Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 249
The imperial imperial army and Wei Bo's army merged and killed quite a few people. Looking at Wei Bo's army camp, it is very stable, and there seems to be no change!

Is Wei Bo so talkative now?
After suffering a big loss, they don't necessarily make a fuss. Looking at their camp, it seems that they are not too defensive against the imperial army.

Strange, strange!

"From the beginning to the end of this matter, let me know the truth!"

"promise!"

The sentry will report to Li Keyong what they have inquired about, in every detail.

The more Li Ke heard it, the more curious he became.

Kang Junli was a little worried and said: "Since our Hedong Army and Zezhou Army entered Xuanwu, most of what they have used in the army has been obtained by looting places. The emperor's move is probably to kill chickens to scare monkeys, and he intends to be in Hedong?"

Li Ke frowned slightly.

Gai Yu shook his head and said: "Jie Shuai doesn't know something, this is a humble thing, it's a common thing."

Li Ke asked curiously, "Why?"

Gai Yu said: "I heard that the emperor is familiar with the Five Classics and respects Confucianism and Taoism. When he was King Shou, the name of sage has already been spread.

Confucianism, the benevolence of women, when the emperor first came to the throne, he ignored the military situation and insisted on beheading the Shence army who looted, and it was even worse when he sent troops to Fufang. To be assigned as a slave, to behave like this, to fight against Wei Bo, is also to be expected! "

Li Keyong nodded, frowned slightly, and said: "If the Hedong Army is to do the same, what should we do?"

Gai Yu laughed and said: "Jie Shuai can ask the court for food. If the money and food can be allocated, why should our soldiers in Hedong bother to loot? If not, will His Majesty want to watch our Hedong army starve to death?"

Li Keyong thought it was reasonable, and praised: "Gai Sima's words are very in line with the king's heart, so let's do as you say, go, and enter the city."

"Jie Shuai, the imperial court has issued a strict order that soldiers and horses from all towns are not allowed to enter the city. The imperial court has set up a camp for our Hedong army and ordered us to enter the camp and garrison troops."

Li Keyong was a little displeased, but seeing that the soldiers and horses of all towns were stationed outside, he didn't have much opinion.

All the fighters were stationed outside the city, and the Hedong army didn't make any effort. Instead, they asked to enter the city, but Li Keyong couldn't say it.

In fact, what His Majesty the Emperor told Li Keyong from beginning to end was all in the name of revenge for him.

Now the emperor has fulfilled his promise and avenged Li Keyong. During the whole process, the Hedong army was in Wangmandu, and was beaten to the ground by the Bian army. The rest didn't even catch up.

This made Li Keyong, who had always been proud and arrogant, quite ashamed, and felt that he bowed his head before His Majesty the Emperor.

At this time, the Hedong army was brought into the camp, and the court sent a large amount of horse meat, wine and food, which was very rich, and the soldiers did not feel left out.

The angel stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty has set up a banquet, please King Li Jun and all the generals in Hedong must come to the banquet tonight!"

"My king will go there!"

The same is true for the rest of the armies. Thousands of horses died in today's battle. It was June and the heat was unbearable, and the horse meat deteriorated quickly. It can be distributed to all the troops for food.

The emperor gave wine and food again to tie the hearts of the troops.

After arranging the troops to eat, drink and live, according to the usual practice, Li Ye came to the barracks of the Zuo Yongwu Army.

The barracks where the Zuo Yongwu Army is currently stationed is the original barracks of the Xuanwu Zuoya Guard Army, all brick and wood barracks, the conditions are the most favorable, they deserve this condition.

There are more than [-] soldiers in the whole army, less than [-] were left in the First World War, and nearly half of them were lost. Almost everyone took the rest, and the chief general Fu Cunshen was no exception. There were seven windows on his body, especially the one on his back. The knife wound was about three inches long, and the flesh was turned outwards, which was quite glaring.

In this era, medical means are limited, and medical officers can only perform simple sutures.

