Chapter 34. vent
Li Er, who was devastated all the way, was refreshed, and stretched out his hand to signal the vendor, "Bring me a cigar to suppress the blood," and the vendor wasted a box of cigars and distributed it to Li Er and the other ministers around him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
A group of people with cigars in their mouths and the appearance of an occupying army rampant in Liaocheng, and along the main road, everyone came to a place that was probably the governor's mansion of Liaocheng before, and everyone stopped.
Li Er looked at his subordinates with a depressed face, and asked the soldiers who were cleaning up the mess here, "Are you sure that the leader of Liaocheng is here to command the battle?" ”
The soldier's answer was ambiguous: "I heard what the captives said yes, and I don't know if it's true or not"
Li Er took out the cigar and said, "Which captive said it, bring it over"
"Your Majesty, wait a minute," and the soldier carried a prisoner with an arm around his neck, "that's what he said"
Li Er looked at the prisoner condescendingly, trembling, "That's what you said, your general organized the battle in this place?" ”
The captive knelt on the ground with a puff, Smecta with a mouthful, and the sergeant next to him hurriedly translated "He said yes"
Li Er glanced at the soldier, "You ask him, do you know where their general is now?" “
The soldier translated Li Er's words to the prisoner, and the prisoner looked frightened after hearing this, and looked left and right at the dilapidated courtyard in front of him, there were ruins and broken walls everywhere, and objects that had been shattered by bombs were everywhere, and the prisoner stretched out his hand to pull towards the courtyard, and he didn't know what to say.
Li Er looked at the soldier, and the soldier swallowed his saliva, "He said, it's everywhere, it's all blown up"
Hey, the peddler covered his nose and took a step back, Li Er also gently raised his foot, the sole of his shoe was stained with a piece of blood, and rubbed his foot on the prisoner, ordering someone to take him down.
Maybe the smell of gunpowder in the city is not to Li Er's taste, after walking around, Li Er took a few people out of the city who didn't have to work, and told Li Ji to count the results of the battle and report it in the evening!
In the evening, Li Ji counted the approximate results of the battle and handed it to Li Er, "Your Majesty, more than 10,000 enemies were killed in this battle, more than 20,000 were captured, and there was no food, grass and horses."
Li Er looked at the battle report and smiled very happily, "Okay, I ordered to go down, leave one or two thousand prisoners of war to help bury the dead bodies, and send the rest to Fanyang, I am going to build a railway from Luoyang to Fanyang, there is a shortage of people."
Li Ji sighed, "Then what if these people are disobedient on the road?" ”
Li Er glanced at Li Ji, "Ask me about this too?" “
Li Jiyi hugged his fists and "the minister was rude"
Li Er waved his hand, "Forget it, it's not early, let people prepare some wine and food, order to go down, add some food to the soldiers in the evening, and take care of the prisoners, if there is any change, there will be no mercy"
"Yes" is the late Tang Army camp thunderous with joy, the morale of the Tang Dynasty generals who have achieved complete success in the first battle is unprecedentedly high, everyone is enthusiastically discussing the future battle, and no one is worried that the Tang Dynasty will repeat the mistakes of the previous dynasty.
Because it was in the army, everyone drank a little wine casually, and the generals were preparing for the next battle, and the civilian officials began to scratch their ears and cheeks to write war reports.
Li Er took the hawker to take a walk outside the big tent with a slightly drunk expression, looking at the particularly deserted moonlight in a foreign land, Li Er wrapped the cloak on his body vigorously, looked up at the sky, Li Er asked the hawker thoughtfully, "Dabao, do you think we can fight this time?" ”
The peddler listened to the laughter and laughter coming from the camp, took out two bottles of beer and gave Li Er a bottle, "Your Majesty is worried, after this battle, no one in the world dares to speak ill of you."
