Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

After reading the sacrificial oration, Guo Ye couldn't help but burst into tears, and said with tears: "All the children of Huaxia, for my Huaxia expedition to Goguryeo, worked hard and made great achievements, and died as a guest. Guoye, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty, was ordered by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to Take everyone home! Sorry, I, Guo Ye, came late!"

A gust of wind blew away a layer of thin soil on the Skull Mountain, revealing dense white bones. Several skeletons collided with each other and made sounds, as if they had heard Guo Ye's call.

Guo Ye was not afraid. At this moment, he seemed to hear the cries and confides of hundreds of thousands of loyal souls of martyrs.Before they set off, some were newlywed husbands, some were filial sons, some had just become fathers, and some were not yet married.For the unification of China, they embarked on the journey without hesitation.

Fighting on the battlefield, swords and swords, lost in battle, captured and captured.When their families were still looking forward to their triumphant return, when their wives were still dreaming, they had already turned into white bones.

During the chaos, no one knew their exact names, no one knew their past, and no one knew where they went!Maybe their wives are still waiting by the door for their husbands to return?Perhaps their children have grown up and want to find their father and ask him why he left them?Perhaps their parents hadn't seen their son return for a long time, and died in depression...

It's not that they don't want to go back, but they can't!Who would have thought that in the depths of the mountain, a million skeletons built a Beijing temple!What Jingguan is showing off is Goguryeo's illustrious martial arts, but the price is the disintegration of 10,000+ Chinese families!

Tears welled up in Guo Ye's eyes, and a voice kept echoing in his ears - "Revenge! Revenge! Blood for blood, tooth for tooth!".

"Everyone from Huaxia, Shangxiang!"

Guo Ye fell to his knees, threw the tinfoil money into the brazier, and a burst of flames burst into flames.The raging fire made the sky even darker against the background.The sacrificial activity also came to an end.

Master Changsun stepped forward and said, "It's so tragic. It's all due to the incompetence of Emperor Sui Yang. How many good men were buried in Goguryeo. These were all captured, and there are many more who died in battle. I'm afraid they will all be thrown away." It's wild."

Guo Ye wiped away the tears from his face, and said: "The two countries are fighting each other, blood is shed, and the dead are nothing. I hate that Yingyang King, who wanted to kill prisoners. How many people could have survived, but he beheaded them. If this revenge is not avenged, it will be hard for someone Guo to calm down!"

Master Changsun pondered for a while, and said: "Your Majesty has already known about the matter of Skull Mountain. However, this matter is of great importance and it is not an urgent matter, so I did not explain it to the Duke of Pingyang. The Duke of Pingyang will settle this matter." His Majesty will be delighted to know that it is so successful!"

"You said His Majesty already knew?"

"Exactly! But please don't get me wrong, Lord Pingyang, Your Majesty also hates King Yingyang of Goguryeo. However, as the emperor of a country, His Majesty must prioritize everything. Lord Pingyang's trip is of great importance, and His Majesty is not willing to Extra problems arose, so I didn't explain it to the Duke of Pingyang."

Of course Guo Ye knew His Majesty Li Er's intention to swear to destroy Goguryeo, and said: "Your Majesty has far-sighted considerations, how could Guo have complaints against His Majesty, General Changsun is too worried."

That's all I can say, the two courtiers can't openly discuss His Majesty Li Er's thoughts.After being silent for a while, Master Changsun asked: "These bones are going to be transported back to Datang? Can the Duke of Pingyang make arrangements?"

Guo Ye nodded and said: "With the few of us, it's not easy to do this. But it doesn't matter, money can turn ghosts around, I gave Gao Xinde five thousand coins and asked him to arrange a civilian husband to help us Transporting. As long as we reach the Liaohe River, the government of Liucheng County will pick us up, and our task will be completed!"

"Five thousand? Is it too much?"

"I asked Gao Xinde to look for us Han people, so as not to tarnish the remains of these Chinese children. Let's get more, anyway, the fat will not flow to outsiders."

Grandmaster Changsun pondered for a while, and said, "Mr. Pingyang, although those people are Han Chinese, they are now Goguryeo citizens. In fact..."

Guo Ye waved his hand and said, "Brother Changsun, I know what you mean. But their ancestors have lived here for generations and grew up here, and it is difficult to leave their homeland. It is our Han people's incompetence in the court, and Liaodong has been thrown to Goguryeo for hundreds of years. This is not the fault of these Han people. As long as the imperial soldiers come, we can really rely on them! I am willing to treat them as my own."

Master Changsun was still talking, when suddenly he saw a person stumbling across the mountain road, covered in blood, he didn't know if it was his or someone else's.

Changsun Shiyao pointed his hand and reminded: "Mr. Pingyang County, look!"

Guo Ye carefully identified it, vaguely it was Zhang Renyi, a good old man, and quickly ran over, hugged Zhang Renyi, and said, "Brother Zhang, you look flustered and covered in blood, what happened?"

Chapter 1277

Seeing Zhang Renyi covered in blood, Guo Ye's heart tightened.

Today's business, to put it bluntly, is to visit the grave of the dead.Guo Ye felt that it was inappropriate for a little girl like Feifei to appear here, for fear of scaring her.So Feifei was left in the posthouse, and Zhang Renyi was arranged to take care of her.Now Zhang Renyi came running over like this, no need to ask, something happened to Feifei!

