Garqin Mausoleum completely wiped out the enemy's army and returned home in a big victory. Some kings cheered everywhere, and at the same time, the feelings were fierce and angry. Whether it is a prince or aristocrat or the children of ordinary people, they all came to watch, wanting to see with their own eyes what the legendary "murder king" Hou Junji looks like.

Hou Junji was tied back and sat in the saddle with a cold expression in his eyes. He looked indifferently at the group of Tubo people who shouted and applauded in front of him, as if they were shopping.

Garqin Mausoleum rode beside him, glanced at him sideways, and smiled: "General Hou, how do you feel like being cast aside and cursed by the people?"

"Quite good." Hou Junji smiled indifferently, and said, "The people in your mouth are my enemy. Being so hated by the enemy at least proves that Hou is quite competent as a general."

Garqin Ling frowned slightly, "Have you ever thought about how you would die?"

"This kind of nerve-wracking problem should be for you to think about, what should I worry about?" Hou Junji continued to sneer, "Anyway, as long as I live for one day, you will serve me to eat and drink. Let me make it clear. It's not good wine or meat. If you starve to death, all your wishful thinking will be lost."

Garqin Mausoleum gritted his teeth, turned his head and stopped talking to Hou Junji, secretly saying in his heart: This Hou Junji seems to be a savage bravery, but in fact there is still a little city and vision. It is a pity that due to his character, if he wants to fight against Chaotang, he must be far from the opponent of people like Changsun Wuji and Qin Mubai. Earlier he was squeezed out by the eldest grandson Wuji, but now he is used and abandoned by Qin Mubai... If this person was born on the plateau, he would be my strong arm! Because in my Tubo dynasty temple, there are not as many intrigues and intrigues as Tang Yan, relying on strength!

Before the king city surrounded the mountains and plains, the army of the Garqin Mausoleum blocked a road, preparing to enter the city. The anger of the people on both sides gradually rose, and many people shouted that they would tear Hou Junji into pieces and swallow them in one bite. More people squeezed in desperately to rush in and pounce on Hou Junji. There were also some overly radical Tubos who walked next to Hou Junji regardless of the Garqin Mausoleum and threw stones at Hou Junji. Annoyed the Garqin Mausoleum, ordered the sword to be drawn to intimidate and arrested a few radical people, and the turbulent crowd subsided a little.

Finally entered the royal city, the Garqin Mausoleum asked the sergeant to assemble Hou Jun to a secret room for imprisonment, strictly guarded that no one was allowed to approach, and provided all kinds of alcohol and meat, and asked the medical officer to treat Hou Junji’s injuries. .

Garqin Ling personally waved the knife, cut the rope on Hou Junji's body, glanced at him, and strode away.

Hou Junji laughed loudly and shouted: "I want to roast the whole lamb, and I want you to praise the wine! I also need to take a bath in hot water and change into new clothes. A little bit of improper service, I smashed my head. Die on the wall!"

All of his Tubo sergeants blushed with anger and their necks were thick, and because of the marshal general, they dared not follow, so they swallowed their grievances in their stomachs.

Garqin Tomb went to see Zamp.

Abandoned Zong Nong praised when he saw Garqin Mausoleum, he smiled and sighed, stepped forward to catch him and said: "Qin Ling, you and my brothers won’t say a word of thanks. Anyway... …This country can be praised without my abandoning the clan, but it can’t be without you, Garqin Mausoleum!"

"The praise is heavy." Gal Qinling sighed, gritted his teeth and frowned, and said, "I have ten thousand reasons to kill Hou Junji. Really, I really want to bite off his every bit. A piece of meat can be swallowed alive without drinking water. But Zampu is not willing to let him die, so I can’t kill it."

"Everyone in the world misunderstands Qinling, only when Qinling is domineering and arrogant. Only I know that Qinling always puts the country first in his heart, and I have my useless Zanpu brother in his heart." Zan also gave a bitter smile, and Lagar Qinling sat down to pour a cup of wine for him, and said, "Please drink this cup, and Brother Quandangyu is grateful to you!"

