0574 Huge goods are tempting, greed is unstoppable
"The Tang people's warehouse is so rich!"
The wolf cavalry commander Luo Teqin entered the city warehouse that had been controlled by the Turkic army. Seeing the shelf full of silk, silk, various fur, felt, and metal objects such as gold, silver, copper and iron, I couldn't help but exclaim.
After seeing the scene full of goods, other Turkic soldiers around were also ecstatic for a moment.
Although these Turkic warriors have been invincible in the desert over the past decade, burning, killing, looting and robbing, the targets they attacked in previous years were just some miscellaneous tribes, and their income was nothing more than some population and livestock. Although they invaded the border prefectures of the Tang Dynasty several times and had won and lost each other, they rarely had such a rich harvest.
After all, Yuanzhou was not the front line of fighting against the Turks. There were also Lingzhou, the entire Hequ and Fengzhou in Hetao, and it was a key place connecting Longyou and the Western Regions. The abundant materials were beyond those pure border military towns.
But after being shocked, the Turkic soldiers felt dissatisfied and said, "Roteqin, before the warriors entered the castle, many miscellaneous people rushed in. They must have snatched a lot of property. These are the spoils of our Turkic warriors. How can those lowly miscellaneous people occupy it!"
"It's right! Khan used such a sophisticated strategy to allow our warriors to capture the Tang people's castle. Those miscellaneous people are even more humble than livestock. They must not allow them to share our wealth!"
After hearing this, Luo Teqin's face suddenly showed a ruthless expression and said loudly: "Leave some of the troops to guard the property in these warehouses, and the rest will follow me to chase and kill Zahu. Kill all those who hold the items in their hands!"
Speaking of this, he paused and added: "Don't kill those that have not been robbed first. If you want to transport these goods back to the desert, you still need these miscellaneous people to do their best!"
After hearing this, the Turkic soldiers all responded that they did not need concentrated command. At this time, the chaotic soldiers were distributed inside the city, outside the city, and headless flies were rushing around, and it was not easy to kill them.
"Luo Teqin, in fact, Khan didn't need to drive the Tang army in the mixed alleys to fight. The Tang army was scared out of its courage and actually voluntarily abandoned the city and fled. Khan made such arrangements, as if he didn't trust our wolf cavalry..."
After the soldiers scattered and chased the miscellaneous beards, a wolf cavalry guard approached Luo Teqin and whispered.
"Don't talk nonsense! Khan did this to cherish the lives of our tribe warriors."
After hearing this, Luo Teqin glared and rebuked. In fact, he had similar thoughts in his mind. Although he thought Khan was a little brilliant at first and let them fight against the Tang army by expelling Zahu, this arrangement seemed a bit redundant as the Tang army abandoned the city.
The out-of-controlled miscellaneous Hu in the river valley did not argue with us. Although they were not opponents, they greatly restricted the mobility of the Turkic cavalry, preventing them from galloping freely and chasing the fleeing Tang army, but failed to rush into the castle as soon as possible.
After checking it just now, a considerable number of the storage of goods in the city were looted by the miscellaneous Hus who entered the city first. These were the spoils that their Turkic warriors rushed for thousands of miles and should enjoy! Even if they were able to chase and kill those Hus who participated in the looting in time, they would inevitably cause certain losses, making them unable to achieve their full success in this trip!
Of course, Luo Teqin dared not speak out about this dissatisfaction. If Khan believed that Ye Hudu was instructing them, it would have very bad consequences.
As soon as their group arrived near the city gate, they saw Khan entering the city surrounded by the guards. Luo Teqin quickly dismounted and greeted him, with a warm smile on his face again.
However, before he could speak, he saw Khan pointing the whip in his hand at him from afar. The guards behind him rushed up instantly, separating Luo Teqin from other Turkic warriors.
"What is Khan doing?"
Seeing this, Luo Teqin couldn't help but panic and asked hurriedly.
Mochu rolled over and dismounted, Kuo walked to Roteqin, signaling the guards around to gather together to block the outside world's sight. He waved his whip to Roteqin's chest and said angrily: "Roteqin, do you dare not obey my order? Do you think I really don't dare to kill you?"
Luo Teqin was wearing armor. There was not much pain when the whip was whipped, but he was a little confused by the whip for a moment. After a moment, a hint of shame and annoyance rose in his heart. Seeing that Khan's face turned pale, he quickly remembered what Khan said to him before, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "How dare you disobey Khan's orders! But, the Tang army suddenly abandoned the city, and the miscellaneous Hus in the valley seized the castle. They snatched the spoils that belonged to our Turkic warriors. I was worried that the losses would be greater, so I ordered the warriors to go into the valley to chase..."
