"Great, wise and heroic master, your servant Bale sends you greetings..."
When Tian Jian had just woken up and was about to get up and clean the dormitory of his mentor (so he thought) Yi Zong.
He was shocked to find that in front of his bed, there were several Yi Di kneeling with fawning expressions and smiles on their faces.
These barbarians all had their braids shaved off the backs of their heads, leaving only short hair, which looked very ridiculous. Coupled with their round faces that were full of scars, but they were constantly acting cute and fawning, and their weird and blunt Chinese.
All of this has become extremely funny.
Tian Jian snorted coldly.
He will never forget the day when his two uncles, whom he regarded as elders and family members, risked their lives for him.
Even more will not be forgotten.
My father died in the battle at Wuzhou Fortress!
Therefore, he had no good impression of these barbarians at all. If possible, he would even want to draw his sword and kill these barbarians.
It's a pity that he can't...
Although these Yi and Di prisoners kneeling before him were humiliated by the Han army, the braids on the back of their heads were shaved off, leaving only short hair.
This is a humiliating punishment comparable to castration in China.
In fact, many scholar-bureaucrats would rather have their penises cut off than be subjected to such a punishment.
Because this is the punishment imposed on the most dangerous elements and the most shameful prisoners in Guixin City.
It is the highest level of punishment that insults a person and his family.
Just tell everyone - this is how a bastard bastard behaves.
But the funny thing is that among the Huns captives, those who could be subjected to this kind of punishment were at least nobles above the household level.
You are a bastard, and you are not worth being insulted.
Their fate was destined to be shackled for the rest of their lives, working with dwarfs in various pastures of Taipu Yamen, herding cattle for the Han army.
In other words, only senior nobles above the household level could be targeted for humiliation by the Han army.
In fact, Tian Jian felt that punishments such as Kunxing were of little use to these barbarians.
It's better to simply cut off the penis, which would be more direct.
But it's a pity that this kind of thing is not something that a young man like him can decide.
Thinking of the tasks assigned by his 'mentor' yesterday, Tian Jian's mood became slightly better.
He grimaced and said: "Today's task is still to bury the body. You all should be careful and supervise the slaves' hard work!"
The Hun prisoners kneeling in front of him were nothing like the crazy, cold-blooded and cruel Zhelan nobles in the legend.
Like the most docile lambs, they kowtowed deeply. To Tian Jian, a young man who was not even in the ranks of the Han army and did not even have a title or position, they kowtowed with the highest etiquette on the grassland. Even the nobleman at the head,
He also kissed the ground at Tian Jian's feet disgustingly and said: "Great, wise and heroic master. Your order is Bale's mission!"
Although the others were not so excessive, they were all respectful, like sheepdogs guarding their master, saying: "As you command, master!"
This made Tian Jian a little hard to understand.
Even the few Han soldiers in the tent who were ordered to protect Tian Jian from being poisoned by the Yi Di looked at each other.
They simply could not connect these Zhelan nobles, who were like lambs and loyal dogs, with the crazy and perverted Zhelan cavalry whom they remembered from their elders, who looked down upon death and would find someone to hold him back even if he fell off his horse.
However, this is exactly the way of life of the grassland nomads.
The winner decides everything!
The loser will dedicate everything to the winner as a matter of course.
Including life, dignity, personality, wives and concubines, property and courage.
Although the Zhelan tribe is crazy, it will also abide by this law.
Especially Bale.
He was the first Zhelan noble to take the lead in surrender.
Before the surrender, he hated the Han Dynasty, and after the surrender, his sense of belonging and surrender to the Han Dynasty was profound.
Tian Jian may not know.
If we follow the original historical trajectory, more than twenty years later, Huo Qubing, a prodigy of the generation, faced a crazy attack by the Xiongnu’s two trump cards, the Zhelan and Ruolu tribes, at the foot of Gaolan Mountain.
After the Hussars fought bloody battles and annihilated the Huns' Zhelan and Lu Hou troops, the Hussar prisoners of war all became the effective force of the Hussars army. They turned their guns and pointed them at their old masters, fighting harder than the real ones.
The Han army was even more crazy.
Similarly, Wei Lu and Zhao Xin, who were originally Han generals, after surrendering to the Huns, started to attack their homeland and their former comrades, and they were even more crazy, cruel and cold-blooded than the Huns.
For any group of traitors, they must prove in front of their new masters that they have made a clean break with the past and have devoted everything they have to the new masters.
Therefore, whether in the East or the West, in the past, present, or future, those who are more vicious than the Japanese must be the Japanese.
What's more, the Han army completely defeated the Zhelan tribe in a frontal hand-to-hand charge and hand-to-hand combat with real swords and guns.
The extremely powerful breastplate charge, like a god coming down from the earth, completely destroyed all the pride and confidence of the Zhelan people and crushed them to pieces.
Under such circumstances, a change that no one in the Han Dynasty could have imagined has actually happened in the hearts of most Zhelan prisoners.
When these crazy, cold-blooded and cruel Zhelan cavalry encounter stronger forces, their crazy cruelty will transform into a trembling physique.
Just like decades ago, their ancestors offered their loyalty under Maodun's army, and from then on they devoted themselves to the Huns Empire with all their heart and soul.
Nowadays, almost all Zhelan prisoners have accepted in their hearts that their master is from the Han Dynasty.
As for the tribes on the grassland, once they accept that their master is XX, they will become a strange group that is unimaginable.
The so-called master has abused me thousands of times, but I treat him like my first love.
Just like all the tribes that were conquered by powerful force in history before and after.
Now the Zhelan people have completely become loyal slaves of the Han Dynasty.
As long as the Han Dynasty can continue to be strong, they will fight for the Han Dynasty wholeheartedly just like they served the Huns before.
It's a pity that the Central Plains civilization and the grassland civilization are two different civilizations.
Therefore, few Han soldiers could understand the thoughts of nomadic tribes.
Therefore, the charming looks of these noble captives were actually thrown to the blind man.
However, this kind of situation is also common on the grassland.
The nobles of Zhelan are still unyielding, like young girls in love, trying their best to reveal their thoughts and intentions in words and actions.
Especially Bale.
As one of the few nobles in the Zhelan tribe who can understand some Chinese culture.
He was also the first Zhelan noble to take the lead in surrender.
The advantage he has over other prisoners is that he knows the identity of the young man in front of him.
The commander-in-chief of the Han army, the big shot who commanded the god-like cavalry, the brother-in-law of the God King of the Han Dynasty in Chang'an City, the 'suspected disciple' of Dongchenghou Yizong. It is equivalent to a certain chief among the grassland tribes.
The same as the quasi-heir.
Of course, Bale knew that it was impossible for him to be a slave or lackey for such a big shot and nobleman.
However, it would be great if you could become this young man’s slave!
You know, on the grassland, slaves are also divided into classes.
Shanyu's slaves are N times more advanced than other slaves.
The status of personal servants of some big shots is even higher than that of many nobles.
So, at this moment, Bale really wanted to kneel in front of Tian Jian, cut out his heart and show him, and tell him - great master, please accept the humble loyalty and dedication of your slave!
Unfortunately, he couldn't do it.
So I had no choice but to use the most common standards on the grassland to express my wishes.
Now, even if Tian Jian asks him to eat Xiang, he will run to the ground and lick it clean without looking back.
"How is King Zhelan?" Tian Jian stood up and put on his clothes and asked.
"The great, wise, wise and extraordinarily heroic master..." Bale immediately acted like a pug, smiling desperately and saying, "Although that stupid slave had his arm cut off by the sacred heavenly soldiers of the Han Dynasty, his life is good.
, the injury is not serious, the doctors said he should survive!"
"Yeah!" Tian Jian nodded.
Three days ago, the Han army's breastplate charge smashed Zhelan's headquarters banner in one fell swoop.
This led to the collapse of the entire Zhelan tribe.
However, King Zhelan had a good life.
Miraculously, he did not die in the Cuirass Charge. After the war, when cleaning the battlefield, he was discovered by the Han army.
King Zhelan is really easy to identify.
His golden crown and golden belt were very conspicuous, telling the Han soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield that this was a big fish.
So, he was rushed to the Chinese army's tent, where he was bandaged and the bleeding was stopped.
Then his identity was confirmed.
Zhelan King Gutu!
Since the war between Han and Hungary, the Han army has achieved the greatest result!
Although Gu Tu is still in a coma, he is much happier than those Dahu Guards who were trampled to pulp and cut into pieces during the breastplate charge.
But his fate may be even more tragic than those who died on the battlefield!
Tian Jian heard that this invader chief would be sacrificed to the ancestors of the Han family in the Ancestral Temple in the future.
There are even rumors that Marquis Dongcheng has written to the court, requesting that the captive chieftain's body be cast into bronze, and then made into a kneeling statue, which will forever kneel in front of Emperor Gao's mausoleum in Changling.
Look how miserable the intruder's fate will be!
Before that, of course, it would be best for this captive chief to stay alive.
"You all go and get busy!" Tian Jian ordered in a formal manner: "Before dusk today, the battlefield must be cleaned up to avoid the breeding of plague and disease!"
Today is the morning of the third day after the war.
The high temperature in autumn caused many Huns corpses that were not buried to begin to rot and emit a foul odor.
The Han army's corpse collection team refused to bury the Huns' corpses yesterday afternoon.
