Su Dingfang personally went out to invite Liu Yi, the son of Liu Shanyin. Just as he walked to the gate of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, he rode a quick horse and settled at the door. He immediately jumped off a **** wearing an arrow and flag, and rushed to the Metropolitan Mansion with a military briefcase in his hand.

"Stop, what military situation is it? Give it to me." Su Dingfang stopped the pawn.

The little **** was startled, and then he realized that it was Su Dingfang and hurriedly gave a salute to his breath: "The little man was ordered by General Xue, the governor of Shanzhou, Sichuan, to send the plateau messenger Liu Shanyin. Reply to the letter, eager to be the governor of Qin!"

"Follow me in and see the chief governor!" Su Dingfang's heart was stunned: The time has come!

Later, Su Dingfang merged into the main hall with Liu Yi and the messenger little soldier. After seeing the ceremony, Su Dingfang asked the little soldier to submit the official document.

Qin Mubai read the text. It was Liu Shanyin's special envoy's official document, which made a special return to the embassy in Golmud, Tubo, to discuss and give marriage. The letter stated that he had met with Tubo Zanpu and Zongzong Nongzan, and everything was negotiated. It is agreed that the Mid-Autumn Festival will be held in Qingrabara Field, 130 miles west of Dafeichuan, to hold the alliance between the two countries' envoys, and formally sign the agreement and covenant. At the same time, the engagement ceremony of Abandoned Nongzan and Princess Wencheng will be held. On the same day, Tubo Zanpu attended the Peace League meeting in person and invited Princess Wencheng Luan to visit the plateau with a grand honor.

Qin Mubai repeatedly read this not too long letter in detail, his brows gradually raised, and he couldn't help muttering: "Is it really successful?..."

"The negotiation succeeded?" Su Dingfang gave a surprise, obviously incredible.

"Look at it for yourself." Qin Mubai handed him the letter. Then he looked back at Liu Yi and asked him, "Are you Liu Hongxu's son, Liu Yi, what are you doing here to see me?" "

"The villain is Liu Yi." Liu Yi, a young and bookish young born, gave a respectful salute to Qin Mubai. He was also generous and decent in conversation, and said gently, "Dare to ask the governor, Is this letter from my father?"

"Yes."

Liu Yi hesitated for a moment, and begged: "The villain is brave, can you give the villain a look at his father's letter?"

Qin Mubai nodded, and said to Su Dingfang, "It's not a top secret, it doesn't hurt to show him a glance."

"Thanks for the big governor." Liu Yi took the letter and read it carefully, line by line at least three times. A thick cloud suddenly appeared between his eyebrows. Finally, he closed his eyes and shook his head, sighing with infinite sadness and anger. "Father, my life is dead!"

"What?" Qin Mubai and Su Dingfang were shocked, "Why did you say this?"

"The governor of the capital." Liu Yi furrowed his eyebrows, took a deep breath and let out a long spit, and said, "My father had an agreement with the villain. This trip to Tubo will definitely be more fortunate. , He must be buried on the Tubo plateau. If it succeeds, there must be a letter in March to return to the Metropolitan Government. Before leaving, my father repeatedly told him that if the Metropolitan Government receives his autograph reply, he must carefully verify the authenticity. Beware of forgery."

"Forgery?" Su Dingfang said in surprise, "You mean this letter is forged? Probably not! I am also familiar with Liu Honghe. I recognize his handwriting!"

"The handwriting is quite similar, but the letter is definitely false." Liu Yi said with certainty, "My father is a thick and thin person, and he especially told me when he left. , The second, fourth, sixth, and eighth sentences should be hidden sentences, and together they should be "benevolence and justice". But this letter, no. From this, it can be seen that the letter is definitely forged! Moreover, although the handwriting Very similar, but the tone is not very similar. Although my father is full of poems and books, he acts rough and unruly. Even if he writes official documents, he is sloppy and stern, and he will never be as gentle and gentle as this."

Qin Mubai and Su Dingfang were surprised, and took up the letter and compared them carefully with the method Liu Yi said. As he said, it was full of flaws.

"What else did your father say to you?" Qin Mubai asked.

"My father once said that loyalty is difficult to balance, public and private cannot be balanced." Liu Yi's heart is already very heavy, and he slowly said, "Someone in the DPRK named my father to go to Tubo by name. Of course, this is also a reason. Of."

"I know." Qin Mubai said, "Ten years ago, your father was only the district governor of a small county in Xiangzhou, Hebei. Later, he joined the sect of Changsun Wuji, and only soared to the fourth grade Hongyousiqing. Grandmaster. After all, he is the grandson Wuji."

