In the blink of an eye, Li Jing had already captured Qikou for some time. Counting the days, the spring plowing in the Central Plains was almost over.
However, spring has returned to the Central Plains, but there is still no sign of warmth in Qikou.
The cold wind is still howling in the sky here, and even a burst of snow will fall from time to time, which makes people wonder if God has slept for too long, so that he miscalculated the days and mistakenly mistaken spring for winter.
Li Jing had already left. After taking care of the prisoners of war and livestock in Qikou, he pursued Jie Li non-stop along his escape route.
In addition to Li Jing, others such as Chai Shao, Xue Wanche and others also moved towards the west at this time. In Qikou, which was originally bustling with activity, only Xiao Han and Tang Jian were left to take charge of the aftermath.
However, even though they said they were dealing with the aftermath, they actually stayed to watch the door, but it was still an empty door!
The 100,000 prisoners of war who once crowded the camp were released!
I remember that when Xiao Han heard the news, he felt it was very incredible and even went to Li Jing angrily!
A person who spent so much effort to catch him was let go so easily?
However, Li Jing just glanced at him and then asked a few questions casually. Xiao Han choked and rolled his eyes, unable to say a word.
"Don't let them go? Do you want to kill them all?"
"Kill...that won't work! But we can take them back and do labor reform, which means helping with road construction and mining. How great would that be?!"
"Well, it's quite good! But it's more than a month's journey from the nearest Shuofang. How can you feed 100,000 people in this month?"
"I……"
Xiao Han was speechless! This is 100,000 people! Not ten people! He can't afford to provide so many people with water, let alone food!
Therefore, Xiao Han could only grind his teeth and watch the Turks who were let go disappear from his eyes with joy.
"Hey, before I came here, why did I forget that there is such a profitable business as slave trading in this world?! You are careless, you are careless!"
Xiao Han, who thought he had suffered a big loss, was so angry that he even had a huge fire tumor on his cheek. Whenever he ate, the pain would be as painful as an electric shock, and it would twitch.
If you have a fire tumor, you can't eat mutton. It's already hot and hot. If you continue to eat it, your "handsome and handsome" face may become useless.
So Xiao Han had no choice but to cover his cheeks and go to the grassland outside to see if there were any wild vegetables that could supplement vitamins.
"Hey, what a wretched place, it's all grass! I'm not a sheep, I can't even dig up a wild vegetable!"
On a grassland that had just turned green, Xiao Han looked up to the sky and sighed, what kind of world is this, where even eating a green vegetable is a luxury?
"Master Marquis, let me tell you, why don't we go back? It's too boring to stay here!" As Xiao Han's number one henchman, Xiaodong felt that he had an obligation to persuade Xiao Han to return to the warm and comfortable Chang'an instead of here.
I feel so hairy all over my body.
"Go back?" When Xiao Han heard Xiaodong's words, he kicked a stone off the ground and said angrily: "We agreed when we came out that we would wait until Jie Li was killed before going back! But now this
How can we go back if I can't even find my hair when I run away?"
"But didn't Tang Gong say that all the chiefs who originally surrendered to Jieli have surrendered these days? The Turks are finished, and Jieli is the only one left who can't afford to make any trouble..."
Xiaodong looked at Xiao Han with some confusion. Based on his thinking: If the battle reaches this point, it is a great victory! Since we have won, why are we wasting our time here if we don't return to the court?
"madness!"
Xiao Han waited for Xiaodong to finish speaking, then turned around and glared at him fiercely: "Don't you understand the principle of cutting off the grass and eradicating the roots? Besides, can those chiefs who are just like grass on the wall be trusted? They are all a bunch of white-eyed people who have breasts and are mothers.
Wolf!
Today our fists are big, and they all rush around us. But tomorrow, if our fists are small, believe it or not, these beasts will immediately turn around and tear off a piece of flesh from our body!"
"Are you saying they will still rebel?" Xiaodong shrank in response to Xiao Han's glare, but still didn't believe what he said.
Because since the victory over the Turks, the entire army from top to bottom looks like the King of Heaven and I are the first and I am the second! Even when walking, the nostrils are turned up in the sky, which makes people worry about whether they will get drunk on snowy days.
A mouthful of water!
In comparison, the Turkic people I see these days are basically like eggplants beaten by frost. When I see Tang people on weekdays, they always bend down and lower their heads to get around. Even the Turkic general Kang Sumi, this
I was trained like a grandson by my Lord Marquis for two days! Is this a group of people who would rebel? Do they dare to rebel?
"Not rebellious? Do you think they are really loyal dogs?" Xiao Han rolled his eyes at him angrily.
As a descendant, no one knows the habits of these grassland aliens better than him! These people are just like a bunch of white-eyed wolves, and they are not familiar with them at all!
Historically, the Turks were destroyed by Li Shimin and his son!
But it didn’t take many years for them to use Wu Zetian to restore the country again! Not only did they not feel grateful for the good things of the Tang Dynasty, but they also jumped around the Tang Dynasty as always, which made people hate it! They wanted to grab her and slap her with a big mouth.
die!
"The grass on the Lili Plain dries up and grows every year. Wildfires cannot burn it out, but the spring breeze blows and grows again..."
Thinking about the historical struggle between the Central Plains regime and the alien races on the grasslands, Xiao Han couldn't help but think of Bai Juyi's famous grassland poem!
Since ancient times, haven't the grassland peoples been just like these weeds, growing one after another and never getting rid of them?
"Good poem, good poem!"
After reading a poem that was filled with helplessness, someone suddenly applauded behind him.
"Tang Gong, why are you here!" Hearing this voice, Xiao Han knew without turning around that the person coming must be Tang Jian!
Because if Liu Er and others were replaced, they probably wouldn't shout anything else besides "so wet"!
"Haha, if I hadn't come, I wouldn't have heard such a poem!" Tang Jian clapped his hands and laughed. He originally just wanted to come to Xiao Han to talk about something, but who knew he would overhear such a good poem?
It's better to come early than to come by chance.
"What's the name of this poem?" Tang Jian came up to Xiao Han and asked with eyes shining.
"No name!" Xiao Han irritably crushed the grass under his feet and said in a muffled voice, "You came to see me for something?"
"Why, I can't come to you if I have nothing to do?"
Tang Jian rolled his eyes at Xiao Han, and then saw Xiao Han staring at him suspiciously, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, took out an imperial edict from his arms and said: "Okay, something happened! Your Majesty is going to recruit me back, and I guess you will too.
