As Li Jing's order was issued, everyone began to take action to capture the Tibetan soldiers who surrendered one by one. Because there were tens of thousands of people on the Tibetan side, the surrender process alone took most of the day. By the afternoon and evening
It was only when the time came that this matter was completed. At the same time, all the traps laid out on the official road in front had been dealt with.
After Li Jing took everyone into custody, he led the crowd forward and returned to the military camp again.
At this time, the army was stationed.
However, Li Jing arranged for a group of soldiers to go forward, go straight to Wubao, and capture Wubao directly. After all, Wubao no longer had the troops to guard it, so it was easy to capture it.
Taking Wubao will open the road to Tubo.
The army can go straight into Tubo.
However, Li Jing did not deal with the Tibetan soldiers for the time being, nor did he deal with Lu Dongzan and the Tubo people. He just detained everyone. In the Chinese army's tent, Li Jing and Li Chengqian sat opposite each other. Li Jing said: "Prince, this battle has been won.
, according to the old minister’s suggestion, all the Tubo people should be put to death. Because leaving these people behind is of no use at all, they can only let the tiger return to the mountain. As for the disposal of Ludongzan and Songtsan Gampo, I suggest that you ask your majesty for instructions.
"
When Li Chengqian heard this, he was very surprised and said: "Duke Wei, all the Tubo people have been killed. Are some of the killings excessive?"
Li Jing said: "Prince, I am a soldier, so I don't mention other moral matters. The starting point of my consideration is very simple. It is just one thing. Now let go of Lu Dongtsen, Songtsen Gampo, and all the Tibetan soldiers."
.In the next year, Tubo will definitely invade the border and invade the border. By then, there will definitely be losses, and even people will die tragically."
"Year after year, the number of people lost in the end is more than 10,000 or 20,000. Because if Tubo is not destroyed now, when Tubo comes back, countless people will inevitably be lost."
"Hatred has been forged and it is impossible to resolve it."
"So instead of being kind, it is better to be iron-blooded. Because kindness is false kindness, while iron-blooded is true kindness. You should give all kinds of preferential treatment to your own people, but only use iron-blooded methods to your enemies."
Li Jing smiled slightly, stroking his beard and said: "Of course, this is just my family's opinion. Whether the prince decides and adopts it depends on the prince himself."
Li Chengqian thought for a while and said: "Wei Guogong's analysis is actually similar to that of Mr. Wei Guo, and the general meaning is this. I myself agree. But as for the specific details and how to arrange it, I leave it to my father to decide.
"
Li Jing nodded and said: "In that case, the prince will arrange the letter."
"no problem!"
Li Chengqian nodded, it was nothing to do with his arrangement.
Immediately, Li Chengqian returned to his camp, wrote a letter and had it sent back to Chang'an quickly. When the news was sent to Chang'an, it was already early September. Li Shimin was overjoyed when he saw the contents of the letter.
Capture Ludongtsen, Songtsen Gampo, and all Tibetan soldiers.
This is a great achievement.
But Li Shimin frowned after reading all the contents of the letter. Because Li Chengqian mentioned the treatment of the Tubo people in the letter, and Li Chengqian himself also expressed his attitude, that is, in order to prevent future troubles and frighten the Tubo people, he would kill all
The Tubo people built a capital on the border to watch the demonstration.
The so-called Jingguan is built by piling up corpses.
This is a demonstration.
However, when the lives of tens of thousands of Tubo people were involved, Li Shimin could not make a decision. He immediately arranged for someone to summon Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji to discuss the matter.
After the three of them entered, Li Shimin handed the letter to the three of them to read. After the three of them finished reading, all three of them had bright smiles on their faces, and they were very excited.
Because this battle was won.
After winning the first battle, Tubo lost its foundation, especially its own Zanpu and Prime Minister were captured. This had a fatal impact on Tubo.
Li Shimin said: "Now that you have all seen it, let's talk about it, what are you going to do?"
Changsun Wuji thought for a while and then said directly: "Your Majesty, I agree with the prince's decision. Our current strength is already extremely strong. Tubo dares to coerce Datang and go to war with Datang. This must be dealt with. If
If we don’t kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, what will some small countries in the south think? So in this battle, we will completely kill these people to build the capital. The prince’s suggestion, I highly agree with it.”
Li Shimin nodded and said: "Xuanling, you are very resourceful, what suggestions do you have?"
Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, I remember that when the prince went to war with Duke Wei, the prince was accompanied by two eminent monks, Puji and Xuanzhao, and other monks from various temples in Chang'an. In the past, there were thirteen stick monks who helped your majesty.
