Li Chengqian hooked Du Gou's fingers and called him to the carriage. Then he asked as the carriage started, "What are you going to save? About 20,000 Goguryeo people gathered in your jurisdiction. If one day they launch a rebellion, how many people do you think will die?"

"They will not rebel. As long as we can make their lives better than in Goguryeo, why do they rebel? Is the Tang Dynasty not as good as their Goguryeo?" Du Gou argued with his neck, trying to convince Li Chengqian.

"No, I don't believe in any alien race." Li Chengqian did not want to continue arguing with Du Gou. Although Dengzhou Prefecture is in peace, who knows how much energy is hidden under this calmness.

Although there are many Turkic people in Chang'an who are given free self, they have their own tribal leaders. As long as they keep their leaders under control, there will not be much changes below. Moreover, those Turkic people are not living with the Tang people. They live in an independent area on the south bank of the Yellow River. Even if something happens, they will have enough reaction time.

Li Chengqian, who was a little irritated, didn't want to pay attention to Xiao Du. He called Xiao Du into the car just to take him away so that there would be any problems in Dengzhou and let the kid get in. It would be difficult for Lao Du to explain to him. Apart from that, he did not want to have any communication with Xiao Du.

However, Du Gou did not teach himself at all because he was disliked. He still stole Li Chengqian and said endlessly: "Your Highness, please let them go. These people are really pitiful! They are also humans."

Li Chengqian sneered: "Pity? There are so many pitiful people in this world, and there are many pitiful people in my Tang Dynasty. Why don't you feel pitiful? Poor Goguryeo... I'm not afraid to tell you that these Goguryeo people could have lived well, but because of your temporary 'mercy', they are determined to die and all will die."

"What...what?" Du Gou fell into a state of dullness and did not react for a long time what Li Chengqian meant.

It was not until Li Chengqian ordered Shu Tian to contact the spy from the 'Seventh Group' and sent a message to Wang Chenghu who had already been transferred to Shandong that he realized what a certain prince wanted to do. He begged with a trembling voice: "Your Highness, no, no, that's tens of thousands of people, tens of thousands of people, you can't kill them like this..."

"'One official, benefit the people', Dengzhou has today's scene and your contributions. I know that, but this is not the capital for you to protect those Goguryeo people."

Li Chengqian looked at Shu Tian who was galloping away and turned around and continued to Du Gou: "This palace recommends that you put down your scholarly spirit and put yourself in your shoes and think about it carefully. If those Goguryeo colluded with each other, would more than 20,000 people be able to release those compatriots who were still slaves outside the city? If they were released, how would you control the Goguryeo people who were about 50,000?"

"But, Your Highness, you are forcing them to rebel! They have lived here calmly for at least half a year, and the seeds in the ground have been planted. How could they rebel?" Du Gou leaned against the wall of the car, with a hint of despair in his eyes.

Li Chengqian issued a decisive order, and all Goguryeo slaves who were still in the camp were poisoned and no one left. With this order, tens of thousands of Goguryeo people will die in the same way as a day to a day and a half, and there will be no accident.

In the Tang Dynasty, not everyone was as ideal as Du Gou. In ancient times, due to technology and knowledge, survival resources were very scarce. If you want to survive better, you must be more ruthless, be cruel to yourself and even more ruthless to foreign races.

Moreover, it was not the Tang people who thought this way, but the alien races also had the same idea. Otherwise, there would be no possibility that the alien race would always invade the Central Plains.

"Du Gou, be more mature. Think about it carefully. If these Goguryeo really rebelled, what would you use to stop it? If there were indeed people in the Tang Dynasty who died at the hands of these Goguryeo, what would you have to face the elders and villagers on this land?" Looking at Du Gou who was a little sad, Li Chengqian felt that he seemed wrong. It seemed that he should not have let a scholarly guy like him come to work in the local area. This seemed to be irresponsible to him and the people of Dengzhou.

Xiao Du did not answer Li Chengqian's words, but just leaned against the carriage and stared silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing this situation, Li Chengqian naturally would not talk to him anymore. As the carriage moved forward, he fell into deep thought.

The governor of Dengzhou must be replaced. A guy like this who has no position to compromise and cannot even manage his subordinates should be the county magistrate. The position of the governor is not suitable for him.

At the same time, the Sheichong Mansion in Dengzhou must be prepared for battle at any time. Once all the slaves outside the city die, it is likely to arouse the rebellious spirit of the Goguryeo who have been dismissed from slavery. This must be prevented in advance.

"Young Master, there are people following us behind us. Should we deal with it?" As the carriage continued to move, Ye Mei's voice suddenly sounded outside the carriage.

"You guys look at it and don't leave a head and tail." Li Chengqian turned his head to the car window and said calmly to Ye Mei who was hanging outside the car box.

Li Chengqian did not hide his movements from Chang'an to Dengzhou, but he was not too arrogant. Apart from some familiar officials along the way, he would notify him and find a place to talk about the past, but he would basically not be disturbed if he could.

When he arrived in Dengzhou, he only notified Du Gou, but did not notify the governor of Dengzhou. He also passed by. After sending the envoys of the Tang Dynasty from Japan away, he had to go out to sea to go south and go to Quanzhou to see it. It was not a good thing to alarm too many people.

He did not forget that he was actually exiled under the name of "Personal Husbandry". If he really took out the "Personal Husbandry" style, he would probably be caught by the old man in three days and beat the board again.

But now the situation has changed. Since leaving Dengzhou, there are people following behind. This is definitely not a good sign.

After all, his team was joined with the Japanese envoys to send Tang to the Tang Dynasty. After all, there were more than a thousand people. When facing an army of more than a thousand people, they still dared to follow behind. It is clear how their purpose and motivation are not asked.

Ye Mei left quietly, and the speed of the moving team began to accelerate without realizing it, and a tense atmosphere began to spread throughout the team.

"What's wrong? Gao Ming, is something wrong?" Du Gou, leaning against the carriage, also heard Ye Mei's report and Li Chengqian's arrangements. As the convoy speed accelerated, he naturally became alert.

"It's nothing, just a few little insects." Li Chengqian answered indifferently, and began to be alert to Du Gou, the boy.
