"What to do?"
Guo Ye held his chin and looked at the ancient city of Ali two hundred steps away, and it was difficult to make a choice for a while.
The appearance of the ancient city of Ali was absolutely unexpected to him, and it was a huge, great variable.
And there is also a heavy topic involved, that is, this ancient city of Ali turned out to be the hiding place of the remnants of the Sui Dynasty.
The remnants of the Sui Dynasty, whether it is Guo Ye, a person who has traveled through later generations, or Kang Bao, Pang Feihu, Zhu Fatzi, Guan Jiu and other people who live in the present, are not strangers at all.
How long has it been since the fall of the Sui Dynasty and now Zhenguan?
Emperor Yang of Sui, the most corrupt bastard in history, killed his brother and sister-in-law twenty-six years ago (that is, in 604 AD), and staged a palace coup to seize the throne.
In the succession of thrones in previous dynasties, there is no fuss, after all, born in the emperor's family, there is no shortage of bloody methods. Even the current Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty Li Er, is not Xuanwumen slaughtering his own prince brother and King Qi brother, and coercing his father to abdicate and make way for Xian, it's not a big deal.
But he is not comparable with His Majesty Li Er, and His Majesty Li Er's son inherited his father's business and worked hard to create the rule of Zhenguan.
And what about the tyrant Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty? In the early stage, it can still look like it, but in the later stage, it will be finished, and it is a large-scale construction of the palace, and it is the cost of the people's fat and people's manpower and material resources to dig the canal, which is enough, at least it can be of some use.
The key is that the prodigal emperor spared no expense, not only in order to satisfy his own arrogance and luxury, but also raised taxes all over the country, which made the people's resentment boiling, recruited the beauties of the world, and made people panic in women's families everywhere. Moreover, after ascending to the throne for several years, he began to exclude dissidents on a large scale, persecuting good ministers and loyal people, forcing everyone in the courtiers to put themselves in danger, and secretly preparing to rise up.
Especially in the country, this urine is chaotic, he still doesn't stop, he doesn't work the contrary, the temperament of great joy is becoming more and more obvious.
The most typical example is that in the case of domestic instability, there was also a large number of troops to conquer Goryeo without success, making the treasury empty, and how many good sons of the Great Sui were buried on the land of Gaoli sticks.
Even Chairman Chiang knew that if you want to go outside, you must first settle inside, but he did the opposite.
It is really rare in history for a loser to lose to this extent.
Not to mention that the Great Sui has only been in his hands for twenty years, no matter how much the rule of the emperor left by his father Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian, he can't help but make it like this.
No, a good Sui Dynasty fell apart after only ten years in his hands, and smoke rose all over the country, and it was finally replaced by the Li Tang Dynasty.
He didn't get a good end himself, and was forced to hang himself by his most trusted son of Yuchen Yu Wenshu, the second best Hanyu culture in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
ended up dying in another country, and there was not even a coffin.
It is said that Empress Xiao, who is now in the Eastern Turks, and some eunuchs and palace maids removed the bed board and made a small coffin for him, barely making do with it before he could enter the ground.
A generation of emperors ended up like this, which is sad and lamentable.
After his death, Li Yuan ascended the throne as emperor and established the Tang Dynasty.
And his descendants of the Yang family, the Great Sui royal family are naturally cunning rabbits to death, lackeys to cook, and if they are lucky, they can also become the monkeys that disperse before the tree falls.
His empress Xiao and grandson Yang Zhengdao were welcomed to the Eastern Turks by the Eastern Turkic Chuluo Khan (now the father of the Eastern Turkic Jieli Khan), and handed over the Central Plains people in the Eastern Turkic territory to the two grandparents to govern, establishing the last Great Sui Dynasty, known as the Later Sui Dynasty in history, and Yang Zhengdao was named the King of Sui. In fact, it is just a puppet of the Turks.
Guo Ye pouted, and said in his heart, in a few days, it is estimated that Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao, the king of Sui, will also be escorted into Chang'an with the demise of the Eastern Turks.
Now that Zhenguan has been in the past four years, it has only been ten years since the death of Sui, and everyone present will naturally not feel strange.
Now I hear that there are ready-made remnants of the Sui Dynasty occupying Ali Tucheng for a long time, and I am naturally too excited.
What does this mean?
It represents a great merit.
No, Kang Bao was already impatiently shouting: "Think about a ball, brother." You must know that it is the remnants of the Sui Dynasty who occupy Ali Tucheng now, and if the surname is Yang, it should be a descendant of the royal family of the Yang clan of the remnants of the Sui Dynasty, how can you just let go of this great achievement and miss it in vain? β
In order to attract Guo Ye's attention, Kang Bao pushed the Guan Jiu next to Guo Ye away, stepped forward by himself, and counted with his fingers: "Brother will pull it for you, now Ali Tucheng is on the border of the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, since it is occupied by the remnants of the Sui Dynasty, it means that it is a three-way zone." As long as you capture Alitu City and pay tribute to His Majesty the Emperor of Chang'an, haha, the credit for opening up the territory is indispensable, right? β
Speaking of this, he swallowed his saliva and continued to pull his fingers and said, "Second, you arrested the descendants of the Yang royal family, do you know what this means?" His Majesty the Emperor is now afraid of the neighbors surrounding my Tang Frontier, so he should suppress the potential turmoil in the country, right? There are two hidden worries in this country, one is the remnants of the former prince Li Jiancheng in various places, and the other is the remnants of the former Sui Dynasty. This, this, the ready-made great merit of the descendants of the Yang royal family of Ali Tucheng is in front of you, how can you not earn it? β
Guo Ye understands Kang Bao's meaning, and also understands the reason why he is anxious, whether it is to open up territory for the Tang Dynasty, or to successfully capture the descendants of the former Sui royal family, it is a great achievement.
Not to mention Kang Bao, even he himself was already tempted by listening to the analysis.
At this time, Zhu Fatzi also pushed the Guan dove in front of him away, jumped up and shouted: "Little brother, you must know that the descendants of the Yang family in Ali Tucheng have their own horse farm. In these years, war horses are more expensive than gold, if we can take this horse farm for ourselves, hehe, it's gone, it's really big. β
Racecourse!
Guo Ye still remembers this incident vividly, the Tang army is now fighting abroad, and what it lacks is war horses.
A Northwest war horse is in the market of the Central Plains, it is priceless, not to mention the things that various families in the Central Plains are vying to buy, and even the Tang Dynasty will buy the war horse at all high prices.
During the war years, war horses were comparable to gold, and this statement was not adulterated in the slightest.
If you have your own horse farm, it is equivalent to having one, no, ten, hundred hens that lay golden eggs.
Moreover, if I have a horse farm in my hands and can provide a steady stream of war horses for myself, then perhaps, I, Guo Ye, can also have my own cavalry.
When the future comes, his heart will never be at peace.
Guo Ye, too.
Just when Guo Ye was tempted, Guan Jiu Gu stepped forward and said: "Lord Bingsi, this Alitu City is as big as Longxi County, who knows if he has other cities to rely on?" Besides, we don't know how many troops they have, do we? If you delay the time to go north to the Turks in order to capture Alitu City, when the time comes, won't it ruin the plan in your heart. β
Go north to the Turks to get credit?
Guo Ye weighed the two, if according to the analysis of Kang Bao and Zhu Fatzi, then compared with the Northern Turks, isn't it more chicken than chicken ribs?
It is true that capturing Jieli Khan can make himself famous in the world, and maybe he can even meet His Majesty Li Er.
However, compared to the capture of Alitu City, the benefits in this are very few.
Ali Tucheng has a city and a horse farm, what does Jieli Khan have?
At that time, maybe His Majesty Li Er will give himself an idle official position at will, and let him go to which Qingshui Yamen to eat and wait for death, then the gains will outweigh the losses.
Besides, just take Ali Tucheng, open up the territory for the Tang Dynasty, expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty a little more, and open it at the junction with Tubo, hehe, this credit is not big, but it is not small.
After weighing the pros and cons like this, Guo Ye already had the answer, chuckled at Guan Jiujiu, and said: "People are not as good as heaven, and plans can never catch up with the rapid changes." Do you think it's my style to give up the fat to my mouth? β
"Uh......"
Guan Jiu was speechless for a while, listening to Guo Ye's meaning, he obviously had a choice.
He is a smart man, and he has always adhered to the principle that Lord Guo said that the east is the east and the west is the west.
Now that Master Guo has a decision in his heart, of course he, a smart man, knows how to see the wind and change the rudder, so he immediately nodded and praised: "Lord Bingsi is reasonable, and the students are convinced." β
The ability to slap the horse, Guan Dove dares to admit the second, and no one dares to admit the first.
Even Zhu Fatzi didn't dare to confront him, who let the family study.
At most, Fat Zhu pursed his lips with disdain and muttered: "Phew, sycophant." β
Seeing that Guo Ye had made up his mind to take Ali Tucheng first, everyone naturally nodded happily.
Kang Bao asked, "Brother, can you do it now?" Or take advantage of the night, let's launch a surprise attack and him. β
Guo Ye shook his head indifferently and said: "It is estimated that as early as the opportunity of the horse thieves to attack the city, someone in the city had already sent a letter to the general surnamed Yang, obviously, the reinforcements will be able to rush back from the horse farm in a while." β
"And."
Guo Ye paused and said: "Now the brothers are tired and tired, and now they are rash to attack the city, not to mention that our three thousand sons can't hold it, even if we can hold it, it's unwise for us to act rashly without perfect deployment." Anyway, the defenders of the city were already frightened, and the guards must have begun to tighten. Let's make a better plan tomorrow and then decide how to capture Alitu City. β
Kang Bao listened to Guo Ye's shrewd analysis, and was not unconvinced, and said in his heart, Brother Guo thought it through, no wonder my old man asked me to listen to his orders on this trip.
Guan Jiu, who was in a hurry to behave, asked stupidly: "What, Lord Bingsi, what should we do now?" β
"Haha, people as shrewd as you also have rare times when they are confused, it seems that you are also tired!"
Guo Ye couldn't help but make fun of Guan Jiu, and then commanded everyone: "Rest in place first, where is Erniu?" β
Cheng Erniu hurriedly shouted: "Here, here, little brother, it's always there." β
Guo Ye bowed slightly, and ordered: "You take your scout and explore the horse, search within a radius of one mile, and find me a piece of high ground, where I will set up camp and face Ali Tucheng from afar!" β
Cheng Erniu didn't give in, clenched his fists and shouted in a deep voice: "Get the order!" β
After that, he turned around and walked away quietly, but he also had the demeanor of a general. , the home of reading! Unique URL:
