Chapter 385: Li Jing Won the Battle
Three days passed before I knew it.
When Cheng Chumo pressed Jieli Khan back to Yinshan, the Turkic tribes had already surrounded him, and they had the momentum to directly eat the Tang army.
Li Jing did not choose to withdraw the army, and now that Jieli Khan is in his hands, he can use Jieli Khan to divide the Turks into various parts, and then break them in each one.
Capture the thief and capture the king first, he has now caught Jieli, and this war has already won half of it!
Sure enough, the Turkic tribes were not united, and after Jieli was captured, several of them retreated, and the remaining few troops were also their own masters, and they were not the opponents of the Tang army at all, and they were soon broken by Li Jing's army.
The peoples on the steppe have always been mercenary, in the current sentence, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests, the Turks were defeated, and those tribes that were originally dependent on the Turks immediately ran to the Tang Dynasty.
Sandwiched between two big countries, they can only be wallgrass!
In three days, the news of Li Jing's victory had already been transmitted back to Shuofang City, and when Zhang Yi heard the news, he was not too happy.
Although Li Jing won a big victory, this time he offended too many people, so that not many generals in the Tang Army were willing to deal with him.
Fortunately, Li Jing offended so many people, otherwise, he would have left Shuofang City, the most important base of the Tang Army, and ran to Yinshan, and this alone would be enough to lose his head.
At that time, even if Li Jing joins him, there will be many generals in the Tang army who will come out to protect him, especially Tang Peng's father and son, not to mention Cheng Chumo and Niu Jinda.
Zhang Yi closed his eyes and squinted for a while, and then spoke to Yue 11 and Lao Zhong behind him. "This Manager Li has won, let's also prepare to pack up and go back to Chang'an!"
In fact, there are 100,000 people in his heart who are unwilling to go back, although Chang'an has Zhangjiazhuang, Li Hui, Zhang Xiang, and many people he misses, but if he goes back, he has to face a problem that must be faced.
That's what happened to him and the princess Yang Su of the previous dynasty.
This matter is inevitable, he has to face it, and now that Yang Su is at his residence, he has no intention of leaving.
"It's a headache." Thinking about this large number of things, Zhang Yi couldn't help but rub his temples.
Even if he encountered something difficult before, Zhang Yi never felt so headache.
Now our great Majesty Li Er, but his father-in-law, he still has a wife at home, and he is pregnant, so he ran out to mess around, and when he went back, no matter what excuse, he probably had to be picked up by his father-in-law.
"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, let's face it calmly!"
It's useless to think about it now, so Zhang Yi simply doesn't think about it, anyway, it will be half a month before he returns to Chang'an.
The next thing to think about is how to do a good job of rewarding the army, Li Jing led the victorious army back, and he was guarding Shuofang City in the rear, and he must prepare some cattle and sheep to reward the army.
"On the eleventh day of the month, you go and make arrangements, let Wang Wu and them prepare, prepare some of the cattle and sheep we caught during this time, and when the army returns, slaughter the army immediately!"
After receiving the order, Yue 11 arched his hand and left.
And Zhang Yi's eyes were still looking in the direction of Yin Mountain.
Li Jing won this war, and he would inevitably capture many prisoners, and I don't know if he would kill these prisoners or capture them back.
If Li Jing can bring those captives back, then Zhang Yi will have an excuse to drag it out here and return to Chang'an later.
And he is not exactly delaying time at the border, those captives will be of great use in his hands, if he solves it well, he can even make His Majesty Li Er Long Yan happy, and it is not impossible to avoid his own sins!
You must know that these prisoners are of no use in the hands of the Tang Army, not only do they have to spend a lot of money to support them and provide them with food and drink, but also spend a lot of manpower to watch them and serve them, and even sometimes they riot, and some Tang Army soldiers will die for no reason.
In short, in the hearts of the soldiers of the Tang Army, these captives were only a complete burden in addition to military merits.
Therefore, after many Tang troops captured the Turks and received military merits, they either killed them or put them back, and when they needed military merits in the future, they were going to catch a batch of them back.
Especially in the eyes of the officers of the Tang Army, these prisoners were just rice buckets that would only consume their grain and grass.
But in the hands of Zhang Yi, their role is great, once the labor reform system is carried forward, then, a large number of prisoners, can help the Tang Dynasty to develop the Hetao area.
You must know that the Hetao area is very fertile, although it has been fought for many years, but the land here is really not said, once it is developed, it will definitely be a great thing for Datang.
Now Li Er is preparing to implement the tunbao system proposed by Zhang Yi in the Hetao area, which requires a large number of people to cultivate and graze, and Zhang Yi does not want those regular army soldiers to pick up hoes to plow the fields and herd sheep, so these captives are the best choice.
At that time, these captives will not only be able to cultivate and feed themselves, but they will even be able to leave some surplus for the Tang Dynasty, and most importantly, they will be able to develop the Hetao without much effort.
After this operation, the Tunpu system will be regarded as a real scale, and in the future, it will be much more convenient for Datang to penetrate its tentacles into the grassland.
The key to all this depends on the effect of Zhang Yi.
If Zhang Yi can do this, it will not be too much to ask the great Majesty Li Er for pardon at that time!
Thinking of this, Zhang Yi immediately got up, he needed to go back to his residence to write out all these things, and then list the plans one by one to implement them.
Now that this matter is related to his neck, it is impossible for him not to care.
When he returned to his residence, he saw Yang Su washing clothes for him over there, looking like a little daughter-in-law, which made Zhang Yi stunned.
The princess of a dignified country actually has to wash clothes for herself!
Although Yang Su's purpose was very clear at the beginning, it seemed that since that day, Yang Su had never mentioned the Taiping Technique, nor did she mention anything about the restoration of the Great Sui, as if everything had nothing to do with her, and her current identity was a little daughter-in-law.
However, Yang Su is the best, in this way, Zhang Yi will have a greater confidence that Li Er will pardon his crimes.
