Later, the Sui Dynasty spent a lot of money to destroy Tuyuhun and set up counties in its place, but it still failed to form effective control. Today's Western Wei Dynasty is more difficult to reach than the Sui Dynasty during the great cause, and it is impossible to invest a large amount of war resources in this corner at any cost.

Aside from this regret, the various captures in this battle are enough to make people smile and feel happy.

Like the most intuitive people, because Tuyuhun is not a pure nomadic regime, and the living habits are semi-sedentary, so these big cities in the territory are also inhabited by a large number of people, after occupying a few big cities, Shi Ning and others will naturally not leave these populations to Tuyuhun, and try their best to kidnap people to Longyou, and the population will be nearly 100,000!

Tuyuhun is a combination of agriculture and animal husbandry, so these captives also have many farming and pastoral skills, and they are undoubtedly very precious human resources.

When Li Tai conquered Gangneung in the old years, he did not choose to move a large number of Gangneung soldiers and people away from the territory as in history, and now after he became the head of Guanzhong, he faced the difficulty of labor shortage when carrying out some military and political reforms.

Although the urgent need was temporarily relieved by the establishment of Buddhist temples and the recruitment of many people sheltered by Shamen, in the long run, the population, especially the high-quality labor force, is still a major factor restricting the development of various industries in Guanzhong and the implementation of government decrees.

The population and labor force in Guanzhong are still insufficient, such as Li Tai's previous plan to develop Huguang, and if you want to alleviate the border pressure of Longyou and gain greater momentum for foreign development, of course, you also need to continue to develop Longyou in depth and increase its local hematopoietic and supply capacity.

This expedition to Tuyuhun captured nearly 100,000 people in the first battle, which is undoubtedly a great tonic for today's Western Wei court. Integrating these populations into the national system, and serving them while indoctrination, can also greatly make up for the current manpower shortcomings.

This harvest alone makes this trip worthwhile. However, the harvest of this campaign does not stop there.

As we all know, a considerable part of the reason why Tuyuhun was able to develop and grow was due to the passage of the Silk Road, especially after the division between the north and the south, the Southern Dynasties especially needed to rely on the Qiang Middle Road, where Tuyuhun was located, to be able to reach exchanges with Longyou Hexi. Even Li Tai's ancestor Li Wei had to send an envoy to Tuyuhun to seek the title of the Eastern Jin Dynasty when he established Xiliang.

Tuyuhun has been sitting on such a favorable location for more than 100 years, and naturally has accumulated a huge amount of wealth. The three cities that the Wei army attacked this time were all the core areas of Tuyuhun, and the materials and goods captured were naturally extremely rich.

In history, it was the Turks who attacked Tuyuhun in a similar period, and the Turkic wooden pole Khan attacked Tuyuhun through Liangzhou, and Shi Ning, who was the assassin of Liangzhou at the time, led his troops to fight together and successfully conquered the two cities of Tuyuhun Shudun and Hezhen, but all the captured gold and silver treasures and people and horses were all owned by the Turks.

But now, because Li Tai took the lead in attacking the Turks and killing the wooden pole khan, the main and secondary positions of this military operation were reversed, and Tuyuhun, a pot of soup that had been boiled for hundreds of years, was naturally the first of the Western Wei Dynasty.

Because the harvest is too rich, it is even difficult to do a detailed inventory, all kinds of gold bottles and silver urns, bead curtain jade cups and other precious utensils, rhino horn agate, crystal red jade and other exotic treasures, as well as all kinds of pigments and spices, all difficult to weigh, are counted in the car.

This time the expedition was triumphant, and there were thousands of cars of such loot transported back alone, but this was still because of the limited transportation capacity, and there were still a large number of sealed in Liangzhou, Qinzhou and other places. It can be said that aside from some cultural relics, books and other items of high cultural value, the gains from this expedition to Tuyuhun are not inferior to the previous battle of Jiangling, and there are even victories!

After all, Jiangling was still short as the capital of Southern Liang, and when Emperor Yuan of Liang ascended the throne, Southern Liang had already been ruined by Hou Jingchao's military disasters, and the Jiangling court was not able to completely rule the entire territory of Southern Liang, and the treasury accumulation was not as good as that of Southern Liang in its heyday.

The Western Expedition army broke through the three cities of Tuyuhun this time, and even if the capture was not all of the wealth accumulated by Tuyuhun for many years, it must have accounted for a large proportion, and it was natural to have this capture.

During the Western Wei Dynasty, there were financial difficulties, and Yuwentai rewarded the meritorious soldiers to pick and search, but in the period of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, all kinds of rewards became heroic, and the rewards for meritorious heroes were often gold and silver

Hundreds. Of course, this is closely related to the improvement of the national strength of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the prosperity of Silk Road trade, and the series of war seizures against Tuyuhun are also quite impressive.

Historically, Yuwentai completed the development and occupation of Bashu and Jiangling, and when the time entered the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the management of Longyou, especially the blow to Tuyuhun became the main military action of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

The frequent use of troops against Tuyuhun even made the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the Qinghai region of Longyou open up and occupy more results than in the Tang Dynasty. Although the Tubo faced in the Tang Dynasty was more powerful than Tuyuhun, the national strength of the Northern Zhou Dynasty at that time was far inferior to that of the Tang Dynasty.

