Chapter 872: Expansion by force
Speaking of this, Zhang Bao'er gnawed down a piece of meat fiercely, and said in a chaotic manner while chewing: "Whether it is Datang or Tubo, they have no experience in fighting against big cannibals, if they don't adapt in advance, I'm afraid they will suffer a big loss in the future, and now the enemy is bright and I am dark, this is a good opportunity!" ”
Hou Huaian had to admire Zhang Bao'er for being thoughtful, he was right, this plan was indeed the most suitable for the current situation, and the whole plan was well-arranged.
Thinking of this, Hou Huai'an smiled and said: "Dingguo Gong's plan is good, Hou admires it, if Dingguo Gong does not dislike it, I and my subordinates will obey Dingguo Gong's command, and we can implement this plan together!" ”
"No problem!" Zhang Baoer said briskly: "With the addition of Brother Hou, I am more sure!" ”
After that, Zhang Baoer put on a serious face and said, "However, there is one thing I don't understand, can Brother Hou solve my doubts?" ”
Hou Huai'an knew that Zhang Bao'er was about to get to the point, and he said humbly: "Hou is only a shallow learner, I'm afraid he will disappoint Dingguo Gong!" In this way, Dingguo Gong will talk about it first, and the two of us will refer to it together, how about it? ”
Zhang Bao'er told Hou Huai'an about his proposal to let Hongde preside over the discussion with the Great Cannibal, and finally he asked suspiciously: "Brother Hou, you help me analyze and analyze, what is the idea of the Great Food?" ”
Hou Huai'an couldn't help but exclaim: "It's not good! ”
"What's wrong? Brother Hou, is there any problem? Zhang Baoer asked nervously.
"Dingguo Gong, you have made a losing move, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Hongde to host!"
"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Baoer was puzzled.
Hou Huai'an said in a deep voice: "If I guess correctly, no matter whether the big cannibal theory wins or loses, they will forcibly let the people of Zhaowu convert to the Great Food Sect, that is to say, they don't care about winning or losing at all, Dingguo Gong did this, but he ruined Hongde's life in vain, and they will definitely take Hongde unmoved and make an example!" ”
Zhang Bao'er's eyes widened: "Will they break their promises and do such a shameless thing?" ”
"Dingguo Gong, you don't know much about the Great Cannibal, the Great Food Country has always spread the Great Food Religion through military conquest, and the Persian State is an example." Speaking of this, Hou Huai'an showed a look of disgust: "After the Great Cannibal conquered Persia, he killed it from the left and then from the right, burned and looted on a large scale, destroyed Persian temples, and forced the Persian people to accept the Great Food Religion. The conquered people will either accept the Great Food Religion or they will have only one way to die. In contrast, Qu Dibo was much more tolerant in this regard, and the conquered people of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu could still believe in Buddhism as long as they paid the human tax. But as far as I know, the new Caliph of the Great Food Eater is quite dissatisfied with Qudibo's approach, and this situation will not last long, so ......"
Although Hou Huai'an didn't say any more, Zhang Bao'er had already understood the meaning of his words, and his mood suddenly became heavy. Although Zhang Baoer didn't want to believe that this was true, Hou Huai'an's analysis did make sense, which also confirmed why Su Jia was so confident, it turned out that he already had a bottom in his heart. If it was for his own reasons, he let Hongde host be killed, Zhang Baoer would definitely feel guilty in his heart.
Thinking of this, Zhang Baoer still had the heart to drink here, he wanted to hurry back to the Big Buddha Temple and persuade the Hongde presiding officer to give up this discussion.
Hou Huai'an guessed Zhang Bao'er's thoughts, he sighed and said: "Dingguo Gong, this matter is estimated to be impossible to change, even if you persuade Hongde to preside, he will not give up!" ”
"Why?" Zhang Baoer asked in surprise.
Hou Huai'an said conclusively: "Because he is a generation of high monks, he will inevitably die generously with the mind that I will not go to hell and who will go to hell!" ”
Zhang Baoer was speechless.
Hou Huai'an's analysis is not wrong at all, Hongde has been in the Western Regions for so many years, it is impossible that he has not heard of the evil deeds of the big cannibal, and from the moment Hongde presided over the decision to discuss the law, it is estimated that he has prepared for the worst.
"There are some things that we can't control, and Dingguo Gongda doesn't have to blame himself!" Hou Huai'an comforted Zhang Bao'er, and suddenly said: "Hou Mou solved the confusion for Dingguo Gong, I wonder if Dingguo Gong can also help Hou?" ”
"Brother Hou, please speak!" Zhang Baoer said absent-mindedly.
Hou Huai'an suddenly asked, "How did Dingguo Gong know the black scorpion?" ”
"Huh?" Zhang Bao'er didn't expect Hou Huai'an to ask such an inconsequential question, he frowned and said, "Brother Hou asked what he was doing with this?" ”
"The black scorpion may have some relationship with Hou, I want to confirm one thing!" Hou Huai'an said abruptly.
"Since she has a relationship with you, then what do you ask me to do?" Zhang Bao'er was puzzled: "Don't you know her?" ”
"I don't know!" Hou Huai'an shook his head and said: "Dingguo Gong just tell me how you know her, as for our origin, Hou Mou will tell her truthfully later!" ”
Hearing Hou Huai'an say this, Zhang Baoer did not hide it, and told him the process of getting acquainted with the black scorpion one by one.
"Black Scorpion, her mother killed herself?" Hou Huai'an listened, his chest rose and fell, and he asked again: "Does Dingguo know her mother's surname?" ”
"I don't know about that!" Zhang Baoer shook her head.
"Then who is the enemy that her mother asked her to find?" Hou Huaian stood up and asked nervously.
"It seems to be a man in his forties, saying that there is a red sha birthmark at the base of his thigh!" Speaking of this, Zhang Baoer sighed: "A big girl's family, all these years, she has taken off her man's pants and gone to find the red sha birthmark, which not only wasted a good time, but also ended up with a bad reputation, it's really not worth it!" ”
After hearing this, Hou Huai'an leaned back in the chair, the whole person seemed to have no vitality, and muttered to himself: "She still hates me so much when she is dead, and she uses such a vicious method to take revenge, what a sin!" ”
Zhang Bao'er looked at Hou Huai'an strangely: "Brother Hou, what the hell is going on?" ”
Hou Huai'an sighed: "The black scorpion may be my daughter!" ”
"Your daughter?" Zhang Bao'er was stunned: "How is this possible?" ”
"I came to the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu back then, probably twenty years ago!" Hou Huai'an leisurely recalled the past: "At that time, my father was the little minister of Tubo, and he was anxious to understand the situation of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu, so he sent me to disguise myself as a camel merchant and go to Kangju City......"
On that occasion, when the caravan passed through the edge of a desert, it suddenly encountered a black storm, and the caravan stayed in the village where the black scorpion's mother, Liu, lived, and Hou Huai'an lived in her house.
After the strong wind, the heaven and the earth are distorted and discolored, and the sand buries the camel road, and the road is not distinguished.
