Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Chapter 191 The peak showdown between Tang and Tu!

I have to say that Captain Mojin was really fast at digging holes. He dug out an escape passage in just one day.

After confirming that there was no problem in burying the explosives, Fan Xin led dozens of guards to the tower and waited for the arrival of the Tibetans.

"Reporting to the General, a large Tibetan army has been discovered twenty miles outside Liangzhou City!" the guard jumped off his horse and held his fists in his arms.

"Take the brothers and leave. I want to meet this first Tibetan general in person."

Fan Xin gathered his clothes and sat on the floor, his hands on the piano table.

Along with the rapid sound of strings, a song of "Ambush from Flying Daggers" echoed in the empty city.

At the same time, the yellow sand desert.

A war flag was fluttering, and the Tibetan army swept towards Liangzhou in neat formations. The place they passed along the way was filled with sand and smoke.

One of the men with sharp eyes and a fierce face was riding on a horse, raising his head and looking forward.

If there is a famous general of the Tang Dynasty here, he will definitely recognize this person as Lun Qinling, the famous first general of Tubo.

A legendary man who defeated Xue Rengui on the battlefield of Dafeichuan.

"Prime Minister, according to the reports from the scouts, Liangzhou City is fifteen miles ahead."

Lieutenant General Lu Dongzan said, Chicun said.

Lun Qinling withdrew his gaze and nodded expressionlessly.

"There is an old saying among the Han people that to capture the thief first, capture the king. Currently, the Tang army is firmly focused on the four towns of Anxi. It will not be easy to break the deadlock there."

"So this time when we venture to Liangzhou, we must attack the city in one fell swoop and trap Wu Zetian."

"This forced the Tang army from the four towns of Anxi to come to rescue."

“Only in this way can we in Tibet create a new situation in Anxi.

Hearing this, Ludong praised Chicun and laughed.

"It's ridiculous that Wu Zetian wants to join forces with the King of Tubo to deal with you. It's so stupid and terrible."

Hearing these words, a dark-faced old man shook his head.

"Prime Minister, although we intercepted the secret message sent by Tang Dynasty to the King of Tubo this time."

"But you still need to be cautious in everything. I heard a few days ago that you publicly executed Numu Le because you were dissatisfied with him for stealing and insulting the family general."

"This matter has caused great dissatisfaction with Tride Songtsan."

"I told the leader of Tuyuhun in private that even Qinling dared to kill my followers, so what else could he not dare to do?"

Lun Qinling waved his hand indifferently.

"Mr. Damu is overly worried. The impact of Numu Le's killing of soldiers is too bad. This prime minister is only doing the killing for Tride Songtsen. He will not be dissatisfied."

The deputy general on the side also echoed.

"Yes, the Prime Minister has made great military exploits for Tubo and is deeply loved by the people."

"It's too late for Chide Songtsan to be happy, so how can he blame the prime minister for a trivial matter?"

Seeing that the two of them didn't take his words seriously, the old man sighed and stopped talking.

He has lived in the Tang Dynasty for many years and knows an ancient Chinese saying.

If the master's achievements are high and the master is shocked, the master will be suspicious.

At this time, several scouts came on horseback and jerked the reins.

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, Liangzhou City is found ahead!"

"Explore again!"

"Yes!"

After the scouts left, Lun Qinling raised his whip and said coldly to the generals.

"Everyone, it's time to make great achievements!"

"drive!"

In an instant, the 100,000 Tibetan army turned into a desert torrent and rushed towards Liangzhou.

The magnitude of the momentum is frightening.

Soon, a simple and towering city appeared in front.

Looking at Liangzhou City with its gates wide open, the Tubo army gradually stopped.

"What's going on? Why is there not even a single person in this huge city?"

Riding his horse around twice in front of the city gate, Lun Qinling's eyes were filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Before coming, he thought that Tang Wenyu would fail, and was even prepared for the Tang army to resist tenaciously.

As a result, he never expected that Liangzhou City didn't even have city defenses set up.

Years of war experience told him that the Tang people must have ambushed heavy troops inside.

"Hmph! Do you really think that I don't understand Sun Tzu's Art of War?"

"It's not that easy to lure me into a trap."

Lun Qinling waved his whip and ordered.

"I am giving the order to the three armies to retreat ten miles back. They are not allowed to enter Liangzhou without the permission of the Prime Minister!"

"As ordered!"

After evacuating the army to a safe location, Lun Qinling asked a few scouts to go into the city to feel out the situation.

As the sun set, just when he thought the scouts had been killed by the Tang army inside, several subordinates rushed out.

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, there is no ambush in the city, only a young man."

"what!"

The generals were in an uproar, thinking that they had heard wrongly. There was only one person in the important border town.

How can this be?

Lun Qinling's face darkened and he said with murderous intent.

"You guys dare to lie about the military situation. Kill everyone who comes!"

"Send a few more people in to investigate!"

The old man frowned and said: "Prime Minister, these scouts are your personal soldiers and they shouldn't lie."

"Maybe the Tang army retreated on its own."

Lun Qinling glanced at him and said calmly.

"The truth has been with the Tang Dynasty for decades. From what I know about them, the Tang army has never had the habit of abandoning the city and escaping."

"They must have set up an ambush inside and are waiting for us to take the bait."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the second group of scouts who went to inquire about the situation also came back.

"The Prime Minister, there is indeed only one young man inside!"

"Strange, what kind of tactics is this?" Lun Qinling frowned deeply.

In his many years on the battlefield, he has never seen such unconventional tactics.

"What does that person do?" Lun Qinling asked.

"When I came back to the Prime Minister, it was a young man who, according to the notice in the city, seemed to be the marching commander of Longyou Road, General Longhu."

As soon as these words came out, Lun Qinling didn't realize anything, but the old man's face showed a look of ecstasy.

"Congratulations, Prime Minister, congratulations, Prime Minister, we caught a big fish."

"Oh? Could it be that Mr. Damu knows this young man?" Lun Qinling asked curiously.

"Not bad!" The old man nodded and said excitedly: "I heard of his name when I was in the Central Plains."

"This man's name is Fan Xin. He is Wu Zetian's most trusted minister, and his importance far exceeds that of ordinary royal family members."

"If we catch him, not only can we severely damage the Tang Dynasty, but we can also force Wu Zetian to sign an alliance under the city!"

Seeing that the old man admired Fan Xin so much, Lun Qinling's gloomy face finally showed a smile.

"Forget it, since Fan Xin is ready, I will go to the city to meet him."

"Let's see if he is as magical as the legend says!"

After saying this, he whipped the horse on the buttocks and led the leading army into the city gate.

As they entered the city, there was a faint sound of rapid piano music on the deserted streets.

It makes people feel inexplicably nervous.

When Lun Qinling came to the tower with an army of 30,000 vanguards, he saw a young man wearing golden armor sitting cross-legged on it.

He was stroking the strings in front of him with great concentration.

The song is over.

Fan Xin pressed the strings with both hands, raised his head and looked at the Tibetan troops under the tower, and finally fell on Lun Qinling.

"Concerning Qinling, how about Fan's song "Ambush from Flying Daggers"?

Looking at the young man on the tower, a hint of sarcasm flashed across the corner of Lun Qinling's mouth.

"I thought it was someone who set up such a trap to lure the enemy in, but it turned out to be a young boy."

"Let those of you who are ambushing outside the city come in. You are not qualified to ambush the true army of 100,000 people."
