Chapter 1517 Appease
Su Cheng didn't do anything to the two thousand old, weak, sick and disabled who surrendered, but just took care of them all after they were disarmed.
Xue Wanche and his friends led the cavalry to visit the entire city and found that there were indeed only a few defenders in the city, without any other troops.
"Duke, we have all inspected the city. There are indeed only a few soldiers guarding the city." Xue Wanche replied, with a hint of surprise in his tone.
It is really amazing to have only two thousand old, weak, sick and disabled defending the city in such a big city.
Su Cheng smiled and nodded, "It seems that Qin Ling is very confident and wants to concentrate his troops to take the initiative to defeat us in one fell swoop."
Xue Wanche smiled and said, "The British Duke and his team must have finished fighting long ago, right? Qin Ling and the others probably never dreamed that we would directly divide the troops and attack Luoshecheng."
Qi Ben and Ben Danbu were shocked when they listened. The Tang army already knew that Qinling had led the troops to attack, and the Tang army dared to divide their troops to attack Luosiecheng, which shows how confident they have.
Thinking of this, Qi Ben and Ben Danbu felt a slump. Has the battle been over? I don’t know what the result is?
Before, they expected Qin Ling to come to help soon, but now they are in despair.
Especially Ben Shanbu was even more desperate. Now that the Tang army has attacked the city, even if Qin Ling led the army back to the rescue, can he regain some cities from the Tang army?
Although he had only experienced it for a while, he had already gained a full understanding of Tang Jun's firearms.
The Tang army's firearms were very powerful, unexpectedly powerful, and they were so powerful when used to attack cities, let alone defend cities.
Li Yun brought the cavalry back and reported: "Duke, the city gate in the south has been opened, and many people have escaped from the city gate in the south. Do you want to take people to pursue it?"
Su Cheng smiled and waved his hand, "Forget it, I haven't escaped many people, let them go."
There were not many soldiers in the city, and the ones who fled were not wary, and these people had no value for pursuing them. After escaping back, they would only panic Lu Dongzan's soldiers.
Qi Ben and Ben Danbu heard that someone had escaped, and the Tang army did not intend to pursue him, so they were very envious.
However, no matter how envy is, nowadays, people are doing things for fish and can only survive in adversity.
Qi Ben said respectfully: "Lois cities are not as prosperous as the Tang Dynasty's cities, so I can only ask the Duke to condescend to move into the palace."
Su Cheng smiled and shook his head, "I'll be spared if I go to the palace. I'm a little overbearing. Just find some other place to live."
Xue Wanche asked, "Apart from the palace, is there anything else that can be watched?"
Ben Shanbu and Qi Ben looked at each other in a little embarrassed manner, and smiled bitterly: "In the city, there are only the most luxurious ones in the Grand Prime Minister's Mansion."
They knew in their hearts that after they said this, they could never return to the camp of Lu Dongzan and his son.
"Da Prime Minister's Mansion? Are Lu Dongzan's family still there?" Su Cheng asked with a raised eyebrows.
"You are the Duke of the Kingdom, and the family of Da Prime Minister are all in Da Prime Minister's Mansion." Qi Ben replied happily.
It was Qin Ling who abandoned his family himself, but he was not considered to be on their heads. It was just a pity that the beauty of the Da Prime Minister's Mansion.
Su Cheng pondered and said, "Forget it, let them continue to live in the Grand Prime Minister's Mansion. Just take care of it carefully, don't make things difficult for them, but don't let them escape."
"The Duke of the State is so kind-hearted!" Qi Ben bowed and said.
Su Cheng smiled and said, "The army will definitely be completely unfair to enter the city. Fortunately, please post a notice to inform the people of some cities so that everyone will not panic and do whatever they should do."
After hearing this, Qi Ben quickly agreed.
Su Cheng waved his hand and smiled, "Look more Chinese-speaking people to act as translators, okay, you guys go and do it."
Qi Ben and Bendan Bu bowed and left. After leaving, they couldn't help looking at each other.
Ben Shanbu scratched his head and said, "It's just like this? There was no killing or looting? Why is it like a dream? Tang Jun is really so kind?"
Qi Ben pondered: "We Tubo fought south and north over the years, and we don't talk about anything else, but countless treasures have been piled up in the palace. The Tang army did not loot, but was so kind and righteous, which only shows that they had a great goal."
Ben Danbu was puzzled after hearing this: "What is the big picture? What else can they do?"
Qi Ben said in a deep voice: "It may be a purpose of the entire Tubo!"
Ben Danbu couldn't help but take a breath and said in a deep voice: "What? What do you mean is the Tang army is not here to loot? Instead, it is to occupy our Tubo?"
Qi Ben nodded slightly and said, "It is very likely that, do you think, if the Tang army was trying to loot, would they still be so kind and righteous after the city was broken? They would definitely loot immediately, and then return with a full load of finance before Da Xiang returned to the army."
"But now? They don't kill or rob, but instead want to appease the people. If it's not for the complete occupation, what do you think they want to do?"
Dan Bu was dumbfounded. He had thought that even if the Tang army occupied Luosie City, he would withdraw soon. He never expected that the Tang army wanted to occupy the entire Tubo.
Therefore, Qinling's analysis is completely wrong! Therefore, even if Qinling does not lead the army and takes the initiative to attack, the Tang army will eventually attack Luosicheng.
Immediately, Qin Ling was a little discouraged again. Even if Qin Ling did not take the initiative to attack, so what? The gates of Luoshecheng would still be lost!
Ben Danbu asked in a low voice: "Qi Ben, what should we do?"
Qi Ben sighed: "There are two questions in front of us now. The first question is, will Da Xiang forgive us?"
Ben Shanbu pondered: "Lois City was defeated for the crime of non-war. No one can defend this situation. It should not be blamed, right?"
Qi Ben pondered: "The great prime minister may not blame him, but what about Shang Lu? Shang Lun is not a generous person. Will he bear the blame on himself?"
Danbu's face turned pale when he heard this. Qin Ling is indeed not a generous person! Even if Da Xiang doesn't blame him, he will definitely be dissatisfied with them. If Qin Ling wants to deal with them, they will definitely die.
Ben Danbu hurriedly said, "Then, what should I do?"
Qi Ben said in a deep voice: "So, there is a second question. Do you think Da Xiang Hui can win?"
After hearing this, Danbu couldn't help but think. In his opinion, the great star was indeed a hero, but if it was still worse than Songtsen Gampo, but Songtsen Gampo was defeated by the Tang army.
Now that Da Xiang is facing such a complicated situation, Ben Shanbu pondered: "I think Da Xiang is unlikely to defeat the Tang army. I don't know the other army, but the Shenji Camp that entered the city has their firearms really powerful and well-trained. In our Tubo, we are also the elite among the elite."
