Chapter 102 Another state(2/2)

These Qinzhou soldiers and horses also lost their fear of the Xixia soldiers.

In the future, when fighting with Xixia soldiers, they can be said to be elite.

The effects of training soldiers and generals are quite obvious.

"When you're on the battlefield, I still ask the deputy capital to take charge of you on the battlefield. I just want to do my part."

Of course, Deputy Governor Xiang did not want Sheng Changbai to come to the battle in person, and he must be worried about the distribution of credit.

These northwest generals must have the desire to fight against Xixia.

But it is inevitable that they all have their own little calculations, for merit and profit.

Only by satisfying the selfish desires of these people can we devote ourselves to conquering Xixia.

Sheng Changbai simply explained that he would not compete with Xiang Deputy Governor for the credit.

Sheng Changbai had no interest in the nobles of the Zhou Dynasty.

Like Sheng Hong, he still wants the Sheng family to follow the path of inheriting poetry and calligraphy.

He has no intention of squeezing his family into the Xungui Group.

You can have military merit, but it’s not a big problem if you don’t have it.

Of course, one can pursue the title of marquis and prime minister, but it is enough for Sheng Changbai himself to have a false title.

In terms of the national conditions of the Zhou Dynasty, as long as the prime minister does a good job in his position.

The imperial court was never stingy about granting a title, let alone a marquis, or a duke, and the old Zhao family was not stingy either.

In terms of honor, Lao Zhao's family is quite generous. There are also prime ministers and assistants who were named kings after their death.

"Chase, don't let any of the Western thieves go."

"Kill the West Dog in exchange for a bounty."

When the two armies fought against each other and set up their battle formations, the Zhou army mainly relied on the Han army.

Even if some of the mercenaries participated, they had been trained by the Great Zhou Dynasty. They had already entered the mercenary establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty and were able to form battle formations proficiently.

These temporary soldiers gathered from various tribes have not been systematically trained and are of little use at this time.

But when the Xixia army was defeated and the lost dogs were beaten, it was time for the extra troops to gain the upper hand.

They are also a nation that grew up on horseback, and the riding skills of the Fan soldiers are not inferior to those of the Xixia soldiers.

Robbery can be said to be instinctive for nomads.

Facing party soldiers who are focused on escaping and not interested in fighting, these soldiers can also gain an advantage in combat power.

It is still worthwhile to use supplies and these soldiers to buy the heads of party members.

At the peak of the Xixia period, there were only half a million soldiers and horses, even if one person had a hundred heads.

Even though Dazhou was frugal, he could still afford this amount of money.

It's just that the Zhou Dynasty usually doesn't come across such a good thing. You can buy the heads of Xixia soldiers with money.

This pursuit lasted for ten days, and by the time these soldiers were driven back to Huizhou.

In addition to the administrative office of Huizhou, and the fortresses except Dingxi City, the war was over only when the Zhou Dynasty captured them.

After such a break, Sheng Changbai returned to the border of Qinzhou.

Except for an isolated city like Dingxicheng, Qinzhou, Huizhou, and Lanzhou have been connected together.

As for this isolated city, just surround it first.

With tens of thousands of soldiers and horses eating Majue, no city in this era can sustain it.

Then Sheng Changbai repeated the previous operation and conquered all the tribes in Huizhou.

Relying on an army of 200,000 to persuade them to surrender, it can be said that there are no consequences.

These tribes are now surrounded by the Great Zhou Dynasty. In fact, they have no way out and can only rely on the Great Zhou Dynasty.

There is no Lanzhou fan with such good treatment.

These tribes that were attached to the Zhou Dynasty could not all be treated the same way.

It is still necessary to distinguish the levels. Only by getting close to Dazhou can you get more benefits.

These special talents will have the motivation to work hard for the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Commander Sheng, can you report your merits to the court?" Deputy Du Guan Shang urged excitedly.

Not to mention that Sheng Changbai is the commander-in-chief of this army, not to mention that there are people in Sheng Changbai's court, his father-in-law is the deputy prime minister, and his father is also a high-ranking official. Even if Sheng Changbai has the right to talk directly with the emperor, it is appropriate for Sheng Changbai to report his merits.

"This matter is not urgent. After I have taken care of these foreign countries, I will ask the imperial court for credit together."

It is quite cumbersome to deal with these countries.

Since it is attached to Da Zhou, Da Zhou will definitely give him a reward.

Only when these foreign states accepted the rewards of the Great Zhou Dynasty did they submit to the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

People like these in Huizhou are passively dependent, and the actual material rewards will definitely not be very large.

But no matter how small it is, it still needs to be rewarded. Even for a tribe with thousands of people, the chief of the tribe should also have an official position in the Zhou Dynasty.

The basis for the emperor's reward was mainly based on Sheng Changbai's statistical data.

"And this battle is not over yet. Even if I go to the imperial court to ask for merit now, the imperial court's rewards will not come out so quickly." Sheng Changbai continued.

Some time ago, Sheng Changbai captured Jincheng and asked the court for merit.

The imperial court quickly approved the merits of the soldiers below.

But Sheng Changbai and Deputy Xiang are in charge, the two chief officers of this army.

The reward was not awarded directly, but Sheng Changbai knew that his achievements in expanding the territory this time were not easy to reward.

The territory of a state is actually not big, and the rewards given are too light.

It does not show that the imperial court attaches great importance to the opening of the northwest border for the first time in decades.

If the reward is too heavy, the standard will be set high.

If the Qinzhou Army could successfully capture Hehuang, or even Gu Tingye might have captured Hengshan, his contribution would be too great, and it would be difficult to award him a reward after the standards were set high.

Even if the attacks of both armies do not go smoothly.

Sheng Changbai's contribution to the expansion of the country should be given a high status, which would serve as a cover-up.
