People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 1261 A trivial matter like massacre of a city
Under the black paper, Li Xuan looked at the note in his hand, and with everyone's disbelief in their eyes, he tore it into two halves, and then threw it into the wind, letting it fly freely.

"Tell Zan Xiruo that I will not allow his request." Li Xuan's calm voice echoed throughout the silent world.

The guard on the other side of the city wall took a deep look at Li Xuan, then turned around and ran back to his own formation quickly.

Before he could speak, Zan Xiruo raised his hand to stop him.

Then Zan Xiruo said with a cold face: "If the King of Nanchang doesn't allow it, then I will have to send those 10,000 Tang captives to the underworld. If something happens to Qinling, I will kill all the people in Tubo territory." Tang people.”

The guard handed over his hands, turned around again, and in an instant he had rushed to the front of the Nagqu River, shouting loudly to Li Xuan at the top of the city: "If the king doesn't allow it, then Tubo will bury the prime minister with all the Tang people in the territory."

At the critical moment, the Tubo people still did not change their tune.

Lun Qinling was still called Prime Minister, but no one cared about his mistake, so what really mattered was that Tubo threatened Li Xuan by killing all the Tang people in the territory.

Everyone on the city wall was staring at the guard below, wishing they could pounce on him right now and tear him alive.

Li Xuan smiled calmly and said: "The total number of Tang people in Tubo will not exceed one hundred thousand, but in Tubo, the population of Tubo itself has exceeded three million... I don't mind using three hundred Thousands of people are buried with a hundred thousand people, just to see when the king’s killing knife becomes dull.”

Threat, who can't threaten anymore.

If Zan Xi used the ordinary people of the Tang Dynasty who fell into the hands of Tubo as a threat, Li Xuan would use all the people of Tubo to counter the threat.

Li Xuan is actually the most willing to do something as small as massacre of the city.

When the emperor asked him what he did after he invaded Tubo, Li Xuan answered directly: Follow the story of Huo Qubing.

The story of Xiaohuo Qubing told here is about killing without restraint.

Threaten, kill, massacre the city.

Li Xuan sneered softly. He had countless ways to make all the people in the city die silently.

For this kind of thing, it would be better for Zan Xiruo not to challenge his bottom line.

Li Xuan's half-smiling look and extremely cold eyes shocked Zan Xiruo's personal guards.

The next moment, the guards quickly turned around and headed towards the rear. All the soldiers of the Tang Army up and down the city wall felt a sense of relief at this time.

Li Xuan looked behind her, but no one came forward to persuade her.

Li Xuan smiled. Today, more Confucian students still respect Xunzi's teachings. Many of Xunzi's theories and thoughts are absorbed from the Gongyang School.

If Li Xuan really burned down the entire city with a fire without any reason, then all the civil servants in the court would definitely impeach him.

But if the Tubo general led his army to escape into the city, then during the siege, Li Xuan would use fire to attack.

The fireball caught fire, coupled with the fierce wind, and the entire city was destroyed in one fell swoop, it was none of Li Xuan's business.

There were also earthquakes. Sudden earthquakes caused people to panic, and countless people were killed and injured in the natural stampede, but they had nothing to do with Li Xuan.

It's nothing more than means, massacre has never been a problem.

Zan Xiruo's personal guard came on horseback again, came to Li Xuan, cupped his hands and said: "I don't know how to let us see the Prime Minister. Even the Tang Dynasty has a system of redemption."

"Redemption will happen after the war, not now." Li Xuan said coldly, but then he said: "If you want Lun Qinling to go back now, I have a condition."

For a moment, countless people in and out of the city looked at Li Xuan in surprise, but some were surprised and some were pleasantly surprised.

Li Xuan leaned forward slightly, looked at Zan Xiruo's personal guard at the bottom of the city, and said, "Tell Zan Xiruo that if he can send all Tubo Zanpu and the Tubo Queen Mother to Nagqu, then I will return Lunqin Mausoleum." give him……"

Li Xuan's voice paused slightly, and suddenly many people in the city couldn't help laughing.

If Zanxi sends Tubo Zanpu Chidu Songtsan and the Queen Mother to Naqu, it will be equivalent to letting the entire Gar family directly betray Tubo and surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

So what's the point of this scene now?

