Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"Oh?"

Then Guo Ye exclaimed, put away those horrifying eyes, twisted his neck slightly, sat back in his original position, frowned and said, "I'm relieved when you say that, hehe, your old man is amazing. Da Guang, you can even find out the troops I hid in the mountains on the other side of Xichuan."

Seeing that Guo Ye put away his hostility and vigilance and returned to his normal appearance, Li Jing felt a little more at ease.

Then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said proudly: "Boy Guo, how can there be an impenetrable wall in this world? Ever since you successfully rescued the King of Shu and his party from the capital of the Tubo Kingdom last time and returned to the Tang Dynasty, I feel a little unbelievable." Tsk tsk, it might not be possible to rescue the hostages from the capital city of a country without any damage, even if it is the battalion of soldiers trained by the old man himself, it may not be possible. But your mysterious army can do this, how can you Doesn't it arouse the old man's curiosity? So, since that incident, the old man has been secretly thinking about it. No, the news of this army was sent back a few days ago. Hehe, you are hiding very deeply and covering it tightly. ?”

After listening to Li Jing's words, Guo Ye secretly reflected. It seems that there is no Dongchang in Xichuan Tuwa City, and it really can't hide the secret.It seems that I have to speed up and take Dongchang into my own hands again.

However, he didn't want to continue to entangle Li Jing on this issue, and asked directly: "Mr. Wei, tell me, what do you need my army to do? You still have to hide it from the emperor, definitely not For the affairs of state."

Li Jing said: "Didn't you say it just now? It was just to warm up this girl."

Guo Ye was suspicious in his heart, and wanted to use his own special forces for Yu Nuannuan. Could it be that Li Jing didn't want to agree to Changsun Wuji's marriage proposal, so he simply wanted to use Miji's special forces to directly enter Chang'an, slaughtered the whole of Changsun's mansion, and died forever. future trouble?

This is ridiculous, unreliable, and totally not Li Jing's style of doing things.

Li Jing looked at Guo Ye's flickering eyes, knowing that this kid must be suspicious again, and immediately clarified: "Okay, don't think about it, let me tell you the truth, the old man wants to borrow the one you hid in the Xichuan mountain forest. Send a mysterious army to escort Nuannuan back to Fuyu country. By the way, let your army stay in Fuyu country temporarily to help Zhang Zhongjian. After all, Fuyu country is an overseas island country, and it lacks elite soldiers and good generals. It is the lack of war preparations. It is not easy for a small island country to fight against other countries for nearly ten years at the same time, but if things go on like this, there will be a day when the Fuyu country can no longer hold on. At that time, the day of the country's destruction is not far away So, this time, the old man intends to let Nuan Nuan spend a lot of money to buy war supplies along the coast, and bring them to Fuyu country together."

Guo Ye subconsciously took over the conversation when he heard the words, and asked back: "At the same time, letting Nuan Nuan temporarily leave the Central Plains and return to Fuyu can also avoid the eldest grandson Wuji's marriage proposal and refuse him politely. Is it?"

"Cough cough." Li Jing covered his mouth and gave a dry cough, and said with a wry smile, "Nuan Nuan is unwilling to marry into the grandson's mansion, how can I force this child? No matter how small Fuyu is or an island country, Nuan Nuan is still the princess of a country, I am sure We must respect her wishes and choices. Guo boy, how about it? Are you willing to temporarily borrow the mysterious army in your hands for this old man?"

Guo Ye didn't agree immediately, but he didn't refuse either.

He fell silent and thought about it secretly. Now he also understood why Li Jing said just now that His Majesty Li Er should not know about this matter, and with Li Jing's current status, His Majesty Li Er must not let His Majesty Li Er know.

Thinking about it, it is also the same reason. Although Li Jing has a close relationship with the bearded man and the red girl, since the Fuyu country has become its own country, he can't help it openly as the Duke of the Great Tang Army Shenwei.After all, it is also related to the interests of Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, Dongying and other countries.

