King of Song

Chapter 583 There are no finished eggs under the nest

How can there be time to meet guests when the fire is imminent?
However, the guest said that there are important matters, and he can solve the prince's worries.With deep impatience in Lin Bubi's arms, he received the visitor. He was originally frowning, but when he sent the guest away, he was already smiling.

It's time to come, if you want to sleep, send a pillow!
Lin Bubi hurried out to the palace immediately, with a smile all over his face, and muttered in his mouth: "Ali Gu, this time you are dead!"

When the prince entered the palace, Zanpu Dong Zhan and Qing Yijie Guizhang were discussing who would be stationed in Li Jingcheng.

As everyone thought, the candidates were concentrated between Ali Gu and Lin Bubi. The ministers had this opinion, and Dong Zhan also had the same idea in his heart.

Reliable, this person must be reliable, that is more than half of the troops of Hehuang Tubo, if it is entrusted to someone else, half of the country will be handed over to others.

Not only that, but without Li Jingcheng, how long can Qingtang City last?It was too late for Hehuang Tubo.In normal times, it would be enough to be stationed casually as a general, but now when it is critical, Zanpu's control is already very weak.So Dong felt didn't dare to take risks, only those who were close to him could rest assured.

The two "sons" are undoubtedly the most reliable!
It's just that Aligu or Lin Bu should be compared?The two princes are not in harmony and have been fighting with each other, especially on such an important matter.Let one go, and the other must be dissatisfied, which will further affect unity.The enemy is currently fighting endlessly, what a tragedy!
Qing Yi Jie Gui Zhang now understands how clever Lin Zhao is to put Ali's bone back!

If there is only one prince in Tubo, who stands alone, then everything will be easy to handle!The position of crown prince is certainly attractive, but if Hehuang falls and Tubo perishes, what is the meaning of Zanpu's position?Qing Yijie Guizhang was very helpless, but he couldn't say these words.

It is necessary to take into account the face of the two princes, and more importantly, Zanpu, and there is a huge family behind him.People don't always live for themselves. Everyone has selfishness and worries.

"Zanpu, the two princes have their own merits, so it is really difficult to choose. Besides, Qingtang City defense also needs them, why don't we choose another person to go to Lijing City!" Qing Yijie Guizhang carefully made a suggestion, some things It's not okay to let it go.

"Is there someone in your mind?" Dong felt knew that if Gui Zhang could say that, he must have already had an idea in mind!Although Guizhang didn't say it explicitly, he also expressed euphemistically that the dispute between the two sons made him very embarrassed.

"Yes!"

"who?"

"Wood sign!"

Qing Yijie Guizhang carefully observed the changes in Dong Zhi's expression, and said softly: "Mu Zheng has always been strategic, skilled in the art of war, and has experience in leading troops in battle. You know all of this. Although he used to be a little...but he is Zanpu after all. Your own nephew, the eldest grandson of the former protagonist Luo Zanpu, can take on this role!"

"Is it appropriate for him to go?"

Dong felt's first reaction was doubt, which is human nature, after all, Mu Zheng and Xia felt father and son have always been on the opposite side.It's his own nephew, that's right, it can be said that he was an enemy before!Can Mu Zheng work hard for himself?Not to mention giving him such great power.

Qing Yijie Guizhang said: "Mu Zheng's identity is sensitive, and Zanpu's doubts are justified. However, he is the grandson of Luo Zanpu after all, and now the enemy is facing him. As a Tubo boy, he is a descendant of Zanpu Since then, we should do our best to unite and resist the Song army. Mu Zheng must understand this truth, not to mention that he has now pledged his allegiance to Zanpu, and in extraordinary times, use extraordinary people..."

As far as this point is concerned, Qing Yijie Guizhang didn't continue talking, this is already the bottom line, and it cannot be crossed.Proposing to let Mu Zheng go is also a helpless move after thinking about it.Ali Gu and Lin Bubi fought endlessly, and no one was satisfied with the other. In the current situation, it is no longer an extravagant hope to expect them to be sincerely united.It's just that this kind of balance formed with great difficulty is "very precious", once it is broken, it will cause a lot of trouble.

