The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 356
As soon as the ten-day appointment arrived, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan, Yu Chigong, Shen Guang, and Xue Wanche led their troops back one by one.

"Who cut off Tong Yehu's head?" Yang Tong sat on the big tent, looked at Tong Yehu Khan's head, waved someone to bring it down, and asked pretending not to know.

All the generals were on the list, but following Yang Tong's question, everyone's faces were a little ugly, and the fat in their hands was robbed by the Western Turks, especially in the situation of "Ambush from Ten Daggers".

Then look at Yin Mingyue, who named a county, and Du Ruhui, who was awarded by Desheng, everyone felt ashamed.

"Your Highness, the head of Tong Yehu was chopped off by Ashina Hemo!" Luo Shixin stood up first, with a face full of unwillingness, displeasure and aggrieved expression, he was just a step away, but unexpectedly, he was killed by the dog's Ashina Nahemo chose the cheap one.

"Your Highness, please punish me!"

All the generals pleaded guilty.

Yang Tong smiled slightly, and said to Qin Qiong, "Shu Bao, you encountered a tough battle, how many people did you lose?"

Qin Qiong cupped his hands and said: "Return to Your Highness, our army lost less than 4000 people in this battle, and the Western Turks at least [-]. They still had more than [-] people who were killed by various chasing troops. Under the leadership of He Mo Duo, they were captured without a fight."

"Then what are you two doing with bitter faces? If you don't know, you might think that I, Da Sui, lost a big battle!" Yang Tong laughed.

The generals looked astonished, not knowing what Yang Tong meant.

"I mean, the tens of thousands of troops in the Sui Dynasty could not snatch more than a thousand Turkic people?" Yang Tong looked at the generals and said, "You are still the top fierce generals of the Sui Dynasty. I don't know the reason for this. ?”

"Huh?" Cheng Yaojin stared at Yang Tong with wide eyes, with a confused expression on his face, "Your Highness, it's no different for you to ask the last general to go into battle to kill the enemy, but the head is already in the hands of Ashina He Modu, so it's hard to go grab it?"

"Didn't you do this before?" Yang Tong looked at Cheng Yaojin, puzzled.

"Uh... are we really going to grab it?" Cheng Yaojin's big eyes widened, and he looked at Yang Tong in disbelief, and the others did the same, even Yin Mingyue and Du Ruhui, who were spectators, had strange expressions on their faces. .

Snatching people's heads and credits is a felony, the rules are still set by Yang Tong himself, the rule makers, and now they are encouraging everyone to take people's heads? ? ?
"What I'm talking about is that you can't snatch my Sui robe." Yang Tong took it for granted, "Ashi Nahe Modu is not a soldier of the Sui Dynasty, secondly, he is not a commoner of the Sui Dynasty, and thirdly, he has not received my amnesty. How can he enjoy it?" The treatment of the soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty?"

"Uh……"

All the generals stared at Yang Tong dumbfounded. Is this considered robbery according to local conditions and by order?Why is my heart so excited?
"The last general knows his mistake, after the last general, hehe, he knows what to do..." Luo Shixin twitched the corners of his mouth and laughed.

"Let me first declare that this is an external and special situation, and only the enemy can be robbed, neither the own army nor the slave soldiers can be robbed! During the civil war, if you rob the heads of soldiers who surrendered in Xiancheng, you will still be severely punished!"

"The last will obey!"

The generals happily responded.

The corner of Du Ruhui's mouth twitched: Your Highness still has such a personality.

"Your Highness, what should Ashina He Modu and others do?" Qin Qiong interrupted the cheers of the crowd. Based on his understanding of Cheng Yaojin, once this guy is happy, he should swear next. There are not only His Highness here , and girls, how can this bastard talk nonsense, so seeing him open his mouth, he immediately rushed to ask.

"Bring Ashina Hemodu and other chiefs here!" Yang Tong's expression suddenly turned serious.

Now the main force of the Western Turks has been remnant and the Hetao has fallen, but the threat from the grassland has never stopped since ancient times. Before he was unable to enter the grassland, the more chaos there, the more in line with the interests of the Sui Dynasty.

"Your Highness, Ashina He Modu and others brought it here."

After a while, the Xuanjia army escorted Ashina He Modu and others to the big tent.

The leader, Ashina He Modu, strode forward with his head held high. Although he became a prisoner, the rebellious temperament of the superiors of the grassland nation has not disappeared.

Yang Tong didn't even know where his confidence came from.

At the side, Cheng Yaojin saw Ashina Hemo standing with his hands behind his back, stared around his eyes, and said sharply: "Turkic dog thief, you don't kneel down when you see my Highness King Qin of the Sui Dynasty?"

Ashina He Modu's gaze finally came back from Yin Mingyue, he straightened his clothes, and looked at Yang Tong defiantly: "I am the Great Khan of the Western Turks, according to the rules of your Sui Dynasty, I am equal to your Sui emperor. Although I have lost the Western Turks, His Royal Highness King Qin cannot make me kneel!"

That natural expression made everyone in the big tent happy.

"Not bad, Great Khan has a lot of backbone." Yang Tong looked at Ashina He Modu, and said with a smile, "I don't have the self-consciousness of being a prisoner, but I have learned a lot about the arrogance of a scholar." , or even green out of blue and blue, amazing you."

