After a stick of incense.

The gate of the royal city opened, and countless captives came out of it, their faces full of horror and anxiety, and when they saw the countless armies outside the city, they were even more frightened and exclaimed.

"Look, it's Tang Jun!"

Suddenly, someone shouted loudly, excited and puzzled.

Everyone looked closely, but they didn't know much about the people at the bottom, where they could understand, but the few captured officers in the crowd understood, and some people couldn't help but shout excitedly: "Look at the appearance of the Tang people, there are Turks, and Tuyuhun people, all the armies in the world can be multi-ethnic integration, only the king of Han." ”

"Is it the King of Han who came to save us?"

"King Han, is it the benevolent and righteous King of Han in my dynasty?"

"Are we saved?"

Uncertain voices sounded one after another, full of anticipation and fear that it wasn't.

At this time, Liu Hongji led some people to step forward and shouted: "The old man Liu Hongji, the prince of Kuiguo, is hereby ordered by the King of Han to guide everyone to leave and go over there quickly." Pointing in one direction, there are too many captives, and if they move forward, they will collide with the military formation, and once there are Tibetans hiding in it, it will be dangerous.

The familiar Tang language suddenly reassured everyone, and they shouted one after another: "It's really King Han, we have been saved!" ”

"Lord Liu, Duke of Kuiguo, marked as the deputy lieutenant under your command, thank you Lord Liu for his life." A man in bloody armor rushed forward and shouted excitedly.

Liu Hongji followed the prestige, and did not know him, it was difficult for a small lieutenant to meet the prince of the country, and he did not know the normal, but it did not affect him, Liu Hongji shouted: "Since he is an lieutenant in the army, he should understand the rules, and quickly assist in commanding the people to evacuate the land of right and wrong, quickly!" ”

"Mark and obey!"

The other party excitedly agreed, and immediately raised his voice and shouted: "Everyone, this is indeed Lord Liu, the Duke of Kuiguo, everyone does not need to doubt, they all act according to the order, help each other, Qingzhuang takes care of some children, prevents trampling, and leaves this place quickly, so as not to regret it." ”

When the captives confirmed their identities, the skeptical people dispelled their concerns, and everyone helped each other and left in a hurry.

More people came out of the city and followed in the designated direction.

There were so many captives that the city gate was so big that it took half an hour to finish.

Liu Hongji led people over, and when the captives saw Liu Hongji coming, they stopped talking one after another, and looked at Liu Hongji in surprise, and many people even knelt down to bow and thank them.

"Everybody, get up and listen to the old man." Liu Hongji clenched his fists and shouted, and after everyone was completely quiet, he continued: "The King of Han has an order, no one is missing, all must be rescued, everyone checks the people around each other to see if there is any omission." ”

"King Han Gaoyi!"

"King Han is merciful!"

Voices of gratitude came one after another, spreading all around.

It takes time to inquire, and Liu Hongji asked the people around him to go up to supervise, count, and wait patiently.

Maybe it was because he knew Qin Huaidao's cautious character, or he didn't dare to make extraneous branches, and he lost his life, didn't hide the prisoners, and released them all, but many of them were injured and did not receive treatment, and they would not die for a long time.

For an hour or so, Liu Hongji got the statistics and hurriedly returned to the Zhongjun account.

In the big account, Qin Huaidao was discussing with everyone the plan to attack Luo Some City, when he saw Liu Hongji coming, his face was very ugly, he chuckled in his heart, and quickly asked, "Lord Liu, how is it?" ”

"King Huihan, it has been verified that a total of 83,685 people were captured, more than 40,000 women, children and children, more than 20,000 young and strong, and 20,000 soldiers were taken prisoner, and more than 30,000 were wounded. Liu Hongji hurriedly said.

"More than 80,000 people?" Qin Huaidao's face changed slightly.

"There are only more than 80,000 people left, and I estimate that the total number of captives is more than 150,000, and the others must have died on the way to the climate." Luo Zhang said, his face pale.

"Bastard, hit, right?" Cheng Chumo shouted, also angry.

The others were also angry and began to curse.

Qin Huaidao was also very angry, 150,000 is underestimated, I am afraid there are about 200,000 captives, but Tubo is a plateau, many people can't adapt, once the high is reversed, and there is no medicine, if you don't look back, you will basically end up.

But at this point, it's useless to get angry.

Qin Huaidao raised his hand to signal, and after everyone quieted down, he looked at Liu Hongji and said: "All the soldiers are incorporated into the Hanzhou Army, so that they can be treated and trained, and after they recover, they will be assigned to each army, and they will not be despised, insulted, suppressed, or excluded, otherwise they will not be killed, and they will not want to surrender and be captured." ”

"Obey!" Liu Hongji replied solemnly.

"Defeat is not the fault of the soldiers, the victory and defeat of the soldiers are commonplace, everyone takes their lives and fights with Tibet, since they are alive, even if they are prisoners, they are heroes, they must be treated well, and the amount is reused, in addition, the young and strong prisoners are recruited as soldiers, the principle of voluntariness, no coercion, women and children help cook, they are all my people, let them eat and drink enough, they must not be treated badly, the people become prisoners, it is a shame for our soldiers." Qin Huaidao admonished.

Everyone was extremely moved when they saw that Qin Huaidao attached so much importance to the people.

Even the common people are so sympathetic and so righteous that they will live up to expectations in the future and do the thing of unloading the mill and killing the donkey.

Liu Hongji hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully: "King Han, suddenly there are more than 80,000 people, and they are full of food and drink, I am afraid that there will not be enough food." ”

"If the food is not enough, go and rob it, this is the city of Luo, the city of the king of Tubo, a radius of 100 miles is relatively rich in other places, there are many tribes, Xue Wanche to the east, Cheng Chumo to the south, find those tribes to ask for half of the cattle and sheep grain and grass, if you don't give it, you will exterminate the clan and confiscate it, don't move the people at the bottom, we are soldiers, in order to survive, we can fight to feed the war, but we are not beasts without a bottom line, and we have lost our humanity." Qin Huaidao ordered.

"Obey!" Xue Wanche and Cheng Chumo hurriedly agreed.

The Tibetan army is all in the city, there is not much armed force outside the city, the most tribal organization is young and strong for self-protection, there is not much combat effectiveness, the two armies are enough to sweep, the west has been cleared when it comes, the north is a barren land, no food.

Cheng Chumo hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't you just wipe out the tribe and confiscate them all to ensure that the army has food and grass, just in case." ”

"The surrounding tribes have people who are officials in the Tubo Dynasty, and they can not only supplement the needs of our army, but also beat the Tubo ministers and force them to make a choice, once the Tubo nobles and ministers have two hearts, they will open the city gate and surrender, and speed up the destruction of Tubo.

"Heart-to-heart...... The last general understands! Cheng Chumo suddenly realized, he didn't expect to get some food so many ways, and secretly wrote it down, this is a rare combat experience.

"King Han, there are living quarters and street shops nearby, do you want to raid them?" Xue Wanche asked.
