Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 154
In the Hanzhou Army, the vast majority of people have never been on the battlefield, and they have never seen blood and heads. Such bloody scenes have never been seen in their entire lives. Some soldiers even peed their pants on the spot.

He wanted to retreat to the city, but the Zuo Shenwei army had already blocked the city gate, so where to retreat.

The iron cavalry of the imperial court roamed outside the circle, staring at it like a tiger. That shallow trace was like a gate of hell, and those who crossed it would die.

There are already many heads flying into the sky, and there are also headless corpses that are bleeding.

In the end, the entire army, without even a decent resistance, put down their weapons one by one, took off their armor, and walked out of the circle one by one.

"How could this be?" Li Yanzhao, the governor of Tongzhou, shook his head dully, "Even if he loses, he won't lose so quickly!"

Li Yanzhao felt that he was on the wrong ship. He had just attached Gu Yanhui's suggestion. Just now, he thought that Dongchuan soldiers would teach the emperor, so he should not be so impulsive.

Xianzong, Dezong... Yizong, which emperor in the Tang Dynasty has not been educated by the feudal town, and Xizong has been educated by Li Keyong more than once, and each time he was promoted higher than the official.

But now, the painting style is a bit wrong!
The Imperial Imperial Army is not as vulnerable as imagined.

Is it!

Li Yanzhao couldn't think about it.

Seeing Sima Jingxiang on the march beside him, Li Yanzhao said flatteringly, "Jing Sima, His Majesty is personally in command, just like Emperor Taizong."

Jing Xiang cupped his hands and said: "Ping Li Maozhen and discussing Tuoba Sigong are all conquests by His Majesty himself. Wherever they go, they are not defeated at all!"

"..."

"..."

Pengzhou Inspector Fei Cun listened to Jing Xiang's words, and Tongzhou Inspector Li Yanzhao looked at each other, both of them saw incredible in each other's eyes.

The land of Shu is closed, and it hasn't been long before they can't communicate with China. They are already so backward, and such a big news is only known now.

Three or four years ago, it was not that they had never met His Majesty. At that time, His Royal Highness Shou Wang fled west to Shu, but he did not have the current ability. On the Jinniu Road, Tian Lingzi's whip made His Highness Shou Wang famous all over the world.

His Royal Highness King Shou at that time did not say a word, not even complaining to Xi Zong at that time.

Cowardly? No, this is forbearance.

Your Majesty's forbearance.

Just like His Majesty Xuanzong who created the rule of Dazhong, he was even considered a fool for a time before he took the throne.

Fei Cun nodded, and Li Yanzhao also nodded.

It is different from Fei Cun and Li Yanzhao.

Mao Xiang, governor of Qiongzhou, originally planned to fight it out.A thief like Wang Jian can serve as a Jiedu envoy, so what's the point of him staying in Qiongzhou.

He also knew that once the Eastern and Western Sichuans were united, the imperial court might be helpless.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty the Emperor gave him such a big surprise.

Mao Xiang looked at Weirong Jiedu envoy Yang Sheng, both Sichuan and Sichuan were rich, but Rongzhou, which was under Yang Sheng's jurisdiction, was barren.

Rongzhou is mostly mountainous, and you can guess it by looking at the place names. Most of the people under the rule are miscellaneous people, and there are many Tubo people. His soldiers are the fewest, only 3000 people, but they are rare strong soldiers in Xichuan.

When Wang Jian was in a hurry to attack Qiongzhou, it was Yang Sheng who led the army to rescue him, otherwise Mao Xiang would have been beheaded by Wang Jian very early.

This is a deadly friendship.

Mao Xiang asked: "If Yang Jiedu has [-] soldiers and horses, can he achieve this level?"

Yang Sheng wanted to laugh a little, Mao Xiang didn't know soldiers, how could he know the difference between cavalry and infantry, his soldiers were good at drilling ravines, and the imperial army probably didn't have this ability.

As for combat strength, Yang Sheng shook his head and said, "It's not enough."

Mao Xiang was a little stunned. In his opinion, the Wei Rong Army has been fighting against Tubo Zahu all the time, and their soldiers are all warriors, so they can't compare with the Forbidden Army?How strong is the forbidden army?

Yang Sheng continued: "The infantry should not be weaker than the imperial army, but the cavalry, I am afraid that if they charge, the mighty army will be defeated."

In this regard, Yang Sheng is still confident.

Gu Yanhui, who was imprisoned, looked ashamed. He didn't expect the emperor to be so hot and bold, let alone the combat power of the cavalry of the imperial army, and the vulnerability of the Hanzhou army.

"If I were in the army, it would definitely not be like this."

Gu Yanhui regretted it very much, why did the soldiers of Saobao be placed outside the city, so that the imperial army could calmly surround and cut off their flesh.

If [-] soldiers were placed on the tower, the combat power would increase tenfold. Would the emperor dare to detain him on the spot?

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as reality.

Gu Yanhui had to consider what would happen to him.

And Cai Shuxiang, who was also imprisoned, was very confused. He was thinking about the [-] Dongchuan Army, his family, and Gu Yanlang, the commander-in-chief. But when the figure of the emperor in military uniform appeared before him, he felt that time All stagnated.

The combat power of the forbidden army was beyond his expectation, especially the six thousand elite cavalry, like a heavy hammer, ruthlessly smashed all his expectations to pieces.

Next, the emperor should deal with the [-] Dongchuan army. Will he kill himself with one knife, and his wife and children will be bullied and squeezed without anyone to take care of them.

Cai Shuxiang shook his head, he no longer has the right to choose, everything about him can only be decided by the emperor, he may be killed, or he may have a chance to surrender.

And the [-] Dongchuan Army, seeing the [-] Hanzhou Army being forcibly suppressed, didn't move at all, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Li Ye didn't pay attention to the Dongchuan soldiers yet. It is very cumbersome to collect the surrendered soldiers. Li Ye doesn't want any of these soldiers. Those who have never been on the battlefield are like blank paper. They can be released directly to the people. There are only two to 3000 people, and they are first received as civilian husbands in the army.

There are too many soldiers in Liangchuan, and it would be a waste of military pay to keep them, either farming or mining.

Of course, Li Ye didn't have to worry about the specific matters. Yang Shouzhong, the commander of the Central Army of the Right Han Dynasty, led [-] troops from the headquarters to watch over him, and temporarily served as the governor of Hanzhou.

The Zuo Shenwei Army and the Sixth Cavalry Army returned to the base camp. These soldiers still had to conserve their strength.

Li Ye returned to the dragon tent with five hundred personal guards. The armor was covered with streaks of blood, and the air was filled with evil spirits, which made people feel cold unconsciously.

Li Ye looked at the ministers and workers, and saw the awe in their eyes, which was no longer the same as before in the tent.

Then without looking at Gu Yanhui, he walked directly in front of Cai Shuxiang.

In front of [-] Dongchuan troops.

Snapped!
The whip directly hit Cai Shuxiang's face.

Li Yanzhao, who was dozens of steps away, felt the whip hit his body, his heart beat wildly in his chest, and he almost fainted to the ground.

And Fei Cun was even worse, his face turned pale, and his head was covered with cold sweat. It was a bit cold, but his back was already soaked.

Snapped!
Snapped!
Before Cai Shuxiang could react, two more whips hit Cai Shuxiang's face.

Get rid of your disobedience, get rid of your rebellion.

Cai Shuxiang's face was covered with blood, and he looked terrified. He never expected that His Majesty the Emperor would treat him so roughly. His mind went blank, and his face was in burning pain.

What made it even more unbearable for him was the huge psychological oppression, like mountains and mountains, which made him breathless.

After three whips, Li Ye threw the whip on the ground.

To this Uncle Cai said: "I have killed you three times because of your arrogance and lawlessness, disorderly government and morality.

