Li Tong and Heizhi Changzhi met this time, and it can be said that they both felt that they had gained a lot.

From Li Tong's side, although he is now in power and almost ruled across the Tong Pass from the imperial court, the pressure he is facing is also great. Even without taking into account the various disputes that have not yet settled at home, in terms of external troubles alone, he was under more than two-thirds of the pressure of border troubles during this period.

Whether it is the resurgence of the Turks or the fierce Tibet, these are the opponents and challenges that Li Tong must face directly. Therefore, although he was almost on the verge of self-government in Guanzhong, there was still no fierce opposition from the imperial court at the moment.

In addition to the influence of the officials of the Yongwang family in the court, it is also because for the imperial court, temporarily giving up the control of Guanzhong can throw the two major border crises to the Yongwang shogunate in Chang'an at the same time, so that they have more energy to sort out and integrate the domestic situation.

If King Yong can't defeat the enemy, then there is nothing to say, and he may not be able to wait for the court to regain King Yong's power, and his people have already been killed by Hu Kou, who is a border trouble. At that time, the situation in the country will be stabilized, and the strength will gradually recover, and the mess of the Yongwang shogunate will be calmly cleaned up.

Another possibility is that King Yong can successfully resist those external troubles, of course, this possibility is not big, because whether it is Turkic or Tibetan, they are both powerful opponents worthy of the strength of the whole country to deal with. But even if King Yong did it, it must be a lot of loss, what strength can he have to fight against the imperial court?

Li Tong is not afraid of challenges, whether it is based on the memory of later generations or the current responsibility, he hopes to regain the glory of his ancestors and recreate the situation of the Tang Dynasty's hegemony, so he went west to Guanzhong and even ascended to Longshang.

But ambition is one thing, reality is another. The original Eastern Turks were the opponents of Zhenguan Dynasty, the reign of the Ming Dynasty, the famous generals of the Manchu Dynasty, and the strength of the whole country was more combined with vertical and horizontal to solve the opponent. As for Tubo, it was at the most beautiful moment of the Tang Dynasty, and the two battles of Dafeichuan and Chengfengling made the Tang Dynasty hurt to the bone marrow.

In the corner of Guanzhong, Li Tong could not fully control it at the moment, so his initial thinking was only to focus on active defense, first strive to maintain the current border defense situation, and then accumulate strength and seek fighters.

In addition to not having an advantage in overall strength, it is also because his foundation is still shallow, especially in military affairs, and there is hardly a general who can be trusted alone.

Reluctantly speaking, Qi Bi Ming is one, after all, the father and son have accumulated power for two generations, and in the Wu Zhou Dynasty, Qi Bi Ming once served as Shuo Fang, controlling Tiele there and the rest of the Saihu tribes. Therefore, when the two battlefields were in an emergency at the same time, Li Tong sent Qi Ming to the north to deal with the Turkic invasion, while he himself ascended to Longshang.

The effect of Hei Tooth Changzhi is undoubtedly a relief for Li Tong, he is not a conservative character, even if he was detained in the old years, he is still actively working hard to break through. With the strength in his hands, he immediately planned a coup d'état in Shendu City to strive for greater space for development.

This is as true for the situation at home as it is for the outside world. Previously, he still only had a conceptual understanding of Tibet, and had to be slightly conservative based on reality, but as his understanding deepened, especially when he learned that Tubo was now full of contradictions, he naturally had some restless thoughts in his heart.

Tubo's argument on Qinling was indeed unstoppable, but it was also suspicious of its monarch and feared by his ministers, and could not fully control the war machine of Tubo. This is slightly similar to Li Tong's situation, since both sides can only use a corner of their strength, what can be separated from the top and bottom is nothing more than fighting fiercely.

In terms of military talent, Li Tong considered himself not to be the opponent of Qinling.

However, Hei Zhi Changzhi is a rare general who can maintain many victories in the battle with Tubo since Gaozong, since he has served himself and exudes a high fighting spirit, Li Tong naturally wants to give Hei Zhi Changzhi enough trust and support, and this Tubo army god has a hard against hard encounter.

As for the black tooth Changzhi, he felt even more deeply, and the statement of His Royal Highness King Yongwang was tantamount to a long drought and a rainy day for him. Although he had outstanding military achievements, it was difficult for the generals to enter the court, and it was always difficult to gain the full trust of the king.

Of course, there is no way to complain about this, in addition to the loss of the country, Heizhi Changzhi just hopes to serve the clan family with his will to fight for a little living space in the land of Datang. Therefore, every battle must be done with all our might, forgetting life and death.

However, war can never affect the overall situation by individual will alone, and the defeat of Chengfeng Ridge in the old years, Heizhi Changzhi almost single-handedly reversed the decline of the army and rescued many defeated soldiers, which was also a basis for the formation of the Heyuan Army.

After decades in the Tang Dynasty, if it was just to survive at the beginning, then now there is more or less a sense of identity. Especially sitting at the forefront of the battle with Tubo in Heyuan all the year round, although Heiya Changzhi has also accumulated many victories, it has always been difficult to reverse the real overall situation.

Seeing that the Tibetan thieves continued to plunder the territory he guarded, the pictures of the robes talking and laughing in the old years still sounded in his mind from time to time, but his bones had been built into Beijing officials by Tubo, and they were destroyed by the wind and sand.

