In fact, even Yang Guang is not very clear, he forced Gao Liansheng to persuade the Goguryeo king Gao Tang Jinjing to meet his father Yang Jian, what kind of result did he want: Gao Lian Shengguo can persuade Gao Tang Jinjing to see him, although it can help stabilize Liaodong, and even wait for the opportunity to include Goguryeo in the territory of the Great Sui Dynasty and realize the grand wish of restoring the territory of the Han Dynasty; And if he can't do it, will he have to suggest to his father and the emperor to immediately send troops to attack Goguryeo? Obviously this is not going to work.

However, Yang Guang only has a clear understanding of one thing, that is, what he wants to test with the help of this matter is not Gao Tang, but Gao Liansheng himself.

Previously, from Gao Liansheng's many unusual actions, Yang Guang keenly noticed that this wealthy Goryeo businessman with a bodhisattva face and smiling all day long was by no means a simple character, and he was never sure what kind of position he occupied in Goguryeo and what kind of role he was. This brought a hidden worry to the restoration of the Han dynasty in the future: it was impossible to let a Goguryeo fine work live in Chang'an City, a magnificent place.

In particular, when he said that he wanted Gao Liansheng to return to China to persuade Gao Tang to meet his father, Gao Liansheng repeated his old tricks and tried his best to clear up the relationship between him and Gao Tang, which made Yang Guang even more suspicious of the real role he played: the previous loan of the falcon to himself to deliver a message to Chang'an was tantamount to admitting that he was Goguryeo's eyeliner and fine work in Chang'an City, but when he made further requests to him, he pretended to pour bitter water on himself and shirked it in every possible way.

Yang Guang really didn't understand what kind of medicine Gao Liansheng was selling in the gourd.

Until the next day, before Yang Guang set off from Bingzhou, together with the princess Xiao E, took Xiao Yang Jian'er to Daxingguo Temple to say goodbye to An Ruoxi, along the way, he was still puzzled by Gao Liansheng's behavior that was very different from ordinary people yesterday.

I don't know if An Ruoxi knew the news that Yang Guang and his son Yang Jian were about to return to Chang'an under Jiuquan, and intended to appear to him, or Yang Guang took a whim and led his wife and children to An Ruoxi's tomb early in the morning to worship, walking on the way out of the city, Yang Guang had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly discovered another extraordinary thing: since Gao De's book, he was sent back to Bingzhou by his father in advance, this Gao Liansheng followed him like a shadow, just last night when they met, He has to return to Chang'an with him. Thinking of the fact that he had heard Princess Xiao Erti say that in the past two years, Gao Liansheng often went out to drink and have fun, Yang Guang was a little more vigilant to Gao Liansheng: he tried every possible way to get close to him, what was his plan?

Although he was still thinking about Gao Liansheng, as soon as Yang Liang, the king of the Han Dynasty, led a group of subordinates in Xingtai to follow Yang Guang's approach of welcoming him a few days ago, and sent Yang Guang and his party all the way to Fenheyi, which was a hundred miles away from Bingzhou City. Seeing that the princess Xiao E was pulling her younger brother Xiao Yu on the bank of the Fenshui River, and kept telling her questions, Yang Guang specially walked in front of Li Jing and took the initiative to apologize to him: "I left Beijing in a hurry last year, and I have to inform Dali Temple in the future, but I told Ling Zun to suffer in prison for a few days, and I will come to apologize to Ling Zun in person after returning to Beijing this time, and I hope that you will not worry about it, brother." It will be a chance to get a chance, and this king still hopes to be able to do something great with you, brother. ”

Li Jing was about to bow down and clench his fists to answer, but he didn't want to be run over by Yang Liang, the king of Han, snatched the conversation, and joked with Yang Guang: "Why, the second brother is still not dead to Li Jing, and before leaving, he was still thinking about digging people under the command of his younger brother." ”

Yang Guang smiled and didn't answer, waved his hand at Li Jing, signaled him to avoid it for the time being, and said to Yang Liang alone: "After all, you are young, and if you encounter trouble in the future, you must ask the two servants for advice, so you must think twice before acting." The Turkic side has explained to you a few days ago that there will be no major changes in two or three years, and yesterday I have asked Gao Liansheng, the uncle of Goguryeo, to return to his homeland to persuade Gao Tang Jinjing to see his father. ”

Yang Liang clasped his hands into fists and replied, "Xiao Wang remembers the teachings of the second brother. ”

Yang Guang has always had a good impression of this youngest brother, and when he saw that he was deliberately putting on a posture in front of him as a subordinate receiving orders from his boss, he couldn't help but step forward and reach out and scratch his nose, and deliberately tease him: "I can remember your words, if you poke the basket in Bingzhou in the future, don't blame me for not reminding you in advance." ”

After joking with Yang Liang, Yang Guang temporarily put his suspicions about Gao Liansheng behind, and said goodbye to Li Che, Li Xiong, and Du Yan who came to see them off one by one. Li Che and others also told Yang Guang that they would continue to guard the border for the imperial court to live up to the trust of the King of Jin.

Seeing the sun shadow slanting westward, after being reminded by Duan Da and others, Yang Guang officially said goodbye to the people who came to see him off, turned over his horse, turned around and stared affectionately in the direction of Bingzhou City, spurred his horse, and went south.

On the second day when Yang Guang set off from Bingzhou and returned to Chang'an to rush to his new post, Yu Xiaoren accompanied Gao Liansheng, who was sad and full of worries, also left Bingzhou, and returned to Goguryeo all the way to the east to persuade Gao Tang to go to Chang'an in person and go to see the emperor of the Great Sui.

Half a month later, when they were about to enter the border of Goguryeo, Yu Xiaoren was blocked from the country by the Goguryeo soldiers guarding the border pass.

"You are a general of the Sui Dynasty, and you are not allowed to enter our country without the permission of the king." One of the leading Goguryeo generals, Zuo, said to Yu Xiaoren in half-baked Chinese.

"Where am I a general of the Sui Dynasty, it's clear that I'm a guy in your Uncle Wang's shop." Yu Xiaoren looked at Gao Liansheng with blank eyes, hoping that he could speak for himself.

Unexpectedly, Gao Liansheng sneered, only changed to Goguryeo and gave a few instructions to Na Jiangzuo, without looking at Yu Xiaoren again, and left with a few men accompanying him without looking back, leaving Yu Xiaoren outside the border of Goguryeo.

"Gao Liansheng, the prince is really right to look at you, you are clearly Goguryeo's fine work, you come back to me quickly!" Yu Xiaoren was in a hurry, and shouted at Gao Liansheng's back.

And his shouting in exchange, except for a few rebukes from the Goguryeo soldiers, did not have the slightest effect on Gao Liansheng.