Their main task now has become to make coffins for the fallen Han soldiers so that they can be sent back to their hometowns for burial after the war.
Therefore, the task of burying the corpse became the job of the prisoners.
Among the tasks Tian Jian accepted, there was also the task of supervising and urging the captives managed by these Zhelan nobles to work seriously.
This is currently known among the Han army as using barbarians to control barbarians.
That is, let the old captured nobles manage and supervise other captives working for the Han army, and at the same time restrain these captives.
This policy is very effective.
Many problems were solved at once, greatly reducing the burden and pressure on the Han army.
Of course, the Han army was not afraid of these guys taking the opportunity to escape or cause trouble.
All the prisoners have now been disarmed and have lost all ability to resist.
More importantly, the Han army already controlled a vast plain with a radius of dozens of miles.
No one can escape from the area controlled by the Han army.
Moreover, Zhelan's prisoners had absolutely no intention of escaping.
There were more than 3,000 prisoners of war in total, all of whom seemed to have accepted their fate.
Work conscientiously for the Han army.
Even every morning, there were many prisoners of war. The first thing they did when they got up was to quickly kowtow and bow to the camp of the Han army's center and cuirassiers, as if they were worshiping gods.
And the work of cleaning and smoothing the cuirassiers' horses became even more popular.
Some people even witnessed that some Hun prisoners of war secretly hid some of the hair that fell from the cuirassiers' horses and took them back like treasures. Then they paid homage in the morning and evening.
Some prisoners of war who were more skilled in craftsmanship even used clay to make the appearance of a cuirassier, placed it on their bedside, and worshiped it like gods.
This left many people speechless.
I feel like something is wrong with the style of painting.
But no matter what, the Han army now knows one fact - Zhelan, the terrible enemy in the past, the executioner who repeatedly invaded the Great Wall defense line and killed countless Han soldiers and civilians, no longer exists.
It can no longer pose any threat to the Great Wall!
…………………………………………
Tian Jian took these Hun noble prisoners of war who were placed under his jurisdiction and control out of the big tent, and then directed them to clean up the remaining remains and bones on the distant battlefield.
Although he was still a little rusty in doing this kind of thing, he made some mistakes.
But subconsciously, he couldn't help but imitate his mentor's every move.
Therefore, the layout is quite stylish.
Moreover, things like this are not complicated and are not beyond his capabilities.
Therefore, after a short period of unfamiliarity, he started to command with style.
This made Yi Zong, who had been observing him silently, nod slightly.
Leading troops or commanding something like this requires talent.
People without talent need to put in countless hard work and sweat before they can get started.
And gifted people, like those geniuses in history, can understand everything at once and learn it quickly.
For example, Xiang Yu, Han Xin, Bai Qi and Wu Qi.
They are all such geniuses.
Now, Yi Zong felt that this young man named Tian Jian might be a piece of rough jade. If he carves it well, he might become a unique general in the future!
"Your Majesty, do you have a love for talents?" Next to Yi Zong, a school captain said with a smile.
Yi Zong smiled noncommittally and said, "Brother Xian, please stop joking. Let's talk about the next action!"
Yi Zong walked to a map that had just been drawn out and looked at the places marked on the map where the main forces of other Xiongnu tribes were entrenched.
The Zhelan tribe has been wiped out.
The hussar army has also completed its repairs.
Xiliu Camp, which bypassed Daiguo's Great Wall and attacked the Huns' baggage and logistics bases, also achieved victory and sent messengers to communicate.
They will arrive at Wuzhou Fortress as scheduled in two days and join the Hussars army.
In this way, the Han army formed two powerful attack arrows on the north and south sides.
You can see clearly through the map.
These two arrows, from the north and south directions, attacked the remnants of the Huns in the middle.
They are already turtles in a urn, unable to fly even if they have no wings!
Eating them would not be difficult for the current Han army.
Now, the problem has become how to deal with these Huns at the minimum cost.
"Yin Zhixie still has more than 30,000 people under his command, so it's hard to deal with them!" Yi Zong said with a slight frown.
He knew very well that the more than 30,000 Huns cavalry commanded by Yin Zhixie would definitely not stupidly bump into the Han army's breastplate array like the Zhelan tribe.
They will definitely try their best to delay the matter.
Originally, the Huns wanted to delay, and it didn't matter if they were righteous.
A turtle in a urn, a dying person, it is normal to want to die later.
However, from the captive Zhelan, Yi Zong learned a terrible news - Yin Zhixie might be trying to kill everyone, using corpses to create plague and spread diseases in the Han Dynasty, turning an area of two hundred miles into a digital
A terrifying hell that no one dares to approach for years.
This information caught Yi Zong's attention.
He knew that he had to fight quickly and not give Yin Zhi a chance to break the net! (To be continued.) xh:.218.204.13
