The Chinese army, in a splendid tent, is burning with red charcoal. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang Guozhong was dressed in military uniform, leaning in the Taishi chair, squinting his eyes, looking at the flickering charcoal fire under his feet, stunned.

The tent he was in was only a few steps away from the Emperor's tent.

Thinking about it, Yang Guozhong was also extremely helpless.

His glory and wealth all come from the emperor. Even now, he has firmly controlled the emperor in the palm of his hand, he is still just a parasite on the emperor!

The life and death of the emperor are shared with Yang Guozhong! He didn't dare to go too far from the emperor at all!

After being the prime minister for several years, Yang Guozhong knows better than anyone that he has offended everyone in the world!

If it weren't for the emperor, he would have been broken into thousands of pieces!

The only reason why Yang Guozhong can survive is only this emperor!

The emperor must be controlled, and every effort must be done to protect the emperor's life!

Once the emperor is dead, Yang Guozhong will definitely not live!

He knows the situation better than anyone else!

However, the cruel reality is that the emperor, whom he tried his best to preserve, can easily put him to death once he loses control!

He's trying to protect a tiger that can chew him! Although this tiger is now in an iron cage!

This is the saddest thing in the world!

Therefore, protecting the emperor and controlling the emperor is an extremely laborious task.

From Chang'an to Xianyang and then to Maweipo outside the golden city, the most annoying thing is that Yang Guozhong's nerves are highly tense and he is not idle for a moment. It made him almost exhausted!

He began to regret that he shouldn't have been too aggressive, too fierce, so that he had too many resentments. In order to gain power, he killed all the way, unscrupulous means, several years of prime ministership, and countless officials and people died in his hands!

Behind an official, there is a group of people! Destroying an adversary is planting countless seeds of revenge!

He only now understands that power can protect himself, but it can hurt himself!

He has seized the supreme power of the empire, and even the emperor has been toyed with between his metacarpal bones! However, he only now discovered that boundless power turned out to be a hot potato, and once it was held in the palm of his hand, it could set himself on fire!

However, he has already ridden the tiger.

Now, he has no choice but to move forward bravely, if he takes half a step back, he can't get it if he wants to be a farmer!

The charcoal fire in front of him was dazzlingly red.

Yang Guozhong's vision was a little blurred, and in a trance, he seemed to see a burning city through the pot of charcoal, and an old face appeared in the flames.

Yang Guozhong shuddered and hurriedly closed his eyes.

However, the old face still stayed in front of his eyes, lingering. Rising in the fire, give him a mocking smile.

"Yan Gaoqing!" Yang Guozhong let out a strange scream!

The emperor has decided to rehabilitate Yan Gaoqing, which is the fundamental reason why Yang Guozhong decided to take a risk!

It was he who single-handedly caused Yan Gaoqing's unjust case, and Yan Gaoqing's rehabilitation means that he will go to hell!

"Prime Minister!" A voice rang out in front of you.

Yang Guozhong's hands and feet were cold, a shiver, and he almost fell from the Taishi's chair.

"Humble Li Defu meets the Prime Minister!" Li Defu was dressed in military uniform and stood in the center of the big tent.

Yang Guozhong hurriedly sat upright: "How are things going?" ”

Li Defu bowed his head and said: "Three thousand Tibetan elite soldiers and horses have arrived!" It is now stationed in Mangshan. ”

Yang Guozhong took the case: "The Tubo people have arrived, and the big thing has been done!" ”

Yang Guozhong held the emperor hostage with the Praetorian Guard Sixth Army, but in fact, he had no bottom in his heart, after all, the Praetorian Sixth Army was the emperor's private army, and the vast majority of the generals were still loyal to the emperor, and the reason why they were willing to follow Yang Guozhong was just that they didn't know the truth. What's more, Chen Xuanli is also in the army, which is a big trouble for Yang Guozhong, but Yang Guozhong does not dare to take Chen Xuanli casually, once Chen Xuanli has a mistake, the soldiers of the six guards will immediately notice that the situation is different, once there is a mutiny, Yang Guozhong only has two hundred Jiannan soldiers in his hands, and he is unable to control the situation at all.

This is the embarrassment of Yang Guozhong, using the Praetorian Guards Six Army to control the emperor, he is actually walking the blade!

The Sixth Army is unreliable, from Chang'an to Maweipo, thousands of miles away, if you want to be insured all the way, you have to find another way.

So, Yang Guozhong thought of the Tubo people.

Yang Guozhong is also the envoy of the Jiannan Festival, and the responsibilities of the Jiannan Army have two aspects, one is to subdue the Southern Zhao, and the other is to fight against Tubo!

Tibet is a fierce enemy of the state. However, not Yang Guozhong's enemies!

Especially in these troubled times, enemies and friends can be converted.

Before kidnapping the emperor, Yang Guozhong had secretly ordered Xian Yu Zhongtong, the deputy envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, to get in touch with the Tubo people.

Xian Yu Zhongtong adhered to Yang Guozhong's order, sent countless gold, silver and silk to Tubo, and at the same time promised Tubo that Nanzhao was a subject state of Tubo. In exchange for Tubo sending troops, Yang Guozhong coerced the Tang Emperor to Sichuan.

