Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 110 Li Ke's Abilities

The lands of Hezhong and Shaanxi are very important to Li Ye. If they can be obtained, they can defend the east of Chang'an and connect Zhaoyi.

But the disadvantages are also obvious. It will face Hedong and the Central Plains directly. Before the Western Shu Hanzhong is conquered, the imperial court really has no spare power to manage this place.

Putting it in the hands of someone like Wang Chongying is in line with Li Ye's strategic needs.

Moreover, the river is rich and rich, and Wang Chongying is weak, so he can play a game.

……

But when it comes to Li Keyong in Hedong, Li Ye's posture is very low.

His Majesty the Emperor also served food when he saw people.Li Ke's characteristic of Shun donkey, Li Ye is very clear about it.

Li Junwang has a high self-esteem and has force, and the extermination of Huang Chao has made him more confident.

Such a person has the best face, and the person who has a good face likes to wear a tall hat, especially the imperial tall hat given to him by His Majesty the Emperor.

The war between Xuanwu and Hedong has been going on for a long time, and each has its winners and losers. Zhu Wen originally wanted to complete his meritorious service in one battle, but unexpectedly the Hedong cavalry was really hard to deal with, and Li Keyong remained as brave as before.

Outside Heyang City, Zhu Wen carefully arranged to hide more than [-] chariots of General Tu in the formation.

When Li Ke used it to charge into the formation, more than five hundred chariots came out, and the front army of the Hedong Army killed thousands of the Hedong Army.

However, Li Ke used the main force of the Black Crow Army to attack the flanks fiercely, defeating the long straight army on the left wing, causing the Chinese army to almost collapse.

The more the two armies fought, the more they felt that they could not swallow each other at all.

Zhu and Wen are worried about the Fourth World War, and Li Keyong is not without burdens. He Lianduo, the defense envoy of Yunzhou in the northeast of Hebei Province, makes Li Ke use it a little bit from time to time, and Li Kuangwei, the envoy of Lulong Jiedu in the east Use face for Li Ke.

By this time, both armies and horses were exhausted, and both of them wanted to retreat.

Li Keyong's temperament, which Zhu Wen also knows, has a heart higher than the sky and a life thicker than the city wall.

Zhu Wen naturally had to build the steps for Li Keyong.

Zhu Wen sent someone to personally apologize to Li Keyong, promised Yicaibo, and even promised to quit Heyang, and promised a daughter to Li Keyong as a concubine.

Although Zhu Wen's eldest daughter was only seven years old at this time, it did not prevent Zhu Wen from seeking peace.

Li Keyong was quite moved. In this way, he got his face and face. Although it was still difficult to express his anger, the Han people said a good thing, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years.

Besides, at this time, Li Keyong still has a little opinion on His Majesty the Emperor.

The imperial court ordered the princes of the world to crusade against Zhu Wen, but up to now, only the Hedong Army has fought against Zhu Wen, and there are no ghosts of other feudal towns.

Even the imperial imperial guards huddled in the Luzhou area, in the name of taking care of the food and grass, but in fact they sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight.

Li Keyong had a feeling of being fooled.

For this reason, he approached Du Rangneng, the envoy of the Xuanwu camp, in despair, and asked the imperial court to pay his salary.

According to the usual practice, the feudal town sent troops for the imperial court, and the imperial court had to pay for the food and money. Naturally, the soldiers who fought the war could not be paid as usual.

That has to be added to the combat allowance.

Auxiliary soldiers start at [-] Wen, soldiers are at least consistent, and cavalry are higher.

The Hedong army must not follow the lowest one. Li Ke used the calculations to calculate, and he could hold out a finger to Du Rang.

"100 sticks!"

If you don't get paid, you won't do it.

It can be regarded as an explanation with the court.

"Retreat or not, please think twice, the king of the county."

Du Rangneng was very stubborn. He received the news that the imperial court had subdued Baoda. His Majesty the Emperor personally led an army to defeat the Dingnan army, and captured the enemy chiefs Tuoba Sigong and Tuoba Sixiao.

Not to mention taking over Baoda and Tongzhou, Jingyuan was also included in the bag. The entire Guanzhong land was under the rule of the imperial court, and the Youhuwei Army was newly built.

Now inside and outside the court, there are 10,000+ soldiers who can fight.

This is the battleable soldier who defeated Li Maozhen and the Dingnan Army, not the weak and incompetent Shence Army before.

Datang is no longer the little daughter-in-law who was manipulated by others during the late emperor's time.

Du Rang Neng handed the letter written by His Majesty the Emperor to Li Keyong, saying: "This is a letter written by His Majesty. Besides, His Majesty has another oral order."

Li Ke saluted in the direction of Chang'an.

Du Rangneng nodded. Although Li Keyong is domineering, as long as he is coaxed, Li Junwang is very respectful to Tang Ting.

Du Rangneng gave oral instructions on behalf of Emperor Xuan, so he naturally put on airs. He wanted to help the emperor expose Li Keyong's scars, and healed the scars and forgot the pain.

The imperial court has done you such a great favor, but you don't want to pay back, and you still ask the imperial court for money, how can you still ask for some face?
"The king of Longxi County can use my brother. I think about my brother every day. I think about my brother's bravery in the past. He was the leader of all armies. The nest bandits were wiped out. My brother spared the court and made great achievements..."

This exaggeration, speaking of Li Keyong's heart, has always been proud of Li Keyong's pacification of the Huangchao Rebellion and the restoration of Tang Tianqing.

"Since I ascended the throne, I have been concerned about Shangyuan Station's affairs every day, and I feel injustice for my brother. Zhu Wen is a widow and cold, and my brother has the grace to save me. This thief does not want to repay, but wants to harm..."

The scars are uncovered, here comes the point!
"If you don't avenge this revenge, I'm afraid that people in the world will ridicule you, brother, you are a hero in the world, how can you stigmatize your name..."

When Li Keyong heard this, his face gradually turned red.

But His Majesty the Emperor still refused to let Li Keyong go, and sprinkled a handful of salt on the wound to impress King Li even more.

"I granted my brother the land of Heyang. This is true. I often hear people asking why the county king didn't take revenge. Some people said that the Hedong army is timid. Brother is no longer as brave as he used to be. Every time I hear it, I hate the villain for being speechless." , I really feel unwilling for my brother, my brother waits for the right time, it is hard to stop the world's endless mouths..."

Li Keyong was about to burst into tears, he was most afraid of being thought that Li Keyong was afraid of Zhu Wen.

"This king and Zhu Wen are incompatible."

As for the letter, Li Ye said in the letter, "The imperial court is small, and the army must be arrogant. I originally wanted to use the Hedong army to suppress the rebellion, but I was afraid that it would delay the Hedong army's vengeance.

Therefore, the government treasury was searched, and the five towns of Zhaohezhong, Jingyuan, Tongzhou, Shuofang, and Tiande put down the rebellion. Fortunately, they all succeeded. "

Li Ye expressed his understanding, and after the miserable sale ended, he made a small request to Li Keyong.

"This is the time when the green and yellow are not harvested, and the soldiers are not full. What's more, the common people, if you have a surplus, please borrow 50 shi for grain and 50 guan for money. Chang'an thieves are flocking. If you have enough troops, please borrow [-] armored soldiers to help peace." thief."

After reading the letter, Li Keyong frowned. He is also short of money and food!
Du Rangneng said: "Prince Li Jun, whether the 100 million military salary should be reported to His Majesty by the envoy."

Li Keyong waved his hand, Tang Ting was in such a difficult situation, why did he mention this, it was impossible to mention it, and it hurt the relationship between the emperor and himself.

"Dugong wait a moment, there is no need to mention this matter again!"

Du Rangneng clasped his hands and saluted, "A certain court thanked Li Junwang for his understanding."

"Your Majesty, what did your Majesty mention about borrowing food?"

"Du Gong, I still have important matters in the army, so I will leave for now!"

"Junwang Li, food..."

Li Ke ran out of the tent without looking back.

"If you borrow food, then the Hedong army can only feed on human flesh..."
