Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1471 Conspiracy
It was already dark before Lu Dongzan returned to his mansion.

The prime minister's mansion was brightly lit, but Lu Dongzan's face was very gloomy, and he went straight to the study.

Qin Ling hurried over and said anxiously: "Father, I have already asked all the deserters, and they have no news of my brother."

Lu Dongzan couldn't help but shook his head slightly and sighed after hearing this: "The second brother's horse archery skills are poor, and his ability to lead troops in battle is also mediocre. This time the army failed to escape in nine out of ten, and the second child probably died on the battlefield! Sigh! Speaking of it, it’s all because I spoil him too much, otherwise, I might be able to escape!”

Qinling was dissatisfied when he heard this, and said, "If I say it, I should blame Zanpu. Zanpu knows that my younger brother is not capable, but he still wants to take his younger brother to the battle. Isn't it because he wants his younger brother to be a hostage, so he can guard against you!"

"Father, you have been loyal to Zanpu all these years, devoted your heart and soul to Tubo, and made great contributions to Tubo, so that Tubo is today. Zanpu is still on guard against you, and now you have killed your brother!"

Lu Dongzan waved his hands and said, "It's normal for a king to be on guard."

Qinling sneered and said: "Father, you are the prime minister who can pull a boat in your belly, I'm not that generous, but now it's better, Songtsen Gampo has also suffered retribution!"

After finishing speaking, Qin Ling quickly asked: "Father, do you think Songtsan Gampo can come back? He must have died in Xinghai City, right?"

Lu Dongzan shook his head slowly and said: "Although the army was almost wiped out, I think Zanpu should have escaped from the Tang army's breakout."

After hearing this, Qin Ling said unwillingly: "Even if he can escape from the encirclement of the Tang army, can he escape the pursuit of the Tang cavalry?"

Lu Dongzan nodded slowly and said: "Yes! Don't underestimate Zanpu too much. Although he has been reclusive in Luoxie City these years, his ability to lead troops and fight is not weak at all. With his ability, since If you can break out of the siege, you will definitely be able to escape the pursuit of the Tang army."

"Zanpu hasn't come back yet. He must have deliberately avoided Tang Jun and is now on his way back to Tibet."

Qin Ling looked disappointed: "That is to say, Zanpu will return to Luoxie soon?"

Lu Dongzan nodded slightly and said, "Although I'm not sure, it's very possible."

Qin Ling was silent for a moment, then whispered: "Father, do you want Zanpu to come back? Do you still want to be suppressed by Zanpu?"

Lu Dongzan's expression was still serious, without any change, he said slowly, "What do you mean?"

Qinling said in a deep voice: "Father, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! All the cities, even all the people in Tubo know that Zanpu has been surrounded by the Tang army, and they all know that Zanpu has been captured alive by the Tang army, or, already dead."

Lu Dongzan frowned, and said slowly: "Whether Zanpu is alive or dead, and whether he was captured alive by the Tang army, you will know if you wait."

Qin Ling anxiously said: "Father, why are you so confused? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If Songtsan Gampo is dead, that's good, but if Songtsan Gampo is not dead, then we will send him on his way!"

"It is impossible for Songtsan Gampo to have too many people around him now, and it is easy to cull them. Moreover, everyone will think that Zanpu died at the hands of the Datang people."

Lu Dongzan was still silent after hearing this, looking like he was in deep thought.

Seeing this, Qin Ling couldn't help being overjoyed. If the old man refused without even thinking about it, it would be useless.

Now the old man is silent because he is meditating, which means that the old man is actually a little moved.

How can you not be moved?This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

"Songtsan Gampo has only one son, and he is still in his infancy. If Songtsan Gampo dies, then this child who is still breastfeeding will inherit the Zanpu position. Father, as the prime minister, you will take over the military and political power. Who else dares to fight against our family? Get rid of dissidents, and within a few years, father will be able to stand on his own as Zanpu!" The more Qin Ling said, the more excited he became.

Lu Dongzan murmured: "Although our Ge Er family is noble, we are not as good as Zanpu. If we want to stand on our own as Zanpu, there will definitely be many people who will not accept it."

Qin Ling hurriedly persuaded: "There will be many people who will not accept it, but Dad, you also have many cronies. Besides, you didn't set up that baby boy as a buffer for Zanpu first. As the prime minister and regent, you take over the military and political power. With your means, is it not easy to cut off dissidents? After a few years, no one will object!"

"Father, you have worked hard all your life and made great contributions to Tubo. Do you want to be the prime minister under one person all your life? Think about it, if there is no hindrance, with your talents, you will definitely make Tubo unprecedentedly brilliant , will become the wisest monarch in history!"

"Also, it's not for yourself. Your children and grandchildren will become Zanpu, not just courtiers, and will even gradually decline."

"Father, don't hesitate any longer. The appearance of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is a sign from the heavens, and God's will cannot be violated! If you continue to hesitate like this, the opportunity will be fleeting!"

Lu Dongzan let out a long breath, and asked in a deep voice: "If you want to attack and kill Songtsan Gampo, you must be unaware. The most trustworthy people are the members of our Geer family. Only five thousand riders!"

Qin Ling was heartbroken when he heard this, and smiled, "Father, five thousand horses is enough! Songtsan Gampo escaped with only his bodyguards, and his bodyguards must have suffered a lot too. Five thousand horses is enough!" Enough to destroy them!"

Lu Dongzan said in a deep voice: "Don't underestimate Songtsan Gampo's ability to lead the army in battle, and don't underestimate the combat effectiveness of his personal guards. Moreover, we don't know if Songtsan Gampo has gathered some defeated soldiers."

"More importantly, you have to make sure that no one escapes. You must blame Tang Jun for Songtsen Gampo's murder. Once the news leaks out, it will be troublesome!"

Qin Ling nodded excitedly and said, "Don't worry dad, I understand, just wait for the good news!"

Lu Dongzan said in a deep voice: "Open the map!"

Qin Ling hurriedly stepped forward to unfold the map, and Lu Dongzan got up and went to the map and pondered: "If Songtsan Gampo avoided the Tang army by a detour, where would he choose to return to Tubo?"

"These roads are unlikely, because Songtsan Gampo will definitely be afraid of the Tang army's ambush. I think these two roads are the most likely. These two roads are very hidden and rugged, and it is impossible to garrison the army in ambush. .”

"You lead the troops, you can go here and wait."

Qin Ling nodded excitedly and said, "Well, I'm going to prepare now and lead the troops tomorrow!"

After finishing speaking, Qin Ling turned around and was about to leave
Lu Dongzan turned around and shouted: "Wait a minute, let me tell you one more thing, if you can't do something, don't force it! Do you understand?"
