Guo Ziyi's goal was not Chang'an City, but to cross Niushou Mountain, bypass Luogu Pass, and run to Taibai Mountain in Qizhou. Although the Tubo people occupy Guanzhong, their foundation is on the plateau, so the Longyou who communicate with them is extremely important. His purpose was to pass through Qizhou and Longzhou, and do his best to sabotage the places where Longyou and Guannei Road must pass.

In this way, it will make the Tubo people in the customs feel like pins and needles, and the effect is not known how many times greater than the effect of attacking and harassing the vicinity of Chang'an.

The Shenwu army can travel through the mountains, and if the Tubo people also chase into the mountains, it will be in the hands of Guo Ziyi, who can use the complex terrain along the way to ambush, which will eventually cause the pursuers to suffer heavy losses.

Shang Xijie finally failed to chase into Niushou Mountain in person, in the face of the complex and changeable mountain, he chose to stop, but out of instinctive unwillingness, he still sent thousands of foot soldiers into the mountain to chase and suppress. On the way back to Chang'an, he suddenly realized that he had been stirred up by this insignificant Shenwu army, which really shouldn't be.

Even if a mere 1,000 or 2,000 people are hateful, how big a wave can they set off? I am afraid that they will not be able to defeat even a single county town, let alone Chang'an, which is garrisoned by 200,000 troops? If they do not beat the stones with eggs with their own strength, all they can get in the end is a catastrophe.

But the anger was to be vented after all, and on the way back, he disposed of several "inaction" county orders in a row, and passed their heads to nearby counties to wake up. As a result, the atmosphere in the counties of Guanzhong couldn't help but be tightened, and the hearts of the officials who had been slightly relieved were suspended again.

The plans of the vast majority of local officials are very practical, no matter which one is the son of heaven, officials need to manage the place, so as long as they are people with their tails between their legs, they can survive this turmoil. After Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie pacified the officials in various places through Li Chenghong's mouth, these people were also a little bolder. Guo Ziyi's ability to calmly pass through the boundaries of various counties is not unrelated to the local officials' hatred of the Tubo people, and he naturally sympathizes with the Shenwu army in the name of rebellion.

However, Shang Xijie's killing made the local officials realize that the Tubo people were not incapable of them, and one by one they began to be silent again.

In addition to Shang Xijie's department, another team that encountered the Shenwu army won a great victory, wounded the main general of the Tang army, and beheaded more than 1,000 people. After Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie got the report, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, in fact, he was jealous of the Shenwu Army, because he had seen the maverick of the Shenwu Army as early as the Tianbao period, and he thought in his heart that this was a force that was too much stronger than the Tang Dynasty border army.

Therefore, at the beginning of the contact, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie was still beating a drum in his heart, but now he tried a small knife and defeated the small attack of the Shenwu Army in one fell swoop, and he gradually reassured that at least the Shenwu Army was not as invincible as rumored. Since this is the case, he can also plan to storm Tongguan and other matters next.

However, the news that Shang Xijie brought back made him feel that there was some fly in the ointment, and he always felt a little uneasy to drive the Shenwu army, which had been the size of a thousand people, to the west.

"The land of Qinlong is the key to the plateau, and it must not be taken lightly, it is not enough to send thousands of people to pursue. ”

Shang Xijie gasped, at first he only thought that the Shenwu army was fleeing to Shannan West Road in embarrassment to avoid the edge of the Tubo army. At this moment, after being reminded by the prime minister, he suddenly found that his thinking was simple, it turned out that this Shenwu army did not escape in embarrassment, but had planned to enter the land of Qinlong from the beginning. Thinking of this, Shang Xijie felt a deep sense of humiliation and anger after being teased. He is a general who annihilates the enemy and destroys the country at every turn, but now he is being played by the nameless Xiaoxiao in the Shenwu Army, and his anger can be imagined.

Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie slowly walked to Shang Xijie's side and pressed his hand on his shoulder.

"The Tang people have a good saying, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, not to mention that you are not defeated today, but the regret is that you let go of more than a thousand Shenwu troops. They trekked through mountains and rivers, climbed over Niushou Mountain and Taibai Mountain, and even when they arrived in Qinlong, they were tired of the veterans, so you only need to make the local soldiers and horses stay behind and wait for the rabbits, wouldn't it be able to do it once and for all?"

"What the prime minister said is extremely true, the Shenwu army has crossed the mountains and mountains, and naturally it can't outrun the herald messenger of the last general!"

Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie nodded.

"Yes, this matter must be implemented as soon as possible, and there can be no more delays, sometimes a moment of difference may be a difference between victory and defeat......"

Shang Xi has always been happy and convinced of this Tibetan minister, but at this moment, he is even more heartbroken, and he left in a hurry after agreeing.

Looking at Shang Xijie's back gradually moving away, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie always felt that the dark cloud in his heart was still entangled, and this meaning of the dark cloud was obviously not caused by Shang Xijie's episode, and where was the root? He couldn't tell for a while. Could it be that Yu Chaoen and Li Chenghong have been brushing together for the past few days? According to expectations, they should fight to the death at this time!

"Report, report ......"

