"Pogita Anda, seeing this guy trying to run, a general immediately shouted, and the surrounding troops quickly ran up. This was no small matter in the military camp. Many surrounding Tuyuhun soldiers also ran out, and the Tang officers among them also picked up their weapons."
Sima Jun also saw it very clearly. After all, the Tuyuhun military camp was not very big. After experiencing this incident, even if the traitor was eliminated, there would still be resentment between the two armies.
Although the relationship between the two armies could not be said to be very close, it developed very quickly. After experiencing this incident, many Tuyuhun people were worried. There had never been a traitor before, but the first traitor appeared in their military camp. Would the Tang army still be able to trust us in the future?
If you don't trust us, then all our efforts now will probably be in vain. In fact, this idea is not only held by ordinary soldiers, but also by the generals who are arresting people. They are also beginning to feel uneasy. We don't know how much hardship we have endured to fight from the Tuyuhun grassland to the Black Sea coast, but we didn't expect that it would be ruined by a guy like you.
"I won't let you catch me. Since you want to frame me, I'll just admit it. But I'm innocent."
This guy is also a master of acting. After seeing that he couldn't run away, he directly put the knife across his neck and said loudly what he had just said. Unfortunately, before he could cut his neck, a bullet had already penetrated his arm. It was not so easy to die.
Hu Sanshi's men had been keeping an eye on this place for a long time. If this guy left these words and died like this, what would the surrounding Tuyuhun soldiers think? What would the Tang Dynasty officers among them think? This matter couldn't be left unsolved. It had to be made public. Only then could the rift between the two sides be resolved...
This guy never thought that if he died, this matter would become an unsolved case. No matter what impact it would have in the future, it would have hurt the Tang Dynasty and it could be regarded as revenge for the elders in his family. But he didn't expect that at the last moment, his arm would be broken.
"You are truly cruel. Thousands of us brothers have fought our way here from the Tuyuhun grasslands just to give us and our families a better life. But you, for your own selfish reasons, have made all our efforts go to waste. Even if I really kill you now, I'm afraid it won't be enough to make up for the loss of our brothers."
A Tuyuhun general said helplessly, and the faces of the people around him were also angry. They knew that after this incident, they could no longer be trusted by the Tang Dynasty court. Although they were the first to surrender to the Tang Dynasty court, this sentence was bound to change the future of many people.
Now is no longer the time before. If it were in the past, the Tang Dynasty court did not have so many vassal armies, the Tuyuhun army would still be very useful. But look at the places occupied by the Tang army now, there are really more and more of them. Even the army of the Arab Empire has joined the Tang camp. Although you are the first group to surrender, if you don’t work hard and there are traitors, you will be eliminated by the Tang army sooner or later.
This is the situation now. No matter what you think in your heart, what you are doing is a foregone conclusion. After seeing this scene, Sima Jun immediately frowned. Although he knew that saying some polite words would be of no use, he still had to say what he had to say.
"Everyone, listen carefully. One person's actions have nothing to do with the rest of you. Look at the Tang Dynasty officer next to you. He has been fighting alongside you for a long time. You are your closest friends on the battlefield. The reason I can find this person so accurately is because they have recorded everything you do. I know you want to pursue a better life. Then follow your previous beliefs and serve the Tang Dynasty court. The court will not treat anyone unfairly. On the contrary, people like this, including their entire families, will not survive."
Sima Jun stood on the high platform. Although his voice was not loud, it was heard by the thousands of Tuyuhun soldiers around him. Many people's hearts were in their throats, but after hearing these words, some of them felt relieved.
Of course, there are also some who think more deeply. They think this matter is probably not that simple. Can you just let it go? You are just the commander-in-chief of our army, with only a few tens of thousands of troops under your command. This matter will definitely be reported to Chang'an, and everyone in the court will discuss it. What will happen in the end is completely beyond your control.
"Long live the Tang Dynasty."
Several Tuyuhun generals also received Sima Jun's gaze and immediately began to shout slogans to the entire army. Although the voice was very loud, any discerning person could see that many people were shouting together because they were afraid of being punished. Looking at the look in their eyes, they were still very scared.
This is also a very normal thing. When something like this happens, the imperial court will definitely introduce various policies and may restrict them more tightly in the future. After they have finally distributed the gunpowder, they may even take it back directly. If this is the case, the casualties on the battlefield will be even greater.
The last time they fought against the Arab Empire's cavalry, their casualty rate was very high. Out of a hundred men, only eighty would return, and twenty of them would lose their heads on the battlefield.
But with the gunpowder, the situation was completely different. Only three or four people out of a hundred died, and the rest were able to return alive. They also knew that to distribute gunpowder, the army must be one that the Tang army could absolutely trust. Their army was an absolutely trustworthy army.
But because of this damn traitor, whether the Tang Dynasty court can continue to trust them is probably an unknown. At least in the eyes of these people today, their gunpowder may be collected. Once it is collected, everyone will face high casualties. Our families are still looking forward to our return. Without this gunpowder, will we have to go back to that kind of ancient war?
