bastard seizes tang

Chapter 885

Just as Qinling guessed, and just as Li Ke judged, since Gongri Gongzan recalled Lu Dongzan, he must have reached the end of the mountain and had no choice.

The current Lu Dongzan is a savior to Luoxie, and even to the whole Tubo. Now that he has returned to Luoxie, he is now in control of the war situation in Tubo.

Lu Dongzan is different from Gongri Gongzan who shrinks back because he doesn't know the soldiers. Although Lu Dongzan is cautious, he dares to fight against the Tang army. The soldiers and horses gathered 20 people and went to Baibize to station in order to retreat from the enemy.

20 people seems to be on par with the Tang army in terms of numbers, but Lu Dongzan himself knows that the 20 people under his command are not the same concept as Li Ke's 20 Tang army.

Aside from Li Ke's immediate subordinates, the unparalleled Beiya Forbidden Army aside, even those government troops are mostly strong soldiers who have experienced many battles, and they are not comparable to his newly recruited recruits, not to mention the Tang Army has soldiers. And the advantage in morale, after all, he is facing the imperial conquest of Emperor Tang.

So after Lu Dongzan led the army out of the city, he began to be cautious in everything. He first built a camp in Baibize, and then sent scouts to inquire about the movements of the Tang army every day, not daring to be careless.

Lu Dongzan was paying attention to Tang Jun's situation, and Tang Jun was the same. After Lu Dongzan camped in Bai Bize, Li Ke also got the news immediately.

Sixty miles to the north of Baibize, there is a large tent of the Tang Army.

"This Lu Dongzan is really courageous. The enemy is strong but he is weak. How dare he not rely on the city to defend, but set up camp outside." In the big tent, Li Ke stood in front of the map of Tubo hanging in the tent, checking several people in the tent. People sighed, and the words were quite admiring for Lu Dongzan.

Li Ke admired Lu Dongzan, and everyone in the Tang Dynasty knew about it. It's not surprising that Li Ke would say that about Lu Dongzan.

Su Dingfang said: "Put him to death and live later. What Lu Dongzan did seems to be taking risks, but in fact he seized the last chance for Tubo to turn defeat into victory. He can grasp the situation so well, he is indeed a good general."

Li Ke said with some regret: "Only relying on this step of Lu Dong's praise, I have to look up to him. It's a pity that such a character can never be used by our Tang Dynasty. If he can enter our Tang Dynasty, it will be impossible to destroy Tubo." Little effort."

Although Li Ke's effort with little effort is exaggerated, it is enough to show the importance of Lu Dongzan to Tubo. If he can get Lu Dongzan, there is at least a [-]% chance of winning this battle, but Li Ke himself knows in his heart that this It is absolutely impossible.

Wang Xuance on the side looked at the regretful look on Li Ke's face, and said: "When Lu Dong praised the envoy to Tang, His Majesty promised to be a high-ranking official and generous salary. If Lu Dong could surrender, he would have surrendered as early as in Chang'an. Lu Dong Zan still misses Tubo, as long as Tubo is still there, I'm afraid it will be difficult for His Majesty to have a relationship with Ludong Zan as a monarch and minister."

Lu Dongzan had no intention of descending to the Tang Dynasty. This is indeed a pity for Li Ke, but it will never make Li Ke hesitate. After all, Li Kezhi is trying to destroy Tubo, and the huge war machine of the Tang Dynasty has already started. If he stopped because of Lu Dongzan, he would never be blocked by Lu Dongzan alone.

Li Ke clenched his fists and said, "I have a heart to love talents, but I will not stick to the gains and losses of one person and one place. In this battle, I want to destroy Tubo, and no one can stop me."

Under the rolling wheels of war, those who stand in the way of unification will be crushed to death, and one more or one less Lu Dongzan is harmless. As far as the macro situation is concerned, the difference is only a number.

Li Ke's determination to destroy Tubo cannot be shaken in the slightest. Everyone in the court knows this very well. The identity of Qin Ling standing in the tent is the most embarrassing. One side is the king, and the other side is the biological father, which really makes him a little embarrassed .

Looking at Li Ke's appearance, Qinling was silent for a while, and then began to say after coming over for a while: "Your Majesty, everyone in the Tang Dynasty is determined to win this battle, but facing the Tubo army stationed in Baibize, And don't be careless, this Bai Bize is no ordinary lake."

Qin Ling is from Tubo. Hearing Qin Ling's words, he seemed to know a little about Bai Bize. Li Ke heard the words and asked, "What does this mean? What's so unusual about Bai Bize?"

Qin Ling replied: "Bai Bize had a very vicious reputation in Luoxie generation. Because he was born in Luoxie, the final general knew a little about Bai Bize. Bai Bize was also called Yemoze. In Tubo language, Yemo It is Yan Mo's intention that more than a hundred people die here every year in Bai Bize."

Li Ke also knew a little about Tubo, but it was the first time he heard Bai Bize's statement. Li Ke asked curiously, "Why is this?"

Qinling replied: "Although Bai Bize is famous as a marsh, there is no water in the marsh. Most of it is muddy lakes and swamps. Once you step into it, it will sink deeper and deeper until the whole person falls into it and suffocates to death. If a person crosses the road, it is absolutely impossible to save himself.”

After hearing Qinling's words, Li Ke understood what he meant. It turned out that Bai Bize was not a lake, but a swamp.Swamps are more difficult to navigate than lakes, and they are dangerous everywhere. People who are not familiar with the way will easily fall into it and lose their lives. It is no wonder that Qin Ling is so cautious.

Li Kedao: "Lu Dongzan chose a good place. We Tang army first arrived here, and we are not familiar with the road conditions in Bai Bizezhong. It is very easy to fall into the swamp and fall into danger. In this case, we can't send troops rashly."

Lu Dongzan is very familiar with Bai Bizezhong's situation and knows the way to go, but Tang Jun has just arrived, and he didn't even know what Bai Bize was before.

Li Ke thought about this in his heart, so he asked Qin Ling: "Do you know the situation of Bai Bizezhong?"

Qin Ling shook his head and said: "The last general only knows the name of Bai Bize, but he has never been there, so he is not clear about the situation in Zezhong."

Although Qin Ling is the son of Lu Dongzan, he was named by Li Ke as a marriage envoy when he was young. He came to Chang'an and stayed in Tubo for only a few years. Naturally, his understanding of Tubo is limited, and most of them have heard about it. .

Li Ke nodded when he heard this, and said to Qin Ling: "You are very right. Baibi Ze is a swamp, so don't rush into it easily. You order the scouts to find the way in this generation and get familiar with the situation in the marsh. Bai Bize is looking for people, to see if he can find the locals living in Zezhong to lead the way for our army."

"No." Qin Ling immediately agreed upon hearing the words.

With Bai Bize present, the Tang army will arrive tomorrow. In order to have a better chance of winning, Li Ke naturally needs to be more familiar with Bai Bizezhong's situation.

What Li Ke did was naturally appropriate, but when Li Ke was discussing matters with the generals under his command in the big tent, suddenly an envoy from Tubo chief Lu Dongzan was ordered to see him.

Lu Dongzan wanted to see Li Ke for no other reason than to invite Li Ke to meet on the plain outside Baibi Ze two days later to discuss important military affairs between the two countries.
