"Yeah!" Shi Huaiyi blinked, seeming to understand. After all, his experience was limited, and what Wang Xun said was far beyond his understanding. If it were the Loulan tribe, a certain elder would look like Elder Yang from the Central Plains.
In the same way, a large number of elite warriors in the tribe were casually put to death. There are definitely only two endings. Either the elder was expelled from the tribe and left to fend for himself in the desert. Or, the entire Loulan tribe was destroyed because of the elder's perverse behavior.
It declined rapidly and became the prey of other nearby tribes.
However, people like Elder Yang who put the interests of his family before the interests of the entire "tribe" appear in endlessly in the Central Plains! However, the Tang Empire is still extremely powerful. What is the reason for this? Shi Huaiyi can't figure it out at the moment, and in the future.
He could never understand. He could only understand what was happening in front of him. No matter how sorry the elders of the Tang Dynasty were to Wang Xun and others, Wang Xun and others were still proud to be Tang people.
This is not only the case for the Feilong Imperial Guards who are highly skilled in martial arts, but also for those who are mediocre in martial arts. There is no need to deliberately show it at all. A certain condescending mentality has been exposed in every gesture. "What about us Tang people?" "What about us in the Tang Dynasty?"
"Similar words can be heard anytime and anywhere. This kind of pride and confidence sometimes makes Shi Huaiyi feel uncomfortable in his ears, but he has to admit that the mighty Tang Dynasty has engraved its mark on every clan member.
In the bones. No matter how strong the wind and sand in Tulum Moraine are, it will be difficult to wear them away.
For a while, no one wanted to talk anymore, and the atmosphere next to the fire became a little deserted. The old fox closed his eyes and fell asleep, Shi Huaiyi hugged his knees and was in a daze, and Wang Xun himself stared at the beating flames, his soul flying away without knowing it.
where.
He is a Tang man. No matter how far away from his hometown, he is chopped to pieces, trampled to pieces, or burned to ashes, he is still a proud Tang man. This strong sense of self-identity becomes stronger the more he is among a group of strange tribal warriors.
Especially when he heard the low and melancholy singing around him, the pride of being a Tang person burst out in his bones, making him dare not bend his spine even a little.
Deep down, Wang Xun couldn't explain what was going on. Logically speaking, after experiencing so many hardships, while everyone hated Yang Guozhong and Ge Shuhan, they would also hate the imperial court in Chang'an City.
However, this is not the case. The brothers want revenge and seek justice, but they maintain the dignity of Datang at all times.
Maybe it was due to the surrounding environment. After all, the allies called them Tang people's Taozi. And the prisoners called them Tang people's masters and Tang people's generals. They were always inseparable from the word "Tang" to express their identity.
The status is completely different from that of other warriors of other races. And this kind of title is completely natural and no one can interfere. Unless someone goes crazy and carves on his own forehead and writes "I am not from the Tang Dynasty". Otherwise, even if he dies,
It can't be changed either.
"Blessed by the white wolf man, the general of the Tang Dynasty!" Suddenly, another call of awe came, interrupting Wang Xun's chaotic thoughts.
Wang Xun was stunned and suddenly turned around, "Is something wrong? Tumatiaijin, why do you have time to come to my side?"
"I, it's not me. It's me. It's not..." Chu Mukunbu Ejintumati suddenly stuttered, opening his mouth to pound garlic over and over again. "Yes, it's me, no, no."
"Let's talk if you have anything to say!" Wang Xun moved to the side to give the other party a place to warm up by the fire. "Sit down and say, it's covered with leather mats. It's quite warm!"
"Alas, alas!" Tumati was a little flattered. He came forward and sat down carefully. He raised his hand to the fire and rubbed it back and forth. "I, I was entrusted by them to come here to find you. He
,them......"
Feeling really nervous, he simply waved his hand back and shouted to a few people squatting near another fire nearby, "Come here! You speak for yourself, and I will translate for you."
"Teng——" There was immediate confusion around the nearby fire. The Hegu man, who had been among the warriors of the Chumukun tribe in the past few afternoons and had served Wang Xun, stood up, took a few steps forward, and fell down with a "plop".
On the ground, a string of incomprehensible notes came out of his mouth.
"They, they said, were grateful to the kind general of the Tang Dynasty for releasing them and giving them a lot of property!" Aijintumati of the Chumukun tribe secretly glanced at Wang Xun's face, his eyes a little wandering, "They
, they also said that they wanted to ask their benevolent master to show mercy and allow them to redeem the bodies of their own Aijin and other members of the same tribe who were captured by the master. As long as the master offers a price, they will immediately send people back to the tribe to collect the ransom!"
