Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

The same is true for Su Dingfang. Maybe his appearance is rough and reckless, but he is definitely full of pride in his bones.

As someone said, I am a proud person, you can remove the skin and flesh from my body, but the spine on my back will always be bent rather than bent.

After thinking about it, Guo Ye suddenly realized.

He knew that what he said just now had his own intention and starting point, but to Su Dingfang's ears, it was nothing but humiliation.

Once upon a time, Su Dingfang, who was so proud, already needed pity and charity from a small eighth-rank military commander?

Guo Ye's face softened a little, and he looked at Su Dingfang, a burly man at the next table who was drinking sullenly, and muttered in a low voice, "So, I committed a taboo!"

Immediately, Guo Ye threw away Kang Bao who was beside him, walked to Su Dingfang alone, and said softly: "General Su, the offending words just now are the fault of the subordinate, please forgive me."

After saying that, put away the serious posture just now, clasped fists at Su Dingfang and bowed slightly, bowing gracefully.

Hear it, see it,

Su Dingfang shook his hand holding the wine glass, and stayed in the air for a long time without taking it down. Although he didn't look at Guo Ye, although he didn't reply to Guo Ye, his expression gradually softened, and he no longer sneered at each other.

From Guo Ye's point of view, Su Dingfang's anger has dissipated, but he just wanted to save face.

That's fine, a dignified five-rank Huaihua Lang will be able to be so magnanimous to him, and Guo Ye himself feels that there is nothing to be wronged about.

So, he pulled up a bench behind him, approached him, faced him face to face, and said softly, "General Su, I was actually wrong in what I said just now. It should mean that I need General Su to help me now. Get through this crisis."

"Ok?"

Su Dingfang made a slight nasal sound, looked up at Guo Ye in surprise, put the wine glass in his hand on the table, and asked, "What do you need me to do for you? Just speak up!"

atmosphere!

Guo Ye raised a big thumbs up in his heart, and couldn't help giving a thumbs up.

Immediately, he sent himself out of Sichuan under the order of governor Lu Chengqing to escort the tribute and treasures to Chang'an, but he changed his mind privately and went to bypass the Tubo border, intending to go to northern Xinjiang to participate in the Turkic war in order to gain military merits and other things.

Such a thing sounds even more incredible to Su Dingfang's ears.

He never imagined that Guo Ye would dare to disobey his superiors privately and slack off escorting the tribute to Chang'an, instead doing what he wanted to do and what he liked to do.

This courage is so bold that there is no limit to it. The words bold and reckless are not enough to describe the absurdity of this kid.

After Guo Ye finished speaking, Su Dingfang took a long time to digest the information.

Then, he grabbed the wine glass on the table, drank it down in one gulp, and sighed, "You boy, you really don't know how to write it. You are a little eighth-rank soldier. Who gave you such confidence? How dare you be so absurd and uninhibited? I don’t know whether to praise you for being brave, or scold you for not knowing the rules of etiquette. You..."

"At least, what's happening right now proves that the decision of the lower official is not wrong. If the lower official hadn't secretly diverted to the northern border, how could he have wiped out the remnants of the Sui Dynasty today, and brought Ali Tucheng and Tuva City back to the Tang Dynasty? Territory? Do you think so?"

Guo Ye interrupted Su Dingfang's emotion and spoke out what was in his heart.

Su Dingfang nodded in agreement when he heard the words, and said: "If there is a cause, there must be an effect, that's right. If you hadn't been absurd and unruly at the beginning, you would not have discovered the hiding place of the remnants of the Sui Dynasty, and you would not have discovered that the descendants of the Yang family were actually with you." Tubo secretly contacted him. If he is allowed to grow up, there may be another drastic change in the future."

Speaking of this, he cast a relieved look at Guo Ye and said: "But don't worry, now you have won two cities. Although the city is small and pitiful, it can be regarded as defending my land of the Tang Dynasty. This is a meritorious service; In addition, you wiped out the remnants of the Sui Dynasty, which is as important as the former Sui empress and the puppet emperor Yang Tong of the Eastern Turks. They are all ringworms on the feet of Your Majesty for many years. Every time I think about it, I feel very itchy. Now you beat me by mistake It's a great achievement to end the collision by mistake. With these two great achievements, the assassin Lu Chengqing would not dare to do anything to you no matter what."

"On the contrary, after His Majesty is pleased to hear about it, he may be able to give you an official promotion, and it may not be possible to transfer you to Chang'an. Boy, you are considered to be very lucky."

