was about to leave Goguryeo, Li You and the others packed up and set off.

Li Jing, Li Ji, Li Daozong and others came to see them off, and everyone sent them to the city gate from the Great Marshal's Mansion, and Li You and everyone said goodbye.

Li Daozong said: "Your Highness, the minister will give you another ride." ”

Li You knew that he had something to say, and said with a smile: "Then it will bother Uncle Lao." ”

Li Daozong and Li You got into the carriage together, and he asked, "Your Highness, you bothered about the matter of the minister's daughter. Xue Yan said that Songtsam Ganbu fell in love with her, and Songtsam Ganbu also had a good impression of her, how should this matter be carried out next? ”

It turned out that Li Xueyan followed the delegation to the Great Food Country, and when he passed through Tibet, he specially went to meet Songtsen Gampo in the name of Li You, and sent him a luxurious four-wheeled carriage and some works of art produced in the industrial city. The main purpose of this trip was to allow her to meet Songtsen Gampo.

Li Xueyan is the daughter of Li Daozong, the king of the county, with the identity of the county lord, and made a special trip to Songtsan Ganbu to give gifts. Therefore, Songtsen Ganbu personally met Li Xueyan, and the two really had a good impression of each other.

Li Xueyan came prepared, and she was a very smart girl. Under the pretext of visiting Lhasa, she hoped that Songtsen Ganbu would arrange a tour guide to accompany her, but she hoped that Songtsen Ganbu would accompany her personally.

Songtsam Ganbu also wanted to take the opportunity to get close to Li Xueyan, so he personally accompanied Li Xueyan on the tour. After a period of correspondence, the two fell in love and made a private agreement for life.

After Li Xueyan returned to Chang'an, she sent it to Li Daozong, explaining the progress of the matter. Li Xueyan is 19 years old this year, Li Daozong has always been anxious about her marriage, and he is very happy to see that his daughter has someone she likes.

Unlike in history, when Songtsam Ganbu wanted to ask for marriage, he did not ask Li Shimin to ask the princess to marry, but directly to Li Daozong. Li Daozong specially came to ask Li You's opinion.

Li You said: "Uncle, in order for the Snow Goose sister to have a higher status, you might as well ask my father for a marriage." In this way, the marriage between individuals has become a harmony between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo.

The father will definitely be happy to see this happen, the beauty of adults. I guess he must have given Snow Goose the identity of the Tang Princess. ”

Regarding Li You's opinion, Li Daozong has always been convinced. Li Xueyan can have the identity of a princess, and Songtsam Ganbu will of course have more face and will value Li Xueyan more.

He arched his hand and said, "Your Highness, on behalf of the whole family, thank you. ”

Li You smiled: "Sister Snow Goose's business is my business, thank you." Alright, uncle, please stay, and send it here. ”

Li Daozong bowed and said, "Okay, Your Highness, the minister won't send you, take care all the way." ”

Li You and the others continued to hurry.

Suddenly, there was a shout of killing in front of me, and I saw a large crowd of people running in the distance.

Zhang Guigui and Baihu hurriedly commanded the troops to be on guard.

Zhang Guigui picked up the binoculars and took a closer look, and saw about dozens of people wearing Goguryeo military uniforms fleeing, and some of them still had weapons in their hands. Behind them was a group of Don troops who were chasing them.

Zhang Guigui knew that there was a large prisoner of war camp not far away, which held tens of thousands of Goguryeo prisoners of war, and it was estimated that he had escaped from there. He commanded a detachment of Flying Tigers to intercept the fugitives, and after killing several of them, the rest surrendered on their knees.

At this time, a Tang Army officer who was in charge of chasing the fugitive saw Li You's car and ran over to report the situation.

Bai Hu and the others took out the Hu bed, and after Li You sat down, he asked the officer to sit down and asked him about the situation of the prisoner of war camp.

Due to the Tang army's tight blockade on the sea and land, the supply of materials to the Goguryeo people was extremely difficult, and a large number of civilians and soldiers fled to the areas controlled by the Tang army every day.

For ordinary people, whose homes are in areas controlled by the Tang Army, after a simple screening, they are all allowed to return to their hometowns by themselves; Those whose homes were in Goguryeo-controlled areas were temporarily contained by the Tang army.

There are also two cases for prisoners of war. One was captured in battle, and those people were sent to various parts of the Tang Dynasty to serve hard labor.

There is also a group of people who voluntarily escaped from the encirclement of the Tang army and defected to Cheng, and these people were also temporarily sheltered by the Tang army to prevent them from dispersing into society and harming the people. However, according to the pre-advertised plan, they would be released on the spot when the war was over.

These prisoners of war who escaped were those who were captured in battle. Although these people have won a life, they still have a lot of resistance in their hearts at the thought of going to hard labor in the future. In addition, the poor living conditions such as food in the prisoner of war camps led to incidents of escapes and riots.

Li You asked, "What are you going to do with these escaped captives when you go back?" ”

The officer said: "Behead the public, kill one and make an example." ”

Li You nodded and said, "Killing a hundred is also a necessary means, but it can't fundamentally solve the problem."

The management of these prisoners of war is to give them hope for the future, so that their resistance will be much lower. ”

This Tang Army officer didn't seem to understand what Li You said. He just carried out the instructions of his superiors, who had no relevant policies and did not know how to do it.

Seeing the officer's ignorant look, Li You said: "Okay, about the relevant policies, they will be issued soon." You've worked hard, bring these people back. ”

The officer asked, "What about these people?" ”

Li You asked, "How many fugitives have you caught?" ”

The officer said: "58 people." ”

Li You felt that killing 58 people at a time was a bit too much, and he said: "Don't kill so many people, just take one out of ten." ”

The officer asked, "How do you choose?" ”

Li You said: "It was decided by drawing lots that six of these people who were drawn to death were beheaded in public. The rest of the men were beaten with 20 sticks and served hard labor in the prisoner of war camps, leaving them with all the dirty work. ”

The officer went away with the prisoners of war.

Li You stood up and did not get into the carriage. He stood in place and thought about it for a long time, and said to Zhang Guigui: "The convoy turned around and went back to the Marshal's Mansion." ”

The Marshal's Mansion is a sad place for Zhang Guigui. When he heard that he was going back, he was very unhappy. He said: "Brother You, you have to be nosy again, and if you are nosy, you will almost stay in Chang'an." ”

Li You sighed and said, "Some things really can't be left alone. Don't worry, things won't change when we go back to Northwest Road. ”

Zhang Guigui also complained twice, and he has always resolutely implemented Li You's words. He issued an order: "The convoy turned around and returned to the city. ”
