Regardless of whether Chen Ying did not maintain the speed of his troops and destroyed the Western Turks in one fell swoop, he had this concern.Historically, the Tang Dynasty used its enlightened ethnic policy to vigorously support pro-Tang tribes and nationalities, and to recruit and accept rebels. In the early days of the founding of the country, the Tang Dynasty was powerful, and these vassals became the most powerful force for the expansion of the Tang Dynasty. However, the national strength of the Li Tang Dynasty After the decline, even at the border there are still 10,000+ fierce Hu elites who immediately turned against each other. First, the Ge Luolu tribe defected in Talas, losing the battle of national destiny between Datang and Dashi, and then Anlushan and Shi Siming led hundreds of thousands of Hu cavalry into the Central Plains.

As Chen Ying standing on the shoulders of historical giants, he sees this ethnic issue very clearly.The Hu people are all wolf-hearted, ungrateful people. If they are not my race, their hearts must be different. This truth is always correct. It is not uncommon in history to let the Hu people do harm and reap the consequences.

The Xiongnu split into the north and the south. The Han Dynasty brought the Southern Huns, who were in extermination, to the Hetao area, making the Hetao area a place for the Southern Huns to recuperate. After decades of recuperation, the Southern Xiongnu gave the Han Dynasty a hard time. one knife.

Of course, this kind of thing still has the Western Jin Dynasty.With the wind of Cao Cao sweeping Karasuma and Xianbei, tens of millions of Xianbei, Xiongnu, Karasuma, Fuyu, Goguryeo, Gaoche, Dingling, Tiefo, Tiele, Jie, Di, Qiang, etc. surrendered. For more than ten years, the Xianbei bald tribe rebelled first, and then Yang Wannian of the Di tribe rebelled again. Later, Liu Yuan of the Huns, Li Xiong, Li Te of the Di tribe, Shi Le of the Jie tribe, Murong clan of Xianbei, Tuoba tribe, and the iron cavalry of the nomads were mighty The Han people entered the Central Plains, used the Han people as sheep, and killed them for food. After tens of hundreds of years of rape, plunder, and killing, the entire Han nation almost perished.

History often has striking similarities.The prosperous Tang Dynasty was actually destroyed by this kind of ethnic policy. The loose ethnic policy allowed the Shatuo people to successfully invade Chang'an and sit on the throne.Let the Li Tang Dynasty completely disappear in the dust of history.

Chen Yingshi is naturally unwilling to repeat the mistakes of history. He would rather create one after another no-man's land, and he is unwilling to fatten and grow up the barbarian with his own hands, and finally turn against each other, and let the Chinese nation fall under the iron cavalry of the barbarian , moaning in pain.

Just when Chen Ying was at a loss, Chen Ying received a good news from Liu Tong, the Beiwei Army.The Beiwei army also used the rescued Han slaves to expand the imperial court's army. Together, the three divisions expanded to more than [-] troops.

Liu Tong remembered what Chen Ying did in the grassland, and decided to follow Chen Ying's example, so he began to expand wildly on the snowy field.

Liu Tong and Xunxiang did not just kill blindly, but learned from Chen Yingla's practice of fighting against one faction, hanging all the tribal leaders and leaders who did evil on the flagpole, and letting the blizzard make these unpopular The tribal leaders and leaders froze to death, and then burned the land deeds and personal deeds of these tribal leaders in public, and declared these Tubo people to be free people.Then take away their food, cattle and sheep, and all kinds of material property that can be taken away. If they can't take away, they will be distributed to those oppressed people in Tubo, just like real estate such as barley fields, land, and pastures.

Since then, Liu Tong and Xun Xiang's subordinates have had joys and sorrows.Some were secretly contacted by the Tubo slaves with the Beiwei army and acted as internal agents.Liu Tong and Xun Xiang raided the tribes one by one. By February of the fifth year of Wude, his army had grown to a total of more than 20 soldiers, and more than [-] Han people had been rescued.

Now with the coming of spring, Liu Tong's troops have aroused the vigilance of the Tubo people.Of course, Chen Ying could also understand that if the Tubo people didn't respond at this time, then their heads were flooded.

