Chapter 236: The Last Hope

"Great Minister, Great Prime Minister spare his life......" Seeing that Garqinling was about to kill him, he was immediately frightened and begged for mercy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, the Garqin Mausoleum was expressionless, and still ordered people to push it out.

Seeing that his life was hopeless, his heart was crossed, and he shouted: "Garqinling, today I was defeated and beheaded by you, but what about you? Aren't you also defeated? How many men and horses did the army lose from Shancheng City? Not much less than me, right? And last time, 400,000 troops died at the hands of Li Xian, if I should die, then how many times should you die? ”

"Wait." Garqinling waved his hand and ordered someone to push Koji Mangbuzhi back, then squinted his eyes and said coldly: "What did you just say? Climbing the true picture, yes and no? ”

"This, this ......" Under the fierce power of the Garqin Mausoleum, Koji Mangbuzhi suddenly felt a little cowardly, but as soon as he thought that he was going to die anyway, why not say a happy one? So he immediately raised his head and said loudly, "How is it?" Isn't that what I said? You have fought two battles, lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and even killed your three younger brothers, how much responsibility should you bear? Even if I lose the four towns of Hexi and Wuhai City in defeat, how can this kind of defeat compare to you? What's more, send me to attack the Western Regions, but the prime minister you personally nodded, mobilized the main force of Wuhai City to seize the four towns of Anxi, and you forced me to go, I said at the time, I asked to lead a heavy army to defend Wuhai, but it was opposed by you, and now Tang Man has captured Wuhai, and with Wuhai Jiancheng to hold on, gradually turn defeat into victory and defeat me, but you blame me in turn, you say, should I bear the responsibility for this defeat or should you bear it? If you kill me, will you be able to block the mouths of the people of the world? ”

At this time, I suddenly heard Su Hegui, the general under the Garqin Mausoleum, shouting: "Bold, dare to be so rude to the prime minister, aren't you afraid that your whole family will be killed?" If you don't quickly kowtow to the prime minister and confess your guilt, you may be able to save your family's life. ”

Su Hegui was originally a Tuyuhun nobleman, and later took refuge in Tubo and served as a general under the command of Garqinling, but after all, he was a surrenderer, so he had a good relationship with the generals on weekdays, and used his advantages in Garqinling to help others as much as possible.

However, Koji Mangbuzhi did not understand Su Hegui's intentions, but snorted coldly, and sneered at each other: "Su Hegui, you are just a traitor to Tuyuhun, a bereaved dog-like existence, how dare you scold me here?" Do you have a say here? ”

"You, you, are simply incomprehensible." Su Hegui had a kind heart, but in exchange for such ridicule from the other party, his face was full of shame, and at the same time, he was also angry in his heart, so he simply closed his eyes and stopped caring about this matter.

At this time, the Garqin Mausoleum let out a long sigh when he heard this.

What Koji Mangbu said was right, it was indeed he who forcibly ordered Koji Mangbu to send troops to attack the four towns of Anxi, because at that time the allies of the Turks were also rapidly marching towards the four towns of Anxi, and he had to find a way to occupy the four towns of Anxi before the Turks, because this is the place where the Silk Road must pass, not only the place where soldiers must fight, but also the most important channel for the Tang Dynasty to connect with the western countries.

And he was also confident that he would be able to take Shancheng before the Tang army arrived, and as long as Shancheng was taken, this battle would indicate victory, and from then on the headache would be the Tang Dynasty, but where did he think that Li Xian's army came so quickly, and defeated his fifth brother as soon as he came up, and followed the defeated army into his own camp, forcing his army to choose to retreat.

And after that, Li Xian took the lead step by step with the first-mover advantage, forcing himself to this point little by little.

"Things are indeed as Koji Mang Buzhi said, if you say that you want to bear the responsibility for the defeat, I should bear the main responsibility, and Koji Mang Buzhi is just a general who acts according to my orders, if I wasn't too impatient, first stick to Wuhai City, and then slowly plot against the four towns of Anxi, or there will be no current situation, and also, Koji Mang Buzhi can't blame himself for this defeat, it's all to blame that Wang Fangyi is too cunning, and he actually made such a realistic deception, don't say it's him, even I can't be fooled, alas, Datang is capable of producing many people, and I really underestimate the heroes of the world. ”

Thinking of this, Garqinling sighed softly: "Let him go." ”

"Huh? Me, can I not die? Although Koji Mangbuzhi said wildly before, it was actually the instinct of survival that forced him to struggle, but now he really heard that Garqinling wanted to spare himself, but he was also a little incredulous, and hurriedly looked at Garqinling in surprise, and saw that the other party nodded, so he immediately knelt on the ground and thanked Garqinling for his life-sparing grace: "Thank you for the kindness of the Prime Minister, spare the life of the last general, and the last general will swear allegiance to the great minister." ”

"Hehe, get up." Garqinling helped up the Koji Mang Buzhi, and then sighed softly: "In the future, remember to fight with your heart, and make more contributions to me in Tubo, and I spared your life, not because I coveted your repayment, but because I have not many real generals in Tubo, if I kill you, it will definitely be a matter of relatives and enemies." ”

"Yes, yes, the prime minister can rest assured, the last general will fight with his heart in the future, and will never disappoint the expectations of the prime minister." Koji Mangbu nodded again and again, nodding more than once like a chicken pecking rice, and then saw Su Hegui's embarrassed expression, and hurriedly apologized to him with a smile: "Brother Su, the little brother has just been blinded by lard, he doesn't know what to do, and he is full of nonsense, you don't want to be like the little brother, after this battle, the little brother must apologize." ”

"That's it." Su Hegui nodded and said: "You are also messing up at the moment of life and death, now that you sincerely apologize, if I care, wouldn't I have no grace?" It's just that your defeat is not good, brother, and the current situation of the prime minister is not good. ”

But he heard Garqinling sigh softly: "What are you talking about? This time, we lost the entire four towns of Anxi and the important land of Wuhai City, and the entire Tuyuhun was left with three surrendered cities and the important land of Dafeichuan, but if the reinforcements did not arrive, I am afraid that we would not even be able to hold this point, alas, this time we sent out an army of 300,000, if we add the Turkic allies, the army is nearly 400,000, if we lose again, I am afraid that there will be no hope of plotting Anxi for the rest of my life. This is my last hope, and I can't afford to lose it. (To be continued.) )
