Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 139
Convincing Yang Fugong was also expected by Li Ye.

Although most of the land registers brought back by Zhang Chengye are estimates, there are more than ten prefectures in Hanzhong, most of which are large prefectures, with more than one million people and tens of millions of mu of fertile land. , is indispensable.

In addition to the two Sichuans, with the material resources of Shu, Hanzhong, and Guanzhong, the imperial court can easily support 30 troops.

If Hanzhong can be captured without bloodshed, Li Ye is willing to pay a high price to honor Yang Fugong and his godsons.

Li Ye took out the map of Liangchuan, thinking about where to start.

But the dragon chariot has almost no shock absorption, knocking it from time to time, disrupting his thoughts.

Although Baoxie Road is the avenue into Hanzhong, the road condition is not very good. There are potholes everywhere, and some places are blocked by fallen stones from the mountain, and people need to be cleared.

There was a small gavel behind the emperor, and Li Ye picked it up and knocked on the car window.

The dragon chariot slowly stopped.

"Your Majesty, do you have any orders?"

Li Ye stepped out of the dragon chariot and said, "Get your horse ready!"

The guard commander Li Yun said: "Your Majesty, do you want to bring weapons?"

Li Ye nodded.

Li Ye turned around and said to Yang Fugong who was in the dragon chariot, "The king of Xiping County can rest on the dragon chariot, it's too early to go."

Yang Fugong didn't hesitate, and said directly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Zhao Xi led the horses and asked: "Where does Your Majesty want to go? You servants should prepare the expenses first."

Li Ye said: "No need to prepare, go to Zuo Huwei's army."

Zhu Zhen's ability to lead troops is beyond doubt. He can quickly train the mob into strong soldiers.

Li Ye was naturally quite concerned about Zhu Zhen's military training method.

But among the imperial court's army, there cannot be a situation where only one army is strong and all the armies are weak.

When attacking Tuoba Sigong, Zuo Huwei's army lost more than [-] people. When expanding the army, Li Ye sent in many Yushan's personal guards, as well as a lot of adjutants from each side.

These days, Zhu Zhen's words and deeds in the camp have all been reported to his dragon case.

Monitoring Zhu Zhen is secondary, the key is to be able to think about Zhu Zhen's military training method through Zhu Zhen's words and deeds.

After a while, Li Ye arrived at Zuo Huwei's marching army.

"The last general, Zhu Zhen, pays homage to His Majesty."

"You don't have to be polite when you're wearing armor!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When the army is marching, the weapons and armor of the soldiers are placed on the nearby carts, or carried by the auxiliary soldiers, so that the soldiers maintain their physical strength.

Therefore, when an army is marching, it is also the most vulnerable time for an army. At this time, as long as the chief general is not too mentally retarded, he will send out a large number of scouts to inquire about the enemy's situation within a radius of dozens of miles.

If there is a change, it can also be equipped to fight the enemy.

While Zhu Zhen's army was on the march, even if they sent scouts to investigate, half of the soldiers were still equipped with armor and weapons, and the two teams took turns to rest.

This is also what Li Ye thinks is desirable.

Li Ye and Zhu Zhen rode side by side, and Zhu Zhen deliberately left his horse one step behind.

Li Ye said: "Commander Zhu, when I enter Hanzhong this time, the whole army will expand by [-] troops. What do you want to say?"

Zhu Zhen said: "Does Your Majesty want to recruit troops, or organize and dispatch soldiers?"

Li Ye said: "Reorganize and surrender!"

Zhu Zhen said: "There is no need to change, just withdraw the army."

Li Ye shook his head secretly, directly took over the army, can it be controlled?
"Your Majesty, the soldiers are newly attached, and the soldiers are very anxious and unwilling to give up their strength. Moreover, most of the subordinates of the subordinate army are already used to it. If it is reorganized, it may take months or even years to form combat power. This is exactly the last general. worries."

"If the master has a different heart, are you afraid of changing?"

Hearing what the emperor said, Zhu Zhen felt that she had dug a hole for herself. I don't know if the emperor did it on purpose or not. Zhu Zhen herself is also a newly attached army!
Li Ye gave Zhu Zhen a look, letting him experience it for himself.

Zhu Zhen lowered her head and said: "One army will follow each other, use force to check and balance it, the chief general is the brains of the first army, take the chief general's family as a pledge, so that he will not dare to act recklessly."

Li Ye laughed and said, "General Zhu is so loyal?"

His Majesty the Emperor suddenly realized that no matter Fengxiang, Binning, Huazhou, or Tongzhou, the original generals were of no use to him. It would be too wasteful not to use these generals.

Relegation is also available, the key is to check and balance, his mind is still not open enough!

"One word from the general made me suddenly understand, haha!"

For a long time, Li Ye felt that there was still a gap between him and Zhu Zhen, and he had been probing, but since Zhu Zhen said this, His Majesty the Emperor felt that he and Zhu Zhen were getting along a lot.

At this moment, the servant Zhao Xi stepped forward, handed over the letter box, and said, "Your Majesty, this is the report from Zhang Yi, the Commander of Zuo Yulin Guards. The envoy is waiting for His Majesty's summons."

Li Ye opened the letterbox, and Zhang Yi said in the letter that Feng and Xingerzhou's autumn grain had been put into the warehouse, that the soldiers were preparing for battle, that Yang Shouliang of Xingyuan Mansion and Yang Shouzhen, the envoy of Yangzhou, were no different.

One more thing was mentioned, which annoyed Li Ye quite a bit.

Zhang Yiyan and Wang Jian sent envoys to ask the imperial court for Jiedu envoys. The envoys were captured by patrols while passing the Baoxie ancient road, and they were detained in the army until the emperor passed by.

Li Ye handed the report to Zhu Zhen and said, "Look, there is someone who is quite a military envoy again, and he is asking me for a festival of military envoys!"

Zhu Zhen hesitated to take the report, read it for a long time, but still didn't understand it.

"Your Majesty, the young general is not very literate. Please tell the young general where the traitor came from. Your Majesty, please allow the minister to go and destroy him."

Li Ye looked at Zhu Zhen, and said, "It's okay to be illiterate, I have issued an order a long time ago, a general must be illiterate, at least two words a day."

"Your Majesty, the last general... the last general is learning..."

Li Ye was only entangled, and turned the topic around and said, "Wang Jian, the former governor of Lizhou, I never said that Chen Jingxuan was a rebel. He went to capture Jiannan Xichuan on his own, and now he has captured Jianzhou, Shuzhou, and Meizhou. , I want to designate the land of the six states in the south of Xichuan, and lead the Jiedu envoy myself."

"Your Majesty, the last general begs His Majesty to order that the last general go and pacify Wang Jian."

Li Ye looked at Zhu Zhen, and asked Zhu Zhen to go to Ping Wang Jian. The problem is probably not serious, but he still shook his head and said with a smile: "This person drives people with the righteousness of the court, how can I not give him this opportunity, let's talk about it when we get to Xichuan , if he refuses to come to see me, I am asking you to attack him."

The identity of the co-lord of the world is still very useful in this era, but it depends on where it is used.

For more than 200 years, the land of Shu has been the rear of the imperial court. In recent years, it has gradually become too big and disrespectful to the imperial court.

Most of the governors are appointed by the imperial court and have the emperor's kindness in their hearts.

This is also the land where Wang Jian has only conquered the three states until now, and Qiongzhou next to it has resisted Wang Jian for more than a year.

The long-distance march was very tiring, and the materials of the Tang Dynasty were not abundant. When the soldiers were not fighting, they could only eat meat once a ten-day period, but during the march, they would eat meat once every three days.

It happened to be meat today, so at noon, Li Ye ate in Zuo Huwei's army.

It was not the first time in Zuo Huwei's army that the emperor and the soldiers ate together.
