I can sign in in Datang

Chapter 802

Chapter 802

Hou Junji glanced at Lin Xuan and Ashinasheer with a gloomy expression.

It never occurred to him that the insider that Lin Xuan mentioned was Ashinasheer.

Ashinasheer hated Xue Yantuo to the bone, because it was Xue Yantuo who betrayed East Turkic at the beginning, and it was because of the cooperation between the inside and outside of Datang that it led to the demise of Eastern Turkic.

Since Ashinasheer hated Xue Yantuo, he naturally hated Datang too, and Jieli Khan is still under house arrest in Chang'an.

"General Manager, we wiped out 20 cavalrymen of the Western Turks and captured Tong Eshe alive. Now the Western Turks don't have many troops at all. We should dispatch troops as soon as possible to wipe out the Western Turks in one fell swoop." Hou Junji said.

He led the army to attack the north of the Western Turkic camp, but let Batu lead the people to escape. In this way, he didn't get much credit at all.

Li Daozong pondered for a while, shook his head, and said: "It's not urgent. There are more than 5 prisoners now. The guards alone will contain a lot of our army. In addition, after a big battle just now, most of the soldiers in the army Injured, you should cultivate yourself."

"General Manager, soldiers are precious and fast. If it drags on for a long time, won't it give the Western Turks a chance to breathe?" Hou Junji showed a ruthless look in his eyes, and said, "As for those captives, just kill them and keep them. Not only to prevent them from rioting, but also to waste food."

"Sigh~"

When the generals present heard Hou Junji's words, they all looked at Hou Junji in horror.

This is more than 5 human lives, but from Hou Junji's mouth, it seems like [-] ants.

Most of the generals present were experienced in many battles and had seen too many deaths, so they had already become numb.

Not to mention, in the war that just ended, a total of 12 soldiers of the Western Turks and the Tang Dynasty died.

But those were those who died on the battlefield, and what Hou Junji wanted to kill were [-] unarmed soldiers.

"Boss, it's ominous to kill prisoners, you can't do that." Cheng Yaojin objected.

Generals who killed prisoners were not uncommon in history.

Bai Qi pitted and killed 40 Zhao troops, and Xiang Yu pitted and killed 20 Qin troops.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Tuoba Guikeng killed [-] Yan troops.

Although they were forced to kill the prisoners, none of the generals who killed the prisoners ended well.

In addition, most of the ancients believed in gods, and believed that those people had received retribution, and they were even more repelled against killing prisoners.

In addition, the grassland war is not over now. Once the prisoners are killed, the Turkic people will definitely die rather than surrender in the following wars.

Anyway, surrender is death, if you don't surrender, you can still live, who would surrender foolishly?

"Don't mention the killing of the prisoners. This old man doesn't want to reveal anything about it." Li Daozong said with some displeasure.

Once the news spread, the fifty thousand soldiers would definitely riot.

Hou Junji said: "The general is reckless, but the general is thinking about the Tang Dynasty, and it is really impossible to give the Western Turks a chance to breathe. The general will ask the general to send [-] cavalry to the general. The general is willing to run thousands of miles. , destroy the Tongeshe tribe."

Lin Xuan's eyes flashed, and he felt that this was Hou Junji's real purpose.

As long as the Turks are not killed, once the prisoners are killed, even if the Western Turks are wiped out, hidden dangers will continue.

At that time, in order to appease the anger of the Turks, Li Shimin would probably kill Hou Junji, who had killed the prisoners, to appease people's hearts.

It is impossible for a shrewd person like Hou Junji not to have thought of this, how could he put himself in danger.

He clearly knew that Li Daozong would not agree to kill the prisoners, so he said so on purpose, and then offered to lead his troops to attack Tong'e's troops as the next best thing.

Although Tong Eshe was captured alive, his tribe is still there.

There is the wealth that Tong Eshe has accumulated for many years. If you can get it, then the credit can be said to be very great.

Li Daozong hesitated a little, and he also knew the truth that soldiers are expensive and fast.

Moreover, Tong E was captured, and if Datang did not send troops there, Yuan Qi would not let this piece of fat go.

"No, now the army has just gone through a fierce battle. Not to mention that people are exhausted and everyone is wounded, it is not suitable to send troops again." Li Daozong finally chose to seek stability.

Now that the Western Turks are seriously injured, even if they don't send troops, as long as they fight steadily in the future, it will not be difficult to destroy the Western Turks.

But once the lone army goes deep and suffers serious losses, it can only retreat.

A war is not something that can be launched if you want to. Once you withdraw your troops, Datang will not be able to send troops again in a short time.

Then the result of the battle now is meaningless.

Hou Junji was a bit unwilling, but Li Daozong was the coach, and Li Daozong disagreed, so there was nothing he could do.

"Good news! Good news! Great victory in the grassland! Our army killed [-] enemies and captured [-] prisoners!"

The postman who delivered the good news rode his horse into Chang'an and galloped towards the palace while shouting.

This news, like throwing a stone on a calm lake for a moment, caused ripples.

"Did I hear you right?" A middle-aged man said in disbelief.

His youngest son is a mansion soldier, and he also went out with the army this time. The victory on the front line means that his son's chances of surviving have greatly increased.

"You heard me right, a great victory in the grassland, my Tang army killed [-] enemies and took [-] prisoners, haha!" A person beside him laughed.

The news of the great victory caused Chang'an to erupt, and the people who heard the news were all overjoyed.

Since the beginning of the Five Husbands, the Han people have been the targets of bullying by foreign races.

The foreign race called the Han people two-legged sheep.

This is not called by foreigners to humiliate the Han people.

Sheep are the main food of the nomads, and the foreign races do not regard the Han people as people at all, but as food.

During the Five Husbands and Chaos China period, countless Han people were eaten by foreigners as food.

After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, in order to stabilize the Eastern and Western Turks, they married with them many times.

Li Yuan fought for the world, fearing that the Turks would intervene, and even surrendered to the Turks.

After Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, Jieli even led troops to kill outside Chang'an City.

Li Shimin emptied the national treasury and forged a Weishui alliance before Xieli retreated.

It can be said that the hatred between the Turkic people and the Han people is very deep.

Baiweiju, the long-term arrangement of the top ten restaurants, is basically full of seats at this time.

Many people are talking about the news of the big victory.

"Everyone, our boss said that in order to celebrate the big victory, all the restaurants are free today." The shopkeeper smiled.

This scene happened everywhere in Chang'an, and many people even bought firecrackers and set them off.

Royal Palace

Li Shimin was stunned for a long time when he got the good news of the victory, and soon Li Shimin's hearty laughter resounded from the Ganlu Hall.

After a long time, when Li Shimin got tired of laughing, he stopped and read the news carefully.

Li Daozong's victory report recorded the course of the war in great detail.

Li Shimin was keenly aware that the victory this time was due to the loud noises that frightened the Turkic warhorses.

Otherwise, even if Datang was able to sneak attack successfully, the damage would not be so small.

Li Shimin suddenly thought that there was a loud noise when Lin Xuan met the family before.

He also asked Lin Xuan, but Lin Xuan didn't say anything.

But now Li Shimin saw the effect of that mysterious thing on the battlefield, and his heart was burning.

If you can get this thing, wouldn't it be invincible to deal with cavalry in the future?
