Chapter 236 Returning to Liaoyang
An Lushan was obviously worried, and Li Fei did not take up the other two stone cities of the Khitan in front of him.
Because Huaixiu Khan was dead, the population and wealth of the royal city were captured by Li Fei and went to Andong. The remaining two stone cities were almost without any resistance. As soon as An Lushan's army arrived, he directly surrendered to An Lushan.
Li Fei did not take away all the results of the Khitan. While An Lushan was angry, he did not lose control. Otherwise, he would not know if he would be angry and sent troops to kill Andong and kill Li Fei, the kid.
After conquering the Xi tribe and the Khitan tribe, An Lushan no longer has any scruples. He just waits to make up for the losses of this war, and he can raise the flag at any time.
An Lushan hated Li Fei and wanted to eat Li Fei's flesh and blood raw, but he also wanted to rely on the victory of this war to get rewards from the court and improve and strengthen his strength.
This time, An Lushan defeated the Khitan and other 150,000 cavalrymen, and he himself lost about 40,000 people.
After occupying two other stone cities of the Khitan and completely controlling the Khitan, An Lushan did not return to Youzhou and still stationed troops in the Khitan territory. The two minions who were waiting for the escape to surrender themselves.
After waiting for two days, the servants came first, and they dared not to come. The Khitan was over. If they did not surrender voluntarily, once An Lushan's army reached their territory, it would definitely be bloody and the losses would be even heavier.
An Lushan was not polite and asked the servants for 20,000 war horses and 100,000 cattle and sheep from the servants.
The heads of the Pugu tribe turned green when they heard this. This was almost half of their Pugu's wealth. A few days passed just now, and the remaining cattle and sheep were mainly lambs and calves. The tribe had to rely on these lambs and calves to reproduce more cattle and sheep. At this time, An Lushan asked 100,000 of them to leave, and this year the tribe was sad.
However, no matter how big An Lushan spoke, the leader of the Pugu tribe dared not to follow, because the consequences of not following will inevitably be greater.
An Lushan was very happy to obtain 20,000 war horses and 100,000 cattle and sheep from the Pugu tribe. Although he conquered the Khitan tribe, he had always planned to conquer the Khitan tribe like conquering the Xi tribe. Therefore, it was difficult to exploit the Khitan tribe. Instead, he had to give some supplies to the Khitan tribes to make the Khitan tribe grateful, so he could only supplement the two tribes Pugu and Uluo.
Now that the Pugu tribe is coming, I think the Ulu tribe will arrive soon.
An Lushan endured his anger at the Ulu tribe and considered how many cattle, sheep and horses he had to ask for from the Ulu tribe to relieve the irritation of the Ulu tribe's slack surrender.
Unfortunately, An Lushan didn't know at all. The Uro tribe he was waiting for was afraid that he would speak too much and did not dare to come to see him. Instead, he went to the Anton Protectorate.
--------
When Li Fei returned to the Andong border with the population, cattle, sheep and other supplies captured from the Chifeng royal city, he heard that the three Khitan tribes were defeated, Huaixiu Khan died in battle, and An Lushan occupied the Khitan.
As expected, Li Fei was not surprised at all, and Li Fei did not tell the captured Khitans, nor did he tell Princess Yan Gu, for fear that the Khitan princess would not be able to bear the news of her father Khan's death, which would affect her injuries and would die.
Two more days later, Li Fei finally returned to his old nest, Liaoyang City.
He took out three thousand iron cavalry, but brought back nearly twelve times the prisoners, as well as herds of cattle, sheep and horses. The people in Liaoyang City were filled with joy, and Li Fei's prestige was pushed to the peak.
Lying on the stretcher, Princess Yangu finally survived until now, and her injuries improved day by day. It seemed that she could not die for the time being. She felt very ashamed that she grew up in the royal city and was the pearl in her father's hand Khan's hand. The entire Khitan spoiled her. She never thought that she would become a prisoner of others in such a day.
Li Fei asked Du Fu and some officials of the Protectorate Office to arrange for Khitan prisoners.
Khitan women have much better arrangements because they grow on the grasslands, and there is almost no way out for women to leave men.
When a man becomes an adult, he has to participate in the war to resist conquests from other tribes, or conquer other tribes. It is very common to die in battle. So in order to survive, grassland women usually follow another stronger man after their husbands die, and those with children will take the children with them. They even follow another man. This man goes out to fight and die the next day, and some women even obey more than ten men in their lifetime.
The grassland is so cruel, so whether it is Khitan women or other grassland women, they have been taught since childhood to worship the strong, follow the strong, and obey the conquerors' ideas. They generally have no concept of race. Which tribe conquered them and brought them wherever they were.
It is basically a concept of being content with everything.
It is easy to arrange those Khitan children who are not yet sensible. When they grow up, they will not remember that they were once Khitans.
On the contrary, many of the Khitan teenagers brought back were difficult to deal with. Compared with women, the grassland men were taught since childhood, just the opposite. They had to protect the tribes at all costs, protect their own women, and conquer other weak tribes. They were purely the concept of strong people, and many ideas had been stereotyped.
In this regard, Li Fei could only use brainwashing techniques to concentrate them on educating them, and teach them Chinese characters. While adapting to the Han culture, he told them every day the origin and development of the Khitan, and told them that many of them were actually Han children, but when they were still in their infancy, they were robbed and kidnapped and became Khitans. Then they often gave examples. For example, in their lives in the Chifeng royal city, they must have seen with their own eyes that when they came back from tribe war, they brought some babies back. When they were young, many of them were like those babies brought back, or their father was one of the babies brought back at one of the stages, etc.
Anyway, just tell them and give them a reason, and there is a great possibility that they were originally Han people.
A person can convince himself from the heart with a reason, and then have a better life than before, and will forget the past.
Li Fei didn't know if he could completely transform these Khitans into Han people like this, but he had to do this for the time being.
There were more than 200 adult Khitans who were captured. They were stubborn about these adult Khitans, so Li Fei didn't have the patience to brainwash them. However, Li Fei did not go too far. He just asked them to do some mining and road construction first, and as long as they were honest, they did not abuse them, and gave them enough food every day. After all, these adult Khitans would be of other use in his plan in the future.
It is worth mentioning that Yelucha, the Khitan general who brought more than 2,000 Khitan cavalry to block the attack of Li Fei and other Andong cavalry, was not dead. He was hit by Lu Xin with a knife and fell on his back. He was seriously injured and unconscious. He was also rescued by Li Fei after discovering it.
