Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 1720

"Baekje is not a good thing either. After I plan to destroy Goguryeo, I will wipe out Baekje!"

"What Weichen means is, will Baekje send troops to help Goguryeo when our two families attack Goguryeo? 10,000+ troops may have a fatal impact on the outcome."

His Majesty Li Er said: "Duke Qin is worrying too much, I don't believe that Baekje has the guts. At most they are making small moves behind the scenes, how dare they openly confront my Heavenly Soldiers of the Tang Dynasty? Are you not afraid that when my Heavenly Soldiers arrive, everything will be destroyed?"

Guo Yexin said, how could Baekje not understand the principle of dead lips and cold teeth?You yourself have the intention of leveling Baekje, can't the people of insight in Baekje see it?

However, if I conclude that Baekje will definitely send troops, it seems that the arguments are not so sufficient.What if Fu Yuzhang made a fool of himself?What if those people of insight are not allowed to be reused?What if Baekje pretends to be an ostrich and turns a blind eye to the huge crisis?

He said: "Although that is the case, Baekje is still a variable. Why don't we first make it easy and then difficult, first unite with Silla, destroy Baekje, and then attack Goguryeo wholeheartedly!"

His Majesty Li Er shook his head and said: "Impossible! Goguryeo has always been unruly and rebellious, and is eyeing my Tang. If we attack Baekje, Goguryeo will definitely help. At that time, it will be my Tang and Silla who will deal with Goguryeo and Baekje. This battle will be difficult to fight. But when we attack Goguryeo, Baekje is afraid of my Tang Tianwei, and will not dare to help. The result is that we and Silla will deal with Goguryeo. Two countries fight one country, and the odds of winning are doubled!"

This sounds really reasonable!

However, in history, Datang and Silla first jointly destroyed Baekje, and then attacked Goguryeo together.At that time, Guo Ye could not remember whether Goguryeo helped Baekje.

Now that history has changed, His Majesty Li Er's strategy may not be wrong.

So Guo Ye nodded and said: "Your Majesty is wise, I am convinced."

In the following days, Guo Ye began to prepare for his mission to Silla.But the strange thing is that after waiting for another three months, the envoy that Silla requested to be canonized still disappeared.

Guo Ye had a conspiracy in his heart, so it must be... something happened again?

Chapter 1553 Pity the world's parents heart

The envoy of Silla did not arrive for a long time, but another person came to the door.This person is Zheng Yuan and Zheng Defang.

Regarding Zheng Yuan's arrival, Guo Ye was also rather strange.

Ever since Zheng Yuan was assigned to the Lijing Sect, he has been like a fish in water, and he has analyzed the information well and soundly.Amid all the praises, Zheng Yuan couldn't find his way anymore. He spent all day in Lijingmen's headquarters and didn't go back to Duke Qin's mansion for a long time.

Guo Ye said: "Zheng... Father-in-law, you are busy with business, why do you have time to visit me today?"

His father-in-law called Zheng Yuan into ecstasy, and said: "I came here today because I have something to discuss with Qin Guogong."

"Father-in-law, please tell me something!"

Zheng Yuan pondered for a while, and said seriously: "I want to change my errand, and I hope Qin Guo will be fair."

Guo Ye was taken aback, and said: "Could it be that my father-in-law is not comfortable working in the Lijing Gate? Is there anyone who is not open-eyed and offended you?"

"Of course not." Zheng Yuan shook his head, and said: "Thanks to Qin Guogong, the old man is doing well in the Lijing Sect. Everyone in the sect is very polite to the old man."

"Then why don't you plan to continue working at Lijingmen?"

"It's not that I don't want to work in Lijingmen anymore, but I don't want to work in Lijingmen's headquarters. Analyzing intelligence all day is just a step-by-step job, and I can't make use of my strengths. Therefore, I want to leave Lijingmen. Headquarters, transfer to another place."

"Where are you going?"

"Xue Yantuo!"

As the unscrupulous people grabbed food from Lijingmen's bowl, Lijingmen was not to be outdone, and within the business scope of the bad guys, they also moved some hands and feet.Now there are branches of Lijingmen in other countries.

However, it was all small fights, not a big deal, and far from being compared with bad people.With fewer staff, less snobbery, and still within the empire, these branches can be said to be the most difficult departments of Lijingmen.Not only the living conditions are far from comparable to those of Datang, but also life-threatening.

Guo Ye said: "You are so old, and it's time to take care of your life. I think the work at the headquarters of Lijingmen is not suitable. You can walk around. Why do you want to go to such a dangerous place?"

"It's not dangerous, it's not dangerous at all." Zheng Yuan shook his head and said, "Qin Guogong, have you forgotten what I used to do? I was helping Yuanhai Zilan with his business on the grassland. I know Xue Yantuo very well. There are many places in Xingyang and Chang'an. It can be said that Xue Yantuo is half of my hometown, so what danger can there be?"

"That won't work! Even if no one is against you, Chang'an City is thousands of miles away from Xue Yantuo. The mountains are high and the roads are far away and the pits are deep. At your age, how can you endure long distances? What if something goes wrong..."

"Qin Guogong's words are wrong. If you want to make achievements, how can you not take any risks? Is there any danger for Ban Chao to join the army? Is there any danger for Zhang Qian to travel to the Western Regions? Let's not talk about it, let's talk about it. Danger? Could it be that there is danger, so they won't go? A man is afraid that he will not be able to make achievements and his name will go down in history, what danger are he afraid of?"

