After the battle in Yikunzhou, Yelu Abaoji was defeated and the Khitan army surrendered, which meant that the Khitan Kingdom had been destroyed. Li Ye had to take over the land of the Khitan and station troops in the city built by Yelu Abaoji, and actually controlled this area.

Otherwise, the land of the Khitan would sooner or later be divided by other tribes, and many more powerful forces would be added on the grassland, becoming a hidden danger for the Tang Dynasty to rule the grassland.

When he went north from Yikunzhou, Li Ye only brought the three armies of Wolf Fang, Tiger Guard, and Cavenger.

It is not suitable to bring all the northern border troops to the grassland for a long journey. The Tiger Guard was one of the earliest Chang'an imperial guards to form an army. It was elite and strong, and the cavalry was a pure cavalry team, which was suitable for walking on the grassland and stationing for a long time.

Li Ye's destination is naturally the West Tower - the former capital of the Khitan Kingdom.

"Speaking of this, I also want to thank Yelu Abaoji.

"There were no cities on the grassland, but he built many strong cities and villages; there were no academic ideas on the grassland, but he built the Confucius Temple, learned and promoted the Han and Tang cultures; there was no national system on the grassland, but he made the Khitans know what the national system is for the first time."

Riding on the horse, Li Ye looked at the vast grassland.

He said to King Qi beside him, "With these foundations laid by Yelu Abaoji, it will be much easier for us to establish our rule on the territory of the Khitan. Otherwise, it would take a lot of effort and time to educate a group of barbarians from the beginning and turn them into nationally conscious citizens."

King Qi looked back.

In the dragon-like team, there is the coffin of Yelu Abaoji. Yelu Dilugu, Yelu Dilie and other former Khitan officials are now gathered around the coffin, which is quite painful to walk with the coffin.

She said: "What you mean, do you want to transform the Khitans first, set an example for the grassland, and establish a certain foundation at the same time. Then take them outwards and influence and transform the entire grassland?"

"You are getting smarter and smarter." Li Ye laughed loudly and praised him without hesitation.

King Qi curled his lips and snorted coldly, indicating that he was extremely smart.

Li Ye did not hide it and told King Qi that his plans were all in his heart: "Developing the commercial sale of cattle, sheep and their vassals is only to solve the grassland problem from the economic perspective. The economy is the foundation, but not the whole. The rule of a country over a region is not enough to allow the people here to eat and wear and wear.

"We also have to control their thoughts and give them the idea of ​​a country; we also have an army to intimidate local heroes; we should also have a perfect system to ensure that everyone lives and works in peace and contentment; we should also have an advancement level and be able to display their talents to serve the country. This is a comprehensive national policy. We need to work hard and spend countless efforts."

King Qi listened carefully, and when Li Ye finished saying this, she was already irritated: "According to what you said, aren't you going to be exhausted? It's so difficult to rule the grassland?"

At this moment, she suddenly understood why she still did not have the ability to wrestle the arm of Li Ye in front after occupying Guanzhong.

In terms of governance and control of the territory, the two people's thoughts and means are far behind many levels. Her original failure was inevitable.

King Qi also realized how wise she was to surrender at that time.

Li Ye smiled, "It's not like being exhausted, but being tired is bound to be exhausted.

"The Central Plains Dynasty has never truly ruled the grassland. If we want to establish an unprecedented situation, it naturally requires many people to sacrifice their lives, shed their blood, and fight on the battlefield; but it also requires countless talented people, who have worked hard for years or even decades or hundreds of years, to devote their lives to this great cause and change them bit by bit."

Hearing this, King Qi patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

She said: "The Tang Dynasty did not lack aspiring people or talents. You finally don't have to be exhausted."

Li Ye deeply agreed and sighed: "Only a country like the Tang Dynasty can seek such achievements for thousands of years."

When we arrived at the west building, there were already people who had already set up a formation to welcome the most honorable guests, which was the greatest etiquette to welcome the most honorable guests on the grassland.

The people who welcomed Li Ye naturally captured the Yellow Head and the Tatar tribes in the West Tower.

The two chiefs were very respectful to him.

It is now autumn, and the traditional time for sheep and horses to be strong. However, the west building that Li Ye saw was in chaos and dilapidation.

There are no shepherds singing here. Not only are there few cattle and sheep, but they are mostly thin and thin. No matter how you look, they don’t seem to be able to survive the cold winter. If there is continuous heavy snow this winter, there will definitely be many fewer people on the grassland next year, but I’m afraid there will be no fewer than those who die in battle.

Li Ye saw more than these.

The Khitans in Xilou and its nearby areas, both men, women, and young, became yellow-headed slaves. They were ragged, pale and thin, and had a face full of grief and despair. They were either driven to work by the soldiers of the two departments, or were whipped, teased, and enjoyed.

There is no free Khitan in the West Building.

The West Building, which was once glorious not long ago, has now become a purgatory and ruins.

