The killing intent in Qin Huaidao's eyes was like a burning yurt.
The tribal leader felt a terrifying killing intent coming towards him, his scalp was numb, and he quickly said: "As long as you treat my tribe people well and let us live, you will never rebel again. The environment here is harsh and life is not easy.
Everything is just to survive.”
"This is the truth. In order to survive and reproduce, you will do anything you can. This is understandable. However, you should not go to the Tang Dynasty to clear grass and valleys, kill the people of the Tang Dynasty, rob the Tang Dynasty, and burn down the Tang Dynasty just to survive.
Houses, even children are not spared, and men are taken as slaves to do the heaviest work. Women are taken to give birth, but they are not given any dignity. How do you think I should retaliate?" Qin Huaidao said coldly.
"Isn't this... how it has been for thousands of years? If we don't thresh grass and grain, and don't plunder, the tribe won't be able to survive, and there's nothing we can do about it," the other party said with a grimace.
"In order to survive, you robbed the Tang State. So in order to survive, I killed you and robbed you. Is it natural and right?" Qin Huaidao's tone became colder and colder.
"This...please spare your life, we are willing to be slaves." The other party got off his horse, threw himself on the ground, and saluted.
This is a begging gesture on the grassland, which represents surrender.
Qin Huaidao thought for a while and said: "From now on, you are my slaves. Adult men will serve as soldiers. Those who kill five enemies will be freed and receive the same treatment as my soldiers. Adult women will either be incorporated into the medical corps or into the medical corps."
The logistics are responsible for cooking, raising livestock, etc. You can also regain your freedom after performing meritorious services. The specific measures will be listed in detail later. Please follow them. Do you have any comments? "
"No, everything is entirely up to the adults," the other party said quickly.
"It's not the best, it doesn't matter if there is, the worst is to kill them all." Qin Huaidao continued to beat, glanced around with cold eyes, and asked what came to mind: "Get up and answer, how many slaves of the Tang Dynasty are there in the begging tribe?".
Knowing that he had escaped disaster, the other party quickly got up and said, "Sir, there are still about a thousand male slaves and about 800 female slaves. They are all rewards given by King Qiemo over the years."
"They were snatched from the grass valley, right?" Qin Huaidao said coldly.
The other party's face froze and he did not dare to answer the conversation.
Qin Huaidao's eyes were like daggers, and he continued to ask: "There are Turks who went deep into the territory of the Tang Dynasty and kidnapped a woman. Have you heard about this? Tell me the truth."
"I've heard of it, I've heard of it..."
"Where is he?" Qin Huaidao's eyes narrowed and his breathing became rapid. Finally, there was news.
Luo Ying also locked eyes with him instantly and his eyes lit up.
The other party sensed the hurried attitude of the two people and guessed something, but he did not dare to neglect and said quickly: "In Qiemo City, Prince Qiemo personally took five hundred elites from the kingdom to the Tang Kingdom to arrest people. The specific reason is unknown, but I heard that
When I returned to Qiemo City, there were less than a hundred people with me."
"Qiemo City?" Qin Huaidao was overjoyed and quickly took out the map to check.
The Turks honor Khan Yibishaboloyehu, the Ashina tribe, and the Khan is called Ashina Bobu. He builds Yasui to the north of the water, and his jurisdiction is bounded by the Ile River in the east, and the Western Region is thirty-six
The capitals of the countries were controlled by Turks, including Qiuci, Dushan, Qiemo, Tocharo, Yanqi, Shiguo, Shiguo, Heguo, Muguo, Kangguo, etc.
To the south of the Loulan Kingdom and along the Qiemo River is the Qiemo Kingdom.
Although the Kingdom of Loulan perished, the Kingdom of Qiemo still exists.
Qin Huaidao's eyes fell on the location of Qiemo City, and he looked at the surrounding tribes, large and small, guarding the royal city. It was difficult to infiltrate and rescue people, and even if he rescued people, it was difficult to evacuate. No wonder Xue Rengui failed to succeed for so long. It seemed that the only option was to press the border with a large army and force the handover.
People, this means that a large number of soldiers and horses are needed.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, Qin Huaidao looked at Luo Ying: "Send someone back to report the news, and ask Li Yixie to bring people over tomorrow morning to move all the tribe here."
"Follow the order!" Luo Ying quickly agreed and sent someone to deliver the message.
Qin Huaidao looked at the burning yurts. It was too late to put out the fire. Fortunately, the yurts were all arranged independently. If one burned, it would not affect the next one. Half of the yurts survived. The begging tribe had lost a lot of people in this battle, so it could be crowded.
, his eyes fell on several large yurts and asked: "Over there?"
"That's the tribal tooth tent." The other party said quickly.
The Yazhang is where the tribal leaders live and discuss matters, similar to a government office. At this time, Luo Tong's excited laughter came from behind: "Hahaha, it's so good, this battle is so good, brother, our army has lost a lot, we have to make up for it.
