Chapter 226: Forming the Qiang Army

With a hundred explosive packets thrown into the Nori's stockade by catapults, the gates of the Yeli's stockade were opened without any attack, and Yeli Xiongfei and his henchmen walked out of the village and surrendered.

Li Chengqian sat on the throne on the high platform and watched Ye Li Xiongfei fly with a dark and strong upper body, carrying a bundle of thorns, kneeling on the ground and trembling slightly.

I can't help but think of Li Shimin's evaluation of these people: Yidi, beasts, fearing power but not virtue.

Then, Li Chengqian turned his head and looked at the group of Qiang tribal leaders kneeling on the side with an expressionless face, and said to Liu Kui: "Ask him why he betrayed the Tang Dynasty?"

Liu Kui already knew when to be majestic and when to pretend to be honest at this time, and he knew that he was already a dead man by looking at Li Chengqian's eyes when he looked at Yeli Xiongfei.

So, Liu Kui walked forward two times, looked at Ye Lixiong, and said in a long voice: "Ye Li Xiongfei, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked why you want to collude with rebellion?"

"The minister was confused for a while, offended Tianwei and died without redemption, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to punish the crime, woo...... Woo."

Nori Male flew and lay on the ground, whining and crying, never looking up again.

Li Chengqian only felt disgusted when he watched a big man and three rough old men perform and wept bitterly, and raised his hand to Ye Li Xiongfei and a group of henchmen behind him and said coldly: "First beat forty military sticks and hand them over to Wang Qun for careful interrogation." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spares his life!"

……

……

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Amidst the shouting of Yeli Xiongfei and his henchmen, Lu Hong walked forward with a team of guards dressed in Mingguang armor and drove these people not far away to fight with military sticks.

Here, Li Chengqian stretched out his hand and pointed to the leaders of the Qiang people kneeling next to him and said, "Announce them to come forward!" ”

Liu Kui turned to look at the leaders of the Qiang people, and said in a long voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince announced that you will see you." ”

At this time, the leaders of the Qiang people had not recovered from the shock just now, their faces were still pale, and they didn't even dare to stand up in a hurry when they heard the words, and they knelt on the high platform facing Li Chengqian.

"Bang Bang ......"

"Ahh......hh

In the distance, the sound of no Toshio Fei and his henchmen being beaten was heard.

Fei Ting, the leader of the Fei Ting clan, was so frightened that he forgot to lead everyone to kowtow to Li Chengqian for a while.

After a while, he suddenly felt that someone was looking at him, and when he looked up, he saw that it was the handsome Royal Highness the Crown Prince staring at him and the others expressionlessly.

Hurriedly kowtowed to Li Chengqian, and said loudly: "The ministers see His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Li Chengqian waited for them to knock for a while before he said lightly: "No courtesy!" ”

After Liu Kui stood in front of the stage and relayed it loudly, when everyone stopped, Li Chengqian looked at the leaders of the stage indifferently and said, "Datang is not good for you?"

Fei listened to Gu Yue's frightened face when he heard this, and hurriedly kowtowed again and said loudly: "The kindness of the Tang Dynasty Heavenly Khan and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the ministers is high and high, and only the wolf-hearted people such as the Yeli clan are ungrateful and betrayed the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Chengqian's face remained unchanged, and his voice was still cold: "So you are loyal to Datang?"

"The heart of the minister can show the sun and ......the moon," Fei listened to Gu Yue and said, lying on the ground again and kowtowing.

Li Chengqian saw that it was almost over, so he waved his hand lightly and said to Liu Kui: "Let them watch from the side first." ”

Then he turned back to He Li, who had been protecting him today, and said: "General Qibi's punishment of this Yeli clan is according to the old practice of the Lanshan Department, but there are nearly 30,000 people in the Yeli clan's village, so if you want to kill a thousand more, General Lao will pick out those who should be killed." ”

Rao is Qi Qi He Li was born in the grassland to kill and decide, and when he heard that Li Chengqian was about to behead 2,000 people, he was still taken aback, thought for a while, hugged his fists and bowed down and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince's rebellion against the Tang Dynasty should indeed be punished severely, but it will not help if you kill them all, it is better to reduce them all to slaves and send them to Jiannan to log and never turn back, what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think?"

