Wang Junkuo is now a proud horse's hoof, ordered by the governor of Youzhou, Zuo Guanglu, after being both civil and military, he claims to be a great hero of quelling chaos, becoming arrogant and arrogant, not abiding by the law, and tyrannical in the market. Just listen to the words of the ear, those who disobey him are either belittled or refrigerated and cannot be reused, and they are almost the uncrowned kings of Youzhou.

Especially when I received Li Shimin's letter today, I was even more proud and happy in my heart, and I couldn't help laughing out loud, and my voice made me laugh hoarse.

A qiē's hard work, a qiē's dedication, have paid off.

In the letter, Li Shimin commended his merits, affirmed his loyal actions to protect the country and destroy his relatives, and asked him to go to Chang'an to discuss the affairs of Youzhou and the details of Goguryeo in Liaodong.

After receiving praise, Wang Junkuo was not happy to be like this...... He was pleased to discuss the details of Goguryeo in Liaodong.

Liaodong is the territory of the Han people since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was originally a lonely bamboo country, the Western Zhou Dynasty divided the world into a place and sealed it in Jizi, the Han Dynasty is subdivided into three counties in Liaodong, and during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Liaodong also belongs to Liaodong County. However, after the Northern and Southern Dynasties, with the rise of Goguryeo, a small country in the northeast, they had great ambitions to develop to the west. In the eighteenth year of the emperor's reign, Goguryeo raised troops to invade western Liaoxi in order to seize the territory of the Han people and occupy most of eastern Liao. It was also because of this battle that the foreshadowing of Yang Guangsan's expedition to Goguryeo in the future was laid.

Because of the tyranny, the Sui Dynasty had already turned from prosperity to decline, and the tragic price paid by the three expeditions to Goguryeo directly pushed the Sui Dynasty to extinction.

Goguryeo also became more unscrupulous because of the fall of the Sui Dynasty. It constantly invaded the surrounding countries and completely occupied all the lands of Liaodong. If it weren't for the rapid rise of the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo would have developed westward.

Goguryeo occupied Liaodong and occupied the territory of the Han Chinese. With Li Shimin's temperament, he will not let his territory be occupied by people who are unheard. Youzhou is adjacent to Liaodong, and once a war with Goguryeo starts, Youzhou will inevitably be the base camp and the stronghold of the decisive battle. And he is the governor of Youzhou, in charge of Youzhou's military and political affairs, and Li Shimin specially and cautiously called him back to Chang'an, doesn't it mean that the next expedition to Liaodong will entrust him with a heavy responsibility?

The next target of the Tang Dynasty was Liaodong. Goguryeo?

"Is it the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces? Or the commander of a great army? Wang Junkuo thought proudly, no matter what kind of appointment it was, one thing was certain. It will definitely not be low. Now his merit status, but second only to Li Jing, Luo Shixin and Li Shiji, it is impossible to arrange him with the position of leading the army, only the commander is worthy of his identity.

As long as you achieve excellent results in the campaign against Goguryeo. Military merit can surpass Luo Shixin.

For Rothson. Even if the two have not crossed paths since the battle of the water, Wang Junkuo still can't forget him.

I can't forget that Luo Shixin stepped on his head and rose in the Tang Dynasty. I can't forget that Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin beat Luo Shixin severely in order to seek justice; I can't forget that in order to maintain the harmony under his command, Li Shimin chose Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin to expel him from the Qin Palace.

In his heart, Luo Shixin, Qin Qiong, and Cheng have already bitten gold. These three men were regarded as enemies, especially Elossin. After all, Luo Shixin, Qin Qiong, and Cheng Yanjin are all reckless men in his eyes. But these three reckless men are not inferior to him in terms of importance or merit, and Luo Shixin, a character who has always made him step on the soles of his feet, jumped up and left him far behind because he did what he couldn't do......

If it weren't for years of calculations, forcing his father-in-law, Li Ming, the king of Lujiang, to get this work of quelling the chaos, maybe even Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin would have to climb on his head one day. But even so, his merits are still much worse than Luo Shixin. But as long as there is a good performance in the next battle to recover Liaodong, what is the problem of surpassing Luo Shixin?

The more Wang Junkuo thought about it, the more excited he became, and he was satisfied with himself. At this moment, the news came from outside the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion that Li Xuandao asked to see him.

Hearing the words "Li Xuandao", Wang Junkuo instinctively frowned, and his face was unhappy.

As the uncrowned king of Youzhou, Wang Junkuo is only afraid of Li Xuandao at this moment.

Li Xuandao's ancestral home is Longxi, and he is one of the eighteen bachelors founded by Li Shimin in the Literature Museum. After the rebellion of Li Ming, the king of Lujiang, Li Shimin was worried that Wang Junkuo was a big boss, so he specially transferred Li Xuandao as the governor of Youzhou to help Wang Junkuo stabilize the situation in Youzhou. As the second-in-command of Youzhou after Wang Junkuo, Li Xuandao is very unaccustomed to Wang Junkuo's actions, as long as Wang Junkuo exceeds his authority and violates the law, he will come forward to stop it and severely reprimand.

Li Xuandao has two identities, one is one of the henchmen of the eighteenth bachelor Li Shimin, and the other is Fang Xuanling's uncle. Fang Xuanling, as a person from the Prince's Mansion, is not prominent now, but as long as people with brains know that Fang Du, the two most important right-hand men of Li Shimin, will definitely leap thousands of miles in the near future, and the position of prime minister is indispensable.

