Hearing that Li Yuan was captured alive, Wang Jiancheng suddenly mourned, and the cry shook the sky.

Li Tang's ministers, princes and nobles, in addition to gloating with Li Yuan, looked for a hidden place to hide. Courtiers loyal to Li Yuan rushed to the south gate in droves, wailing and begging the Han army to spare Li Yuan's life.

Li Cunxiao made such a great contribution, and he couldn't help but impress Yu Juluo, Gao Gao, Hua Mulan and others, and they all subconsciously regarded Li Cunxiao as the main general and obeyed his orders.

Li Cunxiao ordered the four gates to be blocked, while waiting for Li Jing's army to arrive. At the same time, he ordered all the ministers who came to surrender to be surrounded together, and sent troops to monitor them, and wait for Li Jing to arrive before dealing with them.

After a night of fierce fighting, more than 12,000 of the 20,000 Tang troops in Wang Jiancheng were killed, more than 5,000 were captured and surrendered voluntarily, and the rest took off their armor and sneaked into private houses to live in seclusion.

Before Li Jing's army arrived, the defenders in Wang Jiancheng had collapsed, and there were Tang troops kneeling and surrendering everywhere; The 40,000 households in Wang Jiancheng closed their doors and closed their windows, and even children did not dare to cry.

The early morning mist shrouded the Li Tang Palace, and it was as quiet as death.

It will be the darkest time of the day.

Two fast horses galloped from the north, and it was the Han army scouts who came to Li Cunxiao and turned over and dismounted: "Report to the general, the Tang generals Jin Ce and Wanyan Jin Danzi have learned the news of Wang Jiancheng's attack and are leading their troops back to help!" ”

"How many? How far is it from Wang Jiancheng? Li Cunxiao was full of ambition and asked in a deep voice.

The scout replied, "If you return to the general, except for the 20,000 horses of Jin Ce and Wanyan Jin Danzi. There are also Mao Wenlong, who guarded Goguryeo, and Zu Dashou led 20,000 horses to return to help, and it is estimated that it is about 180 miles away from Wang Jiancheng at this moment! ”

There was a pause. He continued: "And according to the monitoring of other brothers along the way, the Tang army has sent messengers to Liaodong for help. It is estimated that within a few days, Li Ji will return from Liaodong to rescue Wang Jiancheng. ”

"Probe again, report the news at any time!" Li Cunxiao's face was like frost, and he waved his hand to signal the scout to retreat.

Speaking of this Mao Wenlong and Zu Dashoulai, they are actually not from this world, they were all randomly brought to this world when Yuan Chonghuan was born, because they followed Li Shimin to fight in the south and the north, and gradually accumulated military merits and were given the position of general. Since last autumn, he has been stationed in Goguryeo.

As the sky grew brighter, the Tang troops in groups felt hungry and began to shout and protest to the Han army under the leadership of some backbones. Suddenly, there was a hundred calls, from less to more, shouting and scolding one after another.

"It's time to eat, don't you treat our captives as human beings?"

"I knew that we should not have surrendered in the first place, and it was better to serve the country than to starve to death in the city!"

Li Cunxiao's face was like frost. Beckoning a lieutenant to come to his side, he bowed his head and whispered for a while, and his cronies led the lieutenant away.

It didn't take long for smoke to rise from a wooded field to the south. The lieutenant led hundreds of Han soldiers and shouted to the Tang prisoners: "The weather is getting hotter, and our army has rebelled in the forest. Come on, come on, wait for me to eat in the woods in batches. Three hundred people first. ”

The Tang army fought all night, and they were already hungry. When I saw the smoke curling in the woods, I became suspicious. About three hundred captives came forward on their own initiative. Follow the Han army into the woods.

It's just that what awaits these people is not fragrant food, but ruthless bows and arrows, and the crossbowmen who have been ambushed for a long time burst into flames, and all their souls are suddenly returned to the western sky. Because they were so far apart, even if these Tang soldiers let out sporadic screams, those Tang soldiers who were imprisoned near the city gate did not notice it.

According to Li Cunxiao's instructions, this lieutenant concocted the same method, and successively summoned more than 5,000 captured Tang troops into more than a dozen groups into the woods, and it took two hours to slaughter them all.

All of a sudden, the dense poplar forest was filled with blood, and the corpses were mountains and rivers of blood.

At noon, Li Jing and Xu Sheng led 25,000 elite foot soldiers, and after a night of rapid marching, they arrived at the foot of Wang Jiancheng at a speed of 20 miles per hour.

Without waiting for the infantry to arrive, Li Cunxiao and the three generals Gao Gao, Yu Juluo, and Hua Mulan conquered Wang Jiancheng with 15,000 cavalry, which made Li Jing feel very pleased. However, Li Cunxiao's unauthorized slaughter of 5,000 prisoners made Li Jing slightly angry.

