Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

After finishing speaking, he dragged Zhuo Yuan into the crowd like a puppet.

On the edge of the cliff, only Guo Ye was left watching Zhuo Yuan enter the crowd with regret and sympathy, but he couldn't help but cheer in his heart, this trip to Luoxi City must be smooth sailing and unimpeded.Hehe, this kid Zhuo Yuan is really a lucky general, he has made great achievements in silence!

Chapter 1179 Arrived as scheduled

With the sworn brother Mo Yefeng as the tiger skin, Zhuo Yuan, the Goguryeo Cui envoy, was really popular and hot on the way to pass the customs in the next dozen cities, and was treated three times by the guards of the important cities and towns.

By the way, Guo Ye, the Koguryo mission, entered and exited the next city extremely smoothly. It was indeed smooth sailing and unimpeded, and even the link of being questioned and inquiring about his identity was repeatedly avoided.

Indeed, going to Luoxie City with Mo Yejin together was just as Guo Ye had expected before. The time was saved the most, and the process was simplified the most.

However, it was precisely because of Mo Yejin's companion that the guards of more than a dozen cities after Doronil City knew the latest movements of Tang Jun Li Ji's troops.The city of Doronil was captured overnight, and [-] Gaochang soldiers were destroyed overnight, which sounded the alarm for them, the generals who defended the city, and re-arranged heavy troops at the city gate.Who knows when Li Ji's army would suddenly arrive and catch them by surprise?

Regarding this point, Guo Ye could only express regret to Li Ji.It is just that misfortune and blessing depend on blessing and misfortune subsides. If there is a gain, there will be a loss, and it is the same in ancient times.

However, compared to his smooth passage through these important cities and towns this time, those are trivial details, and they will not affect his steps to go to these cities.

In the next few days, Mo Yejin gave full play to the role of his tiger skin amulet. On the seventh day after leaving Golmud City and the sixth day after fleeing from Doronil City in a hurry, Guo Ye and his party finally arrived at Luo, the capital of the Tubo Kingdom. Some cities outside the city, and stopped.

The resting place is less than ten miles away from the royal gate of Luoxie City.

This is an abandoned lamasery. The rafters and beams in this temple have long been covered with cobwebs, and the Buddha statue is even more stained and fallen on the ground. It seems that this lamasery has been deserted for a long time.

The lamas here have disappeared for a long time, and it is not known whether they were destroyed during the last turmoil in Luoxi City, or whether these lamas were relocated to the Potala Palace on the Red Mountain to pray for the nobles in the palace to pray for Buddhist scriptures and Buddha.

This time, it was not Mo Yehe who proposed to stop here temporarily, but Cui Mingzhu, the envoy of Goguryeo, his sworn brother.Of course, the real proposer is naturally the person behind the scenes who really makes up his mind - Guo Ye.

Mo Yefeng was depressed, it was almost to Luoxi City, why did it stop?

So, he sat down next to Zhuo Yuan, hugged his shoulders and said affectionately: "Mingzhu, my good brother, why are you resting here? Isn't this dawdling? Hurry up and get your people to set off and follow me." In the city, I will take you to visit the capital of Tubo. It must be different from your Goguryeo country. It has a different flavor. Besides, my father-in-law, the king of Gaochang country is also in the city now. Hehe, I will take you to meet him. My wife, Princess Rabbit of Gaochang Kingdom is also in these cities, I will take you to meet your sister-in-law!"

Naturally, Zhuo Yuan couldn't answer him, so he had to repeat the old trick, babbling and showing off the authentic Goguryeo stick dialect.

How can Guo Ye not understand the elegant meaning by asking the strings?This proposal to stop and rest was secretly taught to Zhuo Yuan by him.

So, he stepped forward and said: "General Moye, my envoy Cui said thank you for your hospitality and generosity, but it is a pity that he will not be able to go to the city with you to meet His Majesty King Gaochang, let alone your beautiful Wife, Princess Rabbit of Gaochang Kingdom!"

When it came to the last four words, Guo Ye reacted in a panic. Damn, the title of Princess Gaochang is really ugly. If there is Princess Rabbit, will there be Princess Pig, Princess Dog, and Princess Mouse?

After hearing this, Mo Yejin was taken aback, frowned and asked, "Why?"

Guo Ye continued to explain: "My envoy Cui said that the meeting with His Majesty King Gaochang and His Royal Highness Princess Rabbit has to be postponed. Because today, he cannot enter the city with you, so he must part ways with you here in advance. My envoy Cui suggested that you should go to the city first. He will rest here for about two hours, and then enter the city at about sunset. After entering the city, we will go straight to the palace of Queen Yunrong of Tubo. This time, I came to visit Tubo to meet her at the order of King Yingyang of Goguryeo."

