Yang Chong is a soft bone, Zhang Sanzheng was slightly frightened, and he immediately obediently complied and promised to help the Han army persuade the defenders of Yangping Pass.

However, Yang Chong was not too stupid, he insisted on meeting Li Zhongyi in person.

After Li Zhongyi got the report, he couldn't help but smile slightly: "Yang Chong, a ghost who is afraid of death, is a little clever, isn't he afraid that I will lose my trust to him in the future?" ”

Zhang Sanzheng said with a smile: "Your Majesty, your promise, who doesn't know, who doesn't know?" The subordinate has never seen what you said, and there are cases where it doesn't count. ”

Li Zhongyi couldn't help laughing, he knew that this was Zhang Sanzheng's sycophancy, but he still laughed happily.

In addition to being loyal to the Lord, those who are courtiers must also master the ability to make fun. Not for anything else, just to have fun and relax the atmosphere.

Many things, said with a straight face, and half-jokingly, have an essential difference in effect.

After laughing, Li Zhongyi instructed Zhang Sanzheng: "Bring Yang Chong to see me." ”

With little effort, Yang Chong was led into the inner study. After entering the door, he didn't dare to raise his head at all, and before he could see Li Zhongyi's appearance behind the bookcase, he already knelt on his knees and said in a trembling voice: "Sinner Yang Chong, meet the emperor." ”

Li Zhongyi didn't squeak, his eyes kept staring at the official document on the desktop, and he didn't even raise his eyelids.

The current situation is actually very clear, since Yang Chong is a soft bone, he must give it to him, and Li Zhongyi doesn't mind drying him for an hour at all.

Yang Chong, who was lying on the ground, didn't wait for Li Zhongyi's response, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

In a panic, Yang Chong had an idea, and in order to survive, he had to kowtow heavily, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the sinner's nephew is the battalion commander of Yangping Pass, and the sinner has a way to make him abandon the darkness and surrender to my Han Dynasty." ”

Li Zhongyi secretly felt funny, when was Yang Chong a courtier of the Han Dynasty, it can be seen that Yang Chong is indeed a hypochondriac.

About a quarter of an hour later, when Yang Chong was already covered in a cold sweat, Li Zhongyi spoke slowly, "What's the trick?" ”

When Yang Chong heard Li Zhongyi's voice, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and replied busily: "The sinner's own nephew, whose parents died when he was a child, was raised by the sinner single-handedly, and he has always been obedient to the sinner. ”

Li Zhongyi blinked, this was really just when he wanted to fall asleep, he met the pillow, what a coincidence!

"Yang Chong, you are so sure that your nephew will listen to you?" Li Zhongyi pursed his lips at Zhang Sanzheng, and Zhang Sanzheng immediately understood, and immediately asked sharply.

"Don't hide it from the emperor, the only son of the nephew is now in this Xingyuan Mansion." Yang Chong wanted to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, but he didn't have the courage to do so.

Li Zhongyi smiled in surprise, this Yang Chong even betrayed his niece and grandchildren in order to survive. Can you imagine, how afraid of death is Yang Chong?

"Very good, then you will leave a letter and send someone to send it to Ling's nephew. If my nephew sacrifices Yangping Pass, I will not hesitate to reward him. Li Zhongyi didn't say this casually, if Yang Chong and his nephew really gave Yangping Pass, high-ranking officials could look forward to it.

It's just that no knighthood will be awarded without military merit, which is an iron law in the army set by Li Zhongyi. Therefore, Yang Chong and his nephews can only be officials, but cannot be knighted.

With Li Zhongyi's personal promise, Yang Chong couldn't help but feel ecstatic, not only saved his life, but also possibly continued to be an official, how beautiful?

After Yang Chong retreated, according to Li Zhongyi's instructions, he wrote a letter of persuasion with affection, and then held it to Zhang Sanzheng with both hands.

Zhang Sanzheng took the letter, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help laughing, this Yang Chong did everything to survive.

In the letter, almost all of Yang Chong's words were hints, lest his own nephew not understand the mystery.

Zhang Sanzheng didn't bother to pay attention to Yang Chong, and directly handed the letter to Li Zhongyi, who immediately smiled after reading it.

"Hehe, just send Yang Chong to deliver a letter to Yang Yuanji." Li Zhongyi pondered carefully, and then ordered Zhang Sanzheng.

Li Zhongyi thought about it a lot, if Yang Yuanhe didn't buy it, wouldn't he sacrifice a warrior in the army in vain?

Zhang Sanzheng quickly understood the emperor's intentions, and he secretly sighed, how rare is it for a monarch who cherishes the lives of soldiers so much?

"Well, then the subordinate will arrange it?" Zhang Sanzheng asked Li Zhongyi tentatively.

Li Zhongyi nodded and ordered: "If I pass on my words, even if Yang Yuanji does not come to surrender, don't hurt his son's life." ”

The war between the two countries, albeit an unusually brutal one. However, the necessary bottom line is still needed.

The two armies are fighting, you kill me, I kill you, it's all very normal. However, it is indeed impossible to let Li Zhongyi attack a child who is already a captive.

After everything was arranged, Li Zhongyi continued to review the official documents to be done, and did not fall asleep hastily until the third watch.

This expedition to Shu, Li Zhongyi did not have a woman waiting by his side, this is mainly the difficulty of Shu Road, and it is indeed difficult to go to the sky.

To put it bluntly, taking a woman to march on the Shu Road is simply a huge burden, and the wise man does not do it!

In the early morning of the second day, with the loud wake-up call, Li Zhongyi slowly woke up from his deep sleep.

After washing, Li Zhongyi put on the short shirt he used to exercise in the past, mixed in the guards, and started his morning jog.

Normally, the ranks of the Guards are rotated. In other words, officers and men who have served in the Guards for no more than five years will inevitably be transferred to the border army.

Then, among the soldiers of the border army, the elite warriors were selected and added to the guards.

It is very clear in the history books that the reason why the government army in the early Tang Dynasty was so elite and dared to fight was not only that the government army was self-cultivated farmers, but also that the wheel system was more important.

Because of this, the combat effectiveness of the imperial court officers and soldiers in the early Tang Dynasty was amazingly high.

By the time of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the government soldier system had collapsed, and the rotation system was also in vain, which directly led to the combat effectiveness of the central forbidden army, which was far inferior to that of the border army.

This is actually one of the root causes of the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion!

Ten miles in the morning, this is a training subject that must be carried out after the Han army is stationed, and no one can be an exception.

Li Zhongyi ran in the middle of the team, and although he was panting, his feet were not slow at all, and he could keep up with the big team steadily.

Wang Ken, the deputy commander of the Guards, has been following Li Zhongyi's side closely, staring at His Majesty the Emperor with good eyes, lest he make a slight mistake.

As the saying goes, there is no better merit than the Savior!

On the other hand, the logic in this is also true, the sin is greater, and there is no greater sin than to be in danger of the Lord!

After the ten-mile morning run, Li Zhongyi washed his hands and face, held a large porcelain bowl, held bamboo chopsticks, and squatted leisurely into the crowd of soldiers and enjoyed breakfast with everyone.
