Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 202 Back to Liaoyang
An Lushan obviously worried too much, Li Fei did not rush ahead of him to occupy the other two stone cities of Khitan.

Because Huaixiu Khan was dead, the entire population and wealth of Wangcheng was captured by Li Fei and went to Andong. The remaining two stone cities had almost no resistance. As soon as the Anlushan army arrived, they surrendered to Anlushan.

Li Fei didn't take away all the Khitan's victories. An Lushan didn't lose control while he was angry. Otherwise, he really didn't know if he would have sent troops to Anton in a fit of anger, and killed Li Fei directly.

After conquering the Xi and Khitan tribes, An Lushan no longer has any scruples, and he can raise the flag at any time just to make up for the losses of this war.

An Lushan hated Li Fei and wanted to eat Li Fei's flesh and blood, but he also wanted to rely on the victory of this war to get rewards from the court and improve his own strength.

This time, An Lushan defeated 15 coalition cavalry including Khitan, and he himself lost about 4.

After occupying the other two stone cities of Khitan and completely controlling Khitan, An Lushan did not return to Youzhou, and still garrisoned Khitan territory.He was waiting for Pugu and Uro, who had fled back, to come and surrender by themselves.

After waiting for two days, the Pu Gu Department came first, they dare not not come, Khitan is finished, if they don't voluntarily surrender, once An Lushan's army goes to their territory, there will definitely be a river of blood, and the loss will be inevitable. will be even more dire.

An Lushan was not polite, and asked for [-] war horses and [-] cattle and sheep from the Pu Gu Department.

The leader of the Pugu tribe turned green when he heard this. This is almost half of their entire Pugu's wealth. A few days have passed since the winter, and the rest of the cattle and sheep are mainly lambs and calves. The tribe still relies on With these lambs and calves breeding more cattle and sheep, the tribe will be sad this year if Anlu Mountain asks for [-] of them.

However, no matter how big An Lushan opened his mouth, the leader of the Ponggu tribe would not dare to disobey, because the consequences of disobedience would be even greater.

An Lushan was very happy to get [-] war horses and [-] cattle and sheep from the Bugu tribe.Although he conquered the Khitan tribe, he has always planned to subdue the Khitan tribe just like he subdued the Xi tribe. Therefore, it is not easy to exploit the Khitan tribe. It can be supplemented by the two parts of Gonggu and Uro.

Now that the Pugu Department is here, it is likely that the Wuluo Department will be here soon.

An Lushan endured his anger towards the Uro tribe, thinking about how many cattle, sheep and horses he would have to ask for from the Uro tribe in order to calm the anger of the Uro tribe's slack surrender.

It's a pity that An Lushan didn't know at all that the Wuluo tribe he was waiting for was afraid that he would speak too loudly, so they didn't dare to come to see him, but went to Andong Dufu.

When Li Fei returned to the Andong border with the population, cattle and sheep captured from the Chifeng King City, he heard the news that the Khitan Tripartite had suffered a disastrous defeat, that Huaixiu Khan had died in battle, and that An Lushan had occupied Khitan.

This was expected, Li Fei was not surprised at all, and Li Fei did not tell the news to the captive Khitans, let alone Princess Yangu, for fear that the Khitan princess would not be able to bear the news of her father's death and affect her injuries. , I also died.

Two days later, Li Fei finally returned to Liaoyang City, his hometown.

He took out [-] iron cavalry, but brought back nearly twelve times as many captives, as well as herds of cattle, sheep and horses. The people in Liaoyang City rejoiced, and Li Fei's prestige was pushed to its peak.

Lying on the stretcher, Princess Yangu survived till now, and her injury got better day by day, it seemed that she couldn't die for the time being.She felt very ashamed in her heart, growing up in Wangcheng, she was the jewel in the palm of her father Khan, and the whole Khitan doted on her, she never thought that she would have such a day and become someone else's captive.

Li Fei asked Du Fu and some officials of the Protectorate to arrange for Khitan prisoners.

Khitan women are much easier to arrange, because they grow up in the grasslands, and there is almost no way for grassland women to survive without men.

It is very common for men to participate in battles when they reach adulthood, resisting conquest by other tribes, or conquering other tribes. It is very common to die in battle. Therefore, in order to survive, women in the grassland usually follow another stronger man soon after their husband dies. , Those who have children will take the children with them.Even after following another man, it is not uncommon for this man to go out to fight and die the next day. Some women have even obeyed more than ten men in their lifetime.

The grassland is so cruel, so whether it is Khitan women or other grassland women, they have been taught since childhood to worship the strong, follow the strong, and obey the thoughts of the conqueror. They generally have no concept of race, which tribe conquered them, Wherever you take them, they will be there.

It's basically a go-anywhere concept.

Those Khitan children who are not yet sensible can also be arranged. When they grow up, they will not remember that they used to be Khitan people.

On the contrary, many Khitan teenagers brought back were difficult to deal with.Compared with women, grassland men have been taught the opposite. They must spare their lives to protect the tribe, protect their own women, and conquer other weak tribes. They are purely strong concepts, and many ideas have been stereotyped.

In this regard, Li Fei can only resort to brainwashing methods, gather them together to educate them, and let them teach them Chinese characters. While adapting to Chinese culture, he tells them every day about the origin and development of Khitan, and tells them that many of them In fact, they were the children of the Han people, but when they were still in their infancy, they were kidnapped and taken to Khitan, and then they became Khitan people. Then they often gave them examples, such as they must have seen it with their own eyes in their lives in Chifeng King City. When the tribe came back from the war, they brought back some babies. Many of them were like those babies brought back when they were young, or their father was one of the babies brought back in one of the stages, etc.

Anyway, just tell them and give them a reason, there is a great possibility that they are originally Han Chinese.

A person, with a reason, can convince himself from the heart, and then have a better life than before, and forget the past.

Li Fei didn't know if such brainwashing would eventually transform these Khitan people into Han Chinese, but he could only do so for the time being.

There are more than 200 adult Khitan people who were captured. For these adult Khitan people, their thinking is more stubborn. Li Fei didn’t have the patience to brainwash them, but Li Fei didn’t go too far, just let them do some mining first. Road construction, and as long as they are honest and don't mistreat them, give them enough food every day. After all, these adult Khitans will have other uses in his plan in the future.

It is worth mentioning that the Khitan general Yelucha who led more than 2000 Khitan cavalry to block the attack of Li Fei and other Anton's cavalry did not die. After that, he was rescued with a purpose.
