A flock of wallgrass

Li Ye estimated that even if Li Sixiao really died, he would be brought back to life by Xin Shilang's words.

"Listen to the Tang army in the city, you are all the people of the Tang Dynasty, do you still want to meet with my soldiers?" Li Ye also roared loudly.

The army of 100,000, plus the arrival of the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention Li Sixiao, even Li Sigong has to weigh whether he has the courage.

One hundred and fifty years ago, Tubo sent troops to Hehuang strongly, and the Dangxiang Tuoba Department was afraid of its troops and asked Tang Xuanzong to relocate, and Xuanzong was very interesting and moved them north to the area of Gyeongju.

However, the party members are not honest and have been infiltrating the Hetao area with abundant water and grass.

During the Xiantong period, Pang Xun was in turmoil, Yizong was anxious, Tuoba Sigong took advantage of the chaos to occupy Youzhou, claiming to be the history of the assassin, Huangchao attacked Guanzhong, lured Xia Sui Jie Du to make Zhuge Shuang, Tuoba Sigong took advantage of the situation to rise, attacked Huangchao, although there were not many military exploits, but the contribution was very great, the confused emperor Tang Xizong named him Xia Guogong, gave the surname Li, worshiped Xia Zhou Jiedu envoy, and the party members sat big.

Datang is absolutely as kind to the party as the sea.

However, Li Sixiao's skills in standing in line are obviously not as good as his brother Li Sigong, and Zhu Wen did not have the last laugh.

It is estimated that he couldn't imagine that Li Ye would be able to block Zhu Wen's attack.

The party has been operating on the wall grass for a long time, whoever is strong will obey whom, please at both ends, and benefit from both ends.

But Li Ye can't tolerate sand in his eyes.

Be more aware of the consequences of the rise of the party and cut off the east and west arteries.

"Your Majesty, the defenders are already timid, and the last general is willing to enter the city to persuade him to surrender." Li Juchuan arched his hand.

The defenders in the city really don't have much morale, but the warriors can do anything these days, although they won't kill Li Juchuan, but they can still kidnap him as a hostage.

"No, I let the army intimidate, and this city will fall!" Li Ye came with the general trend, and his morale was like a rainbow, even if he attacked strongly, he could fight it.

Unexpectedly, before the army moved, the city gate was opened.

The four Tang generals knelt on their knees, "Sin will welcome His Majesty into the city!" “

Li Ye was afraid that they would surrender by fraud, so he did not enter the city immediately, but let Gao Xingzhou and Li Juchuan lead 5,000 troops into the city to control the situation.

The four Tang will be brought to Li Ye.

Two of them had white hair between their temples, and when they saw Li Ye, they burst into tears, "I waited in the post office day and night to look forward to Wang Shi, but it was a pity that the rebels were everywhere, and the land close at hand was hanging in the hands of foreigners." “

As soon as he saw these elderly people, Li Ye's heart became a lot more stable, and the older he was, the more he identified with Tang Ting.

"The Tang family is in decline, I didn't expect there to be such a loyal person as the general." Li Ye appeased several people one by one.

The veteran who spoke was named Liu Shiyan, and the other person was Gongsun Su, two younger generals, Gao Chen was in his thirties, and Yeli Jingrong was in his early twenties.

This name is obviously a party member, Li Ye deliberately glanced at Yeli Jingrong, and felt that it was no different from the Tang people, but his skin was slightly red.

"Several generals are generals, and our army is in need of manpower."

"Thanks to Your Majesty's love, but the last general and General Gongsun are both old and overwhelmed, for fear of delaying Your Majesty's major affairs, the two of us were originally people from Chang'an, and I only want to return to Chang'an for retirement." Liu Shiyan is quite acquainted, but he also lacks many of Li Ye's troubles.

"Okay, I will give you two Chang'an Mansion."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two of them bowed again, now in the fierce and dangerous world, as a military general, it is very rare to be able to have a good death, how many famous generals have died without a place to be buried.

However, Gao Chen and Yeli Jingrong's disposal gave Li Ye a little headache, people defected in a good manner, the position was too low, it would make them feel despised, too high and impossible, now the officers of the Tang Army are all fighting on the battlefield, and it is difficult to convince the generals.

"General Gao He Yeli, temporarily served as the auxiliary army Sima, and if he has merit in the future, he will be promoted again."

Gao Zhen didn't say anything, and responded respectfully.

Yeli Jingrong spoke fluent Tang dialect: "Your Majesty, the last general does not want to be an auxiliary army and wants to join the Tang army." “

"To join my Tang Army, you need real combat exploits to be promoted, General Yeli has to think about it?"

"The last general is not afraid." Yeli Jingrong was very resolute.

"Okay, from now on, you are the head of the Praetorian Guard, and you will be able to stay by my side first."

Yeli Jingrong was overjoyed, and his head slammed on the ground: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" “

After a short time, Gao Xingzhou sent someone to report that Fangzhou City was completely controlled.

Li Ye entered the city at this time.