The Khitans, who were strong and proud a few months ago, have now become prisoners. They can no longer rush to whip and show off their power on the grassland. The failure of the country has caused them to lose everything, and even the most basic dignity and rights of being a human being no longer there.

Now, they are just the items, property of the winner.

They need to bear the rage of the winner and accept the superiority of the winner until they die, until the name Khitan disappears into the grassland and is not in the long river of history.

The tribes on the grassland flourished and destroyed very quickly. Many powerful tribes that have been famous in history have never seen any trace after a long time. The reason for this is the scene in front of you.

Li Ye's eyes sank.

He remembered that the order he issued was very clear. Huangtou and Tatar troops withdrew from Xilou City, and the Tang army could only do the matter of surrender. In other words, only the Tang Dynasty had the power to deal with the Khitan.

And now, his orders were not followed.

How can this make him happy?

However, the Huangtou and the chiefs of the Tatar tribes who came out to welcome each other were both flattering and respectful. Li Ye did not embarrass them in public before they met.

Yelu Dilugu and others in the team saw that their relatives and friends were all in this way, and they were both heartbroken and angry. As grassland people, they knew very well what the consequences and costs of failure were.

The soldiers were defeated, the whole family was in trouble, the chief was defeated, and the whole family was in trouble, this was the rule of grassland that had always changed.

They wanted to rush out and take off their heads and take off their heads from the Yellow Head and the Tatar tribe who were abused by the Khitans one by one.

They have this strength.

But they didn't do that because they didn't get Li Ye's permission. After spending so long with Li Ye, they knew very well how strict Li Ye's military governance was.

In Yikunzhou, several chiefs were not convinced by the military merits of the Tang army envoys and fought against each other because they robbed the spoils. As a result, Li Ye killed all the participants, and the two tribes were even destroyed.

At that time, Li Ye didn't say a word, didn't even have a warning, and directly enforced the military law.

The military law of the Tang army.

Therefore, even if Yelu di Lugu and Xiao Hendu were so sad and angry that they could not make trouble in front of Li Ye, they knew very well that if they did that, they would only bring disaster to themselves.

They could only secretly swallow the humiliation, thinking that when the banquet ended, could they plead with Li Ye and release some of the Khitans, even if they were only tens of thousands or tens of thousands.

As losers and losers, they dare not ask for more.

The banquet was very lively. Li Ye was at the main seat, with the yellow head and Tatar chiefs accompanying him. The dance on the grassland was very distinctive. They were cheering cups in the tent, and the two soldiers outside the tent were preparing for the grander bonfire party in the evening.

Everything was peaceful, and the warriors in both movies were very happy.

Li Ye's smile looked very gentle, making people feel like spring breeze. He seemed to have forgotten that there were also those Khitan children outside the camp who were bullied. Or those people had nothing to do with him.

This made Huangtou and Tatar chiefs secretly happy.

At the beginning of Li Ye's entry, they contributed a lot of precious property and promised to reward the soldiers of the Tang army with many cattle and sheep. The purpose of this was naturally to make Li Ye stop mentioning the military order and to abide by their occupation of the Khitan.

"King An is indeed kind and kind. As long as we act more respectfully and let him see our surrender, he will not care about our disobedience to the military order."

"This is how the emperors of the Tang Dynasty are. As long as you act humble and let everyone in the world know that they are the most noble existence in the world, they will be particularly generous. The Khitan slaves and wealth in the West Building are really beyond our imagination. With these, we can become stronger quickly. At that time, will it not be your or I have the final say on the grassland?"

Huangtou, the chief of the Tatar tribe whispered in a low voice while eating and drinking.

After reaching a consensus, the chief of the Yellow Head stood up and saluted Li Ye, appearing more humble: "Your Highness, because of your great talent and strategy, the Yellow Head and Tatars who have been oppressed by the Khitan can have today when they move from night to dawn. Our gratitude and love for you are beyond words. Now I will present you the most precious gift on the grassland. I hope you can know how deep we respect you!"

He speaks Chinese fluently, and this ability is rare in today's grassland except for the Khitans.

A young and beautiful woman dressed up was taken into a tent.

Although she was dressed in her body and looked like a fairy, her eyes were empty, as if she had lost her soul.

But even so, she is still extremely beautiful.

This is true beauty. No matter what state it is, it has corresponding beauty and can give people different levels of sensory enjoyment.

With Li Ye's countless people, he also secretly praised in his heart.

But the smile on his face disappeared when the other party entered the bill.

The yellow-headed chief thought Li Ye was just surprised and did not notice his true emotions. He looked like he wanted to give me credit and reward, "Your Highness An, do you know who this beautiful woman is like the moon?"

Li Ye didn't say anything.

The chief of the Tatar tribe thought that Li Ye had been deceived by beauty, and stood up with a smile, with a somewhat show-off: "The most beautiful woman on the grassland was once pursued by countless warriors, but now, only His Highness An can enjoy it. Her name is Yueliduo..."

Li Ye suddenly raised his hand.

He made a throat cut.
