Chapter 508: Beheading for public display
The two people next to him gave Li Xiang a look, what the three of us said just now is hot, why don't you want to do it now? King Wu followed these people back to the capital, this is the best solution, even if Li Shimin wants to deprive them of their credit, there is no way back.
Li Shimin wanted to put these credits on King Wu, but now that King Wu has returned to the capital with these people, the war on the front line has not stopped, is it a ghost fighting? The people of Chang'an City are not stupid, and they will know after a little guess that this battle should be commanded by Li Xiang, so these people who follow Li Xiang will have both face and lining.
"I'm like this now, what can I do if I disobey the holy will? Even if I disobey the holy decree, do you think your imperial grandfather will be able to cut me? ”
Wu King Li Ke smiled, but what he said is also very reasonable, this era pays attention to tiger poison and does not eat children, Li Chengqian made such an excessive thing in history, Li Shimin just exiled it, it is absolutely impossible to kill his own son, this is his own descendant after all, Wu King Li Ke is far less serious here, it is just a plan of Li Shimin to fail, if he kills his son to vent his anger in this way, then it is estimated that Li Shimin's sons are not enough to kill.
"Then I will take all the credit for this battle, these people under you have also lost their lives, we can't let them have nothing, their families are also heroes, and they will be used in the future."
Although Li Xiang didn't meet this third uncle much, he also knew that this third uncle was a person with character, and since he said this, he would definitely do so.
For Li Xiang's statement, King Wu did not refuse, Li Xiang felt sorry for his soldiers, Li Ke also felt sorry for his soldiers, these people all tied their heads to the waistband of their trousers, and followed their boss to lose their lives on the battlefield, if they couldn't let their families get some benefits, then this life was really lost.
Niu Jinda and Su Dingfang glanced at each other, and the two of them were relieved, and if this matter was not resolved well, even if they captured Xue Yantuo Khan, the soldiers under their command might not understand this matter, and no one was willing to do some useless work, even if it was an elite army.
"Then I'll let the rest of the people start preparing, but the third uncle should write a letter to grandfather, if you suddenly appear in the capital, it may still be ...... grandfather."
Li Xiang is familiar with Li Shimin's temperament, if he takes a preventive shot, maybe this matter will not have much repercussions, but if King Wu suddenly appears in the capital, Li Shimin may feel that this matter is uncontrollable, and then King Wu's punishment may be greater, and the uncle and nephew can be said to be mutually fulfilling in this matter, so Li Shimin does not want King Wu to suffer too much.
"You all go down, you don't have to guard here, take better care of my wounded soldiers, I should also take them back to Chang'an, if it weren't for my mistake, maybe they are still riding on war horses at the moment, and they don't need to lie here like me."
When King Wu said this, the whole person was a little depressed, Li Xiang knew that King Wu Li Ke was a good general in battle, but this time he was blinded by victory, and he wanted to surpass Li Xiang too much, so there was a deviation.
If you don't have such an eager heart, then it is very easy to achieve a victory, for example, when they first entered the grassland, Xue Yantuo's army was not their opponent at all, and it was also well commanded at that time, but unfortunately this heart was not continued, and in the final analysis, the ability to deal with things was a little weak.
When they got out of the tent, Su Dingfang and Niu Jinda felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts, originally they were afraid that His Royal Highness King Wu would attack, who knew that His Royal Highness King Wu would do things so brightly, but it was our people who spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and the two of them didn't say a word just now, and they really didn't have the face to say it in front of others.
"Your Highness, these brothers are also our brothers of the Tang Dynasty, and they are also fighting for the country on the battlefield, and the imperial court does not give them much pension, otherwise they will ...... from our small treasury"
The two of them found a place where no one was, hoping that Li Xiang could make some blood, others didn't know how much money was in the small treasury, but the two of them knew very well that Li Xiang had always divided the money into two parts when he was fighting.
One is handed over to the imperial court, and the other is kept in his own hands, which is also convenient when using money, of course, this thing must be done secretly, except for the system soldiers, no one else can participate, so as to ensure that it is not leaked.
"You two are generous at this time, just now you were still full of affection, afraid that people will rob you of your credit, just put your heart in your stomach, now we are not suitable to take out this money, if we take it out, it should be suspected, write down the identities and names of these people, I will instruct the person who holds the treasure to send the money to the door, when the time comes, they will not show the mountains and water, they are also good."
Looking at the two living treasures under his hands, Li Xiang didn't know what to say, these two people were not bad-hearted, but the city government was a little shallower, and the battlefield was majestic, but if they played these tricks, it was estimated that they would be played to death by others.
The two smiled a little embarrassedly, and then hurried down to do something, this time there are a lot of people who go back to Chang'an, just some Turkic prisoners of war have to exceed 8,000 people, there is no use if there are fewer people, after these people are pulled back, it is estimated that they must have been cut down by Li Shimin, Li Shimin's holy decree is very clear, don't pull the old, weak, sick and disabled back to make up the number, it must be a prisoner of war, others think that the people of Chang'an City have not seen the world.
This kind of thing has happened before, many people treat civilians as soldiers, and they directly pull them back to receive merit, not only in the Tang Dynasty, but also in the previous dynasties, so Li Shimin emphasized a stroke in the holy decree, of course, he was not afraid that Li Xiang would pull the civilians back.
Mainly because Li Xiang is too good at using captives, he always feels that every captive is labor, so he must not be cut like this, and the last bit of value on them should be blown up, but beheading the captives in front of the people is also a way to motivate the people, although it is a little behind, but the cohesion received is incomparable to other ways.
