Yu Le and Yang Ye chatted for two hours, talking about joining the military and political affairs of various countries and their experiences. The two of them felt that they sympathized with each other, they were both fallen people from the world! You have great ambitions in your heart but you have no way of serving the country!
When Yu Le left the teahouse, he was thinking that during the riot in Bianjing, he had killed Wang Pu's son Wang Qian, the man who caused Yang Laoling to crash in front of Li Ling's monument. Hope this legend can live longer. In fact, Yu Le also wanted to ask Yang Ye if he knew the story of "Generals of the Yang Family under the Zhao Family", but he was too embarrassed to tell it. It must have been made up by the people of later generations! Otherwise, the Zhao family would have been wiped out long ago.
"Your Majesty, Liu Jiye, the governor of the Jianxiong Army, reported that he had obtained the military map of Shuo, Ying, and Wei Prefectures of the Liao Kingdom, and had a strategy to seize the prefectures. He said that he could seize them now while the Liao Dynasty is in civil strife." Prime Minister Guo Guo Wuwei said.
At this time, Emperor Liu Jun of the Northern Han Dynasty was only thirty-three years old and about the same age as Yang Ye. It may be because Yang Ye was adopted as his adopted grandson by his father, so he had to recognize Yang Ye as his adopted son. This Liu Jun is very interesting , he also adopted two other nephews as adopted sons, Liu Jien and Liu Jiyuan, one was nine years younger than him and the other was sixteen years younger than him. They were the emperors after his death. It was really strange to have such an old adopted son.
He was filial and respectful in character, liked reading, was good at calligraphy, worked hard and loved the people, respected the scholar-bureaucrats, appointed Guo Wuwei as prime minister, and reduced southern invasion. Therefore, Liu Jun, who had a relatively stable territory, was not as respectful to the Liao Dynasty as his father was, so in the later period of his reign Liao's aid gradually decreased and looting increased.
"If we attack the Liao Kingdom, won't the Zhou Kingdom attack us? By then we will be in danger of subjugation!"
"Your Majesty, Liu Jiye said that Zhou may attack Liao. When they attack Liao, we can also attack Liao."
"Oh, how did he know the news?"
"He said it was a Liao spy who surrendered to the city to give the news, but this person was later silenced by his own people."
"Is the news reliable?"
"It should be reliable!"
"Guo Qing! We, the Han State, are relying on the Liao State! Without the support of the Liao State, we would have been destroyed by the Zhou State. If we join forces with the Zhou State to attack the Liao State, then we, wouldn't we be treacherous!" Liu Jun said with a look on his face! The ground cannot be wiped away, but what I want is to capture the three states of Shuo, Ying, and Wei, which are of great strategic value. Not only has the territory expanded, but the population, food, and strategic depth have also increased.
"Your Majesty, no matter how we fight against the Zhou Kingdom, it is always a brotherly dispute, but the Liao Kingdom is a foreign race! We can learn from the ambitions of wolves! They have not stopped plundering us over the years. There is no question of whether we can rely on them or not. They They also used us to contain the Zhou Kingdom. Since Yelujing became the leader of the Liao Kingdom, civil strife has continued, so he has no energy to invade south. If he waits for him to quell the civil strife, he will definitely go south. They are Sima Zhao's heart! Besides, the country and the There is nothing more than a relationship of interest between countries, how can there be any real friendship!"
What Liu Jun was thinking was that this was the case, but what if the Zhou Kingdom was defeated by the Liao Kingdom, or if the Zhou Kingdom's attack on the Liao Kingdom was false, but the sneak attack on him was true? If you attack from both front and back, you will surely die!
"Guo Qing, how can we guarantee that Zhou will not attack us! If he attacks us secretly, we will be doomed!"
"Your Majesty, we can sign a contract with Zhou Guo to attack Liao together. If Zhou Guo betrays his promise, we will make the contract public and make the world laugh at Chai Rong. If Zhou Guo agrees to attack Liao with us, then we have achieved our goal. .Your Majesty, I have something I don’t know whether to say or not?”
