Chapter 76: The Edict of Confession

While speaking, Tang Chao took out the edict that had been drawn up from his arms: "Receive the decree!" This is an edict I have personally given, and when I unify the world, you can show it to all your ministers. When I arrive, I will personally confer on you the official position at the Golden Luang Palace. ”

Ge Shuhan received the decree and called the minister in his mouth: "Weichen Xie Emperor Longen." ”

"Open it up, I won't treat you badly."

The edict unfolded: Fengtian carried it, and the emperor of the New Tang Dynasty said: Feng Ge Shuhan is the general of plagiarism.

Ge Shuhan was stunned when he saw it, there was a big gap between him and the position of the minister in his heart, although his face did not show the slightest displeasure, but in the feeling of the Tang Dynasty, he clearly felt this change.

"Aiqing. There are a few words that I think you should know. In Li Longji's letter, although he mentioned many times that as long as you make great contributions, you can achieve the position of prime minister. But have you ever thought about it, even if one day, the Li family reunifies the world, do you think you can be the prime minister? ”

Ge Shuhan immediately thought that leading troops to fight and charging into battle is my strength, but I am a military attachΓ© and have no culture, so I am afraid that I will not be qualified for the position of prime minister.

"I'm afraid...... It's a bit difficult. ”

"It's not a little difficult, it's simply impossible. The prime minister can hold the boat in his belly. The people who can be prime ministers are all sleek and sophisticated, far-sighted people. The name of the general's brave combat is known all over the world, but when it comes to governing the government, it is very insufficient. At this point, I'm sure you won't argue with me, yes? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Wechen is just reckless. ”

"I know. You may not be convinced in your heart, and think that I have despised you. But think about it, if you don't have enough ability and sit in the position of prime minister, like Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong, not to mention the disaster to the country and the people, you will harm yourself and destroy the nine clans. Li Linfu has to be considered capable, after all, he was punished by Li Longji after he died of old age, but Yang Guozhong is different, he has harmed too many people, so the Nine Clans were destroyed, and he could not escape his doom. Don't think that making you prime minister is to promote you, maybe it will harm you. Dealing with the big and small relations between the DPRK and China, your wrist is far inferior to General Gao Xianzhi, you just look at how powerful he is now. Here today, I named you the general of plagiarism, which is a sincere reward, and there is no mistake. What if I just want to take advantage of you, even if I make you a minister, then I can completely disobey the agreement, what does the general think? ”

"Your Majesty Xie's enlightenment. If it weren't for your reminder, I would have almost fallen for Li Longji. I can see that even if the world is peaceful in the future, Li Longji may not let me be the prime minister, and at that time, at his age, if he does not die, he should have given way to his crown prince Li Heng. ”

This time, he actually began to call "Li Longji" by his name, which shows his sincerity in surrendering to the Tang Dynasty.

"If only the general could understand this. The facts are here, even if Li Longji has a long life, but his reign will definitely not be long, and the crown prince Li Heng doesn't care too much about you. It's obviously saving you, but it's changing in the middle of the way. Gao Xianzhi did not move, if it wasn't Li Heng's idea, then I'll tell you the truth, the prince's current appeal is really not good, which means that he can't control his subordinates. Just think about it, Li Longji is cowering at Jianmen Pass, with only 50,000 soldiers and horses, while Li Heng claims to have 500,000 troops, but they are all empty. Think about it, the only troops he can directly mobilize are Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, how many men and horses do they have? Not half a thousand, but three hundred thousand. And let's analyze it again, of his 300,000 horses, only 100,000 can really be pulled out to fight. In the battle of Taohe, although he won, it can be described as a miserable victory, why, because according to my internal report, Sun Xiaozhe lost 10,000 horses in this battle, and Li Heng lost more than 30,000 people. This is still the most elite combat power under Li Heng, let me ask, what will the combat power of the 200,000 soldiers and horses under Li Heng's direct jurisdiction be insufficient, the equipment is not neat, and the training is insufficient? Don't think that he is as stable as Mount Tai now according to Lingwu, in fact, in my opinion, An Lushan deliberately gave him this way, the purpose is to attract all the troops of the Li family, let them gather together, and then annihilate them with one blow. An Lushan was really a little afraid that Li Heng would follow his example of his son Li Longji again and flee into the mountains. It's really going to be that time, but it's a protracted war, and An Lushan is of course afraid of long nights and dreams. General, Gao Xianzhi's 100,000 horses, and your 100,000 horses, together, are all the current strength of the Li family. At such a time, the thieves are huge, and they should not have attacked rashly, but Li Longji gave you the order to attack. What is this not calling you to die? Moreover, what is even more dangerous is that Shi Siming will definitely want your life now, because if he doesn't defeat you, he will have to die. Li Heng is now constantly rubbing against Li Longji for the throne, the Li family's world is like this, why do you bother to work for him? What is the dark future? I won't say much about An Lu's strength, I'll only talk about myself, otherwise, maybe you still have doubts. ”

"Your Majesty's words, it really makes the ministers clear the clouds and see the blue sky, I have always believed in Li Longji and the Li family before, but now it seems that I really dare not rely on it."

