Zhang Baoer was a little convinced, Hou Junji may have really been wronged, but the person is dead, what is the use of saying so much. Zhang Baoer seems to remember her situation, Li Longji was on the throne by himself, who can guarantee that his future fate will be better than Hou Junji?

Hou Huai'an glanced at Zhang Bao'er, and seemed to guess Zhang Bao'er's thoughts, he said with a smile: "Actually, there are such things everywhere, even Tubo is no exception!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Baoer asked.

"Has the Duke of Dingguo heard of the famous Tibetan general Qinling?"

Zhang Bao'er nodded: "I've heard of it, but it's not too clear!" ”

"In April of the first year of Xianheng, Qinling captured the four towns of Anxi, and the Tang Dynasty took Xue Rengui as the general manager of the march of Luo Dao, and led 100,000 troops to Qinghai to conquer Tibet. Qinling annihilated the Tang army of 100,000 in one fell swoop with an absolute superiority of troops, and defeated the famous Xue Rengui, who was demoted to a commoner because of this, and Qinling became famous in the first battle. In the spring of the third year of Yifeng, the Tang Dynasty took Liu Xianli as the general manager of Taohe Road and the ambassador of pacification, commanded 180,000 troops to Qinghai Lake, and Qinling led the Fan army to meet the battle, annihilated the Tang Qianjun army, and captured Liu Xianli. Qinling won a complete victory, and Liu Xianli died of illness in Tubo. In the first year of Wu Zetian's long live Tongtian, Tang Fan fought for the four towns of Anxi, and Qinling and his younger brother Zanpo led the troops to start a decisive battle with the Tang army who came to conquer in Surokhan Mountain, and the result was a great victory again. The general Wang Xiaojie was dismissed as a commoner, and Lou Shide was demoted to the former state member Wai Sima. ”

Zhang Baoer listened to it with relish, he didn't know that there were such famous generals in Tubo.

"Qinling defeated Xue Rengui first, defeated Liu Xianli twice, and defeated Wang Xiaojie three times, if he did not die, he would defeat the Tang army in Qinhai, and it was not known to attack Luoyang in Chang'an. But such a meritorious hero, but because of his high merit, he was killed by the king of Tubo. Qinling's younger brother Zanpo led more than 1,000 people and his brother's descendants had to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty awarded Zanpo the general of the auxiliary state, the general of the right guard, and was crowned the king of Dejun, and the gift was very generous, and he still ordered his troops to fight in the Hongyuan Valley, and they eventually became the backbone of the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo war. ”

Speaking of this, Hou Huaian smiled bitterly and said with self-deprecation: "After my father arrived in Tubo, he became the little minister of Tubo and gave advice to Tubo to deal with the Tang Dynasty. After my father died, I continued to take over as prime minister. How similar is the experience of our Hou family and the Qinling family in Tibet, isn't this a creation to make people? ”

After hearing this, Zhang Bao'er hugged his fist towards Hou Huai'an and said: "Please allow me to call you Brother Hou, first of all, I want to thank you for your honesty and unreservedly telling me about your life experience." Since Brother Hou is so honest, I won't beat around the bush! ”

Hou Huaian also saluted: "Please Dingguo Gong speak up, Hou will listen to you!" ”

"Everyone has their own ambitions, it is your own decision for Brother Hou and Lord Lingzun to become officials in Tubo, and I don't want to say anything." As soon as the voice changed, Zhang Bao'er said with a straight face: "However, now that the Tang Dynasty and Tubo are at loggerheads, and the war is about to break out, you and I can only be enemies." With all due respect, after we meet this time, we may only be able to meet on the battlefield next time. ”

Hou Huai'an said disapprerovingly: "That's right, we are hostile, but the two sides of the hostile side are not without the possibility of cooperation!" ”

"Cooperation?" Zhang Bao'er got up and said: "Do you think I don't know, you are supporting Ashina Dudan behind your back, gathering the old Turkic department everywhere, and stirring up the people of the four towns of Anxi in my Tang Dynasty to panic, in this case, you still talk about cooperation with me, and you can say it." ”

Hou Huai'an said indifferently: "If the Tang Dynasty wants to open up its territory, doesn't Tubo need it?" The four towns of Anxi were originally taken from the Turks by the Tang Dynasty, so why couldn't Tubo take them from the Tang Dynasty again? That's right, we are supporting Ashina Dudan behind our backs, but isn't Datang also supporting Ashina Xian? Could it be that what the Tang Dynasty can do, Tubo can't do, is there such a reason? ”

Although Hou Huai'an's words made Zhang Bao'er very uncomfortable to listen to, she couldn't refute it, so she had to sit down again angrily.

Hou Huaian smiled slightly: "Datang has the strategy of Datang, Tubo has the idea of Tubo, I and Dingguo Gong are our own masters, there is only winning or losing when we fight, and there is no one who is right or wrong." Inviting Dingguo Gong to come today, Hou wants to say another thing. ”

"What's the matter?" Zhang Bao'er said vigilantly.

"The dispute between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo is just a dispute between brothers, but the big cannibal is different. The Great Cannibal, whether it is to Tubo or the Tang Dynasty, should be regarded as foreign invaders. From this point of view, can't you and I put aside our current grievances for the time being and work together to deal with the big cannibal? ”

Hou Huai'an's words made Zhang Baoer very moved, he was right, the big cannibals are the common enemies of the Tang Dynasty and Tubo. However, how could Zhang Baoer trust him easily?

Hou Huai'an seemed to guess Zhang Bao'er's mind again, and he said sincerely: "Every piece of land conquered by the Great Cannibals has become a practice to force the people of the conquered land to convert to the Great Food Sect. Dingguo Gong should know that the Tibetan people believe in Buddhism, and they cannot and are unwilling to convert to the Great Food Religion. From this point of view, Tibet and the Great Eclipse are natural enemies. ”

Zhang Bao'er nodded slightly.

Hou Huai'an continued: "The Tang Dynasty and Tubo are fighting for the head of the Western Regions, and they don't have too much strength to take care of the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms, and here, only the power of you and me exists, and if we don't cooperate, how can we fight the big cannibals?" ”

Zhang Bao'er glanced at Hou Huai'an, and basically made up her mind in her heart.

"As far as I know, the reason why the Great Food was able to conquer the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms is not because the Great Food army is good at fighting, the key is that they have a good commander, Qu Dibo!" Speaking of this, a gleam flashed in Hou Huai'an's eyes: "So, as long as we try to get rid of Qu Dibo, the Great Food Army will be leaderless and become a piece of scattered sand, and the rest will be easy to do, which is also the purpose of my journey to Kangju City!" ”

"Something to work with, I can think about it!" Zhang Bao'er seemed to be thinking further, and he asked: "If we drive away the Great Cannibal, will the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms be handed over to the Tang Dynasty in the end, or should it be ceded to Tubo?" ”

"Dingguo Gong thinks long enough!" Hou Huai'an looked at Zhang Bao'er with a strange expression, and said with a smile: "The big cannibal is far more powerful than we imagined, with the current strength of the two of us, it is impossible to shake them at all, let's take one step at a time!" ”

Zhang Bao'er didn't speak, just waited for Hou Huai'an's next words.

Hou Huai'an saw that Zhang Bao'er was so persistent, so he had to shake his head and said: "Even if the big cannibals are driven away, whether the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms should be returned to the Tang Dynasty or to Tubo, I don't count if I say it, and it doesn't count if you say Dingguogong, you can only rely on your ability to fight the law, who is better will naturally fall to whom!" ”
