Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 171 The End of the Hero
Suo Xun's force, His Majesty the Emperor has inquired very clearly. When Zhang Huaishen conquered Liangzhou for the second time, Suo Xun was the main force of the Modao Squad. Lose and lose.

His Majesty the Emperor naturally wants to have a strong Modao team.

Back then, during the Battle of Talas, Gao Xianzhi led an allied army of 20 Hu and Han troops, and dared to fight against the [-] cavalry of the Dashi Kingdom. The battle lasted for five days, and the Tang army was not weak, and even had an advantage in some areas.

If it weren't for the temporary defection of Ge Luolu's tribe, which gave Tang Jun a fatal blow in the back, it would not be impossible to wipe out Dashi.

Even so, Gao Xianzhi was able to retreat calmly with more than 20 people, and the [-] Dashi army was frightened by the might of the Tang army and did not dare to pursue them.

At that time, the main force led by Gao Xianzhi was the Wuqian Modao team.

The Datang Modao team is so powerful.

But forming such an army is also difficult. First, soldiers are rare. Among the thousands of troops, there are only a few dozen people who can calmly wield the Modao. Four hundred guan, and the Modao team has to wear heavy armor, and a good pair of armor also needs one or two hundred guan.

Six hundred guan per person, even in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, the Modao team did not exceed 600. You must know that a [-] Modao team would cost [-] million guan, and the annual tax of Datang is not enough now.

Of course, for the emperor, money can be saved slowly, but in general, it is hard to come by.

Therefore, when Li Ye saw Suo Xun, he was like a treasure.

"The last general Suo Xun sees His Majesty!"

"The general's sharp shot, I'm not as good as it!"

"Your Majesty, this..."

Li Ye said with a smile: "The general is brave, the court is employing people, General Suo is willing to serve the Great Tang!"

Suo Xun hurriedly bowed down and said: "The last general, Suo Xun, is willing to die for His Majesty!"

"it is good!"

Li Ye came to Zhang Yanwu brother again.

Zhang Yanwu, Zhang Yanli, Zhang Yanbin, Zhang Yanyi, Zhang Yanxiao, the youngest of the five, Zhang Yanxiao, is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and his face has not faded.

According to the original history, these five people, the youngest Zhang Yanshou, and the six legitimate sons were all slaughtered by Zhang Huaishen's concubine Zhang Yanzhong, and none remained.

Thinking of it, His Majesty the Emperor was also quite emotional.

"Your father, Zhang Huaishen, served the Great Tang army in Hexi, and made great contributions to the court. I will remember it in my heart. I am very pleased to see you. I am willing to be my personal bodyguard!"

"The last will be willing!"

Li Ye nodded, trained well, there were several generals, and he returned to Zhang Huaiding and said, "At the Winter Solstice Court Meeting, I will personally confer titles on you. Zhang Gong Yichao is the title of a loyal county king. It is hereditary and irreplaceable. Fellow practitioners from all over the country..."

Zhang Huaiding's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

Every time the title of the Tang Dynasty is inherited, it will be demoted by one, even the royal family. The prince is the county king, and the county king is the king.The heroes of the founding of the country are no exception.

And His Majesty the Emperor kissed the title of King Zhongyi, and after Zhang Huaiding's descendants inherited it, he would still be the King of Zhongyi, not the Duke of Zhongyi.

"Your Majesty, I... thank you for your grace!"

Zhang Huaiding also sighed in his heart. It is rare for his family to be favored by the imperial court, but after accepting this title, Zhang Huaiding also knew that his father, Zhang Chaoyi, basically said goodbye to the Guiyi Army.

One must know that his cousin, Zhang Huaishen, the current governor of the Guiyi Army, is no more than the Duke of Guiyi.

Are you unwilling?is a bit.But what can be done, after 20 years of wasting in Chang'an, even if Zhang Huaiding returns to Guazhou, he has almost no prestige in the army.

What his father did was amazing!

Of course, this is also what moved Li Ye, Zhang Chaoyi was full of sincerity.

