Chapter 216: A Thousand Beheaded

Under the guidance of Su Dingfang, Li Chengqian took a turn in the camp of the Lanshan Department and returned to the pile of rags in the Lanshan Department.

At this time, the front of the pile of rags was already crowded with people, cattle and sheep, and thousands of people were not ghosts, and the herdsmen of the Lanshan Mountains were all looking at the furs piled up into a hill and tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses.

Seeing this, Xu Jingzong whispered to Li Chengqian: "His Royal Highness the Prince, if these herdsmen of the Lanshan Department are not properly handled, I am afraid that there will be problems. ”

Li Chengqian nodded thoughtfully, and stepped forward.

The herdsmen of the Lanshan Department knelt down and kowtowed when they saw Li Chengqian coming over, and many people had already digested what Li Chengqian had told them before on the way here, but they didn't know how to become a member of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Chengqian smiled and waved his hand, Liu Kui stepped forward and said loudly: "No courtesy." ”

After Xuanzang translated, the herdsmen of the Lanshan Department gradually got up.

Li Chengqian took two steps forward with a smile on his face and said loudly: "Do you see these things?" These things belong to the Lanshan Ministry, and you should have a share, but your leader not only took these things for himself, but also blasted you out of the Lanshan Ministry, do you want to take revenge? ”

Xuanzang translated Li Chengqian's words, the following Turks, you look at me, I see that you don't know how to answer for a while.

In their impression, the tribal things are all slurped, and if Qulusi is not given to them, they can't use it.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian's expression became stern, and he reprimanded loudly: "Have you forgotten that you are now from the Tang Dynasty? ”

Xuanzang was still silent below, and just when Li Chengqian was about to lose patience, a person walked out timidly.

first lay on the ground and kowtowed to Li Chengqian a few times, and then stood up and asked in stiff Chinese: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, we have become members of the Tang Dynasty, do we no longer have to abide by the rules of the Turks?" ”

Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction and said, "Of course, from now on, you only need to abide by the etiquette and laws of the Tang Dynasty?" If someone asks you to follow other rules, Datang will kill them. ”

Xuanzang saw that the person still didn't understand Li Chengqian's words after listening to them, so he hurriedly translated it aloud again.

The man was stunned for a moment, and then jumped up and cheered loudly with excitement: "Aoya......"

He cheered and preached his conversation with Li Chengqian to all the Turks.

Xuanzang explained to Li Chengqian what he said to the effect: "We are from the Tang Dynasty, and we don't have to be bullied by the leader anymore......"

Slowly, all the herdsmen of the Lanshan tribe cheered.

After Li Chengqian waited for them to be excited for a while, he raised his hands to stop them.

Again, he asked, "Do you want revenge?" ”

This time, when Xuanzang translated Li Chengqian's words into Turkic dialect, the eyes of those Turkic herdsmen flashed with hatred.

Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction and said, "Tomorrow, the Lone King will avenge you." ”

Xuanzang translated this sentence, and a group of herdsmen from the Lanshan Department took the initiative to salute Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian pointed to the large pile of rags and a piece of cattle and sheep and said to the herdsmen in the Lanshan Tribe: "These things will also be distributed to you tomorrow." ”

With Xuanzang's translation, the herdsmen of the Lanshan Department cheered again.

Li Chengqian saw that he had completely pacified these people, so he turned around and walked out, and said to Xuanzang as he walked: "Later, when these people return to the camp, Master Lao will pay attention." ”

When Xuanzang heard this, he folded his hands and bowed deeply to Li Chengqian: "The poor monk does his best." ”

Today, Li Chengqian originally planned to enter the big camp of the Lanshan Department and arrest them Tutunfa and the main generals first. Then they provoke their internal contradictions, and let these people who have been driven out of the tribe deal with those who remain in the tribe.

But because the Lanshan Department took the initiative to rebel, Li Chengqian gave the entire Lanshan Department a pot. These herdsmen who were bombed out have no object of hatred, and it is hard to guarantee that no one will make heavy promises to these people who were bombed out before to induce them to cause chaos.

Therefore, we must first try to stabilize these people, judging from the effect just now, if the surrendered Lanshan Department is in rebellion at night and its family members are in rebellion, these herdsmen of the Lanshan Department should stand on the side of the Tang Dynasty.

It was already late at night when Li Chengqian walked out of the camp of the Lanshan Division, because the form of the camp of the Lanshan Department was complicated, and Li Chengqian could not spend the night here, so he had to return to the camp built by the Tang Army five miles away to live.

Li Chengqian took the wounded soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to return to the camp of the Tang Dynasty under the escort of Wang Fangyiwei Chi Gong, and only slept after the wounded soldiers were settled, and the affairs of the Lanshan battalion were handed over to Su Dingfang.

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

In the early morning of the second day, Li Chengqian, accompanied by Wei Chigong and Wang Fangyi, went to check on the tent where the wounded soldiers lived, and saw that the wounded soldiers had scrubbed their wounds with alcohol, and their injuries showed no signs of deterioration.

However, this tent was not only simple but also unhygienic, so he ordered Wang Fangyi to send someone to dismantle the largest tent in the Turkic camp and move it here to build a camp for wounded soldiers.

When the wounded soldiers heard that Li Chengqian had not even eaten breakfast, they came to visit them first, and they were all excited and tearful.

Wei Chigong had been with Li Chengqian all the time, thinking that if in other armies, the soldiers who were wounded in such a hot summer would basically be dead or alive.

But here in Li Chengqian, because they had alcohol to clean their wounds, the wounds of these wounded soldiers did not thicken, although Li Chengqian looked simple and unpresentable, but there were also good buckets of ice, and it was not stuffy inside......

Wei Chigong was pleasantly surprised to find that most of these wounded soldiers survived according to various conditions.

Li Chengqian walked around the camp and saw that there was no problem, so he went back to the big tent of the Chinese army to have breakfast.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Li Chengqian was eating a simple breakfast when Wang Qun, whose eyes were red, walked in.

Because of Wang Qun's intelligence work, Li Chengqian ordered that Wang Qun could directly enter the account without passing through the communication.

Li Chengqian put down the bowl in his hand and swallowed the porridge before saying to Wang Qun: "Flat!" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led a group of subordinates to count the men, women, and children who surrendered in the Lanshan Department last night, with a total of 5,739 people, and 532 of them are the families and relatives of those generals."

When Li Chengqian heard that there were too few secret words, he asked, "Are these people within the Nine Clans?" ”

"Yes."

Li Chengqian thought for a while and said: "Then you go to Xuanzang and ask him to take the herdsmen of the Lanshan tribe that we have gathered, go to the rebel camp of the Lanshan tribe and select some people who are strong, vicious-looking or smart and clever to come out, and gather enough 1,000 people for the lone king before noon." ”

"Yes."

After Wang Qun walked out, Li Chengqian said to Liu Kui: "Pass the order of King Gu, order Xu Jingzong to take people to the gate of the camp of the Lanshan Department to level the field, and at three o'clock in the afternoon today, the King of Gu will behead the mastermind of the rebellion in front of the camp of the Lanshan Department. ”

"Yes!" Liu Kui was about to withdraw as soon as he bowed.

Li Chengqian remembered something and hurriedly said: "Chuan Cheng Wu is here to see the lonely king." ”

"Yes!" Liu Kui bowed again and withdrew.

Li Chengqian said that he continued to bow his head and eat......

When the time came, Wang Qun came to report again, saying that he had gathered enough 1,000 Lanshan rebels. Li Chengqian ordered Xue Rengui to summon everyone who could go to the gate of the Lanshan camp to wait for him.

When it was almost noon, Li Chengqian changed into a military uniform, and the sword of the county was escorted by Wang Fangyi and Wei Chigong in a four-looking car to the front of the Lanshan camp.

Li Chengqian saw that a square of several acres in size had been cleared out here, and a high platform was erected directly north of the square, on which a throne was set up, surrounded by Cheng Wuting personally with a thousand elite soldiers dressed in silver bright light armor.

Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui each led 1,000 elite soldiers to line up on the east and west sides of the square, and below them stood the herdsmen of the Lanshan tribe gathered by Li Chengqian, and the rebels and their families of the Lanshan tribe who surrendered last night knelt directly south of the square.

Xu Jingzong saw Li Chengqian's car coming, and ordered to beat the drum and raise the tent according to the military etiquette.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

I saw Li Chengqian wearing gold armor and a big red canopy on his shoulders, wearing a three-beam crown with gold and cicadas on his head, and the sword of the Son of Heaven with beads and inlaid treasures hanging from his waist, and was surrounded by a group of guards in the heavy drum beat and slowly walked up to the high platform.

When Li Chengqian stopped on the high platform, all the soldiers in the square followed the main general and shouted, "See His Royal Highness the Prince," and for a while, the sound shook the world.

The heroic Li Chengqian waved his hand vigorously, and Liu Kui immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "All the generals are flat!" ”

All the soldiers couldn't help but look up at Li Chengqian when they stood up straight, and saw that the majestic and heroic Li Chengqian was also looking at everyone heroically.

The people in the square couldn't help but feel broken.

The general of the Lanshan Division, who was kneeling in the center of the square, remembered what Wei Mijin had said to everyone before that the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty was a cripple, and scolded Wei Mijin a hundred times in his heart.

After everyone finished saluting, Li Chengqian sat on the throne under the umbrella cover, and Su Dingfang came out of the column and began to report the results to Li Chengqian again in front of the officers and soldiers of the whole army......

The sun slowly rose to noon, and Su Dingfang also retired after reporting the results of the battle.

Everyone knew that the highlight of the day was coming.

Li Chengqian got up and walked slowly to the front of the stage and looked at the small square with a serious atmosphere.

Similarly, thousands of people in the square also looked at Li Chengqian silently.

I saw Li Chengqian's eyes narrow, and he slowly pulled out the sword of the Son of Heaven at his waist, calmly pointed to the thousand Turkic generals and their relatives kneeling in the center of the square, and said lightly: "The time has come, behead them all!" ”

Li Chengqian's voice was not high, and only the Tang Dynasty soldiers on the high platform and those who stood closer to the high platform could hear it.

But this command exploded in everyone's hearts like a "thunderbolt".

For a moment, the whole small square could only hear the sound of the breeze stirring the leaves.

Everyone looked at Li Chengqian in disbelief, didn't they give the order to kill the mastermind?

Why do you have to kill a thousand people at once?

After a while, Xu Jingzong stood up and bowed down and begged: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this matter must not be allowed, these people have surrendered, and it is ominous to kill!" ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, these people can still fight for the Tang Dynasty!" Li Simo also hurriedly stood up and pleaded.

Li Chengqian didn't look back and said in an unquestionable tone: "They are traitors, so they should be punished!" After that, he shouted and ordered: "Cheng Wu is very hands-on!" ”

Cheng Wuting, who had been prepared a long time ago, immediately went out and said categorically: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

After that, he turned around coolly, and led a team of soldiers dressed in bright light armor with big s......words and walked towards the rebels of the Lanshan tribe kneeling in the center of the square.

Watching Cheng Wuting walk out, everyone knew that Li Chengqian had already arranged everything......

Cheng Wuting led people to the front of the rebels of the 1,000 Lanshan tribe and stood neatly, and then walked out of five soldiers with big knives in their hands, these five soldiers walked in front of the rebels of the Lanshan tribe, and each of them lifted a general of the Lanshan tribe who was tied up by five flowers and walked a few steps to the north.

Then he put them on the ground and made them kneel facing south, then raised his steel knife and swung it at their necks.

"Bang bang ......"

Five beams of bright red blood spewed out in the sun, and the bodies and heads of the five people fell into the dust.

Then five more soldiers came out and lifted up five people.

Swing the glaring steel knife violently

The sky splattered with blood,

Heads fall to the ground......

In fact, less than a hundred people were killed by more than a dozen groups of soldiers in such a row, but the people in the entire square couldn't help but feel cold in their hearts.

Every time the people in the vicinity watched the heads of the five Lanshan people being cut off, they couldn't help but look back at Li Chengqian, who had always had a calm face.

A thought arose in my heart, the reincarnation of Qin Shi Huang.

This chapter was really hard to write, and I'm mostly satisfied. Originally, the day before yesterday I wrote the content of the head-on conflict between the Tang Army and the Lanshan Department, but I want to use the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty to fight against the nameless people of the Lanshan Department, it is not interesting, and there is a big battle between the East Palace and several tribes in the back, if you write about the frontal conflict on the grassland battlefield now, it will be repeated with the later ones!