Li Er took a bite of the beer bottle cap, poured a mouthful of "cool" and then howled at the moon, after howling, Li Er looked at the vendor embarrassedly, "Sorry, gaffe"
The peddler waved his hand, he knew that Li Er had been suppressed for too long, from the day of his Xuanwumen blood change, the people had complained about this ambitious emperor, Li Er had obeyed the hawker over the years, a large part of the reason was because he knew that only by listening to the hawker could he transform a new Tang Dynasty from the root, so that the world could prove that he Li Shimin was stronger than his eldest brother.
Today, I heard the hawker say that after this battle, there are no complaints in the world, Li Er can finally vent the depression in his chest, and the hawker throws a cigarette to Li Er, "In fact, as long as you are a good person, why care about other people's opinions?" ”
Li Er lit the cigarette with the wind on his back, "If it were an ordinary person, there was nothing wrong with what you said, but I am the king of a country, and what I do not only has to be felt by people, but also by people to see, so I really envy you when I have time, sleep until I wake up naturally, count the money until my hands cramp, or the world will be calm, you will be the emperor for me for a few days."
The peddler grinned, "You tease me again"
Li Er squatted on the ground and spat out his cigarette vigorously, "I really didn't tease you, Quan Datang wants to say who I am most at ease with, except for you Niu Dabao, there is no one else, even my sons"
The peddler spat to the side, "Do you mean I'm more of a son than your son?" ”
Li Erle said, "You can have this understanding"
"Get out, I see you're holding back, you wait, I'll go to the prisoner of war camp to catch a few beautiful girls for you" The hawker was about to leave, but Li Er didn't stop him, and the hawker smiled, and he really held back.
Following the guidance of the soldiers, the hawkers came to the prisoner of war camp, and when they arrived here, the hawkers felt a different kind of enthusiasm, different from the thunderous cheers of the former camp, where they were all crying fathers and mothers.
A fat man who looked like a quartermaster rested his feet comfortably on the small low table in front of him, and a circle of soldiers around him reported on the situation of the prisoners from time to time.
The fat man's eyes that seemed to be asleep shot out from time to time, which was the reaction to hearing that there was a big fish in the prisoners of war, and suddenly the fat man's eyes shot a more violent light, and he turned over and quickly stood up, "National teacher, you are here, sit"
The vendor waved his hand at the group of people, "It's hard work, you're welcome, get busy"
The fat man knew that the hawker must not have run here on a whim, so he waved his hand and retreated from the idle people around him, etc., and the fat man politely picked up the teapot on the table and poured a bowl of tea for the hawker, "National teacher, please use tea"
The peddler took a sip of the teacup, and casually flipped through a booklet on the table, on which were a slippery number, some of which were ticked behind, and flipped through it several times, but the peddler did not understand what it meant.
Grab a bag of cigarettes and give it to the fat man, "Go, help me find a few beautiful female prisoners, young ones, you know"
The fat man took the cigarette into his arms, his eyes narrowed even smaller, and the fat on his face shook vigorously, "Wait a minute, the national teacher, I'll go pick someone for you"
The peddler waved his hand casually, and the fat man went down to pick people, and after a while the soldier pushed and shoved ten poor girls to the peddler, and the girls saw that there was no upright peddler sitting on the chair, and they were nervous to squeeze each other, and the hawker stood up and walked to the girls, pinched their chins one by one, and looked at them as if they were picking animals, and they were very rogue and hooked their fingers in people's mouths, feeling the warmth of their tongues, in case someone put a blade in their mouths.
Then he vigorously pulled his shoulders and turned the girls around, and found that each girl had a slave brand on their backs.
The ten girls looked good, the hawker waved his hand, the soldier took a black cloth and covered his head, escorted the girl to Li Er's imperial tent, and the hawker waved his hand to let the soldier go down and get busy.
Li Er had already returned to the tent when the vendor was looking for the female prisoner, and now it had been washed and waiting for the vendor to serve food.
When the hawker brought in the ten female prisoners, Li Er's eyes lit up, and the hawker asked, "Which one do you like?" ”
Li Er: "Except for you, everyone else stays"
The peddler "Do you want me to stay or not, I'll go back to Chang'an, tell my sister-in-law to go"
Li Er nodded, "Well, don't forget to bring the battle report back and broadcast it tomorrow" (to be continued.) )
