Chapter 500 Destiny, Human Wish
No one thought that the two men of life and death enemies finally met together. Instead of drawing knives and splashing blood on the spot, they talked about drinking all night.
At the dawn of the generals, there was also a melodious piano sound in the military tent, full of exotic music.
"Qin Mubai, don't be as shallow and ignorant as other Han people. You call all the foreigners the Hu people, thinking that as long as the knife used by the Hu people is a machete, and the piano played by the Hu people is the horse-headed piano. The voice and intonation of Garqinling sounded like a teacher. He said, "Now the hexade organ I play also has five strings. Its name is 'Zhamu Nie'."
"I know, Mr. gar." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "In Tubo language, Zamu means 'voice', and ' Nie' is a pleasant and beautiful voice. Zamu Nie is a beautiful and pleasant piano. Just now, I asked you to play the song and casually said 'horse-headed piano', just out of language habits.
"Your habits are very annoying." The eyebrows of garqinling were slightly sunken, and he said with disgust, "You always think you are superior, look down on the Hu people from the bottom of your heart, and have no respect for our customs, habits and everything. In your opinion, we drink blood like animals, and we have no feelings or faith.
"You are too extreme." Qin Mubai said lightly.
"I'm telling the truth." A sharp light flashed in the eyes of the Qar Qinling, staring at Qin Mubai and said, "When I first rode a horse, I was only seven years old. At that time, my father told me that the Han people are our eternal enemies, just like beasts will never be friends with hounds. Since then, I have been curious about why we are the same people, but we have to hate each other so much with the Han people. So when I was eight years old, I went to Guanzhong for the first time and went to Chang'an. Then travel around the Central Plains to study and practice for five years.
"These five years must be very important to you." Qin Mubai said, "You are proficient in Sinology, and even ordinary Confucian students are not as good as you. You are familiar with military books, and you can be called the great success of the current military family. It's Sinology that makes you both civil and military, but in the end, why do you conquer the Han people who bully in the Central Plains?
"I admit that I am amazed by the breadth and depth of Sinology and the rich civilization of the Central Plains. But what shocked or angry me more is the way you Han people look at the barren. The garchinling frowned deeply, as if recalling a very unbearable past, and said, "As long as it is a barbarian, it is barbarian, ignorant, despicable and inferior in your eyes. As long as he is a barbi man, no matter how kind and rich he is, whether he is the king of a country or an ordinary serfs, he has the same impression in your eyes - just a barnabis. There is contempt and humiliation in your bones, as if we were born in a foreign country and born a sin. From then on, I vowed to change this situation. At first, I was crazy about studying. I just want to prove that the Hu people are no worse than any Han people, and we can understand what you know. But it's useless. In five years, I really read more than 10,000 books. At that time, even the five Han teachers who taught me were shocked, and even willingly came to the plateau with me.
"But it's useless. The more I read, the more I feel that I can't finish the book, and the more I feel that I want to be more advanced in knowledge. It's impossible. Garqinling sighed and said, "The cultural heritage of thousands of years is indeed not what I, a mortal and vulgar, can imitate and surpass in my lifetime. Later, I returned to the plateau and assisted my brother-in-law with my father, who is today's Lord Zanpu, to pacify the war in the four directions and establish the first unified dynasty in the true sense of the plateau. From then on, I was thinking, how can ordinary Tubo people do something that even my Garqin Mausoleum can't do? - If you want to compete with civilization and prosperity with the Central Plains, I'm afraid it's not enough to give us another thousand years!"
"Since then, I have had a dream in my heart - to conquer the Central Plains! Only in this way can you have your civilization and wealth in the shortest and fastest time! For this dream, I came to the Central Plains again and studied for another three years!"
"Luckily, I found the answer in a tavern in Luoyang - you can't imagine what I saw that day!"
"What?" Qin Mubai asked.
Garqinling smiled faintly and said, "There are three young scholars who are half drunk, talking about the sea and the sky. It turned out that the three of them were both failed scholars who were complaining about the official system of the Tang Dynasty. From their conversation, I heard that the Tang Dynasty with Confucianism has all kinds of benefits, but the biggest drawback is to bind people's hearts, especially with famous titles and various dogmas to bind the hearts of officials. Then they also talked about the pre-Qin era and talked about the legal changes in the State of Qin. At that time, I was very interested in what they said, especially the legal doctrine. As soon as I got back, I began to study and study. Three years later, I returned to the plateau. I began to assist my brother Zanpu and began to legislate a powerful country. Sure enough, in a short period of time, Tubo's national strength increased its troops and Ma Zhuang!"
"Then, you started a war." Qin Mubai shook his head gently.
