Li Ye saw Yang Xiuyuan's extremely distressed look and realized that he was really worried about himself.
I feel warm in my heart.
It seems that the emperor sent him here to investigate, actually for his own benefit.
At least this person is fair and just and would never deliberately frame himself.
In addition, he dressed up specially and did not come to investigate in disguise.
He is indeed conscientious and worthy of the emperor's trust.
Li Ye smiled and said, "Lord Yang, don't worry. Just report it to the emperor. In fact, even if you don't come to investigate, I will report this matter truthfully."
Yang Xiuyuan was very surprised when he heard this, and asked quickly: "Your Highness, are you really not afraid of the emperor's blame?
Even if you are thinking about the people and are short of money, your actions will definitely not be tolerated by the court, and all officials will impeach you together.
Having made such a huge mistake, even the Emperor might not be able to save you."
Li Ye smiled and said, "Sir Yang, if you trust me, could you please come with me for a walk?"
Although Yang Xiuyuan was very confused, he also believed that Li Ye would not trick him into a remote place and kill him.
After all, he had made a special trip to Jialing Pass before coming here.
The third prince also knew where he was coming from.
If he dares to do such a bold thing, even the emperor will never let him go, and will punish him severely no matter how much he likes him.
Otherwise, you will not be able to keep pace with the world, nor with the entire court.
Yang Xiuyuan thought of this and was not afraid at all. He replied, "Why not? Your Highness, please lead the way."
"Bring two good horses here. I want to show Lord Yang around."
Soon someone brought over two horses.
Li Ye personally handed a horse rein to Yang Xiuyuan and said, "Master Yang, please."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Yang Xiuyuan took the reins and jumped onto the horse.
As soon as I sat on the horse, I could clearly feel that the muscles on its back were very strong.
Although I am quite heavy, I didn't feel any strain when sitting on the horse.
It can be seen that this horse is very strong.
I couldn't help but exclaim: "What a good horse."
Li Ye introduced the horse: "This is a warhorse captured from the barbarian army. It is not an exaggeration to say that it can travel a thousand miles a day.
With these war horses, we will no longer be afraid of fighting the barbarians head-on."
When the battle was mentioned, Yang Xiuyuan remembered the purpose of his visit and asked curiously, "Your Highness, it is said here that more than 130,000 enemy troops were killed. I just came from Jialing Pass and heard about this from His Highness the Third Prince.
To be honest, I still don't quite believe that Jubo could kill so many enemy soldiers. Could you tell me how this battle was fought?
"That's no problem, let's just talk while we walk."
Yang Xiuyuan nodded: "Your Highness, please."
Li Ye rode his horse and brought him to the place where the battle took place. Although they had passed by for several days, the open space in front was covered with blood and the soil was dyed red.
You can clearly smell the blood as you walk over.
Yang Xiuyuan could already feel the strong murderous aura and could imagine how fierce the battle was at that time.
Seeing the many spots on the bricks of the city wall, he knew that all of these spots were shot by arrows.
"Could it be that the fight took place here?" Yang Xiuyuan asked.
Li Ye nodded and replied, "That's absolutely right. We were able to win the battle because we used many strategies to confuse the enemy."
"At the beginning, the enemy army was only 30,000 strong, and we relied on crossbows and the city walls to defend it with all our might.
He also often pretended to be defeated and unable to defend himself and retreated to the city, and then sent out cavalry to launch a surprise attack, killing many enemy troops under the city.
We tried our best to recapture the city twice in a row, letting the enemy know that we were at the end of our rope.
Finally, he simply gave up the defense and put all the enemy troops into the box.
There are many houses in the village, which can be used to hide our soldiers and attack the enemy by relying on favorable terrain.
My plan now is to lure all 30,000 enemy troops in, and then surround and annihilate them.
But they didn't expect their 100,000 reinforcements to arrive at the critical moment. They had no choice but to let them go.
Because I heard that the barbarian army sent many people to the interior to plunder the people, before the battle, I asked General Zhao Wudi to lead all the cavalry to intercept them.
Since I was surrounded by a large number of enemy troops, General Zhao received the news and immediately rushed to support me. Later, I boldly assumed that as long as we could hold on to the defense, the enemy would throw more troops and attack with all their strength.
If all the enemy troops abandoned their horses and joined the siege, wouldn't that be a great opportunity for us?
Therefore, I quickly sent someone to intercept General Zhao who was coming to support us, and asked him to wait nearby and listen to my signal.
It was exactly as I had guessed. Under our desperate defense, the enemy's army of over 100,000 men abandoned their horses and joined the battle.
㱗At the most critical moment, let General Zhao launch a surprise attack from the rear.
After losing their war horses, the barbarian army is just like this.
Under General Zhao's all-out attack, the remaining 10,000 or so people, led by the Barbarian King, fled in panic.
We attacked from both sides and killed all the remaining enemy troops. That's how we won the battle.
With hundreds of thousands of war horses, we are qualified to compete with the enemy.
Later, the Jin and Khitan alliance invaded again, but we easily repelled them."
After listening to Li Ye's story, Yang Xiuyuan was extremely shocked.
As a prince, he led the newly trained recruits to defend against the fierce barbarian army.
You can be brave and fearless.
You can imagine how tragic the battlefield was at that time.
What huge damage will be caused to both sides.
At this moment, he couldn't help but admire Li Ye's boldness.
He stood in awe when facing Li Ye.
It was truly incredible that a prince's performance far surpassed that of a battle-hardened general.
Put yourself in danger and use yourself as bait to attract the enemy to attack.
This courage alone is unmatched.
Suddenly, I remembered that Li Ye actually sold the captured equipment to the enemy country.
This made Yang Xiuyuan really unable to understand.
You already have such a good future, why did you make such a big mistake.
After Li Ye finished speaking, he took him into the room.
"Master Yang, please come with me."
Yang Xiuyuan interrupted his thoughts and spurred his horse to follow.
Jinmoko was shocked when she saw the scene inside.
There are neat rows of houses, all built with blue bricks.
The house is covered with red tiles, which makes it look very beautiful.
Not only are the streets straight and wide, but the ground is also paved with large blue bricks, which looks very neat.
There was a "click-click" sound as horses walked on the road.
It makes people feel particularly comfortable listening to it.
"The house in this yard..." Yang Xiuyuan finally couldn't help but ask.
Li Ye explained to him: "These houses are distributed to the people living in this area.
Anyone who is willing to move here will get a yard like this.
And based on their farming ability, they will be allocated at least 30 acres of land.
"Two years of living here is enough to live very comfortably."
Yang Xiuyuan was deeply shocked by the scene before him.
It has only been a short time since then, and they have built such a magnificent house.
Such a nice house is definitely something that only the rich can afford in Beijing.
He didn't charge a penny and distributed all of it to the people for free.
Yang Xiuyuan finally understood why Li Ye worked so hard to make money.
It is hard to imagine how much money it would cost just to build these houses.
