Liangzhou City.
The city was empty. Aside from a few Tang soldiers who had surrendered, the merchants and civilians had long since evacuated.
The news of the war had been spreading since ten days ago, and the ordinary people had naturally fled.
After all, Liangzhou City was a border city. It had only become slightly more stable after the war with Western Liang ten years ago.
However, now that the war had started again, the people had all fled to the surrounding cities.
Due to the long journey and his contempt for this battle, Li Jing's troops were still on their way from Yunzhou.
But at this moment, the city was already broken.
There were still many people who had not left Liangzhou City. When they saw the tall and mighty Western Liang cavalrymen enter the city, they all looked panicked.
"Everyone, listen up. Search for the Tang soldiers who are still hiding in the city and have not surrendered.”
"In addition, the king has ordered that it is forbidden to slaughter civilians and unarmed people.”
A cavalryman in front said to the Western Liang cavalrymen behind him.
"Understood!"
Then, the cavalrymen divided into small teams and began to search for the hidden Tang army in Liangzhou City.
On the streets, the people who were originally trembling and at a loss were all stunned.
Originally, they all thought that they would not have a good ending.
Western Liang was the territory of the Outsiders. The fighting had almost become a blood feud!
Every time the flames of war were ignited, it was bound to be mutual exchange, and the ones who suffered were the border people!
However, at this moment, with such a disciplined army, the people left in Liangzhou City almost thought that they had heard wrongly!
"Is this an order from the Xi Liang King?"
"Won't our lives be affected?”
"The heavens have mercy! We don't have to run anymore!"
"Those damn fellows abandoned the city and fled. I didn't expect us to survive!”
In just half a day, many people suddenly appeared in Liangzhou City.
Many of them had fled halfway or had gone out to lay low for a while. The news of Li Ye forbidding people from disturbing the people spread like wildfire, and many people returned one after another.
Gradually, Liangzhou City returned to normal as if there had never been a war.
Only on the plains outside the city gate, fresh blood bore witness to the beginning and end of this battle.
Black Blue City, in the palace of the Imperial City.
"Reporting to my king, Liangzhou City and the surrounding areas are under our control. All the Tang army rebels have been wiped out, and the rest have fled.”
"Currently, 5,000 elite infantry have been arranged to guard Liangzhou City.”
"There's good news from the west. The commander led his troops to break through the Tibetan Dantang City. There are only 200 casualties!”
"The Great Commander is currently advancing southwest, and his target is the Heaven High City of Tubo!”
The reporting official was excited. As the news came out of his mouth, the other ministers were also excited.
It had been ten years!
Ever since the king ascended the throne, they had been intimidated by Li Ye's iron-blooded methods.
Then, Li Ye explained his plan to the officials.
Cultivate and recuperate, conceal one's strength and bide one's time!
More than half of these people were from the Central Plains, which meant that they came from the Great Tang, while the other half were natives of Western Liang.
In the second year after taking down Xiliang, Li Ye had sent people to secretly issue recruitment notices, secretly recruiting talents from the Great Tang, the Turks, and the Tibetans!
Now, with the good news coming one after another…
All his forbearance was worth it!
The name of Western Liang would spread from this moment!
"Report! Reporting to my king, General Xue Gui ambushed the Turks in the north and defeated twenty thousand of them. The Western Turks have been scared out of their wits and have retreated into the depths of the steppe!”
At this moment, another soldier hurriedly ran in and shouted as he ran.
"What?"
"General Xue has defeated the Turks!"
"Oh my god! Is the Western Liang Kingdom about to rise?"
Hearing the discussions below, Li Ye couldn't help but laugh. He said,""Well done. Go and receive your reward first!”
Xue Gui was originally the Vice City Lord of a small city on the border of the Great Tang.
However, Xue Gui, who was far away from the emperor, had been persuaded to come to Western Liang by the recruitment order.
You asked who Xue Gui was?
Indeed, he was not famous, but he had a ten-year-old son named Xue Rengui!
"Pass down the order. Tonight, the entire city will celebrate and hold a banquet. Other than the necessary guards, the rest can not return until they are drunk!”
"When Commander Xiang and General Xue return, we'll hold another banquet!”
With so much good news, Li Ye couldn't help but feel excited.
……
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for conquering Liangzhou City. Reward: Character Card-Sun Bin!”
"Ding! Congratulations to user for taking down Dantang City of Tubo. Reward: 10,000 soldiers of the Wei army at its peak!”
After returning to his palace, Li Ye opened the system impatiently.
Looking at the reward that he had just received, Li Ye looked at the Character Card without hesitation. His face was filled with excitement.
God knows, do you know how much I want a strategist?
"Use your Character Card!"
If you have good things, you have to use them. You definitely won't keep them for the new year!
"Ding! Sun Bin is on his way!"
The system's voice remained calm, but Li Ye was surprised."Can I ask how he got here?”
This guy has some leg problems. Should I go somewhere to pick him up?
"Sun Bin will arrive in two hours. Host can ask him personally…"
