Chapter 579: War or Peace?
readx;
Qing Yi's intuition was that this was Lin Zhao's first step in plotting against Hehuang!
As long as Ali Gu returns, the internal struggle in Tibet will start again, and it will intensify. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The more intense the infighting, the weaker the forces used against the Song army, and the easier it will be for them to succeed.
Up to now, the Song army has also occupied the Shrine Valley, and the army is stationed in Baicheng, Qinzhou, and Hezhou.
After the army is mobilized, is there any reason to fight halfway and give up halfway? So there is reason to believe that Song Junzhi is in Hehuang. As for their lack of immediate attack, it may be that their troops or food and grass cannot keep up. In addition, due to the influence of the weather, snow and severe cold were huge obstacles for the Song army.
Even the emperor of the Song Dynasty and Lin Zhao were in a hurry, but they were not helpless. However, when the snow melts in the spring of the following year, it should be the time when the Song army launches an attack.
And in the past few months, the contradiction between Ali Gu and Lin Qibi has gradually stimulated!
Lin Zhao is so calculating!
However, Ali Gu did not think so, he said that it was a signal for the Song army to cease fighting.
Greeted by Su Nan Dangzheng, Ali Gu returned to Qingtang City.
The adopted son was lost and recovered, and he came back from the enemy country, which is a good thing, and Dong Yu is very happy. After all, after many years of nurturing, I have long had feelings. Mrs. Qiao, in particular, loves this cheap grandson even more. When I heard that Ali Gu came back safely, I was even more excited to tears!
"Ali Gu, if you suffer, it's good to come back!" Dong Yu looked at Ali Gu, without a word of reproach, all of them were concerned inquiries.
According to the tradition of respecting heroes, it is true that he would rather die on the battlefield than be captured as a prisoner. However, it is also a division of the situation, after all, the population on the plateau is limited, where can it be easy to die? It is always useful to be alive, especially when the current Hehuang Tubo is the time to employ people.
Ali Gu is also a talent, and he is just right to use it. Again. Qingyi didn't blame the ghost chapter before, how could he blame Ali Gu?
A bowl of water is a must, not to mention that Ali bones are relatively more intimate.
Of course, Dong Yu also has some complicated thoughts in his heart, but he will never show them in public.
"Did you escape, or did the Song people let you go?" The only one who is unhappy may be Lin Qibi! The only competitor was captured, and he was excited for a long time. Now there is no one to fight with themselves. Then Zampu's position is like a nail in the coffin, and there is no side to it.
But before he could be happy for a few days, he found that the nail was not firmly nailed, and Ali Gu actually returned. Especially when his father was so good to him, the soldiers and subjects also loved him a lot, which directly threatened his own interests. Why? Why did he come back? Why didn't he die in the Song Dynasty?
Just come back. Why is it so beautiful? Why is partiality the moment? If it was a little later, he would be able to eat away at his strength. Even if he comes back, he can't fight himself. But fate is full of such coincidences, Ali Gu Bisheng came back at this time.
Can Lin Qibi's heart be comfortable? It's just that in public, he can't vent his anger at all. The only thing that can be done is to ask a few words without yin or yang, if you can seize an opportunity, and then take the opportunity to smear Ali Gu.
"The Song people let me come back."
Ali Gu is clear. Lin Xiaobi deliberately mentioned escaping, which is completely a kind of irony for himself. There is no need to hide it in this matter, and there is no need to save face.
"Why did the people of the Song Dynasty let you come back? What tricks did the Song people have? Or something else? Lin is more aggressive and unceremonious, and the implication is obvious. It was almost said directly that Ali Gu collaborated with the enemy and committed treason and colluded with the Song people.
"No, the people of the Song Dynasty let me come back because I wanted me to bring a message to Zampu!" Ali Gu had long expected such a scenario. Therefore, he behaved very forbearantly.
Dong Yu asked, "What words?" ”
"Back to Zampu, the people of the Song Dynasty want a truce!"
Ali Gu's answer suddenly hit everyone's hearts heavily, Dong Yu's face was expressionless, Lin Yibi looked disdainful, Qing Yi raised his head slightly, his eyes flashed.
"The Song Dynasty wants a truce?" Lin Qibi sneered: "What are you kidding, do you believe this kind of thing?" ”
Dong Yu is very calm. He asked softly, "How so?" Did the people of the Song Dynasty really want a truce? ”
"Ali Gu doesn't dare to assert, but it's really possible! At present, Li Bingchang, the lord of Western Xia, has led an army of 200,000 to invade the border states of the Song Dynasty, and in the southeast of the Song Dynasty, Jiaozhi Guo also happened to invade. Ali Gu said: "The Song Dynasty is currently in turmoil. It is difficult to cope, so it is necessary to have a truce with our country. Let me come back, which is to show the sincerity of their armistice and peace talks, and at the same time bring a message to Zampu. ”
Dong Yu had already known the news of the Western Xia army, and the information from Jiaozhi came relatively late, but Dong Yu had also heard about it. It is not unreasonable for Ali Gu to say this. At war with three countries at the same time, it was really difficult for the Song Dynasty to deal with it. Especially since there is a powerful Liao country in the north, will they give up this good opportunity to rob while the fire is hot?
