- Things are often like this, the more you expect something to happen, the less likely it will happen; if you have no desire for it, then it will often appear inadvertently. Meng Ju had no longer cared about the hope of capturing Ashina Huhe, but suddenly, this matter came up again.
In the afternoon, when Meng Ju was taking inventory of his victory items in the camp - the mountains of gold bowls, gold plates, gold candlesticks, and gold knives - there was a sudden noise outside, and the soldiers outside were cheering loudly.
Meng Ju sent a soldier out to see what was going on. The soldier quickly ran back and reported happily: "Supervisor, they have captured the demon chief!"
"who?"
"Ashnahuhe! He was captured by our people!"
Hearing the news, Meng Ju immediately threw aside the golden candlestick inlaid with red gems and said eagerly: "Bring him in!"
When Ashina Huhe was brought in, Meng Ju was surprised by his extraordinary size: from the appearance, this Turkic Khan looked more like a warrior than a monarch. He is tall, with a body shape somewhere between bloated and strong. His arms exposed outside his coat are white and thick. His broad shoulders and huge head give people a strong sense of momentum and oppression. Although he had become a prisoner, Khan's attitude still seemed very arrogant. He looked around unscrupulously, with an aggressive and provocative look in his eyes.
Angered by Khan's nonchalant attitude, Wang Hu, who was accompanying Meng Ju, was furious and shouted: "Wuna Demon Chief, you were defeated and captured. Now that you have seen the governor, why don't you kneel down and beg for mercy? "
Ashina Huhe looked at Wang Hu with disdain. Just like a tiger looking down on the barking of a hound. He did not kneel down, but shouted loudly. Meng Ju turned around and asked the interpreter: "What is he talking about?"
"He asked. Are you the Governor of Northern Xinjiang?"
"Tell Chief Di that I am the Earl of Wei, the Governor of Northern Xinjiang, the Censor of Zuodu, and the Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion! Ask him. What does he think after meeting me today?"
Hearing the message from the interpreter. Khan looked at Meng Ju with a look of surprise in his eyes: Is the thin and gentle young officer in front of him the powerful and invincible general and the governor of Northern Xinjiang?
"The Khan said that if it hadn't been for this snowstorm and thunder, everyone's positions would be reversed now. The one who would be the prisoner would be you, the Commander-in-Chief."
Meng Ju snorted. He also admitted that the success of this sneak attack was indeed a bit lucky, but when Ashina Huhe said this, he would definitely not admit it - just like in later generations, which actor or singer admitted that his winning of the award was all due to his parents or Unspoken rules? Everyone will only say that they work very hard and attentively when filming and singing. The implication is that you guys, don¡¯t make any mistake, I am a very capable person.
People share this sentiment. Naturally, Meng Ju refused to admit that he won the fight because of the cheat. He shouted righteously: "Tell this Chief Di, those who have the destiny of heaven will help themselves. The Turkic demons often do injustice, kill indiscriminately, and act against nature. Naturally, nature hates people. And we, the soldiers of the Wei Dynasty, He is a righteous teacher who protects the environment and the people. He is blessed by God. The soldiers work together and obey the destiny. Naturally, everything goes smoothly. How can it be invincible to have a moral teacher to fight against the violence and injustice of you and others?"
When the translator translated Meng Ju¡¯s words, Ashina Huhe looked disdainful. He spat loudly on the carpet, which made Meng Ju¡¯s anger suddenly rise.
The Khan chirped again, and the interpreter translated it again: "The Khan said that a bloody horse can catch up with the enemy's footsteps, and a sharp saber can cut off the enemy's neck. The warriors of the grassland only believe in these, only believe Fast horses and knives, don¡¯t believe in destiny, morality and all that nonsense. Governor, you are not a hero when you take advantage of someone¡¯s unpreparedness to make a sneak attack. If everyone sets out and fights with real swords and guns, he will definitely not lose to you. .¡±
"Bah, is a defeated general worthy of his words? Tell this guy, our soldiers are capable and sharp. Even in a head-on confrontation, one of our soldiers is worth ten, and it will be easy to defeat a mob like you!"
