Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Guo Ye felt that if he asked the captain, he should be able to know where Su Dingfang was, and he should be able to find out what was going on outside the gate.

Immediately, he stepped forward to greet the captain.

Sure enough, when the school lieutenant saw Guo Ye, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, "So it's Mr. Guo? Oh no, it should be Lord Yizhou. Haha, are you here to find our General Su in such free time today?"

Guo Ye nodded noncommittally, and asked, "That's right, I'm here to look for Brother Su, by the way, what's your name?"

The captain replied: "Reporting to the Marquis of Yizhou, my humble surname is Qu Mingzhi, and I am Zhiguo Colonel Zhiguo under General Su's command, but because of my humble figure, everyone calls me Qu Fat Zhi."

Guo Ye was secretly amused, he was really a big fat man as his name suggests, and he deserved the nickname of Fat Paper.

Immediately, he said: "So it's Colonel Qu, hello. Let me ask you, where is General Su in the Yamen now? Take me to see him."

Qu Fat Paper nodded and said, "Marquis of Yizhou, come with me."

As he said that, he walked ahead and led the way, and took Guo Ye to see Su Dingfang.

On the way, Guo Ye couldn't help the doubts in his heart, and asked what happened to the two groups of sergeants at the door, Qu Fat Zhi knew everything, and told Guo Ye the whole story and the truth.

After listening to Qu Fat Paper, Guo Ye finally understood.

Honestly, in the final analysis, Su Dingfang was squeezed out because he was implicated, and now the entire yamen of the right leader's Weifu is basically emptied.

The reason for the involvement is very simple. Su Dingfang not only did nothing when the three thousand students made trouble in Beijing, but also pushed Changsun Wuji to the forefront, and naturally he was hated by Changsun Wuji.

But this is only one of them, the real reason is because of the relationship between Su Dingfang, himself, and Yu Shinan.

It is well known that Su Dingfang was recommended by Yu Shinan to the Yamen of the Youling Army Weifu, and he had a close relationship with himself, which destined him to have an unusual relationship with the Qingliu School of Shilin.

It is precisely because of this that, as Su Dingfang's immediate boss, the leading general of the Weifu, Yin Tianzong, would not know?How could Su Dingfang continue to control the Yamen of the Right Leader's Weifu?

No wonder the sergeants at the door were all newly transferred by Yin Tianzong, and they didn't want to get involved with Su Dingfang, a general who was sitting on the bench.

Dare to feel that the group of sons are not idiots with elm bumps, but people who know the direction of the wind and know the direction of the wind.

After all, I still don't kill Boren, Boren died because of me.

In an instant, Guo Ye felt very sorry.

Listening to the school lieutenant Qu Fatzhi, now Yin Tianzong has rectified the entire internal structure of the right leader Weifu Yamen, and all the school lieutenants who had previously intersected with Su Dingfang have been transferred away, and now only Qu Fatzhi is left The school lieutenant at his side.

It seems that Yin Tianzong's next step is to move Su Dingfang. As for where to move him, it is unknown.

bang~

The evil fire in Guo Ye's heart suddenly exploded, his expression darkened, and he said secretly, "Changsun Wuji, ah, Changsun Wuji, you people are too ridiculous, to suppress even a handsome talent like Su Dingfang for your own self-interest, In your eyes, what is the overall situation and what is the national interest?

Grandma's, it's too deceiving!

I don't stay here, but I have my own place to stay. I don't believe that Su Dingfang can die of aggrieved if he leaves here?

After thinking about it, he had already arrived at the place where Su Dingfang was. It turned out that he was not in the official office, but was wielding a knife and stick in the martial arts arena, presumably to vent his evil fire.

Qu Fatzhi led Guo Ye here, and left the arena vigilantly.

When Su Dingfang saw Guo Ye, he immediately stopped what he was doing, threw the stick in his hand back to the wooden stand, picked up a towel on the ground, wiped the sweat on his face, walked towards Guo Ye, and asked: "Huh? You are a rare visitor, why did you come to my place?"

Seeing this guy pretending to be okay, Guo Ye felt even more guilty, and said angrily, "If I didn't come, I wouldn't know that you were excluded because of me, and you suffered so much. Wronged. Do you still think of me as a brother?"

Su Dingfang was taken aback when he saw Guo Ye questioning and scolding without saying a word, but after listening to the content of the words, he probably understood.

He shook his head very casually, and smiled indifferently: "It must have been the talkative fellow Qu Fat Paper who told you? Come here to cry with you like a little bitch, right? It’s okay, I don’t stay here, I have my own place, it’s a big deal that I’m not staying here at the yamen of the Army Guard’s Mansion, what’s the big deal.”

