Li Chengqian looked at Su Dingfang and Xu Jingzong's embarrassed appearance, his heart was a little refreshed, so he let them go, and said lightly: "Don't be ashamed now, think about how to deal with things at night!" ”

"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince already knows that Xue Yantuo's subordinates are plotting against him, please immediately lead troops to the prisoner camp for interrogation, and anyone who premeditates this matter will be beheaded in public." Xu Jingzong immediately stepped forward and said murderously.

"The minister is willing to lead troops to go with Master Xu!" Wang Fangyi hurriedly agreed.

This is a relatively conservative and prudent approach.

Li Chengqian turned his head to look at the others without comment, and saw that the faces of the others were also inclined to do so. But Li Chengqian didn't think so, because if he pulled out the leader and killed him now, he couldn't find a reason to openly kill all Xue Yantuo's pawns.

None of these tens of thousands of Xue Yantuo's descendants, Li Chengqian, planned to let them live, the previous plan was to starve these people to death, and now Li Chengqian wants to take this opportunity to publicly kill Liwei.

Therefore, this opportunity is very important, because if Li Chengqian kills these people without a plausible reason, not to mention that there are nearly 200,000 tribal alliances in the south with unknown intentions, even those ministers of the Tang Dynasty will not be able to spare him.

Don't look at Li Chengqian's previous killing in Chang'an City, it was very majestic, that was because the people he killed were involved in the dispute between the crown prince, and it is understandable that he killed those people and hundreds of officials, if he didn't kill those people cleanly, he would definitely be said to be a woman's benevolence.

However, killing and surrendering is something that Chinese Wenchen has always been unacceptable, and when he returns to Chang'an City, he will inevitably be attacked. Even if he can't do anything about Li Chengqian for a while, he will implicate a few generals around him.

This is also the reason why Xu Jingzong and Su Dingfang did not agree with him to kill Yinan and others, one was that they themselves did not approve of the killing, and the other was that they were afraid of going back and became victims.

In history, Cheng Yanjin guarded the gate for Li Zhi for three months after Li Shimin's death, and did not return home until Li Zhi sat on the throne.

Now that Xue Yantuo is a prisoner and wants to mutiny, Li Chengqian will of course take the opportunity to publicly kill Xue Yantuo and these tens of thousands of people in one fell swoop, so as to deter the northern border, which will not only reduce the obstacles to his governance of the northern land, but also shock the hearts of the people in the court.

Li Chengqian looked at Xu Jingzong and Wang Fangyi without speaking, as long as others were not stupid, they naturally understood that Li Chengqian did not just want to find out the premeditated ones and kill them, he must have other ideas, so he naturally would not stand up and echo Xu Jingzong.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Wang Fangyi reminded Li Chengqian in a low voice.

Li Chengqian looked at him and didn't speak, Wang Fangyi was shocked, knowing that he had disobeyed Li Chengqian, but he didn't know what he had done wrong, and his heart was full of knots for a while.

Li Chengqian's eyes calmly glanced at the faces of the ministers in the big tent, the atmosphere in the big tent was a little solemn, and a dense layer of sweat appeared on Xu Jingzong's forehead, and he didn't dare to move a little.

After a while, I only heard Li Chengqian say lightly: "There are many people who participate in this matter, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to trivialize." ”

"Since it's not easy to try, it's better to kill them all." Cheng Wuting bit the word and said, his youthful nature made Li Chengqian unhappy because he asked whether it was true or false just now. He didn't complain about Li Chengqian, he only hated Xue Yantuo's prisoners for being dishonest, so he was murderous to Xue Yantuo's prisoners.

Li Chengqian smiled slightly when he heard this, and everyone in the tent naturally understood Li Chengqian's intentions when they saw it, and they didn't dare to speak casually for a while, for fear of being infected and killed and returning to the court.

Li Chengqian was slightly angry when he saw that no one was helping Cheng Wuting speak, and looked at Cheng Wuting and said lightly: "King Gu has already had this intention, so he waited until today to tell you about this, just to take the opportunity to kill them." ”

After Cheng Wuting finished speaking, he looked at Li Chengqian's expression, and knew that Li Chengqian also thought the same, and immediately saw that everyone did not speak before he realized that he had committed a taboo, but he didn't care, as long as he was young and did not die, he would be reused when Li Chengqian ascended the throne in the future.

