Chapter 246: Mission Accomplished

A flock of vultures hovered over the end of the city, their eyes fixed on the corpses around the walls.

Although the siege lasted only half an hour in total, the two sides suffered mutual damage, and more than 2,000 lives were lost.

"Chief, all the generals of Tuyuhun have been screened."

And in the last city, Li Jing stood on the city tower with high spirits, looking down on this fortified city of Tuguhun.

This is the first time that the Central Plains Dynasty has stepped into the end of the city, and in the future, it will also become a strategic place for the Tang Dynasty to overlook the countries of the Western Regions.

And next to the end of the city is the end of the river, along the river down to Shanzhou, as long as it is not from the Central Plains to transport supplies, and the end of the city is not so desolate and remote.

"Take care of all of them, and the general is going to take them back to Chang'an City."

Li Jing had already sent a fast horse back to Beijing to report the good news, and now these Tuyuhun generals were the most important captures.

"Chief Administrator, in my opinion, these captives are also in trouble, except for the King of Daning, all the others have been wiped clean with a knife, saving trouble."

Hou Junji has always been more angry, and he feels that it is a trouble to carry so many prisoners.

And the army in the last city, except for a few thousand people who fled under the leadership of the generals who disobeyed Murong Shun, all became prisoners.

More than 10,000 captives, not to mention management, it is a trouble to just feed them.

"No, all the countries in the Western Regions are watching us, if we kill all the soldiers who surrendered to Tuyuhun today, who else will dare to surrender to us in the future?"

Li Daozong obviously did not support Hou Junji's view.

"Boss, can you take a step to speak?"

Li Kuan's eyes flashed, and an idea popped up in his heart.

Li Jing stared at Li Kuan, and actually turned around and walked to a corner where no one was around.

"What advice does His Royal Highness the King of Chu have?"

Although he was still in the army, the war was over, so Li Jing did not put on the attitude of a superior officer again.

Of course, it had something to do with the excellent performance of the strikers today.

Face is not given by people.

Rather, I earned it back.

"The chief manager is thirty out of sixty this year, right? Now he is in the position of Pingzhang political affairs under the door, and he can be described as a very popular minister. Pacifying Xiao Milling, pacifying Lingnan, pacifying Fu Gongyi, defeating the Eastern Turks, and now destroying Tuyuhun, the chief manager has made countless contributions, and he is really an indispensable minister of my Tang Dynasty. ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, just say what you want to say? Ben is not old and foolish? ”

Li Jing thought that Li Kuan was trying to win him over, and his face couldn't help but change.

"Well, then the king will say it directly. Don't you think it's not necessarily a good thing to go back to Chang'an this time, and you have too much credit? For the sake of future generations, it would be better for the chief manager to make some mistakes. ”

Li Jing stared at Li Kuan tightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"What mistake do you want Ben to make?"

Historically, after Li Jing destroyed Tuyuhun, he was falsely accused of rebellion, although it was finally clarified, but it also passed more than ten years of closed-door days.

It can be said that he has lived for a long time, and he actually sees many things very thoroughly and clearly, which is why he can listen to what Li Kuan said.

"It's useless to deal with the people of Rongdi, blindly being gentle. If these captives were brought to Chang'an, there was a good chance that His Majesty would have them return to Tuyuhun and appoint those who had submitted to the Tang Dynasty as the new khan. This king feels that this cannot completely solve the problem of the northwest frontier of the Tang Dynasty, but it is better to use thunder means to completely incorporate Tuyuhun into the rule of my Datang, which can not only deter Xiaoxiao, but also give Datang one more place to produce horses. ”

"You want Ben to kill the prisoners?"

Li Jing is a smart person, and he knows the meaning of Li Kuan's words as soon as he hears it.

"If the chief manager doesn't want to give the order himself, there's no problem in leaving it to this king to arrange."

"How do you arrange it?"

"Arrange a few people to go in, spread some rumors, let those captives rebel again, and when the time comes, the army will directly suppress it, and accidentally kill a few more people, it is also normal, even if there are doubts about the imperial history of the DPRK and China, it is not good to say anything, at most it is just impeachment and impeachment."

"More than 10,000 people, you have to ...... all of them"

"I heard that when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty made three expeditions to Goryeo, many Sui soldiers were beheaded by Goguryeo and built Jingzhen, and this king also wanted to build one in the end of the city, so he should practice his hands in advance!"

"Your Majesty has the heart to conquer Goguryeo? Why hasn't Ben heard of it? ”

Listening to Li Kuan's words, Li Jing couldn't help but be startled.

Practice your hands ahead of time?

Is this still going to build a Gyeongju in Goguryeo?

Could it be that His Royal Highness the King of Chu knew that His Majesty intended to send troops to Goguryeo?

That's a big deal!

Goguryeo is not much harder to gnaw than Tuyuhun!

"No, Your Majesty has not thought about conquering Goguryeo now, and now that the Tang Dynasty is recuperating and recuperating, it will not start a war at will. But under the couch there is no room for others to snore. Does the chief manager think that Datang can accommodate Goguryeo? ”

Li Jing didn't speak, his eyes looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"I'm old, and the captives in the last city will be left in the care of the vanguard battalion. Five days later at the latest, the class teacher will return to the court! ”

……

Groundless!

This is a trick that officials like to use.

In just two days, many theories circulated among Tuyuhun's captives.

"When the Tang army was ready to leave, he set fire to the city and burned us all to death."

"All the livestock have been taken away by the Tang army, and we will be left in the end of the city."

"I heard that a mass grave is being dug outside the city to bury us."

"The Tang army is going to let us walk back to the Tang Dynasty from the end of the year, and we won't be given anything to eat?"

All kinds of messages, spread by a few Tang soldiers who had infiltrated the prisoner camp, quickly spread all over the place.

There were Turkic people in the Tang army, as well as some Xue Yantuo people, who were mixed into the prisoner camp, and ordinary people could not identify them at all.

The most important thing is that the soldiers guarding the captives also deliberately punched and kicked the captives at every turn, all kinds of insults, and did not treat them as human beings at all.

That night, some of the captives secretly climbed out of the prisoner camp, somehow grabbed a batch of swords, and then began to set fire everywhere.

It was only after the entire prisoner camp began to unrest that the Tang army seemed to realize that something was wrong.

Immediately after, of course, it was repression.

Tens of thousands of captives rushed out of the camp and burned in the last city, and the belated Tang army began to attack.

Crossbow bolts!

Dense crossbow arrows!

Destroying wave after wave of almost unarmed rebel crowds like straw harvest.

Li Jing stood in the military tent and let out a long sigh when he heard the shouts outside.

In this way, Your Majesty should not have to worry about how to reward himself.

And Li Kuan, who was standing on the city tower, looked at the turmoil in the city that was gradually subsided, but he unexpectedly waited for the long-lost system voice.

[Mission completed, please claim the reward!] 】
