After Shangguan Yi gave his suggestion to Du Qi, he looked at the stunned Tongyehu and said, "Tongyehu, you can't decide your own life and death. However, you have a chance to choose more people to accompany you.
"Of the thirty thousand elites that came with you, there are still twenty thousand left. Most of them are tribe leaders and generals. These people are similar to you. They are all evil, robbing, robbing, and committing all kinds of crimes.
"It's hard for us to choose these people one by one. Now, you can identify these people and let them enjoy it with you. This is the choice I'm giving you. "
Shangguan Yi's words were said lightly.
Tongyehu's face twitched when he heard this. He looked at Shangguan Yi with horror in his eyes. What a perverted Shangguan Yi. This was too ruthless. He wanted to get rid of all the generals of the Turks in one fell swoop.
Du Qi smiled.
Shangguan Yi's arrangement was interesting. If Tongyehu was hung at the city gate alone, it would be a little weak. It would be hard for the people to accept it and let them vent their anger.
However, if they were to drag out the various Turkic tribe chiefs and tie them up outside the city like Tongyehu, the citizens would be able to vent their frustrations on them.
Those who were not of the same race would have different intentions.
Du Qi did not have a saint's heart toward the Turks. One must know that the Turks had wantonly plundered the city after entering it. They had wantonly snatched women and caused countless injuries.
They were all people who deserved to be killed.
Shangguan Yi looked at the silent Tongyehu and continued, "Tongyehu, would you rather die alone or have more people accompany you? It's up to you. Now, I'm giving you a chance. If you don't choose, you will have to bear it alone. If you identify these people, more people will accompany you to enjoy it. "
"I'll identify them!"
A cold light flashed in Tongyehu's eyes as he immediately spoke.
He felt indignant in his heart.
He had nothing to lose.
Why should I bear all the blame alone? I'm about to die, so why should I protect the others? Everyone from the other tribes should share the burden with me, so Tong Yehu agreed with Shangguan Yi's words.
Shangguan Yi smiled and said, "I knew it. You, Tongyehu, have never been a good person. Since you're about to die, you'll definitely drag more people down to hell with you. It's true. "
After pausing for a moment, Shangguan Yi waved his hand and called for a soldier to carry Tongyehu away. He had the Turkic tribal chiefs, commanders, and other Turkic officers present.
Du Qi said with a smile, "Mr. Shangguan's arrangement can be called a stroke of genius. In this way, whether it was the tribal chiefs of the Turkic Khaganate or those that Tongyehu disliked, they would all be dragged out. These people were definitely important figures of the Turks. That's because ordinary people can't enter the eyes of the Tongyehu. "
Shangguan Yi said, "Your Majesty is wise. My consideration is that one person is not enough for the people to vent their anger. Only with more Turks can the people vent their anger. Your Majesty came to the Gu Mo Kingdom to conquer the Gu Mo Kingdom and make all the people submit to you. "
"If we just killed Tongyehu, although there would be a certain effect, the effect would be minimal."
"The people might not be very grateful."
"After all, to the Gu Mo Kingdom, we're considered invaders. Even if we killed Tongyehu, the people's recognition wouldn't be enough. However, if we let the people vent their anger, it would be different. "
Shangguan Yee continued, "Furthermore, if the Turkic generals and patriarchs are brought out, the commoners will not hold the ordinary Turkic soldiers accountable after venting their anger. These Turkic soldiers can be used for their own purposes."
Xue Rengui, who was beside Du Qi, said, "Mr. Shangguan, I think that the Turkic soldiers are different from the soldiers of the Western Regions. These Turkic soldiers can't be truly trusted, and they don't have a sense of belonging to us. If we want to take in these people, there will be a certain danger. Especially on the battlefield, if the Turkic soldiers betray us at a crucial moment, it will have a great impact on us. "
At this point, Xue Rengui expressed his opinion, "Therefore, I don't agree with taking in all the Turkic soldiers."
Shangguan Yi said, "General Xue, your considerations are reasonable. However, the specifics will depend on your Majesty's decision. "
Du Qi thought for a while, then said, "The Turkic people can't be trusted, because they only fear strength and don't care about morality. If you're strong, they'll listen to you. If you're weak, they'll turn on you. "
"Such a group of people can't charge into the army. However, their existence has a great use. They can all be used as slaves to open mines, build roads, build bridges, and so on. If there's a need for people, these Turkic captives can be used. "
Du Qi said, "This is my arrangement."
Shangguan Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he praised sincerely, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Xue Rengui also said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
The two of them had no objections to Du Qi's decision, because Du Qi had too many things to do in the Xia of Xia, such as opening mines, building roads, and all kinds of fortifications. The arrangement used for all these projects was very simple, which was to use money to recruit people to work. Let the people earn money, and at the same time, they could push forward the progress of the fortifications.
Now that there were many slaves, there were many places that could be used. Speaking of which, there were more than twenty thousand Turkic captives here. It seemed like a lot, but in reality, if they were to be used elsewhere, these slaves would be a drop in the bucket. The number of Turkic slaves that could be allocated to a place was too limited.
Tongyehu went to look for people. About an hour later, the soldiers escorted Tongyehu back.
Apart from him, there were a total of forty-five people who were brought over.
They were all Turkic generals and tribal chiefs. These people had originally followed the army and had already submitted to Du Qi. They were not Turkic Khans. As Khans, Tongyehu was captured and could not decide whether he lived or died. The problem was that these people were only accomplices, so their situation should not be so miserable. However, it was different now, they were singled out.
When these generals and tribal chiefs saw Du Qi, they all knelt down and begged for mercy from Du Qi. They shouted that they were willing to serve Du Qi, and hoped that Du Qi would spare them.
Du Qi did not say much. He looked at Tongyehu and ordered, "Tongyehu, for the forty-five people that were brought over, explain the situation of each of them. I will have someone record it."
"Yes!"
Tongyehu answered immediately.
He had a flattering look on his face and said, "Emperor Xia, can I live? I am willing to do anything, I am willing to do anything. Just like now, I will do whatever you ask me to do. I am willing to be Emperor Xia's dog. "
Tongyehu was pitiful.
In order to live, he was willing to do anything. He did not know what dignity was.
Du Qi sneered, "If you can survive the scolding and cursing of the people, I can consider sparing you once. However, this will be difficult. Everything depends on the will of the heavens. "
Tongyehu's face twitched and his emotions collapsed.
Depend on the will of the heavens.
The people wanted him dead, how could they let him live? Although Tongyehu was angry, he could not control his own life and death. He stopped talking for the time being and followed Du Qi's instructions to introduce the situation of each of them for the records.
Shangguan Yi was surprised and asked, "My king, what do you mean by recording the situation of each of them?"
Du Qi said, "The people hate the Turks, but they need to know the situation. These Turks are full of evil and their hands are stained with blood. By letting Tongyehu explain the situation of each of them, it will help the people vent their anger and let them know the situation. Let them know that we are not just using a few ordinary Turks to fool them. "
Shangguan Yi said seriously, "My king is wise."
Shangguan Yee was full of admiration for Du Qi's arrangement. This was also where the details of the school were tested.
