Chapter 705: The war is over and the golden soldiers leave
Accepted the surrender of Tubo, but Shen Tang was not in a hurry to send the battle report to the court!
Next, whether it is to conquer the Tubo territory or start taking action against the local tribes, these are extremely easy to be obstructed.
Therefore, it is better to strike first and wait until the facts are established. Even if the court knows about it, some people will be unable to refute it.
Shao Hongyuan and others surrendered without any accidents! All the more than 30,000 Tibetan soldiers and horses were taken into custody, and all supplies were transferred to the Song army for custody.
Afterwards, they joined forces and arrived at Jiading Mansion.
Their location was not far from Jiading Mansion, so it took only two days for the army to arrive at Jiading Mansion.
There were a total of more than 60,000 Tibetan troops. After several Song armies extracted the elites, only about half remained.
Then, another 10,000 soldiers and horses were temporarily assigned to be led by Dawa Tata, and they cooperated with Shao Hongyuan to leave again.
This time it will definitely be bloody.
However, since these tribes betrayed them, they must bear the current consequences.
As for whether Dawa Tata will rebel again, Shen Tang is not worried!
Tubo's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were defeated, and now there are only 10,000 left. What kind of disturbance can Dawa Tata create?
What's more, he is guarded by Shao Hongyuan, so what if he has some plans?
Furthermore, even if he really rebelled, where could he escape to?
The armies of Xin Qiji, Teng Wu and Balumu have already marched westward, and it won't be long before they will be able to occupy all the territory on the Tibetan border.
At that time, it will be extremely difficult for Dawa Tata to escape back to Tubo.
Moreover, once Shen Tang discovers it, Shen Tang will never have any mercy again, and will bring disaster to other surrendered Tubo soldiers.
Therefore, as long as Dawa Tata is smart enough, he will not act rashly!
Now that the war in Chengdu has basically ended, although there are still two groups of soldiers and horses on the expedition, there are no longer any large-scale battles.
Whether it is local tribes or small tribes on the Tibetan border, there will not be much resistance.
Outside the city of Jiading Prefecture, teams of Jin cavalry lined up respectfully.
In addition to the 10,000 Jin soldiers who entered Tubo first and the 10,000 Jin soldiers who followed Balumu and marched westward again, there were more than 30,000 Jin soldiers and horses. After Shen Tang thought for a while, he asked them to return to the Jin Kingdom first. .
Now that the war against Tubo has come to an end, the nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Qiang and other tribes, as well as the original more than 60,000 soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty, are enough to cope with the current situation.
Furthermore, there are tens of thousands of Tibetan prisoners. If this force is properly controlled, it will be no small matter.
The most important thing is that after the war, it is not a good thing for the troops of the Jin Kingdom to stay in the Song Dynasty for a long time.
"Heihan and Zhuo, I would like to thank you for your help in this battle in Chengdu.
After you return, please give my regards to Your Majesty.
When Chengdu is settled, I will definitely go to see Your Majesty in person."
Shen Tang said solemnly.
Heihan and Zhuo chuckled, "Commander, why are you so polite?
It is our blessing to be able to follow the commander-in-chief in battle.
What's more, if we can successfully occupy all the areas around Zoergai this time, our contribution will not be small, and His Majesty will be satisfied."
During this period of following Shen Tang, both Heihan, Zhuo and Balumu learned a lot.
If they were fierce generals before, then after this experience and learning, it won't take long for them to become independent commander-level figures.
He may even be comparable to He Shi Lie Zhining in the future.
"I have prepared your food and grass. In addition, these are three hundred thousand taels of silver notes, which I give to you personally."
The military achievements of Chengdu Prefecture naturally have no meaning to these gold soldiers, so it would be more appropriate to send more gold and silver.
"Besides that, I have allocated 15,000 Tubo prisoners, and they will be taken away by you as well! Simply, the return journey is not urgent. Even if there is a slight delay on the way, it doesn't matter."
Most of Tubo's soldiers and horses were light and strong, which was a rare human resource for both the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom.
Moreover, since the beginning of this battle almost all relied on the Jin Kingdom's contribution, it was only natural to distribute some of these captives.
"this……"
"Heihan and Zhuo, you deserve this! No need to refuse!"
Shen Tang waved his hand.
"In that case, thank you so much, Marshal!"
Heihan and Zhuo nodded gratefully.
The more than 10,000 young men brought back to the Kingdom of Jin are a considerable resource. Whether they are integrated into the army or used for other purposes, they can play a big role.
"Okay, it's a long journey, so I won't go far to see you off.
You all have a smooth return journey, and one day, you and I will finally see each other again!"
Shen Tang said slowly.
brush!
Hei Khan and Zhuo dismounted, and the tens of thousands of cavalry behind him also dismounted!
"Let's say goodbye to the commander-in-chief!"
boom!
Tens of thousands of Jin soldiers knelt down on one knee and saluted Shen Tang respectfully! Although Shen Tang was not a Jin man, Shen Tang was so powerful that he conquered these armies of the Jin Kingdom, and after all, Shen Tang had a In the Kingdom of Jin, he was given the title of General.
Therefore, they saluted Shen Tang without any discomfort.
After saluting, everyone got on their horses and then headed straight to the north! After a while, they disappeared from Shen Tang's sight.
As for the more than 10,000 Tibetan prisoners, it was not a problem.
Most of the Jin Kingdom's cavalry consisted of one person and two horses, and even the elite ones had one person and three horses. They just had a few horses left for them to ride on.
"Sure enough, things are unpredictable!"
Beside Shen Tang, Bian Xi sighed and said, "Before this, we were life-and-death enemies with the Kingdom of Jin, but we never thought that one day we would have soldiers and horses from the Kingdom of Jin help us fight.
This time in the battle of Chengdu Fulu, if it were not for the help of Jin soldiers and horses, I am afraid it would be more difficult for us to win and the damage would be greater."
"In the future, if I face Jin Bing again, I really don't know what to do!"
Shen Tang shook his head indifferently, "A large part of Jin Guo's help this time is also profitable! So, we don't need to do this! If Jin Guo has other difficulties, then we should naturally help to make up for this situation. point.
However, if the two countries confront each other, what kind of friendship will there be?"
"That's right! Anyway, you or Prime Minister Zhang have considered these things. We just charge into battle, so there's no need to worry!"
Bian Xi teased.
"Now that the main battle is over, how do we arrange the next step?"
Bian Xi asked again.
Shen Tang looked leisurely towards the south, "Cheng Yuhu has sent news that the soldiers and horses of the Xuhen Department are still lingering in Rune Town. In this case, let's prepare to leave!"
