You must know that in everyone's impression, these Turkic barbarians will not surrender unless they are killed to the point of losing their courage or forced into a desperate situation.
But now, I and others have just fought for a while and haven't killed them yet. Why do these Turkic barbarians have to surrender?
However, I remembered that before setting off, the general manager had specially instructed to capture as many Turkic barbarians as possible and use them as slaves to build those cement houses and cement roads.
Zhang Baoxiang had no choice but to give the order, just to besiege, not to kill, to see what tricks these Turkic barbarians were playing.
There were a group of soldiers around, hurriedly passing orders everywhere.
However, in such a short time, thousands of Turkic barbarians died.
Seeing this, Tuli Khan's eyes turned red and he felt heartbroken.
Finally, with Tu Li eager to see through them, a group of Li and Tang cavalry cut the remaining Turkic soldiers into several large pieces and surrounded them.
On one side, there were three thousand armored cavalry, lined up neatly, staring at the tusk tent in the distance with eager eyes.
If they had not been told by the generals before coming here to capture more prisoners, more cattle and sheep, and had seen the usefulness of those concrete roads and concrete houses, these soldiers would not be so obedient.
"When will the chief steward arrive?"
In front of the Three Thousand Iron Armors, Zhang Bao asked the scouts on the side.
After entering the territory of Lingzhou, Li Daozong, Zhang Baoxiang and others led a large army to cover up and kill the Turkic scouts and tribes along the way.
With the help of clairvoyance, not a single Turkic scout or barbarian was allowed to escape.
Therefore, they were able to get into Tuli's tent without Tuli noticing.
Later, when they were twenty miles away from the Tuliya tent, there were too many Turkic scouts and they could not conceal the whereabouts of the army, so the deputy general Zhang Baoxiang led the cavalry of his own group, plus the Turkic horses robbed along the way, to form 10,000 cavalry, and headed towards
Tuli Yazhang made a surprise attack and left.
The general manager, Li Daozong, followed behind with a large army and a convoy of baggage vehicles.
Therefore, Zhang Baoxiang guessed that almost half an hour had passed since he led his troops to attack.
The general manager and the rear army should be arriving soon.
"Back to the general, the rear army led by the general manager is still five miles away from here!"
A scout quickly reported it.
"Um!"
Zhang Baoxiang nodded slightly and did not give an order.
"General, since the Turkic barbarians are ready to surrender, why don't we just disarm them?"
On the side, a school captain reported.
"We are cavalry, and we can only suppress these Turkic barbarians on horseback. After dismounting, if these Turkic barbarians suddenly cheat, or if the Turks have an ambush in the rear, we will definitely hurt a large number of brothers in order to gain some military merit.
,not worth it!"
Zhang Baoxiang said.
"The general is wise!"
The captains' expressions moved slightly and they quickly saluted with their hands raised.
Suddenly, a captain heard something and glanced behind him with a happy expression.
"General, the chief steward is here!"
"Um?"
Zhang Baoxiang looked happy and quickly looked back.
Sure enough, the general manager Li Daozong came on horseback wearing a suit of iron armor and a group of personal guards.
"I will finally meet the Chief Steward!"
Zhang Baoxiang and all the captains quickly bowed their hands and saluted.
"No need to be polite!"
Li Daozong replied casually, then turned to look ahead, where a group of Turkic cavalry were surrounded, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.
"What happened?"
"Back to the general manager, less than a quarter of an hour after the general led his troops to fight against the Turkic cavalry, these Turkic barbarians suddenly shouted to surrender. The general was not sure what he meant, so he did not make the decision without authorization!"
Zhang Baolian rushed to report.
"surrender?"
Hearing this, Li Daozong couldn't help but be startled, his face full of surprise.
"Tuli actually wants to surrender?"
Immediately, he took out a piece of clairvoyance from his arms and looked into the distance.
Seeing this, Zhang Baoxiang and all the captains also quickly took out a similar clairvoyance from their arms and looked into the distance.
"General Manager, the person on that hillside should be Khan Tuli!"
Zhang Baoxiang pointed to the hillside in the distance and said.
Li Daozong quickly followed the direction pointed by Zhang Baoxiang and looked over.
Sure enough, a young Turkic aristocratic young man with a sharp nose and a slightly frightened look was surrounded by a group of personal guards and looked towards them.
Seeing Li Daozong's arrival, Tu Li also rode his horse, leading a group of personal guards, and slowly came towards Li Daozong.
Seeing this, a hint of vigilance flashed in the eyes of all the soldiers.
“No need to be nervous!”
Li Daozong chuckled, "Since Tuli dares to bring these personal guards to see this manager, it means that Tuli really wants to surrender to the Tang Dynasty!"
However, the guards on the side were still secretly vigilant.
"Shibo must have met His Highness the Prince of Rencheng County!"
Before Tu Li, he had met Li Shimin several times, and also met Li Daozong several times.
"I've seen Turli Khan!"
Li Daozong also bowed slightly.
Then, he asked directly: "I wonder who Tuli Khan is?"
"I want to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and I hope that the King of Rencheng County will be kind and allow us to surrender!"
Tu Li stared at Li Daozong, his eyes full of expectation.
"surrender?"
Li Daozong laughed lightly and said, "As long as Tuli Khan sincerely surrenders, I, the King, can replace His Majesty and accept the Khan's surrender. However, for the safety of my sons of the Tang Dynasty, I still have to wrong the Khan!"
Hearing this, Tu Li relaxed and said quickly.
"Please also ask Prince Rencheng to speak clearly!"
"Please also ask the Khan to ask all the Turkic soldiers to dismount and put down their weapons. All the Turks in the tent also put down their weapons and armor, come out, stand together, and surrender to us!"
Li Daozong said.
"This is a matter of course!"
Tuli breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately, he sent a group of personal guards around to give orders to the surrounding areas.
In less than a moment, thousands of Turkic elderly people, women and children came out from the surrounding tents.
However, when these women and children came out, they looked at Li Daozong and others with wary expressions.
The group of Turkic soldiers who were surrounded also took off their leather armor, put down their weapons, and stood to one side.
At this moment, the army from behind also caught up.
Seeing this, Tuli and a group of Turkic soldiers also shrank their eyes. Fortunately, they had already prepared to surrender before.
"Prince Rencheng, all the people of Tuliyazhang are here!"
Tu Li reported to Li Daozong.
"Um!"
Li Daozong's face showed a hint of joy and said: "Don't worry Khan, since I have agreed to accept your surrender, as long as the people under the Khan's command will not take the initiative to attack my soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, my soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will not kill you."
People under the Khan’s tent!”
"Thank you so much, Prince Rencheng!"
Tu Li was overjoyed and bowed his hands repeatedly.
Li Daozong nodded slowly. It was a great joy to be able to capture all the Turkic barbarians under Tuli Khan's tent without spending a single soldier.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Li Daozong seemed to remember something and continued to ask Tu Li: "There should be a group of Han people under the Khan's tent. I wonder where those Han people are?"
"Han Chinese?"
Hearing this, Tu Li's expression changed slightly.
Li Daozong, Zhang Baoxiang and others also looked tense.
Fortunately, what they were worried about did not happen.
"Back to the King of Rencheng County, those Han people are staying in the tents at the rear! Or, there are still some Han people grazing cattle and sheep in the distance!" Tuli replied.
