Chapter 1367: Follow Datang to have meat to eat

The main army is on Qu Tushou's side and there are still two groups of people to clean up, so although they have won, except for leaving 10,000 Gaochang soldiers to guard the prisoners, the rest must immediately move eastward.

This kind of large-scale transfer is indeed quite difficult for soldiers who have just experienced a fight, but the Datang soldiers have already exceeded their physical load since the day of training, so this kind of transfer is simply a drizzle for them.

Li Chengyi soon knew that he couldn't help the victory on Qu Tushou's side for a long time, wasn't it 20,000 Arab cavalry? He has 10,000 troops in his hands, including 4,000 Gaochang troops, but these Gaochang troops are not recruits, they have been fighting in the Western Regions for a year, so when Qu Tushou won the victory, Li Chengyi immediately sounded the horn of attack.

This guy also reconnoitred the surrounding situation more carefully, but because the Arab army was stationed in the field, when Li Chengyi's army attacked, the first group of them also suffered a lot of damage, but there was no obstruction around, so the Arab army immediately scattered and fled.

This is also the situation that Li Chengyi is most afraid of, the 20,000 army only killed less than 6,000 people, and the rest of the people all scattered and fled, we can't catch up with them at all, even if we throw away the armor on our bodies, we can't catch up with them, we haven't trained this kind of light equipment in normal times, so they are not people's opponents at all.

What's more, our army has long been adapted to heavy warfare, even if it catches up with others, without the protection of armor, I am afraid that there will be some fear in my heart, and it may not be someone's opponent.

Cheng Chuliang, who was in the middle army, also immediately knew the situation on both sides, and Cheng Chuliang did not make any criticism of the situation on Li Chengyi's side, even if he was there at that time, I am afraid that this outcome could not be changed.

This is the biggest advantage of the Arab cavalry, if we want to solve it, it can only be to pull them to the city to fight, but this is too great a loss for us, horizontal and vertical is more than 10,000 cavalry, not necessarily our opponent.

The biggest cake is these miscellaneous armies in the middle, Prince Salamatan has gathered the labor force of all the Central Asian countries, there are more than 100,000 people in it, after the current army is defeated, this gang of miscellaneous armies in Central Asia immediately panicked, they also want to scatter and flee, but unfortunately this is too far away from their country, if they scatter and flee, few people can hold on.

When the Tang army appeared in both the East and the West, these people only did some small-scale fighting, and immediately quieted down, they were not people's opponents at all, let alone the Tang army, even if they met the Gaochang army, they did not have any hope of victory, so they could only honestly choose to surrender.

In this era, the largest surrender on record, with 110,000 troops from Central Asian countries appearing, and at the same time laying down their weapons, when he saw the dense captives in front of him, Cheng Chuliang's head was extremely headache.

Anyway, you guys will also fight, if there is a fight, we can reduce some people, and we don't need to scrape together so much food, and now you bastards have surrendered directly, where are we going to find so much food?

Although the west also needs to build roads, it doesn't take so many people at all, so we can only take them to the major cities in the Western Regions as quickly as possible, and then sell them at a relatively reasonable price, which is the most important thing to do now, otherwise with so many mouths, it is very likely to eat us down.

Knowing that they will never be able to return home, and they may be sold to various places as slaves, some people want to escape, and some people want to fight to the end, but after killing more than a thousand people, these people are honest, and they don't have much resistance.

It took a month before and after, and finally solved the threat of the Western Regions, although he did not find His Royal Highness the prince, but he emptied the Governor's Mansion of Anton.

If there weren't so many prisoners, Cheng Chuliang would definitely not be idle here, and would definitely order his army to continue westward until the city of Samarkand was occupied, but now this situation can't be moved at all, the total number of prisoners before and after is nearly 200,000, although more than 20,000 people have been disposed of, but it is still a relatively big trouble.

He had already written to the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court would approve him to take out the military rations from all over the Western Regions, otherwise these guys would soon make trouble, of course, it would be impossible for them to eat too much, but they would never be allowed to starve to death.

The Western Regions are different from the Central Plains, in addition to eating, drinking water is also a very important thing, and now these people are walking towards the location of the water source, if they don't find a few oases, these people are estimated to have died of thirst.

Li Xiang's instructions came over soon, this is an extremely important labor force, not only in the countries of the Western Regions, including some more dangerous places in Datang, we all have to build roads and bridges, we can't let our own people take risks, isn't this a good labor force?

Therefore, Li Xiang allowed Cheng Chuliang to use all the resources in his hands, to let these people live, and to transport them back to the mainland in batches, the countries of the Western Regions only need to keep 40,000 slaves, and they can't afford to support more.

But the territory of Datang is different, many places have opened up a lot of arable land, and our labor force is also a little insufficient, if these people come over, it can indeed relieve this pressure.

Moreover, some of them can also be persuaded to surrender and send them to the southern battlefield, or to the side of Goguryeo and Fuso, and manage them crosswise, which has always been Li Xiang's policy.

For the arrangements of the Tang Dynasty, these prisoners can only obey, after all, the Tang Dynasty army does not reason with them, except for two meals of rice soup that cannot be seen every day, they have no strength at all.

The countries in the Western Regions that participated in the war also shared a lot of efforts, and they were able to get a little better, and they all saw their own future, as long as they worked hard with the Tang army, we would be able to have a good way.

As for following the Arab Empire?

A fool would choose this, don't you see their hundreds of thousands of captives?
