In just a few words, the different fates of tens of thousands of Qiang women and children have been decided.

Li Gongbu nodded again and again: "Yes!" Checkmate! ”

"I will allow you to annex the old and weak tribes who laid down their arms at the last minute, but those warriors need to be killed first. Before you go and collect the women and children, take care of it. ”

"That's exactly how it should be, otherwise it's a problem to keep them." Li Gongbu nodded repeatedly.

"There you go!" Ma Lan waved his hand.

Li Gongbu led the order to go down to the city, and the next moment there was a cry and shouting under the city. The more than 3,000 tribal soldiers who laid down their weapons at the last moment had already been tied up, and now they were surrounded by the Zhangxiong cavalry and slashed indiscriminately, and fell in a pool of blood one by one.

The Dangxiang and Subi warriors, who were also tied up, were frightened, but the Zhangxiong did not pay attention to them after killing the tribal soldiers, and rode out along the road left between the trenches. The Zhangxiong had already gone to clean up the corpse, and the Zhangxiong cavalry quickly rushed out and killed the Tibetan camp in the distance.

"Please forgive us from the Protector of the God of War." A Subi warrior couldn't bear the pressure and suddenly fell to his knees.

The next moment a large part of the city fell to its knees, and all the party leaders and Subians knelt on the ground, begging and begging one after another.

Ma Lan smiled and said a few words to Du Huan, and Du Huan poked his head out of the city and shouted: "Don't worry! My general's net is open, spare your life, and your clansmen can also be saved! ”

He spoke the Tibetan language, that is, the language of the Qiang people, and the Subi and Dangxiang people listened to it, and then they quieted down.

Ma Lan looked at the city, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The Subi tribe and the party tribes are the Qiang tribes closest to the Tang Dynasty, and the Tubo and the Tang Dynasty have been fighting for many years, and these tribes are the vanguard in every battle, and it can be said that the hatred with the Han people is as deep as the sea.

Since the soldiers of the Subi tribe and these 5,000 elite soldiers of the party have fallen into their hands, how can Ma Lu allow them to go back alive. I just said that because I didn't want Li Gongbu to get too much.

If the warriors of these two clans were killed here, the old and weak would certainly be swallowed up by the Zhangxiong people. Zhangxiong is too powerful, and it is not good for Datang.

Any strong Qiang people who are close to Datang must be weakened as much as possible, so as to be in the best interests of Datang.

……

This time, there were nearly 30,000 Qiang people who came with Zhudan, and they had been waiting for the results of the battle in the camp. Seeing the Zhangxiong cavalry under the banner of Dapeng surging like a tide, these Qiang people immediately panicked and fled everywhere in the camp.

What happened last night had made them lose confidence in victory, and now that they had really waited for the news of Zampu's defeat, the Qiang people were even more convinced that the Zhangxiong people had the protection of the ancestor of the Protector of War, and they had no intention of resisting in the face of the Zhangxiong cavalry.

According to Ma Lu's order, Li Gongbu first controlled the situation with cavalry, gathered all the Qiang people together, and then scattered the women and children of various tribes.

There were no women and children with the Dangxiang people this time, and the Subi tribe was closer to Zhangxiong, so four or five thousand women, children, and slaves followed. The people belonging to the Subi tribe were driven aside, and Li Gongpo reassured them a few words, and then drove the women and children of the Bailan and Tuyuhun tribes together, telling them that they would become slaves of the Zhangxiong people.

This is the rule on the plateau, and the women and children of these tribes did not say much, and silently accepted their fate. No tribe on the plateau will treat their own people badly, since the Zhangxiong people with the protection of the ancestor of the Dharma Protector God of War have won, it is also a good choice to join the tribe of the Zhangxiong people, at least they can survive.

This part of the human race is complex, with a total of more than 10,000 people. At this time, the Zhangxiong people had more than 10,000 mouths, although they were all women and children's slaves, but they also greatly made up for the losses of the Zhangxiong people in this battle.

The other part is a very high status of the Luo people, these people are from the Jiangnan and Jiangbei tribes, the first to be annexed by the Xi Buye clan Qiang tribe, and the Xi Buye clan has a very high degree of integration, belonging to the descendants of the Tubo Empire, among which the Wei family and the Wulu family are generations of intermarriage with the Zampu family, is the descendant of the Tubo people. These men, numbering nearly 15,000 men, were driven together after the Zhangxiong had their weapons collected, and then the Zhangxiong's feathered arrows came at them like flying locusts.

The Zhangxiong people have a deep grudge against the Luo people, and Li Gongbu naturally will not let go of this opportunity to weaken the Luo people. Soon all the Tibetans fell, and the ground was covered with corpses.

Such a scene rarely occurs even in wars between the Qiang people. The surrounding Qiang people were too frightened to make a sound when they saw this scene.

The living Qiang people were driven by the Zhangxiong cavalry, and drove the clouds of sheep, horses, and yaks to the outside of the surrendered city. In this battle, the wealth captured was extremely huge, not to mention, there were 60,000 horses of the cavalry alone, and there were countless sheep and yaks.

Due to the existence of the trench, the Tibetan cavalry from afar could only dismount and fight on foot, and the horses brought by them were basically undamaged. These warriors are the most powerful warriors of all races, and the war horses they ride are naturally the best, just these war horses, converted into money, is a huge number.

According to the agreement, the Zhangxiong people got 30% of the sheep, horses and yaks, and the remaining 70% went to the Anxi army. No Zhangxiong questioned this decision, because without the Anxi army, there would have been no such victory as this one. What's more, thirty percent of the wool yak is also a great wealth.

