I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

Li Jing's face was full of anger and helplessness, and he was worried about the future of the Tang Dynasty.

Xue Rengui weighed the pros and cons, trying to find a proper solution.

Hou Junji was speaking for Qin Ruzhao.

Amidst this controversy, the fate of the Tang Dynasty seemed to become unclear.

How to quell this wave became a difficult problem facing these generals.

Every decision they make will affect the future of the Tang Dynasty, whether it is military, diplomacy or the lives of the people.

As time passed, the sky outside the tent gradually darkened.

In the end, Li Jing sighed helplessly.

"Okay, stop arguing. Right or wrong doesn't matter anymore. There's only one solution now."

He raised his head slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of determination and loneliness.

"I'm old, it's time to retire."

"From now on, this court and this battlefield will be handed over to you young people."

As he spoke, his gaze slowly fell on Qin Ruzhao, and his expression became complicated, with regret and helplessness.

"You are still young, and you may not understand many of the things I say."

Li Jing's tone became gentler, like an elder giving earnest advice.

"When I was your age, I was the same. I was full of ambition and high aspirations. I always thought I was right and refused to listen to anything."

"But time will make people understand many things. When you reach my age, maybe you will understand what I mean today."

After saying this, he looked at Hou Junji sharply, with a warning in his eyes.

"Don't try to imitate Hou Junji in the future."

Hou Junji felt a little uncomfortable with Li Jing's glare. Although he had a bad temper and was usually fearless, he still didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Li Jing.

After all, Li Jing has a very high prestige in the army and has made great military achievements.

He opened his mouth, wanting to retort, but held back, just snorted and turned his head away.

"The matter of General Qin..."

Xue Rengui said.

Li Jing also glared at Xue Rengui.

"What's the matter? General Qin did nothing. He just followed my orders."

"The Tibetans stubbornly resisted and were destroyed. This was only natural."

After hearing Li Jing's words, Qin Ruzhao, Xue Rengui and Hou Junji were all puzzled. They looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.

Qin Ruzhao frowned. He really didn't understand why Li Jing suddenly changed his words. This was very different from his previous attitude.

Xue Rengui also looked bewildered.

"General Li, what are you doing..."

Qin Ruzhao was about to speak when Li Jing raised his hand to interrupt him.

He lowered his voice.

"I'm telling you, I'm not a kind-hearted person, but everything must be within the rules."

He paused.

He whispered to the three generals.

"In the attack on Tubo, our army suffered heavy casualties. Twenty thousand Kunlun slaves and ten thousand Turkic troops were completely wiped out!"

As soon as Li Jing said this.

All three looked at him in shock.

Wang Xianhuai stood there quietly, looking at the two mutilated corpses in front of him.

He suddenly raised his knife and cut off the two heads.

The two heads rolled on the ground, blood dripping.

"Go, have them preserve it with quicklime. I want to take it back to Chang'an."

Wang Xianhuai's voice was deep and hoarse.

"Yes! Commander!"

Two Jinyiwei responded in unison, one of them stepped forward, picked up a head, and walked out quickly.

Their expressions were serious and their steps were steady.

Another Jinyiwei came up with a basin of clean water and carefully placed it next to Wang Xianhuai.

Wang Xianhuai slowly squatted down, put his blood-stained hands into the basin, and vigorously scrubbed them.

The basin of clear water soon turned red, and after washing his hands repeatedly, they finally returned to their original color.

He took the cloth handed to him by his subordinate, dried his hands carefully, then turned around and picked up Lu Jingsuo's spirit tablet.

"Jing Suo, I will vent your anger for you first."

He spoke softly, as if Lu Jingsuo was right beside him.
