Seeing a group of Mo swordsmen who still refused to promise to forgive their opponents, Shi Huaiyi was so anxious outside the White Bone Deer Village that he wished he could raise his hand to give Wang Xun a crossbow, "They, they are already yours! Stop cutting them, kill one of them." ,missing one!"
"Mine?" Wang Xun glanced at him blankly, still as if he was immersed in some nightmare.
"Yes, yours, yours! It's all yours!" Shi Huaiyi jumped off his mount and rushed in shouting, "You tell them to go east, but they don't dare to go west. Including this guy in a mink robe. Guy, he is a tribal Aijin, you can hold him hostage and ask for ransom from his tribe. Or you can use him as a hostage and force the entire tribe to be loyal to you!"
"Oh?" Wang Xun's eyes finally became alert again, he smiled, and reached out to lift his mask. This is the Western Region, a place where the strong are respected. The losers go away naked, but the winners have everything. This is The rules of the wolf pack. Tribal warriors don't care about changing who they follow. As long as you are strong, you can swear allegiance to you even if you are the enemy who killed your father.
Today, he won. He killed two people who seemed to be of high status, and frightened the other one. Therefore, he naturally owned everything that once belonged to the other party. But what did he want these tribal warriors to do? As the Tang Dynasty, If the officer stays in Anxi, Fourth Uncle Feng will naturally assign subordinates to him. He has hundreds of private soldiers behind him. Not to mention whether he is in compliance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty or not, just feeding these mouths can make him bankrupt.
"They all belong to you from now on! Their wives, children, cattle and sheep are also yours!" After a lot of effort to squeeze in front of Wang Xun, Shi Huaiyi continued to explain to him. Finally it was Wang Xun's turn to feel stupid. , he felt so unhappy. "Come here, come here, stand in line, come here one by one, and tell your master your name!"
The second half of the sentence was directed at the prisoners, and there was obviously an element of pretentiousness. Chumukunbu Aijintumati snorted dissatisfied, took the lead to step forward, took off a string of colorful stone necklaces around his neck, and bowed , presented his hands to Wang Xun, and murmured a series of words that Wang Xun could not understand at all.
"He said that you are a warrior blessed by the White Wolf God, and he was convinced that he lost. He is Aijin of the Chumukun tribe, so he is willing to offer property equal to his status, family heirlooms and a hundred war horses, for He will redeem himself!" Shi Huaiyi took the initiative to translate for Wang Xun, and then quickly reminded him in Chinese, "Don't rush to agree to him yet. This guy is white and fat, and he will definitely be able to squeeze out more oil and water!"
"Yeah!" Wang Xun agreed without hesitation. He was so confused now that he couldn't even think about the things outside his body. When Shi Huaiyi saw this, he thought he was worried about how to bargain, so he immediately went over his way and talked to Chu Mu in Turkic dialect. Kuntumati said, "Your master said that a hundred war horses are not suitable for your status. At least 500 horses and 10,000 sheep must be delivered to the place designated by him before he can let you go."
After hearing this, Chu Mukun Tumati immediately raised his face and protested loudly, his words full of anger. Shi Huaiyi first scolded a few words loudly to knock off the opponent's arrogance, and then translated to Wang Xun: "I He was asked to send 500 horses and 10,000 sheep to Shule before letting him go. He refused to agree, saying that there were too many things, and his people would definitely rather use someone else to make a jin than redeem them. He. And Shule is too far away from here. He has traveled thousands of miles back and forth. When he returns to the tribe, he will definitely be scrapped. So, either you let him go now, and he can swear an oath to the Immortal God. , return to the tribe and immediately give away the property to redeem yourself. Or you can kill him now! Everyone will break up in two!"
"This guy is not stupid at all!" After listening to Shi Huaiyi's narration, Wang Xun smiled instead of angry, "Tell him that you can let him go now. The price will be as he said before, one hundred horses , plus the necklace in his hand. But he has to tell me who appointed him and what benefits he got!"
"That's all?!" Shi Huaiyi glanced at the necklace in Tumati's hand. It was colorful and contained many stones, but it may not be worth much.
"Hurry up and translate. We don't have time to waste!" Wang Xun looked around and added in a urging tone.
"This is easy to handle, let him wait first!" Shi Huaiyi was a little unwilling to accept that Wang Xun was so prodigal. He smiled, turned his head to the other prisoners, and shouted loudly: "Put down your weapons and water bags, and walk outside Luzhai. No one is allowed. Lead the horses, carry the ones that are alive, and stand in line under the sand dune over there. Can you see it? It is the highest sand dune, with a few poplar trees growing on it. The big man is in front, and the small man is behind. There is a long queue for each tribe. Later your master will send a steward to ask your names!"
He first shouted these words in Chinese, and then repeated them in Turkic. Although it was a bit verbose, the meaning was very clear. After listening to his words, all the prisoners, whether they were full of flesh or sluggish, turned out to be... They were as docile as sheep. They lifted up their injured members of the same species, one by one, and headed towards the sand dunes not far away.
