After several major battles, the Shannan Alliance Army suffered heavy losses in succession, so there was no problem in drawing 10,000 or 20,000 troops back.

After hearing this, the generals nodded in agreement. Their families were all in Luoshe City, so naturally they hoped that Luoshe City could be kept as solid as a god.

"What the big shot said!" The generals nodded and agreed.

However, the generals did not volunteer because they all understood that going back to guard the city of Lu is not necessarily a contribution, and attacking Shannan to welcome the little prince was a great achievement.

Lu Dongzan was so scheming that he didn't understand their thoughts. His eyes slowly swept across the crowd, and finally stopped at a general and said in a deep voice: "Bagmu, you lead 20,000 cavalry back to help Lushecheng. As long as Lushecheng can be defended, I will remember you a great achievement!"

Although Bagmu was reluctant, but after saying so, can he still refuse?

"The last general receives the order, and the last general is willing to issue a military order, and will never let Luoshe be in trouble!" Bagmu bowed and took the order.

After hearing this, the other generals forced themselves to roll their eyes. The Tang army had only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Does the 40,000 troops guarding Luoshecheng still require a military order? If they lose Luoshecheng, just find a rope and hang it on it.

Lu Dongzan instructed: "Bagmu, you should not be careless when leading the army back to the aid. Be careful. If the Tang army has surrounded Luosie City, then you wait for an opportunity. If the Tang army has not surrounded Luosie City, then you can lead troops directly into the city. In addition, if you tell Qinling, just say it is me, and he must stick to it and not fight. Wait until I win and triumphantly defeat the Tang army again! Go!"

"The army has rested for three incense sticks, and then continue to advance. We have all dispersed and ready to go!"

The generals dispersed one after another after hearing this. However, after the generals dispersed, Lu Dongzan's face changed, and the calmness on his face disappeared, replaced by solemnity, unprecedented solemnity.

Although he said just now that the Tang army was only to loot, he actually didn't think so. He just said that it was just to stabilize the morale of the army.

Because he had been to the Tang Dynasty, he had met Su Cheng, Li Ji, and Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so he knew very well the ambitions of Emperors of the Tang Dynasty, Su Cheng and Li Ji, the important officials of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang army risked the danger and led the army to cross the plateau to plunder the Tubo?

How is that possible?

Li Ji, Su Cheng and others disdained how rich the Tang Dynasty was? In comparison, Tubo was like a remote village. Even the richest city in Tubo was not as good as the city of Minzhou, not to mention that compared with big cities like Chang'an and Luoyang, it was not even comparable to that of Minzhou.

Therefore, Lu Dongzan was sure that the Tang army was not trying to loot Tubo.

Then there is only one possibility. The Tang Dynasty wanted to completely occupy Tubo while it was civil strife!

If the Tang army wanted to occupy Tubo, how could it be that there were only 40,000 to 50,000 troops?

Therefore, he felt that Qin Ling's words on the letter were not reliable.

He didn't know how many casualties the Tang army suffered in the Battle of Xinghai City, but he was very sure that the Tang army would have more than 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers.

Therefore, he sent 20,000 troops back to Lushe City, and at the same time he ordered Qinling not to leave the city for a battle.

Lu Dongzan looked up at the distance, and the solemn expression on his face eased.

Fortunately, he was about to capture Shannan. As long as he captured Shannan and welcomed the little prince back, he would be confident of defeating the Tang army.

After all, this is Tubo and this is the plateau.

The right time and place are all on his side. As for people, as long as the little prince is welcomed back and the initiative to jointly resist the invasion of the Tang Dynasty will definitely gain the support of many tribes.

If you fight with your own people, you can't let outsiders pick peaches.

Thinking of this, Lu Dongzan felt a little more hopeful.

For him, the Tang army's attack was both a challenge and an opportunity.

The Tang army's strong combat power is a challenge, but this challenge can help him gather all tribes together. Once he defeats the Tang army, he will also gain great reputation.

After all, Songtsen Gampo had just brought a hundred thousand troops to death at Xinghai City, which brought great humiliation to all Tubo people.

Therefore, for him, the most important thing now is to capture Shannan. As long as the little prince is taken back, he can turn around and defeat the Tang army, and then the big thing can be decided!

However, if the little prince is not retaken, he will be attacked from front and back, and the situation will be very critical.

"Tell the three armies to continue the march!" Lu Dongzan ordered in a deep voice.

The vast army continued to penetrate into the south of the mountain, and the troops pointed directly at the Qiongjie in the south of the mountain.

Qiongjie was once the capital of Tubo, but after Songtsen Gampo fought south and north to unify the plateau, in order to better rule Tubo, the capital was moved to Loga.

Although moving the capital to Songtsen Gampo would be able to better rule Tubo, they were extremely disappointed for the people in Shannan, especially Qiongjie.

The city of Qiongjie, which was originally prosperous, is gradually declining, but the city of Luoshe has become even more prosperous and has quickly become the largest city in Tubo.

Therefore, when Princess Zhenzhu and the princess fled back to Qiongjie City with the little prince, the entire Qiongjie City and even the entire tribes in Shannan were in full swing.

They hoped to revive Shannan's former glory, and the arrival of the princess and the little prince gave them hope, so the tribes in Shannan all united to support the little prince.

They felt that as long as they defeated Lu Dongzan, the Zhenzhu Princess and the princess, they would definitely lead the little prince to re-define the capital as Qiongjie.

Then, there was a three-game losing streak.

Although the Shannan Alliance Army is strong in morale and its strength is equal to that of Lu Dongzan, in terms of its ability to lead troops to fight, Lu Dongzan is more than one street away from them.

In the palace of Qiongjie City, news of another defeat came. The palace, which had just recovered a little, seemed to be frozen.

Although it was not yet winter, the atmosphere in the hall was very cold.

The princess holding Gongri Gongzan's face was very pale and murmured: "How could this happen? How could this happen? We have so many soldiers and so many tribes to support us, why can't we beat Lu Dongzan, the traitor?"

Princess Zhenzhu bit her lips gently and her face was pale, and she said in a deep voice: "When my brother was alive, he could praise Lu Dongzan, saying that Lu Dongzan was very powerful in war. Now that my brother is gone, no one can suppress him."

The princess asked nervously: "Princess, what should I do now?"