Li Xuan raised her head, looked into the distance, looked at the lion and elephant flag, and said softly: "Tell Zan Xiruo, if he can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and submit to the Tang Dynasty, let alone return the Lunqin Mausoleum to him, then he will be granted the title of Marquis Worshiping the prime minister, his merits are in Jiuzhou, and the family inheritance, it is not unknown that he will be buried with Zhaoling in the future... Maybe, I will also transport Songtsan back to the Tang Dynasty to be buried with Zhaoling. After all, he is our Tang Dynasty. son in law."

Li Xuan waved directly with her right hand.

The guards at the bottom of the city immediately turned around with livid faces and rode quickly towards Zan Xiruo.

The five fingers of Li Xuan's right hand danced lightly on his knees, and his eyes were fixed on the lion and elephant flag below, and he looked at Zan Xiruo's personal guard who was running towards the lion and elephant flag.

Just when Zan Xiruo's personal guards came to Zan Xiruo to say something, Li Xuan suddenly raised his hand and said directly: "Nian!"

"Here!" Zhou Qian on one side immediately handed over his hand.

From behind, a Qianniu guard came forward directly with a copper trumpet in his hand, and Zhou Qian also shouted at this time: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty's Message to Tubo: Since ancient times, emperors have ruled the world, and they have always been in China to control the barbarians and the barbarians. , Yi Di lived outside to serve China.

Within the four seas, there is no surrender. This is not a matter of human power, it is really a gift from heaven.

Tubo... is a surly country, with little benevolence and unrighteousness, cunning and aggressive, stingy and licentious; it is rich in rituals and fake, cunning and rampant.

...Stubborn, taking advantage of provocations to cause harm; ungrateful, incorruptible and shameless... With a thunderous blow, Tubo was defeated. When a young man is raised, his ministers will kill the king, his younger brother will kill his brother, his younger brother will take his brother's wife, and his son will marry his father and his concubines, and they will learn from each other, and it will not be strange to be peaceful..."

Zhou Qian’s voice was clear and resonant, and all he spoke was in Tubo dialect.

The Tubo soldiers in the surrounding areas clearly heard Zhou Qian scolding their ancestor Songtsen Gampo, all the way to Mansong Mangtsen, Tridu Songtsan, and even themselves, and they couldn't help but clenched their fists one by one.

The soldiers in the city couldn't help but chuckle. They had heard this "Essay on Tubo" countless times.

Every time, Li Xuan made people scold him over and over again to cheer up his own morale. At the same time, he also scolded the Tibetan people harshly to shake the Tibetan people's hearts.

Especially when the Tubo people lost on the battlefield, they scolded them heartily.

The scolding continued, and the Tubo soldiers around him couldn't help but blush and breathe heavily.

"...The descendants fell into ruins and lost the way of monarchs and ministers; the prime minister monopolized power, the Xiantai complained, and the officials were cruel and cruel, so people's hearts turned against them.

When the heavenly soldiers come together, the army will immediately fall apart.

Although it was caused by human affairs, God was disgusted with his virtues and abandoned him.

Heaven was disgusted with his virtues and abandoned him, so the heavens punished him. With a powerful blow, the song broke through Shannan.

Jumping forward, all the emotions were destroyed in an instant.

The deceased's liver and brain were bruised, and the flesh and blood of the living were not preserved. "

Among the Tubo people, many people had fallen silent, and even had confusion in their eyes.

Naqu has been destroyed in Shannan. Is it possible that Luosu will be destroyed in an instant in the future? Is Tubo really to the point where heaven is disgusted and abandoned by heaven.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, many people became completely silent for a while, and those words began to echo in their ears.

"Heaven is disgusted with his virtue and abandons him, so the sky sends punishment."

The sky will punish you, the sky will punish you, the sky will punish you.

……

Zhou Qian's voice continued: "Today, I respectfully accept the mandate of Heaven... to save the people from misery, be magnanimous, accept surrender and make peace, and do not slander.

Tubo subjects... those who knew etiquette and righteousness and were willing to be subjects were no different from the people of the Tang Dynasty.

If you can surrender and surrender sincerely, then the communication will be as good as before and the support will still be there.

