Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 893

Immediately, he showed great interest and asked: "Okay, I will cooperate with you in this play, tell me how to operate it, and you can tell me the rules."

Seeing Guo Ye nodding in agreement, Yu Wenqian rarely showed a hint of joy on her face, and then said: "Since Murong Yan's people are on the way now, and time is running out, I will make a long story short and try to put everything on the agenda as soon as possible. First of all, you must dispatch the troops from the Xichuan Protectorate's Mansion as quickly as possible, and station them in Tuyuhun Bailan City, so that they can take control of Bailan City in the first place."

Guo Yeqi said: "The Xichuan Governor's Mansion has at most a few thousand troops, why come to Tuyuhun enough?"

Yu Wenqian said: "It's just for show, without the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty stationed in Tuyuhun, how can you be convincing for your achievements in opening up territories?"

Guo Ye suddenly realized, and said in surprise: "Understood, you are bluffing, yes, acting. Well, you continue..."

Yu Wenqian said: "Secondly, I will give you the tiger talisman of soldiers and horses of Tuyuhun Kingdom. You ask Uncle Wang to lead his men to the border between Tuyuhun and Tubo Kingdom. There are [-] Tuyuhun soldiers and horses there. Calm down. For these Tuyuhun soldiers, they only recognize the tiger talisman but not people. As long as the tiger talisman arrives, they will never act rashly, let alone leave the border line."

"Again, you have to send [-]-mile fast riders to Chang'an. It is best to stop the clothes and belts before Murong Yan's people meet Li Shimin. But it doesn't matter if you can't stop them. Then you let your people seize The victory report of the Tuyuhun Kingdom was delivered to Li Shimin. Hmph, with his wild and ambitious nature, how could he care about Murong Yan's life and death? Let alone such things as clothes and belts. As far as I know, for the special geographical location of Tuyuhun The location, not only Tubo Zanpu, Western Turkic Khan, but even Li Shimin have been coveting. It has always been the dream of Li Yuan and Li Shimin's father and son to merge Tuyuhun into the Tang Dynasty. I think, the moment I receive your good news, He will definitely not wait to order Li Jing's army stationed in East Turkic to officially begin to move into Tuyuhun in order to quickly stabilize the situation in Tuyuhun."

Good trick!

After hearing her words, Guo Ye had to secretly praise the woman's calm and unhurried tactics, and her understanding of His Majesty Li Er, every word really hit the point.

However, he also had his worries, and asked, "Then what if the princes and ministers of Tuyuhun who are temporarily submitting to you will do? What if after the army of Li Jing and others enters Tuyuhun, they have slipped their mouths and are found out about you and me?" It’s just acting, wouldn’t all previous efforts be wasted?”

Yu Wenqian shook her head, and said in an extremely flat tone: "Don't worry about this, before I lead Dongchang to evacuate Bailan City, I will deal with these princes and ministers one by one. Anyone who has contact with me or has seen my deity The princes and ministers of the Tuyuhun, cut grass and roots, and did not leave a single one behind. Before they surrendered, there were my secret spies from Dongchang in their mansions. As long as I give an order, the mansions of these princes and ministers will definitely be restless and blood will flow like rivers!!!”

hiss……

Hearing the ruthless words of this girl, Guo Ye couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. They are really ruthless. He still uses them with his front feet, but he will kill them with his back feet.

It seems that once a woman becomes ruthless, no hooligan can stop her.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Wenqian said again: "As for me, in order to cover up my whereabouts and prevent Li Shimin from investigating further, I will adopt the method of feigning death. Before I leave, I will directly set a fire and burn the Tuyuhun Palace to the ground. When the time comes, the corpses of some palace officials will be left in it, and they will be burnt beyond recognition like coke. You only need to declare that I burned myself to death, and I have already been buried in the sea of ​​flames. Li Shimin will not believe me."

Uh……

Burning Tuyuhun palace to cover up his whereabouts?

It's a shame this girl can figure it out!

It is really a pity to burn such a large and magnificent palace, to be honest.

But Guo Ye had to rely on Yu Wenqian to let them go on like this.

Because he didn't know how to persuade Yu Wenqian.

It was impossible for him to tell Yu Wenqian in person: You don't need to fake your death, because Murong Yanya didn't send another person to send clothes and belts to Chang'an, so His Majesty Li Er would never know that you are still alive.

He can't say this even if he is killed, he would rather Yu Wenqian do a fake show and burn down the Tuyuhun palace than let Yu Wenqian know that he is fooling her.

Otherwise, the series of hard work to persuade him to give up his crazy plan would have been in vain.

That's all, let her play around and act recklessly, as long as she is willing to stay dormant for a while.

Yu Wenqian didn't know what Guo Ye was thinking. Seeing Guo Ye's shocked expression, she mistakenly thought that the other party was also shocked by her feigned death to cover up her whereabouts, and she couldn't help feeling disdainful.

Then he said: "Don't feel unbearable. A mere Tuyuhun palace will be burned down. It's no big deal. Li Shimin will definitely not blame you for it. Besides, if you don't act out the drama so clearly, how can you win the trust?" For others? My plan is extremely thorough, and I will never find a single flaw."

