Songzhou City.

It has been ten days since the Tang army entered the city, and the people who fled during the war have also returned to the city one after another.

The city was devastated, littered with ruins, charred beams, blown out earthen walls, and orphans weeping helplessly in the ruins of their former homes.

100,000 Tubo troops were placed in the barracks outside the city, closely guarded by the Tang army, since ancient times there is an ominous saying of killing and surrendering, Hou Junji and other three chief managers did not open the killing ring, at the beginning of the Tubo slaughter of the Tang people, the Tang army will return it tenfold, a total of more than 50,000 Tubo soldiers were killed when conquering Songzhou, this oath has been done, as for the fate of those Tubo soldiers who surrendered, can only wait for the emperor's majesty Xià's holy ruling.

After recovering Songzhou, there were many trivial matters, such as relocating the people, repairing the city wall, helping the people rebuild their houses, and the security in the city also needed the power of the government to maintain.

It stands to reason that Li Su, the recorder who joined the army, should be busier than the three chief governors, because he is a civilian official, there are not many Chinese officers in the army, once the war is over, the aftermath is generally led by civilian officials, but unfortunately Li Su does not know anything about how to deal with government affairs, besides, a lazy person like him, even if he knows how to deal with government affairs, he will definitely find a way to be lazy and slippery, Niu Jinda seems to be very familiar with Li Su's nature, so he simply arranged him to do anything, and nodded every day to say hello, and then Niu Jinda hurried into the city to be busy, as for Li Su... … Well, as long as you are responsible and live well.

This feeling is a bit complicated, and Li Su occasionally has a sense of humiliation of being treated as waste by others. But when he was leisurely, he quickly put this humiliation behind him, and ran around the camp every day with joy, or asked the Chinese army man to make a bowl of bland porridge and serve it to Wang Zhuan, who was recuperating from his wounds. But he held the roasted game that Niu Jinda's personal guard quietly stuffed for him, and gnawed on the corners of his mouth in front of Wang Zhuan.

In fact, Li Su doesn't like to eat barbecue at all, but seeing Wang Zhuan's greedy throat but can only drink porridge honestly, Li Su feels very superior, and after eating wild meat, his mouth is so greasy that he is disgusting, and he always feels that he has done a stupid thing that harms others and is not beneficial to himself, but he is also idle. So the next day, Li Su continued to gnaw in front of Wang Zhu, and met Wang Zhuan's envious gaze all the time. Stuff the last piece of meat into your mouth.

It is this kind of spiritual enjoyment that is pursued.

Every day, I went to the barracks of the two brothers of the Wang family, and the days were not boring, and occasionally some young people from the same village came to visit, and seven or eight of us went to find an open space outside the camp. Li Su provided game, they were responsible for collecting firewood, and everyone had a barbecue party, if it was discovered by the generals who picketed military discipline, everyone hung their heads familiarly, and Li Su put on a posture of teaching everyone a lesson, and by the way told the generals that he found out about this matter first, and was criticizing and educating the soldiers who had made mistakes. After the picket generals left, everyone should eat and drink.

Record the story of joining the army. This is the kind of thing that is done, and the official position cannot be sealed in vain, but must always come in handy.

After several times, the picket general couldn't help but wonder why every time he caught this group of murderers who had violated military discipline, this Chinese army reporter always found out before him. And when I taught those killers, I didn't even wipe the oil stains on the corners of my mouth......

Niu Jinda also has a time when he is not busy, and returns to the camp every night. He sat in the tent, looking at the map by the dim oil lamp, and it was half the night.

Finally one day, he called Li Su into the tent and pointed to the sheepskin map, looking very worried.

"It's not enough to recover Songzhou, this revenge is not neat enough, Datang has only recovered the capital, and has not yet calculated the profit with the Tubo thieves, so we must continue to move westward and enter the territory of Tubo!" Niu Jinda's eyes burst into murderous intent, and he slammed his fist on the map.

"The general manager Wen Cheng is martial arts, invincible, invincible, my Tang Dynasty soldiers are mighty!" Li Su hurriedly sent it with a sycophant.

Niu Jinda is a very pragmatic person, he didn't eat Li Su's set, raised his hand and pointed at him and said angrily: "If you play this kind of trick again, believe it or not, Ben Shuai tied you to the flagpole and exposed to the sun for three days?" ”

Li Su said helplessly: "The lower officials don't know what to say, the geographical danger of Tubo is ...... that the lower officials have told the chief manager before."

Niu Jinda stared at him: "You don't approve of going west to Tibet?" ”

Li Su scratched his head: "I can't say I don't approve of it, it depends on my Tang Army's hatred of Tubo, how much price is willing to pay for this hatred, Tubo is sparsely populated, except for cattle, sheep and barley, there is nothing valuable, if you capture the land and incorporate it into my Tang territory, it may be a good thing on the surface, but since it is included in the territory, it will need to be operated year after year, in order to capture this land, we have to relocate, to open up wasteland, to build a capital to protect the house, the imperial court has to allocate a huge amount of money every year to develop local agriculture and animal husbandry, and what is more troublesome is that Tubo will not be willing to be robbed of our country, and will definitely recapture it at a cost, and then the Tang Dynasty and Tubo will gradually become mortal enemies, and I don't know how many lives of the Tang Dynasty soldiers have to be filled in every year to keep the border peaceful......"

After a pause, Li Su looked up at Niu Jinda and said with a smile: "If this battle has nothing to do with interests, just to take revenge, it's actually very simple, aren't there 100,000 Tubo troops outside our city?" All of them were cut with one knife, counting the 50,000 Tubo people killed in the first battle to recover Songzhou, a total of 150,000 Tubo died, thousands of people of the Tang Dynasty were slaughtered, and Songtsan Gampo paid dozens of times the price, I think in the next five years, Tubo will no longer have the power to invade my Tang territory. ”

Niu Jinda nodded: "You have a point, if it is purely just for revenge, it is enough to kill 100,000 Tubo troops......"

Without warning, Niu Jinda kicked Li Su's buttocks.

"Little bastard, do you want to kill me? If you dare to mention this to others in the future, I will not do it, and see if others will not cut you alive! At a young age, where did you learn the evil mind? ”

Li Su said helplessly: "The lower official is only responsible for the construction of the yì, any possibility to achieve the goal must be raised, this is the responsibility of the lower official, as for whether to adopt it or not, it is your business......

Niu Jinda sneered, revealing an extremely mocking expression: "Bullshit duty, a petty official from the end of the eighth grade, invites three drinks and four meals of game every day for nothing, and now he is on the duty of the handsome, believe it or not, I will smoke you to death?" ”

Li Su despaired of this unreasonable world, not only unreasonable, but also personally attacked......
