"Why?"

"Because Weichen's shoulders are too small to carry such a heavy responsibility." Guo Ye said with a bitter face: "No matter what you say, this is an enemy of Your Majesty, and Weichen doesn't dare!" ”

"When it comes to this, do you still want to resist the will?"

"After receiving this holy decree, you will have to be your Majesty's enemy in the future, and you will inevitably die. If you don't accept this holy decree, you will be disrespectful to the decree, and you will still have to be in a different place. Aren't you embarrassed? Forget it, if you're really angry, cut down Weichen now! ”

"What are I doing with you?" His Majesty Li Er rolled his eyes and said, "That's it, you don't accept the order, someone will take it." Why should I hang myself from a tree? I'll find someone else to do this. ”

Guo Ye had an ominous premonition in his heart, and said, "Who do you want to give this holy decree to?" ”

"You don't have to worry about that. What I do, do I have to explain to you clearly? All in all, you just need to protect the crown prince, and I will never touch your military power. In addition......"

His Majesty Li Er paused for a moment, and then continued: "Regarding that Jiang Yumei, don't think what will happen to me. Since it is the meaning of Guanyin, I will not make any extraneous branches, so you can take her into the room. ”

This is really difficult to answer, Guo Ye had to nod and say, "Yes." ”

His Majesty Li Er said again: "By the way, I may not be your vanguard officer, you don't have any ideas, right?" ”

"Of course not. In fact, there are many courtiers who use soldiers above the micro-ministers, even if they can't be the vanguard, it's nothing. It's just that King Jiangxia's ability, Weichen is not very convinced, but he definitely can't talk about complaining about His Majesty. ”

"That's good. In fact, even if King Jiangxia is as you said, if he really can't do it, it doesn't matter the overall situation. This time, I was going to take the British Duke Li Ji as the general manager of the march. King Jiangxia, you are not convinced, you have nothing to say to the British duke, right? ”

Li Ji is the legendary Xu Maogong, who can really be called a god with soldiers.

Guo Ye said: "Of course, the British public has the merit of destroying Tibet. Let him be handsome, even if King Jiangxia lacks ability, it should be fine. There is no objection from the minister. Weichen was in Chang'an City, silently praying for His Majesty's victory, and the horse was successful. ”

"In Chang'an City? That's not going to happen! His Majesty Li Er shook his head and said, "This expedition to Goguryeo is still a must-do for the Duke of Qin. ”

"Your Majesty wants Weichen to go with you on the expedition? Let Wechen be a deputy head of the march or something? Declare in advance, you can't let me be the deputy vanguard, and I don't deal with King Jiangxia. ”

"It's not for you to go with me. To tell the truth, now I am like a cloud. Although you are good at using soldiers, among the many famous generals, you can only be called good. Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, and Su Dingfang are not under you. It's not that you can't do without it. ”

Although this is true, it doesn't sound so good, Guo Ye sneered: "That's, that's." ”

His Majesty Li Er said again: "However, you have a skill, but you are a civil and military general in the court, and you can't compare with each other." This time, I just used your skills. ”

"Your Majesty...... What do you mean? ”

"Of course, it's your combination of vertical and horizontal skills! Queen Tianzhu was able to voluntarily surrender to my Tang Dynasty, in addition to the army of Wei Guogong, there is also the persuasion of Qin Guogong. Not to mention that you have made two missions to Sanhan and one to Xue Yantuo, and each time the results have far exceeded my expectations. ”

"This time, Your Majesty still wants Weichen to envoy Goguryeo?" Guo Yeyi frowned and said, "Although the two countries do not fight each other. But who knows if Yuan Nanjian's grandson will jump off the wall in a hurry? Your Majesty, this ...... Isn't that right? ”

"Where, where, not to envoy Goguryeo. I have already started a war with Goguryeo, and you are my minister, how can I rest assured that you will be in danger? ”

"Then Your Majesty means ......"

"I'm going to let you go to Khitan."

"Khitan? There is a Khitan in this year? Guo Ye was taken aback, and couldn't help blurting out these words.

Of course, he had heard of the name of the Khitan, which was the predecessor of "Liao" in history. After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the Khitan took advantage of the situation and established the Great Liao.

Later, because Shi Jingjiao presented the sixteen states of Yanyun, the Great Liao became stronger and stronger, enough to compete with the Song Dynasty. Well, this is a gold paste for the Song Dynasty. In fact, the Khitan has been pressing the Great Song Dynasty.

Guo Ye always thought that the rise of the Khitan was also a matter of the late Tang Dynasty at the earliest. Unexpectedly, in the early Tang Dynasty, they had already become the climate, and they actually entered the eyes of His Majesty Li Er.

