I won't force you

Li Ye's army had just arrived in Langzhou, and the gate of the county city was opened.

A group of party generals led a group of Tang generals out of the city to greet them, and they were so polite that they didn't even have the courage to look up at Li Ye.

The war with Li Maozhen and Zhu Wen has proved the strength of the nascent Tang, and Fangzhou, the capital of the post office, has surrendered, and Langzhou naturally does not dare to resist.

Of course, the main reason is that the party members of this era did not have the courage to resist Datang.

"Sin will Li Si worship His Majesty." Li Sixiao was unconscious, and this Li Sijing had the most prestige in the post office.

"No courtesy." Li Ye said lukewarmly.

"Your Majesty, Li Chengqi made his own opinion, let the Liang people cross the border, the last general's brother didn't know, and I hope that Your Majesty will accept the wrath of the thunder and sympathize with the people of Yufang."

"Sympathetic to the people? Do you know that Li Chengqi drove the Tang people in the territory to wantonly slaughter, who is not sympathetic to the people? “

Li Sijing is young in his fifties, although he is a military general, he looks quite rich, "Your Majesty atonements!" “

Li Chengqi let the Liang army enter the country, and also slaughtered the people, and attacked the camp of the Son of Heaven together for the tiger, if Li Sijing was allowed to expose it in a few words, he would not only be sorry for the people who died in vain, but also for the heroic soul of the Tang Army who died on the battlefield, and even more sorry for himself.

"I don't force you, you can go back to the city to prepare for war now, or go back to Xiazhou, or you can go back to Chang'an, and accept the canonization of the imperial court like your brother."

If you want to say that Tang Ting can't do anything else, he still has credit, and he doesn't look ugly like Zhu Wen.

Li Sijing was sweating profusely, and the eyes of several Tang Army generals beside him flickered, obviously not with him.

In fact, Li Sijing does not have many choices, and stubborn resistance is self-defeating, and these Tang Army generals alone can kill him.

"The last and last generals are willing to return to Chang'an and serve their brothers." Li Sijing bowed his head helplessly.

This choice surprised Li Ye, he felt that Li Sijing's best choice was to return to Xiazhou, after all, Li Sigong was also his own brother.

"Okay, the general understands the righteousness, I am very relieved, and I am very relieved, and I am crowned Li Sijing as the Duke of Fufeng County, and the school and military department are still in the book, and a mansion in Chang'an is given."

"Your Majesty."

Li Ye immediately met with the generals of Youzhou, like Fangzhou, most of the Tang generals are veterans, and the youngest is in his forties, and it is estimated that they are all real power figures in the local area, and most of the generals of the new generation are party members.

"The last general, Zhao Hongjie, will meet His Majesty." The party generals knelt down with General Tang.

"No courtesy, General Zhao is well aware of the righteousness, and from now on, General Zhao will be promoted to the defense envoy of Postal Prefecture."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Hongjie was overjoyed.

The remaining generals were also rewarded, but these young party generals were reluctant to stay in Huzhou.

Let them go, it will definitely not work, if they can't do it, they will go to Li Sigong or Li Chengqi, Li Ye simply let them join the Praetorian Guard, set up a separate battalion, the commander is temporarily concurrently served by Xue Guangheng, and the party generals are the deputy commander and the head of the capital according to the size of their official positions.

Unexpectedly, these young party generals cheered one by one, and the sound of "dong dong" banging on the mountain.

This made Li Ye a little puzzled, the Tang people's soldiers and warriors rushed at Tang Ting at every turn, rebelling or something, how could they feel that the party members still supported Tang Ting.

Li Sijing would rather go to Chang'an to be an idle rich man than return to Xiazhou to be a general.

Although Langzhou is located on the Loess Plateau, it embraces the Luo River on the left, and the Lushui River on the right, forming large and small plains between the ravines, which is conducive to farming, so the post state is actually richer than Fangzhou, and there are more people in the city, and Fangzhou is more for military purposes, and guards Chang'an.

Due to the strict military discipline of the Tang army along the way, and under the banner of the Son of Heaven, the Tang army entered the city, and the people of Postzhou were not confused, but poured out of the streets to pay homage to the emperor's appearance.

Li Ye waved his hand, and the people knelt on the ground to salute, and everyone in the Tang Party had it.

Originally, Li Ye's opinions on the party items in Fangzhou were suddenly much weaker.

At the height of the Tang Dynasty, Taizong Li Shimin was known as "Heavenly Khan", Taizong died, and the Turkic royal family and the famous general of the Tang Dynasty, Ashina Sheer, asked to be martyred.

