179.Chapter 198: Tangled Choices

Why did Kang Yueshan and Guo Ye have such shocked expressions, and they shouted in unison, how could it be so coincidental?

Coincidentally, it was on top of the big thing that Lu Chengqing wanted Guo Ye to do.

Lu Chengqing actually proposed to let Guo Ye, a small eight-rank soldier, replace Yizhou Mansion and lead the crowd to escort a big gift into Chang'an.

This gift is the sand table of the whole picture of the Tang Dynasty that he recruited hundreds of skilled craftsmen from Yizhou and spent nearly a month making.

The reason why he chose to enter Chang'an at this time to present gifts is precisely because of the great victory in the frontier on the fifth day of the first month, and the emperor Li Shimin was overjoyed to hear it, and announced it to the world, and the whole world celebrated.

As soon as he said that the frontier was a great victory, Guo Ye immediately guessed that this frontier referred to the northern frontier where the border of the Tang Dynasty bordered the Turks.

Because of the three to four years of Zhenguan in the early Tang Dynasty, there was only a war between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, according to the historical records known to Guo Ye, in August of the third year of Zhenguan, Tang Taizong accepted the suggestion of Zhang Gongjin, the governor of Daizhou, and decided to attack the Eastern Turks, and ordered Li Jing, the secretary of the military department, to be the head of the march of Dingxiang Road, with Zhang Gongjin as the deputy, and launched a powerful military offensive.

At the same time, he also appointed Li Jihua, the governor of Bingzhou, and Xue Wanche, the governor of Chai Shaoling, as the governor of each province, commanding more than 100,000 troops and attacking the Turks separately.

At the beginning of the first month of the fourth year of Zhenguan, that is, when Guo Ye was busy preparing for the Heroes Conference, Li Ji defeated the Turks in Baidao, and Li Jing defeated the Turkic Jieli Khan in Yinshan.

If he remembered correctly, half a month later, that is, in the first month of the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing led 3,000 horsemen from Mayi to enter the Evil Yang Ridge, attacked Dingxiang at night, and defeated the Turks. Jieli Khan was shocked and moved his tent to the moraine.

And Li Jing even resorted to a divisive strategy, so that Jieli's confidant Kang Sumi presented the Xiao family and his grandson Yang Zhengdao to the Tang Dynasty.

Under the attack and destruction of several armies of the Tang Dynasty, the Turkic Jieli Khan survived until March, and finally the general trend was gone, unable to return to the sky, and was also captured and sent to Chang'an.

Since then, the Eastern Turks have died out, and there has been no war in the northern part of the Tang Dynasty since then.

The destruction of the Eastern Turks not only established the name of Li Jing's god of war, but also cleared the external difficulties for the formation of the prosperous era of Zhenguan, and also planted the cause and effect for the prestige of Taizong Li Shimin's "Heavenly Khan".

Since Guo Ye remembered this incident in the Kangyue Mountain Mansion, he also dreamed of reaping some benefits in this great war against the Turks.

Because he knows that Datang will win this battle, even if he leads thousands of people to run to Northern Xinjiang now, how can he come back with some benefits.

This is also a part of his previous secret discussion with Kang Yueshan, he had an agreement with Kang Yueshan, as long as the matter of the Heroes Conference is over, and then enter the Zhichong Governor's Mansion to be a captain, and together with Kang Bao, he will go to the north with 600 regiments of training and 600 soldiers.

Even if you can't catch up with the great war to destroy the Turks, you can still catch up with March and take the opportunity to capture Jieli Khan to make great achievements.

Since he knew the whole course of the war, the escape route of Jieli Khan was naturally also clear.

He thought that as long as he guarded the checkpoint of the opponent's escape route and caught the rabbit once, he would definitely succeed.

Capturing the king of a country alive is more meritorious than winning a few battles.

And it was precisely because he used the prophetic foresight of later generations to analyze the frontier war very thoroughly, which shocked Kang Yueshan and convinced him in every way. Based on this, Kang Yueshan will reach an agreement with him and will help him so hard.

