Chapter 429 "Everyone Loves" Wu's Son
"Huh! Is this the land of Liaodong? We are waiting to make contributions, and this is the time!"

At the mouth of the Xiongjin River, a group of people rushed down from the boat, led by Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi.

Perhaps because of the background honed in Lingnan, Wu's son who came here this time is generally in good health. Whether it is the bumps of the boat or the adaptation to Liaodong, he is faster than ordinary people.

In comparison, the people who got off the other boat looked more embarrassed, shaking their heads, their legs were weak, and some even fell on the ground, gasping for breath.

But looking at Li Jingye, who barely stood upright, being guarded by a group of attendants, Wu Chengsi sneered disdainfully: "This British Duke is not as good as us, and wants to fight the enemy?"

Wu Sansi shrank his head, a little scared: "Brother, are we really going to the battlefield?"

Wu Chengsi was full of confidence: "Why are you panicking? If this battle is dangerous, do you think those nobles from Guanzhong will rush over here? It is precisely because the victory is certain that they are all transferred here. We will follow behind How happy will my aunt be when I get some credit?"

Wu Sansi hadn't seen Empress Wu for a long time, and his thoughts had already faded away, but seeing Wu Chengsi's gradually majestic appearance, his desire was aroused again, and he nodded again and again: "Okay! Okay!"

Wu Chengsi walked forward, had just walked a few steps, suddenly thought of something, took out a volume of "Thousand Characters" from his backpack, and held it in his hand: "Let's go!"

Recently, there have been many false rumors in Beijing, slandering him for his "Shuowen Teachings", and now he has to prove it to others. He clearly read "Thousand Characters"!
Even if others come to take the exam, he is not afraid, he is studying very seriously!
To Wu Chengsi's disappointment, the Liaodong soldiers he saw along the way walked in a hurry, obviously not in the mood to discern his education level.

To Wu Chengsi's delight, there was an acquaintance waiting outside the Dudu's mansion.

When Wu Chengsi saw him, he couldn't help stepping forward: "Captain Guo!"

Guo Yuanzhen greeted him and saluted, "Duke Zhou, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Wu Chengsi was flattered, but he couldn't help feeling jealous.

Although this is the sixth-rank school lieutenant and he is a first-rank Duke, there is a huge gap in power between the two.

As Li Yuanfang's confidant, Guo Yuanzhen is also a capable internal guard. If the war of annihilating the country goes well and the timing of promotion is logical, he will be the second youngest fifth-rank official in the court by then, with a bright future.

In comparison, he has the name of a prince and has no real power at all. He is obviously the empress dowager's nephew, so he has to laugh at him.

Guo Yuanzhen took a panoramic view of his unnatural expression, confirmed that Wu's son hadn't changed at all, and smiled even more: "I have arranged your residence, please!"

Zhu Wu followed, without any hope in his heart.

What they saw on the road, they frowned secretly at the dilapidated environment here. After all, they were used to living in the mansions in the two capitals before, and suddenly came to this place, as if they had returned to the Lingnan period. It was difficult to change from extravagance to frugality.

But when they arrived at the mansion arranged by Guo Yuanzhen, they realized that it seemed to be the best place to live near the governor's mansion, and there were many servants coming in and out to clean it, obviously not casually.

Wu Chengsi was very pleasantly surprised: "Thank you Captain Guo!"

Guo Yuanzhen smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou is too polite, this is what should be done..."

He checked it himself again and made sure there was nothing missing, then he cupped his hands and said, "Duke Zhou is in command of Bian Guogong's mansion. I hope we can cooperate tacitly in Liaodong. I'm busy with business, so I'll take my leave first. If necessary, Please come and find me."

"Good! Good!"

Wu Chengsi was highly praised, watched Guo Yuanzhen's leaving back, and said to his brothers: "See if you do, this is the treatment of meritorious ministers, you also learn from me, work hard, and revitalize the Wu family!"

The disciples of the Wu family responded irregularly: "Understand!"

However, in the next few days, they discovered that Guo Yuanzhen's attitude was just a special case.

When the other courtiers saw this group of sneaky people, they still avoided them one after another. When they asked the low-level soldiers, they all responded blankly. They quickly returned to the point where their grandma didn't love their uncle or uncle.

Until the British prince Li Jingye came to the door.

……

Just when Wu's son was arranged by Guo Yuanzhen to a good residence, Li Jingye also came to his courtyard, looking at this remote house very dissatisfied, with a gloomy face.

His current life is very difficult. It may not be possible to say that everyone has betrayed relatives, but he has also lost most of the personal connections he had previously managed.

When he learned that he could come to Liaodong, Li Jingye hesitated. He knew that he really wanted to agree. Those Guanzhong children who gathered in the mansion, and Li Shoujie, who is now lying half dead in the mansion of Danyang County, turned against him at the plenum. .

But after weighing the pros and cons, he still decided to come.

Because after this incident, he realized that Guan Zhong Xungui was really declining more and more, and he couldn't please himself by mixing with them, so he might as well follow Li Yuanfang's example.

