Chapter 490 Immortal

The garqinling annihilated the enemy and captured the enemy's chieftain and returned. The royal city cheered all over the wild, and at the same time, the group was passionate and resentful. Whether it is princes and nobles or ordinary children, they all come to see and see with their own eyes what the legendary "killing demon" Hou Junji looks like.

Hou Junji was tied back and sat on the saddle. His eyes were cold. He looked indifferently at the group of Tubo people who scolded loudly and shouted well in front of him, as if he were walking around.

Garqinling rode next to him, looked sideways at him, and said with a smile, "General Hou, how does it feel to be spurned and cursed by all the people?"

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

Gerqinling frowned slightly, "Have you thought about how you will die?"

"This kind of nerve-wracking question should be up to you. What am I worried about?" Hou Junji continued to sneer, "Anyway, as long as I live for a day, you will serve me. First of all, let's make it clear that you don't eat good wine and meat. If you starve to death, all your wishes will fail.

Garqinling gritted his teeth, turned his head and stopped talking to Hou Junji. He secretly said in his heart: This Hou Junji seems to be brave, but in fact, he still has a little city government and foresight. Unfortunately, due to his personality, if he wants to play in the court, he must be far from the opponent of Changsun Wuji and Qin Mubai. Earlier, he was excluded by Changsun Wuji, and now he is used and abandoned by Qin Mubai... If this person was born on the plateau, he must be my strong arm! Because in the temple of my Tubo Dynasty, there are not as many intrigues and intrigues as Tang Yan, relying on strength!

Before the king's city, there were people all over the mountain, and the army of the Chalqin Mausoleum stopped a way and prepared to enter the city. The anger of the people on both sides gradually rose. Many people shouted that they wanted to tear Hou Junji into pieces and swallow it in one bite, and more people tried their best to rush in and rushed to Hou Junji. There are also some radical Tubo people who walked next to Hou Junji and threw stones at Hou Junji regardless of the Qiong Mausoleum. Annoyed the Chalqin Mausoleum, he ordered to draw a knife to intimidate and arrest several radical people, and the turbulent crowd calmed down slightly.

Finally, he entered the royal city. The Garqin Mausoleum asked the sergeant to hold Hou Jun to be imprisoned in a secret room. He strictly guarded that no one was allowed to approach, and that wine and meat should be supplied, and asked the medical officer to treat Hou Junji's wounds.

Gar Qinling personally waved his knife, cut off 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 hot shower and change into new clothes. A little bit of careless, I hit my head against the wall!"

The Tubo sergeants who took care of him were all so angry that they blushed and had thick necks, and the marshal did not dare to disoeud, so they swallowed their resentment into their stomachs.

I went to see Zanpu at the Chalqin Mausoleum.

When Qizong saw the Garqinling, he smiled and took a long breath. He came forward to catch him and said, "Qinling, we won't say a word of thanks between you and my brothers. In a word... This country can be praised without my abandonment, but it can never be without you, Garqin Mausoleum!"

"The words are heavy." Gar Qinling sighed, gritted his teeth and frowned, and said, "I have ten thousand reasons to kill Hou Junji. Really, I really want to bite every piece of his meat, and I can swallow it without drinking water. But Zamp doesn't want him to die, so I can't kill him.

"The whole world misunderstands Qinling, and only think that Qinling is domineering and arrogant. Only I know that Qinling always put the country first in his heart, and I, a useless Zamp brother, are in his heart. Abandoned Zong also smiled bitterly. Lagar Qinling sat down and filled the wine for him and said, "Please drink this cup full. I'm grateful to you!"

"Thank you, brother!" In a sip of garqinling, he took a deep breath and said, "Brother, what are you going to do next?"

"Li Shimin has ordered to fight against me with all his strength. Qin Mubai led 400,000 troops to counterattack the plateau and pressed forward step by step. At this moment, the enemy is strong and we are weak and the situation is critical. Qi Zong praised and frowned, "However, the Han people have always been deeply concerned about power, and at any time they think more about interests. In fact, even if they conquer the plateau, they may not really benefit much. The war consumes a lot of national strength, and many troubles after the war are enough to haunt the Tang Dynasty for ten years. It is impossible for Li Shimin or those ministers not to consider these - that is to say, Li Shimin has a tough attitude on the surface, and he is also very hesitant in his heart. He has been calculating whether this war is cost-effective or not. This also means that the peace alliance is not completely impossible.

Gar Qinling nodded indifferently and said, "As my brother said, now that the war has not fully broke out, and it is the last time for the peace alliance. Once Qin Mubai waved his master to the plateau, the arrow from the string had to be fired, and the last chance of the League was gone. It is true that I have always been against some kind of covenant, but... out of respect for Zamp, I can't go my own way. It may be good to try other strategies and diplomatic means of governing the country. In the eyes, even if it is a respite opportunity to win ten or twenty years, it is good.

Abandoned Zong smiled with relief and nodded, "Thank you, Qinling. You study Sinology and are familiar with the Han people. You should know that when they are forced to kill by foreign enemies, they will firmly fight with the outside world. As soon as the four seas are flat and there are no external problems, they will catch each other and fight against each other and have internal worries. In the current Tang Dynasty, it seems that the soldiers and horses are strong in the world, but in fact, the internal worries are also quite serious. Li Shimin's sons are almost all adults. Not long ago, Prince Chengqian was abolished, and now the East Palace has been vacant. This is his real trouble. At this time, we should not disturb him. We should let a group of people in the court fight to the death and make Li Shimin exhausted. Taking this opportunity, we just take a rest and recuperate, and can get a lot of things from the Tang Dynasty - metaphor for resources such as money, grain, cloth and tea, iron smelting, weaving, planting, pottery and many cultural essences, which require us to spend many years to learn and apply.

"Yes." The Chalqin Mausoleum nodded decisively and said, "I have to admit that the Tang Dynasty has a brilliant civilization beyond our reach. The deeper I study Sinology, the more I feel that I am ignorant and shallow. Before, I always thought that we should take advantage of our national strength to defeat the Tang Dynasty and take all these things. Now I understand that Zamp is right. The current Tang Dynasty is indeed unmatched. But he is not invincible - the opportunity to win may lie in what Zanpugang said, when their internal worries broke out!"

"Hmm!" Qi Zong nodded with a smile and relief again, and said, "Qinling, you are still the one in those years, my flesh and blood brother and true bosom friend. However, I want to know that your attitude was quite tough when you led the army to war yesterday. Why did you suddenly change your attitude today?

"Because of Hou Junji." The garchinling frowned and said, "It's him who changed my view of the Han people, changed my understanding of the current situation, and shook the eternal... belief in my heart!"

"Why?" Abandoned Zong asked in surprise.

Gar Qinling picked up a glass of wine, frowned and meditated, and said, "I have been in the army for 20 years. I have never met a general like Hou Junji, nor have I met such an army brought out by him. Brother, do you know that although we have won this battle, we can't win it. I have carefully checked that every Tang soldier has no less than ten injuries - and they are not light. Before the fierce battle, at least 10,000 of the more than 20,000 Tang troops should not be seriously injured, including Hou Junji. However, they all fought to the end. There was no deserter, no prisoner except Hou Junji, and even no corpses with sound limbs... This is really terrible! It's Hou Junji, it's this army that let me see the terrible power in the Han people!"

Abandoned Zong's face changed slightly! - I've known the garqinling for so many years, and it's almost the first time I've heard him say the word 'terrible'!

"I once thought that our Tubo nation was the most brave nation in the world, the most loyal, brave and fearless nation. But compared with Hou Junji and his army, we are just brave. The frown of garqinling was deeply locked, and his eyes were also quite cold. He said, "The power shown by Hou Junji and his sergeants seems to be beyond human power itself. Once I was puzzled, what made them overcome the human fear of the death instinct, what made them exceed the limit of injuries that the human body can bear... Now I understand."

"What is it?"

"Faith." The face of the garqinling darkened and said, "It is the Han people in the Central Plains. After thousands of years of accumulated culture and education, they have a strong spiritual strength that ordinary people do not have. In fact, in terms of physique, strength, equestrianism, archery and fighting skills alone, our Tubo army is indeed invincible. But... we lack faith, or no faith. The reason why our sergeants fight hard is to be rewarded after the war or afraid of the punishment of defeat. For a moment, these can arouse the combat effectiveness of the army, and the Han army can't beat us. But... If it really arouses the fighting spirit of the Han people, the belief in their hearts will turn into an extremely horrible force, making them all become crazy fighters like demon gods, almost invincible - just like this army gathered by Hou Jun!"

"So, we should pursue and erect our Taoism as soon as possible!" Qi Zong praised with a punch on the table and said in a low voice, "A country can't govern the country for a long time by war horses and machetes alone. You must have your own Taoism to teach the people and to insect future generations. Only the education of Taoism can truly subdue people's hearts and the country be long-term and peaceful. Qinling, I have discussed with you many times about legalism and Confucianism in Sinology. You always think that the French rule of the country is the best way to enrich the country and strengthen the army. I agree with this, and the facts also prove that you have indeed done it. In just a few years, the troops of the Tibet Empire were strong, and our army was invincible. However, if you want to pursue long-term stability and real prosperity, you still need to clean up people's hearts. With the intimidation and sanctions of severe laws and the expansion of the military and the military to plunder, it can only be a short time, not a long-term solution!"

"Oh...!" Kar Qinling sighed and shook his head, "I'm too anxious. Now, it's time to put down and ask for peace with the Tang Dynasty and learn from the teacher. The only thing I worry about now is that the hatred between the two sides is too deep, and the Tang Dynasty may not be so easy to accept the peace alliance. And... there is the biggest obstacle in front of us!"

"You mean, Qin Mubai?"

"Yes."

Abandoned Zong Praise for a moment, smiled slightly and said, "Qinling, have you ever thought that Qin Mubai is actually very similar to you?"

