Li Ye was patient, and he had a casual conversation with Zhang Bo, from the customs of the Northwest, to the Huangchao Rebellion, and then to the interior of the Jingyuan Army.

Zhang Bo actually answered them one by one, without hesitation.

This gave Li Ye a general understanding of the inside of the Jingyuan Army.

Huangchao Rebellion, Jingyuan Jiedu made Hu Gongsu die, when Zhang Jun was the general of the Jingyuan Army, was elected as the Jiedu envoy to stay, the imperial court pushed the boat down the river, officially appointed him as the Jingyuan Jiedu envoy, Huangchao invaded Chang'an, Zhang Jun persuaded Longyou Tubo, Tuyuhun to form an alliance to fight Huangchao, and later Li Maozhen rose, Zhang Jun was afraid of its great momentum, attached to Fengxiang.

However, Feng Xiang's control over Jingyuan was limited, and it was not even as binding as the current imperial court's control of Feng Xing's attack.

Li Maozhen raised troops and ordered two orders to besiege Chang'an, but Jingyuan did not follow.

An hour later, a cry came from the bottom of the slope: "Meet the festival commander!" ”

Zhang Bo was overjoyed, "Your Majesty, my envoy has arrived." ”

Li Ye looked down the slope, only to see an army of seven or eight thousand coming slowly, with a white tent soft couch in the middle, the cavalry separated the road, and a person on the soft couch was wearing a scarlet round-necked robe, with a forehead band wrapped around his head, skinny, stretched out his hand and swayed and saluted: "Minister Zhang Jun greets Your Majesty." ”。

The voice was too small, and Li Ye didn't hear it too clearly, "Zhang Jiedu is exempt." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, several Jingyuan soldiers came up carrying soft couches.

Zhang Jun's eye sockets are deep, and there is no flesh on his face, but his skeleton has grown up, and he is also a powerful general at the beginning.

"It's not easy for the minister to see His Majesty." A faint smile welled up on his thin face.

This kind smile made Li Ye feel that in the face of an elder, "Zhang Yuanjun has worked hard." Suddenly, Li Ye didn't know what to say.

"You stand down, Ben Shuai has something to say to His Majesty alone." Zhang Jun waved his hand lightly, and several sergeants around him retreated to twenty steps away.

Since it was alone, he definitely didn't want the people around the emperor to hear it. "Stand down, too." He is not afraid of a terminally ill person, and Li Ye certainly has no scruples.

Soon, there was no one else within twenty paces of the two.

"The minister thought that Datang would die, but he didn't expect His Majesty to turn the tide in a desperate situation, so that Datang could barely find a trace of life." There was a hint of clarity in Zhang Jun's cloudy eyes.

Li Ye was ashamed, but the words "Datang will die" made him uncomfortable.

Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, no matter how powerful an empire is, there will be a day when it will weaken and fall, just like people will be born, old, sick and die.

However, as a later generation, Li Ye still does not want this great empire to go with the sunset.

"Zhang Jiedu said this in front of me, is it a bit out of courtesy?"

Zhang Jun burst out laughing, laughed a few times, and then turned into a cough again.

In this way, Li Ye was really afraid that he would hang up, and the Jingyuan army below thought that he had killed their marshal.

"Your Majesty holds the land of the middle and the ointment, I don't know what to do next?" Zhang Jun stared at Li Ye's face, as if with some kind of expectation.

Li Ye's series of actions so far are just self-preservation.

Under the strong pressure of Li Maozhen, Wang Xingyu, and Han Jian, they had to react.

All three are now shattered, but an even greater threat is yet to come.

Zhu Wen!

This person is the culprit who really killed Datang. Zhaozong also died at his hands.

In the next step, Li Ye naturally wants to turn Tongguan and Pusaka into iron buckets.

As for the Kanto region calling around, Li Ye can't control it, and he doesn't have the ability to manage it.

Li Ye estimated that the entire Guanzhong would have less than 2 million people, and the population of Guandong, plus Jianghuai, Jiangnan, and Shuzhong, would be close to 20 million.

In later generations, the Qing people entered the Central Plains, and that was because of the cooperation of the gods of the Ming Dynasty.

In the troubled times at the end of the Tang Dynasty, none of the feudal towns in the country were easy to match, and the people in the Kanto region did not have much recognition of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Jun asked this question, which surprised Li Ye a little.

Even if Li Ye had any ideas, it was impossible to say them.

Besides, I didn't get acquainted with Zhang Jun.

"Oh? Zhang Jiedu is so excited to mobilize everyone to see me, must have something to say? Li Ye diverted the topic.

A sickly flush appeared on Zhang Jun's face, "The minister is not surnamed Zhang, and his original name is not Zhang Jun." ”

Li Ye was stunned, what do you mean by this?

"A Han slave in Chenben Kuozhou, nameless and surnameless, enslaved by the Tubo people at a young age, a little older, unbearable to endure the poisoning, gathered other slaves, killed the Tubo nobles, snatched the war horse and returned to the Tang Dynasty, because of admiration for the righteous act of the tide, all the departments changed their surnames to Zhang, and then were recruited by Hu Zhijun, the envoy of Jingyuan Jiedu, and fought bloodily for 20 years before he had a place in the army." After saying so many words in one breath, Zhang Jun coughed again. In his previous life, Li Ye only focused on who was the most ruthless and who could fight the most at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and his eyes naturally focused on the Central Plains and Hebei regions.

The Northwest Frontier knows nothing.

I only remember the national hero Zhang Yichao's uprising in Shazhou and the restoration of the Longyou prefectures in Hexi.

"Since Zhang Jiedu admires Yichaogong, why doesn't he go west to return to the righteous army?"

Zhang Jun sighed and said: "At that time, the Duke of Yichao had already died in Chang'an, and the Guiyi army was attacked by the Uighurs in the north and the Tubo in the south. ”

It was the first time Li Ye had heard the word "madness".

Zhang Jun stood up with difficulty from the soft couch, and half-knelt in front of Li Ye, "The minister doesn't know his name and parents, but the minister knows that he is a Tang person, I hope that Your Majesty will not abandon the Tang people of Longyou and make them return to their homeland, then the minister will have no regrets in this life!" ”

The shock in Li Ye's heart was incomprehensible, "You still admit that you are a Tang person?" ”

"The minister is a Tang person, and the death is a Tang ghost!"

The same words, heard a second time.

For people in the hinterland of the Central Plains, it doesn't matter whose dynasty is or who is the emperor, it's just the changing banner of the king at the head of the city, and it should pay taxes and taxes, and it should serve and serve, no different.

But for the people in the borderlands, only when the Central Plains Dynasty is strong can they be protected from being bullied by foreign races, and they can straighten their waists in front of foreign races.

The decline of the Tang Empire is what they feel the most, and the suffering they have endured is also the deepest.

This is also the reason why the elders of Longzhou support Datang so much. Li Ye helped Zhang Jun up, feeling ashamed in his heart, not long ago he was still thinking about closing the door and being the king of Guanzhong for thirty years.

Thirty years later, I am afraid that no one in the West will remember that he was a Tang person.

Zhang Jun burst into tears, "The remnants of Longyou look east day and night, if Your Majesty advances west, the Changyi Army should be the forerunner!" ”

"I, I have just recovered Fengxiang, Guanzhong is broken, and I am temporarily unable to move westward, but within three years, I will come west with heavy troops and restore Longyou!" Li Ye swore solemnly.

Three years is just a casual number.

If Zhu Wen's attack is blocked, Li Ye and Datang will completely gain a firm foothold, even if there is no Zhang Jun's request, they will march to Longyou, if they can't stop it, they don't have to think about anything, and history will return to its original trajectory.

"Your Majesty, Elder Xie, the right father of the minister." Zhang Jun trembled and bowed.

"Zhang Yuanjun must take care of his health and wait until the day I come." Li Ye said worriedly.

That's what happened at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Lao Tzu supported the imperial court, and his son opposed the imperial court if he didn't do well.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, even if the minister fails, the minister's brothers and nephews will not forget today's covenant." Zhang Jun's thin face was full of determination.