Everything stems from a cooperative transaction, mutually beneficial.

As long as Guo Ye can play a role in northern Xinjiang, then Kang Bao will definitely be able to share a big credit.

If Lu Chengqing hadn't come today, perhaps, as long as the situation in Minjiang had been stabilized in a few days, Guo Ye would have fulfilled his promise and taken Kang Bao and nearly a thousand soldiers to the northern Xinjiang region secretly.

It's a pity that Lu Chengqing came uninvited today, and he also brought such an abrupt task: escorting congratulatory gifts into Chang'an to celebrate the great victory at the beginning of the first month of the first month of northern Xinjiang.

This is also the real reason why Guo Ye and Kang Yueshan were shocked and why they were so coincidental.

Lu Chengqing was confused by the two, how could he know that the two would have such a big reaction.

So he asked, "What's going on?" ”

Kang Yueshan and Guo Ye, you look at me, I look at you, no one spoke.

In the end, Guo Ye said: "Shuzhong went to Chang'an, the mountains and rivers are far away, and Guo Ye's parents are still there, so he doesn't dare to travel far." I hope Lord Assassin Shi will let me think about it again, how about it? ”

After thinking about it, I can only use this as a reason to prevaricate the past first.

He had to discuss it with Kang Yueshan again.

After all, there is no time to delay in the northern Xinjiang, if he really agrees to Lu Chengqing's proposal, then he may have to miss a great merit, and he will lose Kang Yueshan, a reliable ally.

Kang Yueshan listened to Guo Ye say this, and naturally knew the intention of this kid, and said softly: "Yes, this kid is only so old, let alone Chang'an, he has never even been out of Jiannan Road, can you rest assured that you will entrust him with such an important matter?" ”

It means that Lu Chengqing will be another candidate, Guo Ye's kid is too young to be reliable.

Who knew that Lu Chengqing smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed: "Alas, this official has always been an official in Chang'an, and there is not even a capable subordinate on the Yizhou side. ”

The implication is that he Lu Chengqing has no generals under him, which is also a helpless move.

However, seeing that Guo Ye was silent, Lu Chengqing thought that Guo Ye had not gone far away, and he had some concerns, and the sentence that his parents were not traveling far away was indeed the best reason, filial piety is supreme, and no one can force it.

Immediately, he didn't want to press too hard, so he had to say in a consultative tone: "In this way, Guo Ye, you think about it first, and this official will go to the restaurant to have a banquet to entertain all the people from other states, and I hope you can give this official an answer in the next few days." ”

This is also aggrieved enough, the dignified Yizhou Assassin Shi, the former Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War, actually spoke to his subordinates in a consultative tone, and he was also a small eight-grade soldier.

This is also Lu Chengqing's helplessness, there is no one under him, and the imperial court has regulations that all the governors of the states and the commanders of the folds and chong are not allowed to leave the state and enter Chang'an without the edict.

What we prevent is that some officials with ulterior motives in various states led their troops into Chang'an to make trouble.

Lu Chengqing has spoken in such a low profile, what else can Guo Ye do? I had to nod my head and promise to consider it carefully and give the other party an answer.

Immediately, Lu Chengqing said goodbye to Kang Yueshan, and then left.

As soon as Lu Chengqing left, Guo Ye immediately jumped to his feet, like ants on a hot pot spinning back and forth in the living room, and hurriedly shouted: "Why is it so back?" Why did Lu Jianshi think about letting me enter Chang'an to give a gift at this juncture? ”

Kang Yueshan was still a little calm, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What else can it be?" It's nothing more than that he is anxious, thinking that with the peculiar gift of offering a sand table and the eradication of the Minjiang bandits, he can redeem His Majesty's favor in the past and be promoted back to Chang'an as soon as possible. ”

Rub, Guo Ye complained in his heart, this is too fucking anxious.

