Chapter 708

The small court of Goguryeo was shocked when they learned that there was such a "hero" in their country. They didn't believe it was true. Some of the things the agent said fit.

Goguryeo has spies in Chang'an, but these spies can't investigate any relatively high-level secrets. For them, what the King Wu of the Tang Dynasty looked like, or what kind of clothes the prince of the Tang Dynasty wore, What kind of chariots and horses they are riding, it is already the limit to discover these "secrets", and it is impossible for them to discover anything more valuable!
But these superficial things are exactly known by Pu Junnan. When he was in Wu Wangfu, he was in charge of raising horses. He didn't know anything about Li Ke's back house, but Li Ke's travel equipment, these so-called details He knew it all too well, and even described the characteristics of Li Ke's mount in great detail, and he had even ridden it... This is not just a claim, but a fact!

With such a statement, the small court of Goguryeo was naturally very surprised. Never would have thought that Pu Junnan really knew the royal family of the Tang Dynasty!Pu Junnan also said that his archery skills shocked all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and he demonstrated it in front of Goguryeo's monarchs and ministers. He also said that he took the risk of shooting the king of Wu. Send someone to check!
For such an important matter, how could the small court just listen to Pu Junnan's one-sided words, and immediately sent people to Qingzhou to investigate. It happened that Li Ke was very depressed during that time, and Qingzhou's various versions of rumors about the prince and King Wu The rumors were flying all over the sky, ten times more outrageous than what Pu Junnan said.

After such an investigation, it is impossible to find the real results. The spies couldn't figure out the truth, so they had to go back to Goguryeo, tell all the various versions, and report to the small court!

After a thorough analysis, the little imperial court was overjoyed. Although they knew that Park Junnan’s words must contain water, the fact that he shot and wounded Li Ke should not be fake, because there were rumors in Gyeongju that the person who shot and wounded King Wu , a slave of Goguryeo... This is definitely a slander, they hate Goguryeo for shooting King Wu, so they don't admit the fact that Pu Junnan almost became a son-in-law, and just slander him as a slave!

Goguryeo has been conquered by the Central Empire for a long time, and it has gradually declined from a regional power.At this time, Goguryeo really needs a hero to inspire the army and the people, so that everyone has the confidence to fight against the Tang Dynasty, and is sure that Goguryeo will not perish or be wiped out. They still have hope!

In this way, it hit it off, and the small court of Goguryeo made a decision to publicize Park Junnan’s heroic deeds in Goguryeo. There is no lecture tour in these years, otherwise Park Junnan would have to give a speech all over Goguryeo, but the government took the lead. Rumor has it that this effect is no worse than that of a speech, and the more it spreads, the more miraculous it becomes!
Pu Junnan was said to be an egg conceived by a goddess, and was thrown in the wild. The beasts did not eat it, and the birds cared for him. In the end, the handsome man broke out of his shell. Possesses archery skills that shocked the world... When he was an adult, when he fought against the Tang army, he single-handedly fought against tens of thousands of Tang troops. In the end, he was favored by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The handsome man refused...

In countless imaginations, Pu Junnan became the national hero of Goguryeo!

It is impossible for the small court of Goguryeo to give up such a great opportunity. They can't find out the secrets of the top officials of the Tang Dynasty. It's different, you have to make good use of it.

After spending countless efforts, the monarchs and ministers of the small court made a perfect plan and decided to support Li Ke, let Li Ke go against the prince Li Zhi, make the Tang Dynasty a mess, and then Goguryeo profited from it!
Pu Junnan personally led the people back to Gyeongju. After lurking for a short time, he finally found an opportunity. While Li Ke was hunting and was sad alone in the woods, he contacted him. King Wu was a thousand years old, and then he said his intention.

At that time, Li Ke was beaten so badly by Li Zhi and Wang Ping'an that he lost confidence. He knew very well that it was impossible to become the prince and then the emperor with his own strength.It just so happened that the people of Goguryeo came to their door on their own initiative, expressing their willingness to borrow troops to help Li Ke ascend to the throne of God, but only asked him not to attack Goguryeo after he became emperor.

Of course, Li Ke agreed to such a small request. As for being shot by Park Junnan, this small festival is not worth mentioning. Who can care about such a big thing!After Pu Junnan took out the letter written by the King of Goguryeo, Li Ke hesitated for a while, and finally made a decision to cooperate with the Goguryeo people!

