Su Dingfang and the others were stunned when they heard this, and they didn't know what to say.

Cheng Wuting saw that they didn't speak, and asked in a loud voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is dedicated to the Tang Dynasty and goes deep into the barren land, and he regards you as the minister of the humerus, why can't you take a little weight of His Royal Highness the Prince's hard work?"

Su Dingfang and Xu Jingzong both lowered their heads when they heard this, and Wei Chigong wanted to say something, but looking at Li Chengqian, who was only difficult to step out of the hanging basket with the support of several people on the arrow tower, he finally just sighed.

They also know that Li Chengqian's painstaking efforts are all for the Tang Dynasty, and in the past year, Li Chengqian has been in Chang'an, and he can almost be called a saint, and he has come to the north to kill and decide.

However, some killings are too much, and it is not acceptable for them to use killing to intimidate the small tribes that have already surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.

You must know that in their experience, people's hearts are unstable, but they are a big trouble, and they scare others into trembling, how can others be of the same mind as you

To tell the truth, they oppose Li Chengqian doing this, and in their hearts they really have the courage and loyalty to do good for Li Chengqian, but now they have some doubts in their hearts, can they themselves be right?

Li Chengqian stood firm on the arrow tower, and only after taking a long breath did he look at the ice city below, only to see a circle of corpses of Xue Yantuo's pawns falling along the surrounding ice walls, each corpse had several feather arrows inserted in it, and there were patches of mottled blood on the snow under the corpses.

The soldiers who were not dead in the middle of the ice city were all half-dead and huddled together, numb to the outside world, and were completely waiting for death.

Li Chengqian observed the situation in Bingcheng, and Wang Fangyi next to him snorted for a long time before he made up his mind and said: "Please give an order if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to do something, and the minister will personally go to give orders for His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

When Li Chengqian heard this, his heart moved and he knew that the bitter meat plan was effective, but his face was still impassive, and he didn't look at Wang Fangyi's expression and said proudly: "If King Gu gives an order directly, will there be no one to pass the order?"

Wang Fangyi was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself, why don't you just give an order

Li Chengqian glanced down, and saw that Su Dingfang and the others had not come up yet, so he stretched out his hand and patted the wooden fence twice and said loudly: "You guys come up quickly, what are you doing down there?"

When Su Dingfang heard this, he climbed up the arrow tower first, and Xu Jingzong and several people hurriedly followed, only Cheng Wuting took his personal guards to guard under the arrow tower as a guard.

For the enemy, Li Chengqian never wanted to convince people with virtue, but he could only convince people with virtue to the people around him, although these people clearly opposed his approach, but he knew that there was no ill will towards him.

And in addition to dealing with enemies other than Datang, he also has to deal with enemies within Datang.

Recently, he received a lot of news from Li Shimin, who at that time, in order to stabilize his position and Li Chengqian's position, took all the ministers who opposed Li Chengqian to the north.

The people left behind in Chang'an are all ministers who support Li Chengqian, and anyway, Li Chengqian can't go back outside, so there is no need to worry about these ministers supporting Li Chengqian behind his back.

Because these people are loyal to Li Chengqian, they will definitely crack down on all forces that oppose him and Li Chengqian in the DPRK and China, so that he can rest assured that he will be able to personally conquer the army.

As a result, Li Shimin's surroundings have now become a gathering place for ministers who oppose Li Chengqian, and it is certain that these people gathering around Li Shimin will be detrimental to Li Chengqian, not to mention that there are people like Fang Xuanling who have a great influence on Li Shimin

If Li Chengqian can't unite the people around him now, even if he forcibly does things here according to his own ideas, when the coalition forces of the two sides fight against the coalition forces of various ethnic groups in Mobei, Li Chengqian will not be able to fully realize his plan.

When Li Chengqian thought about these things, Su Dingfang and the others also climbed the arrow tower, looked at the situation in the ice city, and knew that Li Chengqian had something to say, so they all stood on the arrow tower silently.

After a while, I only heard Li Chengqian's voice and asked lightly: "What are the common characteristics of these Xue Yantuo soldiers?"

"Ugh"

A few people didn't know what Li Chengqian meant, so naturally they couldn't answer.

Li Chengqian waited for a moment and then said: "They are all very young, and they are the people of Xue Yantuo's department. ”

Hearing this, several people fell silent again.

Li Chengqian continued: "King Gu once said that all the tribes in the grasslands of the north and south of the desert are rising and falling, but they are always for the sake of China, so they must govern the grasslands. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Gao Zhan, Yuanzhu, and other ministers admire." Xu Jingzong hurriedly said.

A light smile appeared at the corner of Li Chengqian's mouth, and then said: "You should also have heard that King Gu told King Wu that he would continue to be crowned king overseas."

This is also something written in the "Tang Ten-Year Plan", they naturally know it, but at this time, Li Chengqian mentioned that it was obviously not so simple, and he couldn't help but think about it deeply.

I thought that with the overseas kings, there is another thing that has been widely spread, that is, Li Chengqian's theory that it is necessary to destroy the upper echelons of the country to destroy the country, so that the people of the country will forget who their ancestors are and forget their own culture, and then educate the people of their country to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, they all felt that the places that Li Chengqian wanted to divide were all barren lands overseas, and even if there were people on the island, they were just some wild people who drank blood, so everyone didn't care.

But when I heard it at this time, I suddenly realized that what Li Cheng did in the north was not done in accordance with his theory that destroying his country would destroy his upper echelons.

Li Chengqian saw that they had almost thought clearly, so he continued: "Of course, it is not so easy to practice the theory of destroying the country of the lonely king here, but the work of education still has to be realized.

