How to deal with the defeated Turkic army, this is not a simple matter.

In the first battle of Pingyu Valley, the Sui army beheaded 30,000, captured 50,000, and the Tiele people were attached to 30,000. Subsequently, under the head of the village, more than 40,000 troops surrendered.

So now in Luo Cheng's prisoner camp, there are nearly 100,000 Turkic prisoners, and more than 30,000 Tiele people who have defected to him.

Not to mention how to deal with the Tiele people who defected and surrendered, even the nearly 100,000 Turkic captives are also a problem.

The fourth said that he would kill him directly, and when he said that he was killed, his voice did not rise and fall at all, as if killing 100,000 Turkic captives was like crushing a bedbug.

At the Sui Army's own four-town military meeting, Luo Cheng discussed this issue again with Li Jing, Yun Dingxing, and Siye.

Mo Nan Province Zhenwu Army Festival made Yun Dingxing an old handsome guy, this person is very handsome, but a man who even poisoned his nephew, Luo Cheng didn't trust his character, so he was only enthusiastic about him on the surface, and kept a distance inside.

Yun Dingxing also has a part-time job as a general of the Twelve Guards, Luo Cheng is the general of the Left Tunwei, and he is the general of the Right Tunwei.

As soon as he spoke, it was amazing.

"Duke of Chu, when Tuoba of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Murong of Houyan competed for the world, although the two were both Xianbei, but at that time the Murong clan of Houyan was more powerful, Tuoba has always married Murong, but in fact, he was regarded as a subordinate of Murong. But later, the Northern Wei Dynasty became stronger, so the Murong clan regarded the Tuoba clan as a thorn in the side. ”

In the end, the Murong clan still found an excuse to send troops to attack the Tuoba clan, and in that battle, the two sides had a huge disparity in power. The Later Yan army attacked, while the Northern Wei Dynasty adopted the method of retreat, the enemy advanced and retreated, luring the enemy to go deeper, dragging but not fighting.

The expedition of the Later Yan army to the Northern Wei Dynasty dragged from summer to winter, and although the results were very rich, it failed to defeat the main force of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Later, when they wanted to withdraw their troops, the Northern Wei army began to pursue.

In the end, the 80,000 Houyan elite were defeated by the 20,000 Northern Wei army.

After the war, the Northern Wei Dynasty killed all the captured 50,000 Houyan troops.

Originally, many officials of the Northern Wei Dynasty thought that those captives should be given clothes and food and let them go home, hoping to win the favor of the people of Houyan with such kindness.

But some people persuaded the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, saying that Houyan was powerful and had a large population, and this time the whole country was mobilized to attack, and our victory was very lucky, so it was better to kill all these people, so that the interior of Houyan would be empty, and their strength could be greatly reduced.

So in the end, the Northern Wei Dynasty killed more than 50,000 elite Houyan troops, and after this battle, Houyan's strength did drop greatly, and within a few years, it was defeated by the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Yun Dingxing came out to talk about this matter, and it was also a reminder to Luo Cheng.

The strength of the Turks is still very strong, and at present, the Central Plains is in turmoil, if these Turks are put back, it will be to let the tiger return to the mountain, so it is better to kill them all.

If none of the 300,000 troops who went south this time could not return, then within ten years, the Turks would not be able to go south to Yinshan.

"What do you think, pharmacist?"

Luo Cheng didn't directly say whether Yun Dingxing's proposal was good or bad, but asked Li Jing instead.

Although Li Jing is only a county commander, he represents the Mayi army here, and the results of this battle were jointly achieved by the four armies, and the attitude of the Mayi army is of course also very important.

"Chu Guogong, I thought that I could put the Tiele people back. The Tiele people originally lived in Mobei, and they have always rebelled against the Turks, and they still swayed left and right between the Eastern and Western Turks. This time, after the retreat of Shibi Yanmen, under the killing of Hu Pass, he killed 30,000 Tiele troops very viciously. ”

"If we let the Tiele people return to Mobei, they will definitely be attached to the Sui, and then attack each other with the Dubi who return to Mobei."

It is now almost November, and although the Sui army has won a great victory, it is no longer able to kill Mobei.

Dubi has already returned to Mobei, as soon as Shibi dies, it is estimated that he will inherit the throne in Mobei, at this time, if the Tiele people are put back, then the Tiele people and Dubi will definitely have to have a battle.

"This is a strategy to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, let's just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight."

Luo Cheng felt that Li Jing's plan still made some sense, the Sui army was unable to kill Mobei, and if he was allowed to call Mobei Khan, he would still be able to have a strong force.

However, Luo Cheng was not willing to put all the Tiele people back like this.

"The Mobei Tiele tribes are strong, and the Qibi tribe has more than 100,000 accounts, which is the first tribe of Tiele. And the Xue Yantuo Department was formed by the merger of the Xue Department and the Yantuo Department, and there are currently more than 70,000 accounts. Luo Cheng slowly said these data, "This time, the Qibi Department and Tongluo were taken the opportunity to execute the chieftain by Shibi, and there were more than 40,000 soldiers killed by him and the two divisions killed during the southern expedition, but in Mobei, the Qibi Department can still raise no less than 100,000 soldiers. ”

"Xue Yantuo also lost more than 10,000 horsemen this time, and with his strength of 70,000 accounts, he can also pull up 100,000 soldiers."

"If you let them go back like this, there will be endless troubles."

Yun Dingxing looked at Luo Cheng, "Then what is the Duke of Chu going to do?" ”

"Whether it is the Turks or the Tiele people, when they fight, they are mostly composed of regular troops and family members. Generally, the young and strong are the main army, and the weapons and horses are prepared, and they are recruited to accompany the army in battle. Each of the regular armies had three horses, and then they would also carry one each of the soldiers who beat the grass valley and those who guarded the camp, who could be slaves of the regular army or their children. ”

The nomadic tribes on the steppe are basically like this, nomadic in peacetime, conscripted in battle, and generally all the people are soldiers. But soldiers were also recruited according to the size of the war.

Among the soldiers, there will be the main main army, as well as auxiliary soldiers.

The householders were responsible for plundering the grass valleys, helping to set up camps, and even helping to look after the rest of the horses when the main army was in battle, and when the battle was won, helping to capture prisoners.

Sometimes, of course, these families will also participate in the battle.

Many of the family members were very young, and they were young brothers or sons and nephews of the regular army, and they were brought to the battlefield, taught them to fight, and led them to plunder.

The warriors of the steppe tribes also grew up in this way.

"I plan to let Tieler's regular army go back, and leave their young nephews behind."

"Stay?"

"Well, our army has suffered a lot of casualties this time, so I plan to leave some young Tiele tribesmen behind, and then add them to my border army in the four towns."

This is not only to supplement the strength of the four towns, but also to detain the children of Tiele as hostages, and also to weaken the strength of the Tiele people.

After all, the Tiele people were battlefield defectors, and they were more reliable than the Turks.

Of the 30,000 Tiele people, Luo Cheng plans to leave about half of them, and then add them to the four towns.

This proposal was eye-catching, and the four generals quickly agreed, and then it was how to distribute it.

In the end, it was agreed that Luo Cheng's Zhongwu army was divided into 6,000, Heiye's Xuanwu army was divided into 4,000, Yun Dingxing's Zhenwu army was divided into 3,000, and Wang Rengong's Mayi Yiwu army was divided into 2,000.