Why is Li Yuanfang so trusted by saints?Isn't it because he doesn't associate with those aristocratic families, and his subordinates are all talented people from poor families!
Li Jingye also wanted to take this opportunity to sever ties with the disciples of Guanzhong, and then make meritorious deeds by destroying Silla. In the future, he would inherit the glory of his grandfather and serve as the third division of Kaifu Yitong.

But that being said, when all the former friends ran away one after another, and the road was deserted, the British Duke felt extremely uncomfortable, and even felt a sense of hesitation.

If he can't make enough contributions in Silla and won't be appreciated by the saints, wouldn't it mean that he is not pleased at both ends, and both ends are in vain?
Standing in front of the courtyard, Li Jingye was in a daze for a while, until a familiar voice came from behind: "Da Lang?"

He looked back and saw Li Jixiu standing behind him, he was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed: "Maozhi! Come! Come in and sit down!"

The two were just ordinary friends before, not very close, but seeing Li Jixiu at this time, Li Jingye really had a sense of surprise of meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land. He pulled his sleeve all the way, sat down affectionately, and even handed him a glass of wine. Buttermilk: "Maozhi came to Liaodong early, thank you for your hard work!"

Li Jixiu thanked him for taking it, and after taking a few sips of tea, he felt a little greasy, put down the cup and said, "It's bitter cold here, I was seriously ill before, Da Lang should also pay attention!"

Li Jingye nodded: "Thank you Maozhi for your concern. This is a great opportunity to make contributions. I can't be absent due to illness."

Li Jixiu's eyes flashed, and he just started the topic: "Dalang came at the right time. In the past, the old Duke destroyed Goryeo and Xunshuchu's mansion. Now Dalang is destroying Silla. His prestige is extraordinary. It is passed down by the door like a wind. Now, it’s a good story!”

Li Jingye was very relieved, and immediately asked: "How is the situation in Liaodong now?"

Li Jiongxiu said: "The inner guards have basically figured out the situation of senior officials in Silla. Among them, those who have a heart for my Tang Dynasty, those who fight for power with the King of Silla, and mediocre people who are not worthy of their names, are all nothing to worry about!"

"What's even more ridiculous is that the king of Silla spread rumors that the royal family of Goryeo and them all belonged to the same origin, and that Baekje also belonged to Sanhan. It's so easy!"

"It's a pity that Captain Guo was timid and forcibly restrained us..."

After all, Li Jingye is Li Ji's grandson. It is impossible to say that if you give me [-] elite soldiers, I can destroy Silla. After hearing what Guo Yuanzhen did, he nodded slightly and said: "What Guo Xiaowei did , but it is an old and prudent move, my grandfather has repeatedly warned me, when using soldiers, think about defeat before thinking about victory, be cautious and cautious, and don't be careless in the slightest!"

Li Jixiu looked at him carefully, leaned forward, leaned over and said in a low voice: "Da Lang, my credit for waiting will be hindered by this old-fashioned prudence!"

Li Jingye's pupils shrank slightly, and he fell silent.

The honored children all received the highest education. They may have flaws in their character, but they are not unclear deep down. Now the internal guards are adopting the most stable tactics. If they continue to fight like this, they will definitely be able to fight at the lowest cost. Get the ultimate victory.

But the problem is that, according to this method, step by step, flattening in one wave, the contribution they can make is extremely limited.

When personal merit and national merit conflict, how to choose?

When Li Jixiu saw that he was silent instead of scolding him, he felt confident, and he spoke more directly: "Now that our Great Tang Dynasty conquers the world, there are not many foreign wars. If Silla is destroyed, there will still be conflicts with Tubo." Compared with Tubo, which once defeated the Tang army, Silla must be easier to deal with."

"This battle is bound to be won, and those small countries don't need to be so cautious. They should let us each lead the army, conquer the city, and make meritorious deeds. Now that the inner guards are blocking it, it is too selfish to show their capabilities! "

"It's God's help for Dalang to come here. May only Dalang follow suit!"

Li Jingye shook his head and said: "It's unwise for you to act like this. It's really unwise. If you win, it's okay. If you lose, you lose your troops and lose your generals. That's a serious crime. Who can bear it?"

"How could you lose?"

Li Jixiu was a little disdainful, and there was a half-smile on his face: "Could it be that Da Lang is really afraid of the internal guards like a tiger after being imprisoned once?"

Li Jingye couldn't hear these words the most, and his face sank: "If I was afraid of the inner guards, why would I come here? Then Li Yuanfang didn't dare to do anything to me, why didn't he let me out all the time?"

Li Jixiu nodded hurriedly: "Ah, yes, it is because Da Lang is a British citizen and is different from us, why don't we beg you to come forward to make decisions? Could it be that Da Lang is willing to miss this great opportunity and watch Xin Xin from the sidelines the whole time?" Luo died?"

Li Jingye was moved by the talk, but after thinking about it, he still didn't dare to confront the inner guard head-on. He suddenly frowned, thinking of the idiot who was sitting in the same boat, and showed a wise smile: "Forget it, I'm I’m willing to speak for you, but I can’t do it alone, and I need a Duke to come forward, so that this matter will be safe!”
