Chapter 505 Family

King Wu Li Ke woke up at night. When King Wu Li Ke woke up, he was already lying on a warm blanket. This was the marching blanket of Li Xiang's army. Although it was incomparable with pure wool, in such an environment Among them, that is already quite good.

When Xue Yantuo's army retreated, they left a lot of things in their camp. Li Xiang ordered all the wood they left behind to be chopped down, and then lit a bonfire at night so that our soldiers could keep warm. It rained continuously. , the temperature has reached below zero. If there is no fire, most of the soldiers will probably catch a cold at night.

"Your Highness, we have captured a total of 10,700 of their people and killed 6,500 of them. The remaining people have retreated to the northwest and are currently fifty miles away."

King Wu Li Ke heard Su Dingfang's voice in a daze. Unexpectedly, in just one day, Li Xiang's army had already achieved such results. They had already used all their strength here, and they were unable to repel Xue Yantuo's army. .

"Just let them run away. If we pursue now, we will be reluctant to divide our troops into several places. When they retreat along the way, they will definitely take away everything they can. By then, as long as we find Xue Yantuo Khan, then we will They took away the wealth of the entire prairie.”

Li Xiang doesn't like to divide his troops to pursue. Firstly, our people are not safe enough after being separated. Secondly, we don't bother to do such low-level things as robbery. Let Xue Yantuo Khan help us do it. In the end, we only need to rob him. , which not only saves time and effort, but also preserves our reputation.

"Your Highness, you are awake."

A young eunuch said happily that this person was the eunuch serving King Wu. The prince also took the eunuch with him when he went out, but Li Xiang had no such idea, so Li Xiang never took him with him.

"Third uncle, are you awake?"

Hearing Li Xiang's title, Wu King Li Ke had mixed feelings in his heart. He had already regarded Li Xiang as his enemy, and during this period of time, he was in a daze, thinking that he could also make contributions, and did not take into account those outside. Human life and death.

If Li Xiang came over and made sarcastic comments, Wu Wang Li Ge would still feel more comfortable. But now when he heard Li Xiang's words "third uncle", the corners of Wu Wang Li Ke's eyes were wet. He can be regarded as a man of iron bones, leading people here. He persisted for several days without shedding a single tear, but when he heard these two words now, he felt like he was about to shed tears.

"Don't move, don't move, don't move. You have a lot of wounds on your body. When I bandaged you, it took me almost an hour. In the next time, you'd better lie down and go. Get some meat porridge."

When Li Xiang saw Li Ge getting up, he quickly let him lie down.

Now is the time for the wound to recover. King Wu has been lying down all day. If he gets up now, the newly scarred area will be useless.

"those people……"

"Don't worry, those people have been properly accommodated. My men have bandaged their wounds, but more than a thousand people cannot be saved. The wounds on their bodies are too deep..."

When this topic was brought up, the atmosphere in the tent became a little sad. It was very difficult for seriously injured people in any era. Even if Li Xiang's soldiers had medical kits, they could not save these seriously injured people.

"Don't worry, Third Uncle, take good care of yourself. You fought a tough battle here. We have all seen the traces of the battle around you. We also know from the prisoners' mouths that you and your men fought very hard. , you did not embarrass our Datang, leave the rest to us."

The purpose of Li Xiang's words was to acknowledge Wu Wang Li Ge's contribution and let his opponent acknowledge his own contribution. This is an extremely satisfying thing for anyone. Li Xiang has studied human nature thoroughly and thoroughly What I want to hear most at this moment is this sentence. Let him be happy and the wounds on his body can heal better. Why not? What's more, what we said is the truth. They really didn't give it. The Tang Dynasty was disgraceful, and there were not many people who would not surrender even in a deadly battle.

King Wu Li Ke wanted to say a few words, but his body was too weak, so he nodded. After the little eunuch fed him a few mouthfuls, he fell into a deep sleep again, but now he slept very peacefully. He knew that Li Xiang was there. Next to him, no matter how powerful Xue Yantuo's army is, it is impossible to cause harm to them.

After watching my king fall asleep, Li Xiang faced the loss in front of him, and there was an evil fire in his heart. On the one hand, it was because King Wu was greedy for success, and on the other hand, it was also because of Li Shimin's hesitation. Otherwise, how could it be possible? Will we lose 20,000 soldiers?

You must know that Li Xiang led his troops to destroy the entire Goguryeo, and only lost 10,000 people. How long have you been here now? Twenty thousand people were lost like this. How many people do you think we have in the Tang Dynasty?

"We must keep a good count of these fallen soldiers and give them good pensions after they return. In addition, those who can still fight will be incorporated into my army. If anyone in the court dares to speak, I will personally go and explain to him. "

Li Xiang has already exceeded his authority by doing such a thing, but at this moment Li Xiang is a little angry, and Niu Jinda and Su Dingfang are also very angry. This is all caused by the court. If you can let us set off five days earlier, this matter will be fine. Can't happen.

"Your Highness, we have captured a dozen Turkic nobles."

The voice reporting from outside came in again.

"Since you have surrendered and don't want to help me, the Tang Dynasty, guard the border, what use are you people? Take them to the nearby tribes and kill them on the spot. Give me all the young men from each tribe. Gather together, if they don't fight bravely on the battlefield, I will kill their whole family immediately."

Li Xiang issued several orders in succession. Li Xiang was also extremely angry at the Turks' rebellion. In the future, there would be more and more vassal states in the Tang Dynasty. Whenever such a thing happened, he would kill each one until You people, stop being afraid, otherwise those vassal countries will still cause chaos in the future.

"I will obey your orders!"

Li Xiang gave the order, and dozens of cavalry teams left the camp. Their purpose was to bring dozens of nearby Turkic tribes with them, just to show them the determination of the Tang Dynasty. Your king ran away. , but there are still young and strong men in your tribe, and they must go with the army...
