Chapter 215: You Are the Tang Dynasty!
In the shouts of killing, the night crept up from the sky.
Li Chengqian sat in the car and listened to the earth-shattering shouts of killing in front of him, anxiously and calmly waiting for the end of the battle.
It turned out that after Xue Rengui shot Wei Mijin with an arrow, he shot several arrows one after another, killing several important people in the Lanshan Department in a row, and the Lanshan Army's military array was suddenly in chaos.
Xue Rengui and Cheng Wuting led their troops and horses to outflank them from both sides.
Seeing that everything was going well, Su Ding sent someone back to Li Chengqian: Later, he will invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go to the camp of the Lanshan Department for dinner.
Although he was reassured, Li Chengqian was still a little nervous while sitting in the car.
Soon half an hour passed, and the shouting of killing gradually became smaller, Li Chengqian breathed a long sigh of relief, slowly shook the folding fan twice, got up and walked out of the carriage.
The minds of everyone guarding outside the car were also on the battlefield, and at this time, the sound of shouting and killing became less and less, and the sound became farther and farther away, knowing that the victory ahead was decided, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Wang Fangyi was about to report to Li Chengqian in the carriage, when he saw Li Chengqian walking out of the carriage slowly with his hands in his sleeves, and said to Li Chengqian excitedly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the shouting and killing in front of you are gradually decreasing, and I think that a big victory is imminent." ”
"Hmm!" Li Chengqian nodded when he heard this, and helped Liu Kui get out of the car, Wang Fangyi and Wei Chigong also hurriedly jumped off the war horse to escort Li Chengqian.
Seeing this, Li Simo, who was a little farther away, also jumped off the war horse and surrounded Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian looked at everyone and showed a bright smile and said, "Since the victory is decided, let's go to the back with King Gu to see those herdsmen!" ”
Wei Chigong and Wang Fangyi didn't think much about it, and Li Simo felt a little strange when he heard that Li Chengqian didn't call the Turkic herdsmen behind him Turks.
Li Chengqian led people to the place where the Turkic herdsmen were, and Xu Jingzong and Xuanzang hurriedly led everyone to salute Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian waved his hand to signal them to flatten, and then slowly swept his gaze towards these people with the help of fire.
Although he couldn't see their specific expressions clearly, Li Chengqian could clearly feel that these Turkic herdsmen were not as natural to him as before, and although they saluted him respectfully, their voices and faces were a little stiff.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but look at Xu Jingzong, Xu Jingzong hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the Prince Qiqi, these Turks are worried that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will blame them for the Lanshan rebellion. ”
It's true?
Li Chengqian didn't dare to be sure and looked at Xuanzang again, Xuanzang saw that Li Chengqian seemed busy and nodded and said, "It's indeed as Master Xu said." ”
Hearing this, Li Chengqian stepped forward, looked at the Turkic herdsmen in front of him who were looking at him with some fear, and said with a smile: "The Lone King knows that you will be very scared, so the Lone King himself came to tell you that the Lone King will not blame you." ”
Some of these people understood Li Chengqian's words and immediately screamed with joy, but most of them were still frightened.
Xuanzang hurriedly stepped forward and translated Li Chengqian's words loudly, and all of a sudden, all of a sudden, the Turks knew that Li Chengqian did not blame them, and they all jumped up with joy.
With a smile on his face, Li Chengqian looked at the group of people who were not ghosts and ghosts and cheered loudly, and only raised his hand after a while to signal them to stop.
Li Chengqian said to them in a sincere tone: "Your leader has deceived you, your tribe has not been blackmailed by the shepherds of the Tang Dynasty, and your cattle, sheep and horses are still in that camp......
Although your leader doesn't want you anymore, in the eyes of King Lone, you are still my people of the Tang Dynasty...... Are you willing to be a Tang Dynastyman? ”
When Li Chengqian said Xuanzang and translated it, all the Turkic herdsmen were skeptical, but they didn't dare to speak at will because of Li Chengqian's noble status.
