Accept the party
The two brothers died too soon.
Three months ago, Li Ye and Li Sigong surrounded and suppressed Shucong in Shuofang, and Li Sigong also tried his best to show that he was strong and strong in front of Li Ye, but in a blink of an eye, he fell.
People still have to serve the old, and they should do whatever they should do at any age.
Although Li Sigong has made small moves, on the whole, he still has merit to Datang, fighting Huangchao bloodily and losing repeatedly.
Later, Zhaozong crusaded against Li Keyong under Zhang Jun's flickering, and Li Sigong also responded positively.
It can be regarded as giving face, and now that it is hanging, Li Ye also gave him face, posthumously named the king of Xiping County, and the captain of the school, and the same Ping Zhangshi.
However, Li Sigong's face was given, and Li Ye didn't want to give Li Sigong's face.
If you agree with the brother and brother of the party, it is equivalent to recognizing the legitimate rule of the Tuoba Li family over Xia Sui.
In the past, Tang Ting was weak, but now Li Ye's Tang Ting is hungry, how can he give up this opportunity?
Can you let others sleep soundly on the side of the couch?
Li Ye issued another edict, appointing Li Siji as the deputy envoy of the privy council, inspecting the secretary of the military department of the school, the county prince of Xiazhou, and recalling the military counselor of Chang'an.
"Your Majesty, there are eight clans in our party, Tuoba, Yeli, Xifeng, Fei Ting, Xiangli, Pochao, Fangdang, Mi Bao, and a surname is divided into small tribes, the big ones are more than 10,000 horses, and the small ones are thousands of horses, not unified, Tuoba is the strongest, occupying big cities such as Xia Sui Yinyou, and the rest of the tribes are scattered in small cities outside."
In order to better understand Xia Sui's party members, Li Ye called Li Sijing for questioning.
After Li Sijing entered Chang'an, he swelled up like a snowball, he was still slightly fat before, but now he has become a huge fat, and he no longer has the temperament of a military general.
"You Tuoba family is too boring, aren't you? The good places are all occupied by themselves, don't the other clans have opinions? “
Li Sijing knew everything, "Of course there is, but since the beginning of the incident, Xia Gong has used the Tang people in the territory as his wings to suppress the clans, and the clans dare not speak out." “
"How many people are in your party?" Li Ye remembered that in later generations, Li Jiqian rebelled against the Great Song Dynasty, gathered 44 tribes, and only managed to make up 13,000 people.
Of course, Li Sijing knew what the emperor meant by asking, and his head was full of sweat, "Hui, Hui Your Majesty, there are 8,000 households in the Tuoba Department of Xia Sui and the four prefectures, and the other clans add up, less than 5,000 accounts." “
13,000 households, roughly 60,000 or 70,000 people.
All the people are soldiers, and they can make up an army of 40,000.
During the Tianbao period, there were only 17,814 households in Yinsui and 7,516 households in Xiazhou.
Even if the party was established in later generations, there were not many real party members in the country, and most of them were converted by Han people.
"Would you rather be a party member or a Tang person?" Li Ye asked suddenly.
"Don." Li Sijing's head was full of sweat.
"You don't have to be afraid, now you are the county prince of the Tang Dynasty, you are your own person, I want to hear the truth."
Li Sijing was relieved at this time, "Back to Your Majesty, in fact, the people in Xiasui are not divided into party items and Tang people, their clothes and clothes are similar, and the two ethnic groups intermarry, they all speak Tang dialect, and they do not distinguish each other. “
Li Ye was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that he was influenced by later generations.
Out of the need for rebellion, Li Yuanhao came out with a new party member, changed to Uighur clothes, got a semi-bald hairstyle, and imitated Chinese characters to create party items.
Of course, the biggest reason why Li Jiqian and Li Yuanhao's grandsons were able to successfully rebel was because they encountered the Great Song Dynasty, and if the capital of the Song Dynasty was Chang'an, Li Jiqian would be an immortal, and he was also destroyed by Zhao Er.
Since the party moved to the Hetao area, the Tang court to its grace and power, a little big, will be hit and divided by the Tang court, the fourth year of the middle school, Xuanzong also ordered Fengxiang Li Ye, Hedong Li to wipe the Jiedu soldiers to break the party.
And in the face of the strong Middle-earth culture, how can the party not be assimilated in one hundred and thirty years?
"Please show mercy to Your Majesty's subordinates, the party is also the people of the Tang Dynasty." Li Sijing knelt down.
Li Ye helped him up and said warmly: "As long as the party members recognize me as the emperor, I will recognize them as my people." “
Li Sijing's words made Li Hao feel at ease.
If it is time to say that Li Sigong is really dead, the opportunity has come to completely solve the party members.
God puts such a good opportunity in front of him, wouldn't he be sorry for God if he didn't take it?
The first meeting of the Privy Council was also in Tianxin Pavilion.