"Thank you brother!" Garqin Ling took a full sip and sighed heavily, and said, "Brother, what are you going to do next?"

"Li Shimin has given an order to fight with me with all his strength. Qin Mubai led a 400,000 army to counterattack the plateau, pressing on every step. At this moment, the enemy is strong and our weak situation is critical." Zong Nong frowned. "However, the Han people have always attached great importance to power, and at any time they think more about benefits. In fact, even if they conquer the plateau, they may not really have much benefit. Not to mention that the war consumes a lot of national power, which is the many troubles after the war. It was enough to bother the Tang Dynasty for ten years. Whether it is Li Shimin or the ministers, it is impossible not to consider these-that is to say, Li Shimin also has a tough attitude on the surface, and he is also very hesitant and hesitated in his heart. He has been calculating , After all, this war is not worthwhile. This also means that the alliance is not completely impossible."

Garqin Ling nodded indifferently, and said: "As my brother said, the war has not yet fully erupted, and it is the last time for the alliance. Once Qin Mubai is on the plateau, it is The arrow of leaving the string has to be sent, and the last chance for peace and alliance is gone. It is true that I have always opposed any peace alliance, but... out of respect for Zamp, I can't do it my own way. Try something else. Governance strategies and diplomatic methods may also be good. For the moment, even if it is a respite for ten or twenty years."

Abandoned Zong Nong Zan smiled in relief, and nodded: "Thank you, Qin Ling. You are intensively studying Sinology and are familiar with the Han people. You should know that when they face a foreign enemy's persecution, they will be firmly committed to the outside world. Once the whole world is peaceful and there are no external troubles, you will catch your opponents and kill yourself and violently internal worries. The current Tang Dynasty seems to be rich and strong, but in fact internal worries are also quite serious. Li Shimin’s sons are almost all grown up, not long ago. The prince Chengqian was abolished, and now the East Palace has been vacant. This is his real confidant. At this time, we should not bother him, and let them fight against the group of people in the hall to kill you and to make Li Shimin exhausted. Take advantage of this. Opportunity, we just have a rest and recuperation, and can get a lot of things from the Tang dynasty-like resources such as money, food, cloth, tea, iron smelting, weaving, planting, pottery and so on, as well as many cultural essences, all of which require We spent many years learning and applying."

"Yes." Garqin Ling nodded decisively and said, "I have to admit that Datang has a glorious civilization that we can't match. For Sinology, the deeper I study, the more I feel I am ignorant and simple. Before this, I have always thought that we should take advantage of our strong national strength, Ma Fengrui, to defeat Datang and seize all these things. Now I understand that Zanpu was right. The current Datang is indeed unmatched. . But he is not invincible—the chance of victory may be what Zampu Gangfang said, when their internal worries broke out!"

"Yeah!" Abandoned Zong Nongzan once again showed his face and smiled and nodded in relief, "Qin Ling, you are still the one you were back then, my flesh and blood brother and true friend. But I want to know that the leader went out yesterday. At that time, your attitude was quite tough. Why did you suddenly change your attitude today?"

"Because of Hou Junji." Garqin Ling unscrambled his brows and said, "It is him who changed my view of the Han people, and also changed my perception of the current situation, and also shaken my eternal heart. Unchanging...faith!"

"Why?" Abandoned Zong Nongzan asked in surprise.

Garqin Mausoleum picked up a glass of wine, shook his eyebrows in contemplation, and said: "I have been in the army for 20 years. I have never met a general like Hou Junji, nor have I met him. This kind of army. Brother, do you know that although we were victorious in this battle, we were not victorious. I have carefully checked and found that every soldier of the Tang Army has no less than ten wounds — and no Minor injuries. Before the fierce battle, among the more than 20,000 Tang troops, at least 10,000 should not be seriously injured, including Hou Junji. However, all of them died fighting to the end, and there was no deserter, except for Hou Junji. A prisoner, not even a corpse, is full of limbs... This is really terrifying! It is Hou Junji, this army, which shows me the terrible power in the Han people!"