."
"How many casualties are there?" Qin Huaidao looked at Luo Tong who came over in a hurry.
"Two to three hundred people were worried about something happening here, so they rushed here in a hurry. They didn't have time to count, but they didn't expect that they had already won. If I had known, there would be no need to be in such a hurry." Luo Tong said with emotion.
The total losses on both sides were four to five hundred people, but they captured a medium-sized tribe. Such a loss was bearable. Qin Huaidao's eyes fell on the prisoners and said in a deep voice: "Nearly a thousand adult men, all of them will be incorporated into your regiment to form a reinforced regiment, but
Be careful."
Luo Tong looked at the prisoners and instantly understood what Qin Huaidao was worried about, and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, I will kill anyone who dares to mess around. Give me one night and make sure everyone is submissive."
"Okay, go ahead, remember to have the bodies of those who died in the battle be brought back and registered." Qin Huaidao warned, planning to arrange the pension issue after he is free to win people's hearts. If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it.
Very good feed.
"Gather all the tribe's women, children, elders and children, let them bury the bodies, and then count the loot." Qin Huaidao said and looked at Luo Ying.
Luo Ying nodded and acted quickly.
"Let's go to the Yazhang." Qin Huaidao looked at the tribal leader.
The other party quickly agreed and led the way.
Zhao Long came with the guards battalion and guarded Qin Huaidao, staring at the surroundings vigilantly. Although he had won the battle, he was not careless. A cold arrow could kill someone.
After successfully arriving near the dental tent, Zhao Long led people to search each room to make sure it was safe.
After that, Qin Huaidao followed to the largest tent in the middle. There was a small bonfire burning inside. A lamb leg was roasting on the bonfire, sizzling with oil. The floor was covered with wool blankets, which were soft and comfortable.
There were few boxes. When I opened them, I saw that they were all gold and silver jewelry with writing on them. At first glance, I thought they had been stolen.
"You're quite rich. You got it from the straw, right?" Qin Huaidao said in a cold tone.
The tribal leader's face changed drastically and he did not dare to answer the question.
"Sit down, let me ask you something. As long as you cooperate well, I won't kill you." Qin Huaidao sat down by the campfire, cut off a piece of meat with a knife and threw it into his mouth to chew. After the other party sat down nervously, he continued to ask: "Seven
There are seven tribes in the village. How many capable warriors are there in each one?"
"Among the seven tribes, beggars are the largest and the richest. The remaining six tribes have no more than 4,000 warriors. As for the food in their tribes, they can barely survive."
Qin Huaidao quickly calculated in his mind that one tribe had 4,000 people, and six tribes were 24,000. He still couldn't fight against it. He had to eliminate them one by one to expand his strength. He took out a piece of white paper, spread it out, sharpened it with charcoal, and asked carefully
Draw the nearby terrain while drawing it.
Half an hour later, a detailed map appeared on the paper.
With the map in hand, many things will be easier to handle. Qin Huaidao showed the locations of the other six tribes on the map, observed them for a while, and then continued to interrogate the combat effectiveness of the other tribes when he was confident.
Only when you know yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.
The six tribes are widely dispersed, and they are all fifty or sixty miles away recently. They rush to the Qitun City from the begging and buying tribes. There is a small tribe in the middle with about 3,000 soldiers. Qitun City is an earth city jointly managed by the seven tribes.
There was a coalition of 700 men, with 100 troops from each tribe.
Tucheng covers a small area, with a large market for trading, a commercial street for selling goods, restaurants, inns and a military camp for caravans.
Qin Huaidao's eyes fell on Qitun City. The small tribe that the Begging Department passed by had only 4,000 soldiers. It was not difficult to capture it. If Qitun City was taken, he would have control of it. Even if his reputation was gained, he would not only be able to fight with
The brothers who came to join together could also attract Xue Rengui to come.
Saving people is no small matter. Once the news leaks out and King Qie Mo takes hostages, he will fall into a passive position. Infiltration is possible, but the language barrier and appearance are different, and the past will be exposed. The only way is to find a reason to invade in the name of bandits and rob
The reason for the territory is good, and it won't affect He'er.
There is another advantage to capturing Qitun. Qitun is located in the easternmost position of the Qiemo Kingdom and is the only place to go to the Tang Dynasty. If you can control it, even if the rescue is in a stalemate and the war is unfavorable, you can still mobilize resources from Chang'an to support you.
.
As a general, you should seek defeat before you win!
Qin Huaidao frowned and thought, and gradually made a decision.
When the tribe leader saw Qin Huaidao being silent, he was inexplicably nervous and did not dare to move. He waited patiently. Thinking of the future of the tribe, he felt sad and felt a bit regretful. If he had known this, why did he do it in the first place? It was all retribution.
