Li Yunze has been through too many battlefields, and the cruel scenes before him cannot affect his mind.
Looking at the mountains of loot, he asked the captains to arrange for manpower to transport them to Broken Leaf City.
Looking at the countless prisoners, he arranged for the school lieutenants to send people to sort them out. Those with status would be packed and transported away. The final destination was Chang'an City to sign up for singing and dancing classes. Those without status were temporarily left to work as coolies, and the final destination was also
Mines everywhere and in the South
of plantations.
Looking at the corpses all over the place, he asked the captains to organize all the prisoners to be buried to avoid causing an epidemic.
Looking at the countless wounded, he urged the captains to do their best to treat them. They were all valuable assets. If the injuries were serious and could not be treated, then their suffering should be put to an end as soon as possible.
One thing after another, while properly arranging things, the most important thing is to make a decision as soon as possible so that the subordinates know what to do.
Cheng Yaojin, who was following not far away, was still educating his son with earnest words. He should study hard and watch well. This was the most precious battlefield experience.
Li Er had the courage to establish virtuous people rather than direct heirs, but he, Cheng Yaojin, did not dare to do this in the Cheng Mansion.
For him, the stable inheritance of the family is more important than anything else.
No matter how slow Cheng Chu learns silently, he still has to teach slowly.
No matter how quickly Cheng Chuliang learned, he would not dare to regard him as his successor.
All I can say is that every family has sutras that are difficult to recite.
After getting in touch with the Suiye defenders, Li Yunze marched into Suiye City without hesitation and issued various orders to the defenders very straightforwardly.
In terms of organization, Sui Ye's garrison belongs to Su Dingfang's command, and can be called the First Army, the Northern Route Army, or anything else.
Li Yunze was able to tell them what to do, and they were willing to obey orders. Naturally, it was not because Li Yunze was once their commander in the army, but because of his outstanding military exploits!
When they go to the battlefield, the sergeants have only one request for their generals, which is to lead them to victory.
If I can win, I'll listen to you. If I can't, the emperor will collapse in front of you.
Sergeants are very realistic, because the bargaining chip they pay on the battlefield is their own lives.
In this case, the one who can lead them to victory and survive is Tian.
For thousands of years, many generals have relied on this ability to sit on the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Plan.
In fact, even Li Er relied on this to reach the top.
If he hadn't gained military power by virtue of his military exploits and obtained the mansion of General Tiance, why would he have launched the Xuanwumen Revolution?
I really think that the defenders and Li Jiancheng's Donggong Liuliu are scarecrows.
Among the princes in the past dynasties who rebelled, only Li Er and Zhu Di succeeded. The reason is that they were killed on the battlefield and had military power.
However, what puzzled the Zuiye defenders was that after the siege, Li Yunze did not rush north to Yili to rescue Su Dingfang. Instead, he slowly rectified military affairs and cleaned up the surrounding area, and used all his troops to beat the sudden cavalry.
Compared to Su Dingfang's army being dragged in the Ili Valley, Tu Qishi was nothing.
However, here in Suiye, the only person who could equal Li Yunze in terms of status was Cheng Yaojin, but Cheng Yaojin said nothing about this, so others were naturally not qualified to raise their own doubts.
The military is the least democratic place. As the commander-in-chief, Li Yunze cannot move, and there is nothing anyone can do.
As for Li Er, who was far away in Chang'an City, although he could communicate via telegram, he said nothing about it, as if Su Dingfang's 100,000 troops were not worth mentioning.
Even if a captain had the courage to ask why he didn't rescue Su Dingfang, Li Yunze would just say, 'They can still hold on.'
This bold captain is called Xue Li and Xue Rengui.
"General."
Xue Rengui obviously couldn't accept this explanation. He immediately asked, "I don't understand."
"Because you are just a captain, so you don't understand."
Li Yunze waved his hand, "The captain only needs to do his job well and don't interfere with things that are not your turn. I am just saying a few words to you today to remind you, but it does not mean that you are really qualified to ask."
"War is a continuation of politics, and sometimes certain things do not necessarily need to be decided on the battlefield. Many times, many things have already determined the outcome on the battlefield before going to the battlefield."
There is no doubt that Xue Rengui was confused and confused.
He is still too young and lacks experience, so he doesn't understand the truth.
Li Yunze didn't expect him to understand, he just gave a few tips out of good intentions.
The real reason is not something that the generals can know, because Datang is secretly making deals with Xue Yantuo's tribe.
At this time, in the distant Japanese country, the murderous Hou Junji, who had become increasingly murderous, shocked the entire Japanese country with bloody and brutal massacres.
There was a lot of noise, but Goguryeo was always just bluffing along the border. The Tang Dynasty had already seen through the nature of Goguryeo.
The chieftains of Jiannan Road were massacred, and they were already frightened out of their wits.
The Tubo soldiers and horses that harassed various places in Shu and Longyou were also repelled one after another.
Things on these secondary battlefields may not be important, but when the news that Li Yunze swept through the four towns of Anxi and defeated the main Tibetan army reached Xue Yantuo and other troops, it caused a sensation like a tsunami.
According to the original plan of the coalition forces, the Tubo people were the most important force.
They were supposed to sweep through all parts of Anxi, cut off the supply lines of the Tang army, and then go north with the nine surnames of Zhaowu and various miscellaneous Hus, encircle the main force of the Tang army in Su Dingfang, and then eat the Tang army with their overwhelming numerical superiority.
But now, the Tubo people were defeated like a mountain. The much-anticipated reinforcements did not arrive. Instead, reinforcements from the Tang army arrived.
Xue Yantuo and other tribesmen, who knew that the Tang Dynasty was powerful, had already thought of running away.
Li Yunze stood still because he wanted to retain their idea of "bringing down Su Dingfang and eating him after running out of supplies" and prevent them from escaping early.
As long as Li Yunze's reinforcements are dispatched, the Western Turks Huihe Xue Yantuo and other troops will immediately run away.
The Xue Yantuo tribe knew very well that the situation was over now, so they secretly contacted Datang to escape.
This is the case between countries. Today's allies can become tomorrow's opponents on the battlefield. The only criterion for determining a position is whether it is beneficial to oneself.
The secret comings and goings were very secretive. It was not until Tang Jian sent a telegram from Xue Yantuo's camp that Li Yunze learned that Li Er had actually sent Tang Jian to Xue Yantuo's camp.
There is no doubt that Li Er was a very decisive emperor.
When he sensed the opportunity to devour the main forces of the Western Turks and Uighurs in one fell swoop, he immediately agreed to all Xue Yantuo's requests, and even agreed to marry the princess.
Li Yunze didn't have any objections to anything else, except that he was dissatisfied with marrying a princess.
He sent a telegram to Li Er very simply, expressing his opposition.
Li Er's call back only contained one sentence.
'A slow-down strategy.'
Both Li Er and Li Yunze knew very well how vast the northwest was, and even if they spread hundreds of thousands of Tang troops, it would be a drop in the bucket.
Once the main forces of the Western Turks and Uighurs choose to flee, they will be pursued to the end of the world if they are pursued across the vast land.
Now that Xue Yantuo wants to protect himself and betray his teammates, he must seize this opportunity firmly.
Not to mention that Xue Yantuo wanted to work as a hawk and dog for the Tang Dynasty, even if their khan said that he wanted to make a "Khan of the Earth" Dangdang, Li Er would not hesitate to canonize him.
Just stabilize them and ensure that the Western Turks and Uighurs can be eliminated.
Naturally, Li Er's action was not only to stabilize Xue Yantuo, but also the reinforcements led by Yuchi Jingde, Xue Wanche and others also arrived at Suiye by bypassing the mountain pass through the southern line of Tianshan Mountain.
Also coming with the reinforcements was Du Ruhui, the marching commander.
"This is your Majesty's imperial edict sent urgently from Chang'an City." Du Ruhui, with a solemn face, summoned the lieutenant generals and captains of the army, including reinforcements, and read out Li Er's imperial edict in public.
There is only one core meaning of the imperial edict, which is to appoint Li Yunze as the Grand Protector of the Anxi Protectorate, commanding all the Tang troops in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains at this time.
At this time, there were many soldiers and horses from all walks of life on the battlefield, including Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin and other high-status local generals.
Therefore, clearly determining the command authority is the most important thing at the moment.
Along with the imperial edict came the tiger talisman and seal, and even Li Er's sword.
The original name of Li Er's sword was Long Yuan Sword. To avoid the taboo of Li Yuan's name, it was renamed Long Quan Sword.
The only reason why the swords were sent was to intimidate the veterans.
It is really not uncommon for people to cause trouble based on their status and qualifications.
Normally, you can tolerate it and condone it. But at this critical moment when it comes to resolving the northwest issue through World War I, Li Er will never allow it.
In fact, if it weren't for those wealthy businessmen from wealthy families taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, Li Er would definitely come over on his own.
The right to command was clarified, and the imperial tiger talisman seal and Shang Fang's sword were obtained.
The origin of Shang Fang Sword was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, and his sword was called Shang Fang Sword. When later emperors followed suit, no matter what their swords were called, they were basically called Shang Fang Sword.
When Li Yunze raised the commander's flag, Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin and others stood with solemn faces and saluted.
With them taking the lead, others would naturally be more afraid to explode.
As for why these veteran generals and princes are willing to surrender, of course it is not just because of the imperial decree and the Tiger Talisman Emperor Sword, but also because of Li Yunze's brilliant military exploits in the past when he traveled thousands of miles and wiped out the four towns in Anxi.
"Everyone."
Li Yunze, who was sitting at the top, had no intention of talking nonsense, "Tomorrow I will prepare food at Mao hour and send troops at Chen time!"
"only!!!"
This time the troops were sent out with great emphasis on speed, so they only brought cavalry.
Du Ruhui stayed in Suiye to coordinate logistics, while Cheng Yaojin stayed in charge of local defense.
Since his son Cheng Chumo followed him into the army, Cheng Yaojin naturally had nothing to say.
The Western Turks and Uighurs actually wanted to negotiate peace with the Tang Dynasty, even if they wanted to serve as hawks for the Tang Dynasty.
After all, after confirming the defeat of the Tibetan reinforcements, everyone knew that this whole-world attack on the Tang Dynasty was unwinnable.
The three families secretly contacted Datang and wanted to betray their allies in exchange for the continuation of their tribes.
It's just that Li Er chose Xue Yantuo in the end.
Of course, the corresponding strategic deception has not stopped, and sporadic negotiations with them are still ongoing.
The Western Turks and Uighurs, however, used the Tang army that was dragged in the Ili Valley as a bargaining chip, and wanted to exchange for better bargaining chips, such as listening to the instructions rather than listening to the propaganda, such as gaining more mutual markets, etc.
Through private contacts one after another, the position of their royal court was gradually discovered.
At the same time, because the reinforcements of the Tang Dynasty had not yet moved, their vigilance was inevitably gradually relaxed.
When Li Yunze led tens of thousands of Tang cavalry around the vast desert of Yibohai, crossed the Duotan Mountains, and suddenly appeared near Tacheng, they were immediately stunned.
After all, when it comes to using tricks, these nomadic tribes are completely incomparable to Middle-earth.
