When the news of the Tang Dynasty's saints decided to personally expedition to Qinghai, the parties concerned about this party were shocked. Among them, the most shocking thing was that they had regarded Qinghai as the only Gar family where they could settle down.

In the past year, it has been a lot of disasters and difficulties for the Gar family, and has suffered a lot, and it was even on the verge of destruction. Finally, under the strong response of Da Lun Qinling, he forced the fierce Zanpu back and won a chance to breathe. At the same time, the cooperation with the Tang Dynasty gradually got on the right track.

Although the Tang officials in the process of cooperation were arrogant and arrogant, they had to admit that during the exchanges with the Tang Dynasty, the situation in Haixi was indeed greatly improved.

Especially after sufficient supplies were provided, from the direct members of the Gar family and the chiefs of various tribes to the lower tribes, they all deeply felt the benefits of this exchange.

In previous years, due to the urgent shortage of various materials, every cold winter was a severe test for Haixi. A large number of people fell into the bitter cold wind. However, with the supplement of materials this year, although the amount of people still could not reach the level of food and clothing for everyone, the death toll dropped sharply.

Putting aside the general disputes between countries, for ordinary people, survival is the greatest wish. Now that the living environment has been improved so much, the people of Haixi are also enthusiastic about supporting the Gar family, and it is no longer the simple slavery relationship that is too emotional in previous years.

Ordinary ministers may not know the root cause of this change, but the upper-class figures such as Haixi are well aware of this. Zanpo, who led to cooperation with the Tang Dynasty, has gained great reputation and is no longer as coldly ridiculed as when he just returned to Haixi from Chang'an.

Just as everyone in Haixi was looking forward to surviving the cold winter and living conditions would be better next year, news suddenly came that the Tang Dynasty saints were about to personally conquer Qinghai, which naturally shocked the people of Haixi and others were unacceptable.

Although the Tang Dynasty's Western Expedition this time refers to Tubo, its target is Qinghai. Now the royal army led by Zanpu is far away in Xikang. Once the Tang army heads to Qinghai, the Gar family will definitely be the first to bear the brunt.

But at present, the Gar family and the forces in the Tubo country are almost completely separated, but their relationship with the Tang Dynasty is becoming increasingly harmonious and they have benefited a lot. Now, they are caught between the struggle between these two powerful people, and what position should they take is really confusing.

Not to mention the various shocks and speculations from the outside world, after learning the news, the Gar family was shocked like thunder on the ground and shocked.

In late January, when the army of the Tang Dynasty was already leading the saint toward Longshang, Zanpo of the Gar family also secretly arrived in Haidong under the escort of the family guards. The person in charge of receiving him was Guo Yuanzhen, who came to the Haidong front from Shanzhou.

Although the situation in Qinghai is unprecedentedly tense and full of solemnity as the war is coming, Guo Yuanzhen also arranged a very grand welcome scene for Zan Po's visit.

However, Zan Po's current anxious mood obviously cannot carefully understand this enthusiasm. He just felt noisy and repeatedly expressed his hope that there would be a quiet environment to talk to Guo Yuanzhen.

Seeing that Zan Po was already anxious like this, Guo Yuanzhen waved his hand to remove the people who were in the scene. As soon as the idle people withdraw, Zan Po took a step forward, looked straight at Guo Yuanzhen and said in a deep voice: "The two parties agreed a few days ago, and the Haixi side implemented everything, and there was no contradictory agreement. But why did the Tang Dynasty suddenly violate the previous agreement and actually use a large army to Qinghai?"

Faced with Zan Po’s questioning, Guo Yuanzhen looked pretentious and frowned and said, “Why did the general say this? The exchange of things between the two sides is the court’s decision. All the people in Longbian are sincerely executed and dare not slacken or delay. The general made such a sudden accusation, and Guo really doesn’t know the reason!”

When Zan Po heard Guo Yuanzhen's answer, he couldn't help but look angry again, and slapped the table and said angrily: "Why should Guo Fujun ask me knowingly? The saint in the court suddenly issued a command order to attack Qinghai..."

"If the general sees this, please forgive Guo for not being able to respond. Although the two sides have made previous agreements, they have no place to belong to Qinghai. If this plan is to be restored in the country, it is not that Guo can submit a comment."