Ten years of life and gathering, ten years of upbringing, a powerful Yue country appeared.

But if I, Datang, have been educated here for ten years, can I educate all the people here to become the people of Datang?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince, eloquent and far-sighted, ten years later, the north and south of the desert are not afraid that it will not become a paradise in China." When it comes to indoctrination, Xu Jingzong thinks he has the right to speak.

Li Chengqian was noncommittal, but pointed to the people in the ice city and asked: "But what should these people do, kill these people, this land will naturally give birth to other people, and the Tang army will rise up and make trouble when he leaves, what should I do?"

Several people were asked by Li Chengqian, if they knew what to do, they would not have gone out alone in Mobei more than a thousand years later.

Li Chengqian didn't wait for him to answer when he saw that a few people were stunned, and said directly: "As soon as King Gu said that he wanted to govern the north and south of the desert and become an immortal feat, all of you were in a mood, but if you really want to implement it step by step, you are afraid after thinking about it. ”

When several people heard this, although they were on the arrow tower, they still knelt down on their knees and said, "The ministers are guilty." ”

Li Chengqian still didn't let them go, and asked in a cold voice: "Are you doing this worthy of the Lone King or the sky?"

The heavens have given you birth in the world, and the lonely king has sent you to make you famous, but you dare not go forward! ”

After listening to Li Chengqian's words, several people were frightened, and their faces changed dramatically.

Last year, when Li Chengqian summoned Xue Rengui, it was rumored that there was a rumor in Chang'an City, and everyone said: Li Chengqian and Xue Rengui were monarchs and ministers in their previous lives.

Later, Li Chengqian got a book from Qin Chen, and he also made gunpowder, a thunderous weapon.

It was rumored that Li Chengqian was the reincarnation of Qin Shi Huang, and later Li Shimin felt that if Li Chengqian was the reincarnation of Qin Shi Huang, then he would be too embarrassed, so he ordered to ban such rumors.

At this time, when several people heard Li Chengqian say this, they all remembered those legends.

"It is said that the way of heaven is good, my China since the rebellion of the eight kings of the Western Jin Dynasty, caused five chaos in China, I don't know how many Han people were slaughtered by Beidi, and today His Royal Highness the Prince descended from heaven is the time to take revenge.

The ministers did not know what to do, but they regarded it as conventional, and they really owed the grace of His Royal Highness the Prince, and asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to punish him. ”

The first to react was Xu Jingzong, and the others were also busy when they heard this: "Please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to punish the crime." ”

Li Chengqian felt that they seemed to have repented but were still not at ease, and then said: "Monarchs and ministers, if you don't want to make this meritorious service, the lone king is not reluctant, these Xue Yantuo soldiers have been frightened at this moment, and they may be able to do coolies for a few years if they are released......

"Your Highness can't do that! These people are capricious and must be killed in order to deter the surrounding barbarians. Su Dingfang hurriedly stopped Li Chengqian from speaking.

Xu Jingzong, who was next to him, also hurriedly suggested: "Please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to send down the order of the Lingzhou Metropolitan Government to summon the leaders of the nearby tribes to come and congratulate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on breaking Xue Yantuo." ”

Wei Chigong didn't know what to say when he heard this, and sighed in his heart that these two goods had changed their faces too quickly.

When Li Chengqian got the result he wanted, he laughed and said, "Okay! Just do what Master Xu said, as long as our monarchs and ministers are single-minded, governing this northern land is nothing. ”

"Yes!" Su Dingfang and Xu Jingzong said excitedly.

Wang Fangyi couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw this, what do you do according to what Master Xu said, didn't you put forward this opinion

"Okay, let's all be even!" Li Chengqian said in high spirits.

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!"

After this matter was decided, Su Dingfang and Xu Jingzong were also much more relaxed, after all, they were also under a lot of pressure to oppose Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian waited for them to stand up, and then said lightly: "Bachelor Xu should have read the Book of Wei if he studied the Book of Sui, and when he arrived in the Northern Wei Dynasty, many foreigners still changed their surnames to Liu when they changed their surnames, and Bachelor Xu can know the reason."

This asked Xu Jingzong's own work naturally clear, and he hurriedly said: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, when Yi Di changed his Han surname in the Northern Wei Dynasty, he changed his surname Liu more often because the surname Liu was the royal surname of the Han family, and the two Han Dynasty were powerful and the four Yi were shocked, and when they arrived in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the four Yi still took the surname Liu as their noble surname. ”

Li Chengqian sighed when he heard this: "Yes! It has been two or three hundred years since the Northern Wei Dynasty went to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but at that time, the Siyi still respected the strong Han, could it be that the strong Han only practiced benevolence and righteousness to the Siyi?"

Wei Chigong had been listening to the side, because it was involved that Li Chengqian wanted to subdue his generals, he had been difficult to interject, but at this time he couldn't help but say: "No wonder Your Majesty often says that you are afraid of power and not virtue." To deal with Yidi, of course, it is necessary to show its authority. I couldn't help but blush as I spoke.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian continued: "You guys were different in their hearts before! Several people looked ashamed when they heard this.

Li Chengqian's heart blossomed when he saw this, and said secretly: Although Li Shimin said so, he could only defeat the other party by force, and as for killing and killing pawns and using them to demonstrate to small tribes, I am afraid that he would not do it.

Li Chengqian led a few people down the arrow tower, and then ordered the nearby Xiaoluo to come and congratulate him on his defeat of Xue Yantuo.

It's just that this is the foothold of Yi Nanxuan, and there is a distance from all the tribes of the Tang Dynasty, and it will take some time for the leaders of these tribes to come.