"Are you worried? My account is outside the valley. Do you think Khan's majesty is not worth sending someone to ask for instructions?"
Mochu became even more angry after hearing this, and whipped Luo Teqin several times: "Even if the master's cow and horse are exposed to wind and sand, they can only return to the master's ranch to hide! Even if the first-class horse on the grassland is led to the horses elsewhere, they must be shot and killed! I have warned you, but you repeatedly despise me, take off your armor and hand over your sword! The wolf cavalry is Khan's guard, not your private subordinate, and can only obey Khan's orders!"
When Luo Teqin heard this, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, but after a moment of silence, he still kowtowed: "Thank you for your grace of not killing."
Seeing that Luo Teqin obediently handed over the command of the wolf cavalry, Mochu's face improved slightly.
This Luo Teqin is also considered the restoration elder of their Khanate. He was one of the seventeen people who first followed his brother Gu Dulu to rebel against the Tang Dynasty. If another person dared to repeatedly violate his majesty, he would definitely kill the other party with a knife!
In addition to being angry that the Wolf Cavalry violated the order, Mochu was also very satisfied with the successful capture of the remaining sub-city of the Tang army in the river valley. This time, the army was heading south and running thousands of miles. There was not without opposition among the tribe, but the harvest in Yuanzhou was also unprecedented in the Turks in recent years.
The previous plundering gains had been sent back to the tent of Yu Dujunshan, which was to comfort the elders of the Khanate. As for the gains of the plundering gains in Yuanzhou, Mochu did not intend to transport them back to Yu Dujunshan.
After all, his power in the den was weak. Whether it was his other brother Du Situ or his important minister Ashide Yuanzhen, his influence was higher than that of him. So he wanted to transport these materials back to Heisha City, Nanya, where was his sphere of influence.
With such a prominent victory this time, coupled with the huge amount of materials in his hands, he had enough chips to pull the Khanate back to the south of the desert and to use the Tang Dynasty as its main target of plunder in the future.
After the great victory, Mochuo did not lose his mind. After all, he is still in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. How to evacuate safely is the most important test next.
After the preliminary inventory of the goods from the remaining ten sub-cities, Mochu was shocked. However, after interrogating the miscellaneous people who entered the city first, they learned that the Tang army did not abandon the city and fled without being held back, Mochu felt even more and more that something was wrong.
"We must withdraw troops as soon as possible!"
After making a decision in his heart, Mochu immediately ordered the troops to quickly prepare chariots, horses, and animals to transport supplies.
Now, his tribe has less than 10,000 troops. Just now, the supplies in Zhucheng have far exceeded their carrying capacity. There is no need to greed for the supplies robbed by the miscellaneous people. It is better to leave Yuanzhou as soon as possible to count the plan.
"First, if you have any spare energy to transport other materials, weapons, grain and other materials, then choose them!"
Sometimes, the spoils are too generous, and it is a burden. So many supplies are placed in front of you, but you can only transport some of them away. Mochu felt very distressed, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. It would be great if he didn't give up the scattered servants. If these scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered
But just as this thought arose in his heart, Mochu felt a greater sense of crisis: Even he couldn't help but think so, and you can imagine how those tribal soldiers would feel!
The reason why he gave up the vassals of the Miscellaneous Hu was naturally considered by him. He knew very well that these Miscellaneous Hus were just treating their Turkic troops as thugs who broke the original order of this realm, and were not the same as their Turkic people from beginning to end. Once he took in these people, it would definitely cause great harm.
Even if he knew the pros and cons so well, he couldn't help but be confused by the goods in front of him. Those who were used to poverty would inevitably become even more greedy.
"Select scouts quickly to investigate the 30-50-mile range. Once you notice signs of the activities of the Tang army, you will get a quick return!"
Although he had realized in his heart that the Tang army might have left the city to use these goods to lure them to continue to stay in the territory and gain more time to encircle them, Mochuo was really reluctant to give up after he wasted such great efforts.
While he stepped up his orders to pick up and transport supplies, he sent scouts to investigate the enemy's stalkers, and actually had a little luck in his mind. There was a turmoil in the two capitals of the Tang Kingdom, and it was definitely difficult to mobilize a large number of troops to reinforce Yuanzhou in a short period of time. Even if there were reinforcements, they might not be their opponent.
Although Mochu sent many scouts, he did not know that after leaving the city, these scouts were soon attracted by other things. The valley was filled with a large number of people who were full of wealth and goods, and they were simply walking packages, which made people feel unbearable and subconsciously wanted to chase and seize wealth.