Although I am just a sinister seed who has lost my country, I am not without the heartfelt feelings of being born......

In fact, not long after the coup d'état in Shendu, Liu Youqiu, a subordinate of King Yong, came to lobby him, and when Heizhi Changzhi was still hesitating, there were also people in the customs who came to see Heizhi Changzhi and lobbied him.

Moreover, compared with some of the conditions put forward by Liu Youqiu, the promise made by the other party was more tempting, expressing his willingness to lobby the imperial court, let the imperial court recruit him to return to the court, and let General Yulinwei let him and give the black-toothed Chang Zhifan the highest standard of the title, and give him the title of Fuyu County King.

In the face of such a promise, Hei Tooth Changzhi was of course also tempted, but when he asked how the imperial court would pass through the source of the river and solve the border troubles in Tibet, the other party was hesitant and had no plan.

This made the eager heart of the black tooth Chang Zhifang suddenly cool down, realizing that the other party was just using him as a bargaining chip, empty promises, and maybe there was still the idea of using it up and throwing it away. They don't even pay attention to what they have to do with their lives and achievements, so how can they value the relevant commitments?

Later, the imperial court appointed King Yong as the governor of Guannei Province and the affairs of Guanxi, but there were no more instructions for the Heyuan army.

When the Xuanfu envoy arrived in Shanzhou, Heizhi Changzhi also repeatedly showed his strategy, hoping to attract the attention of the imperial court and gain the support of the imperial court, but the Xuanfu envoy reacted coldly to this, and only urged him to cooperate in summoning the chieftains of Longyou, including the Western Regions, to join the court to congratulate.

Compared with the indifference of the imperial court, His Royal Highness King Yongwang can be described as enthusiastic and positive about side affairs, and he has worked tirelessly to climb Longshang in person, which naturally makes Heiya Changzhi even more grateful.

If he returns to the court, his best result is nothing more than the rest of his life, and he is very likely to be involved in many political disputes, and he may die at any time without a place to be buried.

King Yong was ambitious, and he had saved his life many years ago.

Hei Tooth Changzhi knows the story of the court, at that time, King Yong had not been out of the cabinet for a long time, once the plot was revealed, there would be a disaster of death, but even so, he was still willing to save him, which undoubtedly made this kindness a little thicker.

Previously, he sent his son to Longzhou to welcome King Yong, just to express his gratitude for saving his life. However, as the contact deepened, Hei Tooth Changzhi realized that King Yong could not only trust his life, but also conspire with each other. In both public and private, there is a charm that can make people fall in love with each other!

At the end of the conversation with each other, Hei Fang Changzhi hurriedly withdrew from the hall, and when he returned, he was already wearing light armor, stepped forward and said: "Your Royal Highness came to Shancheng in person, and the servants had nothing else to report, but to wear armor and stay straight, and protect my king's living with peace of mind." ”

After Li Tong heard this, he waved his hand again and again: "Yan Guogong doesn't have to be like this, the use of the court and the importance of the little king, how can he be here to guard the micro force?" If this achievement is successful, it will be the great merit of Kuangfu Sheji, and there is no need to make this depreciation before the war! ”

"Loyalty, do your best! But the servant's straight stay, in grace and affection, can not be lacking. Please enjoy this day, Your Highness, after tomorrow, the king's order will be strictly observed, and you will not dare to indulge in favoritism! ”

Black teeth are often still forked hands.

Li Tong had already reached this point when he heard him, so he also nodded and agreed. The soldier entering the Zhisu Guard is not only a great talent, but also means absolute trust, and he can trust his life.

Like his great-grandfather Li Shimin, he often used this method to praise and win over generals, and every time Li Shimin praised a certain general in the history books, he often only lived in his place and slept peacefully.

After King Yong entered the city, the guards of the inner city state government had been replaced by the shogunate guards led by Guo Da, and when they saw the guards in armor and armor of the Black Tooth Changzhi, the henchmen of King Yong felt proud for a while, and at the same time they also had a sense of identity with the Black Tooth Changzhi, and felt much closer to each other.

However, before he moved into the house to rest, there were twists and turns. As soon as Li Tong walked into the inner courtyard of the state capital, there was a strong fragrant breeze blowing on his face, and he turned his head left and right, only to see that there were many women standing under the corridors of the carriages on both sides of the inner courtyard, at least one or two hundred people.

These women are dressed up one by one, and judging from their clothes and appearances, they should all be from all sides, exotic and colorful, and all kinds of beauties are different, dazzling and dizzying.

"What's going on?"

Li Tong's gaze was also on the Hu women for a long time before he withdrew it, and then asked the black tooth Changzhi who was standing behind him.

"His Royal Highness went out to patrol Longbian, and all the Hu in Longbian came when they heard the news, and they all offered bright colors to show respect. The servants don't know what His Highness is interested in, but they are all in the inner palace for His Highness to reward. ”

When Hei Tooth Chang Zhi said this, he also grinned: "The scenery of Longbian may not be boastful, but the color of the tribes is indeed wonderful." His Royal Highness's famous works are free, and all the tribes are prostrate on their feet, taking this as a treasure, offering and seeking favor, but His Royal Highness picks up the reward and is honored with it. ”
