Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 99 Such an Emperor

Li Ye nodded, he was not as good as Zhu Zhen in specific battles, this matter was still up to Zhu Zhen to decide.

"Your Majesty, no cooking is allowed for today and tomorrow. Tonight, soldiers need to be sent to collect water from the Luoshui River."

Li Ye didn't understand what was going on, so he looked at Zhu Zhen.

"Your Majesty, the army is nearly 2, and the horses are nearly [-]. There is a lot of movement. If there is no cooking, there will be no smoke and fire exposure. The water is only used to wet the ground where the horses are stationed. Otherwise, the dust will fly and the army will be exposed."

Li Ye nodded. I really didn't expect these details. It seems that there is still a lot to learn, so I quickly agreed.

But after Zhu Zhen said this, she didn't leave, with a hesitant expression on her face.

"General Zhu, it's okay to say something if you have something to do."

Zhu Zhen made a cruel heart, and said: "Your Majesty, the battle is imminent, please give me a reward!"

Li Ye's heart skipped a beat.

This is the difference between the newly attached army and the army trained by ourselves.

The army trained by the imperial court and the families of the soldiers are all under the imperial court. The imperial court can use preferential treatment in policies to smooth things over, and can set rewards after the war.

But in Zhu Zhen's army, most of the officers and men were lonely and widowed. They didn't expect the emperor to provide comfort to their families, but only wanted to see real money.

Li Ye expected that this was not Zhu Zhen's act of coercing the palace, he was also coercing and helpless, there was no reward, maybe it would be very difficult for him to control the troops by himself.

"The general thinks it deserves a big reward!"

There are more than 1 people in the area, and Li Ye is not afraid of how many rewards. What is afraid is that the armies will compare with each other, what is afraid is that the trend will become popular, what is afraid is that if there is a war in the future, the army will come to the battle to ask for rewards, it will be endless .

At this time, Li Ye was also helpless. Since Zhu Zhen brought it up, it might be too late to suppress it, and it was time to solve it.

Even if it is poison, you have to swallow it at this time.

"The last general thought that ten punctures were enough, and in order to encourage the soldiers to kill the enemy, every time they got a head, they would be rewarded with another five punctures."

Li Ye did not hesitate, and said: "I agree, General Zhu, follow me to the camp to have a look."

"promise!"

The weather in late spring was still a bit cold, and at some point, it began to drizzle. The so-called camp tents of the soldiers were not just simple wooden frames covered with a thin layer of sackcloth.

Three or five soldiers leaned on their spears and lay down, no one spoke, it seemed that everyone was saving some energy for tomorrow's big battle.

Some people were eating dry food, cold pancakes, and cold water.

A depressive atmosphere enveloped the entire army, and in the calm, it made people crazy and restless.

Li Ye saw that several tents were isolated, and there were soldiers holding hands outside.

Quickly asked: "What are you doing here?"

Zhu Zhen said: "Your Majesty, here are all sick soldiers, and the generals will be isolated for fear of infecting others."

Li Ye wanted to enter, but was dissuaded by Zhu Zhen: "Your Majesty, wind and heat are contagious, please take care of the dragon's body, Your Majesty."

Li Ye shook his head. The so-called wind-heat is just a fever, which is mostly a bacterial infection. In this day and age, it can kill people.He looked outside, and found that the conditions of the sick soldiers were the same as those outside. They were just a few wooden shelves covered with a layer of cloth to keep out the wind, but the rain could not be stopped.

"Move my dragon tent inside, and let these soldiers live there."

In this world, people are not as good as dogs, so how can soldiers be better?

"His Majesty!"

Li Ye waved his hands and said: "After all, my dragon tent is covered with linoleum, so it's okay to keep out the rain. These soldiers are already weak around them. If it rains again, I'm afraid it will be bad!"

The behavior of His Majesty the Emperor has been refreshing Zhu Zhen's cognition, whether it is for show or other things, sharing joys and sorrows with the soldiers, the secret of this is the three flavors of military training.

"General Zhu, look, I have no place to live now, so I can only ask the general to take me in for a night."

"Your Majesty, I am ashamed to be the last general."

His Majesty the Emperor, everyone is paying attention, and the location of the dragon tent is naturally the focus of the army's attention.

When all the soldiers saw that His Majesty gave up the dragon tent to the sick soldiers, they were all filled with emotion.

Sun Dezhao thought in his heart: "Your Majesty loses one account, but receives the hearts of the whole army. You are truly a mighty master."

Those ordinary soldiers who were drenched in the rain felt very warm in their hearts. Putting themselves in their shoes, no one can guarantee that they will not get sick or get injured.

If His Majesty the Emperor can do this, it means that he has them in his heart, and he doesn't regard them as the same as rotten shit.

Then the emperor promised a reward, and the whole army was encouraged. This is the most practical thing. One person who participated in the war was ten guan, and if one head was cut off, it would be five guan.

If it weren't for the strict silence in the army, these soldiers would have shouted long live on the spot.

Yang Shihou has been following the emperor. As the deputy commander of the emperor's personal guards, what he is most worried about at this time is that he will not be able to fight the enemy.

"It's useless for me to have some skills, but I'm at His Majesty's side."

In Yang Shihou's view, it is impossible for His Majesty to fight in person. As a bodyguard, he naturally has to protect the emperor's surroundings.

"If you can't make meritorious deeds, how can you get meritorious deeds."

Yang Shihou hesitated again and again, but still couldn't hold back.

"His Majesty!"

Li Ye wondered, "Master, is there something wrong?"

Yang Shihou half-kneeled and saluted: "The last general is willing to be a pawn and charge for His Majesty, please allow His Majesty."

Li Ye looked at Zhu Zhen and said with a smile: "The guards around me don't want to guard me anymore, how lonely and pitiful I am!"

Zhu Zhen said: "Your Majesty is surrounded by warriors, I will congratulate Your Majesty at the end."

Zhu Zhen's eyesight is naturally not bad, Huo Cun, Ge Congzhou, Li Si'an and other famous generals were all promoted by Zhu Zhen first.

The Yang Shihou in front of him is hulking, his eyes are sharp, and he walks quite imposingly. It looks like he is proficient in martial arts and brave. As long as he is trained a little, he must be a fierce general.

Zhu Zhen could tell Yang Shihou's lower limit at a glance. As for the upper limit, even Zhu Wen had missed it at the time.

According to normal history, Zhu Wen wanted to use troops against the thirteen prefectures of Jingxiang a few years later, so he ordered Yang Shihou, the yamen at that time, to lead [-] yamen troops as the forward, and Zhu Wen led [-] troops to follow up.

Then...then nothing happened to Lao Zhu.

With 3000 troops, Yang Shihou was invincible, all the way to pacify the thirteen prefectures of Jingxiang. It is really the so-called killing gods when meeting gods, and killing Buddhas when meeting Buddhas.

Zhu Wen led [-] soldiers and horses, and followed Yang Shihou to eat ashes all the way. In the end, Yang Shihou led [-] yamen troops, took [-] prisoners, and reported victory to Zhu Wen.

Naturally, Li Ye cherished such uncut jade very much, and expelled Yang Shihou out of the tent with a "Get out!"

Zhu Zhen saw it in her eyes and envied her in her heart.

How many people can make the emperor swear unscrupulously? His Majesty the Emperor treats Zhu Zhen very politely.

Be polite, there is respect, but there is also a distance!

Zhu Zhen sighed in her heart, this person is so simple in the emperor's heart, I'm afraid his day is not far away!

"Your Majesty, rest!"

Li Ye nodded, doomed to have no sleep tonight!
　Ladies and gentlemen, ask for votes, ask for votes.
