The small room was crowded with more than a dozen people, all of whom were high-ranking people in the Tubo Kingdom.
The death of Zampu Sisunde made everyone feel cold in their hearts.
The incident in the originally ordinary room seemed to exude a strange atmosphere.
The coldness made everyone shiver, and the more than 10,000 soldiers inside and outside the station were demoralized and had no fighting spirit.
Dazalukong did not expect that such a thing would happen.
He did not expect that the originally good situation would become so passive and unfavorable.
Now it was no longer a short-term military defeat, but because of Sisunde's death, he and all the Tubo people present Ministers and generals may face total political collapse.
After a long silence, Dazalugong finally spoke with a gloomy face: "There is another piece of bad news.
It was delivered at noon today.
The Tang army has two more armies.
One of them has reached Michuan, and the other has reached the southwest of Taoyang County. , although they were attacked one after another due to plateau terrain warfare due to their excessive attack speed.
They suffered heavy losses in strength, but as long as they are given some time to adapt, when these two groups of people recover, they will definitely continue to move towards the Western Jin Army.
If they recapture Shibao City, capture Dafeichuan and Fuqi City to the west of the West Sea, then It will cut off our way home.
Tell us what we should do now."
These words were like pouring a ladle of cold water into a pot of boiling oil.
The whole room suddenly exploded.
The timid ones shouted that it was over.
Even the generals who had experienced battles had worried faces.
Many of them looked worried.
The person held the tea cup and kept drinking tea to hide his worry and irritability.
A minister stood up and saluted and said: "Marshal, we have only two choices now.
Either we can escort Zampu's coffin back to Luoluo, or we can use Zampu's death to avenge Zampu and inspire the soldiers to attack Xiping City in one fell swoop and defeat him."
The main force of the Tang army is heading straight into Jincheng.
As long as Jincheng is captured, the army can march towards Chang'an, the capital of the Tang state.
The remaining two armies will definitely come back to support, and then there will be no danger of our retreat being cut off."
Another minister said: "Marshal, you must not lead your troops back to Luocheng at this time.
Zamp was shot dead by the Tang army in the Marshal's army.
In any case, the Marshal is suspected of failing to protect Zamp, although we know that We can't blame the marshal for this, but the people in Luozhe will definitely not think so.
The marshal's enemies will definitely put a shit basin on the marshal's head.
I'm afraid they will set up another Zanpu before we can return to Luozhe.
When the time comes, New Zamp will definitely accuse the Marshal."
Another person said: "Could it be that we have been hiding the news of Zamp's death?
It won't last long anyway.
If Zamp's order is not sent back to the logic department after a while, those people will definitely become suspicious, and who will Apart from ensuring that there are no moles planted by those people in the army, will we ever Aren't you going to go back to Luozu?
I think we must return to Luozuo, but not now.
We must at least defeat Zhao Ziliang, wipe out his army, use the heads of the Tang army to commemorate Zanpu, and make the Tang Dynasty sue for peace.
In this way Only then can the marshal return to Luozu with great victory, but only those in Luozuo dare not deal with the marshal at will."
After hearing this, the other Tubo generals all agreed, "Yes, Marshal, we must not go back now.
We must kill Tang Army General Zhao Ziliang and defeat the Tang Army's 200,000 troops.
Only by avenging Zampu, we Only then can he lead his army back to Luozu, otherwise the marshal will definitely be killed by those people in Luozuo."
"It will indeed be a big trouble to lead the army back now, which will be extremely disadvantageous to the marshal, but if we choose the second option, if we cannot defeat the Tang army and kill Zhao Ziliang in a short time, then our retreat will be cut off.
Crisis, once our retreat is cut off, the dozen or so of us will be surrounded and annihilated by the Tang army.
Marshal, please think twice."
Dazha Lugong listened to everyone's suggestions and thought about it for a long time before making up his mind and said: "Tomorrow, we will summon people from all walks of life, Qianhu and above, to discuss how to attack Xiping and annihilate the Tang army within fifteen days.
If we If Xiping City cannot be conquered and Zhao Ziliang cannot be killed within fifteen days, then we will withdraw our troops and escort Zampu's coffin back to Luoche.

If we can conquer Xiping within this time limit, then we will send our army east to attack Jincheng and force the other two Tang armies to return. aid" After hearing this, everyone stood up and saluted: "Yes, Marshal" Xiping.
Zhao Ziliang walked out of the prefect's mansion wearing armor and a sword.
He looked up at the sky.
The weather was good today.
Yesterday, he took advantage of the Tubo army's unsteady footing and carelessness to catch the Tubo army by surprise and killed 26,000 Tibetan soldiers.
More than a thousand people were captured, and more than 6,000 people were captured.
Countless grain, grass, ordnance, cattle, sheep, and horses were seized.
This gave Zhao Ziliang a lot more confidence in defending Xiping City.
Sufficient grain, grass, and defensive equipment and materials were much more important than sufficient troops. .
Zhao Ziliang and other officials came to the west city gate wall and inspected the top, bottom and inside of the city wall.
The soldiers were busy in the open space outside the city.
Several soldiers held bundles of ropes and walked westward from the moat, using ropes to measure the distance. , make a mark every 100 steps, pile a small pile of stones at the mark, and then pour white lime water on it to make it eye-catching until 1,200 steps, because this is what the trebuchet can throw furthest distance.
Cen Shen reported to Zhao Ziliang: "Commander, the first batch of city defense equipment and materials have been carried up the city wall, and all the seizures yesterday have been transported into the city.
We have made all the preparations we can, except for the six thousand captured yesterday.
