The sun sets westward and the killing continues.

The rebels of Lanshan tribe who were waiting to be beheaded were getting fewer and fewer, and the sounds of struggling and shouting for mercy were getting smaller and smaller. In the end, some people found that everything was futile and just knelt down and waited for death without moving.

Thousands of people kneeling behind were scared to their faces, and they did not dare to move at all. Moreover, they had not even drunk much water since yesterday and had no strength to move.

Li Chengqian saw that the person who was killed had attracted a large group of flies buzzing on the corpse and head, and waved to Xu Jingzong to come to him.

Xu Jingzong was also pale at this time, and walked to Li Chengqian and carefully observed Li Chengqian's face.

Li Chengqian looked at him angrily and wanted to say 'I'm not a murderous devil', but he knew that one or two sentences could not explain clearly, so he simply said directly: "I ordered the kitchen to make more ginger soup and give everyone here two bowls. Don't let the soldiers get heated today."

"I obey the order!" Xu Jingzong hurriedly bowed and was about to leave.

Li Chengqian said angrily: "I haven't finished talking yet!"

Xu Jingzong quickly stopped and dared not move.

Li Chengqian continued with a glance: "I will share all the supplies, cattle, sheep, and camels to the herdsmen of Lanshan who were gathered on our way, and then share the tents to them. Remember to be fair and just when distributing them."

Xu Jingzong nodded beside him and said, "I have recorded it."

"After splitting things, arrange for people to bury these corpses deeply, so that they cannot cause epidemics." Li Chengqian paused and said in a low voice: "The soldiers who died in the Tang Dynasty ordered Su Dingfang and others to recognize the people and then burn them immediately, but the ashes must be kept and placed in the urn jar, with the names of the soldiers clearly written on it.

When the Lone King returned to his army, he would take them all back and find a Fengshui treasure land outside Chang'an City to build a Tang Dynasty heroic tomb for them, which would be sacrificed by the court all year round."

Li Chengqian said that the last five heads had been cut off from below, and the entire square was quiet.

Li Chengqian said to Xu Jingzong: "You go and arrange it first, let the soldiers have a good rest in the past two days."

Xu Jingzong heard Li Chengqian slowly say these arrangements and was so considerate to everyone. It was hard to imagine that he was the one who ordered the killing of a thousand surrendered soldiers just now.

Li Chengqian had no time to pay attention to Xu Jingzong, stood up and walked forward a few steps and shouted: "The mastermind of the Lanshan tribe's rebellion against the Tang Dynasty, except for Ashinadu and a few guards, has been sentenced to all the remaining sinners because of God's virtue of being alive. However, the death penalty can be avoided and the rebels of the Lan tribe will be sent to Jiannan to cut wood and build ships, and ordered the Yuanzhou Governor's Office to send troops out of the country."

Just when some people were shocked by Li Chengqian's ruthless methods, they were surprised to find that the kneeling soldiers of Lanshan tribe were actually shouting with a hoarse voice after listening to Xuanzang's translation.

Li Chengqian waved his hand and asked someone to take them down. These people just tied their arms with ropes and strung more than a dozen people together. With the help of soldiers, they could barely walk by themselves.

Seeing the surrenders from Lanshan tribe being taken away one after another, Li Chengqian smiled at the herdsmen of Lanshan tribe and said, "The Lonely King has avenged you. Now let Master Xuanzang distribute supplies to you cattle, sheep and tents. This will be your home in the future. We will live a good life with grazing."

After saying that, he waved his hand and asked them to follow Xuanzang and the monks to collect things.

After everything was arranged, Li Chengqian helped Liu Kui walk down the platform. Facing Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui who were surrounding him, Li Chengqian smiled faintly and said, "You go and arrange the soldiers to rest first, and other matters will be arranged by Xu Jingzong."

Then he waved to Cheng Wuting, who was wearing a wooden face, and Cheng Wuting hurriedly walked to Li Chengqian. Seeing that he was always wearing a wooden face, he knew that his mind was also impacted today. He patted his shoulder with distress and said, "Take your people with me."

"Ah!" Cheng Wuting was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that he hurriedly went to the army to follow Li Chengqian's car to leave.

Three days later, the affairs of Lanshan tribe came to an end. Li Chengqian summoned Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui, Xu Jingzong, Wang Fangyi, Xuanzang and Yuchi Gong who had been following him to his central army tent and ordered Liu Kui and Wang Qun to guard the outside with their guards.

Li Chengqian sat in the main seat and saw everyone sitting solemnly, then he said straight to the point: "Do you all think that the Lone King is too heavy to kill?"

Everyone did not expect that Li Chengqian was so direct, but the more he was, the harder he could respond, so they simply didn't say a word to give him a reply.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian sighed and said, "The Lonely King doesn't want to kill people like this."

"I am grateful to the Crown Prince. As long as the Crown Prince does not massacre innocent people, I will swear to follow the Crown Prince to the death." Xue Rengui stood up and said firmly.

But Li Chengqian still heard the entanglement in his words.

Li Chengqian raised his hand and signaled Xue Rengui to sit down, took a deep breath and said, "Rengui, I will tell you again, the Lone King is using you, hoping that you will be loyal to your duties and defend your country, not just serve me personally."