"The Khan said that he was not convinced. He said that he had three thousand brave Golden Horde guards under his command, all of whom were invincible heroes. If it were not for the lack of time to put on the battle armor, those three thousand warriors alone would It is enough to withstand your entire army, the Governor. He also said that the people of the Southern Dynasties are despicable and shameless, and can only make sneak attacks and dare not challenge the warriors of the grassland openly"
"What a shame! Tell him, we have seen the Turkic Golden Account Guards before. Even if we fight openly, you will still lose. During the battle of Jing'an, we have seen what kind of Golden Account Guards you have. .¡±
"Khan said that in the battle of Jing'an, it was not them who lost, but the Rouran clan.??. Their Turkic tribe defeated the Wei army to a pulp, but they did not lose to the Wei army. "
"Bullshit! In my hands alone, I killed three or four Turkic captains of ten thousand, and ten or eight captains of thousands. As for your Golden Account Guards, we couldn't even count them! "
"The Khan said you were bragging He also made faces at you, stuck out his tongue and rolled his eyes"
Meng Ju was furious: "Nonsense, you don't need to translate this - bah, Khan, bragging is like a puppy, bragging will kill the whole family!"
Afterwards, Meng Ju recalled the scene that day and felt ashamed: one was a fierce general who ruled the northern Xinjiang, a patriot who vowed to defend the Central Plains; the other was an overlord of the grasslands, an ambitious hero who wanted to destroy China. He is also an overlord who is ambitious and dominates one side. When he encounters such a fateful enemy, there should be some fierce collision and some sparks of thought. He should say a few words: "Anyone who openly offends a strong man will be punished no matter how far away he is." The cruel words that have been passed down through the ages come out; or the sympathy between the two heroes, the true hero recognizes the hero, and the emotion "how can there be glory when there is good friendship", which is not without the dignity of a hero.
But like now, two overlords who command thousands of armies are quarreling like children who are not convinced after losing a fight - even the subordinates present can't bear to see Meng Ju's lack of standard and taste.
???
The generals all agreed: "Exactly, how can a defeated general speak bravely? Chief Di is just a tough talker. The governor just ignores him."
After scolding each other, Meng Ju also came to his senses: Why should I compete with this idiot?
He waved his hand to the soldiers to drag the Khan out. The latter refused to leave. After shouting loudly, the interpreter translated it in time. It turned out that what the Khan said was, "If the Governor is a real hero, he should be let go. Everyone reorganizes their troops and fights again!" "
The interpreter has not finished speaking. Everyone burst into laughter: "This Chief Di has a good idea. He can escape with his life by playing with his tongue. Do you really think we are fools?"
"Hey, Khan. We are not afraid of fighting you again - but your soldiers and horses are all lying in the green valley. How do you wake them up? You can't wake them up, do you want us to fight with the ghosts? Fight?"
Meng Ju stared at the Khan for a long time, not sure whether this guy was really stupid or pretending to be stupid. He shouted angrily: "Drag him out, drag him out and kill him!"
After hearing Meng Ju¡¯s order, Khan¡¯s face suddenly turned pale. He shouted loudly: "Grand Governor, youcan't kill meyou should give me to the emperor"
Meng Ju was stunned: "Can you speak our words?"
By this time, Khan was sweating profusely. The calm composure he had just now had long since disappeared. He babbled aloud, and the interpreter said: "The Khan said, you cannot kill him indiscriminately, the Governor. He is the king of a country, a prince of the grassland. According to the usual rules, you should dedicate him to the Wei Dynasty." The emperor, let the emperor deal with him. As the governor of Northern Xinjiang, you have no right to kill a prince of his status This is beyond your authority, and you will be punished by the emperor."
Meng Ju looked around and said with a smile: "You can't tell, this big man is quite familiar with our rules!"
