Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"Then how can it be?" Falin said aggrievedly: "If the poor monk wants to be rich and famous, he would have passed the Jinshi examination a long time ago. Why should he be a monk? He is serving you, and it is also to promote Buddhism, not just for a month. How much money."

"Then how do you explain the previous dereliction of duty?"

"It's not that the poor monk doesn't want to do things for the Tang Dynasty, but he is really stuck and can't do it."

"You are a famous one-eyed Buddha in the Jianghu, who else can trap your hands and feet?"

"You've seen that person before, it's Zheng Xiliang." He sighed and said, "To be honest, he is the chief envoy to Khitan this time, and I am the deputy envoy."

Guo Ye said: "Didn't you become a national teacher? Why are you still under Zheng Xiliang?"

"Because that old man is stronger than me. You don't know that Zheng Xiliang's name is too loud in Goguryeo. As soon as he shows up, Yuan Nanjian treats him with respect as a teacher and obeys him."

"I heard that Yuan Nanjian handed over all the military power to a man named Jiang Yishi. Compared with Zheng Xiliang..."

"Jiang Yishi's reputation is not small, but because he was not a member of the five Goguryeo tribes, he was not allowed to reuse it before. This time, he was able to take charge of the national army with the support of Zheng Xiliang."

"I see." Guo Ye nodded, and asked again: "You just said that Zheng Xiliang trapped your hands and feet, what do you mean?"

"He has been speaking ill of the poor monk in Yuan Nanjian's ear, so that the poor monk will not be reused. He has also reduced the poor monk's followers. Now, although the poor monk has the title of a national teacher, he has no power at all. I can't do anything for you."

Guo Ye frowned and said, "Does he doubt your identity?"

"Probably not. If he really doubts the poor monk, he can just kill me. Anyway, with his status, no one dares to say anything wrong with him. The poor monk thinks that he may treat me as a villain .”

"That's not easy. If you don't get rid of this person, I'm afraid you won't be able to make achievements in Goguryeo." Guo Ye pondered: "How high do you think his martial arts is?"

"Anyway, it's not difficult to clean up the poor monk."

"Have you been cleaned up by him?"

"Uh...yes. At first the poor monk refused to accept it, but after being beaten by him a few times, he didn't dare to do it again. There is no way, the skill is too far behind."

Guo Ye said: "Then how do you think this person's martial arts compares with Qing Yunzi's?"

"I'm afraid it's between brothers."

"It's about the same as I thought. It's a pity that I didn't bring Feng Yi with me this time. Let the old boy live a few more days."

Guo Ye paused for a moment, then continued to ask: "Do you have any cards for this mission?"

Falin said with a bitter face: "Zheng Xiliang asked the poor monk to be his deputy to prevent me from regaining Yuan Nanjian's trust while he was not in the country. Even if I really have a hole in my hand, I... that's right..."

He suddenly had an idea, and said: "We stayed on Muye Mountain for a long time, and then came to Hebianbu. He should have a good relationship with the great wizard."

"The great wizard is biased towards Goguryeo. Even blind people can see this, so why do you have to tell me?" Guo Ye snorted coldly and said, "Go back first and monitor Zheng Xiliang's every move. If there is anything unusual, I will report it later."

"Yes!"

On the same night, in another yurt.

Zhe Siwu looked solemn, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Ku, this old man wants to discuss something with you."

"The great wizard has something to tell you!"

"Well, in a month's time, the horse race wins, can you lose?"

Brother Ku's expression changed drastically, and he said, "lose...lose? Then Adan she..."

"Of course I want to marry Su Zhi, the prince of the Xi Clan!" Zhe Siwu said, "Qin Guogong of the Tang Dynasty is a smart man. Before the meeting of the Eight-Party Alliance, he would never dare to do anything to provoke us Khitan people, and he would definitely admit defeat. .”

"No... What the disciple means is, why do you have to marry Adan to Su Zhi? Isn't everything in our plan?"

"It is indeed all in the plan. However, after careful consideration, the old man, our plan is really a bit wishful thinking."

"What do you mean by that?"

"It's okay if our Khitan's southward march is successful. But if it fails, we may follow in the footsteps of the Eastern Turks. Therefore, we can only succeed and not fail."

"I know all of this, but what does this have to do with Adan marrying Su Zhi?"

"Of course it does. This requires every detail of our plan to be perfect. For example, it is too unsafe to rely solely on a promise from the prince of the Xi clan to send troops. We must let the people of the Xi clan willingly support us Used."

"So you are going to marry Adam to him?"

"Exactly. Our original plan was to fish him with Xiao Dan first, and then trap him with words. In the end, the Xi tribe sent troops, but Su Zhi didn't get anyone. This calculation was too clever. Will people be able to swallow that breath in the end? The old man is deeply skeptical."

Zhe Siwu paused for a moment, then continued: "Su Zhi has a deep affection for Xiao Dan, if we give him this kind of sweetness, he will feel guilty towards you at that time, and he will definitely make the soldiers and horses of the Xi Clan strictly abide by your orders. Our odds of winning can be increased by at least [-]%!"

"But……"

"There's nothing wrong with that. You've met Su Zhi's people too. Their looks are more than a notch better than yours. Xiao Dan's marriage to him definitely does not mean that she has been humiliated! Don't you like Xiao Dan? Don't you want him to marry him?" She married a wishful man?"

Brother Ku thought for a while, then shook his head again and again, and said, "No! Even if you tell me about Datian, I can't let Adan out! Without her, let alone let me be the Khan of Khitan, just let me The emperor of the Tang Dynasty did not do it either!"

"You...you are so stupid! As long as Khitan is prosperous, what kind of beauty do you want? Xiao Dan is just the number one beauty in Khitan, but there is also the number one beauty in Goguryeo and the number one beauty in Tang Dynasty! For a Xiao Dan , give up so many beauties, is it worth it?"

"I think it's worth it! Even if other women add one piece, it's not as good as Adan's one finger!"

Zhe Siwu was so angry that he trembled all over, and said: "I was really deceived by lard, why did I choose you to be the Khan of Khitan? The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty murdered brothers and sisters, and you can't even bear a woman! Such a love for children, but it looks like they are doing big things?"

Brother Ku didn't argue, but knelt down on the ground and said, "Great wizard, calm down, don't get so angry. How about...you and I will give you a good beating?"

"I...what's the use of me beating you?" Zhe Siwu said helplessly, "What I want is for the prosperity of the tribe, what I want is for Khitan to establish a country, what I want is for you to rule the world, do you understand?"

"Disciple understands! In order to realize Khitan's great prosperity, I am willing to pay any price...except Adan!"

"Why are you so stubborn?"

"I hope the great wizard will be successful!"

Khan's candidate is not a Chinese cabbage. If this one fails, change to another one.Brother Ku refused to listen to advice and insisted on going his own way, and Zhe Siwu had no good solution.

He waved his hand and said, "Well, I can't control you anymore. When the time comes to win the horse race, it depends on who has the better riding skills, you or Su Zhi."

"Don't worry, great wizard, I will definitely win this game."

……

"Teacher, it's not good! You should go and have a look!" Sun Zishan shouted outside the felt tent just as the sun was shining and Guo Ye hadn't gotten up yet.