"Please, you two, please act as housekeepers for Brother Wang for the time being! Don't be afraid, they have been frightened by Brother Wang and have no courage to rebel!" Looking back, Shi Huaiyi asked Fang Ziling and Lao Zhou again.
Fang Ziling and Lao Zhou were looking at Qi Xi. When they heard his suggestion, they happily accepted the order. They smiled and dragged Mo Dao towards the large sand dune with several poplar trees not far away. They had already done this for Wang Xun. Shi Huaiyi was a good person and took it to the end. Immediately, he ordered the Mo swordsmen, "Brothers, hurry up to the place where we camped just now and wash your faces. If anyone is injured, hurry up and find Xiao Luo. She brought medicine with her." .It’s under the green flag. Make sure it’s her position under the green flag!”
"Miss Xiao Luo!" All the swordsmen immediately forgot about their fatigue. Regardless of whether they were injured or not, they all raised their heads and looked at Wang Xun eagerly. Seeing that the latter had no objection, everyone laughed loudly and rushed out of the White Bone Deer Village. .
"When did Miss Xiao Luo come out? Why haven't I seen her?" Wang Xun felt a little strange. He pulled Shi Huaiyi and asked in a low voice.
"She is the best doctor in our tribe, so of course she has to move with the large team of people!" Shi Huaiyi laughed loudly, with a proud face, "You didn't see it. That's because you have poor eyesight. She has always been with me, Just wearing men’s clothes!”
"It turned out to be a woman disguised as a man. My eyesight is really bad!" Wang Xun laughed silently when he thought about Xiao Luo wearing an old leather armor with oil stains ripped from a dead body. That eccentric little girl acted like a man. It's always unexpected. Whoever marries her in the future will have a lot of time and headaches.
Seeing that the people in Luzhai had almost left, Shi Huaiyi turned around and shouted to his brothers, "Don't be stunned, quickly get off your horse and collect the crossbow arrows. Pull out the ones from the dead people too, don't leave any of them behind. That treasure We can’t fight it ourselves now.”
The Loulan warriors burst into laughter, dismounted from their horses, and ran into the Luzhai to collect the crossbows. Some of them found that a certain weapon abandoned by the coalition was more pleasing to the eye, so they quietly picked it up and put it on their waists. Wang Xun noticed it and laughed. Laughing, I pretended I didn’t see anything.
Perhaps because he felt that his brother was a little too greedy, Shi Huaiyi smiled and quickly tried to divert Wang Xun's attention. After kicking Tumati, he loudly said in Turkic: "Your master is magnanimous. , I can promise to let you go today. But your redemption materials must be doubled. You swear an oath in front of the Immortal Heaven, return to the clan, and fulfill it immediately. Also, who sent you here and how many benefits he gave you, you must Report it truthfully!”
"I can't betray my friends!" Chu Mukun Tumati's face suddenly turned red and he responded directly in Chinese. "You can kill me now, but you can't insult my pride!"
Unexpectedly, this guy could actually speak Tang Yan. Both Wang Xun and Shi Huaiyi were stunned. Especially the latter, whose face turned as red as a cooked prawn. Before the two of them could say any threatening words, Chu Mukun Tumati took half a step back and knelt on his knees, "I, Aijin Tumati of the Chumukun tribe, today, I am willing to swear an oath to the Immortal Sky to redeem myself with 300 horses and 2,000 sheep. However, , I can’t betray my friends!”
"You heartless guy!" Shi Huaiyi waved his fist, "I'm going to beat you up now and see how you continue to be a dick when you go back!"
Wang Xun took half a step forward and reached out to hold his arm. "Don't be too busy. Leave it to me to handle it myself." Then he turned his head to Tumati and said, "I, Wang Xun of Tang Dynasty, can accept your ransom request. But. , you need to answer me a few more words! Stand up and answer, don't let your subordinates see you kneeling."
"Master, feel free to ask, but I will never betray a friend!" Tumati nodded gratefully, got up from the sand, and responded loudly.
"No one asks you to betray your friends. However, the guy who asked you to send troops may not be a true friend! A true friend will not encourage you to die!" Wang Xun's mouth suddenly became clumsy and he said in a roundabout way. "It's up to you. There are two more waves of accomplices behind us. Which tribe are they from? How many people are there in each? How far away are they from here?"
"This..." Chumukuntumati hesitated.
"I can release all your tribal warriors back to you. If you defeat those guys who come later, you can take them away. All captured, including the ransom property of the captives, will also be divided into 20% for you!" Wang Xun laughed! He smiled and made an offer that was hard to refuse.
Tumati was immediately moved, bowed his body, and responded in a low voice, "You are my master. I can't deceive you. Otherwise, the Golden Wolf God will definitely bring disaster to my tribe. The two groups of robbers following behind, one is The Urqi tribe has four hundred people. The other tribe is the Saihuoluo tribe, which has more than seven hundred people. It is about forty miles away from here. Both tribes ride camels, so they move slower."
