Chapter 176 - Chapter 177

A difficult night passed, and in the Turkic camp, the Turkic soldiers who had no eyes closed all night looked at the rising red sun on the eastern horizon, but bursts of cheers burst into tears. They were all the herders at the bottom and did not understand any national hatred and family hatred. They only knew that Ashinazhen, the special agent, said that after nothing happened tonight, they would no longer have to fight with the Tang army and be able to live a safe life.

As for being a slave to the Tang Dynasty, they didn't care, because they were slaves to noble people, but just changed their masters.

Ashin looked at the bloody heads on the wooden pole and couldn't help but sigh deeply. At sunrise, he ordered the heads of several young Melu and Burke who tried to incite the army to attack the Yiwu Army camp at night. Now they can't stand it anymore. He just wanted to save as much of the lives of his tribe as possible. At this time, any restless person would be eliminated by him.

"You take care of the camp, I will go to the Yiwu Army camp to surrender!"

"Secret Service, I'll go!"

A Shin-jin's veteran who served as Helan Sunique spoke with him, "It's all because of this special agent. Now that the big thing that surrenders has not been completely accomplished, they dare not let Shin-jin take risks."

"Since Mr. Shen is trustworthy, how can I let him down? You don't have to say too much, I have my own ideas."

Asina really waved her hand and said that she was about to surrender, so she naturally had to show sincerity. Isn’t it a joke to be on the air?

...

When the sun rose, the army, who had been busy for most of the morning in front of the Yiwu Army camp, finally cleaned up the bodies of the Turks in front of the camp, but the land stained with countless blood still filled the smell of blood.

Shen Guang looked at the thousands of Turkic corpses covered with white cloth, and couldn't help but sigh at the cruelty of the war. At the same time, he was even more worried about the Anshi Rebellion eight years later. It was a civil strife that directly destroyed the prosperous Tang Dynasty. I don't know if he could...

"Langjun, Langjun."

Wang Shenyuan's slightly excited voice made Shen Guang, who was in deep thought, come back to his senses. He looked up and saw a team of only more than ten cavalry outside the camp, and the wolf-headed star looked very eye-catching.

In just a short moment, the entire Yiwu army camp became excited because the Turkic leaders came to surrender in person.

Li Shouzhong also didn't expect that Ashi was really coming. For a moment, his eyes at Shen Guang beside him became complicated, but soon he suppressed the jealousy in his heart. He was nearly fifty years old, so what else could he have to fight for? It would be better to make friends with this Shen Langjun and pave the way for his nephew.

Seeing the door of the Yiwu Army camp opened in front of him, and as the flags were waving, Tang army cavalry lined up outside, Ashinazhen signaled the guards to slow down their horses until they approached, and they did not get off the horse and lead their horses to walk.

"The sinner Ashinazhen asked Governor Li to surrender."

When Li Shouzhong heard Ashina Zhen's shouting, he was also moved. He did not stop immediately, but followed Shen Guang and stepped forward to support Ashina Zhen who was about to kneel down. Since he had decided to accept Ashina Zhen's surrender, he naturally wanted to give Ashina Zhen some face.

The saints in Chang'an City are unpredictable. Asina really led the people to surrender this time, maybe it would be in line with the saint's wishes!

Thinking of this, Li Shouzhong couldn't help but look at Chen Guang beside him. This Shen Langjun is really eloquent. The white ones can be said to be black, and the black ones can be said to be white. Yesterday, when the two privately discussed how to report to the court that Ashina was truly surrendering to the people, he was also open to his eyes.

It is said that the pen of a literati and the knife of a murderer. Li Shouzhong didn't think much of it at first. Most of his staff members were crooked and scattered by Wangs and the likes of the army. It was the first time he saw a good story-making expert like Chen Guang, but he could even scratch the itch between the saints and the court.

"The secret service doesn't have to be like this."

After helping Ashinazhen up, Li Shouzhong smiled and said, "If it weren't for Chen Langjun, I wouldn't have known that the Special Forces had such difficulties."

Ashina was really confused when she heard this, but she still responded with a smile. Then, as Li Shouzhong entered the Yiwu Army camp, he was now mostly settled.

After arriving at the tent, he looked at the banquet that had been prepared long ago. Asan knew that surrender was done. At the greeting of Li Shouzhong, he sat down at the lower head, with Chen Guang on the other side, and several generals of the Yiwu army accompanied him during the meal.

There are more than 25,000 Turkic tribes under Ashinazhen, so how to resettle is also a question. There are also many requirements for reporting to the court, and these are all discussed with Asazhen.

"If I hadn't Chen Lang this cup, I might have to share the life and death with the special agent on the battlefield. How could I have such a drink and chatting with you?"

