"chaos?"

"He wants to be a prince. He wants to be a free-for-read-complete-version, please search on Baidu-"

Li Mu laughed silently and said, "Did you exaggerate a little? Where can I be the king of the princes? Just relying on the little people in Zhangjiazhai? I don't think it's possible."

"Don't underestimate your father-in-law. He is not a simple person. If he hadn't gone astray back then, his achievements today would never be inferior to me. In short, I'll tell you everything I guessed in my heart. Just be sure of it and don't let him get intimidated."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Since he is my father-in-law, he can't get rid of it. I know, it's actually the same, but thank you for your adoptive father-in-law's reminder. If necessary, I will have a good chat with my father-in-law."

...

Li Mu sighed, but still couldn't figure out what Zhang Xun wanted to do. But there was something in front of him, waiting for his decision.

The square of the palace was full of detained people. Everyone was tied with their hands behind their backs, and another soldier was watching over them, kneeling in the square.

Li Mu stood on the steps of the palace and looked at the people below. Li Siwen walked over, handed him a list, and whispered: "Brother, these people are all related to the bloodline of the Gaochang royal family. Ju Wentai's brothers, nephews, uncles and other direct blood relatives are all here."

Li Mu flipped it around casually and asked, "Where are the officials waiting?"

"I can't hold it here, I'm all outside."

Li Mu threw the roster back to Li Siwen, stretched his body, and said, "Forget it, I won't look at it anymore, kill them all."

"Kill?" Li Siwen's eyes widened. He swallowed and reminded carefully: "Brother, there must be thousands of people here, all of them were killed?"

"Yes, kill them all."

Although Li Chongyi is a bloodthirsty person, it is on the battlefield. These people are no longer able to resist. Li Mu still wants to kill him. He couldn't help but say, "Brother, I don't understand. Didn't you tell me that if you don't kill, you won't kill? Why do you do it yourself-"

Li Mu sighed and said, "Come on, you two listen carefully, I will tell you the rules of killing or not."

"On the battlefield, when two armies fight, killing the enemy is important, but compared to killing, defeat is more important. What we need to do is to defeat the opponent first so that the opponent cannot form an effective counterattack, so that we will be safer and more energy-saving. If we waste a lot of physical strength in order to kill a few more heads, let the enemy recover and then organize an attack on us, our casualties will eventually be greater. Moreover, after the defeat, the remnants of their troops will be used by me, even if they are used to feed the horses, will be helpful to me, so it is said that if we can not kill, we will not kill."

"In fact, if you don't rush to kill this time, you can't kill it, but now you must kill it and you can't show mercy."

Li Siwen frowned and said, "Why is this?"

"It's very simple," Li Mu said seriously: "Because the enemy we are about to face is the Western Turks. The strength of the Western Turks is even more above us. We must solve all hidden dangers and prepare for the war before fighting against the Western Turks!"

"And now Gaochang King Ju Wentai and his successor Ju Zhisheng are both dead. This is the best time for my Tang Dynasty to conquer Gaochang. I will kill all those who can succeed Gaochang King, and Gaochang will become a homeless land and belong to my Tang Dynasty!"

Seeing that Li Siwen was still about to speak, Li Mu said coldly: "Don't think that only Ju Wentai and Ju Zhisheng were colluding with the Western Turks in Gaochang. None of them are innocent, they are all people who oppose the Tang Dynasty. As Tang people and Tang generals, we should prioritize the interests of the Tang Dynasty. You must understand this!"

Li Mu's voice slowed down: "I also found out that after King Ju Wentai of Gaochang ascended the throne, in order to satisfy his own selfish desires, he imposed heavy taxes on the people of Gaochang. The people were already dissatisfied with it, but they were unable to do so. Some princes and nobles were not satisfied with the plunder of fiefs, so they forced the people to sign contracts for sale, loan notes, etc. to make them work and pay back their debts. The people were in great suffering. If the Tang Dynasty wanted to quickly gain the loyalty of the people and kill these nobles, it was the fastest and most effective way!"

"Brother——"

Li Siwen is kind-hearted. Although Li Mu has made the reason and everyone can stand, he still can't bear it. But Li Mu is no longer willing to listen. As the head coach, he should have his own decision. If everyone obeys every opinion, he can't do anything.

Li Mu pulled out Shangfang's sword and said, "Ju Zhisheng killed his father and seized power and colluded with foreign clans. His heart could be punished, and his actions could be punished. When the royal army arrived, he knew that his sins were serious and had committed suicide. If you are the powerful and powerful Gaochang, you will help the evildoer to abuse, and your crimes will be inevitable. You will pass on this marquis order, and the male members of the book were killed, and the female family was put on armor and used as slaves, and your family was confiscated. Tomorrow morning, all the people who had heart to join the Tang Dynasty can receive a settlement fee in each notice in the city to make up for the exploitation of the powerful Gaochang's many years of exploitation of the people!"

"kill!"

With Li Mu's order, the soldiers raised their swords and fell, and blood flowed from the square!

...

The news of Li Mu's murder soon reached Hou Junji and Li Ji's ears. The two of them rushed over, but it was too late, thousands of heads fell to the ground, and there were corpses everywhere. But strangely, no one dared to cry because they were already scared.

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, there have been fewer cases of pitting and killing. Even if the foreign races invaded the Southern and Northern Dynasties, as long as the Han people expressed their surrender, there would be no massacres. However, this happened again today. Everyone in Gaochang was in danger, for fear that they would cry out loud, and the next moment, the butcher knife would be placed on their necks.

Li Mu was holding a burning torch in his hand. Opposite him, Li Chongyi was pouring buckets of tincture oil on these corpses, on the wall, and on the palace. Hou Junji and Li Ji came hurriedly. When Li Mu saw them, he greeted them with a smile, and threw them away. The fire suddenly rose into the air along with the tincture oil, emitting a burnt smell.

"Li Mu, do you know that you have caused a big disaster?" Li Ji said with a heartache and said, "Why didn't I realize that you are such a cold-blooded person! How can you do it?"

"Enjoyed Father, what's wrong with me?" Li Mu said seriously: "I didn't kill the elderly, weak, women and children. All I killed were adult men. They were all enemies who resisted my Tang Dynasty, keep them, and there were endless troubles. We are about to fight with the Western Turks, so keep them on fire in the backyard?"

"Then you must not kill him without suing him!"

Li Mu pointed to his Shangfang Sword and said, "In fact, I have this power."

"But at least you have to be courted and prove your crimes. Only in this way can you be justified and evidenced and give examples to the countries in the Western Regions-"

"Entertainment Father!" Li Mu interrupted Li Ji and said, "Mu thought that instead of being a false benevolence and righteousness, it is better to go straight and do it as soon as you want. What are the excuses to do? I will take all the responsibilities with all my strength. I don't have to worry about the adoptive father and General Hou!"
