Tubo capital, showed up in person, it would give the envoy of the Tang army the illusion that he was communicating with him on Zanpu's order.

General Zheng Lang did not wait long outside the closed camp gate before he saw the camp gate open, and a Tibetan general wearing iron armor came out of the camp surrounded by thousands of Tibetan households.
Dingai looked at this fat and strong general of the Tang Dynasty, exchanged a few words, and then went straight to the topic.
"I am here to meet the Lord of your country by order of the commander-in-chief."
"General Zheng Lang, my lord has an order. The British Lord was unwilling to withdraw his troops from Naluyi City last night. My lord delayed the deadline again for the sake of the friendship between Tibet and the Tang Dynasty."
"I don't know that Zheng Lang will come at this time, but because the British Lord is willing to withdraw from Nalu Post City."
"Exactly." Zheng Langjiang nodded vigorously and replied.
"???" Dingai and the four Tubo Qianhu all looked at the serious General Zheng Lang in confusion.
The scene suddenly became cold, as if the harsh winter had arrived early, and the snow foam seemed to have turned into ice knives.
The scratched little liver seemed to suddenly become bloody.
Although his expression was strong and calm, his mind was in a mess at the moment.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Zheng, do you know what you are talking about?"
When General Zheng Lang saw that these Tubo generals looked like a bunch of stupid geese, he twisted his mouth and almost burst into laughter.
"Of course I know this. This is the order of my commander-in-chief himself. I also ask General Ding'ai to tell the king of your country."
"..." Dingai stared blankly at this serious Tang general.
Can you Tang people stop making trouble? I just agreed yesterday that you will fight to the end.
As a result, my Zanpu has already led his men and horses towards the south. Now you tell me that you agree to withdraw from Naluyi City?
What, what if I, Tubo, are a young lady with beautiful features and beautiful clothes who don’t cover her body, and you can tease her repeatedly with your sexy tricks?
"General Ding'ai, what's wrong with you?"
"No, wait a minute. Didn't you want to fight Tibet with me yesterday? Why did you suddenly change your mind today?"
Seeing this Tibetan deputy marshal who was full of curiosity and insisted on asking the truth.
Zheng Langjiang touched his nose with some embarrassment and told a shocking reason.
"My commander-in-chief received news yesterday that King Tuyuhun sent a troop of troops and they will arrive in a few days, so my commander-in-chief wants to withdraw his troops."
"!!!" Dingai's face instantly turned black. At this moment, he really wanted to pick up a knife and fight this guy to death.
Does this look like something a human would do? Reinforcements are coming and you are going to run away?
#####
Ding Ai wiped his face vigorously, "Don't panic, let me smoke first, um, let me calm down, what the hell is going on."
"General Ding'ai, what's your expression? My commander is willing to withdraw from Naluyi City. Aren't you happy?"
After hearing General Zheng's urging, Dingai took a breath with toothache, wishing he could have a pair of flying wings.
Then he flew a hundred miles away to report the good news to Zamp, but the thought only flashed through his mind.
Dingai smiled coldly and narrowed his eyes tightly.
"Haha... Do you really think that we Tubo people are fools?"
"You actually used such a reason to tease my Zanpu, why don't you get out of here, otherwise..."
Seeing Dingai's face full of black lines as he tried to draw his sword, Zheng Lang rolled his eyes, turned around and jumped on the horse with great speed.
"Since you, Zanpu, are not happy to see me, then that's all."
As he spoke, he galloped away under the guard of those cavalrymen.