"Uh……"

Mo Yejin was confused for a while, and asked in puzzlement: "I know that you are carrying the will of King Yingyang of Goguryeo this time, so you have to pay a visit to that mother Yunrong as soon as possible... Uh, Queen Yunrong, and her lover Uh, no, her new husband, Xue Yantuo Khan. I can understand that you want to meet their couple as soon as possible. After all, this is a decent etiquette related to the two countries. But why do you want to part ways with me? You have to deliberately How about entering the city one after the other?"

Guo Ye deliberately turned his head away from Zhuo Yuan, Zhuo Yuan cooperated alertly and continued to speak Goguryeo.

Afterwards, Guo Ye explained: "My envoy Cui said that he did this for the sake of you, General Mo Yefeng. He said that you are his sworn brother, and he doesn't want you to have trouble."

"Oh?" Mo Yejin raised his thick eyebrows and said in surprise, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Guo Ye poked his head over, Zhuo Yuan spoke Goguryeo again, Guo Ye then pretended to be an interpreter and said: "Cui Envoy said, if you gallop back to Luoxie City two hours before us at this time, the first time you will The loss of Doronil City and the annihilation of [-] Gaochang troops by the Tang army were reported to King Gaochang. He also explained to King Gaochang that the reason why you lost so much this time was to protect our Goguryeo mission from being chased by the Tang army. It was exhausted before the city gate was opened and the Tang army took advantage of it to enter. Then, based on your father-in-law King Gaochang's preference for you, and this time you sacrificed your subordinates and lost the city for the sake of the overall situation, then Yun Rong The queen and Xue Yantuo Khan will not punish you for the crime of losing the city. On the contrary, if you slowly enter the city like us, others will definitely say that you are fleeing for your life. In this way, you Even if my father-in-law wants to help you, General Mobaba, it will be very difficult! Even if you will not be beheaded and lose your life, it is still unknown whether you will be dismissed and left idle, and whether you will be able to lead the army alone in the future ah!"

"hiss……"

Mo Yejin took a deep breath, listened to Guo Ye's explanation, stared at Cui Mingzhu with wide eyes, clapped his hands and praised: "Your brother is indeed from a famous family, and he is so considerate. That's right, if I first If you gallop into the city at one step, you may not be guilty of losing the city, and you can also earn a comprehensive contribution from the escort mission. But if you slowly enter the city with you, if others see me, they will think that I am greedy for life and afraid of death, abandoning the city. Escape! When the time comes, a virtuous brother will clarify for me in front of Queen Yunrong and Xue Yantuo Khan, so I can sit back and relax! Tsk tsk, amazing, amazing, my virtuous brother is really smarter than me, but I have neglected these twists and turns Go around!"

"Clap~"

After that, he slapped his hands violently again, then stood up and slapped his buttocks, and said: "Okay, just listen to my brother, I will enter the city first, and you will enter the city after two hours. Wait for the matter to be settled." , after all the dust has settled, you and my brothers have another good drink, and I will let you meet your sister-in-law Princess Rabbit, haha... sons and daughters!"

With a big wave of his hand, Mo Yejin called the dozens of followers he had brought back to the ground, shouting: "Follow me and enter some cities first!"

"Brother, see you in the city!"

"Brother...Brother, goodbye, goodbye!"

Zhuo Yuan stammered as he said this, and watched Mo Yejin lead his followers out of the dilapidated Lama Temple.

When Mo Yejin walked away, Zhuo Yuan suddenly wiped his mouth with his hand, and spat: "Bah, bah, bah, you can't learn Chinese even though you can speak it, it's a fucking clumsy tongue!"

Afterwards, he cupped his hands at Guo Ye and asked, "Sir, why do we part ways with this guy here? Why don't we let him lead us into some cities? Doesn't this save the checkpoints of the Tubo guards at the gates?"

Guo Ye shook his head and said, "We have arrived here as scheduled, and this idiot's mission has come to an end."

"grown ups!"

Arsenic, who had been speechless on the road, suddenly stood up.With a face of indifference, he glanced coldly at the direction Mo Yejin and the others were leaving, and then suggested: "Since the task of this guy has been completed, why let them go? Fortunately, they have just walked not far, why not let the subordinates go?" He took some tricks and went up quietly, and killed Mo Yefeng and his subordinates together! This kind of person will only become our future enemy if he lives, and since it is useless, then we can't keep it!"

Chapter 1180 The soldiers are divided into two groups, and each makes dangerous moves

"Arsenic, don't be impulsive!"