"Say it!"
"Your Majesty, we are relying on the Liao Kingdom to survive and are ridiculed by the world, saying that we are hypocrites and traitors. You know this. If we join forces with Zhou to attack the Liao Kingdom, we can avenge our shame and let the world know that you are In fact, we are concentrating our energy and keeping a low profile, and we are not really colluding with the Liao Kingdom. In this way, people in the world will not laugh at us."
Liu Jun was moved by Guo Wuwei's words. In fact, he also knew the reputational trouble that relying on Liao State would bring to him. This is the regret and weakness of a small country, there is nothing we can do! This is what happens when a weak country has no diplomacy. But one thing Guo Wuwei said is right, that is, the struggle with the Zhou Kingdom is a brotherly struggle, and the Liao Kingdom is a life-and-death racial struggle. Being defeated by the Liao Kingdom may be the result of the Five Husbands and the destruction of China, the destruction of the country and the annihilation of the species!
"Guo Qing, when you send someone to contact Zhou Guo, you must keep it confidential."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Guo Wuwei was overjoyed after hearing what Liu Jun said. This is a good opportunity! I can also get rid of the infamy of being a fake country and a fake figure. My heart is towards the bright moon!
"Prime Minister, a farmer named Le San came to see you and said that he has something important to do and is waiting for you in your study." The housekeeper reported to Guo Wuwei when he returned home.
"Oh, I don't know this person. Can I search him?"
"Prime Minister, I searched and found nothing. I didn't even bring any money."
"Haha, interesting! Then I'll meet this Le San!"
The person in front of Guo Wuwei was Yu Le, but Yu Le was dressed like a farmer at this time.
"You are Le San! What do you want from me?"
"Xiao Lesan met Guo Xiang. When I came, someone asked me to send a message to Guo Xiang, saying: It is imperative to unify the world. Please take Guo Xiang as his own responsibility and save the world for himself after his death. Think more about things. Do you want to be famous forever or be infamous forever?" Simple and direct, no polite words. This made Guo Wuwei very surprised. He didn't play his cards according to etiquette. Is the other party so NB?
"Who is the person who asked you to send a message? Didn't they teach you etiquette?" Guo Wuwei was a little angry. Yu Le almost messed up the matter without knowing the conversation between Guo Wuwei and Liu Jun! Yu Le originally wanted to force Guo Wuwei to persuade Liu Jun to send troops to attack Liao, but now it was a bit of a disservice.
"Well, Mr. Guo, don't be angry. I'm just a rough man. It's my first time to see such a big official like you. Please forgive me for my poor etiquette! I took someone's money to let me say this. I don’t know the person who asked me to deliver the message at all. The person who asked me to deliver the message is an old man, he looks to be in his fifties or sixties, and he is a Han!"
"Okay, those who don't know are not guilty. You tell the person who asked you to pass the message, I know!"
"Master Xiang, the person who asked me to deliver the message didn't ask me to take the message back."
"Oh, you can go."
"Yes, Prime Minister, that, this... the person who asked me to deliver the message said, you have a silver reward for me. Hehe!"
Guo Wuwei is so angry! Fine! So someone gave Yu Le five taels of silver, and Yu Le happily took the silver and left. But Guo Wuwei fell into deep thought. He was a little confused about what had been decided. There were so many people who knew about it! It’s not reliable after all! Could it be the conspiracy of the Liao Kingdom? However, the current situation in the Liao Kingdom is indeed one of constant civil strife, so there shouldn't be time for such a trick! Famous and infamous throughout the ages, Guo Wuwei kept mumbling these two words.
"Sir, that farmer went to a tavern to have a drink after leaving our mansion. He must not be a craftsman!"
"Okay! Keep a close eye, maybe it's intentional."
"Yes, sir."
