Chapter 200: Kill the Stick before Meeting
Asunasmo was originally a clan of the Eastern Turks, and he was also the son of Asunasmo. If Ye Hu Khan compared to the princes of the Tang Dynasty, then their Shikhan compared to the princes. Asunasmo was the prince's prince. Because of his cleverness and quick thinking, he was very favored in the era of Shibi Khan and Chuluo Khan. Although Asunasmo was a servant of Chen Ying, he was a Turkic nobleman.
Perhaps since he left, he had never experienced the feeling of starvation, nor did he enjoy the difficulty of survival of a weak tribe like A Dan. After all, if a wolf wants to eat sheep, he would not ask whether sheep is willing or not. After following Chen Ying, Ashinasmo enjoyed Chen Ying's wages. Chen Ying has always been generous to his people. At the level of Ashinasmo, in Chen Ying's palace, he was second only to Ma Zhou, Xu Jingzong, Guo Luo, and Zhou Qing, and could at least be in the top five.
Xu Jingzong's food and clothing cost is not counted, and the dividends of the peripheral industries alone are as high as more than 50,000 guan per year. Although Asunasmo is not as rich as Xu Jingzong and Ma Zhou, his income is also 5,000 guan. If he buys all the money to eat, it will be enough for a thousand families to eat for a year.
As the saying goes, the rich never solve the sorrow of the poor. Asanosmo looked at Adam with some depression, staring at the lamb leg meat in his hand like a hungry dog, and procrastination flowed out of his mouth. Asanosmo felt a little disgusted and handed the lamb leg meat in his hand to Adam: "You have never eaten meat before!"
"I've eaten it. The yellow cow in our family froze to death last winter. My brother and I have eaten meat!" Adan quickly teared and chewed the meat of lamb leg, while vaguely saying: "These two Turkic nobles are fighting almost every month. Most of our cattle and sheep are conquered. We can only eat hunger and fill. At the beginning, we can get some wild vegetables and wild fruits, but after August, let alone wild vegetables and wild fruits, we can't even get a grain!"
When he spoke, his mouth never left the lamb leg in his hand, and his words were quite vague.
Many people have a misunderstanding, believing that nomadic people raise cattle, sheep and horses for eating. In fact, this is not the case. In addition to eating cattle, sheep and horses, the ancient nomadic people raised cattle, sheep and horses for sale, and exchanged cattle, sheep and horses for food, iron pots, and tea supplies. Although nomadic people have herds of cattle, sheep and horses, they themselves are reluctant to eat because horses are also very expensive for them and they are reluctant to eat them at all. This is like many construction workers who build buildings, they build buildings, but they can't even afford to buy a balcony. They only eat some cattle and sheep that are dead and old, and most of them have to keep them for money and produce more livestock.
Adan gnawed the meat on the bones of the lamb leg. It was estimated that the dog was not interested in throwing the bone to the dog. However, Adan was still reluctant to throw it away. He held the bones of the lamb leg with both hands, and suddenly used force with both hands. With a "click", he broke the bones of the lamb leg and then sucked the bones inside the bones... Baji, Adan sucked with relish.
At this time, Asunasmo looked at Adan's eating habit like a starving ghost, and couldn't help but give him two kicks again, and Adan was not angry.
In Adam's world, people who give him food were good people. Chen Ying ate him three steamed buns, two big meat buns, and a bowl of rice. He decided to follow Ding Chen Ying from then on. As for Ashinasmo, giving him a leg of lamb and kicking him a few feet is nothing.
Finally, even the bone marrow sucked at all, the lamb leg bone was thrown to the ground by A Dan reluctantly. At this time, A Dan looked around, and the soldiers eating everywhere, looking at the iron drawer, steamed buns and meat buns in one drawer, empty and filled. A Dan said in surprise: "General Ashina, why do you have so much food? The soldiers also give white flour steamed buns and meat?"
Speaking of food issues, Asanasmo admired Chen Ying very much. In this area, the Western Regions were still the same. In the past, when under the control of the Western Turks, there were only a few small countries such as Gaochang, Wensu, and Cheshi, which planted grain, and the output was very limited, and it was only for the aristocrats to enjoy.
However, after Chen Ying came to the Western Regions, he not only ordered Zhechong Prefecture to carry out large-scale military farming, but in just three years, from nothing to something, there were tens of millions of grain fields in the Western Regions. If it weren't for the cultivation of cotton, it was estimated that the grain production in the Western Regions would exceed 20 million stones, and even if everyone in the Western Regions had eaten eight meals a day, they would not be able to finish it.
Asunasmo said proudly: "We have a lot of food. If there weren't enough vehicles, two million people wouldn't be able to finish it..."
Adan sighed, "You are so rich and powerful. Our tribe is not as rich as you, otherwise you wouldn't have to chew on the bark."
Hearing this, a young leader next to Adan, who was about fifteen or sixteen years old, asked timidly: "General Ashina, you are recruiting soldiers. I have a younger brother in my family..."
Seeing these people's pitiful appearance, Asunasmo shook his head and said, "I can't make the decision on this matter. If I can recruit soldiers, I must nod the head of the Dadu Protector. You should act well, be obedient, be able to endure hardships, not be afraid of death, dare to fight and fight. Chen Dadu Protector likes such soldiers. He will not be too few of such soldiers!"