Guo Ye immediately stopped Arsenic's impulsive thoughts, waved his hand and said, "It's easy to kill him now, but now we have successfully arrived outside Luoxi City, why bother to make troubles? Leaving the good fate of Mo Yefei, we can't bear the future And there's a place for him. I sort of see—"

Speaking of this, Guo Ye paused for a moment, moved his butt and got up from the ground slightly, and continued: "I can see that Mo Ye is suspicious, but it is not without merit. At least this person is stubborn, There is no habit of turning back when things are confirmed. It can be seen from the fact that he insisted on sworn brothers with Zhuo Yuan. Now he has confirmed Zhuo Yuan as sworn brothers. In the future, we will be in some cities If there is any need for help, maybe he will not refuse. Zhuo Yuan, what do you think?"

"Uh..." Zhuo Yuan corrected in time, "My lord, it's the Goguryeo envoy Cui Mingzhu who made a sworn obeisance to him, you understand!"

"Ha ha……"

Guo Ye knew very well why Zhuo Yuan emphasized this, but he still made trouble because of his sworn oath, and then said cheerfully, "Yes, yes, it is Cui Mingzhu. So you must play a Goguryeo envoy for me during the time you are in Tubo." Minister Cui Mingzhu, until you find Tajina and take her out of Luoxi City and Tubo Kingdom safely, then you can be yourself again."

Zhuo Yuan snorted, and responded with some lack of interest: "Got it!"

When Guo Ye talked about his excitement, he added arsenic: "And from the insinuation and insinuation of the recent journey with Mo Ye, I feel that the countries in the Western Regions are not as monolithic as the British Duke said. It seems that these small foreign countries are allies with each other. The ultimate goal is to defeat the Tang army, expel Li Ji's troops from Tubo, and divide the Tubo kingdom. However, these small foreign countries are secretly doing their own things and have their own ideas. Now Yunrong, the prodigal queen, is married to Xue Yantuo Khan Bazhuo, in terms of strength, the combined strength of these two people is superior to that of other countries. Therefore, on the surface, the Alliance of Western Regions is dominated by these two people, and the other countries are supplemented. I can’t find the law to follow the order, and the order is like a mountain. On the contrary, several other countries have their own small Jiujiu. Therefore, to say that they are monolithic, it is because the British have overestimated these wild ways. I think fortresses are often the easiest to break from the inside. .”

After finishing speaking, Zhuo Yuan and Pi Shuang showed deep thought on their faces, and then Zhuo Yuan asked: "Then the lord wants to take advantage of the opportunity of coming to Luoxi City to find Tajina, and by the way, take their so-called Is the alliance messed up?"

Guo Ye said: "I can't guarantee this. If it is possible, why not do it? Maybe if we make such a fuss and succeed, it will create a chance for the British government to counterattack? Forget it, let's not think about it for the time being." , Take one step at a time, and at present, finding Tajina is our primary task when we enter Luoxi City this time, after all, Duan Zhixuan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, did not give me much time."

The two nodded in agreement, and Pi Shuang asked: "My lord, you offered to rest here and part ways with Mo Yefeng, and he will enter the city in two hours later, but there are other arrangements?"

"That's right!"

Guo Ye waved to the two of them, motioning for them to gather around, and then said: "Well, after we enter the city, the soldiers will divide into two groups. Zhuo Yuan, didn't Mo Yefeng give you two yuan to enter the city two days ago?" Pass token?"

Zhuo Yuan nodded and said: "Yes, he said that this is a copper token jointly cast by the countries of the Western Regions after the alliance, and it is specially distributed to the ministers and workers of other countries to facilitate their entry into some cities. This token is common in Tubo He is the son-in-law of the Gaochang Kingdom and the general of Zhenguo, so he has three yuan on him. He gave me two yuan, and the remaining one is on him.”

As he said that, Zhuo Yuan took out two copper tokens one inch thick and the size of a palm from his arms, and showed them in front of Guo Ye and Arsenic.

Guo Ye couldn't help but joked: "Look, your sworn brother is really kind and generous to you, keep one piece for yourself, and give you the rest. Hahaha..."

Zhuo Yuan was depressed for a while, and had nothing to refute, so he could only roll his eyes in protest.

Guo Ye took a token from Zhuo Yuan with a smile, and said, "I will take one, and then lead fifty people to continue pretending to be Goguryeo envoys into the city. With this token, I want to visit some cities." No one in the village will embarrass you. When you arrive in the city, there will naturally be some officials from the city to receive you. There must be someone who can speak Goguryeo in such a large Tubo court. You play by ear and find a way to enter the Potala Palace to meet Bazhuo And Yun Rong, these two bastards!"
