King of Song

Chapter 577 Chapter [-] The Song Dynasty Was Very Generous

Stand still!

Qing Yijie Guizhang is a cautious person, and if he doesn't know Lin Zhao's intentions, he really can't act rashly.

If you don't move, you may lose the opportunity, but it will not cause any serious losses.Lin Zhao was full of tricks, who knew what he was thinking, the Song Dynasty wanted to fight with Xixia, but did it have to stop the war with Tubo?

No one knows what trick Lin Zhao has, he has even opened his pockets, waiting for the Tubo army to sneak in.

Let's focus on defense!
Qing Yi has a kind of intuition that the Song Dynasty will never give up Hehuang easily, and Lin Zhao must have some schemes.But right now it's cold and snowy, even if he has any ideas, he can't do anything for the time being.

What worries me the most right now is these two princes, who wonders if something will happen.

Guizhang is out of caution, but in Lin Bubi's eyes, it's not the case.

Strengthening the defense and holding back the troops is in fact opposed to Lin Bubi's proposal to send troops to jointly attack the Song Dynasty with Xixia!Lin Bubi doesn't know, and has no way to judge Qing Yi's original intention of forming a ghost chapter. All he sees is the result.

Unexpectedly, Guizhang also stood by Aligu's side, why did this happen?Is he just a spineless prisoner?He's just an adopted son. Why do his father and Gui Zhang trust him so much and favor him?
Perhaps it was because he was not very smart since he was a child, and everyone including Dong Zhan had some opinions on Lin Bubi, so that he was a little paranoid in his heart.This kind of depression continues to ferment, and when he grows up, he tries hard to perform well and get everyone's approval.

But it's a pity that the effect is very poor, the father is still indifferent to himself, but treats his adoptive son with grace.Sometimes, Lin Bubi even wondered, who is his real son?In this era of the world, the royal blood of the direct descendants has an innate priority, which is what Lin Bubi is most proud of.

As a result, the reality is that this priority has been ruthlessly crushed, and it has become more and more worthless from the beginning, and Lin Bubi feels very wronged.Especially even a neutral courtier like Guizhang was on the side of Ali Gu.The balance of the battle for the crown prince has tilted, and Lin Bubi feels that his hope is getting slimmer.

Stimulated by the sense of crisis, the injustice in my heart became more and more intense.Especially this point, he felt that there was nothing wrong with the proposal of joining forces with Xixia to deal with the Song Dynasty.

It's a pity that no one approves of it, no one supports it.Lin Bubi felt that he had become a loner.The more this is the case, the more important the foreign aid of Xixia is, and it must not be lost.

Originally, Dong Zhan came back after Aligu and wanted to hold a family banquet, but Lin Bubi didn't want to save face, so he found a very blunt excuse to decline.As a result, the result is naturally unhappy.

"Duoji, am I wrong?" After everyone left, Dong felt left Dorji behind.There are some things he doesn't say to others coldly, and he can only share one or two with the closest counselors.

"Zanpu means Prince Lin Bubi?"

Dong felt nodded and said, "Did you see his figure when he left? There was clearly resentment in his eyes."

"It's understandable, but now that the enemy is at hand, the prince can only be wronged."

"It's right to think about the overall situation. It stands to reason that Lin Bubi should do the same, shake hands with Ali Gu and make peace, and work together." Dong felt a long sigh, shook his head and said: "It's just looking at it now, I'm afraid it won't work... But I can’t blame it, sometimes I really wonder if it’s not fair to him.”

"Zanpu is well-intentioned!" Duoji could only listen to Zanpu's confession in silence, and he could not express too clear opinions on some things.

"I thought that Aligu would not come back, so I had to make the only choice. I don't have to worry about it anymore. I didn't expect him to come back again. This child is not bad, and Mrs. Tai also likes it, but I have to consider the so-called overall situation... ...But I gradually found that things seemed to be getting worse.

Perhaps it was because of my hesitation that the greater the estrangement between the brothers, the greater the conflict, and the relationship between the two children and me became weaker and weaker..."

The heights are extremely cold, and while the emperor's family pays attention to inheritance and interests, the family relationship will inevitably be damaged.Dong Zhan was also a victim. Who would have thought that the dignified Tubo Zanpu would almost shed tears when talking about these things?
"Zanpu, this is the end of the matter, so don't be sad. When you get over the tension, get close to the princes. They will gradually understand your difficulties." Duoji pondered for a while, and boldly said: "But One point, you'd better make a decision about the position reserve early, so as not to have long nights and dreams, and extra troubles will arise."

