Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 642 Proton Army

How to deal with the defeated Turkic army is not a simple matter.

In the battle of Pinglu Valley, the Sui army beheaded [-] people, captured [-] people, and captured [-] Tiele people.Afterwards, Piantouzhai went down, and Qi Lifu set up a rate of more than [-] troops to surrender.

So now in Luo Cheng's prison camp, there are nearly 3 Turkic prisoners in total, and there are more than [-] Tiele people who have defected.

Not to mention how to deal with the Tiele people who defected, even the nearly [-] Turkic captives are also a problem.

The fourth child said to kill directly, but when he said killing, his voice did not fluctuate at all, as if killing a hundred thousand Turkic captives was like crushing a bedbug to death.

At the Sui Army's own four-town military meeting, Luo Cheng discussed this issue again with Li Jing, Yun Dingxing, and Siye.

Yun Dingxing, the envoy of Zhenwu Army Jiedu in Monan Road, is a handsome old man, but he is a man who murders even his own nephew. Luo Cheng doesn't trust his character, so he only treats him superficially. , Neri kept a distance.

Yun Dingxing also has a part-time job as the General of the Twelve Guards, Luo Cheng is the General of the Left Tunwei, and he is the General of the Right Tunwei.

As soon as he spoke, it was amazing.

"Chu Gong, in the Northern Wei Dynasty Tuoba and Houyan Murong fought for the world. Although the two tribes were both Xianbei, the Houyan Murong clan was stronger at that time. Tuoba has always been married to Murong, but in fact he was regarded as a subordinate by the Murong clan. But Later, the Northern Wei Dynasty became stronger, so the Murong family regarded the Tuoba family as a thorn in their side."

In the end, the Murong Clan still found an excuse to send troops to attack the Tuoba Clan. In that battle, the forces of the two sides were very different.Later Yan's army advanced and rushed, while the Northern Wei Dynasty adopted the method of retreating. The enemy advances and retreats, luring the enemy to go deep, delaying and not fighting.

The Hou Yan army's expedition to the Northern Wei Dynasty dragged from summer to winter. Although the results were very fruitful, they failed to defeat the main force of the Northern Wei Dynasty.When they wanted to withdraw their troops later, the Northern Wei army began to pursue them.

In the end, the [-] Houyan elite were defeated by the [-] Northern Wei Army.

After the war, the Northern Wei Dynasty killed all the more than [-] Houyan troops who were captured.

At that time, many officials of the Northern Wei Dynasty believed that the captives should be given clothes and food and let them go home, hoping to use such kindness to win the favor of the people of Houyan.

But someone persuaded the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, saying that Houyan was powerful and had a large population. This time we mobilized the power of the whole country to attack. Our victory was very lucky. It is better to kill all these people, so that the interior of Houyan will be empty, which can greatly reduce the their strength.

So in the end, the Northern Wei pit killed more than [-] elite Houyan troops. After this battle, Houyan's strength did drop drastically, and within a few years, it was defeated by the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Yun Dingxing brought this matter up to remind Luo Cheng.

The strength of the Turks is still very strong, and the civil strife in the Central Plains is currently turbulent. If these Turks are sent back, it will be letting the tiger go back to the mountain, so it is better to kill them all.

If none of the 30 troops who went south this time cannot return, then it is guaranteed that within ten years, the Turks will not be able to go south to Yinshan.

"Pharmacist, what do you think?"

Luo Cheng didn't directly say whether Yun Dingxing's proposal was good or bad, but instead asked Li Jing.

Although Li Jing was only the magistrate, he represented the Mayi army here. The result of this battle was achieved jointly by the four armies. Of course, the attitude of the Mayi army is also very important.

"Chu Guogong, I thought that the Tiele people could be put back. The Tiele people lived in Mobei, and they have always been rebellious with the Turkic people, and they vacillated between the East and West Turks. After Yanmen withdrew, they killed [-] Tiele troops viciously at the Shahu Pass, Qibi Gelen and Tong Luoba were all killed by him, and the Tiele people had long been angry."

"If we let the Tiele people go back to Mobei, they will definitely belong to the Sui Dynasty, and then attack each other with the Dobi who returned to Mobei."

It was almost November now, and although the Sui army had won a big victory, they were unable to attack Mobei again.

Duobi had returned to Mobei a long time ago, and when Shibi died, he would probably inherit the Khan throne in Mobei. If the Tiele people were sent back at this time, then the Tiele people would definitely have to fight Duobi.

"This is a strategy to drive away tigers and wolves. We just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight."

Luo Cheng felt that Li Jing's plan was reasonable, the Sui army was unable to kill Mobei, if Duobi was allowed to proclaim sweat in Mobei, Duobi would still have a strong force.

However, Luo Cheng was unwilling to put all the Tiele people back just like this.

"The tribes of Mobei Tiele are strong. The Qibi tribe has more than [-] tents and is the first tribe of Tiele. The Xue Yantuo tribe is formed by the merger of the Xue tribe and the Yantuo tribe, and there are currently more than [-] tents." Luo Cheng slowly revealed the data, "This time the Qibi tribe and Tong Luo were killed by Shibi, and there were more than [-] soldiers killed by him and during the Southern Expedition. , the Qibi Department can still pull up no less than [-] soldiers."

"Xue Yantuo also lost more than [-] horses this time. With his strength of [-] tents, he can still pull up [-] soldiers."

"If you let them go back like this, there will be endless troubles."

Yun Dingxing looked at Luo Cheng, "Then what does Duke Chu plan to do?"

"Whether it is the Turkic people or the Tiele people, when they fight, they are mostly composed of regular troops and servants. Generally, the young and strong are the regular troops, and they prepare their own weapons and horses. They are recruited to accompany the army in case of battle. Then they will also bring one of the threshing valley and one of the guards, these two servants may be slaves of the main army or their children."

The nomadic tribes on the grassland are basically like this. They are nomadic in normal times, and they are recruited in case of war. Generally, all the people are soldiers.But also according to the size of the war, to recruit soldiers.

Among the soldiers, there will be the main army and the servants who are auxiliary soldiers.

The servants were responsible for plundering the grass valleys, helping to set up and guard the camp, and even helping to look after the rest of the horses when the main army went to battle, and helping to capture the prisoners when the battle was won.

Of course, sometimes, these servants will also participate in the battle.

Many servants are very young, and they are young brothers or sons and nephews of the main army. They take them to the battlefield, teach them how to fight, and lead them to plunder.

The warriors of the grassland tribes also grew up in this way.

"I plan to let Tie Le's regular army go back, and leave their young servant and nephew behind."

"Leave?"

"Well, our army suffered a lot this time, so I plan to keep some young Tiele tribe's children, and then add them to our frontier army in the four towns."

Doing so not only supplemented the strength of the four towns, but also held the children of Tiele as hostages. In addition, it could weaken the strength of the Tiele people.

After all, the Tiele people defected on the battlefield, and they are more reliable than the Turkic people.

Of the [-] Tiele people, Luo Cheng plans to keep about half of them and add them to the four towns.

This proposal made people's eyes shine, and the four generals quickly agreed, and then it was how to distribute it.

Finally, it was agreed that Luo Cheng's Zhongwu army would be divided into six thousand, Siye's Xuanwu army would be divided into four thousand, Yun Dingxing's Zhenwu army would be divided into three thousand, and Wang Rengong's Mayi Yiwu army would be divided into two thousand.
