The sun is setting in the west, and the killing continues.

There were fewer and fewer rebels waiting to be beheaded, and the voices of struggling and shouting for mercy became quieter and quieter, and finally some of the remaining people found that everything was in vain, so they knelt motionless and waited for death.

The thousands of people kneeling behind them were also so frightened that they didn't dare to make any moves, and they didn't even drink much water from yesterday to now, and they didn't have the strength to move.

Li Chengqian saw that the first person who had been killed had already attracted a large swarm of flies buzzing around the corpses and heads, so he beckoned Xu Jingzong to come to him.

Xu Jingzong's face was also pale at this time, and he walked up to Li Chengqian and carefully observed Li Chengqian's face.

Li Chengqian looked at him angrily, and wanted to say, 'I'm not a murderer', but he also knew that one or two sentences could not be explained clearly, so he simply said directly: "Tell the stove room to boil more ginger soup, and give everyone here two bowls to drink, and don't let the soldiers suffer from heat stroke in the hot weather today." ”

"Obey the order!" When Xu Jingzong heard this, he hurriedly saluted and was about to retire.

Li Chengqian said angrily: "I haven't finished yet!" ”

Xu Jingzong hurriedly stood still, not daring to move.

Li Chengqian glanced at him and continued: "Later, we will distribute those supplies, cattle, sheep and camels to the herdsmen of the Lanshan Department who have collected them on our road, and then divide the tents to them to live in, remember to be fair and just when distributing." ”

Xu Jingzong nodded beside him and said, "The minister has written it down." ”

"After dividing the things, immediately arrange for people to bury these corpses deeply, so that there can be no epidemic." Speaking of this, Li Chengqian paused, and said in a somewhat low voice: "The soldiers who died in the Tang Dynasty ordered Su Dingfang to recognize the people, and then immediately burn them, but the ashes should be put away and placed in the urn, and the names of the soldiers should be clearly written on it.

When the lonely king returned to the army, he wanted to bring them all back, and find a piece of feng shui treasure outside Chang'an City to build a Tang Dynasty martyr's mausoleum for them, which was sacrificed by the imperial court all year round. ”

Li Chengqian said that the last five heads had been cut off below, and the whole square was quiet.

Li Chengqian said to Xu Jingzong: "You go and arrange it first, and let the soldiers have a good rest in the past two days." ”

Xu Jingzong listened to Li Chengqian's slow words, these arrangements were all so considerate of everyone, it was hard to imagine that he was the one who ordered the killing of a thousand soldiers just now.

Li Chengqian didn't have time to pay attention to Xu Jingzong anymore, got up and walked a few steps forward and said loudly: "The mastermind of the Lanshan tribe's rebellion against the Tang Dynasty has now all been ambushed except for Ashina Du Xun and a few guards. However, the capital crime can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped, and all the rebels of the Lan Department were sent to Jiannan to cut wood and build ships, and the Governor of Yuanzhou was ordered to send troops to escort them out of the country. ”

Just when some people were shocked by Li Chengqian's ruthless methods, they were surprised to find that the kneeling Lanshan subordinates actually shouted the words of gratitude in a hoarse voice after listening to Xuanzang's translation.

Li Chengqian waved his hand and asked people to lead them down, but these people only tied their arms with ropes, and then strung more than a dozen people together, and with the help of soldiers, they could barely walk on their own.

Li Chengqian watched the descendants of the Lanshan Department being escorted away one after another, so he smiled at the herdsmen of the Lanshan Department and said: "The Lone King has avenged you, now let Master Xuanzang distribute supplies to you, cattle, sheep and tents, and this will be your home in the future, and you can live a good life by grazing." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand and asked them to follow Xuanzang and the monks to get things.

After everything was arranged, Li Chengqian helped Liu Kui to walk off the high platform, facing Su Dingfang Xue Rengui who surrounded him, Li Chengqian smiled faintly and said: "You go and arrange for the soldiers to rest first, and other things will be arranged by Xu Jingzong." ”

Then beckoned to Cheng Wuting, who had a wooden face, Cheng Wuting hurriedly walked in front of Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian saw that he always had a wooden face and knew that his heart was also affected today, so he patted him on the shoulder and said distressedly: "Take your people with me." ”

"Ahh Cheng Wuting was stunned when he heard this, and then he came to his senses, and hurriedly went to the whole army to follow Li Chengqian's car and left.

Three days later, the affairs of the Lanshan Department basically came to an end, and Li Chengqian summoned Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui, Xu Jingzong, Wang Fangyi, Xuanzang, and Wei Chigong, who had been following him, to his Chinese army tent and ordered Liu Kui and Wang Qun to personally take the guards to guard outside.

Li Chengqian sat on the main seat and watched everyone sit with solemn expressions, so he said straight to the point: "Do you all think that it is too heavy for the Lone King not to kill?" ”

Everyone didn't expect Li Chengqian to be so direct, but the more so, the more difficult it was to answer, so they simply didn't say a word to give him a tacit acquiescence.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian sighed and said, "The Lone King doesn't want to kill people like this. ”

"The minister receives the grace of His Royal Highness the Prince, as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not slaughter innocents, the minister will swear to follow His Royal Highness the Prince." Xue Rengui stood up and said categorically.

But Li Chengqian still heard the entanglement in his words.

