"The Chief of the Commander is back, the Chief of the Commander is back!" Tang Bing, who was patrolling in front of Lu Chai, saw Li Kuo galloping in the breeze and shouted loudly.
Even the young man himself didn't know that his deeds were exaggerated and spread, and they spread in the Longyou Army. Whether it was an old man who had been in the army for more than ten years or a new recruit who had just joined the army, they were all for him.
Heroic deeds are praised at the intersection.
Whether it was the battle of the Great Wall Castle with the Modao Formation and the Fire Horse Formation that defeated the Tubo army with its plot and courage, or the magical stroke of pretending to be Tubo cavalry on the west bank of Qinghai to seize Fushicheng, the young man had become the god of war in everyone's hearts.
Li Kuo did not think about the ideas of these soldiers. He jumped off the horse and then took a step towards the camp.
The garrison soldiers came forward to lead Qingfeng to the temporary stable to feed the night food. The soldiers who had never been to the battlefield looked at Li Kuo with envy and admiration.
Who says that famous generals must come from aristocratic families? Who says that young people cannot be granted marquis and ministers?
Didn’t Li Duwei just hold a three-foot green breeze at the age of seventeen and make extraordinary achievements for the Tang Dynasty?
When people live in this world, they all break through the road entrances themselves!
The den where Gao Xiuyan was located was located in the middle of Pingyuan. Li Kuo came to the tent smoothly under the guidance of a personal soldier. He gently lifted up the curtain made of white curtains, and the young man strided in.
An oil lamp was burning inside the den, and the marching commander Gao Xiuyan was discussing something with his third brother Li Zigu. The generals present also had two confidants under him.
Gao Xiuyan turned around when he heard the sound of movement. Seeing Li Kuo step into the tent, he waved his hand and said, "Emperor Li, come over and talk."
When Li Kuo heard what he said was quite serious, he was slightly stunned, bowed his hand, and walked to Gao Xiuyan's side.
"Vice Li Du, I heard that you issued a strict order to not leave surrendered troops and kill them without any refusal?" A black line floated across Gao Xiuyan's forehead, and his voice was filled with obvious dissatisfaction.
Li Kuo's heart sank. What should come is coming. But he had just wiped out the Tubo army, and someone reported the situation to Gao Xiuyan. Could it be that he had installed an informant beside him?
Thinking so much in my heart, the young man dared not be negligent about Gao Xiuyan.
"Report to Gao Shuai, these barbarians have killed so many of our robes, and the villagers should be killed!"
"Nonsense!" Gao Xiuyan was so angry that his beard trembled, pointing at Li Kuo's nose and said, "What do you want me to say to you? As the commander of the First Battalion of the Tang Dynasty, do you not even know the military rules? The Tang Dynasty did not kill surrendered generals.
The defeated soldier, how can I explain to the court when you asked me to do this recklessly?"
Seeing that he had such a bad attitude, the anger in his heart suddenly surged.
"Didn't Gao Shuai tell me not to let a barbarian go? These Tubo people have legs. What if they run away one and a half of them in the random situation, will Gao Shuai ask me if he doesn't want to take care of me?"
Gao Xiuyan laughed in anger and said, "Okay, okay, I can't control you if your wings are hard, right? Do you not even tie up the prisoners' hands and feet? You have five thousand elite cavalry in your hands, which can make only a few hundred prisoners of war.
Slide away from under your nose?”
"I only know that dead people will never slip away. I only know that I didn't let a Tubo barbarian go to Jiuqu City to report the news!"
The boy was also a stubborn temper and replied head-on.
Seeing that the two of them were getting more and more angry, Li Zigu hurriedly shook his head and advised: "Gao Shuai, I can't help but see Qilang. He has so many robes under his command, and it is inevitable that there will be people who are not subject to the control. The Tubo barbarians are violent by nature and kill them.
It’s better to have it, otherwise it will be a disaster to keep them.”
Gao Xiuyan did not listen to the advice at all, and waved his hand and said, "Zigu, don't plead for him, otherwise I will punish you for being abolished by private people first. He is a commander of the first battalion, and even restrains his subordinates' abilities.
No, I don’t think I need to be a captain anymore!”
Seeing Gao Xiuyan tearing her face, the young man straightened his chest and said, "One person does things and one person is my order. Why should I push it to the soldiers? I only know that there is no hesitation or sympathy on the battlefield!"
Gao Xiuyan scolded: "They have surrendered, so they are naturally the prisoners of my Tang army. What right do you have to kill them? Who gave you the courage? If the matter spreads, where will the reputation of my country of benevolence and righteousness be put?
Where should His Majesty Tian Khan be given the name?”
Li Kuo shook his head and said angrily: "Just rely on their captives and slaughtered tens of thousands of people in Longyou, and for their cruel robes of countless soldiers and brave robes in the Tang Dynasty. The bloody talent on the pagoda, Gao Shuai forgot the hatred of the country and family.
Is it right?"
"Random!" Gao Xiuyan raised his slap and thought for a while, but finally let it go. There was no need for him to leave a word for outsiders at this critical moment. He wanted to deal with this young man who was ignorant of the world, and there was a chance to be open and upright.
Gao Xiuyan glanced at Li Zigu and snorted lightly.
"I won't argue with you about this issue. Even if they are to be executed, they must go through the permission of General Geshu, Your Majesty. You are acting beyond your authority, and no matter how intimate you are, you will not take any word for reason."
Li Kuo was full of disappointment and shook his head and said, "Did Gao Shuai think that everything in the world must be measured by reason and law? Does Gao Shuai think that by putting down the butcher's knife, you can become a Buddha immediately? If so, then the Tubo people will kill me regardless of the slaughter.
How many people in the Tang Dynasty can be forgiven as long as they put down the scimitar afterwards? I only know that the tips of their swords are covered with the blood of the Tang people. I only know that killing people will pay for their lives and blood debts. I am avenging my fellow villagers, but I am wrong.
Where is it? People are doing it, God is watching, don’t you feel guilty if you are handsome?"
After saying that, the boy left, leaving Gao Xiuyan standing blankly.
Li Kuo was extremely disappointed. Is this the Tang Dynasty he once proud of? Is this the Tang army general whom he admired? When he was a child, he often heard from his third brother that the Tang Dynasty was a benevolent and righteous teacher and was admired by all nations.
It turns out that this admiration comes like this? How many unjust souls have accumulated under this admiration?
Once upon a time, I was proud to be a soldier of the Tang Dynasty and a general of the Tang Dynasty. But why can a person kick the most valuable emotions in the world out of his heart and step on his feet once he has reached a high position?
Why did he still feel dissatisfied with the step and crush it again?
Those so-called benevolence, righteousness and good reputations, the so-called Tiankang's reputation is even more precious than the territory of the Tang Dynasty. The lives of the people of the thirteen states of Longyou are so humble in the eyes of these powerful and nobles, and are not as good as those of the sages?
Looking east at the Guanshan Mountains, tears are bombed, and the heroes sang sadly and walked hard.
Who are my Tang Dynasty men fighting for the world for bravely fighting against the enemy on the front line? I endured a burst of severe pain. Who is the home that I was guarding against the barbarians in the frontier?
Love - A person with desire is like holding a torch.
The boy smiled bitterly in his heart.
It turns out that the great rivers and mountains accumulated by thousands of dead bones in Longyou are not as good as the barbarian and barbarian barbarians’ voices, “Long live Your Majesty, Long live”!
