Man Tanghong

After the horse meat is eaten, the Turks will surrender.

As for cannibalism...

Ashnabil may dare to give such an order, but he will never be able to say it himself.

Because he is a 'clean man', he was born as an emperor and a nobleman, and there is no shortage of all kinds of delicious food on weekdays. Therefore, he has never experienced the kind of life that slaves at the lowest level live, and naturally he cannot eat what only slaves at the lowest level can endure. bitter.

So after he runs out of ammunition and food, as long as he doesn't want to die, he will definitely surrender.

……

Time flies, and another five days have passed.

After the horses brought into the ravine were eaten, Ashnabil finally descended.

He tied his hands, led a group of tribesmen who took off their armor and discarded their weapons, and walked out of the ravine step by step.

Li Shimin immediately sent people out to get him back, and then sent people into the ditch to collect the armor and weapons they had thrown away.

After collecting all the armor and weapons, Li Shimin escorted him and his tribe to appear on the hill.

After Li Shimin threw him on the hill like a piglet, he said he was tired and went to find a place to sleep.

This style of doing things, brushing off the clothes and hiding merit and fame, is very suitable for this era.

Li Yuanji hopes that Li Shimin can often carry forward this style.

After Li Shimin left, Li Yuanji walked up to Ashinabil with a smile and said, "I think my second brother has talked to you about everything that needs to be said and discussed, right?"

Ashnabil knelt on the ground with his hair disheveled, nodded his head with a face full of reluctance, and said in a stiff tone: "I will issue an order in my name to all the tribes under the rule of my Suni tribe, and let them surrender to you. Tang's.

But I can’t guarantee whether they are still willing to listen to me. "

Li Yuanji chuckled and said: "Yes, they will definitely do it. If they don't listen, I, Datang, will beat them until they listen to you."

When Ashenabil heard this, his face changed slightly and became ugly, but soon it turned into a look of helplessness.

He is now a prisoner. What the Tang Dynasty will do to Suni's lost troops and what they will do to Suni's lost troops is no longer something he can control.

Suni's fate of losing his troops may have been doomed the moment he chose to adopt Yang Zhengdao's suggestion.

"Take him down and treat him well! As for the others, send them all to Shuofang City, and the governor of Shuozhou in Shuofang City will make arrangements!"

Li Yuanji had no intention of continuing the conversation with Ashinabil. After a brief chat with Ashinabil, he directly made a ruling on him and his tribe.

Ashinabil took the initiative to be sent back to Chang'an City and slipped to the Taimiao for exhibition.

As for the Ashina tribe, since they are a royal family of Turks, they cannot be dispersed and relocated to various gathering places, let alone incorporated into the corps that will be established in the future. Therefore, they are handed over to the governor of Shuozhou and let Shuozhou It would be best for the governor to sell them as slaves in newly recovered areas.

"Here!"

Ma Jizhong was one step ahead of Xue Wanche, and after excitedly agreeing, he went to do this kind of thing.

Xue Wanche glanced at him several times with disdain.

"This person is too utilitarian!"

After Xue Wanche took Ashinabile and his people away in Ma Jizhong, he commented on Ma Jizhong in disgust.

Li Yuanji glanced at Xue Wanche and said in a funny tone: "Do you think it's all you?"

He comes from a wealthy family, with three capable older brothers taking care of him, and a capable younger brother covering the bottom.

With such a large amount of capital, let alone a capable person, even a pig that can't do anything will take off.

This is the gap between people.

Some people can live a rich life just lying down, while some people may not be able to have enough food and clothing even if they risk their lives.

"What's wrong, sir?"

Xue Wanche didn't understand the big gap between himself and Ma Jizhong at all, nor did he understand how ironic his words to ridicule Ma Jizhong were, so he asked with a confused look on his face.

Li Yuanji was too lazy to explain to Xue Wanche, because even if such a thing was explained, it would be meaningless.

In this era, as a superior person, talking about equality and fairness is digging your own grave.

Because those in power in this era rely on inequality and unfairness to stand over everyone. Talking about equality and fairness is digging into their own roots.

Not only will your own people hate you, but other superiors will also hate you.

It is almost difficult for those who are hated by their own people and other superiors to survive in this era.

So people have to go with the flow, and you have to be what kind of person you are. If you go against the flow, you will definitely be shot to death by the flow.

"You are fine!"

Li Yuanji smiled and praised, then walked into the tent, leaving Xue Wanche standing there scratching his head.

...After Li Shimin had enough rest, Li Yuanji ordered the squad to return to camp. All the soldiers on the hill packed their things and began to return to Aries City.

After returning to Aries City, Li Yuanji immediately passed the "decision" written by Ashina Biel to Su Dingfang, Li Jing, Ashina Simo and others, and asked them to use this will to recruit and surrender Suni's lost tribes. .

Su Dingfang, Li Jing, and Ashina Simo received help from Ashina Biel's "will", and it was like divine help to conquer Suni's lost tribe.

