"Generals from all walks of life, prepare to march!" Li Jing shouted.

With the order of Li Jing, the general manager of the march, the generals and their soldiers crossed the steppe one after another, and then entered the Turkic territory. The Turks have gradually withdrawn from the border passes, hoping to delay the march of the Tang army through the cold weather on the steppe and the huge places. The grassland can be said to be full of crises, once you enter the grassland, you can't find a water source in time, that's the most fatal. Although food can be carried casually, water is a very precious thing, and if there is no water, I am afraid that the soldiers will die. If it was fighting in the Central Plains, everyone would be worried about food, not water. But when you get to the grassland, don't look at the green grass and blue sky, but most of the water is undrinkable. The importance of water sources in the grasslands can lead to vendettas between tribes. Therefore, the Turks also hoped to take advantage of the fact that the Tang army was not familiar with geography and drove the Tang army out of the grassland.

And they didn't know at all that although the Turkic steppe was still quite large, the Tang army already had a suitable guide, so they didn't have to worry about going to a place that was not suitable for human survival. And these Turks who have taken refuge in them will also become a "leading party" to help the Tang army to find water sources, so that the Tang army can quickly replenish water sources.

"General, this is the grassland topographic map we have drawn over the years, as well as the water source map. These are the most precious things on our grassland, please accept them! Stubbornness said to Chen Fei.

And Li Jing also said: "Hahahaha, with this grassland topographic map and grassland water source map." Then we can be regarded as 100,000 soldiers! With these things, then we don't have to spend a lot of manpower to find water, and then we can all concentrate on fighting the war. Chen Fei. You can accept these two drawings, if you can send people to search for water and food when necessary, then our Datang has sufficient logistics, and we are not afraid of being stabbed by the Turks. ”

"Yes, General Lee!" Chen Fei replied.

This collection of food and water sources was in charge of Chen Fei, a logistics officer, so he was able to collect a lot of corresponding materials very quickly. These supplies will be continuously supplied to the front-line troops for combat. Then it can maintain a steady stream of the army's supply needs. With these things, the Tang army is not afraid of any difficulties when fighting on the grassland. In this grassland, the greatest difficulty is food and water. Now these two problems are solved. That can be said to be more than half of the success of the attack on the Turks.

"Take 3,000 of you, and we're going to occupy all the water sources everywhere!" Chen Fei said.

Chen Fei immediately ordered 3,000 men, and then prepared to go north of the Great Wall to occupy the territory of these Turks.

"General. It is the only river in the vicinity. And the water is very clear and can be drunk directly. And there are some fish in there that we can catch for food when necessary. A Turk said.

This Turkic is also the one who took refuge in the Tang Dynasty, and he is one of those first captives. He has been scared by the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, because the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty is actually stronger than them, and they have lost almost ninety percent of the soldiers, but the people of the Tang Dynasty have lost less than dozens of people, which is simply against the sky. And in the eyes of these ordinary Turks. There is no doubt about the strength of Datang, so they have all chosen to join Datang. In exchange for the capital to survive.

For the Turks, and even the vast majority of nomadic peoples, this is the way of thinking, once the Central Plains people are strong, they will also submit, this is nothing for them. And in their tribe's war thinking, it is also normal for small tribes to submit to large tribes. So it's understandable that they're doing that. In their eyes, the Tang Dynasty is also a big tribe, and there is nothing wrong with surrendering after they fail. As for them, although they do not kill men who are taller than the wheels, they are all possible as slaves. They were all very conscious, and then took the initiative to lead the Tang army to find water sources.

"It's good, it's teachable!" Chen Fei said.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh!"

The Turkic man obviously didn't quite understand what Chen Fei meant by "a son can be taught", but he knew that this Tang Dynasty officer admired him very much. And he also felt a burst of joy, because as long as this person can afford him, then he will definitely get a lot of benefits in the future.

Chen Fei looked at this kneeling and licking appearance, and he was also a little speechless. When you are strong, they will take the initiative to surrender to you, and when you are weak, they will be the first to come up and bite you, and then make you feel painful. And when you are strong again, they will be your turtle grandsons again, like loyal lackeys. This kind of person can never be influenced by benevolence, and their thinking has not yet reached that level.

"Next, to instill in them that some Turks are cheap. kind of thinking, so that they will all be able to really be a dog. When the Song Dynasty was in place, it was successful. During the Song Dynasty, the Han culture reached its peak, and those devils did not hesitate to come to the Central Plains to carry out the so-called 'degree of cultivation', competing for cuckolding. It seems that we can all learn from it, as long as we can instill in these Turks the idea that the Turks are a cheap race, then they will all compete to marry their daughters to the Han Chinese, so that it will not take a few generations, and the Turks will die out. For these Hu people, they must not be used to it. Otherwise, they'll definitely kick their noses in the face. Chen Fei thought.

Chen Fei felt that the ethnic policy of the Tang Dynasty was still good, but they adopted a slightly discriminatory policy for those ethnic minorities, forcing them to carry out sinicization. In this way, those foreigners can take pride in being a Han Chinese and take the initiative to naturalize the Han people. As for the fact that more than 1,000 years later, special rights have been given to some ethnic minorities, but on the contrary, many ethnic groups have felt that they have been discriminated against. As a result, in the end, some people are actually proud of being a minority, who is naturalizing whom?

Therefore, the gap is in this, which makes it very obvious that the ethnic policy of the Tang Dynasty is obviously more conducive to the unification of the national structure and further safeguarding the unity of the country. (To be continued......)
