Chapter 97: The Tiance Army Becomes Famous (4) (2nd Update)
Facing the young silver-armored man in front of him, Hu Liang hurriedly replied, "This is a lowly speculation. ”
In fact, Hu Liang had also heard of Li Ye, the longevity king, but he had never believed that the emperor would let a 15-year-old child command the reinforcements. Zhang Wei's peculiar male duck voice was too obvious, and Li Ye was not very old, so he naturally guessed Li Ye's identity.
"Interesting." Li Ye said with a smile, but then got to the point, "You said that you were sent by Sun Thorn History, what evidence do you have?" If there is no evidence, you will be imprisoned as a spy. ”
"The humble position is evidenced by Sun Tingshi's handwritten letter!" As he spoke, Hu Liang took out a bloody and crumpled letter from his body.
Zhang Wei went down to pick up the letter, and wanted to hand it over to Li Ye, but Li Ye ordered it to be handed over to Sun Ye. Since it is Sun Chen's letter, Sun Ye will definitely be able to recognize it, so first confirm the authenticity of the letter.
And as many expected, this epistle is true. Because the letter is not thick, it is impossible to explain the situation in the city in detail, so Li Ye and others can only inquire about the current situation in Shuzhou from Hu Liang, the deputy town general.
However, after hearing the situation in Shuzhou, everyone was relieved that with the current situation in Shuzhou, they could hold on for a while, but they must also relieve the siege of Shuzhou, otherwise the situation may deteriorate. However, how to defeat the rebels in front of them is a difficult problem, the rebels are not out of the camp, and even if they defeat the rebels in front of them, there are other rebels outside Shuzhou City.
And Hu Liang also brought a piece of news, that is, the rebels have transferred troops from Qiongzhou, the purpose is to defeat the Tiance army.
After learning the purpose of the rebels, Li Ye couldn't cry or laugh, should he be happy, or should he be happy. Although he was happy that the rebels were so important, he was not happy to learn that the rebels had reinforcements arriving. Thinking of this, Li Ye was also dissatisfied with Gao Renhou's side, according to reason, the other party would not be able to take Xinjin now, but there was no news of the recovery of Xinjin.
Of course, he didn't know that Gao Renhou was doing it on purpose. If Gao Renhou takes Xinjin soon, the rebels will definitely withdraw at that time, and it will be difficult for him to realize his idea of taking Qiongzhou in one fell swoop. Therefore, after learning that the Tiance Army quickly defeated the 8,000 rebels, Gao Renhou moved other thoughts, wanting to use the Tiance Army to contain the main force of the rebels.
As long as his side does not occupy Xinjin, the attention of the rebels will definitely still be on the side of Shuzhou and the Tiance army. When the Tiance army and the rebels were defeated, he exerted his strength again, occupied Xinjin, and then approached Qiongzhou, so that even if the rebels realized his purpose, they could not rush to the aid in time.
In this way, he can not only capture Qiongzhou, but also weaken the Tiance army and the rebels, and the main credit will be his.
I have to say that Gao Renhou's abacus played very well, even at this time, Li Ye didn't expect Gao Renhou to be so scheming, let alone become a pawn of Gao Renhou.
Although the purpose of Hu Liang's trip has been achieved, it has created a problem for Li Ye and others. Although they want to cooperate with the army in the city, even if they want to, the army in the city is not easy to cooperate, unless they can send people into the city, but after Hu Liang's incident, the rebels must also be aware of something, and they will definitely increase patrols.
And even if they sent people into the city, the rebels had reinforcements arriving, and it was not easy to defeat the rebels with the army in their hands alone. And because they had defeated the 8,000 rebels like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, the remaining rebels were more careful.
But just when everyone was worried, a rare opportunity was sent to Li Ye, and he couldn't help shouting, 'God has eyes'.
It turned out that when Li Ye and the others had no clue, Li Hong caught the spies who had infiltrated the camp. Since the Tiance Army has a strict system, after increasing patrols, several suspicious people were soon discovered. Originally, this was nothing, at most it was a way to find out the movements of the rebels from the mouths of the spies, and of course it also confirmed that the rebels would indeed have reinforcements arriving in a few days.
This is still not a valuable content, the important thing is later. One of the spies confided in one of them, that is, Yue Changxu, the leader of the thousands of rebels who confronted the Tiance Army, was an official and general before, but he was forced to submit to the rebels.
Li Hong immediately realized that this was very valuable news, and reported it to Li Ye as soon as it was dawn.
After hearing this, Li Ye realized that there was a play, and hurriedly asked Li Hong to bring the spy who confided the news, and he wanted to inquire in person. After some inquiry, Li Ye discussed with others whether he could persuade this town general named Yue Changxu to surrender.
"You also heard the spy's words just now, do you think this method is feasible?" Li Ye knocked on the table next to him and pointed out.
"If it's true, you can give it a try." Sun Ye said in a deep voice.
Sun Changshi said this easily, but it is not easy to succeed. Now that the rebels are strong, and the other party is also the one who commands thousands of troops, what official position do we need to attract him? Or is it money? Pei Rong shook his head, it's not that he is not optimistic about this matter, but this matter is not easy, and he can't let that spy do it, right?
"He was just a town general before, how about giving him a state defense envoy?" Li Ye hesitated, "After quelling the rebellion this time, this king will suggest that His Majesty set up a position of defense envoy in Shuzhou, Qiongzhou, and Yazhou, and let him choose one of the three places. ”
The position of defense envoy began in the Tang Dynasty, mainly responsible for the military of a state, and was generally concurrently held by the assassin Shi, of course, this is not absolute.
"Your Highness, isn't it appropriate for the defense envoy? This is to master the military of a state, he was just a general in the town before, and he was only on the seventh grade, and he was promoted several levels at once, I am afraid that it is not appropriate, and it may be difficult to get rid of the tail. Sun Ye said worriedly.
Regardless of the three places, the defense envoy is a high-level position. It is equivalent to that this Yue Changxu only defected to the rebels for a few months, and when he returned to the imperial court, he was promoted several levels and became a defensive envoy, which is too fast.
"But if you can quickly quell the rebellion, it's not impossible for a defensive envoy, anyway, it's Chen Jingxuan who has a headache in the back, and this Xichuan land is under his jurisdiction." Zheng Ningji said indifferently.
Li Ye also nodded, although this idea is not kind, it is not unacceptable, anyway, it is Chen Jingxuan who has a headache. However, looking at Sun Ye's attitude, he definitely can't choose Shuzhou.
"In this case, we need someone to complete this task, and if we can successfully complete this task, this king will remember him a great achievement, and reward him with a thousand times." Li Ye looked at everyone.
Everyone looked at each other and hesitated, after all, this going deep into the enemy camp was not a joke. And for all the people present, there was no need for them to take the risk.
Just when Sun Ye, Pei Rong and the others were hesitating, the inconspicuous Li Yingxu stood up, and after saluting Li Ye, he said in a loud voice, "Your Highness, I am making a wish." ”
Seeing that someone was willing to go, Li Ye didn't feel embarrassed, and he couldn't help but look at Li Yingxu differently.
"What conditions do you have?" Li Ye asked.
"Back to Your Highness, there are only two people here."
"Which two?"
"Qin Yi'an and Zhong Wei!"