"That's what the general said. What I want to tell you is that I now occupy Chang'an and control a large area of Guanzhong. As you must know, I am the emperor of Nanzhao, leading the 100,000 troops of Nanzhao to conquer the Central Plains, plus the 100,000 elite soldiers I personally trained in the Lingnan Jiedu Envoy, the Anxi Duhu and the Jiannan Jiedu Envoy. When I marched into the Central Plains, the army of Nanzhao occupied most of the land in Jiannan, and I waved the army to take Chang'an, and within a month, Chang'an was lost, and then it took half a month to clear the rebellion in Guanzhong and control the core of the Central Plains. Of course, you can also know that the Chang'an treasury and the materials and silver in various states and counties are under my control. That's why I was able to train 300,000 troops in these three months. You stick to Tongguan, and the supplies inside are sufficient, of course you can't feel Li Heng's distress. Now he has no horses for the sergeants, and the supply is difficult, and the average soldier has two meals a day, and it cannot be guaranteed. It is not difficult to understand that the last time he fought with Sun Xiaozhe in Lingwu, he would actually lose 30,000 horses in the case of taking advantage of the situation. It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and everyone knows this truth. Overall, the Li family's army, before you surrender to me, General, your 100,000 army is the best equipped. My current soldiers and horses, not including your 100,000 horses, are 500,000, which is equivalent to An Lushan's current strength, and it is enough to compete for the world. Once you enter An Lushan's army, you will be able to get into trouble at that time, as long as you can destroy Shi Siming, Tian Chengsi or Cai Xide, it will be a great achievement. Among the generals under An Lushan, in addition to these three people who are really powerful, the rest of Tian Qianzhen, Cui Youqian, Hua Mingqing, and Sun Xiaozhe, although they can be regarded as masters, are inferior. Your task is to pretend to be sincere to An Lushan, and when the time comes, seize the opportunity, as long as you can help me destroy one of these three people, it will be regarded as a great achievement. The edict has taken effect since today, I hope you will be careful and cautious, I am waiting for your good news in Chang'an. ”

"Yes. Your Majesty. After such a painstaking enlightenment in the Tang Dynasty, Ge Shuhan finally fully understood the current situation, and made three bows and nine bows, thanking the Tang Dynasty for his great kindness.

"I will never be mistaken about you. Don't worry, An Lushan or Shi Siming never expected that you would take refuge in me after surrendering, they know that you have no second way to go now except surrender, and they will definitely believe that you are really surrendering, so your safety in the An army should be no problem. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Also, I will send a general to lead troops to be stationed along the Yellow River, and when the time comes, once you encounter unforeseen dangers, remember to save your strength, and they will take you. When the time comes, he will still not lose his position as a marquis, understand? ”

"Understood" Ge Shuhan was a little excited.

To tell the truth, although he is brave, he is actually a bit greedy for life and afraid of death. An Lushan's cruel reputation spread all over the world, and he thought that he would be an insider under his nose all day long, and his heart was very uncomfortable. Who knows when the murderous demon will cut off his head. With this sentence of the Tang Dynasty, he can be regarded as a reassuring pill.

Mom, no matter what, in the troubled times, save your life first, and then say, the rest are duckweed.

"Good! I'm leaving, but before you go, you ordered your men to bring here all the supplies on a hundred mule carts, and I'm sure you'll be convinced that I'm sincere in recruiting you. ”

Ge Shuhan is a little strange, didn't any of his subordinates report before, they are all chickens, fish, ducks, and salted meat, and they need to be transported to the Chinese army's tent?

But now that they are subordinate to him, of course they are at his command in everything.

"Come on, order someone to drive a hundred gong carts to my military tent."

After a short time, mule carts came in one after another, filling the tents outside the Chinese army's tent.

"Tell the rest of the people to go out, and leave a dozen or so personal soldiers."

The Tang Dynasty whispered orders again, and Ge Shuhan naturally complied with them all.

The various animal meat on the mule cart was removed, and bags were revealed.

Each bag was swollen, and it was clear that it was full of contents.

"This ...... What is it? ”

"Just look at it."

As he spoke, there was a soft sound of "poof", and the silver of Bai Huahua fell to the ground, not only looking at the eyes of several pro-soldiers, but even Ge Shuhan's eyes.

The value of just one bag of silver ingots can form an army of a hundred people, and a hundred bags are enough to form an army of ten thousand people. Of course, if it is a military salary, it can support the expenses of 100,000 men and horses under his command for a year.

The military salary of 100,000 horses was paid by the Tang Dynasty for a year.

That's a lot of money. This also made Brother Shuhan, who was still a little suspicious in his heart, completely surrender to the Tang Dynasty. He knew that what the Tang Dynasty said was not wrong, after occupying Chang'an, the countless silver taels in the treasury became his. Otherwise, who would have such a large family property.

In other words, if the Tang Dynasty misjudged him and used these silver taels to establish himself as the king, he could also dominate the Central Plains.

The Tang Dynasty trusted him - absolutely trusted him.

Thump!

In the sound of kneeling down one after another, Tang Chao felt the true loyalty from Ge Shuhan. His sense of touch felt the gratitude in the heart of this brave soldier and the solidity that he found to rely on.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"It's all flat." Tang Chao ignored the reaction of these pro-soldiers who were so surprised that they fainted, smiled faintly, and waved his hand.

An invisible force held Ge Shuhan and lifted his body up.

Brother Shuhan, who was too surprised, finally reacted, and his eyes almost fell out: "Your Majesty, this is ...... Is it the legendary magic skill of fighting cattle across the mountain? ”

He finally gave up again, thinking in his heart: When the Tang Dynasty first came, I still wanted to capture him and report to Li Longji, but I didn't expect that the martial arts of the Tang Dynasty had reached such a terrible point!
