Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 385 On Qin Mausoleum

On the border of Tuyuhun, in the barracks of the Tubo army, Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan is calling the generals to discuss important matters.

Originally, Tubo thought that the Tang Dynasty would not have too many official Tuyuhun, so Tubo could take the opportunity to easily take Tuyuhun.

Who knows that the Tang Dynasty did not relax at this point, and instead sent troops to assist Tuyuhun, which made it even more difficult for Tubo to annex Tuyuhun.

What's more, Tuyuhun has become more powerful with the help of the Tang Dynasty in these years. It is not easy to annex Tuyuhun if it does not come. Now that the army of the Tang Dynasty is involved again, this makes Lu Dongzan feel bad up.

"Now that the Tang Dynasty is participating in the battle between us and Tuyuhun, if we rashly attack Tuyuhun, it's hard to say whether we can win Tuyuhun."

"I'm afraid that the Tang Dynasty will send a steady stream of soldiers and horses as reinforcements. At that time, we will have no choice but to return to Tibet." Zanpo, the son of Lu Dongzan, said, feeling a little worried.

Zanpo, the third son of Ludongzan, named Gar Zhengzan Zangdun, is called Zanpo in Chinese.

At the beginning, when Songtsen Gampo was alive, he asked the Tang Dynasty to marry a princess, but was rejected by the former emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Songtsen Gampo led the Tubo army to go out, and was finally attacked by the Tang army vanguard in Songzhou, killing thousands of people.

Zanpo was in the army at that time, and witnessed Tang Jun's toughness with her own eyes. Although the Tubo army did not suffer much loss, she also learned how powerful Tang Jun was.

If Tubo insisted on fighting the Tang army to the end at that time, Tubo would probably perish. Songtsan Gampo also realized this, so he retreated and asked the former emperor of the Tang Dynasty to marry him again, and only then did he marry Princess Wencheng.

Regarding Zanpo's worries, Lu Dongzan knew in his heart that after all, the Tang Dynasty had a vast territory and rich resources, and its population was larger than their Tubo.

If it was true as what Zan Po said, Tang Jun would continue to march towards Tuyuhun, they had no choice but to avoid the edge for the time being, and retreat first, because it would be harmful to them and not beneficial.

Tubo has now encountered a development bottleneck. If Tuyuhun cannot be captured, it will not be able to send troops to the Western Regions to compete with the Tang Dynasty for control of the Western Regions, and Tubo will not be able to gain more room for development.

At this time, it is unwise to fight against the Tang Dynasty. Once they lose here, there may be turmoil within Tubo, and the areas conquered by them may also rebel.

But if they just retreated like this, they would not be reconciled. There would be no room for Tubo to develop, and there would only be a dead end in the end.

"Whale puffs out the valley, opens the road to the north" is the most basic grand strategy for Tubo to go down the plateau, a plan that Songtsan Gampo began to formulate before his death.

Therefore, Tubo had to take down Tuyuhun, but they couldn't turn against the Tang Dynasty right now, because their strength didn't allow them to do so before the time came.

"Abba, don't worry! Now, the situation in Liaodong is tense, and the Tang Dynasty has sent more than 20 troops to expedition to Liaodong."

"Sijie, Pugu and other four tribes in the Western Regions rebelled under our plan. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty was too busy to take care of himself, so why would he continue to send troops to Tuyuhun?" said Lu Dongzan's second son Lun Qinling.

The rebellion of Sijie and other four tribes is his masterpiece on Qinling. He sent people to fan the flames and incite Tiele's tribes to rebel against Datang.

The purpose is to divert all the attention of the Tang Dynasty, and to make it easier for them to attack Tuyuhun.

When the army of the Tang Dynasty quelled the rebellion and remembered Tuyuhun, Tuyuhun had already been annexed by Tubo. At that time, there was no need to be afraid of the Tang Dynasty anymore.

"If this is the case, then there is nothing to be afraid of. As long as the Tang Dynasty does not focus on Tuyuhun, we will be able to succeed [-]%." ​​Lu Dong praised.

At this moment, Lu Dongzan had absolute confidence in winning Tuyuhun.

"But, Dad! There were three armies in the Tang Dynasty, with tens of thousands of people. One of them was in the royal capital of Tuyuhun, and the other two were not far from Tuyuhun."

"If we attack Tuyuhun, they will definitely not stand idly by, Dad better be careful." Zan Po kindly reminded.

Lu Dongzan frowned when he heard the words, what Zan Po said made sense, with three Tang armies, it would be much more difficult to destroy Tuyuhun.

"Abba! You don't have to worry! Now that the Tang Dynasty is continuing its expedition to fight the rebellion, I believe that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty will issue an edict to recall them back soon." Lun Qinling said.

"Then let's wait a few more days, and when the emperor of the Tang Dynasty issues an edict to recall them, we will launch an attack immediately and take Tuyuhun in one fell swoop." Lu Dong praised, and in this case, he would be more confident in taking Tuyuhun.

"What if the emperor of the Tang Dynasty doesn't recall them? What should we do? Do we have to wait here forever?" said Dayan Mangpozhi, the vice minister of Tubo who had been watching coldly.

"Even if the emperor of the Tang Dynasty doesn't call them back, so what, at worst we will wipe out these Tang troops and Tuyuhun together."

"The chief generals of the three Tang armies, except for Xi Junmai, the other two are unknown people, and among them, Changzhi the Black Tooth is a slave given to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty by Baekje."

"They are nothing to worry about at all, and they are not much of a hindrance to our capture of Tuyuhun." Lun Qinling's eyes shone fiercely.

To be honest, Lun Qinling didn't think too highly of Xi Jun and the three of them, but he didn't underestimate each other either. In any case, to be entrusted with important tasks by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty must have extraordinary abilities.

Lu Dongzan also felt that what his son said made sense, so he decided to do what Lun Qinling said.

"Okay! That's it for today, everyone, let's go! Let us wait for the good news from the emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

"Yes!" Lun Qinling and the others saluted and retreated.

They imagined it beautifully, but the reality did not develop in the direction he imagined, but in the direction they did not expect.

First, Zheng Rentai, the general of Zuo Wuwei, killed all sides in Mobei. Not to mention three battles and three victories, Li Chengqian simply let Zheng Rentai stay in Mobei in order to prevent another incident in Mobei.

This made the tribes in Mobei dare not rebel in the slightest. As long as there was any sign of rebellion in that tribe, it would be suppressed by an army of [-] led by Zheng Rentai.

Therefore, Tubo's strategy of attacking the west did not have the effect they expected. Instead, the Tang Dynasty stationed an elite division with extremely strong combat effectiveness in the northwest region.

This is a huge threat to Tubo, so Lu Dongzan can't help but pay attention to it.

Originally, none of the three armies that Li Chengqian had planned to be transferred back to rescue them did not move. Instead, the Tang Dynasty sent them troops to replenish their sources of troops.

If this situation continues, it will only become more and more unfavorable to the Tubo army.

It is necessary to come up with a solution as soon as possible, they cannot stay here and wait to die.
