Seeing Guo Yuanzhen so respectful in his rituals, Li Tong was quite surprised. But when he heard the pronunciation of "lower officials, low officials" in his words, he realized that this guy was disgusting his low official position.

After hearing the complaints from the civil and military officials of Longyou just now, Li Tong was unhappy. In addition, Guo Yuanzhen is always not upright and has a lower bottom line than others. He is a person who doesn’t fight for three days and takes off the tiles to his house.

So Li Tong pulled down his face, snorted coldly, and said, "The silent subordinates cannot show their skills, have talent but cannot meet them, have horse teeth hyperplasia, and have strength but cannot do anything. Which kind do you think you are?"

Seeing that the Lord Yong's expression was a little unkind, Guo Yuanzhen felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly said, "I am indulging in the matter outside the matter. When I meet Your Highness, how dare I say I am not satisfied again! My talent may not be enough to praise me, but my ambition has not been slackened. But my age has grown, and I often sigh at the troubles of times. I can thirst to dance in front of the King of Dance and show my merits. The strength of the horse is getting older, and there is no competition with the backwards for many years. Only extraordinary achievements can be the first! The story is not enough, I hope I can be the pioneer of the king in the future and go east to compete for the top!"

Hearing this, not only Li Tong's expression slightly stopped, but Liu Youqiu and other old employees looked at Guo Yuanzhen and their eyes changed. This guy was really brave to say it when he flattered.

They followed King Yong for a long time and naturally wanted King Yong to win the throne and hoped that he could get from Long Qian's residence. But this idea was just in mind, and he really didn't dare to be as straightforward as Guo Yuanzhen said.

After Li Tong was silent for a moment, his face became a little unnatural. He glared at Guo Yuanzhen fiercely. He shut up if he couldn't speak, which made me jealous of that position!

"Let's focus on the affairs of Longbian first, and don't talk about me!"

Everyone present was Li Tong's confidant, but Guo Yuanzhen's big mouth still made Li Tong feel uncomfortable. In order to avoid this guy talking nonsense, he said again: "Since you are eager to make achievements, let's talk about the matter in front of you. If you don't have a strategy, you don't have to regret it anymore. Tongquan County Captain, you don't have to do it anymore!"

"Since I have to use the king's affairs, I will naturally do my best to do it all day and night and dare not slack off. Since your highness is asking, I will dare to say it."

Seeing that His Highness had no patience to discuss major plans with him, Guo Yuanzhen no longer dared to continue to be presumptuous, so he quickly corrected his attitude.

The man became serious and had a bit of a sense of temperament. After pondering for a moment, he continued: "I think that the troubles of Xijing are in chaos and new destruction, and your highness should not be easily exposed. The troubles of Tubo are really worthy of consideration, but even if your highness comes to this point, it may not be of great help to the situation, and there are also concerns that both the inside and the outside cannot be taken into account!"

Li Tong was in a bad mood when he heard this. When I was in Longbian, I was just causing trouble for you?

But since he was discussing the matter, he didn't let his emotions interfere, and just asked in a deep voice: "What do you mean?"

"The Tubo gangs wanted to take power outward, but they only went out of Longbian, the Western Regions. If Your Highness did not go to Long, then nine points of this battle would be launched in Anxi. Once Your Highness arrived, it would be no longer possible to see where the battle was fought. The people in Longbian were anxious, and Your Highness also saw something. The four towns were busy with military expenses and needed to be given military achievements, otherwise they would be even more criticized!"

Guo Yuanzhen asked for serious things, but he didn't seem so annoying anymore.

But when Li Tong heard this, he was still a little confused and continued to ask: "I naturally know that the two directions of Tubo are exporting. But why do you say that if I climb Long, it will be difficult to tell if you go out? Does Qinling still have to establish his authority based on me, so you must attack Longyou?"

Li Tong naturally thought about this trip. Putting aside the inspection needs of the states within the Guandi, he also considered the reactions that may be made to the Tubo side.

