"This, Your Majesty, Weichen has been entrusted with the responsibility of letting Jieli Khan escape, he is already guilty, how can he dare to receive His Majesty's reward?" After the war, Ma Chao saw Liu He with a look of shame.

However, Liu He smiled and said: "Jieli Khan is just a waste, not worth mentioning at all, only that brother Shuhan is still a character, but now the Turks have been greatly injured, and their subordinate tribes Tiele, Shatuo, and Dzungar have also suffered heavy losses, especially Shatuo and Dzungar Tribes, the troops are almost exhausted, and the most important thing is that there is no outstanding person to lead the clan, and there is no difference between the extermination of the Turkic tribe in this case?" I suspect that the most likely thing for them is to surrender to Genghis Khan in the north, and from then on, as long as you lead the army to garrison, the Silk Road can be reopened, but before that, I must first defeat the Qiang people and completely remove the threat from the west. ”

"This, this, thank you for your understanding, but the reward Weichen has no face to ask for it again, and I ask Your Majesty to take back his life." Although Ma Chao expressed his gratitude for Liu He's impunity, he resolutely rejected Liu He's order to be rewarded.

However, Liu He said in a deep voice: "Meng Qi, do you think that these rewards are given by me for your sake? You are wrong, my reward is awarded to meritorious soldiers, these soldiers have made meritorious contributions, and they deserve to be rewarded, if it is just because you did not kill Jieli Khan and let them not get the reward they deserve, then how chilling the soldiers should be, so this time the reward must be issued, and it must be issued in sufficient amount, not to chill any meritorious soldier, nor to let any soldier who should not receive more rewards receive more, this is what a general should do, not to chill the soldiers for the so-called crime! ”

"No, the last general knows, the last general will never do this again in the future, and please rest assured that the last general will thank Your Majesty for the reward on behalf of those meritorious soldiers."

"Hehe, what is there to thank for this, if you want to thank them, it should be me to say thank you to them, it is their bloody struggle that has ensured the society of my great Han, these rewards are the reward they deserve, not my grace."

When Liu He said this, he sighed silently, and said in a deep voice: "We must ensure that the bereavement pensions for the dead or seriously injured soldiers are in place, I will never allow anyone to dare to covet the rewards and bereavements of the front-line soldiers, even if he is greedy for a penny, he must be punished with capital punishment, no matter what his identity or relationship, he will never be forgiven!" ”

Early the next morning, in the big tent in Gu Zangcheng, Xu Huang entered the account and personally reported the battle situation to Liu He, and then hesitated slightly, but still said to Liu He: "Your Majesty, the leader of the Dzungar Department, Ese Yin, is still waiting to be disposed of, I don't know whether to kill or release?" ”

"Hehe, I almost forgot about him." After Liu He finished speaking, he thought for a while, and then said to Xu Huang: "In this way, you go and call him into the account, I want to take a look at the person, if he is really loyal to my Han, then he might as well let him go, but if he is only obedient on the surface, in fact, he is still unconvinced in his heart, then he will be destroyed by the entire Dzungar Department." ”

"No." Xu Huang took the order and left, but in his heart he secretly mourned for those who dared to resist, and at the same time hoped that this Se Yin could be a little more interesting and loyal to the big man, otherwise he would definitely not be able to run to death.

No matter what, after all, this is Xu Huang's captive person, if he is not loyal, it also means that Xu Huang does not know anyone. So Xu Huang still hopes that this person can be loyal to the Han.

After a while, an old man dressed as a Hu man walked in from outside the tent, and after seeing Liu He, he quickly knelt down and saluted respectfully: "The little old man has seen the wise and martial Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and he thanked the Emperor of the Han Dynasty for his grace of not killing." ”

Liu He said lightly: "Ese Yin, are you guilty?" ”

"The little old man is guilty, but the little old man is also wronged, back to Your Majesty, in fact, when they started the army, the little old man was against it, the little old man was originally a businessman, back and forth between the Han and the big Wan, by the favor of the big Han, and also made some small fortune, but suddenly, in our group came a Nanhua old fairy, claiming to have a wonderful technique to let us be reborn, one step to the sky, many ambitious people all accepted the old fairy's magic skills, and then became a great character, the little old man did not participate at that time, However, those people took a fancy to Xiao Lao'er's property, and they were not forced to let Xiao Lao'er accept the magic of the old fairy, and the little old man was forced to be helpless, so he accepted it, although the little old man's ability did not grow much, the little girl was favored by the old fairy, became a peerless beauty, and was full of fragrance, but please tell the truth, my little girl's appearance is not bad, but there is no effect of the fragrance all over the body, hehe......"

When Ese Yin said this, he was quite complacent, but when he saw Liu He's cold gaze, he shuddered for a moment, and then continued: "Although my father and daughter have been given magical techniques, they are not valued because their own abilities have not changed much, and they have not reached the second-rate or above standard in the mouth of the old immortal, so they are not taken seriously, and they have not sworn allegiance to the old immortal like others, so they are actually not their people. ”

In fact, at this time, Liu He gradually understood the means of Nanhua Laoxian to create foreign generals, under normal circumstances, the more his ability is improved, the higher his loyalty to Nanhua Laoxian, and the ability to improve is limited, and his loyalty is naturally very limited, and he has already detected his attributes when Ese Yin just came in, and found that this person is just a third-rate internal affairs talent, and his loyalty has dropped to 20, and his favorability towards Liu He has risen to 200, as long as such a character surrenders, his loyalty will immediately rise to 200.

"If this man is loyal to me, why should I have to kill them all? Why don't you continue to implement my assimilation policy, as long as my people are completely assimilated with my Han people, the final result will not be the same? ”

Liu He nodded, and then said to Ese Yin: "I can allow your clan to surrender, but it depends on whether you are really loyal to my Han, as long as your clan can show enough sincerity, I can also consider allowing you to surrender." ”

"Please rest assured by the Son of Heaven at this point, our clan has always been loyal to the Han Dynasty, as long as the Son of Heaven points in the direction, Xiao Lao'er will definitely do so, and there will be no hesitation." Seeing that Liu He was a little moved, Ese Yin knew that his clansmen had a chance to be saved, and hurriedly spoke.

"How many young people are left in your tribe? How many of them are men and how many are women? You always know this, Patriarch Yin, right? Liu He looked at Eseyin and asked slowly.

"Yes, yes, I know that before this war, all the young men of our clan who were over fourteen years old and under sixty years old were all in the army, in fact, not only my Dzungar tribe, but also other tribes are similar, and it is precisely because of this that our tribe has gathered enough eight thousand people, but after this war, eight thousand people are left with these one hundred and ten old, weak, sick and disabled, almost useless, and now there are five or six thousand young and strong people in our clan, most of whom are women, and the men are almost dead."

When Ese Yin said this, he felt inexplicably nervous in his heart, for fear that Liu He, the son of heaven, would slaughter his clan in anger and snatch all the women.

"As long as I can keep the children in the clan and prevent those women from being used as prostitutes, I will accept any conditions, even if I am made a slave." Ese Yin sighed secretly and thought silently.
