In the mind of the King of Vietnam, when the Tang army entered the city, he had to lead his men to charge and fight. Even if he died under the sword of the Tang army, he would be considered a famous figure in the history of this country. When people in the future overthrow the rule of the Tang Empire, he would also be able to write a great mark in the history books.
But he had no such idea at the moment. In the past few days, the entire city had been in the midst of internal assassinations. Even some officials around him were killed by local people. So when the Tang army entered the city, he felt that it was a relief.
In fact, it was not just him who was so young. People on both sides of the fight all thought so. As long as the Tang army entered the city, they would be relieved. Even if there was no country like Vietnam in the future, they would not have to worry about being killed in their sleep.
The hatred between the local people and the people brought by the king has reached a point where it cannot be alleviated. Both sides don't know how many people they have killed. At this moment, they have only one idea, even if it means risking their own lives, they must exchange one of their heads for the other.
With this idea in mind, the entire city had nearly 70,000 people at its peak, but now there are less than 40,000 people. Nearly half of the people were killed during this period. These people were not only from the lower class, but many people from the upper class were also killed, including a son of the King of Vietnam. The entire city was out of control.
So when the Tang army came in, no one resisted them. Some people even surrounded them, hoping to be their dogs.
This was the idea of the King of Vietnam, but unfortunately Li Xiang did not allow it. If you wanted to surrender, you might have surrendered when we were fighting for Myanmar. But you made two false surrenders in a row, which brought so much loss to the Tang Dynasty. So Li Xiang ordered this guy to be hanged on the city wall, and the counselors around him to be hanged together.
Li Xiang has been conquering cities and territories for many years, and no one knows how much land he has captured. When facing local rulers, Li Xiang rarely takes such radical actions, but this time he wants to let all the rulers in the world see that if you want to resist to the end, this will be your result. If there is still room for negotiation, the most you can do is go to Chang'an City to study. Although there is no so-called dignity, there will be no problem in keeping your life.
vomit…
The Tang army that entered the city basically had only this one reaction. When they walked forward, they felt something sticky under their feet. They didn't pay much attention to it at first, but the more people they interrogated, the more they felt that they couldn't stay in this city anymore, because those sticky things were all rotten corpses.
Li Xiang was also afraid that the city would bring plague, so after capturing the relevant people, Li Xiang ordered people to evacuate the city directly, and sprinkled lamp oil everywhere in the city, and burned the city down directly. This was also the fastest way to eliminate the plague.
When many Vietnamese people looked at the fire, they did not feel much sadness in their hearts. After all, the fire meant that their country was gone. Now many people hated their king. It was for your selfish interests that you dragged us all into the war.
Now look what has happened. Our lives are so miserable. If we continue like this, I'm afraid there will be no good days for anyone. But then again, whether we will have a good or bad life in the future depends on that young man.
On the coast of Vietnam, Li Xiang looked at the ruins and didn't know what he was thinking. He had spent such a huge price to occupy this place, but it should be of no use at this stage. However, one thing is certain, that is, there will be no maritime disputes in the southern region of the Tang Dynasty in the future. Now all of this is ours, and all that remains is to attack other islands.
According to some historical records, most areas of Southeast Asia are still in a primitive social state, so our people will definitely be able to occupy this place quickly. As for the benefits of this area, just the three harvests a year, plus oil, coal and various resources, it is clear that Li Xiang sent troops there.
Of course, these are all matters for the future. We are not in a hurry now. Although we have occupied Vietnam, there are still many countries on the South Asian continent. They are all in city-state status. There are still more than a dozen of them. These people are on the way now. Li Xiang has already sent them letters, inviting them to join the alliance.
Everyone is very familiar with the term "Huimeng". Originally, these were the same countries, standing together to discuss things, but now it is obvious that they are not the same as the Tang Dynasty, and the gap in status between the two sides is too big.
Before Vietnam was destroyed, these people could still live a peaceful life, but now Vietnam no longer exists. If they still want to live a peaceful life, they can only give up the power in their hands and become a rich man, or move their families to Chang'an. Otherwise, look at the King of Vietnam hanging on the city wall. That is your role model.
The managers of various city-states did not dare to delay. They headed to the location designated by Li Xiang as quickly as possible. These people also knew that Li Xiang was now in great triumph. If you dared to be uncooperative, you would be the next target.
There was no big surprise in Chang'an City about Li Xiang's conquest of Vietnam. After all, every time Li Xiang took action, news of victory would come back. What's more, this time Li Xiang had not left Chang'an City yet, and Huo Qubing and others had done a good job. So everyone seemed to take this victory for granted, and even felt that it was a little late.
Li Xiang didn't care much about these voices from home. After all, these people had never really seen this place, and of course they didn't quite understand the combat environment here. But we did defeat Vietnam and incorporated the surrounding lands into the rule of the Annan Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty. In the future, this area will also become a logistics base for attacking the Kingdom of India. This is also a good thing for the entire Tang Dynasty. Thinking of the uncontaminated land of the Kingdom of India, Li Xiang felt happy...
