Chapter 713: Shen Tang threatens, good news comes again
Now almost everyone knows that the Tubo army of more than 100,000 people was not only wiped out by Shen Tang, but also became prisoners of Shen Tang. Even if there are really some remaining soldiers, how can they threaten the tens of thousands of Xuhen troops?
But what if these Tibetan remnants are pretending to be?
Even, there is no need to pretend, Shen Tang has at least tens of thousands of Tubo prisoners in his hands. It may not be impossible if these Tubo soldiers and horses intercept and kill the Xuhen tribe under Shen Tang's instruction.
Until this moment, Lian Gaoliang finally understood that Shen Tang didn't believe what he said just now.
This time, if they don't pay some price, it may be impossible for them to return to Qiongbu Prefecture safely.
Lian Gaoliang was stunned for a long time, and then gritted his teeth and said, "What the general said makes sense, so please give me some guidance on how we can return smoothly! If our Xuhen Department can survive this disaster smoothly, I'll definitely be rewarded with something in return."
"Haha..." Shen Tang chuckled softly, "Although this matter is difficult to say, it is not impossible.
Although the soldiers and horses of your Xuhen Department are not weak, they are probably no match for the remaining Tubo soldiers.
However, for me, the Tubo soldiers and horses are defeated! According to my wishes, you tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will be temporarily under my command.
There is no need to worry, the commander-in-chief has now sent out a large army to clear out the remaining Tibetan soldiers on the entire Chengdu Prefecture Road. It will not take long for the various state capitals to settle down.
Until then, all you tens of thousands of soldiers and horses can do is return to Qiongbu Prefecture."
"As for the safety of your ethnic group, you don't need to worry! I have a troop of troops already heading to Qiongbu Prefecture.
This commander will order this army to go to the Xuhen Department immediately to help you garrison the territory, and will never let other tribes attack you at this time..."
"ah……"
Shen Tang's words shocked Lian Gaoliang. Although Shen Tang said it lightly, it was definitely a disaster for the Xuhen Department.
It is easy to say that tens of thousands of troops surrendered to Shen Tang, and they even said that they could return to the tribe in the future. However, if they really fall into the hands of Shen Tang, can they really count on what they said?
These tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are the lifeblood of the Xuhen Department. Once taken away by Shen Tang, the Xuhen Department will immediately change from a top tribe to a small tribe that everyone can bully.
As for what Shen Tang said about ordering the army to help garrison, it is even more of a joke.
If this army really went, it would be good if they didn't suppress the Xuhen Department, and could they help garrison it?
It's simply a joke.
"This...this is not necessary!"
Lian Gaoliang said blankly.
"Snapped!"
Cheng Yuhu, who was beside Shen Tang, suddenly stood up and slapped the table, glaring at Lian Gaoliang angrily with a pair of tiger eyes, "You kid, you don't know what is good or bad?
Don’t you know that the commander-in-chief is here for you soldiers and horses, for the good of your Xuhen Department?
If you don't accept the commander's kindness, what do you want to do?
Huh, don’t blame me for not reminding you, that is to say, the commander-in-chief is kind enough to keep you safe. If you rush back south, the whole army will be wiped out. Don’t blame the commander-in-chief for not reminding you..."
"this……"
Lian Gaoliang was dumbfounded. Before he came here, Shentu Mou had secretly told them that the Song army would never allow them to surrender easily this time.
Therefore, if you need to pay a certain price, as long as you can bear it, it is not a bad idea.
But where is the price to pay now?
This is going to cost the Xuhen Department its life.
"Hmph! I have already said what needs to be said. As for your decision, I will naturally not stop you!"
Shen Tang said coldly.
Then, Shen Tang ignored the company and turned to the other generals and said, "Hey, this time the Tubo invaded Chengdu, the various state capitals suffered a lot of damage, and I don't know how many local tribes were killed by the Tubo." ! You will quickly investigate the information from each state capital and compile statistics on the tribes that were killed. I will also report it to the court as soon as possible!"
Shen Tang's words frightened Lian Gaoliang even more. There was obviously something in his words. The entire Chengdu mansion was now controlled by Shen Tang.
Which tribe is destroyed is not a matter of Shen Tang's words?
If Shen Tang really becomes lively and the army comes directly to kill them, and their Xuhen Department is really wiped out, then even if they want to find a place to reason, they won't be able to find one.
Even the adults in the imperial court who were on good terms with their Void Hatred Department had absolutely nothing to do! After all, Shen Tang only needed to blame these things directly on the Tubo people, and even to the point of death without any evidence, who could do anything.
"General, I will go back immediately to inform the great elder of the general's good intentions! After the great elder makes a decision, I will come to see the general!"
At this time, Lian Gaoliang still dared to stay. They had underestimated Shen Tang's thoughts. Now, they must go back to discuss countermeasures.
"Well, this is no small matter. You should naturally go back and discuss it."
Shen Tang nodded.
Then, Lian Gaoliang saluted everyone and hurried back to the main camp of the Xuhen Department without stopping!
Shentu Mou, who was waiting for the news, was furious after listening to Lian Gaoliang's story!
"The commander-in-chief of the Song Army doesn't know the heights of the world. He actually wants to directly annex tens of thousands of our troops and threatens us with the safety of our ethnic group. He simply doesn't know how to live or die!"
Shen Tumou shouted angrily, "If you push this elder into a hurry, it will be the worst possible outcome!"
That's what he said, but Shen Tumo obviously didn't have the courage to fight to the death.
So, after venting my anger, I sat down slumped!
Now, they have no power to compete with the Song Army, and naturally they are not qualified for reciprocal negotiations! Moreover, they are begging for surrender now, not the Song Army asking them to surrender! The Song Army can continue to fight, but now they are There is no confidence to continue fighting.
Especially the strength shown by the Song Army in the previous battle completely drained away all their fighting spirit.
"They really don't have any wiggle room?"
Shen Tumou asked with a cold face.
Lian Gaoliang smiled bitterly and said, "Great Elder, now the Song army has strong soldiers and horses, and is not afraid of war.
Besides, they have many Tibetan soldiers who can be used as cannon fodder, even if they are wasted, we are no match."
Shen Tumou's expression was gloomy, and he sighed softly in his heart, "Okay, I understand, this elder knows, you can go down first.
Let me, the elder, think about it before making a decision!"
While Shen Tang continued to clean up the mess in Chengdu Prefecture, several fast horses came from the west and galloped all the way to Lin'an.
Before arriving at the city gate, before the gate defender could speak, the soldiers on horseback shouted, "Good news about the battle in Chengdu, get out of the way quickly!"
After the defenders heard this and confirmed it, they quickly moved the horses away from the door! It was no problem for the people who usually had difficulty getting in and out, but if it was about war, they couldn't stop it.
Otherwise, don't say that these soldiers are difficult to offend. If important matters are delayed, the court will kill them first.
