Chapter 146: Under the Qin Banner
It has gradually become clear, the end of the desert, is the rising red sun, the grassland coalition army under the drive of the respective leaders rushed to the Red Cloud Mountain, which was not far away, where the pillar of smoke that had been burning all night quietly dissipated in the wind, no one knew what happened there, they only knew that a Great Qin general led a hundred people deep into the lair of the bandit Bantianyun.
In front of Hongyun Mountain, Li Ang sat quietly in a chair, beside him was Murong Ke and others who were standing quietly, looking at the smoke and dust raised in the distance, he looked at the respectful horse thief leader on the other side, and said lightly, "Put up a flag!" ”
"Yes, General." The leader of the horse thieves replied, trotted into the distance, and beckoned his subordinates to pull up the banner of Qin characters written by Li Ang, and as more than a dozen horse thieves struggled to pull up the huge wooden pole, the banner with only one word 'Qin' fluttered in the morning breeze, showing to the four fields that this desert was the territory of the Qin Empire.
Dugu Xiao and those dart riders looked at the simple banner that only wrote the word 'Qin', and had a strange feeling in their hearts, I don't know why, when they saw this flag, they only felt that those dead brothers died last night not in vain, their fight was also worth it, fighting for Daqin, even if they died, they died well!
In the galloping steppe coalition army, several leaders who recognized Chinese characters were stunned when they saw the banner erected, they did not expect that the terrible young general would really lead a hundred men to subdue nearly two thousand horse thieves. Such martial arts made them fear from body to heart, and the black myth that had been silent for thirty years descended on the desert again. And they are witnesses to this myth.
Every soldier of the Prairie Coalition could not forget the scene they saw, the black horse thief on the black flag on a white background. No one dared to face the humble banner, in front of that banner, the black-clothed Great Qin General was sitting like that, beside him were black soldiers, there were only a few dozen of them, but they made more than a thousand horse thieves behind him kneel.
The Prairie Coalition stopped. They jumped down from their horses, led by the leaders, and led their horses to the Great Qin Land General, kneeling down with the leaders, prostrate under the banner, their eyes full of awe.
Fifteen leaders followed Iron Wing up to Leon and kissed his boots in submission. Leon stretched his iron wings and said to the heads, "From now on." The Tieyan Department is the Han Min, and I will report to the imperial court. Ask for credit for the Tieyan Department to reward them for their loyalty to Great Qin. Listening to Leon's words, the leaders looked at Iron Wing with envy and jealousy.
Tie Yi himself couldn't believe it, but he soon came to his senses, and used any beautiful and humble words he knew about his loyalty to Great Qin, and his performance made the heads of the people feel uncomfortable. Pantothenic acid is very good.
Leon turned to look at the kneeling horse thieves and said in a loud voice, "You have chosen the right path, and I have decided to pardon you." ”
Hearing Li Angdi's words, those horse thieves cheered in the relay of their partners who could understand Chinese, and when they saw the grassland alliance land, they were afraid in their hearts whether this Great Qin general would break his promise, but the facts once again proved that the Great Qin general would never break his word. They don't have to die.
The steppe coalition army was stationed outside Hongyun Mountain, and the leaders of the various departments began to curry favor with Iron Wing. Everyone knows that the Tieyan Department will become the upstart of the desert, and they can't speak to that Great Qin general, so they can only hug the Tieyan Ministry, the big tree in the future.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Ang looked at the leader of the horse thieves who was a little uneasy, and said to him, "Sit down!" "If it weren't for this horse thief leader last night, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been so smooth for the rest of the horse thieves to surrender.
"Xiaodi doesn't dare, how can there be a small one to sit in front of the general, and the small one is better to stand." The leader of the horse thieves said cautiously, he didn't know what the terrible young general in front of him was going to do.
"Do you want to work for Daqin, fight for Han nationality in the future, and no longer be a barbarian." Li Ang glanced at the leader of the horse thieves who were sincerely frightened, and asked quietly, in the desert, Tiele's power has swelled too much recently, although they are now fighting the Turkic western front for the Great Qin and the Uighurs, but Li Ang is not at ease, as a soldier, the interests of the country will always come first.
