Chapter 369: A tooth for a tooth, blood for blood
“That’s right!”
Li Shimin nodded with a smile, and there was no surprise at the arrival of Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others.
"Dare you ask your Majesty, is it a good news for the Turkic war?"
Seeing Li Shimin's expression, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on their faces.
"A great victory in Lingzhou!"
Li Shimin laughed freely, "Xue Wanche and Duan Zhixuan and others fought a beautiful battle!"
As he said that, he handed the letter paper in his hand to Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others.
"I just wanted to let them watch Tuli, as long as Tuli didn't rescue Jie Li, he would do it. Unexpectedly, Xue Wanche and Duan Zhixuan directly wiped out Tuli's troops, and captured Tuli's tens of thousands of Tuli's stakes and tens of thousands of Tuli's people, and rescued more than 15,000 Han people! As for cattle, sheep, horses, there were tens of thousands, and Tuli's wealth accumulated, there were countless!
With this wealth, the money spent on sending troops this time was earned back together."
"Congratulations to your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, since General Xue and others can defeat Tuli so easily, the Prince of Rencheng, General Li and others will definitely be able to annihilate Jie Li!"
After reading the letters sent by Xue Wanche and Duan Zhixuan, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others couldn't help but look surprised.
The achievements of the Changwu Dao Army led by Xue Wanche and Duan Zhixuan were never expected.
"A large army of 100,000 iron armor, plus the steel knives and steel guns made of fine steel, those Turkic barbarians can only be beaten. In addition, the clairvoyance and four-wheeled carriage provided by Xuanba, the Turkic barbarians can't even run away!"
As he said that, Li Shimin was even more excited. He could imagine in his mind that such five armies with excellent weapons and fast logistics could drive the Turkic barbarians into under the leadership of the most powerful generals in the Tang Dynasty.
Unfortunately, he did not commandeer himself.
Um?
Suddenly, Li Shimin's eyes lit up.
Seeing this, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others changed slightly, and they hurriedly looked at Li Shimin.
"Everyone, in this battle, I want the prince to supervise the country, and I want to lead the imperial army to personally fight!"
"Your Majesty, you are a saint of the Tang Dynasty. The peace of all people in the world depends on you alone. The battle of the Turks is extremely dangerous, so you must not take risks!"
Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others looked bitter and repeatedly dissuaded.
According to Li Shimin's character, they dare to guarantee that as long as this person goes to the front line, he will definitely come to the battlefield in person, and even take the big sword to kill the enemy.
"In such a great victory, Turkic soldiers were like collapse in the face of our Tang soldiers. There were also large army guards. Who could hurt me at all?"
Li Shimin said with anticipation.
However, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others still shook their heads with a firm look on their faces.
Seeing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh, knowing that it would be impossible for him to come to Dingxiang in person and watch Li Jing and others annihilate Jie Li and others.
Then, he began to talk about Xue Wanche's report in the letter.
"Everyone, Xue Wanche asked in the Xinbao that how should we resettle so many Turkic prisoners be captured and so many Han people have been rescued?"
"When you go back to your Majesty, I feel that Tuli can be escorted to Chang'an City, while the Han people carefully identified and organized into the rear army. After the war ended, they would return to their hometowns to settle down. There were also those captured Turkic soldiers and people who could be allowed to work as labor and lay cement roads and cement houses!"
After thinking for a while, Fang Xuanling hurriedly said, "I wonder what Your Majesty thinks about this?"
"Xuanling's method is a good method."
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin nodded slowly, then frowned slightly, "It's just that, those land as big as the Turks need to be abandoned."
"this?"
Suddenly, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others were stunned.
"Your Majesty, since Tuli has surrendered to our Tang Dynasty, the place where Tuli is located is my Tang Dynasty territory!"
"How should these land be managed?"
Li Shimin asked.
As for moving some people in the Tang Dynasty to the Turkic places, Li Shimin didn't even think about it.
Now, the Tang Dynasty itself is insufficient, and many fertile lands do not have enough people to farm. If he dares to propose it, not only do the people in the world oppose it, but even the ministers of aristocratic families will oppose it.
"Your Majesty, can you let those Turkic people continue to stay in the Turkic land and raise cattle for me, the Tang Dynasty?"
Changsun Wuji said.
"No, the Turkic people are all ambitions. Now they have finally eliminated them. If they put them back, it would be like letting the tiger return to the mountain!" Du Ruhui said hurriedly.
"However, it is even more impossible to move our people from the Tang Dynasty to the Turkic land!" Fang Xuanling said.
After hearing this, Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui and others were silent.
"Your Majesty, can you ask His Highness the King of Jin for this matter?"
Suddenly, Fang Xuanling thought of something and asked slowly.
"Um?"
Li Shimin was stunned and then thought.
"Okay, Xuanba can always come up with some unexpected ideas."
Immediately, Li Wei was asked to prepare a car.
The group of people headed towards Lijiazhuang.
...
Lijiazhuang, Jinwang Villa, living room.
Li Xuan sat on the sofa, his mouth grew bigger, and he looked confused.
"Did Tuli Khan surrender directly?"
"Your Majesty, the Turks are so weak now?"
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others couldn't help but be speechless.
"Xuanba, do you know that this time, my Tang soldiers were all wearing iron armor, and most of the Turkic soldiers were leather armor. With the assistance of Qianliyan, as long as my Tang soldiers raided into the Turkic army and could not perform their cavalry methods, those Turkic barbarians could only let my Tang soldiers slaughter it!"
As he said that, Li Shimin was full of pride.
The Turkic way of fighting was like a group of wolves, who liked to fight less and attack with as much as possible. If they couldn't beat them, they would run far away and wait for an opportunity to move.
This way of fighting is very annoying.
In the past, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty suffered a lot of great losses.
Now, with the Qianli Eye invented by Xuanba and the fast steelmaking technique, the Tang soldiers covered their entire body of iron armor, and the most powerful archery technique of Turkic soldiers was no longer threatened.
Coupled with the invention of the Clanlie and the four-wheeled carriage, the Turks could not attack or escape.
For the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, they can only be lambs to be slaughtered.
"Why did Your Majesty come to Lijiazhuang?"
Li Xuan asked.
"Xuanba, there are a lot of Turkic people captured. I'll ask, do you have any good ideas?" Li Shimin asked directly.
After hearing this, Li Xuan was stunned.
"How does Your Majesty want to deal with those Turks? If you want to have a peaceful border on the Tang Dynasty, just dig a big hole on the spot, let the Turks lie in it themselves, and then fill it with soil. More than 10,000 Han slaves should be very active in digging the hole."
Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others couldn't help but change their faces and shook their heads repeatedly.
"This method is too harmful to heaven and harmony, so it will definitely not work!"
At the same time, they smiled bitterly in their hearts. How could they forget this person? He is the most murderous person in the Tang Dynasty!
"Then Your Majesty can move those Turks to the Tang Dynasty, so that those Turks can learn to farm and make a living by farming!"
"This method is a good idea!"
Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others couldn't help but look happy.
Then, he slowly said: "But I am afraid that these Turkic barbarians will be accustomed to nomadic life and have no intention of farming. In the end, many troubles will occur in the Tang Dynasty!"
"If you can't kill or let go, then Your Majesty can use those Turkic people as slaves, for tooth and blood to return blood!" Li Xuan said again.
