"General Li, I have an idea, that is, from among the Turkic people we captured, recruit some people who are interested in our Datang, and then let them help our Datang to fight. For example, in this Northern Expedition to the Turks, there should be some people who will surrender, so we may be able to recruit some people to join us and let them help us fight. At that time, our casualties will be reduced a lot, and in addition, the Turks are all steppe people, familiar with the terrain, and they are very familiar with the Turks themselves, so we can gain a great advantage. So please take a look at General Lee, can this plan work? Chen Fei asked.

Li Jing thought for a moment, and then asked, "You want them to eat dogs?" ”

"Chen Langzhong, your method is really good, if we can make them all dog-eat-dog, we can all save a lot of energy. Anyway, it's not our people who die, so what do we have to be afraid of? Chen Dade said.

And many people present also agreed, although many generals in ancient times did not feel sorry for the lives of their soldiers, and even many people wanted to use the lives of ordinary soldiers to dye their official hats red. However, they will inevitably all suffer the impact of wind criticism. Therefore, if you want to use other people's blood to dye your own pipe cap, then you can simply use the blood of foreigners to dye it. It would be too wasteful to use one's own life, and the pressure of public opinion and the families of soldiers was not small. Since there are foreigners who come to die for themselves, it is natural to let them come.

If anyone opposes this recruitment of foreign cannon fodder, then I am afraid that whoever is the enemy of everyone. As for the current barracks. There are not many pedantic people who can completely make them accept the idea of this foreigner as cannon fodder. If it were other pedantic literati, it might not be able to accept this situation.

"Chen Langzhong. Do you think there is a great chance that these Turks can be tamed? Whether they will defect on the battlefield or not, then our impact will be multiplied. Li Jing asked.

Li Jing's question is also a problem that everyone is worried about. If these Turks defected on the battlefield, it would be painful for the Tang army. There is a defection on the inside, and that is far more harmful than the outside. The Turks are not terrible, but the sudden defection of the people within themselves is the most terrible. So if you can't convince everyone of these Turks, then I'm afraid it will be very difficult to form this army of Turks.

"I'll start with the ethnic component. The Turks are a nomadic people, and they actually value the tribe and despise the nation. They had a khan, but the khan was only the leader of the largest tribe. They are actually made up of tribes. But their tribes are also in a competitive relationship. Once those tribes encountered danger, they first did not want to huddle together to keep warm, but to rob each other. It's funny to say that they are in such a civilized situation. Once you encounter a danger, the first thing you want to think about is to slaughter your own kind. Then let yourself survive. And the vast majority of us Han people want to get together and then warm up together to get the capital to survive. The Turkic people, these nomadic peoples, also caused them to attach importance to the tribe and did not have much sense of identity with the whole nation. Even if they speak the same language, they are all potential enemies. ”

"And if it was in normal times, they would be able to come south and plunder our Han people when they encountered disasters. But now we Han people are not soft persimmons, and they are now all rebelled by the Xue Yantuo people, which makes it even worse. And this time. They can't alleviate the internal contradictions by plundering our Datang. They have lost the ability to transfer the pressure of survival, and naturally their huge internal contradictions have to be digested internally. But I'm sure. They absolutely can't digest it. Now it is a great snowstorm once in a decade among the Turks, and their grain, cattle and sheep are frozen to death. They have reached a time when they are on the verge of collapse, and we Datang are also thinking about taking advantage of the danger now. ”

"As long as we can play a steady and steady and not rush too easily, then we can gradually divide them. When their internal survival pressure burns their eyebrows, they will also start fighting with each other. And what we have to do at this time is to provide assistance to some small tribes, and then come up with materials to help them, so that we can reorganize their armies again, and then we can form our cannon fodder, as long as they are trying to survive, they can do anything. Not to mention taking refuge in us, they don't have the slightest psychological pressure to take refuge in us. They don't have any national righteousness, so it's very easy for us to use. As long as we can come up with benefits, benefits that allow them to survive, and benefits that allow them to get more benefits, then they will be willing to work for us. ”

"Of course, the concern is also a fact. The vast majority of these Turkic peoples can only be used, not reused. There is also a limit to the number of people we can recruit, and we send some of our Han officers to serve in them, so that we can control them to a large extent. As long as we can get them the higher benefits of war, they will listen to us. If one day the war is over and the horses are released to Nanshan, then we can also cross the river and dismantle the bridge to unload the mill and kill the donkey! ”

Chen Fei said unceremoniously about unloading the mill and killing the donkey and crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, anyway, everyone knows about it. Of course, this unloading and killing of donkeys and crossing the river and demolishing the bridge is not to kill them, but to disband the army and return them to the identity of ordinary people. And their past treatment will be gone, and if they want to get benefits, it depends on their own struggle. They can only rob other people's wealth, and once they don't loot, they have to solve their own future.

"But if we treat them better than our own soldiers, will anyone have an opinion?" Li Jing asked.

Li Jing's question is also an important issue, because if foreign troops are given better treatment, then I am afraid that some people in their own country will have opinions. Will this mean to discriminate against their own people, I am afraid that some people will make a fuss. Therefore, everyone also has some thoughts, after all, their own people are not preferential, so do they still treat foreigners preferentially? This era is not an era in which foreigners are more noble than their own citizens, but this era thinks that their own people are nobler than foreigners, so this kind of better treatment of foreigners is a somewhat inappropriate thing.