Of course, he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing and said, "Uh...... What does Weichen mean is that the Khitan can still pose a threat to our Datang? ”

"It's not a threat, it's a nuisance." Then, His Majesty Li Er said in a loud voice: "Dong Shun, take my "Map of the Whole World". ”

"Yes."

It didn't take much effort, so Dong Shun walked in with a map.

His Majesty Li Er unfolded the map and said, "You see, the Khitan is here, bordering our Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo. Of course, now they have not yet established a state, just a loose tribal alliance called the Khitan Eight Divisions. The Khitan first submitted to the Eastern Turks, and later declared themselves vassals to our Tang Dynasty. ”

Guo Ye looked at the map, the territory of the Khitan is really not small, and said: "What is their strength now?" ”

"It's not bad. The total population was about 200,000, and it was able to mobilize 40,000 cavalry. ”

Guo Ye knew that the so-called 40,000 cavalry was only 40,000 herdsmen, and the real combat strength was definitely much worse than the 40,000 elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and said: "The 40,000 cavalry alone is also worthy of His Majesty's attention?" ”

"No, not just 40,000 cavalry. If you look at the map, there is a Xi on the top of the Khitan. Xi's strength is similar to that of the Khitan, and the two of them are weak and weak, and they have always advanced and retreated together. So a total of 80,000 cavalry could be mobilized. ”

"Since they have already declared themselves vassals to our Datang, Your Majesty's intention to let Weichen send envoys is ......"

"There is news from the Emperor of the Honorable Nation that the envoys of Goguryeo have arrived in the Khitan. The Khitan and Xi already have the intention of uniting Goguryeo to deal with my Tang Dynasty. ”

His Majesty Li Er sighed and continued: "I personally led an army of 100,000 to compete with the 200,000 army of Goguryeo, and I also want to attack the city. This battle, to be honest, is not so easy to fight. If the Khitan and Xi send troops and cut off my back road, the consequences are really unimaginable. ”

"So, what does Your Majesty mean is to let Weichen persuade the Khitan not to be in the same stream as Goguryeo?"

"Exactly. If you can say that they can go on an expedition and attack Goguryeo with me, it will be the best. If you can't convince them, it's fine, as long as they don't help each other. ”

"Wechen understood." Guo Ye thought for a moment and said: "Weichen thinks that the Khitan and Xi are weak, and they can't be called my Datang's henchmen now." If it annexes part of Goguryeo's strength, it will be difficult to say. So, it's better to keep them on hold. ”

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and said, "This matter will be left to you, whether you send troops or not, in a word, before destroying Goguryeo, stabilize them." ”

"Yes!"

"As long as you get this done well, I'll do you a great job. In the future, the reward for meritorious deeds will never be under the king of Jiangxia. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. But...... If Wechen has already arranged to pacify the two countries, and you haven't conquered Goguryeo yet, can you allow your ministers to serve in front of the army? ”

His Majesty Li Er's face sank, and he said, "Speaking of which, you are still not optimistic about my expedition?" ”

"Of course not, the micro-minister does not obey anyone, and he does not dare to disobey the British public! Weichen thought that the credit for this lip service was not as good as the real swords and guns on the battlefield. Please also ask Your Majesty to fulfill it. ”

His Majesty Li Er's face turned pale at this time, and said, "Okay, I promise you." However, your main task is to persuade the Khitan and Xi, and as for the pre-military service, you can come or not. Don't delay a big thing because of greed. ”

……

Come out of His Majesty Li Er and return to the Mansion of the Duke of Qin.

Guo Ye couldn't help but feel worried. He even secretly doubted whether it was right or wrong for him to turn Goguryeo upside down the first two times.

Historically, Yuan Nanjian and Yuan Boys, and Yuan Men continued to fight, which gave the Tang Army an opportunity.

Due to his own intervention, Yuan Nan and Yuan Nan are dead, and Yuan Nanjian has great power and has no constraints. It has shown a stronger ability than in history.

Assassinate His Majesty Li Er and contact the Khitan. The success of either of these two was enough to change the fortunes of Goguryeo.

Alas, I didn't put him back if I knew it, this is really smart but mistaken by cleverness.

In addition, there is the Khitan, which is also a real headache.

In the future, this nation will become the great enemy of the Han people, can you think of a way to nip it in the bud now?

Just as he was thinking wildly, suddenly his grandson came to report that the prince had arrived!

Guo Ye was shocked, this child is only twelve years old, what is the matter with him coming to him? Even if he and he are now allies, it's not appropriate to visit him with such a swagger, right?

Don't give yourself any moths, this bear child!
