Chapter 60: Being convinced

After the war, Yang Sanggan cleaned up the battlefield and found that the small village at the end of Zhuhu Camp was not damaged or opened. It turned out that the small village was remote and simple, with only about twenty small tents, and they were not surrounded by fences. No one came out during the fierce battle last night. He guessed that it might be where the Uighurs piled up weeds, and no one came to attack the Tang army, so the camp was preserved. When people were sent to explore today, I was shocked when I was surprised. It turned out that there was no firewood, food and grass in this small village, but it was all people.

Yang Sanggan hurriedly sent someone to send a prisoner of Uighurs to ask what happened to these people. An informed Uighurs said: "This is a two-legged sheep camp, and there are untouchables in Tibetan Monument Valley."

It turned out that the Uighurs made a comeback shortly after the Tang army left the Tibetan Valley. The Uighur general was extremely angry when he saw that the Uighur guards in the valley were killed. He killed more than 200 people on the spot to establish his authority. The more than a thousand Tang people were like fish on the chopping board, and they were slaughtered. Since then, they regretted it, but how could it be useful?

After the Uighur army killed people and established their authority, they brought the rest of the people with the army to Zhaoshan. When they were preparing to attack, they either drove them into cannon fodder or slaughtered them. They did not give them food along the way, so they starved to death and died of illness and a large number of weak people.

At this time, Zhang Mai rushed to the "two-legged sheep camp" and saw that the tents were extremely simple and narrow, with seven or eight hundred Tang people still remaining. They were crowded in these twenty tents, and each tent had to squeeze thirty or forty people, even if they were not like this, Zhang Mai, Guo Luo and Yang Yi, who had just arrived, were so angry that he gritted his teeth.

Before they arrived, Yang Sanggan had already ordered people to rescue him. He was breathing in the open space. Many of them were hungry. Zhang Mai looked at them and wanted to say, "Before I left Zangbei Valley that day, I told you that there would be no good end to stay. Why don't you believe me?" But looking at their appearance, they couldn't speak. Although they were mourning for their misfortune, they were angry that they did not fight. They sighed and asked someone to take some dry food and rice porridge to fill their hunger.

Hundreds of people were dying of hunger. They ate dry food and rice porridge in just a few seconds. Looking at the envoy Zhang who met for the second time, they were grateful and ashamed. They all burst into tears, but none of them could say a complete sentence.

When Guo Shiyong asked how to deal with them, Yang Yi interjected and said, "Entertainment, no matter how bloodless people do, they will drive them away. They are out of sight and not upset!"

The hundreds of people were shocked when they heard this and begged: "Enter Zhang, please take us away!" "Don't want us, we will never refuse to believe you in the future." "We will follow you wherever you go, and we will never dare to be distracted."

The new recruits from the Wolf Tooth Camp felt sad when they saw it and came to plead with them. Xiao Shitou said, "Encourt, please take them in. After this time, everyone knows that they are wrong. Although my fellow villagers are not capable, they can still do the tiring work of giving them a meal, moving and lifting them, washing and feeding horses."

The people in the Tibetan Valley knelt all over the ground and said, "Yes, as long as the envoy does not dislike us, we will follow the envoy in the future, no matter where we go."

Zhang Mai couldn't bear to pay attention to them after all, and sighed: "Okay, after all, it's a compatriot, so I'll promise you for the time being." Hundreds of people were happy and kowtowed, and Zhang Mai said loudly: "Don't kowtow at any time! The road ahead is very hard. If you can't stand it and can't keep up, I won't stop waiting for you!"

Hundreds of people said, "Even if you can't keep up and die halfway, you won't dare to blame the envoy."

Zhang Mai called Yang Sanggan: "I'll leave these people to you, thank you for your hard work." He said to everyone: "We're going to set out soon. Although some of you need to be cared for, we don't have time to stop and wait for you. Now we have enough horses, and each one can share a horse for you to carry, but if you can't even ride a horse, there's nothing we can do."

Those who were particularly weak also said, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. As long as we give us a full meal, we can recover from the illness on the horse's back."

Zhang Mai heard that they were suffering so hard, and didn't know whether to admire or sigh. He asked Yang Yi about some information on the southern line. Yang Yi said: "A few people were coming dozens of miles away. I guess they were going here to meet, but these people fled one after another when they saw the defeated soldiers."

Guo Luo sighed: "It's a pity that our troops are too small after all. If we had more than five times the troops, we would be defeated and rushed directly into Balashaguon. Maybe it would really change the sky of the two major Kawahara Yili and Saiye! Isn't it magnificent to rebuild Saiye Town at that time!"

Yang Yi, Tang Renxiao and others were all moved by their hearts, but then they remembered that the Tang army did not have the premise to achieve this, and they were all left with empty sighs.

Zhang Mai said: "It is not possible to have short-sighted eyes, but not to be ambitious. But follow the existing conditions." He immediately ordered to go west today. Beizhu Hei-headed Wuhu came to follow him. Zhang Mai said: "Our Tang army is determined to be far away, and the road ahead is difficult to tell. Is your tribe going to embark on this road of death with us, or to find another place of rich water and grass to avoid the Uighurs? You must consider it clearly."

Hesheli thought to himself: "Although the Western Regions are large, our hands are covered with blood from the Uighurs. Where can we take the second way besides following the Tang army?" He said: "After this battle, our troops feared the power of the Tang Dynasty and were willing to follow the special envoy to overcome all obstacles to conquer the world!"

