In this process, the defeated party needs to donate all their property to the victorious party.
However, Li Jing did not ask for their property and invited them to talk to the Golden Wolf tent.
Suddenly, Ge Shuhan and the chief of the Pugu tribe, who were ready to watch Li Jing kill their tribesmen and humiliate themselves, breathed a sigh of relief.
Ge Shuhan even praised Li Jing with a smile, "The Tang Dynasty is worthy of being a country of etiquette, and General Li is worthy of being the commander-in-chief of the Tang Dynasty. He is indeed not comparable to us."
The corner of Li Jing's mouth twitched.
If you don’t know how to praise others, then don’t praise them, okay?
Do you really think I don’t want to kill anyone?
I actually want to.
But I can't kill, because you are more numerous than us. Before I collect your weapons, if I go on a killing spree, why don't you immediately rebel against me?
It is not in compliance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty regarding the treatment of prisoners before I kill you after I have confiscated your weapons.
If there is a mass killing, if Xue, Yu Zhining and others find out about it, why don't they impeach me to death?
Now they are happier to see you Turks than to see their own mothers and fathers.
You are all the hard work they have been waiting for and thinking about.
"Let's talk inside the Golden Wolf's tent."
Li Jing smiled dryly and said that he really didn't want to listen to Brother Shuhan's flattery, which was embarrassing.
Ge Shuhan nodded obediently, as if he was trying to lead the way for Li Jing.
On the other hand, the chief of the Pugu tribe hesitated for a moment and looked at the young Xin Ke Dun who fell in despair in front of the golden wolf tent without making any move.
Seeing this, Li Jing smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will treat her with courtesy."
No matter how you say it, this little girl is still Jieli's first wife and a Turkic Ketun.
Datang would not neglect her, and would treat her with courtesy and give her treatment in line with her status.
This is the creed that Datang, a country of etiquette, has always adhered to.
The only person who can deprive the princes, grandsons, queens and concubines of other countries of their status, as well as all their treatment, is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, His Highness King Yong of the Tang Dynasty can do it too.
Because he is not a simple prince.
"Thank you, General Li."
The chief of Pugu tribe solemnly saluted Li Jing.
Li Jing nodded, and under the guidance of Ge Shuhan, entered Jie Li's Golden Wolf Tent.
This tent, which symbolizes the power of the Turkic kings and can only be lived in by the khans respected by all Turkic tribes, now welcomes a Tang Dynasty man.
After Li Jing entered the Golden Wolf Tent, he looked around and gave a glowing evaluation.
The decoration inside the tent is very luxurious, and there are countless rare treasures, and there are also many treasures that clearly have the unique color of the Han family.
It's a pity that the owner of the tent didn't know how to arrange it, so he piled all kinds of rare treasures in a mess, which was not beautiful at all, but rather vulgar.
"It's a cluster of flowers, it's a cluster of flowers..."
Ge Shuhan couldn't figure out whether Li Jing was a compliment or a derogatory term, but he still agreed.
After Li Jing walked around the tent, he moved the precious couch where Jie Li had been sitting, pulled out a blanket and sat down. He also invited Ge Shuhan and the chief of the Pugu tribe to sit down, and discussed with them what to do next.
The problem of resettling them and their people.
Li Jing gave them two choices, one was to take all the tribesmen with him to Lingzhou to meet His Highness King Yong, the other was to stay here and wait for the Tang Dynasty to send people to receive them.
Li Jing did not say who would take over the people who stayed here.
Ge Shuhan and the chief of the Pugu tribe made a decision after weighing it for a long time.
Ge Shuhan wanted to follow Li Jing back to Lingzhou, while the chief of Pugu tribe wanted to stay here and wait for the Tang Dynasty to send someone to take him over.
This surprised Li Jing.
Li Jing originally thought that the chief of Pugu tribe was the one willing to leave, but Ge Shuhan would stay.
After all, this place is the territory of the Geshu tribe. Logically speaking, the Geshu tribe should prefer to stay here.
But their choices were completely opposite.
What does this mean?
This shows that this place is just that for Geshube, and it is not that difficult to leave. Geshube can leave at any time.
It also shows that although the Pugu tribe surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, they did not really surrender to the Tang Dynasty. They were dormant, waiting, waiting for a new hero to appear and lead them to restore the glory of the Turks.
However, although Li Jing saw this, he didn't say anything.
It is impossible to expect a tribe, or a tribe from other forces, to return to you immediately after it falls to you.
Since they have openly succumbed to the Tang Dynasty and are willing to cooperate with the Tang Dynasty in recruiting and surrendering, then the Tang Dynasty has no reason to yell at them anymore.
As for what people were thinking, he knew it in his heart, and it would be enough to tell Li Yuanji when he went back.
How Li Yuanji will decide is Li Yuanji's business, and it is not his turn to intervene.
"Then it's settled. Chief Geshu will take his people, all the horses here, and most of the cattle and sheep with me back to Lingzhou, while Chief Pugu will stay here with his people."
Li Jing made such a decision after fully understanding the thoughts of Ge Shuhan and the chief of Pugu tribe.
