As time went by, the climate south of Yinshan Mountain became warmer and more pleasant. It was another sunny day with the sun shining brightly, and the exciting sound of drums and horns sounded again in the military camp.
The Turkic prisoners and other Hu tribe personnel distributed in various camps were summoned and led to the front of the Chinese army's tent again. Each of them was anxious and cautiously followed the instructions of the Wei army officers and soldiers, and lined up on the main road in the camp.
Both sides.
Not long after, the sound of galloping horses was heard outside the camp, and a heavily armed Western Wei cavalry took the lead in galloping into the camp from outside the camp gate and went straight to the Chinese army's tent.
Not long after, Tang Gong Li Tai, the leader of the army, slowly walked out of the tent. He was dressed in military uniform, followed by a group of governors of the Western Wei Dynasty. As soon as he arrived outside the tent, he immediately attracted the attention of many surrenders present.
.
In the past few days, a group of surrenders have gradually understood who they were defeated by and why they were attacked. Since most Turkic people have difficulty communicating in Chinese, in order to spread this information, everyone
The prison camp was also equipped with a number of Chileans who were proficient in Chinese and Xianbei.
If we talk about rawness and maturity, then these Chile people who settled in Hetao very early and were educated in Xianbei can be called familiar Hus, while the Turkic captives are raw Hus who have not been educated.
But no matter whether they are fresh or familiar, there should be no one in this camp who does not know the name of Tang Gong. This young and energetic commander-in-chief of the Western Wei Dynasty personally led the army to the fortress, defeated the Turkic army in one battle, and gave the Turks
The painful lessons brought by people are even more profound than that of the heroic emperor from the east and Northern Qi.
In order to show that they were closer to the Western Wei Dynasty and to gain the protection of Tang Gong, those Chile people and Qianjihu who served as translators in various camps also publicized and exaggerated Tang Gong's past achievements, which also gradually made those Turks
Understand what kind of person they provoked.
Today, captives from all camps were summoned here. In order to show their obedience and enlightenment, a group of Hetao barbarians waved their hands and glared, hinting that the captives from each camp should follow their example, bowed deeply to Duke Tang and shouted loudly: "Mighty Duke Tang,"
!Long live Duke Tang!"
Seeing the prisoners praying with uneven movements, the praises were scattered and blunt, and there was no unified standard at all. But only the eagerness to express respect and obedience was so vivid that Li Tai couldn't help but smile.
, waving to the prisoners from the camps on both sides of the camp. When the prisoners saw this, they immediately shouted more excitedly and loudly, making the camp even noisier.
At this moment, another group of troops arrived outside the camp. In addition to the neat troops, horses, armor and staff, the most eye-catching thing in the group was a broken cart pulled by an old ox. In the cart sat an unkempt man with thick beard and hair, kneeling on his back.
, his face was covered up, and he was only wearing a tattered robe made of linen and cowhide. No one present could recognize his identity, and everyone could only guess in their hearts.
"Fortunately, the general waited for his fate and chased to the north of Yinshan Mountain, where he was able to capture the leader of the thief, Mugan Khan alive!"
After He Ruodun, Li Xian and other generals entered the camp, they dismounted from their horses, walked forward, kowtowed to Li Tai and paid homage. They spoke in Chinese, but there were attendants nearby who shouted this again in Xianbei dialect.
At the same time, some soldiers came forward to drag the prisoner off the ox cart and lead him forward.
When all the barbarians present heard this, they all exclaimed in an uproar. The unkempt, shabby image of this man was really far different from the arrogant and arrogant wooden Khan in their previous impressions.
Li Tai knew very well that Zhu Hu was afraid of being strong, and the visual sense allowed people to have the most intuitive feeling of strength, so he had specifically ordered that the prisoners should not be treated deliberately, and that they could even be slightly abused.
Ever since he was captured at Yinshan Mountain Road, Mugan Khan has not received very good treatment. In the past few days, because the personnel here had not been sorted out properly, and for fear that the surrender of the camp would breed any emotions, Mugan Khan was temporarily detained in Gaoque garrison.
, he was escorted back after the business calmed down.
In the past few days, he has not been able to eat and drink, let alone take care of his personal hygiene. This time he entered the camp and was deliberately put on linen rags. Today's Mugan Khan really does not have the slightest trace of the demeanor of a grassland overlord.
Even those different captives are inferior.
"Mugan Khan is a noble person in Huzhong. Even if he has betrayed his alliance and become an enemy, he cannot be humiliated!"
Although this was Li Tai's instruction, at this moment in front of the crowd, he still showed a very generous and decent attitude, stepped forward and directly tore off the tattered clothes covered by the wooden pole Khan.
The robe directly exposed his body covered with bruises and bruises, making the whole person look even more miserable and weak.
Then Li Taicai grabbed a Turkic brocade robe from the side and put it on the wooden pole Khan, and asked someone to use tendons to gather his beard. Only then could he see the face of the wooden pole Khan clearly, and discovered that
Silk objects were stuffed into his mouth to restrict his speech, and he waved his hands to indicate that the restrictions would be lifted.
The wooden-pole Khan Chad showed a look of shame and annoyance when he was free. He looked back and glared at He Ruoden and others who had abused him so much. However, before he could get angry, the guards on both sides held his ribs with the handles of their knives, causing him pain.
Taking a breath of cold air, he understood his situation again. He turned to greet Li Tai in Xianbei dialect and said: "The little chieftain outside the Great Wall has met Tang Gong Li, the Prime Minister. The two countries used to have a good alliance, but due to misunderstanding, they fell out...
