Chapter 66: The Sweep Returns

The day tamed the black dragon this horse king, all Li De knew or did not know to congratulate him, at the night bonfire everyone let go of the hard drinking and eating meat, Li De also took out his own private collection of drunk Chang'an to share with everyone, the people on the Tang side have already tasted the wine, all shameless stepped forward to rob, Tuli Khan drank a glass curiously, and was immediately captured by the wine, and immediately said that only Li De provided him with wine, he could take the best war horse in exchange, Li De took this opportunity to say that the Tang Dynasty and Tuli reached an alliance, Li De, who opened the mutual market, sent 500 jars of drunken Chang'an wine to the Tuli Khan, one of which was to express the meeting gift of the two sides to reach an alliance, friendship and mutual assistance, and the other was to thank the Tuli Khan for the BMW gifted. Li De didn't want to owe Tuli a favor, so he just took this opportunity. The Turki Khan immediately stated that he would definitely do his best to make it happen, and when he returned to Tuli, he would consult with the leaders of the various tribes. Give Datang an answer as soon as possible. The two sides ate and drank happily. Of course, it is inevitable that there will be people who start to mess around, especially the warriors under the Turki Khan, who want to try Li De's methods, after all, Li De's reputation is now very great, and this personally subdued the horse king, the Turks are born with a good impression of warriors, several Turkic strong men took turns to compete with Li De, and the result is obviously not to blow the dust, Li De beat a few people to the ground in a face, and the people on both sides saw Li De so brave and excited You come and go, and they are very happy.

The next day, Li De rubbed his head and got up slowly, and the guards at the door heard the noise in the tent, and estimated that Li De woke up, so he brought hot water in to wash Li De. After cleaning up, Li De called the guards to go to the wounded barracks, because Su Dingfang and Cheng Chumo had already led the army to sweep the grassland, so as the chief general of the Beiwei Army, Li De did not go to the wounded barracks every day to visit the wounded soldiers, and the three successive major battles of the Beiwei Army were reduced by more than four layers, if it weren't for Li De, Su Dingfang and a group of people would have collapsed long ago, and the general army would have basically lost its combat effectiveness as long as the casualties passed three layers, fortunately, Li De came from later generations, although he was not a doctor, but he had learned first aid for a few days, I have watched a lot of military movies and TV series, and handed over all the battlefield rescue knowledge he knows to the soldiers, trauma hemostasis, pressure bandaging, various ways to use triangular scarves, especially to explain that all personnel must keep the wounded barracks clean, all bandaged wounds should be cleaned with water in advance, and serious ones should be wiped with alcohol, and medical equipment must be boiled in boiling water before they can be used. Let these big-headed soldiers be moved, don't want it, the ancient battlefield cold weapons combat generally deal with the wounded is nothing more than two ways, the first is that the lightly injured will be brought back for treatment, whether they can survive the infection, blood loss, internal injuries depends on their own creation, the second type of seriously injured people do not have this treatment, there are not enough medical conditions to rescue, and there is no extra manpower on the battlefield to see and treat again, so most of the seriously injured are either abandoned, or are made up with two knives to let them die.

At this time, the drum of gathering generals sounded in the camp, and it must have been issued by the general manager Li Jingyou, Li De turned around and walked out of the wounded barracks to the big tent of the Chinese army.

Li Jing said in the big tent, "Everyone, the army sent before has completed the task of sweeping the grassland, and it is not far from the royal court, the general manager is ready to wait for the army to return to the royal court, and Ma Zhou will lead all the civil officials, Sima, and join the army to count the spoils of the army, and General Li Ji will lead the troops to take care of the prisoners, and the Han slaves will also be concentrated to the side to screen, and if they find that the Turkic spies or fish that have slipped through the net, they will be killed immediately, if there is no problem, then start preparing now." ”

All the generals and soldiers left behind in the royal court were in good spirits, waiting for the arrival of the Tang army, and soon the sound of huge horses' hooves came from a distance, slowly getting closer and closer, the soldiers were shocked by the scene in front of them, only to see in front of them, countless horses, cattle and sheep, like a tide, ran towards them, among which a lot of Tang cavalry could be vaguely seen mixed in, as if driving them, and then a large number of Tang cavalry appeared, wandering around the infantry, and the black pressure was full of people, It is impossible to tell whether it is a Hannu or a Turkic captive. , the people and livestock of Wuyang, filled the entire grassland. The mighty came and the momentum was monstrous.

Wei Chigong, Su Dingfang, Cheng Chumo, Zhang Gongjin and other generals ran out of the team one after another and arrived at the royal court first.

Li Jing, Li De, Li Jing, and Li Daozong's left-behind generals waited in front of the camp gate.

"The chief administrator of Qiqi, we have returned from sweeping the grassland, and we hereby hand over the order to the chief manager"

Li Jing guessed in his heart that the loot of this war was about to pile up, and there was no battle in Li Jingrong's life that could be compared with this war victory. "Very well, the generals each led the army back to the camp and counted the spoils. Turkic captives and Hannu were kept under strict guard. ”

"Obedience"

Watching the mighty team being slowly divided into many teams, entering the royal court, it has not been finished from noon to evening, it can be seen that this time the profits are rich, not to mention those Turkic captives and Han slaves are the countless cattle, sheep and horses is a lot of wealth. This can make Ma Zhou sad to death, so many livestock captives, not counting the mountains of grain and grass, but they can be tortured to death by these logistics civil officials, it is good to win the battle, but so many trophies are counted to make them suffer, while happily looking at so many financial reports, their eyes are shining, and the number of hard counts is really too many cramps to count. Later, the scale was used directly, and the scale was as much as it was.