"Okay, but after all, I have to feel sorry for a certain child!" Dong felt also very helpless, since this is the emperor's home.Whether it is the royal family in the Central Plains or Zanpu in Tubo, they all have to face such problems.Family affection is always no match for the so-called overall situation.

Of course, all Dong Zhi's considerations were based on solving this trouble.

The people of the Song Dynasty cooperated very well. It didn't take long for the envoys of the Song Dynasty to come and formally start the truce and peace talks.

In this regard, Aligu was slightly relieved. It seemed that Lin Zhao really wanted to stop the war.But don't take it lightly, maybe it's a trick.

These days, there is no liability for compensation for tearing up the peace treaty, and it is almost commonplace.Throughout the ages, there has been a lot of procrastination on the surface of peace talks, and there have been many cases of breaking the contract and sending troops behind the scenes.

Lin Bubi was not very happy either. If the matter was indeed true, it would prove that Aligu's judgment was correct.If Tubo really agrees, then his plan to unite with the Xixia people will be completely ruined.Therefore, he does not hope that the peace talks will be successful.

Therefore, from the very beginning, they made things difficult for the people of the Song Dynasty!
Returning the lost land is a crucial first point.The people of the Song Dynasty readily stated that the niche could be returned to Tubo.

Lin Bubi demanded that the Song Dynasty also hand over Hezhou!Mu Zheng naturally had such expectations, even though he knew that he would never have the chance to become the Lord of Hezhou again.But in comparison, it is better to merge into Hehuang than to fall into the hands of the Song Dynasty.Anyway, it's my own family, so the fat and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders!

But for this request, the envoys of the Song Dynasty did not agree, and returning the niche is the bottom line.After all, Hezhou did not actually belong to Hehuang Tubo before, and now it has been merged into Dasong Xihe Road.This matter was announced to the whole world by the Emperor of Song Dynasty offering sacrifices to the Heaven and Earth Ancestral Temple.If Hezhou is lost, it will be a cession of land, but it will be a loss of power and humiliation of the country.

Song Dynasty would never agree to this kind of thing. The envoys of Song Dynasty acted tough and rejected the Tubo people for this reason.

When the conditions were raised, it was up to the Tubo people how to answer them.

Ali Gu expressed his approval. Although the time of being captured was not very long, Lin Bubi's encroachment on him was not small, so that the strength of his men was not strong.Aligu is just wanting to take this opportunity to clean up the interior and stabilize his foundation. He doesn't want to start a war in such a special period, which will not do him any good.

Qing Yi has always been more cautious about knotting a ghost chapter. First of all, he also questioned this matter. It is hard to say whether the people of Song Dynasty were sincere about peace talks.If it is true, it would be a good idea to get the niche back. It is really difficult for the people of the Song Dynasty to give up their interests in Hezhou.

If this is a conspiracy by the people of the Song Dynasty, then don't expect too much, it will take a lot of effort to keep Qingtang City.So there is nothing to be picky about, this condition can be agreed.In this process, every move of the Song Dynasty people was detected, and then a long-term plan was made.

But Lin Bubi expressed a different opinion. He said: "If we want to go back to Kangu this time and not Hezhou, then it is tantamount to acknowledging the Song Dynasty's ownership of Hezhou, and such a large piece of land will never belong to it. We. It will not be easy to come back in the future. Hezhou is the gate of Hehuang, how can we give up so easily?"

These words seem to be reasonable, but Ali Gu objected: "People in the Song Dynasty still control the niche valley. If we disagree and insist on going to war, the situation will not do us much good. Why don't we just take a step and see if it is not right? Take it first." We went back to Kangu, and waited for the people of the Song Dynasty and Xixia to lose each other, and then we sent troops to look for an opportunity to take back Hezhou in one fell swoop.

Best of all, in the northwest land, our strength can surpass the Song Dynasty and Xixia, occupy the first place, and dominate one side! "

In fact, there is no difference in fundamental attitudes between Ali Gu and Lin Bubi. They both want to take a bite out of the Song Dynasty. The difference lies in how they treat Xixia.If you think about it carefully, Ali Gu's idea seems to be correct.It is common to reap the benefits of fishermen.

Lin Bubi didn't think so. He felt that this matter was risky, and in fact it would harm his interests, so he naturally insisted.

