This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 814 Volume will truly go down in history!
When the Khiti Samana stood at the gate of Kushinagar.

I am also filled with emotion.

A small Kushinagar took up too much of their time.

Although the price paid is not too much.

But it did waste too much time.

"General Zhao, Magistrate Mangbo, let's go up to the top of the city wall together to take a look?" Seeing that the two people on his left and right had interested expressions, Khitan Shaman no longer expressed his feelings.

"To be honest, I also want to see who this Kushinagar commander is." Upon hearing this, Mangbo Jiesunbo also smiled and said, "It's not that I look down on these guys from Northern Tianzhu, but I really admire the fact that Northern Tianzhu has such a person.

Regardless of whether he is an enemy or not, he can be called a hero!"

Mangpo Jiesunpo was really impressed by this Kushinagar commander whom he had never met before.

Not only him, the other two also nodded when they heard this.

"Yes, although this person is not from the Ming Dynasty, if he is willing, this general is willing to introduce him to me."

They all hang out in the military, so it's no surprise that they sympathize with each other.

But to be honest, if you want to win the respect of people like them, you do need to demonstrate certain abilities.

Trash will never be respected in any era.

Without saying anything more, the Khitan monks immediately dismounted and walked towards the top of the city wall.

But when they walked to the top of the city wall, they were all stunned.

They didn't expect to see such a scene.

Seeing this, Qibi Shamen also sighed and said, "He is indeed worthy of our admiration. Give him a respectful burial. Even if he is an enemy, he has won the admiration of this general."

"Indeed, as a soldier, he should be a role model for our generation." Zhao Yan sighed when he heard this.

At this moment, all they saw was a tough guy with a broken leg and a weapon in his hand, but he tied himself to the flagpole in order to stand up so that the army could see him.

Even if they were enemies, they couldn't help but feel admiration for them.

Seeing this, Mangbo Jiesunbo also shook his head and said, "He deserves respect, even respect from every soldier."

They can't help but respect such people.

"According to the customs of Northern India, he should be cremated." Mangbo Jiesunbo looked at the high platform piled with firewood and said, "I think he had made this preparation from the beginning, but he didn't expect that he couldn't achieve this goal even until his death.

I think this is his biggest regret.”

"Then let's fulfill his wish." Khibi Shaman did not hesitate at all. He immediately had someone take it down from the flagpole and put it on the platform. Then he personally took the torch and lit the pile of firewood.

"This should be his greatest honor." Looking at the fire spreading, Zhao Yan said emotionally, "He really lived and died with the Kushinagar!"

No matter from which point of view, being able to win the respect and admiration of your opponents is an ability in itself.

Moreover, they knew very well that their ability to capture Kushinagar did not mean that they were much stronger than the general.

More importantly, it is because they have incomparable military equipment advantages over Northern India.

If their roles were reversed, they might not be able to do better than this general.

After the fire was extinguished, Khiti Samana said, "Send someone to find out the general's name, and then have someone erect a monument for him."

Having done so much, the Khitan monk is not reluctant to do more.

Zhao Yan and others had no objections. They even understood that even if Li Chengqian knew about it, he would not have any objection.

Loyalty to the emperor should be respected no matter where you are.

At this moment, one of his subordinates hurriedly ran up from the top of the city wall and said, "General, there is news from Yalong River that Siam has surrendered, and at the same time, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was assassinated in Siam."

"This news came from Yalong River?" Khitan Shamen was a little bit unbelievable when he heard it.

It’s not that he had any doubts about Siam’s surrender, but he didn’t care about that.

What really concerned him was that the news came from Yalong River.

His subordinates nodded upon hearing this and confirmed it again.

"What is your highness's reaction?" Khiti Samana asked hurriedly.

Mangbo Jiesunbo and Zhao Yan on the side also immediately came out of their previous feelings and looked carefully at the subordinates of Khitan Shamen.

Seeing that everyone was staring at him, the subordinate did not hesitate and said quickly: "There is no movement in Yalong River for the time being. I heard that His Highness has only sent a consolation delegation to the south, and at the same time ordered the Secret Service to keep an eye on the movements of Taohe County at all times."

"Is that all?" asked the Khitan Monk. "Your Highness has no intention of returning to the court?"

