Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 15 Soldiers Out of Luoyang Emperor Training Politics (Please recommend)

When Li Keyong saw Zhu Wen forming a stronghold, he put many horses on the road, there were many archers in the stronghold, and the turrets and towers were intertwined and raining. Although he wanted to fight Zhu Wen, if he fought, he would suffer a huge loss.

Li Keyong is also a good soldier. If the opponent doesn't move, his own side can't wait.Immediately raised the account, said all the officers and men said: "I want to attack Luoyang, what do all the officers and men think?"

All the soldiers have followed Li Keyong for many years, and Li Keyong naturally understands the strategy of using troops.

Attack it and save it.

Luoyang is the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty and the important town of Heyang.

Immediately praise it.

Li Ke used [-] troops to stay and ordered Li Cunxiao to stay in the camp, but none of the Shuaiqi army tents were taken away.

That night, he led [-] soldiers and horses, took a horse in his mouth, bound his feet, and left the camp quietly.

Li Keyong thought he could deceive Zhu Wen, but he didn't know Zhu Wen's temperament, and Lao Zhu played it transparently about the matter of beating sap in the dark.The Bian army scouts who were cruising around Li Keyong's camp that night reported the situation to Zhu Wen.

Zhu Wen was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly summoned all the soldiers to discuss in the middle of the night.

Ge Congzhou said: "Luoyang is an important town, it has suffered from wars for many years, and its defenses are not strong. Although Zhang Quanyi has repaired it many times, and Li Han has few major generals, he may not be able to withstand Li Keyong's army."

Zhu Wen said: "If Luoyang is lost and Heyang is lost, what good strategy do the soldiers have?"

Niu Cunjie said: "Li Ke marched quickly with his cavalry, and I am afraid that there will be no rush to pursue them. It is better to attack Li Hanzhi and Li Cunxiao's troops first, cut their wings, and then have people set up a camp on Taihang Road to cut off their backs. Jin soldiers must be defeated."

Zhu Wen followed it.

He ordered Ge Congzhou to lead [-] cavalry to attack Li Hanzhi, and Pang Shigu and Zhu Zhen led [-] troops to camp on Taihang Road. They sent envoys to inform Heyang City Guards to lead troops out of the city, and together with Ge Congzhou to attack Li Hanzhi, Zhu Wen led his own army to attack Li Cunxiao.

The next day, before Li Hanzhi attacked the city, he saw the four gates wide open. Ding Hui sent out all his soldiers and went straight to the army in the formation. He also saw the dust flying behind the formation. It must be Zhu Wen's cavalry brigade. Li Hanzhi was terrified. , hurriedly formed an array to protect themselves, and sent soldiers to ask Li Keyong for help.

At this time Li Cunxiao knew that things had changed.

The generals said: "The lord has not gone far, you can send envoys to rescue, it's too late."

Li Cunxiao observed Zhu Wen's army formation carefully, and said with a big laugh: "If Zhu Wen's thieves take advantage of my ignorance and send tens of thousands of troops to surround our camp and slowly advance, our cavalry will be useless, and we will die without a place to die. Now that the enemy army is approaching the camp, they regard my horses as having no legs."

After speaking, he ordered all the soldiers to gather their troops and come out from the back of the stronghold. In the camp, all the food and grass were discarded.

Seeing Li Cunxiao abandoning the stronghold and going straight to Heyang, Zhu Wen's face changed drastically. He also wanted to surround Li Keyong's stronghold, with armored soldiers in front and archers behind, to surround and kill Li Cunxiao.

But Li Keyong hadn't gone far yet, he was afraid that after the siege, Li Keyong would come back to rescue him, and then he would attack Li Cunxiao internally and externally, and the soldiers would be defeated.

But now Li Cunxiao must be going to Heyang, and Ge Cong and Zhou Ding will be in danger.

"All the soldiers, throw away the food and grass, and rush to Heyang..."

