Cao Zhongming's eyes were bloodshot, and it was extremely difficult for him to breathe. This was not only because Li Ye was stuck on his neck, but also because the aura in his body was running around, out of control, and all internal organs were traumatized. The injury is getting worse every moment, the meridian may be broken at any time, and the cultivation base will be lost.
When Cao Zhongming looked at Li Ye, his eyes gradually filled with fear, just like seeing a god. He originally thought that if he reached the level of a real person, he would be able to fight against Li Ye. He also had the Wei Bo army, which was enough to defeat the Pinglu army. Unexpectedly, Wei Bojun was defeated first, and now even he himself was suppressed by Li Ye lightly.
Just now, if Li Ye's palm hadn't been hit head-on, he couldn't appreciate the irresistible power contained in it. At this moment, Cao Zhongming had no fighting spirit. If Li Ye is only a little stronger than him, he still has jealousy and the idea of overthrowing the other party. But Li Ye was so much stronger than him, so much so that he had no chance of going all out. At this moment, he only had despair in his heart.
Cao Zhongming has already realized very clearly that he has no capital to compete with Li Ye at all, and now he depends on the other party's charity for his life.
Cao Zhongming said with difficulty: "I would like to give up Northern Bo and Bei Er Prefectures to His Highness... Can Your Highness let Wei Bo go?"
"Bo and Bei Erzhou? Cao Shuai is really a master!" Li Ye sneered.
Cao Zhongming's breathing became more and more difficult, and he felt that he might die at any time, and the aura in his body was destroying his body all the time. If Li Ye kept holding his neck and kept using the aura to hit his meridians, he would immediately return to death.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, I am willing to let Weizhou out... No, I just ask Your Highness to give me the land of two states so that Wei Bo can survive! Even if it is the land of one state... I am willing to order other states and counties to surrender!"
Li Ye looked at Cao Zhongming with indifferent eyes: "Cao Shuai, is your head broken? Do you think you still have room to bargain? Why don't you just tell you that even if you don't order, the lonely king can use your seal to replace you. You issue these orders. What qualifications do you think you have to negotiate with me?"
Cao Zhongming was full of despair, as if falling into an abyss, his eyes had begun to turn white, he was still working hard: "Your Highness, spare my life, and I would like to serve Your Highness for this. I am... a real person, and I will be useful to Your Highness." ... "
"The realm of real people?" Li Ye didn't have any emotion on his face, "In the eyes of the lonely king, a real person in Lingchi is nothing. Didn't you already have a deep understanding of it?"
"Your Highness...Your Highness, I would like to pretend to seek refuge with the King of Longxi County, to lure the opponent's soldiers and horses, and create an opportunity for His Highness to lay an ambush..."
"Do you think Li Keyong is as stupid as you, and will trust you at this time? Don't be stupid, Shuai Cao, you are useless now. Order now, the lonely king is in a good mood, and it will make your death more comfortable. "
Cao Zhongming's eyes gradually became dizzy, and his face was full of panic and despair, "Why... Why, Your Highness, refuse to let Wei Bo go, let me go..."
Li Ye looked at him with a murderous look in his eyes: "It's very simple. From the moment you cut off the ears of the orphan king's envoy, you Wei Bo, your Cao family, and you Cao Zhongming have no possibility of continuing to exist in this world. The lonely king wants to borrow you Let me tell the world that you cannot bear the price of hurting me!"
Cao Zhongming's body was cold and his face was ashen. His life had never been like this, full of powerlessness and regret.
Li Ye jumped off the roof and carried Cao Zhongming into the Zhengshi Hall step by step.
The government affairs hall was in the strong wind, half of the eaves and walls had been destroyed, and only half of the ruins remained. Those wounded generals and officials all backed away when they saw Li Ye coming in, their eyes were full of horror and fear. They watched Li Ye helplessly, carrying their Jiedu Envoy to the main case like a dead dog, not to mention not daring to make a sound, not even having the courage to run away.
Everyone felt the pressure of the doomsday, and it was too uncomfortable to bear. They were still insulting Li Ye just now, but now they regret it, and all of them turned pale.
