Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Yes and no!

Suddenly, an idea flashed through Guo Ye's mind. Could it be that His Majesty Li Er had inserted people into the White Lotus Cult early on, and then just sat back and let them collude with the Guanlong family in the south? This time, the master is famous, and the Guanlong family, a special class that has been around for more than three hundred years, is completely expelled in one fell swoop?

If this is the case, Guo Ye is completely afraid of His Majesty Li Er.

Didn't Yu Shinan say it in the memorial?

Every time the army of guardians of the White Lotus Cult conquered a city, they smashed, looted and looted property, shot and killed those who did not join the cult, and even massacred the city.

How many people will die in this way?

fifty thousand?One hundred thousand?

Even hundreds of thousands?

I grass!

If this is the case, His Majesty Li Er regards all people in the world as straw dogs, and is an out-and-out conspirator and executioner.

Do not!

Guo Ye would rather believe that this is a fake!

"Guo Qing, Li Qing!"

His Majesty Li Er woke up Guo Ye, and said in a deep voice: "I named Li Qing as the Chief of the Lingnan Road Marching, and Li Qing as the Chief of the Guangnan Road Marching, and the two of you will send troops to the south to suppress the rebellion. How about it? We must send troops to wipe out the White Lotus Cult, uproot the Guanlong family in the south, restore life to the violent riots as soon as possible, and let the people in the south live a peaceful life earlier."

Before Guo Ye could make a statement, Li Jing was the first to express his opinion: "Your Majesty, the old minister is fine, but the old minister hopes to requisition Lu Guogong Cheng Yaojin and Yi Guogong Qin Shubao."

Guo Ye was slightly taken aback, His Majesty Li Er was also extremely surprised, and asked in puzzlement, "What's the reason for Li Qing? I still want to put Yao Jin and Shu Bao under Guo Qing's account."

"No, Your Majesty." Li Jing shook his head and said, "Lu Guogong and Yi Guogong are both veterans in the battlefield, and their qualifications and experience in the military are far more than that of Guojungong? Convincing the public?"

Speaking of this, Li Jing glanced at Guo Ye with deep meaning, and then continued to say to His Majesty Li Er: "Since Guo Jungong is going to take up the post of chief officer of the Guangnan Road Marching, he must have a few pioneers and garrison officers who can command him like arms." General? Veteran generals are not suitable to be called by Duke Guo!"

As soon as Li Jing said this, His Majesty Li Er understood, and Guo Ye also understood.

His Majesty Li Er couldn't help laughing, shook his head and sighed: "It's because I was negligent and confused. I didn't think of this joint, and I also ignored the feelings of Yao Jin and Shu Bao."

Guo Ye glanced at Li Jing gratefully. His Majesty Li Er only understood Li Jing's meaning at the first level, while Guo Ye understood the second level. Li Jing transferred Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao and others to his own subordinates. In addition to worrying that Guo Ye is too young to convince the public, he has another purpose.

That is to make room for Guo Ye's subordinates, so that he can hurry up and recruit the group of confidant generals back then.

Pang Feihu...Kang Bao...Ruan Laosan...and that fatty Zhu who was in charge of money and food.

Immediately, Guo Ye bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, what Duke Wei said is very true. I have little qualifications. If you transfer Lu Guogong, Yi Guogong and others to my account, it will be wronged to these seniors. Therefore, I have a ruthless minister." Please, I hope His Majesty will grant you!"

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and said: "Tell me, as long as it is about the matter of raising troops to the south to suppress the rebellion, I will approve it one by one!"

"Thank you, Lord Long En! I want to dispatch a few more handy old parts from various places to ensure the victory of the southward rebellion!"

"Well, it's just a trivial matter. Guo Qing made the list and handed it over to Li Qing, asking him to issue an official document in the name of the Ministry of War to send these people back to Chang'an as soon as possible."

"Here!"

"Old minister obeys!"

Chapter 1033

An official document from the Ministry of War was sent to Tuyuhun day and night at a speed of [-] miles a day.

Within ten days, Pang Feihu, Kang Bao, Ruan Laosan, and Zhu Fatzi returned to Chang'an one after another, and gathered in the Pingyang County Government House in Taipingfang.

After more than a year, the reunion of old friends and old clubs is naturally a different feeling in my heart.

Guo Mansion, in the back garden.

The afternoon sun was charming, and it shone warmly on everyone, making people feel more lazy after dinner.

Guo Ye asked his servants to brew a pot of tribute tea from His Majesty Li Er, and shared it with Pang Feihu and others.

After a few rounds of tea, everyone picked up the topic again and chatted with great interest, talking about the gossip and little interesting things they had been defending the city in Tuyuhun these days.

At this time, Guo Ye was lazily leaning on the recliner, squinting his eyes and smiling, listening silently, he was definitely a very good listener.

Ruan Laosan had just finished telling a story about when he was defending the city, when he suddenly heard Fatty Zhu slap his big fat leg hard, and exclaimed: "Look at my memory, I almost forgot to tell my little brother One thing. Little brother, just when our brothers left Tuyuhun Road, I heard that Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, committed suicide by drinking poisoned wine the night before. Do you think this is evil? This county prince was in Tuyuhun , but you bullied our brothers a lot, look at it, how can you say that if you die, you will die!"

Guo Ye didn't change his expression when he heard the words, and secretly said, Qian Niuwei's movements were quite fast, a secret decree to bestow death was issued, and Li Xiaogong said it would be gone.

Kang Bao, who was sitting next to him, echoed Fatty Zhu's reminder, "It's fortunate that Fatty Zhu mentioned this, otherwise I would have really forgotten it. Li Xiaogong is not a thing. Before, little brother, you sent someone to The message said that we should follow his instructions, and I felt awkward for a while."

"Yes!"

Pang Feihu also sighed softly, and said: "Li Xiaogong didn't say anything about marching and fighting, but he was too unkind in winning people's hearts. In terms of military pay and food, he has never given a full amount. He will definitely deduct two points. One point will be deducted without being soft-hearted."

"No!" Ruan Laosan also said with righteous indignation, "I think back then, the rations and salaries of the wild wolf army under our respective command were often deducted by him. Fatty Zhu has been in charge of the food and supplies of the wild wolf army, and he has the most speech right."

Going around, the introduction of these words returned to Fatty Zhu.

Fatty Zhu spat hard on the ground, and said angrily: "Damn, even the eight-ox crossbows we brought over from Sichuan were requisitioned by him. These eight-ox crossbows are rare items, Li Xiao As soon as Gong heard that my supply camp had this thing in his hands, he immediately thought of a way to requisition it. Up to now, these eight-ox crossbows are still in his hands. This is a fool, and he will never know about his death. Who did you ask for it?"

"Alright alright~"

Guo Ye sat up leisurely from the reclining chair, waved his hand and said: "Death is the most important thing. Since Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, is dead, then the ashes return to the ashes, and we don't have to blame people behind our backs. Eight The ox crossbow is not something of great value, if it is gone, it will be gone."

After all, he glanced at everyone and asked: "I think you must have seen the official document of the dispatch order sent by the Ministry of War this time. In addition to dispatching a few of you to my Guangnan Road Marching Chief Accountant, the Ministry of War also allows You allocated 1000 people from your respective wild wolf armies to serve as the skeleton for forming a new battalion, and you were also allowed to temporarily promote your subordinates in the wild wolf army to temporarily take over from your garrison in Tuyuhun. This is unprecedented in the past. It can be seen that the emperor's kindness is mighty, and Li Weigong is also very considerate."

Pang Feihu nodded and said: "Don't worry, little brother, we only dispatched a thousand old soldiers from the wild wolf army under our respective command to Chang'an to form a new camp. As for the promotion of the garrison generals who will replace us, they are all our own old men. The ones who follow you from my hometown in Longxi are the old subordinates when Xichuan Xiaodu Protectorate was formed. These people will never do anything ungrateful."

It was Pang Feihu who understood Guo Ye's thoughts, and his words immediately relieved Guo Ye's worries.

That's it!

Guo Ye nodded with a smile on his face and said: "That's good. This time, the imperial court asked me to serve as the general manager of the Guangnan Road Army to form the Guangnan Road Army to fight the rebellion in the south. Therefore, in addition to the 1000 troops you each brought, the imperial court also They will draw about [-] troops from me, and I can almost form four new battalions to make up one guard. Fortunately, the [-] soldiers and horses are all from my father-in-law Huo Guogong Chai Shao's old team, so they are commanding the march. There will be no obstacles. However, with the qualifications of the few of you, for the time being, you can only lead a new battalion with the rank of guerrilla general. That is to say, if you come to me, you can only attack the city and rush forward. As for If you want to be promoted, it depends on your military achievements to speak."

"Of course!"

Kang Bao patted his chest, and shouted loudly: "If we were greedy for life and afraid of death, we would not come to Chang'an to follow you, brother-in-law. Besides, our brothers came here for this time to suppress the rebellion and earn military merits. Hey, Staying in Tuyuhun all day guarding a bird city, there is no war and no banditry, when is it possible to get promoted?"

Ruan Laosan and Pang Feihu nodded again and again, echoing yes, yes, expressing their agreement with Kang Bao's statement.

Only Fatty Zhu glanced at Pang Feihu and Kang Bao, and then at Guo Ye.

Guo Ye noticed Fatty Zhu's twitching, and asked with a smile: "Old Zhu, you can ask whatever you want, do my brothers still use these twists and turns?"

Fatty Zhu sneered, pointed at the three of Kang Bao, and said weakly: "Brother, you said that the Guangnan Road Army has formed four new battalions, Feihu, Lao San, and Kang Bao are all good at commanding troops in combat." The tiger generals who charge into battle, but I will take care of the supply battalion, escort the food and grass, and take care of the logistics for you. If you let me also lead a battalion to attack the city and pull out the stronghold, will it miss your big business, brother?"

As soon as Guo Yejing reminded him, he was suddenly dumbfounded. Yes, Pang Feihu and Kang Bao each commanded a battalion. Whether it is the experience of leading troops in battle or the style of horseback, it doesn't matter.And if Fatty Zhu wanted to lead a battalion to charge the battle, it would be almost meaningless.
