Man Tanghong

Chapter 670 The Outrageous Battle (Eighteen)
"Less than 20...that's no different from 20."

Li Shimin said with emotion, and at this point, he looked at Han Liang and said, "Take them to Hebei Road to meet Chai Shao, let Chai Shao take them to conquer Li Yi, and tell Li Xiaogong by the way that they must be captured within three months." Li Yi, if you can't take Li Yi down, let them go home to retire."

It's just Li Yi, no matter how strong he is, he shouldn't drag down the three or four commanders of the Tang Dynasty, a dozen or so capable generals, and hundreds of lieutenants who are well-ranked in the Tang Dynasty.

With such a lineup, it is enough to fight Turkic, let alone Li Yi, the leader of a state.

If they can't take down Li Yi within three months, it means they are working but not working hard, and they must be taught a lesson.

When Han Liang heard this, he stared in astonishment, not knowing whether he should listen or not.

After all, Li Shimin has been deprived of all his official titles, and now he is just a commoner, and he is no longer qualified to command any official in Datang.

Although Li Yuanji temporarily appointed Li Shimin as the chief of the army, it was only a verbal appointment, and there was no relevant official document. Therefore, when Li Yuanji was around, Li Shimin could still pretend to be a tiger. If Li Yuanji was gone, no one could order Li Shimin. .

Of course, these are not the most critical.

The most important thing is that Li Yuanji is right next to him, and he listened to Li Shimin's order, which is not good for him or Li Shimin.

But if he doesn't listen, Li Shimin has already given the order, and if he doesn't respond, it's easy to make Li Shimin unable to step down.

Li Shimin waited for a long time, but did not wait for Han Liang to respond. After looking back, he saw Han Liang standing there with an embarrassed face, and glanced at him and Li Yuanji from time to time.

Li Yuanji looked at him with a half-smile.

Li Shimin coughed dryly, and said, "Yuanji, give an order."

Li Yuanji rode his horse forward slowly, one horse head ahead of Li Shimin, and said with a half-smile: "What order to give, and who to give it to, haven't you already given the order?"

Li Shimin's eyelids twitched slightly, and said with some annoyance: "When is this, do you still care about this?"

Li Yuanji smiled and said with emotion: "If I don't care about this, you will ride on my head."

Li Shimin said angrily, "I've never thought about it that way..."

Li Yuanji laughed and said: "You order Han Liang today and Chen Shuda tomorrow, and it won't be long before you will let the whole army obey your orders. Then you can bypass me and use everyone in the army to help you do it." whatever you want.

At that time, if you want to ride on my head, and even take the opportunity to take me down, wouldn't it be a breeze. "

Li Shimin's face darkened, he gritted his molars and said, "You think too much..."

Li Jiancheng watched the excitement and stepped forward without thinking it was a big deal: "Yuan Ji didn't think much of it at all, that's what you thought, and you're going to do it."

Li Shimin gave Li Jiancheng a vicious look.

Li Jiancheng raised his head, with an expression of 'you can't help me'.

Li Yuanji glanced at Li Jiancheng, then looked at Li Shimin and said, "Okay, after this battle is over, second brother, you can continue to reflect on Anli Gate.

Originally, I was planning to reunite you with your sister-in-law and the others after this war is over, but it seems that it is no longer necessary. "

Li Shimin stared in astonishment, with an expression of 'how can you do this'.

Li Yuanji didn't talk to Li Shimin any more, looked at Youda and said, "You are Turkic, and we will fight against 20 elite Turkic soldiers. Send you to Hebei Road to help Chai Shao, Huo Guogong of Datang, to fight.

If you perform well enough and fight hard enough, I will allocate an area outside Yanzhou after the war to give you a place to live.

If you are smart enough, you can send someone to contact your clansmen on the way to Hebei Road, so that they can quietly move to Yanzhou when Jieli and Tuli are not around.

If you can encourage other tribes who don't want to stay in Turkic to move to Yanzhou with your tribe, then I will hand over these people to your jurisdiction. "

It is impossible for the Dali troops that Da Da belonged to to defect from the West Turks to the East Turks. It is impossible to bring only the people who control the strings, but they must also bring the old and weak women and children of the clan, as well as cattle, sheep and horses.

These are the hostages and foundations that can keep the strength department attached to Datang. After arriving in Datang, those cattle, sheep and horses will also become Datang's wealth.

Therefore, it would definitely be a good thing if Xie Da could move all Xieli and Tuli to Yanzhou before they could react.

It would be even better if during this process, those tribes who also defected from the West Turks to the East Turks could be encouraged to migrate to Yanzhou together and attach themselves to the Tang Dynasty.

When the Tang Dynasty conquered the Turks, not only would there be an extra new army, but also a large group of people who would help the Tang Dynasty herd horses and sheep.

More importantly, under the ebb and flow, Datang will become stronger, while Turkic will continue to weaken.

