It's late at night.

The sound of the Buddhist sing is still there, but the monks have changed a group. It is said that this time the temple will last forty-nine days.

A big man wearing a cloak and even his face covered up, walked into the monastery shed. He put three incense sticks on Xue Jun. After saluting, Xue Renzhong stood up and respectfully led the big man to the Macha Temple.

Tang Degong had been waiting there long ago.

The great man untied his cloak and took off his mask. He was the current General of the Left Wu Guard of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Rui has been in office for more than a year since he took office in Zuowuwei, but for the entire Qinghai or Tubo, this person has always seemed very mysterious.

Almost everyone thinks that Li Rui's trip to the Zuo Wu Guard was a kind of restraint by Li Ze on the Zuo Wu Guard General Li Cunzhong. The arrival of this person is very likely to cause a power seizure or even internal discord among the Zuo Wu Guard.

Li Rui is not an ordinary person. This person was named Hu Shier. He made great contributions when Li Ze overthrew Chengdeji Group in the early days. It was precisely because of this person's special contribution that Li Ze completely defeated the Su Group without any effort. It is precisely because of this that Hu Shier was given the surname Li by Li Ze and changed his name to Li Rui.

Later, this man became the General of the Central Army under the command of Liu Chenglin, the Right Guard.

He was transferred to Zuo Wuwei last year.

Although they are all in Generals of the Central Army, the third person in the Tang Dynasty is the third person except the General and the Supervisor. However, everyone believes that Li Rui was specially sent by Li Ze to take over the Zuo Wu Guard and is the inevitable candidate for the next General of the Zuo Wu Guard.

However, this great general with such an important identity seemed extremely mysterious after he took office at the Zuo Wuwei, and rarely appeared. He occasionally showed up in activities such as the Zuo Wuwei military parade, and was also in a hurry. Not to mention the power dispute between the Zuo Wuwei power that everyone was looking forward to, Li Rui had never handled much official duties publicly at all.

For such an important person, Tubo’s great discussion on Delhi Chinan would naturally not take it lightly. It took a lot of effort to find out that Li Rui, who looked as strong as a cow, was extremely unfit for the unique climate on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Every time he went to the plateau, he would feel uncomfortable, and if he didn’t deal with it well, he would get sick.

Because of this, most of the time, this person stays in Ganzhou.

This actually made Delhi Chinan breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, judging from Li Rui's past record, this person is an extremely difficult opponent. Hu Shier was born as an inner guard, he was meticulous and extremely cunning in his military use, and was known as a spirit fox. This person cannot go to the battlefield, which is naturally a great news for Tubo.

But now, Li Rui, who has been rumored to be in poor health for nearly a year, has appeared in Chamdo secretly. Judging from his lively appearance, how could he look like he is not adapted to the plateau climate?

"Thank you, General Li Zhonglang, for coming to pay homage to my father!" When he entered the room, Xue Renzhong paid a big gift to pay homage to him again.

Li Rui is not Tang Degong.

Although Tang Degong's identity is important, his identity background and future prospects are far from comparable to the one in front of him.

Li Rui helped Xue Renzhong up with both hands and said, "This is what it should be. No matter what the Xue family has done before, over the years, you have worked hard and worked hard to manage the current situation for our Tang Dynasty in the past ten years. The head of the Xue family finally offered sacrifices. Of course, the Tang Dynasty will not forget such contributions. I will come to worship and bow a few heads to the head of the Xue family. It is worth it."

Speaking of Xue Jun's death, Xue Renzhong couldn't help but burst into tears again: "Dad, he died too miserably."

Li Rui patted Xue Renzhong on the shoulder: "You can only die once, but how to die is actually not very important. What matters is the value brought by his death. Some people die and are worthless, but some people die but have a profound impact. You don't have to be too sad. When we attack Lhasa, I will make the decision and leave your big enemy to you for disposal. How about it?"

"Thank you, General Li!" Xue Renzhong was overjoyed and bowed deeply again.

"Sit all!" Tang Degong pointed to the burning fire pit and said, "It's hard for General Li Zhonglang to come all the way. Renzhong has worked hard for these days to handle the funeral. The lamb legs are roasted here and the wine is warm. Let's have a chat while eating!"

The three of them sat down around Huoyong, and Li Rui said, "Responsible, you should ban meat and alcohol during your mourning, but the war is about to begin. Being vegetarian can be detrimental to your physical strength. If you are urgent, you still have to eat meat, so don't drink wine with me. Just drink Lao Tang and I!"

"Thank you, General Li Zhonglang, for understanding!" Xue Renzhong said.

The three of them sat down around the fire pit, took out their carry-on knife, cut off the roasted lamb piece by piece, and ate it in big mouthfuls with warm wine.

"Thank you for nearly a year, and finally you have to wait for the result." After applying oil on your mouth, Li Rui sighed: "I have been suffocated to death for the past six months."

"It is only with General Li Zhonglang's temperament that he can tolerate such loneliness. If someone else is replaced, I'm afraid he can't do it." Tang Degong smiled.

"If you can't do it, you have to do it even if you insist!" Li Rui smiled and said, "I remember when I was undercover in the Su Group, it was much more dangerous than the current one. Didn't I just cheer myself up and survive?"

"That's different!" Tang Degong smiled and said, "At that time, General Li Zhonglang was not General Li!"

At that time, Li Rui was still an unknown little spy detective, and was severely punished by Li Ze for his cleverness. Now, he can be regarded as successful and famous. After he is in a high position, he can still endure loneliness, so his weight is naturally different.

"For you, it may be different, but for me, it is the same. Aren't they all doing things for the young master?" Li Rui raised his head and drank a glass of wine and said.

This makes people envious. There are really few people who can call Li Ze the young master instead of His Majesty now. Even people from secret camps are divided into different levels.

A year ago, Li Rui arrived in Chamdo.

His arrival in Chamdo was earlier than the official documents of the imperial court to formally appoint him as the General of the Left Wu Guard.

When he first went to the plateau, he did feel uncomfortable for a long time, but he had a good foundation. After the initial most difficult stage, he became more adaptable to the climate here.

For a whole year, Xue Jun used his last little ability to shine and heat to prepare weapons and supplies for the rebel army in Chamdo. Li Rui's three thousand rangers arrived in Chamdo one after another in batches. Like Li Rui, these people had been unhappy for a long time after they arrived at the plateau. Some of them became weak and had to withdraw, and some of them were buried on this plateau.

But most people have now adapted to the climate here and have become brave warriors who are good at fighting again.

Just as Li Ze said, now with the military and economic strength of the Tang Dynasty, fighting Tubo is not a problem. The problem lies in the weather and climate here. People on the plains sometimes cannot breathe even if they walk a few steps faster.

This is also the determination of Delhi Chinan to be confident in dealing with the Tang Dynasty to the end.

There were only a limited number of soldiers who could send to Tubo to fight. So far, only Li Cunzhong's Zuowu Guard was the only one.

It has been a whole year since the Tang Dynasty set up this plan.

Planning this situation is a step further. After the two serf uprising troops officially started and occupied Chamdo and Yushu, the plan took shape, and then gradually modified and improved in the following time.

If Chinan in Delhi wants to launch a war against the Zuowuwei, his first step is to kill the serf uprising army in his territory to ensure that when he confronts the Tang army, the backyard will not catch fire. More importantly, he now also needs to kill the serf uprising army in Chamdo to ensure that the business road imported from Yizhou is unobstructed.

No matter what, Delhi Chinan must first solve this problem.

It was precisely because of this judgment that after the Xue family basically took control of Changdu, the Xue family troops entrenched in Changdu no longer took the initiative to provoke the Tubo army, but began to operate some important areas in Changdu with all their hearts. They built fortresses, castles, and defense networks, and at the same time began to reserve a large amount of strategic materials.

The joint efforts with the Red Cult Lomba Lama ensured that the people in this area with extreme religious devotion, and believed that this army was undoubtedly the divine weapon sent by Buddha to protect them.

The Xue family's administration in Chamdo also made them confirm this again.

The serfs who had nothing had their own pastures, their own cattle and sheep, and their own land. They herd horses and sheep, farmed and worked hard, and truly worked hard for their future. The government here only collected a small part of the tax.

The military expenditure of the Xue army in Chamdo basically comes from the input of the Xue family and the secret supplies of the Tang Dynasty.

In recent years, Xue's backbone military force in Chamdo has grown to a total of 10,000 people. Once the war begins, Chamdo can still mobilize young and strong people, at least tens of thousands of people, and they are young and strong who have undergone certain military training.

Unlike the business strategy of Chamdo, Abdula, another serf uprising army rooted in Yushu, attacked everywhere and kept harassing the great nobles in Tubo on the plateau.

Yushu is just a relatively stable stronghold for Abdula. Basically, Abdula can only be regarded as a bandit.

Now, Abdula is cooperating with the Tang army's grand strategy and marching desperately towards Qinghai. His actions were also interpreted by the Tubo senior officials as a military operation that wanted to join the Tang army.

The real killer of the Tang people was in Chamdo.

The main target of Tubo is also Chaodu.

Moreover, the Tang people wanted to do a big vote in Chamdo and reverse the power balance between the two sides on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in one fell swoop.
