Chapter 555

Looking at the rows of Tubo people who were tied up, Yun Hao was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth. People on the plateau will have a lot of strength when they reach the plains because of the air pressure. Now that Datang is engaged in engineering, it is only fitting for these people to work as coolies and do some dangerous work.

It's all money!

The so-called cannon sounded 10,000 taels of gold, don't look at the beautiful fight in this battle. It's all money that can be thrown out! Those Tibetans were not so much burned and blown to death as they were stoned to death by silver.

A 500-pound heavy fire oil bomb costs 800 silver coins, and a 300-pound gunpowder bomb costs 500 silver coins. After this battle, although it is said that there were not a few deaths. Yun Hao, who can throw money away, is pumping in his heart, and now he can take it back a little bit.

According to the calculation of five silver coins per person, how can the 20,000 or so people in front of him recover 100,000 silver coins. Damn, the Tubo people are his mother's worthless. If you change to a Goryeo who can read and write, or a Silla Baekje, the price can be raised.

The flames gradually extinguished, and Su Dingfang led his people to continue to pursue the Tubo people. The airships in the sky also joined the chase after reloading.

In the current situation, one can be killed and one is missing. The 80,000 Tibetan army, which was majestic yesterday, has now become a lost dog with less than 30,000. As for being caught up by Su Dingfang on the road, I don't know how much he will be killed. Su Dingfang has been eager to be a marquis all these years, and he will never let go of any head.

The battlefield here has not been cleaned yet, and the airship that announces the good news over there has already hit the road. This battle consumes a lot of money, and there is no achievement, so it is not good to ask Li Er for something.

Li Er flipped through the day and rubbed his temples. An emperor who is now dealing with official documents every day, which makes Li Er very depressed. Walked out of the Taiji Hall and looked in the direction of the west. I really envy that guy, he can take the army all the way to the edge of the sky.

The latest battle report says that he is fighting the Tibetans. Knowing that Yun Hao would definitely win, the Tubo people, who had the advantage of the plateau, rushed down the plateau, which in itself was the way to death.

It is himself who really wants to lead the army to fight with the Tubo people, and it has always been Li Er's dream to cross the battlefield with a prancing horse and a sword. How many times in a dream, Jin Ge Iron Horse. When I woke up, I could only see naked beauties.

That's what women do! For the singles, women are what they dream of. But for Li Er, women are things at their fingertips. In fact, there are countless women lining up all day long waiting for him to be toyed with. If you can be toyed with by him for a night, you will become very excited.

In this world, power and money are the best aphrodisiacs. It always has been!

In the distance, there is an airship landing on the dragon's head plain, and the airship is a big red one. This means that it comes from the battlefield to the west, since the Red Feather Rush has lost its meaning. This kind of big red airship replaces the Red Feather Urgency.

Now, the Red Feather is eager to exist between the airship landing fields and the palace. More far, it only exists in Chang'an City.

"It must be news from that guy, I really envy him!" Li Er let out a long sigh, it must be another great victory. As long as Yun Hao led the troops, Li Er was already accustomed to listening to good news.

Sure enough, the sound of cheers sounded again in Chang'an City in the evening. The sound of this cheer was like the waves of the sea, stretching from the airship landing field to the front of the Taiji Palace. When the forbidden army guarding the palace began to cheer, Li Er knew that Yun Hao, this kid, had won the fucking battle again.

Hongling hurriedly walked in front of Li Er, and Li Zhi reached out to take the cowhide letter bucket. After inspecting the fire paint, he opened the letter barrel and held the piece inside to Li Er with both hands. After Yan Zhitui died, Li Zhi has been by Li Er's side, playing the role of secretary. So far, this little guy is doing a pretty good job.

Then after the setting sun, Li Er unfolded the envelope. Sure enough, it was a good news. It's just that when he saw the number of enemies annihilated, Li Er's nose was almost crooked.

"Beheaded 200,000 Tibetan troops and captured 20,000 prisoners. Chang'an ...... will be deported soon! "Li Er was!

Songtsen Gampo, who has been repeatedly attacked by the Tang Dynasty, has a fucking army of 200,000, and it is already the limit to be able to make up 100,000 people. On the plateau with extremely harsh natural conditions, there is only a fucking population. This kid actually came out with 200,000 mouths, I really don't know how to count!

Hearing the good news, a group of courtiers rushed to the emperor to congratulate the emperor, this kind of good time to say auspicious words, must participate. No matter what the emperor's mood is on weekdays, he must be in a good mood today. After winning the battle, who will be in a bad mood?