Since it is difficult to choose, he simply chooses neither of them. Mu Zheng's talent is competent, but his identity is a little sensitive.However, Qing Yijie Guizhang felt that at such a critical moment, as the grandson of Jiao Siluo, Mu Zhengsheng would go all out regardless of the importance of it.The key is whether Zamp is willing to let him go!

It depends on how Zanpu views this knot. In such a critical moment, it is necessary to use extraordinary methods. It is hard to say whether Zanpu has the courage.

Dong felt hesitant. Mu Zheng was his father's grandson, and he was also his own nephew. However, the relationship has not been very good.Even if it is getting better now, it is based on the fact that Hezhou is lost and Mu Zheng is homeless.This nephew is unusual. He is capable and ambitious. The reason why he is docile now is that he has no strength.

If Li Jingcheng and the Tubo army there were handed over to him, no one could predict the consequences.Maybe Mu Zheng will try his best to fight against the enemy in unity as Gui Zhang said.But it is also possible to support the soldiers and stand on their own, or even make some rebellious actions.

He took this risk, even if the possibility was very small, Dong Xing didn't dare to take the risk.At the same time, he had other considerations in his mind, and he couldn't express them in front of Qing Yijie Guizhang.

"Forget it, you're under a lot of pressure here, let Mu Zheng stay and help you!" Dong Xing politely refused.

Qingyi Jieguizhang was slightly disappointed, but she also knew that this was the expected answer!Zamp's decision, he is not qualified to say anything.

"Let Aligu go!" Dong felt silent for a moment before making a decision.

Of the two sons, although Lin Bubi was his own, in terms of military ability, Aligu was far superior to Lin Bubi.Now that the enemy is at hand, it is right to appoint people on their merits.As for Aligu's loyalty, Dong felt believed, after all, there was a feeling of nurturing.Furthermore, his mother and clan members stayed in Qingtang City, so Ali Gu would not dare to do anything excessive.

When Dong felt was speaking, Lin Bubi just walked outside the door. He was a prince, he rushed in, and the guards didn't dare to stop him too much.So I heard the secret words of my father and Gui Zhang.

Let Ali go!
Lin Bu was disappointed when the five words came to his ears.In his father's heart Aligu was always more than himself, and sometimes he even wondered who was his own.It is good that Aligu's military talent is better than his own, but this matter is deeply rooted in a major trust issue.He would rather believe in an adopted son than in his own son, no matter how many reasons there are, it will look grand in Lin Bubi's eyes.

Either way!

Lin Bubi was a little sad, but not disappointed. The trump card in his hand would change the result.

"Father, don't let Ali's bones go!"

Looking at Lin Bubi who barged in, Dong Zhan's eyes were complicated.Qing Yijie Guizhang is helpless, let's see!There was a dispute before the departure, and I really don't know what will happen next?
"Father!" Before Dong Zhan and Qing Yijie Guizhang could say anything, Lin Bubi had already said: "Ali Gu has already betrayed Tubo, he must not be allowed to lead the army!"

"Betrayal?" Dong Zhan and Gui Zhang were a little dazed, where did they start?

"Today, a soldier patrolling the city found a sneaky man outside Su Nan Dangzheng's mansion. After he was captured, he found these!" While speaking, Lin Bubi handed over a parchment!

Qing Yijie Guizhang looked up, and found that it was a letter written by Ali Gu, but the content of this letter was strange, and the preface did not match the afterword, which was very strange.

"what is this……"

"It's nothing at first glance, but if this is the case..." Lin Bubi gestured and said, "The first word in the first sentence, the second word in the second sentence, circled in turn..."

Dong Zhan and Gui Zhang looked at the red circle on the parchment and connected the string of words, their expressions gradually changed and became more and more serious.As high-ranking officials in Tubo, they all know Chinese characters and the general meaning of those words.It was Ali Gu who colluded with Lin Zhaoyou, the chief general of the Song Army, and agreed to break the city together inside and outside!
Aligu rebelled!

This news was like a heavy bomb, which shocked Dong Zhi and Qing Yijie Guizhang's hearts.

Lin Bubi took the opportunity to say: "Think about it, he was clearly captured, but why did the people of the Song Dynasty let him back? He himself said that the people of the Song Dynasty were sincere in the peace talks, but now it seems that the people of the Song Dynasty have no intention of peace talks, so there is no sincerity." Even if the people of the Song Dynasty confuse us, we only need to send an envoy to negotiate.