Hearing this, A Dan felt aroused his heart. If all the brothers and sisters of the tribe were given to Chen Yingbing, wouldn’t they have to starve and get cold, and the old and weak in the tribe wouldn’t have to worry about food.
...
Chen Ying had just finished his meal. He was a clean person. The dust storm in the sky also made Chen Ying look dirty. At this time, Chen Ying was about to take a shower when he suddenly heard Zhou Qing report: "Most capital protects Tuqi Shi Heluo Shichu leads his troops to surrender!"
Chen Ying looked at Zhou Qing in surprise and said, "How many people did he bring?"
Zhou Qing said: "Don't pay more than 13,000 cavalry, now thirty miles away..."
The Turks were divided into the East. After the Western Turks, they actually changed their official system and system. The Eastern Turks established four major Yehu Khans from below the Khan, and twelve khans were established, which ruled each tribe. There were ten tribes in the Western Turks, divided into five tribes, five major qijin, and five major qijin. The five Dulu tribes were placed, and five major cubes were placed. The Turks were one of the five major cubes. The Turks were scattered in the Yili River Basin.
Chen Yingwei pondered and said, "Transfer."
After Zhou Qing immediately arranged for the command of the soldiers to go out, Chen Ying summoned Su Dingfang, Asunasmo, Zhang Shigui, Luo Shixin, Zhang Huaiwei and other generals.
However, what was very surprising was that Adan, a soldier, also entered the tent.
Chen Ying’s understanding of the Western Turks was very simple. He asked Adan: “Turkhi Shiheluo Shichuo, have you heard of this person?”
"I've heard it!" Adan thought for a while and said, "But I've never seen this person!"
Chen Ying laughed silently. Adan was just a young leader of a small tribe. It would be strange if he had ever seen He Luo Shichuo.
Chen Ying asked again: "What is this person's reputation?"
"Crazy, fierce..." At this point, Adan looked up at Chen Ying timidly.
Chen Ying said: "Don't be nervous, tell me how many troops there are in the Tuqi Shi tribe and how strong are they?"
Adan said: "The tribe of Tukha Shiheluo Shichu, also known as the eastern part of the sea, is mainly along the Yili River to the eastern part of the Yibohai Sea (not Balkash Lake). Once it is brought back to the nomadic areas, there are about 30,000 adult men in the entire tribe. Among the ten tribes of the Western Turkic surnames, it is not too strong or too weak."
Chen Ying estimated in his mind that a tribe with 30,000 adult men, plus the elderly, weak, women and children, had at least 100,000 people. Chen Ying waved his hand to signal Adan to go out, and he probably didn't understand other things.
Just as Adam walked to the door of the tent, he suddenly turned to kneel in front of Chen Ying and said, "Major Protector, Dadu Protector, please pity me... There are still many warriors in our tribe, and they are all willing to follow Dadu Protector to the world!"
Chen Ying smiled and said, "You are going to make a fortune in the world? That's not that easy to make a fortune. It's a job of keeping your head on your belt. They'd better stay and graze."
"We have no food in our tribe. If the Great Protector does not take them in, they will starve to death!" Adan said with red eyes: "Anyway, they are all dead. It's better to follow the Great Protector to go all over the world. We all can shed horses, and even if we follow the Great Protector to be a groom!"
Listening to A Dan's words, Chen Ying was very happy. At this time, he had already understood, and A Dan was also testing Chen Ying. Although he spoke passionately, his erratic eyes were actually betrayed his heart. Obviously, the two sides had not established a mechanism for cooperation. They were testing whether Chen Ying would treat them as cannon fodder to consume the enemy's arrows or physical strength.
Chen Ying smiled slightly and said, "The 500,000 elite troops under the command of the Great Protector (bragging), what can you not defeat? You should be safe and confident. If there is no food in the tribe, now you have not closed the mountains while the snow has not yet closed the mountain, and the road is being built in Gaochang. You go there, either to build roads or mining, and do some work within your ability, and you will never starve to death. Of course, you also know that there is no free lunch in the world, and you can only have food to eat when you work!"
Adan was ecstatic and kowtowed continuously on the ground, knocking blood out of his forehead, and then ran away.
Adan was anxious to tell his tribe members this good news, and he didn't have to worry that his tribe members couldn't get through this winter.
After Adan left, Chen Ying sorted out the information in his mind and asked the generals again: "Look at what the purpose of this Tuqi Shihai is to go to the east."
Luo Shixin laughed and said, "It is probably because we are looking at our army's magnificent and invincible. They think that the Western Regions may change, so they come to surrender to us. These tribes are like this. Let's see where the wind blows, they will fall to the side."
Asunasmo, Zhou Qing and others nodded and said yes.
Zhang Shigui was cautious and frowned slightly and said, "It is too early to say that the Western Turks collapsed, so it is better to be cautious."
Different positions and different views are naturally different.
From the perspective of Luo Shixin and others, they all think that the Western Turks have been defeated. Confidence is a good thing, but if confidence is too much, it is not a good thing.
Chen Ying smiled and said, "No matter what their intention is, let's talk about it."
No matter when, Chen Ying firmly believes that conspiracy is just a joke in the face of absolute strength. If He Luoshichuo is preparing to surrender, Chen Ying doesn't mind teaching them how to be a human being!
Of course, the killing stick before meeting is definitely indispensable.
