At the end of the sentence, Lai Zonghan was already a little excited and his voice became louder: "I gave the king three strategies: upper, middle and lower. He didn't choose any of them, but he chose the lowest one. He went his own way and couldn't do it.

Listen to good advice, from beginning to end, he was led by the Liao Dynasty, hesitant, so many opportunities were wasted, so many choices, he had to choose a dead end, I hate it."

Anka Ponggan was stunned by what Lai Zonghan said, and said in surprise: "This is the first time I have heard what you said. Why haven't I heard it from you before, nor from the king?"

Lai Zonghan took a few deep breaths before calming down. He looked at Anka Ponggan and said coldly: "You have been with him for so long and you still don't know his character?"

Anka Pongan was silent, and Gewa looked humble and respectful, and was extremely courteous to talented people, but that was just the surface. He did not dare to be presumptuous before he obtained absolute rights. In fact, Gewa's character

He is very strong-willed, self-willed, and arbitrary in everything he does. It is extremely difficult for outsiders to change the things and ideas he decides on.

After being silent for a while, Anka Ponggan sighed: "We have an absolute advantage in Longyou. It doesn't really matter whether we have the help of the Liao Dynasty or not. I really can't figure it out. Your Majesty has always been decisive in doing things. Regarding your suggestions, sir,

I also attach great importance to it, why have you become so hesitant and hesitant this time?"

Lai Zonghan said coldly: "That's because he is afraid."

Fear?

Anka Ponggan was stunned for a moment and said in confusion: "With the king's current power and status, what can make him afraid?"

Lai Zonghan laughed loudly: "Power and status are only relative, not absolute, and they cannot last forever. How did the king obtain his current status and power? It was through killing and coercion. There are only a few people who truly obey him.

, the majority of people have disloyal intentions. The reason why he stayed in the state and refused to take further action, and even sent envoys to the Liao Dynasty again and again, hoping to get help from the Hu people, was because he did not

He dared to go too far, because he was afraid that if he went too far, the military power would be separated and he would never be able to come back. The reason why he decisively sent troops to the west of Longyou now was because the Liao Dynasty promised to send troops to help, but it was all in vain.

Placing hope on others can only be an illusion."

Anka Ponggan pursed his lips and was a little shocked by Lai Zonghan's words. Is this true? He couldn't help but think that the 200,000 troops accompanying Gewa in the expedition to the west of Longyou were composed of the major forces of Tubo.

, and the more than 100,000 Guards troops who stayed in Zhouzhou, Liangzhou, Shanzhou and other places were Gewa's real trusted direct troops.

Everyone was blinded by the glorious victory, and could only think of the good side and look forward to a more glorious future. It was not until he heard Lai Zonghan's words that Anka Pongqian finally had some enlightenment and aftertaste.

Following the progress of the war and recent events, Anka Pongqian's thoughts finally entered another level. After Gewa captured Liangzhou and Zhouzhou with a strange trick, behind the glorious victory, there was indeed confusion.

For nearly ten days, Gewa did not make any plans for his next move. Hundreds of thousands of Tibetan troops remained stranded in Longyou North Road. Although they fought with Li Xun's tens of thousands of Jin Dynasty troops on the Langzhou line,

Tubo was defeated in several wars, but that could not shake or change the overall situation of Longyou North Road. It was just a small wave in the sea. In fact, Gewa did not do anything at all, he still did it

Two things, one was to send envoys to the Liao Dynasty for the second time to negotiate alliance matters, and the other was to send another group of envoys to Fengjing to ask the Jin Dynasty to cede the land of the seven states in the west of Longyou.

What happens in the end?

The Liao Dynasty once again rejected the alliance with Tubo. Although the envoys sent to Fengjing did not send back any news, from the rapid arrival of Li Zhong's army in Huizhou, one can already imagine the attitude of the Jin Dynasty.

Lai Zonghan once told Anka Ponggan that the Liao Dynasty refused to form an alliance with Tubo out of consideration of the interests of the entire country and the current environment. Unless Tubo could enter the pass and disrupt the entire Jin Dynasty, even if Tubo conquered

Anbei, and then surrendered Anbei. At most, the Liao Dynasty would accept the Anbei area completely, and that was it. They would never send troops south. Therefore, Gewa hoped to form an alliance with the Liao Dynasty and let the Liao Dynasty send troops.

The wish was impossible to achieve. Although the Liao Dynasty later sent envoys to express its full support for Tubo in conquering the western part of Longyou, the support was extremely limited. It only sent troops to the Anbei border to blackmail Anbei and be unable to send troops to Liangzhou.

, that's all. After all, the Liao Dynasty's army still will not set foot in Longyou territory. What is the reason why they changed their attitude and gave Tibet certain support? It is just that they have understood the attitude of the Jin Dynasty.

That is to never compromise. In this case, why not add fuel to the fire and watch the fierce battle between Tibet and the Jin Dynasty, so that the Liao Dynasty can reap the benefits?

As for the Jin Dynasty sending troops to Longyou very simply, the reason is even simpler. Anbei is still there and the Liao Dynasty cannot go south, so the battle in Longyou is just a matter between Tubo and Jin Dynasty. A loss is not too big.

After a big defeat, you want me to cede the seven western states of Longyou, maybe?

Now I carefully recall that Lai Zonghan said that Gewa was hesitant and hesitant because he did not dare to delegate power easily. It does make sense. There are at least 50,000 Jin troops in the west of Longyou. Without more than three times the strength, it may be difficult to win.

But it is equivalent to half of the total force of Tubo in the invasion of Longyou. Who should be sent to make the decision? I am afraid that Gewa is not worried about who to send. Anka Ponggan knows very well that Gewa does not believe anyone except himself. The fact is like Lai Zonghan

As he said, after the 50,000 follow-up elite Guards arrived, Gewa left all his direct troops in Zhou and Shanzhou, and handed them over to his younger brother Gewa Jiji to command, and then unified more than 200,000 Filipino troops.

The direct army, led by Gewa himself, began to conquer the west of Longyou.

After thinking about many things, Anka Pongqian looked at Lai Zonghan and found that he had his head lowered and was also lost in thought.

"There are only 50,000 Jin troops in the western part of Longyou, while the king has 200,000 troops. Our strength is four times that of the other side. It is still very possible to capture the western part of Longyou."

Lai Zonghan raised his head, looked at Anka Ponggan, and said silently: "Most of the victory in a war depends on time and space. Previously, these two factors were in our hands, but we did not cherish them. Now Shanzhou's 20,000 Jin

The Jin army successfully broke through. In the entire west of Longyou, the Jin army's strength reached 50,000. If they defend Xiaogu County, we still have a chance, but what will be the result? The Jin army took the initiative to retreat. I dare to conclude that the Jin army will retreat to the end.

, Throw Suzhou, Ganzhou, Guazhou, Minzhou, Shazhou and Xiazhou all to Gewa. In this way, space and time will be in the hands of the other party. Gewa has an army of 200,000 in Xiaozhou.

Guxian lost nearly 30,000 people, and occupied the six states in the west of Longyou except Wuzhou. Naturally, he had to send troops to garrison them. As a result, his troops to attack Wuzhou were only 150,000 at most, and the Jin army had four