Nanzhao was sandwiched between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty. In fact, in Yunnan, the competition between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo is actually the competition for Nanzhao. For more than 100 years, the Tang Dynasty has gained the upper hand, and Nanzhao has always been a subject state of the Tang Dynasty, loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and a pawn of the Tang Dynasty against Tubo. However, after Yang Guozhong came to power, in order to establish border merit, he brazenly used troops against Nanzhao, forcing Nanzhao to have to start a war with the Tang Dynasty and defeat the Tang army in a row. Even so, Nanzhao King Ge Luofeng still declared that although Nanzhao broke away from the Tang Dynasty and became an independent country, he would never help Tubo to become an enemy of the Tang Dynasty! On the contrary, Nanzhao did not submit to Tibet. Therefore, although Nanzhao cut off tribute to the Tang Dynasty, it did not fall to Tubo.

Now, Yang Guozhong promised to completely abandon Nanzhao, which is an extremely despicable betrayal of Nanzhao! For Tibet, it has great temptation.

In fact, Yang Guozhong did this, and there was an unspoken idea.

Once the Tang Emperor was abducted to Sichuan, if Yang Guozhong wanted to gain a foothold in Sichuan, he had to rely on the support of Tubo! Otherwise, Yang Guozhong, who is in a corner of peace, still can't protect himself.

This point is not practical to say, and the Tibetan people can understand it at a glance.

Therefore, helping Yang Guozhong kidnap the Tang Emperor to Sichuan is more tempting for the Tubo people than obtaining the Southern Zhao. Because, this means that Tubo can support a small court subordinate to Tubo in Sichuan! They can even remotely control the Central Plains through this imperial court.

This will be the prospect that the Tibetans have dreamed of!

With such favorable conditions and such wonderful prospects, the Tibetans have no reason to refuse.

"Immediately let the Tubo people enter the army and Ma Weipo and surround the six armies of the Praetorian Guard!" Yang Guozhong gritted his teeth and said.

The army of the Tubo people was extremely strong and could compete with the Anxi and Longyou armies. And the Praetorian Guards are all embroidered pillows. Once the Tubo people surrounded the Sixth Army of the Praetorian Guard, Chen Xuanli was helpless even if he knew the truth!

In fact, as long as there are 1,000 Tibetan troops, you can sweep away these 6,000 forbidden troops. What's more, there are 3,000 Tibetans!

Yang Guozhong even made the most cruel preparations, once the forbidden army moved, he immediately asked the Tubo people to disarm the 6,000 forbidden army and kill them all! Then, let the Tibetans escort him to Sichuan.

For Yang Guozhong, the Tubo army was safer than the Tang army!

Li Defu said: "Prime Minister, the people who came with the Tubo army are also the Tubo national teacher Guma!" The dove is now outside the tent, waiting for the Prime Minister to summon him! ”

"What does a monk do?" Yang Guozhong asked.

"Kuma said that he would have a face-to-face interview with the Prime Minister."

Yang Guozhong pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Let him in." ”

Li Defu withdrew from the account, and after a while, he entered the big tent with Kuma.

Yang Guozhong got up and bowed to Guma: "Master Gumo came from afar, Yang Guozhong is not welcome, the etiquette is not careful, please forgive me, master, please sit, please use tea!" ”

"The Prime Minister is polite, Hatama is disturbing late at night, how disrespectful!" Gu Mo arched his hand to Yang Guozhong and sat down opposite.

Yang Guozhong returned to his seat and said: "Master, my Tang Dynasty is unfortunate, I have encountered civil strife, Tubo ignores the past suspicions, Xingyi Shi helps people in danger, it is really a state of etiquette and righteousness, Master Kumo does not avoid hard work, and comes in person, which makes Yang even more frightened." ”

Kuma smiled faintly: "Prime Minister, Kuma is a monk, and the monk does not speak out, and he does not fall into vain!" The adult said that I don't care about the past suspicions, and the words of Xingyi Master helping others are difficult, if the prime minister says that he is talking to the Tibetan envoys, it is also on the scene, but Gumo does not dare to hear it! What's more, my Tubo army this time is not for the Tang Dynasty, but for the Prime Minister! ”

Yang Guozhong was greatly embarrassed, and Gu Mo's words exposed Yang Guozhong's face - Yang Guozhong borrowed troops from Tubo, which is to betray the country and seek glory! Between the two countries, there is no morality at all!

"Since Master Gumo is refreshing, Yang will not go around in circles." Yang Guozhong coughed lightly: "Please also ask the master to lead the Tibetan soldiers and horses to come to Maweipo in a hurry to surround the six armies of the Praetorian Guard." ”

"As the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, he ordered the army of the neighboring country to surround the forbidden army of the Tang Dynasty, this is the first time I have seen such a prime minister." In the corner of Gu Mo's eyes, a mocking smile appeared: "Of course, the Tubo army came at the invitation of the Prime Minister, so naturally listen to the Prime Minister's orders!" It's just that the dove has one more thing to ask for, and I ask the prime minister for forgiveness. ”

Gu Mo's words were spicy, Yang Guozhong's face was pale and uncertain, but he only had patience, to this point, the Tubo people had actually controlled the situation, and Gu Mo's so-called begging was actually taking advantage of the fire to rob!

"Master Kuma, Yang has promised that the Tang Dynasty will no longer ask about Nanzhao. Moreover, when Yang arrived in Sichuan, he also had to rely on your country. I wonder what else the master asks? Yang Guozhong gritted his teeth in his heart, but he had to lower his voice.

"The matter of Nanzhao is a matter between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo!" Haruma smiled: "Haruma personally, there is a small request, and I ask the Prime Minister to take care of it." ”

"Master, please say, Yang will do his best!" Yang Guozhong was terrified in his heart, he understood that the matter of Gumo would never be a small request, and this request would inevitably be higher than that of a Nanzhao country! But now, I can only promise it.
