Chapter 105 Ransom
Long Feiyu's words made Mo Ke speechless. In fact, the reason why the Turkic people were willing to fight was because they were forced by life.Tribes conquer each other to obtain better pastures, and nations conquer each other to increase more wealth.

Seeing that Moke remained silent, Long Feiyu continued: "Whether you admit it or deny it, without the inheritance of culture and civilization, the Turks will eventually disappear into history like the Huns in the past. Blindly relying on plunder to gain power, not Know how to forge ahead, you Turks will not perish in the hands of my Tang Dynasty, but will also perish in the hands of other people. You can live a carefree life in the hands of my Tang Dynasty."

Seeing the indifference of the few people, Long Feiyu sighed and said, "Since you don't want to stand out, I won't force it. Zhenbei wrote a letter to His Majesty, asking him to send General Ashina to Shuofang to take over the tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers."

Liu Zhenbei said yes, then came again: "Marshal, this Turkic man is capricious. If these tens of thousands of horses run away, it will deal a big blow to our Tang Dynasty. In my opinion, it is better to send them to southern Xinjiang and execute them alive."

Hearing Liu Zhenbei's words, Mo Ke and the others were startled. Before they could speak, Long Feiyu waved his hands and said, "General Liu, we are soldiers. Since they have put down their weapons, they are civilians. How can we fight against our own people?" Where are the people raising their butcher knives? They are ordered to go down and thoroughly investigate the crimes of all the soldiers, and those with dangerous tendencies will be sentenced to death, and the rest will be made to work on the Heshuo Grassland according to their crimes. After the completion of the construction period, they can be registered and recorded, named after the Turkic people, attached to our Tang Dynasty, and treated equally with the Han people."

"Working? Marshal, what are you asking them to do?"

"A few days ago, I wrote a letter to Yuan Peng, the guard of Hexi, asking him to send someone to bring a batch of alfalfa seeds. This grass can grow several times a year, and it is a good forage for cattle, sheep and horses. , and they are easy to store, we can open up pastures on the Heshuo grassland, reclaim wasteland, build cities, and use wool to make cotton clothes, and these all need people, these tens of thousands of soldiers have plenty of strength, let them go to work.”

While talking, a soldier came to report: "Marshal, a group of soldiers came from Hexi, pulling hundreds of carriages. The leading general wants to meet the Marshal."

Long Feiyu nodded and said, "Let them in."

As soon as the words fell, two people walked in outside the tent, and the leading man saluted Long Feiyu with a smile: "Marshal, it seems that we are late, if we come earlier, we can catch up with a big battle The Turkic people are really spineless, we are idle in Hexi every day, and we want to catch some Turkic soldiers for fun, but they just don’t go to Hexi, so I have no choice but to worry.”

Long Feiyu said with a smile: "As long as you talk a lot, you haven't encountered any danger along the way?"

The person who came shook his head and said, "When we first came out of Hexi, we met Xue Yantuo people. They wanted to rob us of supplies, but they retreated after seeing our Tang Dynasty flag."

Long Feiyu came with a groan: "This barbarian's hand is too long, tell Yuan Peng to go out more when he is free, and don't just stay in the city."

The visitor nodded and said, "Marshal, don't worry, we won't be idle. By the way, Marshal, we've already brought what you want and it's outside the tent. Do you think it's appropriate to put it there?"

Long Feiyu looked around and said to Xiao Jun: "Xiao Jun, go and put these things away, first educate these Turkic people for a period of time and send them to farm."

"Yes"

Xiao Jun agreed and walked towards the outside of the tent. When he saw Xiao Jun leaving Long Feiyu, he said to the two of them: "Fourth, fifth, sit here."

The man who spoke just now walked towards Long Feiyu with a bow, and when he passed by Wang Zhuo, he suddenly smiled and said: "Wang Zhuo, I heard that you have already belched under the siege of the Turkic people, why are you still belching?" alive?"

Wang Zhuo rolled his eyes and said, "I'm still alive even if you die, I'm dying."

The fourth child chuckled and said, "Really? Let my brother see if that part of his body has been damaged." As he spoke, he stretched out his hands and pressed on Wang Zhuo's body. Suddenly, Wang Zhuo let out a scream and hid behind Li Xu. .

"What's your name? I won't rape you. Li Xu will find that kid out for me."

The fourth child said that he stopped chasing after grabbing it a few times, and shouted to the fifth child behind him: "The fifth child brings the things."

The fifth child snorted and took out a package. The fourth child finally handed the package to Wang Zhuo and said, "Take it, boy. This is a good medicine that I got from the local people. They can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and can also replenish the blood lost in your body." .”

Wang Zhuo looked at the fourth child with puzzled eyes, pointed at Long Feiyu with a frightened look, and said, "Let the marshal see, I don't believe you, the marshal says he can eat it."

Long Feiyu waved his hand and said: "Although Wang Zhuo's fourth brother likes to joke, he treats people sincerely. He said that it is a tonic, and it is a tonic. He won't make jokes about your body. Take it."

Wang Zhuo let out an oh and was about to take it, when Long Feiyu came again: "Even though what the fourth brother said, but Wang Zhuo was seriously injured just now, you show me the medicine you picked, and let him take it if he can eat it. If you can't eat it, put it away."

The fourth child said "oh" and handed the package to Long Feiyu. Long Feiyu opened the package, looked carefully at the medicinal materials and nodded, "Tianshan Snow Lotus and Cordyceps are all good things, and they are good nourishing medicines. Fourth brother, you are really careful. You probably brought here the medicinal materials for your daughter-in-law's confinement, right?"

"Can people who have just given birth eat this thing?" The fourth child stared at Long Feiyu suspiciously.

Long Feiyu nodded and said: "Of course it can. This thing is a good nourishing thing. It is used for stewing soup, but it is a good tonic."

Hearing these old fours say dejectedly: "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have brought it. It's a waste to give Wang Zhuo a drink."

Long Feiyu chuckled and said, "You boy, Wang Zhuo took the things away and asked the kitchen to stew them for you."

Wang Zhuo let out a groan, then came over to collect the things, and carefully walked around the fourth child.Stand up to the original position.

Seeing that Long Feiyu entertained guests here and didn't take them seriously at all, Mo Ke said with some dissatisfaction: "Can you take us somewhere else if you want to make homework?"

"Yes, yes, you two, the fourth and the fifth, stand aside first, and I will clean up the dust for you later. I still have military affairs to deal with here, so I ask you to listen here."

"Yes"

The two stood aside as they spoke, and Long Feiyu glanced at them and said, "Leave the Turkic Prince and Ashina Dadu behind, and lock up the rest first."

"Yes"

A few soldiers walked in while talking, and the leading man looked at Liang Yue'er and said, "Marshal, this girl is with them, should she be detained?"

Long Feiyu waved his hand and said: "No need, this woman is an old acquaintance with us, you go down first."

"Yes"

Hearing what the soldier said, the fourth and fifth sons noticed Liang Yue'er at the side, and they lowered their voices and chattered about where.

Long Feiyu ignored the two, but looked at the Turkic prince and the coach and said, "I'll give you two a pen each, and you write letters to the Turkic Khan and ask them to pay a ransom to come to redeem them. If it's too late, I will Send you back to Chang'an for imprisonment, and then you will never want to go back to Turkic."

Mo Ke left. With the personalities of the Turkic prince and the Turkic coach, they were Long Feiyu's opponents. Under several threats, the two wisely picked up the pen and began to write the letter.

Long Feiyu and a group of generals stared at them motionlessly, and the tent seemed silent and murderous.Only the sound of two people grinding ink.

The silent scene was broken by the sound of footsteps, and a messenger walked into the big tent and saluted Long Feiyu: "Marshal, just received the official document from the imperial court, His Majesty assigned Marshal Li Ji, the general manager of Yanmen, and the general manager of Xiazhou. Chai Shao's [-] troops each, led by General Su Dingfang and General Zhang Yuan, came to support Heshuo."

Long Feiyu smiled, and then said to the messenger: "I have ordered Su Dingfang and Zhang Yuan to gather under Honghua City, with Su Dingfang as the main general and Zhang Yuan as the deputy general to take down Honghua City."

"Yes"

Hearing that Long Feiyu was going to capture Honghua City, Liang Yueer's expression suddenly changed as if she was watching a play.Anxious on his face, just as he was about to speak, Liu Zhenbei who was on the side spoke first: "Marshal, it is against the military order to attack Honghua City without His Majesty's order. Marshal should think twice."

Long Feiyu waved his hand and said: "The general's military order abroad is not acceptable. Right now is the best time to take down Liang Shidu, who is Zhengliu Shenwuzhu. Besides, the summer harvest will be over soon. If we delay it, we will definitely delay it." The time for the common people to harvest in summer is the best time to take down Master Liang."

Hearing Long Feiyu's explanation, Liu Zhenbei stopped talking, Liu Zhenbei stopped talking, Liang Yue'er just wanted to speak, but she didn't know what to say for a while, she who was originally conceited, in these short few days I have learned a lot, and my father's words turned out to be just encouragement, and I am far behind these generals who are fighting on the battlefield.

When the tent fell silent again, the Turkic prince picked up the letter he had written and said, "Marshal Long, I have written it. When will you let me go?"

Long Feiyu smiled and said: "It's easy to handle. When your father comes to redeem things, that's when you return to Turkic. Someone will take the two Turkic nobles down to serve you well. They can't be allowed to leave the big tent."

"Yes"

Seeing someone carrying the two of them away, Liang Yue'er sarcastically said in order to express her sullen feeling, "Don't you think it's a disgrace for a Tang Dynasty coach to live by threatening the Turkic Khan?"

Long Feiyu stared at Liang Yue'er curiously for a long time, and then said: "Are you okay? This is a war, and I have every reason to kill them after catching them, but I promised to let Jieli send a ransom and leave one for Jieli. For future generations, Xieli should be grateful, and don’t judge yourself when you are a daughter.”

Liang Yue'er snorted angrily and pointed at Long Feiyu: "You..." After a long time, she still couldn't think of a rebuttal, so she just stood aside in embarrassment and stopped talking.

The fourth child beside him licked his face and walked over, explaining with a smile on his face: "Ma'am, don't be angry, our marshal likes to argue with others when he has nothing to do, and you will get used to it after you have been together for a long time. You can listen to what he says Just put it in one ear and come out, don't take it too seriously."
