Chapter 404: The Tubo Night Banquet
On the night of the night, the Tubo royal court of Liangzhou held a banquet again. The same wine, the same (ròu), and the same people. However, the atmosphere of the banquet was very different.
After the banquet began, Pan Luozhi held the golden wine bottle and bowed deeply to Ling Kun and said: "The general saved my wife and children and reunited my family, he is my benefactor of Pan Luozhi, please let me express my deep gratitude to the general." ”
Ling Kun took the golden bottle and said: "Lord Wang, don't be polite, I am also a gesture, besides, I am very speculative with Xunzong, we are commensurate with brothers, who will I not help him?" It's just that I didn't expect Xunzong's father to be the prince, I don't understand, since the prince is Xunzong's father, why didn't he go to them for so many years? ”
"Alas!" Pan Luozhi sighed deeply, sat back in his place with an apologetic face, and said, "The general doesn't know, listen to me tell you slowly." ”
"I think at the beginning, I was just the youngest son of a small tribe chief, and I didn't have any lofty ambitions, I liked to travel in the mountains and rivers since I was a child, and I swam to the East China Sea that year and was injured in a conflict with local martial arts people, and was rescued by Xunzong's mother Yuru when I was dying, and then we (qíng) agreed and were together."
"Originally, I planned to tell my father to go to Jiaozhou to propose marriage after returning to Tibet, but at that time, the six valleys of Tibet were fighting each other, and my father and brothers were killed by another tribe in a war. When I returned, my family was ruined, and my people and tribes were overrun. ”
"I vowed to avenge my father and brother, but I was alone, and I was powerless. So I went to another tribe that was hostile to the enemy tribe, and married the chief's daughter. After years of operation, I finally became the chieftain, and also unified the six grains, killed the enemies, and became the great leader of the six valleys in Tibet. ”
"During this period, I didn't know that I had a son in Jiaozhou, but I didn't miss Yuru (rì) no more, but I wanted to avenge my father, unify the six valleys, and stick to the regime, so I didn't have time to look for her, and sent many people to find her, but there was no result."
Ling Kun quietly listened to Pan Luozhi's narration, although it was simple, but it was conceivable how thrilling Pan Luozhi had been over the years, so he said: "So that's the case, the prince has not been easy these years, presumably Auntie and Xunzong know this, and they won't blame the king."
Damn. ”
Chen Xunzong, who was sitting next to Pan Luozhi, said loudly: "Brother Ling, we don't blame our father, my father is a big hero and has been doing great things. ”
Pan Luozhi touched Chen Xunzong's head with a kind face and said: "General, this king has been fighting everywhere all these years, busy with political affairs, so far he only has four daughters, and has not given birth to a son, you don't know how happy this king is to suddenly have a son, this is thanks to the general's success and help." ”
Ling Kun hurriedly said: "The prince has an overreputation, I'm embarrassed to say it." ”
Pan Luozhi shook his head and said: "I, Pan Luozhi, have always done what I say, have revenge, and repay kindness. The general's grace (qíng) this time must be repaid, Li Jiqian's matter The general can rest assured, this king will definitely swear to help each other. ”
Ling Kun was overjoyed when he heard this, but he still said: "Lord Wang, let's return one yard to one yard, I didn't expect to have such a relationship with you, I don't need to reciprocate, if the prince helps me, if there is really a difficulty, I won't force it." ”
Pan Luozhi took a big sip of wine and said: "Don't hide it from the general, the difficulties are real, Li Jiqian has long taken a fancy to Liangzhou, and even the six grains of Tubo want to become his cunning rabbit hole." For more than a year, he has been sending people to surrender to the Western Xia, and the three people you killed last night were the Western Xia envoys. ”
Ling Kun was slightly startled and said, "In this way, wouldn't it be a trouble for the prince." ”
Pan Luozhi waved his hand and continued: "Li Jiqian has many generals, comes and goes without a trace, and his combat power is very strong, and my Tubo claims to have 60,000 elite soldiers, but in fact, there are no at all, if you really want to tear your face, you will definitely not be his opponent." So for so long, this king has been thinking of a snake and trying not to tear his face with him, but this time it's time to make an end. ”
When Ling Kun heard this, he frowned and said, "In this way, the disparity in strength between the two of you is too great, tearing your face at this time, I'm afraid it will be unfavorable to Tubo, the prince should think twice." ”
"It doesn't matter, this king has already thought about it, this matter must be concluded, not only to eliminate my Tibetan predicament, but also to repay the general's favor (qíng)."
Ling Kun let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Ling is grateful to Wang Yesheng (qíng), but the matter is big, and we have to think of a perfect plan." ”
"This king has already thought about this, and he will need a general at that time
Jun wishes me a helping hand. Pan Rochi said heroically.
Ling Kun was overjoyed and asked, "What is the prince's plan?" ”
Pan Luozhi smiled, and there was murder in his eyes: "The so-called reluctant child (tào) can't live with a wolf, hasn't he always wanted Liangzhou, then give it to him." ”
"Is the prince trying to surrender? Led Li Ji to move to Liangzhou? Ling Kun asked.
"Yes, if you want to find Li Jiqian, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky, and the only way is to let him take the initiative to come to you."
Ling Kun frowned and said: "Lord Wang, the plan is a good plan, but it is too risky, if you let Li Ji move into the city, it will lure the wolf into the house, and when the time comes, you will not be able to kill the wolf, you will have to be bitten to death by the wolf." ”
"Yes, this king naturally thought of it, but putting it to death and being reborn is the magic weapon of this king, otherwise how can I unify the six grains with my previous strength? Besides, there is a big general this time, this king can hear that the general has excellent martial arts, which is rare in the world, and the general is responsible for killing the first wolf, and we are responsible for killing the little wolf. As long as Li Jiqian died, Western Xia would not be troubled. ”
Ling Kun nodded again and again and said: "The prince's clever plan, Ling is willing to use his head to guarantee that Li Jiqian will not return." ”
Pan Luozhi shook his head and said: "Among the great generals, don't take risks in this wild place, just do your best." However, the king has another request, and I ask the general to grant it. ”
"Oh, Lord Wang, please speak, as long as Ling can do it, he can agree to anything."
Pan Luozhi said: "Since the general and the Xunzong brothers are commensurate, how about Suo (xìng) marry different (xìng) brothers? If this king is defeated, the Tubo tribe will still have to rely on the general to take care of it. ”
"Of course it's okay, Xun Zong and I are brothers." Ling Kun readily agreed, and said: "The prince must not be presumptuous, it is not certain who will kill the deer." ”
"Hahaha, this king is just preparing for the worst first, and he can only travel lightly after paving the back road." Pan Luozhi instructed: "Come, prepare incense offerings, and hold a knot ceremony for the general and Xunzong." ”
The swearing ceremony was very grand, and the Tubo national teacher personally presided over the ceremony and pushed the banquet again.
It's just that after this night banquet, it is difficult to predict what the outcome will be.
