The battle in Tieshan has come to an end slowly.

At noon, the most sporadic battle is over.

The sky was clear, but a gust of wind blew, and the snow particles floating towards me were all red.

The Iron Mountain Khan Court of the Turks in the past was already broken by the Zhao army. The Turkic Khan Jie Li was frightened and fled, leaving behind his subordinates. Li Chongjiu walked on the reins, but saw the ground full of burned tents and most of the camps burned. Many Turkic people, as well as captured Turkic soldiers, were imprisoned by the Zhao army, and many were crying.

The Zhao soldiers happily broke up the battlefield, with countless cattle, sheep, war horses gathered together, as well as gold, silver and jewelry collected by the Turks for many years, including the last time when Huaihuang Town was attacked and the Turks robbed.

This time, I really got back with capital and profit. When Li Chongjiu arrived on a horse, countless Zhao soldiers and soldiers from all departments shouted to Li Chongjiu long live. As for the Turkic people's name, they were full of fear in their eyes.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Deyan was captured. He said he wanted to see Your Majesty."

Li Chongjiu was halfway through, and Zhang Xuansu reported to Li Chongjiu.

"Bring him here."

Soon, Zhao Deyan, wearing a Hu fur robe, was brought by the soldiers. He himself tied up, but his expression was calm, and there was still a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

However, when Zhao Deyan saw Li Chongjiu, he slowly knelt down in front of the horse and said, "Sinner Zhao Deyan, see Your Majesty!"

Ji Chuan looked at Zhao Deyan and said first: "Zhao Deyan, you are a Han Chinese. But you serve me. Over the past ten years, you have made suggestions for several generations of Khan of the Turks. Attack the Central Plains and plunder the people. It can be said that you are helping the evil and committing evil. Are you trying to survive when you meet Your Majesty today?

Zhao Deyan laughed at the sky, looked at Ji Chuan and snorted, "This is Mr. Ji. I heard that you hate evil, of course I can't stand traitors like me. People like me are not worthy of talking to you, so I'll ask."

Ji Chuan sneered: "Are you really not a person who is greedy for wealth and honor? Please cut this person into pieces."

Zhao Deyan shook his head and said, "Mr. Ji, you underestimate me too much."

At that moment, Zhao Deyan said to Li Chongjiu: "Your Majesty. I know I will die. I just want to ask Your Majesty about one thing. The Turkic Khan Court was broken, and the former overlord on the grassland had disappeared. Which tribe will replace the Turkic Khan? Is it the Western Khan who was content in the Western Regions and had constant civil strife, or the Tieler people in the Mobei Province, or the Shidexi tribe who defeated the Turkic?"

Hearing Zhao Deyan's words, Ying Hefu said angrily: "What do you mean, a dog thief? The Xi tribe in my room is serving Your Majesty, so the only one who can unify the grassland is His Majesty. What do you mean?"

Zhao Deyan glanced at Ying Hefu and said with a smile: "Maybe the Han people will unify the grasslands in the future, but it is not now. There are hundreds of tribes of grasslands, with different folk customs. Moreover, the area is vast and there are vast deserts as vast as the sea. If the county system is forcibly implemented, it will be counterproductive. Only by letting the tribes govern themselves."

"When the Han Dynasty unified the grasslands, it was just a control for a while. Later, the Central Plains were weak and all the grasslands in the Western Regions were thrown away. The previous car can be seen, and the army of the funeral, Your Majesty was the second Han man to conquer the grasslands after Hanwu. I, Zhao Deyan, admired you very much, and I think it is just around the corner to unify the Central Plains in the future."

Li Chongjiu said lightly: "Thank you for saying this. If you think you can spare my life by giving me some advice."

Zhao Deyan always smiled and said, "Your Majesty, even if you want to kill me the next moment, I still have to say this moment. However, I have been in the grassland for many years and I really don't want to see the Hu and Han families fighting again, causing trouble to the living beings. Your Majesty uses the method of trading to bind the interests of both Hu and Han people, which is a high strategy, but the only shortcoming is to maintain temporary safety, but it is rare to last for a long time, and lacks a strong guarantee of strength. This is the shortcoming, I beg Your Majesty to give a clear view."

"All nonsense!" Ying Hefu said, "Your Majesty, such a person should be killed immediately, so as not to stay here to deceive others."

Zhao Deyan said to Yingfu: "I have finished saying everything I want to say, and I have no regrets." After saying that, Zhao Deyan really stopped saying a word.