"Yes, of course." Hearing Li Ang's question, the leader of the horse thieves hurriedly said, to be honest, who in the desert doesn't want to become a Han citizen, if those big horse thieves didn't have a way, they would have spent money to get a Han nationality a long time ago, and took the thieves' stolen goods to Daqin to enjoy happiness.
"I'll give you a chance." Li Ang looked at the leader of the horse thieves with a longing face, and said to him, "All those people left in the land of Bantianyun will be under your control in the future, and I will ask the court for the number of a few servant armies, and then count you one." ”
"The general is saying that Xiaodi will be the servant army of the Great Qin Army in the future." The horse thief was a little stupid when he heard it, this time he went from a thief to a soldier, although he was only a servant army, but in this desert, it was a great thing to become a servant army of Great Qin.
"Yes, if you do a good job, it is not impossible to go to the Great Qin Legion in the future, how about it, have you thought about it?" Leon glanced at the somewhat stupid horse thief leader and asked in a deep voice.
"Willing, willing, little willing." The leader of the horse thieves hurriedly replied loudly, only a fool would let go of such a road to heaven, who in this world would be willing to be a thief for a lifetime.
"You go down first, and organize all your men." Li Ang glanced at the leader of the horse thieves who was grateful to Dade, waved him away, and then looked at Chen Lang, who had been standing beside him.
"Master Li, do you want to co-opt these horse thieves?" Looking at Li Ang, Chen Lang became more and more unpredictable about this calm and terrifying young general, and he found that he couldn't guess his mind at all.
"The master of this desert can always only be Daqin, don't you think it's been too chaotic here over the years?" Li Ang glanced at Chen Lang, who wanted to stop talking, and said quietly, "I will write to the military hall and build a city and a mansion in the desert, do you want to be an official in the future, and no longer run from south to north." In the end, Li Ang looked at Chen Lang, he knew that this person was not willing to be a businessman for the rest of his life.
"I want to serve the general." Chen Lang is a person who understands, and Li Ang's conditions are also something he can't refuse. Officials and merchants, although businessmen have money. But it is always inferior to the power of officials.
"I will stay here for three months, waiting for news from the imperial court, I am afraid that I will have to requisition a lot of the goods of your cargo fleet, for future use, you had better order someone to purchase some more." Leon said lightly, he
The former people don't care about the little money.
Wait until Chen Lang leaves the big tent. Li Ang picked up the pen and paper and began to write a concerto, history has changed too much, the Xiongnu were driven into Europe in advance, the Turks rose more than two hundred years earlier, God knows whether Tieler, who has recently expanded greatly in the desert, will become the second Turk in the future, for various considerations, he must write this concerto, before the Tiele people become the veritable overlord of the desert, suppress this trend.
If it's the wind and frost or the king of Qiling. With her local talents, she will definitely be able to lead the Uighurs against Tieler. Thinking of the war on the Western Front and the Turks, Leon put down his pen and thought of Lin Fengshuang, who had become his wife, and that the Uighurs had been greatly damaged in a year compared to the almost incalculable losses of the Tiele people. This is also what makes him suspicious of Tieler.
"Tieler, whether you are loyal or not, this is my duty." Looking at the finished recital, after Li Ang gently closed it, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and although the practice of killing mistakes and refusing to let go was cruel, it also worked very well, and it was better to prevent problems before they happen, and it was not too much to do.
"Snow Tiger. You and Ah Guang send this piece to Rizhao. Walking out of the tent, Li Ang summoned Murong Ke and Hu Luguang.
"Big brother. This is? Looking at the paperwork that Li Ang handed to him, Murong Ke hesitated a little, he didn't understand what Li Ang meant by letting him go to Wanzhou, their task should be to go to the Turks to assassinate Luo Khan.
"This desert is not as peaceful as it seems, Chuluo Khan is just a barbarian chieftain, and if he wants his life, there is no need to rush for a while." Li Ang smiled and said, "If you have time on the road, you can also take a look at this movement." ”
After Murong Ke left with Hu Luguang, Li Ang called Huang Yuan and Dugu Xiao to the tent and told him his views on the situation in the desert, "In short, I estimate that Chang'an will reply to me in three months, before that, I will first exterminate all the horse thieves in the desert, and by the way, form a tribal army loyal to Daqin." ”
"My lord, do you want to mix those horse thieves with the people and horses of various tribes and train them?" Huang Yuan was stunned, and then understood that Li Ang wanted to disrupt and rebuild the various tribes in the desert by suppressing bandits, and then the imperial court would establish administrative regions here, impose effective rule, and promote sinicization.
