Chapter 180 Interception
The Hu merchants were regarded as stupid and had a lot of money. If they changed the past, those Turkic nobles would have to rely on their debts after getting cloth goods.
But now they are about to surrender, and the Yiwu army is backing the Hu merchants. After they lead their confidants to get their own money and goods in front of the camp, they drove their subordinates out of the camp and handed them over to the Hu merchants.
"These barbarians are really not things."
Seeing the Turkic slaves who had obtained, even the torn jackets that kept the cold on their bodies were stripped off by the nobles. Even the stingiest people in the Hushang couldn't help but scold them. After the autumn began, the weather became colder and colder day by day. If they did not match these Turkic slaves with warm clothes, the remaining 8,000 people would probably freeze to death.
These Turkic slaves were not theirs, but what Chen Langjun wanted. No matter how reluctant these Hu merchants were, they could only take the cloth from their own goods, cut it and distribute it, so as not to freeze all the Turkic slaves to death.
The camp was re-established by the Yiwu army camp and used it to take care of the eight thousand Turkic slaves. Chen Guang took the time to lead his subordinates' Kucha Liang family and the Hans to appease these Turkic slaves.
"Mr., even if we send so many Turkic slaves to Anxi, we have no place to settle them!"
Wang Shenyuan had completely regarded himself as Chen Guang's subordinate. Although there was a lot of wasteland in Huoshao City, Langjun had been recruiting veterans and men to settle down, so there was no spare place to accommodate so many people.
"There are no less than 50,000 or 60,000 people in Yanqi died, and this is no problem."
When Chen Guang left the Huoying City, all the remaining local tyrants in Yanqi were trembling. Li Siye led the Yanqi army to complete all the military rations that had accumulated over the years. He just wanted to say hello to Li Siye, and some places would resettle these Turkic slaves.
What Chen Guang’s most troublesome thing now is the lack of governance talents under his subordinates. Even if the Turkic slaves he bought from Li Shouzhong were dispersed and placed separately in Yanqi Town, they lacked enough officials to manage them, especially because he was still a slave who purchased as a private identity. He was not a family in the pass, so there were enough talents in the family to manage slaves.
"This trip to Chang'an is not the time!"
Chen Guang thought in his heart that if he could, he really wanted to recruit local good children and Hu merchants in Kucha and Yanqi to temporarily serve as officials to control these Turkic slaves. After all, he would settle the population and then go to Chang'an City. Now he could only ask Li Shouzhong and Yiwu Army to help.
"You all saw it. If it weren't for the kindness of Shen Langjun, you would all be frozen to death."
After Chen Guang left, the managers under Hu Shang naturally promoted the generous and kindness of the master Chen Guang to the Turkic slaves as their masters were instructed. They were all veterans of slave traders, so they naturally knew how to train these slaves to become familiar slaves, and how to cultivate their loyalty to their masters.
Returning to the Yiwu Army camp, Chen Guang approached Li Shouzhong, "Governor, have you asked for something?"
"Chen Lang has something to do, but he said that he is so apart from someone!"
Li Shouzhong, who has finally revised Chen Guang's article in the past few days, is in a good mood. Now he has sent the official documents to the Protectorate's Mansion, and it is estimated that it will be delivered to Chang'an City in winter. In this case, the court has to give instructions and wait until the spring of the next year. This period of time is enough for him to clean up the front and end without leaving any talk.
"Governor, now it is already late in autumn. It is difficult for the Turkic slaves I purchased to go to Anxi. I said I would have to spend the winter in Ganlu River. I also asked the Governor to take care of me. The food and clothing needed will be converted into money and paid to Yiwu Army."
"Is there anything I think about Chen Lang so nervous? It's such a trivial matter. Chen Lang, but don't worry, I will definitely not ask my subordinates to harass those Turkic female slaves."
Li Shouzhong laughed. Among the eight thousand Turkic slaves, there were three thousand female slaves alone. No wonder Chen Lang was so nervous. He was all bachelors under his command. If he didn't take it seriously, I'm afraid that everyone would have to go to Anxi with a big belly at the beginning of the next year. Chen Lang wouldn't have to settle the score with him at that time.
"Then I'll have to do my job."
"By the way, when will Chen Lang set off and go back?"
"I'll leave tomorrow."
"Is it so fast? But it's good. I'll get things done earlier, so I can save me more dreams."
Li Shouzhong and Shen Guang looked at each other tacitly and laughed. It was time for those Turkic nobles to send them to "Chang'an". Otherwise, the soldiers of the Yiwu army would not get the "reward" they should have, which would ruin their reputation.
...
In the Turkic camp, the festive atmosphere that originally surrendered to the Tang Dynasty was diluted as the nobles sold their tribes into slavery, which made the remaining lower-class herders and women more and more angry with these "prime species" who were born high. Even Ashi's real reputation could not be affected, and he lost his prestige.
"Master, are we really going to Chang'an City?"
A loyal guard asked around Ashinazhen, who was loyal to him, said that in his opinion, it would be better to stay in Yizhou and come freely than to be a cage bird in Chang'an City.
"Of course I want to go. If you don't want to go, stay."
With a sigh, Ashinazhen looked at the guard beside her and said, "This is a simple warrior. I believe anything he said, but he is not willing to lie to him again. "I have been to Chang'an this time, and I am afraid I will never be able to return to the grassland in this life. You can follow Mr. Chen in the future!"
"Master, do you want us anymore?"
The head guard knelt on one knee, looking at Ashinazhen with a depressed face, with a confused face. Although he and his companions were brave warriors, only Ashinazhen treated them as warriors and treated them with good respect. They were not as arrogant as other great nobles, and looked down on them, such as the poor herders.
"What nonsense is that you are the eagles in the sky and the horses on the earth. How can you be locked in a cage like me and not free?"
"Listen to me, following Mr. Chen to make a career will not be in vain."
"We are willing to serve the Lord for life."
Hearing Ashinazhen's words, the chief guard led the guards in the tent to kneel down on the ground and said loudly.
Ashina laughed, then shook her head, "I went to Chang'an, you will no longer be free. I am used to life there, but you can't get used to it. Maybe you can still bear it in one year or two, but three, five or ten years, you will eventually feel resentful. Instead of blaming me, the lord at that time, it's better for me to give you a good future. If you have the chance in the future, maybe I can still benefit from your fortune."
"Okay, get up, I'm determined. If you don't want to follow Mr. Chen, stay in Yizhou. If you meet a saint's general amnesty in the future, you can become a naturalized person in the Tang Dynasty. I believe you can also make some contributions to the Yiwu army."
...
The next morning, the energetic Turkic nobles led their confidants to bring their wealth and embarked on a journey to Chang'an with Asuna Zhen. In the past few days, they heard Asuna Zhen's words about the prosperity and wealth of Chang'an City, and they had long been yearning for it, especially Pingkangfang, where everyone wanted to taste the mellow wine and beauty there.
On the beach of Pulei, the team that had been running fast for a long time suddenly stopped. Ashinazhen said to the nobles, "You guys are waiting here..." After that, he led his guards to ride away, leaving only his carts of goods in place.
"It's so pretentious. You have to avoid being stolen and pee."
