Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

His Majesty Li Er nodded and said: "Guo Aiqing's words are also reasonable. How about this, how to support Fuyu Kingdom, you write a report."

In the eighth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, on April [-]th, everything is suitable.

Guo Ye, the Duke of Pingyang County in the Tang Dynasty, bid farewell to his family, took Turtle Dove, Sun Zishan, and [-] guards, and left Chang'an City with horses and whips.

This time, as the special envoy of His Majesty Li Er, he went to Goguryeo to mediate the disputes between Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla.

Guo Ye secretly swore in his heart that in ancient times, Ban Chao was envoy to the Western Regions, and his name went down in history.Today, I, Guo Ye, go to Goguryeo as an envoy, and I will also make him turn upside down!

Chapter 1247

Going to a foreign country, in terms of future generations, is definitely a high-end and high-end thing.

No matter which national leader comes to power, the first thing to do is to visit all countries to show their existence.Such things, no matter China or foreign countries, cannot be excluded.

However, in ancient times, even the glorious Tang Dynasty in the history books, going to foreign vassals was a drudgery with low cost performance no matter how you looked at it.There is a possibility of meritorious service, but compared with the hard work involved, it is completely out of proportion.The ministers are all proud and expensive, and they are afraid to avoid it.

Those who can establish a country around the Tang Dynasty are not fuel-efficient lamps. Regardless of their superficial respect for the Tang Dynasty, they have done a lot of things to make things difficult for the Tang envoys in secret.For example, Guo Ye almost lost his life on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau when he was sent to Tibet as an envoy.

Even without mentioning the intrigues and swords and shadows after the vassal state, with the tragic traffic conditions in ancient times, the fatigue of the journey alone is enough for the ministers on a mission to drink a pot.Therefore, in ancient times, more than half of such things as envoys to foreign vassals had to be considered physical labor.Unless it is a young and strong minister who works tirelessly, he can't do it.If you want an old bone like Kong Yingda to go on a foreign mission, maybe halfway, you will lose your old life halfway.

So within a few days of leaving Chang'an City, the boy Sun Zishan couldn't take it anymore and started to yell bitterly.

Although Sun Tzushan is a waste, he can still ride a horse.In March of Yangchun, on an outing in the green, Sun Tzushan rode a tall horse and walked several laps. There were five people and six people. He never felt that riding a horse was hard work.But that was horse riding just for fun. It took several days to ride a horse like this one now. Except for eating and sleeping, it was spent on horseback. It was by no means a good job.

Sun Zishan now only felt that his legs were burning hot, and after getting off the horse, he couldn't stand still.

Sun Tzushan approached Guo Ye and pleaded: "Teacher, it's not that the disciples are unwilling to follow the teacher to make contributions. They pay homage to meager efforts. It's just that the disciples have been weak and sick since they were young, and they really can't stand the long journey. I’m afraid the crotch thing won’t work. For the sake of your disciples and grandchildren, please show mercy and let the disciples go back to Chang’an.”

Guo Ye's mission to Goguryeo this time is really inseparable from Sun Zishan.It's not that Sun Tzushan suddenly showed great power and became versatile.The crux of the problem lies in the rebooting monk.

Before Guo Ye left Chang'an City, the abstinence monk returned to Baekje to do the promising spy work of the Tang Dynasty.Regarding the character of the rebooting monk, Guo Ye really did not dare to repay his expectations.

Although I don't worry about things like rebooting the monk's rebellion, because this old boy doesn't have the guts.However, he did not work hard, and shifting responsibility was the old monk's forte.In order not to spend too much energy on the old monk, Guo Ye had no choice but to bring Sun Zishan with him.

With Sun Zishan in his hand, Guo Ye can command the rebooting monk like his arm.If there is anything to do, directly hand it over to Sun Zishan, who supervises the rebooting monk to handle it.For the sake of his daughter, a monk who rebooted from pornography had to do his best.

It's not that Sun Tzushan would embarrass the daughter of a rebooting monk, this waste dim sum is not so bold, and has long been tamed by his wife.But what wind is the strongest in the world?Pillow wind!

If Sun Tzushan blows a few pillow words around his wife, and says a few bad things about the rebooting monk, the rebooting monk will not even think about admitting his daughter.The rebooting monk is also suffering from this weakness now.

Guo Ye had no choice but to comfort Sun Zishan, saying: "Zi Shan, you have heard a saying that one can become a master only when one suffers through suffering."

Sun Tzu replied pitifully: "Of course I have heard of it, but my disciple is really weak and sick, and cannot withstand such a long time of fatigue on the pommel horse. If you want to kill a thief, you will be powerless."

Guo Ye secretly scolded the straight girl thief, and continued to persuade: "Actually, there is another explanation for riding a horse. You think, the thing under your crotch bears the pain of bumps on the horse every day. Over time, can you Develop and grow, invincible?"

As expected, Sun Tzushan went on the road, and asked suspiciously: "Could it be that riding a horse for a long time also has the power of strengthening yang?"

Guo Ye replied categorically: "I don't tell ordinary people! You are my disciple of Guo Ye. You have been serving me for so long, so the teacher taught you. Youdao is true and false. What the teacher is teaching you now is the real talent of the teacher!"

Sun Tzushan was full of suspicion, always felt that this matter was a little unreliable, and said: "I don't study much, teacher, don't lie to me!"

Guo Ye continued to flicker, and said: "Of course, how could I lie to you as a teacher? Back then, during the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei Liu had big ears and cried bitterly. When someone asked him why he was crying bitterly, he said that he was crying because he had not ridden a horse for a long time and his flesh came back to life. There is so much flesh on his thighs, why should he cry? He is crying because he has less horse riding and the thing under his crotch is useless!"

Sun Tzu said: "Listening to the teacher's words is better than reading ten years of books. I didn't expect the story of the resurrection of the flesh to have such an explanation. It really enlightened the disciple. However, the disciple still..."

Guo Yexin couldn't say a cruel move, so he interrupted Sun Zishan's words.Said: "Sun Zishan, our mission to Goguryeo this time is a great opportunity to increase our knowledge. Do you know that Goguryeo is far away from the Central Plains, does not accept the king's transformation, and its customs and customs are very different from the Tang Dynasty!"

Sun Tzushan asked: "I don't know, so I would like to ask the teacher, what is the difference between Goguryeo and my Tang Dynasty?"

Guo Ye said wretchedly: "I have never been to Goguryeo as a teacher, so I don't know exactly what the difference is. But there is one thing that I heard from hearsay. I heard that the dress of the Goguryeo woman is different from that of my Tang Dynasty. Show off your breasts, don't hide it!"

"There is such a thing, it's really... really unimaginable!" Sun Zishan's young and pure heart was really shocked.

Guo Ye said with a look of longing, "Whether this is the case or not, as a teacher, I can't be sure. This time I am going to Goguryeo, as a teacher, I have to do some research to increase my experience. I will live and learn." Well!"

Sun Tzushan made up his mind and said: "It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. My disciple is willing to follow the teacher, go to Goguryeo, serve the country, and share the teacher's worries without fear of danger!"

Guo Ye nodded and said: "Very good, very good. You are my true disciple, teacher, with such determination. Your future is limitless. I am very happy, teacher, go down and rest!"

After seeing off Sun Zishan, Guo Ye secretly said in his heart that the thing about showing his breasts was true, but it was only exposed by women who gave birth. Year-old aunt go jerk off!

Sun Tzushan is a well-known junk snack, and he has no sense of accomplishment if he is fooled.Guo Ye was still not very happy.In fact, since leaving Chang'an City, Guo Ye has been frowning.

Among the envoys, apart from Guo Ye, there are only two people he is familiar with. One is Turtle Dove, one of the five tigers of the East Factory. That is his old subordinate. This time, he will follow him as a personal entourage. Set off.Another one is Sun Zishan.Except for these two people, Guo Ye's eyes were darkened for the rest of the envoy.

Guo Ye didn't know the two hundred guards, including the commander of the guards, Mr. Sun, and they were all forced by His Majesty Li Er.

