By the time the first rays of the morning sun shone on the steppe, the fires that had burned all night had subsided, and charred tents, broken corpses, scattered cattle and sheep, and nearly a thousand slaves and Turkic captives, women and children were everywhere in fear. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

With the explanations and persuasions of Xie Yingdeng, Gao Cheng, Li Mu and others, all Han slaves accepted Qin Feng as the "new master". The hundreds of Turks who had been converted from masters to slaves were all sad, kneeling on the ground under the eyes of the former slaves and now the Han people, who had turned over as masters.

No one struggled, no one resisted, and on the grassland, it was the norm for powerful tribes to swallow up weak tribes.

Natural selection, the law of the jungle, is the principle that all grassland people have followed for thousands of years.

Today I am a sword, tomorrow I am a fish, this is the innate consciousness of every grassland person.

Looking at the Han Nu who was sitting or kneeling or standing, the black pressure was full of numb faces, cowering eyes, and stiff backs......

Qin Feng smiled helplessly, his soul was gone, and what he was alive was just the shell of a walking corpse, could these people really be counted on?

"These people are hopeless!" Luo Tong had a look of disgust.

Even the grinning Cheng Chumo scolded angrily: "These wastes, when dogs are addicted, this is." ”

"That is, good people are not good, why do you have to be dogs?" Yu Chi Baoqing was also stunned.

In response to everyone's death-like silence.

After a while, Li Yexu suddenly smiled and said, "Whether it's a human or a dog!" The important thing is that they can ride horses and herd. It can help us bring the loot back to the Central Plains. Aren't dogs more obedient than people? ”

Qin Feng's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Servility is not formed in a day or two, nor can it be eliminated in a day or two; This method is good, our troops are already insufficient, if we divide our troops to drive cattle and horses, our combat effectiveness will be scattered, and we will not be able to deal with unexpected situations, and these people are proficient in the way of herding, much better than us. ”

Cheng Chu was silently unconvinced: "Boss, how can you confirm that they are better than us in grazing?" ”

"Those who don't know how to herd are probably going to die long ago. No master needs waste, as was the case with the new army, and not so with the Turks. Luo Tong replied in place of Qin Feng.

Cheng Chumo suddenly realized.

Qin Feng said: "The grassland pursues the rule of the jungle, and the weak have long been eliminated by the harsh environment and others. Well, didn't Li Mu always want to join the new army? Asking him to select a group of young and strong people who are interested in joining the army and being in charge of this group of people is a task given to him and a test of the first step. ”

"I'll see it!"

"Agreed!"

The four of them expressed their stance one after another.

"Li Mu, come over here." Qin Feng beckoned to Li Mu, who couldn't help but look this way.

Li Mu came from Pegasus and said happily: "General Qin, did you promise us to join the army?" "Last night, the Forces nouvelles slaughtered five Turkic tribes without a single person killed.

Such a record made Li Mu's eyes hot.

He let the Turks go to the steppe when he was young, and he didn't know anything about Han culture, but he had the temperament of a steppe people, and he had long admired the fierce, brave, powerful, and mighty new army. He also knew that this "weak scholar" was the person in charge, so Li Mu, who wanted to join the new army, paid attention to Qin Feng from time to time. Now when I heard his call, I was overjoyed.

"I've seen General Qin, General Luo, General Li, General Cheng, and General Wei Chi. Please command, general. Li Mu has the enthusiastic and cheerful personality of the grassland people, and after most of the day, he used his enthusiasm to infect some new troops, and also knew the names of several main generals.

Qin Feng couldn't help but smile and said, "Li Mu, I know you want to join the new army, but not everyone can enter the new army, and among them, you have to go through many tests and selections. I'm not targeting you specifically, if you don't believe me, you can ask a few more New Army soldiers. ”

"I've asked, I've asked." Hearing Qin Feng's tone relieved a lot, Li Mu was overjoyed and said: "I am not afraid of tests and selections, the more fierce the competition, the more cruel the selection can select the best soldiers, I like this kind of army." ”

"Alright! It's still the same sentence: return to the Central Plains and give you the same opportunity. Qin Feng's voice changed and said: "Now I give you a task, you are looking for ambitious, courageous, self-motivated, and willing young and strong people in the crowd to come out, the number of people is determined by you, and my standard is to rather lack than abuse." ”

"Subordinates obey!"

"Can this guy do it?" After Li Mu left, Luo Tong asked.

Qin Feng said: "How do you know if you don't try." Li Mu is only about thirty, but he seems to be the leader of the first batch of fugitive slaves, which shows that he has a certain appeal and leadership level, and the new army needs a large number of such middle-level officers. For those who want to join the new army, Qin Feng has no reason to turn him away, besides, this guy is still a character taught by Xie Yingdeng himself, and there must be a level of force and archery, as long as he is a talent, there is no reason to miss it.

……

"General, I'm back!" Half an hour later, Li Mu panted and ran to his life.

Qin Feng asked, "How many people are eligible?" ”

"General Hui, there are 85 young and strong Han people who can ride horses and shoot arrows and are willing to join the army, including me." Li Mu was very ashamed, among the nearly 1,000 Han people, there were not 300 young and strong, but less than one-third met the requirements, and it was really a bit embarrassing to be one of them.

"Eighty-five...... Not a lot. Qin Feng muttered as he tapped his boots with his horsewhip, "You are temporarily the leader of this group, mainly responsible for protecting the safety of this group of people, and assisting everyone in taking care of this large herd of cattle and horses. ”

Several tribes were destroyed, and countless cattle and horses were obtained. Qin Feng left behind a part of the Turkic people for the purpose of assisting the Han Chinese slaves in managing these livestock. The Manu were guarded by Han Chinese slaves, who found a place to raise their captured cattle, sheep and horses.

The main job of Li Mu and others was to assist the Han people in suppressing a possible Turkic rebellion in a timely manner. Of course, there was also an element of supervising Han slaves, but he didn't know that those Han slaves wouldn't run away at all. Because they have been oppressed by foreigners for a long time, and the grassland is far away from the territory of the Han people, they have developed a submissive character, and those who dare to resist cannot survive at all.

Li Mu's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "General Yu, there are four small tribes of hundreds of people around here, and their combat effectiveness is surprisingly poor, we can completely eat them, plunder their cattle and horses, rescue the Han people, and increase our strength." ”

Qin Feng glanced at Li Mu with slight surprise and nodded approvingly: "Yes, I thought of a piece with me." On the way south, I met the tribe and calmed me, why can the Turks deceive my Han people, and not allow us to take revenge. ”

Li Mu was even more overjoyed, these young men hated the Turkic people who had enslaved them to the core, Qin Feng's plan was almost to his heart

It was also because of Qin Feng's words that the new army became a locust in transit on the way south, leaving the Turks with a scorched earth and a ruin full of bones.

……

And this elusive army, every time it destroys a tribe, it will rescue some Han people who are suffering and enslaved here.

Every day, the team going south will increase a lot of people like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger, more people, more cattle and horses. By the time they approached Shuozhou, the number had reached a terrifying 30,000 people, and there were nearly 50,000 cattle of all kinds.

It was also at this time that the scout sent the news of Chai Shao's victory.

"General, after the defeat of the Turks half a month ago. Tuli and Yi Nan took the opportunity to make trouble, and Jieli led more than 8,000 people, looking north and fleeing. Tuli and Yi Nan followed. In a grassland close to Shuozhou, half a day's journey, the scout reported to Qin Feng.

"Haha...... Good, good, good! The Turks are finally in chaos. Qin Feng laughed, these days, in order to prevent the Turks from thinking of their existence, he could be said to have racked his brains to think of various ways to avoid the Turkic scouts. Now, the Turks are in chaos and have retreated, and the new army can return to the Central Plains openly.

……

"General, the new army Luo Tong asks to see you." In the evening, Chai Shao, who was still busy with post-war work, received news from the new army.

"Please!" Chai Shao was overjoyed, these days, Li Shimin has asked many times. But as soon as the new army left, they disappeared into the desert, and all the Chai Shao who could find it sent people to look for it, but unfortunately they couldn't catch a single hair.

"Stinky boys, you have finally appeared, and you can finally explain to the emperor." was forced by Li Shimin to be anxious, even if he was a gentle and elegant Confucian general, he almost burst into foul language.

A few days ago, the Turks went south, and Chai Shao could not go out of retreat, so as to consume the Turkic spirit. However, every night, he sent troops out of the city to carry out a strategy of exhaustion, and whenever the Turks were about to rest, the Tang army would always take turns to harass them.

After a few days, the Turkic army was exhausted, and when the Turks were accustomed to harassment, Xue Wanjun personally led a large army to attack the Turkic camp at night on a rainy night, and won a hearty victory.

Among them, he ordered the 5,000 cavalry to divide into two teams, disguised as Tuli and Yi Nan soldiers, and attacked the Jieli Tent together. It was Yejieli who suffered heavy losses, and he himself almost died under the chaos of the army, and in a fit of rage, he sent troops to question Tuli and Yi Nan, and wanted to cure the two of them for the great crime of collaborating with the enemy.

Tuli and Yi Nan have had different ambitions for a long time, and then there are "Jieli Army" when they go out to the army, taking the opportunity to burn their own people, and the patience in their hearts has reached a critical point, and the defeated Jieli indiscriminately wants to take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents.

As soon as the two of them combined, after returning to their respective big tents, they simply led the headquarters to attack Jieli's big tent on the left and right flanks. However, Jieli is the Great Khan of the Turks after all, and with the advantage of troops, he stabilized the overall situation with the loss of 20,000 soldiers, and has the momentum of suppressing the Turks and Yi Nan.

Chai Shao, who paid attention to the progress of the situation, knew that once Tuli and Yinan died here, then the Tang Dynasty would be greeted by a Turkic with a unified mind and one heart, and it would be even more difficult to win in the future.

Seeing that things were not going well, Jieli led the army to flee the battlefield.

Tuli and Yi Nan knew the consequences of the tiger's return to the mountain, so the two joined forces and killed in the direction of Jieli's escape, vowing to kill Jieli.

In a hurry, he left without even strategic supplies. In this way, the Tang army became a police officer who washed the ground, and as a result, the military resources of the three Turkic forces fell into the hands of the Tang Dynasty.
