Chapter 1091 Take action
Although Lhasa City was majestic and magnificent as the capital of the Tubo Kingdom, it could not be considered a qualified capital.
At least that's what the King of Chu sees.
"Master, are we going to take action tonight?" Aya, who was wearing a veil and riding a horse with His Royal Highness Prince Chu into the city, looked at the surging crowd on the street and suddenly whispered in His Royal Highness Prince Chu's ear: "Then you and the little Taoist priest should withdraw... Don't worry, leave it to me..."
"Aya..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu looked at Aya and felt a headache: "I came here to conquer Tubo, not to massacre the city..."
"Oh, Master!" Aya blinked when she heard that. "Master, I didn't say massacre in the city... What I meant was that I knocked down everyone in the Tubo palace, and when those ministers in the capital started fighting for the mountain, we would come in and fish in troubled waters to be the ones who profited!"
"That's too slow. I can't wait." His Royal Highness the King of Chu sighed and said, "Aya, we still have to go to Tianzhu."
"Where is Tianzhu?" Aya was stunned at first, then said: "The weather is cold now... It's not suitable for traveling long distances..."
"I know what's going on." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu looked at Aya and said, "Okay, Aya, let's find an inn to stay in first and then take action tonight."
"Okay..."
-------------------------------------
"The Prime Minister hasn't returned yet?" At the same time, in the Tubo Palace, Songtsen Gampo felt that something was getting increasingly wrong: "It's been almost two months..."
"Zanpu, we have sent people to the Prime Minister's territory to inquire, and the answer we got is still the same as last time: the Prime Minister is ill and needs to rest." Upon hearing this, Sang Suo had to give the standard answer: "The Prime Minister should know his mistake, but there is no suitable way out at the moment..."
"Do I need to give him a way out?" Songtsen Gampo twitched his lips when he heard this, but he finally held back: "Okay... Yesha, then I'll trouble you to make the trip--"
"Zanpu, I think there is another important matter at the moment." Yecha didn't know what Zanpu and Sangsuo were thinking about all day. It seemed that the two of them couldn't find the most critical issue at all: "Chang'an has decided to send troops, but the delegation has not sent back any news yet..."
"I already know what you said." Songtsen Gampo was immediately angry when he heard it: "What else is there to say? The Tang Dynasty is so overbearing, do you really expect me to sit there and wait for death?"
"What I mean is..." Yecha now understood that the reason why the Zamp was angry was because he suddenly mentioned the matter of the Tang Dynasty sending troops, which was completely to slap him in the face.
The pressure from the Tang Dynasty on Tubo was so great that Songtsen Gampo realized that if he could not invite Lu Dongzan back, he would not be able to handle such a crisis alone.
"You don't need to say anything." Songtsen Gampo was still young after all, and he was even more aggressive: "If Lu Dongzan wants to come back, then he can come back. If he wants to continue pretending to be sick, I won't stop him.
I still don’t believe that the Tang army can reach the plateau! "
"Zanpu, what I want to talk about now is not just the dispatch of the Tang army." Yecha really wanted to turn into a yaksha at this moment, and then stab his own Zanpu's kidney with a fork: "I always feel that... there is something fishy here..."
"What's so strange?" Songtsen Gampo looked at Yecha after hearing this.
"I...can't tell..."
"Are you kidding me?" Songtsen Gampo was angry.
"..." Upon hearing this, Yecha had no choice but to lower his head.
"Get out!" The furious Zamp no longer maintained his usual calm demeanor - his intuition told him that the reason Lu Dongzan gave when he returned to his fiefdom was not perfunctory.
He really believed that the King of Chu from the Tang Dynasty would raid the city of Lhasa.
The reason why the other party finally changed his mind and did not return was probably because he felt that he was powerless to change the situation.
Ah……
Powerless?
My king's Luoshui City has a full 50,000 troops stationed there! These days, the inspections of people entering the city have been strengthened, and even caravans have not been spared.
Can the opponent, Mo Feng, descend from the sky like a god? !
When he thought of this, Songtsen Gampo's eyes became even more sinister.
He didn't believe it, even if he died.
Luoshui City is not the Thousand Springs City. Luoshui City is located on a plateau, and its tall and majestic royal palace is more like a palace of gods.
He, Songtsen Gampo, is a king who lives in the palace of gods and is blessed by gods!
He will not fail!
-------------------------------------
That night, the city of Lhasa was under curfew, and apart from the occasional patrolling soldiers on the streets and the occasional dignitaries passing by with their guards, there was no other movement.
"Master, are we going to do it tonight?" Unlike the other retainers who accompanied him this time, Xue Wanjun was a steady person: "I don't doubt you... but... we are just a handful of people?"
"Mr. Xue, don't worry." In the inn, His Royal Highness the King of Chu sat in the main seat, looking at the retainers in front of him, and suddenly said: "For this battle, I only have 2,000 troops, so we must fight quickly and break through quickly. First, we will attack the Tubo Palace, and then guard the palace gate. After daybreak, I will clean up the palace, and then counterattack and fight out of the city.
Afterwards, we will march southwards and attack Tianzhu until we meet up with the army led by Wang Xuance in Tianzhu."
"Two thousand people? Where are they?" Aya held a roasted lamb leg in each hand and asked while eating, "Why can't I see them?"
"You will see it in a moment." After saying this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu stood up and said solemnly to the other stern-faced retainers, "Rush is my eldest daughter, so I will not allow any villain to have any idea of her. Songtsen Gampo is the king in Tubo, but why don't he come to the Central Plains to try?
You want to be my in-laws, what a piece of shit!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu said this, and he got angry: "Listen to me, whoever can capture Songtsen Gampo alive in this battle, I will grant him a city as a fiefdom!"
"Your Highness, this is inappropriate..." Su Dingfang was shocked when he heard this: "Your Majesty will not agree..."
"You can choose any of the big cities in India, such as Kusumu, Gaya, and Chanpo." His Royal Highness the King of Chu did not refute the words, but added: "My words are always as good as gold. Even if Zhinu rules India in the future, this promise will still stand."
Now, no one else was speechless.
"Your Highness, shall we start now?" As the future chief priest of the Dou family, Zhang Zhenxuan saw that the atmosphere had come to this point. He suddenly opened the window of the room, looked around, and then his eyes were focused on the magnificent temple in the city.
"Boom..." In an instant, muffled thunder was heard in the sky.
“Little Taoist Priest…” Yuan Tiangang was stunned at this moment. Damn it… No wonder he was appreciated by the patriarch. He was clearly told to take action and was still asking questions at the beginning, but it became an execution in the blink of an eye?
“After we go downstairs, there may be an unarmored black-clad warrior beside each of you at any time. They will convey my orders and you just have to execute them.” Seeing that Zhang Zhenxuan had already made his starting gesture, His Royal Highness the King of Chu naturally would not be vague.
"Yes!" All the retainers responded loudly.
"Let's do it." His Royal Highness the King of Chu then turned his gaze to Zhang Zhenxuan.
But Zhang Zhenxuan closed the window at this time.
And just at the moment he closed the window.
"Rumble--"
The city of Lhasa outside suddenly became as bright as day. A thick bolt of lightning fell straight from the sky. In an instant, the majestic Buddhist temple in the city was engulfed in flames.
Before anyone could react, the fire of hell quietly rose up, as if it was going to engulf the entire city of Luoshui...