Zhang Renyi's throat made a sound, and he was speechless.

Master Changsun looked gloomy, took out a few silver needles, and stuck a few needles in Zhang Renyi's body.

Soon, Zhang Renyi let out a long breath.

Grandmaster Changsun's eyes were red, and he said in a low voice, "Mr. Pingyang, if you have anything to say, please ask quickly. I'm afraid Brother Zhang..."

Zhang Renyi forced a smile, waved his hands and said, "Don't, don't be sad. I know I can't survive. Leave me alone, go save Feifei!"

"What happened to Feifei?"

"Feifei was taken away by Yuan Haiziba. I just stopped them, I beat them, I was useless, I couldn't stop them..."

Guo Ye said: "Brother Zhang, why are you bothering? You are a frail scholar, how can you argue with those warriors?"

Zhang Renyi smiled wryly, and said, "Scholar? Thank you, Lord Pingyang. I, Zhang Renyi, have been doing small business all my life, and I swallowed my anger. Although I consider myself a scholar, no one admits it. I am entrusted by others, and it is a matter of loyalty. You Give Feifei to me, and I will protect her well. Although there are tens of thousands of people, I will go...Pingyang County Lord, do you think I have not read this book in vain?"

Guo Ye nodded with tears in his eyes and said, "Yes, you are a scholar! You are an upright scholar!"

Hearing this, Zhang Renyi's expression suddenly relaxed, and after a satisfied smile, he died forever!

Master Changsun said in a low voice: "Brother Zhang didn't have to die, but he was in a hurry to report to us. He walked too fast, and his injuries became more and more serious. When he got here, he was exhausted!"

Guo Ye was originally resentful, but now that Zhang Renyi died, he only felt his chest swell, his eyes were black, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing. He shouted, "Brothers, let's go! Let's avenge Zhang Renyi!"

Everyone went down the mountain, rode on fast horses, and went straight to Liaodong City.It didn't take an hour to arrive outside Liaodong City, and saw a group of people waiting there far away.

Guo Ye took a closer look and found that it was Gao Xinde, the lord of Liaodong City.

Gao Xinde rode forward and said: "Pingyang County Lord, please stay, Pingyang County Lord, please stay!"

Guo Ye's eyes were red at this moment, and he said, "Gao Xinde, Lord Gao, what do you intend to do by stopping Guo?"

Gao Xinde said: "Mr. Pingyang, do you want to fight Yuanhai Ziba?"

"Oh, you already knew?"

Gao Xinde said with a wry smile: "As soon as something happened in the post, I got a report. I'm here to wait for the Duke of Pingyang."

Guo Ye sneered and said, "In that case, Gao Xinde, which side do you help?"

Gao Xinde said: "Of course Gao has his heart for Duke Pingyang. I have issued an order for the soldiers in the city not to participate in the battle between Lord Pingyang and Deputy City Lord Yuan. But you also know that Yuanhai Ziba has three thousand dead soldiers under his command. You have less than 200 people, going to attack is tantamount to hitting a stone with a pebble! There is a saying, the general will not raise troops out of anger, and I hope the Duke of Pingyang think twice."

Guo Ye calmed down a bit at this time, Yuan Haiziba is not a good stump, and his 200 people beat him to 3000 people, I am afraid it will be for nothing.Originally avenging a friend, death is nothing.It's scary, I'm afraid, if my group dies in vain, it won't hurt a single hair of Yuan Haiziba.If that's the case, it will make the world laugh.

Guo Ye said: "City Master Gao is here, he must have a good opinion, and someone Guo is all ears!"

Gao Xinde said: "I heard that Yuanhai Ziba captured the family members of the Duke of Pingyang? Why don't we let him go first, and then we'll make a fuss! The old man is going with you this time, and he attacked the posthouse without authorization. Makes sense!"

Guo Ye and Gao Xinde came to the gate of Yuan Hai Ziba's mansion, but they saw that Yuan Hai Ziba had already been standing outside the mansion waiting for a long time.The soldiers behind them drew their bows and unsheathed their knives, eager to try.

Yuanhai Ziba asked knowingly, and said: "Master Gao did not expect that you have such a good relationship with Duke Pingyang, and you came here hand in hand. I don't know what's the point of finding someone from Yuan?"

Gao Xinde knew that he was ridiculing that he knew foreign countries, so he didn't talk nonsense with him, and asked: "Yuanhai Ziba, you attacked the post without authorization, do you want to rebel?"

Yuan Haiziba shook his head and said, "Attack the posthouse? I dare not do that. At that time, there were only two people in the posthouse, both of whom were my Goguryeo citizens, and they were all under my rule in Liaodong City. Why did you attack?"

Guo Ye said: "That Zhang Renyi was killed by you?"

Yuan Haiziba laughed and said, "Zhang Renyi is dead? That's right, I sent someone to beat him, so what. He is a citizen of Goguryeo, and he obstructed the government's handling of the case. Isn't it justified for me to kill him? Those who say that even if I surrendered to kill Zhang Renyi, I will have my Goguryeo court to punish me, so don't worry about Pingyang County Duke!"

Gao Xinde said: "Then why did you abduct the family members of Duke Pingyang?"

"Family, what family? You mean Zheng Feifei? Is there a marriage certificate? Is there a contract of prostitution?"