"What benefits did they promise you?" Before Wang Xun could speak, the old fox suddenly opened his eyes and asked in a low voice. "I remember that you, Chu Mu Kun Tumati, were just released by General Wang!"
"I, I..." Tumati lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Wang Xun's eyes, "I, we are in the Mukun tribe, very close to their Hegu tribe. They, their Aijin,
Boban and several Burkes were all killed in battle today. Therefore, now, and for a long time to come, all the men, women, old and young in the clan will be under the protection of our troops."
"You might as well just say that you are going to devour the He Gu Department at the opportunity, so that's it!" The old fox Kang Zhongxin curled his lips and pointed out with a sneer. The Loulan Department paid such a high price, but in the end, the Chu Mu Kun people became stronger in vain.
Times. This tone makes me feel indignant no matter how much I think about it.
"No, no, that's not what I meant!" Tumati immediately sat up straight and waved his hands at the old fox, "You, you, you have misunderstood. Tang people, Tang people generals, you must not believe him. I, I
Chu Mukun Tumati, no, I have no intention of taking advantage of the opportunity. I, I can swear to the Changsheng Heaven. We, both of us, just, just today, were defeated by the generals of the Tang Army. The warriors of the clan
The casualties, the casualties were a bit heavy. Of course, of course, this is all our own fault. No, I don’t dare to blame Tang, the Tang generals. But, but, no, within three to five years, the tribe, the tribe’s strength will not recover. So,
That’s why we have to rely on each other temporarily to avoid opportunities being taken advantage of by others!”
He stammered a lot, but he explained his meaning clearly. It turned out that in the first battle in the afternoon, the three tribes Chu Mukun, Hegu and Chiya suffered heavy losses. Among them, the Chiya tribe
As a new tribe that has just migrated from the far north, they have no relatives in the Puchanghai area, and no one will worry about whether they are dead or alive in the future. However, Chu Mukun and He Gu are faced with what will happen after their strength is greatly reduced.
To deal with the problem of prying eyes from other tribes. So, after learning that he and his tribe's warriors were about to be released, Aijintumati of the Chumukun tribe set his sights on the Hegu tribe closest to the tribe's lair. And He
The warriors whose bones were released had just lost their own Aijin, and at this moment they needed an outside support to support them before they dared to return to the clan to report the news. Therefore, the two sides hit it off. Tumati helped He who had just gained freedom.
The Bone Tribe warriors interceded with Wang Xun, asking for his permission to redeem the remains of He Bone Tribe Aijinkenyite and other captured tribesmen at a suitable price. In return, all the Bone Tribe warriors returned to their own tribe.
, and strive to urge the entire tribe to move closer to the Chumukun tribe and jointly deal with other nomadic tribes who try to take advantage of the situation.
In the Tang Dynasty, there has never been a habit of holding corpses to ask for price. Wang Xun himself did not bother to do so. After listening to Chu Mukun Tumati's explanation, he thought about it and agreed with a smile: "When a person dies, it is over. What?
The sins will also be wiped away. Tell the warriors of the Hegu tribe that I will allow them to dig up Kenyite's body and take it back. As for the other captured warriors in their tribe, the price will be the same as others, each warrior, three
One cow and twenty sheep. Just send them to Yanqi City for delivery!"
"Thank you, General Tang Dynasty!" Chu Mukun put his hand on his chest and bowed to salute. Then he turned his head and translated Wang Xun's words to the bone-shaping warriors.
After hearing this, all the Hegu warriors immediately covered their chests with their hands and bowed to thank you. At the same time, they shouted loudly in Turkic language, "General of the Tang Dynasty, who is blessed by the White Wolf God, Hegu will never forget your kindness!
"
Wang Xun waved his hand, indicating that the other party did not need to be polite. Then, he smiled and suggested to Tumati Aijin, "It seems that there are still more than 70 Red Ya clan prisoners, and no one cares about them until now. Their Aijin also died in the battle.
I guess the clan won't be able to redeem them for a while. I don't have time to take care of these guys, so I might as well sell them to you at a price. I'll give you a discount, two cows and ten sheep per person! How about that?
?”
"Thank you for your kindness, General!" Before he finished speaking, Tumati bowed to the ground again. "I will send people back to collect supplies immediately. I will go right away. If it is not enough, I will deduct it from the bounty you gave me!"
He had already seen the more than seventy red-toothed prisoners. Although they were a little barbaric and liked to smear on their faces, they were all tall and round. When they were brought back to the tribe, they would be used as herdsmen or slaves.
Assimilating into one's own tribe in the future is a sure-profit deal.
