Others may not know about military rations, but Li Simo himself knew very well, so he chose to go out for a fierce battle without hesitation after receiving the order.

Fortunately, although the Xueyantuo surrendered soldiers were not afraid of death, most of them had no weapons and had been hungry for a day. At first, they were angry because they saw Dumozhi being killed and fought with Lu Zhi and others. Later, they were guided to attack Li Simo's camp, trying to grab some food.

However, as Li Simo brought the elite Turkic troops out of the camp, the morale of these people was quickly wiped out, and in the end, Li Simo was really calmed down at dawn.

Li Simo rode on the horse and watched the lifeless Xue Yantuo surrender squatted numbly on the snow, knowing that they would die, and the final forced investigation may not be as heroic as those lying on the red snow.

In this battle, the soldiers surrendered by Xueyantuo were seriously injured, and the Turks also paid more than 2,000 casualties.

When Li Simo came to the Tang Army camp, he realized that Li Chengqian was not in the camp at all last night and had not come back yet.

Standing on the snow in front of the tent, Li Simo felt sad and sighed to the sky.

After returning to the camp, Li Chengqian did not ask why the surrendered soldiers of Xueyantuo rebelled. He also claimed that Li Simo had made contributions to suppress the rebellion. Finally, he ordered all the surrendered soldiers of Xueyantuo to be taken into vain city for custody.

In order to express his surrender, Li Simo personally escorted Xue Yantuo's surrendered soldiers to the Bingcheng on the other side of the river. He saw that the Tang general who was responsible for accepting Xue Yantuo's surrendered soldiers was Cheng Wuting.

Li Simo looked at Cheng Wuting immediately in front of the crystal clear and tall ice city, and hurriedly stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry, General Cheng, has been waiting for a long time."

Cheng Wuting rode his horse and clasped his fists at Li Simo and said, "Thank you for your hard work, General Li!"

A group of veteran Tang army soldiers came out from Cheng Wu. These people were from the Lingzhou Governor's Office and could say a few words to Xue Yantuo.

These people walked to Xueyantuo's stroke and shouted repeatedly in Chinese and Xueyantuo:

"Go in well, and I'll give you food when you go in."

"I have something to eat when I entered the Ice City."

...

...

The half-dead Xue Yantuo surrendered the soldiers heard something to eat, and were unconsciously excited. The lifeless team had a commotion, and then they accelerated their pace toward the Ice City.

Seeing that Cheng Wuting had no intention of dismounting, Li Simo immediately watched Xue Yantuo surrendered into the Ice City from the side of the road.

The tent at the gate of Bingcheng was not removed. When Li Chengqian left, he moved everything inside, and now he only took the next empty tent.

The surrendered soldiers of Xue Yantuo walked into the tent and entered the Ice City through the back door. They could not see the situation inside the Ice City at the gate of the Ice City.

More than 20,000 Xue Yantuo surrendered soldiers lined up in a long line. The 20,000 people walked for nearly two hours before they all entered the ice city. The people who went in line stood in the innermost part of the ice city. Looking at the long brigade behind, they were anxiously looking forward to the food delivered by Tang Jun.

Seeing that Xue Yantuo surrendered soldiers finally walked into the ice city, Li Simo thought that his mission had been completed, so he bowed to Cheng Wuting and said, "General Cheng, all Xue Yantuo's soldiers have entered the city, so I will say goodbye."

"Please, General!"

Li Simo turned his head and walked back when he heard this. As soon as he took two steps, he heard Cheng Wu shout loudly: "Closing the city!"

Li Simo couldn't help but look back, and saw many Tang soldiers running out of both sides of the ice city, leading cows and horses, dragging all blocks of big stones on the ice behind the cows and horses.

I saw them dragging the stones to the gate of Ice City, and someone began to build walls with water and stones.

Here in the Ice City, there are more than ten degrees below zero. A stone is laid on it and poured a pot of steaming water on it. Then, another layer of stone is quickly laid. After the water becomes ice, it will be frozen between the two stones.

Li Simo's heart sank, knowing that Li Chengqian was going to freeze all these people to death in this ice city, so he didn't look back and whip back to the river.

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

In the afternoon, when the sun was warmest, Li Chengqian rode a tall horse and slowly came to the already sealed ice city surrounded by a group of civil and military ministers and guards.

At this time, the gate of the Ice City had been completely sealed, and more than ten arrow towers were built with giant trees around the Ice City, and archers stood on it to watch the movements of the Ice City closely.

Li Chengqian and others came to the front of the Ice City, and Cheng Wu was very busy coming forward to greet him.

"See Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

"No gift!" Li Chengqian dismounted and walked to Cheng Wuting and asked, "Are Xue Yantuo's rebels still peaceful?"

Everyone behind him turned dark when they heard this. How could they be content with their own death even though they knew they would die?

Cheng Wuting replied seriously: "The rebels in the Ice City learned that Ice City was blocked for a while in the morning, but as all the people close to the Ice Wall were shot to death, it gradually became quiet.

Now every time, people will go crazy and pounce on the ice wall, but the number is small and they are usually shot to death soon."

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Okay, these people didn't eat anything for a day yesterday and fought for a night. Now they are frozen in the ice and snow again. After tonight, most people will not have the strength to make trouble again."

After him, Xu Jingzong sighed in his heart when he heard this, and most people may die after tonight.

After Li Chengqian said this, he turned around and looked at the people behind him and said, "Since we are here, we will go up to these Xue Yantuo rebels!"

Li Chengqian was so annoyed by these people that he had no choice but to bring him here.

Since Li Chengqian decided to kill these people openly, he naturally had to summon the leaders of the nearby tribes to see his achievements.

But as soon as he spoke out this idea, he was immediately opposed. Almost everyone believed that the reason was to kill these people because they surrendered and rebelled again.

But if all the leaders of the small tribes nearby were summoned to intimidate, it would inevitably cause psychological shadows on these people, and the Tang Dynasty would never be able to win the hearts of the people here again.

This time, not only did Xu Jingzong and Su Dingfang firmly oppose it, but even Yuchi Gong, who had never spoken much, said that this matter should be decided by His Majesty.

Li Chengqian discovered that except for Wang Fangyi who wanted to speak but did not dare to speak, Qiu Xinggong was the only one who supported him.

So Li Chengqian decided to bring all these people here, first let them see the Xueyantuo people waiting to die, and then convince them.

In order to monitor the movement inside the Ice City, Cheng Wuting also built a relatively large arrow tower at the gate of the original Ice City.

However, when building it, he never thought that Li Chengqian would climb the arrow tower himself, so it was extremely simple to build it. To go up, people must use both hands and feet.

Li Chengqian had an injury on his foot and could only stand in the hanging basket and was pulled up by the soldiers, so Wang Fangyi and Wang Qun climbed up first and then put down the hanging basket and pulled Li Chengqian up.

Cheng Wuting watched Li Chengqian standing in the hanging basket and holding Liu Kui slowly as he rose. His eyes were red and turned around and looked at Su Dingfang and others who had always been respected. He said angrily: "Are those barbarians in your eyes more important than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Well?"
