I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 173 Youzhou’s success is reported to the world

"The total population of the Xueyantuo tribe is seven to eight hundred thousand. Even if we kill all their young men, there will still be six to seven hundred thousand. It seems difficult to transfer such a large population."

Su Dingfang said.

"Did you think Ben was going to move them all?"

Li Zheng sneered.

"What do you mean, General?"

Su Dingfang raised his head and looked at Li Zheng.

"Abandon the old, abandon the injured, and bring back all the women and young sons of their tribes."

"I will completely destroy their tribe."

"This is the price of betrayal."

Li Zheng said coldly.

After hearing this decision,

In the middle of his eyes, he understood instantly.

According to this calculation, there are tens of thousands less people to be relocated, and in this cold winter, the old, weak, sick and disabled are left behind, which is equivalent to death. Even if they can survive, they will not be able to save one out of ten.

Moreover, the old and the weak are left behind, and given time, the Xue Yantuo tribe will also be completely wiped out.

This method is indeed very cruel.

but.

None of the generals here had any objections, on the contrary, they were all very happy.

"The general is wise."

"Follow the general to the death."

All the generals said in unison, obeying Li Zheng's orders unconditionally.

This is today's bandit army, and Li Zheng's words are heaven's orders.

The next day.

It's not yet dawn.

The Dang Kou army repaired for most of the night.

After leaving behind wounded soldiers who could no longer fight, they continued their attack northward upon Li Zheng's order.

No matter how hard Ding Yu hurried, he still didn't catch up with Li Zheng, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"His Royal Highness King Wu."

"You saw it too, that's what happened."

"Every time we take over, we come."

"He didn't even see General Li in person, so he just led his troops and left."

Ding Yu turned his head helplessly and said to Li Ke.

"This guy."

"I'm really impatient."

"This imperial edict has been in my hands for more than ten days, and it has not yet been delivered to him."

Li Ke looked at the imperial edict in his hand with a look of helplessness on his face.

"His Royal Highness King Wu."

"Now the territory of Youzhou has been completely restored."

"The battle report has also been sent to Chang'an City."

"I wonder if the imperial court will have any next decision?"

"Will General Lee be asked to stop his advance?"

Ding Yu said respectfully.

"Will not."

Li Ke shook his head: "At least until the rebellion is completely eliminated, my father will not issue an order to stop the army."

"If rebellion cannot be eradicated, it will ultimately be a hidden danger to our Tang Dynasty. My father also needs to use the demise of the Xue Yantuo tribe to warn the world about the price of betraying the Tang Dynasty."

Li Ke still knew something about Li Shimin.

"Then what should we do next?"

Ding Yu asked.

Looking at the northern border, Ding Yu's eyes were also full of expectation.

"You are the guard of Youzhou Prefecture, but it is not your duty to guard Youzhou like Li Zheng, so you can just look envious."

Li Ke glanced at it and said with a smile.

"Hey, the general really wants to follow General Li to annihilate the enemy bandits."

Ding Yu sighed.

"Now we have recruited 30,000 new soldiers."

"Transfer them all to this city."

Li Ke suddenly said.

"There are currently 15,000 troops in the border city, which should be enough."

Ding Yu said.

"I think that guy Li Zheng will definitely cause something else, so I need to deploy more troops just in case."

Li Ke said with certainty.

"What happened?" Ding Yu looked puzzled.

……

Tang Dynasty, Yangzhou.

"Hahaha."

"This kid Li Zheng really didn't disappoint me, nor did he disappoint my father."

"Youzhou Mansion has been completely restored, and all the lost cities have been taken back."

Li Chengqian looked at the battle report in his hand and couldn't help laughing.

"General Li is worthy of being called the God of War of the Tang Dynasty."

Many officials around him replied one after another.

When the prince patrolled, he was naturally accompanied by many subordinate officials. When the battle report reached Chang'an City, it was also sent in two copies, one to the prince Li Chengqian and the other to Li Shimin.

Although he was on patrol, Li Chengqian still had to deal with many government affairs.

Li Chengqian had a smile on his face and was about to say something, but his expression suddenly changed, "Ahem, cough, cough..."

He coughed violently.

"His Royal Highness."

Many subordinate officials immediately surrounded him.

"It's okay, I just caught some cold."

Li Chengqian covered his mouth and waved his hand.

"All right."

"You continue to report."

"When this inspection matter is finished, I will return to Chang'an."

Li Chengqian said with a forced smile.

And far away in the back garden of Prince Wei's Mansion in Chang'an.

A middle-aged man wearing a blue Taoist uniform stared at the East Palace not far away: "The energy is exhausted, and the world of the Tang Dynasty will be rewritten."

……

Chang'an City.

Taiji Palace.

As it is.

Hundreds of officials stand in this hall, demonstrating the power of the Tang Empire.

Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon chair, had a smile on his face and wrote very excitedly.

This made the court hall, which was originally solemn and solemn and full of imperial pressure, feel like a spring breeze and not so oppressive.

Looking at Li Shimin sitting on the dragon throne with a smile on his face, it is really hard to imagine that he is an emperor who can decide the life and death of millions of people with one word. It is unbelievable that he who once bloodbathed the Xuanwu Gate and coldly won the throne also has a warm side.

"My dear friends."

"Li Zheng, you have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty again."

"He's such a good boy."

Li Shimin looked at the civil and military officials of the court with a smile on his face, expressing his joy.

His royal son is so great, how could he be unhappy as a father. All the military exploits that Li Zheng has gained outside now will become Li Zheng's qualifications in the future, his qualifications that will conquer hundreds of officials, and his qualifications that will conquer the world.

Li Zheng's name is enough to convince people all over the world.

Li Zheng will return to his position in the future.

The Imperial Family of the Tang Dynasty and the princes of the Tang Dynasty went to the battlefield just like the children of ordinary families, and repeatedly made military exploits without any falsehood.

This is the fundamental reason why the world is convinced.

"Father."

"Is the war in Youzhou already doomed?"

Wei King Li Tai stood up and asked curiously.

All the civil and military officials in the court looked at him with curiosity.

"Read it."

"Let all my dear friends know how the war is going in Youzhou."

Li Shimin handed the battle report on the table to Wang De, the eunuch next to him, with a smile on his face.

"My son, Li Ke, reports on the battle in Youzhou."

"A few days ago."

"General Li Zheng commanded 40,000 bandit troops to recapture all the cities that fell to the rebels one by one, and all villages and towns fell into the hands of the Tang Dynasty."

"Among them, more than 30,000 rebels were killed. The rebels are completely unable to compete with the Tang Dynasty."

"Now, the cities have been decided."

"In order to relieve our border troubles in Youzhou, General Li Zheng will continue to march, conquer the northern border, and completely wipe out the three rebellious tribes of Xueyantuo, in order to warn the world about the price of violating our Tang Dynasty's power."

"Other."

"Due to the disaster of the rebels, nearly a million people suffered. Gold and silver were robbed by the rebels, and grain and grass were robbed by the rebels. Please ask my father to allocate grain and grass to sustain the suffering of the people in Youzhou Prefecture."

"My son Li Ke pays my respects."