Through this incident, Qing Yijie Guizhang has clearly realized that the Song Dynasty is a giant, once he gets serious, it will be a great threat to Tubo and Xixia.In the past, the days when Tubo had been helping the Song Dynasty to pull Xixia's hind legs should be over. Xixia and Tubo had a bitter relationship.

It's okay to let Xixia consume it first, but you can't completely reap the benefits of the fisherman.When necessary, we still have to join forces with Xixia, and a delicate balance must be maintained among the three kingdoms.After all, Hehuang Tubo is the weakest among them, and it is really not easy to survive safely in the cracks.

So what Ali Gu and Lin Bubi said has some truth, but they both have selfishness for each other, which is really troublesome.Qing Yijie Guizhang didn't think much about this point, what he cared about was Nigu, and at the same time, he also had a deep worry.

People in the Song Dynasty took the initiative to return the land, don't they?That's not acceptable, and there must be no obvious excuses or excuses to let the people of the Song Dynasty occupy the land in a legitimate way.

The land of niches and valleys must be regained!It's just that whether the Song Dynasty is sincere about this matter is too difficult to judge, which means that there are risks involved.

That is the division of troops!
To recover the niche valley, even if the people of the Song Dynasty took the initiative to hand it back, Tubo would send a large army to garrison it.In this way, the strength of Qingtang City will be weakened.The military strength of the entire Tubo is not very sufficient, and it is scattered in various places in this way, so it is easy to be defeated one by one.

Aligu is most worried about this problem!

"Just send scouts to investigate first. If the Song people have a large-scale army mobilization, it will be difficult to cover it up."

When Qingyi knotted a ghost and expressed his worries, the two princes unexpectedly agreed with each other.They believed that it would be difficult for the Song army to mobilize on a large scale during the winter and the days of heavy snowfall.The snow outside is almost a foot thick now, and it will melt until next spring.

Most of the Song army came from warm places in the Central Plains, where they could withstand the severe cold in the northwest. From the perspective of weather, the Song army really did not have the conditions and possibility to send troops.

As for peace, the Song army is already fighting on two fronts. Could it be possible that they will go to war with a third country?Whether it was Ali Gu or Lin Bubi, they all confirmed that the Song Army did intend to cease fighting.

"If you want to be on the safe side, Lin Zhao is full of tricks, and he has always been slanted. The last time he was able to detour so far to attack Nigu was an example, so we have to guard against it!" Qing Yijie Guizhang was always cautious.

"That's right, it's better to be more cautious!" It was because of this that he won Zanpu Dongzhi's trust.At critical moments, trust him so much.

Just mentioning Lin Zhao rushing to attack Nigu, Aligu felt a little uncomfortable.It was his scar, which made him very embarrassed, and he didn't want others to mention it easily.Qing Yi Jie Guizhang uses this as an example, does it have any other meaning?Ali would subconsciously think so.

"Then what should we do? Is it possible to give up Nigu?" Lin Bubi was very displeased.

Ali Gu said: "There is a way. While investigating the Song Army's movements, we also asked the Song Army in Nigu to transfer most of them first, and then it will be much smoother when we take over."

"We can try it and see if the people of the Song Dynasty agree? If they withdraw from the niche, they will definitely strengthen the defense of Tabai City." Qing Yijie Guizhang did not object.

Naturally, the people of the Song Dynasty did not object, and the envoys of the Song Army readily agreed, and said that they would immediately send someone back to summon the army, and asked the army to be transferred, leaving only a few soldiers to hand over and change defenses with Tubo!

Lin Bubi and Ali Gu were very happy about this, but it became a problem who would take over the niche.

Nigu is very important to Tubo. If it can control here, it can basically control many tribes and troops in the east.At the same time, both of their princes had the intention to take the opportunity to attack the Song Dynasty. Whoever was in the niche could send troops conveniently.Whether it is credit and benefits, there is a big difference.

In the past, Qingyi was guarded by Guizhang, but it was Zanpu who called the name himself, and they had nothing to say.But it's different now, Guizhang is in charge of guarding Qingtang City, he can't go back to Kangu, and he's too embarrassed to go back.It happened to be the stage when Ali Gu and Lin Bubi brothers were fiercely competing for the right to guard a large camp.

Both of them were fighting for their reasons, and one was more reasonable than the other.Not giving in to each other, no one is willing to give up.

Dong felt very helpless, but Qing Yijie Guizhang was very worried.Nigu is so important, but Song Jun makes it so easy, the more so, the more disturbing it is!