Most of these more than [-] people are sickly and weak, and there is no way to follow the Beiwei Army and the Subi Department to carry out strategic transfers. Liu Tong hopes that Chen Ying can send troops to the Luobu Rula Valley in Kunlun Mountains to relieve these people who lack food and medicine. Clothes for the people to pick up!

Seeing that there were 20 people, Chen Ying was ecstatic.If Chen Ying hadn't come, they would have been tortured to death. In fact, when Chen Ying just arrived in Liangzhou, he was also suspicious. About 79 million people.However, in the third year of Wude, there were only less than 400 mu and less than 20 people left.

Chen Ying was also very surprised. Although it was said that Xue Ju and Li Gui rebelled against Qin and Liang, except for the battle of Qianshuiyuan and Gaochao, there was no large-scale war. To rule it out, Chen should ask someone to investigate where the more than three million people in Liangzhou have gone. Now I understand that these people must have been plundered by the Tubo people to the snowy plains.

The physique of ordinary Han people has reached the snow field, and it is not bad if one out of ten people survives.Even these rescued Han people are mostly sickly and weak.They will be a drag on the Beiwei army, but Chen Ying is not worried that these people are a burden, on the contrary he is also worried that the population is too small.

If there are 100 million Han Chinese, Chen Ying believes that within three years, he will have a way to manage the Western Regions into a land of abundance that is not weaker than Bashu.

Time is life. At this time, Chen Ying ordered [-] counties in the [-] states of Xizhou Road, and each county should send a number of peasants and pack horses according to their strength.Then meet at Jinman County.

Chen Ying did not use the soldiers of the Modao Army, but mainly the soldiers of the Shesheng Army, the Xiaoqi Army, and the five Hebei New Army soldiers from Zhechong Prefecture.

Marching in severe cold weather is a taboo for military strategists.But Chen Ying didn't have this concern. Now these soldiers who were wearing either cotton or down jackets didn't feel cold even if they were walking in the wilderness at -[-] degrees below zero.

Of course, it was the military depots that Chen Ying built along the way that supported Chen Ying's confidence.The Western Regions are very desolate. Even if there are dozens or hundreds of small broken cities, they are actually at the level of small villages and towns in the Central Plains. In order to facilitate transportation, Chen Ying used the camps left by the army when they marched to build military depots one by one.

These military depots were all built with old camps. When the soldiers who marched hard one day arrived at the camp, the team leaders who arrived earlier had already prepared steaming meals and hot water.

The soldiers ate hot meals, then scalded their feet with hot water to relieve fatigue, and then fell asleep.

It took more than [-] miles from Gaoche City to Jinman County, and it took Chen Ying's troops seven days to reach Jinman County.

Seeing Chen Ying coming in the snow, Zhang Huaiwei went to find Chen Ying.Seeing that there was no one around, Zhang Huaiwei said cautiously: "The chief guard, marching for seven days in a row, the soldiers must have been exhausted, according to the general's opinion, shouldn't they rest for a few days, recharge their energy, and then look for a fighter? I The Modao Army has been recuperating in Jinman County for three or four months, and they should be allowed to come out for activities..."

Chen Ying pointed to Zhang Huaiwei and said, "Old Zhang, I always thought you were an honest person, but I didn't expect you to learn bad things too!"

Zhang Huaiwei was thin-skinned, and Chen Ying couldn't help but feel embarrassed when Chen Ying spoke out.

Chen Ying gave him a biography letter, asking him to prepare 20 snow sledges, [-] shi of grain, and a lot of sheepskins and clothes to keep out the cold. In Zhang Huaiwei's opinion, there should be a big battle to be fought!Since the Modao Army arrived in the Western Regions, except for a battle with Murong Fuyun, beheading more than [-] ranks, they have not won any battles. He has made meritorious service one after another, he is really in a hurry!

Chen Ying looked at Zhang Huaiwei's embarrassed look, and said with a smile, "It's not a war now!"

"Not a war?"

Zhang Huaiwei asked curiously: "It's not a war, the general actually wants to use so many supplies?"

"I'm here to pick up people!!" Chen Ying said solemnly: "To pick up the 20 Han compatriots who were captured by Tubo!"

Chen Ying didn't explain too much, but just lay on the bed and fell asleep.

When he woke up, Zhang Huaiwei had already prepared the supplies, food, and snow sledges that Chen Ying needed. These Anxi army soldiers led a huge transportation team and headed towards Yecheng along the snow-covered road!