"I'm not a prisoner!" Seeing the uneasy expressions on everyone's faces, Ashina He Modu calmed down a little: "I know that I'm a prisoner, but I'm not! I came here to form an alliance with the Sui Dynasty with sincerity! I wish to have different surnames with His Highness Brothers, don’t ask for the same year, the same month, and the same day, but ask for the same year, the same month, and the same day to die, and from then on, we will never violate each other.”

"This bastard!" Yang Tong with black hair, felt that he had met the patriarch of the 'Shameless', and said with a sneer, "How old are you this year?"

"Three out of fifty!" Ashina Homo said in bewilderment.

"I'm only 19 years old this year." Yang Tong looked at him coldly, and said coldly, "I'm going to die with you, 'the same year, the same month, the same day'? You fucking bear, go ahead and dream."

These days, even treacherous things like time travel have happened, Yang Tong doesn't dare to swear indiscriminately, what should he do if he promises?
After a moment of surprise, everyone burst into laughter!

"You even killed your own nephew, why never offend each other, who are you lying to?" Yang Tong glanced at Ashina He Modu, and shook his head: "Tong Yehu Khan is both wise and brave. A great character, even though he is an enemy, I still respect the magnanimity of his generation of heroes! And you, Ashina Hemodu, who is selfish, greedy for life and afraid of death, what are you? I am equal to Sui?"

"What are you doing?" Ashina He Modu's heart sank suddenly, and a bad premonition arose!

"Get them all out!" Yang Tong smiled coldly.

After staying outside the camp, Ashina He Modu and other Western Turkic chiefs saw groups of surrendered soldiers with their hands and feet bound being driven together by the vicious Sui army. These Turkic soldiers who thought they had escaped looked blankly. around.

Teams of archers with cold and handsome expressions pointed at the more than a thousand Turkic soldiers with gleaming crossbow arrows.

In an instant, a terrible thought flashed in Ashina He Modu's mind... The Sui army was going to kill all the Turkic warriors who surrendered!

Didn't the Sui army not kill soldiers?

"Stop! You can't do this!" Ashina He Modu rushed towards Yang Tong like a wounded wild wolf.

"Hmph!" Luo Shixin snorted coldly, and punched him heavily in the stomach. Ashina Homo cried out in pain, fell to his knees, and struggled angrily a few times, but Luo Shixin stepped on his leg At the bend, he couldn't struggle at all.

"Don't you guys not kill soldiers? Aren't you afraid of punishment from the gods?" Ashina Homodu snarled at Yang Tong, struggling frantically.

"My Central Plains has been a great country in the celestial dynasty with benevolence and justice first since ancient times. Killing and surrendering is regarded as an ominous sign! So as long as you are willing to surrender, they will often treat you with benevolence and justice in order to show the greatness of the country. However, the emperors of all dynasties did not I know that you are wolves in human skin, and I don’t know that not only do you wolves not appreciate the benevolence and righteousness of the Central Plains, but they think that the Central Plains Dynasty is a fool and a coward, so that they become extravagant and plunder the border people even more brutally.”

Yang Tong looked inside the encirclement and roared when he realized the intention of the Sui army. The roaring Western Turkic soldiers said flatly, "Facts have proved that the Central Plains' policy of 'beginning with etiquette before fighting' for you for thousands of years is wrong, and you should indeed be kind to people." ! But for you humanoid beasts, you can only stop killing by killing! So I will do the opposite, and 'soldiers first, then salutes' to you."

"You..." Ashina He Modu raised his head, looked at Yang Tong firmly, and roared angrily, "You promised me that you would not kill us."

"Did I promise you?"

"This..." Ashina He Modu glared at Yang Tong angrily, speechless.

Yang Tong chuckled: "The people who promised you didn't kill you, so they didn't break their promise! I didn't promise you to surrender, so I killed you as a matter of course. This is not only not contradictory, but also reasonable, and we are still in a war period. I killed you." What's wrong with your enemies?"

"..." General Sui was amazed when he heard it, and Cheng Yaojin even muttered: "I have learned a lot, and I have learned another trick."

"you……"

"What are you? Go and be buried with Tong Yehu Khan, he is quite lonely by himself. Let the arrow go!"

As soon as Yang Tong finished speaking, the archers of the Sui Dynasty began to pour arrows at the unarmed Turkic warriors, ruthlessly harvesting their fragile lives.

Killing people was not Yang Tong's original intention.

But these people are at the top of the tower of Western Turkic power. They are capable, powerful, famous, and charismatic. If they return to Qianquan alive, the tribes of Western Turkic people will soon gather under the command of a certain person. In less than a year or two, Western Turks will become a unified aggressive country again.

So if they were kept, it would bring great instability to Sui's strategy of the Western Regions, and even threaten the normal life of the border residents of Sui.

And wars are often full of variables. In the next battle, even if Tai Sui still wins, it may not be as easy as this time.

For the sake of peace in the western part of the Sui Dynasty, and to reduce obstacles to marching into the Western Regions, these top powerful figures in the Western Turks must die.

Only when these great figures are extinct, will the Western Turkic tribes fight for tribal chiefs without a leader. In three steps, the young and strong of Western Turks are almost gone.During this period, the Sui only had to fan the flames to weaken them in the civil war.