Li Chongjiu nodded after hearing this and said nothing, but he understood what Zhao Deyan meant. He took Zhao Deyan down from the left and right. The generals of the Zhao army beside him, the soldiers glared at Zhao Deyan and frequently called him a dog thief.

Zhao Deyan slowly left under the escort of the soldiers.

Later, Li Chongji ordered Xue Wanche to lead 10,000 troops to pursue Jie Li. Because Jie Li had few soldiers and horses, if he sent a large army to pursue him, it would be obvious that 10,000 troops would be enough. Near Yangshan, Li Chongji also sent Yuchi Gong to lead the army to rob. Jie Li could run away unless he had wings.

The capture of the battle of Tieshan was also counted. In the Iron Mountain Knife of Turkic Iron Mountain, a total of more than 200,000 cattle and sheep were seized, nearly 200,000 women, children and people of the Turkic tribe, and more than 30,000 other surrendered Turkic soldiers. Such a large seizure far exceeded any achievements of Yang Su's attack outside the frontier and Wei and Huo, and wiped out the main force of the Eastern Turkic in one battle.

As night fell, Li Chongjiu ordered his soldiers to kill the seized cattle and sheep to reward the three armies. The tribes who followed Li Chongjiu to fight were all very happy. They had been waiting for a day. In the past, they had been very rewarded with Li Chongjiu, so everyone was willing to serve him.

When the Turks were annihilated, the forces on the grassland would have to be divided again. Zhao State could not occupy all such a large piece of interests. For many people, as long as Li Chongjiu showed them a little, they would be satisfied. But many people were thinking more, and many people began to prepare for the future.

But now it is a grand banquet, allowing soldiers from various departments of the grassland to drink happily. There are countless cattle and sheep outside that are being put down, and the wine is like white water, which can be taken at will.

After setting up a guard at night, soldiers from all departments and the Han army drank happily, and at the banquet, they drank countless fine wines. The men on the grassland all had a good drink. In the tent outside, many people took off their hats and danced the Western Regions whirlpool dance.

As for the tent, Li Chongjiu held a banquet to entertain the leaders of all tribes. They were much better, but they were not as lively as outside. However, there were captive Turkic women around each of them. They also forced a smile and sat beside the generals to drink.

When Li Chongjiu saw that he was present, the generals did not dare to be too presumptuous, so he retreated with all his might.

After Li Chongjiu left, Tuli suddenly followed, but saw Tuli had something to say. Li Chongjiu immediately asked the guards to let him go.

Li Chongjiu said: "It's so hard that the night is already deep. If you have anything to say, it's better to say it tomorrow."

Tuli immediately lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, thanks to your actions, I can defeat Jie Li and get a great revenge, so I want to serve Your Majesty."

While speaking, Turi clapped his hands. His servant came with two beds of sheepskin sheets.

But seeing the woman's long silky hair exposed on the sheet, I smiled at Li Chongjiu and said, "Your Majesty, these two are both beautiful women of my Turkic, and they are national colors. I am trying to offer them to Your Majesty."

Seeing Tuli's behavior, Li Chongjiu turned around and smiled and said, "Tuli, you have never been to this with me, why has it changed today?"

Tuli showed a hint of embarrassment. It seemed that this person was not used to talking to others by himself. But Tuli still said with a stern aid: "This is to repay Your Majesty. In addition, I also want to ask Your Majesty to let me stay in Tieshan and inherit the position of Turkic Khan. I beg your Majesty to agree."

Tuli knelt down and kowtowed to Li Chongjiu, "I did this not because I had selfish intentions. Your Majesty Ashina Sheer led 30,000 troops to cross the desert north to set up a Khan Court in Dujin Mountain. And his brother Ashina Momo is also a major Turkic force. If the two brothers join forces, they will likely control the grassland. So I asked Your Majesty to guard here and supervise the two. Tuli is willing to swear to Your Majesty that you will always keep the grassland together, live in harmony with Da Zhao, and never betray them."

Li Chongjiu helped Tu Li up and said, "I know your request in my heart. Let me think about this matter and make a decision after everyone discusses it in the future."

Tuli didn't know what to say for a moment, and it was unclear whether Li Chongjiu agreed. Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "I have accepted your beauty."

Tuli was overjoyed when he heard this and retreated immediately. Li Chongjiu knew that if he did not accept it, Tuli would be nervous, but if he received it, Tuli would be determined in his heart. At the moment, Jie Li had just left, and the power was empty on the huge grassland.

Li Chongjiu firmly believed that no matter whether it was Tuli or Ashina, he wanted to fight for this position. In fact, not only Ashina, but also led his troops north to the desert to the Ashina Sheer in Yudujin Mountain.