"There is a saying that the Han people use their own strengths to attack each other's weaknesses." The garqin Mausoleum said, "In my lifetime, I will definitely not be able to see how splendid civilization the Tubo Dynasty has created and how much amazing wealth it has created. Our only advantage is the military. It is indeed an immediate effect to enrich the country and strengthen the country by the rule of law. When my command gathered 300,000 Kunlun iron riders, I knew that my opportunity had come! Although I know better than anyone else, in just more than ten years, Tubo can't accumulate the national strength to compete with the Tang Dynasty. However, the Tang Dynasty is like a towering giant, and my Garqin Mausoleum and 300,000 Kunlun iron riders are like a sharp vertebra - if you want to kill the giant, you don't need to smash him to his bones. It's enough to seal your throat with a stab, isn't it?"
Qin Mubai smiled indifferently, "You almost succeeded. If you attack Lanzhou, it is like a sharp cone piercing the skin of the giant's throat. But even if you take Lanzhou, you will never completely conquer the Central Plains.
"Why?"
"The reason is very simple." Qin Mubai said, "You are not born at the right time! There are many ills in the Tang Dynasty, but he is still very strong. When you exhausted your hard work and tried your best to invade, in my Tang Dynasty, it was still just a disease of scab. It's like a mosquito. It hurts when it bites people, but every time it sucks blood, it kills. If the person who is bitten by it is really annoyed to kill it, he just needs to slap it down and pat it. That's fine.
Gar Qinling's face is a little ugly. "Are you trying to say that you don't know anything like us at all?"
"That's almost what it means." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "You will want to say that we look down on you from the bottom of our hearts, right? Actually, that's not the case. Tubo is indeed the most powerful enemy of the Tang Dynasty, and your Garqin Mausoleum has always been the most important opponent of my Qin Mubai. The metaphor between people and mosquitoes I just mentioned has no intention of contempt for anyone. This is the contrast of the national strength between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo today, which is a fact. Whether I say it or not, whether you admit it or not, it is true. So I said, you are not born at the right time.
"Maybe..." Gar Qinling frowned slightly and suddenly his eyes were clear, "But if it weren't for you, I would be much more likely to succeed!"
"Impossible." Qin Mubai said decisively, "Even without Qin Mubai, there will be Zhang Mubai and Zhao Mubai. It's useless. At least for now, Tubo is definitely no match for the Tang Dynasty. This can't be changed by a person's ability or luck alone!"
"Before the uprising, I had expected that my opponent would be Li Jing, or even Li Shimin!" Garqinling said, "I made enough preparations before I started. But I didn't expect... What was waiting for me was an unknown opponent who was younger than me. In fact, until now, I don't think your talent is so outstanding. Although you have learned the art of war from Li Jing, you are far from reaching a deep level, and you are not even as good as Hou Junji. Although you are a little smart, you are definitely not as good as Li Daozong, an old fox who has been in the court for decades. Speaking of literature and martial arts, you are almost useless - but I lost to you inexplicably!"
Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing, "So, you are too unlucky!"
"I thought about this question over and over again, and then I understood it." Garqinling said, "The reason why I lost to you is to respond to a big taboo in the art of war - I don't know! I don't know anything about you! You are different from any Han people I know and know. Your thoughts, your actions, and your intentions are completely different from everyone else! Including the thunder, cannon, flying gull and musket you used to deal with us, it has been unheard of in the past ten years of my study in the Central Plains! Most of the time, I think you can be unpredictable, and more often, you are unexpected! - So I have guessed more than once, do you belong to the same world and the same era as us?
"You guessed right. I'm actually from more than a thousand years later." Qin Mubai held the wine glass and said faintly.
Garqinling was stunned at first, and then laughed, "Okay, I believe it!"
"What I said is true!"
"I really believe it!"
Qin Mubai shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, "These days, lies are so deceptive, and no one believes the truth."
"I've finished what I should say or shouldn't say. Keep playing the piano!" Gar Qinling put down his glass and sighed heavily. He smiled at Qin Mubai and said, "Although you and I are born old enemies and can't exist in the world, God treats me well after all, so that I can have a bosom friend in my life. I didn't expect that the last time I played music in my life would be played to you!"
"Zha Mu Nie... a beautiful piano." Qin Mubai played with the wine glass, his expression was as clear as water, and his eyes were complicated and confused. "Come on, take the pipa!" ...Please invite my father's handsome spiritual position and the demon's spiritual position!"
At dawn, a string was startled, and the wonderful sound round was like the sound of nature.
The Kansai army veterans who had been following Qin Mubai for a long time heard the long-lost sound of the pipa.
After a song, the Chalqin Mausoleum actually burst into tears.
"The name of the song?"
"Heart song, Lanzhou Hong."
"Who did it?"
Qin Mubai raised his eyes, looked at the party where Qin Shubao and the demon's spiritual position were placed, and said softly, "They."
