Gong Ren respectfully obeyed, but seeing that there was still unfinished meaning in his father's eyes, he was not in a hurry to withdraw and continued to wait patiently.

"If you can break through Longyou, there will be fewer voices in the country."

Qinling muttered that although today's Tubo dominates the plateau, its background is really shallow, and it cannot be like the relatively pure strategic trade-offs of the Tang State in considering the border defense issue, and the gains of the war are more or less an important reason.

Since the battle of Dafeichuan in the old year, Tubo and Tang have launched several major wars around Tuyuhun's hometown, although Tubo has shown its superiority in several wars, but it only consolidated the rule of Tuyuhun's hometown, but it has not really entered the Tang Longyou, which is full of rich wealth.

Tuyuhun's hometown is the basis for the Gar family to gain a foothold in the country and hold power, of course, Qinling will not share it with others, how to hunt enough harvest from the battlefield to give back to the country, is also a problem he must consider.

Although the Tang army suffered several defeats in Qinghai, Changzhi, the black tooth who guarded the source of the river, was a difficult opponent. Qinling also organized several attacks against Chiling, but most of them ended in failure, and the progress was really limited.

Even after several conflicts, whenever the Tang general Hei Tooth Changzhi appeared on the battlefield, the soldiers subconsciously retreated to avoid the battle.

But if the young king of the Tang Kingdom urged Heizhi Changzhi to take the initiative to fight because he was thirsty for military merits, and then the favorable terrain around Qinghai and the residual morale accumulated from several big victories, Qinling was still sure to defeat Heizhi Changzhi near Qinghai.

However, before going to war, Qinling also needed to coordinate the forces at his disposal.

Zampu is gradually coming of age, and since a few years ago, he has personally attended the assembly of the council in the presiding country, and the Wuru armor soldiers who were originally represented by the Great Treatise have gradually withdrawn. Nowadays, Qinling can control fewer and fewer of its own men and horses, and they are scattered in several large battlefields such as Tuyuhun, Zhangxiong, Western Regions and Shannan, and there are only more than 20,000 armor soldiers left in the Tuyuhun realm.

In addition, there are also some tribal private armor soldiers attached to the Gar family, and this part of the army is also worth more than 20,000 troops. But these tribes are more sensitive to the trade-offs, and if they don't have enough benefits, it's hard to move them to go all-in.

But if they were to defeat the Black Tooth Changzhi, rush out of Chiling, and sack the Longyou of the Tang State as the reason, Qinling believed that they would also have the courage to participate in the war. This part of the armor soldiers may not have pure morale, but their combat effectiveness still exceeds those of the Hu minions.

As for the rest, there are a large number of Hu servant troops, mainly the remnants of Bailanqiang and Tuyuhun. In particular, the remnants of Tuyuhun are scattered around Qinghai with tens of thousands of people, and once they are integrated, this is an army of more than 100,000 people.

Although in recent years, due to frequent wars, the remnants of Tuyuhun are very afraid of war, and there are even several escapes every year. However, these Tuyuhun remnants are already low in combat effectiveness, and even if riots are frequent, they can be controlled in time. Kill a group of the most ruthless troublemakers, and be able to settle for a long time.

Qinling was planning to gradually abandon the strongholds stationed around Chiling in order to induce the Tang army to cross Chiling in a big way.

Of course, it will take a certain amount of time for the Tang army to mobilize, after all, the two major defeats have already made the Tang army full of shadows for entering Qinghai to fight, even if there is any light morale, with the vast depth of Tuyuhun and the climate that the Tang army is not familiar with, it is enough to exhaust its morale.

Then, during this time, the withdrawn Tibetan army could be used to suppress the disturbance of the Tuyuhun remnants, and to make sure that these Tuyuhun remnants could be obedient before the official start of the war.

What really worries Qin Ling is the current situation in the country. The reason why he nodded and agreed to counterattack the four towns of Anxi in the direction of the Western Regions was to mislead the judgment of the Tang army, and secondly, to transfer part of the country's troops to prevent him from being unstable in the rear when he fought against the Tang army in Qinghai.

But doing so does not essentially solve the problem from the rear.

Even if Qinling already had a preliminary plan to lure the enemy, he didn't dare to say that he could easily defeat the Tang army, even if it was just Heyuan, he had to be prepared to deal with various variables, so he had to consider the issue of increasing troops in the country.

Now that the contradiction between Zampu and Da Lun in the country has become almost public, it is impossible for Zampu to continue to increase troops in Qinghai for Zampu, who is gradually regaining power. Even in order to get rid of the restrictions and influence of the Gar family, Zampu had the idea of abandoning the situation in the north of the Yajiang River and turning to the south.

The only way to get new aid is to choose allies. As the first power in Tibet, the Gar family originally had quite a lot of allies, but over the years, the allies of all parties have gradually decreased, and there is a faint situation of isolation.

Qin Ling was arrogant by nature, and he didn't care much about this before, and even disdained to be with the sheep, but now he had to consider this practical problem.

"You are not young anymore, I will write a marriage letter later, and you will take it back to China and propose to Yang Zhuoxue's family."