Abandoned Zong Nongzan's face changed slightly! ——I have known Garqin Mausoleum for so many years, it is almost the first time I heard him say the word ‘terrible’!

"I used to think that our Tubo nation is the bravest nation in the world, the most loyal, brave, and fearless nation. But compared with Hou Junji and his army, we are just brave." Garr Qin Ling furrowed his brows and his eyes were quite cold, and said, "The power shown by Hou Junji and his sergeants seems to surpass the power of human beings. I was puzzled by what made them overcome humanity. The fear of death instinct, what makes them surpass the limit of injury that the human body can bear... Now I understand."

"What is it?"

"Faith." Garqin Ling's face sank and said, "It is the Han Chinese in the Central Plains. The culture and enlightenment accumulated over thousands of years gives them a powerful spiritual power that ordinary people do not possess. In fact, they are more physical than they are. , Strength, equestrianism, archery and fighting skills, our Tubo army is indeed invincible in the world. But... we lack faith, or we don’t have faith. The reason why our sergeants fight is for reward or fear after the war. Punishment of defeat. For a while, all of these can arouse the fighting power of the army, and the Han army is indeed generally unable to beat us. But... if the fighting spirit of the Han people is really aroused, the belief in their hearts will become incomparable. The power of horror has turned them all into crazy fighters like devil gods, almost invincible-just like this army of Hou Junji!"

"So, we need to pursue and erect our orthodoxy as soon as possible!" Abandoned Zong Nongchan punched the table with a punch, and said in a deep voice, "A country can’t be governed by war horses and scimitars for long. . You must have your own orthodoxy to teach the people and influence future generations. Only with the orthodox education can you truly subdue the hearts of the people and the country can last for a long time. Qinling, I have discussed with you many times the legalism and Confucianism in Sinology. You always think that the rule of law is the best way to prosper the country and strengthen the army. I agree with this, and the facts have proved that you did it. In just a few years, our Tubo empire was strong and powerful, and our army was no one in the world. But if To pursue long-term stability and real prosperity, we still need to clean up the hearts of the people. Just relying on the intimidation and sanctions of severe penalties and military expansion to plunder can only be achieved quickly, not a long-term solution!"

"Hey...!" Gal Qinling sighed heavily and shook his head, "I am too impatient. Now, it is time to put down my body to make peace with Datang and learn art from the teacher. The only thing I worry about now is , The hatred between the two sides is too deep, Datang may not be so easy to accept the alliance. And...there is the biggest obstacle in front of us!"

"You mean, Qin Mubai?"

"Yes."

Abandoned Zong Nong praised for a moment, smiled slightly, and said: "Have you ever thought about Qinling, actually Qin Mubai looks a lot like you?"

Garqin Mausoleum was taken aback, and said calmly, "Maybe!"

"In fact, he is also a rare talent. He can command a thousand troops when he is on horse, and he can pass through the country and Anbang when he is dismounted." Abandoned Zong Nong praised, "Qin Mubai is not an ordinary general, otherwise Li Shimin's ability to understand The imperial skill is so deep that it is impossible to send him to Lanzhou to take the lead. The implication is that Qin Mubai seems to be just a marshal in command, but in fact he already has the ability to influence major national policies of the imperial court. Moreover, we I've seen it a long time ago, haven't I?——Hou Junji, isn't it just a man-eating monster he released? The purpose is nothing more than to stimulate the conflicts between the people and the race, so that the two countries can break completely, and the war can break out irreparably? He has always been a tough main combatant!"

"My elder brother meant that you still need to tie the bell to untie the bell? If you want to make an alliance, you must convince Qin Mubai first?" Gal Qinling said.

"Not bad." Abandoned Zong Nong praised and nodded, "I know it's difficult, quite difficult. But it may not be successful if you try, and there will be no chance if you don't try. And have you thought about why Qin Mubai is such a tough main battle? , Is it just influenced by his father Qin Shubao?"

