Chapter 1024 Guo Xiaoke

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

As for cannibalism...

Ashnabil might dare to give such an order, but he would never be able to do so 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 delicacies on weekdays. Therefore, he has never experienced the kind of life that slaves at the lowest level live. 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 flew by and five days passed.

After the horses brought into the ravine were eaten, Ashnapil 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 kind of work style of brushing off the clothes and hiding the merits 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 my Suni lost tribe, and ask them to 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, I 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 tribes and what they will do to Suni's missing tribes 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 verdict against him and his tribe.

Ashinabil took the initiative to be sent back to Chang'an City and sneaked to the Ancestral Temple 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 Ma Jizhong took Ashinabil and his tribe away, Xue Wanche made a disgusting comment on Ma Jizhong.

Li Yuanji glanced at Xue Wanche and said funnyly: "Do you think it's you who is the one?"

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

With so much capital, let alone a capable person, even a pig that can't do anything can take off.

This is the difference between people.

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

"What's wrong, minister?"

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 puzzled 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 the superiors in this era rely on inequality and unfairness to stand over everyone. If you talk about equality and fairness, you are digging at your own roots.

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

And it is almost difficult for people who are hated by themselves and other superiors to survive in this era.

So people have to follow the crowd, and you have to be what the crowd looks like. If you go against the crowd, you will definitely be beaten to death by the crowd.

"You're fine!"

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



After Li Shimin had enough rest, Li Yuanji ordered his troops 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 the lost tribes of Suni.

.

Su Dingfang, Li Jing, and Ashina Simo received help from Ashina Biel's "will". 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 80,000, the number of accounts under his command also exceeded 120,000, 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 surrendered four tribes that had lost their tribes in Suni.

Su Dingfang was even less, and only one was surrendered.

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.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! They even wiped out two tribes that lost their tribes in Suni.

After Li Shimin read the battle report they returned from the east, he 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 two others over. I personally suggest that Zhang Liang and Qiu Xinggong be transferred over."

Li Yuanji did not 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.

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

After all, both the Xue brothers and Qiu Xinggong came from a family of generals, and they were more or less particular. However, Zhang Liang came from a poor family, so he was not so particular.

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 man who dares to accept more than five hundred adopted sons.

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

The Xue brothers have become well-known 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 do not 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, some people will always play the good side and some will 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 you to the death.

So combining red and white is the best.

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

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

When Qiu He was the Minister of the Ministry of War in Daxingtai, Hebei Province, he was in Cao Ying and his heart was in the Han Dynasty. 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, so Li Yuanji didn't have to worry about the people who didn't use the Qiu family being available in the future.

"What do you think of Guo Jing?"

Li Yuanji suddenly asked.

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 Zhai County in Yangzhou. 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, it was not until the Zhenguan period that he started to prosper again, but his contribution was not as great as those who became prosperous 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.