And these countries and Datang are currently in a peaceful foreign policy. If Li Jing goes to aid Fuyu without the consent of the Emperor of Tang, once this matter is known to other countries, once it reaches the ears of His Majesty Li Er , will definitely cause a lot of disturbance and trouble.

At least, with his current prestige and status in the army, his Majesty Li Er will definitely arouse suspicion.Master of high power?Or is there no king in sight?

No matter what it is, it can be infinitely magnified by those with a heart.

Guo Ye also understood that this was the real reason why Li Jing asked him for help.Otherwise, with Li Jing's prestige in the army, if there is an order, is it possible that he will not be able to mobilize capable soldiers from the state capitals along the coast to go to sea to support Fuyu?

However, the topic has come to this point, and everything is on the table. So, should this special force be borrowed or not?

Guo Ye thought for a while, since Miji and the others have been training in the deep mountains and old forests, and there is no need for them to perform any special tasks in the Central Plains or in the frontiers, then it would be fine to lend Li Jing to go to Fuyu country by sea.

Idle is also idle, and it happens to be able to gain some actual combat experience, and being familiar with combat experience in different places is not a bad thing.

In particular, this can also be used as an opportunity to show kindness to the bearded man and the Hongfu woman couple in Fuyu, and let them owe him a favor, which may be useful in the future.

However, Guo Ye also has his own little Jiujiu. Li Jing only borrowed this special force from himself with the benefit of a little rite minister, the left servant. Isn't that too cheap for this old guy?

Miji and the others went to Fuyu country not to go on vacation to bask in the sun, but to help people fight with real swords and guns. One is not good, but it will kill people.

Calculated in this way, this deal seems a bit uneconomical.

Immediately, Guo Ye nodded and replied softly: "Old General, since you said this, I will definitely help you. However, this army is small in number, but its combat capability is extremely strong. It was cultivated by the younger generation painstakingly. It took several years to achieve today's achievements. And you don't know, in order to cultivate this special force, I have exhausted financial, material and manpower. Not to mention anything else, just the selection of personnel, although it is not the case One, but they are all first-class good sons. In case, they go to Fuyu country and something goes wrong, then..."

"Okay, the old man knows that you kid won't let go so easily!"

When Li Jing saw that Guo Ye started bargaining again, he couldn't help but frowned, interrupted his endless spitting, and said, "I have already expected that your kid is smarter than a ghost, so I will help you to be promoted back to the Ministry of Rites as Zuo Shilang It's just a small benefit, after you return to Chang'an, I will give you another big gift, how about it?"

Guo Ye's eyes lit up immediately, and he asked anxiously, "What kind of gift?"

Li Jing shook his head, obviously he didn't want to say it now, but he said: "When will your army go to Fuyu country with Nuannuan, I will honor this great gift, well, the time is not up It's early, you kid, go back quickly. I hope you hurry up and arrange your mysterious team, oh yes, arrange your special forces team out of Xichuan as soon as possible, the name is quite appropriate."

Guo Ye saw that Li Jing was unwilling to talk about it now, and thought to himself, since the position of the left servant of the Ministry of Rites is only a small benefit, then this big gift must be of great importance, and he is looking forward to it.

Immediately, Guo Ye wiped his face with his hands, regained his senses, stood up energetically again, and said goodbye, "Okay, the younger generation will go back first, old general, just listen to me."

After saying that, Guo Ye walked away.

"Wait~"

As soon as he walked to the door of the dining room, Li Jing suddenly stopped Guo Ye and asked, "Guo boy, I am suddenly curious about one thing. When I exposed you for hiding a private army in Xichuan, your boy put on that look The poised forward posture, and the murderous intent on your body, could it be that you had the idea of ​​shooting the old man to death on the spot?"

Guo Ye stopped in his tracks and turned his back to Li Jing. When Li Jing mentioned this, he couldn't help showing a bit of horror on his face, but it was fleeting.

