Li Ye didn't dare to nod easily when he was unsure of something, but who knew what thunder was buried inside.

In the first year of Jingyun, Empress Wei was in charge of the dynasty. Tubo bribed Yang Ju, the governor of Shanzhou, and submitted a letter to ask Jiuqu, Hexi to be the princess of Jincheng Tang Muyi. The Tang court was in a mess and was busy with a coup, and agreed in a confused manner.

Tubo obtained the Jiuqu of Hexi, which was the junction of Qinghai, Longyou, Sichuan and Shu. It was sweet and greasy, and it was good for people to breed livestock. So based on the Jiuqu land, it rebelled again and invaded in large numbers. Not only was Longyou under its military front, but it also deeply threatened the hinterland of Sichuan and Shu.

Seeing that Li Ye was very particular about his conversation, three points of elegance and seven points of majesticism, he must have been an ordinary person in Ganzhou, "The unknown messenger respects his surname."

"The foreign minister Aduo is now Jie Yujiasi under the tent of Renmei Khan."

Li Ye was sweating all over his forehead and stared at A Duoyu. I don’t know if this guy was deliberately hiding it or if the Uighur name was so difficult to pronounce.

"Since Renmei Khan has this intention, I don't know how many soldiers he can send."

A Duo thought Li Ye had agreed, and looked happy, "There are four thousand Uighur cavalry!"

There are only four thousand cavalrymen, which is optional for Shuofang.

It seems that the strength of the Ganzhou Uighurs is not much stronger than that of Shuofang.

Li Ye changed the subject: "Since Renmei Khan is in the heart of the Tang Dynasty, how can I bear the pain of traveling thousands of miles? A mere city in Lingzhou, the Renmei Khan can be taken by the heroes of the Tang army, and the envoy can see the majesty of our Tang army!"

The messenger looked disappointed and bowed to Li Ye, "The foreign minister received the order."

The tribes near Shuofang, almost all of them came. The Tiande Army in Fengzhou to the north sent a 500-man cavalry to respond to the Tang Ting.

"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty ordered the tribe to destroy the city and give half of the money and grain to the treasury." Xin Silang led a team of personal guards to shout loudly around Lingzhou City.

If you cannot give them political benefits, you can only give them economic benefits.

There must be brave men under heavy rewards.

Although the Tang court was poor and deserted, these tribes were even more poor and became restless when they heard that they had rewards.

Li Ye also wanted to see their combat power and Lingzhou's defense capabilities.

The Tang army in each unit remained unmoved, and used the war soldiers in the auxiliary army as the front drive, and the tribes, to launch a wave of siege.

Hundreds of catapults cast stones to the two southeastern city walls.

Lingzhou has all wood and stones, and the stones are still cut from Helan Mountain dozens of miles away on the west bank of the Yellow River.

The long ladder was just completed, and the tribes were not fools, and they were hesitant.

The auxiliary soldiers were unscrupulous, wearing heavy armor, carrying shields and horizontal swords, and began to climb the city.

For the auxiliary army, this is a rare opportunity. After following the Tang army's combat troops, protecting the food roads and clearing the battlefield, at most, chasing the dead and chasing the north, the military achievements they have obtained are really pitiful.

Seeing the robe of the past rise step by step among the Tang army soldiers, becoming the general, and the commander, many people were holding a sense of enthusiasm.

All the laziness in the past disappeared, and the real military motivation was in front of us, and everyone was desperate.

The injured are treated, the dead are treated, and the disabled can retreat to the second line, and the remaining heat is used, and the family is also protected. The food for living is distributed monthly and the children are trained in the military camp.

Only by not having any worries can one be self-reliant.

The grand storm left over from the Qin and Han dynasties is still flowing in the blood of these Guanzhong children.

Over the past two years, Li Ye has been tirelessly implementing various reward and punishment systems and has begun to become another combat force.

The Dangxiang people in Weibei are also proud of joining the Tang army. After all, such a great benefit is in front of us, and no one is jealous.

The crazy siege of the auxiliary army soldiers stimulated the blood of various tribes. In the northwest, the land of the northwest, whether in prosperous or chaotic times, the killing has never stopped. Every man born on this land is a strong man who has been chosen by heaven. This is the case with the Tang people, the tribes are the same, and the Shuofang Army is the same.

The fierce battle is like a storm.

The fierce cold wind makes the wind and clouds change color.

Blood soon dyed the Lingzhou city wall red, and corpses gradually piled up under the city wall.

A general succeeded and thousands of bones were undone, and the arrival of an empire was also accumulated by countless corpses.

This is the rule of this era. Every tribe is competing for opportunities to survive and reproduce, seizing all opportunities, like wild animals, snatching flesh and blood.

Several times, the auxiliary soldiers rushed to the city wall and were pushed down by the Shuofang army.

Any soldier who picks up swords and guns is very brave.

At this time, the world, from south to north, from east to west, whether it is the grassland and desert, Hehuang and Tubo, or Jiangnan Shu, where will it not fight? Where will it not be killed?

Li Ye has always felt that war is eternal absolute, and peace is short-term relative.

Including later generations, peace can be maintained only if it is strong enough to resist war.

Before the peace in the prosperous Tang Dynasty came, Li Ye could only recast this chaotic era with iron and blood.

"Your Majesty, I will ask for a siege!" Li Sizhou stepped out with a sigh and bowed to Li Ye.

"No hurry." Li Ye smiled slightly, and both sides of the siege were full of energy.

The auxiliary troops were all wearing heavy armor replaced by the Tang army. Although the offensive was frustrated, the casualties themselves were not large. Instead, the tribes wrapped in a layer of cowhide and sheepskin suffered heavy casualties.

Shuofang Jun is not a vegetarian.

Now Zhou Yunyi is guarding Shaanxi and Guo, guarding against Ge Congzhou, Tangzhou.

Li Yun stationed in Tongguan.

Gao Xingzhou and Yang Shihou were in Xingyuan, and they watched the changes in Shu quietly.

Meng Fangtong was also recovering from his injuries in Shanzhou.

There were no first-line generals around Li Ye, only Li Sizhou, Kang Huaiying, Zhe Sili, Ye Li Jingrong and others.

Two hours later, both the offense and defense were exhausted, and several small tribes quietly retreated their tribesmen.

Although the reward is generous, you must have life to enjoy it.

It was just past noon.

The cold wind seemed to freeze the sun without any warmth.

The first day of the battle ended here.

The second day, the third day, and the fourth day still attacked like this, and the auxiliary army soldiers showed that they were not weaker than the regular Tang army.

There are several attacks on the city wall every day, but they are always a little bit short of it and are pushed down by the elite soldiers of Shuofang.

Tribal troops suffered greater casualties.

All the process was witnessed by Aduo Yu.

There was obvious disapproval in his expression.

Li Ye was rejected several times of persuasion to surrender, and even Han Xun's letter was sent up without any news.

"All the auxiliary troops retreated, and the tribal troops retreated." Li Ye's face was filled with evil spirits.

The commander left according to the order.

"Please give me a last chance." Han Xun knelt in front of Li Ye regardless of his illness.

Li Ye said: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve both loyalty and filial piety. I will give you a chance to let Han Zun open the door to surrender, and the old age in Chang'an City can be completed. After an hour, the entire army will attack."

"I thank Your Majesty." Han Xun kowtowed twice on the ground.

"Xin Silang, bring two hundred personal guards to escort General Han into the city to protect his safety."

"The last one will follow the order."

Han Zun was escorted to the city gate by Xin Silang and others. However, Lingzhou City was not opened. Han Zun stood at the top of the city and was surrounded by a group of teeth, with a gloomy face.

"Please open the city gate to welcome the king's army!" Han Xun shouted in the cold wind.

"Open the city gate and welcome the king's army!" The escorted guards followed.

The father and son were watching the battlefield.

The silence lasted for a short time. Han Zun suddenly blew the bow and arrow on the city wall. With a "swoosh", the feather arrow wiped Han Xun's face, "Your Majesty is in trouble, I dare not obey. You and my father and son, today we are ruthless! When we meet on the battlefield, there are only enemies!"

With a "swish", another arrow was nailed to Han Xun's right shoulder.

When Han Zun bent his bow and arrow for the third time, Xin Silang reacted, screamed, raised his shield, and cursed at the city: "The tiger is poisonous and does not eat any children, you are a barbarian and beast!"

His voice was louder, and even Li Ye, who was a hundred steps away, could hear it.

This guy is really having a problem with his brain. Are you scolding Han Zun? Or are you scolding the tribe present?

Fortunately, there were not many tribes gathered in the south city, and these people didn't respond much when they heard it.

"Although Han Zun's move cut off his own way of retreat, he paved a way for Han Xun." Li Juchuan's eyes shined.

Li Ye was stunned and suddenly realized that Han Zun refused to ask Tang Ting to return his son. It can be seen that his father and son are still in love. Now, he played such a bitter plan in front of everyone, but actually made a choice for Han Xun.

At such a close distance, let alone Han Zun, the Shuofang general, Li Ye felt that he could kill Han Xun with one arrow.

Very clever.

None of the people who have become the governors these days are fuel-efficient lamps.

Perhaps Han Zun knew better than Li Ye.

This was the first time Li Ye saw a true father-son deep love. It was rare in such a crazy era as the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties.

Han Xun obviously did not understand his father's good intentions, and was still trying hard to persuade him, but was dragged back by Xin Silang.