"That's right." Liu Yi nodded without denying, and said, "In the past, my father had always respected and trusted the eldest son Wuji. But in this time of war, my father had In my own opinion, it is not appropriate to discuss and give a marriage. He has served in Honghu Temple for many years and has contacted many Tubo people. He knows that the Hu people are greedy and untrustworthy, and are deeply disgusted. But because of the feelings of teachers and students, he does not To go against the intention of the grandson Wuji, I had to follow the order. In fact, my father knew very well that it was a war or peace against Tubo. In the eyes of people like the general and my father, it was a matter of the destiny of the nation and a century-old plan. In the eyes of Ji and others, it is the key to the party conspiracy. My father hates the party struggle in the DPRK, but he is unable to change... My father has told me more than once that Changsun Wuji and others live in the small Chang'an and the palace. In the process, I gradually lost the struggle for interests and power, and lost the vision and opinions that the state scholars should have. The current eldest grandson Wuji is no longer the eldest grandson Wuji at the beginning of the founding of the country. In fact, the war and problems against Tubo There is no need to argue, the conflict between Datang and Tubo cannot be reconciled, and the struggle will continue forever. Therefore, in the long run, only relying on armed forces to conquer and pacify, and then complete compatibility and integration is the only solution. But the grandson Wuji and others are unwilling to release their military power and power, and they don't want someone to obtain higher merits and prestige than him to erect a strong enemy above the court, so..."

"Needless to say, I understand..." Qin Mubai nodded and sighed, "So your father is very embarrassed. Yu Gong, he is not willing to negotiate peace with Tubo at all; Yu Si, he can't violate The will of the teacher, Sun Wuji. He was embarrassed, so he decided to die, right?"

"Not liberation. Although my father is a scholar, he is a hard bone who would rather beheaded and never bow to his knees!" Liu Yi suddenly said loudly, "My father, he rushed to the plateau with a mortal heart! So I brought me, one is to leave it to the general today to tell the truth; the other is to hope that I can transfer to the general governor for help, see if I can welcome his bones...fallen leaves, return to the roots!"

Falling leaves return to their roots, four words, Liu Yi said it hurts his lungs, tears down.

"Is the heart of death..." Qin Mubai yelled, stepped forward and patted Liu Yi on the shoulder, and said, "How does your father know that he will die in this trip?"

"Did the chief governor forget that my father used to serve in Hongyou Temple? The Tubo envoys lived in Hongyou Temple. My father will pay attention to them sooner or later, knowing that not only did you not sincerely make peace, but also The previous defeat of Dafeichuan was bitter and still coveted and hated the chief governor. Their so-called initiative to negotiate a peace, one is to give the plateau a chance to rest their troops, and the other is also profitable. The wealth of the princess and the dowry is all a net profit,” Liu Yi said, “Therefore, my father knew and abhorred the treacherous and false fraud of Tubo robbers. However, others are light-hearted, dare not, and cannot rely on one-sidedness. Words influence the important affairs of the country, so I bury these thoughts in my heart and dare not tell anyone. Before this trip to Tubo, my father had predicted that Tubo would never have the slightest sincerity to discuss and give marriage; the person responsible for contacting the Central Plains mission The commander of the plateau, Gar Qinling, is extremely deep and proficient in deceit. He is also a tycoon and traitor on the plateau who is unsatisfactory and unsatisfactory. There must be a conspiracy. Therefore, there will be the next father and the villain. Conspiracy agreement-if the alliance is successful, it is God's will, and the letter contains the four characters "benevolence and righteousness" in the letter; if it fails, the Garqin Mausoleum must be used by conspiracy and tricks, and sending someone to defraud the letter is one of the ways My father knows that Garqinling is proficient in sinology and has a lot of capable people under his command. Forging one or two letters is bound to be no problem. If you defraud the governor or the father and daughter of Jiangxia to go to the Tubo plateau... the consequences are unimaginable!"

Qin Mubai and Su Dingfang looked at each other, and they felt a chill in their backs!

Liu Shanyin, this previously unobtrusive little person, now plays a vital role-if it were not for his integrity, shrewdness and generosity, even Qin Mubai would not be able to protect himself and Will Li Daozong fall into this poisonous trick of Gar Qinling!

As Liu Yi said, if the Datang party follows the agreement in the letter-making, Qin Mubai and Li Daozong and Princess Wencheng and others will go to the Qingra Plain to meet the covenant. It does not take much time for Gar Qinling. Kill them all at once...

"Marshal...This... is beyond the expectation of the humble position!" Su Dingfang, who has always been the most calm, sucked in a cold breath.

Qin Mubai cut his hands behind his back, squeezed his fists and swords, and frowned. He paced back and forth for a few steps, and said in a deep voice: "Please, King Jiang Xia!"

"Yes!"

"The Governor..." Liu Yi had red eyes and a smile.