Seeing that Zan Po was already quite disobedient, Guo Yuanzhen also stood up from the table and continued to say in response to Zan Po's angered eyes: "The general is also a wise man in the world. He knows that the two things cannot be confused. The foreign country Zan Pu fought undeclaredly and robbed Xikang. For our country and people, it is tolerated, but who is not tolerated? What's more, Qinghai was originally a barrier in the Tang Dynasty. It was once stolen by the strong enemy and repeatedly provoked our country. He should respond with a painful attack and eliminate the flames of the thief!"

"Yes, but now Qinghai... Qinghai is now owned by my family and has no enemy to attack the Tang Dynasty..."

Hearing Guo Yuanzhen's answer, Zan Po's face was slightly angry and turned to a little plea.

Guo Yuanzhen laughed when he heard this and waved his hand and said, "Why do you have to say this absurd words? The Tang family's vassals all have rules and regulations. When will they involve the noble clan? This time, the saints of our country personally seek this ground, they will punish the thieves and evil, humiliate the enemy country, return the former master of Qinghai, and spread the Tang family's kindness and power. Apart from this, there is no other thought. If the general can feel nostalgic and act sideways, they can not hurt each other's harmony. But if he still regards himself as a foreign minister, he regards our Tang family's great army as a hatred, and only fights!"

"So, the Tang family will never allow me to take Qinghai again and again?"

When Zan Po heard this, his face turned pale.

"The Qinghai belongs to our Tang family. In previous years, there were all disputes with the foreign states. The general came because of this, and I wonder which order was followed?"

When Guo Yuanzhen talked about this, he had already expressed his meaning very clearly. The ownership of Qinghai and the wars surrounding it were related to it, which required the Tubo and the Tang Dynasty to negotiate, and the Gar family did not have such qualifications.

When Zan Po saw Guo Yuanzhen exaggerating, he did not respond to the most core issue positively, so his mood naturally became worse.

After a moment of silence, he raised his head again and said in a serious tone: "The Qinghai dispute is a chaotic situation in the middle of the country. Guo Fujun must also know it well. Now our clan is hard to tolerate the country, and Qinghai is the only place to survive. The whole family is young and old, but they still have the power of armor and spear. Even though he wants to take this seal, he will never wait to die! The Tang State disregards the old feelings and uses strength to make a living. My family will never accept it for the sake of the whole family!"

Seeing that Guo Yuanzhen was still waiting to speak, he quickly spoke and continued: "The Tang family is rich in all the seas and has a fertile land. Although Qinghai is vast, it is far away, cold and deserted, and the people are weak, and the things are poor, so it is not as good as a county in Guanzhong. What the Tang family must get is only because of border plans. The old man was the former master of this place, and his virtue was weak, so he was betrayed by his people. He could not keep this business for a long time, and he was in a hurry to surrender. The Tang Dynasty made several efforts to support it, but he could not accomplish anything calmly. This is what is called "God will destroy it, so why should human force force it?"

"The magnificent lord of the saint of the Tang Dynasty has come now. My family is really unable to take the initiative, but in order to protect this place of health, I can only sacrifice my life to fight. But even if the old master of Qinghai is back in this state, his personnel and affairs are no longer familiar, and he may not be able to win people. In the past, he could no longer defend himself. Now he can only rely on the power of the Tang family, and it is really difficult to make up for detailed plans."

"Although my family was born in a foreign land, the foreign ruler was not tolerated because of his great achievements. He was a powerful minister and was a huge enemy. If my family wanted to survive, he would only choose another habitat. This is also the consensus of the tribes. The father and son have been in charge of Qinghai and have made minor achievements so far. Although it is difficult to defeat the power of the Tang family, if the Qinghai ruler wants to repeat it, he can destroy it in one battle. Qinghai is nothing more than a place where the minions are placed, and it is definitely not a place that must be seized but must be defended. But if the Tang family has a seal of their order, my family will keep this kindness for the whole life and will never allow foreign soldiers to step in. This is not only a loyalty and righteousness to repay the kindness, but also a necessity for survival!"

Zan Po said this, his expression had become extremely earnest. He even bowed to Guo Yuanzhen and said tremblingly: "The Lord of the House has been a border operator. The balance between the two must be more clear than Zan Po's foolish opinions. In this state of Qinghai, a book can be summoned to restore it, but it is really not necessary for the saint to personally promote his power. I beg the Lord of the House to report this statement to the emperor. If this situation can be achieved, the Lord of the House can praise the court and the outside can be favored by the sea... "

Seeing that Zan Po was so humble, Guo Yuanzhen quickly avoided it and bent over from one side to help Zan Po up. At the same time, he sighed with regret: "The general has such a clear idea. Guo is also very happy and relieved when he heard it. It's a pity, it's a pity that if Guo hadn't missed this great merit before this, he must do his best to make this matter! But now, how can the imperial court's plan be changed every day? Even if the despised people in the border areas dare not offer separation and reunion tricks at such a time, which will damage the morale of the army!"

