Tibet

Chapter 285
When Li Ye returned to the barracks, Constantine's eldest son said unwillingly, "He's going to take half of the wealth we've accumulated for decades. Why did my father agree so readily!"

Constantine sighed and said: "They are already the most benevolent army I have ever seen, and they still leave us half. Any army will deprive us of all our wealth. Why did I agree so quickly? Repent!"

The eldest son was silent, and the second son whispered again: "Father, they don't know exactly how much wealth we have, why don't we hide some of it?"

Constantine still shook his head, "Don't treat other people as fools. You think they won't think of it. If you hide a part, they will arrest someone for interrogation and expose you immediately. At that time, we may not even be able to keep a single gold coin."

The second son was ashamed and said, "I know my mistake!"

Constantine said to Prime Minister Amber again: "Go and talk to this General Lee again, what will happen to our captured soldiers before they will be released?"

"Humble job understands, I will go to see him immediately."

Prime Minister Ambor saw Li Ye in the barracks, and he asked cautiously, "I wonder how many soldiers of Kang have become prisoners of war?"

Li Ye said indifferently: "How many troops did Kang Guo send?"

"1 people!"

Li Ye nodded, "There are [-] Kang people among the captured soldiers!"

Amber's face turned pale, "Only 900 people?"

Li Ye gave him a cold look, "Be content! I have shown mercy. I killed all of Ziyad's 1 men and Huoxun's [-] Sogdian army, leaving no one alive."

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Thank you General for your mercy, but how can I get them back?"

"According to the rules of the Sogdians, one hundred gold dinars are exchanged for one person. This is not the price I set. This is the price for you Sogdians. However, whether Gao Shuai will agree depends on your sincerity. !"

Gao Xianzhi is more greedy for bribes and has a good reputation. Even the people of Kang Guo know it, and Amber knows what to do.

At this time, Li Ye remembered something, and said: "There is one more thing. Tang Jun has a letter to deliver to the Abbas Caliph of Dashi. You arrange someone to deliver this letter for us."

Amber nodded, "The Sogdian General Chamber of Commerce can send this letter. They have a very close personal relationship with the caliph's brother Mansur."

..........
Li Ye had already reminded the King of Kang, and the rest would depend on his own performance. Two days later, Prime Minister Amber came to the camp of the Tang Army and brought half of the wealth of the Kang Kingdom treasury, 20 sheep and [-] shi of wheat.

In addition, he gave Gao Xianzhi two boxes of jewels and 1 taels of gold in private, Gao Xianzhi was satisfied, and agreed to let Kang go, and agreed to follow the rules of the Sogdians, and let all countries redeem prisoners of war on the condition of one hundred dinars of gold per person .

Li Ye met with the other kings of the Three Kingdoms the next day, and made the same request. With Kang Guo as an example, the kings of the Three Kingdoms did not dare to raise any conditions, but obediently complied.

Gao Xianzhi sent Xi Yuanqing to lead an army of [-] north to Huoxun Kingdom, beheaded the king of Huoxun Kingdom, re-established a new king, and plundered all the wealth of the treasury, but did not plunder the people. Gao Xianzhi grasped this principle.

For ten days in a row, Tang Jun got a lot of wealth, and the ransom alone got 80 dinar gold coins. Of course, only a small part of this wealth was distributed to the soldiers, and most of it had to be transported back to Chang'an. Gao Xianzhi and Cheng Qianli had to return to Chang'an to report their duties .

The day before his departure, Li Ye appeared on the streets of Bukhara, King An's city, with a dozen of his subordinates.

Li Ye stood in front of the gate of a private house, watching the courtyard. A young woman was washing clothes in the courtyard. She was wearing a sarong with disheveled hair, and there were two young children snuggling beside her.

This young woman is Hu Ji Anlu who gave Li Ye the first kiss in Chang'an back then. She is married and gave birth to a pair of twin daughters. It can be seen that her family background is not very good and the house is relatively dilapidated. Her husband is an honest man. He is responsible for raising camels for the big family.

Li Ye took out a bulging money bag from his horse bag, which contained three hundred gold dinars, and handed it to the soldier, "Give it to that woman, and say it's a gift from Flying Shark."

