Li Yi and Li Longji were discussing the matter of Yao Chong's son and Yao Chong joining the Tuan 'er. In the migrant worker district, Yu Jiang's hair was about to turn white from worry.
He had just received news that the Turks were having internal strife.
The internal strife of the Turks was no longer a threat to the Tang dynasty, and the Tang dynasty could send troops to fight outside.
Would the Tang dynasty want to fight the Khitans? Was there a need to ask? Li Yi wanted to fight, but he still had money.
The trade agreement between the Li Family Zhuangzi and the Khitans was a strategy to pacify the people.
Now that the situation had changed, how could he hope that the person who drew such a detailed map would not support the idea of sending troops?
The Winged Knights and the 16 guards were always around the Zhuangzi, so Li Yi would definitely say something.
"No, without the Turks, the Khitans will not be able to defeat the Winged Knights.
Ten thousand Winged Knights with hot air balloons, gunpowder, and maps will be able to rampage through the Khitans.
I need to find Li Yi and ask him if he wants peace, not war, trade, not military force. "
Yu Jiang was anxious. He ran to the 'border' and requested to see Li Yi.
"I won't see him. Pull the group going to the Khitans outside and tell him that he can go with us."
Li Yi did not have time to argue with Yu Jiang. The other party was just afraid that the Tang dynasty would send troops. If the trade caravan went out, the other party would be relieved.
Sure enough, when the one thousand people who were in charge of accompanying the Li Family Zhuangzi went out, the manager found Yu Jiang and asked him to go with them to see the world. Yu Jiang heaved a sigh of relief.
He saw clearly that the Khitans still had a chance. Those who were obedient still had a chance.
As for those tribes that were not obedient, the one thousand Winged Knights were another way to deal with them.
Yu Jiang also saw his own people. One hundred Khitan captives were following the group with scabbards hanging from their waists.
One hundred people rode on horses and ran around, protecting the caravan. It was a caravan made up of forty two-wheeled carriages.
Four-wheeled vehicles wouldn't work. The roads weren't good. Four-wheeled vehicles were only suitable for running in the capital.
Yujiang found an opportunity to look at a Khitan. He knew this person, and the other party also knew him.
He asked loudly, "Have you been released?"
The man glanced at him and replied with a helpless look in his eyes, "Let's go back and have a look. We're not at war with the Tang dynasty."
Yu Jiang was very sad. The other party actually didn't have a respectful expression, which meant that he couldn't command them anymore.
The only fortunate thing was that Li Yi didn't interrogate them, and they didn't take the initiative to tell him who was the contact.
After feeling sad for a while, he shouted again, "It's an honor for you Khitans not to fight with the Tang dynasty."
"Yes, you can't beat him at all. Do you understand? It's too easy for Li Dongzhu to kill people." The other party finally said something useful.
Yu Jiang lowered his head and analyzed this sentence.
What did he mean? Can't beat him? Was it easy for Li Yi to kill people?
The Khitan continued to shout to his other comrades, "Let's go back and tell the others that Li Dongzhu of the Tang dynasty doesn't want to kill us. He'll even teach us some skills."
"Yes, it's too hard for us to survive the winter. I learned how to make a kang bed," the Khitan next to him echoed.
"When we go back, I'll release the people of the Tang dynasty in my clan. We can't make Li Dongzhu angry. If he kills them personally, none of our clans will be able to survive."
"Yes, release the people who were captured."
"We also have to compensate them. Some of them were killed. We have to give Li Dongzhu an explanation."
The other Khitans spoke one after another. What they meant was that the people of the Tang dynasty who were captured were killed, and the killers had to be captured and sent to the Li Family Zhuangzi.
They didn't say what would happen to the people who stole other people's women, killed their husbands, and gave birth to children.
Kill men? The children would lose their fathers. Kill men and children? Would Li Dongzhu kill the children? What about the women?
Li Longji also asked Li Yi the same question, "What should we do with the women who killed their men and gave birth to children for the Khitans?"
"Ask the woman. If she wants us to stay, we'll stay and continue to live.
If she wants to kill men, she'll kill men. If she thinks the children should die too, she'll kill both the men and the children.
But she's not allowed to commit suicide. The Tang dynasty can tolerate her. No one dares to say anything to her. "
Li Yi didn't want to talk about the children at this time.
Hadn't the children of the Tang dynasty been killed before? Hadn't the pregnant women of the Tang dynasty been killed before?
Hadn't the country that flaunted democracy and human rights bombed other people's hospitals and schools?
Everything depended on the woman. This was the Tang dynasty's debt to the captured people of the Tang dynasty.
"Brother Yi, I thought you'd be soft-hearted." Li Longji smiled.
"I'm only soft-hearted to the people of the Tang dynasty. The people of the Khitans, Turks, Tubo, Bohai, and other places are integrated into the Tang dynasty. They're the people of the Tang dynasty."
Li Yi sighed. He didn't want to kill.
The problem was that sometimes when others wanted to kill, what he gave in and endured was definitely not peace.
He remembered the situation during the war between the two mountains. Women and children were tied with grenades …
"Time to eat. Our Little Rou is hungry." Empress Wang came to greet them while holding the little girl's hand.
"Rice, rice." The little girl followed.
The main dish for dinner was noodles, specially prepared for the little girl.
There were several large plates with large pieces of meat and vegetables and small pieces of meat and vegetables.
The little girl was trying hard to grab the noodles. He was carefully scooping the noodles with a spoon.
Together with other small pieces of vegetables, he ate happily like an adult.
He used to grab with his hands before, and no one stopped him.
He was used to eating by himself. He was anxious when he saw others using chopsticks and spoons. He thought he could do it too.
So he gave him a small spoon. He grabbed it and ate clumsily. He could use both hands. It was similar.
Li Yi also used a spoon to eat noodles, one in his left hand and one in his right hand.
Normal people either used their left hand or right hand. Li Yi was a doctor, so he had to use both hands.
Some patients had injured their right hand and needed to recuperate for a few months. They could basically use their left hand to eat on the same day, but it was very strenuous.
There was no such thing as not knowing how to do it. People were forced to do it.
Li Yi had two spoons. The little girl saw it and also had two spoons.
He ate a pile of noodles and vegetables, but he didn't care and continued to eat.
"This is the same as the Winged Knights. When the child grows up, the left and right hands are trained in different areas of the brain. When …"
Li Yi explained to the two of them why he had to guide the little girl to use tools with both hands.
"Yes, yes!" Before the adults said anything, the little girl expressed her opinion first. Yes.
The palace maids and eunuchs ate quickly at the side. The noodles were slurped into their stomachs.
They glanced at the little girl from time to time, afraid that something would happen to the baby.
This child was not an ordinary child. He had too many responsibilities.
"Brother Yi, what kind of person is suitable for Jian 'er to be taught?"
Li Longji looked at his son and scooped a spoonful of minced meat into his mouth.
"Teach cultural lessons? No, it's just playing now. The babies in Zhuangzi are not taught. Their bodies are not well developed. They can't remember knowledge at all. "
Li Yi shook his head. He didn't want to educate the child.
"What do you want to play? I think the children in Zhuangzi are playing with blocks, slides, and mazes. "Li Longji asked.
"Just those, including swimming. The child can swim now. It's hot now. Take Jian 'er into the water more. You must watch over him."
Li Yi scooped a spoonful of watermelon paste and fed it to the baby. The little girl smiled when she ate something sweet.
