"So we're going according to plan?"

After three rounds of tea, Guo Zhenying said.

The envoy of the Yan State said: "Our country has made all preparations on the border line, just waiting for the arrival of the cavalry of King Jinzuo. ”

"Good. Guo Zhenying said: "You are responsible for the involvement, Yongyan and his cavalry, hand it over to us, solve the King of Jinzuo, and ensure that there will be no war on the border of Yan for thirty years." ”

The envoy of Yan Kingdom stood up, clasped his fists and bowed deeply to Guo Zhenying, "On behalf of the people of Yan Kingdom, I would like to thank Datang for his righteous action. ”

Guo Zhenying said: "Your border is stable, which is also a good thing for my Datang, so this is a win-win situation." He also asked the envoy to return to Yan immediately. Make final preparations for the ambush battle in three days' time. ”

The envoy of the Yan Kingdom nodded, and Guo Zhenying summoned two soldiers and escorted him out of Dawei City.

After the envoy of the Yan Kingdom left, Lin Gang asked, "Do you believe his words?"

Guo Zhenying picked up the teacup and took a sip: "I don't believe it." ”

"Then you were so serious just now, I thought you were completely convinced. Lin Gang said.

Guo Zhenying said lightly: "I don't act like some, how can I deceive the other party? Do you think everyone is as stupid and sweet as you?"

Lin Gang was very angry, but after thinking about it, he found that Guo Zhenying was right, he was really a little stupid.

"Hey, I just didn't expect that General Guo's heart would be so dirty. Lin Gang sighed.

Guo Zhenying put down the teacup with a rather solemn expression, "Captain Lin, the next battle is of great significance to Datang, this is a temptation, and it is also a signal." If Yan Guo really had a different heart, then Datang's future life would not be easy. ”

Lin Gang nodded: "The master is gone, the first emperor has died, and the new emperor is a radical, and it can be seen from the six gold medal edicts he issued that he wants to make contributions too much." ”

"That's not called making a contribution, that's about dissipating influence. Guo Zhenying said: "At least half of the civil and military officials are skeptical about his succession, so our Emperor His Majesty must do something to divert the attention of the country." War is the best means to divert attention, and King Jin Zuo is a relatively weak opponent, in fact, our majesty is also quite smart, and he has also calculated the attitude of Yan Guo. ”

Lin Gang said: "The eldest prince...... Ahem, His Majesty the Emperor is indeed quite wise, but he is too anxious. ”

"Well, it's a great sin of disrespect to go on any further. Guo Zhenying stood up and gave a military salute to Lin Gang: "If the encounter in three days is really as I expected, please be sure to evacuate according to the plan I made." ”

Lin Gang said: "If you want me to say, let's let the Flying Tiger Army go, we have been guarding Dawei Town for many years, and we are more familiar with the situation here than you." If we really fall for it, we will have a way to deal with the enemy. ”

Guo Zhenying said: "Captain Lin, you still don't understand, I can't withdraw." ”

Lin Gang was stunned.

"My army and I are like a wedge, rotten on the battlefield, if we retreat, what awaits us will be a condemning sin. My soldiers must not accept those stigmatizations!" Guo Zhenying said word by word.

Although Lin Gang is a bit coarse, Guo Zhenying has said everything to this, no matter how stupid he is, he can understand it.

Regarding Guo Zhenying's attitude, Lin Gang couldn't say anything, and all his words finally turned into a long sigh.

"General Guo, take care. ”

Lin Gang gave a military salute to Guo Zhenying, turned around and left in stride.

Guo Zhenying looked at Lin Gang's back and muttered, "You too, take care." ”

......

"They agreed?"

Emperor Yan stood up directly from the dragon chair, "Is this true?"

The envoy knelt on the dragon hall, his forehead pressed against the ground, "Return to the emperor, yes." According to the agreement, the Tang army will enter the established combat area in three days, and at that time we will achieve the first victory in the battle against the Tang army, and we will completely get rid of the hat of the Tang vassal state. We will let the world know that Yan Guo has never been a subsidiary of the Tang Dynasty, and Yan Guo is Yan Guo. ”

As soon as Emperor Yan was old, he inevitably felt a little enthusiastic when he heard the words of the envoy, he walked around in front of the dragon chair, his fists were sometimes clenched and sometimes released, his expression was also soothing for a while, and the whole person was as if he had taken the wrong medicine.

No one dared to speak in the entire Dragon Palace, and the atmosphere was as quiet as a cemetery.

After about a cup of tea, Emperor Yan finally calmed down, recovered the spirit of the king of a country, returned to the dragon chair, and said slowly: "Yes, the clouds that have shrouded the head of Yan for hundreds of years are about to be blown away. Yanguo will usher in a new era, the best era. ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" the hundred officials on the dragon hall knelt down and shouted long live.

Emperor Yan said, "Emperor." ”

The prince of Yanguo walked out of the crowd, and then knelt down again: "Erchen is here." ”

"I will leave the matter of communication with Yongyan to you, and at the same time, I will also hand over one of the most elite troops of the Yan Kingdom to you. No matter how big the price is, Guo Zhenying's army must be left on the border of our country, and not a single soldier can be let go. ”

The prince of Yan promised loudly: "Erchen takes orders!"

