Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 138 Reappearing the Great Tang Military Power
In August of the first year of Dazhi, Shenwu is an auspicious day for traveling.

The Zuo Shenwei Army has a total of ten capitals with a total of 300 people, the Zuo Huwei Army has a total of twelve capitals with a total of 1 people, and six cavalry capitals with a total of 6000 people, and [-] Jingyuan Army slaves. Auxiliary soldiers and horse infantry totaled [-].

In the western suburbs of Chang'an, the armor of the soldiers is bright, and His Majesty the Emperor is also wearing bright armor.

Three animals and six animals sacrifice to heaven to pray for blessings, and hundreds of officials send them off.

Three drums sounded, and the army set off.

In the emperor's dragon chariot, Yang Fugong was wearing the official uniform of the county king, sitting upright, but compared to a year ago, the white hair on his head was obviously much more.

Li Ye removed his armor, looked at Yang Fugong and said, "Does the Prince of Xiping have anything to say to me?"

Yang Fugong said: "A dying person, what right do you have to talk to His Majesty?"

Li Ye shook his head, it seemed that Yang Fugong was angry.In history, Yang Fugong was defeated, and after being captured by Han Jian, he calmly died. However, when Qin Zongquan, who killed countless people, was taken to the execution ground, he begged bitterly, and he was so frightened that he feces and urinated concurrently, which made people surprised.

"I won't kill you, believe it?"

Yang Fugong said with a blank face: "Your Majesty's golden words, if you say not to kill, then don't kill, slaves will naturally believe it."

Yang Fugong's appearance that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water made Li Ye frowned, and said: "Your godsons: Yang Shouhou, governor of Mianzhou, Yang Shouzhen, envoy of Dragon Sword Festival, Yang Shouliang, envoy of Jiedu of Shannan West Road, Jiedu of Yangzhou Envoy Yang Shouzhong, oh, and Jinshang defense envoy Yang Shouzong, they withheld taxes and disrespected the imperial order, what did the king of Xiping think of them?"

Yang Fugong slowly raised his head to look at Li Ye, and then slowly lowered his head. The old eunuch stayed in the deep palace for more than a year, and when he came out, it seemed that 500 years had passed, and everything was changed.

The indomitable Li Maozhen is gone, Wang Xingyu, Han Jian, and Wang Xingyue have entered the court, the court has also defeated the brave Dangxiang Dingnan Army, and Tuoba Sigong has been captured.

Yang Fugong's mind was a little confused, he really wanted to find someone to ask, what's wrong with this world, why is it that the titans of the feudal towns he is familiar with are like rabbits, they are all over with one pinch.

Look at the [-] armored soldiers who went out to the expedition, how can they still look like the original Shence army, all of them are healthy and full of energy, and they don't look like they are starving.With complete armor and excellent weapons, regardless of combat power, he looks like an army, and orders and prohibitions are incomparable to the soldiers and horses he has seen in feudal towns.

"Doesn't King Xiping want to talk about your godsons?"

Yang Fugong let out a long sigh and didn't speak.

Li Ye said: "The king of Xiping County also saw it. I have [-] tigers. I use them, and [-] can quell Li Maozhen. I still have [-] troops in Hanzhong, [-] in Liangzhou, Hexi, and [-] in Tongguan. There are [-] in Sui'er Prefecture, [-] in Zhaoyi, and [-] in Chang'an.

The King of Xiping County thought, how many people would I need to take down these godsons of yours! "

Yang Fugong's face became paler and paler, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.

"My 10,000+ men and horses are all brave men. The king of Xiping County can inquire about them. I led an army of [-] to level Tuoba Sigong's [-] party cavalry."

Li Ye walked up to Yang Fugong, looked at his slightly panicked face and said, "And all my soldiers and horses are under my command. I let them go east. They dare not go west. I let them stand , they dare not sit still."

Yang Fugong couldn't hold on any longer, bent his body, and didn't beg for mercy, but his eyes were a little distracted.

Li Ye still recognized this point. Although Yang Fugong bullied the emperor with power, he still had blood. Li Ye himself did not dare to guarantee that he would be so calm when facing life and death.

Threats are almost enough, Huairou is still needed.

Li Ye sat next to Yang Fugong, looked casually at the floor in front of him, and said, "I have received the great kindness of being supported by the King of Xiping County, how dare I forget each other, but the land of the Tang Dynasty is in ruins, and I have no choice but to do so. I must not To pacify Hanzhong, I am afraid that the common people will be harmed, and the lives will be ruined!"

Li Ye's tone softened, and Yang Fugong immediately burst into tears, knelt down and sobbed: "Your Majesty is benevolent, the meager merits of slaves, why should you worry about them, the godsons of slaves are also loyal people, I just ask Your Majesty to spare their lives !"

Li Ye quickly helped Yang Fugong up, and said: "I am the Son of Heaven, so I swear by the heavens, if the hypocrites of Xiping County princes return, I will not blame the past, not only that, but I will also allow them to be rich and prosperous."

Yang Fugong was stunned for a moment, and swearing to the sky is the biggest oath of an emperor, and His Majesty took this to win the trust, which naturally made Yang Fugong deeply moved.

"If this matter is accomplished, I will also extend my favor to you. You will no longer be widowed in the inner palace. I will give you money and servants in your house. The king of Xiping County can stay in any place under the imperial court. You are also allowed to join the genealogy of the Yang family, offering sacrifices at four seasons, and the incense will never stop."

Yang Fugong who was in the deep palace didn't think that he would spend the rest of his life in the deep palace, or one day, he would be dragged out by the emperor and chopped up with a knife.

He could regain his freedom and walk in the Tang Dynasty as the king of Xiping County. He never thought about it. He never thought that this day would really come.

Yang Fugong looked at His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty's eyes were clear, he probably wouldn't use this kind of thing to deceive him!

"Your Majesty, servant..."

Li Ye said again: "Your elder brother Yang Gong Fuguang has made great contributions to the imperial court, and the king of Xiping County has supported me with great righteousness. If this is done, it will also be credited to the imperial court and benefit the people of Hanzhong. The Yang family is a loyal family." , I should set up a monument to praise virtue, thinking that it is prosperous today."

This is to be passed on to future generations!Yang Fugong was really relieved, he tried his best to seize power, what can he do in the end?Can there be such a scenery?
"Your Majesty Long En, the servants can only repay with death."

Yang Fugong's statement was very sincere, and His Majesty the Emperor would naturally be very moved.

One is an emperor, and the other is a former power official. If you have reached this level, you should not talk about whether you believe it or not. Everyone knows it well and chooses the option that is most beneficial to them.

Politics, if you are fooled by the other party's acting skills, then you are not far from death.

Li Ye could only trust Yang Fugong's words to a third, and doubt them to a seventh.Serving the emperor to death would not be enough, but Li Ye was somewhat sure of persuading his godsons to surrender.

The imperial court's mighty military power is not something to be bragged about. Yang Shouliang and the others will know it, but they haven't felt the court's determination yet.

This time the imperial army is pressing down on the country, how should we choose Yang Fugong and his godsons?

According to the original history, Li Maozhen and Wang Xingyu joined forces with [-] troops to level Hanzhong.

But Li Ye has fifty thousand troops, and even a first-rate general like Zhu Zhen under his command, and six thousand elite cavalry are also unstoppable.
