Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"No way, you are the King of Qin..."

"What about King Qin? Don't say it's me, I'm afraid even His Majesty will not take revenge for you lightly."

"why?"

Guo Ye said: "Let's open the skylight and speak frankly. For you Liao people, the imperial court is simply restraining you, as long as you don't make trouble. All internal affairs are handled by you yourself. Even if something really happens, the imperial court will It’s not easy to interfere.”

Lei Shuyao's eyes lit up, and she said, "I won't intervene easily? Is it still possible to intervene?"

"It's not impossible to intervene, but it must be a large-scale dispute. As for your family's matter, it only involved two lives. The court will definitely not intervene."

Guo Ye paused for a moment, then continued: "Let's do this, it's not a problem for your siblings to be in the Jianghu. I'll write a letter to Yang Sheng, so that he can look down on me and don't make things difficult for your siblings. As for your parents There is nothing I can do to help.”

Lei Shuyao thought for a while, then shook her head slowly, and said: "No, even if Yang Shengming dared not deal with our siblings because of your face, he would not dare to attack us secretly? Reported a sudden illness and died, would you still do it for us? Can we take revenge?"

Guo Ye frowned and said, "Then what do you say?"

"I still ask Duke Qin to avenge the slave family. To be honest, although my parents were killed by Yang Sheng, our Lei family still has some latent power among the Liao people. Although it is not as good as Yang Sheng, it should not be underestimated. If King Qin is willing, these forces can be used by you."

"The hidden forces in the Liao people? Since they are hidden, they must be invisible?" Guo Ye shook his head slightly, and said: "Since the Lei family is gone, how many of these latent forces can still be used by you? I'm afraid no one can say no." clear."

"In addition to these forces, our Lei family still has hidden money, about 100 million. If Qin Guogong..."

Guo Ye waved his hand and said, "Money is not a problem for me at all, so don't bring up this topic again."

Lei Shuyao gritted her teeth, and said: "Apart from money and power, our Lei family is also good at the art of Gu poison, and has a great reputation among the Liao people. If Qin Guogong can avenge Lei's family, Shuyao is willing to offer this art. "

Hearing this, Guo Ye couldn't help but feel his heart move.

It's not that he is so afraid of the so-called Gu poison technique.In fact, he felt that the matter was pure fiction.The reason is very simple, in the army of the Tang court, there is no one who specializes in restraining Gu.If the Gu technique is really that powerful, why should the Liaoren submit to the Tang Dynasty?

But, then again, he didn't believe it. Wouldn't it be enough for Liao people and ordinary Tang officers and soldiers to believe it?With Lei Shuyao in my hands, the morale of both sides is going up and down. Does it matter who wins and who loses?

In addition, the reason why the Tang Dynasty detains the bureaucrats is not only that they do not pay taxes and do corvees, but also give them property.

This place has high mountains and dense forests, and miasma and plague are rampant. Over time, there are legends of Gu art.Although the Gu technique is fake, the miasma plague is real.The Tang army was dissatisfied with the climate here, and non-combat attrition was very serious.To send out the army, to a large extent, it is not to fight against the Liao people, but to fight against nature.

Now with Lei Shuyao's "breaking Gu technique" to minimize the impact of miasma, Tang Jun's chances of winning are even greater.

Also, although the remnants of the Lei family don't know how many are left, they are better than nothing. Having these guides who are familiar with the inside information is another great benefit for Tang Jun.

In the end, the human heart is miserable.When Yang Sheng was a tribal leader, he thought of a ruler.After the bureaucrats, will they miss Datang's Huahuajiangshan?

Counting from these aspects, it seems that for Datang, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages for Lei Shuyao to avenge?

Guo Ye thought for a while, and said: "If you want to avenge you, you have to wipe out Yang Sheng's troops. The impact is too great. Even if the court intends to do so, it must be done slowly. The shortest period is two or three years, and the longest period is five or six years." , I wonder if you can afford to wait?"

Lei Shuyao said: "At this point, apart from the imperial court, who else can the slave family rely on? As long as King Qin is willing to help, the slave family will be satisfied."

"Well, you can stay by my side for the time being. No matter how arrogant Yang Sheng is, he will never dare to think of the people around me. When the time is right, I will naturally persuade the court to send troops to the southwest. Do you agree with this arrangement? "

"It's up to King Qin's thousand years to decide."

……

……

After everything was over, Guo Ye ordered people to build a prison car, put Xue Qun on it, and took Lei Shuyao and his sister with him, and headed straight to Chang'an in a mighty way.

With a prison car, it is not easy to travel around the mountains and rivers, and the team of Guo Ye and others suddenly increased.On April 15th of the [-]th year of Zhenguan, this team arrived at Changlepo.

Guo Ye raised his eyes and saw the flags and belts fluttering.The [-] army, with bright helmets and armor, was divided into five teams and stood neatly.

In front of the team, there are two lines of officials, with about four or five hundred people.

What surprised Guo Ye the most was that the leader was in his 40s, with a hooked nose, wolf-like eyes, a purple gold crown and a golden dragon robe. He was tall and majestic.

This person is His Majesty Li Er.

Guo Ye's heart turned cold, and he thought to himself, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are putting me on the fire!

Chapter 2005 Cooking Oil on Fire

Is Guo Ye's contribution to the East Conquest this time?Still pretty big, to be fair.Not to mention that most of the Goguryeo city was brought down by him.Just saying that with 2000 people to stop the enemy in the end, it can be said that the lives of tens of thousands of Tang troops, including His Majesty Li Er, were saved.

Not to mention that Guo Ye repeatedly defeated the enemy army, burned Pyongyang City, and even captured Yuan Nanjian's grandfather Yuan Taejo back to Chang'an City.

Coupled with the fact that he captured Xue Yantuo's Khan alive this time, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has made great achievements.

However, after making such a great contribution, is it worthy of the emperor's welcome?

That's not necessarily true.

You must know that now that the Tang Dynasty is well established, no matter whether it is Goguryeo or Xue Yantuo, compared with the Tang Dynasty, they cannot be regarded as opponents of the same level.

Defeating them is a great achievement, but if it is worthy of the emperor's welcome... I am afraid most people will not think so.

To give a simple example, at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty's rise of troops, he used to be a minister of the Turks. After His Majesty Li Er ascended the throne, he had to form a Weishui alliance with the Eastern Turks.

However, it is such a big country. After Guo Ye captured Jieli Khan alive, did the emperor welcome him?No!Absolutely not!Not only did he not have Jiaoying, on the contrary, he even used the small crime of taking a concubine privately to offset his merits and demerits.

Although this was related to Guo Ye's low status at the time, it is not difficult to see from another aspect how difficult it was for the emperor to welcome him.

The last time Tianzijiao welcomed Guo Ye back from his mission, on the one hand, His Majesty Li Er strongly requested it, and on the other hand, Zhang Liang and others fueled the flames.

So what is the reason today?Is there any trap?No one tipped off the news!

In fact, not only did no one tell Guo Ye the inside story of this matter, but also the news about Tianzi Jiaoying, which he didn't know at all beforehand.

The notification from the imperial court was only that the servant of the minister shot Li Jing to welcome him on behalf of the emperor, which is what the title should mean.Unexpectedly, in the end, Li Jing was replaced by His Majesty Li Er!

Guo Ye ran a few steps, came to His Majesty Li Er, knelt down on the ground, and said: "Minister Guo Ye sees my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

"Aiqing has worked so hard, please hurry up!" His Majesty Li Er clasped his hands together, and continued: "You already know the news that I named you the King of Qin, right?"

"The minister has already known, thank you Your Majesty."

"That's good, Dong Shun."

Shun Gong said: "The servant is here."

"Hurry up and bring over the crown of King Qin, and let King Qin wear it."

"According to the order."

Dong Shun beckoned, and several young eunuchs came over with lacquer trays.Guo Ye saw everything from hats to official boots.

He hesitated: "Your Majesty, just change here?"