Wang Junkuo is very political, and knows that the background of Li Xuandao is too complicated, even if he is the governor of Youzhou, he can't touch him at all, and he can only hold a grudge in the face of his harshness.

Hearing this, Wang Junkuo instinctively disgusted him, but he had to invite him in warmly to speak.

Li Xuandao is a personable middle-aged scribe, and after politely visiting Wang Junkuo's boss, he also explained his intentions.

"I heard that the Metropolitan Governor has received instructions from the imperial court to see the court, and he is going to Chang'an to see him in the near future?"

There were two pieces of news from Li Shimin, one was an official document, which commended Wang Junkuo's merits and specially summoned him. The other is a private letter written by Li Shimin to Wang Junkuo in addition to official documents.

As soon as the official document arrived, it spread throughout the officialdom of Youzhou, and Li Xuandao, as the second-in-command of Youzhou, learned of this news as a matter of course.

Wang Junkuo was not surprised, and said: "I will enter Beijing in the next few days, and after I leave, Youzhou will ask for Changshi." He said with some pride, it was a glorious thing for the general of the town to be ordered to return to Beijing, and only a person like Li Ying who had persecution paranoia would be afraid to return to Beijing.

"This is certain, the matter of eating the monarch and being loyal to the monarch, you have me in Youzhou, and the governor can rest assured." Li Xuandao said, took out a letter from his arms and said: "I have a letter to Xuan Ling here, which has already been written, but the distance is far away, and I can't find a chance to send it." When the Governor returns to Beijing, can you help me deliver this letter to my nephew? ”

Wang Junkuo responded with a word, and this gesture was still able to have private contact with Li Shimin's first confidant, Xuan Ling, which would be beneficial to his future.

Wang Junkuo simply made the handover, and couldn't wait to rush to Chang'an.

Wang Junkuo led his cronies and guards all the way south, traveling very fast, and arrived at the Fengling ferry in a few days.

It was nightfall, the Yellow River was dangerous, and Wang Junkuo could only choose to charter an inn in a nearby village, planning to rest for a night and cross the Yellow River tomorrow.

As night fell, Wang Junkuo, who was sleeping, was woken up by a slight knock on the door.

"Who!"

Wang Junkuo responded with dissatisfaction, waking people up in his sleep, and no one couldn't help but complain.

"It's me!" A familiar voice came from outside the house.

Wang Junkuo heard that the person who came was Wei Yunguang, one of his rare henchmen. Then I heard him say again: "Mr. Chang'an is here." ”

Wang Junkuo was shocked, his drowsiness disappeared, he hurriedly sorted out his clothes, opened the door, and saw a middle-aged man in a black linen round-necked robe standing behind Wei Yunguang, and he politely invited the other party into the room regardless of whether he recognized it or not, and then gave Wei Yunguang a look.

Wei Yunguang cautiously received the order and guarded outside the gate.

Wang Junkuo invited the middle-aged man to sit down and said, "I don't know what Mr. commands?" ”

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "Run, my lord told me to let the Metropolitan Governor escape, no matter where I run, the faster I run, the better." ”

"This?" Wang Junkuo was shocked, and said after a long while: "Why is this?" ”

The middle-aged man said: "Most of the governors are far away in Youzhou, and they don't know the situation in Youzhou. Luo Shixin has already stared at the governor, the three divisions will be tried, and the adults of my family have used their connections to help you. But who didn't expect that Luo Shixin would have the courage to change the decision of the three divisions to be tried, veto the fairness of the triage, and also get the support of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to appoint the Criminal Department to re-investigate the matter. ”

Wang Junkuo's face turned pale instantly, he had a grudge against Luo Shixin, Luo Shixin was in charge of his case, where did he have room for maneuver.

"My family said that Luo Shixin has full authority to deal with this matter, and he can't ask about it. I don't know how the case went, and I don't know what he found. But on the cusp of this storm, His Royal Highness called the Governor from Youzhou to Chang'an, no matter what the reason is, it is debatable, not necessarily true. The middle-aged man said a word, straight to his heart.

Wang Junkuo is very political, and he knows a little about the situation in Datang. I also know a little about the economy of the Tang Dynasty, just after the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the expedition to destroy the Turks, it is impossible to conquer Goguryeo in the current situation. Goguryeo is also different from the Turks, fighting the Turks is to beat the water dogs, but Goguryeo does not have that prerequisite, and the environmental conditions are even worse than the grasslands. It makes no sense or reason to launch a campaign to recover Liaodong and attack Goguryeo at this time.

At first, he thought that Li Shimin was in a hurry, but now when he heard the middle-aged man say this, he immediately suddenly ......

Wang Junkuo walked to the bed and opened the letter that Li Xuandao gave him without hesitation, wanting to take a look at the contents of the letter.

Holding Li Xuandao's letter, Wang Junkuo was dumbfounded...... I don't understand.

Li Xuandao's credit to Fang Xuanling is cursive, cursive is longitudinal, fast, fast, the gesture is surrounding, the glyphs are wonderful, and the changes are full of changes......

Those who understand can see the good and the bad, and those who don't understand are ghost drawings......

Wang Junkuo's cultural level makes all the official scripts reluctant, how to understand this cursive script? (To be continued......)
