"This is a tyrant's trip, Your Majesty think twice!" Mu Baiyi couldn't help but say.

"Tyrant? How can the right and wrong in this world be so clear, for the emperor, the person who has made a lot of achievements, which one is not a tyrant? Li Yuan sneered.

"Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall, opened a straight road, and levied conscription, although the remnants of the Six Kingdoms did not dare to be angry, but the First Emperor collapsed, and the world tilted,

Although Your Majesty has a strong army now, if it is ten years from now? Twenty years from now?

These people regard His Majesty as an enemy, and once the center changes, it will be in danger! An official came in and sighed.

"Then kill them all!" Li Yuan frowned and said, "There are many people in the world like ants, and the people who occupy the city regard me as their enemy, but what about the other people?

I set up the Green Seedling Law, so that the people no longer worry about spring ploughing, and also put an end to private usury, how many people will benefit?

I reward the people for reclamation, how many wastelands in the Jianghan Plain have become fertile land, and the people are rich, can they hate me? ”

The hundred officials were silent, the Emperor Taishang was a good emperor, impeccable in the Tang Dynasty, but after he arrived in the city, he suddenly became a tyrant.

Although they understand that this is not to be done, as officials, it is inevitable that they will have mercy, and the Confucian heart is rooted in the heart, although they can carry a sword against the enemy, but they also have mercy to the people.

No one is wrong, but providence is so.

"The ministers obey." Baiguan bowed deeply.

Today's edict seems to be an expedient measure, but in the history books, it will become a stain that is difficult for the emperor to wash.

Such a emperor, they understand and admire.

But still stand up and make a sound.

......

In the city of Champa, wails were everywhere.

The inhumane and ferocious soldiers of the Tang Army began to plunder the city, and the previous three days of sealing the knife were only to rob the rich class, but this time it was a cruel and inhumane exploitation of all the people who occupied the city.

Countless Cham people cried and pleaded in the streets, and bloody Cham men picked up farm tools and fought with Tang soldiers, but to no avail, their heads were cut off with horizontal knives and hung on the gatehouse, row after row, especially bloody.

In addition to looting food and treasure, the Tang soldiers cut off the thumbs of all the men who occupied the city, so that they no longer had the possibility of resisting the rebellion.

It can be said that Li Yuan's order this time was extremely cruel.

A hundred years later, some surviving people secretly wrote about the many atrocities of the Emperor Taishang in the wild history, which was so black that it was incomplete.

Rows of men in Champa were driven by Tang soldiers with shackles to build the city walls, and the green bricks were dismantled from the walls of the people's homes.

They all dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and if they did anything unusual, they would be discovered by the Tang soldiers, and they would be beaten at least and killed directly.

The soldiers of the Tang Army once became the devil in the minds of the people of Zhancheng.

"Chiefs, in front of me is the royal capital of my Linyi country, but unfortunately my king is occupied by the fierce Tang people, I hope that all tribes will work hard to capture the city, and the great grace and virtue of my Abe are not unforgettable." Abe also looked eagerly at the barbarian chieftains riding on the elephants.

The further south you go, the less civilized it is, and these five small states in the south used to be regarded as barbarians in the hearts of the Linyi State, probably similar to the Central Plains in the Quartet, and their relationship with the Linyi State was good and bad.

The small states of the five tribes also wanted to enter the city and occupy the city, and when they saw that Abe, the prince of Linyi, was still pleading, they naturally rejoiced in their hearts, and hurriedly gathered troops and horses to prepare to attack the city.

Although the Tang Kingdom is big, they are frogs at the bottom of the well, and they don't know that Yelang is arrogant.

It is said that their territory was originally near the Yelang Kingdom of the Han Dynasty, and they thought that their tribe was the strongest.

The black army was chaotic, the swarthy barbarians were scurrying around with spears, and there were even some rhinoceros, tigers, jackals and other wild beasts inside, and the equipment was also rudimentary, and the armor was woven with rattan and smeared with tung oil.

Among them, the most conspicuous is the nearly 1,000 giant elephants, lined up like a wall of flesh.

Compared with the barbarians in the south, the elephant soldiers in the Linyi and Zhenla kingdoms are relatively few, because their land has been cultivated in large quantities for crops, while the land further south is still like a primeval forest, where wild beasts are rampant, and there are many habitats for elephants.

Of course, there are less than 200 elephants domesticated by them, but the head elephants in the herd are domesticated by them, and the herd naturally migrates with the head elephants.

Nearly a thousand giant elephants moved together, plus these fifty or sixty thousand people, and the ground rumbled like an earthquake.

Because of this, the Tang army in Zhancheng also discovered the enemy situation in time.

"Prepare for battle!" The general of the Tang Army shouted.

In an instant, the soldiers at the head of the city wound their bows and crossbows, and the trebuchets and artillery carts on the corner towers and horse faces were also installed with huge stones.

There was a fire burning on the wall, and dung, or gold juice, was boiling inside.

There are also wooden-handled grenades that were not used up in the last war, and boxes are piled up there.

"Hurry up, don't rub it off!" The Tang soldiers whipped the group of men who occupied the city with whips, and they carried stones the size of millstones in their hands as consumables for defending the city.

In order to ensure that the people defending the city did not make trouble, the Tang soldiers strictly ordered them not to go up to the city wall, and to kill one by one.

"Brothers, Tang Jun deceived me too much, but on the contrary!" A middle-aged man wiped a handful of hot sweat and angrily threw the stone on his hand on a Tang Army soldier.

None of the Tang soldiers paid attention, fell to the ground, the boulder pressed against their chests, and died violently.

All the nearby Tang troops were like frightened birds, quickly assembled and surrounded these people.

Soon, a hole opened in the encirclement, and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion walked out, holding flintlock pistols with extremely accurate shots.

In less than a moment, nearly 100 people who occupied the city were killed, and rivers of blood flowed.

The other people who watched the excitement of the city had palpitations, and they didn't dare to look directly at the Tang soldiers, and obediently carried the stones.

They don't want to suffer such a sudden situation, and they are simply powerless.

If it is a cold weapon, they can also exchange ten people for one person by means of casualties, but under a hot weapon, they can directly end it with one bullet.

The people of Champa who were killed and suppressed also weakened their thoughts of resistance.

It was just a robbery of the stockpile, not a killing......

As long as you don't resist.

There are always the majority of those who are lucky, and only one or two men with blood and courage appear, and the one-sided slaughter frightens the courage of the rest.

It's always better to live than to die.

They began to resent the Blood Warriors......

If you want to die, don't get involved with us.

And the Tang soldiers on the city wall, at the moment, only have the enemy army in the distance in their minds, and the black pressure of the giant elephant makes the entire city wall seem a little narrow.

Some of the frightened soldiers did not wait for the elephant soldiers to arrive, and the commander behind them would pat them on the head and start reprimanding them to stop panicking.
