When Lu Dongzan ran out of the tent, he saw a bearded general and an old man standing outside the tent.
"Is that him?" Lu Dongzan asked, staring at the old man behind the bearded general.
"Prime Minister, this is the man!" The bearded man bowed and saluted.
The old man seemed a little nervous and a little scared. He kept standing behind and did not dare to step forward.
Lu Dongzan took a deep breath, tried his best to look affable, bowed to the old man and said, "Excuse me, sir!"
The old man waved his hands repeatedly and said: "My lord, you don't have to be like this, you don't have to be like this!"
"Old man, I have something to ask you. How about we go to the tent to have something to eat?" Lu Dongzan said with a smile.
"Old man, our Lord is the Prime Minister of Tubo. As long as you are obedient and you answer whatever the Prime Minister asks you, you will be guaranteed endless wealth and glory!" The bearded general was banging on the side.
Lu Dongzan glared at the bearded general and said, "Why are you talking to my father-in-law? He is just a rough man. He has offended many people before, so don't mind!"
"I don't mind, I don't mind! It's okay!" the old man said awkwardly.
Under the guidance of Lu Dongzan, the three of them walked into the big tent. Lu Dongzan personally poured a glass of water for the old man and ordered his men to get some food.
After the food was placed on the table, he picked up the wine glass and said to the old man: "Come on, old man, let me toast you!"
The old man picked up the wine glass with some fear, his hands trembling.
He had never seen any prime minister in his life. He didn't expect to see one today. He would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous.
Seeing Lu Dongzan finish the wine in one gulp, the old man looked at the wine in his hand, licked his lips, and drank it too.
After drinking one glass, the old man wiped his mouth, nodded and praised: "Good wine, this is the best wine I have ever drunk in my life!"
Lu Dongzan smiled and said: "Old man, don't just drink wine, come and have something to eat!"
While eating and drinking, Lu Dongzan only focused on encouraging people to eat and drink without saying anything or asking any questions. Gradually, the old man let down his guard and started chatting freely with Lu Dongzan.
Seeing this, Lu Dongzan knew he had succeeded, and raised his glass again: "Old man, there is something I don't know whether to ask or not. If you know, just tell me. If you don't know, it's okay!"
After a few glasses of wine, the old man's face became rosy. When he heard Lu Dongzan's words, he raised his glass and said, "Ask me, if I know anything I will tell you!"
Lu Dongzan was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "You are a woodcutter in this area. If I want to bypass Yumen Pass, is there any other way?"
The cup in the old man's hand paused for a moment. He didn't expect Lu Dongzan to ask such a question. He frowned slightly and thought for a while before saying: "Yes, there is. From ancient times to the present, wars have often occurred at Yumen Pass. In order not to be caught in the flames of war, Despite the disturbance, our ancestors found a path and successfully passed through Yumen Pass."
"Although this path can pass through Yumen Pass, it is not very easy to walk. Otherwise, such a path would have been discovered by others, and it would have been passed down from generation to generation by us woodcutters!"
Hearing the old man's words, Lu Dongzan almost jumped up and laughed. It really took no effort to get there after breaking through iron shoes and finding nowhere. Unexpectedly, he asked people to find other roads through Yumen Pass, and he actually found it!
As long as they can pass through Yumen Pass on this path, the Yumen Pass blocking them will not pose a threat. As for Luo Zhang? Just let him die with his artillery.
If Luo Zhang dares to chase him, then he will let Luo Zhang know how powerful he is!
The frustration these days has made Lu Dongzan hate Luo Zhang, but he can do nothing about Luo Zhang. Now he is finally relieved!
At that moment, Lu Dongzan asked the old man in detail about crossing the Yumenguan path. But after learning about the condition of the path, Lu Dongzan's face turned ugly again.
There are indeed small roads, and they do exist, but as the old man said before, the roads are not easy to walk. Forget about ox-carts and horse-drawn carriages. Even war horses cannot pass. Only one person can pass through in turn. Without war horses to fight, without horse-drawn carriages, Even if the oxcart transports supplies through Yumen Pass, how can this battle be fought?
Could he rush to the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty with his legs?
Just give up this opportunity?
Lu Dongzan was struggling fiercely in his heart. It was obviously impossible to successfully attack Yumen Pass. The second siege was beaten back by Luo Zhang's artillery. Let alone the cavalry pursuit, if he attacked Yumen Pass again, the result would be the same. of.
Instead of just sitting there waiting for death, why not fight to the death!
Thinking of this, Lu Dongzan turned into a good old man when he looked at the old man again and said: "Old man, can you take us to that path?"
