Everyone was ready to guard against an enemy attack. With this lesson, no one dared to slack off, cheering and patrolling the surrounding movement. With time passing by, it is not easy to pass the cold night and usher in the dawn.
"How many casualties?" Li Kuan said gravely.
Leng Feng replied: "Our army has no deaths, 645 wounded, 246 severely injured, and 42 disabled. The rest are all minor injuries and no serious problems."
Li Zhen replied: "The maid, the craftsman, and others also received different injuries, and it was not a major problem. As for the others, our horses died 180, broke 53 and were injured 321. "
Shi Rui added: "As for the princess's dowry, some vegetable leaves, tea seeds and other crops were lost, and no other property was lost."
Li Kuan took the list compiled by the three, and this matter had already begun when he could see the surrounding situation. It was not appropriate until the sun rose. Li Kuan gave the list to Li Daozong, who was also looking heavy. "Uncle Wang, this is the list of losses!"
Li Daozong took it silently, looked at Li Kuan who was wounded, and sighed: "I, Li Daozong, have fought in the North and South for more than a hundred battles since the founding of the Great Tang, but I have never been ashamed as yesterday. If it weren't for you. We have been prepared for a long time, and our army will suffer heavy losses this time. Alas!..."
"Who would have expected such a thing? Uncle Wang doesn't have to blame himself!"
Li Kuan comforted Li Daozong. Li Daozong commanded properly when he was in danger. He is indeed a great general who has experienced many battles. When he was trapped in the camp and unable to get out of the trap, he commanded several deployments loudly at most, and all subsequent deployments were Li Daozong. Command, if he hadn't acted decisively to protect Li Shi's camp, then the relationship between the two countries would be really troublesome.
Dozens of sheep rushed out of flames, and those soldiers who were wounded and maimed used their lives to protect Princess Datang behind them. In the dark night, it was impossible to judge where the enemy came from, and had to be surrounded in groups, which also resulted in injuries successively.
Although the members of the Tubo mission did not believe Li Kuan's concerns, it did not mean that Li Daozong would also doubt it. All the responsibilities of guarding would be left to Li Kuan. It is this trust that made the marrying guard group lose a little bit more, but there is no worry of life. At the moment Li Kuan reminded him loudly, he reacted instantly. This also caused the injured people to be basically shot by the stray arrows. They were caught flat-footed and failed to immediately counterattack. This also caused almost the entire army to suffer this time. Hurt.

In comparison, the Tubo mission with hundreds of people has really suffered heavy losses this time. The mission with hundreds of people now only has more than ten people left. They are still injured in varying degrees. Looking at the frozen companions in the lakes and rivers, The Tubo envoy Gardongzan had a heavy face, and Tunmisangbuza and Zhisai Rugongdun were even more ashamed. If they were not too confident, they did not trust Li Kuan and did not ask their mission personnel to defend themselves, and it would not cause it. Today's result.
The Tubo envoys lowered their heads in shame and looked at those dead companions without saying a word. Everyone's heart was extremely heavy. Tunmi Sambuza and Chisai Rugundon knelt directly on the ground, shed tears of regret. But the person is already dead, this is a fact and the three of them will bear the responsibility for their companions who were killed in the night attack.
Li Kuan walked over slowly, without ridicule, and not feeling well. This was the first time he experienced the cruelty of war. Fearing that the enemy would still be in ambush, in order to prevent everyone from being attacked again, he had to come and discuss the follow-up with Galdongzan. A genius remembers Chinese in one second 8/1/z/o/m/
"Master Tubo!"
Gal Dongzan turned around and saluted very respectfully. He knew that if it were not for the help of Li Kuan and the Datang delegation last night, he would have to die here, and the two deputy envoys would no longer underestimate Li Kuan, even Seeing his lack of courage, "His Royal Highness does not have to say, everything is done according to what you say, I will definitely cooperate with you!"
After seeing Li Kuan’s superiority, the Tubo envoys were sincerely convinced. Before Li Kuan could speak, he was sent back with a word. Li Kuan was taken aback for a while and immediately understood what Galdongzan meant, and then said: " It is not suitable to stay here for long, we must meet Zamp as soon as possible."
Suddenly, Tunmisangbuza raised his head, but he still said, "His Royal Highness, do you want to send someone to explore the way?"
Once bitten, twice shy!
This painful lesson made them both learn well, and actively proposed to send someone to explore the way first. Li Kuan shook his head and replied: "No need to explore the way, but it is necessary to contact Zampo on this matter!"
Gal Dongzan nodded in agreement, and quickly ordered the two of them to arrange for someone to go for an interrogation. This matter must be investigated clearly who did it. This place is in Tubo. Such a thing happened unexpectedly. If it reaches the ears of the Emperor of Tang, it will definitely affect the relationship between the two countries.
If this matter cannot be explained clearly, Gal Dongzan himself feels ashamed to explain to his dead companions. As an envoy, he almost died in his own country, and he still doesn't know who the other party is. If it weren't for his negligence and approval of the two deputy envoys' approach, it would not have caused the situation today.
When Leng Feng and others regrouped the army, he had personally visited the place where he fought yesterday. Li Daozong and Gardongzan also went with him. The experienced Li Daozong found that the enemy’s number was less than a hundred people. Through the chaotic horseshoe prints and the night The corpses of the enemies who attacked the mission, guessed the number last night.
The most surprising thing is that these enemies were actually dressed in Tubo costumes, and Gal Dongzan was shocked. He was not a fool. If they were really Tubo citizens, wouldn't they know that the relationship between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, especially the night attack, was not trivial, and it was a complete provocation to the Tang Empire.
Gal Dongzan affirmed that these people are definitely not Tubo nationals, and they must be framed by others. If you change into other clothes, your true identity will be revealed, so Li Kuan and Li Daozong will naturally not suspect that Tubo did it. It is still open to question who instigated it. This is why Li Kuan asked Gardongzan to send the information to Zampo. Inform everything.
This happened in the territory of Tubo. No matter who did it, Songtsen Gambo, the Tubo Zanpu, must investigate the truth.
"Pass the order and move on!" Li Kuan ordered everyone to leave as a deputy. The identity of the enemy is unknown at the moment. Although there is no need to worry about danger during the day, at night, with their current combat power, they can't resist another attack at all.
Everyone had to pack up and set off again. The enemy's attack also resulted in a large number of wounded, which in turn affected the army's itinerary. Even so, Li Kuan still chose to move on, as long as he reunited with Tubo Zampo, their task would be completed.
"Uncle Wang, you led two hundred guards, Princess Wencheng, to join Tubo Zampo!" Li Kuan saw the sun passing over his head, and their speed was too slow. They only walked three miles. It would take time to go on like this. In this way, it is better to let Li Daozong leave first, and he is responsible for the interruption.
Li Daozong pondered for a moment, and agreed with Li Kuan's suggestion, and led a 200-man guard to escort Li Shi across the sea. (End of this chapter)
