The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 617 Li Muyun's Thoughts
Songtsan Gampo began to regret why he had to meet Li Muyun. If he didn’t see this bastard, he wouldn’t have so many troubles. Before he knew it, Songtsan Gampo came to the same conclusion as Li Shimin, and labeled Li Muyun a bastard. Tag of.

It's just that with Li Muyun's character, he doesn't care about these things at all, as long as it's beneficial to take it, even if you call him a bastard in person, he will still be happy. After all, there were many people who greeted him like this in the previous life, and he was already used to it. up.

Niu Jinda watched Li Muyun bicker with Songtsan Gampo, and then watched Songtsan Gampo leave, looking cheerful like a little old man who went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

It was only after Songtsan Gampo left that he regained his serious face: "My lord just let them go? Aren't you going to kill the weeds?"

Li Muyun shrugged his shoulders: "What's wrong with this? Songtsan Gampo's troops are basically dead. If they are all killed, the Tubo plateau will return to the previous situation of evenly matched forces. At that time, what should the kid do or do?"

"It's much better now. The [-] troops that didn't belong to that kid have gone back intact, but all his direct descendants have died. For the next period of time, he can only be busy consolidating his position. In three to five years, I'm afraid I can’t afford to think about anything else.”

It has to be said that Niu Jinda was really convinced by Li Muyun's plausible reasons, although intuition Lao Niu still felt that this kid was making excuses to avoid fighting.

Five days later, the news of the great victory in Songzhou spread to Chang'an, and the news of the annihilation of [-] enemies gave the people of Chang'an City a shot of stimulant. Countless people rushed to the streets to cheer and celebrate, and the haze was swept away from the court. , all the ministers smiled.

Only Lu Dongzan, who was in the post house, was a little depressed, the good situation was disturbed again by Li Muyun, that boy was like Tubo's nemesis, no matter where he went, there was his shadow.

On top of the restaurant, six people were killed with bare hands, which dealt a severe blow to the morale of the Tubo missions. They broke through three passes in the downtown area and became famous again. In addition, they came to the court to stop and make peace with the Tubo army this time. His famous stepping stone was stepped on by him time and time again.

But what if you are dissatisfied?That guy was as slippery as a loach, and he didn't give anyone a chance to catch him. With a sharp mouth, he could turn black into white, and white into black. If you want to move him, you have to find another opportunity.

Li Shimin was very happy. He had listened to so much flattery these past few days. He was very satisfied with Li Muyun. He even forgot what happened in Jiannan Road some time ago and rewarded him with countless gold coins. Yin, the maid, and later rewarded two eunuchs when she was happy.

Now, the reputation of Li Muyun's favored minister can be regarded as completely confirmed. You must know that although eunuchs have always been criticized by people, it is undeniable that eunuchs have always been used exclusively by the royal family.

It's like the jade seal can only be used by the emperor, and the imperial way can only be used by the emperor. No matter how powerful the idle ministers are, no matter how powerful the family is, they dare not raise eunuchs, because that is called over-control, and they will be beheaded.

In addition, among the people at the first level of the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, although Li Daozong, Li Xiaogong, and Li Yuanchang had eunuchs in their families, there was only one eunuch; the other sons of Li Er are still adults and are still living in the palace for the time being. There are quite a few eunuchs, but when they move out in the future, there will be two or three at most.

This is like the cards issued at the United Nations General Assembly. As far as the cards themselves are concerned, they are worthless, but the people who hang them can show different identities.

Li Muyun hadn't returned yet, and there were already two more eunuchs at his disposal in the family, which showed how much Li Shimin doted on this guy.

It is precisely because of this that some people in the court secretly began to think about how to deal with this Xiaoyao Wang. This is also the legendary saying that they are not afraid of bad things, but afraid of bad people.

Li Muyun didn't know this. After the battle of Songzhou, the most important thing was to deal with the wounded soldiers. Although this time it was a complete victory, people would die and some people would be injured in the battle. Although the Tubo people had already collapsed at that time , but still caused a lot of casualties to his troops.

Niu Jinda has been paying attention to Li Muyun's movements, watching him set up a cauldron to cook bandages, and he is curious: "I said, Muyun, what are you doing?"

This old cow is also an open-minded person, and Li Muyun is also not the kind of person who cares about every detail. Every day, the prince is long and the prince is short, no matter whether he is called or heard, he feels awkward, so the two of them simply discussed it and called them privately.

Li Muyun's big soldiers have experience in Jiannan Road, so they don't need him to direct anything at this time. When the old cow asked, he smiled and said: "This is disinfection. The climate in Songzhou is sweltering and hot, which is suitable for bacteria to multiply. If you don’t disinfect and treat the wound directly, I’m afraid it will become inflamed soon, and I’m afraid that the Great Luo Immortal will come and they won’t be able to save them.”

