"Shubao was cheated by Lao Cheng this time!" By the Huangqu River, Ma Ye held a fishing rod in one hand and a small teapot, and shook his head while tasting the tea.

"General Qin must have thought of this result before he went there. Moreover, General Cheng had such a large-scale killing, and his Majesty's answer might have been received behind his back. Anyone with some eyesight in the court could see it, otherwise there would not be only a few ignorant censors who were not serious about this matter." Li Xiu also said with a smile at this time.

Just as Li Xiu finished speaking, he suddenly saw the fish floating on the river tremble violently, which made him happy, but he did not lift the rod immediately because the fish eating bait was testing. When the fish floating suddenly sank down, Li Xiu then shook his hand and lifted the fishing rod. As a result, he felt that his hand sinking, and then a big carp, a foot-long length, rolled out of the water.

"Haha~, the start was good, I caught a big golden carp as soon as I got up. It seems that my harvest today must be good!" Li Xiu looked at the big carp that was jumping around in the sun, and laughed loudly. This carp is not only big, but also has yellow scales, and looks like gold under the sunlight. Such a carp is called a golden carp. Whether it is delicious or not is the second. The key is a good omen.

"I'm in a bad mood, and I don't even take the fish in the river!" Seeing Li Xiu taking the lead, Ma couldn't help rolling his eyes and said.

It’s no wonder that Ma Ye didn’t have the heart to fish, because Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin, who rushed to the southwest to suppress the rebellion some time ago, finally heard news that Tuoba Chici had been struggling to rebel with a 60,000 army after conquering Dangxiang’s five prefectures, claiming to be 100,000. Before Qin Qiong and others arrived, Tuoba Chici led the 100,000 army of Dangxiang to attack Nanhuizhou. As a result, the Nanhuizhou Governor Zheng Yuanjue was defeated and had to tighten the defense line and move the people in the prefecture to Nanhui City, and use the benefits of the city wall to resist the attack of the Dangxiang people.

Nanhuizhou is located in the southwest and was originally a military center of the Tang Dynasty. However, in the early years of Zhenguan, Zheng Yuanchou recruited Dangxiang people to join the Tang Dynasty, so he established Dangxiang Five Prefectures outside Nanhuizhou. With the barrier of these five prefectures, Nanhuizhou did not have to face the threat from the southwest, which greatly increased the security in the prefectures. Zheng Yuanchou was also rewarded by the court, but some of the troops stationed in Nanhuizhou were also stripped away. After all, the early years of Zhenguan were when Li Shimin slept on firewood and tasted gall to destroy the Turks. Except for the north, the troops in other places were reduced as much as possible, in order to save financial and material resources.

However, Zheng Yuanchou did not expect that the Dangxiang people he recruited would rebel when Li Yuan died. At this time, the troops in Nanhuizhou were only 10,000, and most of them were recruited temporarily. It would definitely not work if he went out of the city to fight. He could only defend himself with the help of the city wall.

Among the Dangxiang people, the only one who really wanted to rebel was the Tuoba tribe. Other Dangxiang people were also enslaved by the Tuoba tribe and their combat effectiveness was not very strong. Therefore, Zheng Yuanchou actually defended Nanhui City with a temporary recruitment army of 10,000. Finally, when the food in the city was about to end, he finally looked forward to Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin's reinforcements.

At the city of Nanhui, Qin Qiong charged forward with 5,000 cavalry and drilled out Dangxiang's army in one fell swoop. Then Cheng Yaojin led 10,000 elite troops to take advantage of the chaos. At the same time, Zheng Yuanchou in Nanhui City also seized the opportunity and opened the city gate to lead the defenders in the city to fight out. As a result, under three attacks, 60,000 Dangxiang's army was killed and defeated. In particular, Cheng Yaojin chased the fleeing Dangxiang people for three days and three nights, causing corpses to be buried everywhere on the road to escape.

Although the Dangxiang people were defeated, Tuoba Chici was not caught, and Cheng Yaojin was far from fulfilling Li Shimin's advice to him. To calm the anger of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, more Dangxiang people's blood must be used.

It is precisely because of this that after defeating the Dangxiang people, Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong just took a break and then rushed into the Dangxiang Five Prefectures. Although the Dangxiang Five Prefectures had previously joined the Tang Dynasty, the customs remained unchanged. Moreover, there were no big cities in the five prefectures, but only tribal alliances after tribe. Some tribes belonged to the same clan, and some were closer to each other, while others were enemies for generations and fought with each other, which was similar to the situation of the grassland people.

Cheng Yaojin came to kill people this time, so after entering Dangxiang Wuzhou, all the tribes that had participated in the Tuoba Chici rebellion were brutally slaughtered by him. Although Qin Qiong was a military general, he was kind and righteous, and once persuaded Cheng Yaojin to show mercy. After all, there were more than 300,000 Dangxiang people. Although many of them participated in the rebellion, many of them were innocent.

However, I didn't know what Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong said later. In the end, Qin Qiong simply led the cavalry behind to clean up the mess and no longer cared about Cheng Yaojin's actions in front. As a result, Cheng Yaojin had no restraint. In front, he killed people and blood flowed into a river. Countless Dangxiang tribes were slaughtered. Many of them did not participate in the rebellion, but when they faced the Tang army, they would be ordered to exterminate the clan. For this reason, there were countless Dangxiang people who died under the sword of the Tang army.

"Old Cheng is so happy to kill this time, but poor Shubao still has to recite this infamy with him. What will be written in history books in the future?" Ma Master lifted the rod at this time, and found that the bait had been stolen by the little fish. He had no choice but to hang another one, throw it into the river and said.

"Don't worry, this time, the Dangxiang people took the initiative to rebel. The whole Tang Dynasty also shared the same hatred for the enemy. Even if General Cheng killed more, historians would pass by at most with the Spring and Autumn style. After all, our Tang Dynasty was famous, and historians dared not record some disgraceful things!" Li Xiu said with a smile at this time. Li Xiu's biggest advantage was that he was familiar with the history of later generations. For this reason, he had also come into contact with many historians and had some profound insights into the records of historical books.

"That's the best. Shubao's life is kind and righteous. I'm really afraid that he will lose his integrity in his later years and be ruined by Lao Cheng. But when Shubao and I are so old, they finally fulfilled his wish before destroying the Turks, but it is unlikely that he will have another chance for Goguryeo!" Ma Ye nodded with relief at first, but when he mentioned Goguryeo, his face also showed a gloomy look.

Qin Qiong had two wishes in his life, one was to destroy the Turks who had a grudge against killing his father, and the other was to attack Goguryeo and to clean up the corpses of the old brothers who died in Goguryeo in the former Sui Dynasty. This was also Ma Ye's wish. Although the Turks were destroyed now, there was no movement to the Goguryeo court for the time being.

Seeing the lonely expression on Ma Ye’s face when he mentioned Goguryeo, Li Xiu couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Ma Ye and Qin Qiong both participated in the Battle of Goguryeo, but because of the civil strife in the former Sui Dynasty and Yang Guang’s great joy, they were defeated in all three battles. Countless men in the Central Plains went to Liaodong, and now they can’t even recover their corpses.

However, just as Li Xiu was about to comfort Mr. Ma, he suddenly saw a guard in the mansion running over hurriedly and shouting: "Master! Big...thing is wrong, the second young master is causing a big disaster!"
