Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 676

at night
"salute!"

Snapped!
Under the watchful eyes of the soldiers, Li Huamei entered the official office and began to make a list.

Including how much gunpowder and arrows were consumed, how many people were lost, how many supplies were seized, how many slaves were captured, etc., all need to be reported to the superior.

When she saw that the latest instruction was to burn Licheng to the ground, she frowned slightly.

Although it is a bit cruel, this is also the daily operation of the Republic. If you can't leave bricks and tiles for the enemy, you will inevitably pluck the feathers.

At this time, a soldier came to report: "Captain, a man who called himself Wang Bo asked to see him."

"Huh?" Li Huamei was a little surprised when she heard the name, wondering if it was the same name?Then he promised, "Let him in."

After a while, Wang Bo, wearing a green robe, entered the official office and met an old acquaintance.

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward, but Wang Bo spoke first: "Girl, long time no see!"

"Please sit down." Li Huamei pointed to the chair next to her with a smile.

"Your army is going to take away all the people in the city?" Wang Bo went straight to the point.

"Of course, they are the property of the Republic!" Li Huamei replied truthfully.

"Your army can take away all the wealth in the city, so why take away the people?" Wang Bo asked again.

"The people are the greatest wealth!" Li Huamei replied.

"Can you spare the people in the city?"

"No."

"Why?"

"This is an order from the Republic, not something I can decide."

"..."

There was nothing to say all night, Wang Bo didn't know what to say, and his poems were useless in front of the Yan army's firecrackers, bows and crossbows.

"Farewell."

Since he couldn't get the reply he wanted, Wang Bo saluted and left.

Looking at Wang Bo's leaving figure, Li Huamei finally couldn't help but remind him: "It's okay to let a few people go occasionally. You must leave Licheng as soon as possible within three days."

Three days later, it was time for the Yan army to burn the city. If Wang Bo failed to leave in time, he would either be forced to become a slave or be burned to death in the city.

"Thank you." Wang Bo left, thinking about what Li Huamei said just now.

Leave in three days?Is there any major change three days later?
In the next three days, the puppet troops continued to plunder the city's wealth, moved everything they could, and put them all into carriages, preparing to transport them to the seaside and eventually back to Liaodong.

The people of Licheng, with their hands tied, went eastward on foot under the guard of the puppet army.

Some old people died of exhaustion on the road, and no one took care of them.

Wang Bo had already left Licheng, but he did not leave completely. Instead, he temporarily lived in a ruined temple outside the city. He wanted to know what would happen in three days.

three days later

Licheng
crackle crackle crackle!

"what!--"

"Wow! Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

The entire city was engulfed in raging fire, and some people who were hiding in the corners and were not found by the Yan army burned in the flames.

A mother and daughter have been hiding in the basement for the past three days without being discovered by Yan Jun.

However, as the entire city was engulfed in flames, their basement was not spared, and the mother and daughter were choked to death by the thick smoke.

There are many more tragedies like this.

Either become a slave or die, there is no other choice.

When Wang Bo returned to Licheng, Licheng was already empty, and the Yan army had already left with the spoils.

The bustling city was turned into ruins, the walls were full of traces of being burned by flames, and some charred corpses could be seen from time to time. Along the way, there were old people who were starved to death, and the corpses were thrown on the road like this There is no one to deal with it.

It was the first time for Wang Bo to see the huge destructive power brought by the war with his own eyes, and he was a little lost. If it wasn't because of his personal friendship with Li Huamei, he would have been forcibly taken away as a slave at this moment.

Yan Guo reproduced what Tang Jun did in Liaodong in Shandong.

"When is the time for retribution! How innocent are the common people!"

Wang Bo couldn't help but compose a poem "Tears of People in Qizhou".

A few months later, the main force of the Tang Dynasty finally arrived in Shandong and Hebei. However, the Khitan people, Kumoxi people, and Yan people had already returned with full load and disappeared.

However, compared to punishing the Khitans, Datang now has more important things to do, and that is to suppress the rebellion of the Turks and Western Regions.

Therefore, the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were just Chen Bing Youyun, who intimidated the Khitans and Kumoxi people, forced them to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty again, and then hurried west to quell the rebellion in the Western Regions.

The territory of the empire is too large, so it is always at the expense of the other. Delegating power to local generals is imminent, but the emperor and empress are still unwilling to delegate power. They are full of confidence in their abilities.

If the army goes to the east, the west will be invaded; if the army goes to the west, the east will be invaded.

The vast territory made it difficult for the empire to rely solely on the central government to suppress the Quartet.

another five months later

Republic 460 Nine Years Winter (679)
There was a large-scale civil strife in the Snowy Zhou Kingdom. The Xiangxiong people who surrendered to the Great Zhou were unwilling to be slaves to the nobles of the Great Zhou. week.

Therefore, the 66-year-old Ji Fa VI spent more than half a year suppressing the rebellion. Although the suppression was successful in the end, the Great Zhou Dynasty had consumed a lot in the war for hegemony in the Western Regions in these years, and a large-scale internal rebellion had just ended. Therefore, it is temporarily unable to expand, and it is necessary to stop the war and recuperate.

In this context, Ji Fa VI once again asked the Tang Empire for a marriage, and asked for Princess Taiping by name.

Decades ago, when he was still a young man, he married Princess Wencheng from the Heavenly Khan Li Shimin. Now, as a gray-haired man, he wanted to marry another princess from the hands of the Emperor Tang.

The reason why Princess Taiping was chosen as the marriage princess was because Princess Taiping was the queen's own daughter and her status was high enough.

Faced with Zhou Guo’s request for peace, the Emperor and Empress were very happy. If they could make peace with Zhou, Datang would be able to concentrate on dealing with the rebellious Turks and Khitans first, without worrying about fighting on two fronts.

Emperor Li Zhi promised to send Princess Taiping for marriage, and planned to marry Princess Taiping in a glamorous manner to make his daughter look good.

When the 15-year-old Princess Taiping heard about it, she cried and made trouble.

"I heard that the monarch of the state of Zhou is almost 70 years old, and he is older than the father and mother, but such a person wants to be my husband. If the father must send his son and minister to Zhou, the son... Willing to die!"

A 15-year-old girl in the blooming season is just at the time of Huaichun. She has no sense of responsibility and professionalism, and is more yearning for love. How can she be willing to marry a bad old man who is about to be 70 years old?Even if this bad old man is a hero of the generation who gave Datang a headache!
Under Princess Taiping's hard work, Tianhou couldn't bear to marry her favorite daughter to a bad old man, so she wrote back to Jifa VI, asking Jifa VI to choose other Tang princesses to marry.

Jifa VI was a little dissatisfied when he could not get the Queen's biological daughter, but in the end he did not forcefully ask for Princess Taiping. Instead, he chose a new princess from among the many daughters of Emperor Riji.

The ordinary daughters of Li Tang's family, Ji Fa VI, have looked down on them. They must be the biological daughters of the emperor Li Zhi. This kind of genuine Tang princess is worthy of marriage with him.

This is the confidence that Da Zhou brought to him after he hit Datang twice.

If other countries had such an attitude towards marrying a Tang princess, Li Zhi would not bother to pay attention and would even send troops to destroy the country. However, the Snowy Zhou Kingdom is qualified for this attitude.

Why?
Just relying on the Zhou Kingdom in the snowy area to wipe out 20 elites of the Tang Dynasty on the snowy plateau!
The real record is the biggest confidence of Xueyu Zhou!
