Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 37 Wang Xingyu Wasn't Wake Up
Wang Xingyu went back and forth again and again, and decided to ask His Majesty the Emperor, but he was afraid that he might not think carefully, so he called his left and right to discuss.

Marching Sima Yang Hebiao said: "Marshal Jie, if the court does not have strong support, it will not be able to overcome Li Maozhen. As Marshal Jie saw, Li Keyong will definitely lead his troops to help out. If so, Marshal Jie must go to see him."

"Why!"

"Checking and balancing the ear, the Hedong army is getting stronger day by day, and must be suspected by the court. This is the princes of the court, relying on the ear of the commander-in-chief. When Li Keyong leaves, the commander-in-chief can control the government if he advances, and sweep Fengxiang and Longzhou when he retreats." Right, this is a god-sent opportunity."

Wang Xingyu rejoiced: "Yang Sima's thinking is the same as this commander."

But he sent envoys to ask to see him, to express the king's intention, and to ask the soldiers and horses to move closer to Wannian.

…………

Li Maozhen was arrested, Li Ye breathed a sigh of relief, if this beast was allowed to escape back to Fengxiang, it would affect the whole army again and make a big move.

"Your Majesty, do you want to call the thief general Li Maozhen to have an audience?"

Li Ye nodded, and said, "First pass on the account to all the officers and men."

As soon as the arrangements were made, Huangmen reported again that Wang Xingyu of Pingning asked to see him, and also asked the soldiers and horses he brought to get closer to the imperial army.

Li Ye thought in his heart, there are still such good things.

"Order An Fujiang, the commander of the Zuo Shenwei Army, to let go of the road, let Wang Xingyu's troops come over, and order the marching commander Liu Zhongzhen to choose a place by the west gate wall for the Pingning army to camp."

"promise!"

Xiaohuangmen went to send the order, and after a while, all the commanders and deputy commanders of the armies were all accounted for, all of them showed joy and shouted happily.

"Bring on Li Maozhen!"

Two soldiers escorted Li Maozhen, who was tied up in a big way, into the big tent.

Plop, Li Maozhen took the initiative to kneel down in front of the emperor, very straightforwardly, and looked up at the emperor.

How could Li Maozhen not know His Royal Highness Shou Wang a few years ago, Li Maozhen didn't even pay attention to the cowardly younger brother who was beaten by Tian Lingzi with a whip and didn't dare to say a word.

But now, he almost didn't know him anymore, he behaved well, restrained and powerful.

Li Ye also looked at Li Maozhen, and said, "Li Maozhen, are you convicted?"

"My minister is guilty!"

"Since you are convicted, come and behead the leader of the bandit, Li Maozhen, at the gate of the army!"

Li Maozhen's expression froze, and then turned pale.It's not that he didn't guess this result, it's just that the situation is imminent and he still can't accept it.

He hurriedly broke free from the left and right, knelt in front of the emperor, and shouted: "Your Majesty, the minister has contributed to the country, and the minister has contributed to the country?"

Li Ye didn't say a word, and waved his hand to signal the knife and axe, and dragged Li Maozhen out of the big tent. According to the original history, this person, who was enshrined as King Qi and King Qin, was as miserable as an ordinary person when he died.

He was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, feces and urine poured out, dragged all the way all over the ground.

For Li Ye, Li Maozhen must die. The prestige of the court needs to be picked up by successful rebellion again and again.

The real scene, more or less, touched the soldiers in these big tents. Some soldiers were from the original Shence Army, and some of them knew Li Maozhen.

Li Maozhen, who was invincible at the time, is now being dragged away like a dog.

This is the fate of rebelling against the court.

Naturally, Li Ye would not miss every opportunity to brainwash his soldiers.

Not long after, Li Maozhen's head was put in a wooden box and sent to the big tent.

Li Ye said: "Where is Niu Bin, the Commander of the Right Dragon Cavalry?"

"The end is here!"

Li Ye pointed to Li Maozhen's head and said: "Lead the people in the department, hold this head, pass it on to Fengxiang, Longyou prefectures, prefectures and counties, and make a list to inform the people. Those who are willing to surrender will not be blamed by the imperial court. Those who are unwilling to surrender will be met by the imperial court." Send troops to fight rebellion."

"promise!"

Li Ye thought for a while, and then said: "Commander Niu, don't disturb the common people."

"promise!"

Zhu Yezinu, the commander of the Zuowu cavalry guards, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, why do you need to send the leader to force you to surrender? The last general is willing to lead his troops to sweep away Fengxiang and Longyou for your majesty."

Seeing that General Hedong spoke first, the other generals were naturally unwilling.

"The last general is also willing to go."

"The end will be willing to go."

Li Ye secretly said: "Why are you joining in the fun!"

Zhu Yezinu was full of fighting spirit, Li Ye saw it clearly at a glance, the old problem of the Hedong army had committed again, and at the moment of this great victory, he wanted to rob Fengxiang and Longyou again.

What the imperial court needs is a living Fengxiang and Longyou, not a piece of dead land.It is natural to attack by force, but now Li Maozhen is dead.

Even if there are Li Maozhen who are loyal and do not surrender, there will be changes in the long run, and those who want to follow as cannon fodder are few after all.

Since there is a chance to recover Fengxiang without bloodshed, why use swords!
"Commander Zhu Ye has done a lot of hard work. He should rest and recuperate his soldiers and horses. I can't bear to work far away."

With great achievements, naturally Zhu Yezinu's face would not be refuted, but Zhu Yezinu's proposal was also politely rejected.

Li Ye thought to himself that Taizong was not as open-minded as Taizong, and he was instinctively wary of Zhu Yezinu, the general of Sha Tuo.

Li Ye said again: "Where is the commander of the left dragon cavalry guard, General Wu Zhan, and the commander of the right military cavalry guard, General Qi Ming?"

"The end is here!"

"Each lead the troops of the headquarters and gather the routs along the way, and those who surrender will not be killed.

Those who do not surrender, those who harm the common people, and those who gather together to bandit will all be killed without mercy. "

"Leader!"

"Zhou Xian, the commander of the Zuo Shence Army, and Zheng Xin, the commander of the Zuo Longwu Army, order you two to lead the troops of the headquarters and guard the prisoners. They will be recruited after the people from the Ministry of War have screened them."

"Leader!"

Li Ye sent someone to report the victory to Chang'an again, the princes of the court may have to wait in a hurry.

After finishing the arrangement, he smiled and said to the generals: "This time when we used troops against Li Maozhen, the soldiers were quite brave. I am very relieved. After returning to the division, each of them will naturally be rewarded!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

At this moment, the Huangmen newspaper, Wang Xingyu asked His Majesty to see him.

Li Ye was overjoyed, but he didn't express it on his face. Since Wang Xingyu entered the army camp, he naturally had no reason to get used to him, so he let him go first.

Li Ye asked the general who had just taken orders to retreat from the tent, and then dismissed the left and right servants.

He said to the rest of the generals: "Every commander, I ordered all the generals to wait for the generals and officers of Pingning to leave the stronghold. The soldiers surrounded the Pingning army and did not attack. decision."

"promise!"

All the soldiers left the big tent, and the internal guards entered the tent again. Li Ye declared to see Wang Xingyu.

The original owner of Li Maozhen had seen it in his memory, and this was indeed the first time Wang Xingyu had seen it.

Wang Xingyu is quite tall and majestic, with a dark complexion and a full beard, and wearing bright armor, he looks quite fierce.

Wang Xingyu bowed with half his body and said: "The last general Wang Xingyu has a stomach in his body, please forgive me for not being able to fully salute!"

Li Ye looked at Wang Xingyu and said to himself, "The old thief has been imprisoned without knowing it, and he is still putting on airs."

He couldn't help laughing and said: "The general said it is very true. He is already in the army, so there is no need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Ye said: "Aiqing is loyal to state affairs, and sent troops to help me put down the rebellion. I am very relieved. Come, all captains, colonels, and generals of the Ning army of Xuan Fing entered the stronghold. I will reward the generals face to face."

The more Wang Xingyu heard it, the more he felt that it was not good. He had been in the army for many years, and he was vigilant. The court pulled out all the generals and officers in the army. Wang Xingyu couldn't help thinking about what he wanted to do.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible!"
