After every victorious war, there is no more exciting moment than taking stock of the gains of the war.

Because the harvest was too rich this time, and there were not too many civil servants with the army this time, it took a long time to take stock of the harvest, and it was not until the third day after the end of the war that Li Tai received a general statistics of the results.

In this long list of war catches, cattle, horses, sheep and other livestock accounted for a large proportion. The Turks were almost all soldiers and horses, and the number of horses was naturally quite large, and the proportion of fully trained horses that could be used directly as war horses was very high.

Since the Turks themselves did not have a relatively rigorous and systematic statistics of men and horses, even though the battle was over, there was no accurate number of Turks who participated in the battle, and nearly 30,000 people surrendered to the Wei army and were captured, and the number of kills and casualties that could be counted reached more than 10,000.

Considering that the Turkic camps were relatively open and scattered, and the number of people who fled must have been quite large, then the total number of Turks and their servant tribes stationed here was estimated to be nearly 100,000.

This may seem like an exaggeration, but it has something to do with the way the Turks sent their men. First of all, the Khan's direct subordinates were mobilized, and then the envoys were sent to inform the chieftains of all parties to come to the Khan's tent to assemble according to the agreed date, and when the army was dispatched, all the tribes that passed along the way would also follow the expedition, which could be described as a real sweep of the ground.

If some tribes along the way refuse to obey and send troops, then they will become the target of a large army to conquer their resistance without mercy, and then annex and divide up the remaining population and livestock of the tribe. In this way, even some of the tribes that were initially forced to join will become happy.

It is precisely because of this mobilization method that the Turks can easily gather tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops, and in the face of other relatively independent steppe tribes, they naturally have the oppressive force of Mount Tai.

Horses were the main means of transportation and warfare of the Turks, and they were naturally the most important presence in their armies.

Although many horses had escaped in the previous battles, the number that had been collected after the war was also very impressive, and the number was even so large that it was difficult to count, and only a general estimate could be made, and the result was that nearly 200,000 horses were captured, and the proportion of war horses accounted for at least half.

Not to mention other gains, just seeing the statistics of these war horses, Li Tai couldn't help but look at them, and even asked in disbelief, "Are there really so many horses obtained?"

"The exact number is not yet available, but the estimates are conservative, and the exact amount should be a lot more. In addition, the Hubu men and horses who are roaming around the left are also being recalled one after another, and the final number should increase."

Yu Wengui, who was in charge of counting these data, hurriedly said with a smile after hearing this, such a big gain in this battle was far beyond his previous estimate, if it weren't for the numbers he supervised and counted, even he wouldn't dare to believe it.

Although the situation became more and more turbulent in the last years of the Three Kingdoms, the climate gradually warmed up, which also affected the harvest of agricultural and animal husbandry production. Based on this background, the Sui and Tang empires were indeed brilliant and powerful, and the surrounding barbarian forces actually ushered in an explosive period. The Turkic Khanate, which dominated the steppe, was even more powerful than the previous Rouran and other forces, and on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, such an unprecedented unified regime as Tibet appeared.

Today's Turks have preliminarily completed the integration of the north and south of the desert, and the resources at their disposal are also unusually rich. After the death of Ili Khan Ashina Tumen a few years ago, his son Koro succeeded him as Yixiji Khan, when the Turks were not so strong, in order to continue to maintain relations with the Western Wei, they donated 50,000 horses to the Western Wei at one time.

Now the Turkic strength is better than before, and the wooden pole Khan and the Western Wei jointly sent troops to attack the Northern Qi this time, hoping to be able to get rid of the shame, and it is not surprising that the army carries so many resources. However, due to their greed and excessive contempt, these resources were seized by the Western Wei.

The Western Wei Dynasty itself is not short of horses, one is in control of the Longyou Hexi, a high-quality horse source, and also established a large scale of officials and pastors between the Hetao in northern Shaanxi, and the other is in the early days of the establishment of the government military system, the proportion of cavalry in the Western Wei army is not too high, after all, the main body of soldiers from the original Xianbei Town

The soldiers were transformed into today's Kansai powerful troops.

But who thinks there are too many horses? What's more, Li Tai originally had the idea of continuing to expand the army and upgrade the armament, and now these captured horses can be used to continue to expand the scale of Western Wei official herding, and through the crossbreeding of Longma and Saima to cultivate better war horses.

In addition to horses, there were hundreds of thousands of other cattle, sheep and livestock. In the Turkic armies, cattle had to be used as a transportation capacity together with horses, and as a military ration and meat together with sheep. If the journey is too long and the journey is too long, the presence of these cattle and sheep can ensure that the army is well fed, and there are a large number of herdsmen in the army who are responsible for grazing and slaughtering these livestock.