If you resist stubbornly and become a bandit for me, then the sky will be clear and the sky will be clear, and everything will be wiped out. "

Standing under the banner of the lion elephant, Zan Xiruo calmly listened to Zhou Qian reciting the entire "Essentials of the Emperor to Tubo" in Tubo language.

He could even clearly hear that many things in it had been modified, but the cursing, killing, and provocation were still there.

I don’t know how many things like this are written in a piece of propaganda.

He listened quietly, and the voice from behind continued: "... If you die, your country will be destroyed, but you will smile for the world.

Like the law. "

In the last sentence, all the soldiers on the city wall shouted at the same time: "Just like the law."

The sound kept echoing in the air.

……

Zan Xiruo whispered to himself: "Heaven has abandoned him, and heaven has punished him. His liver and brain will be wiped out, his bones and flesh will not be saved, he will resist stubbornly, and his body will die and his country will be destroyed."

The surrounding generals lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes. The current message reflected some reality.

Tanggula Mountain was penetrated, Nagqu was conquered, Qinling was defeated, and a hundred thousand troops died or collapsed. If they said they were not anxious, it would be nonsense, but if they really had the thought of worrying about the country and the people , actually not much.

Just like what is written in this slogan, "I hope that I can surrender, and sincerely surrender, then the communication will be as good as before, and the support will still be there."

The Tang Dynasty was originally the suzerainty of Tubo. If his son disobeyed, he could just be beaten. Do we really want to beat him to death completely?
In fact, these Tubo nobles still firmly believe that as long as they have soldiers and food in their hands, they can have both sides of Tubo and the Tang Dynasty.

You must know that they are not the first batch of elites under Lun Qinling. They have more guards from local places, and more of them are cannon fodder on the battlefield.

The ones who really play a role on the battlefield are the elites of the Gar tribe in Zan Xiruo's hands.

These people have just transferred five thousand to Cuona Lake. Now there are only ten thousand elites left here. Attack the city?

Perhaps it is true, as the slogan says, that God was disgusted with his virtues and abandoned them, so the heavens punished him.

Of course, it is impossible to make them surrender just by saying a statement. The most they can do is to leave when the situation is unfavorable, or give up decisively when it is difficult to resist.

The real problem was never with them, but with Zan Shiruo and Zan Pu.

Lun Qinling fell into the hands of the Tang Dynasty, but Datang wanted to send Zan Xiruo to Zanpu before letting Lun Qinling come back.

What would Zan Xiruo think, what would Zan Pu think?
Many people's eyes couldn't help but look at Zan Xiruo.

Zan Xiruo sneered lightly, looked at Li Xuan under the black banner at the top of the city, and said disdainfully: "Does he really regard this city as an indestructible place? He is naive."

The surrounding generals were suddenly in awe, and it was not easy to talk about the Qinling family.

For many years, they have been at war with Datang. In fact, they have not lost many times. They just met Li Xuan...

"Send the order, the army will retreat thirty miles. Tomorrow, we will come back to see the King of Nanchang." Zan Xiruo gave the order decisively.

The other generals all raised their hands at the same time: "Yes!"

……

Seeing the Tibetan army slowly retreating, the people on the top of the city looked at Li Xuan in disbelief. Li Xuan looked calm and said nothing.

"He should retreat." Wang Dezhen began on the side. Wang Dezhen was quite approving of Zan Xiruo's retreat.

"No, he shouldn't have retreated." Xiao Siye turned to Wang Dezhen and said, "He had no intention of attacking the city in the first place, so he just had to continue the stalemate. Now that they are doing this, it will make the Tubo royal family suspicious. "

"It's not just suspicion. People from the Tubo royal family are very likely to take action." Li Xuan shook his head gently and said in a low voice: "It's okay for now, but if he loses again, he will be dead."

The generals on the city looked at Li Xuan with some disbelief: "Is he dead just like that?"

"The heroine is very suspicious of the country, and it will be magnified a hundred times. Therefore, in the future, he will either die in our hands, or he will die in the hands of the Queen Mother of Tubo."

　On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the God of Wealth arrives.

　　May all my friends, in the new year, may the God of Wealth, Yue Lao, come home together, and may prosperity and peace come from all directions.

　　happy New Year!
