Chapter 385 Li Jing won the battle
Three days passed without realizing it.
When Cheng Chumo pressed Jie Li Khan back to Yinshan, the Turkic tribes had already surrounded him, and he had the momentum to directly eat the Tang army.
Li Jing did not choose to withdraw his troops. Now Jie Li Khan is in his hands. He can use Jie Li Khan to transform the Turks into various parts and then defeat them one by one.
Capturing the thief first, he has captured Jie Li now, and the war has been won halfway!
Sure enough, the Turkic troops were not united. After Jie Li was captured, several troops immediately retreated, and the remaining troops were their own leaders. They were no match for the Tang army at all. They were soon defeated by Li Jing.
The nations on the grassland have always been profit-oriented. In the current sentence, they have no eternal friends, only eternal interests. When the Turks were defeated, the tribes that originally depended on the Turks immediately ran to the Tang Dynasty.
Clustered between two major powers, they can only be fence-branded!
In three days, the news of Li Jing's victory had been passed back to Shuofang City. When Zhang Yi heard the news, he was not very happy.
Although Li Jing won a great victory, he offended too many people this time, so that not many generals in the Tang army were willing to interact with him.
Fortunately, Li Jing offended so many people. Otherwise, he would have left Shuofang City, the most important base of the Tang army, and ran to Yinshan. Just doing this would be enough to lose his head.
Even if Li Jing joins him, there will be many generals in the Tang army who come out to protect him, not to mention Tang Peng and his son, Cheng Chumo and Niu Jinda.
Zhang Yi closed his eyes and glanced for a while, then spoke to Yue Shiyi and Lao Zhong behind him. "This Chief Li won the battle. We are ready to clean up and go back to Chang'an!"
In fact, there were 100,000 people in his heart who were unwilling to go back. Although there were Zhangjiazhuang, Li Hui, Zhang Xiang, and many people he cared about, if he went back, he had to face a problem that he had to face.
That's what happened to him and Yang Su, the princess of the previous dynasty.
This matter is inevitable, he has to face it, and Yang Su is now at his residence and does not plan to leave.
"It's a headache." Thinking of these many things, Zhang Yi couldn't help but rub his temples.
Even if he encountered difficult things before, Zhang Yi never felt that headache.
Now our great His Majesty Li Er is his father-in-law, and he has a beautiful wife at home and is pregnant. He ran out to make trouble. When he goes back, no matter what excuses he makes, he will probably be skinned by his father-in-law.
"It's a blessing or not a disaster, it's a disaster, we can't avoid it. Let's face it calmly!"
Now that it’s useless to think about it, it’s useless, so Zhang Yi simply didn’t think about it. Anyway, it’s still half a month before returning to Chang'an.
What we need to think about next is how to reward the army. Li Jing led the victorious army back and guarded Shuofang City in the rear. He must prepare some cattle and sheep to reward the army.
"Monthly 11th, go and arrange it, let Wang Wu and the others prepare, prepare some of the cattle, sheep and other cattle, sheep we caught during this period. When the army returns, slaughter and reward the army immediately!"
After receiving the order, Yue Siyi bowed and left.
Zhang Yi's eyes were still looking in the direction of Yinshan.
If Li Jing wins this war, he will inevitably capture many prisoners. I don’t know whether he will kill these prisoners or capture them back.
If Li Jing could bring back the prisoners, then Zhang Yi would have an excuse to drag him here and drag him until he was late before returning to Chang'an.
And he is not completely delaying time at the border. Those prisoners will use great uses in his hands. If he solves it well, he can even make His Majesty Li Er happy and it is not impossible to save his sins!
You should know that these prisoners are of no use at all in the hands of the Tang army. They not only have to spend a lot of money to support them and provide them with food and drink, but also have to spend a lot of manpower to watch them serve them. Sometimes they even riots and even die some Tang army soldiers for no reason.
In short, these prisoners were just a complete burden in the hearts of Tang soldiers, besides military merits.
Therefore, many Tang soldiers captured the Turks and received military merits, and either killed them or released them. When they needed military merits in the future, they would catch a group of people.
Especially in the eyes of the Tang army officers, these prisoners were just some food buckets that would only consume their food and grass.
But in Zhang Yi's hands, their role is great. Once the labor reform system is promoted, then a large number of prisoners can help the Tang Dynasty open up the Hetao area.
You should know that the Hetao area is very fertile. Although it has been fought for years, the land here is really nothing. Once it is opened, it will definitely be a great thing for the Tang Dynasty.
Now Li Er is planning to implement the trest system proposed by Zhang Yi in the Hetao area, which requires a large number of people to farm and grazle. Zhang Yi does not want the regular soldiers to pick up hoes and plow the fields and sheep, so these prisoners are the best choice.
At that time, these prisoners will not only farm and support themselves, but also leave some surplus for the Tang Dynasty. And most importantly, they will indeed open the Hetao without any fat and blowing power.
After this operation, even if the Tunbao system truly formed a scale, it would be much more convenient for the Tang Dynasty to deepen its tentacles into the grassland.
The key to all this depends on what Zhang Yi did.
If Zhang Yi can do this, it would not be too much to ask the great Majesty Li Er to make a plea for pardon!
Thinking of this, Zhang Yi immediately stood up. He needed to go back to his residence to write down all these things, and then list the plans one by one to execute them one by one.
Now this matter is related to his neck, and he cannot be careless.
When he returned to his residence, he saw Yang Su washing clothes for him. Tianran looked like a young wife, which made Zhang Yi stunned for a moment.
A dignified princess actually wants to wash clothes for herself!
Although Yang Su's purpose was clear at the beginning, it seemed that since that day, Yang Su never mentioned the matter of Taiping's responsibilities, nor did he mention the restoration of the Sui Dynasty. It seemed that everything had nothing to do with her. Her current identity was just a young wife.
However, Yang Su is the best. In this case, Zhang Yi will be more confident that Li Ershe will forgive his crimes.