Compared with the huge number of livestock, other ordnance and various materials, although they are also quite diverse, are not so gratifying. After counting, in addition to the herd, the biggest harvest was the bait delivered by Li Yunxin and Yang Zhong and others before. Although some of them were lost in the war, most of them were preserved.

In addition to the seizure of materiel, the capture of personnel was also very considerable. Nearly 30,000 Turkic troops were captured and surrendered, and more than 20,000 were among the other Ele and Jihu tribes.

In addition to the Turks, the former also includes the Tiele and other guest tribes living in Mobei, or the slave tribe, which belonged to the Hu tribe that was forcibly conscripted and annexed by the Turks, but because the generals of the Western Wei Dynasty were relatively unfamiliar with these Hu tribes in Mobei, they were generally divided into Turkic people.

As for the latter, in fact, it is not a tribe from the north of the desert chasing from the south of the Turks, but a local tribe that lives in the Elechuan River in the south of the desert, and was forcibly gathered here by the Khan of the wooden pole before.

Originally, it was intended to be the slave drive of its Monan Khan's court, but the Turks were defeated and lost in this battle, and even the wooden pole Khan was defeated and fled, and these local Hu tribes naturally set things right and returned to the arms of the Western Wei Dynasty. After all, these Hu Buhao chieftains themselves also have their own feudal officials granted by the Western Wei Dynasty, and they are also impatient to show their identities at this time, indicating that everyone is their own people.

But whether it is his own person or not depends not on what these people say, but on Li Tai's heart. Taking advantage of this victory, he will of course also have to reshape the order and rules of the Hetao region to strengthen his control over the area.

With the clear inventory of the harvest of the battle on this side, there was also good news from the north of Yinshan, He Ruodun and other pursuing men and horses and Li Xian's men and horses who had gone north over the mountain before and after, successfully intercepted the wooden pole Khan and more than 5,000 guards who fled there between the mountains and mountains, and were leading the wooden pole khan and his men and horses back.

Li Tai was overjoyed when he heard the news, and at least half of his intentions in attacking the Turks this time were locked on this wooden pole khan, and only by grabbing the wooden pole khan could it be regarded as a complete achievement. So he ordered Shi Jing to lead a thousand elite horsemen to Gaoque Shu to respond.

Although the personnel system of the Turkic Khanate today is not as complete as it was later, it is already a self-contained system with a rudimentary form. Since Ashina Tumen became khan, his family's high status as a Turkic royal family was established. The reign of the successor Khan was too short to be negligible.

Today's Turks, in addition to the leader of the wooden pole khan, the other two sons of Ashina Tumen also have the title of khan, namely the Khan of the control of the land and the Khan of Buli. Although they all have the honorific title of Khan, they are still different from each other, which is similar to the name of the Pillar State of the Western Wei Dynasty, or the Khan also has a difference in size.

Under the Khan is Ye Hu, who is usually served by the Khan's uncles and elders and elders of the same clan, such as Meng Ye Hu, who was previously sent by the Wooden Pole Khan as an envoy to Chang'an, is the uncle of the Wooden Pole Khan. In addition, there is also the younger brother of the Tumen Khan, who was known as Mohe Yehu, who was responsible for leading his troops to the west soon after the establishment of the Turkic Khanate, and his descendants established the Western Turks in the future.

Slightly lower than Ye Hu is Shi, whose status is probably equivalent to that of the governor of the Western Wei Dynasty, and he is the feudal official in charge of the military and political affairs of one side. Another of the more familiar official positions is the secret service, which is usually held by the sons of the khan and his clansmen, who have their own domains and subjects, presumably similar to the prince.

In addition, there are a series of non-Khan chieftain positions such as Jielifa and Qi Jin, and Turkic nobles of the non-Khan lineage, such as Asid, often serve as Jieli

Job.

As for the other series of official positions subordinate to the Khan's court, there are more titles, and they are similar to the civil and military official positions of the Western Wei court, and have their own division of labor.

The reason why we want to understand the introduction of the official positions of the Turks is because the Turkic elites captured in this battle are too considerable, including the wooden pole khan, and the three khans of the big and small have been dealt with. There are also more than 20 people of the same clan of Ashina, young and old, and there are hundreds of other Hao chiefs and Hu officials who have official positions.

When he saw this long list of captives, as well as their respective identities and kinship marked, Li Tai couldn't help but have a bad taste in his mind, if he killed all these people, would it be considered to destroy all the upper ruling class of the Turks? So what will become of the Turks next?

However, this thought only flashed in his mind, and Li Tai knew that it would be difficult to uproot the Turkic forces with a single battle, and what he had destroyed now was just a conquest of the army.

If he did do so, and he didn't have enough strength to continue to attack the forces of the Turkic Mobei and the Western Regions, then it is very likely that the remaining Turks would regard attacking the territory of the Western Wei as a political task to legitimize their ascendancy. Just as the ministers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties would start the Northern Expedition whenever they had the intention of usurping the dynasty.
