Chapter 576: Feel free to go and stay
readx;
Ali Gu did not suffer any crime after being captured, after all, he was the prince of Tubo, and Lin Zhao was not bad to him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The conditions of food and accommodation are very good, the only thing is to limit freedom.
However, Ali Gu did not rejoice in this, and since the day he was captured, he had become worried. It was a despair from the heart, yes, despair!
Ali Gu is a man with dreams, ambitious, and has coveted the position of Tubo Zampu for a long time. So from the beginning of being sensible, after realizing that he had the possibility of winning the throne, he performed as well as he could, surpassing Lin Bibi in all aspects
Victory finally began to beckon him, and the scales of the crown prince's position had begun to tip in his favor, and only one more weight was needed. Ali Gu believes that this weight is a war feat, a war feats worthy of special mention.
So he resolutely walked to the battlefield of the Song Dynasty in the east, and his destination was to set foot in Baicheng, but unfortunately he stopped in the Niche Valley forever. Now, although he has set foot on the coveted land of the Song Dynasty, he is a prisoner.
was captured, although the Song Dynasty did not kill him, Ali Gu knew that his life was still in danger. Even if he can save his life, he will only be treated as a commodity, used to blackmail the river, or in exchange for something. Even if you can return to Hehuang, what's the use?
A loser, a captive, in the eyes of the Tibetans who respect the hero, is nothing. He has no pride, no capital, and the position of Zampu will be completely missed by him.
Maybe the brave Ali Gu can not care about his life, but the position of Zampu is his persistent pursuit and it is difficult to give up. When he loses, it is the biggest blow to him.
Stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood, Ali Gu doesn't know if he is waiting for a miracle to appear. is still cowardly and lost the courage to commit suicide, in fact, even if he wants to die, the Song people will not let him die. A Tibetan prince, even if he is not needed in the northwest, can also give a prisoner gift when he returns to Bianjing. History books can be written in thick ink and color, how can it be easily wasted?
Ali Gu is so helpless, he can only borrow wine to drown his sorrows every day!
Although he is a prisoner, his place of residence is not bad, not a cold, damp, disgusting and dirty prison, but also a neat house. The daily meals aren't very tasty, but they're not hard to swallow.
In addition to this, there is another characteristic, and that is stillness. It's quiet!
There is a slight sound every day, except during the meal delivery time. The usually quiet needle drop can be heard.
Silence is scary. Especially without knowing the passage of time, it was total torture. It is said that one form of punishment or extortion of confessions is to lock people up in a closed house. Cut off communication with the outside world, and leave no timekeeping equipment. In this environment, people will be very depressed, or it will not be long before they will be unbearable, and even go crazy.
Ali Gu is in such a state at this moment, and sometimes he even roars twice, but unfortunately he can't get a response. Torture, it's really torture, it's really better to kill yourself with a knife.
The people of the Song Dynasty didn't do anything, so they could also break it themselves. Ali Bone moved freely in the room, and his hands and feet were not tied. Although he did not have a sword, he could have died by touching a pillar, suffocating himself to death in a wooden basin where he washed his face, or even hanging himself.
But Ali Gu didn't do that. It shows that he still has a strong survival**. If you want to live, then you have to endure such suffering!
But today, Ali Gu finally heard footsteps. It's not a meal, that means someone is coming, and Ali Gu is so excited. Who is helpless to come, what is the purpose of coming, as long as he can say a word to himself, Ali Gu will feel very comfortable.
With a creak, the door opened, and a man walked in.
Ali Gu's eyes changed a few times, and he said in surprise: "Lin Zhao! ”
His voice was a little shaky, and his pronunciation was not particularly fluent. After more than a month of loneliness and cutting off communication with others, Ali Gu actually had a slight language barrier!
"Prince Ali Bone, are you okay here?" Lin Zhao asked this former friend with a smile, can he barely be regarded as a friend!
"If you want to kill or listen to the venerable, why torture me like this?" Ali Gu was a little angry, especially when he saw Lin Zhao's smile, he felt that it was mockery.
"Torture?" Lin Zhao pretended to be puzzled and said, "Why do you say this? Did the people below abuse the prince? ”
"Ming people don't talk darkly, why beat around the bush!"
Lin Zhao said with a smile: "It seems that more than a month is not enough for self-cultivation." ”
"You ......"
"What's wrong?" Lin Zhao asked rhetorically: "Compared with the prince's treachery and collusion with Liang Yibury to murder me, leaving you with your life is polite!" You think it's torture, that's good, it's easy to get free, you can just think of a way to end yourself, but why didn't you do it? ”
Ali Gu was speechless for a moment!
Lin Zhao unceremoniously uncovered his scars and said, "In this way, it seems that the prince is either endured by humiliation and has ambitions that have not yet been realized, so he will make compromises and keep this useful body." Either you're a coward and don't even have the courage to kill yourself. ”
Ali Gu naturally didn't want to admit the latter, maybe he could endure it so far, but there are some things that must not be admitted.
Lin Zhao didn't intend to let him admit it, it would be boring if it was completely debunked!
"Your Excellency is the prince of Tibet, and it is not strange that you have great ambitions, but now that you have fallen to this point, what can you do even if you have great ambitions?"
Ali Gu said disdainfully: "Won't you come today to talk about the wind and cold?" ”
"Of course not, I'm here today to discuss with the prince, maybe I can help you!"
"You? Help me? Ali Gu sneered: "Save it, I don't know what kind of conspiracy you have!" ”
"No matter what we think, it's good for the prince!" Lin Zhao said: "Let's just take what we need!" ”
"How do you take what you need?" In the end, Ali Gu did not resist the temptation.
Lin Zhao smiled: "If the prince can return to Tibet, I will help you ascend to the throne, what do you think?" ”
"What exactly do you want to do, tell me all at once!" Ali Gu said coldly: "You will have such a good heart? ”
"With the prince's ability, as long as he can return to Qingtang City, it seems that the position of Zampu can be held without my help, right?" Lin Zhao smiled, this is how it consumes Ali Gu's patience.
"What the hell are you trying to do?"
"I can't talk about tricks, so I'll just say it directly, I want to talk about a cooperation with the prince, or ask the prince for a favor!" Lin Zhao knew that the heat was almost over, so he could talk to Ali Gu this time.
"How?"
Lin Zhao said: "Right now, our army occupies the Niche Valley, and it is easy to attack Hehuang!" ”
"It's easy to attack, but it's hard to say whether you can win or not, don't underestimate my Tubo warriors, the battle of Niche Valley is just a fluke win for you!" Ali retorted unconvinced.
"The past doesn't matter anymore, let's talk about the future!" Lin Zhao said: "The original intention of my Great Song Emperor was to directly capture Hehuang, and I have been dispatching troops for a long time, and I also plan to do so. Unfortunately, two things happened recently, and the plan was blocked, and the strategy had to be adjusted. ”
"What happened?" Ali Gu was very curious.
Lin Zhaolang said: "It's not a secret, the Xixia people have sent troops, and the 200,000 troops directly attacked the northwestern states of the Great Song Dynasty, this is not a joke, and it is not easy for me to be the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi/West Road!" ”
"Hmph, now I know it's not easy, you guys are just playing with fire**!" Ali bones are the way of nature, and Hehuang Tubo asked for help from Western Xia. It is also clear that after the Western Xia sent troops, the pressure on the Song Dynasty would increase. This is the only good news he has heard so far, and if he is mixed with the Western Xia, then the Song Dynasty's attitude towards Tubo will change, and his fate and future will take a turn.
"Yes, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and at this time, the Jiaozhi people also jumped out to make trouble!" Lin Zhao said: "The 100,000-strong army of Jiaozhi invaded the southeastern border of our Great Song Dynasty and besieged Yongzhou, and the south is waiting for our western army to go south to quell the rebellion." Under such circumstances, the Great Song Dynasty did not want to continue to fight with Tubo, and intended to negotiate peace! ”
"Haha, it turned out that the Song Kingdom was on fire everywhere and couldn't cope with it, and now you want to ask for peace?" Ali Gu laughed, very proud. If this is the case, the Song Dynasty fought against Western Xia and Jiaozhi at the same time, then there must be a truce with the Tibetan side. Then the people of the Song Dynasty would not dare to hurt themselves, and it was even possible to ......
Ali Gu suddenly realized that this was a chance to escape the cage, but it was just ...... Looking at Lin Zhao's harmless smile, he always felt that there was some conspiracy behind it, which made people a little frightened.
"The emperor handed over this matter to me, and I can only figure out how to do it myself!" Lin Zhao said: "Originally, I was going to send an envoy to Hehuang, but if you think about it carefully, isn't the prince the best intermediary?" I will send someone to send the prince back to Qingtang City, you need to persuade Dong Yu Zampu to cease the war......"
"Aren't you afraid that I will be treacherous again?"
"Is this good for you and for Tibet?" Lin Zhao asked rhetorically, and then said, "I believe that you won't make the same mistake a second time." With your own efforts, coupled with the support and strategy of Da Song, it shouldn't be difficult for the prince to become Zampu! ”
"It's as simple as that?"
"What else?" Lin Zhao said: "Of course, you can think that I have other tricks, but it doesn't matter. I'm going to have to let you go anyway, that's for sure. ”
"Really?" Ali Gu looked at Lin Zhao, still full of suspicion, happiness came too suddenly, everything was too unexpected, it was hard to believe.
"Actually, why should I use you as a bargaining chip to negotiate conditions with Dong Yu!" Lin Zhao said: "But it's too much time to bargain like this, besides, I'm afraid that the prince is not worth anything, then I will lose!" Simply, it's better to let you go back directly, show my sincerity, and then negotiate with your country, I believe Dong Yu Zampu will appreciate it. ”
"Uh......"
The three words "worthless" hurt Ali Gu very much.
"In short, you are free now, whether you go or stay, listen to it!" After speaking, Lin Zhao walked away.
