Li Ji's words made everyone shut up for the time being. After all, everyone had great trust in this famous Tang Dynasty general who was experienced in many battles and cunning.

Since he has made such a judgment and is the commander-in-chief of this army, naturally no one will object.

At this moment, dozens of people on fast horses came from Nancheng, and surrounded by them was Tubo Zampu's confidant, the deputy imperial minister Sangji.

In a short time, Sanji was brought to Li Ji and gave a long and respectful salute to Li Ji.

Li Ji stroked his long beard and reminded the Tibetan envoy with a gloomy expression. He still remembered that it was this person who sent the letter last time.

"I wonder why Sanji Yuqian came here?"

"I have met the British Duke of the Tang Dynasty. I am here to inquire about the Li Bingbu on the order of my country's leader."

"I, the Tubo, admire the Tang Dynasty very much and regard the Tang Dynasty as the supreme state. However, Tuyuhun has repeatedly attacked me, Tubo, and ruined the livelihood of our people."

"The leader of our country was so angry that he raised troops to punish Tuyuhun. Now, the time is coming."

"I also ask the British Duke to lead the army to withdraw from this city for the sake of the friendship between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty. If the British Duke agrees.

My lord can make an alliance with the British Duke by killing horses under the Naluyi City and swear to heaven that he will only punish the chief evildoers of Tuyuhun and never destroy his country."

Li Ji looked at the deputy minister of the Tibetan imperial family who was standing in front of him, spitting and chatting, without any emotion on his face.

This made Sanji feel a little frustrated. He came here on Zamp's order, just hoping to have one last chance.

Maybe we can swindle these Tang people away, but if they do, those Tuyuhun soldiers and horses who have no fighting spirit will be killed.

In front of the entire Tubo army, they were just like chickens and dogs.

After capturing Naluyi City and returning to Shiluo City, it is not considered a failure.

Moreover, it is equivalent to bringing all the dangerous lands in the northern part of Tuyuhun into the hands of Tibet.

It would not be too easy to go back and wait until the dangers in the country are cleared before dealing with Tuyuhun.

After Sanji finished chirping, Li Ji stroked his long beard and pondered for a long time.

"I have been ordered by my emperor to uphold justice for Tuyuhun and your country. However, your country has used its own force and raised troops to attack us. It treats the Tang Dynasty as if it is nothing."

"I even issued an ultimatum to my officer. Could it be that Erbang really thinks that I, the Tang Dynasty, can be bullied?"

Seeing that the Minister of War of the Tang Dynasty was actually talking nonsense with him, Sanji couldn't help but feel a little sick.

Is this what I want to talk to you about?

Finally, after the wily and scheming Minister of War of the Tang Dynasty finished hanging his book bag, Sanji quickly interrupted.

"It seems that the British Lord still does not understand our Lord's goodwill towards the Tang Dynasty."

"If the leader of your country has good intentions, he should retreat in time." Liu Langjiang couldn't help but shout.

"This is the grudge between Tubo and Tuyuhun. Since the British Lord insists on this, I can only report the truth to my lord."

"Go slowly, I won't send you off." Li Ji narrowed his eyes and watched the Tibetan envoy leave the house with some hesitation.

He couldn't help but let out a sigh of suspicion. What kind of evil idea did this leader of the Tubo Kingdom have?

#####

After the thoughts disturbed by the Tubo envoys gradually returned to calm, Li Ji glanced at the generals in the room.

"His Sanchi's remarks made me feel more and more that there might be some unrest in southern Tibet."

Everyone immediately thought of the letter from Cheng Sanlang who had boasted all over the place, and everyone's face darkened.

"That kid, why can't you say something honest? It's all nonsense. How can we understand the real situation in the south..."

"That is, His Highness the King of Wu finally sent a handwritten letter. At least His Highness the King of Wu's words are definitely more reliable than that of Cheng Sanlang."

"Haha... Don't you know that His Highness King Wu, Fang Erlang and Cheng Laosan wear the same pair of pants?"

"..." Li Ji listened to these vulgar warriors chattering indiscriminately, and patted the table with some displeasure.

"That's enough. Follow my previous arrangements and arrange them as soon as possible. I will personally go to Nancheng to take charge."

Following the orders issued by Li Ji, the generals began to perform their respective duties, and Li Ji then rushed to the south of the city again.

Brigadier Deng continued to faithfully perform his duties, even though the sky had completely darkened.

Fortunately, there were bright stars in the sky and piles of bonfires in the Tubo camp.

Brigadier Deng could at least vaguely see the figure beside the bonfire.

Time passed bit by bit, and until the moonlight rose, Brigadier Deng did not see any movement from the Tibetan soldiers and horses.

After rubbing his dazzled eyes, he called over a sharp-eyed subordinate and asked him to continue staring, while he closed his eyes to rest.

I don't know how much time passed, but Brigadier Deng felt that he had dozed off in a daze. At this time, he suddenly felt a slap on his armor.

"Commander of the Brigade, Commander of the Brigade, come and see, there is something going on in the Tubo camp."

Hearing this, Brigadier Deng stood up, rubbed his sore eyes, took the telescope and put it in front of his eyes.

Soon, I saw firelight from the Tubo camp, winding towards the south, pointing straight to the south.

There is also a faint band of fire heading towards the southwest, and the speed of this band of light is much slower.

Seeing this, Brigadier Deng raised his head and looked at the sky. At this moment, the moonlight was gradually sinking, and the sound of the midnight watch was echoing in Naluyi City.

At this moment, I happened to see Li Ji walking quickly towards this side under the firelight not far away.

"Commander, the Tibetans are leaving in two groups."

Li Ji suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the Tubo camp. He saw the camp facing the city wall, which still looked very peaceful.

When we arrived at the tower, even without looking through a telescope, we could still see the bright stars stretching into the distance.

"General Zheng Lang." Li Ji's voice came down from under the tower.

"The end will be here."

"Immediately order the scouts and horses to leave the city quietly from the north gate, and bring me the Tibetan soldiers and horses who left the city.

Let’s see if they really want to leave tonight, or if they want to find a place to ambush.”

"Be careful, don't let the Tibetans know that we are detecting their movements."

General Zheng Lang obeyed the order sternly and left quickly.

Deputy Capital Marshal Dingai stared blankly at the Capital Marshal Namkha Norbu commanding the 20,000 cavalry, each holding a torch for every ten cavalry.

Just like this, they walked quietly towards the outside of the camp, where the Prime Minister Qiongbo Bangse commanded 20,000 infantry.

Then there was one torch for every fifty people, heading southwest.
