The fourth update is here, please give me a monthly ticket!

"You are in Xiangyang, I will go to Fangzhou and I will go back soon."

Li Chao planned to go to Fangzhou in person. The news is still blocked, but it will not be blocked for too long. If he cannot quickly calm the matter down, it will be a huge blow to his prestige. By then, the disaster relief and prevention work will be even more difficult to carry out.

It's not too far to go to Fangzhou, but the road is difficult and it's a marching war. Li Chao didn't plan to take Li Chengqian with him, so that's a bit of a risk.

"Did the teacher go to Fangzhou to encircle the Tuman rebellion?"

Li Chao nodded.

"Do you want to kill them all?"

"You must return blood to blood." If it were normal, Li Chao might also consider scruples, but at this time, it is too sensitive. Li Chao cannot show weakness at all, and must be tough. However, even if it is suppressed, Li Chao actually has no psychological burden. Those people slaughter a city in anger. This kind of ruthless blood is worthy of their punishment.

"I'm going too!"

"You stay, that's the battlefield. Do you think it's a play for a family?"

Li Chengqian was dissatisfied, "Teacher, didn't you say you wanted to train me to become a qualified prince? The Supreme Emperor and the Emperor have both galloped on the battlefield. Can't I even go to the battlefield? Besides, I just wiped out a group of terror. What danger can I have when I am with the teacher? I just go and open my eyes and see what the battlefield looks like, and know what the real war looks like."

This reason made it difficult for Li Chao to refuse.

If an ordinary minister was a man, he would definitely not dare to bring the seven-year-old prince to the war. Even if it was just a war to encircle the land and barbarians, after all, the son of a daughter could not sit in the hall. However, Li Chao had never been an ordinary person. After thinking for a while, he felt that it was not impossible to take Li Chengqian.

"You can bring you with you, but you must listen to me. When you arrive in the army, you will follow the military orders."

"I know." Cheng Qian replied excitedly.

He left at will. On that day, Li Chao took Chengqian and a thousand imperial guards out of Xiangyang in the name of patrol. The troops and horses left Xiangyang, took a boat to go up the Han River first, and after reaching Gucheng, he entered the Han River tributary to build a river.

Go up the river and enter Fangzhou.

Along the way, Li Chao joined forces with several military troops who were urgently recruited by the military government and quickly advanced westward.

After passing Fangling County, the troops abandoned their boats and landed on land.

After many days of marching, Li Chao and his party finally arrived at the intersection of Dushui and Kongyang water.

At this point, not far up the Kongyang water, it is Shangyong City.

It has been more than ten days since Shangyong was destroyed. I haven’t reached Shangyong yet, but dozens of miles around it are already broken, uninhabited, and full of ruins.

The tragic situation shows the tragic situation when Tuman went down the mountain that day.

There were even many corpses exposed in the fields on the roadside. Cheng Qian, wearing a specially customized leather armor, looked at the tragic scene, couldn't help but turn pale, stomach cramps, and tried his best to suppress it, so he could barely let himself vomit.

"Crime, is it camping here? Shangyong City is twenty miles west, but it is already a ghost city with corpses and ruins. Even the corpses have not been restrained. If it goes over, I am worried about the disease and plague."

Li Chao looked at the Fangzhou governor who was following him in dissatisfaction. It had been so many days since the incident.

But Fangzhou did not do anything at all and did not even dare to come over to restrain the body.

Looking back, more than 5,000 soldiers had gathered around Li Chao at this time. In addition to the one thousand he brought himself, there were also four thousand soldiers in the palace.

Five thousand people were not many, but Li Chao felt that it was enough. The Tuman was not strong. Although they were strong, they lacked organization, lacked military equipment, and had poor armor.

Attacking Shangyong City does not mean that they are so powerful. They are not opponents when fighting against the five thousand regular Tang troops. However, if they hide in the deep mountains and fight guerrillas with the official army, they will not be easy to deal with because they are familiar with the terrain.

"Send a few guides into the mountain to send letters from His Royal Highness and the Prime Minister to the Tuman leader, telling them that as long as they are willing to accept the surrender, the court is willing to continue to blame. Not only will they not be held accountable, but they will even share some of Shangyong's land."

Li Chao's words made the governor of Fangzhou dazed, and the other generals and school officials didn't understand.

"Go and tell them that there is only one chance. If they refuse to surrender, then the true minister will encircle them. If they are willing to turn back, then go down the mountain to accept the surrender and receive the pardon document!"

The governor of Fangzhou selected several hunters as guides and brought letters to the mountain.

"The teacher really wants to pardon these terrifying men?"

In the temporary account, Li Chengqian asked Li Chao. In addition to Li Chengqian, there were a group of Li Chao's students such as Cheng Chumo Shangguan Yi. This time, only Li Chengqian came, and the rest did not come, but Li Chao's military officers and students came.

Listening to Li Chengqian’s question, Niu Jianhu and others just smiled.

At this time, how could it be possible to let Tuman go?

"The teacher wants to deceive those rustic men?"

"That's not called fraud, it's just a fool."

"But isn't that still a cheat? It's not good to do this. People can't stand without trust." Li Chengqian said.

Li Chao sighed, "Then you have to see who is right? Who are those Tumans? They are the massacres who slaughtered a county town, killed thousands of people, and looted all around them. They are not even considered human beings. As long as there is a way to destroy them as quickly as possible, I don't care what methods are. Trust depends on the target. For those Tumans, there is no need to tell their faith."

Li Chao waited at the foot of the mountain for three days.

Three days later, the guide brought a group of people down the mountain.

They are the messengers of the Tumans. They are very careful and cautious, and even nervous and afraid.

Li Chao met them in person and asked the prince to meet them together. Li Chao said something to reproach them, and then said something understandable, and finally proposed that they could be forgiven.

Prince Chengqian came out to protect Li Chao's words himself and took out a stack of pardon documents for the Tuman leaders.

"The court can pardon you, and you will not blame you for the past. There is only one requirement for you. Everyone goes down the mountain to receive a copy of the pardon, and register it on the official list, and then become a member of the Tang Dynasty. As long as you are registered and the past is not punished, the court will also divide you into twenty acres of land and eighty acres of forests for each of you. In the future, you will be able to enjoy peace and tranquility forever. If you do not go down the mountain, you will not be pardoned, and you will not be divided into land and mountains."

"Give you three days to think about it!"

The messenger left.

"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 it!"

You can get pardons when you go down the mountain and divide the fields and mountains. This condition of reunion is still very tempting. Moreover, it is not surprising that the imperial court often does this to the barbarians.

Li Chao felt that there was still a chance of success, and it didn't matter if the barbarians were not deceived. When Li Chao sent the guides to communicate with the Tumans these days, they were actually collecting information on their village location, offensive route, defense status, and the number of young and strong people in Tuman.

Even if the barbarian didn't come down the mountain, Li Chao wouldn't wait in vain for a few days, and he got what he wanted.

"What if the barbarian really came down the mountain?"
