Chapter 1151 The rain is about to come and the wind is full of the building
Lu Dongzan has never been so embarrassed.
His hair and beard were tangled together, looking like strings.
His eyes were bloodshot, and the backs of his hands were cracked.
This road can be called the Road of Blood and Tears.
Every time he went to a larger town, he would carefully let people in to ask for food and horses.
He knew that he could not show up. Once his embarrassment was seen by those former opponents, Tubo would be turned upside down in an instant.
But the paper can't contain the fire, but when the news came, Lu Dongzan's trace was exposed.
Then there was silence, and then he was intercepted and killed on the way.
The more interceptions and kills, the more opposition to the Ludongzan family.
"President!"
Someone exclaimed, Lu Dongzan raised his eyes, and saw hundreds of cavalry forming in front.
He felt a chill in his heart, knowing that this time he couldn't make it through.
Wang TuBaYe flashed through my mind one by one.
"It's our people!"
The cavalry dodged out of the way, and Qin Ling rode out slowly.
"Father."
As soon as Lu Dongzan loosened his body, he staggered and fell down. Fortunately, there was someone around him with poor eyesight and hands who quickly helped him.
After more than an hour, he woke up leisurely.
"Where is this?"
"Father, this is home."
Standing by the door, Qin Ling turned around and said with piercing eyes: "I got the news about the Battle of Anxi three days ago, but some people got the news almost at the same time, and then there was an undercurrent in the city."
Lu Dongzan's heart tightened, "Army..."
Qin Ling smiled and said: "Don't worry, father, the army is under control. I immediately took people to the army and summoned the generals. If you can rest assured, rest assured, if you can't rest assured..."
Lu Dongzan said: "Don't be soft."
Qin Ling said: "They encountered traitors and died bravely in battle."
Those eyes were full of murderous intent.
Lu Dongzan breathed a sigh of relief, panting, "How is Zanpu?"
Qin Ling came over, "Zanpu called some generals to discuss matters at the beginning, and those generals are all in my eyes. At this moment, they will make a move...Father, you were too weak in the past, and you forgave too many people. As for them thinking you are weak and easy to bully."
Lu Dongzan looked at his heroic son, smiled wryly and said, "If you want Tubo to be strong, you have to tolerate some people who oppose you...Qinling, there is no perfect person in this world, nor does everyone support you. A beautiful dream that makes people addicted and unwilling to wake up."
"Then why don't you use a knife to talk?"
Qin Ling has always been Lu Dongzan's most important assistant, and he knows almost everything about Lu Dongzan, "They are watching. Ever since receiving the news of the Battle of Anxi, Zanpu couldn't wait to do it. If it weren't for me He took control of the army in time, and now the city is already under his control. Father, there are many things... If you don't do it, others will. Whoever strikes first wins!"
Lu Dongzan lay on the bed, wheezing and smiling bitterly.
"Tuban!"
He knows how arrogant and talented his son is.
Before, he could barely suppress Qin Ling, but now he was lying on the bed waiting to die, and Qin Ling was out of trouble.
"Father took good care of her."
Qin Ling went out, and gently closed the door with his backhand.
"Take care of your father, if anyone neglects, kill him."
"yes!"
A trembling voice represents fear.
But it won't last long to use fear to defend yourself!
"Convene them for a meeting."
Lu Dongzan was panting inside, and footsteps kept coming from outside.
"How about Zamp?"
"There is an army gathering on Zanpu's side, the number is about 8,000."
"More than that." Qin Ling said firmly: "As far as I know, there are more than 20,000. He is showing weakness to the enemy, which is interesting."
"How's the morale in the army?" Qin Ling's voice gradually became murderous.
"Morale...okay."
Qin Ling said: "Tell the soldiers, the Tang army was dispatched in full force in the Battle of Anxi, our army fought bravely, and the Tang army suffered heavy casualties..."
"yes!"
This is a way to calm people's hearts, but it won't last long!
Once the real news comes, this lie will backfire.
Lu Dongzan smiled wryly.
"Tell them that the prime minister has returned, and the envoy from the Tang Dynasty seeking peace should be on his way."
This is still a means of drinking poison to quench thirst.
Lu Dongzan was anxious, but suddenly froze for a moment.
Under such a situation, does Qin Ling have a better way?
He shook his head, no.
To preserve the prosperity and wealth of the Ludongzan family, Qinling's method is the best.
I'm old!
Lu Dongzan looked blankly at the void.
"Our people must gather together, take the food and grass, and wait for my order."
"yes!"
Qin Ling walked over and patted the shoulders of the generals one by one.
"We shall prevail."
He used us, not me.
My child is smart after all.
Squeak!
The door opened, Qin Ling walked to the side of the bed, leaned down, and said softly: "Father just rest, I will do the rest."
Lu Dongzan held his hand and gasped for breath a few times, "Qinling, righteousness, there must be righteousness...with righteousness, everything will benefit, and without righteousness, you are a rat on the street."
Qin Ling held his hand, smiled and said, "Father, don't worry, I will."
…
The young Zamp sat on it, watching the generals and officials arguing.
"The prime minister has worked so hard, so what if he loses this battle? Just regroup."
"How to regroup once the 300,000 troops are completely lost?"
"He fled back with more than a hundred riders, but he didn't come to Zanpu to report. Why is he guilty?"
"I think he has a guilty conscience."
A civil official said impassionedly: "Lu Dongzan and his son are powerful ministers. Powerful ministers are in power, and the people of Tubo are struggling to live..."
Even Zanpu didn't believe this.
Without Lu Dongzan's painstaking efforts over the years, Tubo would not be so powerful.
The circulation of news is always biased, and the superior people can get any news they want, whether it is good or bad. But ordinary people can only brag in the marketplace and get news from gossip.
The origin of the public opinion war is to take advantage of this asymmetry of information and keep repeating some lies to convince ordinary people.
"Zamp!"
The civil official turned back and said solemnly: "Qinling is domineering. If he is allowed to be the prime minister, Tubo will never have peace."
—Do you want to be a puppet or a Zamp in power?
Zamp's eyes were calm, like a calm lake.
He slowly looked at the civil and military officials, his anger brewing under calm.
"The Ludongzan family are rebels!"
Everyone raised their heads suddenly.
Turned his face!
This statement means that Zanpu has completely broken with the Ludongzan family.
Then what?
Blood and fire!
Most people are excited.
They supported Zanpu, but the power was in the hands of the Ludongzan family, so they were marginalized.
If Zanpu’s counterattack is successful, they will be veteran heroes. Since then, the family has embarked on the golden road, and the glory and wealth are no problem.
In an era when there is no concept of nation and country, all starting points are for oneself and family, for power, for women, for money...
"Zanpu, Ludongzan and his son are at the residence now..."
A military commander's eyes flashed with a dangerous light, "Raid at this moment..."
Zan Pu shook his head, "Lu Dong Zan is still there."
Everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
That powerful official who has oppressed Tubo for many years!
As long as he is still around, no one dares to make mistakes.
"Lu Dongzan was brought in by a horse-drawn carriage." An official said, "I suspect he is already dead."
Zan Pu's eyes lightened slightly, "We need to find out."
"I'll go, I have someone over there!"
Everyone was disturbing, and they looked full of vitality.
Zan Pu waited for the crowd to leave, and asked in a low voice, "How is Lu Dong Zan?"
A man came out from the shadows, saluted and said: "Lu Dongzan is dying, Qin Ling has taken over his authority, threatened and lured, and wants to control the army."
"Is there any change in Qinling?"
"Qinling made people stare at this place, and ordered the army to gather, grab food and grass, and be ready to attack at any time."
Zamp nodded, "Sure enough, it's a wolf's ambition. Since that's the case... wait for the opportunity!"
…
Late at night.
Lu Dongzan was groggy.
He dreamed of Zamp.
Zamp still has a lot of trust in him.
"Zamp..."
The dead Zamp just smiled in the void.
Outside, Qin Ling was standing in the yard with two burning torches behind him.
He pressed the handle of the knife and squinted at the night sky.
"The people on Zamp's side have dispersed."
A man came quietly.
"how?"
"Zanpu ordered to be on alert, someone volunteered to come here to check the news of the Prime Minister."
Qin Ling sneered, "He is waiting, waiting for news from his father."
…
"Lu Dongzan is hiding."
Zheng Yang quietly entered the room, overjoyed.
Chen Wude and Li Chendong were talking in a low voice, and they were overjoyed.
"Hiding?"
Chen Wude's heart moved, "If Lu Dongzan wins big, he will definitely enter the city with great fanfare and hide...there is only one possibility,"
Li Chendong said: "We lost!"
Chen Wude asked: "Where is the army?"
Zheng Yang shook his head, "I've been guarding until now, but I haven't seen it."
"How many troops did Lu Dongzan bring back?" Li Chendong was short of breath.
Zheng Yang said: "First, Qinling led hundreds of cavalry out of the city to meet him, but when he came back, there were only a hundred more cavalry in a panic."
Chen Wude took a deep breath, "Damn! I'm afraid I lost, a big defeat!"
Li Chendong said: "If you win, even if Lu Dongzan is seriously ill, Zanpu and Qinling will come forward to celebrate. But now they are at war with each other..."
"Big defeat!"
Chen Wude suppressed his voice and smiled triumphantly.
"Before the war, I was still worried... 300,000 troops! Later, I learned that the crown prince was in command and Zhao Guogong led the army. I was even more worried... Unexpectedly, it was a big defeat. Unfortunately, there is no more detailed information... Immediately go to buy it and inquire about it."
On the second day, Chen Wude left Li Chendong behind, and he and Zheng Yang went out to inquire about the news.
Here they have to keep someone, and this person has a heavy responsibility,
Once Chen Wude and Zheng Yang were discovered, Li Chendong had to move immediately, then hide and pass the news back to Chang'an. Before the new manpower arrived, he had to take on the important task of inquiring about Tubo.
Once the Tibetans found this place, Li Chendong had to send out a signal in time so that Chen Wude and Chen Wude would not bump into it.
Light a fire...
A burning house is the signal.
…
Chen Wude and Zheng Yang separated, each went to find someone to inquire about the news.
Chen Wude went to find a businessman.
Knock knock knock!
He knocked on the door lightly, looking around without any trace.
The door opened, and the businessman saw that it was Chen Wude, his eyes lit up, "Come in."
Chen Wude entered the room.
The room was a bit dark, and the businessman made him a cup of tea, the worst kind.
"The good teas are all sold out."
The businessman remained silent.
Chen Wude took a sip of tea, "You didn't go to the shop today, it means you are worried, you are worried that there will be swordsmen in the city. In this way, Lu Dongzan must be defeated in this battle, and Zanpu took advantage of the opportunity to kill him ...And your eyes lit up when you saw me, which means that you are not optimistic about the future of Tubo, and want to use my ability to help you resettle in Datang..."
The businessman smiled wryly, "Sure enough, he is an elite secret spy of the Tang Dynasty."
"Speak."
Chen Wude took a sip of tea comfortably.
The businessman lowered his voice, "I have a brother in the army. He came back quietly last night and asked me to hide at home and prepare more food."
"Talk about the great war, the more detailed the better, it is your credit."
The businessman said impassionedly: "I am loyal to Datang, why do I need any credit!"
But in an instant he apologized and said with a smile: "Maybe my family will go to Datang?"
Chen Wude said: "Look at your performance."
The businessman immediately changed his attitude and said solemnly: "Lu Dongzan was defeated in this battle. It is said that he used all kinds of means and even instigated the Turkic people, but the killer was well prepared and followed the trend. Lu Dongzan was defeated... 300,000 troops came back with more than a hundred riders! Miserable! Miserable! Miserable!"
Chen Wude's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
He got up, "It's better to hide."
He walked out of the merchant's house with his head slightly lowered, like an ordinary citizen whose life was not satisfactory, walking slowly on the empty street.
He has been in Tibet for many years. When he first came, he thought that he would be able to go back after a few years, but he never thought that he would not be able to go back after this.
The people of Baiqi will come here occasionally, bringing Chang'an's rewards and appeasement.
His son has already entered the school, and it is said that those who come out of the school can do things, so the people in Chang'an City are overwhelmed by this. But his children went in among the first batch.
The man of Baiqi came to pass the message.
—No one knows your name, no one knows your deeds.
At that moment, he felt it was worth it.
All the hard work was worth it.
He sniffed and blinked his eyes.
Big victory!
There is their credit here.
It was the information they provided continuously that allowed Datang to know the situation in Tubo thoroughly, so that he could respond accordingly.
I am a participant in this great victory!
Chen Wude raised his head, tears flowing wantonly.
With a big victory in this battle, half of their mission is completed.
After relaxing, he couldn't help it anymore.
What to do next?
Spread rumors, sow discord...
Chen Wude immediately went to find another businessman.
When Jia Pingan trained them back then, he said: Never pin your hopes on one person, it is very dangerous.
When the businessman saw him, his attitude changed drastically and he became obsequious.
