bastard seizes tang

Chapter 906
To be honest, for Li Ke in the past, the reason why he valued Lu Dongzan was not because he needed Lu Dongzan's talent so much. After all, there were many famous officials in the Tang Dynasty. Not less.

For Li Ke, the most important part of receiving Lu Dongzan was his significance to Tubo. If he could get Lu Dongzan, then Tubo would lose Lu Dongzan, and it would be much easier for him to attack Tubo.

But now, the main force of Tubo has been broken, and Luoxie City has become an isolated city. The current Ludongzan is not so important to Li Ke. Not to mention how much I care.

It's just that Li Ke had promised Qinling to protect Lu Dongzan's life before. On the premise that it would not affect the overall situation of the Western Expedition, Li Ke would do what he said and would never break his promise.

Qinling still has an important role and significance for Li Ke. Li Ke will not have a quarrel with Qinling because of Lu Dongzan's life and death, so even if Lu Dongzan was knocked out, rather than really intending to surrender to Tang, Li Ke will never pursue it.

After all, Lu Dongzan, who is half a hundred years old, is really nothing compared to the young Qin Ling, and Li Ke still has this bit of tolerance.

So after Qinling brought Lu Dongzan back, Li Ke decreed to pardon Lu Dongzan's fault, and handed it over to Qin Ling to take it down for settlement. Too much energy was put on Lu Dongzan.

Yesterday's battle lasted from noon to night, and it was almost midnight after all the Tubo troops were surrendered. After midnight, it was getting late. Li Ke took a rest after running around for a day, and Su Dingfang arranged for people to deal with the aftermath here.

In the morning of the next day, Nong Google Valley, Tang Army Camp.

Although he went to bed late last night, Li Ke got up very early, and with Li Ke, after washing up, Xi Junmai sent a message, and Su Ding asked to see him.

Su Dingfang's request to see him must be for the end of yesterday's World War I, and Li Ke immediately passed it on.

"The last general pays homage to His Majesty." Su Dingfang entered the account and bowed to Li Ke.

Li Ke looked at Su Dingfang and asked, "Yesterday I ordered you to take stock of the battle situation. How are you doing?"

"This is the list of casualties and seizures in the First World War yesterday. Please check it out, Your Majesty." Su Dingfang said to Li Ke, holding a booklet in his hand.

Hearing this, Li Ke took the booklet from Su Dingfang and only glanced at it a few times. Although he was somewhat prepared, he couldn't help but feel a little pain in his heart after reading these numbers.

Li Ke frowned and asked, "There were [-] wounded, and more than [-] died in the battle. Our army suffered so many casualties in the battle yesterday."

In yesterday's battle, although the Tang army attacked the Tubo army on both sides and took the lead, the Tubo army had 20 troops after all, and the 20 army was not made of mud. The entire army was wiped out, but the Tang army also paid a huge price with a total of [-] casualties.

The 6 people are all Tang Erlang who followed Li Ke to the west, how could Li Ke not feel distressed.

Su Dingfang leaned over and pleaded guilty: "The casualties in this battle are the most in all battles since our Tang Dynasty entered Longshuo. The last general is the chief general of the three armies. He should be responsible for this. Such casualties in this battle are the fault of the last general."

Seeing this, Li Ke hurriedly helped Su Dingfang up, saying: "What is the crime of Dingfang? When the two armies fought, there were no casualties. I just mentioned it casually."

Since Li Ke chose this quick method to fight the Tubo army in the field, Li Ke himself was psychologically prepared for the loss of this battle.

The number of [-] injured and [-] dead is indeed the most in all battles since Long Shuo years, but the results and significance of this battle are also the most in all battles. Such sacrifices and gains are definitely in Li Ke's mind. within range.

However, although Li Ke can still accept this result, Li Ke is also very clear that behind the number of more than 2 casualties, many families are being broken, and Li Ke still has to do a good job in the aftermath.

After Li Ke helped Su Dingfang up, he paused, and said: "The soldiers who died in battle yesterday are all my sons and daughters, no matter what, you can't let them bury their bones on the plateau, you need to send someone special to collect their bones and bury them in their hometown. "

Su Dingfang responded immediately: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this matter has already been sent to the end."

Li Ke then asked: "Do you have any arrangements for the pension for the widows of the soldiers who died in battle?"

Su Dingfang said: "The last general has ordered the roster of people to be counted. All soldiers who died in battle will be compensated according to the old regulations, and there will be no shortage. They will be sent home immediately after the class teacher."

Li Ke thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "That's not enough. This battle is of extraordinary significance to our Tang Dynasty, and the matter of pensions should not follow the routine."

Su Dingfang asked puzzledly: "Then what does His Majesty mean?"

Li Ke replied immediately: "In this battle, they died for me. The pensions of all soldiers who died in this battle will be increased by [-]%. In addition, the children of soldiers who died in this battle can go to the county school to study."

After listening to Li Ke's words, Su Dingfang said: "This is probably a considerable expense, and I'm afraid I need to ask His Majesty for a special order, otherwise the provincial government may not be able to approve it."

The Tang Dynasty emphasized martial arts, and there were good pensions for the soldiers who died in battle, and since Li Ke came to the throne, the specifications of the pensions were once raised.More than [-] people died in this battle, which is not a small expense. If Li Ke increases the pension, it will be even more pressure on the court's finances. Naturally, Li Ke's special order is needed.

However, Li Ke heard the words, but said: "The extra pensions don't have to go to the provincial government, but directly come out of my internal treasury. These are what I should do."

The pensions for the soldiers who died in battle are definitely not a small number, especially when the Tang Dynasty made such a big commotion and Li Ke personally conquered Tubo, so Li Ke never thought about imposing this burden on the court. Instead, it is borne by its own internal library.

Li Ke's internal treasury is full, and the money in his internal treasury not only comes from the transfer of the treasury, but also from the Southeast Commercial Bank. The accumulation of the commercial bank for several years also gave Li Ke the confidence to say so.

"No, Your Majesty's kindness, I will thank the officers and soldiers at the end. With what Your Majesty has done today, our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will break through the borders, and we will be able to take control of Tubo." Su Dingfang got the order and bowed down.

Su Dingfang's obeisance is sincere sincerity. Li Ke increased the compensation for the soldiers who died in battle. It is also a lot of relief and promise.

This battle is over, if they are still alive, they will return home with victory and the emperor's reward, but even if they die in battle, they will still be able to keep their wives, children, and food and clothing.

In this way, it is only a matter of time before the general will not be greedy for life, the soldiers will not be afraid of death, break through the logic point, and put the Tang Dynasty's king's flag on the top of the Potala Palace.
