Princess Taiping said: "Erlang Mo smiled, this time Zong Chuke took bribes, but he stabbed Da Louzi." ”

"What the hell is going on?"

"Erlang, you will understand when you see someone. To tell you the truth, the reason why I didn't greet Erlang just now was to receive this person. ”

……

Princess Taiping ordered to go down, and a middle-aged man in his forties, with a small hat in green clothes, was introduced into the living room.

Cui Geng looked familiar, and wondered: "This benevolent brother, have we met somewhere?" ”

"It's rare that Cui Xiang remembers the last general!" The man made a big salute respectfully and said, "The last general is Guo Hong, the son of Guo Yuanzhen, the governor of Anxi." When I was in Lanzhou, I was fortunate to see Cui Xiang. ”

"Oh, I remembered."

At the beginning, Cui Geng went to Tibet as a "mourning envoy", and was warmly entertained by Guo Yuanzhen in Lanzhou, and of course introduced his son Guo Hong in the process. It's just that Cui Geng's identity is too high, Guo Hong can't say anything, and the two only have a one-sided relationship.

Cui Geng said strangely: "General Guo, why are you dressed up like this?" ”

"Actually, the last general will secretly run back......" As he spoke, Guo Hong knelt down again and said, "Please also ask Cui Xiang and Princess Taiping to be the master of my father!" ”

Then, he explained Guo Yuanzhen's dilemma in detail.

After listening to it, Cui Geng silently made a summary: I'm not afraid of no good things, I'm afraid that there are no good people.

Recently, the strategic situation of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions is not bad, Tubo is divided ~ split into two, the Queen Mother Chima is located in Tibet, and the Che Cavalry Chang Chizha Lugong is located in Qinghai, and the two sides are constantly fighting.

This year, a large-scale plague broke out in Tibet, and the deaths and injuries of people and animals were not counted, and it was basically difficult to affect the countries of the Western Regions.

As for the Turks, on the one hand, there are Gu Lulu's youngest son Que Secret Service and Minister Mei Lusi, and on the other hand, there are the same Russian Special Service and Miao Shenke, who are talented and auxiliary to the Emperor, and the two sides are also fighting on a par, and they have no time to look west.

Now the most influential powers in the Western Regions are nothing more than the Tang Dynasty and the Turgish.

The Khan of Tuqishi, Suo Ge, was not only afraid of the military strength of the Tang Dynasty, but also received the favor of Cui Geng, and was unwilling to be an enemy of the Tang Dynasty.

However, in this good situation, there are two people who have crooked thoughts.

A man named Ashina Xian was a descendant of the Western Turkic Khan. After the fall of the Western Turks, most of the royal family surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.

Ashina dedicated his father Ashina Yuanqing, who was killed because he offended Lai Junchen, and Ashina Xian was also exiled to Yazhou. After the Shenlong coup, he was put back in Chang'an.

Ashina Xian pondered, the situation in the Western Regions is so good, can I restore the country with the support of the Tang Dynasty?

Of course, Li Xian is not stupid, and it is impossible to raise a tiger.

However, Ashina has a way, and he thought to himself, if Tuqi Shi suddenly fights with Datang, won't this use me? After all, the Turkish is one of the ten Western Turks, and with my identity as a descendant of the Western Turkic Khan, I can call on the rest of the departments to help the Tang Dynasty fight the Turkish. When the time comes, take this opportunity to secretly expand your power.

However, how to provoke the contradiction between Datang and Tuqishi?

Coincidentally, at this time, the interior of the Turgish was not very stable.

At the beginning, Cui Geng accompanied Guo Yuanzhen on a trip to Tuqi Shi and helped Suo Ge kill the powerful minister Que Si Zhongjie.

Que Si Zhongjie's son Que Si Linde, but took advantage of the chaos and fled with some of his clansmen. Now that they have gathered some of the small tribes and grown in strength, they have begun to challenge the authority of Suoge.

The original military secretary of the Tang Dynasty was Wei Yuanzhong, and now it has been replaced by Zong Chuke.

Ashina sent a generous gift to Zong Chuke, saying that although I am a descendant of the Western Turkic Khan, I have received the grace of the country and want to serve the Tang Dynasty. Now that there is chaos in the Western Regions, I have a word to offer: Our Datang should support Que Si Linde. They are fighting each other, shouldn't we support the slightly weaker ones and let them fight forever?

Zong Chuke looked at the money ticket of the silver number of Changle Fang, and felt that Ashina Xian was too reasonable, so he immediately issued an official document asking Guo Yuanzhen to support Que Si Linde.

After Guo Yuanzhen read this official document, he really felt that the day was over.

Now Que Si Linde just looks more majestic, and his real strength is far from that of others. Is this a fight between two tigers? This is a tiger and donkey fight!

As for adding the Don Army? Still not successful.