Li Er patiently listened to the flattering, and he didn't have the slightest good mood today. It's not because of Yun Hao's exaggerated military exploits, but because of his growing dislike for Chang'an City.

Endless listening to politics, endless government affairs. The days like flowing water are sharpening Li Er's fiery heart.

He really wanted to be a commander and fight on the battlefield in the midst of thousands of troops. Every time he recalls the days before the Tiger Prison, as soon as he thinks of the hundred cavalry rushing into battle back then, Li Er feels that the blood in his body is burning.

The longer you have been an emperor, the more you want to be a general. may be because he knew that this was impossible, so Li Er's wish became more and more intense. This kind of resentment seems to exist in the soul, burning Li Er's consciousness all the time.

The people who are surrounded by the city want to escape, and the people outside the city want to rush in, whether it is marriage, career, or life. I remembered what Yun Hao always said in my mind for no reason, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that he was right.

When I was a general, I wanted to be an emperor, and now I want to be an emperor and a general.

Yun Hao, that guy, has completely changed the situation of the war. There is no longer a scene of swords and guns being raised at the same time, and the yellow sand is stained with blood. There were only orange flames, and the sound of roaring explosions. A general who can be called an enemy of 10,000 people will be torn to shreds by countless shrapnel. And that bomb was probably fired by just a childish minion.

Li Erdo sat on the dragon chair and smiled and retreated from the courtiers.

The cunning eldest grandson Wuji had long seen that the emperor was uneasy, and fled after singing some praises.

People who can mix in the court are not stupid, and when they saw that the eldest grandson Wuji slipped fast, they also slipped away quickly. In the end, only Li Er's three sons were left in the huge Taiji Palace.

They wanted to go, too, but they couldn't. Because Li Er wants them to stay!

"Look at it all! You're all too old, and you're all talking about what kind of charter you should adhere to. Li Er was in a trance for a while, and then regained his clarity. The melancholy can only last for a short time, and the emperor doesn't need that kind of boring mood.

Yun Hao's good news was handed to Li Ke by Zhao Jiang, and he immediately read it and handed it to Li Tai. The last is Li Zhi, who is naturally the smallest.

When Li Zhi got the good news, two pairs of cold eyes looked at Li Zhi in unison. From this moment on, there was one more contender for the throne. Although among the three forces, Li Zhi is the weakest. But, now he's involved. This teenager, who is only thirteen years old, is no longer their younger brother from this moment on, but a competitor. You mortal competitor!

"Let's talk about it! What kind of reward will be given to Duke Chu, or what do you think of this big victory? Li Er squinted at his sons, what the future emperor of the Li family needed was someone to capture the dragon and shoot the tiger. Before capturing the dragon and shooting the tiger, at least you must be able to fight your brother.

Li Er was the best of them, and his two most powerful brothers were killed by him. Even his sons were killed together, and none of them were left behind. Since the inheritance of the throne has been full of blood from the beginning, let's go bloody. At least, this can ensure that the Li family has a strong enough person to be the emperor. Raising Gu is sometimes also suitable for raising the emperor.

The three sons did not speak, and whoever spoke first at this time would suffer.

"Li Ke, you are the oldest, you say it first!" Li Er waited for a while, and when he saw that no one spoke, he had to name him.

"Back to my father's words! The Duke of Chu broke the strong enemy in the border fortress and raised the prestige of the country in a foreign land, which is really a grand event of my Tang Dynasty. Erchen believes that he should be rewarded by decree. Li Ke obviously didn't guess Li Er's thoughts, and it was most appropriate to speak official words at this time. The characteristic of the official dialect is that although it is nonsense, it does not make mistakes! Based on this attribute, speaking official clichés has become a basic skill for those who mix with officialdom.

"Oh! Praise! Li Tai, after your third brother finishes speaking, you can also talk about it. Li Er was noncommittal and began to ask Li Tai.

"Father! Yun Hao's good news said that the battle beheaded 200,000 enemies! But Tubo was hit by my Tang Dynasty, where did the 200,000 people in armor come from? To put it mildly, it is an open secret that the army lied about its military exploits. But Chu Gong is too mysterious this time! Li Tai sneered and talked eloquently, peeking at Li Er's expression. Seeing that Li Er was attentive when he listened, he immediately continued.

Erchen felt that this victory was certain. But the number of enemy annihilations is definitely not so much. The father can issue a decree to reprimand, and Yun Hao will have to fight against the big cannibal in the future. If you lie about your military exploits again and again, a tide will form in the army. I'm afraid it will be more difficult to ban it at that time. Now, it is a good opportunity for my father to make an example of the monkey.

