The fourth more is sent, asking for a monthly pass "You're in Xiangyang, I'll go to Fangzhou, and I'll be back soon."
Li Chao plans to go to Fangzhou in person, and now the news is still blocked, but the blockade will not last long, if he can't quickly calm down the matter, then it will be a huge blow to his prestige.
At that time, it will be even more difficult to carry out this disaster relief and prevention work.
It's not far to go to Fangzhou, but the road is difficult, and it's a march to fight, Li Chao doesn't plan to take Li Chengqian with him, it's a bit risky.
"Did the teacher go to Fangzhou to encircle and suppress the barbarians and rebel?"
Li Chao nodded.
"It's to kill them all" "Blood for blood must be repaid."
If it were usual, Li Chao might still consider appeasement or something, but at this time, it is too sensitive, Li Chao can't show weakness at all, he must be tough.
But even if he kills, Li Chao actually doesn't have any psychological burden, those people slaughter a city in a fit of anger, this kind of ruthlessness and blood, they deserve to be exterminated.
"I'm going too" "You stay, it's a battlefield, you think it's a child's play" Li Chengqian was not convinced, "Teacher, didn't you say that you want to train me to become a qualified prince, the emperor and the emperor have galloped on the battlefield, can't I even go to the battlefield, besides, I just exterminate a group of barbarians, I follow the teacher, what danger can there be, I just go to open my eyes, take a look at what the battlefield is like, and know what the real war looks like." ” This reason made Li Chao difficult to refuse.
If it was an ordinary courtier, he would definitely not dare to bring the seven-year-old prince to the war, even if it was just a war to encircle and suppress the barbarians, after all, the son of a daughter would not be able to sit down.
However, Li Chao has never been an ordinary person, he thought about it for a while, and felt that it was not impossible to take Li Chengqian.
"You can take it with you, but you have to listen to me, and when you get to the army, you can do everything according to the military orders."
"I know."
Cheng Qian replied with some excitement.
As soon as he said to go, Li Chao took Cheng Qian and a thousand guards out of Xiangyang in the name of inspection that day.
The soldiers and horses went out of Xiangyang, took a boat to go up the Han River, and after arriving at Gucheng, they entered the Zhuhe River, a tributary of the Han River.
Reverse the river and enter Fangzhou.
Along the way, Li Chao gathered several government soldiers urgently recruited by the military government and quickly marched westward.
After passing Fangling County, the troops abandoned the boat and landed and took the land route instead.
After many days of marching, Li Chao and his entourage finally arrived at the intersection of the blocked water and the Kongyang water.
At this point, not far from the Kongyang River, it is Shangyong City.
It has been more than ten days since Shangyong was broken, and it has not yet reached Shangyong, but for dozens of miles around it, it has been ruined everywhere, without people, and it is all ruins.
The tragic situation shows the tragedy of the brutal people coming down the mountain that day.
There were even many corpses exposed in the fields on the side of the road, and Cheng Qian, who was dressed in a set of specially made leather armor, looked at the tragic scene, couldn't help but turn pale, his stomach cramped, and he tried his best to suppress it, so he barely let himself vomit.
"Xiangguo, whether you are camping here, Shangyong City is twenty miles to the west, but it is already a ghost town, full of corpses, a ruin, even the corpse capital has not been collected, if it passes, I am worried that there will be diseases and plagues."
Li Chao looked at the Fangzhou assassin who followed him with dissatisfaction, so many days have passed.
But Fangzhou didn't do anything, and he didn't even dare to come over to collect the corpse.
Looking back, at this time, Li Chao had gathered more than 5,000 soldiers and horses around him.
In addition to the one thousand he himself brought, there were four thousand soldiers.
Five thousand people is not much, but Li Chao feels that it is enough.
The barbarians were not strong, and although they were strong, they lacked organization, were poorly armoured, and had poor armor.
Attacking Shangyong City does not mean that they are so powerful, and they are not opponents when they fight against five thousand regular Tang troops.
However, if they hide in the mountains and fight guerrilla warfare with the officials and soldiers, they are not easy to deal with by knowing the terrain well.
"Send a few guides into the mountains and send letters from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Benxiang to the barbarian chiefs, telling them that as long as they are willing to accept surrender, the court is willing to carry on the past.
Not only did they not hold them accountable, but they even gave them some of the mediocre fields. ” Li Chao's words made Fangzhou Assassin Shi stunned, and the other generals and officials didn't understand.
"Go ahead and tell them that you only get one chance.
If they refuse to submit, then they will be surrounded and cleanly suppressed.
If they will turn back, then they will come down to the mountain and receive the surrender and receive the pardon."
Fangzhou Thorn Shi chose several hunters as guides and entered the mountain with letters.
"The teacher really wants to pardon these brutes" In the temporary account, Li Chengqian asked Li Chao.
In addition to Li Chengqian, there was a group of Li Chao's students such as Cheng Chumo Shangguanyi, this time the group of little children, only Li Chengqian came, and the rest did not come, but Li Chao's military attache students all came.
Listening to Li Chengqian's question, Niu Jianhu and the others just smiled.
At this time, how could it be possible to let go of the barbarians.
"The teacher wants to deceive those brutes" "That's not called cheating, soldiers don't get tired of cheating."

"But isn't that still a lie, it's not good, people can't stand without faith."
Li Chengqian said.
Li Chao sighed, "Then you have to look at what kind of people you are right about, who are they who slaughtered a county town, killed thousands of people, and looted the surrounding city slaughterers, they are not even people."
As long as there is a way to destroy them as quickly as possible, I don't care what the means are.
Faith also depends on the object, and for that group of barbarians, there is no need to talk about faith. ” Li Chao waited at the bottom of the mountain for three days.
Three days later, the guide led a group of people down the mountain.
It is the messenger of the barbarians, they are very careful and cautious, even nervous and afraid.
Li Chao met them in person, and asked the prince to meet them together.
Li Chao said a word of rebuke to these people, and said something that he could understand, and finally proposed that they could be pardoned.
Prince Chengqian personally came out to guarantee Li Chao's words, and took out a stack of pardon documents for the barbarian leaders.
"The imperial court can pardon you, the past is not to blame, there is only one request for you, all the people come down the mountain to receive a pardon in person, and at the same time register on the official register, and from then on become the people of the Tang Dynasty.
As long as it is registered, the past is not to blame, and the imperial court will give each of you 20 acres of land and 80 acres of mountains and forests, and future generations will abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and you can enjoy peace and tranquility forever. ” "I'll give you three days to think about it" The messenger departed.
"Teacher, will they really come down the mountain?"
"Maybe, maybe not, we can give it a try, no, it's not too late to go up the mountain to encircle and suppress it" If you go down the mountain, you can get pardon, and you can divide the fields and mountains, and this appeasement condition is still very tempting.
And it is not surprising that the imperial court often does this for those barbarians.
Li Chao felt that there was still a chance of success, even if the barbarians were not fooled, it didn't matter, these days when Li Chao sent guides to communicate with the barbarians, he was actually already collecting information on their village locations, offensive routes, defensive status, and the number of young and strong barbarians.
Even if the barbarian didn't come down the mountain, Li Chao didn't wait for the past few days in vain, he got what he wanted.
"What if the barbarian really came down the mountain?"
Li Chao just smiled coldly at this question and didn't answer, such a question doesn't need to be answered at all t1706231537:
