Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Guo Ye shook his head and said, "Your backhand is useless to me! I'm afraid this time, you will always be doomed."

Zhang Xin turned pale with shock and said, "Why? How is that possible?"

"Want to know? It's okay to tell you, but... you have to exchange a secret."

"What secret?"

"Who is the big man who takes care of the rebel army?"

Chapter 2078 Lu Tianyou's wishful thinking

Zhang Xin hesitated: "If I tell you, will you let me go?"

"Of course not. It's just an equivalent exchange. If you tell me who the big shot is, I'll tell you why your backhand is completely useless."

Guo Ye paused, then continued: "To be honest, no matter who this big shot is, it doesn't mean much to me, it's just to satisfy my curiosity. If you want to use this secret to discuss some conditions, but you hit Ruyi by mistake. abacus."

Zhang Xin sneered and said, "Then I told you this big secret, all I got in exchange was to satisfy my curiosity?"

"Of course. Otherwise, how can it be considered an equivalent exchange?"

"Hmph, the old man's curiosity is not that strong." Zhang Xin closed his eyes, and said, "You can kill or cut whatever you want, don't expect to get the top secret of the Rebel Army from me."

"That's up to you." Guo Ye said nonchalantly, "Kong Konger!"

"exist!"

"Send Dudu Zhang on his way! Quickly, don't let the old man suffer any grievances before he dies."

"Here!"

Kong Konger stretched out his hand, and said: "Dudu Zhang, please! Please let me do it, then your face will not look very good. Don't worry, I will kill countless people, and I promise to do the job beautifully for you."

To say how loyal Zhang Xin is to the rebel army is pure nonsense.The toughness just now was nothing more than a sky-high asking price. I didn't expect that Guo Xiaobao would not even pay back the money when he landed, and directly refused the deal.

His face changed drastically, and he said, "You...you really want to kill me?"

Guo Ye smiled and said: "How fresh, Dudu Zhang is useless to me now. If I don't kill you, why don't you still have dinner? What a waste of food!"

"It's useful, it's useful..." Zhang Xin quickly knelt down on the ground, with a humble smile all over his face, and said: "This old man is definitely useful, and I hope General Guo will show mercy and spare me this dog's life." .”

"Oh? Then tell me, what is your use?"

"This old man can donate his family's wealth of millions of guan to support General Guo's army."

Guo Ye said in amazement: "Oh? As the governor of Maozhou, you can make millions of dollars? That's really not easy."

"So you agree?"

"Of course not. After I occupy Maozhou, all your property will be mine, so why should you offer it?"

Zhang Xin said with a bitter face: "Okay, this one doesn't count. The old man can also write a letter to the dog to stabilize him temporarily."

Guo Ye shook his head and said, "Didn't I just say that? There is nothing I can do to tell the king of Qin, and this one doesn't count."

"Then...the old man has many relatives and friends in Maozhou. If the old man surrenders to you, it can drive many people to pledge their allegiance to you."

Guo Ye still shook his head and said: "Sounds good. However, you are a local snake in Maozhou. If I keep you, are these people for my use or plotting rebellion? That's not good. For safety's sake , Dudu Zhang, you'd better die."

"You can use the old man's family as a hostage."

"What's the use of that? Did Liu Bang ever care about the life and death of his family's wife?"

"This……"

"What else does the old general want to say? If not, I can only send you on your way!"

"Don't, don't, I have other uses!"

"Then speak up."

"This... this..." Zhang Xin turned his attention and said, "The old man is very familiar with the rebel army and the officialdom of Jiannan Dao, and knows a lot of secrets. If you keep me, many things can be done with half the effort."

Guo Ye moved slightly, and said slowly: "Then it depends on whether the news is enough to buy your life."

"Absolutely enough! Absolutely enough!"

"Tell me..."

Zhang Tao: "Can I just tell you this, old man, I'm done, what do you do if you cross the river and tear down the bridge?"

Guo Ye waved his hand and said, "It's fine if you don't want to say it, come and send Dudu Zhang on his way."

"Don't, I said, can't I say it?"

When a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain why.Rao Zhang Xin had a lot of tricks, but he couldn't do anything when he encountered Guo Ye's tricks that would kill him at every turn.

I had to honestly tell some secrets about the rebel army and Sichuan officialdom.

Guo Ye was noncommittal after listening, and asked casually: "Which important figure in the imperial court did Lu Tianyou rely on?"

"This……"

"Huh? You don't want to say? Someone..."

"I said!" Qiangu was the only one to die, what else could Zhang Xin do?I can only explain the situation in detail.

It turned out that Lu Tianyou was forced to participate in the uprising.Thinking back to the Sanzhou rebellion, although the momentum was huge, there was no real core leader among the rebels, which can be called a mess.

After the Lu family's prestige in Meizhou had always been established, the rebel army set their minds on him and forced him to lead the rebel army and became the generalissimo of the rebel army.

Hearing this, Guo Ye frowned and said, "Can you still force someone to be the generalissimo?"

"Why not?"

Zhang Dao said: "When the imperial court's army arrives, others can be said to be coerced. Lu Tianyou said that he was forced to do nothing. Can the imperial court believe it? Isn't it inevitable that he will die in the end? In order to survive, he has to be this big man well." Marshal, find a way out for the rebel army."

"That makes sense. Then what happened?"

"At first, Lu Tianyou was unwilling to be the marshal, but later, he received someone, and he changed his mind completely."

"Who is this guy?"

"This person is the envoy of the King of Qi. His surname is Yin and his name is Yin Hongzhi. He promised Lu Tianyou that as long as he can kill King Qin Guoye, he can prompt the court to recruit the rebels."

After hearing this, Guo Ye believed it eighty-nine percent.However, he still had some doubts, and said: "No, you are the governor of Maozhou. Even if you were recruited after the incident, could it be possible that you can be promoted to a noble? Isn't your work in vain?"

"It's not that simple. Who is King Qin? He has gone through hundreds of battles and made countless achievements. He captured Jieli Khan alive, burned the Potala Palace, and stopped a child from crying at night in Goguryeo. And what about the rebel army? It's just a mob. "