……

In the Robrura Valley, there are endless tents everywhere, and there are heart-piercing screams and pain everywhere.

Inside an igloo made of ice, a woman with disheveled hair kneeled in front of a little girl whose head had been smashed two to three months ago, and slapped the ground with her palms like crazy, making her hands bloody. There were hoarse wailing sounds, as if the heart was torn open.

Seeing Liu Tong felt sad for a while.

The dead little girl was thrown to death by the woman's husband, because the woman gave birth to a child after being raped by the Tibetans.

The man was pinned down on the snow by two soldiers of the Beiwei Army. The man screamed, "Let me go, let me go!"

Xun Xiang took a look, and stepped on the man's face with a pair of big feet: "Bastard, useless trash, dare not fight with the Tibetans, why use a child to vent your anger! She is only three months, three months, What a crime!"

The strength of looking for a phase is not small, and this kick is filled with hatred.

The man was kicked out by Xun Xiang kicking out four teeth, and his entire face was swollen all over the place!

The man argued with a hoarse voice: "I have the guts, I'm not a waste!"

Liu Tong looked at the disheveled woman coldly and said, "Did you let him die? If you forgive him, I can spare him!"

A murderous look flashed in the woman's eyes, but she finally shook her head as she looked at the man lying on the ground.

Liu Tong pointed to the man and said, "If you don't kill the three Tubo people, you're a worthless waste. The clerk recorded that he should be thrown into the camp of dead soldiers. If he survives three battles, he will become a jumping soldier!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Some people died, or because their injuries were too serious, and some people had already been hollowed out by diseases.New tombs are added almost every day in the Robrula Valley.

Of course, there will be no coffins.As Liu Tong and Xun Xiang defeated more and more tribes, although a lot of food was seized, fuel was extremely scarce. Unlike the Western Regions, coal was almost everywhere, and mining was extremely convenient.But here is different. This is a long-term frozen area. Except for a little gold, copper and iron ore, they have not found coal.

Even a tree stump is very precious.However, due to the arrival of the soldiers of the Beiwei Army of the Tang Dynasty, they were rescued from the boundless abyss.They can keep the whole body, at least they don't have to be slaves in the hands of the Tubo people. They have to work hard every day. As long as they are tired, their only end is to become the food of Xueyuan Ao dog.

A piece of tattered sheepskin or straw mat was hurriedly wrapped, and then a shallow pit was dug and buried in a hurry.Then fill back the soil and build a short mound.There are no tombstones, and there will be no offerings such as fruits, flower baskets, and wreaths. Except for these heartbroken relatives, no one will care about them. Maybe it won't be long before no one will remember them.No one would care how many people died here, there were too many such things, and it was impossible to remember them all.

However, the families of the deceased are very concerned.When burying the dead, they also planted the seeds of hatred in their hearts. The seeds of hatred will break out of the ground under the water of poisonous juice, and the poisonous flowers will bear bitter fruits. The tragedy of people swallowing.

Liu Tong looked at the crowd of people, and said with a troubled expression: "I don't know when the chief guard will send people to meet these people. Our place has already been exposed. The Loburu La Valley itself is not an easy to defend and difficult to attack. I'm afraid that the Tubo people will easily conquer here!"

Subi Quzhen, a daughter of the Subi tribe, has become a big belly. Of course, the improvement in food is only part of the reason. The most important thing is that she is now pregnant.

Subi Quzhen said heartlessly: "Don't worry, the Tubo people are here, we will fight them desperately. When they attacked our Subi country, we fought them for more than three years..."

Beiwei Military Academy Lieutenant Yang Dazhuang looked at the rescued civilians and sighed: "They are too miserable, even worse than when we were in Songshan!"

Beiwei Army Commander Shi Hukui said: "If you say that you are not of our race, your heart must be different? In the eyes of the Tubo people, we Han people are nothing but ants. The most important thing now is how many of these people can survive. !"

Although Liu Tong's troops won successive victories and seized a lot of supplies, they were very short of medicines and fuel. In the cold winter, there was not enough fuel, which was very difficult.

Looking at these numb-faced commoners, Xun Xiang smiled wryly and said, "Now time waits for no one, we can only let them go first!"
