Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 190 Let's fight, Cai thief!

Li Ye repeatedly compared the strength of the two sides, and felt that the stud at this time had a great winning rate.

The right Shenwei army and the Hedong Feiteng army bypassed the Cai thief's forward and placed them behind to prevent the enemy's reinforcements.

Zuo Huwei Army, the Sixth Army of Cavalry, and Li Siyuan's [-] elite cavalry from the east of the river, will definitely have no problem eating the [-] vanguard infantry of Cai thief Zhang Mi.

The question now is how to bring in the Hedong Army.

Jingxiang's suggestion to Li Ye is to lure each other with property.

Li Ye nodded, and said to Jingxiang: "Aiqing, go and discuss with Li Siyuan. My bottom line is 20 guan and [-] pieces of silk. The condition is that the Hedong Army will help me wipe out the Cai thief Qin Zongquan."

"promise!"

His Majesty the Emperor did not choose to talk directly with Li Kexiu. This negotiation also has skills. When the two bosses touch each other, they each say the bottom line. Once the words are dead, the negotiation may collapse.

It would be disrespectful to ask the emperor to lower his face before making a compromise, so Jingxiang and Li Siyuan could only be allowed to talk through the two megaphones.

Not long after, Jing Xiang returned and said: "[-] guan coins and [-] pieces of silk, Li Kexiu agrees to send troops, but he has one condition."

Li Ye relaxed his mind, as long as he can send troops, it doesn't matter if he agrees to a less important condition, and said, "What condition?"

Jing Xiang said: "The captives all return to Hedong!"

"This……"

Li Ye's expression changed, he never expected that Li Kexiu would make this request.

Jing Xiang said: "Your Majesty, the Feiteng Army itself is composed of surrendered soldiers, and the battle damage is almost negligible. If it is supplemented with Cai's captives, it is bound to be huge."

Li Ye shook his head and said, "What Aiqing is talking about is the pacification of Qin Zongquan, or this battle."

"On this battle!"

Li Ye said: "Eighty thousand Cai thieves, even half of them are prisoners of war, there are still 4 people. Although Cai thieves are cruel and inhumane, they are all old soldiers in the army..."

His Majesty the Emperor is deeply worried.

"Tell Li Kexiu that I can give him half of the soldiers, but I also have a condition, Zheshandu will give me 1000 people."

Jing Xiang looked at Li Ye and said, "Zheshan Capital? Is it the capital where Fu Cun is?"

Li Ye nodded.

It's not that Li Ye doesn't give Fu Cun the opportunity to lead the army, but if he is randomly assigned a military position, Fu Cun, who is in his twenties, may not be able to hold the corner of the formation. With his own team and some additional soldiers, His Majesty the Emperor will immediately have a strong army.

Jing Xiang nodded, knowing that His Majesty would hold the amulet in his heart, and said: "I will go now!"

After Jingxiang left, Li Ye asked Zhu Zhen and Gao Wenmin, "How many slaves are there in the Jingyuan Army?"

"There are two thousand slaves in Zuo Huwei's army!"

"There are three thousand slaves in the You Shenwei Army!"

Li Ye pondered for a while, and said: "Tell these soldiers that if they are willing to kill the enemy for the country, I will forgive their crimes. After this battle, I will not blame the past."

"promise!"

……

The Jingyuan army slaughtered the southern city of Fuzhou in Fuzhou. The emperor was furious and slaughtered all the generals and schools of the Jingyuan army. More than 3 soldiers were all tattooed and sent into the army as slaves.

The old, weak, sick and disabled stayed in the Chang'an army, or raised pigs, while the strong naturally followed the army as hard labor.

"I don't know when it will be a head these days!"

At the camp of the You Shenwei Army, Ying Jun heaved a long sigh and said to Liu Yuzi next to him.

Before he finished speaking, a whip was slapped on his face.

"No talking, get to work!"

None of these people was uninjured. In the past, the Jingyuan army did not treat others as human beings, but now, they finally realized the experience of not being treated as human beings by others.

Compared with those working in the army, they are undoubtedly more miserable. The atmosphere in the army is depressed, and the soldiers who have nowhere to release them often use them as punching bags.

There are even people who are willing to die rather than continue to live in hell.

When they heard His Majesty's edict, the Jingyuan army slaves erupted.

"I would rather be stabbed than stay here as a dog!"

"It's been a year, and it's finally here!"

The angel continued: "Your Majesty asks you, do you know that you are wrong?"

"I know I was wrong!"

Can you know what's wrong?If they did it all over again, they would definitely not do such a thing. This punishment is unbearable.

A total of more than 5000 Jingyuan army slaves had no armor or weapons.

His Majesty the Emperor ordered meat to be cooked, and these beggars had already forgotten what meat tasted like, and devoured it hungrily.

Li Ye watched from a distance with Fu Cun.

"The capital of Zheshan is coming, and I will give you this group of slaves. I will gather the weapons and armor. I will give you a month to help me train a strong army."

"His Majesty……"

"Can you?"

"Yes, the final general will train a strong army for His Majesty!"

Jing Xiang was a little worried, and looked for an opportunity to say to Li Ye: "Your Majesty, Fu Cun first followed Li Hanzhi and then Li Keyong. Now Your Majesty puts this person by his side and gives him military power. If something happens, what should I do?"

Li Ye shook his head and said, "I believe him!"

Who is Fu Cunshen, there will be no groundless rumors in the history books, he also has a son, who is also a five-generation master, and he has never betrayed him in his life.

Besides, trust belongs to trust, and there must be some precautions. Yushan's personal guards have long arranged people to mix in, if there is trouble, how can they hide it from the emperor's eyes.

That's the case with Fu Cun for the time being. It is reported that Zhang Zhen's [-] forwards have camped three miles north of the city, and Qin Zongxin's rear army is twenty miles west of the city, and is marching towards Luoyang.

"Want to break my food path!"

There are two food roads for the Luoyang army, one is to go out of Shanguo, enter Hangu Pass, and enter Luoyang from the west, and the other is to go through the river, enter Luoyang from the north through the Mengjin Pass ferry.

Li Ye raised his account immediately, and this time he negotiated the conditions with the Hedong Army, so Li Kexiu and Li Siyuan were naturally called to the scene.

His Majesty the Emperor personally arranged the task.

There are some adjustments to the missions of each army this time.

The left Huwei army and the right Shenwei army were sent to Peiqiao Village to block the enemy's reinforcements, and the main force of the attack was naturally placed on the Feiteng army of the Hedong army.

Li Kexiu looked at His Majesty the Emperor with resentment, but Li Ye ignored him.

His Majesty the Emperor spent money and promised conditions, but he would not be polite. If you want to use it, you should use it to your death, otherwise it will not be a loss. Of course, His Majesty the Emperor will not do it too impersonally, and hand over Wang Rulin's four thousand cavalry to Li Kexiu's command , to see the blood.

"My four thousand cavalry are all new recruits, so don't use them for the charge, or you may miss the time of the army!"

His Majesty the Emperor said to Li Kexiu earnestly. Li Kexiu looked at Li Ye and nodded helplessly.

Li Ye was still worried, and asked Wang Rulin, "If Li Jiedu orders you to charge into the formation, you will not be ordered to do so!"

"Promise!" Wang Rulin wouldn't want to. Wouldn't it be better if he didn't have to die.

As for Li Siyuan's more than 1000 rampaging cavalry, His Majesty the Emperor directly held them in his hand. Together with the Sixth Cavalry Army, there were nearly [-] cavalry in total. .

Come on, Qin Zongxin, let's fight!His Majesty the Emperor is full of confidence!
