They don't know what the situation is at all, isn't Datang the most benevolent and consultative? Even if we make mistakes, will we be forgiven?

The place where we are located is called Youzhou, which was specially set up by the Tang Emperor to forgive us for the crimes we committed before, and Yan'en County, where the Kuanyou Rule, was built by the Prime Minister Niu Xianke under the order of the Tang Emperor.

Yan En is the meaning of continuing the grace, indicating that the Tang Dynasty will continue to extend the favor to the Liuzhou Hu who moved back here. In the past thirty years, it is true that the Tang Dynasty Mansion and the surrounding Shuofang Army and the Hedong Army have not committed any offence against them.

But what's going on now? Half an hour ago, shortly after dark, this group of Tang cavalry secretly outflanked them from four directions, and then without saying a word, they began to kill.

Their husbands, the children's fathers, immediately knelt down and begged not long after the killing began, but these brightly armored Tang cavalrymen still cut off their heads without any hesitation, even the half-grown boys.

Li Qi sat next to Xiao Quzhi with a pale face, and looked at Xiao Qubing in confusion as he was destroying a leg of mutton, the master was too good to eat, and it was only less than half an hour that he had almost eaten a whole sheep.

"Why don't you eat it?" Xiao Quzhi deliberately asked knowingly: "Why doesn't it suit your appetite?" ”

"Why? Master, you are killing innocents indiscriminately, and they have already knelt on the ground and begged to surrender. Even if Master doesn't want them to reveal the whereabouts of the army, he can trap them all. Why do you have to kill them? ”

Xiao Quzhi took a golden-roasted whole lamb from the bonfire rack and cut off a leg of lamb with a dagger: "I don't talk to hungry people. ”

Li Qi quickly finished eating this leg of mutton, and choked a little, Xiao Quzhi handed over a bowl of warm mutton soup, he leaned his neck and drank it, still looking at Xiao Quzhi in a daze: "Why?" ”

Xiao Quzhi glanced at Amir Jiang, who was sneering beside him, and suddenly asked, "Amir Jiang, what do you think?" ”

Amir Jiang brought a hundred Ge Lulu guards this time and followed Gao Xianzhi all the way to Chang'an to offer Jie. Because he stood firmly on the side of the Tang Dynasty in the Battle of Talas, Amirjiang was commended by Li Longji and was named the king of Jinshan County.

And his father, Don Viga, was also pardoned for this reason, as Xiao Qu was expected to be ill, and . Bo Xilin was detained and guarded in Chang'an together.

This time, Xiao Qubing went to Liuhu Prefecture to fight, and Amir Jiang also came with fifty personal guards to help, one wanted to earn more credit and spoils, and the other wanted to follow Xiao Quai's illness to learn more kung fu.

Amirjiang smiled: "King Jianning, how can there be so many why? I don't think they are innocent at all, Datang gave them the best pasture, and the Hequ horses here are better than the horses in the Tianshan Mountains.

This group of Liuzhou Hu can earn a lot of money every year just by selling horses, but they don't have a little gratitude to Datang, shouldn't they be killed? ”

Xiao Quzhi smiled and said, "That's right, where are there so many why?" This is the case with many things in this world, when the productive forces are underdeveloped and there are only so many resources, and there is no need to bear the risk of the same fate.

Every group, what they have to do is to eliminate the threats around them as much as possible and occupy as many resources as possible, otherwise they are irresponsible for their own group!

It's like having more than a dozen countries on a piece of land, all of which are about the same in strength. At this time, two neighboring countries, A and B, suddenly suffered a disaster in that year, followed by a civil war, and the national strength was greatly damaged.

Do you think that at this time, country A should take advantage of the fire to rob, or directly send troops, or find other ways to manipulate, take the opportunity to annex country B, and increase its own strength?

So that you can have the upper hand in the competition with other countries? ”

Li Qi thought about it, although he didn't understand it too well in the front, but he understood the latter example.

"Naturally, it should be like this, if country A encounters such a thing, country B will not let go of such a good opportunity." He nodded, and then said: "But these Liuzhou Hu and we are not related to country A and country B, they are also the people of the Tang Dynasty." ”

Xiao Quzhi said calmly: "In Master's opinion, anyone who is not a member of the Tang Dynasty, who does not practice Tang Yin, who does not obey the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and whose customs and habits do not want to get closer to the mainstream culture of the Tang Dynasty, is not a Tang people, but a potential threat." ”

Seeing that Li Qi didn't speak, Xiao Quzhi continued: "Do you remember what I said when I went to pick up the thief that day? It's not the blood that matters, it's the culture and the sense of belonging.

is like that thief, every time he sees His Majesty, the left minister is a Hu person, and the right one is according to the customs of our Hu people, he never thinks he is a Tang Dynasty man in his heart.

