Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1198
"Please surrender!"

Tens of thousands of Kucha people shouted in unison, facing the less than [-] Turkic Qingqi and [-] Kucha troops, no one dared to resist.

They put down their weapons long ago and begged for a living.

Ashinami shot immediately, looked at the Kucha people who were kneeling on the ground, and said with a sneer, "Put down your weapons, take off your armor, walk out of the camp, kneel down and surrender!"

His order was passed down, and the generals of Kucha immediately took the lead in disarming and disarming. They raised their hands high and led out of the camp.

Mishe asked Qiuci's soldiers to go to the bank of the Bahuan River.

When he reached the river, he asked all the surrendered soldiers to take off their clothes without leaving any traces.

Kucha's surrender followed suit, and no one resisted.

When the Tug-of-War was changed, more than [-] Kucha soldiers gathered in Guangguang surrendered, and Mi She showed a cruel look in his eyes.

"Kill them all, leave no one behind!"

The cavalry of the Gongyue Department was dispatched first, followed by the East Turkic cavalry of the mud division on the other side.

From the beginning to the end, only Ashina Danai took his three thousand light cavalry and did not move out, but just watched quietly, neither joining nor stopping.

Six thousand Turkic light cavalry repeatedly rushed and trampled, screaming and screaming endlessly.

The killing lasted for most of the day.

Change the city.

Xiao Jin is known as the King of Hades, but standing on the city, overlooking the scene of changing the tug-of-war in the distance below the city, he couldn't help being stunned.

"Why kill?"

Xiao Jin couldn't help looking for Monk Xu who was on the top of the wall to watch.

"Please allow the commander to stop these Turkic people from doing evil."

Monk Xu just stood there, watching quietly.

He shook his head and sighed, "I can't stop it. I just received the news that these Turks slaughtered more than [-] Shunishi people in Yingsuo River."

Xiao Jin was stunned, "How is this possible!"

"Is there anything impossible? This is war. War is always cruel."

Although Monk Xu was a monk in the past, he had stayed with the emperor for several years, so of course he knew the cruelty of many things.

Shu Nishi's treatment of the Kucha people was indeed excessive.

But the question is, without the approval of the above, would the Turks dare to do this?
The supreme commander of this battle in the Western Regions was Cheng Yaojin, the governor of Anxi Daozuo. This matter must have been ordered by him. He, Monk Xu, is only the commander of a patrol battalion, so he has so much control over it.

"Your Majesty will certainly not allow this to happen."

"All right, it happened. This is a battlefield, and we are soldiers, so we cannot resist orders."

Xiao Yanwang was silent.

By the bank of the Tuchang River, there was no more standing Kucha soldiers.

The river was clogged and the water was stained red.

"There are more than 5 people." Xiao Yanwang sighed, "Cheng Dudu will pay the price, there will be countless censors to impeach him, and he will become a notorious human slaughter."

Monk Xu reminded King Xiao Yan that in fact, when the emperor conquered Goguryeo, he also slaughtered the city several times, killing more than [-] people.

"Cheng Dudu's methods are a bit too fierce and cruel, but it cannot be said that they are all wrong. This time the war was first provoked by the Kucha people, and the Shunishi people sent troops to seek their own death. For these two It is impossible for the court to tolerate the country's rebellion, even if Dudu Cheng slaughtered them, there are certain legitimate reasons."

However, this matter was indeed too ruthless. Someone will impeach Cheng Yaojin in the future. Maybe he will be punished for it in the end, but it will never be serious.

Xiao Yanwang sees things on the surface, but Monk Xu has already been able to see the essence through the surface.

After slaughtering the soldiers, the Turkic soldiers asked to enter the city.

Monk Xu refused.

Ashina Misho was not very happy, "Why are the patrolling people so stinky? Liu Heifu of the second patrolling regiment is like this, and now the commander of the patrolling battalion, Monk Xu, is also like this."

Complaints are nothing but complaints, but facing Monk Xu who is closed and unwilling, Mi She dare not make mistakes. Although he was ruthless in killing rats, Nishi people and Kucha people, he did not dare to be half-disciplined with Qin people.

after one day.