Clean the wound with distilled water, sterilize the silk thread and needle in boiling water, suture it up, and apply Jinchuang medicine.

Cotton cloth is also useful now. After being boiled, it is exposed to the sun as gauze to cover the wound.

So, as for whether it will be infected, it can only depend on God's will.

Li Ye paid great attention to Fu Cunshen. He saw that the armor that Fu Cunshen took off was torn to pieces, and there were traces of knives and axes everywhere on the armor, which showed the fierceness of the battle at that time.

"Looking at this armor, I still feel the general's bravery at that time. I have a love, so why worry about the uncertainty of the world!"

"His Majesty……"

Li Ye took off his bright armor and said, "I will exchange this armor for the general's remnant armor. I will enshrine this remnant armor in Yu Zhonglie Temple, so that future generations can worship and remember the general's contribution to helping the country!"

"Your Majesty, how can the last general He De be so kind to His Majesty!"

Li Ye waved his hands and said: "The first thing to do is to rest and recuperate before the interrogation, I still have important matters to entrust to you in the future!"

Fu Cunshen nodded and said, "No!"

Li Ye stayed in the Zuo Yongwu Army for two or three hours, and all the officers and men comforted him, especially Zhang Yanli, the Commander of the Three Capitals, at this moment he didn't have the jerky appearance he saw half a year ago.

Zhang Yanli is the son of Zhang Huaiding, the Jiedu envoy of Hexi. When the Zuo Yongwu Army became an army, he was arranged by Li Ye to join the Zuo Yong Army and serve as the commander of Sandu. After the battle of Zhang Cunjing and the bloody battle of Bianliang, he has grown up now. , Between every gesture, there was naturally a sense of bravery.

"The final general has seen His Majesty!"

Li Ye nodded.

"Your father should be proud of you."

"Your Majesty..." Zhang Yanli was frequently reprimanded by Zhang Huaiding when Zhang Yanli was in Guazhou, and now he couldn't hold back any longer, weeping, "Without Your Majesty's grace, there would be a final general today!"

Li Ye was very pleased when he heard this.

…………

Li Yun led Niu Cunjie, Wang Qianyu and others to Qi Ming's army.

The emperor's personal guard came here, Qi Ming didn't dare to trust him, so he greeted him personally.

Hearing that the emperor defeated the Bian army, all the generals were happy, but Li Cunxiao was depressed.

The main force of the Bian army has been completely broken, and now they are coming to recruit Ge Congzhou again, so there is no chance of making great achievements.

Qi Ming smiled and said to Li Cunxiao: "The world is still uncertain, Commander Li He Chou has no chance to make meritorious deeds!"

After speaking, he sent someone to escort Niu Cunjie to Bianjunzhai.

At this time, Ge Congzhou was discussing with Wang Zhongshi in the tent, and the army was too slow to move forward, and the two were quite annoyed. There was not enough food and grass in the army, and the longer the delay, the more disadvantageous it would be.

Suddenly hearing that Niu Cunjie and Wang Qianyu came from the imperial army, both of them were surprised.

Niu Cunjie is a veteran in the army, and Wang Qianyu is also a brave general in the Bian army. Both of them are important figures in the Xuanwu army. How did they come here?

Is it?

Ge Congzhou and Wang Zhongshi looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, so they didn't say much, so they hurriedly asked them to enter the account.

"General Niu, General Wang, why are you here?"

Niu Cunjie looked bitter, and said: "I came here just to tell you that the Xuanwu Army is over, and Commander Jie was killed by Liu Han!"

"call!"

Both Ge Congzhou and Wang Zhongshi looked pale, and asked anxiously, "How is Bianliang City?"

Niu Cunjie said: "The city was broken. Fortunately, the emperor was benevolent and righteous. He didn't embarrass my family members. I heard that when the city was broken, Wei Bo's army was in turmoil, and hundreds of people were killed by the emperor..."