"Don't you call this betrayal?" Shi Huaiyi was so angry that he wanted to beat someone up. "You still use the wolf god's disaster as an excuse. Just because of what you did today, your tribe's livestock should have been wiped out by the plague long ago!"
Tumati glared at him fiercely, not daring to retaliate in person. Seeing this, Shi Huaiyi punched him again. Wang Xun did not want to humiliate Tumati too much, so he stretched out his hand to stop Shi Huaiyi again, "Okay, he is also a big man. Patriarch, please save him some face."
After that, he took the necklace that Tumati had been holding up, looked at the colorful gems on it, and stuffed it back into the other person's hand, "You can keep this for yourself. I won't need it. There will be a war later.
You stay with Mr. Kang. I don’t need you to rush for me. You should also be careful and don’t be accidentally injured by the arrows!”
"Yes, Master!" Aijintumati of the Chumukun tribe was stunned. Unexpectedly, Wang Xun actually returned the family heirloom that he had been asked for many times by someone but was reluctant to hand over.
.Compared with his previous so-called friends, the master in front of him was too generous. After a slight hesitation, he considered and said: "Master, your kindness is deeper than the sea and thicker than the desert. Tumati
I cannot be ashamed of your favor. Someone has given three hundred pieces of silk to kill you and other Tang people. As for who he is, Master, please forgive me for not being able to tell his name directly."
"I understand." Wang Xun had already guessed that the main messenger was Ge Shuhan. He waved his hand and responded with a smile, "You can go down and rest. Once the pursuers are defeated, I will let you and your tribe go."
"Yes, the master who is favored by the wolf god!" Tumati bowed again and reminded in a low voice. "Your bravery can make a lion tremble. But, master, please pay attention to the poisonous snake coming from behind. Tumati heard someone say
, the leader of Stone Castle, Sa Yihei, is coming with his troops!"
I really guessed it right. Wang Xun had a wry smile on his face. He waved Tumati to leave, and then said to Shi Huaiyi with a smile, "Let's go, let's go see Mr. Kang. Let's discuss how to fight next?"
"Didn't you just discuss it?" Shi Huaiyi frowned and asked in a low voice. "I remember you said that there is a way to solve all troubles!"
"Things changed faster than I thought." Wang Xun shook his head and explained in a low voice, "My original plan was to defeat the three coalition forces in front of me, drive their defeated troops to attack the other two, and roll back the bead curtain."
He talked about a tactic commonly used in the Tang army. It is said to have been created by the military god Li Jing. It is very effective when the enemy's orders are not unified, or the enemy's strength is uneven. The key point of this tactic is to defeat one of them.
He drove the defeated troops to attack the rest. Wang Xun was also confused in the White Horse Castle at that time. Now, the expected defeated troops have all become his slaves, which makes him a little at a loss.
"Okay! No matter how I fight, I can't let you take the same risk as before!" Before he could finish his explanation, Shi Huaiyi suddenly changed his expression and emphasized angrily. "Just now, did you know? I was particularly afraid that something would happen to you! You are me
Guest, I can’t just watch you die!”
"Okay, I won't do it next time!" Wang Xun smiled, pulled Shi Huaiyi, turned and walked towards the old fox Kang Zhongxin who was wandering outside the White Bone Deer Village. There were some truths hidden in the darkness that he didn't want to tell Shi Huaiyi.
.For the sake of the other person’s future situation in his clan, and also for the simplicity in the other person’s eyes that is worth cherishing.
The old fox Kang Zhongxin had actually arrived a long time ago. He had been silently observing the performance of the two teenagers. Before the battle, he tried to encourage Wang Xun to lead the charge to an enemy force that was several times the size of Mo Daoshou. He actually did not want to let the former
Instead, he wanted to force Wang Xun into despair first, and then help him. In this way, the Han family's Taozi, who grew up rapidly in the future, would be more grateful for the kindness of the Loulan people. After he had a place in the Tang army in the Western Regions,
Only then will it bring greater benefits to Loulan people.
Unexpectedly, this Han family bastard, with more than 20 cronies and more than 100 people, defeated 800 enemy troops! And captured at least 400 prisoners! He is indeed not an ordinary young man.
No wonder Feng Changqing wanted to keep him at all costs, while Ge Shuhan tried his best to kill him! Given time, the entire four towns of Anxi would probably tremble at his roar.
Such a hero, how could he try to trap him with a few tricks? Looking at the two young men walking towards him talking and laughing in the distance, suddenly, the old fox began to doubt his own wisdom. He found that he was indeed old and always liked
Playing conspiracies and scheming all his life is actually worse than the seemingly stupid Little Shitou! Little Shitou has never plotted against others since he started, but Little Shitou has won the love and respect of all the sons of the Han family.
There will be little stones in the clan in the future, so why should I worry about it? In a flash, the old fox Kang Zhongxin laughed again. He squinted his eyes and greeted the two young men.
At this moment, he realized that he was indeed old!
