"Long history, the little Khan of Tuli sent people to talk."

"Oh? Did you bring a war horse? ”

"No, the other party claimed to see General Qibi He Li first, as well as the 10,000 prisoners, to ensure the safety of the prisoners."

"Then take him to the construction site."

On the construction site in the north of Anle City, 10,000 Turkic captives were divided into four groups, each team had a Tang Dynasty soldier to supervise the work, and let these people dig ditches and build fortifications.

Originally, Chai Shao was still worried that these 10,000 people were imprisoned together, what if there was a mutiny? Even if there is no mutiny, people eat horses all day long, and the amount of food consumed is not small.

But after seeing the fortifications planned by Xiao Rui, Chai Shaole was happy, these 10,000 prisoners are not enough, it is best that Tuli can exchange prisoners later, so that these coolies can dig out the irrigation canals of the common people, so as not to launch a conscription.

"General Qibi Holi, General, the little Khan of Tuli has come down to visit you, how are you doing? Did Datang abuse everyone? ”

He Li, who was bare-chested, was digging a ditch hard, and when he heard someone shouting, he dropped the tools in his hand and jumped up from the tunnel, "It's General Asiming, you came just in time, the conditions proposed by Datang, did the little Khan of Tuli agree?" Why can't 10,000 horses come together after so many days? ”

Qi Bi He Li's words quickly attracted the attention of many captives around, and everyone turned their heads to stare at the envoy Asiming.

Ah Siming instantly felt like a mang on his back, and hurriedly explained with a smile: "No, no, there was a mistake in the previous information, and I didn't know that you were captured." It's not that I'm afraid of fraud, so the little Khan sent me here, and after confirming everyone's safety, I immediately arranged for everyone to be replaced. ”

That's okay, put your mind at ease again, bury your head and continue digging ditches.

Ah Siming was puzzled: "General, the Tang people are so hateful that they let you do coolies?" ”

He Li glanced at the goods, "Otherwise?" What do you want us to do? ”

"You are my Turkic warriors, and you should be fed with good food and drink."

Qi Bi He said weakly: "Forget it, if you are a prisoner, it is good that you are not killed." They never whipped us, they never starved us, and they took care of a meal of meat every day. Just imagine, what would happen if we captured the Tang people? ”

This one......

Ah Siming lowered his voice and whispered, "General, how can you help them speak?" Can we Turkic warriors, Datang pariahs compare? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he was whipped in the face by Cheng Huaimo, who was the supervisor next to him, "What did you just say?" Who are the untouchables? Damn, a bullshit envoy, dare to come to the Tang Dynasty to scold us Tang people, give it to the master! Send someone to tell Tuli to go back and tell Tuli that next time he will send a polite person to envoy, this kind of goods will kill one by one! ”

Qi Bi He Li hurriedly persuaded: "Don't do it, don't do it......"

Cheng Huaimo said with a straight face: "General Qibi He Li, the Tang people must not be humiliated. I'll only kill him, so I can give you face. Although you are Turkic and our captives, what my brother Xiao said is right, everyone should learn to respect each other, we didn't bully you, right? ”

"Yes, yes, Datang is a state of etiquette, and I am convinced. Asimin just doesn't understand the rules, can you spare him once, I'll teach him. He Li apologized repeatedly.

Frowning and thinking for a while, Cheng Huaimo nodded and said, "Okay, then stay and work with you." Let Tuli send another person. ”

Ah Siming, who was half frightened, didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and asked Qi Bi He Li in a low voice: "General, what's going on?" Doesn't that mean you haven't been abused? If you don't agree with each other, you kill people, they, they ......"

He Li glared at the goods and sighed: "It's not to blame. It's your own mouth that you owe. I've been getting along with these Tang people for a few days, and they are still very fair in their speech and affairs. Let us work as coolies, not because of our captive status, but in exchange for food, in exchange for equal value. Even the people of the Tang Dynasty have to come to participate in the conscription every year to do coolies. ”

"But ......"

"You don't understand, following them in the past few days, our people have learned a lot, Datang is worthy of being a state of etiquette, we shouldn't come to rob people."

I'm ......

Ah Siming was completely stunned, is this still General Qibi He Li? How do you feel that he defected to Tang?

This is Xiao Rui's strength, one step counts as three steps. The Turks worship the strong and want to educate and brainwash these people, but pure preferential treatment is not enough, and they must be subdued first.

He Li was personally subdued by Su Lie, and the other unconvinced commanders and centurions were the hands of a group of young generals such as Qin Huaidao.

After being convinced, you reason with them again, and they will be much more serious about listening to the class, what everyone is equal, mutual respect, civilized and polite, more work and more rewards, in short, what can be reflected on this construction site, as simple and rude as possible, so that these Turks feel that they are not captured, but hired by Datang to work.

At the beginning, Chai Shao felt that it was a fantasy, but it wasn't until Xiao Rui showed off the big killer - the big pot dish on the construction site. Does this thing have a Turkic? Not to mention the Turks, the current Datang has not yet.

Working hard every day, eating and drinking, and having interactive programs in the evening, where is such an atmosphere like a captive? In particular, the Turkic cavalry who were born in poverty gradually liked this harmonious atmosphere, and it was better to be a prisoner in the Tang Dynasty than to eat in the court of the Turks.

The next day, when Tuli heard that the envoy sent was detained, he was so angry that he stomped his feet, "Astin has been detained?" Deceive people too much, Datang deceives people too much! When I get back those 10,000 elites, I must teach them a lesson. Come on, sort out the 10,000 war horses, inform Chai Shao in Youzhou, and exchange prisoners at the border three days later. ”

It's not that the little Khan of Tuli didn't think about doing something on the prisoner exchange horse, but he was worried that if the quality of the delivered war horse was not good, would Datang kill the prisoner?

Forget it, just treat this 10,000 good horses as if they were fostered in Datang, and get them back in a few days.

At the same time, the Turkic king Tingjieli was located, and the messenger of the Turks finally arrived, and all the blame was placed on the foreign commander of Qibi He Li.

If it weren't for the Turkic fire paint letter, Jieli would definitely think that this was a lie about the military situation, and my Turkic 10,000 cavalry were captured by 10,000 infantry of the Tang Dynasty? How can he lead people to the enemy? No way! He Li is my right-hand man, specially sent to inspect the Quartet, where did he come from to surrender to the enemy?

"Someone, go to the headquarters of the Turki Institute immediately and find out if there has been any fighting recently? In addition, let General Khibi Holi reply to Ben Khan. ”

Reply? He is digging a ditch, how can he have time to reply? If Jieli knew that Tuli sent 10,000 good horses to Datang, I don't know if he would be angry to death.

No, plus the 10,000 horses captured by Qibi He Li, Datang earned at least 20,000 war horses this time, not counting the blackmail of Qidan. 20,000 excellent war horses, if equipped with the sophisticated weapons and armor of the Tang Dynasty, it is an invincible elite cavalry. In the future, on the battlefield, the Turkic cavalry will also have to retreat.

This is also the reason why the Turks, and even the entire steppe, resisted the purchase of war horses by the Tang Dynasty.
