Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 276 The Ownership of the Captives

Regarding Datang's first war drama, Sun Xiangfu's views are actually very complicated. This thing can indeed enhance some people's sense of identity with the country. However, it may deepen the hatred between ethnic groups. After all, the current Turkic People and land are already under the rule of Datang.

However, this gave Xiangfu some inspiration, drama!Just like novels, it is normal to use some exaggerated or unrealistic methods to express. If, in the plot, it is emphasized that the Turkic people went south because they encountered white disasters and had to defend the Han people. If the spirit of not fearing death is shown, then the world can be told that no one is wrong in this war, and it is only the morals of the world that are wrong.

Then, Sun Xiangfu saw the root of the matter, and expressed his idea of ​​striving for a truce between the two ethnic groups, jointly fighting against natural disasters, and solving difficulties. Finally, let everyone see the appearance of success. This is not a promotion of cultural integration for the two ethnic groups. Is it a good opportunity, after all, Shanyang's success is there!
Therefore, although Sun Xiangfu verbally agreed to Wang Deyong at this moment, what he was thinking in his heart was how to help Li Chengqian revise the script and give this war movie a greater meaning.

The cement roads in all parts of Guanzhong have basically been repaired. Even if there is some snow, the hard and flat cement roads can be used by horse-drawn carriages. For the first time, the people enjoy the convenience brought by the developed transportation. Before winter, they learned the principles of happiness village. Planting technology, in the twelfth lunar month, the farmers who transported vegetables to Chang'an for sale all made a lot of money.

Sun Xiangfu also enjoyed the benefits of convenient transportation. It took less than two days for his troops to rush from the east of Guanzhong to the west of Guanzhong and join Li Jing.

When seeing Sun Xiangfu, Li Jing was still a little embarrassed. In his heart, the value of five thousand crossbows and ten pairs of binoculars was much higher than the 2 young and strong ones and 2 horses that Su Dingfang brought back.After all, in the human tooth market, you can buy more than [-] young and strong for less than [-] guan, and the price of a pair of binoculars, if you take it out for auction, you can definitely sell it for this price, which is better than Sun Xiangfu's auction in Shanyang There is something magical about going out of the mirror.

Sensitively grasping Li Jing's mentality, Sun Xiangfu didn't intend to be polite to him as soon as he came up, and said with a smile, "General Li, His Majesty deliberately ordered me to come here to meet you, you understand the meaning!
"Uh, I understand, I understand. I have received His Majesty's order to wait for you here, so I know that His Majesty is going to give you the right to dispose of these captives." Li Jing nodded.

He thought that Sun Xiangfu would take out an imperial decree from Li Shimin asking him to hand over the captives to Sun Xiangfu. However, Sun Xiangfu did not. He pretended to be inexplicable, "What kind of Turkic captives are there here? These are clearly my Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate." The people under the rule! They were just taken to the battlefield by Jieli, and now their families are still in Shanyang, waiting for them to return! If you don’t believe me, ask Jieli.”

"Ask Jieli?"

Li Jing's eyes rolled wildly when he heard the words, and he quickly understood what Sun Xiangfu meant. This kid, despite his young age, is really skilled!Soon, he made a decision and said, "Yes, ask Xieli."

After a while, Xieli, whose wrists were bound, was pushed into Li Jing's tent.

"Xieli, did the herdsmen and most of the generals under your command kidnap the people under the protection of the Anbei Metropolitan Government?"

Hearing this, Jieli was stunned, and thought, when Ben Khan raised his troops, what was the Anbei Protectorate, you must have lost your mind and went crazy!
With a cold snort, Jieli glanced at Sun Xiangfu like a fool, then turned his head high and ignored him.

"Hmph, I am Sun Zhengming, the governor of Anbei. What I said just now is the answer I want to hear. If you obey me, I can keep you alive. Moreover, I will let you live in the Tang Dynasty for the rest of your life. , your wives, concubines, and children will be killed immediately, and you, after arriving in Chang'an, may be a glass of poisoned wine, may be a white mausoleum, or may be divided into five horses..."

The more Sun Xiangfu went on, the paler Xieli's face became. Now he finally understood what Sun Xiangfu meant. Don't look at this man as a young man. He may represent the emperor Li Shimin, and Li Shimin needs him so much now. explain.

"You, can you really keep me from dying and have my offspring reproduce?" Xie Li stammered a little, looking at Sun Xiangfu anxiously.

"Of course, otherwise why spend so much time on you."

Sun Xiangfu replied calmly, Jieli thought so too, he didn't even kill Tuli Li Shimin, and even conferred a title, if he obeyed Li Shimin's order, why would he have any reason to kill himself?The living self is more valuable than the dead self.

"Well, Ben Khan promises you, and I hope you can fulfill your promise."

Li Jing was a little surprised. Xie Li would be so easy to get on the road, but Sun Xiangfu was not surprised at all. In history, after he was arrested by Li Shimin, he did not appear to have a strong backbone. Li Shimin asked him to dance to entertain the officials, so he danced , for the sake of living a few more days.

Of course, Li Shimin asked him to dance, asked Feng Zhi to wear Yongshi, and finally said "Huyue's family, never existed in ancient times", also to promote national integration, not to kill him or humiliate him. Yes, it can also be said that it was melted out. With the heartfelt support of the surrounding ethnic groups, it is difficult for Datang not to be strong.

