The name Zheng Xiliang, Guo Ye has long heard from Jin Yuxin's mouth. It's just that I didn't expect that the relationship between them is not just as simple as a master and apprentice.

For this person, if possible, Guo Ye is really unwilling to be an enemy of him.

First, he is Jin Yuxin's teacher. Regardless of what Zheng Xiliang thinks of this apprentice, Jin Yuxin talks about him, but he is full of admiration. When the time comes, if you hurt this old guy and see that Silla Immortal again, how can you explain?

Second, Zheng Xiliang is really difficult to deal with.

In Jin Yuxin's mouth, Zheng Xiliang's kung fu is boundless, and it is similar to that of a land immortal.

Even if his remarks are a bit exaggerated, if you look at it in half, such a martial art is really terrifying. Even if you can't catch up with Qingyunzi, it's not much worse.

If it weren't for Guo Ye's invulnerability, I was really afraid that this old man would follow the example of the ancient Banchao on a whim, and one night, he would burst out and slaughter himself.

For this guy who has the ability to lift the table at any time, it is better not to provoke, or not to provoke.

That's why he lowered his voice and persuaded him with good words.

However, Zheng Xiliang really didn't eat his set, he said: "Qin Guogong's words are wrong. Let me ask you, are you loyal to the crown prince Jiancheng or to Li Shimin? ”

"Of course, it's loyal to today's Tang Emperor."

"Then if there is a day when Li Shimin controls Bintian, are you a descendant loyal to Li Shimin, or a descendant of completion?"

"Of course, he is the descendant of today's Tang Dynasty."

"That's it, the old man is loyal to the Yuannan Founding Lord, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Guo Ye scratched his head and said, "The old man said this, why can't I understand it?" Whether it is the descendants of His Majesty or the descendants of the built, they are all members of the Li Tang royal family. But Yuan Nanjian and the King of the Plains are not the same surname! ”

"That's what you don't know. In fact, Yuangai Suwen is also the son of the Infant Yang King. It was only later that the King of Yingyang insisted on passing the throne to Gao Jianwu. For the sake of the throne, he had to kill his father. In other words, Yuan Nanjian is a descendant of the Gao family. ”

Regarding the twists and turns of Yuan Gai Suwen's life experience, Guo Ye really doesn't know, in fact, the truth of this matter is now unknown to no one except Yuan Taizuo.

Yuan Nanjian ascended to the throne, the foundation was unstable, and the people's hearts were not attached. In order to protect the Yuan family, Yuan Taizuo had no choice but to throw out this half-truth and half-truth.

Anyway, Yuan Gai Suwen is dead, and it doesn't matter if his reputation is good or not. As long as it can be proved that Yuan Nanjian is a descendant of the Gao clan and is qualified to be the lord of Goguryeo.

Guo Ye asked, "Is this true?" ”

"Although there is no conclusive evidence, according to various clues, this is exactly the case. Otherwise, it would not be possible to explain why the king of Yingyang would hand over the military power of the entire city of Pyongyang to him. ”

"Doesn't there need tangible evidence for such a big event? Just a clue? ”

Zheng Xiliang shook his head and said, "The secret matter of the palace curtain, how can there be any tangible evidence?" Whether you believe it or not, the old man believes it anyway! ”

"Even if what you say is true...... Guo Ye sighed slightly and said, "That Yuan Gai Suwen killed his father and killed the king, why did you support his descendants?" ”

"What does Yuangai Suwen's conduct have to do with the old man? The one who is kind to me is the king of the plains, and as long as his blood sits on the throne of Goguryeo, the old man will be satisfied. As for the disputes within the royal family, the old man does not mix, and he does not want to mix. ”

Zheng Xiliang's logic is really self-consistent, Guo Ye said helplessly: "Okay, everyone has their own ambitions, don't force it, don't talk about this." But I don't know what you are doing on your envoy to Khitan this time? ”

"Why did Qin Guogong ask knowingly? What you came for, I came for. Now that our two countries are fighting in Liaodong and sending an envoy to Khitan, can it be for other things? ”

Having said that, there is no room for the two sides to turn around.

Guo Ye smiled coldly and said, "Okay, Mr. Zheng is really refreshing!" Then let's go our separate ways. ”

As the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

Guo Ye was blind to the internal situation of the Khitan, and the nobles of various ministries avoided talking about it, even if he had a thousand clever plans, he couldn't show them.

When Zheng Xiliang reached a secret agreement with the Khitan with the cooperation of the Great Wizard, he really had no place to cry.

Now, I can only cut through the mess quickly.

