The First Killer God of the Tang Dynasty

Just then, the Uyghur king spoke with a look of dissatisfaction.

"I don't care who he is, he occupied our Uyghur settlement, and he has to return it!"

The Uyghur king had an arrogant and domineering demeanor.

Li Siye glanced at the Uyghur king and sneered.

"Yours?"

"The imperial court granted you the military settlements so you could focus on preparing for war. The people of Guodu Town were farming for you free of charge, and they even had to pay you taxes on their own land. What have you done? You slaughtered an entire village, acted arrogantly and domineeringly, and you think I know nothing about it?!"

Thunder's fury startled the Uyghur king, who swallowed hard.

Li Siye continued, "Since you can't govern Tuntian Fort properly, I think you should just hand it over."

The Uyghur king wanted to refute, but then he heard Li Siye speak.

"However, don't worry, they will still supply you with the necessary food and fodder, ensuring your logistics are worry-free."

There's nothing more to say now that things have come to this point.

Besides, the Uyghurs only knew how to herd livestock, not how to grow crops.

Leaving them there will only bring harm to the people and serve no other purpose.

At this moment, the Prince of Guangping walked over with a smile.

"King of the Uyghurs, let's do as General Li Siye says. We're all aiming to capture Chang'an, so why get bogged down in such petty gains?"

The King of Guangping also spoke up, and the King of Uyghurs could only reluctantly agree.

"Then we'll follow the arrangements of the Prince and the General. There are still matters to attend to at the military camp, so I won't disturb you any longer. Farewell."

After saying this, the Uyghur king turned and strode away.

Watching the departing figure of the Uyghur King, Li Siye's lips curled into a slight smile.

Finally, we see that even the Uyghurs have a moment of weakness.

Guo Ziyi stepped forward and asked with a kind expression, "Li Siye, when did you acquire such a resourceful sworn brother? I've never heard you mention him before."

Li Siye scratched his head and said with a smile.

"I met him recently. I admire his military talent, which is why we became sworn brothers."

It should be noted that Li Siye was a very arrogant person. If he didn't have real skills, he wouldn't even look down on a member of the royal family.

"How about sending your precious sworn brother to my Shuofang army? After all, he only has forty men under his command; it's a waste of his talent. Come to me, and I'll give him the rank of Lieutenant General."

General of the Central Army, a powerful fourth-rank military officer in the Tang Dynasty.

For Zhang Yang, who had no official rank or title, this was already a meteoric rise.

Li Siye shook his head.

"If he doesn't like me, I can't just give him my position as commander-in-chief, can I?" Guo Ziyi joked.

Li Siye quickly waved his hand.

"General, that's not what I meant. I've already found a way out for him. He'll go to the Uyghur army camp to supervise the troops, reorganize the Longwu Army, and become a guerrilla general. This will make it easier for him to march independently and cooperate with us to maximize their abilities."

Guo Ziyi agreed with Li Siye's arrangement.

After all, Zhang Yang has only made a small contribution, so to promote him to the rank of fourth-grade general is really too fast.

Afterwards, Guo Ziyi patted Li Siye on the shoulder earnestly and offered words of comfort.

"However, you must make sure he works to ease tensions with the Uyghurs. In the previous Battle of Qingqu, we suffered a great loss because we lacked cavalry. If the Uyghurs really back down or even join the rebels, no one can bear that responsibility."

Li Siye nodded solemnly.

But I was still feeling very uneasy.

Given Zhang Yang's personality, is it possible for him to reconcile with the Uyghurs?

difficult.

At the martial arts training ground in Guodu Town, Zhang Yang was training his troops when his wife, Liu Yun'er, arrived with a large group of young men from Guodu Town.

When these young men saw the deafening battle cries, the perfectly aligned formations, and the magnificent scene on the training ground, they were filled with awe.

Zhang Yang's act of hanging the corpses of the Great Yan rebels on the archway of Guodu Town greatly deterred the rebels and suppressed their arrogance.

On the other hand, it also greatly stimulated young people's desire to join the army.

Because Zhang Yang's team truly dared to fight the rebels and protect the people.

Most importantly, all of them received land and had something to support their families, so they were all very grateful to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang turned around and slowly walked towards the young people.

Liu Yun'er stepped forward and said softly, "Husband, I've brought you all the people you wanted."

Zhang Yang reached out and touched his wife's smooth face, smiling slightly.

"You've worked hard, my wife."

Now that I have a large sum of money, it's time to expand my forces.

Zhang Yang stepped forward, and the group of young men all knelt down on one knee.

"Greetings, Chief Village Head."

"Get up, everyone."

Everyone stood up and looked at Zhang Yang, this great hero, with reverence.

"Gentlemen, since you want to work for me, you'll be brothers from now on. I'll assign you to different teams. The training will be extremely tough, and you'll likely get injured or even die on the battlefield. Are you scared?!"

"Don't be afraid!"

The crowd shouted in unison.

"Very good. Everyone, go register now and then train with your respective team captains. Weapons will also be issued to you. As for the uniforms, everyone will have one after a while."

"Thank you, village head."

Everyone went to register with great excitement, their faces beaming with joy.

At this moment, Liu Yun'er looked at Zhang Yang with a puzzled expression and reached out to tug at his arm.

"My lord, you've had the blacksmith work day and night all this time for today. But we don't have enough cloth. How are you going to get uniforms for these brothers?"

Zhang Yang looked confident and said with a smile.

"Just wait, the clothes will be ready."

Just as the two were chatting, a group of people carrying Tang army banners quickly arrived at the training ground.

Upon seeing someone approaching, everyone's gaze immediately turned in that direction.

A soldier dressed in Shuofang Army armor dismounted and quickly approached Zhang Yang and Liu Yun'er.

The messenger produced a military order.

"Zhang Yang, the head of Guodu Town, listen to my command."

"exist."

"By order of the King of Guangping, Zhang Yang, the head of Guodu Town, is hereby appointed as the military supervisor of the camp and a guerrilla general, in charge of the Longwu Army and to oversee the Uyghur army. Upon receiving this order, he shall proceed to the camp within three days without fail."

Zhang Yang nodded, then smiled and said to his wife, Liu Yun'er.

"Look, the people delivering the uniforms have arrived."

Everyone present was stunned.

Guerrilla General, Inspector of the Uyghurs—this was a high position that even the sons of powerful families in the Tang Dynasty couldn't obtain.

Zhang Yang, a mere village head, actually managed to do that?!