Five eunuchs Cheng Yaojin, Pei Xingyan, Xue Wanche, Niu Jinda and Zhai Rang arrived with their troops.

The first thing Lao Cheng did when he arrived in Bahuan City was not to pursue Mi She and Sheer's killing of prisoners, but to order the purge of the Kucha people in Bahuan City.

All those who served as officials in Kucha or nobles in Kucha in the city were executed, and even the three clans were implicated.

Xiao Yu stood up to object, but it couldn't stop Cheng Yaojin.

"Xiao Gong, you are now serving as an official." Old Cheng said hehe, but actually implied that Xiao Yu was no longer the prime minister, and he was still an official, so he had no right to interfere with his decision.

"Cheng Yaojin, you idiot, now that the overall situation has been settled, it is useless to kill more, how to deal with it should be decided by the sage and the court."

Cheng Yaojin said hehehe, "My old Cheng will do the dirty work first, and I will be the villain. When I finish the dirty work, the imperial court can show him kindness again, and then the Western Regions will return to peace." Yes. Xiao Gong, why do dirty and tiring jobs have to be done by someone, I can’t do half of it, and then the court has to arrange someone to do it, how inappropriate.”

Xiao Yu was speechless.

Cheng Yaojin ordered.

There was once again chaos in the city of Bachang.

But the harder Lao Cheng killed, the more fearful the Kucha people became.

The Qin army went out everywhere, and although there were some people willing to resist in the remaining cities and villages of Qiuci, those cities were relatively small, especially the king recruited away the soldiers and horses in the city and many young and strong men who could fight, leaving a group of old people, young women, etc. , and how to keep it.

Coupled with Jin Yiwei's secret assistance, cities were destroyed one after another.

Within half a month, more than [-] major cities and more than [-] small cities in the Kucha Kingdom were all captured.

To the south of the Tianshan Mountains, Kucha, the most powerful country, was destroyed as a result.

As a very powerful country in the Western Regions that entered Chinese history books in the Western Han Dynasty, after all the wind and rain, it still did not escape the fate of being destroyed.

Cheng Yaojin said that he would do dirty work for the court, but he kept his word.

After he conquered the entire Kucha Kingdom, he simply killed all the royal family, nobles, officials, and soldiers of the original Kucha Kingdom, and then captured all the remaining Kucha people as slaves.

The three Anxi counties participating in this battle, as well as Dunhuang and Zhangye in Hexi, Shanshan and Qiemo in Qinghai, Wulei County in Ashina Mishe, and Nishi County in Ashinasheer.

The nine counties plus the 72 princes of Yili County all participated in the distribution of slaves, and each of the ten counties got a share.

The livestock wealth of the Shunishi tribe, which was destroyed in Yingsuochuan, was divided equally between the three counties of Anxi and the five families of Mishe and Sheer, with each family getting [-]%.

However, the cities and lands of Kucha and Shunishi belong to the imperial court.

Cheng Yaojin also appointed Liu Hefu, the head of the second cavalry regiment, to inspect the school and be the prefect of Kucha.

He also newly established Gumo County in the west of Qiuci, such as Bachang, Dashi, and Weitou, and appointed Monk Xu as the governor of Gumo County.

As for Yingsuo County, which has been emptied, Xiao Yan Wang was appointed as the prefect to inspect the school.

"Demolish all the messy Buddhist temples, Jing temples, Zoroastrian temples, Manichaeism temples, etc. in the cities of Kucha, and there must be no temples or Taoist temples in the city. One or two temples can be kept outside each city depending on the situation, but the government is required. The examination and approval must be carried out in accordance with the imperial court's laws and regulations governing monkhood."

"The middle road of the Silk Road in the Western Regions is reopened!"

Xiao Yu blew his beard and stared angrily at what Lao Cheng had done, and had no choice but to throw his sleeves back to the Yili fief in anger. Surrender, corruption, robbery and other crimes.

Lao Cheng is very free and easy, no matter what others say about him, he still insists on his own way anyway, and when everything is almost arranged, he will lead the army back to Gaochang with many slaves, livestock, money and property, etc. .