Han Wei, Wang Xingyu, Gao Xingzhou, Yang Shihou, Zhou Yunyi, Tuoba Yungui, as well as Li Juchuan and Zhang Chengye recalled from Fengxiang.
"The war in Guanzhong has just been quelled, and the spring ploughing is imminent, and another big war will start, I'm afraid it is not a serious move." Hanok frowned in disapproval.
The four generals were eager to try.
Among the four people, Yang Shihou made the most meritorious service, "Your Majesty, last year to attack Langfang, did not experience a major war, and the extermination of the clan Shucong was only in January, and now the morale of the army is high, and it is the right time to seek peace with Xia Sui." “
"What does Manager Zhang think?" What Li Ye wants to hear most is Zhang Chengye's opinion.
As the head of the auxiliary army, from the cantonment pit to the grain transportation, and then to the town guard, Zhang Chengye is actually the person who has the most right to speak.
"The party is a vassal of the imperial court, Your Majesty named Li Sigong as the king of Xiping County, and his merits have been revealed, if he continues to divide the feud, I am afraid that after Xia Sui II, it will not be Tang Tu, and if you want to recover it, it will take more effort." Zhang Chengye said slowly.
"Good!" Li Ye high-fived and laughed.
Zhang Chengye is different from Hanok, Han Yi is equivalent to Li Ye's staff, in the words of later generations, it is the hired manager, and Zhang Chengye is a powerful figure and belongs to one of the original shareholders of Datang.
"The imperial court only needs to suppress the power, and there is no need to raise a large sword army, Xia Sui can solve it!" Li Juchuan said.
"How do you do it?" It's best not to fight, and now Tang Ting is still very poor.
Li Juchuan bowed his hand to everyone, "The party is not monolithic, the Tuoba clan fox fake tiger bullies the weak, now Li Sigong is dead, Your Majesty does not grant Li Sigong the envoy, the territory must be panicked, Your Majesty can order a general, Chen Bing Wuding River, recruit rebellion, Xia Sui can get the whole territory!" “
If it weren't for the dog-headed military division, this Li Juchuan would be a bad stomach.
Li Ye was in a good mood, "No, a general is not enough to deter the party members, I will lead an army of 50,000 to go in person!" “
The emperor's name is naturally more effective, after all, the golden signboard of the Tang Dynasty for two hundred and eighty years is there, and the Tang people within the party dare not resist.
Of course, the main reason is that Li Ye wants to further bind military power to imperial power.
Back then, the party members were cornered by Tubo, and it was the Tang Dynasty that took them in.
Now, it's time for them to get it back.
With a series of victories, Li Ye's reputation is also unmatched for a while, as long as a decision is made, it is basically the final word.
The edict of the Tang court was conveyed to Xiazhou, but Li Siji remained unmoved.
In these years, the warriors were all masters who did not shed tears when they saw the coffin, and 50,000 Tang troops were assembled in Yanzhou.
As soon as Li Ye's Son of Heaven arrived, the army arrived in Yanchuan within two days, looking at Yinzhou in the north, Xiazhou in the west, and Suizhou in the east.
There were even many oppressed Dang Xiang clans who came to defect.
Li Ye did not dare to hold it up, the great man said that he despised the enemy strategically and attached importance to the enemy tactically.
No matter how good the strategy is, one tactical mistake will be like a mountain of defeat.
There are countless examples of gutter capsizing.
Li Ke used to fight Luoyang, the strategic situation was very good, and Xin'an City failed tactically once and lost all the games.
A large number of scouts were scattered to various places, and some even went straight to the border of the Yellow River, but no one dared to stop them in Xia Sui under the banner of the Tang Army.
If Li Sigong is still alive, maybe there is still the possibility of repetition in Xia Sui, after all, he is the founding ancestor of the party people, and his ability and courage will not be bad, but Li Sigong will not be able to.
After waiting for many days, Li Sijian in Xiazhou still did not move.
The other three states are still waiting and seeing.
It will definitely not work if it is consumed like this, and the food and drink of 50,000 troops in a day is not a small amount.
Li Ye simply marched directly into Xiazhou.
If the mountain doesn't come, I'll go to the mountain.
"Why did Your Majesty personally bring the army here?" Li Sijian stood at the head of the city, dressed in armor, and his face was as heavy as water.
"If you don't go to Chang'an to see me, I have to come to Xiazhou to see you." Looking at the endless Tang army under Xiazhou City, Li Ye felt proud in his heart.
I finally have some family background.
Although it is still far from reviving Datang, as long as it continues step by step, it will eventually be realized.
"In the chaos of Huangchao back then, it was my brother who helped His Majesty quell the chaos, why did Your Majesty force me to wait like this?" Li Siji's voice was sad and indignant.
From a personal standpoint, Li Ye feels that he is indeed taking advantage of others.
But at the national level, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he must do this, and the party members who grow up must be the great enemies of the Central Plains.
No matter how troubled the world is, the jungle principle is the highest standard of the country!
