If you don't agree with each other and fight, this is not Guo Ye's style.

However, today's situation is special, this Yuanhai Ziba has made it clear that he doesn't take Datang in his eyes, and everyone is watching, what can Guo Ye do?

Directly declare a war between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo? He doesn't have that much power.

Lead troops to attack Liaodong City? Just these 200 people, don't talk nonsense, 2,000 people will be given for nothing.

This is not the romance novel in which the army rushes, puts down the drawbridge, and then drives straight in.

Liaodong City, which is a three-layer defense of the inner city, the outer city, and the official city, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the city. As long as he enters the city, Guo Ye's people are the turtle in the urn, and he can be manipulated.

Even if Na Yuanhai Ziba was ruthless and slaughtered Guo Ye, Guo Ye had nowhere to reason, because it was he Guo Ye who attacked the city and provoked first.

His Majesty Li Er wants to avenge Guo Ye, and he has to find other excuses.

When His Majesty Li Er has found an excuse, the soldiers and horses are ready, and Liaodong City has been captured, Guo Xiaozha is estimated to have grown up. As for Yuanhai Ziba, I don't know if it turned into a cup of loess at that time.

Guo Ye only had two choices at this time. The first one is to turn around and leave, reverse Chang'an City, and find His Majesty Li Er to complain. But as soon as he left the country, he was brought back, and those who knew that Goguryeo was unreasonable, and those who didn't know had to say that our Pingyang County Gong was too watery, and as soon as he was wronged, he cried and went back to Chang'an.

The second option is to kneel and lick directly.

Guo Ye can come to a spiritual victory method of Ah Q, a gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, Taoguang is obscure. In fact, as long as the task of mediating the Three Kingdoms is completed and the situation in Goguryeo is clarified, His Majesty Li Er will not care about losing face a little. If His Majesty Li Er really loves face so much, he will not have the idea of taking Princess Wencheng and kissing him.

But who is Guo Ye and Brother Guo? That's a real villain. The villain takes revenge, from morning to night, seizing the day, and will not endure the moment.

In the midst of impossibility, he came up with a third solution.

As soon as Yuanhai Ziba said "Skull Mountain", he was able to arrest him, and he cooperated with the eldest grandson to have a tacit understanding, and in the blink of an eye, Yuanhai Ziba was restrained.

At this time, it was the Goguryeo side that was in a dilemma. If he directly turned his face with Guo Ye, the responsibility for the conflict would lie on the side of Goguryeo, and Guo Ye would return to Chang'an, and there would be no pressure to reorganize the armament.

It would have been better if Yuanhai Ziba had begged for mercy carefully, and Lord Guo Ye Guo hit it off with one hit, sent an envoy to the great cause of Goguryeo, and got off to a good start.

Unexpectedly, Yuanhai Ziba did not beg for mercy, but led out Gao Xinde, the lord of Liaodong City.

Gao Xinde is white and chubby, and there is always a humble smile on his face, not like the lord of a city, but like a good gentleman who is in charge.

Gao Xinde's small eyes narrowed, and he said, "Skull Mountain? I don't know where the angel of the kingdom knows about this Skull Mountain? ”

Guo Ye said vaguely and said: "On the way to Liaodong City, I listened to the vendors on the road. Today, I heard this deputy city lord of your city mention it, I don't know what is strange about this Skull Mountain? ”

Gao Xinde said: "If you ask Skull Mountain, you can ask the right person if you ask me." You ask someone, you really don't know the origin of this Skull Mountain. This Skull Mountain, in fact, is called Cave Mountain, which is seventeen miles west of Liaodong City. There are two holes on the top of the mountain, which are shaped like wheels, so it is called Cave Mountain. The villagers are ignorant, and under the false rumors, it is called Skull Mountain. It sounds scary, but it's actually nothing remarkable, and it makes the angels of the kingdom laugh! ”

This Gao Xinde downplayed what Skull Mountain said, Guo Ye would not believe it. If there was really nothing weird, Yuanhai Ziba wouldn't have specifically mentioned it.