After Li Xian came to power, he spent money like water, and in order to save expenses, he wantonly reduced the soldiers and horses of the Anxi Army. The current Anxi Army is simply a paper tiger, which can be broken at the first poke.

So, Guo Yuanzhen hurriedly wrote to the imperial court, asking to continue to support Suo Ge and not to make extraneous branches.

However, the will of the imperial court has not yet come down, and the second careerist has appeared, this person is called Zhou Yiyi, and now he is the official residence of the Western Regions Economic Strategy Envoy and the General of the Right Weiwei.

His right Weiwei general is a real position, and the envoy of the Western Regions is only a temporary dispatch, that is, to come to the Western Regions to gild.

However, after he arrived in Lanzhou, he saw Guo Yuanzhen, and he had the idea of "he can replace him".

In order to replace Guo Yuanzhen, Guo Yuanzhen must have major mistakes.

As a result, Zhou Yiyi knew that the strength of the Anxi Army was not as good as before, but he still publicly expressed his support for Que Si Linde's righteous move to avenge his father.

Suo Ge looked at it, rubbing, the opinion of the envoy of the Western Regions, of course, it represents the meaning of the Tang Dynasty. The knives are all up to the neck, so what else is there to say? him!

So, secretly ordered troops and horses, suddenly attacked, first captured Que Si Linde alive, and then led an army of 100,000 to surround Lanzhou City, where Guo Yuanzhen was stationed.

When the soldiers approached the city, Suo Ge asked Guo Yuanzhen, what do you want to do? Or the two of us have done it once?

Guo Yuanzhen didn't have any soldiers in his hands, so he really couldn't get angry, so he said that this matter has nothing to do with me, it was the traitorous Sect Chuke who accepted bribes and acted recklessly.

Suo Ge said, "Well, I'll believe you for the time being." I will write a letter of repetition, and you will pass it on to the Tang Emperor.

"What are you going to write?"

"If you want me to withdraw from the army, please bring the head of Zong Chuke."

Guo Yuanzhen heard this, he really felt like a dog for another day, and as soon as you were in the book, didn't it show that I sold Zong Chuke? Then can I still have a good one?

However, at this time, Zhou Yiyi said, okay, that's it, I'll help you hand over the fold. Suo Ge, if you don't dare to write, it's a grandson!

So, Suo Ge wrote a recital, and Tang Jun went through the proper procedures and sent it to the capital.

And Guo Yuanzhen, who was already scared to pee here, let his youngest son Guo Hong take the path and hurriedly came to the capital to help him with activities.

Cui Geng was still a little puzzled, and said: "That's it, that's it, how do you know about Ashina's plan?" ”

Guo Hong smiled bitterly and said: "The celebrities who are greedy for money are well known, and in order to know the inside story, my father once sent a few people to pretend to be a surprise person to bribe him. As a result, the prime minister said that if the price offered by Suo Ge was higher than Ashina's, he would not mind changing his course. ”

"This bribery is really unscrupulous, can't you see Ashina's wolf ambition with the wisdom of the sect?"

This is a reasonable question, it is true that Zong Chuke is greedy for money, but he is also really capable.

When Wu Zetian was in power, a Turkic man called "Tu Dun of Strength" descended to the Tang Dynasty, and the tribe moved to Pingxia. Later, it was rumored that Tutun rebelled, and the Jingshi was shaken.

At that time, Zong Chuke was a member of the military department, and analyzed that Tudun was loyal and generous, and would not easily rebel, but his nephew Mozi was quite cunning and did not get along with Tudun. I am afraid that the rebel this time is none other than Mozi. However, this person is not very capable, and there will be no serious consequences. As expected, it didn't take long for the Xiazhou Assassin to play, and the Mozi tribe ran north and was captured by the state soldiers and Tudun.

To be able to do it to such an extent, it is not too much to call Zong Chuke a masterpiece in the world.

Guo Hong explained: "Cui Xiang, you have to think so, even if Ashina is really a wolf son, what harm will it do to Zongxiang? This man is very ambitious, but his talent is like that. At the beginning, the imperial court used his father and brother to recruit the remnants of the Western Turks, but they were unsuccessful, and now Ashina Xian wants to restore the country by himself, which is simply a fool's dream. ”

"And what about the safety of our Tang Army?"

Princess Taiping sighed: "Erlang, do you think everyone else is so concerned about the court?" This Guo Yuanzhen was defeated, isn't there a reason to send troops to recruit the Turks? Zong Chuke, the secretary of the military department, doesn't he have a chance to seize the military power? Therefore, he is happy to push the boat with the current. ”

Guo Hong sneered: "Zong Chuke's calculation is quite good, but this time, there are those few testimonies who pretend to be Tuqi Shiren, coupled with the impeachment of Cui Xiang and Princess Taiping, he is guilty of accepting bribes and causing great changes in the Western Regions, no matter what, he can't get rid of it!" ”

Cui Geng smiled bitterly and said, "General Guo, you are too optimistic, this matter is not that simple." ”
