It was a big win. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

18,000 were killed, 20,000 were captured, and the commander of the invasion of Goguryeo, Quangae Suwen, was captured, this person was not only the commander of the Goguryeo army this time, but also the eastern lord of Goguryeo, and the son of Goguryeo's great opponent Lu.

It was also a pyrrhic victory.

In the first battle of the river, the Tang army lost more than 1,000 losses. The city of Pingzhou was besieged, and the Tang army suffered more than 5,000 casualties among soldiers and civilians. The siege of Linyu resulted in more than 2,000 casualties. Linyu attacked, and the Tang army suffered nearly 1,000 casualties.

The battle of Zhaozhuang was even more infrequent. Of the 28,000 Li Chao, 15,000 were killed in battle, and more than 1,000 were seriously injured and disabled, not counting minor injuries.

Li Xiuning's subordinates, who came to help, ran and killed tens of thousands of horses, pack horses, mules and donkeys, 50,000 soldiers and horses, and more than 2,000 casualties.

Zhao Zhuang's young man also died hundreds.

If you add the more than 1,000 captured people who died in front of Zhao Zhuang before.

This time, Datang killed nearly 20,000 people in the battle, and tens of thousands of casualties among the people.

Of the 20,000 volunteers, half is left.

Since Li Chao commanded the army, he has never suffered such a big loss.

Holding a horizontal knife in his hand, Li Chao's eyes were fixed on Quan Gai Suwen.

"Tell me, how do you want to die?"

Yuangai Suwen was forced to kneel on the ground, and he wanted to struggle to get up, but several big men pressed him, but he couldn't move.

As soon as Li Chao's hand was forced, the blade entered the flesh.

Bright red blood immediately flowed out, and the warm blood slid down Yuangai Suwen's neck and flowed through his chest.

Yuangai Suwen was honest all of a sudden.

"I surrendered on my own initiative."

"Hmph, the Chinese dialect is pretty good, dog, do you think that Lao Tzu won't kill you if you surrender?" As he spoke, Li Chao dragged the knife, and made another cut on his neck, and blood flowed out again.

"Xiangguo, what nonsense to talk to him, he was directly slashed. Then he cut down all those dog-day Liao dogs, and used their bones to build a Beijing Temple. ”

Niu Jianhu yelled.

Li Chao lifted the knife and raised it, he did have the idea of slashing this bastard with a knife at this moment.

"San Lang, wait!"

Li Xiuning stopped Li Chao.

"Since this person has been captured alive, even if he wants to be killed, he must first ask His Majesty, and finally he will be escorted to Xiangyang and wait for His Majesty's fate."

After all, the other party is not an ordinary Goguryeo soldier, he is the commander of the enemy army, and he is also the son of the Goguryeo Great Pair Lu, and he is also the eastern lord of Goguryeo, this person's status in Goguryeo is very high, and the Yuan family is the family of Goguryeo.

Killing these dogs can indeed calm the anger of Li Chao and these soldiers. But being persuaded by Pingyang, Li Chao also calmed down a little.

Killing is not the solution to the problem.

Moreover, Li Chao had always believed that prisoners should not be killed, because it would be too much of a loss to kill. The prisoners of war were young and strong, and these were the best labourers.

More than 21,000 prisoners of war, it's a pity to kill, and it's too cheap for these bastards.

These people, Li Chao thinks that their destination is to be the slaves of the Tang Dynasty forever, or the worst slaves of hard labor.

Take the knife back.

Yuangai Suwen was still glaring at Li Chao.

"Now I'll give you a chance to honestly explain the situation of the Goguryeo customs defense and garrison in western Liaoning."

Yuangai Suwen pretended to be a dead pig and did not speak.

Li Chao sneered.

"Do you really think I don't dare kill you?"

Yuangai Suwen didn't speak, but that look seemed to say that you don't dare to kill me.

Li Chao smiled and took the knife out again.

"See the tiger and be silent. You two, pull his right hand over. ”

Niu Jianhu and Cheng Chumo immediately laughed, and the two of them worked together to pull out Yuan Gai Suwen's right hand, straighten it and press it to the ground.

Yuangai Suwen panicked.

The withdrawal of his mission can be pulled by two strong men, and he can't pull it back at all.

Li Chao picked up the knife and gently scraped his fingers on the blade.

Then he put the knife on Yuangai Suwen's face and scraped it gently, "How is it, do you feel the sharpness of this knife?" The horizontal knife made of steel ingots produced by Li Kee Iron and Steel Factory is different from the previous horizontal knife, and His Majesty specially gave it the name Tang knife. This knife, with one slash, can cut through eighteen layers of cowhide. ”

"Li Chao, Li Xiangguo, Zhao Guogong, don't!" Yuangai Suwen was scared and struggled vigorously.

"Let me go, I will definitely persuade my father to reconcile with Datang."

"No, I will write to my father and ask him to persuade the king to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty and never dare to violate the Tang Frontier again."

Li Chao ignored it.

"How old are you, don't you want to say don't?"

Li Chao put away his smiling face, and his face turned cold.

"I said, I told all the soldiers and horses in western Liaoning."

Li Chao smiled.

"If you had been so cooperative, then everything would have been easy to say. It's a pity that you were very uncooperative just now, so I have to punish you somewhat. Besides, I, Li Chao, have always been true to my word. If you say that you will cut off your right hand, I will never cut off your left hand. If I can't even do that, I'll be a piece of. ”

Li Chao walked up to Yuan Gai Suwen's hand that had been pulled out, and slowly raised the knife.

"Li Chao, if you dare to break my arm, it will be an endless battle with my Goguryeo."