A retinue rushed in panting.

"Yu Chaoen was killed, and the head of the eunuch has been hung high in the East City!"

"You, you say it again, who was killed?"

"It's the eunuch who holds the Divine Ce Army, Yu Chaoen!"

When he boarded, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie only felt that his head was buzzing, and his body shook a few times so that he didn't fall. The entourage on the side hurriedly came to help, but he shook it off and walked around the hall twice quickly.

Although he didn't say a word more, everyone could see that the killing intent had been born under the undisguised anger of the Great Minister. But after turning around for two circles, Ma Xiangzhong Bajie's face gradually calmed down again, and after two more turns, he slowly called the scribe who was in charge of writing Jun's life, and asked him to write a letter to ask Li Chenghong about the details of killing Yu Chaoen.

This letter was quickly placed on Li Chenghong's desk, and he had been worried about Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie's reaction, but now he only got an inquiring letter, and the wording was still very gentle, so he couldn't help but be convinced by Du Qianyun's previous chiseled assertions.

"Sir, look, this is the words of the Great Minister, I, how should I reply?"

Du Qianyun already had a bottom in his heart, so he calmly replied:

"How Your Majesty explains to the government and the opposition, how to explain to Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie!"

Li Chenghong was still a little hesitant.

"W-is this appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate? Since Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie can endure the anger for a while, he must have already weighed the pros and cons. No matter what kind of reply His Majesty gave, as long as it is not too outrageous, he will pinch his nose and admit it. ”

Li Chenghong did what he said, and sure enough, he was quickly praised by Ma Xiangzhong Bajie, calling it a harm for the people of Chang'an.

At this point, Li Chenghong still felt like in a dream, and he couldn't imagine that the aggressive Tubo Prime Minister who held the power of life and death in Chang'an actually compromised with him.

"Sir, it's really my Kong Mingye!"

His admiration for Du Qianyun was not concealed. But Du Qianyun said:

"The reason why Your Majesty was able to win this sentence is all due to the situation, if it weren't for the great pressure on the Tubo people caused by the Shenwu Army in Tongguan and Feng Yijun, Your Majesty is only afraid that a catastrophe is coming at this moment!"

Hearing this, Li Chenghong couldn't help but feel weak again.

"Ah, if the situation is over, and the prime minister has no worries, I, how can I deal with myself?"

He almost said that he would be liquidated by Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie, but he finally didn't say it because of his face.

Du Qianyun smiled bitterly:

"If the situation is over, Your Majesty is still in the hands of the Tubo people, and it doesn't matter if the Son of Heaven doesn't do it!"

This is a bit heavy, Li Chenghong was originally just uneasy, but now he is so frightened that the six gods have no master, and when he thinks that he may be retaliated by Ma Xiangzhong Bajie in the future, his heart is churning like a pot, and all kinds of thoughts are rushing up.

"Sir must have a clever plan on both sides, I know, I know......"

Du Qianyun paused for a moment and said word by word:

"Your Majesty, it's time to meet Tubo Zampu!"

"To see him?"

"If you can't go to see it in person, you will be suspicious of Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie, and the villain is willing to go on behalf of His Majesty!"

As long as Du Qianyun still has something to say, Li Chenghong's heart will settle down a little, and he straightens up and slams at Du Qianyun.

"Please, sir!"

On that day, Li Chenghong's nephew Trisong Detsen secretly stuffed a note in his hand, with only four words on it, "Uncle help me."

After Li Chenghong returned to the Tenth Prince's Mansion, he was so frightened that he hurriedly burned the note, and he couldn't protect himself, so why should he help his nephew, who was also a puppet? Now that Du Qianyun suddenly mentioned this matter, the matter of Tri Song Dezan secretly passing the note also appeared in front of him, and he told the matter concisely and concisely, and Du Qianyun slapped his thigh excitedly.

"That being the case, it saves the effort of the villain. Your Majesty, don't look at him as just a teenager, but sooner or later he will not be a thing in the pool!"

The implication is that Trisong Detsen is likely to become the Zampu who monopolizes the power of Tibet.

"Really?"

Li Chenghong was overjoyed, if there was a nephew who was Zampu and thought that he was an Austrian aid, even if he couldn't stay in Chang'an, it would be a big deal to go to Tubo to defect......

However, his dream was only halfway fulfilled when he was splashed with cold water by Du Qianyun.

"I'm afraid it's not my Tang Dynasty's blessing, if Your Majesty rules the world, sooner or later there will be a battle with it!"

"Could it be that my nephew will turn his back?"

Li Chenghong's first reaction was to find it difficult to accept his nephew's rebellion, and then happily continued to ask:

"Sir, I think I can rule the world?"

Compared with such a trivial matter as a nephew and uncle, being in charge of the world is naturally Li Chenghong's greatest concern.

However, Du Qianyun's face showed an unfathomable smile, and he was silent before he said slowly:

"It is up to man to make things happen, whether His Majesty belongs to the mandate of heaven or not can only be decided by God!"

As the Son of Heaven, Li Chenghong's mood changed in an instant, from apprehension to excitement in the blink of an eye, Du Qianyun couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