Seeing that Su Dingfang was so calm and happy, Guo Ye felt even more uncomfortable.

Then he asked: "Brother Su, I really can't do it, let's quit. Didn't you always want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make contributions? Why don't I think about it and help you..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Su Dingfang waved his hand and said three times to stop, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about it for me, you boy, Mr. Yu Shinan has already arranged for me, and there will be news in a few days. If you are really sorry, then you buy me a drink Stop at the bar, let's go, let's go drink, don't stay in this bird's office and suffer from the pickle gas!"

Saying that, he threw the towel on the ground hard, and pulled Guo Ye straight to leave.

Hearing Su Dingfang say that old man Yu had other arrangements, Guo Ye felt more at ease.That's right, old man Yu is still the right servant of Shangshu at any rate, so it's easy to arrange Su Dingfang a good job?

Thinking of this, I feel relieved.

In this way, he left the Martial arts arena half-pushed and half-pulled by him, left the Yamen of the Right Leader Guard's Mansion, and then took Liu Zhenxuan's carriage to Dongshi.

When they came to Dongshi, Su Dingfang found an orchid restaurant at random, and asked for a seat on the second floor near the window, and the two of them opened their stomachs and started drinking.

Halfway through the drink, Su Dingfang suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, your boy came to the Yamen to look for me suddenly, didn't he just want to visit me? Could there be something else?"

Guo Ye chuckled and said, "Brother Su's eyes are like a torch, and I came here specially this time to ask for your help."

Su Dingfang smiled, took a few gulps of gulp again, and said with feigned anger: "I just said that you are an egg that flies don't bite. I didn’t hold back my fart. Tell me, what’s wrong with me.”

Therefore, Guo Ye told the story that he was about to go to Yangzhou to serve as the governor of Yangzhou, and talked about the various difficulties he might encounter when he arrived in Yangzhou.

Finally, he asked for help: "Brother Su, you also know that I am not familiar with the place when I arrived in Yangzhou. If the Zhechong Duwei's Mansion in Yangzhou cannot be handed over to my own people, it will be really difficult to move forward, and I will not be able to do any big things. Therefore, I want to ask Big Brother Su, in Yangzhou, do you have any old friends in the army or former robes, who can be qualified for the post of Yangzhou Zhechong Captain?"

After Su Dingfang listened to Guo Ye's request for help, he calmed down, and after a while he pondered: "You are right, Yangzhou Zhechong Duwei's mansion has [-] soldiers, if you want to gain a firm foothold in Yangzhou, Zhechong The Captain's Mansion must be in your hands. But the candidate you want must be a local snake with some ability in Yangzhou. Wait, let me see if there is any old friend in this area..."

Guo Ye snorted, and even though Su Dingfang sat across from him and quietly screened the candidates, he himself drank a small wine in suspense.

After Yuemo waited for him to drink a full cup of wine, Su Dingfang suddenly looked surprised and called out: "Yes!"

Guo Ye was instantly filled with joy, really?This time I really found the right person, so I didn't come here in vain.

Immediately, he looked up at Su Dingfang, and asked eagerly: "Brother Su, who is this friend of yours? Who is his name, and where does he work now?"

Su Dingfang picked up the wine cup and drank a couple of sips, then said leisurely, "My friend's surname is Chen, and his name is Lang. During the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Chen Lang and I used to scoop rice in the same pot, but these years There are a little less walking around. But after all, I have lived and died together with him. If I write a book, I can still reminisce about the past. If this person can help you in Yangzhou, it will be of great benefit to you. "

"Oh?"

Guo Ye's eyes lit up immediately. This person had actually fought with Su Dingfang, so his seniority in the army should be a plus, but would such a person be willing to take the position of captain of Yangzhou Zhechong, who is from the fifth rank?

Immediately, he eagerly asked: "Brother Su, what rank is your friend now?"

Su Dingfang shook his head, looked around and asked other things: "Guo Ye, have you heard that Emperor Yangdi, the stupid emperor of the former Sui Dynasty, used the power of the country to dig a road to Zhuojun in the north and Yuhang in the south, running through the north and south for nearly two A thousand-kilometer Grand Canal?"

Guo Ye was stunned for a moment, wondering why Su Dingfang suddenly asked this, and subconsciously replied: "Of course I know, even a three-year-old in Chang'an knows about this, what's wrong?"

Guo Ye knew that the canal Su Dingfang was talking about was the world-famous Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, but there is no such name as the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

Su Dingfang said again: "The Grand Canal also passes through Yangzhou, did you know that? Yangzhou didn't know that a large number of people rely on this canal for food. And in the waters of the Yangzhou section of the Grand Canal, the most powerful gang is Yan Gang, do you know what the Salt Gang does?"

"Salt Gang?"