Ali bone will still be a hostage chip, why should it be put back?How does this benefit the people of the Song Dynasty?Obviously unreasonable! "

There seems to be some truth in saying this, and the return of Aligu seems a bit abnormal.

Lin Bubi continued: "Since this is the case, it is very likely that he has colluded with the people of the Song Dynasty. Let him control the army of Li Jingcheng. The consequences will be disastrous!"

Qing Yijie Guizhang was full of doubts. The reason why Lin Zhao let Ali Bone back was for them to guess a little bit, and it felt obvious.And it has now been revealed that the situation is very bad.Could it be that Lin Zhao had other plans for returning Ali Gu?Gui Zhang shook his head lightly, he definitely didn't think this matter was that complicated, but now it's getting more and more messy.

The most important thing is Ali Gu, he has no reason to betray, but it is not impossible?Moreover, the timing of the secret letter's appearance was a bit too coincidental.Therefore, Qingyi's knotting a ghost chapter is unavoidable. Is there really a problem?
Dong felt was also a little strange. He probably could think of some of Lin Zhao's motives, so he was also a little puzzled. He looked at his son quietly, and asked softly, "Lin Bubi, where did you get this letter? It is indeed Xuncheng. The general found it?"

"That's right, if the father doesn't believe me, he can interrogate himself!" Lin Bubi said, "More than that, the captured spy also confessed that there has always been a connection between Aligu and Lin Zhao. The reason why Song Jun was able to receive the message from the city The information that went out was because among the soldiers who were stationed in Huangshuichuan, there were Aligu's cronies, who communicated with the Song army on the front line..."

"Sure?"

Both Dong Zhan and Qing Yijie Guizhang didn't quite believe it, and it was inevitable that such a thing would be depressing at this juncture.As for Lin Bubi's complaint, they have not responded yet.Such an important matter must be handled with caution.Lin Bubi was a little bit regretful, not being able to win the Ali bone on the spot, which was somewhat of a fly in the ointment!
But he believed that his father had some doubts in his heart.What's more, this matter will be made public sooner or later, what will the subjects think?Even if the father still believes in Aligu, he still has to consider the attitude of his subjects.

Is Aligu still eligible to go to Qingtang City?Regardless of the process, the final result is developing in the direction I expected!
Dong Zhan and Qing Yi are very helpless to form a ghost. The coincidence is too coincidental to be believed.But there are indeed many doubts about Aligu's return. It is impossible to say that there are no doubts in my heart.

The original decision began to waver again, Li Jingcheng's army was really too important, Dong Zhan didn't dare to take any risks.In the final analysis, Ali's bones were not his own, but he was ambitious. In order to ascend the Tubo throne, it was not impossible to collude with the people of the Song Dynasty, and it was really difficult to make a decision.

Coincidentally, another incident happened at this time. Some soldiers who came back from Huangshuichuan said that they accidentally saw Su Nan Dangzheng on the battlefield. He did not die, but was leading the Song army to attack.

This is a very intriguing thing!
Lin Bubi immediately said: "Look, Aligu must have colluded with the people of the Song Dynasty. Su Nan is his younger brother, and when he went to Kegu, he was in contact with the people of the Song Dynasty. Also, the defeat of the Kegu, They said it was caused by Sangji Tsering's recklessness, but now it seems that someone and the people of the Song Dynasty joined forces to make a game!"

Dong Zhan planned to suppress the matter of the secret letter first and keep it secret.But seeing Su Nan Dangzheng on the battlefield, the news immediately spread in the army, and the soldiers also had doubts in their hearts, and many suspicions were concentrated on Ali Gu.

Ali Gu is the real dumb eating coptis, and he knows best whether he has colluded with Song Jun.It was obvious that he was tricked. As for the messenger who was caught, he had never seen it before. Someone must have set up a trap to deal with him.At first he suspected it was Lin Bubi, but when the news came that Su Nandangzheng appeared on the battlefield, he thought that it must be Lin Zhao's handwriting.