People in the early Tang Dynasty were heavily influenced by the former Sui Dynasty. Almost all people with some ambitions in their hearts believed in one thing, that is, fame and fame can be obtained immediately. In modern terms, only those who dare to fight will win!

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty ascended to the throne by force, Emperor Yang of Sui ascended to the throne by force, Emperor Gaozu of Tang ascended to the throne by force, and today's emperor Li Shimin ascended to the throne by force. There were only a few decades between them. These are role models!

Li Ke relies on force, why can't he ascend the throne?This kind of thinking is natural. Not only Li Ke would have this kind of thinking, but even those people in the prosperous and late Tang Dynasty, as long as they had a little force in their hands, they all thought this way. This kind of thinking did not exist until the establishment of the Song Dynasty. It's changed, and it's still going on!
Ever since, Li Ke fell in love with Goguryeo's singing and dancing, and there was a large group of Goguryeo people around him.And the plans made by these Goguryeo people are indeed stronger than those of his previous staff.People are more dead than others, and goods are thrown away. If Li Ke did not have those useless staff before, maybe he would not be able to trust the Goguryeo people so quickly, but those staff before him are too useless. Once there is a comparison, Li Ke Ke felt that the plan made by the Goguryeo people was quite reliable!

First manage Yingzhou, then annex Youzhou, and then plan for Tuyuan. This is the plan that the Goguryeo people made for Li Ke, step by step, and fight steadily!

That's why Li Ke kept a low profile, became fat, and asked Wang Ping'an to help him plead for Changsun Wuji to change the fiefdom.Although this big conspiracy seems dangerous, the Goguryeo people guarantee that it will succeed!

Of course, Li Ke kept a back hand. If he fails to raise an army, he can claim to be coerced by Goguryeo soldiers. He is innocent. Who made Yingzhou so close to Goguryeo? He was coerced by Goguryeo people. Also within reason.

As for the Goguryeo people, they don't care about anything. Anyway, the two countries are fighting like this. No matter how bad the situation is, they will just continue to fight. They have already reached this point. What do they care about? There is nothing to care about!

Such a thing is tortuous to say, but for Wang Pingan, he can understand the reason after thinking a little bit, and he sighs in his heart. Power is really a glass of poisonous wine. Not only Wu Meiniang abandoned his own daughter for it, but even Li Ke If you want to borrow troops from Goguryeo, you are poisoned!
Wang Ping'an and Qiu Tingxuan left the conservatory and the back house. The two walked silently without speaking. They walked out of Maling County and came to the edge of a small forest. They stopped to rest.

Each sat on a big rock, Qiu Tingxuan sighed first, and said softly: "Mr. Wuji has never been a soft-hearted person. If King Wu continues to make trouble like this, I'm afraid he will really get rid of King Wu for the prince!"

Wang Pingan hummed, and after a while, he said, "Actually, I don't have any prejudice against King Wu. On the contrary, I still don't want to see him die."

Qiu Tingxuan said: "I understand, I can see it. If King Wu stays in Chang'an all the time, right under Mr. Wuji's nose, I'm afraid the grievances will become deeper and Mr. Wuji will find an excuse to kill King Wu sooner or later." , even if this court cannot kill him, but the grievances have accumulated for a long time, after the crown prince ascends the throne, Duke Wuji will strike."

Wang Pingan glanced at Qiu Tingxuan, and thought: "As expected of being the son of a great Confucian in the world, he is still very far-sighted when looking at problems. Li Ke was not long after Li Zhi ascended the throne, and the court was completely decided by his eldest grandson Wuji. Did Wuji kill him, he didn't expect it at all."

Wang Pingan nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I'm worried about. Although I never said it clearly, I have been helping the prince to suppress King Wu. In fact, I really don't want King Wu to die when he is young."

Qiu Tingxuan said: "No disease, you used tricks to transfer King Wu away from Chang'an, and after you came to Qingzhou, you suppressed it with all your strength. Although the current King Wu seems to be in a mess, in fact there is no danger of his life. , Mr. Wuji will look down on him more, and will no longer think of ways to punish him. Although you suppressed Wubing ruthlessly, you never aimed at hurting King Wu's life. This is completely different from Mr. Wuji of!"

Wang Ping'an snorted, and said: "Who can tell what is so far away, I guess King Wu still hates me now!"

