The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans
Chapter 81: Thousands of miles in radius turned into scorched earth
"The Turks are nomadic people. The root of the word is herding. Herding cattle and sheep is what every Turkic tribe does. Sheep are also the bulk of their border trade with the Tang Dynasty all year round. If you want to really weaken the Turks, you have to start from this aspect. Take action."
"It's autumn now and the climate is dry. Your Highness might as well let the soldiers set fire to the grassland and sprinkle coarse salt wherever they go. This will turn all the land into a salt-alkali land and ensure that no grass will grow within ten years. , so that they can no longer graze!”
"In addition to slaughtering all the cattle and sheep that cannot be taken away, people can also dump a large number of corpses at major water sources on the grassland, polluting the water sources everywhere, leaving them with no water to drink, so that winter……"
Jia Xu told the story with great interest. The others, including Li Chengdao, looked at him in shock, but he didn't know it.
At this time, everyone was shocked by Jia Xu.
There is no other reason, just because Jia Xu’s strategy is so terrifying that even the word vicious can be regarded as a compliment. This is simply a desperate strategy!
The Turks were based on nomadism, so it was okay to slaughter all their cattle and sheep. However, burning the land and spreading salt turned the prairie into a saline land. Within ten years, not a single blade of grass could grow. This was a devastating blow to the Turkic tribes. !
Sheep are the most precious resources of the Turks. The wool and sheepskin can be used to make clothes to keep out the cold, the mutton can be eaten, the bones can be made into weapons, and the goat milk can be drank...
Once they are unable to graze, they will lose the precious resource of sheep. So where will the Turks go in the future?
After killing the sheep, burning the grasslands, and polluting the water sources on the grasslands, Li Chengdao was sure that the number of Turks who died this winter would be more than ten times the number of people killed by the White Robes.
And the Turks will be truly weakened because of this poisonous plan!
Jia Xu's strategy truly targets the limitations of the nomads to cause destruction!
"Mr. Jia, your plan is really..."
Yue Fei looked complicated, shook his head and said, as if he was hesitant to speak, and even looked at Jia Xu with a hint of disgust.
He is a benevolent commander with an upright character. He has always practiced military methods and used troops uprightly against the enemy.
Jia Xu's vicious plan really went against his long-standing values and was so vicious that it made him angry.
Only now did he understand that if a counselor wanted to kill people, he would be much more terrifying than warrior generals like them.
"But this plan can really weaken the Turks, can't it? The Turks have always been a trouble for the border and harassed the people of the Tang Dynasty. Why not if we act more viciously? Isn't it good to get rid of it once and for all?"
Jia Xu looked directly at Yue Fei and said calmly, without the slightest hint of shame.
Yue Fei shook his head and said nothing. He just turned his attention to Li Chengdao, hoping that Li Chengdao would stop Jia Xu from doing this.
Jia Xu also looked at Li Chengdao, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
"This……"
Feeling the gazes of the two people, Li Chengdao smiled bitterly.
To be honest, he also felt that Jia Xu's plan was too cruel, so cruel that it would harm Tianhe, because even many Turkic civilians would suffer from it.
But then again, this plan really made him very excited.
After pondering for a long time, Li Chengdao finally made a decision in his heart. He raised his head and looked at Yue Fei and said in a deep voice: "General Yue, the Turks have been a major problem for me in the Central Plains for hundreds of years. I want to completely weaken them so that they can no longer threaten me." The Han Dynasty in the Central Plains.”
"For this reason, I will not hesitate to bear some infamy. Do you...understand?"
The so-called kindness does not control the army. The conflict between the Turks and the Han people is between ethnic groups. Now that he has such an opportunity in front of him, Li Chengdao is unwilling to give up.
After hearing Li Chengdao's words, Jia Xu suddenly smiled, while Yue Fei sighed deeply, cupped his hands and said, "I will eventually understand."
"Ah."
Li Chengdao glanced at Yue Fei and felt helpless.
Yue Fei's integrity or pedantic character is innate. If not for this, in history, he would not have given up an easy victory because of the twelve golden orders, and finally died in prison with regret.
But this character is also his brightest shining point.
"Okay, I will leave this plan to Wen He and you to implement it. I will give you full authority to preside over this matter. The white robe army will be mobilized at your disposal."
Li Chengdao put away the messy thoughts in his heart, and then said to Jia Xu.
Jia Xu's face showed joy, he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I will live up to His Highness's trust!"
……
After Li Chengdao approved Jia Xu's strategy, Jia Xu began to get busy.
Although the Turkic army has left Jingzhou, it will take at least ten days to rush back to the royal court, so there is enough time for him to implement this strategy.
Li Chengdao ordered the army to evacuate the Turkic royal court, and at the same time cooperated with Jia Xu to set fire to the grasslands.
It is autumn now, the climate on the grassland is dry and the grass is withered and yellow, so it is easy to burn down a large area of the city just by setting a fire.
After burning it, Li Chengdao also ordered people to sprinkle coarse salt on every grassland he passed.
Fine salt was a very precious thing in this era, but coarse salt was easy to make and not precious.
In addition to these, Li Chengdao also had all the cattle and sheep that could not be taken away from the royal court be slaughtered, and then thrown into various water sources together with the corpses of the Turkic warriors, tied with stones and sunk to the bottom, completely polluting the entire water source.
After doing all this, Li Chengdao led his army to leave the Turkic Royal Court, leaving only the messy Turkic Royal Court and the devastated prairie that turned into scorched earth...
Everyone knows that the Turks are really going to end this time.
……
A few days after Li Chengdao led his army to evacuate, Jieli Khan rushed back to the Turkic royal court with more than 200,000 remaining troops.
But where are Li Chengdao and the white-robed army in the Turkic royal court? There are only fireworks soaring into the sky, corpses of Turkic warriors everywhere, and the grassland turned into scorched earth!
"Li Chengdao ahhhhh!!"
Seeing this scene in front of him, Jieli Khan felt furious, and then his face suddenly turned a sickly flush, and then he spurted out a mouthful of blood!
Then he rolled his eyes and fell down.
"Khan! Khan!"
"Someone come quickly! Khan has fainted!"
