Li Xiang's wish was good, but with the arrival of an imperial edict from Chang'an City, Li Xiang's wish was shattered. These Turks could not be brought to the front line. They had more important tasks.
According to the imperial edict, these Turks must be transported to Chang'an, because in the propaganda of Chang'an City, the Tang army has never failed. They have always been heading north with overwhelming force, and the common people marching across the country have also
I thought so, so we had to take these Turks to Chang'an so that all the people could see that we really won the battle.
Of course, there were reasons for the court to do this. There were some insidious elements within the Tang Dynasty who spread rumors in the society, saying that the Tang Dynasty lost the war on the grassland. This cannot be considered a rumor, after all, it was really a war.
The battle was defeated, but the Tang court did not disclose it to the outside world. Fools know what these people were thinking when they said this, so Li Shimin decided to ask Li Xiang to send these people back to Chang'an, which could be regarded as using practical actions to fight back against these conspirators.
.
It’s nothing. Isn’t it normal for a country to lie? What’s more, for the sake of the stability of such a large empire, telling lies is just a lie, but the next decision of the imperial edict is intriguing...
King Wu was seriously injured on the battlefield. Although Li Xiang brought a doctor with him, it was best to send him to a stable place. If it was on the grassland, the weather was not conducive to recovery, and many injured people had to
He was sent back to Chang'an, but Li Shimin asked King Wu to recuperate on the grassland.
"The emperor's plan is really good. Our victory this time is in vain. I guess it is impossible to expect the emperor to give us promotions."
Niu Jinda was a loyal man and would not talk nonsense under normal circumstances, but after seeing this imperial edict, he felt a little uncomfortable. The brothers ran from Goguryeo to here. The road stretching for more than two thousand miles can be said to be almost endless.
During any pause, except for a break when very tired, the buttocks never left the horse's back at any other time.
Let alone the fact that we won the war, even if we did not win, the court would have to recognize our contribution based on our hard work alone. But what is the court doing now? Let King Wu continue to stay on the grassland to recuperate.
, which means that the leadership of this army is still in vain. Since the court did not say that they were defeated, then the next victory will also belong to them. We people are working for free, no matter how many people died or how many people were injured.
, it cannot be disclosed to the world in the end.
"Your Highness, this matter cannot be handled like this. It doesn't matter just a few of us. Our current position is high enough. The emperor will bring us down if he doesn't give us a reward. But what about these brothers under his command? These brothers who died among us
Well, don’t their families need these honors?”
Su Dingfang couldn't hold back his anger. Now that he heard that Niu Jinda was not satisfied, he immediately stood up. Although the number of our dead brothers is not large, there are still more than 800 people. Well, these more than 800 people
The family members were originally waiting for their son to return. After all, we won the victory in Goguryeo, and they also wrote letters to their families. Now that they have died on the Xiongnu grassland, who will explain to their families?
"Don't be so nervous yet. I guess this is also a temporary measure. Let's not have too big a reaction for the time being. The emperor should have explained to these people, otherwise it would not be a small matter for so many family members."
At this time, Li Xiang should not be too angry. If Li Xiang is also angry, and these people below follow Li Xiang's footsteps, they may have to publish some dissatisfaction with the imperial court. Once they say that, all the soldiers below will
Got it, then there's no need to go north to fight, we can just pull them down where they are.
On the one hand, soldiers fight on the front line because of the honor of the country, and on the other hand, they also hope that their families will live a better life. But now everyone knows the meaning of what the emperor has done, which is to make people like Li Xiang
Unsung heroes, you won this tough battle, but the honor has nothing to do with you. It all belongs to the army to which King Wu belongs. You guys came from afar to help.
If it's a matter of convenience, Li Xiang is not the kind of person to care about things, and neither are Niu Jinda and Su Dingfang. Everyone can help you handle this matter, but now we are really dead.
Human beings, and you don’t want to recognize the honor of these people, can you let them rest in peace under the Nine Springs?
"Xiang'er..."
While several people were discussing, Li Xiang suddenly heard Li Ge's voice. After half a month of cultivation, plus the medicine provided by Li Xiang, Wu King Li Ge's body had almost recovered, although it was not yet
It can be done, but it is no longer in danger of life. As long as you take careful care, it should be no problem to return to its original state.
After the three people heard this voice, their faces were a little embarrassed. When the three people were discussing just now, they all forgot that there was another person in the tent. However, Wu King Li Ke was not a sinister person, and they knew this.
"You're awake, Third Uncle, it's time to change the dressing today."
Li Xiang quickly asked Su Dingfang to take the golden sore medicine next to him. Although it could also be exchanged in Li Xiang's system, the effect was better. Therefore, when using medicine, Li Xiang learned from each other's strengths and used whichever one worked best.
"I have heard what you said. The court did something wrong in this matter. As a son, you cannot say that your parents did something wrong. But you can rest assured that I will return to Chang'an with these people, including those under me.
Among them, those who can fight will follow you. They also want to earn some credit. If they cannot fight, let them follow me back to Chang'an."
The words of King Wu and Li Ke made all the people present unable to hold their heads up. We were still talking about him just now, but now his behavior makes us a little embarrassed. King Wu and Li Ke are an upright man. Three people have done something about this matter.
It can be considered convinced. Although I knew it before, I know it even more now.
"Third uncle, this is an imperial edict. If you return to Chang'an now, you will be violating the imperial edict. The emperor will not let you go by then. This matter needs to be considered in the long run."
Li Xiang shook his head, this matter cannot be handled like this. Li Shimin's will cannot be violated by others, not even his own son.??
