Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

More than 100,000 Tang soldiers braved the severe cold and worked hard to defeat Tubo, wasn't it just for promotions and rewards of gold and silver?

Who would risk their lives to fight if they worked hard for months and got nothing in the end?

The little money rewarded by the court is not enough to spend.

Du He waved his hand and said, "We don't need to worry about what Princess Wencheng said. Keep your promise. You will immediately arrange for the soldiers to confiscate the property and give 30% of the wealth as rewards to the soldiers."

"Imprison all the young women in the city together, and also pick out their families."

Upon hearing Du He's order, the generals' faces changed slightly, and then they showed joy.

Sent!

I can get a lot of money this time!

You should know that Tubo plundered most of the wealth of Eastern India, Northern India and Central India, and placed it in the city of Lhasa.

The soldiers would be delighted to share this 30% of wealth.

Pei Xingjian bowed and replied, "As you command!"

King Chu Li Ke, who was sitting on the left side of the hall, did not change his expression much after hearing the order given by Du He.

He witnessed the entire battle and knew how difficult it was for the soldiers.

Giving a little bit of spoils as rewards to soldiers is nothing.

In addition, Du He, as the commander-in-chief of the army, was endowed with great power and was fully capable of distributing some wealth.

A few breaths have passed.

Du He then ordered, "General Xue, General Xi, tomorrow you will take Songtsen Gampo's coffin, all the Tibetan civil and military officials, and all the thunder bombs, and go to several Tibetan strongholds to persuade them to surrender."

"If the enemy doesn't surrender, destroy them all."

Now Tubo still has more than 8 troops left, and their main forces are scattered in more than 3 cities, resisting the siege of the three armies of Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin and Xue Wanche.

As long as the enemy forces in those three cities are destroyed, Tubo will completely lose its deterrent power.

Xue Rengui and Xi Junmai responded with serious expressions.

"I will obey your orders!"

After making arrangements.

Du He waved his hand and said, "Go down and make arrangements for tomorrow's military deployment. We'll have a hearty meal later and rest well tonight."

Not to mention that the soldiers were suffering from altitude sickness, even he felt a little uncomfortable now.

In addition to some headaches, I also feel nausea and vomiting. I'm afraid it will take several days to return to normal.

Everyone stood up and bowed.

"I will take my leave first."

Looking at these generals whose bodies showed no reaction, Du He nodded slightly.

If they also felt unwell, today's battle would not be so easy to end, and at least hundreds of people would be killed or injured.

Stand for a moment.

Du He said to Du Wu, "Go check on Cui Shenji, Wang Jingzhi, and Xiao Kai to see how they are doing."

"If their condition is serious, immediately find a Tibetan witch doctor to get some medicine."

Just as Du He finished speaking, three figures suddenly walked out of the hall, but their faces looked very pale.

Cui Shenji waved his hand and said, "Brother Du, we are fine."

"Our hands and feet are weak, so please, Brother Du, arrange two beautiful maids to take care of our daily life for the next few days."

"We are offering to hire Tibetan maids, still 20 guan each."

Wang Jingzhi and Xiao Kai, who were standing on the side, nodded vigorously.

Hey!

Still thinking about the beauty?

These three guys' faces are so pale, but they are still thinking about the beauties in Tubo. I don't know what is going on in their minds.

Although these three musketeers were a bit unreliable, they did make a lot of contributions during the time they joined the army.

They assist in completing many logistical tasks behind the scenes.

Du He glanced at them and said with a tone full of disdain: "I told you three weaklings not to follow me. Do you think you are here for a trip to Tubo?"

"I will assign a maid to each of you later, but you must not act recklessly."

"If you die in Tibet because of your lust for beauty, I will abandon your corpses in the wilderness and let wild wolves devour your bodies."

Well...

The expressions of the Three Musketeers paused slightly.

The three of them touched their noses in disappointment, then made faces and spoke.

"Brother Du, we are not that kind of people!"

"We are feeling a little uncomfortable right now. We simply want a maid to serve us. Please don't slander the three of us."

Ha ha.

Still being stubborn.

Du He raised his eyebrows and said, "Then I will arrange three 60-year-old ladies for you to take good care of your daily life."

"Let the three of you feel the love and care from a mother."

Upon hearing Du He's words, the faces of the Three Musketeers changed drastically.

They didn't dare to continue pretending to be noble, for fear that Du He would really arrange for a few aunts to come over.

Cui Shenji quickly said, "Brother Du, please don't do this. We were wrong. Please don't hold grudges."

The other two also quickly echoed.

Wait until they finish speaking.

Du He didn't talk nonsense with them, but shook his head and said, "You came to see me now, but do you have something important to report?"

If there was nothing important, these three people would not come here at this time.

Cui Shenji's face was solemn. "Brother Du, Fang Yiai and his soldiers just now broke into the homes of Tibetan people and looted all their gold, silver and valuables."

"How do you think we should deal with this matter?"

What?

Without his order, Fang Yiai took people to plunder wealth without authorization?

How dare this guy?

When Du He heard the news brought by Cui Shenji, his face became solemn.

Think for a moment.

Du He asked in a deep voice, "How are they going to deal with that batch of gold and silver?"

"Put it in your own pocket?"

Violating military discipline is a serious crime. If you set a bad example, it will be difficult to lead the team in the future.

Cui Shenji shook his head. "They concentrated all the looted wealth and didn't hide it. Fang Yiai explained that if they plundered the wealth in advance, the army could return home sooner."

"If I don't stop them in advance, Fang Yiai and the others will probably continue to plunder wealth."

It turned out to be the case.

It seems that Fang Yiai is worried that he won't be able to see his father for the last time, and he is a little anxious.

Du He said in a deep voice, "Brother Cui, take your men to investigate again. If the soldiers under Fang Yiai's command haven't hidden any money, then we can let this matter go."

"I've already ordered Pei Xingjian to plunder the wealth, so it's better for them to start early."

There was a pause.

Du He said in a deep voice, "Tell Fang Yiai that his behavior has violated military discipline. Let him receive the 20 military sticks himself."

Although Fang Yiai had his reasons for doing this, he still had to be punished.

"it is good!"

Cui Shenji nodded, then took Wang Jingzhi and Xiao Kai out of the hall.

Half an hour later.

Zhang Shizheng came in and reported, "Master, Princess Wencheng wants to see you."

Du He nodded and said, "Bring her in."

"promise."

Zhang Shizheng took the order and left quickly.

Not long after, Princess Wencheng, wearing a colorful fur coat, walked into the hall with a complicated expression.

After some greetings.

Princess Wencheng bowed and said, "Duke Hanguo, Tubo will no longer exist, and the people living on this land will become citizens of the Tang Dynasty."

"Could you please show some mercy and give them a chance to live?"
