Litu's army returned to the city of King Tony three days later, but unfortunately he almost spurted out a mouthful of blood when he saw the banner on the head of the city, the cities of the kings of Jiaozhi were built according to the water, the Tang army actually divided the troops to attack his rear by water while fighting with him, the grain and grass of the Tubo army were all in the city of King Tony, and now all of them were taken away by the Tang army, they only had two ways to go, one was to break through the city to take back the grain and grass, and the other was to evacuate decisively, rob the grain of other small cities and ensure the supply of the army for the time being, Looking at the rows of Shenwei cannons at the head of the city, Li Tu, who was unprepared, felt that the first way would not work, so he could only smack his horse's ass fiercely and detour to other small walls.

Yang Lin arrived in the city of Tony after ten days, the army was warmly welcomed by the people of the city of Tony, the difference between the Tang army and the Tubo people is too great, not only do not take a stitch and thread from the common people, but also try their best to help the people in difficulty, and the Tubo people as soon as they enter the city to collect grain and grass to collect money, the first thing they do is to open a warehouse to release grain, appease the people, not only for the people to perform songs and dances, send wine and food, but also free to help them treat diseases and send medicine, can be described as a god descending to earth, In the past few days, the robbery and murder of the Tubo people around the Tony King City have spread to the Tony King City from time to time, which has further aggravated the thinking of the people in the territory of the Tony King to pro-Tang Army and hate the Tubo.

"Peng Dutong fought a good battle, especially the policy of treating the people with their hearts, although it is based on the gourd to draw the scoop, but the painting is very good, the treasure of Tony's palace will belong to you, I will do what I say, but the pension of the fallen soldiers will also belong to you, and the grain and grass and military funds will still be allocated to the army. You people can't be high-ranking officials, because you can't be die-hard loyalists of His Majesty, but follow me. At least let you be a rich man, pass on my orders, and the soldiers who break the city will be rewarded for weighing gold and silver, and everyone will be united in killing the Tubo people in one go. With Yang Lin's order, King Tony's city instantly turned into a sea of joy. Money is always the favorite thing of the people at the bottom, and with money, they can get great value enjoyment.

Yang Lin had only been repaired for three days in King Tony's City. The reason is that the cavalry of Tubo is constantly plundering the surrounding walls, and more and more Tony people are fleeing. So can't let him they run rampant anymore. The navy and the army went out together, leaving only 3,000 people and a dozen cannons to defend the city in King Tony, and the general who defended the city was simply Xie Feiyu Xie Deputy Dutong.

"I said, Lord Commander-in-Chief, will the Tibetans fall for the scheme? There are a lot of people in and out of this city, and if the news is revealed to them, what if they don't get into our trap! "Chachai, whose mind is getting better and better, is now a herald battalion school, and he is also an officer class, and he usually likes to get close to Yanglin. Having learned something, this time Yang Lin deliberately withdrew more than 40,000 troops from King Tony City with great fanfare. Just want to use the bait of Tony King City to tempt the Tubo people to attack, as long as they step into the range of fifty miles of Tony King City, they will enter the large encirclement built by Yanglin, don't look at Tony King City There are only 3,000 defenders, there are 300 people here who are Yanglin's personal guards, except for Xie Feiyu, who is in the army, as the chief officer, the remaining four guards of Yanglin, Zhao Yifa, Meng Yi and others are in the city.

"Don't worry! The hearts of the people and the hearts of the army are available, the people here are simple, they know who are the angels and who are the demons, now just after the autumn harvest, the Tubo people have gathered the grain produced under the rule of King Tony to the King of Tony, and now this city has been taken by us, other small cities can not afford to support him more than 20,000 people and more than 30,000 horses, only the mountain of grain and grass in the King of Tony can support them until the next season's grain output, so they have no choice, even to return to the Tibetan Plateau, because they do not have enough food and grass, We can't go to the plateau at all, so Li Tu's careless move has led him to lose all the games, what we have to do is to grasp the details of this war, let us die less, solve them at the lowest cost, and tell the sergeants below when the order is given, our lives are to stay and enjoy the blessings, but don't be taken away by the Tubo people, no matter what the situation, to ensure that your life is the most important. ”

If Yanglin's argument is said in front of Li Er or several generals in the court, it will definitely be criticized for being incomplete, but it is very useful to the Jiaozhi soldiers, in the invisible ideological education, they think that the Tang army led by Yanglin is the best army in the world, and the commander cares about the lives of the soldiers all the time, even if they lose the battle, they will still miss this team, as long as the commander does not die, where to wave the flag and shout, they will still come from all directions to vote, A soldier who died in battle can get a pension of 30 Datang copper coins, which is unimaginable to those Jiaozhi soldiers in the past, you must know that the food that can be bought in Jiaozhi with 30 copper coins is enough for a family of four or five people to eat for a lifetime.

