Chapter 914: Difficult Choices
In fact, whether it is Li Er, Du Ruhui, or even Li Chengqian, their thoughts are the same. They are all thinking about boiling those who are in Goguryeo, and they are too lazy to distinguish between Han and Goguryeo, and they are all arrested, otherwise they will not think that this matter will make their reputation plummet.
But in this world things are like this, some can be said but not done, some can be done but cannot be said.
How to deal with the Goguryeo people after the war is a thing that can be done but cannot be said, so no one wants to ask, because if they ask, they will make a decision, and the person who makes the decision is likely to be infamous through the ages.
Du He, the poor baby, stupidly became Li Chengqian's scapegoat but didn't know it, Lao Du, who was far away in Jizhou, almost blew up his lungs, and after scolding the rebel with his feet, he was sick for three days, and even his old friend Fang Xuanling avoided it.
It's a shame, it's really embarrassing, Fang Mou Du Duan's 'Du Duan' actually gave birth to a stupid son, and he dared to get involved in the next big thing, and now he was caught by Li Chengqian as a scapegoat, but who did he find to reason.
"Keming, are you still sulking? That's pretty much it, the dolls' business, why bother with such a big liver fire! "My son didn't suffer, Li Er can naturally stand and talk without backache.
"Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers and godsons have no way, and their virtues are at a loss, please punish Your Majesty!" Old man Du also had no tricks, relying on the fact that he was the old man of the Qin Palace, he began to let go, and tried to exchange a punishment for Li Erbu to make Du He's idea known to the world.
"You old fellow will let go, okay, okay, I agreed." Li Er came to see Du Ruhui in private, so he didn't act so seriously, and his words were like talking about homely things.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." Du Ruhui is also a wonderful person, Li Shimin just said yes, and he didn't ask questions about what should be done, and immediately thanked him.
Decades of relationship between monarchs and ministers, I don't know how many things like this have happened, Li Er can't really hold on to this thing, Du Ruhui knows this, so he took the opportunity to play tricks and round things up from Lao Li this time.
However, Lao Du also knew that although Li Er had agreed to this matter, he also owed his favor, and he was afraid that he would have to pay it back in the future.
Li Er and Du Ruhui were playing a game of fighting with each other, and the time was about the same time as the time of the South China Sea Fleet's grain requisition, and Li Chengqian also prepared to deal with the Tubo people non-stop after dealing with Du He.
The prince of the Tang Dynasty, Chrysostom Yuyan, said that five days is five days, and there is no reason to change the day.
Therefore, in the early morning of the fifth day after Li Chengqian's last departure, the 5,000 Tibetan troops marching to Qizhou were blocked by a team of more than 1,000 people.
"Lu Dongzan, come out and answer!" Wooden, armed with a spear, stepped out of the crowd.
This guy has never been back since he escorted Li Yuanchang back to Chang'an, and this time the handling of Tibetan personnel is very important, which makes the unobtrusive Jianghu people in the 'Seventh Group' seem unjustifiable.
"Yes, it's 'Fang', Datang's 'Fang'!"
"Why, didn't you say let us go back? Why are you blocking us here? ”
"It's over, it's dead, it's really dead."
Five thousand former Tubo elites fought with the Tang army in Songzhou, and were taken to Chang'an for a period of time.
"Shut up all of them, and if you don't want to die, stand honestly!" Lu Dongzan, who walked out of the crowd, turned his head angrily and yelled, turned his head to Wooden and asked a little embarrassedly: "Dongzan is here, what is the general looking for?" ”
"Lu Dongzan, Your Highness asked you how things are being considered!" The big gun in Woo Deng's hand pointed obliquely at the ground, and glanced at the Tubo people behind Lu Dongzan with some disdain, and he had the intention of treating these people as local chickens and dogs.
A frightened army can't reach an army at all, I really don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks, why would he want to subdue these people, is this Tubo Lu Dongzan really so important? To the extent that it is far superior to tens of thousands of troops? For him alone, he can let tens of thousands of people go?
With this or that in mind, Wooden tightened the spear in his hand, and there was a great way to take the dog's life without saying a word.
"General, there is something unclear in Dongzan, I don't know if the general can solve my doubts." Lu Dongzan paused, avoided Wooden's question, and instead asked him questions.
It's just that Wooden is not the kind of rookie who has no battlefield experience, and said with a sneer: "Lu Dongzan, don't do any more useless struggles, there are only two paths in front of you - life or death!" Where to go is only in your thoughts! ”
"This general, Dongzan just wants to ask, between red mouth and white teeth, how can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trust me, if Dongzan just perfunctory promise, but still ...... behind his back" Lu Dongzan closed his mouth when he said this, some words don't need to be said too clearly, if they are too clear, I am afraid that there will be a danger of people falling to the ground at any time.
"You don't have to worry about this matter, as long as you say your choice, whether it is true or false, Your Highness has his own judgment." Regarding Lu Dongzan's question, Wooden was actually very confused.
But for the sake of his own face and the face of Datang, he can only answer this way, as for whether Li Chengqian has a way to identify it, he can only leave it to later.
Lu Dongzan was silent, he thought that he could persuade people to come with his incorruptible tongue and buy some time for himself, but he didn't want to come to be a stubborn donkey, so he didn't reason with him at all, and went straight to the point, so he didn't even have room to maneuver.
Since receiving the handwritten letter from Songtsen Gampo three days ago, Lu Dongzan has thought a lot, and also figured out why Li Chengqian would say so many strange things to him before he left.
There was no order in Songzan's handwriting, it was just a truthful retelling of what the Tang prince had said, but Lu Dongzan could feel the torment in the writer's heart, and he also knew that the lives of tens of thousands of people in Tubo were tied to his own thoughts.
If they submit to Li Chengqian, then these people in Tubo will be able to live (of course, I don't know how many days they can live), if they don't submit, then the fate of these people can be known regardless of whether they are asked, just look at the thousand Tang knights wearing full armor in front of them, and know that the consequences will not be as simple as letting them go home.