In one battle, annihilating tens of thousands of enemies, exterminating his clan, and holding his king to trial was an incredible military achievement during the Wei Dynasty. According to normal procedures, Meng Ju should have reported to Luo Jing and captured the khan. In the capital, the emperor sacrificed to the Ancestral Temple and questioned Chief Di at the court. From this point of view, Khan was right. Meng Ju, as a frontline general, had no right to deal with a prisoner of war with his status as a prince. , could only be handed over to Luo Jing, and in the end, in order to show the generosity and grace of the Celestial Empire, the emperor would probably not kill him.
But the Khan did not understand that now is a special period, the Luojing court has ceased to exist in name only, and Meng Ju has long been granted the title of Marquis and Earl, reaching the first rank, which is no longer possible for promotion. Whether Khan lives or dies, it doesn't matter to everyone.
¡°Just now, Khan could appear so calm because he knew his life was not in danger. But now, when he encountered such a group of Wei army generals who acted out of common sense, Khan suddenly panicked. When life and death were at stake, the dignity of a prince and the magnanimity of a hero were all forgotten by Khan. Khan broke free from the sergeant's hand, knelt down, and kowtowed to Meng Ju repeatedly.
"The Khan said that he is willing to pay a million ransom, he is willing to be a vassal and pay tribute, and he is willing to be the most loyal and humble servant of the Governor. He only asks the Governor to spare his life. Please forgive the ignorant offense of the sinner!"
Seeing the contrast between the arrogant and respectful Khan in front, all the generals were stunned, and then burst into laughter: "I looked like a man just now."Yes, why did he turn into a kowtowing bug in the blink of an eye? Ganqing was just pretending to be a big-tailed wolf pretending to be a hero! "
Since the Huhe Khan had surrendered, Meng Ju didn't bother to kill him, so he just asked people to take him out - many prisoners were captured during this expedition, so it wouldn't be a big deal to bring an extra Turkic Khan with him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Battle of Qinggu Valley was so destructive that it took Meng Ju three days just to chase down the enemy and close the battlefield. Because there were so many trophies seized, gold, silver, tents, baggage and other property were piled up like mountains, and the sheep alone numbered tens of thousands.
For this reason, Meng Ju had to order all the soldiers to stop killing and capture enemy prisoners alive. It was not that Meng Ju had any kind intentions, but that there were too many trophies. If he couldn't grab some coolies to help, it would be impossible to transport them back. After three days and three nights of searching, more than 20,000 prisoners were captured and captured by various troops.
After defeating the main force of the royal tent in Qinggu Valley, Meng Ju originally wanted to find trouble with the Mohan tribe. However, the day after the battle in Qinggu Valley, Meng Ju received news that the Mohan tribe had fled in panic - no Wrong, they were fleeing, not evacuating. They didn't even have time to take away their tents and sheep, and the entire tribe of tens of thousands of herdsmen disappeared without a trace.
Meng Ju secretly speculated that Mohan's tribe escaped in such a panic. They didn't even have time to clean up the tents and sheep. This was certainly because they couldn't figure out the Wei army's background. In panic, he overreacted - the king's tent with tens of thousands of troops was destroyed in an instant. Then their small tribe with only a few thousand soldiers and horses was naturally no match for them; secondly, this was probably not intentional by the Mohan tribe: they left their tents and sheep behind, and while the Wei army was collecting the spoils, they You can escape further.
Since the Mohan tribe has escaped. Because the army carried so much loot and baggage, Meng Ju didn't bother to chase them. After packing up the belongings left by the Mohan clan. With a captive group of more than 20,000 people and a huge baggage and horse team, Dongping soldiers and horses began to march southward.
The gloomy wind and snow in the past few days have also turned around, and the weather has been fine all the way. All the troops were in a happy mood. December 10th. Meng Ju's troops encountered the troops and horses personally commanded by Wang Beixing on the Luohe Plain. The latter heard the news of the great victory and was afraid that Meng Ju would miss his way home, so he personally went to the fortress to rescue the troops and horses. This was Wang Beixing's statement, but When they met, this guy didn't pay homage to Meng Ju first. Instead, he ran to check the captured sheep and baggage, while he was tut-tutting in admiration. This made Meng Ju very suspicious of his bad motives.