With a solemn face, he rebuked Li Cunxiao and said: "Our army is a division of benevolence and righteousness, and it is not merciful to kill and surrender, won't the Goguryeo people mistakenly think that our army is a brutal army?" If it weren't for your merit in breaking the city and capturing Li Yuan alive, this time you would definitely be punished heavily! ”

Li Cunxiao arched his hand and said: "Brother, all the notoriety is borne by the younger brother!" Li Tang surrendered to the army, not my race, his heart will be different! Our army went on an expedition across the sea, and the lone army went deep and was full of crises. Jin Ce and Wanyan Jin Danzi had already led their troops back to help, and they were afraid that at this moment, they were only one hundred and thirty or forty miles away from Wang Jiancheng. Moreover, according to the scout's report, the Tang army has already asked Li Ji in Liaodong for help, and if we wait for the Tang army from all walks of life to return, our army will definitely not be in good shape. If these captives take advantage of the opportunity to rise up and attack the Tang army that has returned to the reinforcements, our army will suffer losses. It's better to cut through the mess quickly and cut off future troubles! ”

Gao Gao and Yu Juluo expressed their support for Li Cunxiao's decision: "The governor asks for a break from the anger of the thunder, and the last general and others also think that General Cunxiao has handled it properly." One general succeeded and ten thousand bones withered, and that Xiang once killed more than 200,000 Qin troops, and Bai Qi even killed 400,000 Zhao troops in Changping. If you don't use thunderbolts, you're afraid of it! ”

Only Hua Mulan objected and shook her head: "Since these Tang troops have surrendered, they shouldn't kill these unarmed people, it's too cruel!" ”

Li Jing's eyes closed slightly, and he didn't say anything more.

Fact-seeking and truth-seeking, Li Jing's heart does not think that Li Cunxiao has done wrong; It's just that Li Jing usually governs the army with benevolence and righteousness, and he has always treated prisoners well. As the saying goes, "the way is virtuous, all are courteous, and know its hunger and cold, observe its labor, this is called benevolence." ”

In Li Jing's belief, he has always put "strictly administering the army and treating the enemy with kindness." Cutting down the land for the bottom, attacking the heart for the top" as their own troop strategy. Li Cunxiao's killing and surrendering was certainly reasonable, but it always made Li Jing feel a little incompatible with his own ideas; But the matter has come to this point, and I have to stop mentioning it.

A moment later. Xu Sheng was ordered to escort Tang Emperor Li Yuan and dozens of ministers to meet with Li Jing.

"King Tang. Under Li Jing, this is polite! ”

Facing Li Yuan, who has an extraordinary bearing, but has become a prisoner of his own ranks. Li Jing was not domineering, but gave up his greetings. It's just that Li Yuan's Tang Emperor was changed to "Tang King".

Li Yuan was slightly surprised by Li Jing's courtesy, and bowed his hand and said: "The prisoner under the steps, what face is worthy of the word Tang Wang, don't mention it!" ”

"It's not that I, Li Jing, took the initiative to provoke the war, it's actually your Tang Army who caused trouble! Li Tang has only been founded for a year, and my Han has no enmity with you recently, and there is no injustice in the past. And you, Li Tang Prince Li Shimin, traveled thousands of miles to invade Jinling, the capital of our country, across the sea, is it tolerable or unbearable? ”

Between speaking, Li Jing's tone involuntarily improved a lot, becoming sonorous and powerful: "Since Chen Tang shouted the sentence 'Those who commit strong men, although they are far away, they will be punished', it has become the belief of my Han Empire. No matter the mountains and rivers, those who dare to offend my Han Tianwei will be punished even if they are far away! ”

This moment. Li Yuan's nose was sour, and he felt like crying!

It turns out that the Han people do not say this casually, but really regard it as a "national spirit". Li Shimin's son is really a cheat, and I don't know that he crossed the sea to Jinling. What happened to the plan to capture Emperor Han alive? It's good now, I don't know if Emperor Han was caught, anyway, his court was served by others!

Li Jing smiled and said, "I forgot to remind King Tang." The noble prince Li Shimin and Li Yuanba have died in Jinling, and you Li Tang have no successor! ”

"Huh?"

Moment. The remaining hope in Li Yuan's heart was suddenly shattered, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten. Yang Tian exclaimed sadly: "The matter has come to this, what else do I Li Yuan have to say?" If you want to kill or chop, listen to it! ”

Originally, in Li Yuan's heart, he blamed Li Shimin a little, blaming him for being so ambitious, bent on annexing the fragmented Han, conquering Fusang Island, establishing an unprecedented Tang Empire, and becoming a generation of heavenly khans!

According to Li Yuan's idea, if he can completely control the entire Goguryeo Peninsula, and then occupy the entire Liaodong, and sweep away the Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes in the north, he can become a hegemon. It's good now, the two sons died in a foreign country, and they themselves became prisoners of the stairs, this life is really up and down!

Li Jing said loudly: "My Han Dynasty governs the country with filial piety and benevolence and righteousness, and Jing will not embarrass the Tang King." Please bring your concubines, children and ministers with me for a trip to the Han Dynasty and hand them over to the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty. ”

"陛xià...... People are under the eaves, and they have to bow their heads, so they will go with the Han army, right? Just as Li Yuan was hesitating, Yushi Qin Hui stood up and tried his best to advise, "Your Majesty, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the two princes of Jiancheng and Yuanji, right?" ”

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were both born after Li Yuan came to this world, Li Jiancheng is three years old this year, Li Yuanji is two years old, in addition to these two, there are several two or three-year-old daughters, all of whom are blocked in the palace by the Han army at the moment, and none of them have escaped. And Li Jiancheng is well-behaved and smart, and Li Yuan's deep love makes Li Shimin quite unhappy.

Seeing that Li Yuan was still groaning, Li Jing said in a deep voice: "King Tang don't expect the army from all walks of life to come back to save you, before you Li Tang and all walks of life return to Wang Jian City, the soldiers under my command have time to kill King Tang, your minister-in-law and children!" Although this is a bit cruel, Li Jing is not a pedantic person, and he also knows how to use thunderbolts to show the heart of a bodhisattva......"