Gar Qinling was stunned and said indifferently, "Maybe!"

"In fact, he is also a rare talent. If you get on the horse, you can command thousands of troops, and if you get off the horse, you can go through Guo Anbang. Qi Zong praised and said, "Qin Mubai is not an ordinary general. Otherwise, with Li Shimin's ability to know people and the depth of the emperor's skills, it is impossible to send him to Lanzhou to take the lead alone. The implication is that Qin Mubai now seems to be just a commander-in-chief on the surface, but in fact he has the ability to influence the major national policies of the imperial court. Moreover, we have already seen it, haven't we? - Hou Junji, isn't it a man-eating warcraft he released? The purpose is nothing more than to stimulate the contradictions between the people and ethnic groups, so that the two countries can completely break up, and the war will be completely unreparable? He has always been a tough main war faction!"

"Brother means that you still have to tie the bell to untied? If you want to be in the alliance, do you have to convince Qin Mubai first? The Chalqin Mausoleum said.

"Not bad." Qizong nodded, "I know it's difficult, it's quite difficult. But if you try, you may not succeed. If you don't try, you won't have a chance. And have you ever thought about why Qin Mubai is such a tough main battle? Is it only influenced by his father Qin Shubao?

"I thought about it..." garqinling said, "Qin Mubai is not only a general, but also a politician. What he thinks more about should be his political future. As far as I know, Qin Mubai and Li Ke, the king of Wu, have the closest, and the relationship between Li Tai, the king of Wei, who is most likely to be crowned, and Li Zhi, the king of Jin, is average. If Li Tai and Li Zhi succeed to the throne, they must be a king of Shoucheng. It's useless to have people like Qin Mubai. Therefore, I guess that Qin Mubai wants to turn the tide and change the fate of himself and Li Ke, and use unparalleled military achievements and prestige to support Li Ke to come to power to ensure that he will always stand in the next few decades!"

"A hit the nail on the head!" Qi Zong praised, "So, if you want to convince Qin Mubai, you have to start with Li Ke first - Coincidentally, Li Ke is now in Qin Mubai's army as a supervisor! Hou Junji is Qin Mubai's confidant, but in the eyes of the court, it is a great rebellion. Therefore, we can't kill Hou Junji. The enemy of the enemy is our friend, which can be fully exploited. Hou Junji is very important, and he must make a big fuss about him!"

"Oh?" Kar Qinling was shocked, "Is your brother already confident?"

"No..." Abandoned Zong shook his head. "I just want to have a try first. Li Ke's position is the imperial court, which is different from Qin Mubai, the military commander. No matter how close the relationship between the two of them is, in the face of such a big right and wrong, the opposite is still the opposite. Therefore, as long as we are willing to pay tribute and pay tribute sincerely, this is beneficial and harmless to the Tang court. As the mouthpiece of the court, Li Ke has no reason to refuse our invitation. Han people all want face to die. They advocate that peace is the most important thing, and it is the best strategy to subduing people's soldiers without fighting. We Tubo people don't like the Han people who like to suffer from false fame. If we are a minister, we will be a minister. If we pay tribute, we will pay tribute. What does it matter? After ten or twenty years, we will be strong, and they will be in civil strife. Whether it is fame or benefits, they can all recover their shame. In the history of the Han people, isn't there an allusion to the king of Yue Goujian lying on firewood and tasting gall? - And I estimate that the Tang Dynasty, who claims to be the richest in the world, will accept our surrender and submission, but will not ask for our tribute at all; not only will he not, but also send princesses and relatives according to the previous agreement, and give a considerable companion. Marry. This is their character! - Qinling, do you think this kind of business is cost-effective?

"It's still my brother." Ghar Qinling smiled and said, "It's just that my brother may be cursed and wronged at that time."

"It doesn't matter!" Qizong laughed and said, "Even if you want me to praise Chang'an to be a hostage, it's okay. We created the Tubo country together. While enjoying wealth, we must also take responsibility for this country, right? Compared with those warriors who died on the battlefield, what am I? In addition, I went to Chang'an, and you can stay here to assist my son. As I said, Tubo can be praised without my Abandoned Zong, but absolutely not without the Garqin Mausoleum! - As long as the Qin Mausoleum is still there, Tubo will definitely be a magnificent day! What I said to you today can also be regarded as a orphan! If I really go to Chang'an that day, I will definitely not come back. You can think I'm dead. Tubo, it's all up to you!"

Garqinling trembled all over, stared at the abandoned emperor and raised his glass, "Brother, I respect you!"

"The heart of Xingfan is immortal, and the heart of Tang is immortal!" Qizong raised his glass and said, "Qinling, no matter what happens tomorrow, will our brothers still be together? Please remember this sentence! - Ten years, twenty years, or even a hundred years, I hope that one day there will be our people who will put the totem flag of Tibet on the top of the imperial city of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty!"

"The heart of Xingfan is immortal, and the heart of Tang is immortal! - Cheers!"
