Gongga nodded, he stroked his beard and said, "Under the current situation, we have two choices. The first choice is to assassinate Yi Fusheng and his men who are about to leave Tubo. "
"But in my opinion, the assassination plan is the worst. Because once we kill Yi Fusheng, Du Qi will lead his troops to attack us. Lang Ri Songzan will be attacked, and we will also be attacked. If Lang Ri Songzan wants to fight, we will have to fight too, there is no way to avoid it. "
"At that time, we will lose eight hundred men to kill a thousand enemies, it is not worth it, so it is the worst choice."
Gongga said, "My plan is to meet Yi Fusheng. Everyone present knows that Lang Ri Songzan is currently preparing to deal with us. Similarly, we are also preparing for it. "
"If we get Du Qi's support, we will definitely win the battle with Lang Ri Songzan. After we win, we can fall out with Du Qi, regardless of whether we agree to Du Qi's conditions. "
Gongga said solemnly, "In short, as long as we recover, we can prepare to sweep the rest of Tubo, then go up north to attack Du Qi and take revenge."
As soon as he said this, everyone agreed.
Everyone had the same opinion.
Seeing that no one objected, Gongga said, "If so, we will keep a close eye on Yi Fusheng and his men. After Yi Fusheng leaves Qiongba, we will meet Yi Fusheng on the way. "
"Yes!"
Everyone answered in unison.
They all agreed with Gongga's arrangement, because meeting Yi Fusheng was the best choice. They continued talking and chatting, time passed by in the blink of an eye.
The day of Yi Fusheng's departure arrived. Early in the morning, Yi Fusheng and his men woke up early and washed up. After breakfast, they bid farewell to Lang Ri Songzan. At the same time, the war horses and wine arranged by Lang Ri Songzan were all ready.
All the resources were outside the city.
Lang Ri Songzan looked at Yi Fusheng and said, "Mister Yi, in the words of the Central Plains, the mountains never change and the rivers flow forever. I hope that we will have the chance to meet again. Mister Yi's talent has left a deep impression on me. You are very good. "
Yi Fusheng said, "Zan-Pu is too kind. I wish Zan-Pu good fortune and a long life."
"Goodbye!"
After Yi Fusheng finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Xue Rengui and the soldiers followed closely behind and escorted Yi Fusheng away.
Lang Ri Songzan looked at Shang San and said, "Great Minister, the Central Plains is truly vast and filled with talents. Du Qi only sent one Consul Cao, and he already has such ability. "
Shang San said seriously, "After all, the Central Plains is vast and abundant in resources, and the Central Plains is full of talents. It was normal to have such talents. However, after our Tubo develops, we will also be able to attract countless talents. "
"Let's take it slow."
"Now that we've sent Yi Fusheng and his group away, we haven't caused any trouble. Now that he had stabilized Du Qi, he could do his best to solve the internal problems. After Yi Fusheng's disturbance, Gongga and his men will definitely be more alert. We must be prepared. "
Rangi Songzan's eyes were sharp, and he said firmly, "We must win this battle, we must win. We can't lose this battle, and we don't dare to lose. "
Shang San said, "Zan-Pu has sacrificed so much. He will definitely be able to obtain the final victory."
After Songzan Gambu heard it, he secretly clenched his fists.
He was the one who was most unwilling.
He couldn't accept that his father was going to die at such a young age. He couldn't accept that his father was actually humiliated by a small military officer. He couldn't accept that Tubo was now being threatened by a small Du Qi …
Songzan Gambu's heart was filled with thousands of grievances. However, this grievance could not be released, and there was no chance for him to vent it. The three of them looked at the direction where Yi Fusheng left and only left after the crowd disappeared from their sight.
Yi Fusheng and his group left the palace and went straight out of the city. As soon as the group arrived at the East Gate, they met the Tubo soldiers who were guarding the horses and wine. These people who were in charge of escorting them were arranged by Lang Ri Songzan. Next, they would escort the wine and horses to the Great Tang Empire. Only after they had entered the territory of the Great Tang would they leave.
