As soon as the results of the casualty statistics came out, it turned out that his face was not good, and his face was even more ugly.

The Tang Dynasty left less than a hundred corpses, and the number of people lost in the Tibetan side exceeded 5,000, most of them were one of the four iron guards in the north camp of Zhenbei, Ku Da Ting specially looked at the Zhennan general Pubu, the known as the Nanshan Tiger Pubu, there was a bloody hole in his right foot, it is said that he was injured by a fire bullet of the Tang army, and he was hit by an arrow in his left shoulder, lying on the straw mat and humming.

The majestic Nanshan Tiger in the past was just a face-to-face with the Tang Army, and became a lame tiger, and he shook his head when he saw it.

The fall of another tiger general in Tubo who was firmly anti-Tang was a major loss and bad news for Ku Dating and others.

In addition to the fall of the Nanshan Tiger, Ku Dating also received three bad news, one is that someone found an army composed of Tubo people in the ranks of the Tang Army, and the leader was Pu Bajia, the Sima official of the original Luo City, it is said that when charging, Pu Ba Jia personally led people to rush to the front, and most of the corpses left by the Tang Army were Tubo soldiers who took refuge in the Tang Dynasty; The second is that the intelligence said that Kuro cooperated with the Tang Dynasty, and the old and young women and children of the Qarlu clan entered the Tang Dynasty from Minzhou, and Kuro, who put aside his burden, also marched in the direction of Namu Lake, clearly cooperating with Zheng Peng to attack the Heaven Sacrifice Festival; The best bad news is that the Gong clan and the Bangbi clan have openly submitted to the Tang Dynasty, and many tribes that are close to the Tang Dynasty or have ties to the Tang Dynasty have also shown signs of rebellion recently.

Fears arose one by one, and the situation slowly deteriorated, but the more chaotic the situation became, the calmer he became, and he worked with Sino Rakon to calm the emotions of his allies while shifting the strategic focus from the city of Raksa to Lake Namu.

The festival is a trap carefully created for Zheng Peng by Ku Dating and Sinoluo Gonglu, and Ku Dating bet that Zheng Peng will not sit idly by, Namu Lake is the decisive battle place of Tubo, and the person who can get out of Namu Lake is the one who has the last laugh.

Either Tubo will turn over and continue to compete with the Tang Dynasty for the hegemony of the Western Regions; Either Tubo was annexed by the Tang Dynasty and changed its banner.

The root cause of the Tibetan turmoil is Zheng Peng, as long as Zheng Peng is taken, the chaos will be just around the corner.

The festival was held on March 23, the purpose of this festival is to pray for the blessing of the gods to Tubo, punish the Tang devils, in order to hold this festival, Ku Dating ordered the Tang people in the Tubo realm, including prisoners of war, slaves and fine work, all executed, with the blood of the Tang people, and also invited the holy monk Gong Bigang of Latse Temple to preside over the festival.

As the days approached day by day, Namu Lake became more and more lively, first the Tang people from all over the country were escorted to Namu Lake, and then the people from all walks of life who guarded the worship of the heavens, many Tubo people who heard the news also came to Namu Lake in groups to see the liveliness, on March 21, when the holy monk Gong Bigang Master arrived at Namu Lake, there was a phenomenon of 10,000 people worshipping, whether it was a soldier or a common person, one by one knelt down on the ground, to show respect to this respected holy monk.

When the Venerable Venerable Kunbigang arrived at Namu Lake, more and more people gathered to watch the puja, and there were more than 100,000 ordinary people alone.

100,000 people does not seem to be much, the population of Chang'an City is millions at the most, but I think that the population of Tubo is not much, and the nomads live very scattered.

The day after tomorrow is the festival of worshipping the heavens, the beautiful Namu Lake is full of tents, and at night, piles of bonfires are lit around the lake, which look like stars in the sky from a distance, and people do not sing and dance, but just sit quietly on the ground and listen to Master Gongbigang lecture on the Buddhist scriptures.