"No." Upon hearing this, the subordinate hurriedly said, "I heard that Your Highness doesn't even intend to return to Sun Moon Mountain."

"That shouldn't be a big deal." Seeing the puzzled look on Qibi Shamen's face, Zhao Yan said, "According to your highness's style of doing things, if there really is something big, even if you don't return to Sun Moon Mountain, you will bring the princess and others to your side."

He knew Li Chengqian very well, and the person Li Chengqian cared about most was none other than Changle.

When something like this happens, His Highness should be most worried about Changle's safety.

Since Your Highness has no such concerns, I guess the matter is not that serious.

Besides, the news that the Tang Emperor was assassinated in Siam had already reached Yalong River. If anything happened to the Tang Emperor, they would not be able to catch up.

How long has it taken to go back and forth?
"Your Highness ordered the Secret Service to keep an eye on Taohe County in order to guard against any unusual movements by the King of Shu?" Mangbojie Sunbo asked after hearing this.

He was born into a family of Subi Kings and was quite familiar with these intrigues.

"That should be the case." Zhao Yan said, "If something happens to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Taohe County will definitely be affected. At this time, keeping an eye on Taohe County is the best way to deal with it.

Moreover, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty must have encountered many assassination attempts over the years, but was there ever a single attempt where anyone succeeded?

Most importantly, the fact that the news reached Yalong River was something that shouldn’t have happened.”

He joined the army in the Tang Dynasty. Although he was only in the Eastern Palace at that time, how many jobs could he have in the Eastern Palace?
He may not know Li Er well, but he definitely knows much more about him than the other two.

On the other hand, the Khitan monk did not say a word when he heard this.

He was not actually thinking about this question, but curiously asked: "General Zhao, Magistrate of Mangbo, why do you think His Highness sent this news to us?"

This is what puzzled him.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has been assassinated. If Your Highness needs us, we will return to the capital.

Could it be that the Khitan monk dared not to listen to the proclamation?

But when this news reached them, there was no other decree or oral order from His Highness, which gave him more thoughts.

“Your Highness, do you think our progress is too slow?” Mangpo Jiesunpo asked with some doubt, “After all, we have delayed in Kushinagar for too long. Siam has already surrendered as a whole country, and it is only today that we have taken over this small Kushinagar.” “This general thinks so too,” said Khibi Samana, “but this matter, alas…”

After saying this, Khitan Shaman also let out a long sigh.

He was also anxious, but Kushinagar had indeed taken too much of their time.

"Your Highness wants to tell us that a crisis is coming." Zhao Yan didn't think too much about it and said immediately, "Think about it, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was assassinated, and the most important thing is to find out who the murderer is.

But given the current situation, it is hard not to suspect our Ming Dynasty.

You know, if the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty really passed away at this moment, it would be a godsend opportunity for Your Highness.

There is no need for any hesitation. We should immediately march our troops eastward and reach Chang'an.

But His Highness did nothing, which means that His Highness may know more, or even know the current situation of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

In other words, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty should be fine.

If this happens, it will be embarrassing for the Ming Dynasty. No matter whether it is true or not, someone will throw the dirty water on us."

"Now that you put it that way, it does make sense." Upon hearing this, Qibi Shamen nodded. His father the Khan was assassinated, which is why his brother was able to become the Khan of the Qibi tribe at a young age.

How could he not understand this?
And Mangbo Jiesunbo also looked in agreement.

"Your Highness, are you going to urge us to go south and let the world know what the Ming Dynasty is doing?"

"It can be regarded as a silent defense." The Khiti Samana said, "So, let the world know that I, the Great Ming, will defeat the Kushinagar in more than a month."

At this time, another soldier climbed up to the top of the city wall and said, "General, the people in the city are unwilling to surrender and are now fighting with our Ming army.

The captain asked his men to ask if they could use gunpowder bombs to attack indiscriminately in the city.

Upon hearing this, the Khitan monk, whose thoughts had just been interrupted, suddenly had an idea. He gritted his teeth and said, "Inform all the troops that from the day you capture the city, you must not stop fighting for ten days! The Ming Dynasty has already suffered heavy losses in Kushinagar, and these people don't know how to advance or retreat. How can we let them go?"

"Massacre?" If you don't put down your sword for ten days, what's the difference between that and massacre? Zhao Yan immediately shouted in surprise.