Zhang Mai said: "We are naturally happy when Blackhead Wuhu wants to fight side by side with us. But our march route is quite secret. If you must follow, the Kitanuma Blackhead Wuhuhe tribe must obey my command. If the tribe members violate the military law, they must deal with it according to law! I will declare this first."

Hesheli said: "If the envoy does not dislike me for being old, I am willing to be a guardian for the envoy."

Zhang Mai laughed: "Your Majesty is polite. Since your subordinate has such sincerity, we will not distinguish between each other in the future and be loyal to each other!"

Hesheli responded in unison with several elders: "We are willing to live and die with the Tang army and share good fortune and good fortune!"

All the food and herbs in Zhaoshan Palace were already over. The battlefield had been cleaned up that afternoon. Zhang Mai had given many gifts to the patriarch and elders of Zhuhu. After the war, Xi Sheng searched the battlefield and took them all back. Zhang Mai looked at the pile of gold, silver and treasures and smiled: "Although I rewarded these things to the Hu tribes, they had bad intentions, so they just thought that these things were stored in them for one night."

The Uighur cavalry and the Hu tribes did not dare to step into the Zhaoshan Palace within thirty miles in the next few days, so the Tang army had to set out calmly, Baotao Camp opened the way forward, Beizhu Hei Tou Wuhu followed, Yang Sanggan led Tang Min to form a logistics camp, Guo Shiyong led the captive camp, and behind Zhang Mai led the wolf-fang camp, and the rear of Yingyang camp. The captain of Yingyang camp was originally Guo Shiyong, but when he saw that Yang Yi's team was well-trained, the team leader and even the soldiers at the bottom were also obeyed him, so he took the initiative to give in.

Yang Yi also wanted to sit down as the captain, but he still refused in a hypocritical manner on his face. Unfortunately, his methods of making fakes were too clever, and that hypocriticality was obviously too excessive. Guo Luo smiled and said, "It is better not to refuse like this."

Zhang Mai thought to himself, "Shu Yong is very capable. Now the team is getting bigger and there is another place to use him. The Yingyang Camp has been formed, so it's okay to leave it to Yang Yi." He agreed and said, "Since Uncle Yong is willing to cultivate Ayi, let him be the one. Anyway, I was thinking that there was another big thing to bother Uncle Yong, and Uncle Yong would be fine." This sentence was for Guo Shiyong to listen to. Guo Shiyong smiled slightly but didn't say much.

The guerrilla army had only seven hundred cavalry when it came, but more than five thousand when it returned. Fortunately, there was still a lot of food in the Zhaoshan Palace. Now it has enough manpower and animal power. All the money and grain have been moved out. Whether men and women, they all rode on horseback, just like the entire tribe migrating.

There are many prisoners of this war. Those strong people have been branded with the eight characters of "Tang Dynasty's mighty power" and "loyalty to serve the country" and compiled into "Fanggui". More than a thousand other people are either weak, either disabled or seriously injured, and it is difficult to recover in the short term. Yang Dingbang drove him to Zhang Mai at the foot of Zhaoshan. More than a thousand people saw that all the clan leaders, chiefs, Dihekan and other officials were killed. They were panicked, afraid that their lives would end today.

But Zhang Mai said, "You are helping the evil, and I should have dealt with you very much, but I think that God has the virtue of being a virtuous person, the culprit has been killed, and you are all poor people, so I will let you go. Let me forgive you! Only this time, I will not be the case. After returning, I told the Yilihe tribes that if anyone dares to offend the power of the Tang army, he will definitely be killed!"

More than a thousand prisoners thanked him deeply, and Zhang Mai left without kowtowing them. Seeing that Zhang Mai had left, Yang Yi said coldly: "The special envoy is soft-hearted! What are you keeping these misfortunes?" He was talking about Turkic words, deliberately trying to make these prisoners understand.

The prisoners were so scared that they were scattered and begged for mercy: "This general, Special Envoy Zhang has agreed to let us go. You can't let Special Envoy Zhang break his promise."

Murong Chunhua also advised beside him: "Person Yang, what are the benefits of killing more people? We should not trap the envoys without trust and righteousness!"

The captives shouted, "Yes, yes!"

Yang Yi showed a bit of cruelty on his face: "It's just that my hand hasn't killed enough people in the past two days. What do you think should I do?"

"This..." Murong Chunhua was speechless, but the prisoners were all trembling when they heard this.

Yang Yi smiled and said, "Why don't we play a game? Didn't the envoy say let them go? Then let them go first." He said to the prisoners, "I'll let you go..." The prisoners were happy and heard Yang Yi say coldly, "But I just give you three days. After three days, I will come here. I will catch you again. Haha... Don't blame me for being rude!" He said, "Release!"

The captives were both afraid and worried, looking at each other, but no one ran away for a moment. Yang Yi said: "From now until the sunset, even the first day."

More than a thousand prisoners exclaimed, and immediately chose a way to escape in panic. They did not know the reality and movements of the Tang army. However, they saw that the Tang army was deployed in the west, so they all fled east, south, southeast, and southwest directions - the Yibohai to the north, which was a dead end.

Zhang Mai held the telescope and waited for them to escape for several miles before laughing and said, "Okay, let's go too."

Xiao Shitou happened to follow him, and saw the direction of the prisoners running away, and asked, "Enterprise, are you trying to disturb the enemy's audio-visual?"
