Chapter 253 Opportunities for both sides

Li Chengqian looked at Su Dingfang and Xu Jingzong's shameful look and felt a little relieved, so he let them go and said lightly: "Don't be ashamed now, think about how to deal with the night things!"

"Since His Highness, the prince already knows that the surrendered soldiers of Xue Yantuo are inappropriate, I would like to lead troops to the prisoner camp immediately for interrogation. Anyone who plans this matter will be beheaded in public." Xu Jingzong immediately stepped forward and said with a murderous intent.

"I am willing to lead troops to accompany Mr. Xu!" Wang Fangyi hurriedly said.

This is a relatively conservative and secure way to deal with it.

Li Chengqian turned his head to look at the others, and when he saw the other people's expressions, he seemed to be inclined to deal with it like this. But Li Chengqian didn't think so, because if he had pulled out the lead and killed the ones who took the lead, he would not find a reason and publicly killed all the Xueyantuo surrendered soldiers.

Li Chengqian, the direct descendant of Xue Yantuo, did not intend to let them live. His previous plan was to starve these people to death. Now Li Chengqian wants to take this opportunity to openly kill and establish his authority.

So this opportunity is very important, because if Li Chengqian had no reasonable reason, he would kill these people. Not to mention that there were nearly 200,000 tribal coalition forces in the south, even the ministers of the Tang court would not spare him.

Although Li Chengqian was very powerful in the killing of all directions in Chang'an City before, it was because the people he killed were involved in the dispute over the crown prince. It is understandable that he killed those people and officials. If those people were not killed completely, they would definitely be called the kindness of women.

However, killing surrender is something that Chinese civil officials have never accepted. When they return to Chang'an City, they will inevitably be criticized. Even if they cannot do anything to Li Chengqian for a while, they will still implicate the generals around him.

This is also the reason why Xu Jingzong and Su Dingfang disagree with him to kill Yi Nan and others. One reason is that they themselves do not agree to the killing and surrendering, and the other reason is that they are afraid of going back and becoming victims.

In history, Cheng Yaojin guarded the gate for Li Zhi for three months after Li Shimin's death. He did not return home until Li Zhi held the throne. It can be said that he was deeply trusted by Li Zhi, but later he was demoted to the court because of his expedition and killing.

Now that Xue Yantuo is captive, he is seeking death and mutiny, Li Chengqian of course had to take the opportunity to openly kill tens of thousands of people in Xue Yantuo in one fell swoop to shock the northern border. This would not only reduce the obstacles for him to govern the northern border, but also shock the hearts of the people in the court.

Li Chengqian looked at Xu Jingzong and Wang Fangyi not talking. As long as others were not stupid, they naturally understood that Li Chengqian not only wanted to find the premeditated person to kill him, but must have other ideas, so he naturally would not stand up and agree with Xu Jingzong.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Wang Fangyi whispered to remind Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian looked at him without saying anything. Wang Fangyi was shocked. He knew that he had disobeyed Li Chengqian, but he didn't know what he did wrong, and his heart was full of twists and turns.

Li Chengqian's eyes were calmly scanning the faces of the ministers in the tent. The atmosphere in the tent was a bit solemn. A layer of sweat appeared on Xu Jingzong's forehead, and he did not dare to move at all.

After a while, Li Chengqian said lightly: "There are many people involved in this matter, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to hear."

"Since it's not easy to try, it's better to kill them all." Cheng Wuting said biting. His young character made Li Chengqian unhappy because he asked the truth and falsehood just now. He didn't blame Li Chengqian for only hating Xue Yantuo's prisoners, so he was very murderous to Xue Yantuo's prisoners.

Li Chengqian smiled slightly when he heard this. When everyone in the tent saw that he naturally understood Li Chengqian's intentions, he did not dare to speak casually for a while, for fear that he would get involved in the murder and return to the court could not explain clearly.

Li Chengqian was slightly angry when he saw that no one helped Cheng Wuting speak. He looked at Cheng Wuting and said lightly: "The Lone King had this idea, so he waited until today to tell you about this, just to take the opportunity to kill them completely."

After Cheng Wuting finished speaking, he saw Li Chengqian's expression and knew that Li Chengqian was thinking so. Then he realized that he had made a taboo when he saw that everyone was not speaking. However, he was not bad. As long as he was young and did not die, he would use it in the future.

At this time, when Li Chengqian said this, he was clearly expelling him. He hurriedly stepped forward and said excitedly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is the minister..."