"Respect your husband."

Ashinazhen raised her glass and said, knowing that Li Shouzhong is a proud and arrogant person. If he can make Li Shouzhong toast like this, it seems that the matter of surrendering is really entirely due to the Shen Langjun.

"The governor is so serious. He just did some internal affairs, not to mention that the Uighurs are cunning and bullying the Turkic remnants. As a country above the Heavenly Kingdom, how could the Tang Dynasty sit and wait and see and save it?"

Hearing Chen Guang's words, Ashina was really silent. He heard the hidden meaning between Chen Guang and Li Shouzhong's conversation. It seemed that his surrender was not so simple and simple.

So Asanna Zhen decided to speak less and listen more. While drinking, she drank a few glasses of wine. Listening to Chen Guang's frequent questions, Asanna Zhen also slowly understood Chen Guang's intention during the answer.

"The special agent is really a filial son. In order to serve his mother, he did not hesitate to leave Chang'an and returned to the grassland thousands of miles away."

...

"I didn't expect that the Uighurs were so cruel that they abused the Turkic remnants in every possible way. The Special Forces forced them to flee south. The Uighurs and Geluo were actually brave enough to chase the Special Forces and offend our Tang Dynasty border."

Chen Guang and Li Shouzhong sang and arranged the story of Asina Zhen's surrender clearly. Asina Zhen, who had been in Chang'an City for more than ten years, couldn't help but sigh that this story was not made up seamlessly, but at least it could allow the saints and the court to give them Turkic remnants a way out.

"The special service is very filial to my mother. I believe the saint will not blame the special service for leaving Chang'an without any reason. However, the number of survivors in your department is quite large, so it is difficult for the court to get..."

Asina is not a stupid person, so she naturally understands Chen Guang's implication. The most important thing in the story made up for him was to make him suffer. Only when they, the Turkic remnants, could the court not be afraid of anything, but would sympathize with them.

The 25,000 young men, women and children were not miserable. Only when there were less than 10,000 troops fleeing south in a panic, the court would allow the Beiting Protectorate to accept them.

This is the bottom line that Ashin learned from Chen Guang's words. There are still 15,000 tribes who cannot appear in Yizhou as Turkic remnants who defected to the Tang Dynasty.

177 hints and tacit agreement

Chen Guang was drinking wine alone, and he had given the hint he should give. Next, it depends on whether Ashi was really willing to accept it.

The population of the entire Yizhou is only 60,000 to 70,000, and the Turkic young and strong under Ashinoceros are 15,000 or 6,000. If it is reported truthfully, even if he compiled the story of Asuna Zhen leading the people to flee south to the Tang Dynasty, the court would definitely be afraid. No matter how good the saints are, they will think carefully.

Therefore, the five or six thousand young Turkic young men must think of a way to digest it before Li Shouzhong wrote to the court.

The plan given by Chen Guang was to organize the Hu merchants staying in Yiwu County to purchase Turkic slaves, and this was also used to bribe the Turkic nobles led by the Yiwu army and Ashin.

Ashina's face was really heavy. He knew that Chen Guang's idea was not bad, but he was a little unwilling in his heart. If he could save these 25,000 people, the Uighurs would inevitably backfire in the future. At that time, the Turks, as the new loyal dog of the Tang Dynasty, may not be unable to return to the grassland and regain their former status.

However, if Chen Guang's arrangement was followed, the chances of their Turks' revival would be completely slim. Once the herdsmen at the bottom became slaves, as long as their masters were not too harsh, they would never remember the glory of the Turks in the past. As for the remaining nobles, who would think of returning to the bitter and cold grassland after having money in their hands and seeing the prosperity and comfort of the Tang Dynasty's urban life?

In the end, only a few people left want to revive their past glory, what's the use?

But do you have a choice? After the Yiwu army was repaired, the combat power was complete. This was the poisonous bait he had to swallow!

Thinking of the fierce battle yesterday and the countless tribesmen who fell in front of the Yiwu army camp, Ashina looked up and said, "Everything is something that comes from the Governor and Shen Langjun."

Li Shouzhong was not surprised to see that Asina Zhen accepted Chen Guang's arrangement, because if Asina Zhen refused, the Turkic remnants would only suffer even worse. If they accepted it, they could at least protect some close tribes.

"I accompanied the special service back to An's remnants."

Accepting surrender is not a simple matter, especially the Turkic camp has 4,000 elite soldiers and more than 10,000 young and strong. This surrender cannot be completed in a short while.

Seeing that Ashinazhen said she wanted to go back to surrender, Chen Guang also stood up happily and said she wanted to go with her.

"Chen Lang worked hard for a long time, let others go."

