Chapter 17 Getting Rich

The confused victory made Chen Ying a little confused. If the Turks hadn't mistakenly believed that the Tang army could have magic, Chen Ying wouldn't have conquered the Thin Bone Rucheng City. He easily captured the Thin Bone Rucheng City, but when Chen Ying entered the Thin Bone Rucheng City, his whole mood suddenly became bad.

But the Turks who occupied Nestle were wasting this military town.

Bogulu City was originally a military town built during the Northern Wei Dynasty. As a military town, wells, granaries, armaments, ordnances, stables, barracks and training grounds, all facilities are available. However, time has passed and most of them are dilapidated. Most of the houses have no roofs, and some walls have cracks that are larger than fists.

If the big military towns were filled with all kinds of tents on the streets, and those roofless frames were unified into sheep pens and stables. Turks, who had no sense of urban life, made the entire Thin Bone Rule City a mess.

What made Chen Ying even more angry was that everyone in the Turks or animals were urinating and defecating everywhere, causing the city to be full of feces from humans or animals. Fortunately, this is the twelfth month of winter, otherwise the whole city would probably not be able to live in people, and the smell of shit could make people faint.

Seeing Chen Ying's face suddenly darkened, Yu Guni raised his heart to his throat. He was really afraid that Chen Ying would be in a bad mood and cast a spell to kill them all.

"You know what the biggest difference between people and people?"

Yu Guni did not speak Tang Yan, and looked at Chen Ying in confusion. Chen Ying also knew how to speak Turkic, but Du Shanguo, a member of the army, could speak Turkic. Without a full-time lingering person (translation), Du Shanguo acted as a translator.

Yu Guni finally understood Chen Ying's words, a hint of confusion appeared on his face, and he shook his head repeatedly. Suddenly, Yu Guni's face turned pale. He thought Chen Ying was dissatisfied with their cruelty and easy to kill, so he hurriedly explained to Chen Ying.

Du Shanguo explained: "He said that General Chen, the villain did not kill the Tang people. We Shibi Khan repeatedly ordered the army to not start the war easily without authorization. Since we headed south, we have not attacked any Tang city!"

Chen Ying's face turned cold: "Damn it, in front of me, you dare to fool me. Are you guilty?"

thump.

Yu Guni immediately knelt on the ground. By chance, the place where Yu Guni kneeled was a piece of shit. "The general clearly observed that every word of the villain was true, and there was no false statement!"

Chen Ying was confused at this time: "Did the Turks just help and shout and did not participate in direct combat?"

"It should be so!" Gao Yunquan said: "If the Turks participated in the attack, then Lingzhou City would have been unable to defend it for a long time."

Chen Ying really didn't understand why Li Jiancheng told him when he left that he would try not to fight against the Turks without fighting against the Turks. Now it seems that the same is true for the Turks. Both sides have always been very restrained?

Chen Ying asked Du Shanguo to ask other surrendered soldiers repeatedly and finally came up with a truth that made him feel inexplicably strange. Since September, the Liang army has been dominating the battle in Lingzhou. The Turks did not attack directly at all. At most, they provided symbolic help in materials. However, the Turks were poorer than the Liang army, and at most they provided help in war horses. Moreover, this help was not free, but was exchanged for real money and silver.

Now Chen Ying is even more confused about what allies Liang Shidu and the Turks were, and why Shibi Khan did not allow the Turks to attack the Tang Dynasty?

Chen Ying thought for a long time but couldn't figure out the problem. He had to wait until he returned to Chang'an in the future and ask Li Jiancheng what was going on.

However, Chen Ying really didn't want to live in a city full of shit and urine, so he ordered: "Yu Guni, I will tell you that the biggest difference between humans and animals is that people know shame and etiquette, but animals don't know how to do it. Only animals can urinate and defecate anywhere, and people don't know how to do it!"

Although Chen Ying even cursed all the Turks, some Turks were also selective when they heard this.

"The villain lets people clean the whole city!"

"The son is teachable!"

The Turks began to get busy. Men, women, young and old all went into battle to clean up the feces, urine and animal feces in the city. Anyway, this was not a short time.

Chen Ying was sure that the Turks did not dare to resist, so he ordered hundreds of civilians to take a hand stove to monitor and guide them to clean up the city. The surrendered Turks were uneasy. Although they were only some civilians who did not even have weapons around them, no one dared to act rashly. These civilians were carrying a hand stove and watching over more than 13,000 Turks surrendered military and civilians. This sounded like a funny joke, but the fact was so.

Although the civil servants only had a hand stove, in the eyes of the Turks, those civil servants were all wizards of the Tang army, and the things in their hands were their magic weapons.

Having hundreds of civilians hold hand stoves to monitor Turkic prisoners made the generals feel extremely incredible.

Chen Ying told everyone confidently: "As long as people compromise once, they will form a habit. Even if they know that the civilians only have no lethal hand stove in their hands, they will pretend not to know!"

Wei Wenzhong said: "This is impossible!"

"Do you want to make a bet?"

Wei Wenzhong was about to make a bet when he saw Gao Yunquan shook his head at him repeatedly. Wei Wenzhong said, "What's going on?"

Gao Yunquan said: "The military law of the Turks is particularly perverted. As long as they surrender, they either kill or become slaves. Don't worry, these Turks have no way out!"

As Chen Ying expected, these Turks were very honest. Under the guidance of the civilians, some began to clean up the streets, put on the shelves that had no roofs, and began to urgently repair the Thin Bone Rucheng.

After just half an hour, Thunderbolt Lucheng changed drastically. Not only did the feces on the street disappear, but Chen Ying's method was actually very simple. Those roofs that had cracked out of large gaps were stuffed into the gap with hot water and mud. When the cold wind blew, they were connected with the original wall. The roof was easier to handle. Turkic tent cloth was used as the roof, but in short, it was much warmer than the tent.

In Bogulu City, the big tent originally set up by Shiliver has become Chen Ying's central army tent. More than a dozen candles lit, illuminating the entire hall as if it were daylight. Chen Ying beautifully drank a glass of horse milk wine brewed by the Turks.

When Sima Lu Decao handed Chen Ying the seized list of materials, Chen Ying saw the numbers on the list and his eyes suddenly turned straight: "Is that right?"

Lu Decao said: "The official has already calculated it, absolutely not wrong!"

The list reads: More than 11,000 scimitars, more than 2,500 spears, light cavalry bows, more than 10,000 bows and arrows, three thousand faces of shields, and more than 27,300 bags of feather arrows. More than 850 pairs of fine steel scale armor, more than 1,300 pairs of light mountain-patterned armor, and more than 7,000 pairs of leather armor.

Although there are a lot of these materials, compared with the more than 20,000 troops set up by Shi Liver, this weapon is nothing, but Chen Ying seems to have enough.

Of course, apart from these weapons and armor, the most important materials are sheepskin, cowhide, cow tendon and other materials. These sheepskin and cowhide are tens of thousands, and more than 10,000 skinny war horses and more than 4,000 horses have been seized.

This allowed Chen Ying, an almost pure infantry unit, to be transformed into a horse-riding infantry in an instant.