He remembered that in the original history, shortly after Wang Xiaojie recovered the four towns, Tubo continued to attack the Western Regions, hoping to recapture the four towns. Therefore, Guo Yuanzhen analyzed that Tubo would have a 90% chance of attacking the Western Regions, which is also relatively reliable.

After all, this time the Tang Dynasty's control over the four towns was quite different, and the heavy army guarded it. Only when the Tang army was newly invaded could Tubo take back the Western Regions again. Otherwise, it would be difficult to wait until the Tang army gained a foothold.

But that was what would have happened in history. But now, there have been continuous turmoil in the Tang Dynasty, especially abandoning Zhou and returning to Tang, which is naturally an opportunity for those enemy countries to exploit. Mochuo of the Turks even led his army to invade himself. Will Tubo Lun Qinling miss this opportunity?

Although the hegemony in the Western Regions is important, Tubo's trip was also a guest army to fight and did not have a home advantage. However, here in Longyou, as Tubo took Tuyuhun, he could directly attack the Tang Dynasty. This choice was undoubtedly more in line with Tubo's interests.

For example, in history, Tubo took advantage of the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion and first sent troops to Longyou to cut off the Hexi Corridor, and then continued to use troops to the Western Regions.

So Li Tong felt that Tubo would give up the Anxi side this time and turn to the invasion from Longyou. This was determined by the general environment of the game between the two countries. However, Guo Yuanzhen blamed Tubo's strategic choice for whether he would enter Long or not, which made Li Tong a little unacceptable.

Ren Qinling has been famous for a long time, so do you still hope to attack yourself as a junior to establish your prestige?

"Qinling is just a slave in the foreign country, how can you compete with Your Highness for the glory!"

Guo Yuanzhen first patted a flattery that made Li Tong feel a little blushed, and then continued: "Tubo has been in trouble for a long time, and her husband will be the enemy if he wants to make a contribution. Therefore, I have also visited many people in the affairs of the foreign countries. Lu Dongzan and his son have successively inherited the country. After the misfortune of the foreign countries, the old land of Tuyuhun was granted to him. If he attacked Longyou, all the benefits were owned by the Gar family.

The battles of the whole country are all funded by one family, so both the king and the ministers are not happy to see each other. Therefore, even if Qinling is determined to fight in Longyou, he may not be able to do it. Now, Your Highness is here in Longborder, and with Qinling's wisdom, he may proclaim that our Tang Dynasty will fight again in the former land of Tuyuhun, and force the king and the ministers to gather their strength to attack Longyou."

After hearing Guo Yuanzhen's analysis, Li Tong was really unable to calm down. Could it be that he was really wrong this time?

Judging from the current situation under the Tang Dynasty, the battle with Tubo is naturally better than that of Longyou. One is not in the local area, which can avoid disturbances in the local area and intensify various potential conflicts. Two is that a new army is established in Anxi, and the four towns do need a big victory to demonstrate its strategic value to eliminate domestic criticism.

Guo Yuanzhen's analysis is the core of the conflict between the monarch and the ministers of Tubo. According to Guo Yuanzhen, the contradiction between the Gar family and the domestic monarchy is even deep enough to affect the strategic choices of Tubo.

Li Tong was still reserved about this, so he turned to Liu Youqiu and others and asked: "The gap between the emperor and his ministers of Tubo is so profound?"

After hearing this, Liu Youqiu was silent for a moment, and then said: "What Guo Shenjun said is indeed reasonable. Since Lu Dongzan, Tubo has held the hands of the Gar family. The country is cold and barren, and the land is not abundant. The Tuyuhun land is rich in water and grass, which is powerful and can replenish. After Lu Dongzan and his son got this, they guarded for a long time and refused to be involved in others. Because it was the aggravation of the people in the country, it was not a short year. Zanpu became stronger and the cracks were even deeper."

When it comes to Tubo, we cannot bypass the Gar family represented by Lu Dongzan and his son. The entire Tubo history has been around for more than 200 years, but after Songtsen Gampo's death, Guanglu Dongzan and his son played for nearly fifty years.

First, the Gar family is indeed a father and son, and no matter how much they make contributions to Tubo, it is not an exaggeration to praise it. Second, after Songtsen Gampo's death, Tubo succeeded to the throne one after another, and was disconnected from the line and hung up all year round, which also made the monarch's power sluggish for a long time.

However, as the first dynasty to unify the plateau, Tubo naturally not only had the Lu Dongzan family in its country. The Gar family was a rising star in Tubo itself, and occupied the richest old land of Tuyuhun. Naturally, there were many people in the country who were unhappy with their family.

As Guo Yuanzhen said, Tubo rose on the plateau and quickly grew into the biggest border trouble in the western border of the Tang Dynasty. Especially after the Battle of Dafeichuan, those who were eager to make achievements regarded Tubo as their imaginary enemy.

Liu Youqiu was no exception. On the first day he became the assistant of King Yong, he presented a book about Longshi Border, which was a series of ideas for Tubo. Now it seems that that strategy is naturally very immature and ridiculous, and even Liu Youqiu felt ashamed when he thinks about it.

After being sent to Longyou by King Yong, Liu Youqiu also worked harder to collect information about Tubo, so he also had a deep understanding of the entanglement between the Gar family and the imperial power.

"The Tubo family wanted to control Gar not a short year. As early as the second year of Longshuo, Tubo dismissed Lu Dongzan's position as the prime minister and wanted to seize his power. Lu Dongzan successfully killed him and was re-appointed as the prime minister. After that, he conquered Tuyuhun and did not dare to return to the Lusa King City..."

When Li Tong heard this, he couldn't help but sigh that any regime would be dirty when fighting. The second year of Longshuo was in 662 AD, which was the most tense moment when Tubo attacked Tuyuhun. In the second year, Tuyuhun was attacked by Tubo.

The political enemies of the Gar family chose to remove Lu Dongzan from the position of the prime minister at this time, which was bound to pick peaches. After conquering Tuyuhun for a long time, Lu Dongzan conquered this place, in addition to digesting the results of the war, probably also avoiding the political battles in the country.

"After Lu Dongzan's death, his son Zan Xiruo succeeded Da Lun, and was in charge of the overall situation. The second son Qinling and other soldiers were outside, and they still held great power. In the first year of Chuigong, Zan Xiruo presided over the Daliji Collection in the Central Committee of the Kingdom, and wanted to take advantage of the civil turmoil of the Tang Dynasty to cut off our Hexi. However, at this gathering, the wealthy and nobles in the country lobbed Zan Xiruo's clan and attacked Zan Xiruo, and Qinling then returned to the country to set up chaos, because the Tang Dynasty was spared from border troubles..."

When Li Tong heard this, he couldn't help but feel scared. During the Chuigong period, the imperial throne was full of thrones. The Turks in the north attacked the border, the Tielite tribe in Hequ rebelled, and Xu Jingye was still planning chaos in the middle of the country. It was a time of internal and external troubles. At that time, in order to quell the rebellion, the court recalled Heichi Changzhi, who was in Heyuan, to the court, first quelled the Xu Jingye rebellion, and then attacked the Turks.

If it weren't for this time that there was also turmoil in the Tubo country, if Tubo really wanted to attack this time, it would undoubtedly be a heavier blow to the Tang Dynasty.

At this moment, Guo Yuanzhen didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly laughed twice, then he found that everyone was looking at him, hurriedly put away his smile, and said seriously: "The Queen Mother of Tubo is not as good as a Holy Emperor, but the Gar tribes eat each other, and the Lu family is still vaguely in the process."

Li Tong knew that this guy couldn't spit out ivory in his mouth. After hearing this, he glared at him angrily and signaled Liu Youqiu to continue saying that only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you plan to fight. Although he knew that this was the case with the power struggle between Tubo's powerful ministers and Zanpu, he really didn't know the specific details.