Chachai happily summoned his men to give orders, there are still many things to do in the army, and it is not so easy to hide tens of thousands of people, but the Commander-in-Chief's method of hiding the army is really wonderful, and he is very confident that the army of the Tubo people will be completely wiped out under the city of King Tony.

When Yanglin was making various preparations to build an encirclement, Li Er's encirclement had already closed the net, tens of thousands of An Miao's old and young women and children were surrounded by the army in several giant holes, the Tang army had many means to deal with them, but the bloodless old and weak An Miao people had no intention of resisting, from the time when all their young men were killed, An Miao was actually no longer there, Li Er's order under his anger was still valid, and the soldering iron with words made by the sergeants overnight was burned one by one. From time to time, the sound of screams came from the exit of the cave, and people over the age of seven, both men and women, had to burn a slave word on their faces, which was a symbol of sin, and they would be driven by the soldiers into the mountains to build roads, and children under the age of seven would be treated the same when they reached the age of seven, and their children and grandchildren.

Xi Liang stood at the entrance of the cave for a long time, tears in her eyes and wanted to ask Li Er again one last time, she felt that it was too cruel to do this, the dead are not worthy of pity, mercy is useless, the living, especially the old and children, they don't need to have any expression, it will make people feel pity.

"Majesty, is this really the right thing to do? I read the battle report sent back by the regiment commander in Jiaozhi, he didn't kill anyone, and he didn't use so much torture, but where people are very welcome for him to rule, those people even took the initiative to offer their own melons and fruits to our Tang army at the gate of the city, and the last general felt that that was the most correct way, you put a brand on the faces of these people and their descendants, just to make them hate the Tang Dynasty for generations and curse the Tang Dynasty? ”

Xi Liang didn't understand Li Er's considerations, there were too many mountains here, so much that a hundred and a thousand carts of explosives could not be blown up, and the road repair team of tens of thousands of auxiliary soldiers was still not enough, only by using these defeated prisoners could the pressure on manpower be reduced, the military salary given by the Tang Dynasty to the soldiers of the Southern Expedition was a consistent monthly money, not including the consumption of food and some daily necessities, if these free laborers were obtained, the imperial court could save hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars a year, and put a slave seal, which was just a way to manage these captives, He also spoke out for the Tang soldiers who died, so that the living Tang soldiers were more interested in Tang.

"Battalion Commander Xiliang, this is not something you should worry about, besides, I would rather these aliens suffer, than the people of my Tang Dynasty to suffer, using them to open up these ten thousand mountains, it is much better than my Tang Dynasty recruiting conscription every year to open mountains and build roads, you still don't say much, if it is known by the ministers of the court, it may be included in you, light conscription and abolition of conscription are things that both the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and the Heavenly Endowment agree with, and now the solution is in front of me, I will not do what he thinks."

Although Li Er loves Xiliang, but he will not give in to this kind of state affairs, at this time he can't help but think of the eldest grandson's good come, in the harem, there is the eldest grandson as an example, no one dares to go against his own will, people who have been with Yanglin for a long time are not easy to use, all of them have their own thoughts, and they don't know the irreversible truth of Jun's will at all.

"To put it bluntly, His Majesty is not open-minded enough, and even wisdom is not enough, since the advice is against the ear, the last general will not be dry in front of His Majesty, and he will retire."

Xi Liang turned around and left, Li Er, who was angry, pointed to her back, "You" for a long time, and you didn't have a fart, Li Er, who had been stunned for a long time, suddenly laughed, and Ma Yongquan, who was addicted to the door curtain, didn't know why, this was the first time Li Er experienced the taste of quarrels between husbands and wives or lovers, and he really didn't have the experience of quarreling with women in his life. After a while, Li Er still picked up his imperial pen and wrote a pardon decree exempting children under the age of seven from future punishment.

The Tubo people still came as Yanglin expected, Li Tu was very cautious, first sent a few hundred cavalry teams to search for places near the Tony King City where people could hide, and only after making sure that there was no obstacle did they send an army of 5,000 people to feint to attack the Tony King City, poor Xie Feiyu They were obviously able to solve these cavalry very easily, and they had to pretend to be barely supported, and wanted to break through the siege and report the posture, after two days, Li Tu saw that there was no sign of the Tang army on the main road at all, so he prepared a large number of siege equipment to approach the Tony King City, and at this time, The Tang Army, which had been hiding in the Tibetan Cave for many days, finally had a chance to come out and breathe.

Tribulus terrestris and horse rejection piles were all taken out of the hole by the Tang army, Yanglin's main war elephant troops did go far, but after receiving the news that Litu's army was approaching Tony King City, they began to return, the encirclement was set up too big and useless, it was right to appear cleverly, and the timing of the encirclement was right, Peng Jian's marines on the battleship could quickly appear under the Tony King City, blocking the right side of the Tubo people, and Yanglin's war elephant army blocked the left side, burying explosives bags and thistles, The rear of the explosives pack has been turned into a dead ground, and the seemingly crumbling city in front of it hides tens of thousands of militiamen and countless kinds of equipment.