After Xieli was detained, Sun Xiangfu snapped his fingers and called Xue Li who was outside the tent to come in.

"I have a big task for you. Lead our people to take all the Turkic people here to Shanyang, and tell them that when they arrive in Shanyang, they will have food, grass, and greenhouses for the winter. No matter who along the way wants to If you want to embarrass you, just hit him, you know?"

"The last general takes orders."

"Wait, Zhengming, you want to send everyone to Shanyang?" Li Jing couldn't see it anymore, and stopped.

The captive soldiers plus herdsmen will have a population of more than 20, while the people brought by Sun Xiangfu are only [-] horsemen.First of all, whether they can be escorted or not is a question. In addition, is it appropriate to take them all away and leave nothing behind?Your Majesty is going to hold a grand prisoner offering ceremony.

"Uh, then leave those Turkic generals and their families behind!"

Sun Xiangfu also thought of some problems and changed his mind.

"As far as I can see, it's better to keep half of it." Li Jing said with some worry.

"Anyway, they will complain if they do more or less, why leave it to them, except those generals and their families, take them away!"

In fact, Sun Xiangfu didn't even want to keep those generals and their family members. After all, in the Turkic tribe, a person with status is often followed by a large ethnic group. They judge the size of a tribe based on their reproductive ability. Therefore, there are likely to be tens of thousands of people left behind. These populations, when they arrive in Shanyang, are enough to support Sun Xiangfu to open another industry. After all, Sun Xiangfu from later generations has too many things in his mind and needs manpower to achieve.

However, it is also beneficial to keep them. Those Turkic people do not have their own leaders, and it is easier to manage them. After all, their general IQ is far behind that of the Han people.

"In this case, the pressure from the court may be very great." Li Jing quickly thought of the next question and said.

"It's okay, if something happens to the court, I will take it on my own." Sun Xiangfu said in a package.

He is not like Li Jing, who is five or sixty years old, and is still a county prince, like Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin and other juniors, whose titles and official positions are all above him. Sometimes when he is on duty in the court, he will be a little embarrassed. Therefore, the merits of Mie Jieli's battle are still somewhat important to him, because if he can't enter the Duke of Jue this time, he won't have so many opportunities to fight in the future.

After all, history has changed now. With the strength of Li Shimin's military at this time, the internal rebellion and border troubles that might have occurred may not happen. No, after the destruction of Jieli, the strongest neighboring country in the east, Goguryeo Don't you dare to jump on the border of Hebei Road?

And Sun Xiangfu, who is only twenty years old, is already the title of Duke of the County. In addition to the contribution he made in persuading Yinan to submit to the Tang Dynasty this time, does it make him a Duke before he is 20 years old?Will it still be sealed like this after that?
Therefore, when Li Shimin asked Sun Xiangfu to deal with these captives, it is very likely that he had the intention of making Sun Xiangfu make mistakes, offsetting the merits with his mistakes, and at the same time taking advantage of some actual benefits, so as to prevent him from occupying a high position when he was young and having no chance of promotion in the future. embarrassing situation.

Sun Xiangfu had guessed Li Shimin's mind, so of course he had to cooperate well with him, not to mention the Duke of the State, even his current position as the Duke of the county and the position of the Governor of Anbei, he thought it was a bit too high, if not Such an identity is indeed needed to manage the Northland. He had already found an opportunity to make a mistake and lowered his title.

Look at the ministers of the Zhenguan Dynasty, as long as they want to do something, that one has ups and downs several times, Xiao Yu is the most, and after that is Changsun Wuji, almost all the officials of the same level in their line have ups and downs experience.When there is no reason, a solar eclipse in the sky is a reason. In the new Tang Dynasty book, in the early years of Zhenguan, as soon as there is a record of a solar eclipse, it will immediately be accompanied by a record of the prime minister being demoted, which is very interesting. matter.

Listening to Sun Xiangfu's swearing, Li Jing finally nodded and said, "In this case, Zhengming should do his own thing! I just pretend I didn't see it, and set off for Chang'an."

It is not far from the army station to Chang'an. If you ride a horse, you can get there in a day. However, Sun Xiangfu has no intention of letting Li Jing go back. He stopped him and said, "Anyway, there is still some time before the ceremony of presenting prisoners. Let’s stay here for a few days together.”

"Why?"

"Of course, let my subordinates lead the troops away for a few days! This large group of people is moving slowly. What if His Majesty can't bear the pressure at that time, what should I do if someone chases them back?"

Hearing this, Li Jing pointed at Sun Xiangfu with a smile, and said in his heart, this guy is too rogue, and his behavior is very secretive.

Therefore, Sun Xiangfu and Li Jing lived leisurely by the Weihe River for six or seven days before leaving for Chang'an. At this time, the number of escorts in the entire team was only more than 3000. Xue Li, with a population of nearly 20 people, had already traveled seven or eight hundred miles to Shanyang. When they arrived at the boundary of Bingzhou, they received an urgent letter from Sun Xiangfu, and Abu Tusi, who led 1 people from Malays to meet him, had successfully completed the journey. joined him.