"No... I didn't mean that. You have to think about it for me. Anyway, we are also a Weng and a son-in-law. If something really happens to you, how can I explain it to Feifei? How can I explain it to the world? You know Those who say that you insist on going, I can't stop it. Those who don't know have to say that I am not filial, you are so old, and let you go around for me!"

"That's your business, I don't care! In short, in short, you have to send this old man to Xue Yantuo. If you don't agree for a day, the old man will bother you for a day. If you don't agree for a year, the old man will bother you." Year……"

Guo Ye turned his mind and said: "Father-in-law, let's open the skylight and speak honestly. I don't believe you said that you went to Xue Yantuo to make meritorious deeds. I know everything about your performance in Lijingmen. I am very satisfied with my job, and I don’t even want to go home. Now you suddenly want to say that you are going to Xue Yantuo, it must be suspicious! You have made it clear, and we can discuss everything. If you don’t make it clear..."

"Don't you dare to be unreasonable to the old man?"

"Then how dare I! But... I can ask Feifei to deal with you!"

Order tofu in brine, one thing for one thing!Zheng Yuan pulled his face down, Guo Ye had no good solution.But... once Zheng Feifei acted like a baby, Zheng Yuan had to raise his hands in surrender!

As for whether Zheng Feifei listened to her father or Guo Ye, is there any need to ask?

Zheng Yuan sighed, and said: "It seems that nothing can be hidden from you! Yes, the theory of meritorious deeds is just a cover. The real purpose of the old man going to Xue Yantuo is...for Feifei!"

"How do you say this?"

Zheng Yuandao: "The old man's analysis of information in the Lijing Gate is not for nothing. Qin Guogong, I want to ask you something. Your relationship with Ying Guogong's warrior Yi's daughter Wu Meiniang is not that simple, is it?"

Guo Ye showed embarrassment on his face, and said: "This...you have analyzed it all? Actually, my relationship with Wu Meiniang is nothing..."

Zheng Yuandao: "Mr. Qin is not more worried. I am not blaming you. As you are, it is normal that there are more women around you. What the old man means is that now the daughter of the Duke will be your concubine. Then when will our Feifei be?" Years later, marry into the Guo family. Isn't it a good match?"

Guo Ye understood now that Zheng Yuan was afraid of his low status, and Zheng Feifei would be looked down upon and wronged after marrying into the Guo family, so he had to find a way to make a contribution so that he could support his daughter in the future.It's really hard for him!What a pity for the parents of the world!

Guo Ye said: "Father-in-law, why is this so? I like Feifei because of who she is, not because of whose daughter she is. Besides, even in terms of identity, Feifei is the daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang, even the prince is worthy of it." Let alone me, Guo Ye?"

"Qin Guogong has won the award. If Feifei is really a pure girl with five surnames, I don't have to worry about it. The problem is, not only is her mother not a girl with five surnames, she is not even a Han. Feifei's status really worries me. ... I have only had such a daughter in my whole life, and I don't want her to suffer the slightest grievance."

……

Guo Ye continued to persuade Zheng Yuan with kind words, but Zheng Yuan was determined and remained unmoved.Finally, he said: "Duke Qin, there is no need to say any more. Now that the affairs of the Tang Dynasty are flourishing, Xue Yantuo has always refused to surrender to my Tang Dynasty. There must be a war between the Tang Dynasty and Xue Yantuo. Don't you want to share Make some credits? Lijingmen's branch in Xue Yantuo is really not good, let the old man help you clean it up!"

These words moved Guo Ye.

It's not that he wants to make great contributions. At his position, no matter how great the contribution is, there is no way for him to be promoted.

However, this is Xue Yantuo!Xue Yantuo, who has a blood feud with Guo Ye!How many good brothers Guo Ye had died at the hands of Xue Yantuo's cavalry?If you can't play a role in Datang's struggle with Xue Yantuo in the future.Even if Xue Yantuo is wiped out by the Tang Dynasty in the future, Guo Ye will not have a clear mind!

To relieve the hatred in your heart, draw your sword and slay your enemy!How can there be the pleasure of revenge if you don't contribute yourself?From this point of view, sending Zheng Yuan to Xue Yantuo is really a wonderful move!This old man is quite talented in intelligence work, and he knows Xue Yantuo's inside information well, so he was sent to Xue Yantuo, so what secrets does Xue Yantuo have about Datang?

Guo Ye nodded and said: "Since that's the case, I won't stop my father-in-law, but I don't know Feifei..."

"As long as you don't trip the old man, Feifei's old man will tell you in person!"

Although Zheng Yuan was old, he was really efficient. He convinced Zheng Feifei on the second day, packed his bags on the third day, left Chang'an City, and went straight to Xue Yantuo!

Not long after Zheng Yuan left, the envoys from Silla also arrived late!

This emissary was not someone else, but Guo Ye's old acquaintance, Jin Yuxin, the Immortal of Silla Kingdom!Not long after Jin Yuxin moved into the posthouse of Honglu Temple, Guo Ye came to visit and said, "Brother Yuxin, you are so late!"

Jin Yuxin smiled wryly, and said, "It's good that I can come! Now Silla's internal and external troubles are in dire straits! I came this time to seek help from Datang!"
