? Lu Dongzan stopped thinking for a long time, and suddenly frowned and looked surprised.

"Great Prime Minister, what's wrong with you? Could it be——" Sang Dong asked when he saw Lu Dongzan's expression was very nervous. However, before he finished speaking, Lu Dongzan hurriedly said, "General Sang Dong, come with me, see. Maybe we were caught by the Tang army's delay plan. Murong Shun's army is in danger!" After saying that, he urged the horse to rush to the front army. Sang Dong was shocked when he heard Lu Dongzan say this, and urged the horse to follow Lu Dongzan closely.

It turned out that after careful consideration, Lu Dongzan discovered the key point. That is why Murong Shun's 50,000 army had no idea about the Tang army, but he encountered the Tang army here with 150,000 troops? Moreover, the Tang army did not set up an ambush in the canyon this time, but instead placed cavalry in the canyon passage to be relatively strong.

Yi Lu Dongzan's analysis, Li Ke wanted to set up an ambush in Phoenix Leng and wanted to annihilate his army, but his ambush would not be so obvious.

With Li Ke's current troops, it is difficult to wipe out his 150,000 army. Therefore, the only point is that Li Ke found out that Murong Shun's army had already left the central army. He wanted to wipe out Murong Shun's 50,000 army so that he would put a cavalry here to stop his army and rescue Murong Shun.

Murong Shun came to the front of the formation and he hesitated when he found that the black-armored cavalry was blocking his army. He did not decisively give the order to enter the palace, but watched the battle horses and saw that he guessed whether it was correct. Because the black-clad cavalry in Chang'an City gave him so much shock that he could still remember the scene on the school grounds of Chang'an Royal Forest Garden when facing the black-clad cavalry. Therefore, before he completely understood Li Ke's true intention, he did not dare to advance and issue an order to attack in this canyon.

Sang Dong urged his horse to catch up with Lu Dongzan. When he came to him, he was shocked when he saw the elite iron cavalry opposite him. At first, the five hundred elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty sneered at his victory when he was one thousand Tubo elite cavalry, believing that this was a exaggeration of Lu Dongzan. Now, when he really witnessed the black armored elite cavalry in front of him, he really believed what Lu Dongzan said to him.

"Da Xiang, what should we do now?" Sang Dong asked Lu Dongzan. He seemed to have noticed the unexpected place of the cavalry in front of him, that is, there seemed to be the neighing sound of war horses on the high ground on both sides of the canyon. He felt that the Tang army might set up ambush in both places of the canyon, so he asked Lu Dongzan for countermeasures.

"General Sangdong, do you Tang army want to set up an ambush in the canyon?" Lu Dongzan asked Sangdong.

"It's very likely! Otherwise, Li Ke wouldn't be crazy! Dare to use less than 20,000 cavalry to block the road of my 150,000 army?" Lu Dongzan also asked in confusion.

"But the Tang army wants to set up an ambush in the two places of the canyon, don't they know how to lure the enemy into the deeper? Why did they set up these less than 20,000 elite cavalry at the entrance of the valley? If we don't launch an attack and he goes to fight with his 20,000 cavalry, wouldn't their ambush be returned in vain?" Lu Dongzan asked back.

"The great prime minister means that the Tang army may have set up a suspicious formation, with the purpose of delaying the time of our army and annihilated 50,000 elite cavalry in Murongshun?" Sang Dong asked.

"It's very possible!" Lu Dongzan said.

"What should we do if Da Xiang thinks we should do?" Sang Dong said loudly, "As long as Da Xiang gives an order, I, Sang Dong, will be the first to rush up and kill these 20,000 Tang army elite cavalry!"

"No need for General Sang Dong to take action, we will send 30,000 cavalry to test it first. If the Tang army loses, they will definitely want to retreat. At that time, we will send another 20,000 elite cavalry and slowly send troops bit by bit. In this way, even if the Tang army sets up an ambush, our losses will not be too great!" Lu Dongzan said.

"Please give orders!" Sang Dong said to Lu Dongzan.

