The First Killer God of the Tang Dynasty

Upon hearing this news, Li Siye's smile froze on the spot.

His brows furrowed tightly.

"That's the Uyghur army's granary."

Although Li Siye looked down on the Uyghurs, they were still one of the important allies and supporters of the Tang army.

Moreover, the Tang Dynasty is currently lacking cavalry, so the Uyghur cavalry can be used to contain the rebel cavalry of the Great Yan.

Without provisions, there is a risk of unrest.

Li Siye stood up abruptly.

He said to Zhang Yang, "Zhang Yang, I can't have dinner with you today. I have to find a way to take back Tuntian Fort. Right now, if our Great Tang wants to fight the rebels, we can't do without the help of the Uyghurs. I can't just stand by and watch..."

As he spoke, he stepped out of the military tent to prepare for battle.

As a result, Zhang Yang suddenly appeared in front of Li Siye and blocked his way.

"No need, General. I have already driven back the enemy and taken back Tuntian Fort."

Li Siye was stunned for a moment, and instead of being happy, he was somewhat angry.

"Zhang Yang, what do you mean? Where are those Uyghurs?"

"They all bravely sacrificed their lives in the battle against the rebels."

Zhang Yang said with a nonchalant expression, as if he were just talking about a few Uyghurs, nothing serious.

However, Li Siye was not only a military general, but also had been an official for many years.

He was all too familiar with the treacherous and deceitful ways of officialdom.

After Zhang Yang said that, he guessed the truth of the matter.

I couldn't help but sigh. Zhang Yang was ruthless. He killed more than a hundred Uyghur and Longwu Army soldiers who were engaged in farming.

"Zhang Yang, you've caused such a huge mess! How am I supposed to clean up your mess?! Every ten days, the military camp goes to collect grain, and there won't be a single Hui person left. How am I supposed to explain this?!"

Since Li Siye had already made his point very clear, Zhang Yang no longer held back.

Instead, he said, "General, you're the one who told me to handle this properly."

"I'm telling you to handle this properly, to build good relations with the Uyghurs, and to seek benefits for the people, not to wipe them all out."

Zhang Yang was dumbfounded.

In my previous life, the officials above me liked to make non-stick pans.

Why are those in power still like this in ancient times?

When Li Siye gave his instructions, he didn't have this attitude.

Just as Zhang Yang was feeling down, Li Siye pulled him back.

He said with a wry smile, "Alright, stop making that sour face. I never said I wouldn't cover for you. But if you don't drink a single bowl of wine today, I'm not going to take responsibility."

Hearing Li Siye say this, Zhang Yang understood.

Li Siye was just trying to scare himself. From the moment he said those words, the other party couldn't possibly ignore it.

Just then, the cooks brought in all sorts of food and wine.

After the two sat down, Li Siye drank wine and asked about the details of the incident.

When Li Siye heard Zhang Yang say that the Great Yan rebels had indeed sent about three hundred cavalry to attack the city, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

"What did you say? Three hundred Great Yan cavalry? You and your forty-odd men repelled them and killed nearly two hundred? Are you kidding me, Zhang Yang?"

It's not that he doesn't trust Zhang Yang.

This matter is just too unbelievable.

It was already quite surprising that Zhang Yang managed to capture Tuntian Fort, which had a hundred men, through his cunning.

As a result, on the same night, they also wiped out two hundred Great Yan cavalrymen.

Could it be that Zhang Yang's men are all cast in bronze and iron?

Even their Mo Dao team might not be able to achieve such a record.

Zhang Yang chuckled.

"If the general doesn't believe me, he can go to Guodu Town and see for himself. I've hung all the corpses of the leaders there on the archway."

Upon hearing this, even Li Siye gasped in shock.

I underestimated Zhang Yang after all.

Zhang Yang knew that his brothers were mostly from rural backgrounds, and the vast majority of them had never even been on the battlefield.

To achieve such a result on the very first try.

There is only one reason: their commander, Zhang Yang, is a genius.

"Brother, I thought you were a brave and skilled warrior, but now it seems your strategy is just as good. You have the flair of Guo Jing."

Guo Linggong, Guo Ziyi, was the commander of the Shuofang Army of the Tang Dynasty.

He was also one of the people Li Siye admired most.

This shows how high Li Siye's expectations were for Zhang Yang.

Li Siye picked up a jar of wine from the table, walked over to Zhang Yang, and filled it for him.

"General..." Zhang Yang said somewhat embarrassed.

"Why call me General? There's no one else here. Just call me Big Brother."

"Big brother."

"I'm pouring you this bowl of wine because I truly admire you and your brothers for your fighting prowess."

In Li Siye's eyes, the Mo Dao team was the best in the world.

Now it seems that if Zhang Yang's team develops, things could get very different.

"Dry."

The two men picked up their wine bowls, clinked them together, and drank them down in one gulp.

"That's good. With the granary under our control, we won't have to worry about the Uyghurs causing any trouble later, or deserting during a major battle. Besides, the Great Yan rebels did indeed raid the granary, so we can give the Uyghurs an explanation."

Upon hearing Li Siye's words, Zhang Yang quickly smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Thank you very much, brother."

Li Siye chuckled and pretended to be angry, saying, "You brat, you've caused me more trouble."

"How could that be?" Zhang Yang said with a smile as he took the wine jar and poured wine for Li Siye.

"Brother, this is what I mean. I'm worried that if the Great Yan rebels suffer such a loss, they will send a large force to attack Tuntian Fort."

"Now you know fear?" Li Siye took a sip of wine and glanced at Zhang Yang.

"I'm not afraid," Zhang Yang continued. "I'd love for them to attack. When that happens, all I have to do is step in and wipe them out. We'll attack from both inside and outside, and they'll never come back."

Upon hearing this, Li Siye's hand, which was holding the wine bowl, froze in mid-air.

Such a scheme was something even he, the great general, had not anticipated.

Zhang Yang is truly a brilliant strategist; his vision is far beyond that of ordinary people.

After a pause, he said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely help you if they dare to make a move. However, they're not stupid, and I don't think this plan will necessarily succeed."

"It's always better to be prepared."

"Hahahaha!" Li Siye laughed loudly as he looked at Zhang Yang's sly expression.

His younger brother is truly unparalleled in his cunning.

Li Siye's smile gradually turned serious.

"Zhang Yang, with your talent, guarding a small fortified village is a waste of your abilities. I have an idea, but I don't know if you have the courage to do it."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang looked up at Li Siye.

"What are your thoughts?"

"I'm sending you to take command of the Uyghur military camp!"