He did not leave any horses for the Pugu tribe, but only left some cattle and sheep that were enough for them to eat, and asked them to wait for the Tang Dynasty's arrangements for them again.
He will also leave a team of 300 Xuanjia troops to guard here and take care of all the people in the Pugu tribe.
Ge Shuhan and the chief of Pugu tribe were not dissatisfied with Li Jing's arrangements.
They had long been prepared for everything to be confiscated by Li Jing. Before entering the tent, Li Jing didn't mention it. They thought they could keep their property, but the final facts told them that they just wanted to
too much.
They had already prepared in their hearts. What Li Jing did did not achieve the worst result they expected, so there was nothing they could not accept.
In their opinion, Li Jing was very kind to them without going on a killing spree after he surrendered them.
However, it is impossible to expect them to remember Li Jing well in their hearts.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It would be nice if they didn’t scold Li Jing in their hearts for being ignorant, not understanding the rules on the grassland, and being a fool.
"Commander, we have found Captain Duan and Wang Canjun."
Just when Li Jing was almost done discussing with Ge Shuhan and the chief of Pugu tribe, Li Keshi went into the Golden Wolf tent to report.
Li Jing was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "They are still alive? How many are left?"
It's not that Li Jingrong doesn't like Duan Xiaowei and Wang Fuju, but Li Jing is rather shocked that Duan Xiaowei, Wang Fuju and others can survive to this day.
After all, the military mission undertaken by Duan Xiaowei and Wang Fuju was a near-death military mission, and the possibility of surviving was extremely slim.
So it's a bit surprising that they are still alive.
Master Li said solemnly: "There are still more than thirty people left..."
There were more than 1,200 people, and only more than 30 people were left in the end. This shows how tragic the war experienced by Duan Xiaowei, Wang Fujue and others.
Their battle losses were no different from the annihilation of the entire army.
In the army, if the battle loss reaches 40%, it is considered a heavy loss; if it exceeds 40%, a victory is still a partial victory.
It's over 60%, and even if I win, I'm embarrassed to say I won.
Therefore, on most battlefields, once the battle losses exceed 40%, the general leading the army will ask to retreat.
"Let people search for the remains of the fallen soldiers, collect the nameplates around their necks, and hand them to the Army Sima, who will approve their meritorious deeds and report them to Lingzhou."
Li Jing said with a long sigh.
As for how to dispose of the remains of the soldiers after collecting them, he did not explain, but Master Li knew how to dispose of them.
That is to bury it on the spot.
It is impossible to take them back, because it may be thousands of miles away from here to Lingzhou and then to the hometowns of those soldiers. Their remains may stink when they are transported back, and they may easily cause plague, so
It can only be buried on the spot.
As for cremation, take the ashes back.
Go and try it. Do you believe that other people’s family members will fight against you if they find out?
In this era, it was important to keep the whole body intact.
Destroying human remains is no different than destroying human lives.
Burning someone is equivalent to crushing their bones and scattering their ashes.
If someone knows about their family records, it would be strange if they don't fight with you.
Therefore, burying the remains on site is the best option.
In the past, when soldiers didn't have nameplates, when a person died, all he could bring back was the last sentence, or a cold line of text on a document.
Now I can more or less take something personal with me back home, and leave a memory behind, so that I don’t get nothing.
"By the way, I summon Captain Duan and Wang Canjun to come here to see me."
Li Jing gave another instruction when Master Li was about to leave.
Master Li agreed and left the Golden Wolf Tent.
Not long after, Duan Xiaowei and Wang Fuji, dragging their bodies with scars, appeared in the Golden Wolf tent.
Wang Fuji was okay. Apart from two arrow wounds and one knife wound, he had no other injuries.
Colonel Duan was injured in many places, even a few fingers were missing, and his face was deeply scratched by an arrow.
Li Jing was stunned when he saw Captain Duan was seriously injured, but didn't say anything more.
In the army, when the commander-in-chief summons you, without any explanation, even if you are seriously injured, even if you have only one breath left, you still have to rush to the commander-in-chief to greet him.
And there is no shortage of people in the army who are eager to show their merits to the commander-in-chief and who are miserable in front of the commander-in-chief.
Therefore, there are many people in the army who come to see the commander with serious injuries.
Li Jing was already used to it.
"You have completed your important task very well this time. I will ask the Army Sima to hand over your achievements to His Highness King Yong. I believe His Highness King Yong will not treat you badly."
Li Jing said slowly.
Captain Duan bowed and said, "Thank you so much, Commander!"
Li Jing nodded, looked at Wang Fuji and said, "You need to stay here and cooperate with the Xuanjia Army to protect the Pugu tribe and prevent them from being violated by other tribes.
His Highness King Yong should send someone to tell you when to leave specifically."
Wang Fuji understood and agreed.
Li Jing said that he was asked to stay and protect the Pugu Department, but in fact, he was asked to guard the Pugu Department.
He had some guesses as to why he was allowed to stay.
I think it must be related to Ashina Simo in Mobei.