Lu Dongzan was sure that he had made up his mind and wanted to issue an order.

When a war horse slowly walked out of the Tang army in front of the formation, Lu Dongzan's eyes were very bright, and he could see who the person coming on the war horse was. When he saw the white war horse, Li Ke was wearing a black-clad king robe, holding a long spear, sitting upright on the back of the horse, smiling faintly at him.

Lu Dongzan did not expect Li Ke to come forward in person, and he stopped the idea of ​​giving orders. He knew very well that Li Ke appeared in front of him, and the number of Tang soldiers was definitely not the 20,000 in front of him, and there must be other ambushers. Because, in Lu Dongzan's thinking, Li Ke's prince of the Tang Dynasty and his marching commander of the Tang Dynasty would not take risks! And today he appeared in front of himself, and was still so calm in the face of the 150,000 army, so he must have ambushed the ambush on both sides.

At this moment, I suddenly heard Li Ke’s question, “Is Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan ahead?”

Lu Dongzan didn't want to be rude and urged him to go forward a few steps, "Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan has met His Highness the Northern King!"

"Great Prime Minister, you left Chang'an in a hurry, so that I didn't have time to send you off. I miss you very much during this period!" Li Ke said with a smile.

"Thank you for your concern. Lu Dongzan was in the Tang Dynasty and was afraid and dared not live for a long time. He could only return to Tubo!" Lu Dongzan replied.

"So, will the great prime minister send troops to attack the Tang Dynasty?" Li Ke asked in an unhappy tone.

"Your Highness is such a bad thing! The Tang Dynasty sent troops to attack Tuyuhun and wanted to destroy Tuyuhun. But as the Tuyuhun ruled country, Tubo naturally cannot be saved by death!" Lu Dongzan also faced tit-for-tat.

"Hahahahahahahahahaha" Li Ke burst out laughing, "The big picture really has a good look of eloquence! But why are you pretending to be stupid in Chang'an City?"

"If I don't pretend to be stupid, how could I settle down and return to Tubo?" Lu Dongzan did not retreat at all.

The two kept arguing in front of the formation. Li Ke wanted to delay time, and Lu Dongzan wanted to understand Li Ke's true intentions through Li Ke's conversation. The two had their own ulterior motives, but they talked and greeted each other in front of the formation for half an hour.

Sang Dong couldn't stand it anymore. He felt that Li Ke was just delaying time, but he didn't know why Lu Dongzan also had to accompany Li Ke to waste time on the attack.

So, he interrupted the conversation between Lu Dongzan and Li Ke and shouted loudly, "I heard that His Highness, the Northern King, is all-round and talented in civil and military affairs, and the Tubo General Sang Dong is not talented. I am willing to learn about His Highness's martial arts. Can Your Highness respond to the battle?"

Sang Dong said very politely, but his tone was very aggressive.

"Hahahahahahahahaha" Li Ke laughed, "Are you Sang Dong?"

"I am Sang Dong, why is Your Highness laughing?" Sang Dong asked.

"You are Sang Dong, the Tubo general who annihilated my 120,000 elite Tang Dynasty?" Li Ke asked again, with a serious expression and a stern tone.

"Maybe, the 120,000 troops of the Tang army were all annihilated by my Tubo army!" Sang Dong laughed wildly, "To be honest, your Tang army's combat power is just that!"

"Okay! God's will! God's will!" Li Ke smiled and said, "Since God lets me meet you here, let me kill you and avenge my 120,000 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty!"

"That depends on your highness's ability!" Sang Dong also said domineeringly.

"Your Highness, let the last general take the challenge!" Wang Zhongchang saw that Li Ke agreed to the proposal with Sang Dong, but did he greet him, so he stepped forward and said.

"You retreat! Lu Dongzan is now exploring the truth and truth of the truth. When I go to fight, he will focus on me, so that he can delay his thinking time!" Li Ke said lightly.

