Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 578
People who come out of the Tubo camp are not necessarily spies, but may also be friendly troops.

The people sent by Zi Nu were undoubtedly loyal to her. After leaving the camp, he ran all over the vicinity of the Tubo camp. His men and horses were almost exhausted, until he encountered a group of defeated troops fleeing south in panic. Only then did I find out the approximate scope of Sun Congdong's troops.

After hearing him report Li Qinzai's situation in the Tubo camp, Sun Congdong was suddenly very anxious.

He didn't know why the situation suddenly changed, why Lu Dongzan would kill Li Qinzai, but before Su Dingfang's army arrived, he was the only one who could save Li Qinzai.

"Assemble the soldiers and attack the Tubo camp!" Sun Congdong shouted sharply.

…………

In the evening, inside the Tubo Camp.

Li Qinzai was sitting cross-legged in the tent, while Liu Ahsi was reporting to him.

"Wu Shaolang, I waited for a whole day to observe during the day, and found that there were about 6000 troops stationed in the Tubo camp, and there were more than [-] farmers transporting grain and grass. Most of them camped in the rear camp."

"They have stepped up their security since yesterday. Our camp was sealed off, with countless sentry posts. The rear army was separated from us by a distance of about 30 feet. A group of Tubo troops patrolled past the rear camp around every moment. About [-] people in each team..."

Li Qinzai smiled and praised: "You are very careful in your observation."

Liu Ahsi grinned: "That's right, when I was a child, I never watched the village girls go to the latrine so carefully..."

Li Qinzai was startled: "Do you still have this hobby?"

Old Liu Asi blushed, and immediately dragged Old Wei out on his back: "My hobbies are nothing, but Old Wei's hobbies are outrageous..."

Old Wei, who was clasping his sword across his chest, slapped his hands: "Speaking of business, why are you teasing me?"

Li Qinzai couldn't bear to inquire about the privacy of his subordinates anymore, he was afraid that he would feel sick after hearing about it.

"Apart from the interval between sentry posts and patrols, what else did you observe?" Li Qinzai asked.

Liu Asi scratched his head: "Other than that, it seems... nothing else."

Li Qinzai sighed and said, "It's still not careful enough. For example, what do people need most?"

Lao Wei and Liu Ahsi said in unison without thinking: "Women."

"You guys..." Li Qinzai was angry: "Food and water! You think about women all day long, and you play so pervertedly. You are really a red rabbit among horses, and a Teddy among people. You guys are really trilogy." Lucky to be born."

Liu Ahsi woke up like a dream: "Ah, yes, yes, food and water."

Li Qinzai said with a cold face: "The place Lu Dongzan chose to camp is about five miles away from Qinghai Lake, but Qinghai Lake is a saltwater lake, and the lake water cannot be directly drunk. Is it a baggage cart for the army to transport water?"

"I noticed, the villain found that every morning, noon and evening, a team of baggage carts enters and exits the rear army of the camp. The baggage carts are full of sealed large wooden barrels, which are probably water carts."

Old Wei said in surprise, "Fifth Shaolang intends to..."

Li Qinzai said coldly: "The only way for us to survive now is to make a fuss about their water trucks."

Speaking of which, Li Qinzai took out a large oiled paper bag from the luggage he was carrying. After opening it, there was a pack full of medicinal powder, weighing about three or four catties.

Liu Ah Si and Lao Wei gasped.When Wu Shaolang ran wild in Chang'an, he was good at prescribing medicines, and created an original thing called "Meng Khan Medicine". The eldest son of Xue's family also got his own secret recipe, which made the dudes in Chang'an City want to die.

Could it be that the package in front of me is...

Li Qinzai sighed, and said quietly: "When you go out, the boy must protect himself, so he brought so much by accident..."

Liu Ah Si stammered: "Is this... used to protect yourself?"

"Otherwise? Is it for physical fitness?" Li Qinzai glanced at him.

Old Wei understood: "What Wu Shaolang means is to drug the water truck and bring down the entire rear army?"

Li Qinzai nodded and sighed again: "Now it's just the last step. How can we find a reliable person to approach the water truck and put the medicine in."

When the three of them were worrying, one of them entered the tent and whispered in Li Qinzai's ear, "Fifth Shaolang, Miss Zi Nu has sent someone over to tell you something urgent."

Li Qinzai was taken aback: "Aren't we blocked? How did he get in?"

"A Tubo general had friendship with Miss Zinu's followers, so he secretly released the water..."

"Let him in quickly, and you are on guard all around."

…………

At night, Lu Dongzan paced back and forth in the handsome tent, his old cheeks were full of hesitation.

A personal guard hurried into the commander's tent and reported: "President, General Sante in the south of our army hastened to report that [-] soldiers of our army encountered Tang troops two hundred miles south of Jishi Mountain a few days ago when they were clearing out the remnants of Tuyuhun. Raid."

Lu Dongzan's expression was startled: "Has Tang Jun entered the country?"

"Yes, I found out that Zheng Rentai's [-] troops entered from Songzhou, crossed Jinchuan, and encountered General Sante's troops. The two armies had already fought, and each had casualties."

"Because the terrain of the plain is favorable for the cavalry of the Tang army, 3000 of our army died in battle, and more than a thousand of the Tang army died in battle. General Sante ordered a westward retreat, and the Tang army is advancing step by step towards the hinterland of Tuyuhun."

Lu Dongzan raised his thick eyebrows, and said angrily: "As expected, the war has begun! Is Emperor Tang really going to swallow Tuyuhun completely? He is greedy!"

After a long silence, a murderous intent flashed on Lu Dongzan's face: "Decree, at midnight tonight dispatch three thousand soldiers and horses to kill Tang envoy Li Qinzai and his trilogy in the camp, leaving no one behind!"

The personal guard was turning around to deliver an order, but Lu Dongzan stopped him again.

The cheek muscles twitched a few times, and Lu Dongzan said sternly: "...by the way, kill Zi Nu and her entourage too, it will be a disaster after all, we can't keep it!"

…………

In the middle of the night, the army behind the Tubo camp.

In the quiet camp, only the occasional Tubo army patrolling lazily walked around. From time to time, I heard the crows in the sky screaming, and the wolves in the distance howling at the moon.

In this deathly silent camp, the rear army's supply camp suddenly let out a hoarse roar, and then, a burst of flames shot up from the supply camp, quickly reflecting the night sky red.

"The baggage battalion is flooded!" a Tubo soldier shouted.

The rapid sound of the gong sounded, and the rear barracks suddenly boiled.

In Li Qinzai's camp, everyone was ready to go. Hearing the movement from the rear army, Li Qinzai smiled.

"This purple slave...is very thorough in his work, why was he so stupid in Liangzhou City?"

Liu Ahsi drew his sword out of its sheath, and eagerly said, "Fifth Shaolang, brothers are ready, we only need to wait for Wu Shaolang's order, and we will break out from the rear."

Li Qinzai shook his head: "Don't worry, wait for Zi Nu's news, and cooperate properly with each other, then things will be accomplished."

As soon as the words fell, a strange figure rushed into the tent.

"Uncle Li, Your Highness has ordered us to set fire to the rear army's supply camp. The rear army is in disarray. You can break out from the northwest direction. The defenders there have all rushed to the rear army to fight the fire. There are only a few defenders staying. worth a try."