Sure enough, it was him, Lin Zhao was too vicious, it was good to let him back, but he came up with so many tricks behind his back.I am a victim, and the whole Hehuang Tubo will also suffer!
Aligu gradually became sober and calm. He had already noticed Lin Zhao's plot and how terrible it was.After this incident, the candidate to go to Li Jingcheng must be Lin Bubi, but it is clear how much he weighs.

This is Lin Zhao's real purpose!
If I had known earlier, I might as well not have come back!Aligu would regret it, so he took the initiative to go to the palace to explain to Zanpu.

Dong Zhi smiled wryly. He also found something abnormal about such a coincidence, and he didn't want to believe it.It's just that there is a trace of suspicion in my heart. Once this thing takes root, it will sprout, which is hard to let go!

Under such circumstances, Dong Zhan might trust Ali Gu and would not deal with him, but he would definitely not let him leave Qingtang City easily, especially not let him control the army.When this incident happened, it was a stimulus to Aligu itself. It was hard to say what he did to protect himself, or because he was afraid of himself!
Out of caution, it is better to go to Lijing City from Lin Bubi.Dong felt a small selfishness in his heart, and he had a premonition that Qingtang City might not be able to hold on.Sending his son to a safe place, perhaps as a father himself, is the last compensation for him.

If Qingtang City is really lost, Lin Bu is not expected to be able to counterattack and recover the lost ground.If you can stick to Li Jingcheng, hold on to the last foundation, and leave a blood inheritance for the Zanpu family, it will be more or less gratifying!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"General, it really is Lin Bubi who went to Qingtang City!" Teacher Zhong came to report happily.

"It seems that the plan in the city is going well!" Lin Zhao smiled, and then told about the secret agent he had arranged to instigate Lin Bubi.

Master Zhong said with a smile: "This trick of alienation is also effective, but if you want to say that it is really clever, it is just right to let Aligu go back!"

"Hey, it's also Tubo's own problem. If Dong Zhan had made the decision to appoint an heir earlier, it wouldn't have happened!" Lin Zhao said, "As for the fight between the two princes, that's right. They don't hesitate to bleed, and they use everything behind their backs, but they forgot a word!"

"What?"

"Under the nest, An has finished her eggs?"

Zhong Shidao chuckled, and said with emotion: "Yeah, seeing that the whole of Hehuang is about to change hands, what's the use of Zanpu's position? It's a pity that the two young princes couldn't understand, and they were still fighting to the death like this." Fight to the end. This matter is also Dong Zhan's fault, and he didn't know how to suppress it, so he acquiesced... Could it be that he is also a fool and was tricked by us?"

"No, it's not easy to deceive him, but once a person is suspicious, he will have more worries in doing things!" Lin Zhao sighed: "Dong Zhan is not as smart and courageous as the character Luo. He didn't control it before, but now even if he finds a problem, he can't control it." What can he do? The trend of the times, he can't change it!"

"Lin Bubi went to Li Jing City. With such an idiot commander, the reinforcements don't have to worry about it. The next step is to siege the city. It's only a matter of time before the city breaks!"

"That's right, but how much time do we have? After the beginning of spring, the snow has melted, and there is no need for sledges, so how can we transport food and grass? War can't last long!" Lin Zhao didn't say everything, he He is more concerned about the situation in Bianjing, he doesn't have much time to spend in Hehuang.

Sometimes it's really evil, worrying about what will happen!
Li Cheng hurried in and said: "General, news from Bianjing, there is something new about the battle between the South and Cochin!"

"How's the situation?" Lin Zhao and Zhong Shidao were looking forward to it, but they were a little nervous.

"South..." Li Cheng hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The day before yesterday, the Jiaozhi army captured Yongzhou, and then massacred the city. Almost all [-] soldiers and civilians were killed. The corpses were thrown into the Yongjiang River, and the river did not flow!"

"what?"

Zhong Shidao was shocked, Yongzhou was massacred, and 6 people died.This is simply the bad news of a thunderbolt from the blue, what a shame!

Lin Zhao was also silent, [-] lives!This was also a huge blow to the Song Dynasty.Maybe things are good for him in the end, but he doesn't have the slightest excitement, only heavy sadness.

After a long time, Lin Zhaocai said: "Attack with all your strength, we must break through the Huangshui River today and surround Qingtang City!"
