Luo Zhaoyun returned to the camp, discussed with the old general Pei Renji, named him the marshal of the Zhenbei Rebellion, and rushed to the border of Yan'an County with 30,000 soldiers and horses, grain and grass, and repaired the defense of the border passes, such as the beacon tower, the destroyed Great Wall passes, etc., and repaired them.

After all, this time the Turkic soldiers and horses were able to go south smoothly, and the defense of the frontier land was like a fictitious situation, which was after the collapse of the Great Sui, the thieves and ringing horses in the border areas rose up, disturbing the people everywhere, and some local rich families and squires had to rely on and support the northwest wealthy families and local forces, and these forces could not get the protection of the Central Plains, so they attached themselves to the Turkic side and paid gold, silver, money and materials regularly, as a tax to serve as protection money.

Therefore, the defense of the frontier lands, the passes of the Great Wall, etc., were destroyed, so that the Turkic cavalry could enter and exit freely at several fortress openings.

Luo Zhaoyun sent scouts outside the Guan, found out about the situation, reported it to the imperial court, and he decided to take this opportunity to send a veteran general to repair the Great Wall pass in the Shuofang area, the destroyed fortifications, and so on.

At the same time, the garrison there can also receive the soldiers and horses of Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin who are out of the customs, and respond and support in time when they encounter a request for help.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will complete his mission!" Pei Renji's sixtieth year, but when he is old and strong, in the history books, he will not live this period, as early as Luoyang should have been slaughtered by Wang Shichong, but because of the appearance of Luo Zhaoyun, defeated Wang Shichong, and sent people to incorporate Pei Renji's father and son in advance, so he was saved from misfortune and became a powerful military general of the Dahua court.

Luo Zhaoyun nodded, and sent an old general over, he can rest assured, compared to the old general, he can endure loneliness, and the chance of being bewitched by the enemy in the border area is greatly reduced, and he can also seriously go to this kind of non-combat tasks such as repairing fortifications. In addition, the prestige in the army is high, and in Yan'an County, Shuofang County, etc., it can calm the chaos and calm the people and stabilize the party.

"Tomorrow, the delegates will set off, and the rest of the people will be brought back to the capital."

After Pei Renji surrendered his hand, he asked: "Your Majesty, do those captives need to be escorted by their ministers and returned to the border area to serve as slave laborers?" ”

Luo Zhaoyun smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "That's overkill, I have other uses, the Turkic cavalry is brave and good at fighting, but after surrendering, as a vanguard, deal with several forces in the south, such as Xiao Liang, Du Fuwei, etc." For the rest of the wounded, you can lead the troops to escort them to the border, let them find someone to send letters to their tribes, and redeem them with cattle, sheep, horses, etc., and if they are not ransomed, they will stay as slave laborers, build the Great Wall, and make good use of these prisoners of war. ”

After Pei Renji heard this, his eyes lit up, he couldn't imagine that this prisoner of war was so useful, it was much better than directly killing him, and there was also humanitarianism, that is, he needed to waste some food and herbs.

After Pei Renji went out, Luo Zhaoyun asked the guards to escort the leaders of several Turkic tribes over, and several of them had not died in battle, and they all chose to surrender.

After a while, five or six people were escorted into the big tent, the armor on their bodies was taken off, and they were changed into ordinary Central Plains round-necked clothes, with gray faces and haggard faces, after entering the military tent, they saw Luo Zhaoyun sitting in the main seat, looking at several people, all of them were so frightened that they knelt down and confessed, and kept begging in their mouths.

Some people who can speak the Central Plains dialect have already begged for mercy: "I beg His Majesty the Central Plains to be merciful, I have received the coercion of the Turkic Khan, and we have no choice but to follow the south, and I have no intention of daring to go against the Central Plains." ”

"I beg Your Majesty to be merciful, we are willing to surrender to His Majesty in the Central Plains, serve as the Heavenly Khan, pay tribute every year, and never start a war again."

Luo Zhaoyun calmly looked at the six people kneeling on the ground, with different appearances, tall, short, fat and thin, and even the faces of people from the Western Regions, with high nose bridges, blue eyes, and some differences from the grassland people.

"Which tribe are you?"

"Return, go back to Your Majesty in the Central Plains, I am a prince of Gaochang." The man replied with a trembling bow.

"Gao Chang? One of the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions! Luo Zhaoyun stared at him with blazing eyes, and he didn't expect that Gao Changguo's people were also involved.

This Gaochang Kingdom existed in the narrow Turpan Basin, during the Western Han Dynasty, and the country has always been small, and it was once a vassal of the Central Plains Dynasty. In the fifth year of the great cause of the Sui Dynasty, King Gaochang sent tribute and sent troops to assist the Sui Dynasty in attacking Goguryeo.

However, according to history, it seems that in the fourteenth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, Gaochang was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, Gaochang County was placed, and then Anxi was set up to protect the government, which was an opportunity.

Luo Zhaoyun stared coldly at the prince of Gaochang Kingdom, who was in his thirties, constantly begging for mercy, but he was not in a hurry to deal with him, he planned to temporarily detain him, and asked about Gaochang's strength and topographical maps, etc., and when he escorted this prince back, he could follow the army behind, directly break Gaochang Kingdom, set up the Anxi Protectorate in advance, and open up the Silk Road with Yumen Pass.

"I know, come here, take the prince of Gaochang down, keep him alone, and try it again in the future!"

Two guards came in and took the prince of Gaochang with them, who cried out for mercy and mercy, and was taken down.

"How many of you, what tribe are you from?"

"Contemptible people come from servant bones......"

"I ..... I'm from the Rouran Division. ”

"I'm a Uighur!"

"@#%@#" There are two people who speak grassland dialect, they don't speak Central Plains, and they don't understand much, so they answer in the grassland tribal language, and they are anxious to gesture with their hands.

The person next to him replied on behalf of the two: "Your Majesty, he is from the Husa tribe of Tiele, and the Turkic Abba tribe......

Luo Zhaoyun knew the identities of several people, basically the leaders of the tribes, each brought thousands, tens of thousands of people, and joined the Turkic army, as everyone said, they were also involuntarily, coerced by the leader of the steppe alliance and the powerful Turks, so they had to follow the troops, plus the temptation of the Central Plains, so they followed the south.

"You are guilty of going south to invade the Central Plains. However, I have already broken the Turks, and there are heavy casualties on both sides, and I am unwilling to kill any more people because I have the virtue of a good life in God, so I can not kill a few of you and the captives. However, it is necessary to make meritorious contributions to major crimes, take the remnants of the remnants, carefully select 20,000 horses, follow me back to Beijing, and then go to the Central Plains to pacify the Xiaoliang regime in the south for me, and some southern princes, and when the task is completed, you can return your freedom, and you can also give you some items, seal the identity of some Central Plains Chinese officials, and return to the tribe. Luo Zhaoyun is enlightening and persuading.

After listening to these people and explaining to each other, they all understood, and everyone pondered solemnly for a while, and finally nodded helplessly in agreement, people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and they had no other choice, if they didn't contribute or refused, it was estimated that they would not stay alive.

"We are willing to be driven by His Majesty Dahua, become a vassal of the Central Plains Celestial Empire, and lead troops to follow the battle!" These people replied obediently.

Luo Zhaoyun smiled faintly, looking harmless to humans and animals, quite benevolent, and he had already calculated it in his heart.