Li Chengqian raised his hand to stop him, his face turned solemn, and said in a deep voice: "Since you already know that Xue Yantuo's prisoners will rebel tonight, please ask General Su to prepare. As long as they dare to go out of the prisoner-of-war camp, kill them regardless of whether they surrendered, and the surrendered ones will be transferred to the Ice City on the other side of the river."

Upon hearing this, Su Dingfang hurriedly clasped his fists and lowered his head, "I obey the order!" After pausing, he asked with his scalp and said, "I just don't know if Ice City is?"

Seeing that Li Chengqian wanted to kill Xue Yantuo's surrendered soldiers, Su Dingfang was very clear, and as the chief general, he didn't know what was going on in Bingcheng, so he naturally had to ask clearly.

Li Chengqian smiled brilliantly when he heard this, "The Lone King originally wanted to kill all the Xueyantuo surrendered soldiers, but it was cold and it was really difficult to dig a hole, so he built an ice city on the other side of the Yellow River and was about to encircle them first."

Everyone was relieved when they heard this, but they looked at Li Chengqian's smile and felt something was wrong. However, since Li Chengqian was not going to kill someone immediately, they still had to prepare to deal with Xue Yantuo's surrendered soldiers first.

This is not a trivial matter for the riot of tens of thousands of prisoners. Even Su Dingfang had to do his best when he received the order. He hurriedly asked to withdraw from the account and checked the terrain of Xueyantuo's prisoner camp and its surrounding areas, so as to arrange troops and arrange troops.

Others may have to assist Su Dingfang, or even leave the official duties, but Cheng Wuting was signaled by Li Chengqian to stay.

----------------

The captive camp of Xueyantuo was wearing tattered dirty sheepskin, and looked at the yellow-faced Turkic warrior in front of him with a gloomy look. This Turkic warrior was named Lehe, who was under his subordinate to the Turkic tribe and was loyal to him. These days, he was in the captive camp of Xueyantuo, and Lehe helped him with the outside.

Lu Zhi didn't believe that Li Li Chengqian would give Li Simo a chance to flee to Mobei with his troops, but Li Simo had neither the ability nor the courage to cooperate with Xue Yantuo's surrendered soldiers to attack the Tang army and capture Li Chengqian.

Therefore, Lu Zhi had to come forward and join forces with the Xueyantuo surrendered soldiers. The Xueyantuo surrendered soldiers are in a bad situation. Not only are they confiscated by the Tang army, but they even eat very little.

Since being captured, Xue Yantuo surrendered to the injured and the weak according to the customs of the tribe, regardless of or less food was given to the injured and the weak. Later, the elderly, weak and sick and injured were starved to death one after another. The living young and strong thought they could have a bite of food, but they did not expect that the food was still decreasing, and there was a possibility that they would starve all to death.

In Xueyantuo's stroke, there was actually a nephew named Dumozhi hidden in the Yi Man's nephew, Dumozhi, who was the backbone of these 30,000 surrendered soldiers. As they ate less and less, Dumozhi had realized the serious crisis, but realized that the crisis was useless because their tribe members were hungry and had no strength to resist and could only wait for death.

At this time, Lu Zhi found Dumozhi and was willing to provide sufficient food for Xueyantuo's surrendered soldiers. He asked Dumozhi to cooperate with him and naturally gain the trust of the other party.

In the past two days, Lu Zhi passed Lehe, who was still in the Turkic camp, and had already delivered several full meals to the Xueyantuo surrendered soldiers. According to yesterday's arrangement, the matter should be brought tonight. Today, all the food stored in Li Simo's camp should be delivered, so that the Xueyantuo surrendered soldiers could have a good meal and then launch a riot.

Lu Zhi waited in the camp for a whole morning but didn't see anyone delivering food. It was not until noon that one of his troops came to see him, saying that the Tang army suddenly patrolled nearby today and detained all the food sent to Xueyantuo's Surrender Camp.

After hearing the news, Lu Zhi's face was so gloomy that it could drip out of water. He didn't know whether it was Tang Jun who knew his plan to cut off food or the Tang Jun who had originally planned to starve these Xue Yantuo surrendered soldiers to death.

But no matter which one, they are already extremely dangerous.

After a while, Lu Zhi turned his head and looked at Dumochi sitting beside him, and said gloomyly: "It seems that the trouble must be brought tonight!"

Dumochi nodded heavily when he heard this. He knew that tonight was their last chance. If they could not raise trouble tonight, the surrendered soldiers would no longer have the strength to resist tomorrow.
