Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

A loud gong sounded, and Chen Sanfu stepped into the Qinghu, bowed and saluted, and said, "Mr. Qin, it's already five watch. In half an hour, it will be dawn. Is your news accurate?" Ah, can Zheng Xiliang come?"

"This is the news from the spy I arranged next to him. How can it be inaccurate? General Chen, don't take it lightly. Let me tell you, at dawn, it is the time when people are most relaxed. If I were Zheng Xiliang, I would be there This is the time to start."

"Is there still such a reason? You have been educated in a humble position!"

Half an hour later, the east was pale.After another half an hour, the red sun was thin and the sky was bright.

Chen Sanfu said: "Duke Qin, look..."

"Uh..." Guo Ye looked embarrassed and said, "Maybe it's because the officer's information is wrong. It seems that old thief Zheng won't..."

At this moment, someone shouted loudly outside the Qinglu, saying: "The big thing is not good, take me to see Qin Guogong!"

Guo Ye took a few steps, came to the door, and said: "I am here, who are you?"

"For Qin Guogong, I am the Minister of Fenwen, old Asari."

"Asari, what are you looking for from me?"

"Go and have a look, my lord, he...he..."

"How about it?"

"died!"

"How did you die?"

"Being victimized by someone."

"Who killed him?"

"It seems to be Zheng Xiliang, the envoy of Goguryeo!"

"Ah?" Guo Ye's expression changed drastically, and he said, "Take me to see it!"

Speeding up the horse, it took less than a quarter of an hour to arrive at the camp of the Fenwen army.At this time, the adults from other ministries also arrived, and their faces were not very good-looking.

They rushed to report the details of the matter to Guo Ye.

It turned out that just last night, Li Taihe, the master of Fen Wenbu, and the four guards and two concubines in the big tent were all silently killed by Zheng Xiliang.

Not only that, he also left a letter to protest.

Guo Ye took the letter and read it. It was not bad. Zheng Xiliang was really worthy of him. The letter was written quite elegantly.

Qin Guogong is above: the little old man came here on the moon last night, and I wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with Qin Guogong.However, you are heavily guarded, and old people cannot enter through the door.In desperation, Fen asked the Ministry and his party.

Fortunately, Master Fen Wenbu established Taihe, who was generous and generous, and lived on the blood from his neck, which made the trip worthwhile for the little old man, and he returned with satisfaction.

Tonight, the little old man will return.

……

Guo Ye pondered for a long time after reading it, and said, "What do you think?"

With a sad face on his face, Mohui said, "I'm in a mess, I'm afraid I can't send troops today."

Guo Ye nodded and said: "Li Taihe just died like this, it really doesn't make sense if we don't avenge him."

"Not only that." Mo Hui said: "In order to repay your life-saving grace, everyone went to Goguryeo. Even if they died in battle, they would have no regrets. But why are our family members who stayed on the grassland innocent?"

"Family, what's the matter with the family?"

"Of course it's related. You also read that letter, it was really murderous. Zheng Xiliang couldn't get your idea, so he killed Li Taihe. If we can't even find it, will he take it out on the old and weak on the grassland? "

"It's really possible! This old guy is already shameless, he is a terrorist."

"So, we have already decided. We must capture this old man before we can send troops to Goguryeo with you. This is my broken promise, and I hope Duke Qin will forgive me!"

If Zheng Xiliang played this game against other countries, it would definitely not work.Even if people don't resist and stretch their necks to kill him, how many people can he kill alone?

As long as the leader is determined, he cannot stop the army.

But Khitan is different.In the final analysis, Khitan is not a country, but a tribal alliance, without a real power center.

With such a threat from him, everyone really made up their minds, they were all afraid that Li Taihe's fate would fall on themselves and their family members.If we don't get rid of this threat, we won't send troops.

At this moment, Zheng Xiliang really had the effect that one person can be a million soldiers.

Since he wanted something from others, Guo Ye really couldn't force it, and said: "Then everyone should be more vigilant tonight. If he comes again, we can't let him run away."

"Don't worry, Qin Guogong. Last time, he was the one who did the mental calculations but didn't care. If he can get out of it this time, I won't need you to tell me, I will wipe my neck myself. It would be too shameful."

Guo Ye sighed and said, "Don't talk so full, I'm really not optimistic about this matter."

"Then just wait and see, he will either not come, or he won't be able to leave when he comes!"

……

That night, the entire army was still on strict alert, just waiting for Zheng Xiliang to come to die.In the end, he was not stupid, so of course he didn't come.

The next day, Guo Ye could still strictly observe discipline, but the Khitan Babu inevitably slacked off.

As a result, Zheng Xiliang broke into the camp, killing more than a dozen people, and Master Fubu was also seriously injured.Not only that, but this time he also left two letters.

One was for Guo Ye and the elders of the Khitan tribes, but one was for Su Zhi, the prince of the Xi clan.

The letter to Guo Ye was nothing new, nothing more than a blatant threat.

As for the letter to Su Zhi, it was understood with reason and moved with emotion.

He told Su Zhi, your country of Xi does not border Goguryeo, and you have no grudges with us in the past, and you have no grudges in the near future, so why bother to come to this muddy water?

It is better to withdraw to the country as soon as possible, and sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight for the time being.

If our country fails, I don't object to you adding insult to injury. Anyway, at that time, there will not be many Xi clans if there are more of you, and there will be many Xi clans if you are missing.

If our Goguryeo wins, your Xi people can go south in a big way and strengthen their power.

So the best of both worlds, why not do it?

If you listen to my good advice, even if I owe you a favor, I can ask the old man to do something for you in the future.But if you don't listen to me, Li Taihe is a lesson for you.

The old king of the Xi family has only one son like you.If you have three good things and two bad things, a great country, you have to fall into the hands of others.What's the use of making great achievements even if you set them up?It's not about making wedding clothes for others.

After reading the letter, Su Zhi said to Guo Ye: "Zheng Xiliang, this old guy is really talented. If it weren't for the special relationship between you and me, I might have been persuaded."

Guo Ye said: "He can move the Khitan people, but at most it's just a threat to you. If he kills you, the old king of the Xi clan is still there. He has set up a life-and-death enemy for Goguryeo. He doesn't will do that."