As soon as Yi Fusheng arrived, he gave the order to hurry up.
The group of people hurried on their way. At this time, the group left at a slower speed. However, Yi Fusheng had already arranged for people to leave as soon as possible. He wanted to inform Du Qi first so that Du Qi could respond.
Yi Fusheng and his group traveled for a day, and everything went smoothly.
They did not encounter any resistance.
At night, the army set up camp.
The accompanying warhorses and wine were all placed together. They no longer formed a long formation. The group stopped, and the soldiers began to cook. At this time, a soldier came to Yi Fusheng and reported, "Consul Yi, an old man is outside. He said that he has something important to discuss with you."
Yi Fusheng raised his eyebrows and thought for a while. "Bring him here."
"Yes, sir!"
The soldier received the order and turned to inform the old man.
Not long after, an old man came. This person was none other than Gonga.
During the day, he did not take the initiative to meet anyone. After all, it was not suitable for him to do so as it would easily expose his identity. Now that it was dark and Yi Fusheng's group stopped, he took the initiative to come.
Gonga stepped forward, came to Yi Fusheng, and said directly, "I'm Gonga. Nice to meet you, Consul Yi. Speaking of which, I've been friends with Consul Yi for a long time. I've heard a lot about you! "
Yi Fusheng shook his head and said, "I'm just relying on Your Highness's prestige. I don't have any prestige. It's a bit too much to say that I've heard a lot about you. If I remember correctly, you have a distinguished identity and are the uncle of the current Tubo Emperor, Lang Ri Songzan. Am I right? "
"Yes, yes! Consul Yi, you have a good memory! "
Gonga said with a smile on his face.
Yi Fusheng smiled. He knew Gonga's news. He was a typical old aristocrat who deliberately made an enemy of Lang Ri Songzan. Yi Fusheng had a smile on his face as he asked, "May I know why you've come looking for me?"
Gonga said, "The reason I'm here is actually very simple. I want to build a relationship with Ping Xi Wang and get his support. As long as Ping Xi Wang supports me, the money and benefits I'll get will be more than just three thousand war horses and five thousand catties of highland barley wine. There will be more benefits. "
Yi Fusheng said with a smile, but his eyes showed disdain, "Gonga, you said that Your Highness will benefit greatly if he supports you. But in reality, what can you bring to Your Highness? If it's just money, Your Highness doesn't need it at all. "
For Yi Fusheng, although he had just reached an agreement with Lang Ri Songzan, it did not prevent him from getting in touch with Gonga. Especially since Gonga was more suitable than Jin Babu.
Jin Babu was a backup.
Jin Babu was willing to wait for an opportunity to cause trouble. For Tubo, there was one more person who could stir up trouble.
Gonga was a veteran power with a rich foundation and full of power. Especially behind Gonga, there was a large group of old aristocrats supporting him. The power formed by these people was something that even Lang Ri Songzan felt constrained.
This was the reason why Lang Ri Songzan did not make a move.
Gonga thought carefully and suddenly said, "Mister Yi, this old man can pledge allegiance to Ping Xi Wang. As long as Ping Xi Wang supports me, then after I take down Lang Ri Songzan, I will announce Tubo's allegiance to Ping Xi Wang and offer tributes every year. "
"Lang Ri Songzan will only give me three thousand war horses and five thousand catties of highland barley wine. As long as this old man is in charge of Tubo, I will offer him five thousand war horses and thirty thousand catties of highland barley wine every year. "
"Mister Yi, for Ping Xi Wang, me pledging allegiance to him is more cost-effective. Ping Xi Wang used to be a businessman, he can weigh the pros and cons. I believe he will consider all of this. "
In Gonga's heart, he hoped that Du Qi would intervene. Because once Du Qi intervened and supported him, then Gonga could further seize power with the support of the Tang dynasty's army.
As for Gonga saying that he was willing to pledge allegiance to Du Qi, it was actually just a verbal agreement. When he completely grasped the overall situation of Tubo and had enough power, he could tear up the treaty at any time.
