Chapter 148: Don't use the suspicious, the people repent!

Yue Fei's breakthrough was very smooth, and after stabilizing the realm, he immediately found Bai Qi, Qin Qiong, and Hua Mulan to hand over the important task of arming defense.

After discussion, it was determined that many troops were mobilized, the Changshan Army, the Killing God Army, and the Qin Qiong Army began to retreat, and the general flag of the Yuejia Army was also replaced on the city wall, floating in the sky.

Two days later, Yue Fei took Meng Heng and walked slowly on the city wall, with soldiers standing guard on both sides, interspersed with patrols, forming an impermeable defensive network.

"General, are you sure you want to report to the king about what was discussed yesterday?

What worries him so much?

This has to start from yesterday, in addition to the handover and deployment, the two of them flipped through the map, looked at the territory of thousands of miles, deployed 100,000 troops, and finally determined that the main force should be deployed to defend the Annan Pass.

This means that in front of the Annam Pass, the land of more than 80 miles, including the four county seats, will have no troops to defend and will become the enemy's bowl of meat, which can be eaten at any time.

will not defend the land, but give up the land, which makes Meng Heng worried, instead of reporting now, it is better to wait for the holy car to return to Beijing and make a report.

After all, there will be no exemption from the foreign monarch's order!

Yue Fei didn't understand Meng Hui's thoughts, and said with righteous words:

"As a general, as a minister, I have words in my heart, when I vomit quickly, how can I hide it from the king, besides, now the king is a saint, and he must understand our good intentions. ”

After speaking, Yue Fei walked down the city wall, rode to the city lord's mansion, and prepared to report, leaving Meng Heng alone and waiting quietly.

Not long after, Yue Fei entered the City Lord's Mansion and told him in detail that his plan was a major social matter, and he also vaguely proposed that he would give up the plan of the four counties.

After speaking, he looked at Li Tang tightly, expecting his reply.

The words of loyalty, the words of abandoning the city, if it is peacetime, it is a felony to kill the head, but this matter is a wartime state, after Li Tang heard it, he nodded in understanding:

"Those who are good at fighting do not fight for the gains and losses of a city or a place, but fight for the final victory; this matter will be done according to Aiqing's wishes, and secondly, this king has always adhered to the principle of not using suspicious people and employing people, and in the future, the affairs of southern Xinjiang will be handled by Aiqing. ”

Yue Fei was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The last general, thank you for the king's trust!"

Li Tang nodded and continued: "Tell Meng Aiqing this too, this king has infinite tolerance for good officials in the Tang Dynasty, and unlimited killing for evil officials in the Tang Dynasty!"

Yue Fei's face froze, nodded respectfully, and withdrew from the City Lord's Mansion, making up his mind in his heart to advise Meng Heng well.

Watching Yue Fei leave, Li Tang muttered to himself:

"In the previous life, you were brave and good at fighting, but you were suspicious, so you didn't dare to be honest with the king;

He could see Meng Hui's hidden thoughts, but he didn't blame him, he only hoped that time in the future would change his heart.

On the city wall, Yue Fei told Meng Heng what he said, which made his face stagnant, a divine light rose in his eyes, and he bowed respectfully in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

He seems to understand the meaning of the Son of Heaven!

Listen to the wind blowing the flag, sizzling, look at the seasonal changes, the falling leaves are silent, understand the vicissitudes of heaven and earth, never settled, you can know, the wind blows the flag and the heart has been quiet, the time changes the leaves have no regrets, and the vicissitudes of life will change the mind!

A few days later, Qi Tianhou Guo's compensation materials arrived, which can be described as a thousand horses stepping on Feiyan, and the grains of rice are piled up like a mountain, and I vaguely remember that when receiving the materials, Qi Tianhou Guobei Yan County guarded the county, and he was reluctant to feel distressed.

With the arrival of compensation resources, the matter of returning to the dynasty has been put on the agenda, after all, Li Tang has been at the border for a long time, and he must go back and develop the Tang Kingdom rapidly.

With the order of the class division to return to the court, the army began to pack up, and in the south of the city, a group of ordinary people were gathering to discuss.

That's right, it was a group of people, about 2,000 people, they were the ones who disobeyed the orders of the imperial court and were unwilling to move north, which naturally did not end well, and they were arrested after Qi Tianhou broke the city.

There is no preferential treatment of captives in this world, and after being caught, women become military prostitutes, and men become military slaves, humiliated, and if they are not careful, they die by the knife and their heads are separated.

They were relatively lucky, after the defeat of Qi Tianhouguo, they were lucky to survive, and returned to Yanhui City and gathered in Nancheng.

Today, when the army returned to the court, they were ready to take the blame, and one of the middle-aged men said:

"Everyone, some time ago, the king ordered that those who disobey the orders of the imperial court will be deemed to have automatically given up their identity as the people of the Tang Dynasty; now, after the war, we all understand that we can't leave the Tang Kingdom; now, we still have a chance, that is, the people will ask for guilt, are you willing to go?"

"Go, of course, I just hope that the king will forgive us. ”

"Yes, it's all because I was cautious at the beginning, for the sake of some interests, I ruined my family and became slaves, and my wife and daughter were humiliated, I'm really ashamed!"

"The king is a benevolent king, and if he moves the people inward and defeats a strong enemy, he will definitely forgive us. ”

"Let's hurry up, lest the king be gone!" said one of the women, her face haggard.

As soon as these words came out, people panicked, and immediately resonated, and said in the direction of the city gate:

"yes, we're going to hurry up!"

At this time, the city gate has been under martial law, thousands of flags are moving, the Tang flag is in the sky, tens of thousands of Tang soldiers, wearing armor, holding sharp soldiers, carrying wounded soldiers, set off from the north gate, to Annan Pass.

On the side of the city wall, two teams of blood-clothed guards, leading war horses, looked respectfully not far away, where Li Tang led Bai Qi and them, and was saying goodbye to Yue Fei.

"Leaving today, I want to say goodbye for a long time, I hope that Yue Aiqing, shouldering the heavy responsibility of the country, when the southern Xinjiang is pacified, when he returns to Chang'an, the king will personally set up a banquet to entertain you. ”

Li Tang said calmly, but in the depths of his eyes, there was a trace of parting sadness.

"Please rest assured, wait for the end to return to Chang'an and drink to your heart's content!" Yue Fei said heroically, smiling all over his face.

"Okay, add more ......"

Li Tang was about to say goodbye when he heard the horse's hooves stomping on the ground, and a scout ran over and said:

"Report, a large crowd of people came out of the south of the city, and they want to meet the king!"

The words stopped, Li Tang's face changed, and finally returned to calm and said:

"Oh! I thought they weren't coming! ”

"No!"

Passing through the army, under the leadership of the scouts, to the south of the city, you can see dense people, wearing tattered clothes, kneeling on the ground, after seeing Li Tang, said loudly:

"The sinners see the king, ashamed of the Tang Dynasty!"

After the words were spoken, his forehead slammed heavily on the ground, oozing blood, and Li Tang's heart was complicated.

According to the royal decree issued earlier, these people are no longer the common people of the Tang Dynasty, should they be forgiven, deported, or ignored?