In order to be cautious and to alleviate serious border troubles, the people of the Song Dynasty could only make peace with one or two of these countries. The Western Xia was eyeing the enemy, and Jiaozhi had already invaded the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and it was difficult to stop the war. After all, the two countries are not directly at war for the time being, and there is the most possibility of a truce.
"Are you sure? Could it be a lie made up by the people of the Song Dynasty to deliberately paralyze us! Lin Kuibi was not very stupid this time, and did not say anything, "Think we are easy to bully in Tibet?" Are you here to fight, want to stop? The words of the outside strong and the dry.
"It's possible, but it's just a matter of being cautious!" Ali Gu has always been very low-key and cautious.
"Ali Gu, which do you think is more likely?" Dong Yu remained silent and asked in a deep voice.
"This ...... It is a fact that the Western Xia and Jiaozhi invaded the Song Dynasty, and the Western Xia had an army of 200,000 men, and the Song Dynasty was exhausted. Ali Gu said: "And Lin Zhao, the Shaanxi/West Road Xuanfu envoy of the Song Dynasty, also told me that the war of the Song army in the south was not going well, and there was a plan to mobilize the Western Army to the south to quell the rebellion, so there was no surplus force to continue the fierce war with our country, so there was a heart and a truce." This seems to be reasonable. ”
"Lin Zhao spoke, do you believe it too? Mobilize the Western Army to the south, how can such a secret be told to outsiders? Could it be that he and ...... What ...... about each other?" Lin Qibi said unceremoniously in front of his father Dong Yu. While expressing his dissatisfaction with Ali Gu, he also wanted to remind his father not to only care about Ali Gu's appearance, so as to ignore his own son.
"Hmph, what's there? Is there collusion? Ali Gu said unceremoniously: "What do I have to collude with?" What qualifications do I have to negotiate terms with Lin Zhao? What's in it for me?
As for what he said, it is both true and false, but it is not impossible. In the early years, the Song Dynasty had a precedent of mobilizing the western army to the south to quell the rebellion. This kind of large-scale troop movement, even if they don't say it, as long as it happens, we can detect it. He is saying it so generously now, it is not wrong to show his honesty! ”
"Don't say this, do you think Song Guo really has the heart to negotiate peace?" Dong Yu asked softly.
"I'm not sure, Lin Zhao is scheming, who knows if he harbors evil intentions." Ali Gu was cautious in his words and deeds, and did not give an accurate answer.
"So what do you think should be done?" Dong Yu continued to ask.
Ali Gu said: "Rectify the army, wait for it solemnly, if the Song army attacks, we will defend it with all our might." If the Song army really ceased to defend, we would pay attention to its battle with the Western Xia, and look for opportunities to send troops to recover the Niche Valley and Hezhou. ”
"Father, the sons and daughters have different opinions!" Lin Kuibi immediately spoke.
"Speak!"
"Since the Western Xia has already sent troops, why don't our countries take the initiative to attack the Song Dynasty with the Western Xia, recapture the Shrine Valley, Hezhou, and even occupy the land of the Song Dynasty?" Lin asked loudly.
"There is a saying in the Central Plains, the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman profits, isn't it very good that we sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?" Ali Gu retorted lightly.
"Isn't it good to unite with Western Xia and become stronger? Moreover, we took the initiative to ask for help from the Western Xia, and now that the Western Xia people have sent troops, isn't it tantamount to treachery if we go to the armistice to negotiate peace? Let the Tangut people resist the Song army, isn't this a beggar-thy-neighbor approach? ”
Lin has grown a little bit and looked at the problem a lot deeper. Of course, his opinion is not entirely public, and there is also a little selfishness. His wife was the princess of Jinshan in Western Xia, and she had an extremely close relationship with the Western Xia side. This time he asked for help from Xixia, and he was involved, so he naturally didn't want this matter to end up in a hurry.
Moreover, if Tubo really did this, it really meant that the points were beggar-thy-neighbor. The relationship with Western Xia may have an impact, and Lin Qibi doesn't want to get into trouble with his wife's maiden family. Xixia was a very powerful foreign aid for him, how could he lose it easily?
Dong Yu was very helpless, and sighed lightly: "Ghost Zhang, what do you think? ”
At this time, it is more reliable to ask Qingyi to tie the ghost chapter. The two sons could not agree with each other, so they had to ask a third person. To be honest, Dong Yu was really helpless. Sometimes he even thinks that if Ali Gu never comes, dies on the battlefield, or is imprisoned by the Song Dynasty forever, it can be regarded as completely cutting off his thoughts.
But he came back, and as soon as he came back, he couldn't be ruthless. This heart is somewhat wavering. Dong Yu knew that his swaying was terrible, but he couldn't restrain it. He couldn't help it himself, he was really helpless. For today's sake, it's better to ask Qingyi to tie the ghost chapter, after all, it's a bystander.
Qingyi Jiejie Ghost Chapter said in a low voice: "Zampu, now that the situation is still in the department, it's better to stay put!" (To be continued.)
