Li Qinzai has never been afraid to admit the mistakes he has made, and mistakes are mistakes, and there is no need to make excuses.

The traverser is not a perfect saint, there will always be times when he makes mistakes, admit when he is wrong, reflect on it after admitting it, and correct it after reflection, how normal it is.

After deep introspection, Lee made a conclusion.

"There are fewer people!" Li Qinzai sighed.

With only a thousand men, it was easy for an assassin to sneak in front of him and use his sword, but what if he brought 10,000 horses? When the assassins mixed into the front military formation, it was almost time to show their stuff, and it was impossible for them to enter the Chinese military tent.

So there is a line in a movie in later generations that still makes sense, "When you come out to mix, it all depends on the brothers." ”

"Suddenly, I really want to be a general, and run around with thousands of troops tied to my belt," Li Qinzai said gloomily, "and it also saves me from being chased by a few assassins and running away in embarrassment, completely ignoring my feelings and decent ......."

Thinking about the appearance of holding his head and running around just now, Li Qinzai suddenly felt faceless, and his calm and gentle character who had been operating in front of the subordinates for many years collapsed instantly.

After secretly feeling sad for a while, Li Qinzai asked again: "Have you ever asked why the Tubo people want to assassinate me?" ”

Liu Asi said: "The Tubo people have eyeliner in Chang'an, and the news that Your Majesty has named you an envoy of the Tang Dynasty will be known on the same day as the Tubo eyeliner, and after the 800-mile fast horse was reported to Tubo, the Tubo people reacted immediately. ”

The corners of Li Qinzai's mouth hooked: "Kill the envoys of the Tang Dynasty and blame Tuyuhun?" ”

"That's about it, it doesn't matter if you can blame Tuyuhun or not, the important thing is that the Tang envoys can't reach Tuyuhun safely."

"At this time, the two countries are at war, and the Tubo army is like a bamboo, and it will not be long before the entire territory of Tuyuhun will be occupied, and they don't want a Tang envoy to suddenly appear to disrupt their plans."

Li Qinzai thought thoughtfully: "If the envoy of the Tang Dynasty dies on the way, at least two months have passed since Chang'an got the news and sent a new envoy, and in the past two months, Tubo has done too much." ”

"That's right, this is the reason why Tubo wants to assassinate you, Wu Shaolang wants to delay time for the Tang Dynasty, while the Tubo people want to buy time for themselves."

Li Qinzai was silent for a moment and said, "This assassination was very precise and meticulous, they almost succeeded, have you ever asked who planned it behind the scenes?" ”

Liu Asi said in a low voice: "Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan personally planned. ”

Li Qinzai nodded: "No wonder, this heel is not wronged......"

Needless to say, Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan is a character, a big man who has left a name in the history books.

Songtsen Gampo has his credit for unifying all the Tibetan tribes, and his clever political skills and rejuvenation policy have made a weak plateau country slowly become strong, so strong that even the Tang Dynasty has to be afraid of three points, including Lu Dongzan's full assistance.

The harmony between Songtsen Gampo and Princess Wencheng was promoted by him, and the annexation of Tuyuhun was his plan, including the future war with the Tang Dynasty, which was also led by him.

Although Lee Qinjae and Lu Dongzan are hostile, it cannot be denied that this is a tricky and intelligent enemy.

Li Qinzai suddenly laughed: "Being able to fight with Lu Dongzan is also a happy thing in life!" Haha, tonight should be a drink to celebrate the rest of my life. ”

A person who does not belong to this world, but has the opportunity to weigh the heroes of this era, is indeed a happy life, and winning or losing will live up to this life.

"Fifth Young Lang, should we continue westward next?" Liu Asi asked.

Li Qinzai thought for a while and said, "The itinerary remains the same, and we will continue to rush tomorrow." My battlefield with him is not here, not at this time, but in Tuyuhun. ”

…………

According to the administrative division of later generations, Tuyuhun belongs to the combination of Xinjiang, Qinghai and Gansu, and is now the Tuyuhun Khanate.

Although it borders with the Tang Dynasty, and the successive lords of the country have respected the Tang Dynasty as the suzerain, the Tuyuhun Khans of the past dynasties are not good at stubble, their biggest characteristic is that they are good at the left and right, no one can be offended, but they are not easy to stand on anyone's side.

When the Turks were strong, Tuyuhun wavered between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, and later the Turks were destroyed by Li Jing, and the Tang Dynasty rose.

Later, Tubo also rose, so Tuyuhun courted Tubo again, and when there was a conflict between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, Tuyuhun immediately pretended to be deaf and dumb.

Occasionally, he also sent tribal young men to raid the border of the Tang Dynasty and rob the money and population, and after being questioned by the Tang Dynasty, Tuyuhun Khan immediately admitted his mistake in fear, admitted his mistake and did not change, and continued to loot after being honest for a while.

Tuyuhun is such a cheeky hob meat, the kind of street slick and little ruffian who Datang is afraid of dirty hands when he beats him.

For Datang, Tubo and Tuyuhun are not good things, it stands to reason that when these two countries fight, Datang will only clap their hands and applaud, and they can't wait for both sides to play their brains.

It's a pity that the geographical location of Tuyuhun is too important, it chokes the throat of the Silk Road, and it is the only passage connecting the Central Plains and the Western Regions.

For no other reason, this piece of land that chokes the throat of the Silk Road is in the hands of Tuyuhun, which is far stronger than in the hands of Tubo, if it falls into the hands of Tubo, then it will become an outpost for Tubo to attack the Tang Dynasty in the future, and at the same time, Datang will soon lose the vast land in the Western Regions.

Li Qinzai's mission this time is to solve this big trouble for Li Zhi, Tubo must withdraw its troops, Tuyuhun is best in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, and the Silk Road must remain unimpeded.

Of course, don't worry about the blonde orchid Li Zhi, if Li Qinzai dares to offer, presumably the martial queen will definitely throw them into the well one by one, and finally throw Li Qinzai, the culprit, into the well.

After the assassination, Li Qinzai ordered to speed up the journey.

From Lanzhou to Liangzhou, more than 1,000 people rode horses and galloped, and about five days later, Li Qinzai finally arrived in Liangzhou City.

Before entering the city, there were scouts who entered the city in advance to inform Pei Shen, the assassin of Liangzhou, and when Li Qinzai and more than 1,000 forbidden troops arrived outside the city of Liangzhou, Pei Shen led the officials of the assassin's mansion to stand outside the city gate to greet him.

The group dismounted outside the city gate, Pei Shen and the officials came forward to salute, Li Qin remembered the Tuyuhun war, and did not greet him after returning the salute, and said straight to the point: "How is the Tuyuhun war?" ”

Pei Shen is a middle-aged man in his forties, but his temples are gray, and he doesn't know if he was born with less white head or because he was worried about the Tuyuhun war.

When Pei Shen heard this, he immediately said: "The combat strength of the Tuyuhun army is not as good as that of Tubo, and it is retreating to the east, and more than ten cities in the country are occupied by the Tubo army. ”

"Can Liangzhou City send troops?"

Pei Shen hurriedly said: "Without the order of Chang'an, the lower officials did not dare to act rashly, and the Tang Dynasty King Division did not mobilize a single soldier, but only sent dozens of teams of scouts to investigate the military situation." ”
