Chapter 333: Pacifying the Khitan

Sun Wanrong is dead!

As the Khitan leader after Li Qianzhong, this person is also very smart and capable, he once defeated the famous Tang Dynasty general Wang Xiaojie in history, although Wang Xiaojie's failure is also for a reason, but this does not rule out that he is a capable general. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But even if he is capable, in front of the absolute superiority of the Tang Army, in front of the demonic Li Xian, he is so defeated that he has nothing to say, and he is convinced, even if he dies in the end, he can only humiliately ask for forgiveness from the other party first, express his remorse, and then he can commit suicide with a knife, and even if he dies, he hopes that Li Xian, the killing god, can let his clan go.

After Li Xian won this battle, he personally commanded 20,000 cavalry and immediately went to Yingzhou, preparing to occupy the city, which was almost equal to undefended.

Li Xian's army can be described as bloodless along the way, like a bamboo, along the way did not encounter any decent resistance, in fact, in those places that passed along the way, there were already unbearable soldiers and civilians who rose up to resist, after killing those Khitan generals, and then greeted the arrival of Wang Shi in groups, but Li Xian, in order to save time, just let the comfort ambassador Guo Yuanzhen lead the follow-up army, along the way to comfort the soldiers and civilians who came to greet him, but his 20,000 troops were day and night, It only took four days and nights to rush to the city of Yingzhou.

Yingzhou City really became an empty city, only 3,000 old soldiers were stationed in this city, when Li Xian's army came to the city, they didn't react to what was going on, and they didn't even pull the suspension bridge, they were rushed into it by the Tang army.

They were already powerless to resist, and when they saw the Tang Army soldiers descending from the sky, they immediately panicked.

Among them, there are also many Khitan soldiers who are very bloody, but at the moment of their resistance, they were killed on the spot by the Tang soldiers, and these people who dared to resist were cut into pieces without even holding on to a few breaths, such blood and violence made the Khitan veterans no longer able to resist, so they had to throw down their weapons and ask the Tang Army to surrender.

The chief in charge of guarding Yingzhou was Sun Wanrong's son Sun Chengzong, who stubbornly ordered the army to resist, but was captured by two subordinates and handed him over to Li Xian, one of whom was called Li Kaigu and the other was Luo Wucheng.

Li Xian naturally heard of these two people, and knew that these two people were also good generals, and their character was also good, and listening to his few detailed works in the Khitan army, these two people had always disapproved of Li Quanzhong and Sun Wanrong's rebellion, so they were not reused, so Li Xian immediately ordered a heavy reward for the two when Sun Wanrong was sent to him, and at the same time strongly persuaded Sun Chengzong to surrender, but Sun Chengzong was also a man, scolded endlessly, and refused to surrender, Li Xian himself didn't want to leave such a person who had a great hidden danger in the Khitan ethnic group, so he ordered him to be beheaded.

So at this point, Li Xian easily recovered Yingzhou

Before Li Xian went to Yingzhou, he had already ordered his subordinate Zhang Deyu to lead 3,000 people to go to the Khitan tribes with Sun Wanrong's handwritten letter to surrender those Khitans.

In fact, there are only old and weak women and children left in this group, in order to ensure the victory of this battle, Li Quanzhong and Sun Wanrong can be said to have killed chickens and eggs, and all the young and strong people in the clan were conscripted into the army, even the teenagers from fourteen to sixteen years old have not been spared, so there is almost no resistance here, Zhang Deyu according to Li Xian's order, first ordered people to gather the chiefs of the various departments, and then took out Sun Wanrong's handwritten letter, let those chiefs circulate, those chiefs saw Sun Wanrong's strong remorse from the letter, Seeing that Sun Wanrong wanted them to surrender to the Tang Dynasty immediately, they would be loyal to the Tang Dynasty for the rest of their lives, and they must not resist again, otherwise it would be the order of the sinners of the ethnic group, and almost without any hesitation, they ordered their clansmen to come out and ask the Tang army to surrender.

After this battle, the population of the Khitan tribe has plummeted by 30%, and all of them are old people, women and children under the age of 14, so it can be said that there is a shortage of people, and they can no longer defend their tribe, in this case, their life safety is in question now, let alone their future life.

On the one hand, Zhang Deyu led the army to garrison the Khitan garrison, and on the other hand, he also sent a letter to Li Xian for help, hoping that Li Xian could come up with a solution to the problem.

Unexpectedly, his people had not yet returned, so they saw that Li Xian had sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that he had already submitted a letter to the emperor, and he believed that an official order would be issued soon.

Sure enough, less than half a month later, the edict came down, requiring tens of thousands of immigrants from nearby Pingzhou, Jizhou, Zhaozhou, Jizhou and other places to the Khitan hometown, allowing mutual marriage, land reclamation, and the imperial court announced that all those who immigrated to the Khitan hometown would be exempted from five-year tax. Later, Guo Yuanzhen was appointed as the governor of Yingzhou, and was fully responsible for the government affairs and immigration affairs of the Khitan hometown.

In fact, those Khitan people originally did not want the people of the Tang Dynasty to immigrate to them, but because the Khitan were all old and weak, women and children, there were almost no men between the ages of fourteen and sixty, and they really needed a lot of labor to supplement them, and they also knew that the orders of the Tang Dynasty could not be disobeyed at all, so they had no choice but to agree.

It's just that they didn't know that after the arrival of the people of the Tang Dynasty, through marriage and other means, the Khitan people were quickly assimilated, and in just more than ten years, there were no Khitans in the world.

The same thing happened between the Xi people, in fact, the number of Xi people was not much, just attached to the Khitan, at the same time as the battle of the East Kip Stone Valley, Guo Yuanzhen led the army to quickly break through the defense line of the Xi people, and the Xi people, who were not very high in combat effectiveness, immediately announced their surrender, and then Li Xian also adopted the same immigration policy, immigrating a part of the Xi people to the interior, and immigrating a part of the Tang people to the Xi tribe, and it took more than ten years to completely assimilate the Xi people.

When the news of Li Xian's army quelling the Khitan and Xi rebellions came, the government and the opposition were naturally jubilant, and when Gaozong heard the news, even his illness seemed to be much lighter, and he immediately issued an order to reward the meritorious soldiers, and at the same time to reward the crown prince Li Xian, Li Xian's prestige was unmatched for a while.

And Da Zuorong was shocked in his heart, this fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy was really a genius, and he formed a powerful alliance against the Tang Dynasty, but he didn't expect that when the alliance army was victorious, the alliance between the Khitan and the Xi people was completely defeated by the army led by Li Xian, which made his tribe directly face the threat of the army under Li Xian's command, and at the same time, he was also attacked by Li Xian and Xue Rengui, two famous generals, which can be said to have fundamentally changed the situation of the battlefield.

However, Da Zuorong did not give in, but the fire of war ignited in his chest, and ordered the army to immediately attack Li Xian's Yingzhou.

"I want to meet this first military god of the Tang Dynasty who was blown into the sky for a while, and this time I must avenge my father!" The young man looked in the direction of Yingzhou and said silently. (To be continued.) )