I forgive you three more times because of your father Cai Jing, who has devoted himself to the Tang Dynasty and made outstanding contributions. I can't bear to let his descendants die because of you. Let's go! "

Cai Shuxiang was like a walking corpse, he couldn't think, the armored soldiers had loosened their restraints, but he was still standing there.

There must be a heart of disobedience.

According to his father's last wish, he dragged his family to Dongchuan and joined Gu Yanlang. At that time, he had already made up his mind to assist Gu Yanlang in stabilizing Dongchuan.

Court?Is allegiance required?It's not that he didn't think about it. In this world, the first thing he thinks about is to save the family.

Loyal and patriotic!He doesn't have the capital, he is a small shrimp, how can he influence the general situation of the world.

But His Majesty personally conscripted, he originally had this condition, he had no choice, thinking of his dead father, Uncle Cai sighed and knelt down in front of the emperor.

"Thank you Your Majesty for not killing me!"

When I got up, my eyes were red and tears were streaming down my face.

Jing Xiang on the side looked at the emperor, thinking that His Majesty would detain Cai Shuxiang, after all Jiannan Dongchuan Vice Jiedu is also a very good hostage.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty let him go, and after the words, there was a familiar taste, no, why is this way the same as when he first met the emperor.

I don’t talk about loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, I don’t talk about the righteousness of people and ministers, I just talk about your ancestors, how good your ancestors are, how well they understand righteousness, just point at your nose and call you an unfilial son, Disgrace your ancestors.

Jing Xiang remembered that at that time, His Majesty almost wanted to die, the thumb on his foot could forcibly pull out a pool of Taiye in Daming Palace.

"Wait!"

Uncle Cai turned around and saluted, "Your Majesty..."

Li Ye's expressionless face was as deep as the ocean, he knew how to deal with Cai Shuxiang.

"Take all the soldiers you brought back! Go back and tell Gu Jiedu that his younger brother Gu Yanhui lacks discipline. I will take care of him for a few days!"

Cai Shuxiang raised his head and looked at the emperor in disbelief.

Released Dongchuan soldiers?
Are you testing him?

Unlike, the emperor in front of him is full of heroism.

And Jing Xiang at the side heard what the emperor said, and hurriedly stepped forward and whispered.

"Your Majesty, if Gu Yanlang has a different intention to let Dongchuan soldiers go, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort, why not..."

Li Ye waved his hand.

Uncle Cai bowed three times and turned back to the Dongchuan Army barracks.

Not long after, the entire Dongchuan Army set out.

The imperial court did not pursue and watched the group of people slowly walk out of sight.

"Your Majesty, it is not too late to pursue."

Li Ye shook his head and said, "If you want to deal with Dongchuan without using weapons, you can only let them go back."

Jing Xiang was taken aback for a moment, and he recalled it instantly, and couldn't help being awed.

Attacking the city is the bottom, and attacking the heart is the top. Your Majesty has three tastes!
With Gu Yanhui in hand, the court is invincible.

The [-] Dongchuan troops have already seen that the bravery of the forbidden troops of the imperial court is passed on from word to mouth, and everyone in Dongchuan must know about it, so they have lost their morale.

Another point is that Gu Yanhui was seriously ill, and his younger brother was in the hands of the emperor, so he released [-] Dongchuan soldiers, which could convince Gu Yanlang that the emperor would pardon him.

There is hope, Gu Yanlang will definitely not take the dangerous road, this is to stabilize Dongchuan!

　Except for the generals of the imperial court, the other characters in the book are all historical figures, such as the governors of various states, and they have to find the corresponding age and what social relations they have.

　　As for generals, except for Sun Dezhao and Li Yun, the imperial court can't take action. Li Yun will use his pen to describe more later, and he is still a passerby for the time being.

　　Li Yanzhao, Fei Cun, these people, in history, were all killed by Wang Jian in the end.