Throwing Cao Zhongming behind the desk, Li Ye glanced at the generals and officials, casually ordered two aides, and said unquestionably: "You, plan to write the military order for Wei Bo's army to disarm and surrender. You, get ready for the envoy Yinshou , Let you Cao Shuai sign and draw a pledge!"
The person who was called was shocked, and did not dare to delay for a moment, and quickly followed the order.
Cao Zhongming was lying on the desk tremblingly, like a bereaved dog, and he didn't have half the majesty before. He had the heart not to sign the order, but he didn't dare to disobey Li Ye. He knew that he was going to die at this moment, but he still wanted to help Li Ye with things and help Li Ye get Wei Bo into his pocket. This feeling was really indescribable.
Li Ye glanced at everyone, and smiled slightly: "You are all famous and surnamed officials of Wei Bo. If you want to survive, after Cao Shuai's order is signed, you must take the lead in carrying it out. Gu Wang believes that everyone here is Smart people know what to do. The lonely king can ride alone into the Jiedushi mansion in Weizhou City. The lonely king will naturally go to your mansions. If you do not satisfy the lonely king, the lonely king does not mind going to you Ask for a cup of tea."
When the generals and officials heard this, their complexions changed slightly. Even Immortal Lingchi couldn't get away with one move in front of Li Ye. No matter how many people they had to protect their families, it would be of no avail. Even if they stayed in the barracks, they might not be safe.
But there were also some people who had always been brave enough to die lightly, couldn't recognize the situation clearly, felt that Li Ye was only one person, and it was impossible to hunt down and kill them all. At this time, they exchanged glances and planned to leave here before discussing long-term plans.
But at this moment, Li Ye suddenly called out: "You Da Niao!"
Youda Niao, Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, Su Emei and others, as the most cultivated existence under Li Ye's command, naturally followed Li Ye this time, flew from various directions and landed beside him following his orders.
Three great cultivators, one Yangshen Daoist, and two Yinshen Daoist, as soon as they appeared, they unreservedly exuded the coercion of their cultivation bases. The faces of all the people present changed drastically, and they fell to their knees one after another.
Shengzi twisted his shoulders, grinned his teeth and said, "From today onwards, my name is Song Qianshu, and the name Youda Niao is really indecent."
"It's up to you." Li Ye said lightly, "Remember the faces of these people. If they don't follow Cao Shuai's order and dare to fight against our Pinglu army, I will leave it to you to deal with them in the future."
The Holy Son spread his hands: "It's a trivial matter."
The generals and officials lay on the ground and looked at each other. Even those who were brave enough to ignore death completely restrained their minds at this time, and did not dare to think of trouble again. After all, not being afraid of death and being willing to die are two completely different things.
After the staff finished writing the order, Li Ye asked Cao Zhongming to affix the big seal and sign it. After doing this, Cao Zhongming collapsed on the ground, lost his mind, as if all the strength in his body had been exhausted.
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 rose in his heart, and he prayed: "His Royal Highness, you are destined to achieve great things, Datang It must be rejuvenated in the hands of His Highness, and even reproduce the scene of the prosperous Kaiyuan! Your Highness, you are so noble, why should you be as knowledgeable as a small person like me? I have done everything you asked me to do, and it is still useful to keep me. I can make Wei Bo Listen to what you say, if someone kills me, there will be people who will dissatisfy and cause trouble, Your Highness..."

Li Ye glanced at Cao Zhongming and smiled, "What Cao Shuai said makes sense."
Cao Zhongming was overjoyed, his eyes sparkled with hope: "Will Your Highness spare me this time?"
Li Ye smiled unabated, "I don't want to."
"Your Highness..." Cao Zhongming froze, his face full of puzzlement.
With a wave of Li Ye's hand, a stream of light flashed, and the aura wind blade swept across Cao Zhongming's neck.
Cao Zhongming's head fell from his shoulders, rolled on the ground with a grunt, turned around a few times before stopping, with an expression of disbelief still remaining on his face. To the end of his life, he refused to believe that Li Ye was so ruthless.
"Pass down Wei Bo." Li Ye glanced at Cao Zhongming's head, "It's useless to keep you. The lonely king accepts Wei Bo, he doesn't need to borrow your prestige, the lonely king's own prestige is enough."