Wang Zhongchang knew Li Ke's strength, and Li Ke's force was comparable to Chen Qi. After hearing what Li Ke said, he was not forcing the fight. He saw Li Ke urged him to step forward and stood in front of the two armies, holding a spear in one hand, pointing straight at Sang Dong, as if the gods descended to earth, full of domineeringness. His move caused the Eagle Guard to shout that the Northern King was mighty, and the sound of war drums also came from the canyon.

Sang Dong was also urging the horse to fight, holding a large scimitar, urging the horse to slowly walk towards Li Ke.

When Lu Dongzan heard the drums on both sides of the canyon, he was shocked and thought to himself that there were indeed ambushing troops on both sides of the canyon!

Li Ke and Sang Dong rode against each other and looked at each other silently.

Li Ke saw that Sang Dong's scimitar was very strange. It was not the scimitar used by ordinary nomads, but the long-handled scimitar. The entire knife was about two meters long, with a wide blade on the back, and an estimated weight of about forty kilograms. Through Sang Dong's scimitar, Li Ke had already understood Sang Dong's attack characteristics, that is, Sang Dong was also a powerful general.

"Kill--" Sang Dong yelled and urged the horse to kill Li Ke.

"Kill--" Li Ke also let out a soft cry, and the four white horses under his crotch flew into the air and met Sang Dong.

Three "Dang Dang Dang" sounded throughout the canyon, and the two horses were in conflict. Li Ke and Sang Dong had already fought for three rounds.

Both of them made a tentative attack on each other.

Li Ke had roughly tested Sang Dong's strength, and Sang Dong's arm strength was slightly smaller than Chen Qi.

Sang Dong also knew Li Ke's strength and felt that Li Ke's strength was at least above him. Therefore, a heavy look appeared on his face and his eyes were staring at Li Ke coldly.

Suddenly, Sang Dong urged the horse to kill Li Ke again. Li Ke also urged the horse to meet Sang Dong, and the two fought together.

The two fought for dozens of rounds, no winner.

Sang Dong's scimitar was like lightning, attacking Li Ke's various parts. Li Ke's long spear trajectory was very strange. It often dissolved the force on his sword and dissolved his fierce moves when it was caused by Sang Dong's scimitar.

So, the two fought for dozens of rounds, Li Ke was still calm, while Sang Dong was panting.

When Li Ke saw that Sang Dong became more and more anxious, he revealed a flaw. Sang Dong had already lost his calmness. Seeing that Li Ke showed his flaws, he slashed his sword horizontally and slashed Li Ke's waist. Li Ke urged his horse to rush towards Sang Dong, lying flat on the horse's back when the scimitar was caused by the scimitar, avoiding Sang Dong's attack. At this time, his long spear stabbed into Sang Dong's throat strangely and trickyly.

"Pu" Li Ke raised his body with one hand, and the horse spear lifted Sang Dong's body and threw it heavily to the ground.

A strong shouts of killing erupted in the Tang army.

The morale of the Tubo army was instantly declining, and the soldiers did not dare to look at Li Ke on the battlefield.

"Your Highness the Northern King is indeed very skilled in martial arts. When I see you today, Lu Dongzan is admired!" Lu Dongzan said to Li Ke, "Since the victory and the defeat have been decided, then we will return to the camp and fight again another day. What do you think?"

"Hahaha" Li Ke laughed, "I should accompany you!"

Seeing Li Ke's agreement, Lu Dongzan ordered the army to retreat slowly.

The Tubo general was beheaded by Li Ke in front of the formation, and his morale was already very low. Lu Dongzan was afraid of ambushing troops in the canyon, so he ordered the army to slowly retreat from Fenghuang Ridge. After leaving Fenghuang Ridge, he ignored Murong Shun's 50,000 troops and ordered the army to retreat to Fenghuang Mountain to set up camp.

Li Ke did not take the opportunity to pursue Lu Dongzan when he retreated. He knew very well that even if Tubo's morale was low, the battle was still there. If he pursued him rashly, it would reveal the lack of troops. If Lu Dongzan seized the opportunity to fight back, it would be more than worth the loss. He could only watch Lu Dongzan's army withdraw from Fenghuang Ridge.
