"Someone has joined us?"
Li Chengyuan asked in surprise.
He had thought that the people of the Great Tang would hesitate, or that they would be held back by the prefectural soldiers.
However, he did not expect that someone had already escaped.
"Where is he?" Li Chengyuan immediately asked. Where was he? How many?"
The guard quickly replied," Your Majesty, only one person escaped and has been sent to the capital. The situation is not very good."”
"Bring me to him," Li Chengyuan said.”
After a while.
Li Chengyuan saw that person in a medical center outside the city.
It was a green shape, named He Qiang.
After a round of discussion and He Qiang's indignant narration, Li Cheng Yuan had a rough understanding of the situation at the Great Tang's borders.
It was similar to what he and Zhuge Liang had guessed.
Even if the Great Tang did not distribute food, it would not easily allow these refugees to escape to the Great Zhou.
After all, the Western Regions were not the same as before. They were the archenemy of the Great Tang.
Li Shi Min would never allow anyone to defect to the enemy.
For a moment, Li Chengyuan was in a dilemma.
He frowned and touched his chin, thinking about how to poach her.
If Zhangsun Wugou didn't take action, perhaps the border towns would all die and he wouldn't be able to recruit many Han people.
After all, in this chaotic world, killing some commoners could save food. The Great Tang would definitely do this.
He went around in circles.
He still needed Zhangsun Wugou's help.
But how could he make his aunt submit?
Although she was soft-hearted, she would not do such a thing. If she was forced into a corner, she might just swear loyalty with her life.
Unless there was a way to make Zhangsun Wugou soften his heart.
"Big... Emperor, do you really have endless food here?”
At this moment, He Qiang asked.
When Li Chengyuan heard this, he subconsciously looked at He Qiang. The moment he saw him, Li Chengyuan's eyes lit up.
He Qiang was in a sorry state because he was rushing, but he could make an issue out of it. As long as the director was good, Zhangsun Wugou would definitely be soft-hearted!
Li Chengyuan could not help but have an idea in his mind.
He looked at He Qiang and said,"The Great Zhou has enough food, but before that, I want you to do something!"”
When He Qiang heard that there was food, he hurriedly said,"Emperor, please speak! I will do my best!"
Li Chengyuan smiled and said,"Then you have to endure it!"”
After saying that, he looked at the guard beside him and said,"Break his hand!"
....
On this day.
As usual, Zhangsun Wugou finished his lunch and was knitting winter clothes for Li Chengyuan in his bedroom.
Not long after, footsteps came from outside the palace.
Zhangsun Wugou frowned slightly and looked outside.
Seeing that the person who came was Li Chengyuan's guard, she subconsciously muttered,"Again? Is Chengyuan still not giving up?"
Zhangsun Wugou shook his head. She stood up and walked forward. She looked at the guard and said,"Tell Chengyuan that BenGong won't help him!”
The guard shook his head." A citizen escaped from the Great Tang. His Majesty wants you to take a look!"”
When Zhangsun Wugou heard this, he was slightly stunned.
Why did someone escape to the Great Zhou? Had the Great Tang's situation reached this stage?
With curiosity and concern, Zhangsun Wugou nodded.""Good! Bring bengong over."
The two of them quickly set off.
Soon, they arrived at Li Chengyuan's clinic.
Before he entered the house, Zhangsun Wugou heard a wail.
"Damned soldiers of the Great Tang! You will die a horrible death!"
The voice was mournful and miserable, causing Zhangsun Wugou's face to turn pale. It seemed like there was a person in the room who was seriously injured?
"Please!"
The guard opened the door and said.
"Oh!"
Zhangsun Wugou was shocked. He hurriedly nodded and walked into the house while lifting the hem of his dress.
When she walked into the house, she only saw Li Chengyuan's tall back. Everything in the house was blocked, but she could smell the thick smell of blood.
Zhangsun Wugou raised his heart and whispered,""Chengyuan! What's going on?"
Li Chengyuan turned around and looked at Zhangsun Wugou.""Auntie, he's very emotional right now. If he continues like this, I might have to give up on this Han.”
Hearing Li Chengyuan's words.
Zhangsun Wugou became nervous again. Why did he have to give up on someone who had joined him before?
But when she saw He Qiang behind Li Chengyuan, she immediately understood.
Lying on the bed was a bloody person. His face was covered in blood, and his entire body was in a sorry state. Both his hands were broken!
His miserable appearance made people tremble in fear.
Zhangsun Wugou subconsciously looked at Li Chengyuan and questioned,""Why did you do this to him?”
Li Chengyuan shrugged and spread his hands."Go ask Li Shi Min, I don't know!”
“...”
Zhangsun Wugou was slightly stunned. She opened her mouth, not knowing what to do.
Finally, she looked at He Qiang and asked,"What exactly happened?"”
He Qiang covered his broken hands. Under Li Chengyuan's gaze, his body trembled as he said,"When we heard that there was food in the Great Zhou, the entire town was prepared to escape!”
"But I was discovered by the prefecture soldiers on the way. Everyone in the town was killed, and only I escaped!”
"Their hands were also broken by the prefecture soldiers.”
"You actually said that you can save food by killing us!”
Zhangsun Wugou's heart trembled as she muttered,""Are you sure this is what the soldiers of the Great Tang said?”
He Qiang said with certainty,"This isn't what the prefecture soldiers said. It's what the Li family's emperor said!"”
Boom!
He Qiang's words were like thunder. Zhangsun Wugou's body was shaken until he was in a trance.
Li Chengyuan's eyes and hands were quick as he hurriedly supported Zhangsun Wugou. He said softly,""Auntie, are you alright?"
Zhangsun Wugou clutched his forehead, feeling a little dizzy.
She had never thought that Second Brother would say such a thing.
As expected, the imperial family was heartless!
Perhaps in the Great Tang's situation, only a strong man could survive this crisis.
However, the people were innocent.
Zhangsun Wugou grabbed Li Chengyuan's hand and said,""Chengyuan, can you help them? I agree to all your requests!"
