Man Tanghong

Chapter 78
No matter what Li Yuanji said, he was also the fourth person in the Tang Dynasty. Among all the courtiers in the Tang Dynasty, only 70 years old old men like Li Gang and Pei Ju could not give him face, and Yu Chigong was not qualified.

Qin Qiong opened his mouth, and wanted to defend Yu Chigong a few words, but the words came to his lips, but he didn't say them.

After all, it was Yu Chigong who was rude first, and he couldn't blame Li Yuanji for being ruthless.

Wu Heikai looked at Qin Qiong with a bitter face and said, "Shu Bao, let's find a way to help Brother Yuchi get back the lining. Otherwise, Brother Yuchi will not be a man in the future, and we will have to be scolded accordingly."

When Yu Chigong was rude to Li Yuanji, he and Niu Jinda were watching from the sidelines, but they couldn't stop it in time. Those censors knew about it, and they would definitely call them the same as Yu Chigong.

Yu Chigong has been turned into an unfaithful and unjust man by Li Yuanji. They are the same as Yu Chigong, don't they also become disloyal and unrighteous?
You can't memorize the title of infidelity and unrighteousness. If you memorize it, you can't get along in Datang.

Qin Qiong said with a sullen face, "What can we do..."

Li Yuanji had already firmly placed this name on Yuchi Gong's head, and they also ran away. They are still on the battlefield, holding the commander's order in their hands. Before the commander's order is handed in, they can't be like Like Li Yuanji, he left the battlefield casually.

Niu Jinda sighed and said, "Why don't you report this matter to His Highness so that His Highness can make a decision?"

Qin Qiong and Wu Heita looked at each other.

Wu Heikai said helplessly, "It's the only way to go now."

Li Yuanji was much higher than them in terms of status, and easily crushed Yu Chigong in terms of martial arts, and they were no match for each other.

In the past, they could still rely on their martial arts to be better than Li Yuanji, and they could have a few words with Li Yuanji.

Now they are no longer qualified to have an equal dialogue with Li Yuanji, so they can only ask Li Shimin to come forward.

Qin Qiong beckoned to Buqu, gave Buqu a few instructions, and Buqu rode on his horse and rushed to where Li Shimin was.

……

Li Yuanji rode a horse and galloped a hundred feet away, the unrestrained vigor of his body was gone, replaced by a look of grief.

"Can you say that again?"

Li Yuanji looked at Su Dingfang who was helping him lead the horse, and asked in disbelief.

Su Dingfang said in a deep voice: "This time in the battle of Mingshui City, His Highness's guards injured more than 100 people, and the soldiers of the Second Commander's Mansion on the left were injured by [-]. Almost all the soldiers and horses of Shanzhou were buried in Mingshui City."

Li Yuanji felt his heart was stabbed by a knife. When he was watching the battle, he guessed that the soldiers under his hands had suffered a lot in battle, and he was mentally prepared to hurt half of them.

But now Su Dingfang told him that the battle damage had exceeded half, and he would not be able to bear it for a while.

"How did it hurt so much?"

Li Yuanji questioned heartbroken.

With a bitter face, Su Dingfang told Li Yuanji about the situation in Mingshui City.

Although there are more than 10,000 troops in Mingshui City, the only ones who can participate in the battle are more than 100 trilogy in the hands of Luo Shixin, more than 1000 Tang soldiers left by Wang Junkuo, and 500 troops led by Su Dingfang and Qu Tutong. people.

Luo Shi couldn't believe Li Quhuo's troops, Su Dingfang and Qu Tutong couldn't believe it.

All the soldiers of Tang Dynasty did not dare to hand over their backs to them.

So Luo Shixin confiscated their weapons, let them act as civilian husbands, and did not let them participate in the war.

The 500 people led by Su Dingfang and Qu Tutong were the main force to resist Liu Heita's siege this time, so the battle damage was naturally great.

After all, Liu Heitai led tens of thousands of people to attack the city, many of whom were brave warriors. Luo Shixin, Su Dingfang, and Qu Tutong only had a few thousand soldiers in their hands. To defend Mingshui City, they would definitely have to pay a huge price.

"Damn Wang Junkuo!"

After listening to Su Dingfang's words, Li Yuanji cursed loudly.

If it weren't for Wang Junkuo's scumbag, who failed to perform his duties, and cleaned up the two or five boys hiding under Li Quhuo's hands, the soldiers under his hands would not have suffered so much damage.

"Go to someone, tell Qu Tutong, and let him report the details of this matter to the handsome account as soon as possible!"

Wang Junkuo must give an explanation on this matter.

If he doesn't give an explanation, he will definitely not let it go.

"Is there anyone deliberately framing our people?"

After Li Yuanji ordered someone to send a message to Qu Tutong, he stared at Su Dingfang and asked again.

Su Dingfang shook his head without hesitation, "No one deliberately harmed our people. The brothers under Shi Xin's subordinates have always stood in front of our people, but they are also the first to go when they encounter a crisis that must die."

Mentioning the brother under Luo Shixin's hands, Su Dingfang's expression became more respectful.

What a group of loving brothers.

He and Qu Tutong led the people to Mingshui City to save them.

But at critical moments, they always rushed to the forefront, blocking the enemy's fatal blow for the brothers of Prince Qi's Mansion.