"
Li Tai was too lazy to listen to the Mugan Khan's excuse. Instead, he waved his hands to drag up a group of Turkic dignitary prisoners. He pointed at the Mugan Khan and smiled at them and asked: "Come in and take a look, what's going on here?"
Is this a Wooden Khan?"
These Turkic nobles did not suffer much abuse in the camp. They were served with good food and drink for a few days. Although they were a little depressed, they were in good condition. At this time, seeing the miserable appearance of Mugan Khan, they were all
They couldn't help but be greatly moved, and they all prayed and cried out sadly.
When the wooden stick Khan saw this, he immediately shed tears of sorrow. But the most important thing for him at the moment was not to express his feelings to his subordinates, but to communicate effectively with Li Tai and inquire about the situation.
How to get understanding.
Then Li Tai waved his hand again, signaling the soldiers to lead the Turkic dignitaries back to the Chinese army's tent.
This Chinese army's tent is the original Khan's tent, but now the host and guest have changed positions. Li Tai is sitting in the center of the tent where Mugan Khan originally belonged, while Mugan Khan and the prisoners are standing with their heads bowed.
below.
After taking care of his appearance for a while, Mugan Khan regained some of his composure. He stepped forward slightly, put his hands on his chest, bowed deeply, and said in a deep voice: "The great Wei Dynasty and I have been married to Turks for many years, and my father is still here.
When I was in the world, I welcomed and entertained the envoys of Wei in my ministry, and invited the Wei State to marry me. Since I succeeded, I have often sought favors from the Wei State, and led a large army to conquer the Wei State King Qiyang and Otsuka Chief to attack the Eastern Qi Dynasty. I knew that the Tang Princess was in charge of the power of the Wei State.
Afterwards, he sent his envoy Meng Yehu to Chang'an to congratulate him and invite his daughter Tang Gong to marry him to form an alliance. Tang Gong had sent men and gifts before, so why didn't he suddenly come to attack?"
After Li Tai heard this, he sneered twice, raised his finger and pointed at the wooden pole and replied: "Is the Khan confusing right and wrong, or does he not understand the principles of the world? Since you succeeded to the throne, you have repeatedly committed crimes and harmed the interests of the two countries. What shame do you have?"
Do you want to be kind to me? Now I am leading my army to attack. It is not because the Turks hate me, but because you, the Muzhan Khan, are arrogant and willful and violate our laws. If you are not severely punished, the prestige of our great Wei Kingdom will probably no longer exist!"
"Tang Gongjin is the winner. It is difficult for me to resist the punishment of demonstrations, but I don't know what serious crime I have committed!"
After the wooden pole Khan heard this, he asked again.
"You have more than one serious crime. Your father, Ili Khan, once asked for employment in our country. Emperor Wen of our country thought of his sincerity and gave his beloved daughter Princess Changle to you. Since you were appointed, you have been arrogant and failed to serve the mother of the country. This is the first crime!
The two countries had an old oath of alliance, shared the same hatred, and agreed to advance and retreat together. The former had to fulfill its obligation to defeat the thief Qinair and others, but it actually used this as a favor to extract rewards, betrayed its father's alliance, and was a great breach of filial piety. This is the second crime!
The late Duke An of our country made it his life's great wish to defeat the thieves. Although he was suffering from illness, he still went to the battle heroically. All the soldiers in the country fought against the thieves. In the name of allies, you patrolled outside Beishan and did not dare to attack Jinyang.
As a result, the official work of An Ding failed and he died outside. This is the third crime!
There are traitors and ministers in our country who rebelled against the emperor and father and caused chaos in the country. The reason for their crime was that they wanted to form alliances with Turks to invade the country. Before the civil strife was over, you sent envoys into the country to use force and extortion. You wanted to take advantage of the crisis in our country to coerce us to cede territory and bribe people.
, is this an attitude of seeking an alliance? I don’t want to harm my former alliance, so I spent all my money to make a good alliance, but you are so greedy that you can’t leave. This is the fourth sin!
Chilechuan is a fertile wilderness. All tribes used to make a living here. My king taught his people to make a living here. They have never dared to make a grudge against Mobei. Your disciples have repeatedly committed violence here, causing the people here to feel uneasy. This is the fifth crime.
…”
Li Tai had already thought about how to deal with Wooden Khan Khan. Now he listed his crimes and kept talking. In the end, he pointed at Wooden Khan whose face became increasingly ugly and said angrily:
"Your father was a son-in-law in our country. Now that he is dead and the country is alive, his heirs have fallen into disgrace. It is my responsibility to bring order to the country. Although you are the lord of a foreign country, you have invaded our land and captured our country's soldiers. I will also decide to do so."
No mercy! Punishment for multiple crimes, death is not a pity!"
Due to language communication barriers, all the Turkic dignitaries present received the message differently. After Li Tai finished speaking, some of the Turkic dignitaries who were the first to react suddenly changed their expressions and shouted hurriedly: "
Duke Tang, please calm down! Duke Tang, please spare your life!"
But Li Tai turned a deaf ear to this, and just pointed at these people and said in a deep voice: "You and other disciples are also guilty of failing to assist Khan in his path. Only Ili Khan's achievements still need to be inherited. The disciples of Liu'er elected a new
Khan assists him. If you feel that your sins are serious and you are willing to share the sins with Mugan Khan, I will not hesitate to give you death!"