Guo Ye chuckled, nodded and said dully, "That's right, it's realistic enough."

It was rare for Guo Ye to praise himself, and Yu Wenqian's complexion improved a lot, and she said kindly: "Although you and I are acting this time, your dedication to soil is definitely real. You will return to Chang'an in the future The city must be extremely beautiful and glorious. Hehe, then you will be waiting for 'wearing a scarlet robe, and being famous all over the world'! Guo Ye, you said that this gift from my concubine is really not insignificant. Bar?"

Guo Ye glanced at her, curled his lips and said: "You don't have to take credit for me, and now I'm tied to this thief ship by you. I deserve it. Besides, I didn't take advantage of you for nothing. , You also picked peaches from Lao Tzu’s Dongchang, how do you settle this account? So, you and I are just mutual benefit, each takes what we need, no one owes anyone else.”

Yu Wenqian didn't expect that Guo Ye would be so shameless that she wouldn't say even a soft word, and she couldn't help feeling a little angry.

But when Guo Ye mentioned Dongchang, she couldn't help but think of those hidden chess pieces that Guo Ye had planted in Dongchang before.

These few dark chess pieces were like a gleaming guillotine hanging above her head, keeping her awake at night.

Especially when she was about to fight in Tubo and hibernate, if she couldn't find these hidden chess pieces, she would be even more apprehensive.If Guo Ye's dark game is not eliminated, she will not be able to go to Dongchang with complete peace of mind.

Then she asked tentatively: "Guo Ye, how many hidden chess pieces have you planted in Dongchang? Since you and I are now shaking hands and working together, why don't you tell me your dark chessboards? "

"Pooh!"

Guo Ye spat mercilessly: "Yu Wenqian, do you think I'm a fool? If I tell you about those hidden chess pieces, you can remove them one by one, right? Yu Wenqian, these dark chess pieces I will definitely not start the game easily if it is not a last resort. I just want you to be trembling all day long and be afraid. Otherwise, hum, you will really ride on my head one day and shit and domineering. Okay. I will definitely not tell you about Dark Chess, because I will put a few sharp knives around you to guard against you at all times. Otherwise, do you think I, Guo Ye, grew up with the guts of a bear? How dare you Cooperating with you tigress carelessly? Cooperating with others is called cooperation, and cooperating with you is called seeking skins from tigers, do you understand?"

"you……"

Yu Wenqian was so angry with Guo Ye's words that she almost went crazy, as if someone had stabbed her heart with a few thorns.

Now that the matter has been discussed almost, Guo Ye was about to get up when he suddenly remembered a very important matter that seemed to have not been finished or settled.

Immediately, he asked: "By the way, your puppet Khan Murong Yan, what do you plan to do with it? Release him? Or continue to keep him under surveillance?"

"Murong Yan?"

When Yu Wenqian heard these three words, there was a strong sinister look in both her face and her tone.

She was a little dull, and suddenly said in a cold voice: "If he hadn't been restless and secretly sent someone to send clothes and belts into Chang'an, how could this concubine be willing to give up the Tuyuhun foundation that he managed so hard? Besides, he withdrew from Tuyuhun , do you think he has any value that can be used?"

Guo Ye silently sympathized with Murong Yan, this unlucky Khan was in the hands of Yu Wenqian, and it was really bad enough.

But the poor man must have something to hate. Thinking back, Yu Wenqian killed his father and brother for him, but he did not lack advice and assistance, and he was very happy.

A person who can think of ways to harm even his father and elder brother is indeed not worthy of sympathy.

Immediately, he asked, "Then what do you want to do with this person?"

Hearing Guo Ye's question again, Yu Wenqian stopped looking at him, but slowly lowered her head, fiddled with the hem of her skirt, and smoothed out the wrinkles.

After a short while, she slowly raised her head to take a look at Guo Ye, and said in an extremely flat tone, as if she was dealing with a trivial matter in life: "It's useless for such a person to stay in Tuyuhun." As a future trouble, it is a waste of food to take it with you to Tubo. How about—"

In an instant, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he said in shocking words: "It's better to kill it, so as to avoid future troubles!!!"

Chapter 718 Seeing Through, That's Enough!

Two days later, a month of dark and windy nights.

Murder night!

In just one night, [-] residences of princes and ministers in Bailan City were destroyed.There are a total of thousands of people in these eighteen families, from the master to the servants, old and young, women and children, all of them were slaughtered.

It's really tragic and outrageous!

All of a sudden, the disaster spread throughout the entire Bailan City, and everywhere there were rumors and panic.As soon as it gets dark, every household in the city, no matter if it is a wealthy family or a commoner, is scrambling to stay behind closed doors, fearing that powerful people will fly in and cause disasters.

Coincidentally!

Just before the massacre of the Eighteen Families was solved and the aftermath of the panic in the city hadn't subsided, only five days later, and another dark night, the Tuyuhun Palace located in the very center of Bailan City caught fire.

The fire was so intense that it spread throughout the forbidden garden of the royal palace and burned for a full day and night. It was not until the evening of the next day that the fire was slightly relieved and brought under control after all efforts to put out the fire.
