Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1459 Qin Tian Killed and Surrendered

"Before we go, there is one more thing to do."

Qin Tian glanced at the crowd, and said, "We're going to kill the soldiers and horses of the Qiemo Kingdom. We can't take care of them here. The Xiye Kingdom has [-] captives. We're afraid we're going to kill them."

Five thousand captives is not a small number, even if they want to send these captives to Yumen Pass, they still need 6000 to [-] people, and keeping them in the West Night King City is not a small threat.

Moreover, don't look at these captives surrendering, but as long as there is a chance, they will become enemies with Datang, right?

Unless you take it back and train it well.

Unfortunately, they don't have time.

If they can't set off as soon as possible, the soldiers and horses of Qiemo Kingdom will probably flee. At that time, if they want to destroy Qiemo Kingdom, they will have to pay a higher price.

Hearing that Qin Tian wanted to kill and surrender, Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu and others were shocked.

"Brother Qin, what you said is indeed reasonable. The existence of those people is a great threat, but if they kill and surrender, it will be too bad for us."

"That's right. Back then, Hou Junji killed and surrendered and destroyed the country. His Majesty didn't reward him very much. If we also killed and surrendered, I'm afraid that after returning to the capital, the merits and demerits will be equal."

"Yeah, and some people say that killing surrender is inauspicious. How can we do this kind of thing?"

Everyone turned their attention to Qin Tian. Qin Tian smiled wryly. He didn't want to kill and surrender. These captives from the Xiye small country could be of great use if they were trained properly. It would be a pity to kill them.

But they were all warriors and had fought in battles. If they rebelled while the Tang army was killing Qiemo, then Datang might be in trouble again.

Turning back to kill them at that time would be time-consuming and labor-intensive.

The best solution, of course, is to kill them.

The dead will not pose any threat to Datang.

"Okay, I know what you think, but the situation is waiting for no one, we have no choice now, let's send someone to do it, and do it tonight."

Qin Tian was determined to kill and surrender, and the others looked at each other helplessly.

The night is getting dark, and the wine is no longer drunk.

A group of people waited in the house for news.

The cold wind became heavier again, and when the wind blew over, there was still a faint smell of blood.

A guard came in.

"ended?"

The guard nodded, his face pale and a little scary.

He has also fought on the battlefield. On the battlefield, no matter how many people he kills or how much blood he sees, his brows will not frown, but this kind of massacre is different, and he can't bear it in his heart.

Qin Tian understood how he felt, so he just nodded and waved them back.

When only Qin Tian and Cheng Chumo were left in the room, Qin Tian let out a long sigh.

"Don't worry, I will take care of everything and it has nothing to do with you."

"Brother Qin..."

Qin Tian waved his hand, and didn't let them continue talking. Killing and surrendering, sometimes you need to do something. Relatively speaking, a person's identity is very sensitive if he has accomplished the feat of destroying a country. He wants the emperor to rest assured of him. Still have to make some mistakes.

If you make a mistake, the emperor may reuse you even more.

"Let the soldiers rest well, and we will set off in the middle of the night."

"Here!"
-
It's getting closer and closer to the new year.

At this time in previous years, all the countries in the Western Regions were very lively.

Originally, this place in the Western Regions did not celebrate the New Year, and they had no idea about this.

But as the Silk Road became more and more prosperous, more and more Han people came and went, and the countries in the Western Regions also began to celebrate the New Year, and they were almost assimilated by Han culture.

This year, some countries in the Western Regions are also lively.

But with the arrival of some news, the enthusiasm was discounted.

The king of Qiemo Kingdom is called Zhang Qie, and he rushed to Xiye King City with his soldiers and horses. He wanted to join forces with Xiye to destroy Tang Kingdom.

They didn't stop much along the way, but because of the cold weather, they didn't walk very fast.

For them, although they were going to save the West Ye Kingdom, things were irrelevant to them, so they were not particularly eager, and they walked a bit slowly.

And just as they were rushing towards the West Night King City, a news suddenly came.

"Your Majesty, the Xiye Kingdom is dead."

Hearing this news, the king of Qiemo Kingdom was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What's going on, why is Xiye Kingdom dead?"

"The Tang army captured the city of Xiye in one day, and the king of Xiye, Ye Xi, was directly beheaded. After that, there is no other kingdom in the Western Regions."

Zhang Qie trembled all over and almost fell off the horse.

"One day...the city gate was breached in one day, and the Xiye Kingdom has [-] troops stationed there."

The spy hesitated for a moment, and said, "It only took Datang an hour to break through the city."

"What, an hour?" Although he knew that Datang was very powerful, Zhang Qie was shocked when he broke through the West Night King City in an hour.

How is this possible?
But his spies won't lie. Datang really took less than an hour to break through the West Night King City.

And it took them half a day to wipe out the soldiers and horses in the city of West Night King. That battle must have been extremely cruel and bloody, right?

Zhang Qie's eyes were serious, they were late.

"Your Majesty, the West Ye Kingdom has been destroyed, should we continue to move forward?"

They are attached to the Great Food Kingdom, and the Great Food Kingdom is an enemy of the Tang Dynasty. They want to fight for the control of the Western Regions. Even if they are not the Xiye Kingdom, they can continue to move forward. If they defeat the Tang army, the Great Food Kingdom will definitely reward them heavily.

At that time, their benefits will be indispensable.

However, Zhang Qie shook his head after thinking about it.

"Datang is too powerful, we will die if we go there, let's go back."

Whether they are attached to the Great Food Kingdom or the Great Tang, their purpose is simple, to live better.

If they are attached to the Great Food Kingdom, they will fight desperately with Datang, and then be wiped out, then why should they attach to the Great Food Kingdom?
Zhang Qie wanted to go back, but his subordinates didn't have any objections. Going back meant they could survive. Since they could survive, why did they go to die?

Even, their hearts hoped that Zhang Qie would go back, and Zhang Qie really chose to go back.

The soldiers and horses turned around and began to rush back.

They didn't realize the danger was coming at this time, so they still didn't walk very fast.

However, in the evening of this day, another spy rushed to report.

"Your Majesty, the Tang army is chasing us in our direction. Also, the Tang army killed all the five thousand captives who surrendered from Xiye Kingdom."

After the news came out, King Zhang Qie of the Qiemo Kingdom frowned immediately: "What, you killed the captives and chased us, so what is the intention of the Tang army?"
