Chapter 197: Khan, Be Careful!
The captured beam spies and Turkic scouts were nowhere to be found.
After all, when the captured laborers are escorted back, the mercenary guild only registers the number, not the origin of the identity.
Just distinguish whether they belong to the strong labor force or the old and weak women and children, and then organize them into labor brigades of 1,000 people and send them to the rear to build roads, and the women and children are sent to work in various workshops under the [Wuji Gate].
At this time, it is really not easy to find out those spies and horses from such a large number of Turkic laborers, and they can only be blamed for their bad lives.
However, when those Hu merchants from the Western Regions were sent to the Mercenary Guild for registration, because their appearance was different from that of the Central Plains and the Turks, and the goods they carried from the Western Regions, it was easy to distinguish them.
When they were released from the labor camp, the group of Hu merchants in the Western Regions couldn't live crying with their thighs in charge, that was called a grateful Dade, this Nima was almost sold, so scared!
This forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and once the greed in people's hearts is released, it is difficult to control.
The protection of Hu Shang in the Western Regions is mainly to prepare for the economic development of the Belt and Road Initiative after the stability of Datang at that time.
Bai Yuqi can only supplement the mercenary management system, and it is difficult to say whether it can completely eliminate the situation of grasping good and taking credit, after all, it is difficult to avoid the intention of a private mercenary group to see wealth.
There is a strict management system and a strong [Wujimen] system to suppress it, and I believe that the people of the Central Plains should not have much risk.
As for the Hu merchants in the Western Regions, they can only be reminded that running a business is risky, and they need to be cautious when entering the industry, and I wish them good luck.
The emergence of a new system will inevitably be accompanied by all kinds of chaos, this person is separated from the belly, and Bai Yuqi has no good way to completely eliminate it, it can only be classified as the throes of reform, and it will be slowly adjusted and controlled in the future.
Because the Turkic steppe was about to be plagued by the mercenaries, "a thousand mountains and birds flew away, and thousands of people were wiped out", and even began to spread to the surrounding areas, so basically there was nothing wrong with Bai Yuqi, the "Xuanqi Star Monarch".
Bai Yuqi simply summed up with Qin Qiong, Li Jing and other Tang military bigwigs, and pulled his team to Yunzhou to see if there was anything they could help.
The reason why this decision was made is that both the "rescue operation" and the "road construction" are already on the right track, and there is no need for Bai Yuqi, a high-level decision-maker, to keep an eye on it.
The second reason is that although the Tang army besieging the Great Liang of Yunzhou, the original task was mainly to prevent the Liang division from harassing the construction of Yuanlou Town and the rescue operation of the Jiuli brothers.
But now the Turkic steppes are about to be destroyed by the mercenaries.
Although it was not the Tang Dynasty that launched the war against the Turks, the results were not any different.
Bai Yuqi estimated that when the spring flowers bloomed, there would be no Turks on the grassland, and then he would directly send someone to take over this empty territory.
Well, Bai Yuqi said that we are really just here to "recruit workers", and it is definitely not an ugly war of aggression, and it is purely an accident to recruit people to empty the Turks!
In this case, if you want to say that Chai Shao and Li Jing didn't have the idea of destroying Liang Shidu's nail household by the way, then it is called a lie!
No matter how you look at it, I don't think that Liang Shidu's Great Liang Country looks like it can survive this winter.
As for Jieli, who came to support Liang Shidu with his clans, not to mention Bai Yuqi, even Chai Shao, who learned the "truth", began to worry about him:
Be careful! When you are caught, you must bring a certificate that can prove your identity, or you will not be able to find you after you are sent to the labor camp!
If it is a conventional war, it is really difficult to say who will lose and who will win between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, but no matter who wins, it will definitely be a tragic battle.
Regardless of the casualties on both sides, the consumption of money and food will inevitably make the already embarrassed Datang break his muscles and bones.
However, Emperor Wuji launched a "rescue operation for the people of Jiuli", which caused the powerful and powerful families of the Tang Dynasty to mobilize their subordinates and private soldiers to form a mercenary group to run to the grassland to "grab money".
These large and small civil mercenary groups range from more than 100 to more than 1,000 people.
Even the Feng family, who was far away in Lingnan, was unwilling to be lonely and sent a group of Lingnan mercenary groups with a scale of about more than 10,000 people!
If you don't consider the combat effectiveness, according to the statistics of the Mercenary Guild, the number of registered mercenaries does not add up to one million, and at least hundreds of thousands!
And after a white plague raged, it was plagued by these tens of millions of "mercenaries".
The number of troops that can still be mustered under Jieli's hands, even if the old and weak women and children left behind are counted, it is still a question whether they can gather enough for 100,000 troops.
You know, at this time, the Turks are in the eyes of those mercenaries who have gone crazy for money.
It's not a vicious Turkic iron horseman, but a twenty-pass voucher that can walk!
In the case of unknown information, Jieli ran over to rescue Liang Shidu with his Turkic iron cavalry.
No matter how you look at it, there is a feeling of meat buns beating dogs and sending sheep into the tiger's mouth...... Khan, isn't it good to live?
The most sympathetic thing is that Jieli brought out all the soldiers of his tribes, leaving only the old and weak women and children and a large herd of mules, horses, cattle and sheep in the tribe, what will be the reaction of those mercenaries who did not dare to attack these large tribes?
With the hand speed that those mercenaries had trained in order to grab money from the dragoons, it should be too late for Jieli to turn back now.
If you rush back, you will probably see an empty snowfield, and even the little cow dung cake that has accumulated will not be left for him, because the cow dung cake will be sent to the transfer station camp and collected by the people, which can be used as fuel for the steam boiler for heating!
And after Jieli's lair was raided, it is estimated that his tears will fall when he knows the truth, even if he can keep the tens of thousands of Turkic iron horsemen under him, it is meaningless.
The cattle are gone, the sheep are gone, and even the wives and children are gone, even the tents and cow dung cakes are gone, what will they eat when they go back? Will the sheep live by eating grass? The final outcome is probably only to surrender to Datang, right?
It can be said that from the moment he led his troops out of the lair, his fate was already doomed, who can blame him? Emperor Wuji said, I don't carry this pot!
In addition to these two reasons, another main reason why Bai Yuqi wanted to go to the front line in person was...... It's a war!
Someone will definitely die in a war, right? If someone dies, he will definitely produce soul energy, right? Otherwise, why do you think he would change his vest and run to the front line?
Although the situation was a little different from what he expected, the rescue operation did go smoothly a little too much.
So that he has never encountered any too fierce battles, and naturally he has not absorbed any soul energy, and finally encountered it as if he was going to fight a big battle, can he hurry up and gain some experience?