Lao Niu listened with a half-knowledge. Although he didn’t know what bacteria were, he understood inflammation. He nodded and said, “Unexpectedly, you are not only good at calculating people, but also have your own unique insights in medicine. Not bad, not bad!”

Li Muyun looked at Lao Niu depressedly: "I said Uncle Niu, are you praising me?"

"Otherwise?" Niu Jinda asked with a smile.

"Okay, then I thank you!" Li Muyun cupped his hands helplessly, looking helpless to complain, which made the old cow laugh out loud, very unhappy.

At the end, the old cow restrained his smile and asked seriously: "How about the loss this time?"

Speaking of battle damage, Li Muyun sighed: "More than [-] people died in battle, [-] were seriously injured, and minor injuries...almost everyone suffered from it."

"Well, the loss is not big." Niu Jinda nodded, looking a little downcast.

Li Muyun didn't notice the appearance of the old cow. He watched from a distance a wounded soldier with a broken hand being held down by his companions and applying medicine. The painful wailing made the corners of his eyes twitch involuntarily. After thinking for a while, he asked: "Uncle Niu, what will happen to these wounded soldiers after they go back? Can they still stay in the army?"

"What do you think? If you are slightly injured, you can still stay in the army. Anyway, you can go to the battlefield after recovering from the injury. It's hard to say if you are seriously injured and disabled. It is normal to return to the homeland after returning from the army, but..." Lao Niu said Halfway through, he suddenly stopped, and after a long time he sighed and said: "When you go to the battlefield, it's good enough to save your life, what else can you think about."

Hearing this, Li Muyun already had a glimmer of understanding that even in the later generations, he might not be able to be properly resettled if he was seriously injured and discharged from the army, let alone in the Tang Dynasty. It is estimated that not starving to death would be considered a big deal.

Niu Jinda seemed to see what he was thinking, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's not a day or two, you'd better not get involved, the water is very deep."

Li Muyun said with a little dissatisfaction: "Uncle Niu, they followed me through life and death, I brought them here from Chang'an, now you tell me to leave them alone?"

"This is fate!" Niu Jinda sighed again, opened his mouth hesitantly, and finally turned around and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Li Muyun didn't understand, Lao Niu's thinking, he should also be dissatisfied with the court's arrangement, but for some reason he never wanted to bring this matter up.

In addition, since Lao Niu has such an idea, who can guarantee that other people will not have such an idea, but why are all these people silently enduring it? What is so tricky about it?
With deep doubts, Li Muyun received a transfer order from Chang'an, asking him to return to Chang'an immediately.

At this time, all the things that should be handled by him in Songzhou have been dealt with, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Lead the team back to Chang'an along the official road.

After half a month, the team arrived in Chang'an. Because the scale was too small, only Fang Xuanling was waiting for them at Baqiao, and the rest were countless families of soldiers.

Putting aside the sadness of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man by the bridge, Li Muyun completed the etiquette of returning to the teacher under the arrangement of Lao Fang, and followed him all the way back to hand over the order.

Logically speaking, after the Battle of Songzhou, Li Muyun should be in a good mood, but whenever he saw those seriously wounded and disabled soldiers and those urns, his heart began to throb for no reason.

Li Muyun was not a sentimental person. The profession of killer gave him a cold heart, but no matter what, he couldn't face the desperate eyes of those soldiers.

It is said that the environment can change a person. Li Muyun has to admit this. He has been with these big soldiers day and night for half a year. They fight together, eat wild vegetables, and catch hares. Unknowingly, they have formed a kind of friendship called war. s things.

Taiji Palace, Liangyi Palace, Li Muyun will meet according to the ceremony and hand in the Tiger Talisman.

Li Shimin didn't give him a look, he smiled and asked about the process of this expedition and the difficulties encountered on the road.

Li Muyun answered one by one, but he was always in a daze. Li Er noticed his situation and couldn't help frowning slightly: "Li Muyun, do you have something on your mind?"

Li Muyun took a deep breath and said hesitantly: "Brother Huang, I have a merciless request, and I hope Brother Huang can grant it!"

"Say!" Li Shimin raised his chin, his aura was quite strong.

"Brother Huang, my younger brother has gone through two battles this time. A total of 690 soldiers were killed and 820 people were seriously injured. My younger brother would like to implore the emperor...a huge amount of compensation!" Li Muyun hesitated at the end, But still speak out.

None of the princes in the court mentioned the matter of compensation, Li Muyun didn't know the reason, but since no one said anything, there must be something to say.

So after Li Muyun finished speaking, he felt uneasy, looking at Li Shimin who sat there silently, like a prisoner waiting for his fate to pronounce his sentence.
