Chapter 353 Breaking out of Chang'an
Outside Chang'an City, the Tubo scholar Lu Dongzan sighed after hearing the news that Li Shimin and three thousand veterans of Tiance Mansion had died in battle.
Lu Dongzan had some friendship with Li Shimin. When Lu Dongzan came to Chang'an on behalf of Songtsan Gambo to marry Princess Wencheng, he showed extraordinary talents and was appreciated by Li Shimin. Li Shimin even wanted to keep Lu Dongzan as an official in Chang'an. But he was rejected by Lu Dongzan.
Therefore, when he heard the news that Li Shimin died in battle, Lu Dongzan also sighed deeply.
I thought to myself, Li Shimin, although you and I have some friendship, the interests of the country are above all else, and I, Lu Dongzan, cannot be selfish.
Since Li Shimin and three thousand white-haired veterans have gone into battle, it seems that Chang'an is no longer guarded. He can invade Chang'an and trample the capital of the Tang Empire under his feet!
Now that the vitality of the Western Turks is greatly weakened, the land of the Tang Dynasty will be slaughtered by Tubo. Sooner or later, the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty will belong to Tubo!
"Father, Li Shimin is dead, but the Tang Dynasty still has Li Zhen. Only by killing or capturing Li Zhen alive can the Tang Dynasty truly subjugate." Qin Ling said.
Ludongzan had five sons, the eldest son Zanxi, the second son Qinling, the third son Zhengzan, the fourth son Dagu, and the fifth son Zanlian. All of these five sons were capable, but the one with the most military ability was undoubtedly Qin. Lu Dongzan believes that Qinling will be the best candidate for Tubo to inherit his position in the future.
After listening to Qin Ling's words, Lu Dongzan nodded. Lu Dongzan and Li Zhen had cooperated before. When Li Zhen attacked Tianzhu, he went to Tubo with Lu Dongzan. At that time, Li Zhen had just fledged, but he had already shown his talents. , showing great talent.
Not long ago, Li Zhen defeated the Western Turks' 400,000 troops with only 50,000 troops. Now, he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty. No, once Li Shimin dies, he will be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and will definitely be a powerful opponent of Tubo.
Although he can incite officials from various parts of the Tang Dynasty to separatist regimes, with Li Zhen's ability, there is no guarantee that he will not come back again. Keeping Li Zhen is definitely a huge hidden danger, so Li Zhen must be found.
Thinking of this, Lu Dongzan said: "After entering the city, immediately search the whole city. We must catch Li Zhen. We must see him alive and see his body dead!"
With Li Shimin's death in battle, Chang'an's resistance has come to an end.
Li Zhen used 20,000 old and weak soldiers to resist the 200,000 Tibetan army for seven days and seven nights. However, Chang'an finally fell, and the 200,000 Tibetan army swarmed in and entered the city of Chang'an.
Lu Dongzan did not order the soldiers to plunder wantonly, because doing so would lose the support of the people. However, when the Tubo people attacked Chang'an this time, they did not intend to rob Chang'an and then leave, but to prepare to occupy Chang'an for a long time, and then use Chang'an as their base. As the center, it annexed the rest of the Tang Dynasty's territory one by one, and eventually swallowed up all the Tang Dynasty.
For this reason, Lu Dongzan paid great attention to winning people's hearts. At the very least, he could not let the people of the Tang Dynasty violently resist, and then divide the Tang Dynasty into troubled times ruled by small warlords as planned, swallowing up the Tang Dynasty bit by bit.
Lu Dongzan believed that as long as he followed his plan, the Tang Dynasty would be annexed by Tubo within ten years. By then, Tubo would have become an extremely powerful country!
After receiving Lu Dongzan's order, Qinling immediately ordered the soldiers to march into Chang'an City. At the same time, the whole city was looking for Li Zhen.
At the east gate of Chang'an City, Li Zhen led an escort of two hundred Yulin troops and fought towards the city gate.
Prior to this, Li Zhen sent five hundred Yulin troops to escort his wife and children out of the north gate to Lingzhou to find Pei Xingjian's Tang army. He also wanted to leave with his mother, Concubine Yan De, but Concubine Yan De heard that Li Shimin was out of the city. After fighting to the death, he declined Li Zhen's kindness.
She wanted to live and die with Chang'an, and live and die with Li Shimin, and then burned herself. Li Zhen had no choice but to take several wives and children to the east gate to kill.
In the seven-day battle, the defenders of Chang'an City had suffered all casualties, and these 500 Yulin troops were Li Zhen's last strength.
At this time, all four gates of Chang'an City have been captured, but there are fewer Tibetan troops at the east gate. This is also Li Zhen's only chance to escape.
Li Zhen has asked everyone to put on Tibetan clothes and run towards the east gate.
We met two groups of Tubo troops on the road, but seeing that Li Zhen and others were wearing Tubo clothes, they did not intercept them and arrived at the east gate without any danger.
"Who are you?" a Tibetan soldier asked loudly at the east gate of the city.
Li Zhen had stayed in Tubo for more than a year, so she also learned some Tubo dialect. She immediately said loudly in Tubo dialect with a logical accent: "I am the imperial guard of Da Lun Ludongzan. I was ordered by Da Lun to go out to hunt and kill people." Prince Li Zhen of the Tang Dynasty, open the city gate quickly!"
"Do you have a token to leave the city?" The guard at the head of the city heard Li Zhen's Tubo accent and was already convinced, but he still asked in a routine manner.
Li Zhen had already prepared and took out a fake token. Now that it was getting late, it was impossible for the people on the top of the city to see clearly the authenticity of the token in Li Zhen's hand.
Sure enough, when the people at the top of the city saw Li Zhen taking out the token, they became suspicious again and ordered their subordinates: "Go and open the city gate!"
"etc!"
At this moment, a young Tubo general appeared at the top of the city.
"General Dagu!" The guard general saluted the young Tubo general.
The General of Tubo said to Li Zhen at the top of the city: "I am Dagu, the third son of Da Lun. You said you are a guard of Da Lun. What is your name? Why haven't I seen you before?"
When Li Zhen heard this, she unexpectedly met Lu Dongzan's son. When he was in Luoxe City, he had met Dagu once. Fortunately, it was dark now, so he didn't recognize him.
At that moment Li Zhen said: "General Dagu, I am Tashi. I was just transferred to Da Lun not long ago."
"General, this man speaks in a dialect of logic, so there should be nothing wrong with him." The guard said.
Dagu nodded and said: "Open the city gate!"
The next moment, the east gate of Chang'an City slowly opened, and Li Zhen whispered: "Let's go!"
At this moment, Li Zhen led five hundred cavalry to the east gate.
"Bon voyage!" At this moment, Dagu at the top of the city suddenly said loudly.
"Thank you!" As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Li Zhen knew it was not good. The Tibetan general at the top of the city said this "bon voyage" in Chinese.
So damn cunning!
"Hurry and close the city gate, they are the Tang Army!"
On top of the city, Dagu roared.
"My day!"
Li Zhen took out the m1911 from her arms and shot Dagu at the top of the city.
"ah!"
Dagu¡¯s head stuck out of the city wall, and there was a torch beside him, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark sky, so Li Zhen¡¯s shot was extremely accurate, hitting Dagu¡¯s head.
Dagu¡¯s body suddenly fell from the top of the city to the ground.
"General!" The Tibetan army was in chaos at the top of the city.
"Come over!" Li Zhen yelled.
The next moment, the 200 Yulin troops all let out a shout and charged towards the city gate.
"kill!"
Nina and Daya kept waving their scimitars, killing the Tibetan troops blocking the road one by one (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
