Li Yin and Niu Jinda had been chasing Murong Fuyun late at night, asking the deserters many times before finding the right direction, and finally found Murong Fuyun and their hundreds of cavalry in the early morning.
Seeing Murong Fuyun, Li Yin was even more unwilling to relax, and chased after him. The red boy who sat down was already panting heavily with exhaustion, and the sweat flowing from his body stained Li Yin's armor red.
Niu Jinda couldn't help being a little envious when he saw this scene. The horse Li Yin was sitting on still had enough energy, but his horse was almost unable to run.
Li Yin's cavalry could hardly move, and Murong Fuyun's cavalry was even worse. There were more than a dozen **** horses in the camp, but he had no time to lead his horse in the hurry.
"Drive!" Murong Fuyun flicked his whip to urge the sitting horse to run quickly, but the horse's physical strength had reached its limit, and suddenly fell down with a whine, and fell to the ground with Murong Fuyun.
"Khan!" Several guards were shocked, and immediately turned to rescue Murong Fuyun, but Li Yin's cavalry had already arrived.
King Tianzhu didn't stop when he saw this scene. Instead, he sped up his whip and fled northward, leaving Murong Fuyun behind.
Murong Fuyun lay on the ground without any further struggle, looking at the Tianzhu King who was getting farther and farther away, he regretted it at the beginning, why he listened to his words and made the idea of Tang Dynasty and Yizhou.
The general situation is over, the remaining Tuyuhun cavalry scattered and fled. At this time, no one would be foolish enough to die in vain and scatter away like birds and beasts. Only three people remained by Murong Fuyun's side, one was Murong Shun, and The two were Murong Shun's personal soldiers, looking at the son whom he never wanted to see, Murong Fuyun sighed deeply.
Li Yin and Niu Jinda surrounded the four of them, and Li Yin rode on the horse. With a sneer on his face, he said: "Khan Fuyun, you have invaded the borders of the Tang Dynasty for years, and today you dare to besiege Songzhou with an army. Do you really think that there is no one in the Tang Dynasty?"
Murong Fuyun was able to sit on the position of Khan, and he was definitely not an ordinary person who caused headaches in the former Sui Dynasty and Tang Dynasty.
Before he finished speaking, Murong Shun interrupted him. Murong Shun feared that he would anger Tang Jun and said, "Could it be that Your Excellency is the Sixth Prince of the Tang Dynasty, the current King of Chengdu."
Li Yin glanced at Murong Shun and said, "Exactly. Who are you?"
"My servant, Murong Shun." Murong Shun replied respectfully.
"Murong Shun? Are you the Murong Shun who was the proton in Chang'an?" In the ninth year of Zhenguan in history, the 60-year-old Li Jing took command to defeat Tuyuhun, and Murong Fuyun committed suicide. , but it didn't take long for Murong Shun to be killed by his subordinates in the internal struggle.
"Exactly." Murong Shun replied, and then he said: "Your Highness, the reason why Father Khan besieged and invaded the surrounding areas of the Tang Dynasty was because of the slander and bewitchment of Tianzhu King. Please also learn from Your Highness."
"Hmph, your 80,000 troops are besieging Songzhou. Can this king spare you if you are bewitched? You can go and tell the emperor when the time comes!" How to deal with the two of them? After the two went back, he had to be sent to Chang'an to wait for Li Shimin's fate. "Tie them up," Li Yin ordered.
"Let me do it." Niu Jinda laughed. After getting off the horse, he picked up the rope and walked towards the four of them. Murong Shun's two personal guards immediately drew their swords to protect them.
"Put it down!" Murong Shun understood that it is better to be obedient now, the two guards had to drop their weapons after hearing the words, and Murong Fuyun did not resist. Let Niu Jinda tie him up like a zongzi.
In the evening, Li Yin and Niu Jinda returned to Songzhou with the spoils and passed the original Tuyuhun camp. It was found that the place had been cleaned up, and only the mottled blood on the ground could tell that a great war had taken place here.
On the way, he met Xue Rengui who came to meet him, and the three returned to Songzhou together.
"Your Highness!"
Li Yin and Niu Jinda got off their horses, and ordered Murong Fuyun and his son to be taken to prison. At this time, Zhu Youzhi and Qin Huaiyu walked over at the same time. Li Yin asked as he walked towards the camp, "How was the result of the battle?"
Zhu Youzhi quickly said: "We have finished counting. In this battle, a total of 26,500 enemies were wiped out, 18,311 Tuyuhun soldiers were captured, and 35,700 Tuyuhun civilians were captured. There are 21,100 war horses, and more than 40,000 cattle and sheep."
Li Yin was speechless when he heard these figures, but it really is still a fortune for war!
"Your Highness, what should we do with these captives? The food in Songzhou is limited, so many captives have to eat a lot of food every day!" Qin Huaiyu followed up.
Li Yin thought for a while, "All of them were enslaved and made into servants of the palace. This king was worried about the shortage of manpower, so I didn't expect that Murong Fuyun would send them here."
After finishing speaking, several people laughed.
Songzhou achieved a great victory, and Li Yin followed the procedure to send the news of the victory to Chang'an, and asked Li Shimin how to deal with Murong Fuyun and his son.