"Phew, what qualifications do you have to speak on behalf of Goguryeo, you are just a captive of Lao Tzu." After speaking, Li Chao swung down the Tang knife fiercely.

The sharpness of the Tang knife is not covered, the high-quality steel, coupled with the excellent forging process, makes this Tang knife extremely sharp. With a knife, Yuan Gai Suwen's right hand was already broken.

"Ahh

Yuangai Suwen saw that his right hand was really cut off by Li Chao, and watched that arm spurting blood, both painful and angry, and screamed again and again.

Looking at the arm on the ground, Niu Jianhu said, "Don't waste it, this hand, I think it will be used as the food of Quangai Suwen for the next few days, let people cook it, and give it to him." ”

Yuangai Suwen's painful face was covered with beads of sweat like soybeans, and as soon as he heard this, he fainted directly.

"Hahaha, that's all the courage of this shit." Niu Jianhu smiled shamelessly.

"Stop the bleeding for him, don't bleed to death." Li Chao put the knife on Yuan Gai Suwen's clothes and wiped it clean, and put the knife into the sheath.

Niu Jianhu stopped a soldier who was going to call a military doctor, took a captured knife directly, and threw it into the fire. After a while, the blade of the knife burned red.

He pulled out the knife and directly pressed the red-hot blade on the incision of the Yuangai Suwen broken wall.

The sound of sizzling barbecue sounded, and Yuan Gai Suwen woke up in pain again.

Ahhhhhhhh

Niu Jianhu scalded it several times, scalding the entire fracture, and then grabbed a handful of plant ashes, sprinkled it directly on it, and then cut a piece of underwear from Yuangai Suwen's body, and wrapped it indiscriminately.

"Alright."

Yuan Gai Suwen didn't wake up again, and Niu Jianhu directly poured some cold water on his face.

So he woke up again, and as soon as he woke up, a huge pain struck, and seeing that his right shoulder was empty, and the right arm that was being roasted on the fire, Yuan Gai Suwen screamed miserably, and almost fainted again.

"Don't faint, if you faint again, Lao Tzu will directly roast you on this fire." The bull saw the tiger and scared him.

Li Chao sat on the side and looked at Yuan Gai Suwen.

"Let's get down to business first, now you can explain the garrison and customs defense in western Liaoxi, remember, if you dare to tell half a lie, if you have a little bit to hide, I will let you know that I cut off your hand just now, but it's actually just the lightest."

Yuangai Suwen glared at Li Chao angrily.

Li Chao sneered and pulled out the knife again.

"Maybe I should cut your dick."

Yuangai Suwen clamped his legs all at once.

"I say!"

His voice was hoarse and low, utterly depressed.

Yuangai Suwen is very honest and doesn't dare to hide anything, in his eyes, Li Chao is already a complete evil ghost.

"Come, take him down, ask the military doctor to take a look at the wound, can't let this guy die, at least, can't let him die too early, and after he is escorted to Beijing to show His Majesty, it's not too late to die."

Li Xiuning asked Li Chao.

"Are you going to send troops to Liaoxi now?"

Li Chao nodded.

suffered such a big loss this time, but he finally wiped out the invading 50,000 Goguryeo cavalry. Although he also suffered heavy losses, the Goguryeo people certainly did not expect such an outcome.

At the moment, there are definitely not many soldiers and horses in Liaoxi.

At this time, the Goguryeo court had not yet reversed, and Li Chao made a time difference and sent troops to recover Liaoxi, which had a great chance.

"Those soldiers can't die in vain, and those white surnames can't die in vain, Liaoxi and Liaodong are originally owned by the Central Plains, but they haven't had a chance before. Now, the opportunity is right now, and we can't afford to miss it. ”

"Do you want to ask Your Majesty first?"

"Of course I will ask Your Majesty, but the situation is in full swing, and I will make it clear to Your Majesty as I march."

"Are you really sure?"

Li Chao nodded.

"You also listened to Quangai Suwen's words just now, many of the 50,000 soldiers and horses he led this time were mobilized from western Liaoxi, and there were also cavalry from the Eastern Yan and other Goguryeo tribes. 50,000 horsemen is not a small force for the Goguryeo people. Now in the territory of western Liaoning, there are not many soldiers combined, even if those tribes are young and strong, they can't gather for a while. ”

There are soldiers who send troops.

Li Chao and Li Xiuning's soldiers add up to 60,000.

60,000, enough to recover Liaoxi.

"What are you going to do with those captives? Won't they all cut off their right arm? ”

"In your eyes, am I the kind of vicious person?" Li Chao smiled, "These captives, let them be slaves in the city." I plan to build a new Guancheng in the east of Linyu Pass, between the mountains and the sea between Pingzhou and Liaoxi. The imperial court had a plan for that fortress, but it had not yet begun. Now, the 20,000 prisoners of war, just enough to use, let them build that fortress. ”

"Shanhaiguan?"

"That's right."

"If Liaoxi is recovered this time, is there still a need to build Shanhaiguan?" Li Xiuning asked.

"Tongguan and Wujiao Pass, these guancheng are also in the hinterland of the Central Plains, not in the frontier, but is the imperial court abandoned? Even if we recover Liaoxi, Shanhaiguan is very necessary. This is an important gateway outside the east of Hebei, repaired, can be tied with the military capital pass, even more important than the military capital pass, of course, it has to be repaired. ”

"If you say you want to repair, then repair, when will we send troops to Liaoxi?"

Li Chao thought for a while, "Let's take a rest in three days, and after three days, I will go out of the customs and recover Liaoxi." ”