The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, sitting by the lake can feel the breeze gusting, Master Gongbigang is a highly respected, proficient in Buddhism, when talking about the Buddhist scriptures, he is in simple terms, he likes to use the story of the Buddhist scriptures and the reality of the combination, giving people a feeling of pasty empowerment, listening to the Master Gongbigang talking about the Buddhist scriptures, everyone feels that their hearts have been washed, there is a very calm, very reassuring feeling, as if the troubles have become without a trace.

However, no matter how beautiful and profound the story told by Master Gongbigan, it could not move the two people sitting by a big rock by the lake: Kun Dating and Sinoluo Gonglu.

"Daxiang, where are you okay?" Ku Dating suddenly asked.

"It's not good" Xi Nuoluo Gonglu said with a wry smile: "Tang Jun is out of nowhere, and I don't know which tactics of lack of morality and ghosts, like a mad dog, suddenly burst out, bite and run, either can't catch up, or dare not chase, every day is scared, a little relaxed, it bites not your flesh, but bites your throat, the warriors are tortured to the point of madness, general, how is the situation on your side?" ”

When he thinks of the days that have passed, he has a feeling of escaping death.

Zheng Peng led most of the city out of Luo, I thought I could follow him slowly, follow him, bite off his flesh, after all, this is Tubo, the Tang army is alone, I didn't expect the Tang army out of some cities in Luo, not unadaptable, but there is a feeling of a dragon into the sea, act fast, ruthless, the dragon sees the head and the tail, you must know that Tubo is sparsely populated, and the north of the city is the most desolate area, a lot of land is deserted, sometimes you can't find a person on horseback for two days, there are many soldiers in Tibet, but there is no way to take Zheng Peng.

The place is too big, and the small troops move quickly, but it is easy for the Tang army to eat it in one bite; The large army acted clumsy and could not catch up with the Tang army at all; Sent scouts to inquire about the news, but I didn't expect Datang to have a strong anti-reconnaissance ability, and he was also good at assassination, most of the scouts sent out couldn't come back, and when they got to the back, some scouts even ran away to avoid reconnaissance.

Xinuo Luo Gonglu encircled and suppressed Ge Lulu in front, and felt that there were many elite soldiers in the Ge Luo tribe, which was difficult to deal with, but when he faced the Tang army, he felt that the people of Ge Lulu were very "friendly".

Ku Dating said a little helplessly: "It's about the same as Daxiang, while being provoked and teased by Tang Jun, I have to appease those guys like adults appeasing unweaned children." ”

After a pause, Ku Dating said bitterly: "According to the information I know, in addition to the terrible fire bombs, the Tang Army also has a novelty called clairvoyance, after it is used, it is like a mythical clairvoyant, you can see a place far farther than the naked eye, they can repeatedly escape from the encirclement, and they can always accurately find the weak squint of our defense, relying on clairvoyance, it is really demonic." ”

"One gunpowder is not enough, what clairvoyance do you get, can this battle still be fought?" Sinoluo said with some discouragement.

"Of course you can," said with a confident face, "Prime Minister, have you forgotten our plan?" Don't worry, you will be able to do it, and the sky will not kill me. ”

Xinuo Luo Gonglu frowned and said: "Tang Jun seems to have lost a trace in the past two days, will he run away, if Zheng Peng doesn't come to save those people, then what should I do?" ”

If people don't come, the well-thought-out plan becomes no surprise.

"Don't worry, I'm familiar with Zheng Peng," Ku Dating said confidently: "He will definitely come." ”

"What if he really doesn't save it? The day after tomorrow, he will kill people and sacrifice to the sky, but now there is no sign of action, could it be that this place is too heavily guarded, and he sees that he feels that the odds of winning are not high, so he gives up? ”

Ku Dating looked at the towering altar by Namu Lake, and said word by word: "If he doesn't come, he won't be called Zheng Peng." ”
