Chapter 388 Where to Go

Looking at his sons and subordinates kneeling in front of him, who were in a state of panic, Lu Dongzan felt like vomiting blood.

According to the battle plan they had formulated, as long as Zanpo and his men could hold back the two armies of the Tang Dynasty, he and his second son Lun Qinling would personally lead the troops to attack Tuyuhun.

Even if there was still a Tang army in Tuyuhun to help Tuyuhun, it didn't matter. He could use the traitors in Tuyuhun to alienate the relationship between Tuyuhun and the Tang Dynasty.

Separating the Tuyuhun army from the Tang army, Tubo would be able to annex Tuyuhun in a few years. With Tuyuhun, they would have a stronger strength to fight against the Tang Dynasty.

Plans can never keep up with changes, but he didn't expect the changes to be so fast, so fast that he didn't know how to deal with it.

When they first attacked Tuyuhun, they did win victory after victory according to the plan, and Tuyuhun couldn't raise its head. Although the fight was harder than expected, it was still within the tolerance range.

Later, the joining of the Tang army stopped their progress, but the Tang army didn't get any advantage, and they were repelled by their counterattacks many times.

Although the joining of the Tang army made it more difficult, they still had hope of victory. Tuyuhun was just relying on the Tang army to survive.

What Lu Dongzan didn't expect was that the other two armies were beaten to the point of doubting their lives.

"Tell me, what happened? Why did you end up like this? Dagu Rishi, you tell me first, what happened? Where is Deputy Prime Minister Dayan Mangbuzhi?" Lu Dongzan slammed the table and said. "

Deputy Prime Minister Dayan Mangbuzhi was attacked and killed in the battle with the Tang army! The Tang army we met used a weapon with a short range and great power, so our army was defeated." Xi Duoyu told Lu Dongzan everything that happened during the battle with the Tang army that day.

Lu Dongzan frowned after hearing this. Although the Tang army was well-equipped, he had never heard of such a weapon. He had fought with the Tang army before, but he had never seen the Tang army use such a weapon.

"Qinling, have you seen the Tang army use such a weapon in Chang'an?" Lu Dongzan turned around and looked at Lun Qinling and asked.

Lun Qinling had studied in Chang'an for several years, and his understanding of the Tang Dynasty was naturally not comparable to that of people like Lu Dongzan.

Lun Qinling thought about it, and finally shook his head and said, "I have studied in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty for several years, and I have never seen such a strange weapon, let alone heard of it, let alone seen it."

After listening to Lun Qinling, Lu Dongzan felt that Xi Duoyu was deceiving him, and in order to shirk the responsibility of his defeat, he put the blame on the weapons of the Tang army. This weapon was probably imagined by Xi Duoyu himself.

At least that's what Lu Dongzan thought. After all, Lun Qinling, who was familiar with the Tang Dynasty, said that there was no such weapon, so of course there was no such weapon, otherwise there would be no clues.

"Zhengzan Zangdun, what about you? What happened? How could we be defeated so badly and the wolf escaped back?" Lu Dongzan asked.

Xiduoyu's question was put aside for the time being. He wanted to ask Zanpo what was going on first.

"Dad! We were attacked by the Tang army on the way, so I ordered the formation to fight against the Tang army. Later, we fell into the trap of the Tang army, and Batishe's troops were ambushed by the Tang army."

"After a hard battle, we finally escaped. Later, our army was attacked by the Tang army at night." Zanpo told them everything they encountered at that time.

Lu Dongzan found out from what Zan Po said that the Tang army they met was actually using the same novel weapon as the Tang army Xi Duoyu met.

"You are simply stupid, Dagu Ri called you a fool, and you are all good-for-nothings." Lu Dongzan pointed at the people kneeling in front of him and roared.

"You have at least 80,000 soldiers in total. Even if they are 80,000 pigs, they are enough for the Tang army to capture for more than half a year."

"You are not even as good as pigs. All 80,000 soldiers were lost on the way to charge. In one day, you were all defeated, and you were defeated so badly." Lu Dongzan cursed angrily.

"Dad! What are our plans next?" asked Lu Dongzan's eldest son, Geer Zan Xiruoduobu.

The current situation is not conducive to their continued attack. The two Tubo armies were annihilated, which has affected the morale of the army. There is no benefit for them to fight to the end.

"Why not contact the pro-Tubo faction in Tuyuhun and let them cooperate with us to capture Tuyuhun and defeat the Tang army." Ba Dishe suggested.

"No! If we capture Tuyuhun, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction with the Tang Dynasty. At that time, it will be disadvantageous to us to send more troops."

"If we cannot defeat the remaining two Tang armies, once our army's retreat is cut off, even if we capture Tuyuhun, it will be a dead end." Lun Qinling objected.

If they really did what Badishe said, and united with the pro-Tubo Tuyuhun people to attack from the inside and outside, they would be able to break through Tuyuhun.

But this would inevitably attract the attention of the Tang emperor, and then the Tang emperor would send more troops.

As long as one of the two troops stationed in Dafeichuan and Heyuan went around behind them, they would be cut off from returning.

Under the encirclement of the Tang army, they would fight alone and have only one way to die. Once their retreat was cut off, the people in Tubo who were hostile to them would take the opportunity to seize power and stand by and watch.

Lu Dongzan admired Lun Qinling very much. He knew in his heart that Lun Qinling was telling the truth. Once their retreat was cut off, they would really die without a burial place.

"Then what should we do? Just withdraw to Tubo?" Zanpo asked. He was unwilling to retreat like this.

"Now we can only temporarily avoid the sharp edge and retreat backwards. We must ensure that our retreat is not cut off. At the same time, we can also ask for help from the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." Lun Qinling said. "

Ask for help?" Everyone was puzzled. They didn't understand the purpose of Lun Qinling's doing this. Would the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty listen to you?

"That's right! It's to ask for help!" Lun Qinling explained his plan in detail to everyone. He just wanted to confuse the Tang Dynasty in this way.

Let them mistakenly think that Tubo's military action this time was just to scare Tuyuhun. Who knew that Tuyuhun took it seriously!

Finally, the two sides fought, and Tubo was defeated. Tuyuhun took advantage of the situation and wanted to attack Qisu. Tubo was now in danger and hoped that the Tang emperor would send someone to mediate. Tubo was willing to compensate Tuyuhun for its losses.

In short, they had to lower their posture and let the Tang Dynasty believe in their "sincerity". As long as this goal could be achieved, the Tang Dynasty would stop its military assistance to Tuyuhun.

As long as the Tang Dynasty sent envoys, they only needed to delay the envoys and continue to attack Tuyuhun until Tuyuhun was destroyed.

By the time the Tang people reacted, it was too late. Tubo had already annexed Tuyuhun, and they no longer had to fear the Tang Dynasty.