Immediately, Tu Ma took out a small knife, carved a warrant on the sheepskin, and sent people back to his tribe overnight to collect the ransom. Before the messenger could jump on his mount, the few bone-crushers who had left earlier came with ten more
Several members of the same clan walked over quickly. They walked to Wang Xun and knelt down one by one.
"What else are you doing?" This time, not only Wang Xun frowned, but Tumati himself also felt that the Hegu tribe warriors were a little overreaching, so he scolded loudly with a straight face.
The leading Hegu warrior glanced at him, and then suddenly sang loudly. While singing, he beat his chest vigorously. More than a dozen other Hegu warriors followed closely, singing the same tune.
Keep beating yourself up.
"They, they said..." Tumati was a little reluctant, but because Shi Huaiyi and Kang Laohu were watching eagerly, he had to translate truthfully, "They are willing to follow the hero blessed by the White Wolf God forever.
I will be your slave for the rest of my life, follow you, and witness your glorious achievements."
"This -!" Wang Xun was a little stupid for a moment. He is still not sure about his future. How dare he accept these foreign warriors who can't even speak Tang Yan? Just when he was about to refuse, the old fox Kang Zhongxin
But he smiled and said first: "Take them in. Otherwise, they will not be able to live anymore. It is a custom on the grassland to follow the strong. It is not shameful even if I make you a cow or a horse. If you refuse,
It is equivalent to saying that they have no value of existence. No matter where they go in the future, they will be looked down upon."
"Okay!" Wang Xun had no choice but to nod in agreement. "But what about the remains of your clan Aijin? Who will go back to report the news?"
"They can report the message by leaving just two people." Aijintumati of the Chumukun tribe took it upon himself to respond on behalf of the Hegu people. Then he quickly translated Wang Xun's words.
Before he finished speaking, the dozen Hegu warriors cheered loudly, and one after another kneeled forward to kiss Wang Xun's boots. Wang Xun could not dodge, so he had to accept the respect of the Hegu warriors at Tumati's signal.
.Subsequently, following the instructions of the old fox, You ordered people to find scimitars and handed them over to the Hegu clan warriors one by one.
After getting the weapons, the Hegu warriors immediately got up from the ground happily and automatically stood in a row behind Wang Xun. They raised their eyes and looked around.
"Now you have your own tribe!" The old fox Kang Zhongxin smiled and nodded slightly, "Well, the number is just a little small. Little Shitou, in a moment you can select twenty capable brothers from the clan and let them
I will always follow General Wang. There is no need to return to my clan again."
"This -!" Wang Xun was stunned again, unable to guess what conspiracy the old fox's actions contained. However, Chu Mukun's Aijintumati suddenly woke up, leaned forward, and said loudly: "Shou
General of the Tang Dynasty blessed by the White Wolf God, the people of Chumukun have received so many benefits from you, but they have never been able to think of a way to repay you. Fortunately, the actions of Chief Kang just reminded me. Our warriors are also willing to follow the heroes.
Steps. I will immediately select the twenty most skilled ones and let them be your slaves forever and serve you loyally!"
"Ah——!" Wang Xun had no time to react. In an instant, the number of direct descendants increased to more than fifty.
Tumati did as he was told, immediately got up and trotted to pick out his own tribe. This action naturally attracted the attention of others. Soon, Urqi and Sehuluo also came over.
, each dedicated twenty elite warriors of their own clan, allowing them to forever follow the Tang generals blessed by the White Wolf God.
"General of the Tang Dynasty, blessed by the White Wolf God, everyone in Chu Mukun admires your bravery, and everyone is willing to serve you. I have carefully selected twenty-four of them, just enough to make your loyal servants.
Hundreds!" Chumukuntumati turned back with his tribe, and saw the faces of the chiefs of the Urqi and Sehuolo tribes beside the fire, and immediately added more people.
"The families and property of our warriors will be delivered to Yanqi City soon!"
"My department will equip your servants with weapons and armor!"
As both members of the tribe, who reacts more slowly than the other? Wuerqidi Sitai and Sehuoluo Aijin, Jie Zhilue, also quickly made supplements. For fear that Wang Xun would not be able to see his sincerity.
If we fail to complete the tasks assigned by the Geshu Department, we will not be able to count on the big tree of Geshuhan from now on. But the future of General Wang, who is blessed by the White Wolf God, may not be worse than that of Geshuhan!
He is much kinder and more generous than Ge Shuhan! If you don’t get involved with him now before he rises, then when will you wait?
Showing goodwill to him now is tantamount to paving the way for the future of the tribe. When the hero blessed by the White Wolf God conquers his own sky in the Western Region, the Urqi tribe, the Saihuoluo tribe, and the Chumukun tribe are still
Are you worried that there is no big tree to rely on?
