The army passed, and the autumn did not commit any crimes.
The coalition army did not march fast, that is, thirty or fifty miles a day, but Li Chao was extremely strict with the coalition army.
Along the way, the Tang Dynasty officers were sent to serve as the chief of staff of the generals at all levels of the Xi and Qi tribal armies.
All the way to march and camp, you have to listen to the drums and orders of the Tang army.
"Alas, this Shuai Li commanded the troops, and he was really convinced."
Su Zhi looked at his Xi warriors, and now they had forbidden the orders of the Tang Army, and sighed very much, and there was still a lot of sourness in his tone.
He, the great chief of the Xi tribe, actually didn't have many soldiers who really commanded directly.
Originally, he only had a personal cavalry of 800 men, and then there were the herdsmen warriors of his own tribe, and although there were many other soldiers, they were all commanded by the chiefs and leaders of each tribe.
The soldiers of the Xi tribe are already relatively unruly, and the military discipline is always chaotic.
Even soldiers of the same clan can still fight often.
But now, under the training of these Tang Dynasty officers, the military discipline has become excellent.
On the road, there was no fighting, no procrastination, and when camping, there was no grabbing land, and there was no drinking and fighting.
Even passing by the herdsmen's pastures, no one stole sheep or anything like that.
These things are simply incredible.
"These guys who have never known the height of the sky and the height of the earth were actually shocked by the Tang Army."
"Alas, I should have been happy, but somehow, I was quite sad in my heart.
I, a warrior of the Xi tribe, have now become a group of tame sheep under the Tang people. ” "The mountains and water here are so beautiful."
Binh Duong rode on horseback and marveled at the mountains and streams on both sides of the road.
In May, the mountains are bustling with wildflowers, birds and beasts.
"Well, Yanbei is indeed beautiful, there are mountains, forests, rivers and streams, as well as grasslands and beaches.
It is not only a fertile pasture, but also a place to grow food, and if you look at these mountains and forests, there are also treasures in them.
Wood, medicinal herbs, and all kinds of wild things. ” "But such a beautiful place is occupied by the Hu people."
Pingyang was a little worried, "If you sell firearms to them and don't ask the imperial court, will it be bad."
I think they are strong and strong, but I am afraid that sooner or later they will threaten Datang. ” "It's just 2,000 muskets, not as good as 2,000 bows, it's no threat to us, and our 2,000 guns for 40,000 big fat sheep is quite cost-effective.
This is equivalent to the Divine Machine Army being equipped with firearms, and as a result, Xi Qi went to pay for it. ” As for the threat of these two races, there must be one, after all, they are also quite strong.
But Li Chao had a way to slowly control them.
However, there are many ways to control it, ranging from fierce conquest to milder erosion.
For example, through trade, let these upper-class nobles enjoy many economic benefits, and then pass on many luxurious life habits to them, and then envelop them with titles such as official titles and titles, in short, to make them part of the economy of the Tang Dynasty, so that they can not do without the economy of the Tang Dynasty in the future.
To put it bluntly, this is actually a kind of economic colonization.
Those colonial empires often used this method against the colonies, that is, to let the colonies develop a single economy, become part of the empire's economy, or even just a supplier of raw materials for the empire.
Industries that contain technology, such as processing and manufacturing, were strictly forbidden to be owned by the colonies.
Even a single needle, not for them to be processed, but shipped from the Empire.
In this way, even if the colony has excellent resources, it is only a resource supplier.
If you fall out with the mother country, then as long as everything is cut off, the colony will collapse immediately.
Because they have nothing but resources, let alone production and manufacturing capabilities, and they don't even have a little foundation.
Li Chao planned to treat Xi Qidan like this.
Let Xi and Khitan become the ranches of the Tang Dynasty, providing milk and meat and fur.
Datang can sell them all kinds of handmade products, cloth, clothes, pots and pans, and even knives, but it does not provide them with some raw materials such as iron, blocks technology from them, and does not allow them to have their own processing and manufacturing capabilities.
In this way, it can be said that even if they have money, it is also a rather deformed economy, and if they want to oppose the Tang Dynasty, then they will return to the pre-liberation period overnight.
When the time comes, they find that they have returned to the old days, and they want to rebel, and they can't even make swords.
Instead of struggling to attack the Xiqihu tribe and rob their cattle and sheep, it is better to change the means and let them graze for the Tang Dynasty willingly, provide cattle, sheep and horses, milk and meat for the Tang Dynasty, and provide fur.
"Can you really do this" Li Chao's words seemed to be a fantasy in Pingyang, but Li Chao just smiled.
Sometimes, think differently, things are actually very simple.
What's the point of blindly fighting and killing, do you think that Hu people really like to fight and kill by nature If there is a better life, a more comfortable and prosperous life, they will definitely be willing to give up the old life.
The army marched westward, getting closer and closer to the territory set up by the Valley of Desire.

"These damn Donghu people, shameless Xianbei seeds, swaying wall grass from side to side" Lust Gu set up a big tent and scolded, and in the angry scolding, it was difficult to hide his panic.
Last time, Yu shot to intercept and kill Li Chao, but he didn't go.
As he expected, Yu Shot was defeated, but what he didn't expect was that Yu Shot was so shameless, and he was pitted by the Tang people, but after being captured by Li Chao in the end, he surrendered to Tang.
Yu Shot not only surrendered himself, but also gave all the population territory he controlled in the western part of Monan to the Tang Dynasty.
