When Xuanlong Army returned, the people of Pule County were standing on both sides, holding the elderly and young, watching the army that saved them. These people were besieged by the Turks for dozens of days, and were frightened every day. They also had to take the Turkish arrows and stones to help the army defend the city. Although the city was not broken, every household hung white banners.

When the city is in crisis, both the military and civilians are looking forward to the emergence of reinforcements day and night, but they gradually turn from hope to despair. When many people have not seen reinforcements for a long time, they even cursed at the court for fear of death.

Although the reinforcement army has saved them, their relatives have long been dead. The relationship with this reinforcement army is suddenly complicated. I don’t know if it should be thankful for saving them, or if they blamed them for coming too late and letting their relatives die.

Looking at the tattered clothes along the way, many people with blood on their bodies were looking at them silently, the excitement of Xuanlong Army's killing of the enemy just now suddenly subsided. The whole scene was dull and everyone felt a sense of depression.

An old man walked towards Yang Tian tremblingly, and several personal soldiers hurriedly blocked him. Yang Tian shouted, "Get out of the way."

Yang Tian thought he would be warmly welcomed by the people after returning to the city, but he never expected that it would be such an atmosphere. He just looked at the broken city walls, the blood on the people, and the people were all old, weak, women and children, and less than one of the ten people was young and strong. Yang Tian felt something, and these people probably blamed the reinforcements for coming too late and letting their relatives die.

Yang Tian smiled bitterly in his heart. After knowing the situation, he could be said to be on the road with stars and moonlight. He didn't expect that he would be blamed by the people. He just knew that this was not the time for arguments, and the people must be allowed to expose their resentment. Otherwise, the tens of thousands of people he had worked hard to rescue would not only not be grateful to them, but would instead develop resentment.

Watching the old man walk towards the army riding on the tall horse, the people around him were a little uneasy, and many people whispered: "Isn't this Mr. Xu? What are he going to do?"

"It's so miserable. Alas, the five sons of the Xu Bo family died in the guard city. Now there are only a few young grandsons in the family. Could it be that Mr. Xu is trying to make sense to them?"

"If it weren't for the help of others, we would die."

"Yes, we are always saved by others, and we cannot forget our roots."

A woman choked up and said, "If they could come one day earlier, my husband wouldn't have died, just one day earlier."

As soon as this sentence was said, many people choked up and cried all over the place. The soldiers of the Xuanlong Army just now called the people ungrateful, but just listened, their eyes turned red. Indeed, if the court heard the news, they would send reinforcements. The reinforcements could arrive at at least half a month ago, and Pinggao County would not fall into the hands of the Turks, so they did not have to travel through the mountains to help. Although the soldiers of the Xuanlong Army felt wronged, they could not tell. Could it be said that the late arrival was all the fault of the court.

Seeing the old man approaching, Yang Tian quickly dismounted, and other soldiers of the Xuanlong Army also dismounted. There was a burst of noise at the scene. Everyone looked at the old man with their eyes wide open. I wonder what he would do and whether he would offend the general who looked very young in front of him who was covered in armor and looked very young.

"General, general, the Turks ran away?"

Yang Tian nodded: "If you run away, you will be killed by us."

"It's better to run away, it's better to kill it, but my five sons can't come back. Son, eldest, second, third, fourth, fifth, you all leave, even if you leave one person behind." The old man burst into tears, his body softened, and he sat on the ground.

When the old man cried, the sadness sounded even louder around him. Yang Tian heard it miserably and supported the old man: "Old man, we are late."

"No, General, I still want to thank you. Although you did not rescue my son, you still saved my grandson." The old man waved to the crowd, and there were two young boys of seven or eight years old standing there: "Miss San, Xiao Wu, come here."

The two boys looked at their grandfather and then at the Xuanlong Army soldiers around them, feeling a little scared. The soldiers had just returned from chasing the Turks, but the murderous aura on their bodies had not yet been eliminated.

"Come here." The old man shouted heavily, and the two boys dragged their pace to Yang Tian.

"Kneel down and kneel down to the general."

With a plop, both boys knelt down and kowtowed as grandpa said, but they counted that it was blood red on their foreheads.

Yang Tian was deeply moved. These people were still so pure. Pule County was besieged for more than 40 days. Although it was not blamed on him, the court was absolutely responsible: "Old man, let them get up."

"It's okay, General, let them kowtow a few times, for themselves and for their father. Although their father has gone, the general has avenged them. They should kowtow to you. General, I have also kowtowed to you. Although Pule County lost its adults, there are still children. As long as the children are still there, I still have hope, and Pule County has hope."

When the old man knelt down like this, the people around him were dazed and followed him. When the reinforcements fought against the Turks under the city, most of the people went up to watch. They witnessed the heroic battles of the reinforcements to fight the enemy with their own eyes. In any case, it was a fact that these reinforcements saved them. Although most of the young and strong died, the children in Pule County were still there, and there was still hope.

I don’t know who shouted out the slogan of long live, and then all the people shouted, shouting wildly and crying. The soldiers of the Xuanlong Army breathed a sigh of relief. The feeling of depression just now made them feel more uncomfortable than defeating the battle. Although the cheers were mixed with a lot of sadness, the depressing atmosphere finally disappeared.

Da Xi Changru was supported by a personal soldier and came up from behind. He came to Yang Tian, ​​pushed the personal soldier away and bowed to Yang Tian: "Thank you, the general for saving tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Pule County."

Da Xi Changru was a county duke and a long-time general. He made countless contributions during the reign of Emperor Wu. Although Yang Tian now has the title of front-line general manager, he could control him, but he didn't dare to let him salute him. He quickly supported Da Xi Changru: "Mr. Le'an, you can't kill the younger generation."

"How can you be worth it? If you have ambitions, you can't do this at your age." Da Xi Changru had a brief conversation with his son just now, and basically knew the situation of Xuanlong Army. Yang Tian took a great risk to save him. If he was not careful, he would trap himself in. Although Yang Tian was a junior, Da Xi Changru sincerely thanked him for him and for the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians who survived.

"You can't take it, you can't take it." Yang Tian hurriedly and humbled and personally helped Changxi Changru into the city.

In addition to Da Xihong's 500 people, the soldiers of the Xuanlong Army entered this city for the first time. The entire city can be said to be full of wilderness. Many houses were broken into ruins. Both sides of the streets were covered with white, and they were newly built mourning halls. Due to the siege of the Turks and the business trips were cut off, there were no people on the market. Compared to defeating the Turks, the reconstruction of Pule County in the future may be more difficult.

After returning to the city, the Xuanlong Army began to count the results of the war. This time, the Turks suddenly escaped for no reason. Bai asked the Xuanlong Army to pick up a big advantage. The results were undoubtedly amazing. In addition to killing and killing 2,000 Turks at the southern gate and capturing 1,000 Turks, the Xuanlong Army killed more than 700 Turks at the eastern gate. On the way to pursue the north gate, the Turks buried more than 3,000 corpses. After a great battle, the Xuanlong Army captured more than 7,000 Turks with 2,000 people. In addition to the number of people who died during the siege, the 20,000 Turks only escaped for four or five thousand. Even if the Turks discovered the virtuality and reality of the Xuanlong Army and could gather all the escaped people, they could no longer pose a threat to Pule County. The only thing that could be considered was the movements of the 70,000 Turks in Pinggao County.

The Turks fled in a hurry, and this time they left a lot of materials, with more than 7,000 war horses alone. These are all the best war horses of the Turks. If they were transported back to Chang'an, a horse could be sold for hundreds of stagnants. There were tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, and there were also many other weapons, armor and staff.

These are all spoils. According to the rules, 70% of them must be handed over to the court, and 30% of them can be dealt with by Yang Tian. Yang Tian does not want to hide the war horses. Anyway, the court can be transferred down as much material as the Xuanlong Army needs, so there is no need to leave a handle. There are more than 2,000 war horses, enough for the Xuanlong Army to replace one with one.

