The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 179 Kindness (Please recommend for collection)

The Sui army that joined forces in victory robbed and killed more than a dozen Turkic reinforcements. Yang Tong worried that Jieli Khan would come with a large army. If there was a large-scale battle, the gain would not be worth the loss. Dozens of small and medium-sized tribes in the south robbed them of their supplies, and the Turkic tribes scattered for relief at this time, and had no time to pay attention to the Sui army. Because of this, Yang Tong did not encounter any resistance, and escorted the spoils and prisoners in an open and honest manner. Back to Pegasus County.

At this time, Pegasus County was covered in silver, with tens of thousands of large tents surrounded by strong fences. Beyond the fences were rows of sharply cut deer antlers, where prisoners were temporarily held.

On the other side, there is also a white tent, in which [-] militiamen from the three counties of Yuyang, Beiping, and Shuangliao are stationed. The captives were successfully taken to Pegasus County, allowing Yang Tong and the others to fight on the battlefield without any worries.

Compared with the gloomy Turkic, with the arrival of Yang Tong here, it can be said to be in full swing and ecstatic.

In this battle, Yang Tong's Xuanjia Army lost more than 100 people, and more than 60 people were lost in the raging waves, turbulent waves, tsunamis, and flying feathers. A total of about 40 people were killed in battle, but the damage they caused to the Turks was far more than this number. It's just that they mainly plundered supplies and consumed Turkic potential this time. They didn't count the number of enemies wiped out, nor did they have detailed data. After the fire was completely burned, the other tribes in Tiele were also big tribes. The total loss of these large and small tribes will definitely not be less than 15 people. In addition, the captive population of more than 20 people is far more than 60. If counting the survivors who lost their supplies and starved to death, the number would be even more exaggerated.

Early the next morning, Zhang Wansui, who was in charge of counting the trophies, reported to Yang Tong: "His Royal Highness, it is exciting to say that this trip captured a total of 65 horses, including 39 good war horses and 21 cattle. There are more than 360 heads, and the most sheep are more than 200 million. There are more than [-] million sheets of various woolen materials, and there are more than [-] catties of dried meat!"

Listening to the calculated amount, Yang Tong lost his mind for a long time.Others also exclaimed after hearing the huge harvest.

Li Xiuning on the side was stunned when he heard it, and almost jumped up in joy, his beautiful eyes were shining with strange brilliance: "No wonder the Turks go to the Central Plains every year for a walk, how long has it been? Robbery is a deadly profit." good deal."

Even the prudent Qin Qiong couldn't help saying: "In the future, we won't have to worry about food and clothing. If there is no one, the Turks will just grab it. We should let the Turks know that we used to uphold benevolence and were unwilling to plunder. If we really do it, we can't lose them."

"Don't put it so harshly! We are hunting, not robbing..." Luo Shixin corrected solemnly.

Qin Qiong quickly changed his words: "Yes, yes, yes, it is hunting, it is hunting, and the Turks are our prey."

"However, our losses this time are also relatively large... It has been passed down that all soldiers of the five armies will be divided into one cow, one horse, ten sheep, and ten pieces of leather. The number of dead soldiers and disabled soldiers will be doubled. One militiaman, one horse, five sheep, and five pieces of leather. In addition, all Sui soldiers can share two sheep each, recruits and county soldiers one! The rest of the cattle are all sent to Guannei Road, and each family divides them. Give it to the people under the rule! The extra sheep and poor horses are sold to the people, [-]% of the income goes to the court, [-]% is distributed to the generals of the conquering army, and [-]% is given to the dead and disabled soldiers.”

After Yang Tong's order of reward was conveyed, the soldiers burst into uncontrollable shouts.

There was a smile in Yang Tong's eyes, this was only his harvest, Li Jing's harvest was not included in it, and Ashina Simo would also dedicate [-]% of the harvest to himself. If so many animals were given to the court, It will become a heavy burden, and now it will be divided one by one, which is enough to encourage the soldiers of the whole territory.

Life is full of grass and trees and autumn, and what we need and want is nothing more than fame and fortune.Fame and fortune are the common goal in life, but how many people are really indifferent to fame and fortune?

Joining the army can gain fame and fortune in a short moment, how can this not make others envious.

