Chapter 505: A Family

Wu Wang Li Ke woke up at night, when Wu Wang Li Ke woke up, he was already lying on the warm blanket, this is the marching blanket of Li Xiang's troops, although it can't be compared with pure wool, but in such an environment, it is already quite good.

When Xue Yantuo's army retreated, they left a lot of things in the barracks, Li Xiang ordered to cut down all the wood they left, and then lit a bonfire at night, so that our soldiers could roast the fire to keep warm, a rain came down, the temperature has reached below zero, if there is no fire, it is estimated that most of the soldiers will catch a cold at night.

"Your Highness, we have captured a total of 10,700 of them, killed 6,500 of them, and the rest have retreated to the northwest, and are now fifty miles away."

Wu King Li Ke heard Su Dingfang's voice in a daze, but he didn't expect that in just one day's work, Li Xiang's army had already achieved such a result, they had already used their strength here, and there was no way to repel Xue Yantuo's army.

"Just let them run, if we pursue now, we are reluctant to divide our troops into several places, when they retreat along the way, they will definitely take everything they can take away, and when the time comes, as long as we find Xue Yantuo Khan, then we will take away the wealth of the entire grassland."

Li Xiang doesn't like to divide his troops to pursue, firstly, our people are not safe enough after separation, and secondly, we don't bother to do such low-level things as robbery, let Xue Yantuo Khan help us do it, and in the end we only need to rob him, which not only saves time and effort, but also preserves our reputation.

"Your Highness, you're awake."

A little eunuch said happily, this person is the eunuch who served by King Wu's side, and the prince also took the eunuch with him when he went out, but Li Xiang didn't have that idea, so Li Xiang never brought it.

"Third uncle, are you awake?"

Hearing Li Xiang's title, Wu King Li Ke's heart was full of mixed feelings, he had already regarded Li Xiang as his enemy, and he was dazed for a period of time, thinking that he could also make contributions, and did not care about the life and death of those people outside.

If Li Xiang came over and sneered, Wu Wang Li Ge's heart was still relatively comfortable, but at this moment, hearing Li Xiang's third uncle, the corners of Wu Wang Li Ke's eyes moistened, he was also an iron-clad man, and he insisted here with people for several days, without shedding a single tear, but when he heard these two words at this moment, he had a feeling of wanting to cry.

"Don't move, don't move, don't move, you have a lot of wounds on your body, when I bandaged you, I used it for almost an hour, and in the next time, you'd better lie down honestly and get some meat porridge."

Li Xiang saw that Li Ge was about to get up, so he hurriedly let him lie down.

Now is the time for the wound to recover, King Wu has been lying down all day, if he gets up now, the place where the scar just formed is useless.

"Those people ......"

"Don't worry about those people, they have all been properly settled, and my men have bandaged their wounds, but there are more than a thousand people who can't be saved, and the wounds on their bodies are too deep ......"

When this topic was mentioned, the atmosphere in the tent was a little sad, the seriously wounded were very difficult in any era, even if Li Xiang's soldiers had medical kits, they could not save these seriously wounded.

"Don't worry, third uncle, you take good care of your body, you fought a tough battle here, we have seen the traces of the battle around us, and we also know from the mouths of the captives that you and these people under your command fought very hard, you didn't embarrass our Datang, and the rest will be left to us."

The purpose of Li Xiang's words is to recognize the merits of Wu Wang Li Ge and let the opponent admit his own merits, which is an extremely satisfying thing for anyone, Li Xiang has studied human nature, and what he wants to hear most at this moment is to make him happy, and the wounds on his body can recover better, why not, not to mention that what we are saying is also the truth, people really did not embarrass the Tang Dynasty, and they did not surrender under the battle to the death, there are not many such people.

Wu Wang Li Ke wanted to say a few words, but this body was too weak, so he nodded, and waited until the little eunuch fed a few mouthfuls, and the whole person fell asleep again, but now he slept very peacefully, he knew that Li Xiang was next to him, no matter how powerful Xue Yantuo's army was, it was impossible to bring them harm.

After watching King Wu fall asleep, Li Xiang faced the loss in front of him, and there was also an evil fire in his heart, on the one hand, King Wu was greedy for merit, and on the other hand, it was also because Li Shimin hesitated, otherwise, how could he lose 20,000 soldiers?

You must know that Li Xiang led his troops to destroy the entire Goguryeo, and only lost more than 10,000 people, how long have you been here now? 20,000 people are lost like this, how many people do you have in our Datang?

"We must count these fallen soldiers, and give them a good pension after they go back, and those who can still fight, all of them will be incorporated into my army, and if anyone in the court dares to speak, I will personally explain to him."

Li Xiang has overstepped his authority by doing such a thing, but at this moment Li Xiang is a little angry, Niu Jinda and Su Dingfang are also very angry, this is all caused by the imperial court, but as long as you can let us leave five days earlier, this thing will not happen.

"Your Highness, you have captured more than a dozen Turkic nobles."

The voice of the report from outside came in again.

"Since you have surrendered, and you don't want to help me Datang defend the frontier, what's the use of asking you people? Take them to the nearby tribes, and kill them on the spot, and gather me all the young men of the tribes, and if they do not fight on the battlefield, I will kill their whole families at once. ”

Li Xiang issued several orders in a row, Li Xiang was also extremely angry about the Turks' turn of face and denial of people, in the future, there will be more and more vassal congresses in the Tang Dynasty, and if such a thing happens, you will kill one by one, until you are afraid, otherwise those vassal states will be in chaos in the future.

"The last general obeys!"

As soon as Li Xiang gave the order, dozens of cavalry teams left the camp, their purpose was to bring these Turkic nobles over to the dozens of Turkic tribes nearby, just to let them see the determination of the Tang Dynasty, your king ran away, but there are still young and strong men in your tribe, and they must go out with the army......