The brothers in Prince Qi's Mansion risked their lives to save each other, and they also risked their lives to repay each other.

"I'm asking... Li Quhuo!"

Li Yuanji gritted his teeth and said.

Of course he didn't doubt that Luo Shixin and Luo Shixin's brothers would harm his people. What he suspected was Li Quhuo, the surrendered general.

If Li Quhuo cheated someone who harmed him, he would rush into Mingshui City to chop off Li Quhuo's dog's head right now.

Su Dingfang froze for a moment, thought for a while, and shook his head slightly, "During the war, Li Quhuo kept his own law and order, and there was no traitor under his command again."

Li Yuanji snorted coldly, "Capital crimes are inevitable, but living crimes are inevitable. When the war came, a traitor appeared under his command, but he didn't notice it in time, and he was guilty of negligence.

After entering Mingshui City for a while, his military power was confiscated. "

After Li Yuanji finished speaking, he led Su Dingfang and his party into Mingshui City.

The houses in Mingshui City were smashed to pieces by huge boulders, and some houses were burned to pieces.

Soldiers in leather armor shuttled through every street in Mingshui City, collecting the scattered corpses.

On the school field in the city.

The corpses of soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were densely packed.

Qu Tutong stood beside the corpses of the soldiers with a sad face, and would remind the military clerks from time to time, recording in the book how many times that soldier killed the enemy, how heroic the battle was, and so on.

Qu Tutong brought them into Mingshui City, but he couldn't bring them out alive, so he had to ask someone to record their achievements in detail, hoping that the court would give more rewards to their families.

Some of the heads he had captured were also quietly assigned to the soldiers by him.

After Li Yuanji arrived on horseback, Qu Tutong hurried forward, knelt down in front of Li Yuanji on one knee, and said with a guilty expression: "Your Highness, I am ashamed..."

Li Yuanji believed him and handed over 500 people to him, but he lost more than half of the [-] people, and he felt ashamed.

Although it is common to have injuries on the battlefield, these 500 people are Li Yuanji's subordinates, not his subordinate army, nor are they soldiers sent to him by the commander-in-chief.

He had to give Li Yuanji an explanation.

Li Yuanji felt a dull pain in his heart as he looked at the corpses all over the school grounds.

A few days ago, they were all alive and kicking, galloping behind him, and some of them would lick their faces and say some witty words to him when he was patrolling.

A few days later, they turned into corpses...

"Get up, I don't blame you."

Li Yuanji said something quietly to Qu Tutong, jumped off his horse and walked towards the school grounds.

He personally looked at the appearance of each soldier, took back the iron plates they wore, and when he met a Shanzhou soldier who did not wear an iron plate, he would also order the document to prepare a separate copy, and record the birthday and death of the Shanzhou soldiers. Sacrificial offerings, characteristics of appearance, place of origin, meritorious service, etc. are recorded in the book.

It was because of his order that they set foot on the battlefield of Mingshui City and died in Mingshui City.

If it wasn't for him, they might not have appeared on the Mingshui City battlefield.

So he had to write down everything about them and treat their families generously.

"Your Highness... Your Highness..."

In the evening, Li Yuanji helped the last soldier to tidy up his appearance, Qu Tutong hesitantly approached Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji nodded, and before Qu Tutong could speak again, he greeted, "Su Dingfang?"

Su Dingfang hurried forward.

Li Yuanji ordered, "Bury them in a high tomb and erect a stele in seal script, so that we can pay homage to them in the future."

Su Dingfang said solemnly: "Here!"

Li Yuanji looked at the clerk behind him again, and ordered: "Report their achievements to the commander-in-chief, and ask the commander-in-chief to show their merits."

The clerk hastily bowed and agreed, "Here!"

Li Yuanji sent people to go to Luoyang, Shanzhou, and Chang'an as quickly as possible, and first allocated some land property to the soldiers who died in battle as compensation.

He asked for some land for the soldiers who died in battle under his command, but the Luoyang order, the governor of Shanzhou, and the officials of Chang'an did not dare to trip him up.

Datang now has no shortage of land property, only the population.

Therefore, the Luoyang order, the governor of Shanzhou, and the officials of Chang'an would not use this kind of thing to trip him up and offend him.

Li Yuanji looked at Qu Tutong after he had explained everything almost.

Qu Tutong hurriedly said: "The commander-in-chief has confiscated Wang Junkuo's soldiers and horses, and also demoted Li Quhuo."

Li Yuanji frowned, "Shuai Zhang's movements are quite fast."

Qu Tutong made a bitter face and said nothing.

Don't you dare.

Li Yuanji stayed in Mingshui City without saying a word for most of the day, everyone could see that Li Yuanji was furious.

If Wang Junkuo and Li Quhuo were not dealt with quickly, Li Yuanji would be furious, and he didn't know what earth-shattering event would happen.

Before that, Li Yuanji burned the Luoyang granary in a fit of anger.

Although it only burned an empty granary, it also scared many people.

People who don't know the inside story still look distressed when they mention this matter.

"It's cheaper for them..."

Li Yuanji sighed faintly.

When he was arranging the appearance of the soldiers who died in battle, the anger in his heart gradually rose, and he moved his mind several times to kill Wang Junkuo and Li Quhuo, but he finally suppressed it.

Shuai Zhang has already dealt with Wang Junkuo and Li Quhuo, so it is not easy for him to run to kill people.