Especially Ashina Simo, because he is related to the Turkic royal family, he has the trust of the Suni tribes. He has surrendered the most Suni tribes, and his troops have broken through in a very short period of time. When it reached 12, the number of accounts under his command also exceeded [-], and the number of cattle and sheep collected was millions.

In comparison, Li Jing and Su Dingfang did not gain as much as him.

Li Jing only recruited four tribes that Suni had lost.

Su Dingfang had even fewer, and only surrendered one.

As for the brothers Xue Wanshu and Xue Wanshu, maybe it was because they got the news relatively late, or maybe they inherited Chai Shao's style. Although they captured many Turks, they failed to recruit a complete Suni army. tribe.

They even wiped out two tribes that had lost their tribes in Suni.

After reading the battle report they sent back from the east, Li Shimin curled his lips and made an evaluation of them, "The two brothers are not suitable to appear on the Turkic battlefield again..."

When Xue Wanche heard this, he felt upright for his two brothers, "Why?"

Li Shimin ignored him and continued: "After this war is over, transfer the two of them back to Chang'an City, and transfer the other two people over. I personally suggest that Zhang Liang and Qiu Xinggong be transferred over."

Li Yuanji didn't pay any attention to Xue Wanche, but nodded in agreement with Li Shimin's words.

Xue Wanshu and Xue Wanshu caused such great massacres in the Turks, and would kill a tribe at every turn. This seemed to enhance their reputation and the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, but in fact it was not conducive to the subsequent development of the Tang Dynasty. fighting.

Because what they did would definitely arouse the fear of various Turkic tribes. In the subsequent war between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks, the Western Turks were defeated by the Tang Dynasty. Even if they wanted to surrender, they did not dare to face them. If we surrender, we can only fight to the death with them.

This will increase Datang's losses.

So they had to be transferred back and replaced by two people.

And Zhang Liang and Qiu Xinggong recommended by Li Shimin were not good people. Instead, they were both murderers. Among them, Zhang Liang was more murderous than the Xue brothers.

After all, whether it is the Xue brothers or Qiu Xinggong, they are all from a family of generals, and they are more or less particular about it, but Zhang Liang was born in a poor family, so he is not so particular about it.

Rules such as not chasing poor criminals and not killing defenseless people simply did not exist in front of him.

He will kill all the enemies he identifies, whether they are poor bandits or not, whether they are armed or not.

Even though he was like a doormat in Chang'an City, he did whatever the court asked him to do, and he didn't even dare to say anything, so he thought he was easy to bully.

In fact, he is a ruthless person who dares to accept more than 500 adopted sons.

Because Li Shimin killed the Xue brothers too much, he proposed to send the two brothers back and replace them with two more ruthless ones. It seemed a bit like taking off his pants and farting, but in fact there was something special about it.

The Xue brothers have become famous in the Turks, and the Turks have also seen how ruthless their brothers are, so they will be on guard against their brothers and will fight to the death if they encounter them.

But Zhang Liang and Qiu Xinggong have not made a name for themselves in the Turks, and the Turks don't know how ruthless they are, so if they are allowed to come, the Turks will not be on guard against them, nor will they think of fighting to the death when they encounter them. .

Although it would be more effective to replace two less lethal ones, in a war, there will always be some who play the good side and some who play the bad side.

If everyone sings the praises, the enemy will lose their awe.

If you all make a fool of yourself, your enemies will be forced to fight to the death.

So combining red and white is the best.

However, among the candidates recommended by Li Shimin, Zhang Liang had a good impression on Li Yuanji, but Qiu Xinggong and Li Yuanji did not like him.

The reason lies in his father Qiu He and his brother Qiu Shili.

When Qiu He was the Minister of War in Daxingtai, Hebei Province, he was in Cao Ying and his heart was with Han. The same was true when Qiu Shili was serving under Li Xiuning.

So Li Yuanji doesn't like people from the Qiu family.

Fortunately, in the early Tang Dynasty, there was no shortage of people, especially generals. Li Yuanji did not have to worry about the people who did not use the Qiu family being available in the future.

"What do you think of Guo Jing?"

Li Yuanji asked suddenly.

Li Shimin was obviously taken aback, "Xiao Ke?"

Li Yuanji nodded slowly. The Xiaoke in Li Shimin's mouth was Guo Jing. Xiaoke was Guo Jing's character, and it was also the most familiar name to future generations.

Guo Jing and Guo Xiaoke were from Yangzhai in Xuzhou. He participated in the Wagang Army uprising in his early years and followed Li Shiji to guard Liyang. After he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he was appointed governor of Songzhou and granted the title of Duke of Yangzhai County. In the fourth year of Wude, he accompanied Li Shimin in the eastward expedition to Luoyang and offered advice to Li Shimin. The strategy of "sticking to Hulao, marching to Sishui, and adapting to changes" helped Li Shimin win the battle of Hulao Pass, and he was worshiped as Shangzhuguo for his merits.

Now he serves as governor and governor in Jingzhou.

Historically, he did not start to become successful again until the Zhenguan period. However, his achievements were not as great as those who became successful at the same time, and his status was not as prominent as those who debuted at the same time, so his reputation was not great.

But he is a brave and wise general.
