"General~~ We can escort the general and rush out." When the lieutenant general heard Kim's words, he said anxiously.

Captives were equated with slaves in this era, and nothing came of any good, especially in times of war, where they were often used as death squads and cannon fodder.

"Alas, we can't rush out, if you look around, there are at least seventy or eighty thousand cavalry, why let our soldiers die in vain.

We have done our best for the Treasure King, let the soldiers have a full meal, even if they die later, they will be full of death. ”

Kim Eun is loyal to the Gao family, but he is not foolish, and now he knows better than anyone what is going on in Goguryeo.

The country is divided, wars are raging, and the people are struggling to make a living, and they have regressed to the Warring States period. The people lost their support for the court,

They are warriors who guard the country, not the Treasure King.

He thought that after the independence of the Treasure King, the people would live a little better, but who knew that it would be such a scene, and the soldiers had no one to protect them.

It's not like the Tang army has a goal in mind, so they become more and more brave the more they fight.

After Kim Eun's order was given, the Goguryeo soldiers were also relieved, at least not to die now.

They all put down their weapons and equipment and gathered together obediently, the cavalry was led by Cheng Mingzhen, and ordered them to move slowly towards Dongcheng,

When they are gone, the Minfu will pack up their weapons and equipment.

Everyone was driven to the urn city in Dongcheng, and Li Tao had already sent troops to make arrangements. Kim Eun and other generals were held in solitary confinement,

Without the organization of the generals, the chances of the soldiers resisting are slim.

In this way, a vigorous battle ended successfully.

When Li Chengqian got the news, he shouted happily. The first step in the conquest of Goguryeo was finally completed.

"Generalissimo, let's enter the city again tomorrow, it's getting late today, so as not to cause any accidents." Li Daozong, who was on the side, saw Li Chengqian's excitement, so he reminded.

Li Daozong has no jokes, the young man became a generalissimo for the first time, and he won the first battle, how could he not be excited,

If it were replaced by Li Shen, it is estimated that it would have been difficult at this time.

"Well, what Uncle Huang said is reasonable, then let the various ministries count the results, and then the palace will write a copy and send it back to Chang'an." Li Chengqian is still relatively steady.

"Big brother, the various ministries should occupy the important yamen in the city, as well as the granaries and the like, but this time we are here in the name of the teacher of benevolence and righteousness.

It is better to make a good impression on the people, so the soldiers below must be restrained not to disturb the people and not to plunder. Li Shen next to him interjected,

It's not that Li Shen is a good person, many people will worry a lot about the city after the war in this era, but Li Shen's plan is to subdue Goguryeo.

The territory is easy to fight, but the people's hearts are difficult to collect. His plan was to be based on benevolence and righteousness, so that the people of Goguryeo would approve it.

Li Shen knew the horror of the people's war, and if the Tang army was also killing, burning and looting everywhere, it would be facing millions of people in Goguryeo.

"What do you suggest for the tenth brother?" He had already known about this from Li Shen.

Li Daozong is the deputy marshal this time, in fact, he is helping Li Chengqian correct his mistakes when he is wrong, and he is also an observer. So he didn't speak, but watched the two brothers make a decision.

"Come, big brother, this is the rule I wrote for entering the city. Look. Li Shen brought over a piece of paper, which he wrote in his spare time.

Li Chengqian took it and looked at it carefully, only to see that it was written very concisely:

It is forbidden to oppress the people, to enter people's houses, to plunder their property, to destroy crops, to molest women, or to abuse prisoners.

Li Chengqian looked up at Li Shen after reading it, he felt that it was nothing, as the successor of the emperor, what he told him since he was a child was that he loved the people like a son.

It's just that he also heard from his predecessors that soldiers have some bad traditions after winning battles.

Li Chengqian turned his head to look at Li Daozong, and then asked what he meant.

Li Daozong also frowned a little after reading it, if this is allowed, it will be set as military discipline.

If you violate military discipline, you will be beheaded, but this is actually a trivial matter for his battle-hardened people, and it is important to be able to win the battle.

Seeing the hesitation of the two, Li Shen explained;

"Big brother, Uncle Huang, our Tang Dynasty is not here to plunder, but to conquer them, it is easy to requisition land, but difficult to requisition people.

How can we make them work for us? Goguryeo has millions of people, and if they all think that we are enemies, then we will face millions of enemies, but what if we win them over?

When the time comes, they will help us against the Treasure King and the Yuangai Suwen, which is called the People's War.

Big brother, uncle Huang, the people are very simple, and whoever is good to them will support whomever they want. ”

Li Shen's words made Li Chengqian and Li Daozong fall into deep thought, they had never considered this matter,

Li Chengqian is inexperienced, Li Daozong is because they have beaten down a city over the years, and then handed it over to the later imperial court to manage, and they are only responsible for fighting.

"But what will the soldiers below think?" Li Daozong asked.

"What is this, they are warriors, not bandits, and should have iron discipline. The first rule of military discipline is to obey orders.

If someone commits a crime, then kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey to set an example.

To tell the truth, the Tang Army and the Praetorian Guard are okay. ”

Li Shen said disdainfully, he had seen too much of the iron-like army and the iron-like will.

"Why don't you go and talk to the soldiers again?" Li Chengqian thought of Li Shen's hidden skills,

"I'm not going." Li Shen solved it decisively, it's funny, you are the protagonist, okay, don't let me go for anything.

Seeing Li Shen's attitude, Li Chengqian was helpless, but he still decided to listen to Li Shen's opinion, he felt that what Li Shen said was right,

As a ruler, the most important thing is to have the support of the people, and if the people support you, no one will rebel.

Li Chengqian immediately copied three copies, added the word military order to the end, and then stamped the marshal's seal to summon the herald and sent it to the defending generals in the three directions.

When Li Tao received the order, he also frowned, but it quickly expanded. He is loyal to Li Shimin,

Although it is important to conquer Goryeo this time, it is even more important to brush up on Li Chengqian's prestige.

So Li Tao didn't hesitate at all, and immediately gave the order;

"When you come, you must not oppress the people, enter the houses, plunder the property, destroy the crops, molerate with women, or mistreat the captives.

This is a military order, and those who violate the order will be beheaded. ”

"Yes."

Next, Li Tao arranged for people to occupy the granary and the material warehouse, which was originally a city of Yi, so there were a lot of materials, and these needed to be received.

Regardless of whether the people below complain or not, they are still strictly enforced, do not disturb the people, do not enter the people's houses, and everyone is afraid of death.
