Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Yang Dazhuang said: "His Royal Highness, when I say this oath, it is different from ordinary oaths. I am at least [-]% sure about my uncle. It depends on whether you agree or not."

"Why is it different?"

"Twenty miles from here is Changshou Mountain. There is a Nuwa Temple on Changshou Mountain, which is the most efficacious. If you agree, we will swear in front of the statue of Nuwa in Changshou Mountain Nuwa Temple."

Gao Yanshou sneered and said, "Aren't you trying to do something in Changshou Mountain, planning to kidnap the boy?"

Yang Dazhuang shook his head and said: "Young master, you can bring the army with you. Then how can we kidnap young master. If it's you..." He turned his head and said to Mr. Yuan: "You have to watch out for these two hostages, I can see Well, these two are saving their lives, I'm afraid they won't exchange obediently!"

Boy Yuan said: "General Yang doesn't bother with this matter! This general has his own plans."

Yang Dazhuang said: "It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince thinks that my two proposals, Yang Dazhuang, are feasible?"

"Of course it's possible! As for how to persuade old General Yang Wanchun, I ask General Yang to worry about it!"

"That's natural, but the 100 taels you paid just now is the agreed price for shoes. We are making an idea and trying to convince my uncle. Look..."

Boy Yuan looked at him contemptuously, and said, "Come here, give another 200 taels to General Yang!"

……

……

Yang Dazhuang hurried back to Seoul, saw Guo Ye, and said, "Master, I have done everything you told me to do. In order for your plan to be successful, I will bury the old man very hard!"

Guo Ye laughed loudly, and said: "You...you really pretended to be the illegitimate son of your father-in-law! I never thought that you, Yang Dazhuang, seem to be such an honest person, and you are so good at deceiving people! You are worthy of being General Zuo Wuwei, Sure enough, there is something extraordinary! My father-in-law is not mistaken!"

Yang Dazhuang blushed, and said, "Isn't this all your confession? If you can't wipe out the [-] army of Yuan boys this time, I'm sorry, Yang Dazhuang, for pretending to be crazy and bearing the burden of humiliation!"

Guo Ye said, "All wiped out? Why should I wipe them all out? General Yang, not only can we not wipe out the [-] troops this time, but we have to find a way to let most of them go..."

Chapter 1392

Under Yang Dazhuang's "enthusiasm" running around, the two parties finally finalized the alliance at the Nuwa Temple Fair in Changshou Mountain the next day and exchanged hostages.

Of course, Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen were not happy about being hostages.

However, the family members of the two are in Pyongyang, in other words, they are both in the hands of Yuan Gai Su Wen.The two had no choice but to knock out their teeth and swallow blood, and obediently accept Yuan Boy's arrangement.

The distance of twenty miles was not close, and the army arrived at the foot of Longevity Mountain near noon the next day.

The man from Yuan reined in his horse and said, "General Yang, the Longevity Mountain is in front of us. May I ask where is the Nuwa Temple that is so effective?"

Yang Dazhuang scratched his head and said: "His Royal Highness, I just heard that there is such a Nuwa Temple in Changshou Mountain. I don't know where it is. I haven't been here before. Otherwise, you can wait here, little one." People go and see first!"

He urged his horse to go into the mountain, Gao Yanshou swung his steel whip, blocked the way, and said: "General Yang, don't go!"

"Gao Yanshou, what do you want to do?"

"What are you doing? How can you invite people to form an alliance, and you don't know the place? You see, there is a ghost in your heart! Tell me, what kind of conspiracy and tricks did you have to lure the army here? Why do you want to run away alone?"

Yang Dazhuang exclaimed that he was wronged, and said: "I have a good heart! I was afraid that everyone would go the wrong way, so I volunteered to go ahead and explore the way. If you are so suspicious, I will not wait for you! Go find it yourself!"

Gao Yanshou said: "Your Highness, I think this Yang Dazhuang has ulterior motives, we can't let him go!"

Boy Yuan also thought it was a good idea to hold Yang Dazhuang in his hands. No matter how tricky Yang Wanchun was, he couldn't ignore the life and death of his illegitimate son.He said with a smile: "General Yang, how can we have less people to explore the way in our army? Don't bother General Yang with such trivial matters!"

Yang Dazhuang said angrily: "It seems that you still don't trust me, whatever you want! I'm still happy! But His Royal Highness, I think you, General Gao Yanshou, don't pay much attention to the alliance. You have to be careful What kind of stumbling block did he give you behind, after all, no one wants to be a hostage..."

"Yang Dazhuang, don't sow discord! I am loyal to the current king, and the sun can learn from it!"

Boy Yuan's heart moved, but he still supported Er Gao and said: "General Yang, you don't need to say too much. I can still trust the two generals Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen!"

"His Royal Highness, you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others!"

At this moment, the explorer Tan Ma came back and said, "Master Pioneer, there is no Nuwa Temple within a radius of five miles!"

Gao Hui really understood, and said, "Your surname is Yang, what's the matter? There's not even a Nuwa Temple, so what kind of alliance can you have? I've already seen that you are not authentic, that is, the son of a boy... that kind-hearted man You are the only one who has been fooled by you!"

Boy Yuan blushed, gave Gao Huizhen a hard look, and then said to Yang Dazhuang: "General Yang, what's going on? If you don't say that you are ugly today, Yuan will be offended!"

But Yang Dazhuang slapped his thigh and said: "You are so confused! Changshou Mountain has a radius of tens of miles, what can you see if you explore the horse and walk five miles? Besides, the Nuwa Temple is on the top of the mountain, and your explorer will never go there Are you going to climb a mountain?"

Gao Yanshou sneered, and said: "It's true that Changshou Mountain has a radius of dozens of miles, and it's true that the Nuwa Temple is built on the top of the mountain. However, our horse exploration is not just for leisure. We not only found out the road, but also visited the mountain. People. Why haven’t people near Changshou Mountain heard of your supernatural Nuwa Temple? It’s hard to justify it!”

Yang Dazhuang said: "If you say you are confused, you still don't admit it. These mountain people don't know. It can only mean that the Nuwa Temple on Changshou Mountain is not close to this side, but on the other side! Let's go into the mountain, just go forward, and go another way. Tens of miles away, you can definitely find the Nuwa Temple!"

Gao Yanshou said: "Your Highness, I think this Yang Dazhuang is clearly trying to trick us into the mountain, there is something very suspicious about it!"

Boy Yuan also felt that what Yang Dazhuang said was unreliable, but just waiting here is not a problem!

Just when he was in a dilemma, a group of people rushed out from the mountain pass, and the leader shouted loudly: "Where is His Royal Highness, Mr. Yuan? Guoye of the Tang Dynasty, please be polite here!"

Boy Yuan had never met Guo Ye before, and said, "Guo Ye? Are you the Minister of Rites of the Tang Dynasty, Guo Ye, Duke of Pingyang County?"

"Yes, exactly!"

Boy Yuan sneered, and said, "Guo Ye, if you escaped by chance in Pyongyang, you should leave Goguryeo as soon as possible and return to Datang. Why do you still want to meddle in our Goguryeo's internal affairs? Do you think you've lived too long?"

Guo Ye sighed, and said: "His Royal Highness, you have misunderstood me. It's not that I, Guo Ye, want to come, but I must come. Let me tell you clearly, my father-in-law will not be able to come to the alliance. Now, Guo will replace General Yang Wanchun to form an alliance with you!"

"This is the sincerity of your south? Could it be that Yang Wanchun is dissatisfied with the alliance?"

"That's not true. My father-in-law is of course in favor of the alliance, but don't we have one more thing to do?"

"what's up?"

"Exchange the hostages! We are going to hand over Rongliu County King Gao Jianwu to you two... the guy named Gao. Gao Jianwu is the king appointed by King Yingyang. Father-in-law's move is not good to say the least. , it must be regarded as the seller asking for glory. The old man really couldn't save face, so he sent me out. The old man pretended not to know!"

Boy Yuan felt reasonable after hearing this, and said: "Since that's the case, I won't force it. But where is the Nuwa Temple you mentioned? How come no one has heard of it?"

Guo Ye said with a smile: "The Nuwa Temple is still twenty miles away. I was afraid that you would not find it, so I came out of the mountain to meet you! King Rongliu, please!"

Gao Yanshou said: "Changshou Mountain is dangerous. If the army enters, I'm afraid it will be ambushed by the enemy. Your Highness, I think it's better to send some brothers to find out the way before entering the mountain and the Pingyang County Guild League!"

Guo Ye said in a leisurely manner: "His Royal Highness, if you are not at ease, you can send someone to inquire, but Changshou Mountain has a radius of tens of miles, and the mountain road is difficult. It is not so easy to inquire clearly. Anyway, I am not in a hurry, and I will follow you The alliance is the same as that of the current king, Yuan Gaisuwen."

Boy Yuan was also stunned, and said: "There is no need to investigate any more, I believe in the character of the Duke of Pingyang! I also believe that no matter what kind of conspiracy and tricks there are, it will not be difficult for my [-] army!"

After walking for another ten miles, it will be past noon, and people are tired and hungry!

Boy Yuan asked suspiciously: "Mr. Pingyang, there are no people on this road? Your Nuwa temple is so effective, why is it not full of incense?"

Guo Ye said: "You don't understand this. There is a saying that bandits pass like a comb, and soldiers pass like a grate. When the common people see us coming, they have no time to hide. How can they come together?"

"Then how far is this place from your Nuwa Temple?"

"Not far, not far, just a few miles ahead!"
