The sky finally darkened.

And it was only at this time that the Tang army finally eliminated all the Turkic soldiers and horses.

The evening breeze blew, and the smell of blood became even more pungent.

In the night, the Turkic royal city does not seem very quiet, faint, and you can still see some lights.

Obviously, many people were so worried and scared that they couldn't sleep at night.

The Tang army gathered together again, and although they had casualties in this killing, it was not very many.

"Now that the Turks have been defeated, rest for the night, and tomorrow I will lead people to chase Jieli Khan."

Qin Tian stood up, and Li Jing nodded: "Okay!" ”

Hearing this, Su Dingfang, Hou Junji and the others next to them couldn't help but change their faces, if this is to capture Jieli Khan alive, it will be a great achievement, Qin Tian did this, obviously there was a sense of grabbing credit.

"Marshal, we'll go too."

"Marshal, I'll go too."

Su Dingfang and Hou Junji immediately stood up, and when Li Jing saw this, he still didn't understand what they meant, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

At this time, if Li Jing stopped others from making meritorious contributions, he would have to be hated, he knew the art of war, and naturally he also understood the hearts of the soldiers, so the credit was given to them.

Of course, he doesn't need to hunt down Jieli Khan anymore, he is responsible for destroying the Turks, and this credit is already great, and he no longer needs to capture Jieli Khan alive.

After saying this about this matter, Cheng Biting Jin said: "Now that the Turks have been destroyed, should we enter the city?" ”

Although the Turks are not particularly prosperous, the Turkic royal city is definitely a very wealthy city, and rushing into it at this time will definitely be able to reap some benefits.

When the soldiers left their hometowns and fought with their lives, weren't these things what they wanted?

For those who march to war, it can be said that it is an unwritten unspoken rule to capture a city and plunder it a little.

However, after Cheng Yanjin finished saying this, Li Ji shook his head: "No, let's enter the city tomorrow, and besides, the people in the city and their property can't be moved, all we can take is the things in the Turkic palace." ”

Hearing Li Ji say this, Cheng Yanjin immediately pursed his lips, and Li Ji smiled bitterly: "Now that the Turks have been destroyed, this is the territory of my Datang, and the people here are naturally also the people of my Datang, so it is not appropriate to move them." ”

Naturally, there are many reasons, but Li Ji doesn't want to explain too much, how to appease the people, this is what he is good at, Cheng Biting Jin said: "If it's not appropriate, don't move, I didn't say that I robbed those people." ”

Several people said this, and at this time, a guard hurriedly ran over: "Marshal, Yang Zhengdao, the king of the Later Sui Dynasty, asks to see you." ”

Hearing Yang Zhengdao's request to see, Cheng Yanjin suddenly snorted: "This Yang Zhengdao, he let him escape at the beginning, but now look at him fleeing there, marshal, let me chop him with an axe." ”

For Cheng Yanjin, Yang Zhengdao is an enemy, he can kill if he is an enemy, and he will have merit if he kills him.

However, Li Jing shook his head: "Don't worry, he's just afraid that he's here to surrender, the king of a country surrenders, we have no reason to kill him like this, after all, the people under his rule have a good evaluation of him, in order to avoid public resentment, don't be reckless." ”

Saying this, Li Jing immediately ordered: "Go and bring them over." ”

After a short time, there were guards leading Yang Zhengdao and a group of courtiers of the Later Sui Dynasty to come over, and after Yang Zhengdao and them came over, Yang Zhengdao stepped forward and said: "Yang Zhengdao, the king of the fallen country of the Later Sui, has come to surrender to the Great Tang Dynasty." ”

The speculation of the matter is similar to that of Li Jing and theirs, after all, at this time, Yang Zhengdao has no choice.

And as long as Yang Zhengdao and them surrender, Datang really can't do anything to them, killing and surrendering, but it's a big crime.

Li Jing glanced at Yang Zhengdao, but did not speak, as if he had not heard what Yang Zhengdao had just said.

The atmosphere of the whole scene was suddenly a little solemn, Cheng Yanjin pursed his lips, a little bit didn't understand what Li Jing meant, naturally he had expected that people had surrendered, and now that they have surrendered, why don't you care about others?

However, although Cheng Yanjin was puzzled, he didn't interject, he knew that Li Jing must have a deep meaning.

Quiet, quiet.

Yang Zhengdao's cheeks were slightly red, a little ugly.

"Yang Zhengdao, the king of the Later Sui Dynasty, has come to surrender to the Great Tang Dynasty."

Seeing that Li Jing and the others didn't speak, Yang Zhengdao said again, but at this time, Li Jing still just glanced at him and still didn't pay attention to him.

"The sinner Yang Zhengdao is here to surrender to the Great Donna."

Yang Zhengdao said again, and at this time, he changed his title, after he shouted like this, he raised his head slightly and glanced at Li Jing, at this time, Li Jing's expression was a little better than just now, but he was still a little angry.

"As a Han Chinese, but willing to take refuge in the Turks, are you guilty?" Li Jing spoke, but after he spoke, he reprimanded and scolded Yang Zhengdao.

Yang Zhengdao first surrendered to the Turks, and now he has surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, if they Datang easily accept him, it will inevitably seem that the Tang Dynasty is too easy to speak, and the Tang Dynasty is too easy to speak, and it is impossible to reflect the majesty of the Tang Dynasty, so it is a necessary process to give Yang Zhengdao some dismount and let him lose a little face.

was reprimanded by Li Jing like this, although Yang Zhengdao was extremely angry and unwilling in his heart, but at this time, he could only hurriedly respond: "Guilt, guilt!" ”

The situation of Li Jing and Yang Zhengdao formed two very sharp contrasts, and the Later Sui courtiers in the back saw that their former monarchs were now being reprimanded like prisoners, and their cheeks were red with anger.

However, in this situation, none of them dared to stand up.

Datang, it's easy to kill them, and the lives of their courtiers are nothing, maybe Datang won't kill Yang Zhengdao, but to kill them, it's not a matter of words?

So now, I can only endure it.

Seeing Yang Zhengdao like this, Li Jing was a little satisfied in his heart, and he nodded: "I don't forgive you, it's my Tang Emperor's business, not my Li Jing's business. ”

Li Jing can reprimand, but it is not okay to directly accept Yang Zhengdao's surrender like this, such a matter of favor must be handed over to Li Shimin, only in this way can the hearts of the people be appeased.

Yang Zhengdao naturally knew this, so he didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Li Jing arranged a place for Yang Zhengdao and them to live temporarily.

After Yang Zhengdao and the others responded, they were taken to the Tang military camp, and their residence was naturally not good in the Turkic royal city, but now, they can only endure it.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and Qin Tian took his soldiers and horses down to rest.
