Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 353

Liao Ba led the people and walked over to Guo Ye carelessly, not as guarded as he was talking in the air in the bamboo building just now.

Kang Zhiru poked out her small head and shouted at Liao Ba: "Uncle Liao, Guo, Guo Ye said that you sent people down the mountain to vote for Tuwa City, saying that you tied me up the mountain to blackmail him. What the hell is going on? ah?"

Liao Ba approached slowly, glared at Guo Ye, and said in a deep voice, "You are my niece, why should I tie you up? What's going on, hehe, I have to ask this young and promising Mr. Guo."

"Stop talking!"

Guo Ye suddenly interrupted Liao Ba's speech, and said to Miji: "Take people down the mountain quickly, and order Kang Bao, Er Niu and others to stop fighting and leave the Wild Wolf Valley. count!"

Seeing Guo Ye's serious face, Miji didn't dare to ask what happened, so he answered and left quickly with a few people.

Kang Zhiru murmured, "A trick? What's going on?"

Even Liao Ba, who was full of anger, was slightly stunned, staring at Guo Ye and making no sound.

Guo Ye first waved his right arm towards the surroundings, signaling the surrounding soldiers not to act rashly.

Then he laughed at himself and sighed: "It's really a gorgeous trick to kill with a knife!"

Kang Zhiru still couldn't understand what Guo Ye was talking about, but Liao Ba was a little confused, handed the iron-armed bow in his hand to a horse thief behind him, and said coldly: "Master Guo, what do you mean? Are you trying to cover up your attack on my cottage tonight?"

Hearing the questioning tone, Guo Ye snorted uncomfortably: "You are horse thieves, I am an officer and soldier. Since ancient times, soldiers and bandits have different ways. It is only right and proper for me to lead the army to suppress you. Do I need to prevaricate and cover up? However, today The fact of the day is that you and I have both fallen into the trick, and fell into someone else's plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife!"

Liao Ba was angered again by Guo Ye's strong words, but he also agreed in his heart that Guo Ye said that soldiers and bandits are different.

What made him even more curious was, why did Guo Ye hit the trick three times, or did he use a knife to kill someone?

Could it be that he was paralyzed, that tonight's incident was caused by someone behind the scenes?

Then this grudge will end!

Immediately, he yelled at Guo Ye: "Master Guo, you raided Wild Wolf Peak tonight, destroyed my stronghold, and killed my brother. We have made this beam. But, you said that you and I have fallen into someone else's trap." You have to say that you are ugly, otherwise, hehe—”

"Otherwise, I, Liao Ba, am not a nirvana, so I will fight you to the end!"

"cut!"

Guo Ye responded disdainfully, pointed at the dozens of horse thieves behind him, and snorted: "Look at how many people you have left, they are all at the end of their battles and are still fighting to the end, what are you using to beat me to death? Liao, it’s still the same sentence, since ancient times, it’s a matter of course for officers and soldiers to suppress horse thieves, and you can’t blame anyone.”

After Liao Ba heard this, the flesh on both sides of his cheeks trembled unnaturally, staring at Guo Ye with extremely sharp eyes, and growled: "One size counts for one size, and you and I put it aside first, I want to know more now. Who played this trick of borrowing a knife to kill me, and blackmailed me from behind!"

Hearing this, Guo Ye thought to himself, this horse thief leader is really stubborn!

But he still said cheerfully: "Okay, what's the harm in telling you? Listen well——"

Chapter 274 Not Simple

While speaking, Kang Bao, Cheng Erniu and others led a small group of soldiers and horses, and went up the mountain from Yelangyu Canyon one after another.

Of course, they were accompanied by hundreds of bandits that Liao Ba had stationed in the canyon early.

Because Guo Ye asked Miji to convey the order to stop fighting, the two parties, soldiers on one side and bandits on the other, actually stopped their flags and drums, and temporarily shook hands and went up the mountain together.

It is an anecdote that fellow soldiers and bandits walk together.

When Kang Bao and the others went up the mountain, apart from caring about Kang Zhiru's safety, they naturally asked Guo Ye why they suddenly stopped making peace.