Xue Rengui: "Your Highness the Crown Prince..."

"Listen to me first." Li Chengqian interrupted him directly.

"I said 'I don't want to kill too much'. This is the truth, but have you ever thought that since the Zhou, Qin, Han and Jin dynasties, the Northern Di tribes have been causing trouble in China. Even the powerful lords of Qin, Han and Wu cannot eliminate this great harm.

It was not until the fourth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty that the whole country had destroyed the Eastern Turks ruled by Geely. Then Xueyantuo emerged again in the northern part of the Mo, and in more than ten years it reached the point of competing with the Tang Dynasty.

why is that?"

"This?..." Su Dingfang and others began to think after hearing this.

Li Chengqian waited for them for a while and shook his head slightly and said, "You don't understand, this is because the Chinese court has never managed this place well."

Although Xu Jingzong did not understand why Li Chengqian was involved in governance, he still raised doubts: "His prince has been different from Chinese and barbarians since ancient times. How did the Tang Dynasty govern the barbarians here?"

This idea was very popular in the Tang Dynasty and even in the hundreds of years since.

For example, the reason Zhu Suiliang advised Li Shimin to marry Xue Yantuo was that the barbarians in the north of the desert needed a chief to manage, and Xue Yantuo was very suitable. The Tang Dynasty only needed to have a good friend with Xue Yantuo.

In addition, the governing states of the Tang Dynasty also used the method of using barbarians to control barbarians.

Li Chengqian looked at Xu Jingzong and said patiently to him: "So to govern here, we must first change the customs and turn them into Xia."

"Turn into Xia?" Xu Jingzong couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

Li Chengqian ignored him and said lightly: "Since the fourth year of Zhenguan, the Turks surrendered to our Tang Dynasty. Except for occasionally helping the Tang Dynasty send troops, they are all independent tribes at other times. If this continues for decades, the Turks will inevitably become stronger and be disunited from our Tang Dynasty.

Now it seems that the strategy of arranging the Turks back then was tantamount to raising tigers.”

No one else dared to speak up because this was a strategy set by Li Shimin.

Li Chengqian ignored these things, looking at Yuchi Gong, who was squinting his eyes, continued: "So the most important thing for the Gu Wang to go north this time is to completely turn the Turkic clan into the Tang people."

Su Dingfang opened his mouth wide and stuttered: "How can this change?"

Everyone thought of the difficulties when they heard this, and looked at Li Chengqian and wanted to know what he could do.

Li Chengqian looked at everyone confidently and said, "What's the difficulty? The herdsmen of the Lanshan tribe we gathered were originally Turkic people, what about now?"

When everyone heard this, they thought it was true. Now the herdsmen of Lanshan tribe are really grateful to the Tang Dynasty and Li Chengqian, but they are very careful about the Turks.

Su Dingfang thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, the prince, I found out that the Lanshan tribe was indeed blackmailed by the nearby pastoral prison. Later, we saw the cattle, sheep and horses in the Lanshan tribe camp were all stolen from the Qiang people.

I'm afraid other Turkic tribes are also blackmailed by the herds prison, but it is impossible for Qu Luchu of every tribe to drive the tribe out of the tribe..."

Su Dingfang means that the affairs of Lanshan tribe cannot be copied.

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "General Su is right, but you have to know which tribe has some incompetent people.

Many of these people don’t know that they are descendants of the White Wolf. As long as we send all those who know that they are descendants of the White Wolf to Jiannan to cut wood, the remaining people will be handed over to Master Xuanzang to learn Buddhism. In a few decades, there will be no Turks here, and no one knows that there was once a Turks here."

After hearing this, everyone turned around and looked at Xuanzang sitting at the end. Xuanzang looked up at everyone and said modestly: "I have been talking to the herdsmen of Lanshan tribe about Mr. Xu's "Legend of Heaven and Earth" to the herdsmen of Lanshan tribe."

At this moment, even Xu Jingzong suddenly looked at Li Chengqian and was surprised, and couldn't help but sigh: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is really far-sighted and intelligent!"

Li Chengqian said with a righteous expression: "This is the case for the Turks, and this is the case for other tribes in the north and south of the desert. In a few years, people who grazed here will learn Buddhism and be under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty. In addition to grazing for a living, there is no difference from the counties and counties in the Central Plains. As long as the court's government does not lose its orders, the northern border will be peaceful forever."

People in the big tent are all people who are determined to make achievements and have been remembered in history. How can they not be moved when they hear such great achievements?

He looked at Li Chengqian with his eyes shining, and even Yuchi Gong, who had been indifferent, breathed rapidly.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian said coldly to everyone: "If you want to accomplish this big thing, you must first kill the chiefs, heads, etc. of each tribe, that is, those who know who their tribe's ancestors are, either kill them or send them to Jiannan to cut wood and eventually exhaust them!"

When everyone heard this, they were trapped in a war between heaven and man. The massacre was something that no one wanted to do, but if this thing was done, it would be a great thing that would benefit the present and the future...

While everyone was thinking about how to choose, Yuchi Gong woke up first. Seeing everyone thinking hard, a trace of ridicule came out of the corner of his mouth: How could you decide such a big thing?

It seems that it is time to send your Majesty a message back!