On December 15, Meng Ju entered the border wall with a huge team of baggage. Arrive in Fufeng County. At the gate of Fufeng County, Meng Ju saw many familiar faces among the welcoming crowd: Xiao Heng, the general manager of the Jing'an Mausoleum Office, Xiao Heng, commander of the garrison brigade, and Ouyang Qing, inspector of the Integrity Department of the Dongping Mausoleum Office. . .
Meng Ju was very surprised. He pulled Ouyang Qing aside and asked, "Why are you here when you are not in Jing'an to help me look after my house?"
"Governor, the news of your victory in defeating the Turkic King in one fell swoop and wiping out tens of thousands of enemies has already spread. How can we still sit still in Jing'an? Everyone discussed it and agreed that we should come over to greet you, Governor, and take a look. Let¡¯s see if there¡¯s anything we can do to help.¡±
"That's okay - Ouyang, we brought some trophies back from the grassland, and I'll leave the follow-up processing to you. Work hard, keep working hard, young man, I believe in you!"
Looking at the mountains of baggage and thousands of dirty prisoners, Ouyang Qing felt like crying but began to deeply regret this decision. Led by hundreds of officials from the Integrity Department, Ouyang Qing worked non-stop for three days and three nights before he managed to make an inventory of the winnings. The list was as thick as a dozen pages.
Meng Ju took a cursory look and found that there were 23,000 sheep, more than 6,000 horses, 21,000 male and female prisoners of war, 170,000 taels of silver, nearly 100,000 weapons of all kinds, and grain. There are more than 10,000 buckets and more than 1,000 pieces of battle armor. . .
"Governor, the captured gold, silver, weapons and items are nothing more. We can recruit civilians and transport them back to Jing'an. Cattle and sheep are also easy to cook. We can allocate them to each brigade, soldiers, horses and meals. The excess can be sold to merchants in exchange for military expenses. . But there are more than 20,000 Hu prisoners of war - so many prisoners of war that even if the prison in Jing'an is bursting, it will not be able to contain them. With so many prisoners of war gathered together, with soldiers and civilians mixed among them, it will be a big deal if they cause trouble. How to deal with it? , I also need to ask the town governor to make a decision."
"The prisoners of war are currently being guarded by Wang Beixing's Fufeng Brigade. He has already told me about this. The problem is that these demon cubs are too big and too many. They have not shed their wild nature. There is a real danger of things changing if they stay together for a long time. "
Meng Ju pondered, and asked Ouyang Qing: "Ouyang, since it is difficult to take care of 20,000 people, it should be much easier to handle 10,000 people, right? What do you think, how about we kill half of them?"
Ouyang Qing was startled: "Governor, during the battle on the grassland, these barbarians were enemies of Master Wang. We will kill them if we can. But since we have brought them back, this - Governor, I apologize for my humble position." ?If you dare to say something, it is unlucky to kill prisoners. I read the history books and found that since ancient times, the generals who killed and captured did not end well. How can I not see the lessons learned from the mistakes of Wu Anjun and Chu Bawang? If you kill too much, you will be punished by God. You, the governor, bear the heavy responsibility of millions of people in the six towns, so please help. . . "
Meng Ju waved his hand and interrupted Ouyang Qing: "Okay, I'm joking with you, don't take it seriously."
Ouyang Qing was still in shock. He looked at Meng Ju with his heart pounding: "Just now, the expression and demeanor when the governor spoke did not look like he was joking at all."
The two discussed for a long time, and finally came up with a solution that was not a solution - since the demon captives were difficult to deal with when they were gathered together, they should simply break them up and distribute them to various towns.
"Needless to say, Dongping Town has no problem absorbing eight thousand Hu slaves. Road construction, city construction, mining, and herding all require a large number of manpower. Thousands of slaves are allocated to the seven mansions of Dongping. Each mansion has hundreds of slaves, so it shouldn't be difficult to take care of them.
For the rest, you notify General Li in Chicheng, Governor Lu in Wuchuan, and Governor Sun in Shuozhou, and ask them to each send people to collect the five thousand slaves back. This is free labor, and it is most useful for building border walls, cities, and roads. It doesn't matter if you kill them, they should be very happy.
