In the end, Zhao Youlin asked all the soldiers to hand over their weapons, surrender their weapons to Datang, and surrender their weapons to Li Chengqian.
This time, Zhao Youlin really lost.
He was defeated without a trace of temper.
He was so defeated that he couldn't even say a word that he was not convinced of.
Because the Tang Dynasty won this war so cleanly that even before the Tang Dynasty used all its strength, it could no longer hold on.
Now that everything is like this, what else is worth persevering on?
However, he, Zhao Youlin, still has his own pride.
Because he still has the entire Western Turks and hundreds of thousands of soldiers who can make a comeback.
As long as his brother is here, he still has a chance.
After seeing with my own eyes all my brothers walking out of Tangying.
Zhao Youlin turned the horse's head back to the Tang camp and reined in the horse in front of Li Chengqian.
"Li Chengqian, you won this time, I admit it."
He looked at Li Chengqian and said: "But next time, you will definitely lose, and in the game between us, the winner can only be me..."
"Hahaha……"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian threw his head back and laughed loudly.
"Zhao Youlin, I really admire your courage."
"But I don't recommend you do this."
"Because we are not at the same level at all. If you continue to fight with me, the result will be that you lose again and again."
Li Chengqian raised his head slightly and said: "Even if I put this sentence here, if one day you defeat me, I will do whatever you want."
He just has this confidence.
Because the Tang Dynasty is here, and the strength of the Tang Dynasty is here.
In front of the Tang Dynasty, you, the Western Turks, are really as fragile as a piece of paper.
If it were not for the current situation in the Tang Dynasty, a large-scale national war would not be allowed.
Li Chengqian even had the idea to wipe out all the Western Turks in one go.
But now is not the time, because Datang is not ready yet.
After hearing what Li Chengqian said, Zhao Youlin just smiled softly.
Then, he turned the horse's head again and headed in the direction of the large army. Run away.
At this time, Cheng Huailiang walked behind Li Chengqian.
He said with disdain: "Who is this?"
"Even though I'm defeated, I still have to look like I'm the best in the world."
"Who is this big-tailed wolf pretending to show?"
After hearing his words, Li Chengqian laughed again.
He said: "This guy is not pretending to be a big-tailed wolf, he is a big-tailed wolf himself."
"And I can sort of see it."
"This kid still refuses to accept the loss and wants to compete with me again."
"But how did he know that the gap between him and us has become wider and wider."
Li Chengqian looked back at Cheng Huailiang and said, "Do you believe that within three years, I will once again raise the military power of the Tang Dynasty to a higher level?"
"I believe."
Cheng Huailiang said without hesitation.
Seeing him like this, Li Chengqian was a little puzzled: "I'm bragging, do you believe it?"
"Believe it."
Cheng Huailiang said: "Before, His Highness said that the price of rice should be increased from thirty cents at the beginning to more than ten cents later, and His Highness did it."
"His Highness also said that if all the people in the world have enough to eat, then everyone in the world will have enough to eat."
"So, whatever His Highness says, I will believe."
"Because I believe that His Highness does not talk empty words."
Obviously, Li Chengqian had completely impressed Cheng Huailiang.
As for his brother's trust, it was impossible for Li Chengqian not to be touched.
He shook his head slightly and said, "Now that one problem has been solved, there will be more troubles in the future."
"However, it is a good thing to solve one problem."
Li Chengqian looked back at Cheng Hualiang and said: "Although this war will not last long, we still have to let our brothers go home and be reunited with each other."
People are reunited.”
"Go and inform everyone to break camp and retreat."
Speaking of this, Li Chengqian thought for a while and said: "Let's go to Duyan City to rest first, and then go home."
"yes……"
After that, Cheng Huailiang went directly to inform Li Chengqian of his order.
This war came and went quickly, but its impact was huge.
First, Datang re-established its dominance in the Western Regions.
Judging from the fate of Qiuci, if others dare to touch Datang's business lines again, they really have to consider whether their body is strong enough.
Similarly, Li Chengqian's behavior was enough to frighten the countries in the Western Regions. ??
If you don't move, it will be over. If you move, you will massacre the city. How terrifying this is is only understood by those who have experienced it personally.
After returning to Duyan City to rest for two days, Li Chengqian led a large force back to Longyou Road.
Different from before.
The Liangzhou Army came back just as they went on expeditions before.
But this time, the Liangzhou army went out empty-handed, but came back with a full load.
Hundreds of carriages were filled with gold sand, golden beans, and all kinds of gems and jades.
Seeing this scene, the people were a little dumbfounded.
Are they really going to fight?
Can you still make money by fighting?
This is also the first time they have heard of it.
After all, the armies of the Tang Dynasty never did such things as plundering and massacring cities.
Li Chengqian could be regarded as setting a precedent for the Tang army.
And also because of this matter, Li Shimin was already extremely busy.
Although he said, if the enemy can do it, I can do it too.
But massacring a city and destroying a stronghold is still a matter of moral integrity.
Some Confucian scholars even went directly to Chang'an City to cause trouble at the instigation of thoughtful people.
Thousands of Confucian scholars rushed to the busiest streets and demanded to meet Li Shimin so that he could make Li Chengqian a particularly talented person. Those who care about human ethics should be jailed and executed.
…
Inside the Manna Hall.
Li Shimin's face was filled with sadness.
He said: "These Confucian scholars are really crazy."
"You even thought of asking me to put my son in jail and behead him."
"I'm really confused. Is it because I'm too tolerant towards them?"
"Now they dare to run in front of me and yell, asking me to kill their own son."
Li Shimin took a deep breath, looked at Changsun Wuji, and said, "Wuji, tell me, what should I do now?"
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji slowly raised his head.
"If Your Majesty is a tyrant like Emperor Yang, I will tell Your Majesty to kill everyone who opposes His Majesty."
Changsun Wuji shook his head and said, "But your Majesty is not."
"Your Majesty is a wise master who is rare in the ages."
"And because His Majesty is the master of the Ming Dynasty, this kind of situation will happen now."
Changsun Wuji looked at Li Shimin and asked: "So, I only have one idea, but it may be a bad idea. Does your Majesty want to listen to it..."
"Stop being so pretentious."
"If you have anything to say, just say it."
Where does Li Shimin have the intention to make detours with him now?
Now he wished he could kill all those Confucian scholars to relieve his anger.
"My idea is to have His Highness come back and explain to them myself."
"Just like His Highness did when he faced those Buddhas, let him speak to these people and then spread those words to the world."
"If it is handled well, you can naturally continue with your plan."
Changsun Wuji looked at Li Shimin and said: "And if it is not handled well, then this matter is also His Highness's business and has nothing to do with His Majesty."
Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.
"This is a good idea..."
Li Shimin rubbed his chin, and gradually revealed a bad smile: "But is this a suspicion of cheating his son..."
