Chapter 505: Stubbornness and Internal Change (IX)
As soon as Zhang Zheng left the gate, Anka Ponggan immediately pressed the hilt of his knife and stood up to chase after him.
"return."
Lai Zonghan shouted in a deep voice.
Anka Pongqian turned around and looked at Lai Zonghan, puzzled and said: "This person has betrayed the king. I should kill him to avoid future troubles. If nothing happens, I will lock him up. Otherwise, what will happen to you and me if today's incident spreads out?"
Explained clearly?"
"If you don't tell me, if I don't tell you, who will know?"
Lai Zonghan said coldly: "Zhang Zheng is not a person, but a group. Killing him will not solve any problems. On the contrary, it will speed up the other party's actions and put you and me in a more dangerous situation. If he is detained, things will be even worse.
Think about it, the king already doesn’t trust you. Zhang Zheng didn’t look for anyone, so why did he just look for you and me? No one can explain clearly then. Therefore, even if you hand the person over to the king, you will only
It will deepen the king’s suspicion of you and me.”
Anka Pongan pursed his lips, put down the hand holding the handle of the knife, and had a wry smile on his face: "I am loyal to the king and have never had any dissent."
Lai Zonghan glanced at Anka Pongan and still said coldly: "This is just your idea. I'm afraid the king will not think so."
After saying that, Lai Zonghan stood up and walked back and forth in the room, his brows furrowed and his face gloomy.
Zhang Zheng did not say anything outrageous from beginning to end. He just said that Gewa Xingchi admired Lai Zonghan and Anka Ponggan very much and hoped to get closer to him. Gewa regarded Gewa Xingchi as a thorn in his side and wanted to get rid of them quickly.
The conflict between the two of them is well known to everyone, and Anka Ponggan and Lai Zonghan are close confidants of Gewa. Gewa decided to win over them at this time. Although he did not explain it late at night, his intention was already obvious, that is, he wanted to take advantage of the situation.
With Gewa to conquer the western part of the Longyou Road and having no time to take care of the North Longyou Road, we must make a big move.
Anka Ponggan thought of these things, and Lai Zonghan naturally thought of them too, but he thought of more, further, and deeper.
Looking at the overall situation of the internal struggle and contradictions in Tubo, Gewa is in charge of the power and the family is the only one. With him suppressing it, it seems calm on the surface, but secretly it is extremely dangerous. No matter whether this battle of Longyou is won or lost,
The first thing Gewa will do when he returns to the country is probably to carry out the second large-scale purge. Gewa Xingchi and Zampni Songkunshi will definitely bear the brunt. It will be difficult to escape. Now Gewa is leading the troops.
As they set off for the expedition, they could not take care of the rear for the time being. At this time, Zhang Zheng came with the intention of winning over two of Gewa's confidants. This already showed that Gewa Xingchi would never sit still and was ready to give it a go. What Lai Zonghan thought of now was that Gewa Xingchi and Gewa Xingchi
Nisson and Hunshi may have formed an alliance at this time and are preparing to deal with Gewa. [!ABC Novel Network !@fastest update]
This is thinking from a deeper level. If we think from a further direction, a name can't help but appear in Lai Zonghan's mind, Li Zhong.
In the first battle of Longyou, Cai Cheng rebelled and deceived the gate of Duanlongbao. In the second battle of Longyou, Cai Cheng rebelled against the Jin Dynasty again. Afterwards, according to him, Li Zhong had already made plans long ago.
There were many Han traitors in Tubo, and some of them were already in high positions. Lai Zonghan couldn't help but wonder, could Zhang Zheng be one of them?
If Zhang Zheng and Li Zhong are also connected, then the matter will be even more complicated.
Lai Zonghan is very sincere to Gewa, but this sincerity is not absolute. Between his own life and sincerity, Lai Zonghan will choose the former. He will not give up the lives of himself and his family of more than 60 people for a sincere heart.
From Lai Zonghan's point of view, Gewa has deviated from the development direction he set for him. As the battle of Longyou has developed so far, Gewa has lost the opportunity. If he leads his army to retreat immediately, all worries will naturally disappear.
However, Gewa got deeper and deeper and went to the west of Longyou. After Li Zhong arrived, there was no action for more than ten days. Everyone thought it was because the state had heavy troops and Li Zhong did not
Dare to act rashly, but Lai Zonghan knew very well who Li Zhong was. He had been in charge of the army for more than 20 years and had never lost a battle? How could he sit back and watch the gains and losses in the west of Longyou and the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of Jin troops and hundreds of thousands of people?
?
Since Li Zhong can hold back his anger and ignore the gains and losses in the west of Longyou, it can only mean that he already has a way to deal with Tubo. Combined with the arrival of Zhang Zheng now, the whole story has become very obvious. Li Zhong, Ge Wa
Xing Mochi and Nisong Mingshi may have already been connected. If this is the case, Gewa will be really in danger.
After pondering for a long time, Lai Zonghan's chaotic eyes began to become clear, and he had a general understanding of the depth and origin of the whole matter.
Lai Zonghan was silent for a long time. Anka Ponggan could no longer hold his breath and asked in a deep voice: "You can't kill, you can't catch, so don't you care about anything?"
Lai Zonghan looked at Anka Ponggan and said softly: "Don't rush if you don't know. If they don't move, we won't move for the time being. It doesn't matter if we wait for a few days. You still have 10,000 soldiers and horses in hand, so you must be careful."
, with these soldiers and horses, no matter what happens, you and I will at least have the ability to protect ourselves."
Anka Pongan frowned and thought for a moment, then finally nodded and obeyed Lai Zonghan's opinion.
In the evening, two letters were delivered to Broken Dragon Castle one after another.
One letter was written by Anka, Anka Ponggan's father. Just one thing: Anka Ponggan's sister, Gewa's second wife, died suddenly six days ago. The cause of death is unknown, but comprehensively she
The conflict with Gewa's wife was most likely caused by her murder. Although Anka did not mention Gewa in the entire letter, his tone was extremely resentful and angry.
Another letter was written by one of Gewa's generals. Lai Zonghan had been with Gewa for so many years, and he deliberately wanted to win over and make friends with him, so he had a good relationship with many of Gewa's generals. Although Lai Zonghan is now somewhat alienated by Gewa.
, but this relationship still exists. The general mentioned one thing in his letter. He did not participate in the Battle of Longyou, but was stationed in the country. Five days ago, Gewa ordered him to lead his 20,000 troops.
The horse entered the Western Region from Dulang Mountain, crossed the Mulang River, and attacked Wu'an City from behind.
This general admired Lai Zonghan very much. In his opinion, this was a very dangerous matter. He did not want to go, but he did not dare to disobey Gewa's order. He was a little hesitant, so he wrote to Lai Zonghan to ask for his opinion.
After receiving this letter, Lai Zonghan's original thoughts were a little shaken. He was originally planning to contact Gewa Xingchi. If their plan worked, then they would work together. If not, then they would sit back and watch the situation develop. No one would
Without help, Anka Ponggan has 10,000 soldiers and horses, which is enough to protect itself and can advance or retreat.
But now that he knew Gewa's plan, Lai Zonghan suddenly had other thoughts. Since Gewa dared to do this, he might have already contacted the Western Regions and obtained the consent of the countries in the Western Regions to use the road. If so,
