The Tang army achieved a brilliant victory, occupying six cities at once and controlling the owner of the cities, Takahashi Daimyo.
After Tang Jun's investigation, it was found that none of the city lords were good people, but this famous name was pretty good, so he was able to stay and do the work of appeasement.
Xu Yunyan arranged for a Tang Army general to lead more than a hundred Tang soldiers to garrison the other cities. All other combat forces were gathered together and watched over by the Tang Army's barracks, ready to be used as cannon fodder and pushed to new battlefields at any time.
Xu Yunyan, Li Chengqian and the remaining generals gathered together and looked at the fence outside the temporary camp, where the honest Japanese army did not know what they were thinking about.
However, Li Chengqian asked Xu Yunyan.
"Is Master really driving them to capture the city? This always makes me feel uneasy."
As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking about his worries, everyone looked at Li Chengxian with great curiosity and asked what Li Chengqian meant.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Why are you so sentimental? Since ancient times, conquering cities and territories has been done at the cost of human lives."
Cheng Yaojin is straight-tempered and his son is also straight-tempered, but after going out to fight here, I think he has grown up, and what he said is very reasonable.
??????????????????However, just after Cheng Chumo asked this sentence, the other generals in front of him looked at Li Chengqian curiously, wondering what Li Chengqian was going to say, and Li Chengqian looked at them and said.
“Didn’t Master always teach us that in a war between our two countries, the top priority is to attack the heart and the bottom priority is to attack the city?
Since we have so many soldiers, we can just besiege the enemy's cities one by one and ask them to surrender. Why do we let these people with parents, wives and children fight needlessly?
What if their parents really lost their sons, their children lost their fathers, their wives lost their husbands, and the pillars of their family collapsed because of our affairs? "
Li Chengqian's sudden indecision made everyone present a little stunned.
Xu Yunyan looked at him a little speechless.
"Your Highness, are you being too kind to a woman?
You think about their wives, children, old and young every day, don't you think about the ordinary people in Chuzhou by the sea, how happy they live?
It used to be enjoyable, but what about now? "
When Xu Yunyan said this, Li Chengqian lowered his head.
"But this is a minority."
"A few people? Your Highness, now that we have attacked their land, do you think they will remember this hatred after we withdraw? Will their descendants remember our fathers who enslaved them? , killing their relatives?
Wait until they have the chance to strike a fatal blow at us? I don’t want them to bite us again after they become strong. They have been learning from us now, and they will learn some amazing skills from us from time to time. As time goes by, will you ensure that they are not as strong as us?
That's when casualties occur! How many heroes who defend their home and country will sacrifice their lives and shed their blood just because a woman's kindness spared them this time? Although I believe that Datang will continue to be strong and not afraid of any challenges! "
Xu Yunyan here explained the situation at hand to Li Chengqian in a step-by-step and coaxing manner, while Li Chengqian looked at Xu Yunyan and said here.
"I always feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable in my heart. I really feel that they are so weak. Can they really be a nuisance to me, the Tang Dynasty?"
Xu Yunyan looked at Li Chen and didn't know what to say for a moment, but Changsun Chong was indeed a child with literary skills.
"Has His Highness the Crown Prince forgotten about Qin?"
"Qin?" Changsun Chong's words made Li Chengqian confused. He looked at Changsun Chong and waited for the answer.
Changsun Chong lived up to expectations and immediately started talking here.
"At the beginning of Qin's founding, they were just a horseman, which was quite weak. However, they were determined to strengthen themselves and were able to unify the six kingdoms."
What Chang Sun Chong said finally made Li Chengqian take it seriously.
"Yes! My country, the Tang Dynasty, was relatively weak before, but under the rule of my father, the Turks of Beiding were restored to the prosperous age of the Han and Tang Dynasties."
Li Chengqian now understood the priorities of the matter, and no longer cared about how Xu Yunyan arranged them. He just watched the Japanese people fighting and stumbling cautiously in the camp, not knowing what to do, and sighed again.
"I don't know how their wives, children, and children are doing. Are you worried about them?"
Xu Yunyan said again, "Your Highness, you just think too much. Their wives, children, young and old are worried about them. That is human nature.
But as long as we turn all the Japanese countries into our Datang counties, they will be able to live as happy a life as our Datang people.
At that time, they will be grateful instead of worrying here. Even if their children, their husbands, and their fathers die on the battlefield, they will still be able to receive relief from our Tang Dynasty to ensure that they have enough food and clothing. "
When Xu Yunyan said this, Li Chengqian finally let go of his knot.
"Master has arranged everything, but as a prince alone, I want to lead the troops in an operation. I wonder if Master can agree?"
Xu Yunyan looked at Li Chengqian, "His Royal Highness is here. All the credit for the Japanese country belongs to His Highness. There is no need for His Highness to take risks personally. It is better to sit in the middle of the army and strategize and win decisively thousands of miles away."
It's not that I'm worried about His Highness the Crown Prince, but that His Highness the Crown Prince is the hope of the people of Ming Dynasty. He can't go out at will. If something unexpected happens, even if we turn the Japanese country into Datang counties, it won't be enough to make up for the loss of the Tang Dynasty. Loss. "
Li Chengqian still had some knots in his heart just now, but he was finally told to let go by Changsun Chong, Xu Yunyan and others, but now he has another knot in his mind when he wants to lead the army, but Xu Yunyan doesn't agree, which makes Li Chengqian a little at a loss here.