After speaking, Li Ye turned and left. After walking dozens of steps, Li Ye turned his head and saw An Lu standing at the door, holding two young children in one hand, and holding a heavy purse in the other, looking excitedly at the door. She recognized herself, Li Ye smiled and waved to An Lu, urging Ma Yuan to leave, and he finally fulfilled this wish.

One gold dinar can be exchanged for ten silver dinars and one thousand copper dinars, and one copper can buy a cake.

Three hundred gold dinars is a huge sum of money for any low-level commoner.

In the morning of the next day, the army set off back to Anxi in mighty strength, and Prince Alorie found Li Ye and walked side by side with him.

"I got a message from the Rahana Chamber of Commerce that Abu Muslim was executed by the caliph Abbas. The caliph had long wanted to kill him. This time he found an excuse. Ziyad became the governor of Khorasan, and his troops were less than [-]. Dashi will not consider expanding eastward for at least several years.”

Li Ye nodded, "I believe they will soon send a special envoy to Chang'an to negotiate with the imperial court."

After a moment of silence, Li Ye said to A Luolie again: "I'm sorry for the heavy casualties in pulling sweat this time!"

Pulling Khana's 3000 troops participated in the battle, and in the end only 5000 people remained, and [-] people were killed. This is also the worst loss in the history of Pulling Khana. Ten thousand sheep and a large number of soldiers were harvested, but the death of five thousand young and strong men was still a heavy blow to them.

A Luolie smiled and said, "It's an honor to be able to fight side by side with Tang Jun!"

Li Ye was moved, and smiled again: "Your father will definitely send an envoy to Chang'an, why don't you go! Let's go to Chang'an together."

Arrowlie's eyes lit up, this is a good suggestion, he has never been to Chang'an.

"General Li is going back to Chang'an too?"

Li Ye nodded, "I came to the Western Regions under the order of the emperor, and I have to go back to give the order, but I have to arrange Suiye before I can go, I will wait for you to go together!"

"Okay! I will definitely come."

Li Ye remembered something again, and said with a smile: "I still have to write a report, about some customs and customs of Dashi, I'm afraid I need you to provide some information from the Chamber of Commerce."

Arrowle laughed, "It's a trivial matter!"

There was a horn sounding to speed up the march ahead, and everyone accelerated their horses and walked eastward.

In the blink of an eye, it was August, and it had been half a month since Li Ye returned to Suiye. The huge impact of the Battle of Talas was still fermenting in the Hezhong area.

First of all, the Abbasid dynasty was in trouble. Abdul Rahman, the last survivor of the Umayyad family, fled to Spain, and raised the banner of white food in Spain and Algeria again. Another uprising broke out in Egypt.

The Abbasid dynasty had to turn west and had no time to take care of the river. The caliph simply pushed the boat along the river, accepted the suggestion of the Tang army, and sent his brother Mansur as a special envoy to Chang'an to negotiate with the Tang Dynasty on the status of the river area and redeem more than 1 prisoners of war. .

The Battle of Talas also caused a strong shock in Sogdian countries. The kings of various countries replaced the powerful officials who were pro-Dashi and appointed pro-Tang factions to take power. The kings of dozens of small countries, including Hezhong and Tocharian, have decided, I will go to Chang'an to make a pilgrimage to the Emperor of Tang in two years.

This morning, the new Suiye chief secretary, Cen Shen, hurried to Li Ye's official room, clasped his fists and said, "General, Poguge Luolu sent someone here, it's their eldest prince, Gebu!"

The problem of Ge Luolu's people must be resolved. Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing acted as hands-off shopkeepers in this matter, and handed over the task of solving Ge Luolu's people to Li Ye.

Of course Li Ye would not find Tuqishiren, that would only make Tuqishiren rise again. After much deliberation, he finally thought of Geluoluren from the mother-in-law. give them.

When Li Ye came to the living room, a 30-year-old Ge Luolu man was sitting silently at the table. He was Gobu, the eldest son of Narman, the great chief of the Ministry of War.

The territory of the Pogen tribe is located in the northern part of Yibohai and the western part of Jinshan, centered on the Xuanchi and Dolos River basins. Xuanchi is much bigger.

Among the three departments of Ge Luolu, the relationship between the Pogu department and the Tali department is the best, and the assassination department has a relatively cold relationship with them because of their different beliefs.

At this time, Gobu was also very nervous. He didn't know how Tang Jun would deal with the strength department?

At this time, Li Ye quickly walked into the lobby.
