Chapter 356: Desperate to the Death
As soon as the ten-day appointment arrived, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan, Wei Chigong, Shen Guang, and Xue Wanche led the army back one by one.
"Who cut off the head of Tong Ye Hu?" Yang Tong sat on the big tent, looked at the head of Tongye Hu Khan, waved his hand and asked someone to bring it down, pretending not to know.
The generals were all on the list, but with Yang Tong's question, everyone's faces were a little ugly, and the fat in their hands was robbed by the Western Turks in this way, especially in the case of 'ambush on all sides'.
Looking at Yin Mingyue, who named a county, and Du Ruhui, who was victorious, everyone felt ashamed.
"Your Highness, the head of Tong Ye Hu was cut off by Ashina He Modu!" Luo Shixin took the lead in standing up, his face was full of unwillingness, unhappiness and grievance, he was one step away, but he didn't expect to be picked up by the dog's Ashina He Modu.
"Please punish Your Highness!"
The generals pleaded guilty.
Yang Tong smiled slightly, and said to Qin Qiong: "Shubao, you have encountered a tough battle, how many people have you lost?" ”
Qin Qiong arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Highness, our army lost less than 3,000 in this battle, the Western Turks were at least about 24,000, and they still had more than 4,000 people killed by the pursuing troops from all walks of life, and the remaining more than 1,000 people were captured under the leadership of Ashina He Modu. ”
"Then why are you two putting on bitter gourd faces? I don't know, I still think that my Great Sui has lost a big battle! Yang Tong laughed.
The generals were stunned, not knowing what Yang Tong meant.
"I mean, the tens of thousands of troops of the Great Sui can't rob more than a thousand Turks?" Yang Tong looked at the generals and said: "You are still the top fierce generals of the Great Sui, I don't know this reason, what kind of general should you be?" ”
"Huh?" Cheng Yanjin stared at Yang Tong with big eyes, and looked confused: "Your Highness, you asked the last general to go into battle to kill the enemy, but the head has already reached Ashina He Modu's hands, is it difficult to grab it?" ”
"Didn't you do this before?" Yang Tong looked at Cheng Yanjin and wondered.
"Uh...... Let's grab it? Cheng Yanjin's big eyes widened, and he looked at Yang Tong incredulously, as did the others, even Yin Mingyue and Du Ruhui, who acted as spectators, also looked weird.
It is a felony to snatch people's heads and take credit, and the rules are still set by Yang Tong himself, and the rule-makers are now encouraging everyone to rob people's heads???
"I'm talking about not robbing my Da Sui robe." Yang Tong said as a matter of course: "Ashina He Molu is not a soldier of the Great Sui, the second is not a common man of the Great Sui, and the third is that he has not received my amnesty, why does he enjoy the treatment of a soldier of the Great Sui?" ”
"Uh......"
The generals stared at Yang Tong dumbfounded, is this a robbery according to local conditions and orders? Why is there so much excitement in my heart?
"The last will know the mistake, the last will be in the future, hehe knows what to do..." The corners of Luo Shixin's mouth twitched, and he smiled.
"First of all, I affirm that this is external, it is special, and it can only rob the enemy, not my own army and slave soldiers! During the civil war, if you rob the heads of the soldiers who surrendered the city, you will still be severely punished! ”
"The last general obeys!"
The generals happily responded.
The corners of Du Ruhui's mouth twitched: His Royal Highness still has such a personality.
"Your Highness, what should Ashina He Mo and the others do?" Qin Qiong interrupted everyone's cheers, with his understanding of Cheng Biting Jin, once this thing is happy, it is time to swear next, there are not only His Royal Highnesses here, but also girls, how can this bastard talk nonsense, it is because he saw him open his big mouth, and immediately rushed to ask.
"Bring all the chiefs such as Ashina and Molu up!" Yang Tong's expression suddenly turned cold.
Now the main force of the Western Turks has been left in the Hetao, but the threat from the steppe has never stopped since ancient times, and before he was unable to enter the steppe, the more chaotic there is, the more in the interests of the Great Sui.
"Your Highness, Ashina He Molu and others brought it."
After a while, the Xuanjia Army escorted Ashina He Molu and others to the big tent.
Ashina He Modu, led by Ashina He Modu, strode forward, although he became a prisoner, but the unruly temperament of the superior of the grassland people has not disappeared.
Yang Tong didn't know where his self-confidence came from.
On the side, Cheng Biting Jin saw Ashina He Mo standing with his hands in his hands, his eyes widened, and he said sharply: "Turkic dog thief, when you see my Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Great Sui, don't you kneel?" ”
Ashina He Modu's gaze finally retracted from Yin Mingyue, he straightened his clothes, and looked at Yang Tong unruly: "I am the Great Khan of the Western Turks, according to the rules of your Sui Dynasty, I am equal to your Emperor of the Sui Dynasty." Although my Western Turks have been defeated, His Royal Highness the King of Qin can't let me kneel! ”
That natural expression made everyone in the big tent happy.