Li Simo stood behind Li Chengqian, and the more he listened, the more confused he became, and he secretly wondered in his heart what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was doing when he said this to these untouchables?
Now that Datang has won the Lanshan Ministry, these untouchables will naturally be driven by Datang willingly......
And the other civil and military forces of the Tang Dynasty also felt that Li Chengqian's words were a bit redundant, and the Lanshan Department surrendered and rebelled, and now that the victory of the Tang Dynasty has been decided, it is also appropriate to destroy the entire Lanshan Department.
However, Li Chengqian knew very well in his heart that he could order the slaughter of the people of the Lanshan tribe today, and the strong army in his hand could also order the slaughter of the entire Eastern Turks tomorrow, and he could even force all the tribes in the north and south of the desert to the west.
However, this grassland is still here, and other barbarian tribes will be enemies with the Central Plains, and only by completely bringing this place under the rule of the Central Plains Imperial Court can the future troubles be eliminated forever.
These people in the Lanshan Department are his first experiments, and there will be many nomadic tribes to become the Tang Dynasty, since the Qin Dynasty, China rarely took the initiative to integrate with a minority when it was strong, and the so-called national integration in history is the history of blood and tears of the Han nation.
What Li Chengqian had to do was to turn the northern herders into Han Chinese when China was at its strongest, but they were Han herdsmen......
While Li Chengqian was speaking awkwardly, the battle in front was completely over, and Su Dingfang sent people to welcome Li Chengqian into the camp of the Lanshan Department.
Because he had been sitting in the car for too long just now, and now he still had a sore back and legs, Li Chengqian refused to ride in the car, and in order not to make a fool of himself, Li Chengqian did not ride a horse, so he directly led his ministers to walk to the Turkic camp.
After Xu Jingzong and Wang Fangyi discussed, they ordered the guards of the East Palace to line up two long lines in front of Li Chengqian's car, leaving a large road in the middle, and the guards on both sides raised blazing torches to illuminate the road for Li Chengqian.
Xu Jingzong, who was wearing a red official robe, and Li Simo, who was shining in armor, were the leads, one left and one right.
Li Chengqian walked slowly through the middle with a cane.
Yu Chigong and Wang Fangyi held sharp weapons in their helmets, and followed him closely with dozens of elite guards with vigorous steps.
Behind him was the solemn and majestic crown prince's guard of honor, and finally the thousands of Turks led by Xuanzang followed from afar.
Li Chengqian waved to the soldiers on both sides from time to time as he walked forward, and when he walked to the back, he saw that some of the soldiers who had withdrawn from the front were injured, and he stepped forward to comfort them a few words.
Until Li Chengqian walked to the door of the Turkic camp, Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui, Cheng Wuting and others had already dismounted and waited for the marquis, and when they saw Li Chengqian approaching, they hurriedly got down on one knee and said sonorously: "Minister Su Dingfang (Xue, Cheng) See His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Seeing this, Li Chengqian hurriedly stepped forward to help the three people up, and looked at the three of them with satisfaction: "Thank you for your hard work!" ”
"Don't dare!" The three of them bowed again.
Li Chengqian first helped Su Dingfang up with his own hands, looked at it and said sincerely: "General Wen Taowuluo is the time to make contributions to the Tang Dynasty!" ”
"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!" Su Dingfang was very moved.
Today, Li Chengqian put aside the highly decorated Wei Chigong and let him command the first battle of the crown prince's fledgling. It can be seen that Li Chengqian trusts him very much, and Su Dingfang thought in his heart at that time: If you meet such a master, you must do your best to die.
Li Chengqian walked up to Xue Rengui and helped him up, looked at Xue Rengui and said with a smile: "Rengui is brave and brave and the lonely king can rest assured, but you have to learn more about General Su's method of arranging troops, and you can stand alone as soon as possible." ”
"Obey the order!" Xue Rengui is categorical.