The same is true of these Liuzhou Hu, who is attached to the Tang Dynasty, and never regards himself as a Tang person, and the Tang Dynasty is just a temporary refuge for them and a place to get benefits.

Thirty years ago, wasn't Datang good enough for these Liuzhou Hu? The best pasture was given to them, and they didn't have to pay a tax from Kaiyuan Tongbao, and troops were sent to protect their safety.

But how did they repay Datang? They fled to the Tang Dynasty to take refuge in the Turkic turmoil, and after the Turks stabilized, the Viga Khan only used one summon to make them betray the Tang Dynasty and their benefactor without hesitation.

The most hateful thing is that after they plundered the border, they became addicted to killing, slaughtering cities everywhere and abusing the Han people who had supported them before.

Now thirty years have passed, and they are still like this, thinking of themselves as a Tang Dynasty in their hearts. Datang is now temporarily powerful, and there is no external enemy to summon for the time being.

But once the Tang Dynasty is weakened, just like when Gaozong lost two defeats in the conquest of Tibet, wouldn't the Turks rebel? Or if there is a foreign enemy summoning, you know, the thief will definitely rebel.

The thief was originally from Liuzhou Hu, and now there is a snake tooth base in Liuhu Prefecture. When the thieves rebel, they will definitely be summoned to join in.

At that time, all the Liuzhou Hu in the entire Liuhu Prefecture will rebel without the slightest hesitation as they have done for thirty years.

It would be very disappointing for me if you were such a pedantic person who had to wait until they rebelled, like they did thirty years ago, after slaughtering the Han people in several counties. ”

Li Qi's face was a little relaxed, but there were still some things that couldn't turn around: "Master, I know what you said is right, but haven't they rebelled yet, why don't we trap them." ”

"Xiao Qi, you must always remember this in the future, tolerance for the enemy is cruelty to yourself." Xiao Quzhi smiled faintly: "Do you know how troublesome it is to do this? We are a surprise attack of 800 miles, deep into the enemy's territory, with enemies on all sides.

How much time and effort does it take for us to keep them in captivity and tie them together with ropes like we would treat women and children, and we must have to send guards to them, right?

We're going to have a war tomorrow. But you want to use your strength for the good of the enemy? And most importantly, if someone escapes in the middle of the night, it is irresponsible to more than 2,000 of us and cruelty to ourselves.

You say, why do we take such a big risk and spend so much effort to do things that are not good for ourselves, but good for the enemy? ”

In fact, Xiao Qubing also thought that An Lushan might have sent someone to inform him, but whether the other party knows it or not, there must be certain guidelines for doing things.

Li Qi thought for a while and didn't speak again, although he still had some resistance to killing people who had already knelt down and begged in his heart, thinking that it was not glorious enough. But at least I had almost figured it out in my heart, and began to eat and drink mutton soup in large gulps.

Well, this mutton is really unpalatable, and the mutton soup is also fat, he thought to himself.

Xiao Quzhi looked at him like this, and couldn't help but think in his heart, he chose this apprentice, is this path right or wrong?

Li Qi is indeed excellent in all aspects, and he is also smart, how to think about problems from such a simple perspective, and he is too kind.

Such a thought flashed for a moment, and Xiao Quzhi threw it out thousands of miles away, and said earnestly to Li Qi: "Xiao Qi, do you know that you have made me a little disappointed and a little relieved today.

In addition to starting to prepare for future rebellions, we have to do more in the future. There's something I want you to remember.

In all things, there is not only right and wrong, good and evil, but also interests and positions. In many things, we should not be too entangled in right and wrong, good and evil, but should consider his pros and cons more from the standpoint of Datang and our group.

This is the idea and thinking angle that those who do great things, and those who are responsible for Datang and our group, should have.

In addition to the two points of position and stakes, there is a higher level, which is the trend. Master is not a murderous person, and Master actually wants them all to live.

But for the sake of this current I am talking about, they must die! Master just wants to make a change and tell everyone in the world that the tide has changed, and the Datang who used to be able to betray at will and not have to worry about the consequences is gone, and from now on, Datang will never tolerate betrayal and rebellion.

Master just wants to show them, so that the rest of the attached tribes like Hu Xinxin in Liuzhou will know the fate of the rebellion! ”

…… At the same time, when Xiao Qu's illness was tempting Li Qi, under the same moonlight, the scout captain named Zhang Xiaogou took three elite scouts, riding four and then leading four white horses, dressed in white robes, with a human rank and a horse wrapped in hooves, and was quietly approaching the direction of Yan'en County.

ps: I'm in a depressed mood, more than 600,000 words, I haven't been notified to put it on the shelves, and I won't recommend it this week. I feel like I can't hold on anymore.

His book is also 600,000 words, which is better than many books, and it is also not on the shelves yet. In short, it's a good book, if you don't believe it, go read it!
