After the affairs in Huazhou were settled, Li Ye asked Zhou Yunyi to guard Tongzhou.

Tongzhou is located to the north of the Wei River, connected to Yofang to the north, looking into the river to the east, and less than a hundred miles away from Tongguan. It is an out-and-out strategic location. With Zhou Yunyi here, Li Ye can feel at ease, and let Yuan Jingcheng become his boss when the time comes.

The magistrate of Tongzhou has no worries about his political affairs.

During the entire war, which lasted for fifteen days, Li Ye successively annexed Tongzhou and Huazhou, and captured Tongguan. It could be said that it was lightning fast.

You must know that siege battles these days often last a year or two, and both sides are exhausted.

The biggest reason why Li Ye was able to win was because he was calculated mentally but not intentionally, and he didn't care about martial ethics. He used all kinds of damaging moves and launched a surprise attack.

Tang Ting had been weak for a long time and had been bullied by the three towns in Guanzhong and was unable to fight back. Han Jian would not have thought that Tang Ting would have such strength in just half a year.

After taking down the Zhenguo Army, Li Ye finally felt a little more confident and no longer had to sit on the edge of a knife every day.

Of course, this strength is still not enough in front of Zhu Wen and Li Keyong. There is still a big gap between him and Li Maozhen.

But this is a good start.

When he returned to Chang'an, Li Ye originally wanted to keep a low profile and return to the palace quietly. He was dressed in regular clothes and walked on Zhuque Street on horseback with five hundred guards behind him, but he was recognized somehow.

"Your Majesty is mighty! Your Majesty is mighty!"

First one or two people shouted, then the whole street shouted, and then Chang'an residents poured into both sides of Zhuque Street, "Your Majesty is mighty, Your Majesty is mighty!"

Although it was not so neat, the sound was loud. Someone shouted at the top of their lungs. The white-haired old man and the young boy with yellow hair all followed suit.

Li Ye looked at the enthusiastic people and repeatedly raised his hands on his horse: "The Tang Dynasty is mighty, the Tang Dynasty is mighty!"

His voice is too small alone.

The five hundred guards behind them all shouted in unison: "The Great Tang is mighty, the Great Tang is mighty!"

In an instant, the whole city of Chang'an was boiling.

"The Tang Dynasty is mighty!"

Chang'an needed such a victory so much, and the Tang Dynasty owed the people of Chang'an too much.

Since the Anshi Rebellion, Chang'an has been repeatedly breached. First there were the Anshi rebels, the Tibetan invasion, and the Uighurs plundering the two capitals. Then there was the Jingyuan Rebellion, the Huangchao Rebellion, and the yet-to-be-produced Li Maozhen's attack on Chang'an, and later Zhu Wen's complete destruction of Chang'an.

.

This was a troubled capital city that was let down time and time again by the Tang monarchs.

Now it is in extreme weakness and needs a strong monarch.

The appearance of Li Ye catered to the people's sentiments and gave Baixin a little hope again.

Taizong Li Shimin's words are still clear: Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. It's a pity that his descendants are incompetent.

Li Ye feels that this sentence should be viewed in reverse. Water can capsize a boat, but it can also carry it!

As long as he stands firmly on the side of the people, why worry that the giant ship of the Tang Dynasty cannot sail again?

Wherever Li Ye's horse went, people would kneel to the ground. He didn't like such kneeling, but at this moment he could only accept it.

After coming to this world for almost half a year, he felt that he had changed a lot. Maybe it was because he had followed the Romans, or maybe it was because of his status as emperor.

Too many people's expectations were placed on him.

The ministers of the court were waiting in front of Taiji Palace and bowed to Li Ye one after another.

Han Quanhui's little eyes kept secretly glancing at Li Ye.

Cui Zhaowei seems to have aged a few years.

Cui Yin was more respectful and his courtesy was the most correct.

Wei Zhaodu and a group of senior ministers burst into tears.

According to Wei Zhaodu's wishes, the court should celebrate grandly. After all, it has been almost ten years since there was such a big victory. In the past few years, against Yang Fugong, they seemed to have won, but in fact they lost miserably. They sent troops and efforts, but they did something for Li Maozhen.

wedding dress.

Li Ye didn't agree, but he just destroyed the Zhenguo Army. He was still a hundred and eighty thousand miles away from revitalizing the Tang Dynasty. Now it's too late to hesitate, so how can he be arrogant?

Li Maozhen and Wang Xingyu fought fiercely. After Xingyuan's reinforcements arrived in Fengxiang, Wang Xingyu did not engage in a decisive battle with them, but slowly retreated.

Wang Jian seized the opportunity of the emptiness in Hanzhong, swept through all the states in Hanzhong, and pushed his troops to the foot of Xingyuan City.

Li Maozhen couldn't eat Wang Xingyu in one bite, so he could only hurriedly negotiate a peace with Wang Xingyu and withdraw to support Xingyuan. Han Jian's destruction was like a stone thrown into a deep pool without even causing waves.

Li Keyong was still attacking Li Cunxiao's Xingzhou.

Zhu Wen was attacking his last enemies in the Central Plains, brothers Zhu Jin and Zhu Xuan.

Li Ye chose the best time to swallow the Zhenguo Army in one gulp.

In the Zichen Palace, Han Quanjie, Cui Zhaowei, and Cui Yin all fell silent. They were not stupid and saw that they had been tricked by the emperor.

Li Ye had a harmless smile on his face and said, "Dear ladies, if you have anything to do, please tell me early. If nothing happens, I will go and have a rest."

The three of them looked at each other with suspicion. Han Quanjie, the eldest official, stood up and said: "The Zhenguo army has always been loyal to its duty. Your Majesty's unprovoked sneak attack has broken the trust of the imperial court and all the feudal towns in the world, and it has also done a disservice to your Majesty's personal morality.

"

Li Ye almost spat blood on his face. What does loyalty mean?

Who followed Li Maozhen to besiege Chang'an last time?

Li Ye wondered if Han Quanjie was an undercover agent and had lost his mind. There was only one Chang'an left in the Tang Dynasty. How could he talk about breaking his promise? Li Maozhen, Wang Xingyu, and Han Jian came to kidnap Li Ye at every turn, and Li Ye wanted more

Talk to him about personal ethics?

This eunuch is too bad. He has the same virtues as the public officials of later generations. He does not see the good of the country and is deliberately trying to cause damage.

He was filled with resentment in his heart, but he had a smile on his face, "Han Mangxiang criticized me a lot?"

Han Quanjie rolled his little eyes in a circle and said in a high-pitched voice: "I don't dare. I am completely thinking about your Majesty and the Tang Dynasty. I have absolutely no selfish motives."

Li Ye became angry and said, "Hey, why didn't you tell me earlier that now that Han Jian is dead, what do you think we should do?" Han Quanjie thought for a moment and said, "I thought that this time Wang Xingyu acted rebelliously and asked for

Imperial reward, Qi

The king upheld justice for the court, maintained the face of the court, and sent troops to teach Wang Xingyu a lesson. The court should compensate a loyal person like King Qi. I suggested that the Zhenguo Army should be awarded to King Qi to encourage all the feudal vassals in the world to obey the court."

This guy really dares to say that if he gave the Zhenguo Army to Li Maozhen, why not give him Chang'an as well?

Li Ye was extremely angry. It seemed that the eunuch really had a brain problem, or did he think that Emperor Li Ye had a brain problem?

In fact, Zhaozong did more incredible things than this in history.

Zhaozong was probably deceived by the Qingliu people and dealt with Yang Fugong, the leader of the eunuch party. Yang Fugong fled to Xingyuan on the West Road of Shannan.

Zhaozong ordered Shence's army to attack Xingyuan.

At that time, Li Maozhen's Fengxiang only had two states, which were about the same strength as the Zhenguo Army, so he also sent troops accordingly.

I don’t know what Zhaozong was thinking. He sent troops and provided strength to the seventeen prefectures on the west coast of Shannan. He didn’t want any of them and didn’t fight for them. Li Maozhen became a big fat man in one breath.

Now that I think about it, there must have been a group of people who talked about martial ethics around Zhaozong at that time, who were fooling him all day long. Li Ye stared at Han Quanhui and said, "How about I grant him the title of emperor and save you from having to work hard for him every day?"

I feel sorry for you."

Han Quanjie quickly fell to the ground and said, "I don't dare. Your Majesty has misunderstood me."

Li Ye is really tired, otherwise I would really want to kick him.

They are both eunuchs, so why are they so different from Zhang Chengye?

Tang Ting is well, Han Quanhui is the prime minister. If Tang Ting falls, where will you become prime minister?

Even though Li Maozhen, who is now your brother-in-law, has no use value, can you, Han Quanhui, stand and talk to him?

"Oh, just don't dare, Prime Minister Han, get up quickly, it's cold underground, the Tang Dynasty has declined so much, and we still need all of you to work together to protect the country." Li Ye didn't want to quarrel with him, after all, there are eunuchs and eunuchs these days.

He's also a boss.
