King of Song

Chapter 574
Aligu finally left!
He was hesitant at first, but Lin Zhao gave him enough time to think about it.Not long after, in less than a day, Ali Gu made a decision.

Go, must go, back to Hehuang!

Although Ali Gu vaguely felt that Lin Zhao was uneasy and kind, but so what?He didn't dare to think too much.At least this thing doesn't seem to do me any harm.This is a rare opportunity. If you don't leave, will you have to live this kind of life as a prisoner?

Among other things, this silent torture alone is enough to drive people crazy.The Han people have a saying, if you stay in the green hills, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood, you must leave here, and everything will be possible.

Life, glory, wealth, future, and previous ambitions made him want to move, and he couldn't resist the temptation that was coming, or it was the instinct of greed in life.

And all of this is based on leaving this ghost place and returning to Tubo.Lin Zhao has a conspiracy?Perhaps I am paranoid!
If Xixia and Jiaozhi really invaded the Song Dynasty, then it is not surprising that the Song Dynasty and Tubo ceased war, and there can be a reasonable explanation.As for these news, it is easy to find out, Lin Zhao can't deceive himself, and there is no need for it.Then it seemed logical for him to let himself go back and express his sincerity to Tubo.

The Song Dynasty meant that they wanted to preserve the results of the battle as much as possible, which is in line with common sense.As for what Lin Zhao said about being worthless, Ali Gu didn't want to admit it, but he didn't have the confidence to deny it!It is precisely because of this that he has a more urgent idea to return to Tibet as soon as possible.

As for Lin Zhao's claim of promoting the truce between the Song Dynasty and Tubo, Ali Gu sneered in his heart. Of course, there is no problem with the current truce.But when your western army goes south to fight with each other and fights hard with Xixia, then that's another story.Kegu Hehuang belonged, and Hezhou belonged to Tubo, so how could it be so easily handed over to the people of the Song Dynasty?
The snow is still falling, and the road is a bit difficult, but Aligu is returning home like an arrow.Declining Lin Zhaowan's offer of entertainment, he took dozens of captured Tubo soldiers and left in the snow.

He is eager to leave this ghostly place, and at the same time, he is also worried that Lin Zhao will suddenly change his mind and have the opportunity to leave. Does he still care about the snowstorm?
Seeing Ali Gu's back in the distance, Zhong Shidao was puzzled and said, "Brother Dongyang, why did you let him go? This is letting the tiger go back to the mountain. Why tell him the truth about Xixia and Jiaozhi?"

"Zhuge Kongming caught Meng Huo, but why did he let him go?" Lin Zhao asked back with a smile.

"Playing hard to get?" Mr. Zhong said puzzled, "But brother Dongyang doesn't seem to want to recover Ali's bone!"

"This man is too ambitious to take back, and I never thought about it!" Lin Zhao said leisurely: "But he is not Dong Zhan's biological son after all, and it is not of much use to keep him, and he can't threaten Dong Zhan. But this kid is quite If we win the hearts of the army and the people, if we kill him, it will make Tubo unite and fight against the enemy. What good will it do us? It's better to let him go!"

"Brother Dongyang wants him to..." Zhong Shidao seemed to understand something.

Lin Zhao smiled and said, "That's right, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. If he goes back, some people will be very upset!"

"He... is still too young. How can he be considered a tiger? At best, he is just a cat, or a three-legged cat that was played by brother Dongyang on top of applause!" Zhong Shidao already understood, and said with a smile: "You deliberately revealed the news to me. He also wants to borrow his mouth..."

"That's right, I don't know how much effect it will have." Lin Zhaodao: "Actually, if Ali Gu calms down and thinks carefully, he may not be unable to discover my intentions, but his desire to leave is too urgent. The ambition is too great. , Selfish desires are too heavy, it is inevitable to be lucky, and even paralyzed. This effect is what he wants, and he may be better than Dong Zhan's own Lin Bubi, but he is far worse than Qing Yijie Guizhang."

"Hmph, this move is wonderful, playing hard to get, Ali Gu still can't escape Brother Dongyang's palm after all!"

"It's not just him, but the whole of Hehuang!" Lin Zhao's eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Have you prepared all the sledges?"

"Don't worry, I'll order the craftsmen to start making it after I come back!" Zhong Dao replied, "The workmanship is not exquisite, it is much stronger than the simple sled last time, and it is also smoother, and the speed must be faster!"

"Well, with this thing, the snow will not be able to trap us! Let's prepare food and grass, it's almost time to do it!" Lin Zhao looked at the lead-clouded sky in the west, and subconsciously clenched the handle of the knife.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After a difficult trek, Aligu finally returned to Tubo.

On the way, they met the Tubo garrison waiting in full battle. When they saw the prince's return, none of them dared to neglect.Aligu has a high prestige in the Tubo army, and Mrs. Qiao also likes him, so she treats him more politely.

