Chapter 28 You are useless
Cao Zhongming's eyes were covered with blood, and even breathing was extremely difficult. This was not only because Li Ye was stuck on his neck, but also because the spiritual energy in his body ran around everywhere and was no longer under control, and all the internal organs were traumatized. The injuries were aggravated at every moment, and the meridians might break at any time and all cultivation was lost.
Cao Zhongming's eyes gradually became full of fear when he looked at Li Ye, just like seeing a god. He originally thought that when he reached the real world of cultivation, he could fight with Li Ye, and he had Wei Bo's army, which was enough to defeat Pinglu army. However, he did not expect that Wei Bo's army was defeated first, but now even Li Ye is underestimated by him.
Just now, Li Ye's palm was not hit by the front, and he could not understand the irresistible power contained in it. At this moment, Cao Zhongming had no fighting spirit. If Li Ye was just a little stronger than him, he would still have the intention of jealousy and the idea of overturning the other party. But Li Ye was much stronger than him, so much that he had no chance to fight at all. At this time, he only had despair.
Cao Zhongming already knew very clearly that he had no capital to compete with Li Ye at all, and now he even had to rely on the other party to give alms to his life.
Cao Zhongming said with difficulty: "I am willing to give up Beifangbo and Beizhou to present it to Your Highness... Can Your Highness let Wei Bo go?"
"Bo, Bei Erzhou? Cao Shuai is such a big deal!" Li Ye sneered.
Cao Zhongming's breathing became more and more difficult, and he felt that he might die at any time. The spiritual energy in his body was destroying his body all the time. If Li Ye kept jamming his neck and maintained the action of using the spiritual energy to rush his meridians, he would die immediately.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, I am willing to give Weizhou out too... No, I just want your Highness to give me the land of two states so that Wei Bo can still survive! Even if it is a land of one state... I am willing to order other states and counties to surrender!"
Li Ye looked at Cao Zhongming with a cold look: "Cao Shuai, is your head broken? Do you think you still have room to bargain? You might as well tell you directly that even if you don't give an order, the Lone King can use your seal to issue these orders for you. What qualifications do you think you have to tell me about the conditions?"
Cao Zhongming was full of despair, as if he was falling into the abyss, his eyes began to turn white, but he was still trying hard: "Your Highness, save my life, I am willing to be loyal to Your Highness. I am... the realm of the realm, which will be useful to Your Highness..."
"Real Person Realm?" Li Ye's face did not have any emotional fluctuations. "In the eyes of the Lone King, a real person in Lingchi is nothing. Haven't you already experienced it deeply?"
"District... I am willing to pretend to surrender to the prince of Longxi, lure the opponent's troops to come, and create an opportunity for your highness to set up an ambush..."
"Do you think Li Keyong is as stupid as you, and will believe you at this time? Don't be stupid Cao Shuai. You are useless now. Now you are ordered, the Lone King is in a good mood, which can make you feel more comfortable."
Cao Zhongming's eyes gradually faded, his face was filled with horror and despair, "Why... Why... Your Highness, why is he unwilling to let Wei Bo go, let me go..."
Li Ye looked at him with murderous aura in his eyes: "It's very simple. Starting from the ears of the envoy of the Lone King, you Wei Bo, your Cao family, and you Cao Zhongming, there is no possibility of continuing to exist in this world. The Lone King wants to borrow your head and tell the world that you can't afford to hurt me!"
Cao Zhongming was cold all over and his face was ashes. His life had never been like this, full of powerlessness and regret.
Li Ye jumped down from the roof and carried Cao Zhongming step by step into the Political Affairs Hall.
In the strong wind, the eaves and walls of the Political Affairs Hall were half destroyed, leaving only half of the ruins. When the injured generals and officials saw Li Ye coming in, they all retreated, their eyes full of horror and fear. They watched Li Ye walk to the main case like a dead dog, carrying their governor, and they dared not speak out, and they didn't even have the courage to escape.
Everyone felt the oppression of the arrival of the doomsday, and they were so uncomfortable that they could not bear it. They were still insulting Li Ye just now, but now they regretted it, and their faces were bloodless.