As for those horse thieves, it was much worse.

Several horse thief leaders gathered around Liao Ba, weeping and complaining about their sufferings, shouting that Tang's soldiers were so numerous that their own side suffered heavy losses and so on.

The two men are in a position to make judgments, and their aura is incomparable.

At this time, Liao Ba looked at Guo Ye's eyes more and more fiercely. He wished he could cut Guo Ye, that bastard, into five horses to relieve his hatred.

However, he suppressed the anger that was about to come out, and listened to Guo Ye's detailed analysis of the trick of killing with a knife and the person behind it.

Guo Ye signaled everyone to be silent, and then said to Liao Ba: "The surname Liao, as we all know, on this long border line with a radius of hundreds of miles, apart from our troops, you are the five horse thieves who are rampant everywhere. And The person who can provoke you and me to go to war must be among them."

"Among these people, who has a grudge against you, Yelangyu? You should know it well."

"Among these people, I don't need to say more about who knows the situation in my city of Tuva very well."

"And this person is very clear. Based on my usual principles and standpoint, as long as I know that Kang Zhiru has been kidnapped, I will definitely not compromise with you horse thieves to pay the ransom. Wolf Valley, level the Wild Wolf Peak."

"Therefore, ever since he found out that Kang Zhiru was invited by you to come up to the mountain as a guest, he began to contemplate this plan to kill with a knife. The plan of the horse thief to submit a book was really designed based on this."

"Hehe, no wonder, no wonder Guan Jiujiu mentioned it to me before, saying that the horse thief used the method of kidnapping and extorting money, so he lost his viciousness. So that's it, everything is clear!"

Guo Ye analyzed all this in detail, and finally locked his eyes on Liao Ba, and asked, "Now, you should understand who is behind all this, right?"

Liao Ba didn't speak, but his fists were clasped tightly, his teeth were chattering, obviously he had a candidate in mind.

And a little horse thief leader behind him shouted even more angrily: "Brother, it must be the gang of Tubo people in Wumapo who secretly messed up and messed with his grandma. Kill us with the hands of Tang Jun!"

The Tubo people in Wumapo were one of the five groups of sand bandits and horse thieves that Zhao Jiuchou mentioned to Guo Ye before.

This horse thief was a Tubo man who was raised by Samba in secret and disguised as a Han horse thief. He has been occupying the Wumapo area for a long time, doing the business of killing people and stealing goods.

The most exasperating thing is that Wumapo belongs to the border of Datang.

Thinking of this, Guo Ye secretly scolded Samba, the son of a bitch.

Because, he is also 100% sure that this trick of borrowing a knife to kill people was arranged by Samba.

In the entire border, except for Samba, no one can understand Guo Ye's demeanor, and no one hates the horse thief on Yelang Peak so much.

You must know that Liao Ba often led the horse thieves from Yelangfeng into the Tubo territory on horseback, and plundered cattle and sheep in the Samba territory.

For this move, Guo Ye gave Liao Ba a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart.

But he was very curious, why Liao Ba's subordinates could immediately guess that it was Sangba and his subordinates raised in Wumapo who were responsible for this time?

Don't they have enmity with the other three groups of horse thieves?

Then he asked Liao Ba's subordinates, "Why are you so sure?"

Before Liao Ba had time to stop him, the little leader crackled and shouted: "It's so strange, isn't it? You really think our big leader is just as strong as Yelangfeng? To tell you the truth, the other three villages are all our big leaders." It was placed on purpose. Don’t think that you Tang Jun are great, join the other three teams, hum, we are no less than your Tang Jun!”

hiss……

Guo Ye's expression froze for a moment. Could it be said that out of the five horse thieves, Liao Ba accounted for four?

What does this grandson want to do?

No wonder I dared to tell Lao Tzu just now that if I didn't, I would die to the end. It turns out that I have the capital to die to the end!

Just as Guo Ye was amazed, Cheng Erniu beside him quit immediately after listening to the tone of the little leader.