Li Chengqian looked at him with a cold face, and when he saw that Qi Qi He Li looked solemn, he didn't seem to be fake, so he slowly said to him: "People's ambition is like the weeds on this grassland. "The general is loyal to my Datang, but he should also love the Tiele Qibi clan, right?"

He Li was stunned when he heard this, thinking that Li Chengqian said that he was disloyal, and hurriedly said loudly: "The minister's heart for the Tang Dynasty can be seen every day!" ”

Li Chengqian got up and raised his hand to gently caress his shoulder and said, "The general misunderstood, King Gu does not doubt the general's loyalty. It's just that thinking that the competition between the northern and southern tribes in the desert has almost become a certainty, and the general doesn't want to lay a foundation for the Tiele clan for a thousand years of long-term prosperity?"

He Lijiu naturally knows some Chinese history in Chang'an, and knows that China has been inherited from Pangu to the present, while the grassland has been transformed like flowing water by various tribes.

As the khan of the Tiele clan, of course, he wanted to lay the foundation for the Tiele clan for a thousand years of long-term prosperity, and looked at Li Chengqian and couldn't help but say hopefully: "Does the prince have a good law minister?"

Li Chengqian nodded lightly when he heard this: "Although China has experienced thousands of years of rise and fall, although there have been changes from time to time, it has never been broken, the general is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, why not lead the Tiele clan to completely belong to my Tang Dynasty?"

Qi Bi He Li was right when he heard this, if the powerful Tiele clan of the Tang Dynasty belonged to the Tang Dynasty, even if it could not guarantee a thousand years of prosperity, it could also ensure a hundred years of prosperity.

At this time, except for other ethnic groups in China, there is no stupid idea of preferring the head to the phoenix, or to protect the traditional national culture.

"He is busy with Qibi, and the ministers are naturally willing, so the ministers are dedicated to helping the great expedition to destroy Xue Yantuo......"

Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction, and sighed again: "But even if Xue Yantuo is destroyed, the remnants of the Turks will easily let you enter Monan?"

These Qiang patriarchs who are in line with the yang and the yin will be embarrassed by you on the way to Chang'an with your cattle and sheep to exchange for food. ”

When He Li heard this, a fierce light immediately flashed in his eyes, but when he saw that the Qiang people thought that Li Chengqian might kill all of them, he was also shocked, and his face showed hesitation and said: "But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince killed all these people......

Li Chengqian shook his head and smiled when he heard this: "The general misunderstood, the lone king is not a murderous person, ten years of life and ten years of upbringing, and a generation of new people will replace the old." Twenty years later, the people here will think that they were born to be the people of the Tang Dynasty, and the Lone King just wants to clean up the people who may jump out and destroy in the past twenty years. ”

He Li thought for a while and said solemnly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is far-sighted, and the general will be very impressed, so the minister will do what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince says." ”

Li Chengqian watched as He Li turned around and went to the Yeli Department to select the target of tomorrow's beheading, and then drove back to Tang Datang's military camp.

In the afternoon of the same day, Wang Qun interrogated Yeli Xiongfei and his henchmen, and Qi Bi He Li selected all the men who had some prestige or strength among the Yeli clan's descendants.

The other generals, except for Su Dingfang, who led the army to stay in the Yeli Village, Wei Chigong led the army to patrol the vicinity, and Xue Rengui, Wang Fangyi, and Cheng Wuting all followed Li Chengqian to prepare a set of regulations for training the new army in the Tang army's camp.

When the leaders of the Qiang tribe saw that they went back and discussed, they thought that Li Chengqian ordered them to come over just so that they could see the strength of the Tang army, so they ignored them anymore.

I was secretly relieved in my heart, but I also secretly warned myself: Datang has the magic of thunder and thunder, and from now on, he can no longer have the heart of disobedience.

However, on the second day, they saw with their own eyes that Qi Qi He Li had beheaded the young men of the wild Rich's who had been selected yesterday, and the fear in their hearts was like a weed growing madly on the grassland.

After beheading 2,000 people, Li Chengqian summoned a group of Qiang leaders again in front of the neat rows of fallen corpses.