Li Chengqian raised his hand and motioned for Xue Rengui to sit down, took a deep breath and said, "Rengui, I will tell you again that the Lone King has appointed you, hoping that you will be loyal to your duties to protect your family and the country, not just for my personal life. ”

Xue Rengui: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ......"

"Listen to me first." Li Chengqian interrupted him directly.

"I said, 'I don't want to kill too much', which is true, but have you ever thought that since the Zhou, Qin, Han and Jin dynasties, the Beidi tribes have been harming China, and the strong lords of the Qin Emperor and Han Dynasty cannot hoe this great harm.

It took four years of my Tang Zhenguan to exterminate the Eastern Turks led by Geely, and then Xue Yantuo rose in Mobei, and in more than ten years, it reached the point of fighting against the Tang Dynasty.

Why is that? ”

"This? ......" Su Dingfang and the others also began to think when they heard this.

Li Chengqian waited for them for a while, shook his head slightly, and said, "You don't understand, it's because the Chinese imperial court has never governed this place well. ”

Although Xu Jingzong didn't understand why Li Chengqian was involved in governance, he still raised doubts: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is different from Huayi since ancient times, how does the Tang Dynasty govern Yidi here?" ”

This idea was very popular in the Tang Dynasty and even in the following hundreds of years.

For example, Zhu Suiliang's reason for persuading Li Shimin and pro-Xue Yantuo is that Mobei Yidi needs a chief to govern, and Xue Yantuo is very suitable, and Datang only needs to be good friends with Xue Yantuo.

There are also Tang Dynasty's fetters and prefectures, which are also used to control raze.

Li Chengqian looked at Xu Jingzong and said to him patiently: "So if you want to govern here, you must first change the customs and customs. ”

"Turning it into summer?" Xu Jingzong couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

Li Chengqian ignored him and said lightly: "The Turks have surrendered to my Tang Dynasty in the fourth year of Zhenguan, except for occasionally helping the Tang Dynasty to send troops, they are all independent clans at other times, and in less than a few decades, the Turks will inevitably become strong again and separate from my Tang Dynasty."

Now it seems that the strategy of arranging the Turks back then was tantamount to raising tiger relics. ”

Li Chengqian said this, and no one else dared to speak, because this was Li Shimin's strategy.

Li Chengqian ignored these glances at Wei Chigong, who was squinting, and continued: "So the most important thing for King Gu to go north this time is to completely turn the Turkic clan into the Tang Dynasty. ”

Su Dingfang opened his mouth wide and stammered: "How can this change?" ”

When everyone heard this, they also thought of the difficulty, and looked at Li Chengqian and wanted to know what he could do.

Li Chengqian looked at everyone and said confidently: "What's so difficult about this? The herdsmen of the Lanshan tribe we collected were originally Turkic, but now? ”

When everyone heard this, they thought about it, and now the herdsmen of the Lanshan Department are really grateful to Datang and Li Chengqian, but they are very wary of the Turks.

Su Dingfang thought for a while and hurriedly said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the minister found out that the Lanshan Department had indeed been extorted by the nearby pastoral supervisors before, and the cattle, sheep and horses in the Lanshan Department camp that we saw later were all stolen by them from the Qiang people.

I am afraid that other Turkic tribes have also been blackmailed by the shepherd, but it is impossible for each tribe's Qulu to drive their tribesmen out of the tribe ....... ”

Su Dingfang meant that the affairs of the Lanshan Department could not be replicated.

Li Chengqian nodded when he heard this: "General Su is right, but you have to know that there are some unpowerful people in any tribe.

Many of these people don't know that they are the descendants of the white wolf, we just need to send those who know that they are the descendants of the white wolf to Jiannan to cut wood, and the rest of the people will be handed over to Master Xuanzang to learn Buddhism, and in a few decades, there will be no Turks here, and no one will know that there was once a Turk here. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look back at Xuanzang, who was sitting at the end, Xuanzang looked up at everyone and said modestly: "The poor monk has been telling the herdsmen of the Lanshan Department about Master Xu's "Legend of Heaven and Earth" these days. ”

At this time, even Xu Jingzong suddenly looked at Li Chengqian in surprise, and couldn't help but sigh: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really far-sighted and wise!" ”

Li Chengqian said with a straight expression when he heard this: "The Turks are treated like this, and other tribes in the north and south of the desert are also dealt with. In addition to grazing for a living, there is no difference from the counties of the Central Plains, as long as the imperial decree does not lose the northern Xinjiang, it will always be quiet. ”

The people in the big tent are all people who are bent on making meritorious deeds and going down in history, how can they not be moved when they hear that they are going to achieve such great deeds?

looked at Li Chengqian with bright eyes one by one, and even Wei Chigong, who had been indifferent, became short of breath and walked over.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian said coldly to everyone: "If you want to accomplish this big thing, you must first kill the chiefs, heads, and so on of the various tribes, that is, those who know who the ancestors of their tribes are, or send them to Jiannan to cut wood and finally die of exhaustion!" ”

When everyone heard this, they all fell into the battle between heaven and man, and slaughtered a large number of things that no one wanted to do, but if this thing is done, it will be a major event that will benefit the present generation and the future......

When everyone was thinking about how to choose, Wei Chigong was the first to wake up. Watching everyone ponder, a hint of ridicule tugged at the corner of his mouth: How can you call the shots on such a big thing?

It seems that it is time to send a message back to His Majesty!