"I thought about..." Garqin Ling said, "Qin Mubai is not only a general but also a politician. He thinks more about his political future. As far as I know, Qin Mubai and Wu Wang Li Ke are the closest, and the relationship between Wei Wang Li Tai and Jin Wang Li Zhi, who are most likely to be crowned princes, is normal. If Li Tai and Li Zhi succeed to the throne, they will definitely be the kings of success. Qin Mubai should be like this. People are of little use. So I guess Qin Mubai wants to turn the tide and change the fate of himself and Li Ke, and use unparalleled military service and prestige to support Li Ke to come to power, so as to ensure that he will stand tall in the next few decades. !"

"Shot on the nail!" Abandoned Zong Nong praised, "So, if you want to convince Qin Mubai, you have to start with Li Ke—coincidentally, Li Ke is now in Qin Mubai’s army. Supervisor! Hou Junji is Qin Mubai’s confidant, but in the eyes of the court, it is a big rebellion. Therefore, we cannot kill Hou Junji. The enemy’s enemy is our friend and we can use it. Hou Junji this The character is very important, and you must make a big fuss about him!"

"Oh?" Garqin Ling let out a surprise, "Is your brother already confident?"

"No..." Abandoned Zong Nong praised and shook his head, "I just want to try first. Li Ke's position is the court, which is different from Qin Mubai, a military commander. No matter how close the relationship between them is, In the face of such a big right and wrong, the opposition should still be opposed. Therefore, as long as we are willing to sincerely declare and pay tribute, this will be beneficial to the Tang court, and there is no reason for Li Ke as the mouthpiece of the court. Reject our offer to make peace. The Han people want to save face. They advocate peace as the most important policy, and the best policy is to surrender the soldiers without fighting. We Tubo people, unlike the Han people, do not like to make a false name and suffer from actual exhaustion and become ministers. Just call it a minister, and pay tribute to tribute. What does it matter? Wait ten or twenty years, we will become stronger, and they will have civil strife. Whether it is fame or good, we can all recover the shame. In the history of the Han people, no Is there an allusion that the King of Yue Goujian has the courage to pay?-And I guess that the Tang Dynasty, who is desperate to face and prides itself on being rich in the world, will accept our surrender and honour, but will not ask for our tribute at all; not only will it not, it will According to the previous agreement, the princess and the relatives were sent, and a considerable amount of dowry was presented. This is their character!-Qinling, do you think this kind of business is worthwhile?"

"My brother is still clever." Gal Qinling smiled and said, "It's just that he might be stigmatized and wronged at that time."

"It doesn't matter!" Abandoned Zong Nong Zan laughed, "Even if I want me to abandon the Zong Zong and go to Chang'an as a hostage, it will do. Together, we created the Tubo country. The country bears responsibility, isn’t it? Compared to the warriors who died on the battlefield, what am I worth? Besides, I went to Chang'an, and you can stay here to assist my son. I said, Tubo can Without my abandoning the ancestry to praise, but absolutely can not live without the Garqin Mausoleum! — As long as the Qin Mausoleum is still there, Tubo will surely rise to its glory one day! What I said to you today can also be regarded as Tuogu! If one day I go to Chang'an, I will definitely not come back, you will assume that I am dead. Tubo, it is all up to you!"

Garqin Mausoleum trembled all over, staring at Abandoned Zong Nong Zan, raised his glass, "Brother, I respect you!"

"The heart of prospering Tibet will not die, and the heart of dying Tang will not die!" Zizong Nong praised and raised his glass, "Qin Ling, no matter what happens tomorrow, our brothers will still be together, please remember this sentence! ——Ten years, 20 years, or even 100 years, I hope that one day there will be our people who will plant the Tubo totem flag on the top of the imperial city of Chang'an in Datang!"

"The heart of prospering Tibet will not die, and the heart of dying Tang will not die!-Cheers!"