Originally, Mo Nan was stationed with two people, one on one side, and the Tang people didn't dare to mess around.
But he defended Monan alone, and Tong Yehu also let him join forces with the Goguryeo people to attack the Tang Dynasty. 100,000 soldiers and horses, the defeat was so fast and so miserable.
Goguryeo's 50,000 troops were wiped out, and his 50,000 men also lost almost 30,000. finally escaped back to Monan, but his strength was greatly damaged.
But now, Tongye Hu is useless in Mobei, and there is a rebellion in Moxi.
Tong Yehu left Mobei and returned to the Western Regions to quell the chaos, but he suddenly became a loner.
Wanting Gu She, he was still counting on the Khitan, Xi, and Murowei departments in the east to give him support and jointly resist the Tang people.
It turned out to be good, I was really unlucky, and I drank cold water and stuffed my teeth.
Xi and Khitan surrendered Tang without saying a word, and now they each led 30,000 soldiers and horses to follow Li Chao to attack.
"How many fighters have been gathered" Desire Valley turned his head and asked the people below.
"Eighty thousand."
A few people replied a little lacking in confidence, and they scraped together, and all the people were soldiers, and they did get together 80,000 people.
But these 80,000 are no longer all fierce warriors, 80,000 people, and the old and weak account for nearly half.
Many people are old and can't run a horse.
Some young teenagers are not as tall as horses.
Lust Valley's face was very gloomy.
"What about the messengers sent to Mobei and Murowei, can they send reinforcements, and the messengers who went to Moxi to ask for help have come back?"
"The messengers sent to the Murwei and other ministries have returned, and several of them have made excuses for refusing to send troops.
The messenger to the Western Regions has not returned, and the Western Regions are now the culprits of the Great Khan and Mo Hedu, and the Tang people have sent troops and money to support Mo Helu, so they don't have time to care about our side. ” Disappointed and decadent sat down.
There are no reinforcements.
Not a single one.
He was on his own.
However, how can these 80,000 rabble fight with the Tang army Li Chao came with 80,000 soldiers and horses, and he received news that Wei Chigong's soldiers and horses from Hebei had been stationed on the front line of Yanshan, and Li Ji from Hedong also sent his soldiers and horses to Daibei.
Even on the Hetao side, Li Chao's eldest disciple Zhenbei Du Su Dingfang also brought people to his side.
Surrounded on all sides.
It's a dead end.
"Why don't we withdraw?"
"Where to retreat?"
asked Yugu.
Go to Mobei and now the Tiele people are all reversed, and the Xue Yantuo Khanate can't control Ye Hu, and as soon as Ye Hu leaves, Mobei is even more invincible.
He took such a few people to Mobei, and he couldn't get mixed up at all.
Go to Moxi Not to mention that Tong Yehu and Mo Helu fought in Moxi, and Datang and Tuyuhun intervened in it, which is far away, and they will definitely be intercepted and ambushed along the way, and it is still a matter of whether they can get by.
Even if he goes, how can he tell Tong Ye Hu.
He threw Mo Nan away like this Besides, when I went to Moxi, there was no place for him.
"Let's talk to Li Chao."
"What are you talking about?"
the crowd asked puzzled.
"Desire Valley set to surrender to the Tang Dynasty" Li Chao listened to the words of the envoy of Desire Valley, and was not excited, but said calmly.
"Desire Valley is not surrendering, it is willing to attach to the Tang Dynasty.
However, there are several requirements for Desire Valley. ” Li Chao waved his hand to interrupt the Turkic envoy's next words, "You don't have to talk nonsense, if Desire Valley envisions surrendering, then I will consider it."
Of course, it has to be an unconditional surrender, and if Lust Gushe still wants to bargain with me, then there is no need. ” The Turkic envoys were stupid.
They thought that when they came to talk about attaching to Datang, Li Chao would be very happy.

"Desire Valley is really sincere."
"If there is really sincerity, then you can let Lust Gusha come to see me in person.
I only gave three days to think about it, and told Yugusha that I would only accept unconditional surrender" The envoy thought that Li Chao was drunk, but he didn't look like it, and when he was finally taken out by the guards, he was still stunned.
"Shall we go back like this?"
"So what's going on?"
Several messengers looked at each other, helpless.
"Since you want to be attached to Gu She, why do you refuse" In the military tent, everyone asked Li Chao puzzled.
"Right now, there is no way out for Desire Gushe, at this time, why do we have to tell him about the conditions, as long as we take care of it, he must come to us again."
Now that he is talking to Desire Valley, he must want to be the same as Xi and Khitan, only nominally attached, but in fact he still wants to continue to maintain the current situation. still has to be in front of the king of Monan.
How could Li Chao agree, how could he agree to such a result after a lot of effort.
"What if he jumps off the wall in a hurry?"
Li Chao smiled, he was not afraid of jumping over the wall, he wanted to set up the little people and horses, where did he jump, Li Chao had 80,000 horses under him, and Xi Qi had 60,000 horses.
Pull them over, why not.
Desire Valley is really going to fight, Li Chao is still eager to use Xi Qi to destroy Desire Valley, not only to consume their strength, but also to completely conquer Mo Nan.
If it is not broken or standing, when Li Chao wants to round or flatten the Monan Turks, it is not a matter of his words.
At that time, Mo Nan can be regarded as truly owned by Tang.
Instead of leaving another vassal king who supports his own army and respects. t1706231537:
