Chapter 338 Urgent Report from the Border

After receiving Li Xiang's order, Midu Khan immediately ordered all his troops to wander near the border. In addition, there were 4,000 people from the Tang Dynasty, plus Zaterk's men. The 6,000 people inside are enough to make up 40,000 to 50,000 horses.

Originally, the generals on the border of Tubo were already preparing to retreat, and even their vanguard had already left, but they did not expect that Tuyuhun would suddenly cause trouble, so these people stopped immediately and reported to Lu Dongzan as quickly as possible...

Ludongzan is now the general manager of the camp. Songtsan Gampo has given him all the rights on the front line and only asked him to put out this rebellion in a short time. No matter what method is used, Songtsan Gampo I have felt the danger, and now I no longer want to cut down the vassal, I just want to be able to return to the way it was before, which is already good.

Lu Dongzan had no illusions. Now that we have started, we must go to the end. Do you think that if you show respect to these chieftains, they will completely listen to you? This is simply impossible.

People's ambitions have limits, but when you let them see the hope of victory, the ambition in their hearts can no longer be trapped. In the past, they bowed to you because they thought they could not defeat you, but when they see After reaching this glimmer of hope, many people want to try it. After all, no one wants to be a toast all the time.

"Report to the Prime Minister, urgent report at the border..."

While Lu Dongzan was thinking about these issues, a soldier ran in with a memorial from the border area in his hand, and it was also marked urgent.

Lu Dongzan looked at this guy in surprise, and then opened the letter with doubts on his face. According to his idea, even if the plateau had been turned into a pot of porridge, the border area should be fine. Tuyuhun had just been destroyed. Datang had beaten them so hard that they had lost all their energy. Do they still dare to look for trouble? Relying on the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, they can continue to survive. If they dare to show their teeth to us, we can beat them again at any time. If they had not become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty last time, they would have been beaten by now. You have occupied the remaining territory, what else can such people do to make border arrangements?

When he saw what was said in the memorial, Lu Dongzan felt a little unsteady. If he hadn't grabbed the table next to him, he would have fallen down. Tuyuhun actually gathered more than 40,000 troops. , many of them are soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. What do they want to do?

Lu Dongzan has always believed that the information on the plateau is blocked, and the situation here cannot be leaked. Even if it is leaked, Datang's response cannot be so fast. After all, there is a Tuyuhun in the middle. Now that the Tang army has arrived at the border, do they want to take advantage of it?

"Send an order to the border guards to return to their original positions immediately. They can recruit all the young and strong men from all the surrounding villages into the army. If anyone dares to disobey, I will massacre his village."

After a cup of tea, Lu Dongzan finally came back to his senses. Now let alone withdrawing the border guards, even if he sent people over for reinforcements, he still couldn't get them. It was really a leak in the house. It rains continuously.

After thinking about it again and again, Lu Dongzan could only write a letter to Songtsen Gampo, asking him to squeeze out 3,000 people no matter what. Anyway, there was no war in the Holy City, and the people around him were relatively stable. These three people Thousands of people are going to the border areas. We will exterminate the rebellious chieftains. This is just a civil strife. If the Tang army is involved, it will be a disaster.

However, Lu Dongzan did not write about the border situation in detail. He knew Songtsen Gampo very well. This person seemed to be talented and capable, but in fact he was very timid. If he were to know the situation at the border, let alone There were three thousand men, and I was afraid that none of them would be able to come back. He wished he could withdraw all his troops to the vicinity of the Holy City to ensure his own safety.

Ludongzan knew what was happening in the country when he came out of Chang'an City, but he felt that he could handle it. With his ability and the strength in Songtsen Gampo's hands, even if he came back a little later, , and was able to deal with these rebellious chieftains, but he did not expect that things would develop beyond his expectations.

First, the chieftains attracted more people. Originally, there were only five chieftain families rebelling, but now it has grown to nine. Looking at this trend, it is still necessary to continue to make judgments.

Then came the report from the border. Datang and Tuyuhun were already ready to make a move, which made Lu Dongzan's previous method hopeless.

According to Lu Dongzan's idea, he should withdraw the border defenders, and then combine his own strength to kill a few of the most important chieftains, and then persuade the other chieftains. Now it seems that this is impossible. Once the border defenders retreat, the Tang Dynasty and Tuyuhun people are likely to invade. Once they come in, it may become a battle to destroy the country.

"Pass my order. All the battalions under my command must hold firm and prepare fast horses for me. I want to go to the border. I want to see what this bastard Midu wants to do?"

After thinking about it again and again, Lu Dongzan felt that he should go to the border. Although the chieftains here are making a lot of noise, with this army watching them, you can't do anything to me, and I can't do anything to you. We can't make trouble for the time being. Big trouble is coming.

"Prime Minister..."

Suo Langzelang, who led the team, said anxiously that if the prime minister leaves, he will probably be the general here. His talents have always been limited, but he is very loyal to Lu Dongzan, so he can reach this position.

"You don't have to worry. As long as you hold on after I leave, with your strength, they can't do anything to you. I can run back and forth in five days at most."

Lu Dongzan looked at his subordinate with some disappointment. This guy couldn't stand on his own. Of course, this was the result of Lu Dongzan's deliberate training. If his subordinates were too strong, what else would he do on his own? But sometimes he hoped If your subordinates can be stronger, don't ask yourself for everything.

"I obey my orders."

Suo Langzelang also murmured in his heart, but there was not much time for him to think about it. When he came to his senses, Lu Dongzan had already gone to rest. The prime minister had not slept a wink all night and had to rest for two hours. After that, he will lead his men to the border...
