Man Tanghong

Two days later, Su Dingfang sent someone to Xue Wanche's army, dismissed all of Xue Wanche's military positions, and rewarded Xue Wanche with thirty military sticks, and then Wang Xuance escorted him to Baiyang City to interrogate his crimes. He was taken over by the military commander in the army.

Six days later, Xue Wanche was escorted back to Baiyang City. After being re-educated by Su Dingfang and punished again, he knelt down in front of the side hall of the Xiangyi carriage courtyard with his rotten buttocks sticking out, and punched his head on the ground.

"Your Highness, Wan Che has shamed you..."

Xue Wanche's voice was full of shame and embarrassment.

Li Yuanji put down the battle report in his hand, walked out of the case, walked up to Xue Wanche, and said angrily: "Who are you throwing at me? You are so powerful now that you don't even listen to the commander's order, and you still care about it." I?"

Xue Wanche was even more ashamed when he heard this, his head was about to be stuck into the ground, his buttocks were pushed higher, and he said in a low voice: "I don't dare, I'm just in a hurry..."

Li Yuanji didn't wait for Xue Wanche to finish speaking, and shouted: "You don't have to listen to the command of the general if you are in a hurry? When your father taught you the strategy of war and martial arts, didn't he tell you that the military order is like a mountain?!"

Xue Wanche said in a voice lower than that of a mosquito: "I know I was wrong..."

Li Yuanji glared at Xue Wanche and scolded: "What's the use of knowing you're wrong, Su Dingfang sent you six orders in a row, but you ignored them all, your score is bigger than mine now!

Don't call me Your Highness in the future, I am not qualified to be your Highness, so let me call you Your Highness! "

Xue Wanche kowtowed quickly and said, "I dare not!"

Li Yuanji scolded angrily: "You don't dare to ignore the Commander's order, do you think you are bigger than the Commander? Or do you think Su Dingfang is inferior to you and wants to replace him?!"

Xue Wanche raised his head suddenly, the wounds on his buttocks and back were touched, and he grinned and argued: "I didn't, I definitely didn't mean that!"

Li Yuanji glared at Xue Wanche viciously and said, "You didn't mean that, but you did this kind of thing! It means that Su Dingfang let you go because of his friendship with you and your brothers." Ma, if you were someone else, you would have been beheaded long ago, how many heads have you had?!"

Xue Wanche swore an oath: "I assure you, I will never dare again!"

Li Yuanji snorted and said: "You want to have another time, this time I will demote you to a soldier!"

Speaking of this, Li Yuanji did not give Xue Wanche another chance to continue speaking, and directly ordered Zhao Chengyong who was guarding outside the gate: "Take it down, give him a set of armor for ordinary soldiers, and let him guard at the gate of the city." Think about it, when will he have a long memory, and when will we change places for him!"

Zhao Chengyong agreed without hesitation, "here!"

Then, regardless of Xue Wanche's butt and back injuries, he carried Xue Wanche and left the side hall.

Li Shimin watched from beginning to end, after Zhao Chengyong supported Xue Wanche and left, he pursed his lips and snorted.

Li Yuanji turned his head and gave Li Shimin a white look, and said, "Why are you yelling? The eldest grandson Wuji who came out of your sect, even the wives and daughters of barbarians, are you willing to yell?"

Li Shimin rolled his eyes in shock.

Speaking of which, it wasn't Changsun Wuji's fault, it was a barbarian king who followed Feng An to conquer Linyi, seeing that he had more airs in the army than Feng An, and Feng An still gave way to him, so he became suspicious.

After conquering a big city in Linyi, when the loot was distributed, in order to get more loot, the barbarian king sent his wife and daughter to Changsun Wuji's tent.

Changsun Wuji did not initiate this matter, nor did Changsun Wuji favor the wife and daughter of the barbarian king. Logically speaking, this is not a big deal. It should not have been reported to Chang'an, or even to Baiyang City.

Some of the accompanying officials used this incident to sue Changsun Wuji in order to flatter him, and then the incident became known to everyone.

No matter whether the people in Chang'an city or here, no one cared which barbarian king's wife and daughter Changsun Wuji favored. Everyone only remembered that the barbarian king sent his wife and daughter to Changsun Wuji's tent.

Then Changsun Wuji gained a reputation that even the wives and daughters of barbarians would not let go.

It can be said that in this matter, Changsun Wuji was wronged, and he was about to catch up with Dou E.

But everyone just likes to see Changsun Wuji's injustice. Even if someone spreads the truth of the matter, everyone still firmly believes that Changsun Wuji is the wife and daughter who won't let go of other barbarians.

Now that this matter has been spread by everyone, Changsun Wuji will not be able to wash it away even if he wants to.

"If it wasn't for the governor named Zhou Qi who wanted to curry favor with you, how could it be possible to slander the auxiliary machine with such a thing, and how could the auxiliary machine bear such a stigma? The most hateful thing is that you actually gave that Zhou Qi a promotion!"

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and defended Changsun Wuji.

Li Yuanji curled his lips and said, "If you don't help Zhou Qi get promoted, why don't you help Changsun Wuji? Do you want Changsun Wuji to stay in Linyi for the rest of his life?"

Li Shimin was instantly stunned speechless.

The man named Zhou Qi was the governor of Lingnan, and he was pulled out from among the officials who were exiled to Lingnan. This time, he sued Changsun Wuji because he played tricks.

But he dared to sue Changsun Wuji when he knew little about the court situation, which shows that he is a bold guy.