Although the war in Songzhou was over, Li Yin did not leave Songzhou. He was going to go back after dealing with these trivial matters in Songzhou, and the most important thing was how to deal with these slaves.
There were more than 50,000 Tuyuhun people and soldiers, and so many slaves could not be gathered together, otherwise there would be chaos, so Li Min transferred Jin Daqian from Yizhou, and distributed 10,000 Tuyuhun soldiers to various coal mines in Yizhou. On the limestone mine, the remaining 8,000 people were taken to build roads, and as for the treatment, they were just like ordinary slaves. Li Yin did not have a habit of abusing others, but if he made trouble, Li Yin would not be polite and would definitely kill him.
And there were more than 35,000 people, men and women, old and young. Li Yin assigned more than 5,000 people to the pastureland in Cui Yingying's circle, and asked them to do their old job-grazing. Min was divided into six farming regiments, each with 5,000 people. They will be divided into different areas to cultivate land and grow crops. These areas will become Li Min's plantations in the future, providing Yizhou with a steady stream of food .
After allocating the people, the next step is the livestock. The more than 20,000 war horses made Li Min very happy. With these horses, he will add a cavalry brigade of 10,000 people. The newly recruited army does not need him to buy war horses up.
As for those cattle and sheep, Li Yin asked Jin Daqian to divide the available cattle and sell them to Yizhou Rural Cooperatives at a low price, so that the tense situation of Yizhou cattle and sheep can be completely alleviated, and the remaining cattle and sheep are being picked. After breeding some high-quality cattle and sheep, some of them were put into the market, and 10,000 of them were driven to Chang'an by Li Yin, along with 5,000 war horses.
Speaking of being in the officialdom for a year, Li Yin also understands a lot of truths. He can't let the emperor's father stare at him if he takes advantage of it. He should show his loyalty when he should show his loyalty. It is absolutely enough to exchange a small profit for Li Shimin's support. , and his behavior also shows that Li Min's heart is still towards Li Shimin, so Li Shimin can rest assured.
While dealing with these matters, Li Yin was also troubled by one thing, which was the rescued more than 300 women, and two of them had a very special identity. They were actually from the Zheng family in Xingyang. Female, but also from the direct line.
"Your Highness, if you don't want to go back, don't let people go back. Can a cow press its head if it doesn't drink water?" Qin Huaiyu sat on the chair cautiously with his teeth bared, his **** bounced up as soon as it hit the stool, Li Yanke He did not forget his and Niu Jinda's heroic deeds of disobedience on the battlefield. In front of the whole army, Li Yin personally gave him and Niu Jinda 50 boards each, so that they could not get out of bed for three days. As a reward, Li Yin rewarded the two of them with five hundred taels of gold each and a hard-earned BMW. Niu Jinda was in pain and happy immediately.
Li Yin glanced at Qin Huaiyu, "You have fallen in love with her girl!" Zhu Youzhi described Qin Huaiyu's expression that day to Li Yin vividly. One of the sisters was named Zheng Binglan and the other was named Zheng Binglu. Zheng Binglan was the older sister. And that Zheng Binglu is the younger sister, and Li Yin has seen both of them before, and they are indeed outstanding.
Qin Huaiyu has nothing to hide in front of Li Yin. In his heart, Li Yin is no different from his relatives. He said frankly: "Your Highness, I am not too young, and I am still alone. I like this woman just by looking at her." up."
The Hu Ji who was with Qin Huaiyu before was a woman of smoke and dust after all, she and Qin Huaiyu were playing games, and the two had no relationship, but this time Qin Huaiyu had a crush on Zheng Binglan, strangely, she was not interested in her younger sister.
"It is said that Zheng Binglan is no longer perfect, don't you care?" Li Yin squinted at Qin Huaiyu.
Hearing this, Qin Huaiyu's face turned livid, and the veins on his head bulged. If Li Yin hadn't stopped him, he would have killed Murong Fuyun. Gritting his teeth, Qin Huaiyu said, "I don't care."
Li Yin stared at Qin Huaiyu, thinking that feelings are really unreasonable things that can make a person give up so many things, but the openness of folk customs in the Tang Dynasty may also be one aspect.
"Okay, I will fulfill your wish and let Zheng Binglan stay, and I will explain to the Zheng family." Li Yin said with a sigh.
Qin Huaiyu showed two rows of big white teeth, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness!"
The news of the Songzhou victory swept through the Tang Dynasty like the wind under Li Yin's special propaganda. The Shengtang Business Daily used two pages to report the Songzhou battle. Of course, many of the data in it were fake, such as the war horse. The number of cattle and sheep is only half of the actual number, and the Musketeers have also been deliberately wiped out.
But even so, this news still shocked Chang'an. Tuyuhun, who had plagued the frontiers of the Tang Dynasty for more than ten years, caused Li Shimin a headache for more than ten years. Tuyuhun, who even planned to use the princess to marry him, was defeated by Li Yin in just a few days. , Even the Khan of Tuyuhun was chased by Li Min to the depths of the grassland and captured. This is not a brilliant war, but a war in which fewer wins more. (To be continued..)