After thinking for a while, Kang Yueshan said: "Guo family boy, if you don't go to northern Xinjiang, forget it, for northern Xinjiang, you can only rely on speculation to conclude that our army will win." On the battlefield, it is changing rapidly, and maybe an opportunity will turn the tables around. Even if you and Kang Bao lead people to northern Xinjiang, they may not be able to do great things. Instead of this, why not agree to Lu Chengqing to escort the congratulatory gift into Chang'an? At least, after this matter is done, you have a position in Yizhou and don't have to run. ”

"How could I possibly speculate wrong? Unless,"

Speaking of this, Guo Ye almost slipped his mouth, saying "unless the history textbook is completely made up", but when this is said, it is estimated that there will be a big mess.

Could it be that he told Kang Yueshan that his buddies came from later generations and were familiar with the historical changes in the next thousand years?

This is also too nonsense, and the other party either thinks it's a fantasy or thinks he's crazy.

Immediately, he could only lie: "It's not wrong at all, I guessed that at the beginning of the first month, my Tang army will definitely have a big victory, how about it?" Isn't it all cashed in? Now Chang'an City has received a good news from the northern Xinjiang, otherwise why would Lu Jianshi be in such a hurry to present a congratulatory gift to Chang'an? \"

Kang Yueshan was stunned at first, and then nodded and said: "Yes, from the news brought by Lu Chengqing, the old boy, your speculation is not wrong, the trip to Northern Xinjiang may be a great opportunity for you and my family." ”

Guo Ye nodded like pounding garlic, and said heavily: "It's not!" ”

Kang Yueshan asked rhetorically: "Then you want to reject Lu Chengqing's proposal?" ”

Guo Ye thought for a while, then sighed: "Then what else? Which is more important, Lord Kang, you should know better than I do. ”

"Yes," Kang Yueshan habitually stroked his beard and sighed, "If you can really make some contributions in Northern Xinjiang and take advantage of the importance of the battle against the Turks, hehe, what is it to Yizhou?" However, aren't you afraid of offending Lu Chengqing because of this? ”

"Huh?"

Guo Ye looked puzzled and asked, "Master Kang, do you mean that Lu Tingshi will be jealous of me because of this, and from now on he will be a great enemy?" ”

Kang Yueshan said: "Lu Chengqing also said just now, he has no one in his hands to do this big thing for him, if you refuse again, then the matter of going to Chang'an with a congratulatory gift will be blown up." In this way, his promotion back to Chang'an may really drag on, think about it, you kid indirectly hindered the promotion of others, can he Lu Chengqing not blame you? ”

No way!

Guo Ye looked at Kang Yueshan with a gloomy face, and said in a daze: "Can this also be connected?" Does that make sense? ”

Kang Yueshan said helplessly: "Others may not, but the old man and Lu Chengqing have known each other since their early years, how can I not understand his character." He takes this matter very seriously, otherwise he wouldn't have come to Longxi County with the respect of Yizhou Assassin History, do you really think he is celebrating your extermination of the water bandits? You're thinking too simply. ”

Will Lu Chengqing be this kind of person? That's weird, isn't it? Could it be that he can't pull out, and blame the earth for being unattractive, and the feng shui position of the mao pit is not conducive to his eight characters?

Then Guo Ye said angrily: "If Lu Tingshi is really this kind of person, hmph, then what does it matter if Guo Ye offends him?" I'm not the silver in everyone's pocket, you can't expect everyone to like me, can you? ”

"Haha, you kid has sharp teeth!"

After Kang Yueshan laughed, he suddenly looked at Guo Ye with a solemn face and said, "Do you know the true origin of Lu Chengqing?" Do you know why he was suddenly demoted from the position of the left attendant of the military department to a small place like Yizhou in Shuzhong? ”

After asking two questions repeatedly, Kang Yueshan looked at Guo Ye's young and somewhat excessive face, and said with concern: "If you knew something, you wouldn't have made such a hasty decision." ", the house of reading! Unique URL:
