People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 854 Ask the Protector to commit suicide

In Fuqi City's Protector's Mansion, in front of the study room at the back of the old palace, countless Tuyuhun warriors were holding swords and facing their former Protector-General.

Li Xuan, dressed in red clothes and gold armor, stood in front of these Tuyuhun warriors, pressing the hilt of his sword, his eyes were cold, but he looked at Su Hegui with a trace of pity, and said softly: "Captain, you have been defeated."

"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, Su admits it." Su Hegui waved his hand and threw the sword aside.

Raising his head, Su Hegui looked at Li Xuan and said coldly: "I wonder what the King of Nanchang wants to do with Su. Does he want to escort Su to Chang'an for trial?"

"Sorry, Protector, you don't have the qualifications." Li Xuan shook his head slightly and said calmly: "If you want to go to Chang'an, unless you are the leader of a country, or a lord who has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, then you can The qualifications to go to Chang'an... And for you, Protector, His Majesty has already made an imperial edict to ask for your head... I only want your head."

"Okay!" Su Hegui immediately gritted his teeth. He looked at Li Xuan, frowned and said, "Then let the King of Nanchang come and get it in person?"

Li Xuan shook her head indifferently and said calmly: "It is Your Majesty who wants your head, it has nothing to do with me."

Seeing Li Xuan's seemingly calm eyes, but with hatred in his eyes, Su Hegui felt an inexplicable chill down his spine, and couldn't help but tremble all over. He took half a step back, raised his eyes and asked, "What does the King of Nanchang want?" What do you want?"

"In the battle of Dafeichuan, the Tang Dynasty's [-] elite army was wiped out. For this blood debt, apart from Lun Qinling, the most damned person is to protect you." Li Xuan pressed her hand hard on the hilt of the Eight-sided Han Sword, Although his face was still calm, his words were filled with terrible hatred.

In the defeat of Dafeichuan, the entire army of [-] soldiers of the Tang Dynasty was wiped out in one battle.

In the following years, the entire Tang Dynasty was licking the huge wounds left by that battle.

Silla rebelled, the Turks were about to move, and the four towns of Anxi were lost and recovered. Today, the army re-conquered Tubo and won the first battle. Li Xuan even captured Fuqi City. Years of anger broke out, and the culprit of that year was right in front of him. .

Looking at Li Xuan's eyes full of hatred, Su Hegui finally lowered his head, took a deep breath, raised his head, looked at Li Xuan, and said sincerely: "There are countless wealth and countless beauties in this palace. The King of Nanchang Take whatever you can, just ask..."

"You no longer have any leverage to ask for anything, Protector. Most of all the treasures in this palace will be sent to the capital of the gods. The remaining Tuyuhun and Tubo currency will be distributed to the soldiers behind me on the spot. You The family’s private food will also be distributed to these soldiers and their families.”

Li Xuan took a step forward, stared at Su Hegui, and said forcefully: "As for you, your family, and the Protector, you all have to die."

After saying that, Li Xuan turned sideways and shouted coldly: "Bring it up."

"Here!" Following the order, Su Baotong came in from outside with a dozen Qianniu guards and a dozen little boys.

The moment they saw these little boys, the Su family men behind Su Hegui couldn't help but want to rush forward, but the sharp swords forced them to retreat, and they could only stand there with red eyes. Staring at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan looked at the scene in front of her calmly, feeling inexplicably happy in her heart.

After the defeat of Dafeichuan, I don't know how many people wanted to rush to Qinghai and directly kill people like Su Hegui.

Now, retribution has finally fallen to the Su family.

At the time of Dafeichuan, Li Xuan was still in Shu, but around Chengdu, countless people hung white flags on their houses, and the courtyards were full of cries.

Datang's unprecedented defeat cost countless people a heavy price.

Now, everything finally falls on these traitors.

……

Su Hegui stretched out his hand and pressed down everyone behind him, then looked at Li Xuan with a cold look: "How is the prince doing?"

"Hmph!" Li Xuan snorted, walked to the side of a young man from the Su family in two steps, put a hand on his neck, and then raised his eyes to look at Su Hegui.

Su Hegui's breathing became involuntarily heavy in an instant.

Li Xuan pressed the Su family boy's neck, raised his head, and looked at Su Hegui coldly: "According to the king's wishes, you and your entire family should have been executed without leaving any one alive, but the Chi family leader and others begged for mercy. If you can deal with them according to the rules of Tuyuhun... and not kill women and children below the wheel, I promise them."

Hearing what Li Xuan said, everyone present, not only the Su family, but also many other Tyuhun people, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Many people even felt a hint of gratitude in their hearts.

A prince of the Tang Dynasty who was willing to abide by Tuyuhun's rules deserved their admiration from the bottom of their hearts.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Su Hegui bowed his hand to Li Xuan in a rare gesture. At this time, everyone else in the Su family also bowed their hands to Li Xuan: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Don't be anxious." Li Xuan snorted coldly, and the cold voice made people's hearts tremble. His eyes fell on Chi Hongzang, and then moved to Gui Runuo, and then he said faintly: "Follow Tuyuhun's rules. , I will not kill women or children below the wheel, but after that, I originally wanted to give these children to the Chi family, or your family, and let them raise these children..."

Li Xuan paused deliberately, and immediately, the faces of Chi Hongzang and Gui Runuo couldn't help but change slightly, while Su and Gui were already pale.

His hateful eyes swept over Gui Runuo and Chi Hongzang, and finally fell on Li Xuan: "Please tell me if you have any requests, Your Majesty."

Li Xuan nodded slightly and said calmly: "I can give you a choice now. I can send all the children and women in your family away, from Tuyuhun, to Datang, and to Jiangnan Road. , they can spend their lives peacefully in the south."

"Then what does the prince want?" Su Hegui stared at Li Xuan. He knew that Li Xuan would never give him such a good condition so cheaply.

"Kill yourself." Li Xuan looked at the stunned Su Hegui, put his hands behind his back, and said indifferently: "You, and all the adult males in your family, will be outside the east gate at [-]:[-] tomorrow, by the Qinghai Lake. , confess his sins, face east and commit suicide to thank the heroic spirit."

East gate, east, direction of Chang'an.

He confessed his sins and committed suicide facing east to express his gratitude to the heroic spirit.

This is to make them bear the consequences for their betrayal in the Battle of Dafeichuan.

"It's all death anyway. For the sake of the children, I admit it." Su Hegui bowed his head deeply.

"Okay, let's have good wine and food tonight, and send them on their way tomorrow." Li Xuan turned around and walked directly outside, and said at the same time: "Send an order to the whole city, and all the people in the city, to watch the execution at the east gate tomorrow."

Li Xuan's last words made everyone present raise their heads with shock on their faces!
Su Hegui's face was even more frighteningly pale, and he staggered for a moment and almost fell down.

There is nothing better than killing people and killing people's hearts. …

At two o'clock in the morning, the gate of the Protector's Mansion opened.

A team of Qianniu Guards in red and gold armor, and a team of Jinwu Guards in green and gold armor were lined up on both sides of the gate.

The streets in the city are full of right-guard cavalry patrolling back and forth.

Li Xuan, dressed in red clothes and gold armor, walked quickly out of the gate, followed closely by Cui Ding, Nan Ju, Su Bao and others.

Li Xuan got on his horse and walked slowly towards the east gate.

At the crossroads ahead, Chihongzang, Ren Enci, Guirunuo and others were all bowed and waiting by the roadside.

Li Xuan pulled the horse's rope, looked at the three of them, and asked, "Have all the people in the city passed?"

Chi Hongzang took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "Today there are eighteen places offering porridge in the city. All the people who can move around will go to the east gate after eating the porridge. Anyone who goes to the east gate can get an extra bowl." .”

The porridge in the city is thin, but the porridge in the east of the city is thick. The Tibetan soldiers who scoop out the porridge will tell the people in the city.

"Very good." Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction and looked up at Ren Enci: "How is the cleanup of various families in the city going?"

"Fourteen families of generals who were willing to repent were sealed up, and four families who were stubborn were directly exterminated." Ren Enci stepped forward and handed over his hand. He had now changed his clothes and was very clean. Unlike last night, his body was covered in dust. Bloody.

Li Xuan immediately turned to look at Gui Runuo and said: "The action last night should have been fast enough. There should not be any news sent to the north. After today's incident, you immediately lead the people to the north to dig trenches, set up iron bars, and destroy bridges. By destroying the road, I will prevent anyone from reaching Fuqi City from the north within three days."

"I will obey the order." Gui Runuo immediately took a step forward and held his hands solemnly.

Chi Hongzang and Ren Enci could not help but heave a long sigh of relief. Although they had no way to turn back now, they were absolutely unwilling to face Murong Nuohebo. Once the two sides met, it would definitely be a bloody fight to the death.

Fortunately, the King of Nanchang also didn't want to see Murong Nuohebo. They had a lot to do in these three days.

"Let's go!" Li Xuan turned around and continued to move forward. Gui Runuo, Chi Hongzang, and Ren Enci followed closely.

……

Under the east gate of Fuqi City, countless people in the city were leaving the city along both sides, holding bowls tremblingly in their hands.

The bowl I drank from before is still dry.

Outside the east gate, thousands of Youtun guards were orderly restraining the people to form a queue.

On the left and right sides, more than a dozen large pots were filled with extremely thick rice porridge, and there were many fish fragments salvaged from Qinghai Lake.

After eating this meal alone, the people would not die of hunger within three days.

Just this meal, the food that the Su family had accumulated for many years was suddenly half empty.

On the high platform in the center, Li Xuan slowly walked up. On both sides, Qianniu Guards stood solemnly and silently.

Gui Runuo, Chi Hongzang, and Ren Enci all followed behind Li Xuan.

Li Xuan nodded towards Chi Hongzang, and the next moment, Chi Hongzang was already waving to both sides.

The Chi family, the Ren family, and countless men from the Tuyuhun noble family who followed them followed the group to the north.

Your family, as well as all the nobles who surrendered last night, all moved to the south.

Immediately afterwards, with a "squeaking" sound, the men of the Suhe noble family were sent to the frontmost platform in prison cars one after another.

Untie the rope, clean your hands, place the sake, and the dagger.

Please cut yourself off.

Su Hegui knelt on the earth platform, looking at the dagger and sake in front of him, his heart filled with sadness.

The sound of the past flashed before his eyes like light and shadow.

Silently, his eyes became fierce.

Turning their heads, Su Hegui stared fiercely at Gui Runuo on the high platform behind him.

As if he would pounce immediately.

Li Xuan watched this scene calmly, then turned to look at Gui Runuo and said, "Go and give your father-in-law a ride."

"Here!" Guirunuo's mind went blank as he bowed to accept the order.

Just when he stepped off the high platform, he suddenly saw on the other side that all the men in your family, and even men from other families, also walked down from the high platform at the same time, and then walked to the earth platform. He walked behind every male member of the Su family, leaving only Su Hegui's place for him.

Gui Runuo looked at Su Hegui, whose face suddenly turned into a ferocious smile. He turned around in disbelief and looked at Li Xuan on the high platform.

Li Xuan didn't look at him, nor Su Hegui, but looked at the Qinghai Lake in front of her.

A clear, blood-red Qinghai Lake.