Emperor Yan said again: "Love, the time to change the fate of Yan is coming, everyone present will witness history, the Tang Dynasty without a master is not worth fearing, when our sons defeat the group of reckless men of the Tang Dynasty, the blood of my Great Yan Kingdom will surely resound throughout the Great Wilderness!"

"Dayan is invincible, long live my emperor!"

......

Chang'an, the imperial city.

The new emperor Li Tong finished reading the day's recitals, picked up the bird's nest porridge that was already a little cold on the table, and put it down after eating two bites.

On his left-hand side, the folds are piled up.

Li Tong rubbed his eyebrows, stood up and walked to the window, and took a breath of fresh air.

Although it was late at night, the lights in the imperial city were still bright.

Li Tong likes to see the night view of the imperial city, which will give him a feeling that everything is under control.

In the past, when I was a prince, I didn't have this feeling.

"Your Majesty, the national teacher asks to see you. The eunuch's announcement came from outside the door.

Li Tong withdrew his gaze and returned to his position, and then spoke: "Xuan." ”

"Xuanguo Shi came to see you. ”

The heavy wooden door was slowly pushed open, and Zhu Haoyun walked in from the outside with his head down.

"Wechen see Your Majesty. Zhu Haoyun bowed and saluted.

"The national teacher doesn't need to be polite, please get up. Li Tong hurriedly walked over and helped Zhu Haoyun up.

Zhu Haoyun didn't move, and continued to maintain a bowing posture, "Weichen is not doing well, he failed to bring Yan Jie back, and I ask Your Majesty to punish him." ”

Li Tong said: "I have heard from others that Yan Jie's death has nothing to do with the national teacher, he committed suicide, so the national teacher does not have to be responsible for this." ”

"But Yan Jie's death will damage His Majesty's reputation. Zhu Haoyun said.

"I don't care about that. Li Tong said: "So the national teacher should hurry up." ”

Zhu Haoyun stood up straight.

"In fact, the national teacher really doesn't have to feel guilty, he just died a living house, and it has no impact on the overall situation. Gossip can't change the situation, the only thing that can change the situation is military power!" Li Tong said: "The former emperor was still jealous of me, and in his edict, he transferred all the people holding military power away, and left me a cow Ben." ”

Zhu Haoyun glanced at Li Tong and found that his expression was very calm.

This guy doesn't seem to know about revising the edict......

He really thought that Li Hong had passed the throne to him.

No wonder his style was so tough during this time, it turned out that he thought he was right.

Zhu Haoyun understood very well why the teacher and the noble concubine didn't tell Li Tong about the revision of the edict, the fewer people who knew about this kind of thing, the better.

In fact, the best choice is that the noble concubine also "contracted the disease and died".

In this way, there is only one person in the world who knows this secret.

It's a pity that Concubine Gao doesn't have such a high consciousness, she finally became the queen mother, how could she give up her life easily.

Because Zhu Haoyun kept his head down the whole time, Li Tong didn't see his slightly changed face, and continued to say to himself: "Of the four major borders, none of them can make me feel at ease. But if you want to turn influence, it is still Meng Zhulu, who is extremely loyal to the emperor, but disdainful of me. I sent several edicts to him to return to Beijing to report on his work, but he refused because he was unwell. ”

Speaking of this, Li Tong clenched his fists fiercely: "His attitude is the attitude of most of the generals in the army, Meng Zhulu refuses to admit my identity, and other generals naturally will not listen to my orders! This old guy is really a stone in a pit, smelly and hard." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go to the border and persuade Marshal Meng to return to old age. Zhu Haoyun raised his head and said.

Li Tong sighed: "National teacher, you are too confident. Meng Zhulu only listened to the words of the former emperor in his life, and when he offered to return to the old age, the first emperor did not allow it, so he dispelled this idea. Now that the emperor has died, he refuses to return to old age, so no one can persuade him. ”

Zhu Haoyun thought for a while and said, "Then when necessary, can you take some special measures?"

Li Tong looked at Zhu Haoyun: "Do you want me to personally dispose of the heroes of the Tang Dynasty?"

"The minister is willing to bear all the infamy for His Majesty. Zhu Haoyun said.

Li Tong said: "Compared to your master, your integrity is much worse. ”

Zhu Haoyun's face changed suddenly.

Li Tong smiled again: "But I like you like this." ”

Zhu Haoyun bowed his head again.

"Alright, don't be angry, I'm just kidding you. Li Tong patted Zhu Haoyun on the shoulder: "Let's postpone the matter of Meng Zhulu, since you have studied Ziwei Venerable, you must have an extraordinary status in Jialan." I want to make a deal with Garan, can you mediate a thing or two?"

These words made Zhu Haoyun stunned for a moment.

"Your Majesty, is this too risky?"

"You're quite thinking about Datang. Li Tong said with a smile: "You should be happy that I made such a decision." ”

Zhu Haoyun's face changed, and after a while, he knelt directly on the ground and said, "The minister has been in Chang'an for many years, and he has already regarded himself as a Tang man in his heart. The ministers did not dare to conceal it, and they really wanted to let the light of the goddess shine on Chang'an, but the ministers never wanted to see the Tang Dynasty become a vassal of the temple. ”

Li Tong nodded slowly: "I'm very happy to hear you say that." But you also have to understand that I will not joke with the fate of the Tang Dynasty, this is just a simple cooperation, if the temple really thinks that the Tang Dynasty is subservient, I can swear, they will definitely pay for it!"