The reason why the Northern Zhou Dynasty is so enterprising, in addition to the needs of Longyou's border defense, is also because the fat sheep of Tuyuhun is really loved.

The wealth accumulated by the Silk Road trade for more than 100 years was coveted by the poor and vicious neighbors of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and it was attacked and pressed again and again, so that by the Sui Dynasty, Tuyuhun had completely fallen into abject poverty, and even the king of his country took the initiative to lead his troops to surrender and annex it, and Emperor Wen of Sui did not accept it. How miserable the Murong family was when they abused the Yuwen Department in Liaodong, and how sad it was when Tuyuhun was oppressed by the Northern Zhou Dynasty during the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

In addition to these direct gains on the battlefield, this battle also had a great effect on the prestige of the Western Wei Dynasty in the Longyou region, which greatly shocked the other realms of Hu Shengqiang, and it can be said that since Dugu Xin put down the Liangzhou rebellion, the Longyou region has the largest scale and the most brilliant victory!

The heroic performance of the Western Wei army once again gave a huge shock to the Turks who accompanied the battle.

For example, the Turkic Mengye Protector, who followed into the court this time, was arrogant and unpopular when he came to Chang'an last year, but this time he came again, his attitude became deferential and well-behaved, and he frequently made a toast in a very awkward Chinese, and when he was drunk, he left the table to dance to congratulate him on the victory.

Li Tai sat in the middle of the seat, smiling at the rough and funny dance posture of Meng Yehu, but also talked about the regret of not being able to introduce the wooden pole Khan into Chang'an to dance, and in a happy mood, he also admired Shi Ning and other generals who made this great achievement.

He stood up and carried the wine urn into the banquet to pour wine for the generals, and at the same time laughed and said, "And wash the dust with water and wine, and reward the lord again in the coming day!"

Shi Ning and the others held cups in both hands to thank them, and when they arrived at Wu Mingche, he said with emotion: "At the beginning of the previous defection to the Lord, the Lord's teachings were remembered in my arms, but I still doubted it and did not believe it.

Recalling the old days of Liang Zu's wild words, the golden ou is flawless, don't he know that the society is cracked? It is nothing more than laziness and self-deception! The last general is very fortunate to be enlightened by the Lord, and is willing to make a name for himself in the universe from the Lord, how can he be arrogant and complacent and trapped in a corner of Jiangdong!"

When Li Tai heard this, he laughed again, looked at everyone and sighed, "You are fortunate to have met me, and I am also fortunate to have you! A few giants jumped and cleaned up calmly; A certain person is not talented, and he does his best to recreate the world. The ambition must be far, the hard work must be long, and with this full of talents, great things will be achieved!"

The crowd enjoyed the night, and the next day was still unfinished, and when Li Tai entered Beijing, he had already submitted the reward plan to the emperor, and when the court meeting was held, it was announced by edict.

This time, Shi Ning, Han Guo, Liang Shiyan and Liang Tai were awarded the generals, and each of them had a son as the county duke. Linghu Yanbao and Wu Mingche did not invest in the front-line battle because of the logistics of the division, so the reward was slightly inferior, and Linghu Yanbao entered the county on the basis of the original hussar Kaifu. Wu Mingche had been awarded the hussar to open the mansion because of his work in capturing and controlling the local khan, and now he has been added to the service and awarded the title of county duke.

The rest of the generals who participated in the war were also rewarded quite richly, and the officials were able to make great progress. At the same time, this victory will also leave a strong mark on their resumes, and they can get more opportunities in the future official promotion.

As for the ordinary sergeants, they will refer to the examples of the previous great victories and rewards. First of all, all the sergeants who participated in the war were awarded medals, and after that, arrangements were made for the awarding of fields.

In addition, in-kind rewards are also issued in the form of military merit coupons, which are different from the previous Dingliang military merit coupons, and this time the military merit coupons are named Pingqiang coupons. Spit though

Guhun does not belong to the species of Xiqiang, but its location is located in the traditional Qiang sphere of influence, and today's Tuyuhun has also mixed with many Qiang people. In the future, there will be fights with Diqiang and Tubo in Longyou, so this series of military exploits will simply be classified as Pingqiang.

In addition to the difference in name, the Pingqiang coupon is no longer based on the number of silk as its value, but with the newly minted Tongzhi five-baht coin, 100 yuan as a silk, and the face value on the Pingqiang coupon can also be directly exchanged for a new five-baht coin.

Since the new money has just been put into the market, the supply will inevitably be insufficient, and the corresponding purchasing power will be relatively high. The sergeants were the first to have a stable supply of money, which was also a benefit, benefiting more people than directly rewarding the ministers, and building confidence in the market more quickly.

At the same time as issuing Pingqiang coupons to the sergeants, the military market in the south of Chang'an will also be prepared, and the military city supervisor will be led by Lieutenant Yushi.

Lieutenant Yushi already assumed the role of a certain military judge, and the army, as a violent organization, also needs to pay special attention to the distribution of interests and exchanges, once this causes any interest disputes, it can be much more serious than simple civil disputes, so the military market trade should also be regulated by military law.
