Probably Zhaozong thought the name Jingyuan Army was a little scary, and changed it to the Zhangyi Army three years ago, but it was still used to call them Jingyuan Army in the army. "Did the Jingyuan army defeat Ningzhou?" Li Ye suddenly felt that the emperor was not so easy to be, and there were always people who came to block him.

"No, I've been stationed in the west of Ningzhou." The scout replied.

This move made Li Ye scratch his head.

sent troops to Ningzhou, captured Ashina Zhenyan alive, and did not fight Ningzhou.

It's like taking off all your clothes and doing nothing.

Is it just to give themselves a little color, so as to prove that they are not easy to mess with?

Everyone else has used knives, and there is no need to coax it on your side.

Although Jingyuan is difficult to fight, it is not as good as Li Maozhen, right?

Jingyuan sent troops to Ningzhou, just taking advantage of the emptiness of his troops, sent troops to Jingzhou, and pulled out this thorn in one fell swoop.

Just about to issue an order for the whole army to attack Jingzhou in the north, the morale of the two armies is high, all the way to the west, attacking the city and pulling out the village, with the accumulation of victory, the psychological advantage of the soldiers has also been accumulating, and the morale has reached its peak.

As soon as the people of Longzhou City saw that the Son of Heaven had moved, many people went out of the city to see them off, and some old people still knelt down to Li Ye.

Li Ye sighed in his heart, even in Chang'an, the people have not supported the emperor so much, but there are still people in the northwest border who have the Tang Dynasty in their hearts.

The captives of Longzhou were all sent to Fengxiang, and two thousand Praetorian Guards were left in the city to garrison them.

At this time, Li Ye had about 17,000 troops around him.

Ningzhou is not a major town, if you lose it, you will lose it, if you take Jingzhou, the threat of Fengxiang and Longzhou will be gone, and then gather heavy troops in Jingzhou, Yuanzhou is difficult to support alone.

Thinking like this, Jing Yuanjun was simply sent to the door.

However, after entering the boundary of Jingzhou, Li Ye's heart gradually became uneasy, and as far as the eye could see, there were loess hills, ravines and lush forests.

The terrain is too dangerous, and any hill and ravine, with a wall in front and back, will become a turtle in an urn.

Don't look at the morale like a rainbow now, that's because military victories cover up many internal contradictions, and once you lose once, the good situation will not fall apart.

The former Qin Fujian unified the north, supported 800,000 troops and whipped south, and was defeated in the water, and there was no place to turn over.

I knew that the boundary of Jingzhou was so dangerous, so I didn't come. "The whole army is encamped." Li Ye chose a high ground and did not dare to enter rashly, and at the same time released a large number of scouts to explore the situation ahead.

It didn't take long for the scouts to report back in a hurry, and a force of three thousand cavalry was approaching in front.

Li Ye was stunned in his heart, three thousand cavalry?

This terrain is not suitable for cavalry battles, is it to copy their own back road?

Cold sweat oozed from Li Ye's forehead, and he secretly sighed that he was careless, this time he sent troops too hastily, and his eyes were black at Jingyuan Town.

"Formation, formation." Yang Shihou commanded at the front.

The soldiers didn't think as much as Li Ye thought, and when they heard that there was an enemy, they became excited one by one.

The successive victories made them blindly believe in the emperor.

But if he fails once, the emperor's invincible status in the hearts of the soldiers will decrease.

Li Ye is also difficult to ride a tiger now, and he retreats without fighting, what will the soldiers think? I am afraid that it will further boost the arrogance of the Jingyuan army. Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be overlooked.

The first sentence of the opening chapter of Sun Tzu's Art of War.

Just when Li Ye was thinking about it, the enemy cavalry had already come to the place where the slope was an arrow.

The Jingyuan cavalry are all light horses, wearing black leather armor, holding a riding spear, carrying a horizontal knife on the waist, carrying feather arrows on their backs, and the momentum is extraordinary at a glance.

Li Ye vaguely saw that among the cavalry, there were some men of different races with dark and red complexions. A general from the cavalry walked out and shouted at the slope: "The last general, Zhang Bo, meet Your Majesty!" ”

The current Changyi Festival envoy is named Zhang Jun, and this Zhang Bo should be from his clan.