"Massacre the city if you want! I will bear the bad name." Qibi Shamen said, "Nowadays, there are countless people in the Tang Dynasty who suspect that the assassination of the Tang emperor was done by the Ming Dynasty. At this time, we must use a bigger event to drown out this matter and let everyone's discussion focus on me.

Moreover, although Kushinagar's actions did not ultimately stop the Ming Dynasty's cavalry, they did create certain obstacles to the Ming Dynasty's southern expedition.

If all the cities that follow the example of Kushinagar, how long will it take for the Ming Dynasty to conquer Northern India?

The massacre in the city was also a way to intimidate them.

Besides, the city has been breached, but they are still resisting stubbornly. Do they really think that the sword of the Ming Dynasty is not weak?"

Although it was for deterrence, Mangbo Jiesunbo and Zhao Yan both knew that Khitan Shamen was helping Li Chengqian share the pressure and was even risking his own reputation.

You know, massacre in a city has always had a bad reputation.

Let’s not talk about the distant past, let’s just talk about the recent past. Su Dingfang of the Tang Dynasty was suppressed by Li Er for so many years just because he killed the surrendered soldiers. The Khitan monk committed a massacre in the city. If this news were to get out, not to mention the civil servants of the Tang Dynasty, even in the Ming Dynasty, there would probably be many people who would criticize him.

What's more, there are still hundreds of thousands of Kusinagara people now. If they are massacred, it is estimated that it will shock the world more than Bai Qi's massacre of 300,000 surrendered soldiers back then.

But when they thought about it carefully, they realized that he was right.

If this news were to get out, some people might discuss who assassinated Li Er, but there definitely wouldn't be that many people.

Definitely.

After all, the assassination of Li Er, whether Li Er was dead or not, was just one person. Moreover, the killing of emperors in the streets had happened before. For such things, the common people would at most discuss them for a while.

But if he massacred the city, the notoriety of the Khitan monk would probably spread throughout the world, and even have the effect of stopping a child from crying.

The practices of the Khitan monks were actually similar to those of the Koreans in later generations. Their politicians used public opinion to suppress public opinion.

If Li Chengqian heard what Khitan Shamen said, he might transfer him to Daming Daily to replace Chen Dingan.

"In that case, I will go crazy with you for once!" Zhao Yan thought for a moment, then laughed out loud, "If I get a bad reputation in the future, I will be remembered in history!"

Zhao Yan's position has always been firm. Although he doesn't want to do such a thing, if doing so can help his prince solve the biggest trouble at the moment, he will definitely not back down.

Seeing that Zhao Yan had expressed his opinion, Mangbo Jiesunbo also smiled and said, "How can I be left out of this matter? Am I not worthy of being recorded in history?"

After he finished speaking, the three of them burst into laughter.

At this moment, it seemed as if the relationship between the three of them had become closer.

As the three of them made up their minds, military orders were passed down one by one.

Even the Khitan Shaman added that there is no need to chase those who have escaped.

The purpose is to spread the news through various channels.

That night, the entire Kushinagar became a hell on earth.

Countless people were killing and looting. Even the three Khitan monks who gave the orders personally could not bear to watch the scene.

But even so, they did not take back their orders.

Because they knew very well that this time, they had to do it.

Only in this way can we pull our prince out of that whirlpool, but no one knows whether doing so will drag Li Chengqian into a new whirlpool.

But at this point, this was their best option.

As for the people of Kushinagar, they don't care.

Although there were rarely large-scale massacres in the Ming Dynasty's previous conquests, if they really encountered such stubborn and recalcitrant guys, they would just kill them.

Complacency is the most basic human conscience.

Killing people indiscriminately was their only option.

this is the truth.

Many people may not understand why they die until they die.

But some people can decide the life and death of an entire city with just a single word.

Within a few days, the tragic situation in Kushinagar spread.

Especially in some cities in Northern India, when they received the news, they were shocked, angry, and finally terrified.

Massacre of a city, what a new word I haven't heard in many years...

But today, they heard, along with the massacre, they also heard three names, Khitan Shaman, Mangpo Jiesunpo, and Zhao Yan.

No matter what happens to them in the Tang Dynasty in the future, from the moment they issued the order, they will truly be remembered in the history of Northern Tianzhu...
