Liu Jiande rode on his horse and quietly looked at the defeated Uighur soldiers who were surrounded by his army.
The news sent by the messenger soldier was true. He had indeed led his troops to surround the royal court of the Uighur tribe before, and trapped all the Uighur tribesmen living around it.
But what the messenger didn't know was that it was not his luck that he was able to break out, but Liu Jiande deliberately let him out.
The target is the defeated generals who are now surrounded by soldiers whose armor is mostly broken and whose weapons are missing.
As for why he did this...
Liu Jiande's memory returned to three days ago.
After returning to Jiande City from Khan City, he began to resettle the members of the original Goguryeo royal family and senior officials.
After signing the surrender letter, their identities are in the past, but they still cannot be treated as ordinary people. Although they are actually under house arrest, their treatment must still be consistent with their former identities.
This is not only the generosity of the Celestial Kingdom, but also an established rule among all forces.
It is an unbreakable truth in feudal society that a doctor cannot be punished with punishment.
As for those who violate the rules, just look at how other forces treat them when those forces are at their lowest point.
But at the same time, Liu Jiande also needs to consider the thoughts of the people on the eastern border to prevent anyone from taking uncontrollable and drastic actions.
This is not alarmist. Goguryeo has been invading the eastern border of Dali for many years. The people at the border had not only national hatred against Goguryeo but also family hatred.
Under the hatred of the country and the family, even if the Goguryeo royal family had signed a surrender document, some people would inevitably feel that the price they paid was not enough, and they could only pay for their lives with their lives.
In fact, even Liu Jiande felt that the current situation was a bit advantageous for the original rulers of Goguryeo, but his responsibilities as commanders made it impossible for him to act as he wished.
After settling the old rulers of Goguryeo and resolving some conflicts and troubles that arose during this period, he received a secret letter from His Highness King Yu.
The Uighurs are a nomadic people, mainly relying on cavalry. As we all know, the cavalry are extremely mobile. If they want to break away from the battle, almost no one will be able to stay unless they are surrounded by several times the number of troops.
And Di Xin's immortal army is even less good at chasing.
Therefore, the content of the letter written by Emperor Xin to Liu Jiande was to ask him to take advantage of the opportunity of the battle between the expeditionary force and the Uighur army to go straight to Huanglong and send troops to surround the royal court of the Uighur clan.
But the already guarded empty royal court was just a rabbit chasing a rabbit.
The real target is the Uighur deserters who were defeated after the battle between the expeditionary force and the Uighur army.
Liu Jiande put his thoughts back and looked at the remaining Uighur soldiers surrounded by the army, and he admired His Royal Highness Prince Yu even more.
When he received the letter, the expeditionary force and the Uighur army had not yet fought, but at that time His Highness King Yu was already sure that his expeditionary force would be the victorious side.
How confident is this.
Regarding the disposal of these remaining Uighur soldiers, Liu Jiande did not hesitate much. After confirming that there were no omissions in the encirclement, he directly raised his right hand and then swung it down suddenly.
In the desperate eyes of the remnants of the Uighur soldiers trapped in the encirclement, the Dali cavalry, who were waiting for work, simultaneously raised the sharp blades in their hands and began to charge.
Sounds of killing broke out.
Their armor was broken, their weapons were incomplete, not to mention that the remnants of the Uighur soldiers who had already gone through a great battle did not even have time to rest and were already exhausted physically and mentally in order to rush back to the royal court.
Under the intact Dali cavalry, the battle quickly descended into a massacre.
Seeing the weapons in the hands of his soldiers being filled with blood, Liu Jiande's eyes, which had been holding down the battle, could not waver.
These cavalry cannot be retained.
It is not that Liu Jiande was cruel and ruthless. He would not kill innocent people indiscriminately. However, if these remnants of the Uighur soldiers were left behind, they would leave a huge hidden danger.
The cavalry is good at fighting. If these remaining Uighur soldiers are left behind, once they find an opportunity, they will most likely cause immeasurable losses.
Even though the Uighur remnants of nearly 10,000 people had little resistance, the one-sided massacre still took a lot of time.
When the battle was over, the originally green grass had turned into scarlet under the trampling of the Dali cavalry, and the gurgling blood even formed pools of blood of varying sizes.
However, Liu Jiande did not stop at all.
After combining the fighting and briefly cleaning the battlefield, he led the army to turn around and head towards the surrounded royal court again.
In order to lure back the remnants of the Uighur soldiers as much as possible, he had not launched an attack on the Uighur royal court before. However, after taking care of the remaining Uighur soldiers, the royal court, which was guarded by only more than 2,000 troops, had become nothing more than fat on a chopping block.
Meat.
The reality was just as Liu Jiande expected.
Under the attack of the Dali cavalry, the remaining troops of the Huihe Royal Court did not have much time to resist.
In just a quarter of an hour, the Dali cavalry invaded the royal court, and Liu Jiande led his troops straight to the royal tent.
However, after arriving at the king's tent, Liu Jiande discovered that the trembling man holding the scimitar was actually just a stand-in.
The real Uighur Khan had quietly left the royal court at some point, and also disappeared with the Khan's family and heirs.
Except for the two thousand soldiers who stayed in the royal court, all of them were ordinary people of the Uighur clan.
Liu Jiande was doubtful, but after searching the royal court, he found no clues, so he had to give up temporarily.
Then, under the escort of Dali cavalry, the remaining Huihe people crowded in and headed towards Jiande City.
…
Two days later, a piece of news spread like wildfire.
Liu Jiande, the commander of Jiande City, sent troops to besiege the Huihe court after learning that the Uighur clan had assembled all their troops to deal with His Royal Highness King Yu.
On the surface, they wanted to support His Royal Highness King Yu by encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao, but their real purpose was to deprive the expeditionary force of the greatest contribution in conquering the Uighurs on the grounds that everyone in Dali had the responsibility to protect the safety of the royal family.
It is reported that King Yu specifically wrote a letter to condemn the capital commander Liu Jiande and sought an explanation, but Liu Jiande prevaricated him and even produced the letter asking for help at the time, indicating that he did so at King Yu's request.
This exchange could be said to have ended on bad terms, as the good relationship between the two that had been established due to the campaign against Goguryeo was broken.
The relationship between His Royal Highness Prince Yu and the capital commander Liu Jiande took a turn for the worse.
Not long after this news spread, another piece of news was revealed.
The commander of the capital, Liu Jiande, had already broken through the innate realm and became a great master at some point.
As a result, people's doubts disappeared.
The Eastern Border Pass and Northern Xinjiang are not under each other. No matter how high the rank of the Northern Xinjiang General is, he cannot overstep his authority and command the Eastern Capital Commander. Liu Jiande, who has already broken through his innate talent, does not need to be too worried about the identity of King Yu.
The status of an innate great master brings countless privileges.
In fact, because of his breakthrough in realm, no one would care too much about some of his slightly more tactful actions in the past.
At this time, Liu Jiande would naturally no longer value the small amount of credit for the Northern Xinjiang Expeditionary Force.
The Uighurs were originally the barbarians that the eastern border had been fighting against, and the eastern border was the most suitable place to attack them, so it was not an exaggeration to say that Liu Jiande made this move to seize the credit.