At this time, hearing Li Chengqian say this, he was obviously excusing him, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said excitedly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the ...... of the minister."

Li Chengqian raised his hand to stop him, his face turned grim, and he said in a deep voice: "Since we already know that the captives of Xue Yantuo will rebel tonight, then ask General Su to prepare in advance, as long as they dare to take a step out of the prisoner of war camp, they will be killed, and those who surrender will be handed over to Wang Qun and transferred to the ice city on the other side of the river." ”

Hearing this, Su Dingfang hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed his head and said, "The minister obeys the order!" After a pause, he asked more head-on, "I just don't know who Ice City is?"

Su Dingfang saw that Li Chengqian's intention to kill Xue Yantuo was very obvious, and as the main general, he didn't know what was going on in Bingcheng, so he naturally wanted to ask clearly.

Li Chengqian smiled when he heard this: "King Gu originally wanted to kill all these Xue Yantuo soldiers, but it was freezing this day, and it was really not easy to dig a pit, so he built an ice city on the other side of the Yellow River, preparing to enclose them first." ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, but they just looked at Li Chengqian's smile and felt that something was wrong, but since Li Chengqian was not ready to kill immediately, he still had to prepare to deal with Xue Yantuo's pawn first.

This is not a trivial matter of tens of thousands of prisoners rioting, even Su Dingfang had to go all out when he received the order, and hurriedly withdrew from the tent to check the topography of the Xue Yantuo prisoner camp and its surroundings on the spot, so as to arrange troops.

The others either wanted to assist Su Dingfang, or they all withdrew from official business, and only Cheng Wuting was signaled by Li Chengqian to stay.

----------------

Xue Yantuo's captive camp was covered in tattered and dirty sheepskins, and his eyes were gloomy looking at the Turkic warriors in front of him with a yellow face. This Turkic warrior named Lehe was his subordinate in the Turkic Ministry, and he was loyal to him, and these days he was in the Tuxyantuo prisoner camp, and the outside affairs were handled by Lehe for him.

Lu Zhi didn't believe that Li Li Chengqian would give Li Simo the opportunity to flee to Mobei with his troops, but Li Simo had neither the ability nor the courage to cooperate with Xue Yantuo's pawns to attack the Tang army and capture Li Chengqian.

So Lu Zhi could only come forward to unite with Xue Yantuo's pawns, and at the moment, Xue Yantuo's pawns' situation was really not good, not only the weapons and armor were confiscated by the Tang army, but even the food was pitiful.

From the time he was captured, according to the customs of the tribe, Xue Yantuo's soldiers gave food to the wounded and the old and weak. Later, the old, weak, sick and injured all starved to death, and the living young and strong thought that they could get an extra bite of food, but they did not expect that the food was still decreasing, and there was a great possibility that they would all starve to death.

In Xue Yantuo's fall, there is actually a nephew named Dumo Zhi who is the backbone of these more than 30,000 descendants. With less and less to eat, the Lamachs have become aware of the serious crisis, but it is useless to realize that the crisis is useless, because their people are already starving and have no strength to resist, and can only wait for death.

At this time, Lu Zhi found Uma Zhi and was willing to provide sufficient food for Xue Yantuo's subordinates and asked Uma Zhi to cooperate with him, so he naturally gained the trust of the other party.

In the past two days, Lu Zhi has passed Lehe, who is still in the Turkic camp, and has already sent a few full meals to Xue Yantuo's soldiers, according to yesterday's arrangement, tonight's incident, today should send all the food in Li Simo's camp, so that Xue Yantuo's soldiers can have a good meal, and then start a riot.

Lu Zhi waited in the camp all morning and did not see the person who delivered the food, and it was not until after noon that one of his subordinates came down to see him, saying that today the Tang army suddenly patrolled the neighborhood and detained all the food sent to Xue Yantuo to the camp.

Lu Zhi's face was gloomy when he heard the news, and he didn't know if Tang Jun knew about his plan to cut off food, or if Tang Jun originally planned to starve these Xue Yantuo soldiers to death.

But either way, they are already extremely dangerous.

Ban Lu Zhi turned his head to look at the Lama Zhi who was sitting beside him, and said gloomily: "It seems that something must happen tonight!" ”

Hearing this, Rumach also nodded heavily, he knew that tonight was their last chance, if they couldn't do something tonight, tomorrow these soldiers would no longer have the strength to resist.
