News of the retreat of the Tang army soon reached Li Ke.
Li Yong and Zhao Yang felt that they should take advantage of the victory and pursue the attack. When the Tang army retreated, they continued to fight.
However, Li Ke was silent.
After thinking about it, Li Ke said:
"He dares to retreat so confidently. Obviously, he has made desperate preparations. If he attacks rashly at this time, he will be cornered!"
Zhao Yang said: "They only have less than 200,000 troops now. We still have thousands of bombs in the military camp. We should fight them all the way, so we should not be afraid!"
"You are wrong. They currently have less than 200,000 troops, but they have not used them to attack. This shows that they know the form very well. Once we pursue and attack hard, they will definitely increase their strength and fight back with all their strength.
At this time, it is a matter of life and death. They will inevitably gather all their forces to fight us regardless of the consequences. We can't be afraid of their army of less than 200,000 people.
"But, what about three hundred thousand four hundred thousand or even five hundred thousand?" You know, Li Er now knows very well that our Dragon Kingdom is more difficult to deal with than the Turks and Tuyuhun. "
Li Ke spoke calmly and analyzed the situation clearly.
Li Er did indeed think so.
Li Er understands that Li Ke, who has a bomb, is definitely not that easy to deal with.
It has nothing to do with the generals or the strength of the soldiers.
The only thing that can compete with a bomb is the number of people.
After all, bombs can kill people, but they can¡¯t kill a steady stream of people!
Li Er¡¯s only advantage now is that he has more soldiers. This is the only advantage that can compete with Li Ke¡¯s bombs.
Therefore, if Li Ke continues to attack, Li Ke can only fight with countless people as cannon fodder.
Relatively speaking, Tuyuhun and Turks are easy to deal with.
With a certain number of soldiers and one or two powerful generals, you can basically achieve results.
Li Ke was aware of the situation, so he finally decided not to continue the pursuit.
Anyway, eight cities of the Tang Kingdom have been captured, greatly expanding the territory of the Dragon Kingdom, and they have already received a lot of goods.
"It won't be too late to continue to expand the territory after digesting the eight cities in the east.
There is no doubt that the people in the eight cities to the east have seen the power of the Dragon Kingdom.
In addition, although these people were panic-stricken and worried, they did not see any soldiers from the Dragon Kingdom messing around in these cities, which also surprised the people.
You must know that in past battles, the victorious party would often burn, kill, and loot in the city. Gold, silver, jewelry, and beautiful women would all become the targets of the soldiers.
However, when the Dragon Kingdom's army captured a city, they were very disciplined and did not do any bad things. All orders and prohibitions were followed in accordance with the army's orders.
Not to mention hurting the people, he even helps them. He is very kind and not at all hostile.
These attitudes were seen by the people and naturally left a very good impression.
Therefore, under the management of the Dragon Kingdom army, the people in these cities are also particularly accepting and accepting.
This was of great help to the rule of the Dragon Kingdom.
It also proves that the military rules and disciplines set by Li Ke are very useful.
During this period, Li Ke was in Dongbacheng, personally guiding the work and handling things here.
And he built a palace in Youzhou, Hebei Province, and lived in Youzhou temporarily.
¡°After all, these cities have just been captured, and they border the Tang Kingdom. If you don¡¯t personally garrison them, you will inevitably be worried.
And if they are stationed here, then Tang will be worried.
After Li Er was defeated and returned to Chang'an in despair, the news spread quickly.
Eastern Turks, Western Turks, Tuyuhun, and Tubo, countries that had long coveted the Tang Kingdom, were shocked.
They have always been enemies of the Tang State and wanted to devour the Tang State, but in recent years, they have been suppressed by the Tang State.
Nowadays, the rising new empire of the Dragon Kingdom, with lightning speed, faced the active attack of the Tang Dynasty, unexpectedly came back undefeated, and even captured some cities, achieving great results. This is not shocking. no.
At this point, East Turkestan and Tuyuhun realized that Li Ke was really not talking nonsense.
Chang'an, Li Er has been a bit decadent recently.
On the one hand, he felt sad and embarrassed because Li Ke had captured so many of his cities. On the other hand, he really couldn't think of a way to deal with the bombs.
He asked the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs?Ask Qin Tianjian to start thinking of a solution, and even posted an imperial list to find people who can handle bombs and make bombs.
However, as time passed, there was no success at all.
Let¡¯s talk about Li Ke.
Li Ke, who lived in the palace in Youzhou, basically completed his complete rule of the eight cities.
If you give benefits to the people, they will be grateful.
Let the people live a good life, and the people will love and support you.
Obviously, the various policies and things of the Dragon Kingdom are very useful to the people.
Such as the plow, such as cheap salt, such as exquisite sugar that only noble people could afford.
???such as various grain seeds that can solve people's hunger, as well as vegetables and fruits that improve people's food
These things were brought to the people by Li Ke, and the people's belief in the so-called Tang Kingdom disappeared instantly.
Then, he regarded Li Ke as a god.
Because in their opinion, only gods can bring them things that change their lives.
The thoughts of ancient people were simple.
When they regard an emperor as a god, they are destined to become his subjects forever! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
