Chapter 57: A Thousand Miles and a Good Horse

The inn is an official inn, with two-story buildings for living. There is a small courtyard in front. On the side of the courtyard against the wall is a stable, which feeds horses riding by officials.

Dozens of best Liaodong war horses were neighing at this moment, and the post station was already in panic. The old postmaster was killed by Wang Junkuo's troops in shock. The clamoring postmaster could not escape, and was slashed by Wang Junkuo who was discovered.

The middle-aged scholar opened the railings of the stables in a little embarrassed manner, moved out of the horse's barracks, flipped them a few times before getting on the horse's back, bowed to Wang Junguo, "Duke, if you say too much, you will lose your mistake. Now, there are soldiers stationed at the post station that if you still don't leave, you may be surrounded and suppressed."

Wang Junguo was so angry that he was crying and secretly hated why he spoke without saying anything. He was heard by the little postman outside the door. It was so good to be a prince who lived with the country in the Tang Dynasty. He ate delicacies and drank fine wines.

But everything was over. He only hoped to escape back to his Youzhou base camp. He shouted to the twenty or thirty cavalry surrounded by: "The Emperor of Tang wants to punish us for looting southern Jin Dynasty. You have beautiful houses in Youzhou, fertile fields, and children on the warm kang. But the Emperor of Tang wants to take away all this. To put it nicely, exiled to Qiongzhou. It sounds bad. To be honest, you and my head will be hung on the city wall in the west city of Chang'an tomorrow!"

Wang Junkuo thought he was capable of getting to the point of being able to match a goldfish bag and wearing a purple purple. These dozens of corpses were all thieves who followed him back then. They were vicious and had no loyalty at all, but one thing made Wang Junkuo think was worth using them.

That's just that, it's easy to coax, but it's all honest farmers who were hungry and went up the mountain to become bandits.

People who have never read books generally have short-sighted eyes. When they heard the governor of Youzhou, who had always been prestigious in their hearts, say this, they naturally believed it without doubt, and raised their horse lances and shouted with swords: "We swear to protect the Duke of the Kingdom of Death to the death."

The middle-aged scholar also rode his horse to Wang Junkuo and analyzed: "The most urgent thing for the Duke of the State is to return to Youzhou as soon as possible. There are tens of thousands of private soldiers trained by the Duke of the State in Youzhou. You can occupy the land of Youyun when you retreat, and you can retreat to Eastern Turks and Goguryeo.

However, Weinan is in the heart of Guanzhong, only half a day away from Chang'an. At that time, the Dog Emperor issued an order to block the various levels of Guanzhong, and we will be caught in a jar."

"What do you think sir?" Wang Junguo asked.

A smile appeared on the middle-aged scholar's face, as if he was holding the think tank easily and appropriately, just a feather fan was enough to be used as Zhuge Kongming. He pointed to the west and said, "Longxi has always been robbed by the Turks. This autumn, the Turkic people drank the Ma Wei River and signed the Wei River alliance with the Dog Emperor. The Turkic forces have invaded Longxi. Our way of life is in the west! Borrowing the Turkic route back to Youzhou!"

Wang Junguo nodded deeply and agreed. This statement made him feel very heartbroken. Walking eastward is undoubtedly a dead end, and walking westward has a chance to survive.

"Listen to Mr. Zhu, go west!" He turned the railway firmly.

......

After a while, the Weinan County Magistrate led the civilians and the county soldiers to rush to the post station, but the post station had already left empty, leaving only a dozen dead bodies...

"Oh, Liu Yicheng died so miserably. His eldest wife gave birth to a child yesterday. Unfortunately, she died just like that before she held her grandson."

"It's useless to say more. Who knows that Duke Peng will rebel in the peace of Langlang?"

......

The rebellion of Wang Junkuo of Pengguo was not only incredible to the officials from all over Weinan County, but also caused considerable waves when it reached Chang'an.

Wang Junguo's title is Duke Peng, and he is the founding Duke who is at the same time as the country. As for the princes, the King of Qin is the exclusive of the royal family. Generally, the Duke of the Kingdom is the top of the title. Not to mention that two months ago, he just became the official of the Zuo Guanglu Dafu, and was the next-rank.

His Majesty the Emperor was furious. The shame that Wang Junkuo brought to him was no less than that of Jie Li Khan. He could happily accept surrender in Luoyang City, which did not mean that he could tolerate rebellion!

New Year's Day is in more than a month, and the first year of Zhenguan is coming. The people who are already rumored may be even more controversial.

If you kill your brother with your brother, you will be incorrect in your position!

"Peng Guo Duke Wang Junkuo is very brave. He actually dared to rebel privately and killed the postmaster to escape." Li Shimin laughed furiously in Liangyi Hall.

He stared at the people in the court. The civil and military ministers not only had the lineage of the Qin Palace in the past, but also formed a party... Feng Deyi and Xiao Yu were fence-bearers, so they must not be convinced. However, in order to block the people's mouths, he must also use them, otherwise the old party members would be panic and worried that they would also be removed from their official positions one day.

"One day, one day, I will let the people and officials of the court see... I am the most suitable person to ascend the throne."

Within the world, only the emperor's land!

"Where is Yuchi Gong?" Li Shimin stood up and slapped the table and shouted.

A strong man walked out of the military officer train, with a black charcoal face and a tangled muscle. He was wearing a military officer uniform and a tablet on his waist. He knelt on the ground and shouted, "My minister, Yuchi Gong, see Your Majesty."

"I ordered you to bring up a thousand imperial guards and issue an edict to let the county governments in various places cooperate and will arrest the traitor!" Li Shimin first gritted his teeth, and then said in a soothing tone: "Jingde, do you have confidence? Wang Junguo once led thirteen cavalry to Hulao Pass to defeat Wang Shichong, but you have also seized the head of the general among the ten thousand people."

Yuchi Gong grinned, revealing two rows of yellow teeth, and said, "Wang Junkuo is a villain. Hulao Pass is a big shot. I will definitely bring Wang Junkuo's head to meet His Majesty."

"Good, great kindness!" Li Shimin laughed loudly, "I thought it hurts when I lost a good horse. I never thought that there was a thousand-mile horse around me. So what if I lost a good horse? A good horse is only a dozen coins in the western market, and it is not worth a thousand-mile horse and a thousand-mile horse bones!"

.........

At this time, at the foot of Cuihua Mountain, the little eunuch Liu Yuan was anxiously staring at the driver sitting in front of the carriage. The winding mountain road was too steep.

Yesterday, he went to Jingyang County under the will of the Supreme Emperor. One was to send three Yellow River carp to Huaping's home, and the other was to find out why Huaping's overdue.

But this investigation made him feel much more shocked.

It turned out that Huaping had a marriage contract when she was young, but because of the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the family was not allowed to sell Huaping to Yazi. In the end, she became a maid in the Qin Palace.

The engagement was also invalidated by the tacit understanding between the two families.

After returning home from Huaping Ping, because of her outstanding appearance, she was like a tall white swan in front of a group of country women, not to mention her true rank as a fifth-rank female historical identity, which made her even more honorable.
