Chapter 393: Flickering
The army's morale was already in turmoil, and camping in the wild would only make them even more panicked, so they had to go to the nearby city to rest first, and then talk about it tomorrow depending on the situation.
Turpanza camp.
All the camps had been surrounded, and about 40,000 Turpan troops were captured, of whom nearly 10,000 died.
"Your Majesty, it's very troublesome for the captives to eat, drink, and Lazar, so it's better to dig a pit and bury them." The first general whispered in Li Xingchen's ear.
The total number of captives alone is more than 50,000, and it is not easy to discipline them to catch up with their own soldiers, and in case of restlessness, it will be a devastating disaster for the Wei army.
Li Xingchen smiled.
Homicide? No! The heads are all money, and they will be exchanged for money at that time. How could it be killed.
Immediately, he ordered to take people back to Tianfan City.
In Tianfan City, there was not a single soldier guarding it, and the people were still guarding themselves.
You must know that they are powerless, and no one dares to mess around.
Back at the City Lord's Mansion, Li Xingchen asked the old Taoist priest about the situation.
The old Taoist priest is fine, but nearly a thousand little Taoist priests died, Li Xingchen sighed, no matter what form of war, bloodshed is inevitable.
After thinking about it, he asked people to bring condolences and condolences to the Taoist priests.
The next day.
All the merchants in the city opened their shops as instructed, but the shopkeepers hid under the tables and did not dare to come out, and the other people did not dare to leave their homes to buy things.
In this regard, Li Xingchen didn't care, and let the soldiers spread the news of the victory of the guards last night, the defeat of the king of Turpan, and the capture of tens of thousands of prisoners.
And also said that the captive is also fate, His Majesty of the Great Wei has the virtue of a good life, and he can't bear to kill the captives, but he can't let the Great Wei soldiers be bullied, so he chose a compromise method and asked the Turpan court to buy the captives back, twenty taels of silver each, for ten days.
At that time, no one will buy it, and it will be killed uniformly.
This news caused a national sensation.
Those families who have decided to move their clans to the Great Wei have launched all kinds of propaganda like crazy.
They already thought that they were from the Great Wei Dynasty at this moment, so the matter of Li Xingchen's aristocratic immigration was brought up again, and the originally hesitant families were completely determined to emigrate.
Again, there are still quite a few waiting and seeing.
When the king of Turpan learned the news, he immediately turned the desk over. @η²Ύε\/Shuge Error-free Debut~~
"Bastard, let this king pay for the soldiers of his own country? Still public? It's to press your face to the ground and rub it desperately! β
The most excessive thing is that the news can spread all over the country so quickly, and it is the family who is helping.
If he didn't spend money to buy it, not only the prisoners, but also the rest of the soldiers in the city would be chilled.
But if you spend money to buy it, you want a lot of money, not to mention, and you lose face.
"Your Majesty, I heard that more and more families are going to relocate." The prime minister said in a deep voice.
The current situation is extremely unfavorable to Turpan.
After the news of Li Xingchen's victory again spread, the strong strength of Dawei convinced more people, and they all wanted to develop in Dawei.
The king of Turpan was furious, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent.
The actions of the family are no less than treason, and everyone will be punished for treason.
"Morale is getting lower and lower, and we are still living in fear, what should we do?" The Prime Minister sighed.
The nobles are damned, but the priority is to solve the dilemma, and the captured prisoners will not spend money to buy them back, and the king of Turpan will fall into accusations.
So the soldier is naturally going to buy it.
"Prime Minister, you go in person to discuss this matter, the price of twenty taels is too expensive, try to press it down. In these few days, this king will find a way to solve the dilemma. "The king of Turpan ordered.
I have to admit that Li Xingchen is really terrifying.
Not to mention being brave and good at fighting, there are still a lot of crooked brains, and terrible ideas are endless.
Use your own money to buy your own soldiers, and make a big joke in the world.
Let him admit defeat just like that, it's unrealistic.
This is Turpan, his territory. If you lose, there will be no majesty at all.
Originally, he wanted to use Da Wei to destroy this group of bald donkeys, but he was unwilling to make it like this.
"I'll go now." The prime minister said in a deep voice.
Of course, he is not reconciled, but the situation is complicated, and everyone knows about it, if he doesn't go to discuss the purchase of soldiers, he will meet people. (This chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 393: Flickering
The heart is lost.
After the prime minister left, the king of Turpan sent someone to send the news back to the main city as soon as possible, and the main city will order it to spread to other cities, so that all the soldiers in the city will be sneaky and not discovered by the Wei army.
Tianfan City.
Li Xingchen and others were holding a celebration banquet, and a soldier hurriedly came to report that the prime minister was coming.
Li Xingchen smiled, "Let him wait in the hall, and I'll go in a while." β
He didn't plan to go over immediately, the meal had just been eaten, what kind of thing was the Prime Minister of Turpan, it was worth him to put down his chopsticks and go to meet him first?
You must know that it is he who wins, not Turpan.
After the meal, Li Xingchen thought that it was almost time to return to China.
This expedition was just a warning to Turpan, not really what to do with them, after all, there were few soldiers brought, and it was difficult to hurt Turpan.
Especially since this is still in Turpan, extorting some money is over.
Prime Minister Turpan waited for a whole hour before Li Xingchen came out slowly, his face was green with anger, and he didn't dare to show it.
"I've seen His Majesty Great Wei."
As a defeated country, Wei is far ahead of Turpan if it increases its national strength, so the prime minister is very respectful and his political wisdom is in place.
Li Xingchen smiled, "Have you eaten?" β
"Your Majesty, I came here this time for a captive, twenty taels of silver, too expensive." The prime minister said respectfully, ignoring Li Xingchen's question about whether he had eaten or not.
Twenty taels of silver is equal to twenty jars of copper coins, which is converted into 20,000 copper coins.
An ordinary person may not be able to earn so much money in his lifetime...
Although the soldier's life is slightly more valuable than that of ordinary people, it is far less than twenty taels, which is clearly extortion.
Li Xingchen pretended to be surprised, "It turns out that in your eyes, the lives of your soldiers are not worth twenty taels of silver, so how much do you say their lives are worth?" β
The prime minister's face darkened, and he lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, there are only two of us here, and we don't say anything about it, what do you think is the lowest?" β
Let him ask for a price, it can't be said, no matter how much he wants, the news spreads, and the pot has to be carried by the Turpan court.
Li Xingchen thought for a while, "Reduce the price by half, ten taels, and it can't be less." β
Twenty taels is false, the routine price, the prime minister of a country came in person, and he didn't bother to rub his tongue with the other party, so he simply came to a reserve price, so as to solve the matter as soon as possible and return home.
"It's... It's still too high. The prime minister wrinkled his eyebrows.
In fact, even if Li Xingchen reported one or two, he felt that it was expensive.
The money was taken out for nothing. _o_m
However, there was no way, Li Xingchen put forward the conditions, and it depended on the preparation of the king of Turpan.
If the next war can be won, the money will not have to be given, otherwise, I am afraid it will be more than just this money.
"It's too expensive!" Li Xingchen immediately made a cold face, "The reserve price is ten taels, do you want love." βγ