Seeing the leaders of the Qiang tribe kneeling on the ground and not daring to get up, Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, King Gu is just harsh on rebellious ministers, and he is still very tolerant of loyal ministers like you in the Tang Dynasty." ”

Fei Ting, Gu Yue and the others were extremely frightened when they saw Li Chengqian's smiling appearance, and squeezed out a smile on their faces that was more ugly than crying: "His Royal Highness the Prince's benevolent ministers and others know very well, and the ministers... The ministers swore to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Chengqian nodded with a smile when he heard this: "Since you are truly loyal to the Tang Dynasty, now that Liu Lan is colluding with the Yeli clan and the Pochao clan to make trouble, should you do something?"

Fei listened to Gu Yue's words and said directly without thinking about it: "The ministers are at the mercy of His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

The others also hurriedly followed: "The ministers are at the mercy of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

……

……

Li Chengqian's face turned straight when he heard this: "Okay, then send someone back to summon all the young and strong people in the clan, and King Gu will train them, and then arrange them to be sent to the Tang army to crusade against Liu Lan." ”

The leaders were stunned when they heard this, you look at me, I look at you, they all want to know what Li Chengqian wants to do.

In the end, everyone looked at Fei Tinggu Yue, and Fei Tinggu Yue was hesitating to say something.

Just looked up and saw that Li Chengqian's face was already gloomy, and he knew that there was no time to think about it, so he hurriedly said, "Since the ministers are loyal ministers of the Tang Dynasty, it is the duty of the ministers to help the court quell the rebellion, please lead the warriors of your clan to Xiazhou to crusade against Liu Lan." ”

Li Chengqian snorted coldly when he heard this: "As long as the young and strong people in your tribe don't need you to lead the troops, you can think about it first, and tell General Qibi if you think about it." ”

With that, he turned around and flicked his sleeves and sat back on the throne angrily.

Hearing this, He Li, who was in charge of the beheading, walked up to the leaders of the Qiang people, and snorted coldly: "A group of bastard things, dare to make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince angry, don't you want the lives of the whole clan?"

Fei listened to Gu Yue's troubles when he heard it, and hurriedly said in a loud voice: "The ministers are willing to summon the young and strong people in the clan for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to send." ”

……

……

Li Chengqian showed a satisfied smile on his face when he saw this, and then said to Liu Kui: "Tell General Su to arrange a place for them to live in the Yeli clan's stockade, and don't let them meet at will."

In addition, he told Zhu Jue that the vitality of the fine seal clan was greatly damaged after this battle, if these people did not honestly summon the young Zhuang in the clan and retain their vitality, after the lonely king returned to Chang'an, they would be oppressed by others. ”

These things that sow discord are Liu Kui's strength, and when he heard this, he hurriedly laughed in a low voice: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, can you also tell other Qiang leaders, after all, Zhu Jue doesn't know the truth of all Qiang tribes." ”

Li Chengqian smiled and nodded, then got up and went back.

On the second day, he sent someone to Xiazhou to inform Qiu Xinggong, who was quelling the rebellion in Xiazhou, and suggested that he first send troops to destroy the stockade of Liu Lan's peripheral helper Pochao.

Then Li Chengqian began to sit in Baiquan County, and let Xue Rengui and others practice one after another to the Qiang Qingzhuang.

Seeing these young and strong Qiang people being trained one by one, Li Chengqian was very happy in his heart.

Li Chengqian did not intend to let them return to his tribe from forcibly recruiting these people into the army, Li Chengqian ordered people to send all the remaining people of the Yeli clan to Jiannan to cut wood, and on the other hand, he sent a letter back to the East Palace and ordered Pei Xingjian to find a place near Chang'an where the families of these Qiang people could be placed.

Once their families were taken out of the original tribe, these people also cut off contact with the original tribe, which greatly reduced the combat power of the Qiang people on this grassland, and reduced a lot of trouble for the later people to return to the land.

And these Qiang soldiers will become the most loyal guards in the East Palace, even if Li Chengqian and Li Shimin fight one day, they will follow Li Chengqian.

Therefore, Li Chengqian almost put aside everything else in the next two months, and only focused on the training of the newly recruited thousands of Qiang troops.
