"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, General Zhang, they are back, and they have brought a large number of prisoners." At this time, a soldier came to report.

Li Chengqian could only put down his thoughts first and deal with other things.

In Li Chengqian's tent, Zhang Liang and several other generals arrived, and Li Chengqian ordered them to set up camp first, and then send people to accept prisoners and other matters.

A few people have also heard about yesterday's events, but they have been fighting all year round, and this kind of thing is commonplace.

They didn't think that this matter was serious, and they could just punish them a little if they said more, and they scoffed at Li Shen for doing so.

This little prince is really holding chicken feathers as an arrow, and they have a lot of opinions on the rules for entering the city proposed by Li Shen.

But Li Chengqian and Li Daozong both agreed, and they had no choice, and they were also afraid that Li Shen, the overseer, would do something if he was ruthless.

But this time, Li Shen is just a paper tiger, and many things can be changed in the future.

They were more happy about Li Shen's departure. Especially Ashina Sheer and Li Simo and others, they were originally grassland tribes, and they fought for spoils.

"There are only three other cities left, and according to the plan, we should send someone to persuade them to surrender first." As soon as Li Chengqian said this, Li Tao interjected.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister thinks that it is better to persuade them to surrender, and to defeat them, so that they can also be afraid of the majesty of my Tang Dynasty, so that they will not have two hearts."

The minister also felt that it was not a matter of concern that the three cities were a rabble. We have more than 200,000 troops, and so many prisoners.

As long as we drive the captives to the siege, our losses will be small. Qiu Xiaozhong also said.

The captives of this period were basically used in this way, and there was nothing wrong with that.

Li Chengqian frowned, the previous plan was more than this, they had always used the policy of Huai Rou, conquering one place and conquering the hearts of the people first.

"In fact, the minister also thinks that it is better to attack it so that the Goguryeo people can be afraid of our Tang Dynasty." Li Simo also said.

"The minister thinks so, too."

"I think it should be."

These generals all agreed to attack at first, and only the credit for besieging the city did not belong to them.

Li Chengqian quickly thought of this, and couldn't help but think of the human nature that Li Shen said.

He turned his head to ask Li Daozong's opinion, and Li Daozong at this moment was also frowning, he didn't expect that as soon as Li Shen left, there would be such a situation.

These people began to disobey the prince's opinion, which could not achieve Li Shimin's goal.

"General Li, this king heard that you are the crown prince of the East Palace, Zhan Shi and Zuo Wei Rate, I don't know if it's true or not." Li Daozong didn't say anything else, but said to Li Tao knowingly.

After hearing this, Li Tao was stunned, and he didn't understand why Li Daozong asked this question at this time, but he quickly figured out that this was Li Daozong pointing at himself, don't forget his identity.

"Back to the prince, the minister is indeed there."

"Then you say, should it be persuaded to surrender, or directly attack the city?" Li Daozong asked with a smile on his face.

Li Daozong's question was very vague, but the meaning was very clear, whether it was you who had the final say or the prince who had the final say.

"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he would act according to the plan, of course, he must first persuade him to surrender, and if the other party does not surrender, it will be decided by His Royal Highness the Prince."

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Tao went against his original intention, which made everyone else look at him.

Li Daozong was very satisfied with Li Tao's answer, which was one of the purposes for Li Shimin to let him come, to deter the generals.

Li Daozong's military exploits are outstanding, his merits are real, and he also has his status as a royal family, and no one else wants to find something wrong.

If Li Shen also has military exploits, he will never be ignored.

Li Tao looked at the others looking at him, and he said a word to the others.

"Everything must be ordered by the Generalissimo, and we are just suggestions."

This is to remind others that the crown prince is the generalissimo and do not forget his identity. As the crown prince Zhan Shi, he did ignore his identity before.

"The ministers obey the orders of the generalissimo." Everyone saluted Li Chengqian.

"Okay, then send 5,000 soldiers to escort the translator to the three cities to persuade him to surrender, if not, then my Tang generals will come to the city." Li Chengqian finally ordered,

It's just that he is ready to chase Li Shen back, Li Shimin explained a lot of things to him when he set off, and Li Shen's role is very great.

From the beginning to the end of the plan for Goguryeo, Li Shen knew best, and Li Shen had already made arrangements in advance in many places.

These arrangements were known only to him, and they were of great help in the attack on Goguryeo.

Everyone went out to repair the team, and Li Chengqian was ready to send someone to chase Li Shen back, but he didn't know who to send.

Ordinary soldiers would definitely not be able to catch up with Li Shen.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, do you want to chase King Ji back?" After everyone else went out, Li Daozong, as the deputy marshal and tutor, would definitely be in the handsome tent.

"Uncle Huang, do you say that we are really wrong, the tenth brother has done things for his purpose since he was a child, and the Huairou policy that the tenth brother said has indeed played a great role.

Now the rear is so stable, because we are good to the people of Goguryeo, and they are willing to support our Tang Dynasty.

The tenth brother was actually thinking about the overall situation, but Bengong didn't think of this and left the tenth brother angry. Hongu is really a little ashamed. ”

Li Chengqian figured out Li Shen's thoughts, military discipline should be strict, and it cannot be ordered or prohibited, so what is it called military discipline.

"Alas, what His Highness said is that the old minister didn't think so much about it yesterday, and King Ji's idea is a new combat idea, which is different from ours back then.

Although we followed the first emperor to fight the world in the name of the people, we would plunder some property as a reward for the soldiers after each war, and dirty things were not uncommon.

We're all used to it. Li Daozong was also sighing.

"But Uncle Huang, after Gaozu seized the world, there were still rebellions in the world, and how many years did you follow Aya to quell the rebellion.

If the people were like the people of Goguryeo now, do you think there would still be people who would follow the rebellion? "Li Chengqian has not been a fool in vain over the years, studying all kinds of history, and thinking about Li Shen's new thoughts.

Combined with the teachings of other old ministers, he himself is not a fool, of course he can think, but Li Chengqian's character is not as decisive as Li Shimin.

That's why Li Shimin wanted Li Chengqian to come out to experience.

Li Daozong listened to Li Chengqian's words, and while thinking about what Li Shen said, he nodded and said:

"What the prince said is that if it was like this back then, there would not be many people who would follow the rebellion, but many times there was a cause and effect, and the war was rampant back then, which did not allow us to fight steadily, and the situation back then was different from now.

Your Majesty is a Ming monarch, how can you not know the benefits of appeasing the people, and in the later period, our counterinsurgency is actually similar to a gentle policy. ”
