Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1470 Negotiation
Rumors had already spread in Luoxie City, and Lu Dongzan already knew that the rumors had spread, and he had nothing to do about it.

There is no way to stop the spread of rumors, unless Zamp returns to logic, all rumors will be self-defeating.

Moreover, this cannot be regarded as rumors, because these rumors are all facts.

"Princess, Princess Zhenzhu is here!" The attendant hurried in to report.

Princess Zhenzhu must have heard those rumors, Lu Dongzan stood up with some headaches and walked out.

Just as Lu Dongzan walked out to the door, Princess Zhenzhu had already walked in hurriedly.

"Meet the princess!" Lu Dongzan bowed slightly.

Princess Zhenzhu walked in and asked straight to the point: "Master, I heard there are rumors in the city that the army suffered a disastrous defeat. Is this true?"

Lu Dongzan nodded and said: "It should be true. I have interrogated many deserters, and what they said is similar, so it should be true. Not only did Zanpu's army fail to capture Xinghai City, but instead fell into the lure of the Tang army. Count, caught in a tight siege."

Unexpectedly, the rumors turned out to be true, Princess Zhenzhu lost her voice: "How could this be?"

Lu Dongzan couldn't help but smiled wryly after hearing this: "No one thought that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would have the courage to let Su Cheng be the bait, let alone that Su Cheng would agree. Annihilate our army, so we must be prepared to encircle, once the army is caught in the encirclement, it will be dangerous, and the [-] army that went out this time is almost lost."

"What about my brother? Did my brother also rush out? Since someone escaped, then my brother, Zanpu, must be able to escape too, right?" Princess Zhenzhu asked quickly, she doesn't care about Dajun now Casualties, she only cares about whether her brother has escaped or not.

Lu Dongzan murmured: "According to those deserters, after they escaped from the siege, they were chased by more than one cavalry. If Zanpu fell into the Tang army, then the Tang army would not send cavalry to chase and search overnight. Therefore, I speculate that Zamp may have broken through the encirclement."

"I interrogated four waves of deserters in total, and one wave of deserters said they rushed out following Zanpu's personal guards, but they said they didn't see Zanpu among the personal guards."

"On the contrary, this proves my opinion. If the situation is critical, with Zanpu's quick-wittedness, he can change his armor and mix in with the guards. This way, it is easy to find an opportunity to rush out without attracting attention."

Hearing this, Princess Zhenzhu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. The loss of this expedition will be heavy, as long as her brother escapes and comes back.

Even if the army suffers heavy losses, there is no fear of national subjugation. The elder brother is still Zanpu. In the future, as long as the elder brother does not provoke Datang, Tubo can still enjoy peace and prosperity.

Princess Zhenzhu asked suspiciously: "Since my brother escaped from the siege of the Tang army, why hasn't my brother returned to Luoxie City?"

Lu Dongzan's face was still very solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "This is just my speculation, and after Zanpu broke out of the siege, he was not safe. The Tang army sent cavalry to pursue him overnight, and more than one wave of cavalry pursued him. "

Princess Zhenzhu, who was relieved at first, suddenly raised her heart again, and said worriedly: "Since these deserters can escape, then brother must be able to do the same?"

Lu Dongzan murmured, "It's hard to say. They were all chased by more than one wave of cavalry from the Tang Dynasty. It was a fluke to escape. Zanpu hasn't come back now. There are two possibilities."

"One possibility is that Zanpu led his personal guards to avoid the pursuit of the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty. If the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty wanted to pursue them, they would definitely pursue them in the direction of Tubo. Maybe Zanpu would do the opposite. So, Zanpu Pucai has not come back for a long time."

"There is another possibility that Zanpu has already..."

In the end, Lu Dongzan didn't say anything more. Although Tubo had just established a state and didn't have as many rules and taboos as Tang Dynasty, he couldn't say some things directly.

For a moment, Princess Zhenzhu was in a state of confusion. It would be fine if her elder brother didn't rush back just to avoid Tang Jun's pursuit, but if her elder brother was really captured by Datang, what should I do?
When her brother went to war, she once prayed that Su Cheng and her brother would not be harmed, because one was her favorite person and the other was her closest relative.

Unexpectedly, what she was most worried about happened.

What can we do?

If her brother was really captured by Tang Jun, would it be useful for her to ask Su Cheng?
It must be useless, because Su Cheng is only a courtier after all, not the emperor. If Su Cheng let his brother go, then even the emperor would not be able to keep Su Cheng, because it would be a heinous crime.

Princess Zhenzhu said in a deep voice: "What is the Prime Minister's plan? Are you just waiting like this? If my brother takes a detour to avoid the pursuit of the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, then my brother is still in danger, and we should send troops to go ahead." Go and answer!"

"If, if my brother is lost in the Tang army, then we should send troops to rescue him before he is sent to Chang'an!"

Lu Dongzan said in a deep voice: "Princess, if you want to mobilize three to five thousand soldiers, I can do it, but if you mobilize troops from various places, I don't have the right even though I am the Prime Minister!"

"Besides, mobilizing the army is not something that will happen overnight. We must make a lot of preparations for the expedition. In fact, if Zanpu is really lost in the Tang army, then it will be too late for us to mobilize the army."

"Xinghai is not far from Longyou. Tang Jun will definitely send Zanpu to Chang'an immediately. The best way is to send envoys to Chang'an, show sincerity, profess ministers to Datang, and beg Datang to release him. Zamp. Maybe it will work."

Princess Zhenzhu said in a deep voice: "So, after all, what the Minister means is that we still have to wait?"

Lu Dongzan shook his head slowly and said: "No, not just waiting, we should send troops. If Zanpu is not captured by the Tang army, then our sending troops will attract the attention of the Tang army and create opportunities for Zanpu to return to Tibet."

Finally heard some good news, Princess Zhenzhu said earnestly: "I hope the prime minister can send troops as soon as possible, and when my brother returns to Tubo smoothly, he will never forget the great prime minister's contribution!"

After finishing speaking, Princess Zhenzhu solemnly bowed to Lu Dongzan.

Lu Dongzan quickly bowed to return the salute, and said in a deep voice, "Princess, don't worry, I will definitely send troops to rescue Zanpu as soon as possible. Zanpu is a member of the Li people. Even if I, Lu Dongzan, am crushed to pieces, I will definitely rescue Zanpu."

"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Princess Zhenzhu bowed again.

After listening to Lu Dongzan's assurance, her uneasy heart finally settled down a lot. Lu Dongzan is a capable minister so he will be able to rescue her brother. His brother has always valued Lu Dongzan so much. Lu Dongzan will definitely not let down his brother's trust. .