With the cooperation of the imperial court and local officials at all levels, military service will definitely become the most popular occupation under the rule.When it is necessary to expand the size of the army, there is no need for forced recruitment at all, only a conscription order is needed, and the common people will naturally sign up under the temptation of fame and fortune.

"Your Highness, there are more than 27 prisoners in total." Master Yang who came earlier said.

"It's not just that much, Li Jing and Ashina Simo will definitely send a lot. I heard that Ashina Simo has harvested a lot. Adding up all of them, at least 40." Yang Tong said with a smile.

Yang Shidao asked: "How to arrange it?"

Yang Tong had already had a plan, "All the prisoners of Li and Tang in the Battle of Bingzhou were civilians, and each of them was assigned a Turkic woman to form a new family, and they were resettled in the nearest counties. As for the Turkic young and strong, half were taken to Wuyuan to build the Great Wall, and half At the same time, all the Khitan, Xi, and Turkic old, weak, sick and disabled who have built the Great Wall and are still alive in these years are sent to Pegasus County."

Yang Shidaomingly said: "Your Highness is saying that Jieli Khan will come to redeem people?"

Yang Tong nodded and said, "All we captured were the family members of Jieli's direct line of troops. For the sake of the army, Jieli had no choice but to give up money to replace people. Turks, Khitans, and Xi people all look similar, so let's take these defective products. Shoddy goods, anyway, they don’t try to correct them one by one, by the way, Goguryeo’s defective products are also gathered together, all mixed in, and exchanged for money.”

"I know what to do. As His Highness said, it's called waste utilization." Yang Shidao smiled. At the beginning, they came here to do this, which caused Li Yuan to suffer a huge loss. Not only could he not redeem his Hedong The army also took away 10,000+ old, weak, sick and disabled, and now it has become a heavy burden for Li Tang. Now this hand is exactly the same as before.He also said: "This time more than 700 children were captured. These are the future strong soldiers of the Turks, and they must be the key groups that the Turks want to redeem."

"how do you feel?"

"It's okay to redeem, but all of them will break a leg and an arm, so that they will never be able to ride a horse or draw a bow! They will never hurt me, Tai Sui." Yang Shidao's cold and murderous tone pierced the bone marrow.

"So cruel?" Yang Tong was stunned.

"Your Highness, since ancient times, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. If you advance, you will live and if you retreat, you will die. For Turks, a grassland alien who kills our people, speaking of benevolence, righteousness and morality is like playing the piano with a cow. If His Highness hadn't taken advantage of the loophole and killed Turks to catch them off guard, I am afraid that hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops will come to the city at this time. At that time, there will be many soldiers and soldiers in the Sui Dynasty. The law of wolves is believed in the grassland. If we want to avoid being infested by them, we have to kill them for hundreds of years. If you can't recover your vitality, just like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did to the Xiongnu, the threat is fundamentally cut off. These wolf cubs who are about to grow up, it is kind enough not to kill them all." Yang Shidao said with cold eyes.

Looking at that merciless face, Yang Yu asked weakly: "Is kindness bad?"

"Benevolence and righteousness are not bad or wrong. The things left by our ancestors are naturally excellent, but it depends on who and what the target is. Small mistakes can be forgiven. Faced with such a big evil as Turkic, there is only one word to kill... ..."

"Okay! When the money is in hand, you will be responsible for mutilating these tens of thousands of wolf cubs!"

"Here." Yang Shidao actually agreed.

"..." Yang Tong looked at Master Yang speechlessly.

These literati under his command are more ruthless than the other, more fierce than the other, bolder than the other, and stronger than the other.

Yang Gongren dared to challenge Yang Xuangan's 20 main force with only [-] soldiers, and finally let him win; The coalition forces retreated; when Wang Cong was in Hejian County, Dou Jiande was forced to take an inch; Fang Xuanling, who was afraid of his wife, was surprisingly courageous on the battlefield, and led the army with a blade to defeat Li Shimin in Beidi County; The most awesome one is Wei Yunqi, he didn't spend a single soldier, he fooled [-] elite Turkic soldiers, and beat Khitan to death...

How can this be a literati!Shashen is not too bad, it seems that I have underestimated the integrity and blood of literati in this era.