However, now Guo Ye has no other evidence, so he snorted and said, "I heard that Deputy City Lord Yuan said that City Lord Gao is not feeling well, I wonder if he is better now?" ”

Gao Xinde's face was embarrassed, and he pointed at the Yuan Hai Ziba who was restrained, and said, "General Yuan is a rough man, rude and unreasonable, and he collided with the angel of the kingdom. You have a lot of them, so let's let them go first! ”

The knife was forced to his neck, Yuanhai Ziba didn't dare to be unreasonable to Guo Ye, but he was not polite to him, the top boss, and scolded, "The surname is high, I don't need you to pretend to be a good person here." There is a kind, you let the Tang people kill me, to see if the masters of Goguryeo are bad seeds! Goguryeo's state affairs are bad in the hands of your gang, and we are not afraid of the three million troops of the Great Sui, so why bother to call him a vassal! ”

Guo Yesin said that you are tough, why didn't you shout just now. Now that the intercession is coming, I know that we won't do anything to you, and if you say cruel words, what kind of hero are you?

Gao Xinde also made him unable to get off the stage, so he was so angry that he scolded: "The angel of the kingdom, this sublord of the deep sea, is stubborn, and insults the kingdom, I am really angry." I suggest that you set an example by putting him on the spot! ”

He is retreating as advancing, can Guo Ye really slaughter Yuanhai Ziba? This is on Goguryeo's territory.

Guo Yedao: "My Datang has always been able to convince people with virtue, and there has never been a reason to kill prisoners. Besides, it was just a little misunderstanding just now, and after a few words with this General Yuan, General Yuan is not our prisoner. As for his insult to the Tang Dynasty, it will be handed over to the Gao City Lord to deal with! Guo is not good at overstepping! ”

As soon as Guo Ye waved his hand, the eldest grandson Shi let Yuanhai Ziba go. Give this hot potato to Gao Xinde and see what he does.

thought that Gao Xinde would let people tie up Yuanhai Ziba, severely reprimand, and even beat dozens of military sticks. What I didn't expect was that this Gao Xinde didn't even do the work on his face, and said domineeringly to Yuan Haizi: "Deputy City Lord of Yuan, the matter of Liaodong City, now it is someone Gao who is in charge, please go back!" ”

Yuanhai Ziba snorted, didn't answer, and turned over on his horse. With a whistle, he returned to the city with his men.

Guo Ye saw that Gao Xinde took this matter so lightly, his face was gloomy, and he said, "This is the disposal of the city lord Gao?" ”

Gao Xinde made a bitter face and said: "So far, I don't hide it, I must have seen it from the angels of the kingdom." This Yuanhai Ziba is flying and domineering, relying on someone in the court, and he doesn't take me seriously at all. I, the city lord, can't help this deputy city lord at all! ”

People say that they are all ugly, and Guo Ye is not easy to entangle, and said: "I don't know who is in charge of this Liaodong City?" "The implication is Gao Xinde, can you do it, can you protect our safety in Liaodong City. In Liaodong City, if Yuanhai Ziba turns his face, if you can't stand it, we will stop eating.

Gao Xinde said: "Although Yuanhai Ziba has always refused to listen to dispatches, there is still someone in Liaodong City who is respected, please rest assured that the angels of the kingdom are respected!" ”

Eldest Sun Shi sneered, "I also heard just now that City Lord Gao is not feeling well and can't greet us. Now it seems that the body of the high city lord is still very good! ”

Guo Ye can't keep fighting with Gao Xinde, so the eldest grandson has to play this black face.

Gao Xinde said: "It's a shame to say, the lower officials originally planned to go out of the city early this morning to meet the angels of the kingdom. However, last night, that Yuanhai Ziba suddenly came to Xia Guan for a drink, and when Xia Guan woke up, he had already missed the hour. It is a capital offense. ”

Gao Xinde pushed two hundred and sixty-five, and pushed all the bad things on Yuanhai Ziba's body, as if he was the pure and harmless little white rabbit.

Guo Ye didn't believe he was so innocent.

If Yuanhai Ziba succeeded in humiliating Guo Ye, Gao Xinde, as the lord of Liaodong City, would naturally have his share of credit. If Guo Ye cleaned up Yuanhai Ziba, it would also hit Yuanhai Ziba's arrogance.

In any case, this Gao Xinde is a fisherman's profit. Maybe he was drunk by Yuanhai Ziba last night, and he did it on purpose.

Politics has always been a rare confusion. Guo Ye didn't pick it up, and said: "I see, it's all this Yuanhai Zi Ba who makes it bad, no wonder the city lord." ”

As soon as the atmosphere eased down, Gao Xinde beckoned Guo Ye to enter the city. The two teams were combined into one team, and Guo Ye and Gao Xinde walked side by side.