Qin Mubai stepped forward, patted his shoulder lightly, and whispered: "Liu Yi, I have nothing to say. If it weren't for you and your father this time, Qin and countless soldiers and civilians must be buried on the plateau! Lanzhou is closed, and the land of Guanxi of the Tang Dynasty may be defeated by Tubo. The state is shaking and the Tang is in danger... Although your father is a weak scholar, but he turned the tide on the old man. , Is an indomitable hero! Qin is deeply impressed with him and you-please be worshipped by Qin!"

"General Governor Xiu wants to smash the villain!" Liu Yi was frightened and hurried to kneel down, kowtow and said, "The villain can only ask for one thing!"

"Get up, please speak. As long as Qin can do everything he can do, he promises you and will never change!" Qin Mubai stared at him and said every word.

"The villain...just want to fulfill his father’s last wish, welcome his father’s bones or ashes, and welcome him back to Xiangzhou’s hometown for burial, and let him fall to his roots. The father also said that loyalty is hard to achieve, so please refrain from telling all his words and deeds. Act so as not to be on the side of Changsun Wuji...The general only said that Tubo had perfigured and humiliated my Datang messenger, and he would be well-known as his teacher. Father, please be considerate and fulfilled!"

"I promise you." Qin Mu clenched his teeth, nodded solemnly, and said, "Actually, Tubo may not really have the guts to kill your father..."

"Yes, my father once said so. But my father must be martyred by his own body." Liu Shanyi's eyes were red, and his lips choked with trembling, "Otherwise, what is the name of my teacher in the Tang Dynasty...? Qin Dadu Governor? , How to raise troops?!"

Qin Mubai squeezed his wrists back, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and muttered: Liu Shanyin, you are amazing! In Yangyang Datang, I finally have a righteous and state scholar whom Qin Mubai admires sincerely! For public and private, I, Qin Mubai, owe you in this life...I will pay it back in the next life!

Late night, the shadow of the lights flickered in the study of the Metropolitan Government. In fact, there were not many people present, only Qin Mubai, Su Dingfang, Li Daozong and Hou Junji were four people, but it seemed that there were thousands of people holding their breath together, and the atmosphere was tense and depressed.

"Everyone has expressed their opinions for a long time, and the dispute is no way down. It is not a way." Li Daozong said, "Mubai, listen to it, you have listened to all of us, this is good. But after all, you are the lord of Lanzhou. Your Majesty handed over half of the Kansai region to your father and son. At this time, you should make your decision."

"Wait a minute!" Hou Junji interrupted Li Daozong's words and rushed. "I don't think my idea is the best, but after all, there will be a battle with the **** Gar Qinling, yes Sooner or later. Instead of doing this, it’s better to use tricks-isn't he trying to trick the marshal and the prince to go to Qingrabara to kill you all at once? Why don't we treat him in his own way?"

"Hou Junji, you don't want to underestimate the enemy." Li Daozong said, "Don't underestimate the young Gar Qinling. It's not the king's prestige that destroys his aspirations. Gar Qinling joined the army at the age of ten. At the age of fifteen, he was in command. Abandoned Zong Nongzan can calm down the unifying plateau of each tribe. The father and son of the Gar family are inseparable. Among them, Gar Qinling is the first in military service, and he grew up with the abandoned Zong Nongzan since childhood. If the brothers are deeply trusted and relied upon, he even dared to exercise the power of the state in place of Abandoned Zong Nongchan. Also, with 200,000 Tubo cavalry entrenched at the foot of Kunlun Mountains, Gar Qinling dare to set them as free as their own slaves. Wielding—just ask, do you dare to Hou Junji? Qin Mubai, can you do it again?"

Hou Junji's expression was stiff and speechless, and he was instantly dumb.

Li Daozong's words hit the point and also hit Qin Mubai's and Lanzhou's weakness. Comparing the two, Gar Qinling’s superiority in military strength is not inferior to Qin Mubai. His advantage lies in absolute authority and freedom. On the other hand, the court lacks trust and support in Lanzhou, and Qin Mubai is targeted. To be extremely dead, and to do things is always restricted-if you don't know the court in advance and get approval, you can go to war with Gar Qinling. Qin Mubai and Lanzhou will face great pressure and even sanctions.

Seriously speaking, this is a typical case of supporting soldiers without respecting the court!

"I'm really a little envious and jealous of Gar Qinling." Qin Mubai smiled slightly to himself and said, "You don't have to fight anymore, I have already decided."

"What to do?" everyone asked together.

Qin Mubai's eyebrows slightly lowered and glanced at the other three people present, and he said solemnly: "Even if I will be beheaded by the court in the future, I don't want, dare, and can't be the tortoise prefect at this time, and I shrink tightly in my shell. Pretend to be dead inside. I decided, and on the day of the alliance, I will fight with Gar Qinling-decide, one, die, and fight!"
