Chapter 547 Where is Pu?

"I didn't expect it." Liu Qi put two suppers on the table and agreed.

"Now, the cities that Khurashan has not yet controlled can be decided by an edict." Li Gong took off his coat and said, "Khurashan is the old nest of Bingbo Silin, and the locals are also loyal to him, not to the Great Shi Kingdom. He is dead, and there is no need for the local officials and generals to continue to be loyal to the Great Shi Kingdom."

‘This is not good. The Western way of thinking is very different from that of the Eastern people. We cannot apply the ideas of the people of the Tang Dynasty to the Khurasan people.’ Liu Qi couldn’t help but think.

But he didn't say that. "I hope all the generals are willing to surrender. But this has nothing to do with us. According to the initial agreement, the entire Khorasan will be handed over to Kuss-Old Sassan, and he will restore the Persian Kingdom. Even if they are unwilling to surrender, Kuss-Old Sassan will have a headache."

"Haha, that's right." Li Gong said with a smile, sat on the chair, picked up a supper and put it in front of him, pulled out the chopsticks and started eating. Liu Qi hurriedly brought a horse stool and sat opposite him.

"Liu Qi, how do you think you should treat the body of Bingbo Silin?" After eating a few bites of rice, Li Gong said again.

"Your Highness, we are having a meal. You suddenly talk about the body. If ordinary people are, they will definitely vomit." Liu Qi said with laughter and cry.

"You are not an ordinary person either." Li Gong said with a smile, and then said, "Stop being pretentious, I will have the same meal. How do you think you should treat it?"

"If your Highness wants to alleviate the resistance of the Khorasan people, he should be buried in accordance with the etiquette of the Tianfang Cult.

However, my subordinates think it is unnecessary. Since Khorasan is going to hand it over to Kuss Sasan, why should we care about the locals’ ideas?

As for the people who were scheduled to plunder back to Anxi, they would not have any favors for our country by being forcibly plundered, and there was no need to appease their emotions. Moreover, the burial of Bossilin could only play a minor role in appeaseing these people, and it would not be worth the loss."

"It's always bad." Li Gong said, "No matter whether the locals stay, if the people who want to plunder back to Anxi are too dissatisfied, it will not be beneficial to the government."

"My subordinates still think it's not necessary." Liu Qi shook his head.

The Liaodong Han people who were later plundered by the Eight Banners as slaves were also very dissatisfied at first, but later they were willing to follow them into the pass? The most important thing is not to oppress the plundered slaves too ruthlessly, so that they can survive under normal circumstances, and at the same time give some hope to get rid of the status of slaves; burial of the mercenary is useless.

"Since you say that, you won't be buried. After the celebration banquet, you can find a random grave to throw away the body." Li Gong was convinced by Liu Qi.

"When talking about the people who want to plunder back to Anxi, how many do you plan to plunder back?" he asked again.

"Mulu City has become an empty city."

"It turns into an empty city? You're so cruel." Li Gong couldn't help saying: "Because many farmers were sneaked into the city, and some people from small cities fled to this city, with more than 200,000 people in the city. All 200,000 people were stolen?"

Before attacking Khurashan, when Liu Qi and Li Gong discussed, they said that they wanted to rob some people from Khurashan as official slaves or sell them to private individuals to supplement the population that had been lost in battle for years. However, because the eight characters were not yet mentioned, the two of them just casually said a few words and reached a consensus on how much they wanted to plunder. There was no discussion on how much they plundered.

After defeating Houmeide's army a few days ago, the capture of Mulu City became a very likely thing to realize, and the two of them officially started to discuss this matter.

Li Gong believed that even if Khurasan's Great Food Kingdom was lost, it would still be a vast country. This country would have civil strife after the war with Anxi, but after the civil strife, it would definitely attack Khurasan and try to retake it. In order to ensure that Kussan's old Sasan would not be defeated quickly, he should leave a few more people.

But Liu Qi didn't think so. Because the population loss of Anxi has been very high in wars over the years, it was impossible to recover the loss by moving Mulu City, and there was no extra person left to the Sassan family. Moreover, he just wanted to empty Mulu City's population, and many small cities were not involved in the war at all. After Kuss-old Sassan could move the population of the small city into Mulu City.

At the same time, the Sassanian family was not trustworthy at all. The rebuilt Persian strength was the best to defend Mulu City. One point more or less was not good for Anxi. In his opinion, moving Mulu City could achieve such a result, so he insisted on emptying the population.

The reason why Liu Qi did not choose to seize the house and resettle the soldiers was to make the people in the city relax their vigilance and it would be easier to "relocate" in the future.

"Kuss Sassanne made contributions to defeating the Great Food Kingdom, so it is not good to treat him harshly." After hearing Liu Qi's words, Li Gong hesitated again.

"Your Highness, this is not a harsh treatment at all. Western countries will do more than their subordinates."

"Since that's the case, let's move all the people in the city to Anxi." Li Gong finally agreed to Liu Qi's suggestion.

"But be careful, you must not let them die or suffer too many casualties on the road." He instructed again.

"Don't worry, your highness, I guarantee that at least 95% of the people can arrive at Shuye City safely." Liu Qi agreed.

After talking about this, Li Gong had nothing to discuss with Liu Qi for the time being, so he lowered his head and ate seriously. But after just a few bites, he suddenly remembered another thing and said, "Liu Qi, call your guard in."

"Why is your Highness?"

"I suddenly remembered that I still don't know He Pu's whereabouts!"