As soon as he entered the city, he was smoky with the oncoming air, and the city was full of cattle and sheep, as well as separated herds of horses.

There weren't many inhabitants in the city.

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, and then ecstatic.

Cattle and sheep are just fine, these horses came too timely.

Li Juchuan rushed over and said, "Your Majesty, these are all driven from Xia Sui and ready to be sold to Chang'an. “

As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Ye was poor and destitute in Chang'an, and his life was almost unbearable, and these feudal towns were rich one by one.

No wonder Han Quanhui can easily get food.

"What about Li Sixiao? Is it really dead? Li Ye asked curiously.

"Back to Your Majesty, Li Sixiao is full of grief and anger, and he is still in a coma."

It turned out to be really sick.

I don't know if I was stunned by myself, the emperor, or by my unsuccessful son.

For Li Sixiao, Li Ye couldn't make up his mind for a while, he definitely couldn't cut it with a knife, and he couldn't look ugly like Zhu Wen.

There are still a large number of party members in the post office and Xia Sui, and they have to offer Li Sixiao as a Buddha statue, "pass on my will, and seal Li Sixiao as the prince of Feng Yi County, the Taishi, and Tongping Zhangshi, and when he recovers, he will be sent back to Chang'an." “

However, there is not much money and grain in the treasury of Fangzhou Prefecture, and grain is a strategic-level material in these years, and the post office is not an important place for grain production.

In fact, there are not many party members in the city, only 3,000 of the 5,000 cavalry are genuine party members, and the rest are Tang people.

The 10,000 infantry troops were all Tang people, and the party members served as generals, but Liu Shiyan had already controlled them when he opened the door and surrendered, and a few who were fierce were directly cut by him.

Such a person who understands righteousness, Li Ye can't help but express it, and he has rewarded a lot of money.

After the city was controlled, all the troops were withdrawn outside the city, accepted the reorganization, selected the elite to replenish the lost troops of each department, and the rest were all filled into the auxiliary army, and the auxiliary army built two new battalions.

As for the party cavalry, under the coercion of the Tang saber, they took off their armor and weapons, and all of them became prisoners.

There are also three prefectures of post, Dan, and Yan in the town of Post, as well as the cavalry of Shi Shucong and Li Chengqi, which is far from the point of sitting back and relaxing.

Li Ye immediately slaughtered sheep and rewarded the whole army, and even the auxiliary army and the people were given mutton.

Tang Jun is even more unlimited, and eats with an open belly.

There is no wine, food is so scarce, wine is even more scarce.

That night, under the city of Fangzhou, bonfires were everywhere, and the golden mutton exuded an attractive aroma, except for the scouts of the sentry and the necessary patrols, 100,000 people feasted.

A sheep looks like twenty or thirty catties, which is enough for more than a dozen people to eat.

There are 40,000 sheep in Fangzhou City, Li Ye can still bear it, and the cattle and horses are still being counted.

However, the bloody man who fights also has a large amount of food, and he can't eat enough, so it's rare to eat a meal of meat, and he can eat two catties of food now.

Some people can eat four or five catties, and the most terrifying is Xin Shilang, who ate half a sheep by himself.

On the second day, Li Ye ate 13,000 sheep.

Although he was distressed, Li Ye felt that it was worth it, for the sake of Datang, they even gave up their lives, if Li Ye was stingy with such mutton, would he still be human?

He simply ordered the auxiliary army to send 5,000 sheep to Tongguan, 2,000 to Pujin Pass, and 1,000 to Hancheng.

There are still a lot of capable people in the auxiliary army, and when they collect all the sheepskins, Li Ye's heart moved, there are no padded jackets or down jackets in these years, and in winter, it is surprisingly cold.

I vaguely remember that the end of the Tang Dynasty seems to be the period of the Xiaoice River.

Winter is coming soon, so you can make some sheepskin jackets and distribute them to the soldiers.

After eating the meat, the morale of the whole army was like a rainbow on the second day, and even the auxiliary army was screaming to cut people, and some people kept asking when the auxiliary army would recruit people.

With the expansion of the territory, the expansion of the army is certain, and it is still necessary to take the entire Langfang Town and the head of Shi Shucong before the winter comes!

Li Ye divided 3,000 soldiers and 20,000 auxiliary troops to Li Xiaoqi to defend Fangzhou, and he and Gao Xingzhou marched to Langzhou with a large army.

Weibei in this era was not as full of loess as later generations.

Withered grass is everywhere, woods are scattered among the hills, small rivers can be seen everywhere, and nearby Tang herders are driving their flocks to hide from the army.

The bloodless victory of the post office made Li Ye feel very good.

There are not three surplus states, there must be iron-headed babies, and no one wants their one-third of an acre of land to be encroached upon by others.

Along the way, in the small city, I saw the Tang army with the banner of the Son of Heaven already mighty, and there was no crime all the way, and the city surrendered directly, Li Ye appeased them all, and the army did not enter the city, and went straight to Langzhou.
