Chapter 1473 Falling Rocks
Princess Zhenzhu sighed after hearing this: "The Grand Prime Minister is really loyal to Tubo. Zhengzan Zangdun lost to Tuyuhun. Now the whereabouts are unknown. The Grand Prime Minister asked Qinling to lead troops to Tuyuhun overnight. When his brother returns, he will definitely not forget the loyalty and achievements of the Grand Prime Minister."
After hearing this, Lu Dongzan said humbly: "The princess said this, it is really a traitor to the old minister. It is the duty of the old minister to fulfill his loyalty to Zanpu. Besides, Zanpu has the kindness of knowing the old minister, so why should the old minister be broken into pieces?"
Princess Zhenzhu nodded and said, "Brother, you, a loyal minister like Da Xiang, will definitely turn danger into safety. Da Xiang, the most important thing is two things now. One is to rescue your brother, and the second is to maintain stability."
"It is said to the outside world that Zanpu has escaped the pursuit of the Tang army and is on his way back to Tubo. Maintaining stability depends on the great prime minister."
Lu Dongzan nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, princess, with the old minister here, there will be no trouble."
With Lu Dongzan's promise, Princess Zhenzhu felt relieved and said resolutely: "Okay, the cities of the Lu are left to Daxiang. I want to gather a group of guards to go to Tuyuhun to find my brother."
Lu Dongzan was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly said, "Princess, this must not be done!"
Princess Zhenzhu asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Lu Dongzan explained: "After all, the old minister is just a minister, and the princess needs to be in charge, so that the situation can be maintained. In some cases, the old minister is not easy to make decisions, so the princess needs to make decisions."
"And the prince is still in his infancy. What he fears most is that someone is not good for the prince. The princess should stay and protect the prince. The old minister dared to say, if, if, if, even the prince..."
Originally, Princess Zhenzhu planned to give in to Tuyuhun after she had finished explaining, so she took the guards to search for the whereabouts of her brother. Although Qinling had already led the troops, she definitely did not dare to go too far.
But, she dares!
Even if she dies in Tuyuhun, she will find her brother!
However, after hearing Lu Dongzan's words, she couldn't help but hesitate, yes, there is also a little nephew.
She must stay to take care of her nephew. If her brother really dies in Tuyuhun, this is her only blood.
Lu Dongzan said in a deep voice: "I know that the princess cares about Zanpu. In fact, even if the princess takes the guards to Tuyuhun, it will not play much role, because the princess doesn't know anything about Tuyuhun at all. Therefore, according to my opinion, the princess will stay in Luoshecheng to wait for details, and can take care of the little prince at the same time."
"Don't worry, princess, the old minister must send more people to rescue Zamp."
Princess Zhenzhu nodded and said, "Okay, if there is any news, please send someone to tell me as soon as possible."
Under the scorching sun, a group of cavalry ran on the road. They looked unkempt and very depressed. The leader was Songtsen Gampo.
However, Songtsen Gampo, who was originally energetic, now looks like a homeless man on the plateau, and there is no way to see the nobility and majesty of Tubo Zampo.
Songtsen Gampo took the thousand guards in a big circle, feeling that the Tang army had withdrawn the pursued cavalry, so he turned back to the difficult situation and returned to Tubo with caution.
It was just that after spending so much time, the dry food had been consumed long ago, and they did not dare to force the small Tuyuhun tribes scattered all over the place for fear of being exposed, so they lived a very difficult life, which could be said to be a waste of people and horses.
However, although they had worked very hard to persevere, they had never encountered the pursuers of the Tang Dynasty since they escaped from the siege. It can be seen that the hardships along the way are worth it.
Moreover, you will be able to return to Tubo immediately. As long as you enter Tubo, it will be completely safe. Not only will it be safe, but you will also receive supplies, you can eat meat and drink fine wine.
"Everyone insisted on it. After crossing that mountain, we could return to Tubo. That is, we had already gotten rid of the pursuits of Tubo. After crossing that mountain, we could eat meat and drink wine!" Songtsen Gampo shouted loudly.
The somewhat listless guards couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. When they thought that they would soon be able to eat meat and drink horse milk wine, their saliva flowed out.
Although he would be able to return to Tubo immediately, Songtsen Gampo still did not relax his vigilance, and he carefully observed while urging the horse to move forward.
Any large army will leave traces after passing through, and the larger the cavalry, the more obvious the traces it leaves.
People can control bowel movements, but they cannot control horse bowel movements, so the army will definitely leave horse manure after walking.
Especially in this narrow valley, it is even more obvious.
However, they did not find the dense horse manure. Songtsen Gampo breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "This place is remote and difficult to move. Tang Jun did not chase it here. Everyone should hurry up and pass through this mountain quickly and we will go home!"
Many personal guards couldn't help but cheer after hearing this. They even prepared to die in battle. Is it finally safe now?
Songtsen Gampo turned his head and ordered: "Send someone to notify the scouts who investigated, so that they can come back soon! The rest will speed up!"
Although the valley is very narrow and is not conducive to the advance of the army, Songtsen Gampo only has eight or nine hundred personal guards, which can pass quickly. The most pitiful thing is that they have no extra supplies just now.
Both Songtsen Gampo and the guards were a little excited and felt like they were escaping from death.
At first they were frustrated by the army's failure, but later, they just wanted to survive.
Now that they have finally escaped from death, why aren't they excited?
The war horse was galloping, as if even the war horse could feel the joy of getting rid of danger.
Turn the mountain pass in front and arrive in Tubo, which is safe!
It was the mountain of Tubo, and it was the blue sky of Tubo. When he looked up, he was suddenly stunned. There were mountain eagles circling and chirping in the blue sky.
Songtsen Gampo's face changed drastically, and suddenly stopped the war horses. He looked up at the war horses hovering in the sky and said in a deep voice: "No, there may be an ambush here! Turn around quickly, the back team will become the front team and exit the valley!"
With Songtsen Gampo's loud shout, the guards around him were shocked and all shouted in panic.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
"Come on your way back!"
"There is a possible ambush ahead!"
"Where is an ambush?"
Just as the guards turned around in panic, they suddenly heard a rumbling sound.
Before, many huge rocks suddenly rolled down from the top of the mountain, and the rumbling huge rocks accumulated in the past, blocking their retreat.