…………

The battle situation in Heyang was unclear for a while, Li Ye hoped that this battle would last longer and give him more time to prepare.

These days, the sequelae of the reorganization of the Shence Army are gradually appearing, and the key to the problem is still the military salary.

The monthly salary of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty ranged from [-] to [-] Wen. In the past, the monthly salary of the Shence Army was about the same ([-] Wen). Sorry.

After weighing the pros and cons, Li Ye decided on a monthly salary of [-] wen.

Li Ye knew that after a long time, those bastards from the Shence Army would definitely make trouble.

It's just that they started cascading troubles when they were paid for the first time. Now the armies are not fully staffed. There are only five capitals in the first army. About three of the five capitals are soldiers of the original Shence Army, and two of them are soldiers of the Hezhong Army.

The family of the Shence Army wanted to join forces with the Hezhong Army to make trouble together, but the soldiers of the Hezhong Army originally received [-] Wen, but now they get [-] Wen in the capital, and their monthly salary has doubled. Although there is a shortage of farm tools for farming cattle, they will be replenished.

Life is good, so why bother with you gang of soldiers.

He Zhongjun also looked down upon the original Shence Army. After so many years of grinding under eunuchs, how much blood can they have?

As soon as Li Ye gave an order, the nearby Hezhong army began to suppress. It was convenient for everyone to go to the other camp through this camp, but only a few former Shence army camps went out to plunder, but it soon subsided.

This is the old tradition of Shence Army.

Li Ye hated it deeply.

Liu Chongwang, Minister of the Ministry of War, pleaded guilty.

This matter cannot be blamed on Liu Chongwang, Li Ye did not take Liu Chongwang's cover.

"Your Majesty, this matter is very evil. Please kill all those who committed the crime, confiscate their property, and confiscate their family members as slaves in the court, so as to serve as an example to others."

Du Rangneng, Kong Wei, Zhang Jun, and Zhang Chengye all agreed.

These people have all suffered from military disasters, so they naturally feel the same, and are indignant. Half of this policy is for the country, and half is for personal anger.

Li Ye said: "It's not difficult to kill. If the rest of the people think that the court is mean, they will not be able to fight with all their strength, and they will be defeated when they retreat. When they are about to fight, they may turn against each other. At that time, what can we do?"

Everyone couldn't answer, so they said together: "I'm waiting for Meng Lang, Your Majesty is wise!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The prime ministers still have to face, and they are ashamed to be told by the young emperor who is dozens of years younger than him in front of him. This wise statement is also sincerely convinced.

His Majesty the Emperor in front of him is not something they can fool around at will.

Li Ye said: "We must be killed, but we can't kill them all. Those who loot the people will not be pardoned, and those who just cause trouble without looting the people don't need to be killed, but they must be punished. Those with official positions should be punished even more. The higher the official position, the punishment heavier."

"The most important thing is to let these soldiers know why they were punished, Kong Shilang."

"Chen is here!"

"Go to the Guozijian to pick some great scholars. I want to arrange a few articles for you. One is about the harm of eunuchs, the other is about the morality of soldiers, the third is about the morality of generals, and the fourth is about common people.

I want you to talk about the relationship between officials and soldiers and the common people. You should discuss the current military system of the Tang Dynasty, why the chief general cannot be given exclusive power, and why the eunuchs cannot be given military power.

It should be written with the bloody lessons of the Tang Dynasty, there is no need to avoid taboos, what to say, the more the reason is debated, the clearer it becomes. "

This is to uncover the fig leaf of the Tang Dynasty. What is the alienation of the monarch and his ministers, what is the alienation between the court and the people? I understand now!

"His Majesty!"

Li Ye's words just now made the prime ministers feel like a thorn in their backs. This is against the rules!Really?
Li Ye said: "What is the state of the Tang Dynasty? I still care about the face of the court. I also want to invite some old farmers to the court to discuss politics, so that you can also know what the people are living now."

　I would like to ask all readers for a recommendation ticket, thank you in advance!