Li Ye can also be regarded as having seen the fierce folk customs in the northwest, and this is how the Jingyuan army visited the emperor.

"The Jingyuan army crossed the border for no reason and captured and killed the imperial army, is it contempt for me?" Li Ye was not polite, and directly asked the teacher to ask for the guilt, and overwhelmed the enemy with momentum.

Now he represents not himself, but Datang Zhengshuo and the soldiers around him.

As soon as these words came out, the Praetorian Guards who were in front of them glared angrily, despising the emperor and despising them, and the spears stabbed forward, and under the command of the generals, the soldiers roared in unison: "Bold! ”

Such a military spirit made most of the uneasiness in Li Ye's heart gone.

The horses in the front row of the enemy cavalry became agitated.

Zhang Bo hurriedly dismounted and half-knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty forgives me, the Jingyuan Army has no such intention, and this time I sent troops to Ningzhou, but I want to collect Suining for Your Majesty." ”

Isn't this talking nonsense with your eyes open? Can you spit out the fat meat in the wolf's mouth?

"Wei Ning has my own subordinates to fetch it, and I don't worry about it, but what is the purpose of you and other innocent generals?"

"Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, Zhang Yuanjun thought it was Feng Xiangjun, so he made a move."

This explanation is a bit far-fetched, but the other party's attitude made Li Ye confused for a while.

It doesn't look like it's going to be fought.

"Since it was a misunderstanding, I have already toured Jingzhou, why didn't Zhang Jun come to see the driver? Could it be that Zhang Jiedu, like Li Maozhen, is not a minister of the Tang Dynasty? Li Ye took advantage of the righteousness of the monarch and the ministers, and directly asked the teacher to ask for the guilt.

Hearing this, Zhang Bo actually knelt down, "The Zhang family in Kuozhou has no such intention!" Zhang Zhijun asked to see His Majesty. ”

Kuozhou Zhangjia?

Li Ye glanced at Li Juchuan beside him, and Li Juchuan said in a low voice: "Longyou Kuozhou, Baoying fell into the hands of the Tubo people in the first year. ”

The first year of Baoying is one hundred and thirty years ago.

Li Ye only remembered that after the Anshi Rebellion, Longyou, Hexi, and the Western Regions were all captured by the Tubo people, and the later history only knew one Guiyi Army, and nothing else was known.

is also black-eyed to the current Longyou.

He didn't know where Kuozhou was.

However, Zhang Bo calls himself the Zhang family of Kuozhou, does it have anything to do with Zhang Yichao, the hero of the Guiyi Army?

Zhang Jun wants to see himself? Isn't this funny, I beat Fengxiang by myself, the northwest shook, Zhang Jun is coming early. What kind of medicine is sold in Zhangjia gourd?

Didn't you deliberately fool yourself and then gather heavy troops?

Li Ye couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he sent scouts to probe left and right.

Li Juchuan said: "Your Majesty can let Zhang Bo come close to see him, if he doesn't come, there will be fraud." ”

Li Ye nodded, "General Zhang can come closer." ”

Zhang Bo hesitated for a moment, gave a few words to the cavalry behind him, and still walked up the slope.

Li Ye was relieved in his heart, the identity of the emperor is really useful.

"The last general, Zhang Bo, will pay a visit to Your Majesty." Zhang Bo half-knelt in front of Li Ye.

I didn't look carefully at the bottom of the slope, but now it seems that this Zhang Bo is actually a veteran, I am afraid that he is more than fifty years old, his body is still strong, he has an obvious Northwest appearance, dignified and upright, his face has wrinkles blown out by the north wind, and his eyes are simple and calm.

"General Zhang is exempt." Li Ye's tone was much more polite.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I don't know where Zhang Jiedu is now?" Zhang Bo's actions eliminated most of Li Ye's vigilance, but also made him more curious about Zhang Jun.

Li Ye originally thought that the towns of the world were either ambitious or unruly, but Zhao Kuangning refreshed his cognition.

The second generation of Caizhou soldiers, a group of Caizhou ruthless people, but they want to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty.

"Zhang Yuanjun is on his way here, please wait for a while."

Li Ye glanced at Zhang Bo, could it be that Zhang Jun is also as hearty as Zhao Kuangning?
