Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 153 Chopping melons and vegetables
Wang Jian ascended the tower to observe the formation, and saw that Zhu Zhen's troops camped on the main road.

He has experienced battles for a long time, so he can naturally see that this tent may not be easy to attack.When did the imperial court have such soldiers and horses? Two years ago, the most elite imperial army in the Tang Dynasty was Zhongwu Badu, and his Wang Jian's troops were the elite of the Badu.

"strangeness!"

Wang Zongbi said with a smile: "Father, they are all just scumbags. In the end, the general will see that their armor is not bad. After killing these bastards, everyone who is loyal can wear armor."

Wang Jian frowned and said, "Don't be careless."

Wang Zongbi said: "Father Commander has been in the army for a long time, don't you know that a strong army is formed? Father Commander knows best what the forbidden army is like."

Wang Jian thought it was the same, he knew about Li Maozhen's pacification by the imperial court, he thought it was strange at the time, and sent Humane Chang'an to inquire, only then did he know that there were troops from Hedong in the forbidden army.

Wang Jian believed at the time that it was Li Keyong who helped the court to pacify Li Maozhen.

Since the first half of this year, when Zhang Chengye marched into Hanzhong, Yang Shouliang cut off Jinniu Dao, and Zhang Chengye also cut off Baoxie Road, the news disappeared. As for the imperial court's pacification of Tuoba Sigong, Wang Jian didn't hear a word.

At this time, Wang Jian was inclined to fight this battle. The more people want to do something, the more they want to find reasons to convince themselves.

Winning, the benefits are great, the emperor leaves Liangchuan, and in time, Xishu will only be controlled by him alone.

"A strong army, no matter how strong it is, is it as strong as the tiger and wolf division in his hands? The swords and soldiers have never been put down."

Wang Jian shook his head, sighing in his heart when he became so timid, he turned his head to Wang Zongbi and said, "Take all the loyal soldiers, and I will give you the Chongzi battalion. Send troops at midnight tonight, and we must win the battle."

Wang Zongbi was taken aback when he heard about Chongziying. You must know that Chongziying is the only cavalry in his father's command. Although there are only 1000 people, it is indeed the strongest assault force in his father's hand.

"Father, don't you think too highly of them?"

Wang Jian shook his head and said, "Listen to the order!"

"promise!"

……

Western Suburbs of Hanzhou
Just when Wang Jian was arranging the night attack, An Fujiang, who had walked out of the dragon tent earlier, took the emperor's token and ordered the sixth cavalry army to wait for orders. In the city.

After passing the order, An Fujiang returned to the Zuo Shenwei army camp, assembled his army and horses, and moved towards the west gate of Hanzhou. Just as the guards on the tower were nervously preparing for battle, the Hanzhou army lined up outside was puzzled.The Zuo Shenwei army stopped and formed when they were [-] steps away from the west gate.

Zuo Shenwei's army is full of ten capitals, with 1000 troops. They put down the two capitals in Hanzhong, and put down the two capitals in Jiange. Now there are only 600 troops left. Compared with the military administration in Hanzhou not far away, it is a bit inconspicuous.

And the place where they lined up was just right, without stimulating the sensitive nerves of the Hanzhou Army.When the Hanzhou Army wants to return to the city through the west gate, it can block the way back to the city.

As for the Hanzhou army wanting to go back to the city through the east gate or the south gate, let alone think about it. The cavalry six armies, a total of [-] iron cavalry, were staring at each other.

In the dragon tent, Gu Yanhui probably did not expect that His Majesty the Emperor had already murdered him.

The dragon's inverse scales, you will die if you touch it.

Damn it, Gu Yanhui dared to show his teeth to His Majesty the Emperor in front of the generals of the Forbidden Army, many envoys and governors.

He even dared to threaten a group of governors including Yang Shouhou, the governor of Mianzhou, in front of the emperor.

Does it really exist in front of His Majesty the Emperor?

If left unchecked, the emperor's majesty will be demolished.

The ministers and governors under the tent have followed suit, and Liangchuan is bound to have endless troubles.

And Li Ye's prestige in the army will definitely be wiped away.

This demonstration has extremely bad effects.

Frost was on Li Ye's face, and he stood up without anger, walking from the right to the left, one by one.

When passing by everyone, those governors and Jiedu dare not look at them.

No one spoke in the big tent, the air seemed to be condensed, like a fish out of water, it was difficult to breathe.I could only hear my heart beating violently, almost jumping to my throat.

The majesty of the emperor!
Some people shook their heads suspiciously.

His Majesty the Emperor walked around and finally stopped in front of Gu Yanhui.

At this time, Gu Yanhui also felt uncomfortable, looked at Li Ye in disbelief, his eyes clashed in the air, and the scorching breath permeated the surroundings.

The surrounding officials looked at this scene in surprise from the corner of their eyes.

"How dare he?"

"How dare you look directly at Tianyan!"

Cai Shuxiang represented the Jiannan Dongchuan Fanzhen. Although his official position was not high, he was still standing on the right side. He was closest to the emperor, and he was also looking at the emperor intently.

The dignified atmosphere made him suddenly feel very thirsty. The development of the matter had exceeded his imagination, which made Uncle Cai panic inexplicably.

He really wanted to go back to the army, only there would he feel safe, but at this moment, there were many armored soldiers outside the army tent, that could fulfill his wish.

Like a tight bowstring about to break.

Li Ye said normally: "Take it!"

"promise!"

As soon as the voice fell, it was like a dam, which could no longer bear the pressure of the abyss. The flood flooded the sky, the landslides and the ground cracked, and it leaked for thousands of miles.

"Don't His Majesty know that there are [-] troops outside?"

"By the way, there is also Uncle Cai's [-] troops."

"The situation is serious!"

Gu Yanhui bit his lower lip tightly, watching helplessly as he and his generals were bound by the soldiers who entered the tent.He broke free from the shackles of the soldiers on both sides, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I am innocent!"

Cai Shuxiang also stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty is in such a situation, aren't you afraid that disaster will happen in an instant?"

Li Ye looked at Uncle Cai and said, "I remember your father, Mr. Cai, and forgive you for your trespass. If you don't think of your kindness and dare to threaten me, then I will tell you that I am not afraid."

"There is also you, Gu Yanhui, who dares to discuss state affairs in vain. I will help your brother teach you what is loyalty, filial piety, etiquette, and morality!"

Gu Yanhui refused to accept, "I am the governor of Hanzhou, not a commoner, Your Majesty..."

Li Ye laughed back in anger, and said to Cui Anqian, "Cui Sikong, how should the governor be appointed or dismissed?"

Cui Anqian was born in the Cui family of Qinghe, and was dubbed a child prodigy since he was a child. In the third year of Tang Xuanzong's junior high school, Cui Anqian, who was only 21 years old, passed the Jinshi Department.

After Xuanzong, Yizong, Xizhong and today's emperor, the veterans of the four dynasties.

One of the reasons for being brought out by Li Ye is that Cui Anqian served as Jiannan Xichuan Jiedushi for three years during Xizong's reign, and it was quite effective.

In order to guard against Nanzhao, Cui Anqian used the Zhongwu army to train Shu soldiers, and won three thousand soldiers, which can be regarded as a precedent for Shu soldiers in Tang Dynasty to be able to fight.

At this time, Cui Anqian was sixty years old, his hair was half a flower, but his body was very strong. He could eat three catties of meat, and he could control three women at night.

"Your Majesty, the position of governor needs to be inspected by the Ministry of Officials and Yushitai. The emperor discusses with the Zhongshu, Menxia, ​​and Shangshu provinces before making an imperial edict and granting a seal."

Li Ye said: "With these three items, which one do you occupy?"

Gu Yanhui said: "Cui Sikong's words are not complete, and the Jiedu of the world can also be appointed to govern Xiazhou and county officials."

These words hit the court in the face.

Cui Anqian said: "This must be ratified by the court!"

Li Ye said: "Hanzhou belongs to Jiannan Xichuan, so what's the matter with Jiannan Dongchuan?"

All the ministers and workers in the tent also shook their heads. It is true that the government officials have collapsed. It is very common to appoint officials privately at various festivals, but you people from Jiannan Dongchuan captured the prefecture of Jiannan Xichuan and taught yourself the history of governors, which is like a rebellion. .

"His Majesty……"

Li Ye waved his hand.

Uncle Cai was reprimanded by the emperor just now, and now he is still in a daze, and now he is also taken down.

"Everyone, come out and have a look!"

Someone stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, don't take personal risks."

Li Ye saw that it was Tian Fang, governor of Longzhou, who was also a loyal person, and said with a smile: "Tian Shijun, don't worry, I have a hundred spirits to protect my body, and when Tuoba Sigong is calmed down, I will be unscathed. "

Officials from both Sichuan provinces didn't know the emperor's bravery, and only then did they know that Tuoba Sigong, the Ding Nan army, had been pacified.

is that true?

A little skeptical.

They saw it quickly.

After leaving the big tent and walking to the military gate, Hanzhou soldiers are still forming in front of them, but unlike at the beginning, the formation now is obviously uneven, and some soldiers are sitting on the ground disoriented.

"Call Zhu Yezi slave!"

"promise!"

After a while, Zhu Yezinu came to the emperor alone, and said: "Your Majesty, should you go to the battle? The last general's 1000 troops are enough."

Li Ye said: "You lead fifty cavalry to run around the Hanzhou army formation in front."

"promise!"

"Put on armor!"

"promise!"

Not long after, before the Sixth Army of Cavalry, the emperor went into battle with his personal guards on his left and right.

Zhu Yezinu led the army to run around the Hanzhou Army, leaving a light-colored trace. At this time, there was a commotion in the Hanzhou Army formation. The general was not there, and they didn't know what to do. Officials can only restrain soldiers and wait and see.

The emperor had a calm demeanor, and the ministers and workers were worried, but no one dared to speak, and silently watched the movement in the field.

The Sixth Cavalry Army slowly pressed forward. As far as the Hanzhou Army was concerned, they still didn't know what happened.

I saw several people walking out of the imperial army, holding flags on horseback and shouting:
"Put down your weapons and armor, and those who dare to go out of the circle with soldiers without permission, die!"

"Put down your weapons and armor, and those who dare to go out of the circle with soldiers without permission, die!"

There was a burst of noise in the formation, and some people probably guessed what happened, but they didn't dare to act rashly.

There are also some loyalists of Gu Yanhui who probably guessed what happened in His Majesty's Dragon Tent.

"The young commander must have had an accident, and all the soldiers followed me to attack the dragon tent."

A few ignorant generals led their troops out of the circle, and were defeated by Li Ye's cavalry with a single charge, leaving hundreds of heads on the ground.

"The cavalry is so sharp!"

"The army is really strong, and the Hanzhou army is not as good as it is."

Li Ye pulled the reins and stationed his horses, it was boring, compared with Tuoba Sigong's party cavalry, this group of weak chickens was not a little worse, said left and right:

"My general ordered that those who put down their weapons and armor should go out of the circle and not be killed. After a stick of incense, there will still be people in the circle with weapons and armor. The whole army will charge and kill without mercy!"