Xu Yunyan looked at Li Chengqian and continued to explain, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is suitable for generals but not generals. You have to position yourself correctly. Now we have so many good generals in the Tang Dynasty. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, only needs to arrange their positions properly. Really By the time His Highness the Crown Prince goes into battle, our country, the Tang Dynasty, is already in dire straits."
Xu Yunyan continued to teach Li Chengqian here, and Li Chengqian looked at Xu Yunyan.
"I understand everything Master said. It's true that when there is a war, I am a general of the Tang Dynasty. How can I not go to the battlefield in person?"
"Has His Highness the Crown Prince forgotten Zhang Liang of the Han Dynasty? He also strategized and won a decisive victory thousands of miles away, and I, Zhuge Wuhou of the Han Dynasty, were not all generals who could win a decisive victory thousands of miles away?"
Although nothing Li Chengqian said here was recognized, just when Li Chengqian bowed his head to admit his mistake and felt that he would not cause any more trouble, Li Chengcheng suddenly came to him.
"Your Highness, why don't we two go out secretly? With the name of His Highness and hundreds of soldiers, no one will object, right? We attack a city with a blitz. I don't know what His Highness wants. ?”
What Li Chengcheng said made Li Chengqian's eyes light up.
"Great, I didn't expect you to have such thoughts. It was all your idea. I don't have to be lectured by my master. You, the prince of the county, are my master's brother-in-law after all, so you must treat me well." Waiting."
Originally Li Chengcheng wanted to encourage Li Chengqian to lead the army, but he followed Li Chengqian's lead, but he didn't expect that he would turn around and become the scapegoat.
Then Li Chengcheng was a little unhappy, but now that Li Chengqian had spoken, even if he was happy or not, having the opportunity to go out made Li Chengcheng quite happy.
When the on-site meeting was dismissed, the generals who were supposed to train soldiers and prepare battle plans to expand the Japanese territory studied their own plans. Those who had nothing to do were polishing weapons and practicing martial arts, ready to wait until the war started. Li Chengcheng usually came up with a fighting general first and killed those Japanese who dared to show off their power in front of him, thus boosting the morale of the Tang Dynasty.
While everyone was doing their own things here, Li Chengqian and Li Chengcheng gathered together and began to discuss whose troops they should choose to go out with them.
Now there is no need to think about the young generals Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Chumo who are commanding the Tang army. Yuchi Baolin is a good choice. As for Changsun Chong?
He was directly excluded by the two of them. Although he was dressed like a military commander, he looked like Li Chengcheng with thin arms and legs, but he did not have the force of Li Chengcheng.
With the goal in mind, Li Chengqian, Li Chengcheng and Yuchi Baolin talked about it, and Yuchi Baolin hurriedly agreed with both hands.
Even if he struggled to go home and was grounded by his father, or after winning a great victory, he was imprisoned by the master Xu Yunyan who they left behind at the same time. He would admit it.
】
He is a general who goes out to fight, but if you ask him to command hundreds of troops every day, isn't this a joke? There is no war at all, and even if he wants to serve his country, he has no chance.
That night, when it was dark and windy, Xu Yunyan inspected the camp again, and suddenly felt as if something was missing in the camp.
"I remember that the garrison in the southwest corner is Yuchi Baolin, but where are the people in the southwest corner?"
Xu Yunyan scratched his head with some confusion and went to the camp of Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu and others. Yuchi Baolin had always been with them.
But as soon as Xu Yunyan arrived outside the camp, he heard the sound of sleeping soundly, and the light inside the camp reflected a figure, reading a book next to the battalion commander.
Such a scene made Xu Yunyan couldn't help but feel that it was so disharmonious, but he still didn't say anything more, opened the tent and walked in.
Cheng Chumo was sound asleep there, while Qin Huaiyu was holding a book and reading there. Seeing Xu Yunyan come in, Qin Huaiyu was startled and stood up hurriedly.
"Master, why don't you rest?"
Xu Yunyan did not answer but asked Qin Huaiyu why he didn't rest. Qin Huaiyu raised the book in his hand.
"I want to know the nature and customs of the Japanese people, so that I can better arrange them and let them return to the Tang Dynasty."
Looking at the Japanese books in Qin Huaiyu's hand, Xu Yunyan gave him a thumbs up, sat down randomly, and discussed the Japanese affairs with Qin Huaiyu here, completely forgetting that he came to the camp to ask Yuchi where Baolin was.
After Cheng Chumo's snoring became louder and louder, Xu Yunyan looked at Qin Huaiyu, who was in the same camp as Cheng Chumo, and said something.
"How about I change your camp for you? Look at how noisy this guy is. He can't even sleep even if he wants to, right?"
"It doesn't matter."
Qin Huaiyu suddenly laughed and then, while Xu Yunyan was stunned, he directly stretched his foot towards Yu Cheng Chumo's head and kicked him hard.
There was a click, which startled Xu Yunyan.
"You are so strong, aren't you afraid of breaking his neck?"
While Xu Yunyan was stunned here, Cheng Chumo suddenly sat up from the bed.
"What happened?"
Looking at Qin Huaiyu and Xu Yunyan looking at him in front of him, Cheng Chumo rubbed his eyes.
"What's wrong? Is it dawn yet? Is there any military operation? I'm going to get up right now?"