You know, the eldest grandson Wuji was planted and assigned, but his younger sister still lives in the palace, his uncle is still the Shangqing of the Tang Dynasty, his elder brother is also the nobleman of the Tang Dynasty, and his nephews are all the county kings of the Tang Dynasty .

Changsun Wuji has such a great background, so Zhou Qi sued him as soon as he said it, which shows how courageous he is.

If such a person is brought back to Chang'an City, he can set off a triple wave for you even if there is no wind, so nothing can be said to bring him back to Chang'an.

But this kind of person is not useless, if this kind of person is placed in those places that the Tang Dynasty has just conquered, he will definitely toss the local people who do not accept the kingship of the Tang Dynasty.

But now there are three places in Tang Dynasty that need such people, one is Tuyuhun, one is Turkic, and the other is Linyi.

Under the conquest of Feng An, Changsun Wuji and others, Datang has already captured half of Linyi's territory, and the other half of the territory is already within easy reach.

If it weren't for someone spreading rumors in the southwest, saying that the Great Tang was going to use up the young men of the barbarians by conquering Linyi and eradicating the barbarians and Linyi together, causing some barbarian kings who didn't know the truth to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, Feng An and Changsun Wu Ji's conquest of Linyi may be faster.

Now that half of the territory of Linyi has been conquered, it is naturally impossible to return it to the people of Linyi, so a government office must be established in Linyi, and it will be governed by officials of the Tang Dynasty.

And the officials in Chang'an City were naturally unwilling to go to what they thought were barbarians, so they could only be transferred from Lingnan.

A talent like Zhou Qi would be useful.

Now, Zhou Qi has been appointed as the governor of Jiuzhen, the governor of Jiuzhen, and the governor of Jiuzhen, in charge of all affairs of Jiuzhen County in Han Dynasty.

Although the Southwest has made people realize its true value with the continuous development of sea transportation, in the eyes of many people, it is still a place full of poisonous insects and beasts, which is not suitable for Han people to live in.

Therefore, Li Shimin naturally did not want his second uncle to stay in the southwest for the rest of his life.

"Help me read this battle report!"

After Li Shimin was speechless, Li Yuanji picked up a battle report and handed it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin stared, took the battle report, read it roughly, then raised his head with a frown and said: "Is this someone lying about military achievements, and using rather clumsy methods?"

The kind that can be understood by any official pulled out of the local soldiers.

Li Yuanji nodded and said: "This is the battle report from the Geshu tribe! Five thousand versus eight thousand, 500 people died, more than 1000 were injured, 500 were killed by the formation, and 500 were captured. We need to supplement them." Two thousand sets of armor, and hope to select 600 people from the captives to make up the troops.

Generally speaking, it seems that there is no problem, but if you think about it carefully, it is full of problems.

First of all, the number of casualties is unreasonable. This time, the Geshu tribe is fighting against the Turkic royal family, the Ashid tribe. The strength of the Geshu tribe barely ranks in the top ten among the Turkic tribes, but the Ashid tribe has always been in the top three. .

The Geshu tribe used 8000 troops to fight against the 500-strong Astide army, and killed 500 of them after only losing [-] in the battle. This is totally unreasonable.

The second is that the armor they want far exceeds their battle damage this time.

In the end, the number of soldiers they wanted to replenish from the captives was quite close to the number of their battle losses. "

If it is a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, it is nothing to lose five hundred and add five or six hundred, but this is a soldier of the Geshu tribe, and there is no need to abide by the discipline and rules of the Tang Dynasty.

In matters such as replenishment of troops, one should ask for a lot of money.

A loss of five hundred, at least one thousand five hundred, and one thousand in the end.

That's what Ashina Simo, who nominally leads the Geshu Department, did, so this request from the Geshu Department seems to be a guilty conscience.

"What do you think?"

Li Shimin did not rush to a conclusion, but first asked Li Yuanji's opinion.

Li Yuanji didn't hide it either, and said frankly: "I think that the Geshu tribe lost at least 2000 soldiers and horses in the process of fighting against the Ashid tribe. He bought 500 people, made up the vacancy, and then asked us for 500 people, and made up [-] people, which just matched the number of soldiers he could spare and the number of soldiers he asked us to ask for.”

Li Shimin nodded thoughtfully and said: "That is to say, in this battle of the Geshu tribe, the number of people beheaded was not six thousand five, but four thousand five?"

Before Li Yuanji nodded, Li Shimin went on to say: "Is it possible that in this battle of the Geshu tribe, not even four thousand and five people were beheaded, but three thousand five, or two thousand five, or even One thousand and five, Ge Shuhan also hid some people?"

Li Yuanji pondered and said: "Second brother, what you mean is that the armor captured by Geshu's department from Ashid's department can still be recast, and after recasting, can it be equipped with other people?"

Li Shimin nodded.

Li Yuanji thought about it and nodded, "It's not impossible..."

The strength of Ashde's department is stronger than that of Geshu's department, and its military strength is also larger than that of Geshu's department. Even if Geshu's department has the support of Datang Bingjia, it cannot catch up with the gap between them.

After all, during the period when Datang supported Suni's tribe, he also sold a large number of armors of the same style as those distributed to Geshu's tribe to Sunisi.

And the Ashide tribe is the royal family of the Turks, so they must be able to win some shares.

Therefore, in terms of armor, it is very likely that the two sides are evenly divided, rather than Geshu's department crushing Ast's department.

So the two sides are facing each other, if the Geshu tribe wants to defeat the Ashde tribe, it will have to pay a huge price.

There is even a high chance of losing the battle.

So the possibility mentioned by Li Shimin is not unlikely to happen, and it is even very likely that there will be a more serious scene than this.