Hearing this, Gong Ren's expression suddenly became excited, and he couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice: "The wife that my father chose for me is Ye Ali of the Chen clan?" ”

After hearing this, Qin Ling bowed slightly, and when he saw that his son was so excited, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Ye Ali is the pearl of Jiangnan nourished by Yanghu, her father was Ye Ruruben, and her mother is Sun Bo Xiaowang, and she is still a state daughter of the Guren Sanbu, so she is naturally worthy of my son!" ”

Not only does it match, it's simply a high climb. Qin Ling wants to expand his alliance in the country through marriage, and the woman he chooses is naturally unlikely to be an ordinary family, just listening to this series of names, he knows that the woman named Ye Ali is extraordinary.

After Sun Bo was annexed, his royal family was in a miserable situation, his eldest king was expelled, the little king was killed, and only the Mo Nong clan, a branch of the royal family, was retained because of its in-law relationship with the former Zanpu Songtsen Gampo, and inherited the title of Xiao Wang Wang, which was Sun Boru's Ruben for generations.

Although today's Sun Boru is no longer the head of the woman, the old customs still exist, and today's Sun Bo Xiao Wang Mo Nong is the inner minister trusted by the queen mother and the Lu family, and she accompanies her all year round. Ye Ali is the heir of the Mo Nong clan, and it is very likely that she will inherit the throne of Sun Bo in the future.

However, compared with this little Wang's false name, Qin Ling attaches more importance to the woman's paternal origin.

The Chen clan was a deep-rooted clan in Tibet, and even before Tibet grew stronger, it was one of the lords of the twelve small states. With the formation of the Four Ru of Weizang, its leader became the upper Ruben of Yeru, and was one of the most powerful people in Tibet.

If an alliance can be reached with this marriage, it means that the allies of the Gar family will be expanded to important people in Shannan, and Zampu will have to think carefully about dealing with him again. Marrying a daughter of the Chen clan to his son, Qinling can directly affect two of the five Ru.

Gong Ren was naturally satisfied with the marriage partner that his father had chosen for him, which could be seen from his expression. But after the surprise, he couldn't help but suffer from gains and losses, and he was not lacking in apprehension: "There are more children in the country who want to marry Ye Ali than Luosa Sichuan cattle and sheep." Ye Ali is arrogant by nature, so he may not look down on me...... What's more, Ye Ali's father still died because of his father in the old year......"

Speaking of this, he glanced at his father, and there was no lack of complaint in his eyes.

Seeing this, Qin Ling was so angry with this son that his liver hurt, and he even doubted whether this decision was correct, and now that the marriage was not successful, this son was already going to complain about his father for the woman's grievances!

"Ye Ruru originally participated in the assassination of your uncle, and after I return to China, his death is inevitable. What's more, he didn't die in my hands, he was killed by the Queen Mother and Sun Bo Xiaowang! Even if Ye Ali hates me, she is a smart person, and her mother is worried that the Shannan tribe may use her to encroach on Sun Bo, and she has already not allowed this heir to return to Benru. The Wu Lu clan also wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Chen clan had no master to invade its subordinate states, and even sent his blood brothers to Zangru as sons-in-law, and was not allowed to lead his subordinates! ”

Qin Ling carefully analyzed his son: "Although Ye Ali is a noble girl admired by everyone, there are few people in the country who dare to marry such a troublemaker. But if she were to be the woman of my Gar family, and I could keep her safe and let her inherit the subordinate power of her parents, would she have a better choice? ”

"But, but if Ye Ali didn't really follow me, I would always feel that I had mistreated her......"

When Gong Ren heard his father's analysis, he smiled, but he was still a little apprehensive and couldn't bear to be abrupt.

Qin Ling simply ignored his son's nagging, the status of Tibetan women is not low, especially a noble background like Ye Ali, and his son admires and respects her, which is also a normal thing. But as long as you grow up, the longing for beautiful emotions in your youth will always be replaced by the various trade-offs of reality.

"The Queen Mother would certainly not approve of this marriage, but the marriage between the two clans did not need to take her very seriously. You can tell Sun Bo Xiao Wang, I only need one Dongdai in the south of Sun Bo Chuan, but I can divide the five Dongdai and 5,000 tents of the Bailan Department and the pasture to marry her daughter. ”

Qin Ling continued, and when he said this, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes. He can not do with all the dowries of the Chen family, but Sun Bochuan's Dongdai Manor must be accepted, because that is the root of their Gar family.

As the first powerful minister of Tubo, the Gar family is not only the old Shannan department of Tubo, but also not a big family with a long heritage on the plateau.

Such a low background also made the Gar family controversial, especially as they took power for a long time, the criticism became louder and louder. Qinling's elder brother Zan Xiruo, it was the nobles in the country who conspired to lure and discuss the return of the Gar family to Sun Bo's hometown, so he led a small number of troops to hurry to Sun Bo, and was ambushed halfway.

The burial of their ancestors on land that does not belong to them is an unspeakable secret of the Gar family, and it is also a big talk in the country that ridicules them for their humble origins. If there is an opportunity, of course, Qinling will take back this land so that the spirits can rest in peace.
