The personal guard hurried in and said anxiously: "Shang Lun, someone asked to see Shang Lun and said there was an emergency military situation!"

It doesn't seem like a good news. Qin Ling couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this. It seems that a tribe has rebelled. He really doesn't know how to live or die. He doesn't know the reason why those who follow me will prosper and those who go against me will perish.

"Let him come in, I want to see what emergency military information can be found!" Qin Ling didn't care at all. As long as he defeated Shannan and grabbed the little prince, he would be invincible. It would be easy to deal with the rebellious tribes.

Soon, the cavalry who reported the news was brought in.

"Shang Lun, Shang Lun, big things are not going well!"

Qin Ling couldn't help but frowned, and a wave of disgust suddenly arose in his heart, frowned and said, "What's the big deal? Is it a tribe that has rebelled again? Tell me, I want to see which tribe is tired of living again!"

"Shang Lun, it's not that tribe has rebelled, it's the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang army has attacked it!"

Qin Ling was shocked when he heard this, suddenly stood up and asked, "What did you say? The Tang army is attacking? Are you sure?"

"Confirm, the villain can guarantee the title! The villain's tribes were all plundered by the Tang people!" The cavalry who reported the news was so heartless that they could not cry.

Unexpectedly, there were people from the Tang Dynasty. Qin Ling was shocked and asked with a serious look on his face: "How many soldiers and horses do the Tang army have?"

The cavalry who reported the news shook his head and said, "I don't know how many villains are. Anyway, there are many, no less than tens of thousands of soldiers!"

Qin Ling waved his hand and said, "Okay, I know you, you go down!"

The cavalry who reported the news was confused and was taken down by the personal guards. He worked hard to risk his life to report the news, but it turned out like this? Is there no reward at all?

Qin Ling was in a very complicated mood at this moment, so how could he still have the mood to reward the cavalry who reported the news?

Qin Ling took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, and then began to think.

He did not expect that the Tang Dynasty would dare to send troops to attack them. After all, the Tang army had never taken the initiative to attack them. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was ambitious but never wanted to get involved in them, because the plateau was a natural barrier.

Unexpectedly, the Tang army took the initiative to attack now.

Now, there are two problems before him.

Did the Tang army annex their Tubo or just come to loot?

How many soldiers did the Tang army have?

According to previous news, there were about 100,000 soldiers and horses in the Tang Dynasty when they went to Tuyuhun. In the battle of Xinghai City, they lost nearly 100,000 cavalry. What about the Tang army?

Although the Tang army won the victory, he believed that the price the Tang army paid must be very heavy.

The Tang army took the initiative to attack them, but it was not a premeditated plan, but had heard of the civil strife in Tubo. Therefore, in such a short time, the Tang Dynasty could not mobilize more troops.

Moreover, the Tang army had to leave a army to guard Tuyuhun, so how many troops could the Tang army have?

At most, it's only 30,000 to 40,000!

Therefore, the Tang army did not want to occupy their Tubo, but just wanted to take advantage of the army's attack on Shannan to loot.

Thinking of this, Qin Ling's brows immediately stretched out. Isn't it just tens of thousands of Tang troops?

Although nearly 100,000 Tubo troops were killed in Xinghai City before, Qinling was not afraid of the Tang army because he felt that it was Songtsen Gampo.

After all, even a Tubo general was able to defeat the Tang army before. Songtsen Gampo personally led a 100,000 elite army, but lost and lost like a miserable dog.

Qinling is the pride of heaven. Isn’t he even better than a mere Tubo general?

So, after thinking about it, Qinling immediately regained his calmness. What's there to panic?

With just a few tens of thousands of Tang troops, can we still attack some cities in Xialuo?

Luoshecheng was their base camp, so although the old man led his troops to fight, he left him with a total of 20,000 troops to guard Luoshecheng.

Twenty thousand soldiers are enough to defend the city.

Unfortunately, there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses. If he could have more than 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses, he could make these tens of thousands of Tang troops come and go without a return!

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel excited.

Songtsen Gampo was defeated by the Tang army. If he could defeat the Tang army, what kind of reputation would he gain in Tubo?

What kind of reputation will it gain?

If the Tang army is defeated, will the tribes still rebel? Not all of them are coming to surrender?

What is Shannan worth? Isn’t it determined by a fight?

The more I thought about it, Qin Ling's heart became hotter.

No, I have to tell the old man about this quickly and ask him to send a 10,000 or 20,000 troops back, plus the defenders of some cities, and then they will kill the tens of thousands of Tang troops who want to take advantage of the situation and rob.

Thinking of this, Qin Ling immediately picked up his pen and wrote it. After writing the letter, he immediately sent someone to deliver the letter to the old man.

At the same time, Qinling also sent cavalry out to investigate, explore the traces of the Tang army, and investigate how many soldiers and horses the Tang army had.

News of the Tang army's attack inevitably spread in Luoshe City, but the people and officials and soldiers in Luoshe City were not as confident as Qin Ling.

After all, Songtsen Gampo has a huge reputation in the hearts of the Tubo people.

It is precisely because of its huge reputation that the defeat in Xinghai City shocked the Tubo people even more.

Now that I heard that the Tang army was attacking, it would be impossible for the people in Luoshe City to say that it would not be nervous.

If Tubo is still unified, there is no civil war or fragmentation, they will not be nervous. After all, this is in Tubo, and they will not be afraid even if the Tang army comes.

But now the Tubo has long been divided into pieces, and Lu Dongzan even brought a large army to attack Shannan. Only 20,000 troops were left in Luoshe City. Who knows if he could defend it?

After the cavalry who reported the news left, Qinling checked the city defense and gathered all the left-behind generals.

"In my estimate, the Tang army has only 40,000 to 50,000 troops, and is also a tired army from afar. Moreover, they may not be able to adapt to our plateau. I think if we take the initiative to attack, can we defeat the Tang army? Everyone talks about it, and we can gather our thoughts." Qin Ling asked.

The generals were stunned after hearing this, and they still wanted to take the initiative?

Since they learned that the Tang army was attacking, they have been thinking about how to defend the city, without even thinking about taking the initiative.

There are only 20,000 troops in the city, and they are not elite cavalry. How can they take the initiative? It would be great to be able to defend the city!

"Shang Ren, although the Tang army is a tired army, its military strength is definitely far better than us. We may not be able to gain an advantage even if we take the initiative. In the view of the last general, it is better to stick to the city."

"Yes, Shang Lun, sticking to some cities is the best strategy!"