"Isn't there really no room for a turnaround?"

Hearing Guo Yuanzhen's answer, Zan Po looked disappointed and unwilling again.

After hearing this, Guo Yuanzhen shook his head: "The three armies move and let them go out like a mountain. Even if there is still a turning point in the process, it is definitely not just a border minister who dares to make suggestions. When we often meet, we have a lot of personal relationships with the general in addition to official duties and hope to be a minister in the same palace. But now the army has a long journey. If I make this plan again, even if the saints do not punish them, hundreds of thousands of thirsty soldiers in the country will not spare me!"

When Zan Po heard this, he completely gave up. His expression was disappointed and showed some determination: "Since that's the case, I no longer force others to do anything. As Guo Fujun said, although he has a positive attitude, his friendship has its own hearts. Today's things cannot be accomplished, and seeing you next day is a grudge between life and death. I beg Guo Fujun to give you a jar of fine wine, drink and say goodbye, and then fight for the battlefield!"

When Guo Yuanzhen heard this, he raised his hand and ordered the officials to deliver fine wine and delicacies, and poured wine for Zan Po himself. Seeing Zan Po picking up the wine glass and drinking it all, he frowned again and said thoughtfully: "Guo still has a confusion in his heart. Who is the one who makes a statement? If Qinghai does not guard, then the noble sect will not exist?"

Zan Po was stunned when he heard this, and then said, "Why should the Lord of the House have to tease me now? Since my father, my family has been using all their will in Qinghai. Now there is no place for the country to live in. Although the world is big, where can I live besides this?"

While speaking, Zan Po raised his hand and wanted to fill the wine again, but Guo Yuanzhen raised his hand to stop him.

"It is the general's words that have made me more confused. When it comes to business in the past lifetimes, can your sect be too much of the Tuyuhun royal family? Hundreds of years of royal inheritance, and there have been many rises and falls. The national sect has been intermittent, but now it is about to make a comeback. The danger of the national destruction of Tuyuhun is not enough to destroy its sect. Although your sect has been working hard for thirty years, why should you stick to this false career and stop your life?"

Guo Yuanzhen stared at Zan Po and said seriously.

After hearing this, Zan Po's shoulders trembled suddenly, and then he quickly said, "Can you make another clear statement?"

"The general is a smart and skillful person. Why should he ask others for the pros and cons? The personnel are difficult and treacherous, and it is not just one place in Qinghai? The Murong family can abandon their national industry to survive, while the foreign country Zanpu wants to cut off the gates of the pillar country to seek supremacy. Why does Qinghai have to be a cage for the birth of the noble clan and a tomb for death?"

Seeing that Zan Po’s thoughts had been moved, Guo Yuanzhen said earnestly: “The reason why my emperor led the people to the west was that the foreign countries invaded our Xikang. There was no need to punish the Gar family, otherwise why should there be a lot of funding in advance? This battle had to fight for our Tang Dynasty and the foreign countries, and it was definitely not something that a family could obey. But what are the benefits and harms of this war, and it was even more necessary to fight?”

Zan Po was a little hesitant just now, but after hearing Guo Yuanzhen's question, he fell completely silent and did not speak for a long time.

However, Guo Yuanzhen's bewitching words continued: "The land of the foreign land is narrow, the foreign ruler is unkind, and the gift of an inch of land is stingy, and it is difficult for a great man to tolerate. However, the Tang Dynasty has great grace and power, and everything is tolerate. Now the lord of Qinghai will receive new kindness again. Moreover, in this Western Expedition, the saints will wear armor to help the war. If they reward merits, they will definitely be fair to the public..."

When Guo Yuanzhen said this, Zan Po still didn't say a word, and there was obvious disgust on his face, which was obviously a little annoyed by Guo Yuanzhen's nagging.

He even stood up and walked out the door. After walking a few steps, he realized that this action was a bit rude, so he turned back and bowed to Guo Yuanzhen and said, "I am so confused that I can't even think about it anymore. I need to return to Haixi quickly. Please forgive me."

After hearing this, Guo Yuanzhen did not force himself to stay. When he sent Zan Po and his party, he even thoughtfully asked someone to arrange a strong horse with abundant feet for them, so that their return journey would be more convenient.