Mobei has a great control over the grassland. Today, many tribes on the grassland rise from Mobei and then migrate to the south of the desert. This is also the habit of nomadic peoples' migration. However, in Li Chongjiu's eyes, Mobei is beyond the reach. It is too far from Youjing, and it is not something that Li Chongjiu can control at present. Even if he crosses the desert and defeats Ashinasheer, a new tribe will replace him.

But he could not promise to give Mo Nan to Tuli, and Ashina and the other two. First, they were not their own confidants, and secondly, this time they defeated the Turks, the Shide Xi tribe was the most rewarding. They paid such a great price to win the battle for Li Chongjiu. If Li Chongjiu rewarded the vast grassland to the Turks, it would be obviously unfair to Shide Xi tribe.

The first step to eliminate the Turkic grasslands was the beginning.

Li Chongjiu attributed the following problem, and that traffic barriers should be eliminated. To truly conquer a region, it is necessary to eliminate the barriers between mountains and rivers in this region. The Grand Canal built by Yang Guang was centered on Luoyang and connected Youjing, Chang'an and Jiangdu. Therefore, the Sui Empire was not the most powerful since the Qin and Han Dynasties, but its centralization was far greater than that of the Qin and Han Dynasties.

However, Yang Guang fell on the road to win over the Jiangnan family and want to balance the power of the Guanlong family and establish a new interest group. This path was not feasible, but he was too impatient. Yang Xuangan's rebellion was the first time the Guanlong family resisted Yang Guang, but he did not learn from his lesson and still insisted on his own.

This example can be learned from Li Chongjiu. If you want to truly unify the grassland, you will firstly eliminate the traffic barriers on the grassland and desert, and secondly, you will establish a new interest group for the Hu and Han people, just like Li Chongjiu merged the gentry, poor families, and businessmen to form a new force group.

To eliminate traffic barriers, because there are no canals on the grassland, Li Chongjiu had to promote trains and railways. This is a matter of high technological factor. It is difficult to do if Da Zhao has not yet met the standards of the industrial revolution. However, as long as Li Chongjiu established this direction, it can be completed in decades or even a hundred years.

As for the new interest groups, this is what Zhao Deyan and himself said just now. This matter was not something that happened overnight. Li Chongjiu did not want to intensify the conflict between the two sides, but now he has to start.

The next day, Li Chongjiu discussed with all the generals, and everyone believed that all the captured Turkic soldiers should be moved south, and burned the Turkic Tieshan Khan Court and then returned south. Li Chongjiu decided to adopt this opinion

At this moment, news came from Yangshan that Yuchi Gong's army had already broken through the Yangshan Gaoque of the Turks, and walked around to the front of Jie Li's troops, blocking Jie Li's escape to the west.

Gaoque, Yangshan, is located in Hangjinhou Banner, Inner Mongolia today. Wei Qing led an army of 40,000 to set out from the clouds and used a roundabout attack tactic to break through Gaoque and annihilate the Xiongnu Aries King and Loufan King's troops in the Hetao land.

The Hetao area was rich in water and plants. Emperor Wu of Han built Shuofang City here, set up Shuofang County and Wuyuan County, and migrated 100,000 people from the mainland to settle there. He also restored the borders built by Meng Tian during the Qin Dynasty and the fortifications along the river, using Hetao as a front base for attacking the Huns.

When the news came, Zhang Xuansu suggested to Li Chongjiu: "The land of Shuofang County is owned by the Liang Shidu. Now that the Turks have been broken, the Liang Shidu is like a dog with a broken family, and is facing the attack of Li Tang. We might as well surrender to the Liang Shidu, and we will definitely agree."

Li Chongjiu nodded. He had gone out of Yanmen with Li Yuan and fought side by side with Liang Shidu, but at that time he was humble at that time and the other party didn't know him.

Li Chongjiu said: "This is a wonderful plan! Who is willing to convince Liang Shidu?"

At that moment, the general Yuan Junzhang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the last general and Liang Shi have old age, so you can go and persuade him."

Li Chongjiu said: "Yes, if you convince Master Liang, it will be a great achievement!"

Yuan Junzhang immediately took the order and left.

At the same time, Xue Wanche was also reported to him. Jie Li was defeated all the way westward, and sent his son Dieluoshi to gather the remaining troops along the way and recruited the tribes east of Tieshan. A group of troops gathered. After Xue Wanche led the light cavalry to pursue him, the two armies joined forces to fight. Jie Li had no intention of fighting. He didn't fight for a long time and immediately led his army to flee westward. Xue Wanche captured more than 2,000 Jie Li's troops.