"Yes, the Great Khan has a lot of backbone." Yang Tong looked at Ashina He Modu, and said with a smile: "Humility and the consciousness of the prisoners under the ladder are not there, but they have learned the arrogance of the scholars, and even the blue is blue, you are amazing." ”
"I'm not a prisoner!" Seeing that everyone's expressions were not good, Ashina He Moduan restrained himself slightly: "I know that I am a prisoner, but I am not!" I came with sincerity to form an alliance with the Sui Dynasty! May I marry with His Highness brothers with different surnames, not for the same year, the same month and the same day, but for the same year, the same month and the same day, and from now on, we will never offend each other. ”
"This SB!" Yang Tong had a black line, feeling that he had met the ancestor of the 'shameless man', and sneered: "How old are you this year?" ”
"Three out of fifty!" Ashina He Mo was puzzled.
"Lao Tzu is only nineteen years old this year." Yang Tong looked at him coldly, and said coldly: ", and you are a dying 'death in the same year, same month, and same day'?" You nn bear, dream about you. ”
In the past few years, even such a treacherous thing has happened, Yang Tong doesn't dare to swear randomly, what should he do?
After everyone was stunned, they burst into laughter!
"You even killed your own nephew, what will never be offended, who are you lying to?" Yang Tong glanced at Ashina He Moxuan and shook his head: "Tongye Hu Khan is both wise and brave, he is a great character, even if he is an enemy, I still respect the bearing of his generation of heroes!" And you, a selfish, greedy and death-fearing person like Ashina He Modu, what kind of thing are you? Also worthy of being on an equal footing with my Da Sui? ”
"What are you going to do?" Ashina He Molu's heart suddenly sank, and a hint of bad premonition rose!
"Escort me out!" Yang Tong smiled coldly.
Outside the camp, Ashina He Molu and other Western Turkic chieftains saw a group of troops tied up by the fierce Sui army, and these Turkic soldiers who thought they had escaped looked around blankly.
A group of archers with cold expressions pointed at the more than 1,000 Turkic soldiers with their cold and shining crossbow arrows.
In an instant, a terrible thought flashed through Ashina He Molu's mind... The Sui army is going to kill all the Turkic warriors who surrendered!
Didn't the Sui army not kill the soldiers?
"Stop! You can't do that! Ashina He Modu pounced in front of Yang Tong like a wounded wolf.
"Humph!" Luo Shixin snorted coldly, and a punch slammed into his stomach, Ashina He Mo screamed in pain, knelt on the ground, and struggled angrily a few times, but Luo Shixin stepped on the crook of his leg, and he couldn't struggle at all.
"Don't you kill the pawns? Aren't you afraid of the gods' punishment? Ashina He Molu struggled frantically and roared at Yang Tong.
"My Central Plains has been a great country of the Celestial Empire since ancient times, and killing and surrendering is regarded as an ominous omen! Therefore, as long as you are willing to surrender, they will often show you kindness and righteousness in order to show the magnanimity of a great power. However, the emperors of all dynasties did not know that you were wolves in human skin, and they did not know that you wolves not only did not appreciate the benevolence and righteousness of the Central Plains, but felt that the Central Plains Dynasty was a fool and a coward, so they turned into a more ferocious plunder of the border people. ”
Yang Tong looked at the Western Turkic warriors who had already discovered the Sui army's intentions and roared, and said lightly: "Facts have proved that the Central Plains is wrong for you to uphold the thousand-year-old policy of 'salute first and then soldier', and you should indeed be merciful to people!" And for you humanoid beasts, you can only kill to stop killing! Therefore I will come the other way around, and 'first soldier and then salute' to you. ”
"You ......" Ashina He Moxuan raised his head, looked at Yang Tong deadly, and roared angrily: "You promised me that you would not kill us." ”
"Did I promise you?"
"This ......" Ashina He Moxuan glared at Yang Tong angrily, speechless.
Yang Tong smiled: "The people who promised you didn't kill you, so they didn't break their promise!" I didn't promise you to surrender, and I rightfully killed you. Not only is this not contradictory, but it is reasonable, and we are still in a time of war, so what's wrong with me killing my own enemies? ”
"......" The general of Da Sui was amazed when he heard it, and Cheng Yanjin muttered: "I have learned a long way, and I have learned another trick." ”
"You ......"
"What are you? Let's go and bury the Khan for Tongye Hu, he is quite lonely alone. Shoot the arrows! ”
As soon as Yang Dong's words fell, the archers of the Great Sui began to pour arrows on the defenseless Turkic warriors, ruthlessly harvesting their fragile lives.
Killing people was not Yang Tong's original intention.
But these people are at the tip of the Western Turkic power tower, they have the ability, the strength, the fame, the appeal, if they return to Qianquan alive, the Western Turk tribes will soon be concentrated under a single person, and in less than a year or two, the Western Turks will become a unified and aggressive country.
Therefore, if they are kept, it will bring great instability to the Western Regions strategy of the Great Sui, and even threaten the normal life of the border people of the Great Sui.
And wars are often full of variables, and if the next time you fight, even if the Great Sui still wins, it may not be as easy as this time.
For the sake of the tranquility of the western part of the Great Sui Dynasty, and in order to reduce the obstacles to the invasion of the Western Regions, these top powerful figures of the Western Turks must die.
Only when these big men die, the Western Turkic tribes will have a battle for tribal chieftains under the leaderless dragons, and after the tribal chieftains compete for each other, it will be followed by the battle for the division of the Great Khan and the battle to unify the khanate. During this period, the Great Sui only had to fan the flames to weaken them in the civil war.
