0972 It's not a pity to die
With the passage of time, the climate in the south of Yinshan has become warmer and more pleasant. It was another sunny day, and the drums and horns sounded in the barracks again.
The Turkic captives and other Hu personnel scattered in the various camps were gathered and once again led to the front of the Chinese army's tent, each of them fearfully and cautiously obeying the instructions of the Wei soldiers and standing in formation on both sides of the camp avenue.
Not long after, the sound of galloping horses sounded outside the camp, and a heavily armed Western Wei cavalry took the lead in galloping into the camp from outside the gate and went straight to the front of the Chinese army's tent.
Not long after, Tang Gong Li Tai, who was the chief general of the army, slowly walked out of the tent. He was dressed in military uniform, followed by a group of governors and generals of the Western Wei Dynasty, and just came to the outside of the big tent, which immediately attracted the attention of many people present.
Over the past few days, the descendants have come to understand who they have fallen at and why they have been attacked. Since the vast majority of the Turkic people had difficulty communicating in Chinese, in order to disseminate this information, each prisoner camp was also equipped with a number of Ele people who were fluent in Chinese and Xianbei.
If it is considered raw and cooked, then these Ele people, who settled in the Hetao very early and became Xianbei, can be called mature Hu, while the Turkic captives are uneducated Shenghu.
But whether it is raw or cooked, there should be no one in this big camp today who doesn't know the name of Tang Gong. This young and energetic commander of the Western Wei Dynasty personally led a large army to Saishang and defeated the Turkic army in a battle, bringing a painful lesson to the Turks even more profound than the heroic son of heaven in the Eastern Northern Qi.
In order to show that they were closer to the Western Wei Dynasty and could be blessed by the Tang Duke, the Lule people and the Humen who acted as interpreters in the various battalions also publicized and exaggerated the past achievements of the Tang Duke, which also made those Turks gradually understand what kind of character they provoked.
Today, the captives of the camps were gathered here, and in order to show their deferential attitude and edifying skills, the Humen of the Hetao waved their hands and glared at each battalion to suggest that the captives of each battalion should follow their example, bowed deeply to Tang Gong and shouted loudly: "Tang Gong is mighty! Long live Tang Gong!"
Seeing the uneven movements of these captives, the praise was also scattered and stiff, and there was no unified standard at all, but only the attitude of eagerness to express respect and obedience was vividly expressed, and the corners of Li Tai's mouth couldn't help but smile, and he waved his hand slightly to the prisoners on both sides of the camp. When the captives saw this, they immediately shouted louder and louder, which made the camp even more noisy.
At this moment another group of men and horses arrived outside the camp, and in addition to the neat man's horse armor and staff, the most striking thing in the group was a broken cart pulled by an old ox, on which sat an unkempt man, who had thick hair and covered his face, and who was only wearing a tattered robe of linen and cowhide, whose identity was not recognized by anyone present, and only had their own guesses in their hearts.
"The last general was fortunate enough to live up to his fate, chased to the north of Yin Mountain, and was able to capture the thief's head wooden pole Khan alive!"
After He Ruodun, Li Xian and other generals entered the camp, they turned over and dismounted, and then approached the front and bowed to Li Tai. They used Chinese, but there were attendants next to them who shouted it again in Xianbei. At the same time, a pawn entered to drag the captive down from the ox cart and lead him forward.
After hearing this, all the Hu people present exclaimed in an uproar, it was really this person's unkempt and shabby image that was far from the brocade-clad and invincible wooden pole khan in their previous impressions.
Li Tai knew very well in his heart that Zhu Hu was afraid of the strong, and the visual senses could make people have the most intuitive feeling of strength and weakness, so he deliberately ordered that there was no need to deliberately treat the captives well, and even slightly abused.
Since the capture of Yinshan Mountain Road, the wooden pole Khan has not been treated very well. A few days ago, because the personnel here had not yet been sorted out, and because he was afraid that the people in the camp would breed any mood and emotions, the wooden pole Khan was temporarily detained in Gao Queshu, and was escorted back as the camp stabilized.
In the past few days, he has not eaten and drunk, let alone dealt with personal hygiene, and this time he has been deliberately dressed in sackcloth and rags when he enters the camp, and now the wooden pole Khan really does not have the slightest demeanor of the overlord of the steppe, and at a glance even those different captives are inferior.
"Wooden pole khan
It is a noble man in Huzhong, even if he has betrayed the alliance and become an enemy, he must not inflict humiliation!"
Although this was all Li Tai's instructions, but at this moment, in front of the masses, he still put on a very generous and decent attitude, stepped forward and directly tore off the tattered robe covered by the wooden pole Khan, so that his body with black bruises and purple scars was directly exposed, making the whole person look even more miserable and weak.
Then Li Taicai grabbed a Turkic brocade robe and draped it over the wooden pole khan, and asked him to use tendons to tie his beard, so that he could see the face of the wooden pole khan, and found that his mouth was still stuffed with silk debris to restrict his speech, and waved his hand to signal that he would be loosened and these restrictions lifted.