Those two hundred bodyguards are still proved to be His Majesty Li Er's Habayashi guards, all of them are extraordinary in skill, one counts as ten.The most rare thing is that his net worth is clean, and there is no problem with his loyalty.Sending them here can be regarded as His Majesty Li Er's special attention to this mission to Goguryeo.

The key point is that Master Changsun, who was a Sima in Guangzhou a few months ago, was assigned to Guo Ye as the commander of the guards not long after he was transferred back to Chang'an City by His Majesty Li Er.

Eldest grandson, eldest grandson, does this elder grandson have any relationship with Her Majesty the Empress?No way, Empress Changsun is a famous beauty, and Changsun Wuji's appearance is justified.And this Master Changsun, with dark skin, a leopard head and eyes around the eyes, and a soft voice, with this appearance, he can play Zhang Fei on the stage without dressing up.

What is His Majesty Li Er's purpose in sending this eldest grandson to his side?Is it because His Majesty Li Er didn't trust him and sent an eyeliner to see him?His Majesty Li Er would not have made such a shameful thing so obvious, otherwise the means would have been too clumsy.

If it wasn't for monitoring himself, it could only be said that he had another mission. In the mission, there were two imperial envoys, one in the open and one in the dark.If this is the case, it will not be a happy thing for Guo Ye, who is used to controlling everything.If there was a disagreement between Guo Ye and Master Changsun at that time, Master Changsun would come up with another imperial decree, and it would be hard to say who the two hundred guards would listen to.

Puzzling, really puzzling!Alas~

Guo Ye sighed softly in his heart, and thought to himself, now that he has no arrows to turn back, he can only take one step at a time.

After all, the will could not overcome the reality. Sun Zishan insisted on riding a horse for a few days, but he couldn't hold on anymore.Seeing that he had tried his best, Guo Ye had no choice but to find a carriage for Sun Zishan.

Horse carriages these days don't have any shock absorbers, so it's okay if they go slowly.But if you want to keep up with the speed of the mission, this carriage is not as comfortable as a horse.Every day when he got off the carriage, Sun Zishan would vomit heavily. Whatever he ate in his mouth in the morning, he would vomit it all up at noon.In this way, the world's first motion sickness person was born, he - Sun Zishan - motion sickness!

In the end, there was no choice but to slow down, and the envoys were walking more and more slowly.

After walking for more than two months, Guo Ye and his party arrived at the Governor's Mansion in Yingzhou.Although Yingzhou Dudufu is a government in terms of political division, it is actually only a county-Liucheng County, and there is only one city-Liucheng.Only because it is located on the border of the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo, and its geographical location is very important, it was upgraded to a mansion.It probably means the municipality directly under the central government of the province now.

Different from the geographical environment of later generations, the environment in Liaodong at this time was harsh, sparsely populated, and wild animals were rampant, which was very unsuitable for long-distance trekking.Before, Guo Ye and others could replenish food and supplies through Datang's station, without worrying about food and accommodation, but it will not be so convenient in the future.After leaving Liucheng, it was a barren land, and he had to solve the problem of board and lodging by himself.

Guo Ye and others replenished enough food and fresh water in Liucheng before moving on.Because the road was difficult, I was not walking fast. It was almost noon in less than thirty miles out of the city.

Guo Ye was about to order everyone to take a rest and prepare lunch.Suddenly a scout came running over and said, "Sign up to Lord Pingyang, there are people blocking the way!"

Chapter 1248

Twenty miles outside Liuzhou City, in a place that is inaccessible, suddenly a group of people blocked your way, then Guo Ye had to think carefully, what are these people doing?

Four big words will appear in the minds of normal people-highway robbery.

Guo Ye also secretly wondered, did he really encounter a robbery?

The team on my side is more than 200 strong men, and it is also a cavalry team.If the robbers have a little brains, they need to know how many people to take down.

If there were so many robbers, it would be too hopeless for them to do such robbery in this place where no one shits.Usually, there is no large group of people passing by here.With so many robbers, robbing a few passers-by and making a deal is not enough for everyone to share.
