Chapter 452: Distributing credit to everyone and winning people's hearts(2/2)
Zhang Wanyu originally had nearly 2,000 men, followed by Fang Fengjin's reinforcements of 4,000 men. Now there are less than 2,000 men left. Doesn't that mean that all 4,000 men were killed in this battle, plus the previous ones?
Three thousand, seven thousand died at the hands of Li Xuan.
After all his merits are calculated, it would not be too much to give him the rank of General Qian Niuwei.
"Your Majesty, a thousand people fled into the mountains and fields and never returned to Muzhou." Yan Tao quickly explained.
"The number of people who escaped into the mountains is huge, and they may not only number a thousand." After a pause, Li Xuan looked at the crowd and said, "Your Majesty will cultivate more fields in Muzhou in the future. If there are not enough people, be careful.
The imperial censor impeaches you and I for killing too many people and harming the peace of the world."
"Your Majesty, you are too worried. Now we, the Tang Dynasty, are all over the place, killing everyone in one battle. I don't know if any of those who died in my hands died. In the eyes of the Central Committee, my skill may not be anything at all." Qiu Zhenmu handed over his hand.
He comes from a family of military generals, and he sees these things much more clearly than Li Xuan.
Li Xuan smiled, looked at Qiu Zhenmu and said: "What Brother Qiu said is absolutely true. This battle depends on Brother Qiu and all of you galloping freely. I will definitely praise you in the memorial."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Although everyone present was helpless, they all stood up.
This was obviously a way for Li Xuan to share the credit and reduce the court's suspicion.
Although they, the people present, knew that there were some risks involved, who would object to the lack of military merit?
Thanks to the kindness of the King of Nanchang, it will not be easy to get information about this person in the future.
Li Xuan's expression suddenly became solemn, and then he said: "Now I need a general to rush into Jiande Chun'an along the mountain road and go straight to Muzhou City from now on. I wonder which of the four of you is willing?"
Retribution comes so quickly.
The four people looked at each other, and finally Yan Tao stood up, raised his hands and said, "Let's go to Xiaguan. Xiaguan has served in Wuzhou for many years. I think Xiaguan is more familiar with the terrain of Muzhou than everyone here."
"Okay, it's settled." Li Xuan took a deep breath, and then said: "Then Qi Guang will follow Captain Yan to Muzhou. Most of his people are immigrants from Muzhou. This trip will just stabilize people's hearts...
In addition, I also asked my uncle to sit in Zhuge Town, renovate Meiling Pass, and also transfer military supplies."
"I obey the order!" Everyone present immediately agreed with their hands.
"Then there is Sanhe Pass..." Li Xuan said thoughtfully: "Muzhou Navy docked ten miles away from Sanhe Pass, but it was strangely motionless. This is very strange..."
Before Li Xuan finished speaking, footsteps sounded outside the door.
Li Zhu quickly walked in and placed a green chapter on Li Xuan's desk.
Li Xuan opened it in surprise, and then said in shock: "Begging for surrender and peace, the Muzhou navy begged for surrender and peace?"
Chapter completed!