Qiu Tingxuan shook his head and said: "It's because he can't see the situation clearly, can't distinguish the seriousness from the seriousness, that's why he has been defeated repeatedly. It's nothing if he miscalculated you, but he miscalculated Mr. Wuji, then his life... these words, It's really not what we should say!"

Wang Pingan sighed, and said: "It doesn't matter if you fight and lose repeatedly, but he has been defeated and fought again and again. Perseverance is a good character, and it can be used in fighting for power and profit. I'm afraid... Sigh. Brother Qiu, you said Wuji Guild agreed to change What about the seal? He can see it, and the emperor should also be able to see it, right?"

Qiu Tingxuan said: "It depends on what Lord Wuji has to say about this kind of thing. As I expected, the change of title will definitely come true. King Wu has already expected this."

Wang Pingan raised his eyebrows, he naturally understood the meaning of Qiu Tingxuan's words.If Li Ke directly asked Li Shimin to change his title, Li Shimin would definitely not agree, but he could ask for a change of title through the mouth of his political opponents, then Changsun Wuji would find a way to make it happen.Although Li Ke took the risk and gave Changsun Wuji the chance to kill him, he also got the opportunity to develop himself, and it is very likely that he will get the chance to kill Changsun Wuji and Li Zhi!
The greater the risk, the greater the benefit. This is not only understood by modern people, but also by ancient people.Both Changsun Wuji and Li Ke are willing to take this risk, either you die or I die!
The two sat opposite each other for a long while, and Wang Ping'an asked, "If this matter happens, how long will it take for the war to break out?"

Qiu Tingxuan heheed, and said: "Let's pray for the emperor to live forever, as long as the old man is around, there will be no war."

Wang Pingan nodded. If Li Ke wanted to launch a war, it would most likely be similar to the Jingnan Battle in the Ming Dynasty, and it would be launched when Li Zhi had just ascended the throne.

Coincidentally, Zhu Yunwen also knew at the time that Zhu Di was going to rebel, and now Li Zhi and Changsun Wuji also knew that Li Ke would not stop, and Li Ke was going to Yingzhou and would definitely annex Youzhou. Same.When Zhu Di went to war, he relied on Mongolian soldiers to fight forward, while he relied on Goguryeo soldiers to fight forward, and it was exactly the same!
The history is surprisingly similar!
Wang Ping'an whispered: "King Wu will not succeed. He has already failed before making this plan. He doesn't know it, but I know it!" Ke's first confidant has betrayed, and he still expects to win like Zhu Di, that is really a dream.

Qiu Tingxuan said: "That's right, King Wu's opponent will be you without illness, of course he will fail, Brother Yu firmly believes in this point!" After finishing speaking, he stood up, said nothing more, and clasped fists at Wang Ping'an , turned back to Maling County.

Looking at Qiu Tingxuan's back, Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "What do you mean King Wu's opponent is me? It should be Changsun Wuji, or the famous general sent by Li Zhi... that famous general, can't it be me?"

When he thought of this, his heart ached. He was too "outstanding" and brave when he was in Turkic, and when the teacher returned to the court, he even rode a bull to praise his martial arts on Chang'an Avenue. In this way, he already has the reputation of a famous general in the hearts of the people of Tang Dynasty. If there is a war with Goguryeo in the future, maybe he will really send himself there!
Fighting Goguryeo is not the same as fighting Turks.He was able to pacify the Turks, which was at the right time and place. In the winter, the Turks encountered civil strife. It was not so much to fight the Turks, but to settle the Turkic refugees. Only in this way could victory be won.

But Goguryeo is different. It is a country that has been at war for a long time, and there is no civil strife. The army that can be used is more than 20. In terms of long-term combat, it is much more resilient than Turks!
Wang Pingan stood by the edge of the grove for a long time, thinking: "Is it possible that the task of destroying Goguryeo is going to be entrusted to me? Oh, it's really terrible. The thing I don't like the most is fighting!"

He asked the guards to lead the horse, turned on the mount, and thought: "Who is the one who destroyed Goguryeo? Is it Li Ji or Su Dingfang? I can't remember. But I know the person who made the battle plan." Yes, that's Wu Meiniang! Alas, I really didn't expect that Wu Meiniang is not only good at palace fighting, but also good at sending troops to fight!"

Riding back to Gyeongju, I will go to ask Wu Meiniang for advice now. It is estimated that there will be nothing to ask. Goguryeo, what should I do?