During this time, Prince Ali Gu was captured, and the soldiers and the people were very anxious and worried when they heard about it.Zanpu also missed his adopted son, and Mrs. Qiao was even worried that her grandson would not be able to eat.Therefore, when the soldiers saw the living Ali bones, they were naturally very excited, and immediately reported the news to Qingtang City.

A few days later, someone rushed to meet him, and it was Ali Gu's younger brother Su Nan Dangzheng.

"Brother, you're finally back!" After all, it was his own brother, Su Nan was so excited when he saw Ali Gu that he was on the verge of tears.

"It's okay, it's fine when you're back, don't worry!" Ali Gu was also quite moved in his heart, no matter what, brotherly love is deep, and in the most critical time, it is more reliable to be a real brother.

"It's good to come back, otherwise my brothers and I have no backbone!" Su Nan was the most excited when his brother was away, his heart was never stable.

"What's the situation in Qingtang City?" Ali Gu calmed down after getting excited. There are too many things he has to face next, and there is no room for sloppy.

Su Nan said rightly: "Brother and Qing Yijie Guizhang were defeated in the east, the whole Qingtang City was shaken, but now it has gradually settled down. Especially after Qing Yijie Guizhang came back, It is basically stable, but everyone is worried about whether the people of the Song Dynasty will continue to attack, so there is still some panic."

"Qingyi is back with a ghost chapter?" Aligu asked, "How did Zanpu deal with him?"

"No disposal!"

"There is no disposal? How is it possible?" Ali Gu was suddenly surprised. In his opinion, this is impossible.After all, he is the general of the defeated army, and Tubo has always given clear rewards and punishments.

Su Nan said rightly: "When I came back, Qing Yijie Guizhang did take the initiative to plead guilty, but Zanpu not only did not punish him, but even reused him even more. Now he is responsible for the defense of the entire Qingtang City."

"There is no punishment, but it is reused even more, hmph!" Ali Gu muttered to himself: "It seems that Zanpu really favors him, Guizhang is so lucky."

"Yeah, everyone said that, not to mention the defeat, lost so much land, and lost [-] troops, Zanpu actually laughed it off, and still reused him, it's really too much." Su Nan said Zheng said: "Many people are a little dissatisfied, but Zanpu trusts him and reuses him, so even if he is dissatisfied, there is nothing he can do!"

"It's okay, it's not a bad thing, at least it's a good thing for me!" Ali Gu smiled and said, "Although the ghost badge is so heavily used, it's not good to have military power, but with his precedent, Zanpu will naturally not blame me Yes. He lost 2 people, and I lost only 5000 people. He didn't punish him, so I will be fine."

"That's true!" Su Nandangzheng immediately excitedly said: "Now is the critical moment. If you want to serve the soldiers in the army, you need to be rewarded and punished clearly, so Zanpu will not blame the eldest brother, and reappointment is also very possible. On occasion."

"What's Gui Zhang's attitude? What do you think of me?" Ali Gu is like a frightened bird now. Before returning to Qingtang City, he must understand everyone's attitude as much as possible so that he can deal with it calmly.

"No, Guizhang has been keeping a low profile since he came back, and he just focuses on training soldiers and strengthening the city's defenses every day." Su Nan said: "He just said that the people of the Song Dynasty will definitely attack, so we must be serious! "

"That's it!" Ali Gu nodded lightly, thinking about it carefully, the most difficult person to deal with in Qingtang City might be Gui Zhang.Then he asked again, "What about Lin Bubi?"

"The worst thing is this guy!"

"What?" It was expected, but seeing Su Nan's hateful expression, Aligu still felt uneasy.

"The news that brother was trapped in the enemy's camp came back, and this kid gloated. It is said that after returning home, he drank to his heart's content and celebrated wantonly." Su Nan said seriously: "A minister proposed to find a way to rescue brother, but he secretly obstructed."

"Of course he doesn't want me to come back, but now, I'm afraid he will be disappointed!" Ali Gu smiled coldly, and strong hatred emerged from the corner of his mouth.

"That's right, that kid is an idiot, and he is far behind brother." Su Nan said indignantly: "During this time, seeing that brother is not around, he has been thinking of ways to eat away at our strength! If it wasn't for the imminent battle, he wouldn't dare to make it too obvious, I'm afraid we can't stand it anymore. But now, brother is back, it will be completely different."

"That's natural!"

In fact, Tubo in Hehuang is not completely monolithic, and there are also different factions and forces.In addition to gathering in tribes, they also gather in families.

Both Ali Gu and Su Nan Dangzheng are top-notch generals with powerful family forces behind them. In addition, they have been in business for many years and have many supporters.This is Ali Gu's capital, if not, how can he compete with Lin Bu as an adopted son?
Now that he has returned to Hehuang, the foundation of his foothold is also the power of the family.But by coincidence, Lin Zhao also stared at this point.