Ouyang, after you return to Jing'an, you will make an announcement saying that the government is selling slaves and let the local wealthy families come to buy them quickly - this should be able to digest some of it. For the rest, you find some tooth traders and ask them to find a way to sell these slaves to other towns, so that we can get some money back. "
Meng Ju spoke very quickly, and Ouyang Qing was taking notes with a pen. After listening to Meng Ju's words, he said: "Governor, someone made a suggestion to me, saying that there are many strong and brave prisoners among the prisoners, and suggested that we can select them. Among them, the strong ones should be recruited into an army. I wonder what the governor thinks of this idea?"
Recruiting demon soldiers to form an army sounds like a weird idea, but Meng Ju knows that this is not a fantasy. This is an era in which the concept of family, country and nation is quite indifferent. The mainstream view of this era is "if you have milk, you are a mother, and whoever pays you will work for him." Because of the painful memory of the country's subjugation, the Southern Dynasties still adhered to the orthodox concept of "people who are not from our race must have different hearts." However, the Northern Wei Dynasty looked down upon the Hua-Yi defense, especially in Northern Xinjiang, where Hu and Han people lived together. , even Meng Ju¡¯s general Wang Hu himself was a mixed race of Hu and Han.
This is especially true on the grasslands. Tribes fight against each other. The victors annex the losers, the big tribes annex the small tribes, and the losers are absorbed into the victor's tribe to serve as slaves or soldiers. Many barbarians can't even figure themselves out. Which tribe does it belong to? Absorbing foreign soldiers as soldiers is a common thing on the grasslands, and it is even common in history - for example, the Western Region Protectorate in the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Hengshan Fanbing in the Song Dynasty, the new auxiliary army in the Yuan Dynasty, the Duoyan Sanwei in the Ming Dynasty, The Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and the Green Camp of the Qing Dynasty. From a practical point of view, having a group of soldiers from the grasslands on your hands will also help you fight deep into the grasslands next time.
"This proposal can be considered." Meng Ju paused for a moment, and then said seriously to Ouyang Qing: "But Inspector Ouyang, you need to know that the military is our foundation, and this matter is of great importance, so we must operate with caution. "
Even if Meng Ju didn't say anything, Ouyang Qing also knew that this matter was of great importance. He reported the plan to Meng Ju in detail: sending officers to the prisoner camps to preach our army's policies and recruit prisoners who voluntarily joined the army. If a prisoner is willing to join the army, he and his family will be freed. With this huge temptation, it is estimated that there will be many people willing to sign up. From the captives who voluntarily signed up, a thousand strong and strong ones will be selected. After half a year of training, after these captive soldiers have been converted into Chinese, they will be Scattered and replenished troops and horses were dispersed and replenished to make up for the missing personnel.
Meng Ju frowned upon hearing this: "It sounds good, let's do it."
Meng Ju stayed in Fufeng County for five days to deal with the disposal of the spoils of war. Then, he took the victorious troops and horses straight back to Jing'an, arriving at Jing'an on the 25th of December and entering the city.
??The news has already spread. The governor's expedition this time broke through the Turkic king's tent and captured the Khan in one fell swoop. On the day he heard the news, Jing'an City cheered and firecrackers flew into the sky. Now, the victorious Wei army returned in triumph, which pushed the festive atmosphere to its climax. Tens of thousands of residents came out of the city to welcome the king's triumphant return. Cheers of "Long live the Governor" resounded in the sky.
That night, the residents of Hecheng decorated the city with lanterns and colorful decorations to celebrate the victory. The whole city of Jing'an was bright, competing with the stars and the moon in the sky.
In this festive and joyful atmosphere, a piece of news spread like wildfire in the city: the Grand Governor~~-First update~~ is planning to take the most talented and talented girl Ouyang Qingqing in Jingan as his concubine.
Governor Meng, who has never been married, wants to take Ouyang Qingqing as his concubine. This is really a big event in Jing'an and even Dongping. When the news comes out, Jing'an is shocked.