If the Tang Dynasty wants to revive, it will definitely march into the west of the Longyou River in the future, where all ethnic groups are mixed and hateful, and it will definitely not work.

Since the Sui Dynasty, the party has been constantly moving inward and merging, and now, most of them wear Tang costumes and speak Tang dialect, except for some different hairstyles, which are the same as Tang people.

Although China is sometimes sluggish in force, culturally, it is crushing and more attractive to the surrounding area.

Li Sixiao has been running a post office for many years, taking Fangzhou as the city, Langzhou as the warehouse, the Langfang treasury is full, and the grain is not less than 100,000 stones, Li Ye only took 50,000 stones as military rations, and distributed 20,000 stones to the people of Langfang.

Be generous to others, and don't feel distressed.

For the first time in more than ten years, the people of Langzhou saw the army entering the city without robbing and distributing grain.

For thousands of years, the people's requirements are very low, as long as they have a full meal and a sheltered home, they will be safe and secure.

It's a pity that for thousands of years, every dynasty has become more and more decayed, the cultivators are hungry, the weavers are not clothed, and the Zhumen wine and meat stink road has frozen bones, and the common people can't survive, so they can only climb high and shout, and rise up.

Stayed in the county for two days, Zhou Yunyi's scouts came to report, Shi Shucong and Li Chengqi parted ways in Yanzhou, Shi Shucong wanted to enter Xia Sui to avoid trouble, Li Sigong did not accept, turned to the east, and went to Shuo, at present, Zhou Yunyi followed, and the small cities along the way surrendered, and even Danzhou in the east, after knowing that the emperor was coming to Langzhou, took the initiative to surrender.

In the entire post town, only Yanzhou in the north remains.

And Li Sigong not only rejected Shi Shucong, but also rejected Li Chengqi.

In other words, the current Yanzhou is just an isolated city.

The entire north of Guanzhong is like a bamboo under Li Ye's momentum.

This is the war dividend that blocked Zhu Wen, representing that the Tang Dynasty has officially become a powerful force.

Next, it is to see what kind of attitude Shuo Fang Han Zun has.

Linning and Jing are sparsely populated in the original area, and they have to rely on Guanzhong or Fengxiang, but Shuofang is different, and he can live by himself behind closed doors.

In history, the reason why the party members were able to rise was because Li Jiqian captured Lingzhou, the capital of Shuofang, and officially had the foundation of founding the country from a group of grassland rogues.

"There is a lonely city in Yanzhou, and Your Majesty can order Li Sigong to attack the city to test his heart." Li Juchuan's small eyes were shining.

"This is not very good, Li Chengqi is Li Sigong's nephew after all."

"Li Sigong has been running Xia Sui for many years, our army can just take this opportunity to spy on its strength, if he doesn't come, it is against His Majesty's will, and it just gives our army the truth to ask, the party is not monolithic, it is divided into multiple tribes, the Tuoba Department is the strongest, and it has been suppressing other departments, Li Sigong does not obey the imperial court, and some other tribes obey." Li Juchuan's appearance is too much like a dog-headed military advisor with a bad stomach.

Li Ye laughed dryly, "It's better to be scheming." “

"Your Majesty is wise." The two began to flatter each other.

The next day, the army set up camp, Li Ye brought Zhao Hongjie with him, the heart of harming people is indispensable, and the heart of defending people is indispensable.

The Tang Army, which was divided into one battalion, plus 5,000 auxiliary troops, defended Post State.

Zhao Hongjie actively cooperated, which made Li Ye look at him with admiration.

Yanzhou is the red holy land of Yan'an in later generations.

When the army arrived in Yanzhou, it had just set up a camp, and Li Sigong's party army also came.

Li Ye couldn't hold what Li Sigong meant for a while, so he ordered the army to be on guard.

Not long after, Li Sigong took a few party generals to personally cross the river and go to the Tang army camp to meet Li Ye.

"Minister Li Sigong greets Your Majesty." Although Li Sigong is older than Li Sixiao, and the folds on his face are layer by layer, his body is strong and his voice is loud.

Li Ye didn't expect him to be so open-minded, and helped Li Sigong up, "Xia Gong tried to fight Huang Chao for rebellion and protect the Tang Dynasty Sheji, and I have always remembered it. “

Although a series of small actions of the party members made Li Ye uncomfortable, at the most critical time in Datang, he was able to stand up and fight Huangchao bloodily, this loyalty, Li Ye still has to admit it.

When the Tang Dynasty was strong, the Turks and Uighurs who were far away in the world were loyal and filial sons.

The Tang Dynasty has weakened, and the nearby feudal towns are full of tigers, wolves, birds and beasts.