The wooden pole Khan showed his shame when he was free, and looked back at He Ruodun and the others who had abused him a lot, but before they could have a seizure, the guards on both sides directly grabbed him with the hilt of his sword, making him gasp in pain, and then he understood his own situation again, and turned his head to salute Li Tai in Xianbei language: "The little chief outside the Saiwai has seen the Tang Duke Li Dacheng, and the two countries have an old alliance, but they lost peace because of a misunderstanding......
Li Tai didn't bother to listen to the wooden pole khan's defense, but waved his hand to drag a group of Turkic magnates and captives up, pointed to the wooden pole khan and smiled at them and asked, "Come in and see, this is a wooden pole khan?"
These Turkic nobles did not suffer much abuse in the camp, they were served with good food and drink for a few days, although their spirits were a little sluggish, but they were in good condition, and at this time, seeing the miserable appearance of the wooden pole khan, they could not help but be greatly moved, and they all worshiped and cried out.
When the wooden Khan saw this, he immediately shed sour tears, but the most important thing for him at the moment was not to exchange his feelings with his subordinates, but to communicate effectively with Li Tai and ask how to obtain understanding.
Then Li Tai waved his hand again, signaling the generals to lead the Turkic magnates back to the Chinese army's tent together.
This Chinese army tent is the original Khan's tent, but now it is the host and guest transposition, Li Tai sits in the center of the tent, which originally belonged to the wooden pole khan, and the wooden pole khan and the prisoners stand below.
After a little grooming, the wooden pole Khan regained a little bearing, he stepped forward slightly, put his hands on his chest and bowed deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Great Wei and my Turkic alliance have been married for many years, and when my father was still in the world, he greeted the Wei envoy in the ministry and asked Wei to marry. Since my succession, I have also sought friendship with the Wei State, and led a large army to attack the Eastern Qi Dynasty with the King of Qiyang and Otsuka Zai of the Wei State. After knowing that the princess of Tang was in charge of the Wei State, she sent an envoy Meng Yehu to Chang'an to congratulate her, and asked her to marry the Tang bus to form an alliance.
When Li Tai heard this, he sneered twice, raised his hand and pointed at the wooden pole Khan and replied, "Is the Khan reversing right and wrong, or does he not know the truth of the world? Since you succeeded to the throne, you have repeatedly committed crimes and harmed the peace of the two countries, what kind of face do you want to be? Now I am leading my division and brigade to attack, not because the Turkic people hate me, but because your wooden pole Khan is arrogant and willful, and violates the laws of our country, if I am not severely punished, the prestige of my Great Wei State will probably not exist!"
"Tang Gong is the victor today, and it is hard to resist the demonstration and punishment, but I don't know what kind of crime I have committed!"
When the wooden pole khan heard this, he asked rhetorically.
"There is more than one grave sin. Your father Ili Khan used to hire our country, and my country's Emperor Wen read his sincerity and gave his love to his daughter Princess Changle, you have been arrogant since you were ordained, and you have lost your service, which is a sin!
The two countries swore a good alliance with each other, hated the same enemy, and made an appointment to advance and retreat, and the former jointly attacked the thief Ziner, etc., and took this as a favor, extorted reward, betrayed the father's alliance, and lost filial piety, which is the second sin!
Therefore, our country has a great wish to pacify the thief, although he is riddled with diseases, he still goes to war heroically, and the first soldiers in the country fight with the thief, and so on in the name of the allies, he patrols outside the North Mountain, and he does not dare to attack Jinyang, so that the public success of the stability is lost, and he dies outside, which is the third sin!
In the past of our country, there were thieves who rebelled against the monarch and made chaos in the country, and pushed the cause of their crimes, and even wanted to form a Turkic alliance with the country. Before the civil strife ended, you sent envoys into the country, extorted money, and tried to take advantage of the crisis in our country to coerce the land to be ceded and bribed. I don't want to damage the former alliance, and I poured all my money into the treasury to get married, but I was insatiable and couldn't stay, this is the fourth sin!
The Elechuan and the fertile wilderness, the old place where they make a living, are all the godsons of my king
The people, who have only bowed down to this place to make a living, have never dared to grudge against Mobei, and the disciples have repeatedly committed violence, causing the people here to be uneasy, which is the five crimes......
Li Tai had already thought about how to deal with the wooden pole khan, and now he listed several of his crimes, opened his mouth and talked endlessly, and finally pointed to the wooden pole khan whose face became more and more ugly and said angrily: "My father is in charge of his son-in-law in our country, and now he is dead and the country is alive and his heir is out of order, I should set things right for him." Although you are the lord of a foreign country, you will never be forgiven if you enter the land of our people and conquer the territory for our soldiers! Punishment for several crimes is not a pity to die!"
Because of the language barrier, the Turkic magnates present also received different messages, and after Li Tai finished speaking, some of the Turkic magnates who were the first to react suddenly changed their faces, and they hurriedly shouted: "Tang Gong, please stop your anger! Tang Gong, please spare your life!"
But Li Tai turned a deaf ear to this, and just pointed at these people and said in a deep voice: "You and the others failed to assist the Khan to the Tao, and they are all guilty. Only the deeds of the Ili Khan still need to be inherited, and the Sur group elects a new Khan to assist him. If you realize the depth of your sin, and are willing to share the sin with the Khan of the Wooden Pole, I will not hesitate to die!"
