The entire floor of the City Lord's Mansion was soaked in with fire oil, and everyone shouted in panic at the thought of the terrifying consequences of being burned, and the entire City Lord's Mansion was in chaos.

Niu Jinda waved his hand, dozens of archers in the Tang army fired a salvo, and dozens of rockets flew into all corners of the city lord's mansion in an instant, and then I saw a "boom" in the city lord's mansion, and a big fireball rose into the air, and the billowing smoke could be seen dozens of miles away.

The fire was so ferocious, the scorching flames made the Tang army surrounded outside the city lord's mansion have to retreat dozens of steps, and the slower ones began to cough, Niu Jinda looked at the burning city lord's mansion, nodded with satisfaction and said: "This is about the same, if this old mongrel kills so many people in my Datang, and there are officials in my heart, I will feel uncomfortable." ”

Yang Wanchun looked at the panicked family wives and concubines in the mansion, and lamented: "Niu Jinda, you are too unparticular, at least you have to persuade a few more words, so that I can also brush up on the reputation of righteousness and awe-inspiring, and also achieve your reputation of Li Shimin cherishing talents and caring for thatched houses." ”

In order to prevent the Tang army from attacking the city lord's mansion, the Goguryeo people dug a trench outside the mansion, and now the city lord's mansion is on fire, and many people who are unwilling to burn to death open the door of the mansion and run out, but as soon as they go out, they were shot to death by the Tang army and fell directly in the back trench, Niu Jinda looked at them and smiled: "It seems that the Goguryeo people are really bent on dying." Even the cemetery was dug by itself. ”

The soldiers next to him laughed out loud when they heard what Niu Jinda said. Yang Wanchun caused major damage to the Tang Army, everyone was eager to eat his flesh and drink his blood, originally the City Lord's Mansion must have a lot of money, but now for the sake of his own happiness, he doesn't even want these, it depends on the death of their family.

At this time, the gate of the mansion opened, and the families of the Goguryeo soldiers and Yang Wanchun, who had been determined to die, saw the miserable death of the burned people, and they ran out one after another and shouted: "We surrender, we surrender!" ”

The soldiers all looked at Niu Jinda, hoping that he would come out with an attitude. Niu Jinda dug his nostrils: "Yang Wanchun has the will to die, after the Goguryeo people were burned by our army, they fought back desperately and were all shot by our army!" ”

The clever guards immediately shouted: "The Goguryeo people rushed out and wanted to break through, don't let them escape!" ”

So ten thousand arrows were fired, and those who came out were all shot into hedgehogs. From time to time, a person came out, Tang Jun was like a whack-a-mole, and directly began to compete in archery, who shot fast and accurately, and from time to time there were cheers.

The burning City Lord's Mansion was extinguished for a day and a night, and at this time Anshi City was completely controlled by the Tang Army. Knowing the news of Yang Wanchun's death, Li Shimin didn't have any emotions, for him he was just an official of a county order, if it weren't for Goguryeo, he wouldn't be able to get into his eyes at all.

In this battle, the Tang army suffered a lot of casualties even with gunpowder and grenades, and more than 4,000 soldiers were killed in the battle, and even more were wounded. But Anshi City was controlled by the Tang Army, and these sacrifices were worth it. Yang Wanchun has worked hard in Anshi City for many years, and he left countless materials, which Tang Jun took three days to order.

The Tang army also took this opportunity to rest and recuperate, and everyone was tired from continuous battles. Li Shimin also happened to take this time to hold a meeting to discuss the Tang Army's plan of action for the next stage.

Li Dongsheng was also invited to join this meeting, which also proved from the side that he was completely free from the charge of rebellion, and His Majesty has forgiven him.

The eldest grandson Wuji also asked with great concern: "Lantian Hou dared to go to the city gate to put gunpowder, it is really impressive, he didn't pee his pants in fear, right?" "Peerless Tang Gate fo

Li Dongsheng also replied politely: "Thank you Guogong for your concern, I am also a battle-hardened old man, not that the flowers in some greenhouses can only be compared to my father's people." ”

Listening to where the two people were seriously harming each other, Li Ji laughed and laughed, where did he report the problem: "Your Majesty, now our army has a big problem, that is, the problem of prisoners of war. Our army now has nearly 100,000 prisoners, plus the people of Goguryeo, the number is no less than 200,000, so many people are under too much pressure on our army's logistics supply, let's discuss how to deal with it! ”

"What's so bad to deal with. Just kill it. Cheng Biting Jin said with a big grin: "These guys killed hundreds of thousands of my Han family men in the Sui Dynasty, and they also piled up into Jingguan, this time my Tang army also suffered heavy losses, and the grass must be eradicated, and it is easy to kill all these young people, and everyone's anger is also smooth." ”

"Your Majesty, it's ominous to kill prisoners!" The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly stopped: "Since they don't do things and still have to eat, it is better to dismiss them on the spot and let them find their own way to live, and it will not be in vain in the name of benevolence and righteousness of my Tang Dynasty." ”

"Pedanc, you go directly to talk to the Goguryeo people and see if you can make them surrender with benevolence and righteousness, it's really a scholar's opinion." Cheng Yanjin immediately pushed back, and the two of them quarreled.

Li Shimin was troubled by the quarrel between the two people, and hurriedly said: "Okay, don't fight." You can't kill it, or I won't be able to run away from my reputation for cruelty, if I can't。。。。。 Just let it go. ”

"Your Majesty, by all means." Niu Jinda hurriedly stopped Li Shimin's unreliable idea: "Goguryeo has a small population, and now there is no one to recruit soldiers in the whole territory, if we put these 100,000 people back, it will be equivalent to giving 100,000 veterans of the Goguryeo people who have been on the battlefield." ”

"So what to do? Kill and can't kill, put and can't release, just raise food? Li Shimin was also very annoyed: "We have to waste our army's manpower to take care of it." ”

"Your Majesty, I have an idea!" Li Dongsheng saw such a simple question and stumped the elite of this era, and he had to take action.

"Oh, what are the ideas?" Li Shimin saw that it was Li Dongsheng, and he also knew that he was anxious, so he became interested.

"Your Majesty, there are two kinds of captives this time. One is the defeated soldiers, and the other is the women and children. Li Dongsheng said: "Those soldiers are all young and strong, and they are also the main labor force of the Goguryeo people, and Weichen suggested that they deal with it in two parts, the first is the auction." Now there are coal kilns in many places in the northwest, where there is a great shortage of people, because it is really hard, the people of Datang are not willing to go, these people are healthy, young and young, is the best candidate for work. ”

"That's right!" The eyes of the generals present lit up, after Li Dongsheng handed over the stove business to them, many coal kilns were their own, where to find such a good worker now.

Even Li Ji agreed: "Yes, this is a good idea, the money from the auction can make up for the lack of our military spending, and it can also be used as a pension for the dead and wounded." ”

"That's 100,000 people, even if it's a coal kiln, there won't be so many people." The eldest grandson Wuji is still pouring cold water on somewhere.