"Yes, I'll leave the training to you, and I'll go out in three months, but I'd like to see an army." Li Ang looked at Dugu Xiao and said, he decided to train here, and by the way, he would temper these newly received darts under his tent.
"Whoa!" Huang Yuan and Dugu Xiao replied loudly, with excitement in their eyes, although they only trained tribal soldiers in the desert, how could they get over the addiction of military training, and they would have some experience in the future.
"Remember, as long as they have the discipline of the army and can command well, don't hand over other things to them." Looking at Huang Yuan and Dugu Xiao's expressions, Li Ang knew what they were thinking, and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, my lord's command, we understand." Huang Yuan and Dugu Xiao were just stunned for a moment, and then they understood what Li Ang meant, training these tribal soldiers, there is no need to make them too strong, there are some things that cannot be taught to them even if they are killed.
"Just understand, go ahead!" Li Ang waved his hand and said, he has already done what he should do, and now it depends on how the chief and the big Sima look at the ground after his recital arrives at the military hall.
At night, when Li Ang relied on the powerful power he had built up in the past few days in the big tent, he subdued all the leaders in one fell swoop, and made them agree to mix their subordinates and establish a new coalition army, but in return, Li Ang called on the goods in Chen Lang's caravan and gave them as a reward to these leaders who had never seen the world. Under the combination of grace and power, these leaders did not have any bad intentions in their hearts, anyway, for them, if they could lean on the big tree of Leon, it didn't matter if they were not this head.
Outside Hongyun Mountain, Huang Yuan and Dugu Xiao began to take the group of surviving dart soldiers to start training the mixed tribal soldiers, they completely followed Li Ang's orders, only carried out discipline training, and trained them how to walk, how to sit, how to eat, and how to fold quilts according to the standard queue of the Great Qin army.
"Look at you, whether you are out of shape, whether you sit or not, you are also worthy of being my Daqin's servant army." Looking at those tribal soldiers who had been practicing for half a month and were still crooked, Dugu Xiao jumped to his feet and scolded, he never thought that these tribal soldiers were so casual in nature, and it was almost impossible to let them understand that orders were above all else.
Compared with Dugu Xiao's impatience, Huang Yuan is much calmer, as an officer from the regular army of Daqin, he is much stronger than Dugu Xiao in training, but his training methods are also very cruel, he can't walk in the queue well, and those who can't remember the password will be punished heavily, and for those who perform well, he will not hesitate to reward.
On the top of the mountain, looking at the tribal soldiers trained on both sides, Li Ang couldn't help but shake his head, Dugu and those dart soldiers were still too heavy, and they didn't know how to govern the army at all, but he didn't intend to let Huang Yuan teach them what to do, some things had to be corrected by themselves to be much more effective.
Walking down the hill, Li Ang looked at another place, he asked the Tieyan tribe and those tribes who were willing to join to build a city outside Hongyun Mountain, within three months, he hoped to have a slightly larger city out, which could be used for the purpose of gathering food for the troops.
"My lord, I caught a few more small works." Just when Li Ang looked at the lively scene on the place where the city was built, Feng Sha and Tule led a few former horse thief soldiers to escort a few people, kicking and beating over, since he wiped out the clouds for a long time, the name of the desert, all horse thieves were frightened, and sent their spies to investigate.
"Go back and tell you who are in charge, I will give them three months, and they will belong in three months, and I will not blame the past, and after three months, whoever is still doing this horse thief's business in the desert, I will slaughter them all, and I will not show mercy." Looking at those horse thieves, Li Ang said expressionlessly, and then asked Feng Sha to kill the rest of the spies, and hang their heads outside the coalition camp, leaving only one alive to go back to deliver the message.
With the strength of Li Ang, and the more outrageous rumors, more small tribes began to defect to Hongyun Mountain, and the strength of the coalition army also increased, and the number of soldiers reached 20,000 after deducting those who were transferred to build the city.