Immediately, he put a harmless smile on his face, and said in a silly way: "Old general, look at what you said, the younger generation has always respected the old general, how could he do such a thing? Thinking too much Well, you old man is distrusting the younger generation. Forget it, I'd better stay and talk to you before we go."

"roll roll roll!"

Li Jing waved away Guo Ye suddenly in disgust, and shouted: "I'm sleepy, leave now!"

Guo Ye laughed, and then walked towards the gate of Duke Wei's mansion with his head raised.

Under the moonlight, Li Jing looked at the back of Guo Ye going away, and there was an intriguing smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was not angry or dissatisfied with Guo Ye. Boy, under the cunning and oily appearance, there is such a cruel heart hidden. Compared with the old man back then, he is really much stronger..."

After talking to himself for a while, Li Jing's face suddenly became depressed, and he suddenly asked himself, Li Jing, Li Jing, is it because Lian Po is old and can still eat?Or, the veteran is late, the hero is short of breath?

Chapter 845

The sky was full of stars, and the night was darker and dew was heavier. Guo Ye came out of Weiguo Duke's Mansion, braved the cold wind and wandered in the city, and soon returned to Hou's Mansion in Taipingfang.

At this time, the gate of the Hou Mansion was closed tightly, and most of the servants had already gone to bed early.

Guo Ye knocked on the door of the Hou Mansion, not wanting to disturb the servants too much, so he went back to his room to sleep earlier.

But the doorman stopped him and said in a low voice: "Master Yu, Mr. Yu Shinan came over to the mansion after dinner and has been waiting for you in the study. He still refuses to leave, saying that he must see you."

Guo Ye was astonished and rushed to the study immediately, muttering to himself on the way, he still won't go back at this point, is it possible that Yu Shinan has something urgent to see me?

As soon as he got to the door of the study, he didn't bother to knock on the door, he just pushed the door and walked in. He saw Yu Shinan squatting next to the charcoal stove and warming himself by the fire.

Seeing Guo Ye's sudden entry, Yu Shinan stood up in shock, and the first thing he blurted out was to ask, "Why are you back?"

Guo Yeqi said: "Your Majesty asked a strange question. This is my home, so of course I'm coming back. But you, my lord, why are you still working at my house in the middle of the night?"

"No." Yu Shinan shook his head again and again, and corrected, "I didn't mean that, I was asking you, why did you return to Chang'an from Yangzhou? Don't you know that governors of various prefectures are not allowed to return to Beijing without an order? Those censors know about this, and they must give you a hard copy tomorrow morning."

"Uh……"

Suddenly, Guo Ye's face showed a bit of embarrassment, and he shouted regret in his heart, mother, how could I be so careless?How could such a taboo be left behind?

The governors of all states and the captains of all prefectures were not allowed to enter Beijing without an order.

This is the charter established at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty.This is not only a rigid rule for local officials, but also a kind of embankment guarded by the emperor for officials in various places.

Alas, to be so careless, what a fool!

Guo Ye slapped his forehead suddenly, but he couldn't tell about Yu Nuannuan's message, otherwise he would definitely provoke Yu Shinan's scolding.After all, it must be even more wrong in Yu Shinan's eyes to abolish the public because of personal interests, and to commit such a big confusion because of a woman's affairs.

Yu Shinan saw that Guo Ye didn't reply for a while, and then asked: "Could it be that you also heard the news of Li Gangyao's resignation in Yangzhou? Then you returned to Chang'an rashly, just to make up for the lack of Shangshu in the Ministry of Rites? Guo Ye, Guo Ye, Why are you not so worry-free? How long have you been in Yangzhou? Do you feel that you have done a few beautiful things in Yangzhou, and you can’t hold back your loneliness and want to move? Alas... ...What do you want me to say about you, hurry up, hurry up, quick success is not a good sign!"