So, he said to everyone: "In the fifth year of Wude, there was a pilgrimage to Chang'an by the head of the alliance of your country, and he offered famous horses and mink, and since then the Khitan has become one of the countries of Tibet recognized by my Tang Dynasty. ”

"In the third year of Zhenguan, there was also the head of the Mohui Alliance, Chao Tang, who was given a drum and swore allegiance to the Tang Dynasty. Now, my Tang Dynasty is conquering Goguryeo, and the Khitan should send troops to help in the war. I wonder what you think? ”

Zheng Xiliang said: "Ladies and gentlemen, my Goguryeo, like your Khitan, is also a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. The difference is that we are more respectful to Datang than you. Pay tribute every year, and call the ministers every year. But the result? ”

"The Tang Dynasty coveted my land of Goguryeo, brazenly sent troops, invaded my territory, and plundered my people. If one day my Goguryeo Kingdom is destroyed, I am afraid that the next person to suffer will be your Khitan! How to deal with it, you need to think carefully. ”

Guo Ye sneered: "You Goguryeo are respectful to me in the Tang Dynasty? What do you say about sending Jiang Yumei to assassinate my Tang Emperor? ”

"You Tang Dynasty intends to raise troops in the front, and I, Goguryeo, sent assassins behind, what is the order, don't make a mistake about Qin Guogong! I think that when Prince Yan sent Jing Ke to assassinate the King of Qin, wasn't it because Great Qin tyrannized Yan and couldn't bear it? ”

Guo Yedao: "My Tang Dynasty proposed to conquer Goguryeo in November last year. And your Goguryeo Assassins came in December of last year. The Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo are thousands of miles apart, and the assassin is coming in January, can he fly? It's clear that you have long been disobedient to my Datang! ”

"Qin Guogong's words are wrong. There is a way to harm people, and the heart to prevent people is indispensable! I, Goguryeo, have a heart of precaution against you Datang, and I have already made arrangements, so what's so strange? ”

"Then you are admitting that you Goguryeo servants are disloyal?"

"The saint cloud, the king regards the minister as a sibling, and the minister regards the king as the heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as an enemy. If this is considered disloyalty to the king, then we in Goguryeo are willing to accept this sin! ”

Zheng Xiliang not only has profound swordsmanship, but also has no hindrance in his arguments, and when he said it, he really refuted Guo Ye speechlessly.

In the final analysis, this expedition to Goguryeo, the Tang Dynasty is really unreasonable.

The real reason for His Majesty Li Er's expedition to the east is that Goguryeo has the ability to overthrow the Tang Dynasty, and if he doesn't take it at this time, he may be in great trouble for future generations! This can be said within the court, but it cannot be made public!

The real reason that can be said can only be that Yuan Nan has no way to build a way, and the Tang Dynasty hangs the people for crimes. But now, Yuan Nanjian said that he was a descendant of the Gao family, and it seemed that this reason was untenable.

As a result, Guo Ye could only grasp Jiang Yumei's assassination to make a fuss. Unexpectedly, the old man Zheng answered fluently, without the slightest flaw.

It doesn't make sense to be reasonable, and you have to persuade the Khitan to turn to the Tang Dynasty, how can this be done?

Guo Ye rolled his eyes, changed the topic, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, just now the envoy of Goguryeo said that after my Tang Dynasty destroys Goguryeo, I will destroy the Khitan, but in fact, there is no need to worry about this. ”

"Khitan and Goguryeo are very different. Just now, Mr. Zheng said that I, the Tang Dynasty, was waging war for the land of Goguryeo. Even if this were the case, then we would only want the land of Goguryeo, not the land of the Khitan. ”

"The land of Goguryeo can be cultivated to feed millions of people. But what are we using the land of the Khitan? The land here is barren and can only be used to raise horses. And I'm not good at that. Even if you give these lands, it's useless for Datang to take them! ”

"If you don't believe me, think about the Eastern Turks. I think that the Eastern Turks repeatedly harassed my Datang, and finally was destroyed by my Datang. But what about their land? In the end, it was returned to the Eastern Turkic people. ”

"Why? Except for the benevolence of my Datang Emperor, that piece of land is really of no use to Datang. Since we can't look down on the land of the Eastern Turks, how can we look down on the land of the Khitan? You don't think that your steppe is more fertile than the steppe of the Eastern Turks, do you? ”

Actions speak louder than words!

With the example of the Eastern Turks, the persuasiveness of this statement is very strong. The Khitan nobles present immediately nodded their heads and agreed with Guo Ye's speech.

Guo Ye struck while the iron was hot, and continued: "Now that I, the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo, have started a war, it doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong before. Now you have to think about which side to help. ”

"The Tang Dynasty is strong and Goguryeo is weak. If the Khitan helps Goguryeo attack the Tang Dynasty, the outcome is still unknown! Once it fails, I am afraid that it will follow in the footsteps of the Eastern Turks! ”

"On the contrary, if you help Tang attack Goguryeo, victory is just around the corner! Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if my Datang loses, Goguryeo will definitely be greatly damaged. Is it still possible to take revenge on you? Isn't it obvious which side is better to help? ”
