Chapter 904 Surrendering the Army
Outside Nongge Valley, at the end of the Xu era.

It's getting late now, and it's already night. If it was in the past, this place would have been pitch black, but now, it's brightly lit by the torches of the Tang and Tubo armies, as if it were daytime.

In the Tubo army, the commander-in-chief Lu Dongzan was guarded in the middle, while Gal Xuenan, who had just led the troops back, followed behind Lu Dongzan.

"Commander, the last general is incompetent and failed to stop the Tang army, so I ask the commander to apologise." Garxue Nan bowed his head in front of Lu Dongzan.

Lu Dongzan shook his head slowly and said: "How can you be blamed for this? The Beiya Forbidden Army led by the Emperor Tang of the Tang Army behind him is the elite of the elite. No matter who goes to this battle, they will definitely lose."

Lu Dongzan's words were a bit helpless, but they were also true. The Beiya guards led by Li Ke were at the peak in terms of combat power, armor, and morale. Who could be sure of winning with such a powerful army?

Lu Dongzan asked Gar Xuenan, "How many troops are there in our department now?"

Gal Xuenan replied truthfully: "It's less than [-], and most of them are old soldiers brought by the commander from Xiangxiong. We have been besieged to death by the Tang army."

Hearing this, Lu Dongzan sighed deeply, and said: "The 20 troops came out with me to defeat the enemy, but now the troops are still there, and the Tang army is still there, but there are only ten of my army left. One, there is no power to fight anymore."

Seeing this, Galxue comforted him and said, "This battle is not the fault of the commander. Why should the commander be all in one? If it weren't for the disharmony between the monarch and his ministers, the general's renunciation, and the commander is still sticking to Bai Bize. How could it have happened today?" This level."

Gal Xuenan followed Lu Dongzan through life and death for many years. He had almost blind confidence in Lu Dongzan. Even if this battle reached this point, he still firmly believed that the failure of this battle was not because of Lu Dongzan, but because of Lu Dongzan. Because of the internal discord in Tubo, if the Tubo army can command Lu Dongzan like Su Dingfang commanded the Tang army, Lu Dongzan may not lose this battle.

Lu Dongzan glanced at the torch in front of him, then raised his eyes to look at the bright moon hanging in the sky, paused for a moment, and sighed: "What about the disharmony between the monarch and the ministers? What about the separation of the generals? Situation. After all, the light of a candle can’t reflect more than Zhang Xu, so how can it compete with the sun and the moon.”

Lu Dongzan's words were obviously pessimistic, but it was indeed Lu Dongzan's true thoughts now. The national power of Tubo and Tang Dynasty was not even a star and a half away, and the abilities of Li Ke and Gongri Gongzan were even more so. Don't, Li Ke has his heart on Tubo, and Tubo's defeat is only a matter of time.

In Lu Dongzan's eyes, Lu Dongzan himself is just a torch. Even if he burns himself, no matter how bright the ground is, the place that can be illuminated is only one foot away. How can it be compared to Tang Huang, like the sun and the moon? Such a bright world.

Gal Xuenan is Lu Dongzan's confidant, he has been with him for many years, he has never seen Lu Dongzan like this, and for a while he didn't know how to comfort him.

After a while, Gal Xuenan just asked Lu Dongzan: "The matter has come to this, most of the army has surrendered to Tang to protect their lives, what does the commander think should be done?"

Gar Xuenan’s words were telling Lu Dongzan that most of the Tubo army had already surrendered to the Tang Dynasty to survive. Naturally, he hoped that Lu Dongzan would do the same and surrender to the Tang army. After all, Lu Dongzan had the Qinling Mausoleum. Coupled with Li Ke's original appreciation for him, if he surrendered, not only would he be able to save his life, he would even be able to retain his glory and wealth.

But Lu Dongzan didn't listen to what Garxue Nan said, and Lu Dongzan replied without hesitation: "The matter has come to this point, and we can neither win the battle nor lose the ambition of my Tubo son. We will wait for ourselves." When fighting to the death."

Lu Dongzan's words fell into his ears, and Gal Xuenan was suddenly anxious. He was not afraid of death, but he didn't want Lu Dongzan to die. It's not worth the court's death in battle, and it's even a little silly.

Gal Xuenan wanted to persuade Lu Dongzan to surrender to Tang, but he knew Lu Dongzan's temper, and he didn't know how to speak, and when Gal Xuenan was in a dilemma, a man walked slowly from the opposite direction of Tang Jun .

If Li Ke wanted to wipe out the remnants of Tubo, all he had to do was order the three armies to attack together. Lu Dongzan's son Qinling is none other than Qinling.

The person coming from the direction of the Tang army was Qin Ling. Galxue Nan saw someone from the Tang army stepping forward. After he saw that it was Qin Ling, he probably knew the purpose of Qin Ling's coming here.

The arrival of Qinling naturally brought Li Ke's intention to persuade him to surrender. Gal Xuenan finally let go of the hanging heart. Before Lu Dongzan could speak, he ordered the soldiers in the army not to shoot arrows, but to let them go. Let Qinling in.

Qin Ling had already entered, and Garxue Nan ordered to let him go, so Lu Dongzan would not order to shoot, so Qin Ling came here smoothly from the front of the Tang army, and came to Lu Dongzan.

"Father, I didn't expect that we would meet in this place after so many years."

Standing in front of Lu Dongzan, Qinling looked at Lu Dongzan who was similar to what he remembered but was much older. He originally thought of many words in his heart, but when he opened his mouth, there was only this one sentence.

Listening to Qin Ling's words, Lu Dongzan looked at the second son who was close in front of him, and felt mixed feelings in his heart for a while.

Qinling is the son of Ludongzan, but since the 13th year of Zhenguan, Qinling came to Datang as the envoy of Langri Linzhi, and never went back to Tubo, and naturally he never saw Ludongzan again. More than ten years.

In more than ten years, Lu Dongzan has aged a lot, but Qinling has grown from a boy to a majestic adult man, appearing in front of Lu Dongzan as a conqueror, how can this be called Lu Dongzan? Can not sigh.

In all honesty, Lu Dong praised the scholars as the most intelligent, and the one with the highest achievement was Qin Ling, but it happened that it was Qin Ling who took a completely different path from him and achieved success. The moment they met, Lu Dongzan didn't know what to say.

After being silent for a while, Lu Dong praised: "In front of the two armies, swords have no eyes, why are you here?"

Although it was the first time that the father and son met for many years, Qin Ling did not forget his mission at all, Qin Ling said: "Your Majesty said, His Majesty's promise to father is still valid, and this time I came here at the order of His Majesty. Invite father to be an official in Chang'an."

Although what Qinling said in his mouth did not mention the matter of persuading surrender, which saved enough face for Lu Dongzan, the implication was to persuade Lu Dongzan to surrender to the Tang Dynasty and serve Li Ke.

As a defeated general, Li Ke's ability to do this was enough to give Lu Dongzan a lot of attention. Lu Dongzan smiled wryly and said, "I have fallen into such a situation. I never thought that Emperor Tang would think highly of me."

Hearing Lu Dongzan's words, Qinling didn't know what Lu Dongzan meant, but he continued with Lu Dongzan's words: "At the beginning of this year, Tang Jian, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and Tong Zhongshu, resigned. Your Majesty intends to use A Father succeeds, so I specially ordered my son to come here to invite me."