.Nowadays, there are more than a hundred monks helping the prince, which is a good story. But at the same time, these monks go to teach the Dharma, which can also make the Tubo people admire the majesty of the Tang Dynasty. With these monks, we have our army, and
Having captured the Tibetan army, the right time and the right place and the right people did not destroy the Tibetans, but let the tigers return to the mountains. This would be a missed opportunity. Therefore, I believe that we can adopt the prince's suggestion and kill the Tubo people to build a palace in Beijing to establish their authority."
Du Ruhui said: "Your Majesty, I also agree."
Three people hold the same opinion.
A smile appeared on Li Shimin's angular face, and he said: "I didn't expect that this bastard's decision was unanimously approved by you. Well, since you all agree, then just follow the prince's suggestion.
All the Tubo people will be put to death, and then they will attack the Tibetans."
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
Everyone spoke together.
Changsun Wuji changed the topic and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Mr. Wang has returned to Chang'an."
"are you back?"
Li Shimin looked a little shocked and said in a deep voice: "I didn't get the news, and I thought Mr. Wang should be on the front line, but I didn't expect that he has already returned."
Changsun Wuji said: "According to the news I received, Mr. Wang used magic medicine to resolve the prince's illness after arriving at the front line. Immediately afterwards, Mr. Wang gave medicine to all the soldiers, which resolved the disease. Since then, Mr. Wang has given medicine to all the soldiers.
After that, all the soldiers were no longer affected by the epidemic. When the Tubo Jinbabu arranged for people to fight, Jinbabu was directly beaten to death by Mr. Wang with a stick. It can be said that this battle was all dependent on Mr. Wang."
Li Shimin sighed: "Wang Can is indeed of great help to the Tang Dynasty. His existence has made the Tang Dynasty so much stronger. If it weren't for Wang Can, the Tang Dynasty would have encountered a lot of troubles.
Things. If it weren’t for Wang Can, I would still be in a difficult situation in the Tang Dynasty. Especially this time, the prince here relied on Wang Can to achieve the current situation. From the father, to Guanyin and finally to the prince, I
This whole family relies on Wang Can!"
Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "Your Majesty said this, I am the same! My wife and my son Changsun Chong all rely on Wang Can. Without Wang Can, many things would be difficult to handle."
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui both nodded in agreement.
They all agreed with what Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji said, because Wang Can's existence was of great help to Datang.
Li Shimin said: "Since Wang Can is back, I will carry a small gift and go to pay a visit. After all, Cheng Qian's ability to survive this time is all due to Wang Can."
Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty is wise."
Regarding Li Shimin's arrangement, Changsun Wuji fully approved of it.
Li Shimin immediately replied to the letter to Li Chengqian and asked Changsun Wuji to send it. Then he got up and left the palace and went straight to the Wang family in Yongxingfang.
When Li Shimin arrived outside the king's house, the concierge took Li Shimin into the house without even reporting it. Li Shimin went straight to the study. When he saw Wang Can, he did not wait for Wang Can to salute, but took the initiative to bow to Wang Can and said:
"Mr. Wang, you rushed to the front line and saved Cheng Qian from death. All this is thanks to you. Not only that, hundreds of sick soldiers on the front line were also treated because of you, making the death of the soldiers difficult.
Being suppressed. Without Mr. Wang, the consequences would be disastrous."
"Thank you Mr. Wang."
Li Shimin thanked Wang Can very humbly.
Because of Wang Can, it was easy to attack Tubo. Otherwise, this battle would not have been so easy.
Wang Can smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this. After all, the prince is also my disciple. If he calls me sir, I naturally can't just sit back and do nothing. What's more, in the battle with Tubo, as a member of the Tang Dynasty, I will
It cannot be ignored."
Li Shimin said: "Mr. Wang is benevolent and righteous."
Wang Can changed the topic and continued: "Your Majesty, according to the arrangements of Manager Li, he will definitely be able to capture all the Tubo people in this battle, so it will involve the treatment of the Tubo people. How does your Majesty plan to deal with this?
"
Li Shimin said: "Mr. Wang, a letter from the prince was sent back earlier, saying that Tubo Songtsen Gampo, Lu Dongtsen and others had been captured alive, and all the Tibetan soldiers were captured. The prince was involved in the treatment of Tibet.
Please tell me how to deal with it. I and everyone have already discussed it. All the Tubo people will be killed in Beijing to watch the demonstration."
"Your Majesty handled it very appropriately!"
Wang Can had a smile on his face, full of approval.
For Wang Can, destroying Tubo is the best arrangement. Because the existence of Tubo is really unnecessary. Since the Tang Dynasty is a unified empire, then the four directions of the world, as long as it is an area that the Tang Dynasty can capture, will naturally
Got them all.
Seeing that Wang Can agreed, Li Shimin said no more. He talked about some government affairs and some government arrangements, then said goodbye and left.
After all, Li Shimin came here mainly to express his gratitude.
Now that he has finished thanking him, Li Shimin has gone back, and Li Shimin still has many things to arrange in his hands.
