Unexpectedly, after hearing Xue Qiluo's pretentious words, the captain of thousands named Wu Luoye immediately blushed with shame. He lowered his head and murmured for a long time, and then said in a voice like a gnat: "Little Chief
, I was sent by Wang Junlin, the Marquis of Qin'an of the Great Sui Dynasty and General Zhenyuan, to deliver a message to you. I was accidentally captured by the Sui army during the battle this morning!"
"Ah...!" Xue Qiluo and the other generals, Xue Yantuo, were stunned for a moment, and then looked at Wu Luoye with a completely different look.
"Humph, tell me! Wu Luoye, what message does Wang Junlin's thief ask you, a coward, to bring to us?" Xue Qiluo's expression had turned cold, with a look of disgust on his face.
"Little chief, 8,794 of our soldiers were captured by the Sui army. Wang Junlin said that he is willing to let us redeem all the prisoners of war for 500,000 sheep and 50,000 war horses, and also return the bodies of our dead.
As an additional head, return it to us for burial. If we cannot come up with so many sheep and horses to redeem the people, then the value of a captured soldier is twenty sheep or two horses, and the value of a corpse is three sheep.
The ransom for a centurion is five times that of an ordinary soldier, and for a captain of thousands it is ten times.”
"We can't get so many sheep and war horses now!" Xue Qiluo turned pale with anger and cursed loudly. If they, Xue Yantuo, had enough sheep in their hands to support the tribe's survival, they would not have braved the snow to come to Sui Dynasty.
Chaoda Caogu. Moreover, even if they could get it, neither he nor his father Yi Shibo would be able to exchange so many sheep and war horses for more than 8,000 captives. Of course, if all these captives were directly under their father and son,
The big tent cavalry is a different matter.
"Wang Junlin said, if we can't get it out, we can collect it in batches, with one month as the deadline. After this deadline, all the captives will be slaves in the Sui people's territory forever!" Wu Luoye said with a red face.
"The Immortal God will curse the shameless and cruel Sui people!" Xue Qiluo cursed, but he never thought about how their 30,000-strong army dispersed before and killed, burned and looted in Xifeng County of the Sui Dynasty.
All people, including women, children, old and young, were killed, and all women were raped and raped to death.
"Wuyeluo, how many of our cavalrymen were captured by the Sui people?" Carter Xiong suddenly asked.
Wuyeluo thought for a moment and said, "There are probably more than a thousand people."
Carter Bear turned to Xue Qiluo and said: "Little chief, why not redeem the cavalry of the big tent first? Each of them is carefully selected by the chief, and they can be worth a hundred warriors."
Xue Qiluo felt that what Carter Xiong said was right. He quickly glanced at the leaders of the tent and said: "Yes, the cavalry in the tent are our most elite warriors and cannot be slaves to the Sui people."
"Little Chief, the warriors of our Red Rain Tribe are not bad either. They were trapped in the Shifeng Village Fort and were captured. Naturally, they cannot be slaves to the Sui people." Chi Hongzhu, the leader of the Red Rain Tribe, said with a gloomy face.
"Our Black Horse Tribe suffered heavy losses in the attack on Shifeng Village. We don't have many warriors to begin with, and the captured warriors have to be redeemed." Habagou, the leader of the Black Horse Tribe, said through gritted teeth.
"We, the warriors of the Feiluo tribe..."
The heads of various departments argued with each other one after another. Xue Qiluo looked ugly, but he could not suppress it. He ignored the villages and towns and attacked Shifeng Castle to no avail. The disastrous defeat in the morning greatly reduced his prestige. If he could do it at this time
If you dare to suppress them with force, it might trigger a mutiny.
The arrogance of the various leaders also made Xue Qiluo more and more determined to redeem more than a thousand captured cavalry from the big tent. He knew that in the Turkic Khanate, the strong were respected. As long as he had enough troops in his hands,
Even if their prestige was affected again, these people would not dare to be so presumptuous. But how to deal with these leaders now? He wanted to call in the soldiers outside the door several times and kill all the leaders who dared to disrespect him, but reason told him
He absolutely cannot do this.
"Little Chief, why don't each tribe first redeem three hundred of their bravest warriors." Carter Bear said at the right moment.
Xue Qiluo had to agree under the hostile eyes of the leaders.
…
…
In order to prevent the prisoners from freezing and starving to death, Wang Junlin gave each ransomed prisoner a bowl of hot mutton soup before the prisoner trade. It was just that some special seasonings were added to the hot mutton soup.
Looking at the thick snow outside, Xue Qiluo couldn't help but sigh. He wanted to take revenge, but Wang Junlin was unwilling to leave Shifeng Village. He had to attack Shifeng Village. The nearby villages and towns were also robbed by them.
, it is almost impossible to lure the opponent out of the city. In the past few days, more than a thousand cavalry from the big tent and nearly two thousand of the bravest warriors from each tribe have been redeemed with sheep and war horses.
"Why don't you buy back my brother Mivago? He is so strong." There are more than 5,000 soldiers who are slaves in the hands of the other party. These more than 5,000 people have their own relatives and friends. They only care about the little chiefs and the chiefs.
He was unwilling to redeem the sons of ordinary shepherds. He was very dissatisfied with the unfair behavior of his husband and often gathered at the entrance of the big tent of each leader or Xue Qiluo to protest. But the heads of the tribes and Xue Qiluo did not
They had to find a way to solve their difficulties. In the disastrous defeat a few days ago, they kept all their cattle, sheep and many horses. The cattle, sheep and horses brought by the 20,000 reinforcements were not many. And the hateful Sui Dynasty poisonous general Wang
The lion of King's Landing opened his mouth. A warrior wanted twenty sheep or two horses to redeem him. Where could they get so many cattle, sheep and horses?
"Little chief, didn't the Sui people allow us to pay in batches? I think there are still three thousand war horses in the public treasury. Why not redeem some of the warriors!" Habagou, the leader of the black horse tribe, was really annoyed by the people below.
I had no choice but to come to see Xue Qiluo. He looked listless and his face was a little pale.
"If you give them the war horses, our warriors will not be able to guarantee one person and two horses. When we fight again later, what will we give to our own warriors?" Xue Qiluo asked loudly, looking like a defeated rooster.
.No one understands his difficulties. The leaders think that he intends to weaken the strength of each tribe, while the ordinary soldiers below think that he is only good to the cavalry of the big tent, and does not regard the soldiers of other tribes as their brothers. But who is willing to think about him, for the whole
Think about the overall situation. If he redeemed the people with war horses today, when the enemy came over, many warriors were just one man and one horse. On the wide grassland, if the cavalry could not guarantee one man and two horses, how far could they run or fight?
How long will this directly affect the combat effectiveness of their troops?
"Little Chief..." Habagou wanted to say something, but his expression suddenly changed. He picked up his pants and ran out. I don't know why, but he suddenly started to have diarrhea today, and it happened several times every time, and he was covered in diarrhea.