After throwing Cao Zhongming at the desk, Li Ye glanced at the generals, and casually clicked on two aides, saying without any doubt: "You are planning to write a military order to let Wei Bo army lift its armor and surrender. You, prepare the seal of the governor and ask you Cao Shuai to sign and seal it!"
The person who was named was shocked and did not dare to delay for a moment. He quickly followed the order.
Cao Zhongming lay on the desk tremblingly, looking like a stray dog, and there was no previous majesty. He was determined not to sign the order, but he did not dare to disobey Li Ye. At this moment, even though he knew that he would die, he still wanted to help Li Ye and help Li Ye take Wei Bo into his pocket. This feeling is indescribable.
Li Ye glanced at everyone and smiled slightly: "You are all famous officials of Wei Bo. If you want to survive, after Cao Shuai's order is signed, you will take the lead in executing it. The Lonely King believes that everyone here is smart and knows what to do. The Lonely King can ride alone into the Weizhou City Jiedushi's Mansion, and the Lonely King will naturally go there as much as you want. If you do it so that the Lonely King is dissatisfied, the Lonely King will not mind going to your house to ask for a cup of tea."
When the generals and officials heard this, their expressions changed slightly. Even the true man of Lingchi could not pass by in front of Li Ye. Even if they asked many people to protect their families, they would probably be useless. Even if they stayed in the military camp, they might not be safe.
But there are also people who have always been brave and seldom to die. They cannot recognize the situation and feel that Li Ye has only one person and cannot chase them all. At this time, they exchanged glances with each other and prepared to leave here and then make a long-term plan.
But at this moment, Li Ye suddenly shouted: "Yoda Niao!"
Yoda Niao, the Nine-tailed Fox, Su Emei and others, as the highest cultivation presence under Li Ye, naturally followed Li Ye this time, flew from all directions and landed beside him with his orders.
Three great monks, one Yang Shen Zhenren, and two Yin Shenren, immediately appeared, and they emitted the pressure of cultivation without reservation. Everyone present changed their faces and knelt on the ground one after another.
The Holy Son twisted his shoulders and grinned, "From today on my name, Song Qianshu, the name Yoda Niao is so indecent."
"It's up to you." Li Ye said lightly: "Remember the faces of these people. If they don't act according to Cao Shuai's orders, they will dare to fight against me, Pinglu Army, and I will leave it to you to deal with in the future."
Shengzi spread his hands: "A small matter."
The generals and officials lay on the ground and looked at each other. Even the brave and savage death were the ones who were completely restrained at this time and did not dare to have any thoughts of causing trouble. After all, not being afraid of death and dying are completely different things.
After the staff wrote the order, Li Ye asked Cao Zhongming to stamp it with a big seal and sign it. After doing this, Cao Zhongming collapsed on the ground, lost his soul, as if his whole body had exhausted his strength.
He raised his head in despair and looked at Li Ye. Seeing Li Ye looking at the military order with a smile on his face, he seemed to be in a good mood. A glimmer of hope suddenly arose in his heart and prayed: "Your Highness, you are a person destined to achieve great things. The Tang Dynasty will surely revive in His Highness's hands, and even reappear the scene of Kaiyuan prosperity! Your Highness, you are so noble, why should you be as knowledgeable as a little person like me? I have done everything you asked me to do, and it is useful to keep me. I can make Wei Bo listen to you. If I kill me, someone will inevitably be dissatisfied. Your Highness..."
Li Ye glanced at Cao Zhongming and smiled: "What Cao Shuai said makes sense."
Cao Zhongming was overjoyed, and a fire of hope rose in his eyes: "Your Highness is willing to spare me this time?"
Li Ye's smile remained unabated, "I don't want to."
"Your Highness..." Cao Zhongming's whole body froze, his face full of confusion.
Li Ye waved his hand, and a stream of light flashed, and the spiritual wind blade flew across Cao Zhongming's neck.
Cao Zhongming's head fell from his shoulders, rolled on the ground, turned around for a few times before he could stop, with an unbelievable look on his face. He refused to believe it until his death, and Li Ye was so cruel and ruthless.
"The head of Wei Bo." Li Ye glanced at Cao Zhongming's head, "It's useless to keep you. The Lonely King accepts Wei Bo, and there is no need to borrow your prestige. The Lonely King's own prestige is enough."
Withdrew his gaze, Li Ye sent the order down and looked into the night sky from the ruins with his hands behind his back, "From now on, there will be no Wei Bo Jiedushi in the Tang Dynasty."
......
The six states of Weibo were captured by the Pinglu army. The other five states were occupied by the Pinglu army after Li Ye advanced straight into Weizhou. Not long after Li Ye drove straight into Weizhou, they were all occupied by the Pinglu army.
Of course there are battles here. Some prefectures and counties are not willing to be merged, but under the fierce offensive of the Pinglu Army, they basically did not last for more than three days. When encountering difficult cities, Li Ye asked Yoda Niu and others to directly kill the opponent's main generals. Without the leader, even the brave army would be in a low morale.
Subsequently, Li Ye wrote a letter to Li Yan, suggesting that Wei Bo Jiedushi be abolished and the six prefectures of Wei Bo were transformed into direct prefectures directly under the court. It is said that it was directly under the court, but now Li Ye is in charge of Shandong, which is the subject of him.
As expected, the court agreed with Li Ye’s report that reducing the vassal states was to strengthen the court’s behavior, and the court had no reason to oppose it.
Next, when Li Zhen and other civil officials showed their power, they rectified the six prefectures of Weibo in accordance with Li Ye's model of recovering Pinglu. They killed corrupt officials, investigated evil officials, eliminated the large households of prefectures and counties that did evil, and redistributed the confiscated land and houses, so that the people had houses and fields.
After doing all this, the atmosphere in the six states of Weizhou was boosted, and countless people turned to Li Ye.
In the future, there will be specific governance, including the construction of farmland water conservancy, the distribution of seeds and tools for land reclamation, the collection of refugees, the issuance of new political laws and regulations, the abolishment of heavy taxes, etc., further enhance Li Ye's prestige in Wei Bo and consolidate Li Ye's rule over Wei Bo.
As for the Wei Bo army, after the war, there were only less than 100,000 left. Li Ye had no intention of using these arrogant soldiers and generals who had become so bad. After careful selection, only one or two thousand people were left, and the rest were broken up by him and distributed to various prefectures and counties for military farming, which was managed uniformly by the local government.
With the official team trained by Pinglu, Li Ye replaced half of the officials in Weibo’s six prefectures, and countless Pinglu officials were promoted to the position and were in charge of the rule.
Soon, Li Ye's cultivation level rose again and again.
After the Pinglu demon crisis was pacified, Li Ye had already won the hearts of Pinglu people and his cultivation had already made progress. Now he has been vigorously rectifying the administration of officials, stabilizing order, and benefiting the people in Weizhou. His cultivation has reached the threshold of Yangshen Zhenren. After all, Weibo is much richer than Pinglu, and his population is more prosperous.
At this point, the improvement of cultivation will slow down in the future. Those people who do not return to their hearts immediately will not return to their hearts for a while, and need long-term governance.
When Li Zhen and other civil officials were showing off their strength in Wei Bo, the Pinglu Army did not stay for much. In just one month, after stabilizing the order of various prefectures and counties, they gathered again and prepared to advance to Zhaoyi and go straight to Hedong. Of course, the army also left a small number of prefectures and counties stationed there.
On this day, Li Ye took Su Emei, Youda Niao, the Nine-tailed Demon Fox and others to leave Weizhou and flew into Zhaoyi.
"The governor of Zhaoyi has five prefectures under his rule. In terms of wealth and military strength, they are not as good as Wei Bo, but they should not be underestimated. Moreover, because Zhaoyi is adjacent to Hedong, he may have contacts with Li Keyong and may have the possibility of joining Li Keyong."
Li Ye walked through the clouds and said to everyone, "After the battle of Wei Bo, the beheading plan was proved to be feasible. After capturing the Zhaoyi Jiedushi, the Zhaoyi Jiedushi would have no leader, and the army would have a smoother battle. Before attacking the city, he took the heads of the main generals defending the city, which was also the only way to win quickly. Although doing so would be unfavorable to the growth of the army, it is important to fight Hedong at the moment, and this time we can ignore these things. But before that, we must first determine the attitude of the Zhaoyi Jiedushi."
