After the war, the first thing to do is naturally to count the battle damage and count the results. In this battle, Su Li took the lead in charging and attracted most of the attention of the former Tubo army. The Tang army who followed up did not suffer much damage in battle. After a while of fighting, the Tang army killed and injured less than 300 people. More than a hundred people died, and most of the rest were slightly injured, and few were seriously injured. Compared to a battle of this scale, this level of damage is still a miracle. As for the results of the battle, it is even more terrifying. The 150,000 Tubo army was completely wiped out. Nearly 10,000 people died on the spot, more than 1,000 of them were killed by Su Li alone. There were more than 1,000 people who were trampled to death by the rebel army when they were hiding from Su Li.
The remaining 140,000 people were almost all captured, and it can be said that they had no sense of resistance. In fact, it's normal to think about it. Before Songtsan Gampo, Tubo had always been a mess. In a small area, there are hundreds of nobles with private soldiers, large and small. It took Songtsen Gampo more than ten years to wipe out all the rebel forces in Tubo. For soldiers in Tubo, surrendering was commonplace. In the past, they used to work for this great aristocrat at 657 today, and they would work for the enemy of yesterday tomorrow. In their concept, the more times they surrendered, the better they might be. As for the other seizures, at best it was the tens of thousands of war horses. However, the war horses of Tubo are not of good quality. They are all low ponies. This kind of horse has good stamina and is very good for pulling carts and goods. But when used as a war horse, it is somewhat unsatisfactory. As for gold, silver and jewellery..... The Tubo people were originally poor ghosts. Some time ago, in order to recognize Li Er as his father, they went to Chang'an to give Li Er something worth 10,000 taels of gold. Although the marriage was not negotiated in the end, it is estimated that those things have not been sent back yet. Gains in terms of property are about equal to none. In addition, hundreds of captured Tang people were rescued from the barracks of the Tubo people. In other words, after a big victory, apart from capturing hundreds of thousands of Tubo troops and making military achievements, it can be said that there is nothing to gain! In this situation, both Su Dingfang and Li Daozong were in trouble.
In the war between Datang and foreign races, it was the first time that so many prisoners were captured at one time. These captives alone are enough to cause headaches. After all, hundreds of thousands of captives, no matter where they are placed, are a huge factor of instability. They really can't think of a better way to deal with it now. If the time was pushed forward by hundreds or thousands of years, even if they chopped up all these captives, or dug a hole and buried them, no one would say anything. The coolest thing about being a general in those days was that killing hundreds of thousands of captives was like playing, and you really had that power. But now, this kind of thing can only be thought about. Datang and the foreign race fought back and forth, and at the most brutal time, they just used some heads to put on a Beijing watch to warn the foreign race. Moreover, the sources of Jingguan are generally the heads of the dead in battle, and it is unlikely to kill captives. Li Er is an emperor who wholeheartedly wants to create the merits of the world, maybe at this time he has already planned in his heart to be the king of all nations. As a man targeting Tian Khan, the seriousness of murdering foreign captives is probably no worse than murdering his brothers and sisters. However, before the expedition, Li Er clearly issued the strategic goal of this time, the bottom line is to kill Tubo. These hundreds of thousands of Tubo captives could not be taken with the army, nor could they all be thrown in Songzhou City, they were just a bunch of burdens. When Su Li learned of Li Daozong's and Su Dingfang's thoughts, he felt strange. "As far as I know, human trading in the Western Regions has been repeatedly prohibited. The price of hundreds of thousands of young and strong laborers is not lower than that of livestock, right?" In Zhizhou's mansion, Su Li, who just fell asleep, was refreshed and asked with a smile. Li Daozong sighed, and said: "Hundreds of thousands of strong workers (aedi) are considered hard work in your eyes. But in the eyes of small countries in the Western Regions, perhaps these are the best fighters. If these people are scattered all over the Western Regions Go, the consequences will be disastrous." No matter how geese the Tubo people are, they are still extremely powerful compared to those small countries in the Western Regions. If hundreds of thousands of Tubo soldiers were really sold as slaves to those small countries, I am afraid that the king would wake up laughing at night from his dreams. Su Li thought for a while, and then continued: "Since you can't sell it to the Western Regions, then sell it to Your Majesty. Now, it was the turn of Li Daozong and Su Dingfang to widen their eyes. "You want to sell these captives to His Majesty?" Su Li spread her hands and asked, "Is there anything wrong?" Perhaps Su Li's tone was too natural. Li Daozong and Su Dingfang looked at each other, and actually felt that this plan seemed feasible. However, looking back, they faintly felt something was wrong. We are now fighting for the Tang Dynasty, fighting for the emperor. Logically speaking, shouldn't all the seized land belong to the emperor?
Why do you still say that you want to sell to others what already belongs to them? Su Li said with a smile: "This person is actually a scumbag. If you give it to him for nothing, he may still dislike it and find it troublesome. But if you sell it to them, they will be interested again. If you If they can think of a reason and set the price as high as possible, they will even go after it..." Li Daozong and Su Dingfang watched their noses and mouths without saying a word. The truth is such a truth, but the words [really are not for us to listen to! "Besides, most of the 50,000 elite soldiers are government soldiers. Everyone pays for the war themselves, isn't it because they want to get some money? You can't go back with three slaves, it's not good!" Su Li's rhetoric finally convinced the other two. After the two left, Su Li began to immerse herself in writing the memorial. "The qualities of a prisoner of war being turned into a slave are pretty good. It shouldn't be too much for one of them to cost ten taels of silver..." On the other side, Chang'an City in the past. Today, it was suddenly broken by restlessness. "Songzhou Good News! Songzhou Good News!" "General Su Li wiped out the 150,000 Tubo army, defeated the Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan, led more than 12,000 ranks, and captured more than 100,000 troops! The sergeant who delivered the good news wore a small flag behind him, and walked across the street, roaring all the way. This kind of success happened almost every year during the Zhenguan period. Logically speaking, the people in Chang'an should not be surprised. However, this good news caused a huge sensation in Chang'an City! Everyone clearly remembers that Su Li led the army to set off, and it seems that not long has passed. Counting the footsteps, if they marched normally, I'm afraid they haven't reached the border of Songzhou yet. How could there be good news and such a terrifying record? While everyone was shocked, there were countless doubts in their hearts. .