Unexpectedly, after Guo Ye finished listening, he repeatedly waved his hands and refused: "No, no, this is what I am most worried about, so I want General Su to share these two great achievements with me and relieve my worries."

What?

Su Dingfang was a little dizzy when he heard Guo Ye's words. Is this kid not sick?

People in the officialdom all set their goal and direction as being promoted to rank, promoted step by step, transferred to Chang'an, and often accompanied by the emperor, and they worked tirelessly for this.

This kid is good, he is even afraid of being promoted to Chang'an.

Su Dingfang was puzzled, and looked at Guo Ye suspiciously.

Guo Ye immediately cleared his doubts and said: "Gao Sheng entered Chang'an and often accompanied the king. Naturally, it is the goal that my generation strives for, but with my qualifications, what does General Su think I will be useful if I enter Chang'an? Why not give me a clear water?" Yamen, eat and die? This is not the dream of being an official."

"So, the subordinate officer wanted to let General Su lead these two major contributions. Then, in the memorial, he would share some minor contributions to the subordinate officer, and then lead the subordinate officer to command the troops to sit in the area between Ali Tucheng and Tuva City, and replace them I, the Tang Dynasty, guard the frontier."

Guo Ye finally expressed his intention, which was to command troops to occupy the area around Alitu City and Tuva City, including the Tubo border stretching hundreds of miles from south to north to Yumen Pass.

To put it bluntly, it's very simple, you need a frontier number and a territory.

Otherwise, what's the use of having Yang's racecourse and the relics of the former Sui Dynasty?It can't be moved even if it's moved, so why just leave it there and wait for it to die of old age?

Of course, Su Dingfang didn't know about the former Sui relics and Yang's racecourse at all, but he really saw the ambition and unwillingness to dormant that flashed in Guo Ye's eyes.

I thought to myself, what's the use of this kid guarding these two cities that are useless and not at all prosperous?I have to ask the imperial court for the serial number of the frontier army. What exactly is the picture?

After making two major contributions, you only need such a few things?

Su Dingfang is not an ordinary person, and he is not something that Guo Ye can easily fool.

Immediately, he looked at Guo Ye with burning eyes, leaned closer, and asked in a serious tone: "Why do you only focus on such a shabby place? What is your plan in mind, kid?"

After hearing this, Guo Ye was obviously stunned, and in an instant, Su Dingfang caught him straight again, and continued to threaten aggressively:

"If you can't tell how ugly you are, hey, Su doesn't dare to take credit for your achievements!"

In his words, he suddenly regained the arrogance he had just now.

Chapter 251 My Ideal and Pursuit

Damn, this grandson has really poisonous vision!

Guo Ye concealed his astonishment by bowing his head and bending over to pat the dust on the black leather boots.

A reason immediately came up in his mind, and he decided to use this reason to fool Su Dingfang.

Immediately, he raised his head suddenly, a sense of righteousness filled his face, and he said in a clear voice: "It's very simple, because I have higher pursuits, I have higher ideals, I am not someone else, I am Longxi Guoye!"

"Oh? You kid has a big tone..."

Sure enough, Su Dingfang looked at Guo Ye's upright face suddenly, and listened to Guo Ye's words, and immediately aroused his interest.

He wasn't sure whether Guo Ye's words were out of his heart, but he knew that he had already developed a strong interest in this kid's so-called ideal and pursuit.

Immediately asked: "Speak and listen!"

Guo Ye got up proudly, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Chang'an, and said: "If you transfer me back to Chang'an now, it is within my reach because of my two achievements, prosperity, wealth and wealth. However, the days of comfort and luxury It will make me lose my will, and the Qingshui yamen will eat and wait to die, and it will make me lose my fighting spirit. Then, I will never be me again!"

"My ideal is that in the future, if I can go out, I will be a general, and if I enter, I will be a prime minister. My pursuit is to enter the imperial court, to be able to give advice, criticize current politics, and do my best for the people of the country; The court can lead the army, guard the frontiers, resist foreigners, and defend the territory of our Tang Dynasty. If there is a chance, we will lead the army to open up the territory for the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and make extraordinary achievements.”

"Let the great reputation of my Great Tang spread all over the region, and make the barbarians of all nations submit to the feet of my Great Tang emperor."

"This is my ideal and pursuit of Guo Ye, and it is also my great ambition!"