Gao Xinde said: "It is really Gao's sin to not be able to go out of the city to welcome him today." On the next road, please rest assured that the lord of our country has issued a decree that Gao will personally escort the angel of God to Pyongyang. If there is any inconsiderate hospitality, although Lord Guo pointed it out, Gao will definitely do his best not to disappoint the angels of the kingdom. ”

"Oh, Goseong mainly escorted the official to Pyongyang? What can the people of Liaodong City do? ”

Gao Xinde said angrily: "After Gao left, the position of the city lord of Liaodong City will be that Yuanhai Ziba. ”

"Liaodong City is located on the border, and it needs to be guarded by an old and serious person like Lord Gao, and handed over to a vulgar person like Yuanhai Ziba, I'm afraid it will not be a good thing for both the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo!"

Gao Xinde slapped his thigh and said, "Who said it wasn't!" Of course, I'm not saying that the errand of escorting Lord Guo is not important. But it's just the others, I still don't feel at ease when Liaodong City is handed over to people like Yuanhai Ziba. He has long been thinking about my position as the city lord, that is, he used this reason to kick me out, he is really a despicable villain! ”

"Lord Gao, your surname is Gao, this is the national surname of Goguryeo, is it possible that the power of the DPRK and China is not as good as this Yuanhai Ziba?"

Gao Xinde smiled bitterly: "Speaking of which, I and the current lord of the country, King Yingyang, have not yet come out of the five suits, and they can be regarded as people in the royal family." However, this Yuanhai Ziba is not without heels, he is now Mo Lizhiyuan Gai Suwen's cousin. To say something that shouldn't be said, now, our lord favors Yuan Gai Suwen more than us in the royal family. I can't fight this Yuanhai Ziba. ”

"Don't leave the branch?"

"Molizhi is the highest official position in our Goguryeo, and his status is only below the lord of the country. Get on the horse to manage the army, and get off the horse to manage the people. Grasp the military and political power of the whole country. is equivalent to Datang's ......" Speaking of which, Gao Xinde can't go on, Mo Lizhi really doesn't have a corresponding official position in Datang. If you really want to find it, it can only be the emperor. But if Mo Lizhi is the emperor, where should the king of Rongliu go?

"So, City Lord Gao, you and this Mo Lizhi are not on good terms?" Guo Ye asked quietly.

"My allegiance is His Royal Highness the King of Rongliu County, and I am in the same boat as this Yuan Gaisu Wenshi!"

Belch...... The Infant Yang King is not dead yet, and the battle is like this below.

The exchange is not deep, Guo Ye asked casually, Gao Xinde actually poured beans into the bamboo tube, and said it all. This is really not in line with his status as the lord of a city.

Is this Gao Xinde too honest? Or is it intentional?

Guo Ye thought about it, took an inch, and said: "I heard that the scenery on Skull Mountain is particularly good, and this official wants to take a tour, and he also asks the city lord Gao to arrange it, Guo is grateful." ”

Gao Xinde shook his head and said, "It's not that the lower officials don't give face to the angels of the kingdom. It is a foreign envoy, and what route should be taken is determined by our imperial court, and the subordinate officials have small positions, so they really have no such power! ”

The city lord of Liaodong City is not small. In Goguryeo, except for Pyongyang City, it is this Liaodong City that has strong defenses, and it is impossible for a person with high power to become the lord of Liaodong City. Gao Xinde said this intentionally to shirk.

arranged Guo Ye and others to the pavilion, and Gao Xinde said goodbye and left.

Guo Ye called the turtledove and the eldest grandson to the room to discuss countermeasures.

Guo Yedao: "Listen to this Gao Xinde's meaning, we have to listen to Goguryeo's arrangement wherever we go in the future." In this way, we will not only be unable to go to Skull Mountain. It is also very inconvenient to investigate the geography of Goguryeo's mountains and rivers. This mission to Goguryeo was half a failure. I wonder what you can do? ”

The eldest grandson said: "It's not that serious, if it really doesn't work, I can sneak out and investigate." However, if you can't do it publicly, the effect will be affected to a certain extent. ”

He really knows everything!

Turtledove said: "This is the next policy, and it has to be done as a last resort." The key is that we have the right to move freely. We not only have to investigate the geography of the mountains and rivers, but also look at the customs and customs of Goguryeo, which can not be learned by secretly investigating. ”

Guo Ye said: "In this way, the key to the matter is still on this high city lord. If you want people to comply, it is nothing more than to use power and temptation to take advantage, it depends on this high city lord, which medicine to take! ”

At this moment, I heard a guard shouting outside the door: "Gao Xinde, the city lord of Liaodong City, has arrived!" ”

Guo Ye couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this, didn't this Gao Xinde just go back, why did he come again?
