Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1468 Shocked
This battle has achieved such a great result, of course Li Shimin must send someone to publicize it. In fact, there is no need for people to deliberately publicize it. The results of this battle spread quickly, because the people in Chang'an looking forward to.

Beheaded more than 7 people!
More than 1 captured!

Songtsen Gampo was almost captured alive!

The people in Chang'an City were stunned when they heard the news. They knew that a great victory had been achieved, but what they didn't expect was that the great victory was beyond imagination.

After knowing the results of this great victory, the people of Chang'an City were even more excited, feeling a sense of revenge.

Aren't the Tubo envoys quite arrogant? If you have the ability, come to Chang'an and try again, and see if you Tubo people can still become arrogant.

Then they also knew why this great victory achieved such a great result. It turned out that they used a trick to lure the Tubo army. It was slaughtered cleanly.

Even Songtsen Gampo was lured to come, but unfortunately, the old boy was allowed to escape, otherwise, Xieli should have a companion.

Aside from being excited, the people of Chang'an were also very moved. Su Cheng, as a duke who has made great contributions, and as the emperor's favorite son-in-law, actually used it as a bait to lure the enemy. His mind and courage are really amazing.

However, what made them even more emotional was that Su Cheng's attraction was so great that he even attracted Tubo Zanpu. It was a pity that Songtsan Gampo escaped.

Of course, they were also a little worried. The emperor was not afraid that Su Cheng would really be taken away. Su Cheng was Datang's treasure.

Just when the people in Chang'an were elated because of the great victory, dozens of cavalry rushed into the Tubo king's city Luoxie.

Songtsan Gampo led the army, and all the political affairs of Tubo were handed over to the Prime Minister Lu Dongzan.

Although Lu Dongzan was known as a virtuous minister, he was too busy to deal with such a big mess of political affairs, but he also felt a different feeling.

Different from the feeling of being under one person and above ten thousand people in the past, it was only now that he realized the absolute power and absolute control. That feeling is really memorable.

Therefore, even though he was very tired, Lu Dongzan was still full of energy.

"Report, please tell the Prime Minister that a troop of cavalry entered the city. They said they came back from the battlefield of Tuyuhun, and said, said..."

Lu Dongzan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said in a deep voice, "What are you talking about?"

"Say, our army has been defeated!"

"The army was defeated? Didn't the [-] iron cavalry capture Xinghai City?" Lu Dongzan murmured.

When Zanpu led the expedition, he thought that this expedition might be defeated, because Datang is really very powerful.

Because of such psychological preparation, Lu Dongzan was not very shocked.

"Did Zanpu send them back? Then bring them here quickly." Lu Dongzan said in a deep voice.

"Prime Minister, Zanpu didn't send them back, they escaped directly from the battlefield."

Lu Dongzan couldn't help being furious when he heard this, and shouted: "Escape directly from the battlefield? Then why don't you put them in prison and wait for disposal! No, wait a minute, let's bring them here first, and ask the truth." The situation on the battlefield."

Soon a man who looked like a centurion was brought in. Lu Dongzan looked up and frowned deeply.

Because the centurion's face was ashamed and desperate, it was not just a simple defeat, as if he had received a huge blow.

Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. How can you lose courage and morale because of a defeat in a war?

This is what Lu Dongzan feels most dissatisfied with.

"Are you still a Tubo warrior? Are you still a Tubo warrior who can fight well? You escaped directly from the battlefield? Do you have the face to face your family?" Lu Dongzan scolded in a deep voice.

"Prince, it's not that we want to escape from the battlefield. There is really no other way! The [-] army has been wiped out, and it is useless for us to stay in Tuyuhun! We might as well come back and report the news!" the centurion said. Shen Sheng argued.

Lu Dongzan's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he asked, "What did you say? The entire army of one hundred thousand troops was wiped out? How is this possible?"

Although he thought that the army might lose, he never thought that the entire army would be wiped out.

After all, it was an army of [-], and Zanpu led the army himself, so how could the entire army be wiped out?
Even if the Tang army returned to aid in time, even if the returning Tang army defeated the army, it would not be annihilated.

"Prince, it's true, I dare not lie!" The centurion said hastily.

Lu Dongzan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, and said in a deep voice: "The truth orders you to follow the original path of the expedition!"

"Zanpu led the reinforcement cavalry directly to Tuyuhun King City, and then Zanpu ordered a cavalry to disguise as the main force to attract the attention of the main force of the Tang army, while Zanpu personally led the army straight to Xinghai City, and sent Xing Haicheng is surrounded." The centurion said in a deep voice.

Lu Dongzan couldn't help nodding slightly when he heard this, it was just as he thought, there was nothing wrong with it.

The centurion continued: "Then we started to attack the city. At first, everyone thought it would not be difficult to capture Xinghai City. After all, it was a hundred thousand cavalry. Who would have thought that Xinghai City's muskets and artillery were really powerful. After six or seven days of fierce attack, it seemed that we could conquer the top of the city, but we still failed to do so.”

"Then the scouts discovered that Tang troops had appeared on the west, north, and south sides, and the three Great Tang armies unexpectedly came back at the same time and surrounded our army."

Lu Dongzan was not surprised to hear that the army had never captured Xinghai City, because he had thought about this possibility before, but when he heard that the Tang army had appeared on three sides and they were encircling them, he was surprised. His complexion changed dramatically.

"The three Tang armies returned to aid at the same time, and formed a siege? How could it be such a coincidence?" Lu Dongzan asked.

The centurion sighed: "It's not a coincidence. It was a trap from the beginning to the end. Su Cheng led the Shenji Battalion to station Xinghai City. It was actually a bait to lure our Tubo soldiers to attack, and then the three Tang troops completed the encirclement."

"What? Is this a trap? Su Cheng is the bait?" Lu Dongzan felt very unbelievable.

How can this be?

Su Cheng made outstanding contributions in the Tang Dynasty and was the emperor's favorite son-in-law. How could he go to Xinghai City as a bait?
How could the emperor of the Tang Dynasty be willing to let Su Cheng be the bait?
The centurion nodded and said, "Yes, this is a trap. Su Cheng guarding Xinghai City is the bait, as Zanpu said."

"It's just that we knew too late, the Tang army had already completed the encirclement."