Li Shouzhong advised that he was not worried about Chen Guang's robbery, but about Chen Guang's safety, because the matter of leading the crowd to surrender was definitely not as Ashina Zhen had originally thought, and it was inevitable that Ashina Zhen would have some other thoughts.

"Governor, let's go. At least the secret service members know someone and don't have any doubts."

Seeing Chen Guang insisting, Li Shouzhong could only agree, but let Ashinazhen, who was still silent, say, "Secret Service, I'll ask you for your safety. If Chen Langjun has anything to do, your subordinates can..."

"Don't worry, Governor, how dare I hurt Chen Langjun? If it weren't for Chen Langjun, I'm afraid that these Turkic remnants would not even have the chance to surrender to the Tang Dynasty."

Ashinazhen finally spoke and said that he had thought it through thoroughly. Some surrenders are better than those who have not surrendered. Ashina Shi Zhi is very talented, and even if the tribesmen join him, their fate may not be much better.

“That’s good.”

Li Shouzhong nodded, and then sent a general in the army to lead two hundred people to the Turkic camp with Chen Guang.

When leaving the Yiwu Army camp, Li Shouzhong also brought in a batch of wine from the army and handed it away for Chen Guang to take away, which was also considered their sincerity to surrender.

He turned over and looked at the carts of Plum Brews. Ashina looked really complicated. He looked at Chen Guang beside him and said, "Mr. Chen really said that I don't know what to do?"

"It doesn't matter if the special agent wants to blame Chen, but Chen has always had a clear conscience when acting!"

Chen Guang replied that it was the right idea to split the rest of the Turks under Ashinazhen's command. He did not agree to Li Shouzhong and his army's attack last night. It was already the end of his kindness. As the losers on the grassland, Ashinazhen and the others should have the awareness of the losers.

"Yes, Mr. Chen didn't let me down, it was me..."

Ashina was in a state of difficulty, and in the end he just walked side by side with Shen Guang and headed for his own camp.

When he was about to reach the Turkic camp, Ashinazhen was depressed all the way. Shen Guang, who never spoke, looked at the hundreds of cavalry in front of him and greeted him, but sighed, "Secret Service shouldn't be more happy? When he goes back like this, how can the Special Service persuade his subordinates to accept the arrangement?"

Upon hearing this, Ashinazhen couldn't help but look shocked, but then she smiled bitterly, "What Mr. Chen said is so great, I should be happy!" As she spoke, Ashinazhen forced a smile on her face and looked at the tribes who were coming to greet her.

"Secret Service!"

Soon, all the left-behind veterans arrived. When they saw Ashinazhen chatting and laughing with the Shen Langjun, the big rock fell into the ground, and it seemed that the surrender was still reliable.

"This is the fine wine brought by Chen Langjun, and I still want to thank Chen Langjun for his generosity!"

"Thank you, Mr. Chen!"

The Turks loved wine, especially those veterans. They hadn't been drinking happily for a long time. Now when they saw the carts of Plum Brew, their eyes were shining. The subordinates and elderly generals behind them could not help but thrust their throats, and they just wanted to go back to the camp to have a big drink.

After returning to the camp, Ashin immediately ordered people to spread the news that the Tang Dynasty accepted their surrender. Almost a moment later, Chen Guang heard a huge cheer in Ashin's tent, and the waves swept over like a tsunami.

At this time, even the Turkic generals who were still in the main station in their hearts could not help but change their faces. They finally understood why the special service said that people were tired of war. Even if they wanted to continue fighting the Tang army to the death, there would be no hope of victory.

"I'm going to order to slaughter cattle and sheep today so that everyone can eat enough and celebrate the festival well."

Asina's real order soon made the Turkish camp more noisy and lively. In the tent, a jar of open rose apple wine also made the generals and nobles in the tent forget everything. When the wine is in hand, they just want to drink it.

As beef and mutton were brought up one by one, everyone in the tent drank it. The nobles couldn't remember when they last drank this top-quality Pole Peach Brew. Thinking about the wandering days when the Uighurs were chasing around on the grassland, no one wanted to go back to the past.

During the banquet, many people frequently toasted Chen Guang, and Chen Guang also refused everyone. His amazing alcohol tolerance made these Turks deeply admire him.

When I was drunk, Ashinazhen suddenly raised her glass and knocked, "Everyone heard from me that the Tang Dynasty had allowed me to lead the people to surrender, but I was only allowed to have tens of thousands of people. The remaining tribes need to settle in other prefectures and counties. I want to hear what everyone thinks."

Chen Guang was interested and didn't interrupt. In fact, this secret service was indeed a smart person. If he just spoke in a different way, he would not have too much resistance from his subordinates.