Zhang Yichao came to Chang'an, took away all his sons, completely eliminated his influence in the Guiyi Army, and also erased the hidden dangers of the Guiyi Army. If it weren't for the Huangchao Rebellion, how could Zhang Huaiding and the three brothers return to Guazhou? There is the disaster of the death of Zhang Huaishen's family...

……

Mansion in the middle of the river, the mansion of the Jiedushi of the National Defense Army
"Jie Shuai, the imperial court has added nearly 4 troops to Tongguan, and now there are [-]. It is reported that Zuo Huwei's army and Zuo Shenwei's army will also come to Tongguan these days, and there will be [-] troops assembled in Tongguan."

"What is the imperial court doing?"

"Do you want to be unfavorable to He Zhong?"

An army of [-] will let the river drink a pot.

"It was reported in the imperial court that Prime Minister Zhang Jun played to impeach Prince Wang Gong for his rampant lawlessness. He killed court officials many times in Shanguo territory. He also wanted to revise the record of rebellious ministers and include Prince Gong in it."

Wang Chongying coughed several times, her face flushed red.

"Neichenlu, what is this?"

"Your Majesty's original words are that the rebellious ministers of the country are all described in the book, passed down to future generations, and warned the world!"

Wang Chongying let out a long breath, this is to pour shit on the head of the old Wang family, even if he is dead, it will still stink.

The man acts, one is the beauty of power and wealth, and the other is to leave a name in the history. If his son Wang Gong is listed as a rebellious minister, will he escape as a father? The old Wang family will not be able to lift their heads for generations.

"This is another bastard's idea."

Wang Chongying almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. If he died in battle, he could still accept it. It is really disgusting to get this rebellious record.

But what to do, if he can fight through, he will be fine, but how can Hezhong fight against the whole Guanzhong, and Sanchuan.

"As long as Wang Ke marries Prince Li's daughter, and I will write a letter with Hedong, the court may be able to change its will."

Before he finished speaking, he heard an urgent report from the guard at the door.

"Jieshuai, the ceremonial group sent to Hedong was killed by the river thirty miles away from Fenyang, and all their belongings were robbed."

"what?"

Wang Chongying was so angry and bloody that he coughed again and again, and it took him a while to recover.

"It seems that some people don't want me and Li Junwang to marry Qin Jinzhi."

Gao Sishan, the military officer of the Jiedu Division, said: "Jieshuai, if the imperial court does this, it will be troublesome."

"how to say?"

"The imperial court has gathered heavy troops in Tongguan, the river is uneasy, and they are making trouble with the young master. Now they want to cut off our willingness to form an alliance with Hedong. There is one more thing... humbleness is also difficult..."

"what's up?"

"Marshal Jie, there are many strangers coming and going in and out of the mansions of the various military academies of the National Defense Army. I sent someone to arrest one of them. After interrogation, the other party did not hide that he is the emperor's man. He is lobbying the generals and schools of the National Defense Army to join the imperial court."

"what!"

Wang Chongying was dizzy, and he couldn't resist this combination of punches.

"Is that man still alive?"

"Alive!"

"Lead him up!"

"promise!"

After a while, the guards escorted a person. This person was wearing ordinary coarse linen clothes, and he didn't frown when he saw Wang Chongying.

"Who are you!"

"Wang Kui, the Commander of the Third Yushan Guard School, has met Wang Jiedu."

"Why are you here!"

"Lobbying the generals of the National Defense Army to serve the court!"

Seeing this person holding his head up, he was quite arrogant.Wang Chongying said: "It's refreshing, you are not afraid that this commander will kill you!"

The man said: "Wang Jiedu can try it!"

"This handsome is afraid of you! Someone, drag this person out and kill him."

Just as the guards were about to step forward, Wang Kui smiled and said, "There are seventeen military orders in Yushan. After the lobbyists are exposed, they can reveal their identity. Article nineteen of the Yushan military order. After revealing their identity, if they are beheaded, hehe, Wang Jieshuai is waiting to go up." List it!"

"What list are you on?"

"The death list, the people on the list, the living will be hacked into pieces, and the dead will be smashed into ashes!"

Wang Chongying was stunned for a moment, and coughed again and again. After looking at Wang Kui for a long time, she let out a long breath and ordered Wang Kui to be taken down.
