After the meeting was adjourned, Hohe Bari came to the side hall.

"Is Mr. Zhu here?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I have already come, and I am drinking tea in the room."

Hohe Bari ordered nothing to disturb, and then walked into the side hall.

"Your Majesty."

Seeing Hohe Bari coming in, Zhu Zhengchao hurriedly put down the teacup and got up to salute.

"Sit down and talk."

Hohe Bari waved his hand, walked to the top position and sat down, and then asked with concern: "Xiansheng, is your illness better?" ”

Zhu Zhengchao sat down, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "It's an old problem, the weather turns cold, and the limbs are in abnormal pain. ”

During this time, Zhu Zhengchao has been recuperating at home, and if he hadn't been summoned by Hohe Bari, he would not have come to the palace.

Huhe Bari exhaled: "Xiansheng, you must take care of your health, I still need your help in many things. ”

Hohebari gathered a large number of Han people, among which there are many wise and resourceful people, but the most important and trusted by him is Zhu Zhengchao, Hohebari has come to this point, its blueprint and overall planning, all from the hands of Zhu Zhengchao.

Zhu Zhengchao was very sick at the front end, and he had been ignoring things, the matter of the Fan Alliance, and he couldn't pay attention to it, so he went to Zhu Zhengchao's home in person to ask for advice, and then he made a decision.

However, Hohba Ri is now the emperor, the king of a country, and it is not good to go to the home of a courtier when he is old.

Zhu Zhengchao's attitude was very resolute about the Tubo Alliance, that is, he ignored it and did not help any party, at that meeting, Zhu Zhengchao was not in good health, and many words were not finished and said thoroughly, and Hohe Bari still didn't understand, so this time he summoned Zhu Zhengchao into the palace, just to think about the reason and reason why he did not send troops.

"This little illness will not be able to kill the minister for the time being, Your Majesty does not need to worry."

Huhe Bari's concern made Zhu Zhengchao very grateful, straightened out his thoughts, and said: "Your Majesty summoned the ministers to come, but what about Tibet?" ”

Hohe Bari nodded and said, "Tubo sent envoys again, still hoping to form an alliance with my Da Liao to deal with the Jin Dynasty together. ”

Zhu Zhengchao didn't move, and asked, "What does Your Majesty think?" ”

Huhe Bari pondered for a moment and said: "The Jin Dynasty has seventy or eighty thousand troops in Longyou, and it has the advantage of fortifying the city, and the strength of Tubo is several times higher, and it is difficult to make a difference, so I have always been optimistic about the Jin Dynasty before, but who would have thought that Liangzhou was lost, the Anbei rescue army was defeated and retreated, the state fell, the main army of the Jin Dynasty in Longyou North Road was annihilated, and the situation in Tubo was very good. I think this is a great opportunity. ”

Zhu Zhengchao sneered: "Gewa's temperament is known to the world, and his guarantee, Your Majesty still doesn't take it seriously." ”

Hohe Ba Ri Zhengse said: "But no matter what, this is indeed an opportunity, and I don't want to let it go." ”

Zhu Zhengchao said lightly: "In this case, how will Your Majesty treat Anbei if you take it?" ”

"I have thought about this problem, losing the big rear of Longyou, Anbei will become a lonely place, so before solving the problem of Tubo, the Jin Dynasty will never dare to turn against us, and they can only accept the reality of losing Anbei in the end."

Hohe Ba Ri has a plan to send troops to Anbei, and this plan is not rash, but has been thought through.

Zhu Zhengchao shook his head and said very solemnly: "If Your Majesty sends troops to Anbei, the minister is sure that the Jin Dynasty will immediately reconcile with Tubo, and the two countries will reach an alliance to jointly deal with our Great Liao." ”

Huhe Bari was stunned, Zhu Zhengchao's thinking jumped too fast, and now Tubo is trying his best to take the initiative to match an alliance with himself, how can it be so fast, it is to pull the alliance between the Jin Dynasty and Tubo?

"I don't understand what to say."

"What does the Tibetans want? What's his bottom line? What did the Jin Dynasty want? What's his bottom line? ”

Zhu Zhengchao said in a deep voice: "Tubo wants the land of Longyou, this is undoubted, but it is not necessarily the entire Longyou, they are now"

Hohe Bari raised his hand and interjected: "Wait, it's not necessarily the entire Longyou, what do you mean?" ”

Zhu Zhengchao said lightly: "Longyou is divided into two parts, the western seven states and the northern four states, the northern four states, is the core of the Jin Dynasty, to be precise, Liang, Shan, Sanzhou, with these three states, Anbei has the rear, the supply is sufficient, in order to be stable, in order to form a solid military defense, to ensure the safety of the western gateway of the Jin Dynasty, in order to prevent the invasion of our Daliao and Tubo, this is the lifeblood of the Jin Dynasty, he will never sit idly by, even if because the situation is inviolable, take the initiative to retreat and compromise, but that is only temporary." Once well prepared, it will definitely make a comeback, how can Tubo not know this truth? They now occupy the entire Longyou North Road, and help us to lay down Anbei, at that time, Tubo itself will be caught in the middle, and who will do what is unfavorable to him? ”

Listening to Zhu Zhengchao's words, Huhe Ba Ri's whole person fell into deep thought.

Zhu Zhengchao glanced at Hohe Ba Ri and continued: "Yichen guessed that the reason why Tubo tried his best to promote the alliance with my Da Liao was to hope that His Majesty would send troops to attack Anbei as soon as possible, so that the Jin Dynasty would not dare to act rashly, and at that time, Tubo would probably immediately send the emperor of the Jin Dynasty to add Langzhou to the land of the seven states in the west of Longyou in exchange for Liang, Shan, and Sanzhou, instead, will fall into the war with the Jin Dynasty and make wedding dresses for others. ”

Huhe Ba Ri's heart was shaken, and he exclaimed: "You mean to say that the real destination of Longyou is the land of the seven states in the west of Longyou?" ”

Zhu Zhengchao said affirmatively: "Yes, only in this way is it in line with the best interests of Tubo at present, Your Majesty should not forget that the western part of Longyou is connected to the Western Regions, where the land is more expansive and has more development prospects, why do you have to be here, and the Jin Dynasty is entangled to the end?" ”

Hohe Ba Ri stood up violently and walked back and forth in the room.

After combing through Zhu Zhengchao's words, Hohe Bari had a sense of sudden enlightenment.

Just like Zhu Zhengchao just asked himself, after taking Anbei, what then? The same is true for Tibet, after taking Longyou North Road, and then what?

Tubo national strength is weak, the first Longyou battle fiasco, but just a few years ago, the vitality has not recovered, this time to launch such a large-scale offend, it can be said that the strength of the whole country, the poor army silent, simply can not last, once the Jin Dynasty eased up, full counterattack, Tubo can not resist at all, the best ending, is just a safe return to Tubo, so Tubo needs the help of external forces, this external force, is the Liao Dynasty, once the Liao Dynasty launched an attack on Anbei, Tubo or sent troops to Liangzhou, attack Anbei from behind, Or to defend the state, block the Jin Dynasty to come to the aid of the army, at that time, the situation faced by Tubo can be described as a great good, advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, with the Jin Dynasty's things, the four states of Longyou North Road as a bargaining chip, negotiations, forced the Jin Dynasty to cede the land of seven states in the west of Longyou.