Li Chengqian walked in front of Cheng Wuting again, Cheng Wuting had already stood up straight by himself at this time, and was looking at Li Chengqian with hope, waiting for Li Chengqian to praise him a few words.
I didn't want Li Chengqian to see a scratch on his face, so he gently stroked his wound and asked, "Can you scrub it with alcohol?" ”
Cheng Wuting hurriedly smiled and said, "I have already asked the doctor to scrub it with alcohol just now, and the minor injury is fine." ”
Li Chengqian deliberately lowered his face and said: "This time is just a small battle, why are you injured?" ”
Cheng Wuting: "I-"
Looking at Cheng Wuting's aggrieved look, Li Chengqian smiled at everyone: "After all, he is still a child." ”
Everyone looked at Cheng Wuting and laughed when they heard this, Cheng Wuting knew that Li Chengqian was intentionally teasing him, and he couldn't help blushing when he heard everyone laughing.
Li Chengqian patted him on the shoulder and said, "Wu Ting played very well today, but you can't be proud, and you have to learn from General Su and Rengui." ”
Cheng Wuting nodded when he heard this, and Li Chengqian continued: "That's it, when you deal with the things on the battlefield, you write a summary of this battle." ”
"Huh?" Cheng Wuting has been dancing with guns since he was a child and has a young heart that does not like to write, so he couldn't help frowning when he heard this.
Li Chengqian ignored him and turned to Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui and said: "Rengui also wrote a copy, mainly to summarize your views on this battle, to write clearly why the Tang Dynasty won the Lanshan Department and why it was defeated, what the Lanshan Department did well, and where did my Datang do not do well in this battle."
If there is another fight, what improvements does Datang need to make......
When you have finished writing, give it to General Su and ask him to point out your shortcomings. ”
The three of them listened to Li Chengqian's solemn words, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "The minister obeys the order." ”
Li Chengqian laughed and said, "Okay! Now let's take the Lone King in first. ”
Li Chengqian followed Xue Rengui and walked a few steps forward, and saw dozens of Turkic generals in old iron armor kneeling in front of him.
Seeing Li Chengqian coming, these Turkic generals kept kowtowing to Li Chengqian, which was not only begging for Li Chengqian's life, but also showing respect for the strong.
Li Chengqian looked at them expressionlessly, turned his head and asked Su Dingfang, "Are all the Turkic nobles of the Lanshan Department here?" ”
Su Dingfang said: "Exactly! ”
Li Chengqian asked again: "How many people are there?" ”
Su Dingfang said: "There are fifty-seven people here"
Li Chengqian nodded and continued to walk forward, asking Su Dingfang, "How many people in the Lanbu camp have surrendered now?" ”
"There are about four or five thousand people, and the exact number has not yet been reported."
When Li Chengqian heard this, he said to Liu Kui, who was walking beside him: "Go and tell Wang Qun not to sleep tonight, and take someone to count the number of people who surrendered in Lanshan."
The point was to single out all those who were related to the Turkic aristocracy. ”
"Yes!"
Li Chengqian was walking forward but saw a large pile of rags blocking the way, Li Chengqian looked at Su Dingfang in puzzlement.
Su Dingfang hurriedly said to Li Chengqian: "These are the treasures of the Turks of the Lanshan Tribe. ”
It turned out that because the Lanshan tribe had planned to kidnap Li Chengqian and escape after the war, their belongings were also packed in advance, including cattle, sheep and horses.
Now that the Ju clan has been captured, the property has been dumped together, and the Tang army has been searched and inspected.
Li Chengqian stood in front of a large pile of rags and secretly rejoiced in his heart, these Turkic nobles had done a good job for King Gu.
He turned around and ordered: "Later, bring all the Turkic herdsmen in the back here, and drive the cattle, sheep and horses of the Lanshan tribe here." ”