The warriors and women and children of the party were united, and they had no weapons and no wealth. As the losers of the war, they are only glad that they are still alive, and they do not dare to have other delusions at all.

Compared to other tribes, such as the equally powerful Bailan and Tuyuhun, the Suvi and Dangxiang warriors were too lucky. Now that I'm alive, I might have a chance to return home.

Duan Junzi recorded the wealth belonging to the Anxi Army one by one, and smiled from ear to ear. With so much wealth, plus the ones I got before, I should be able to pay for the money I owe to Gao Qianqian's girl.

After the surrender of the city, the women and children of the Zhangxiong people came out of the valley and also came to camp outside the surrendered city. In this battle, too many Zhangxiong men died, and too many Zhangxiong families became remnants. For a while, I don't know how many Qiang women wept in the tent, and there was a cry on the meadow.

Some wept bitterly, others laughed. The Anxi army all withdrew to the surrendered city, a large number of cattle and sheep were put down, the surrendered city was full of the smell of meat, the athletes gathered together and ate and drank openly, and there was jubilation everywhere in the surrendered city.

Ma Ling and several confidants and staff members were also drinking happily in the general's mansion in the city, and at the same time discussing the next move.

"The vault silver city of the Zhangxiong people has more than 600,000 yuan of wealth buried, and I don't know how much wealth there is in the city! If we can go straight this time, I don't have to worry about the use in the next few years! Duan Xiushi drank the most lightly, and after drinking three glasses, his face turned red, and his speech was a little stumbling.

"The gentleman said this! In today's battle, the elite of the Luo people were lost, and we have these 5,000 athletes, and it is not impossible to go down with one drum. Du Huan's eyes also lit up, and he slapped the table and shouted.

Ma Ling drank a glass of wine and looked at Cen Shen with a smile, Cen Shen said with a smile: "Back then, Qinling was a great theory of Tibet, and took advantage of the threat of the great victory to force the Queen of Heaven to uproot the four towns, saying that after the cavalry crossed the White Rock Beach, they could attack the city of Luo in a month. If the general is interested, we might as well try it and see if what Qin Ling said is true. ”

Seeing that these three guys were all eager to try, Ma Lan smiled and said: "Tubo has lost all the elite soldiers this time, but each strong department has its own soldiers and horses, and there are more than one million Qiang people on the entire plateau, and we can't kill the five thousand people cleanly, if the lone army goes too far, once you miss, you will lose all the games." It's good to think about it, but you still have to be cautious. ”

"The general thinks it's not feasible at this time?" Du Huan asked.

Ma Ling shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not that it's impossible, it's just that there is no certainty of victory." We only have this strong army in our hands, we can only win and not lose, and if the Qiang people lose, they can fight again, but I can't afford to lose once. ”

Duan Xiushi sighed: "It's a pity that there are only six hundred Yuanrong crossbows, if five or five thousand athletes are all Yuanrong crossbows in each hand, I am afraid that there will be ten percent certainty of capturing Luo." What the general said is that we should be cautious this time. ”

"It's a pleasure to conquer Logic, but the resistance is too great. The time will come sooner or later when each of the 5,000 athletes will have a Yuan Rong crossbow, and it will not be too late for us to go to Luo again. ”

Ma Ling pointed to the city of Luo on the sand table and said with a smile: "Now that we attack Luo Qi, those wealthy clans in the south and north of the Yangtze River will inevitably share the same hatred, and our resistance will be great." And we are different according to the soldiers, the Xibuye clan has broken off the inheritance, and those wealthy clans will definitely make a big move in order to compete for the Luosome river valleys, and the remote tribes that were originally subjugated by the Xibuye clan will also take the opportunity to rebel, and soon the plateau will be full of smoke. The dead Qiang are the best Qiang people, let them fight around by themselves, and when the people are almost dead, it is not too late for us to clean up the mess. ”

Duan Xiu nodded pragmatically and said in a deep voice: "What the general said is that I am greedy. We can't sit back and watch the Qiang people fight, so we will take the surrendered city as the foundation and join forces vertically and horizontally, and we must let the Qiang people continue to fight. If either side can't hold on, we'll sell something to the other side, and make sure that all of them feel that they have a chance to win. ”

Listening to Duan Xiushi's words, several people were in a cold sweat. If it is really as this humble gentleman said, I am afraid that the Qiang people on the plateau will slowly die.

"Chenggong, you are also black-hearted." Ma Lan said with a smile, "But this is extremely true, we will sell weapons in the surrendered city, and earn back the treasures of various Qiang tribes by the way." It's just that in this way, when the Tang Army finally completely controls this plateau, it may not be us who succeeds. ”

"Does the general care who does this?" Duan Xiushi looked directly at Ma Lan and said loudly.

Ma Ling laughed and took a big gulp of wine.

A person who has been a human being in two lives, his heart is as cold and hard as iron, and he still cares about any credit, but he just says it casually.

Even if there are a few people sitting, although they are all people of fame and fortune, none of them are confused in this kind of major event.

Between the few words, it was the fate planned for the Qiang people on the plateau. Ma Lu drank a glass of wine and laughed loudly: "Qin lost its deer, and the world chased it, and now Luo Qi City is the deer." Let the Qiang people fight for it, my Datang will watch from behind, and in the end they will know that we Tang are real deer hunters! (To be continued.) )
