Chapter 202: Unexpected Joy
sent away Su Dingfang's gang, and Li Dongsheng was completely idle. Every day, I went to see how the Tang army trained the Turkic prisoners, and this battle beheaded 10,000 people, capturing more than 100,000 men and women, and hundreds of thousands of livestock, which was a rare victory of the Central Plains regime over the steppe peoples.
With so many people and so many animals, it would be a disaster if it was not handled well. But fortunately, the Turks should have been killed by the Tang army, docile like a yak, the Tang army first separated the young and strong, and then put the women and children in a separate camp, and watched where the Turks were crying every day. Li Dongsheng was still a little soft-hearted and asked the responsible Wei Chigong: "General, isn't it a bit cruel to do this?" ā
Wei Chi Jingde sneered at him: "Stupid, it's useless for you to talk to them about anything, will they be gentle to us Datang people when they attack the Tang Dynasty every year?" ā
"And what about these captives?" Li Dongsheng looked at the Turkic young men sitting on the ground in a circle with a dull expression.
Yu Chi Jingde said lightly: "Kill them all!" ā
Li Dongsheng was startled, he couldn't believe his ears and said, "So many people have all been killed? ā
Wei Chi Jingde nodded and said, "Not bad! So many Turks, these days are afraid of being killed by us, in case they react and once they resist, at least twice or more soldiers will be suppressed by them, and now we are alone in the depths, and there are countless Hu tribes around, in case they are called up by Jieli to counterattack our army, we will be destroyed. Even if Flash Dance doesn't kill them now, when we return to Dingxiang City, we will still freeze and starve to death along the way. With so many people, we don't have enough food and grass! ā
Li Dongsheng: He couldn't imagine the cruelty of this era. Tens of thousands of people killed? This is something beyond his imagination, these are not cattle, sheep and livestock, each and every one of them is a living person! You live and die on the battlefield, but these enemies are now prisoners, how can they do it?
But he knew that what Wei Chi Jingde did was right, now they were in the hinterland of the Turks, surrounded by scattered Hu tribes, although the Tang army went out to clear and suppress, but it would be done for a while. If so many prisoners are taken into custody, at least double the number of troops, not to mention that there are so many women and children, where are there so many people in the Tang Army now? The cavalry went out to hunt down Jieli. There are less than 30,000 infantry troops and logistics people. Li Dongsheng sighed, he still can't be a general, he can't be ruthless like Wei Chi Jingde.
Wei Chi Jingde saw Li Dongsheng's gloom: "You guy is a little smart, but you have to know." This world is not just a matter of making a few poems and making some money, you must have strength to avoid being slaughtered like pigs and dogs. 35xsā
Li Dongsheng bowed his head and said, "The son has been taught." ā
Wei Chi Jingde looked at the prisoner camp while talking to Li Dongsheng, and then said "Huh" to the soldiers next to him: "You go and find out that guy for me." ā
Li Dongsheng looked up, only to see a group of people in the direction of Yu Chi Jingde's finger, a group of people together, his own soldiers rushed over with a dozen of them, those Turks saw that the Tang army was going to come to arrest people, and immediately was in an uproar, dozens of people tightly protected one person from letting the Tang army approach, Wei Chi Jingde immediately sent hundreds of people to rush in, killing more than a dozen Turks, and a large army drove over to suppress some Turkic prisoners who were about to move, and finally dragged the protected person out.
It was a young man, although his hair was also disheveled and his face was full of stubble, but his skin was delicate and there were no calluses on his hands, so he must have been a nobleman. Seeing that he was arrested by Tang Jun, the expression on his face was very flustered.
"Who are you?" Wei Chi Jingde asked in a deep voice, and the Turkic guide next to him translated his words.
When the young Turkic saw the murderous appearance of the Tang army around him, his face showed a look of fear, and he immediately shouted: "Don't kill me, I am the son of the Turkic Great Khan!" ā
"Dieros?" Wei Chi Jingde's eyes lit up when he heard the identity of the other party, as far as he knew, this Di Luo Shi seemed to be Jieli's favorite son, and he took him wherever he went, according to legend, he was likely to succeed the position of the Khan after Jieli's death, and now he didn't catch Jieli, and it was a surprise to catch this Di Luo Shi.
"In which direction did Jieli run?" Wei Chi Jingde is now anxious to know Jieli's whereabouts, and others don't know where Jieli went, but this Di Luo Shi, as Jieli's closest person, is likely to know.
"I really don't know where my father went, the camp was so chaotic the other day that I didn't see him when the army came in, and now I don't know where my father Khan is!" Di Luo Shi replied with a panicked face, for fear that the black-faced general would kill him if he was excited.
At this time, another Tang Jun hurriedly came over and said, "General Qiyu, we have found the body of the former Sui Yicheng Princess. ā
"Oh, are you sure?" Yu Chi Jingde was even happier, now the Han people on the grassland still think that Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty is orthodox, she is dead now, and it will be easy to manipulate in the future.
"I've found a lot of people to see it, and they all confirm it."
"Yes, I'll take note of you." Wei Chi Jingde smiled and said to that Tang Jun. The order went down again, called the captain of the Tang Army, and gave a few orders in a low voice, and several captains nodded and left with complicated expressions.
Li Dongsheng estimated that the situation just now strengthened Wei Chi Jingde's determination to kill the prisoners, and these lieutenants were the specific executors, and he also felt uncomfortable here, so he said goodbye to Wei Chi Jingde and returned to his tent.
Su Dingfang and they went out for a few days, and Pei Sheng followed, this guy wants to die. Li Dongsheng had no friends in the barracks, and he was depressed for a few days, and he wandered around the barracks that day, but subconsciously did not go to the prisoner camp, and went to the logistics camp. ā
"Oops, you've eaten so much and grabbed it."
Li Dongsheng opened the curtain and entered the tent, and found that his apprentices were eating around a pot here, and when he saw Li Dongsheng coming, he shouted very attentively: "Master Li, you are here, please sit down, who is that... Bring some chopsticks. Hurry up. ā
Li Dongsheng saw that they were cooking mutton in a large pot, I don't know if it was a problem with the seasoning, the mutton tasted very good. Li Dongsheng frowned, and suddenly he remembered this weather, at this time, you can eat hot pot.
As soon as he thought of hot pot, Li Dongsheng's saliva immediately came down, he had been out of Chang'an for a few months, and he had eaten a few good meals, and the rest were all about the future, and now as soon as this idea appeared, it was simply impossible to stop. He said to his students, "What kind of garbage are you eating, pour it all out for me." Now the master will teach you a whole new way to eat. ā
