Not long after Yuwen Guo and Zheyu arrived at Luoshe City, Tuyan's cavalry arrived at Luoshe City. When Tuyan stood in front of Luoshe City, he was very moved. He never thought that he would still be able to come to Luoshe City in his lifetime. Even the powerful Tuyuhun did it back then, he did not dare to expect the army to reach Luoshe City when facing Tubo. However, the Tang Dynasty did it, not only did it, but they also had to continue to do so, driving their army to the capitals of the Western Regions. "　　()

Tuyan felt that the city of Luoshe was not in sight, so Su Dingfang's army arrived at Luoshe.

Su Dingfang stood in front of the gate of Luoshe City and looked at this large and domineering city with a calm face. He was not excited, not happy, or feeling. Because he knew very well that the Tang Dynasty captured the Tsulan City of Tuyuhun yesterday, and the Lushui City of Tubo today. These were not enough. As long as the Northern King Li Ke is still there, the iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty will capture the capitals of countless kings.

However, while Su Dingfang was pondering, Cheng Mingzhen brought a piece of news that made him angry.

"General, I heard that the Tubo king Songtsen Gampo had already escaped from the city of Lussen!" Cheng Mingzhen said with a pale face.

"Is that true?" Su Dingfang asked lightly.

"It's just a rumor, but judging from the guards of the city, it's probably true!" Cheng Mingzhen replied.

"No matter whether the rumors are true or false, I must conquer some cities before it will be dark tonight!" Su Dingfang issued a military order coldly.

Cheng Mingzhen was shocked. This was the first time he saw Su Dingfang give such a firm order, which meant that he was angry. Even though he was calm when he heard such news just now, it can be seen from this order that he was really angry.

"No" Cheng Mingzhen led the order.

Su Dingfang issued an order and the Tang army began to prepare for the siege.

This time, Su Dingfang was very prepared. In addition to the elite cavalry, he also brought 20,000 siege infantry, and gave way to the infantry to ride horses and go with the cavalry.

Therefore, Su Ding's order was issued, and Cheng Mingzhen prevented 20,000 infantry from starting to attack the city.

When rumors began to spread that the Tubo king Songtsen Gampo had fled, the people and the defenders couldn't believe it, they were all skeptical. However, when they saw the Tang army outside the city preparing to attack the city and they saw that the royal court had not been moved, they believed it. The defenders and the people began to wake up. They realized their situation and they were really abandoned by their king.

what to do?

This question lingers in the minds of the people and defenders of Luoshecheng.

At this time, the defenders of Luoshe City saw countless arrow feathers shooting out of the city.

There are no arrows in the long arrow, and paper-like things are tied to the arrows.

The Tubo defenders who were guarding the city picked up arrows and opened the letters tied to them. They saw the Tang army's letter of persuasion to surrender, and the East Tubo king's letter of persuasion to surrender.

“———”

The soldiers guarding the city were silent, the generals guarding the city also began to remain silent, and the people in the city were silent.

After a while, someone shouted, "The king abandoned us, we opened the city and surrendered to the Tang army, and we went to surrender to the King of Eastern Tubo!"

"Yes - we have been abandoned, we cannot be buried with the king, we also need family, children, and wives, and we still have to live." Someone began to echo.

With the loud shouts of these two people, the silent defenders and the people exhaled the anger that had accumulated in their hearts, yelling to open the city and let the Tang army enter the city.

However, some people also asked whether the Tang army would be massacred by the Tang army when they let the Tang army enter the city.

This issue involves one's own wealth and life, and no one dares to make a guarantee.

Therefore, after urgent discussion, everyone agreed to send the city guards out of the city to negotiate with the Tang army.

The defenders in the city agreed to the suggestion without hesitation, and he ordered the soldiers to send a letter of peace talks to the Tang army.

Cheng Mingzhen was preparing to command the army to attack the city in front of the formation, and saw a soldier hurriedly coming to him.

"General, this is a peace letter shot from the city of Luoshe!"

"Well——" Cheng Mingzhen responded, opened the letter, and read it in a glance. "You said that I will agree to their request, and they can send someone to negotiate with General Su!"

"promise--"

Shortly after the soldiers left, a general dressed as a 1000-strong Tubo man walked out of Luoshecheng.

The general strode to Cheng Mingzhen and said with neither humility nor arrogant words, "Loser City Guard, the 10th Man Commander Basang has seen the general."

"Come with me, I'll wait for you to see General Su!" Cheng Mingzhen said lightly.

Cheng Zhenming led Basang to Su Dingfang's central army tent. Seeing Su Dingfang focusing on the Tubo map, and seeing Cheng Mingzhen and Basang walking in, Su Dingfang looked up and asked, "Has the city been broken?"

"General, these are the guardians of the city of Basang. He said he wanted to negotiate with you, saying that as long as you agree to his conditions, he could open the city and surrender!" Cheng Zhenming expressed his purpose with the simplest words.

"You are the guardians of Luosie City?" Su Dingfang carefully asked Basang, then, "Is there anyone else in Luosie City?"

"Return to the general, the ministers and officials in the city of Luoshe, the king Songtsen Gampo, the royal family members, and 20,000 elite cavalry have all left since last night. Now there are only the people and ten thousand old guard soldiers left in Luoshe. "Basan said honestly.

"Oh, then what are your conditions?" Su Dingfang asked calmly.

"Dissare death—" Basan said firmly, "Give us freedom—"

"I can promise you now!" After Su Dingfang finished speaking, he strode to the table of the big tent and began to write on the rice paper the words "Parse the people of Luoshe City and the defenders and the signature is Su Dingfang," stamped his own general's seal and handed it to Basang.

Although Basang couldn't understand Chinese characters, when he saw Su Dingfang's bright red general seal on it, he knew that Su Dingfang was right and immediately told Su Dingfang that he had returned to the city and ordered the defenders to open the city gate.

Basang left, and Su Dingfang fell into deep thought.

In this way, the Tang army solved the defenders of Luoshecheng without any bloodshed and easily captured Luoshecheng.

When the Tang army entered Luoshe City and Su Dingfang led 20,000 elite cavalry to the royal court, the guards of the royal court surrendered to Su Dingfang without any resistance. When Su Dingfang walked into the royal court, that is, when Songtsen Gampo had devoted all his national strength, he found that everything inside was still the same, and that its owner Songtsen Gampo and royal members were missing.

"Where is the person?" Su Dingfang asked a palace guard lightly.

Although he had long known that the building was empty, he still asked in a luxurious manner.

"I don't know--" the palace guard replied.

"Puchi--" Su Dingfang pulled out his sword and slashed the guard, and continued to ask the servant who served Songtsen Gampo in the palace, "Where are them?"

"Ah-Sir-I don't know!" the servant exclaimed, and he replied tremblingly.

"You--" Su Dingfang was furious, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Kill everyone in the royal court!"

"Nuo" Cheng Mingzhen received the order without expression.

The Northwest Army of the Tang Dynasty did so many such things when they fought against Tuyuhun and Tubo in the west. When Cheng Mingzhen took the order, he felt no burden at all, but instead seemed very relaxed.

"Appoint Zheyu, Xue Li, and Yuwen Guo to lead the elite cavalry to set off immediately and chase Songtsen Gampo. He must be blocked in the middle of the road and cannot be allowed to enter the southwest of Tubo!" Su Dingfang continued to order.

Today he has checked the geographical environment and climate in the southwest of Tubo. As long as Songtsen Gampo enters the southwest, the Tang Dynasty may not be as simple and easy as it is now.

"No" Li Xian received the order seriously.

"Cheng Zhenming, Li Xianzhong, you two are responsible for the public security and defense of the city!" Su Dingfang issued another order to the two.

"No" Cheng Mingzhen and Li Xianzhong received the order.

Cheng Mingzhen and Li Xianzhong received Su Dingfang's order. When they saw Su Dingfang's face was very gloomy, they did not dare to disturb him and silently withdrew from the royal court.

Watching Cheng Mingzhen and Su Dingfang leave, Su Dingfang slowly walked to the hall of the royal court. He didn't speak for a long time, and the guards around him didn't know what he was thinking.