As long as the Turkic people attached to the Tang Dynasty are treated better, and their good life is publicized, those small tribes that cannot survive under the pressure of Tong Yehu and Xieli will definitely defect from the Turkic people and flee to Yanzhou .

After all, the royal family branches of the Western Turks all betrayed the Western Turks and escaped from the Western Turks, and the small Khan Tuli of the Eastern Turks also betrayed the Great Khan Jieli. escape.

And Tong Yehu is more greedy than Jieli, and Jieli is more greedy than Tang Dynasty. It is self-evident where those small tribes should flee.

Da Da was dazed by the sudden happiness, and quickly threw out the idea of ​​the seeming incompatibility between the princes of the Tang Dynasty that he had just seen, and stammered with an unbelievable expression: " You... are you willing to let me send someone back to contact my people? Are you willing to give my people a place to live?
Are you still willing to accept those small tribes that have nowhere to go, and are willing to hand them over to me to lead? "

Li Yuanji smiled and said, "That's natural..."

Canda beat his chest with one hand excitedly and vigilantly, and said respectfully: "My noble king, your most loyal servant, Canda, do you know why you did this?

As far as I know, Datang is not a generous country. "

Li Yuanji said with a cheerful smile: "The Great Tang is indeed not a generous country, because the Great Tang does not allow any foreign enemies to invade the Great Tang, nor does it allow any outsiders to occupy every part of the Great Tang's land.

However, my servant, you have already taken refuge in Datang and proved your bravery to Datang. As long as you prove your loyalty to Datang again, Datang can fully accept you and your people. Treat you as your own. "

Speaking of this, Li Yuanji said with emotion: "To tell you the truth, although my Tang Dynasty is rich all over the world, but Dingkou is not prosperous, there are only 60 households, which is equivalent to 60 households of your Turks. [-] accounts.

Such a small number of people is not enough to farm and pick mulberries, herd horses and sheep in the vast territory of my Tang Dynasty.

So if you and your people are willing to serve my Great Tang and become my citizens, my Great Tang will definitely allocate a large grassland for you in your favorite place. "

At the beginning, Canda was skeptical and full of vigilance, but after listening to Li Yuanji's words, the vigilance on his face disappeared instantly, and the vigilance in his heart probably also let go, replaced by unconcealable excitement.

He didn't understand the concept of 150 million households in Datang, but he understood when it was 60 million households.

He had heard a little about how big Datang was when he was in the Western Regions. After he quickly allocated 60 million people to some areas of Datang, he found that there were indeed many places in Datang that no one cultivated. No one went to herd horses and sheep.

Datang has enough pastures for him and his people, so Li Yuanji is not lying to him.

He Da was so excited that he knelt down on the ground with a puff. After bowing down to Li Yuanji like a god and Buddha in the Western Regions, and crawling forward to kiss Li Yuanji's boots, he said excitedly: "My noble king, Thank you for your generosity, and thank you for your mercy to your servants, who will surely offer you their sincerest loyalty."

Li Yuanji nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand to Yu Wenbao who was about to pull Lida away, and continued to smile: "My servant, I have already shown you my generosity, all that remains is for you to show me your generosity." loyal."

He Da slowly got up, and piously hammered his chest with one hand and said: "My noble king, please drive me, your servant will help you defeat all your enemies."

Li Yuanji nodded again, motioning for Han Liang to come forward.

Han Liang didn't hesitate anymore, and quickly moved forward.

"Take them to Hebei Road, and let the yamen along the way provide them with food and grass. Don't starve them. After arriving in Hebei Road, ask Chai Shao to equip them with some decent soldiers.

I don't need to tell you what armor to equip, you and Chai Shao should know. "

When Li Yuanji said this, he looked at Canda and said, "My servants, as long as you are loyal enough, the armor worn by me and my soldiers will be given to you in the future."

Compared with the crude leather armor on the grassland and the rough iron armor, Datang's leather armor and iron armor are simply outrageously sophisticated.

Huo Daguang wanted to drool just looking at it, let alone put it on.

So even more excited.

In order to let Xida know that what he promised will be fulfilled, Li Yuanji also ordered Yu Wenbao to find a soldier who was similar in stature to Xida on the spot, let him take off his armor, and gave it to Xida.

As if he had found a treasure, after accepting the iron armor like accepting the most beautiful woman, he stroked it carefully, and wished he could put on the iron armor now, go to the battlefield to fight for Li Yuanji, and show Li Yuanji his loyalty.

Served by the two soldiers, after putting on the iron armor, he couldn't wait to go back and show off to his clansmen.

Not long after, there were bursts of cheers from the prisoners.

As for the fact that their clansmen died on the previous battlefield, they still have enmity with Datang, they don't care at all.

Under the influence of the wise men of the Western Regions and the religions of the Western Regions, they no longer care about life and death, but only care about whether they can have a rich habitat and whether their leaders are generous.

Datang's generosity was beyond their imagination, they had forgotten the hatred with Datang, and began to consider how to show their loyalty to His Royal Highness King Qi of Datang.