This scene of Tuli Khan also saw in his eyes, so many cattle, sheep, horses and prisoners, let alone give him half, as long as there is a third of him, Tuli will be the overlord of this grassland immediately, and the soldiers and horses will be strong in an instant. It's a pity that he can only watch dryly, he can't see that he can't eat, but he is in a hurry to death.

His subordinates suggested to Tuli, "Khan, I didn't expect the Tang army to do so desperately this time, sweeping away the Turkic tribes in the entire Yin Mountain, fortunately, Khan, you have already prepared to make friends with the Tang Dynasty, otherwise we will not be able to escape such a blow this time, since the Khan Li Jing wants to negotiate an alliance with you, why don't we make some demands to Li Jing, so many cattle and sheep captives as long as they leak out of Li Jing's hands, it is enough for us to eat." ”

Tuli nodded happily and said, "It's good, I'm afraid that I'll bring it up, Li Jing doesn't agree, it's not good to hurt him, although I'm very greedy, but you look at the Tang army in this big camp, but there are a lot of more Tang troops, and I'm afraid I can't please you if you provoke it."

His subordinates thought for a while and continued, "Khan, don't worry, the Han emperors like to sing praises of virtue, as long as you are obedient to him on the surface and show loyalty, the Han emperor will definitely give you benefits, and you will definitely be fine if you make some requests at that time." ”

Tuli thought that it was not impossible for me to take refuge in Datang, but the benefits were not less, so he took his subordinates back to their tents and called his subordinates to discuss.

Tuli said, "Today's scene, you have already seen it, the Tang army is strong, the power swept across the grassland, if it weren't for Ben Khan's quick opportunity, we must also be one of those captives, now the Tang Dynasty is in full swing, Ben Khan decided to take refuge in the Tang Dynasty, it is to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty." Do you have any comments? ”

The leaders of the various tribes under the Turki Khan, after seeing the force of the Tang army, have long rested their thoughts of fighting against the Tang Dynasty, they are also Turkic nobles like the Turks, since the Turkic and Tang Dynasty exchanges, the good things of the Tang Dynasty have not been less into their pockets, and they have long been yearning for the Tang Dynasty, there are better clothes, food, and houses, beautiful women to enjoy, who is willing to fight with this harsh environment on the grassland, you look at the fate of Jieli, in the look at the tribes that follow Jieli that were not destroyed by the powerful Tang army, As a prisoner, after seeing the strong combat effectiveness of the Tang army, the leaders of this gang were deeply shocked, and I wish that Tuli would quickly make an alliance with the Tang Dynasty, and the good things of the Tang Dynasty would be continuously delivered to them, not to mention that now Jieli and its forces have been cleaned up by the Tang Dynasty, and indirectly helped them control the entire grassland. What are the opinions.

"Khan, what I said is, I have no opinion,"

"Yes, yes, Khan is right, let's quickly form an alliance with Datang"

Seeing that he had received everyone's support, Tuli said with satisfaction, "Very good, then Ben Khan will go and discuss with Li Jing." ”

Li Jing, the big tent of the Chinese army, listened to the request of the Tuli Khan, and said that it must be that today's scene completely convinced Tuli, and he must have come to form an alliance.

"I heard that the Khan has something important to discuss with me,"

"The chief manager, Xiao Khan has already discussed with his subordinates and agreed to form an alliance with Datang, but I just hope that Datang can help when the grassland is in turmoil, I don't know if the chief manager may agree."

"Great, as long as an alliance is reached, any conditions can be negotiated. The Khan can speak out. ”

"Thank you Chief, according to your proposal before, our leaders are willing to make friends with Datang, the two sides will make peace and open up a mutual market on the border, we can provide war horses, cattle and sheep in exchange for Datang's wine, tea, ironware, cloth and other daily necessities, in addition, after the general manager of this war on the grassland has been rumored, I implore Datang if he can provide a group of soldiers and horses to help Xiao Khan stabilize the situation on the grassland, this Jieli Khan will inevitably appear a lot of people with a heart, especially the northern Tiele, Xue Yantuo and the others have always been at odds with our Turks, and the strength of the Little Khan alone is not enough to deter them. ”

Li Jing thought about it for a while and said, "The Khan is thoughtful, but this is not a decision that I, the general can make, Khan, please rest assured, I will lead the army back to the Tang Dynasty immediately, and I will tell my request to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible, I believe that with the relationship between the Khan of Tuli and my Emperor, Your Majesty will definitely make this matter happen." Please also ask the Turki Khan to go to Chang'an at that time. ”

Hearing Li Jing's arrangement, Tuli also nodded affirmatively and said yes, as long as the two sides reached a contract, Tuli would bow down to Li Shimin and proclaim himself as a vassal on behalf of the Turks. When the time comes, it will get the support of Datang to stabilize the northern grassland of Datang.
