When the Tang army just launched an attack on Tubo, it immediately promoted the news that Mang Song and Mangzan had been dead for nearly two years. Only a few nobles in Tubo knew about this matter, so when the news came, it was a huge blow to the Tubo army, which was one of the reasons why the Tang army could defeat the Tubo army at the fastest speed.

The king of a country did not die after his death. Of course, this incident also aroused the curiosity of the people of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Chang'an City was discussing this matter some time ago, and many storytellers even made this matter into stories, which made it known to almost everyone in Chang'an. As one of the core nobles of Tubo, Gong Ren had known Mang Song and Mangzan's early death for a long time, but he could not understand why the Tang Dynasty knew about this matter.

"Well~, although I know a little about this, I can't tell anyone without the consent of the prince, so I hope Brother Gong understands it!" Zhang Zong coughed dryly and said. He did not lie, but he could not say it was implemented, so he could only use such words to make excuses. After all, he couldn't tell the other party that he knew from later history books, right?

Seeing that Zhang Zong refused to say it, Gong Ren couldn't help but sigh, but he didn't ask again. After all, he knew that some things were secret, so Zhang Zong would definitely not tell him, just as he wouldn't tell Zhang Zong about the secrets of Tubo.

Seeing Gong Ren's expression depressed, Zhang Zong also visited and comforted the other party a few times and asked about his future plans. Gong Ren told the truth. Although their mission was no longer under house arrest in the inn, they probably would have to bear the heavy responsibility of the Tang Dynasty negotiations next, so he may not be able to go back to Tubo in a short period of time.

However, Gong Ren was still very worried about the family's situation. There was no news in Tubo now, and he didn't know the situation in the family. If the family changes, his position in the mission will probably become very embarrassing and may even be excluded.

Zhang Zong was powerless to do anything about this. After all, these were Tubo’s internal affairs. The only thing he could do was to comfort Gong Ren and once again threw an olive branch to the other party, hoping to win over Gong Ren’s family. But the same thing was said. Before the situation was clear, Gong Ren’s family would definitely not make a choice.

After talking about the above things, Gong Ren also asked about Zhang Zong's condition. He was placed under house arrest in the inn and knew nothing about the outside world. It was not until he came out that he heard about Zhang Zong's illness. Today he came to the door to complain, and to visit Zhang Zong's condition. Of course, now it seems that Zhang Zong must be fine.

As noon approached, Zhang Zong asked Wan'er to prepare a sumptuous meal to treat the other party with kindness, but Gong Ren was not very interested, which also affected his appetite. In the end, Zhang Zong had to chat with him for a while. After the meal, Gong Ren also stood up to say goodbye, and Zhang Zong also sent him away in person.

After seeing Gong Ren away, Zhang Zong did not go home, but went directly to Tianzhuo with a car. After all, the prisoners there still need to be vaccinated again. If this kind of thing is done earlier, the results will come sooner.

When he was in the carriage, Zhang Zong kept thinking about Tubo. This time, Tubo was defeated very badly, especially the elite army suffered most of the losses. It can be said that within ten years, Tubo was unable to expand outward.

However, for Tubo today, although the loss of troops is serious, it is not the biggest problem. It can even be said that the real big problem has not yet arrived, and this big problem is Tubo's internal affairs.

Now that Tubo Zanpu is young, he can only rely on the support of his relatives to take up the position of Zanpu. The relatives and Zanpu's forces can be united together to maintain a balance with the power of the Gongren family. However, now that Tubo is defeated, this balance will definitely be broken, so a series of fierce political struggles will inevitably break out within Tubo next.

Originally, the above were just Zhang Zong's guesses, but through chatting with Gong Ren just now, it has been confirmed that this guess is likely to become a reality. Moreover, the Gong Ren family used to monopolize the power, but now its strength has plummeted due to defeat, and its reputation has fallen to the bottom. This is definitely a good opportunity for many Tubo nobles to counterattack, so the situation of the Gong Ren family is also very dangerous.

Of course, the Gongren family is not a vegetarian. They have controlled the power of Tubo for decades, and have also produced more talents in the clan, and have also controlled many key positions in Tubo. Even if the troops in their hands are severely damaged, they cannot be underestimated, so they will definitely not be willing to hand over the power. When the two sides fight, it is likely to evolve from a political struggle to a military struggle.

"If you can fan the flames from it, you might be able to split Tubo, but..." Zhang Zong was very excited at first, but when he thought of something, he showed a silent expression.

Zhang Zong's wish to split Tubo has always been Zhang Zong's wish. He once talked about this with Li Hong. At that time, Li Hong also attached great importance to it and summoned the Feinusi people to discuss it, but the result was very disappointing.

Because according to Feinusi, Tubo is located on the plateau and is geographically isolated from the Tang Dynasty. Although there are merchants from the Tang Dynasty who go to Tubo to do business, it is difficult to break into the inside of Tubo, so Feinusi has never been able to develop any influential informants in Tubo, let alone internal struggles to pick up Tubo.

The lack of anyone was available made Zhang Zong frown. If he could not provoke the Tubo people from the inside, the impact on the Tubo people from the outside alone was actually very limited. If the internal struggles within Tubo were not fierce and even the goal of unification was even reached, it would not be good news for the Tang Dynasty. Even if Tubo could be honest for ten years, their strength would still expand outward again in ten years.

"It's really troublesome. If you can't do it once and for all, you might have a headache about the Tubo incident in the future!" Zhang Zong whispered again. The reason why he tried so hard to win over Gong Ren was to use the other party's hands to influence the family behind him, so that the internal struggle became more intense. Unfortunately, Gong Ren never took the bait, which made Zhang Zong have no choice.

"Leave it to God and do your best!" Zhang Zong finally sighed, but he was still a little unwilling to accept it. Speaking of which, Feinusi was still too unsatisfied and had too little layout for Tubo. If they could pay attention to Tubo earlier and develop more powerful informants there, maybe they wouldn't have to worry as much as they are now.