This is the general trend!
"Go spread the word..."
…
The tense situation did not affect Qin Ling's mood. He had a good night's sleep and kept giving orders after getting up.
"The army has been cleaned up."
A general came to report, and Qin Ling smelled blood.
He said with satisfaction: "Very good."
He turned and went into the room.
Lu Dongzan opened his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.
"Father."
Lu Dongzan's eyes moved slightly, "How about over there?"
"Zanpu didn't move." Qin Ling said contemptuously, "He didn't dare to move."
"Don't underestimate your opponent." Lu Dongzan's breath was a little weak, "He is Zanpu, you can't attack first, otherwise you will lose righteousness. Once you lose righteousness, you will find yourself surrounded by enemies... Enemy everywhere."
Qin Ling frowned, "I wanted to use thunder to suppress everything..."
"No!"
Lu Dongzan grabbed his hand excitedly, "Qin Ling, absolutely not. If so, you will not be far from defeat."
He has been a powerful minister for many years, and he can be called an uncrowned king. But he never thought of usurping the throne.
Knock knock knock!
Someone knocked on the door, and Qin Ling went out immediately.
"There are rumors outside that the prime minister suffered a disastrous defeat in Anxi, and the 300,000 army was wiped out. Zanpu wanted to take this opportunity to destroy the prime minister's family... The action will be tonight, and the prime minister's family will not stay..."
Qin Ling sneered, "If he wants to do something, he won't let people spread these words. Unless he acts in a secret manner. If he acts in a non-secret manner, how can he be qualified to be my opponent?"
The person who came said: "There are still many people who say... that the prime minister was defeated in this battle. Knowing that Zanpu can't tolerate him, he has already mobilized the army and is preparing to bloodbath some cities."
"It's a rumor!"
Qin Ling's eyes flashed suddenly.
This is not a rumor!
He did have such a plan, but he never told anyone about this plan.
"A lot of people are in a state of panic and are rushing to buy food..."
This is a bad sign.
"People who have nothing to do are afraid to go out, people on the street are in a hurry..."
Mountains and rains are about to come and the wind is full of buildings!
Qin Ling said calmly: "We are preparing to do something, and Zanpu is also preparing to do it, but neither side has said anything about it. Now that it has been reported... that's okay."
He turned back and said to the inside: "The battlefield is ready, father, wait for my good news."
Lu Dongzan said out of breath: "Qinling, don't do it first, remember to remember!"
"I leave three thousand cavalry here..." Qin Ling nodded slightly, and closed the door, "Take care of father."
When he turned around again, his eyes were full of murderous intent.
"Jia Yi!"
Someone brought a armor.
Qin Ling stretched out his hands, and two attendants put on armor for him.
After putting on the armor, someone presented a long knife.
Qin Ling slowly pulled out a long knife, looked at the blade, smiled and said: "What a good head, you should cut it off with this knife!"
Boom!
The long knife returns to its sheath.
"Prepare…"
…
"Zanpu, Qinling has assembled an army."
Zamp stood up, "Is it finally here? Where is my army?"
He walked out. A group of generals saluted.
"Who is the traitor?" Zamp asked.
"The Ludongzan family!"
Everyone responded loudly.
Zanpu's eyes gradually became sharper, "I have endured it for many years, and now I should clean up the source!"
…
Time is silent, but it can leave marks.
Princess Wencheng looked at herself in the bronze mirror and said, "There is another wrinkle at the corner of the eye."
The maid smiled and said, "The princess looks ten years younger than women of the same age."
"What's the use of this?" Wen Cheng put down the bronze mirror and said slowly, "It's just a stinky skin."
"Princess!"
A maid hurried in.
"Our people risked their lives to send the news to the princess to be on guard, saying that Lu Dongzan was defeated and only saved himself. Zanpu will do it, and Qinling will do it too."
Wen Cheng was taken aback, "It's a big defeat."
She looked complicated, "They shouldn't provoke Datang..."
The maid turned around, "Close the gate!"
Boom!
The door closes.
The maids began to assemble.
"Saber!"
Hengdao appeared in Luoxie City.
"Bow and Arrow!"
"Put on armor!"
Put on the armor, gender will be hidden under the killing!
Everyone turned around.
"I will defend the princess to the death!"
Wen Cheng smiled slightly, "Women in the Tang Dynasty are not powerless, so bring a knife!"
…
Ask for a monthly pass!