If the Duke of Chu resigns as the commander of the Western Expedition because of this, Erchen is willing to go to the Western Regions. Wear armor and fight on the battlefield for your father! Li Tai still remembered the position of the coach of the Western Expedition, although he listened to Chai Shao's advice that day. But after going back to discuss with Cen Wenwen, he still felt that the Western Expeditionary Army was very important. Moreover, looking at Li Er's body, there will be no problems in a short period of time.

Now that he has such an opportunity, how can he not give Yun Hao a bad medicine.

"Oh, decree reprimand! Tell me, pheasant slave, should I be rewarded? Or should it be reprimanded? After listening to Li Tai, Li Er asked his youngest son Li Zhi with interest.

"Back to my father's words! The fourth brother said that there have always been exaggerated military exploits in the army, and the fundamental reason is that the generals want to obtain greater meritorious deeds. As far as Duke Chu is concerned, he is already a supreme minister and has no way to advance. There is no king with a different surname in the Tang Dynasty, and it is estimated that the Duke of Chu will not think about being a king with a different surname.

So what is he exaggerating military exploits for? Erchen thought that it was for his soldiers, and my Tang Dynasty had attacked the government military system since the Wude period. If the soldiers wanted to get the land reward, they would do it all by virtue of their military merits.

The Duke of Chu led the troops to fight, and what he did was to make a living licking blood from the knife edge. The father is also an invincible commander, and he does not seek some benefits for the soldiers. Who is willing to serve the boss to the death? If the decree is reprimanded at this time, the army's morale will definitely be unstable. The Duke of Chu is thousands of miles away from the extreme west, and once the army is unstable, it will collapse without a fight. Erchen felt that his father should issue an edict to praise meritorious soldiers. ”

"Oh, you agree with your third brother's opinion, don't agree with your fourth brother's opinion!" Li Er was obviously interested in Li Zhi's answer.

Erchen also agreed with the fourth brother's opinion, as Erchen said before. Meritorious service in the army is all based on military merit, and if this kind of thing is allowed to get worse. Other military schools will also follow suit, and the Tang military system will be greatly corrupted. Hearing Li Zhi say this, Li Tai's face was a little better.

"Huh! Pheasant slave, you are old-fashioned, and you have been told what you have said on both sides. What are you going to do with this? ”

"Back to my father's words, the soldiers who served me in the Tang Dynasty. Of course, the emperor had to explicitly praise him and encourage the soldiers to make new contributions. For Chu Gong......! Erchen believes that a decree should be issued to reprimand. However, for the sake of the morale of the army, Erchen felt that it was more appropriate for his father to send a secret decree to the Duke of Chu. ”

Li Ke and Li Tai glanced at each other and found that each other's eyes had shrunk to the size of a pin's nose.

All along, Li Ke and Li Tai felt that the throne would be produced between them. Unexpectedly, a Li Zhi came out halfway. And listening to Li Zhi's reply just now, it is definitely something that only a person who has become a country can say. But he's just a thirteen-year-old boy!

If this is allowed to grow over time, what kind of person will he become? At that time, even if the two brothers are tied together, I am afraid they will not be the opponent of this little pheasant slave.

From the eyes of the other party, Li Ke and Li Tai both saw a strong sense of crisis. It's been many years, and it's the first time that the two brothers have felt this way at the same time.

"Li Ke! Li Tai! Listen, all of you, this is your brother. Speaking and doing things, it can be said that the old man is seeking the country. It seems that Master Yan's hard work has not been wasted over the years. Spread the decree, and appreciate the beauty of the family silk 300 horses and 500 taels of gold. Li Er smiled and commanded Zhao Jiang.

"No!" Zhao Jiang answered the promise and went out to deliver the decree. What a good errand to preach such a rewarding purpose!

"Huh! Father, the pheasant slave has indeed grown a lot over the years. Li Ke said with a smile.

"Yes, father, the pheasant slave has been successful in studying and cultivating virtue over the years. It is true that he has grown a lot, and Erchen feels that if he lets the pheasant slave return to the fiefdom for two years, he may be able to become the pillar of my Tang Dynasty in the future. Li Tai was equally smiling.

"Erchen seconded! What Qingque said is extremely true, the pheasant slave is still young. If you experience two years, it must be your father's thousand-mile horse. The wings of the young eagles are harder and harder the more they are beaten. Li Ke also agreed.

For the government, it is the first time that these two brothers have such a high degree of identification.
