Chapter five hundred and fifteen wounded soldiers
Under the burning bonfire, watching the cowards of the seven tribes including Yeli in the distance happily take the small bag of green salt and a few feet long from the Tang samurai who served as their centurion, and even get the Tang sabers, which made the Tuoba tribe very angry.
Although they were almost defeated by the seven coalition forces in the war that had just ended, they did not admit that they had lost to the Yeli clan. If the cowards of the Mi Qin clan had not been the samurai of the Tang Dynasty, they would have won.
However, the Tuoba people did not dare to complain about Chen Guang, the Great Protector, but they were even more angry with the remaining seven tribes that slandered them in front of the Great Protector.
In the half-day fierce battle, nearly 5,000 people were killed or injured on both sides. For the Dangxiang people who were short of medical treatment, the injured herdsmen on the battlefield were no different from those who died. When cleaning the battlefield, although they followed Chen Guang's orders, they carried the wounded soldiers back to the separately marked wounded camp.
However, the leaders such as Tuoba Ping and Ye Lichen never took the wounded soldiers seriously. This was the most normal thing. This is the law of survival of these nomadic tribes in the wilderness where survival was harsh. Like wild beasts, their injured companions could only be abandoned.
Among the nearly 3,000 wounded soldiers, most of them were warriors from the Tuoba tribe. When they were lying in a simple camp tent and waiting for death with the cowards of the Yeli, Fangdang and Miqin clans who had been killed before, no one expected that the deaths, who were abandoned by the tribe, were worthy of survival.
"The Prophet said that you are the masters of your own on the battlefield and will never retreat. You are all real warriors."
After receiving the order from Chen Guang, the officers of the Thunder Ye Army who served as centurions in the seven divisions of Yeli and other tribes entered the wounded camp. Although in just over ten days, the wounded soldiers of the Yeli and other tribes were all very impressed by their centurions.
"Your leader sold you to the Protector." The centuries looked at the wounded soldiers and said loudly, "Protector said that he would not allow warriors like you to die silently like wounded beasts, so you lucky guys must survive even if you fight to death, and don't let the Protector down on your love for you!"
As the centurions said, the medical officers in the Thunder Ye Army led skillful soldiers into the tent to clean the wounds and apply medicine to the wounded soldiers. Even those who were seriously injured were taken care of, which made all the wounded soldiers cry. Although some of the wounded soldiers who could not stand died during the treatment process, the remaining people were no longer so desperate.
In the end, when these surviving soldiers changed into clean clothes and ate stewed horse meat, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed. They vowed to die for the great guardian Chen Guang.
Xue Zhenzhu looked at the wounded soldiers of the Tuoba tribe and Yeli tribe forgot their hatred, shouting the name of the Lord together, and sighing at the way their Lord was. She turned around and said to the subordinates beside her, "Did you see it? This is the truth that the Lord often teaches, "With virtue, the benevolent, and the benevolent are invincible!" and told these Dangxiang people that from now on, they will be servants of the Three Thousand Battalions. Only by fighting hard on the battlefield and using bravery to prove their loyalty to the Lord can they be worthy of becoming a member of my Three Thousand Battalions."
"Yes, General."
The officers from all ethnic groups all came to the wounded barbarians and began to educate. Now the three thousand battalions are Xue Zhenzhu's theory that being a barbarian is the original sin.
The lord is a living god and Buddha with great compassion, so he forgives their sins and allows their descendants to be born into the Chinese clan and not accept the barbarians.
Zhang Xun led Li Bai, Du Fu and others to record the military names of these surviving Dangxiang warriors in the wounded barracks, "The Lord has won all the hearts of the people!"
Du Fu couldn't help but sigh that he had been in the Fire City for less than half a year, but he also saw those Kucha people, Yanqi people, Turks and other Hu people who were subdued by the Lord were proud of becoming Tang people. They didn't need their supervision. They would study Tang Yan day and night. If their children did not study hard in school, they would just hang on the tree and beat them hard.
In their words, being able to meet the Lord is a blessing that they will never be able to cultivate in their ten lives. If they change to other places, their children will be able to learn to read, and they will survive.
"This General Xue has some tricks!"
Li Bai was very interested in the theory that being a barbarian is the original sin, and resisting turning razed into Xia is even more sinful. Especially the officers of the Three Thousand Battalions talked about the nobles on the grassland eating lambs and drinking milk when they were in the disaster, while the herdsmen below could only eat grass roots and eat ice and snow and watched the children froze to death and starve to death, and they were not as good as the hunting dogs of the nobles. However, whenever the Tang Dynasty wanted to shine the wealth of Chinese civilization on them, the nobles who claimed to be noble in blood encouraged them to resist the royal army.
"The nobles did not regard you as human beings from beginning to end. In the eyes of your leaders, you are not even as good as animals. You follow them to launch an unjust war, to loot other tribes, and to enslave people like you. Are your life better? You will still be hungry. If your wives and daughters are favored by those nobles..."
Li Bai felt familiar from these words. Isn’t this the content of Shen Xue? Li Bai remembered that the content of the Lord’s manuscript was very complicated, probably from the geographical environment of the grassland to productivity and then to class contradictions. He was confused when he asked in detail, but the Lord was unwilling to talk in depth.
It seems that General Xue is a fellow who can communicate well. Li Bai stroked his beard and said, "He is an unparalleled poet and has amazing language talent. He can originally know several languages, Turkic and Sogdian languages when he was young. Later, he learned a lot when he traveled around the world, and at the same time he could also learn more dialects from other places."
Although he was in charge of the military officer, he often dealt with soldiers everywhere in the military camp, doing the work called political commissar that the Lord had once said, to understand what the soldiers were thinking, and to tell the soldiers why they fought.
...
In the brightly lit tent, Tuoba Ping led the nobles of the clan to kneel on the ground, asking Shen Guang to also send the Tang Dynasty warriors to serve as centurions in their army.
"My Tuoba tribe is willing to be loyal to the Great Protector and the Tang Dynasty for generations."
Tuoba Ping knew very well that once the Protector sent a warrior to serve as the centurion of his warriors, it would not take long before the Warriors knew that there was a Protector, but he did not know that he was the leader, but he had no choice.
The other seven tribes were centuries commanders with Tang Dynasty warriors, but their Tuoba tribe was not. Not to mention how this scheming Shen Dadushi would view their Tuoba tribe, even the warriors in the tribe would be dissatisfied.
"I would also like to ask the Prophet to send the warriors to serve as the centurion of the warriors of our Tuoba tribe."
Chen Guang laughed. Tuoba Ping was a sensible person. "Principal Tuoba asked him to come up and take a seat. Today, a banquet was held here. I hope that your Xiang Eighth Ministry will be as close as a family from now on, and no longer have brothers to fight against each other and fight in the same room."
"Thank you, Protector."
