Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 435 Arranging Captives
But the current state of Shu does not need so many captives at all.

As Shu continued to expand outward.

The number of captives will only increase.

Now Shu has a very large population.

It can be said.

It is the most populous place in the whole Datang.

If the population continues to increase.

It will only bring pressure to Shu.

In love and reason.

He will not continue to keep all these people.

After arranging the captives.

It is the arrangement for the Pyu country.

Li Ke has not made any arrangements for the time being.

Because he has no manpower to take over here.

He also needs to find a minister from the Shu King Party to take over the job.

within a short period of time.

Of course he can stay here and manage Pyu.

But it will definitely not work after a long time.

After all, he is the king of Shu.

His base camp is in the Kingdom of Shu, in Chengdu Mansion.

Sitting in the palace of the emperor of Pyu, Li Ke wrote a letter and asked the scouts to send it to Chang'an quickly.

At this time in Chang'an City.

Countless courtiers are waiting patiently.

Of course they know about the border.

After Li Ke, the king of Shu, conquered the Nanzhao Kingdom and the Zhangxiong Kingdom, he took the initiative to attack the Pyu Kingdom.

They are all waiting for the battle report.

Although they are full of confidence in Li Ke.

I feel that with the strength of Piao State.

In any case, it is impossible to be the opponent of Shu Wang Li Ke.

But they still couldn't help but worry when the battle report came out in a day.

What if there is an accident?
Li Shimin's stinger didn't have much to worry about.

After all, this is not the first time.

The first time, when Li Ke led troops to the north to quell the chaos.

He was also worried.

But when Li Ke repeatedly created miracles for him to see.

He already knew.

Li Ke is not an ordinary person.

He is always able to create all kinds of miracles.

Even Nanzhao Kingdom and Zhang Zhung Kingdom are in such a chaotic situation.

Li Ke can easily settle it.

It's just a small country.

It's not enough to cause Li Ke any trouble.

Li Shimin has repeatedly checked the information of Pyu.

All information indicates.

Li Ke can easily take over the huge land of Pyu.

Although the country of Piao said that its land area is not small.

But the actual strength is not many.

In addition, it has been at war with surrounding countries all year round.

There is strength.

But not strong.

With the strength of the Shu Kingdom.

As long as 50 soldiers and horses are dispatched.

You can push directly.

But he didn't expect it.

Li Ke only used 20 soldiers and horses.

And among the remaining 30 soldiers and horses.

One hundred thousand soldiers and horses stayed behind in Chengdu Mansion.

20 soldiers and horses were sent to the south by him to continue to expand the territory.

This is Li Ke's last plan in the near future.

Almost all of Southeast Asia has now become the territory of Shu King Li Ke.

But finish this.

Li Ke also stabilized for the time being.

After all, they really don't have enough manpower now.

Huge land, countless people.

Both take time to manage and naturalize.

Otherwise, they have just conquered a country on their side.

There could be a fire in the backyard.

Li Ke also needs time to recuperate.

Adjustment of status.

Eating too much at one time can easily lead to death.

Li Ke understood this truth very well.

Li Shimin hopes that Li Ke can continue to fight abroad.

If there is a shortage of major generals, he will give them directly.

He didn't want to go to the north.

When he was not enthroned, he also went to the north.

It was freezing cold.

Not for life at all.

Although there are vast grasslands.

But that kind of place is too desolate.

In Li Shimin's eyes.

valuable.

But not much value.

Not worth wasting too much energy on.

Now Datang's territory in the north is already bordering Maoxiong's side.

If you go further north, you can naturally continue to fight.

But now Li Shimin is also facing the same troubles as Li Ke.

The territory is too big and no one can manage it.

Before Li Ke led his troops to the north, he had almost wiped out several countries in the north.

Li Shimin can send people to accept these territories at any time.

But that's the problem.

Li Shimin didn't have many people under his command.

These ministers in the court are basically not allowed to go out.

These are his think tanks and need to help him solve various problems.

Of course, sending out can manage one side of the land.

But it's such a waste.

This has sent Fang Xuanling out.

Then send the others out.

The courtroom will be empty.

Li Shimin is also worried about happiness now.

We can only hope that the next imperial examination will start as soon as possible.

He is good at selecting some talents to fill the talent vacancies.

The northern side can be ignored for the time being, Li Shimin has no interest in that desolate land.

The South is different.

The land in the south is quite fertile, and there are all kinds of crops.

Coupled with a large population.

These are all things that Li Shimin is greedy for.

Therefore, Li Shimin has always been very concerned about the war in the south.

at last.

He waited for the battle report from Shu.

Wang De went into the study with the eight-hundred-mile urgent battle report, and presented it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin unfolded it, and immediately smiled.

Seeing Li Shimin's expression, Wang De immediately laughed: "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Li Shimin was in a good mood and asked, "What are you congratulating me for?"

Wang De is also Li Shimin's close friend, and has been by Li Shimin's side for decades.

Knowing that Li Shimin is in a good mood now, he won't care about anything with him.

So he rolled his eyes and pretended to think about it.

"This is the battle report from Shu King Li Ke."

"Looking at His Majesty's expression, it must be His Royal Highness the King of Shu's victory."

Li Shimin nodded, then shook his head again.

"True, but not entirely true."

"Ke'er not only won a big victory, but also completely turned Piao into the territory of our Great Tang!"

"From now on, there will be no Pyu country on this map!"

Wang De's eyes widened, and he was extremely shocked.

Of course he knew about it.

As a close minister of Li Shimin.

He remembers it clearly.

This war started ten days ago.

In just ten days, Li Ke, king of Shu, destroyed another country?
Come on, is this God of War?

Wang De smiled again and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

He didn't say much about the extra words.

In the past, he would probably say that it all depends on His Majesty's wisdom or something.

It's just that the official who said that last time has been accused of returning home.

He knew it.

Li Shimin didn't like to hear such words.

I don't like it quite much.

He is indeed very happy. It is not bad.

But it also depends on whose credit it is.

This is obviously Li Ke's contribution.

If Li Shimin wanted such credit.

Is he still shameless?
Therefore, Li Shimin didn't have any extra thoughts when it came to Li Ke's contribution.

Wang De also learned to be smart, and didn't say a word that was unnecessary.

Li Shimin nodded with a smile, picked up the battle report, and ordered: "Go, tell Chang'an this battle report!"

This is a great joyous event for the whole world to celebrate.

He will naturally publicize this matter.