Withdrawing his gaze, Li Ye issued the order, and looked at the night sky from the ruins with his hands behind his back, "From now on, there will be no Wei Bo Jiedu envoy in the Tang Dynasty."
...
The six prefectures of Weibo and Bozhou have been captured by the Pinglu army, and the other five prefectures were also occupied by the Pinglu army after Li Ye drove straight into Weizhou.
Of course there were battles, and some states and counties were unwilling to be annexed, but under the fierce offensive of the Pinglu Army, basically none persisted for more than three days. When encountering a city that is difficult to conquer, Li Ye always asks You Daliu and others to kill the main generals of the opponent directly. Without a leader, no matter how brave the army is, its morale will be low.
Later, Li Ye wrote a letter to Li Yan, suggesting that Weibo Jiedushi should be abolished, and the six states of Weibo should be turned into states directly under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court. It is said that it is directly under the imperial court, and now Li Ye is in charge of Shandong, which means he is in charge.
Not surprisingly, the court agreed to Li Ye's performance. The reduction of feudal towns is an act of strengthening the imperial court, and the imperial court has no reason to object.
Next, when Li Zhen and other civil officials showed their power, they followed the model of Li Ye's recovery of Pinglu to rectify the six prefectures of Weibo. Kill corrupt officials, investigate evil officials, wipe out large households in prefectures and counties who have committed crimes, and redistribute confiscated fields and houses so that the people have houses and fields.
After doing this, the morale of the six prefectures in Weizhou was revived, and countless people supported Li Ye.
Afterwards, there will be specific governance, including building farmland and water conservancy, distributing seeds and farm tools for reclamation, gathering and appeaseing refugees, promulgating new administrative laws and abolishing exorbitant taxes, etc., to further enhance Li Ye's prestige in Wei Bo, and stabilize Li Ye's influence on Wei Bo. rule.
As for Wei Bojun, after the war, there were less than 100,000 left. Li Ye has no intention of reusing these arrogant soldiers who have rotted to the root. After careful selection, only 10,000 to 20,000 people were left, and the rest were scattered by him and distributed to various counties and counties for unified local management.
With a team of officials trained by Pinglu, Li Ye replaced half of the officials in the six prefectures of Wei and Bo, and countless Pinglu officials were added to the ranks to take charge of the government.
Soon, Li Ye's cultivation level rose again and again.
After Pinglu's evil troubles were pacified, Li Ye had won the hearts of the people of Pinglu, and his cultivation base had made progress. Now in Weizhou, he is vigorously rectifying the government, stabilizing the order, and benefiting the people. His cultivation base has touched the threshold of the Yangshen Daoist. After all, Wei Bo was much richer and more prosperous than Pinglu.
At this point, the improvement of cultivation base will be slow in the future, and those people who do not return to their hearts immediately will not return their hearts in a short time, and need long-term governance.
When Li Zhen and other civil officials were flexing their muscles in Weibo, the Pinglu army did not stay long. After only one month, after stabilizing the order of the states and counties, they regrouped and prepared to march into Zhaoyi and go straight to Hedong. Of course, the army also left a small part stationed in the prefectures and counties.
On this day, Li Ye left Weizhou and flew into Zhaoyi with Su Emei, Youda Niao, Nine-Tailed Demon Fox and others.
"Jiedushi Zhaoyi ruled five prefectures. They are not as rich as Wei Bo in terms of wealth and military strength, but they should not be underestimated. Moreover, Zhaoyi may have contacts with Li Keyong because it is adjacent to Hedong. with the possibility of union."
Li Ye walked on the clouds and said to the crowd, "After the battle of Weibo, it proved that the beheading plan is feasible. Captured the Jiedu envoy of Zhaoyi and made Zhaoyi's dragons leaderless, and the army's battle will be smoother. Before attacking the city, take the guards. The head of the main general is also the only way to win quickly. Although doing so is not good for the growth of the army, the battle in Hedong is the most important thing right now, so we can ignore these things for the time being. But before that, we must first confirm the attitude of the Jiedushi Zhaoyi .”
