Chapter 321: Yang Mou
Seeing that everyone's eyes had converged on him, Li Qing did not become arrogant for the victory just now, and thought very clearly in his mind about how to counterattack Tubo next, after all, with the current garrison in Songzhou City, he would definitely not be able to withstand Tubo's comeback again.

Although everyone has just won a big victory, Tubo conservatively estimated that at least more than 5,000 people were killed, but in order to achieve such a price, the Tang army also paid a lot of price, the west battalion of the city defense army lost 500 people, and the Maozhou soldiers and horses brought by the deputy general of Maozhou lost at least 600 people, as for the 3,000 soldiers and horses of Songzhou After five days of fighting, only more than 100 people remained, and they existed in name only.
As for the soldiers and horses of the Jianmen Army and the East Battalion of the City Defense Army brought by Li Qing subsequently, they were relatively small at any time, and more than 200 people were killed in each department, so it was almost equivalent to a one-to-one casualty, but even such a record was enough to be crowned.
After all, the weakness of the Jiannan Army has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the three thousand soldiers and horses brought by His Royal Highness King Shou from Chengdu are immature soldiers who have never experienced a baptism of war.
Looking at the people who couldn't hide their excitement on their faces, Li Qing still couldn't help but speak: "Generals, such a big victory this time is inseparable from the hard work of the generals. ā
Seeing that the young man in Xuanyi in front of him did not intend to monopolize the merits, but chose to distribute the merits that should have fallen on him to everyone equally, everyone's admiration was even stronger, although with everyone's scheming, it was naturally clear that the young man in front of him did not have the intention of buying people's hearts, but despite this, everyone also recognized it.
After all, in the face of such a great victory that is enough to shock the imperial court, there are very few generals who can resist this temptation, and everyone knows it. The reason why he was able to repel Tubo this time was that the young man in front of him should take the first credit, even if he took this credit alone, a kind of general in the hall would not have the slightest objection.
I thought that the main generals of Songzhou would be killed. Now that I see that not only has my life been saved, but also has a lot of credit waiting for me, how can I not be overjoyed in the comparison of the earth-shaking world, and even the young man in Xuanyi in front of me is also very grateful.
The generals looked at each other. Standing up, he bowed to Li Qing in unison, and said in a small but solemn voice: "Thank you Your Highness for your promotion, I am very grateful, but in the future, if there is an order, the general will definitely obey!" ā
Seeing that his goal has been achieved, a person who is not a top merit but can buy the surrender of the three main generals of Maozhou, Songzhou and the East Battalion of the City Defense Army, it is obviously a sure deal, Li Qing couldn't help but nod, this can be regarded as Li Qingzheng's bright plan. did not hide his intention to buy people's hearts in the slightest, and the reason why he did this was that Li Qing was determined that the group of people in front of him would definitely not let go of the rare opportunity to establish fame and share the cake of this victory.
The reason why Yangmou is called Yangmou is that the other party knows your intentions but has to willingly fall into the trap you build, which is the real charm of Yangmou!
In fact, Li Qing also has his own plans to do this, although the noble man who is far away in Chang'an is his father, but if he has too many military exploits, he will definitely be jealous. It is likely that in exchange for a one-by-one paper appointment.
Now His Majesty wants to kick Li Qing out of the capital and it is best never to regret it, but he also does not want Li Qing, the Shou King with his own blood, to rise strongly, if this is the case, His Majesty will definitely suppress it today. Li Qing thought so. Rather than being suppressed by it at that time and arousing the jealousy of some people with a heart, it is better to lie down at this moment and secretly buy people's hearts, so that they can not only be free from the jealousy of others, but also obtain real power. Why not?
After sketching a blueprint for everyone, Li Qing's tone changed, and he looked at the confident crowd around him and said: "The meritorious should be rewarded, and the guilty should also be punished, this king has always been a person with clear rewards and punishments, the deputy general of Songzhou stood in front of the enemy, fled from the battle, and ignored the people of Songzhou, such a selfish person should be given death to warn the thousands of soldiers who died in the first battle of Songzhou." ā
Ordered the painter to draw a portrait of the deputy general of Songzhou, and then in the name of the envoy of Jiannan Province, he informed the whole province: All counties and counties in Jiannan Province are not allowed to harbor this person, and once it is found, those who report the government will be rewarded! ā
Regarding Li Qing's orders, the guards on the side naturally did not dare to slack off, bowed down and said, "My subordinates will do it." After that, he turned around and walked towards the door, and for Li Qing's arrangement, everyone naturally did not have the slightest objection, and everyone was already extremely disdainful of the deputy general of Songzhou, who had never met and was rumored to be greedy for life and afraid of death.
The punishment of the deputy general of Songzhou is just a small episode, now the military situation is urgent, everyone knows that the Tubo soldiers outside the city are the henchmen of everyone at this moment, although this time it will be repulsed, but it is difficult to ensure that the other party will not notice the abnormality, make a comeback, and when the time comes, with the strength of Songzhou City at this moment, it will not be able to resist the Tubo attack again.
Seeing the calm lobby, Li Qing opened his mouth and said: "This time we have made Tubo suffer a big loss, Tubo is bound to not give up, how do you think we should deal with it next?" ā
The already silent hall became even more silent with Li Qing's words, and after about half an hour, the deputy general of Maozhou, who saw everyone thinking hard, stood up, arched his hand to King Shou, and then said: "Your Highness, with our strength at the moment, we don't have the strength to attack again, but on the contrary, although Tubo has just experienced a fiasco, there are still more than 10,000 people who dare to fight!" ā
"So the subordinates suggested, it is better for us to close the city gate, strengthen the city defense, and wait for the early arrival of the rescue team, when we are in a showdown with Tubo, and the subordinates guess that Tubo has just experienced a big war and suffered heavy losses, so we must rest for a few days, so we just get a place to breathe!" After all, the deputy general of Maozhou set his eyes on Li Qing, after all, everyone knows that no matter how good everyone says, it is just a suggestion, and in the end, it is the young man in Xuanyi who is handsome and handsome in front of Gao Zuotang at this moment.
Without waiting for Li Qing to speak, Mu Fan, who was sitting in the opposite corner, stood up and refuted on the spot: "Pang Jiangjun's words are wrong, even if Tubo has to rest for a few days, we will gain temporary stability, and when the time comes, the Tubo high-level who will be relieved will definitely understand when they think about the details of today's battle and our perseverance for a few days, and the Tang Army stationed in Songzhou at this moment is just an empty shelf with nothing to see. ā
When the time comes, Tubo will attack with all his might, does General Pang think that at this moment, the only 3,000 men and horses in our hands can withstand the endless attacks of Tubo, rather than the city will be destroyed by then, it is better to take advantage of the momentum to go out of the city to meet the enemy, even if the battle is dead, so that Tubo can see the blood of my hot-blooded man in the Tang Dynasty!