But tens of thousands of cattle and sheep were left behind and handed over to Da Xi Changru, asking him to distribute these things to the people in the city. He also left the thousands of extra horses of the Xuanlong Army to Da Xi Changru. These horses were all good horses and were not worse than those of the Turkic horses.

The rules of the court are rules, and few can be really implemented. You should know that the more than 5,000 war horses handed over to the court are worth 600,000 to 700,000 guan. With cattle and sheep and war horses for Da Xi Changru, these things are probably worth about one million guan. Although the Xuanlong Army does not lack war horses, they can be resold privately. Yang Tian is young and can withstand such temptation without being greedy for a single piece of paper. Da Xi Changru immediately respects Yang Tian.

Yang Tian is not greedy because he doesn't need money and can make money with millions of coins. Yang Tian completely thinks it is worth it, not to mention that tens of thousands of cattle and sheep are divided. Everyone knows that this is the spoil of the Xuanlong Army, and he is immediately grateful to the Xuanlong Army.

This time, the Xuanlong Army attacked more with fewer attacks. Although it was unthinkable, there were also considerable casualties, including 205 people and more than 400 people injured. What made Yang Tian happy was that his personal soldiers followed him closely, and only more than ten people were injured, and they were not damaged.

The most serious casualties were the man who was led by Shi Wansui. Shi Wansui and his subordinates fought in two consecutive battles at the East Gate and North Gate. Almost everyone was injured. Among the 205 people who died, there were 167 of Shi Wansui's 500 people alone. It can be said that one of his manors had been damaged.

However, without Shi Wansui taking this man and horse to fight bloody battles, it can be said that there would be no easy victory this time. Afterwards, Yang Tian learned about Shi Wansui's two battles at the East Gate and North Gate, and immediately looked at Shi Wansui with admiration. It was a blessing to get such a brave general.

Only Wang Shu was a little depressed. He was the owner of this building, and his contributions were mostly due to Shi Longsui, and his personal soldiers also lost a lot in this battle.

After dealing with the spoils of war, more than a thousand Turkic prisoners Yang Tian became embarrassed. The soldiers and civilians of Pule County hated these prisoners very much, but they could not kill them, and could not be released. They were escorted back to the rear, and they were even more afraid of these prisoners being rioted. Moreover, there was still 70,000 Turkic army in Pinggao County. If you were not careful, not only would these prisoners be rescued by the Turks, but the escorted people would be destroyed.

Yang Tianyi gritted his teeth and simply used these prisoners as coolies first. Pule County is now in a hurry to lack labor, but there are many projects to be done, the city walls need to be repaired and the people's houses need to be rebuilt. With these coolies, it should alleviate the tension of labor in Pule County. As for these Turks, as long as they are not allowed to die, they will use them hard. As for whether the Turks will redeem them in the future, that is the future.

Chu Luoqi fought desperately, but the Xuanlong army stopped chasing and did not realize anything. It stopped until his war horse could no longer run. There were only more than a thousand people left behind. After waiting for a day, the backward Turks followed one after another and finally collected more than two thousand people. Chu Luoqi did not dare to go south again, but instead returned to the Turkic grassland north, and sent a few messengers to report to Sha Tiluo. He encountered tens of thousands of reinforcements in the Great Zhou under the city of Pule County. After a hard battle, he had to return first.

When Sha Boluo received the news from Chu Luoji, it was already seven or eight days later. When Sha Boluo heard tens of thousands of Zhou soldiers behind him, he was shocked. Although he suspected that Wai Luoji's words were false, only a few messengers could swear that they were besieged by tens of thousands of Zhou troops, Chu Luoji would be defeated.

Sha Boluo was puzzled. Where did the tens of thousands of Zhou troops fly over? He just thought that he could defeat 20,000 Chu Luoqi, and Sha Boluo had to believe it.