Many Tibetan prisoners are still being held in military camps in the city."
After hearing the report, Zhao Ziliang said: "Yesterday the Tubo army was defeated and fled.
It will take time for them to clean up the remaining troops.
I am afraid they will not attack the city today.
While there is still time, I will pass on my message to Duan Xiushi.
Order that all Tibetan prisoners be taken outside the city and executed."
Cen Shen was stunned and immediately agreed: "Yes, Marshal."
As Zhao Ziliang's order was passed on, Duan Xiushi, the general of the Tang army who was responsible for guarding the prisoners in the military camp in the city, immediately ordered the soldiers to divide the Tibetan prisoners detained in the military camp into six groups, each with a thousand people, and escort them to the open space outside the west city gate.
As soldiers and horses were mobilized and prisoners were escorted out of the city one after another, the streets in the city were filled with crowds of onlookers.
The people were quite puzzled.
Since the prisoners had been imprisoned in the military camp in the city, why were they again To escort them outside the city As the Tibetan prisoners moved towards the west gate step by step, the onlookers also moved forward.
They wanted to see what the officers and soldiers were doing when they escorted these Tibetan prisoners.
Among the people watching, there were three burly, ragged, blond, blue-eyed Westerners.
One of the three Westerners was carrying a long bow on his back and a long sword hanging on his waist.
The one on the left was even bigger and taller, with a long sword hanging on his waist.
A two-handed broadsword, a man on the right holding a shield in one hand, and a short sword hanging from his waist.
Xiping City is not the main route of the Silk Road.
There are not many Hu merchants from the Western Regions.
The appearance of these three blond and blue-eyed Western barbarians attracted the attention of many people.
But now that the Tang army escorted so many prisoners out of the city, the people were temporarily Forgot about them.
The Westerner on the right asked: "Charlie, why did the Tang army escort so many Tibetan prisoners outside the city?"
Charlie in the middle said nothing, and he couldn't figure out why the Tang army escorted these prisoners outside the city.
Tony on the left said: "I think the Tang army wanted these Tibetan prisoners to clean the moat outside the city.
In this way, If the Tibetan army came to attack the city, it would take a day just to fill in such a wide and deep moat, and many people would die."
Jason on the right shook his head and said: "I don't think so."
Charlie in the middle said: "Shouldn't we find out if we follow over and take a look?"
Tony was surprised: "Come over and have a look.
I'm telling you, boss, the Tang Army has banned civilians from leaving the city.
How can we follow over and have a look if we can't get out?"
Charlie said: "Yesterday when we were mixing among the civilians to help clean the battlefield, I secretly hid three sets of Tang Army armors."
Jason smiled and said: "I wonder if you have even thought of our retreat.

If the Tang army cannot defend the barbarian attack, we will wear the Tang army's armor and escape in the chaos, right?"
"You're right, let's go," Charlie said, pushing through the crowd and walking to the side, with Tony and Jason following behind him.
The three of them soon arrived near the city wall.
Charlie took them to the weeds behind a house, took out a large baggage, and opened the baggage to reveal three sets of somewhat damaged Tang Army armors.
One of the three of them was the tallest.
Tony's clothes felt a little small, but Charlie and Jason's clothes fit perfectly.
After putting on their helmets, the three of them lowered their heads and walked towards a stone staircase next to the city wall.
There were soldiers from the Tang Army carrying supplies up and down the stone staircase.
In order not to arouse the attention of the Tang Army soldiers, the three of them also carried a load of supplies from under the city wall.
A rolling log climbed up the stone ladder and climbed up the city wall.
Fortunately, the soldiers of the Tang Army were busy and no one noticed that the three of them were fakes.
The three of them found a pile of logs and squatted down.
They could use the pile of logs to hide their figures.
They stretched their heads outside the wall and looked around.
They saw a group of more than a thousand prisoners being escorted to an open space outside the city.
These prisoners were all The armed Tang army was surrounded by soldiers with swords, shields and spears on three sides.
On one side was a large pit with a length of 100 meters and a width of 100 meters.
The pit was probably several feet deep.
Jason asked in surprise: "What are they doing?"
Charlie shook his head and said: "I don't know, just take a look and don't make any noise, don't get discovered."
The three of them looked at the situation outside the city.
They saw a Tang Army general wearing a red blood-red cloak, a red feathered owl helmet, and bright light armor riding a maroon Western Region tall horse to the outside and shouted: "First Group, come in" "Roar" The infantry phalanx of the Tang army facing the big pit roared collectively after hearing the order, and then each row of soldiers marched in neat steps toward the Tibetan prisoners surrounded in the middle.
The Tubo prisoners were horrified when they saw this, and they all retreated towards the pit.
Some prisoners wanted to escape to both sides, but the Tang army soldiers blocking both sides put their shields on the ground, and sharp spears shot from between the shields.
The gap between them stretched out.
Whenever a Tibetan prisoner wanted to attack from both sides, he would be immediately attacked with spears.
Some Tibetan soldiers who could not evade were stabbed and fell to the ground to death.
The advancing Tang army's infantry phalanx advanced less than a foot in front of the Tibetan prisoners and stopped.
The shield array stood neatly in a row.
With a loud roar, countless long spears between the shields were neatly placed in the middle of the officer's shouts.
Keep thrusting together, the outermost spit The Tibetan prisoners were stabbed one after another, and streams of blood spattered out.
The stabbed Tibetan prisoners screamed and fell to the ground.
Later, some Tibetan prisoners were terrified and kept moving backwards, approaching the edge of the pit.
A row of Tibetan prisoners were squeezed into the pit
