Chapter 660: Ruthless
(Thanks to the reward of "g ruthless man", Brother Y's proposal is very good, Zhang Yuer does have a lot of less scenes, and those plots should be arranged!) )
As soon as they heard that the general was coming to greet them in person, the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army immediately came to their senses, they kept pulling the ropes that tied the prisoners of war, striking their backs with the back of their knives, straightening their chests with a vicious expression, which was also mixed with the sound of leather whips, and those prisoners of war only straightened their rickety bodies one by one under such a signal, although they didn't know what happened and the language barrier, but they understood the posture of those soldiers, and they had to do it if they didn't want to suffer hardship. In his eyes, there was little expression other than fear and indifference.
"Hundred-eyed ghosts, let them cheer me up one by one, and soon you will be able to meet the most powerful general in my Han Dynasty, as long as the general promises to help your king, those small countries will be vulnerable, and Lao Tzu, a prisoner of war like this, can be captured ten times more in one battle." At this time, Zhang Rong shouted loudly to the rear, it turned out that there were a few short alien people wearing sleeveless vests in the queue of the Flying Tiger Army, their movements were not restricted in any way, and after hearing Zhang Rong's shout, they immediately shouted at the team of prisoners of war, but unlike Mu Ran's acceptance of the Flying Tiger sergeant's signal, those prisoners of war listened to their words, although they still obeyed, there was resentment in their eyes.
"General Xuan and General Zhang, rest assured, I have made them obedient, thank you General for giving us the opportunity to meet General Dahan, I will definitely pay more respects." After a fox and a fake tiger shout, one of the people with slightly yellow faces and squinted eyes came to Xuan Lang and Zhang Rong with a smile and said extremely respectfully, what he said was actually Chinese, although it was a little stiff and nondescript.
"Well, when I see the general, I want to talk about the time when your former king got the golden seal of my Great Han, if the general is happy, you will be indispensable." Zhang Rong also gave him a smile when he heard this, and it saved him a lot of trouble by letting this person come forward.
"I know, I know, and I will do it in the future." Seeing the smile on Zhang Rong's face, this alien man named Hundred-eyed Ghost nodded even more with a smile on his face, and said with a smile, in addition to being extremely respectful, it was easy to see the fear of Zhang Rong hidden in his eyes.
After a while, the White Tiger Battalion's military camp in the west of Beiping City is already in sight, the old fourth battalion has the responsibility of consolidating Gyeonggi, and Ping Su has always been stationed around the capital, the previous Liu Yi led the army to Sizhou is the leader of the White Tiger Battalion Zhou Cang, at this time the Xuanwu Battalion commander Pei Yuanshao is standing in front of the camp with the lord to wait, and behind them are Tian Yu and other officials, there are quite a lot of people. Seeing that familiar figure appear in sight, all the Flying Tiger sergeants naturally raised the spears in their hands to their chests to show respect, and their movements were uniform, this was the etiquette of respecting Shangguan in the Youzhou Army, and Xuan Lang, Zhang Rong and Li Fengzhu had already come to Liu Yi to pay respect.
"Flying Tiger Army Xuanlang, Zhang Rong, and Li Fengzhu see King Yan." The three of them were very excited.
"This is in the army, there is no need to be polite, Commander Xuan, Captain Zhang, it seems that this harvest is not small." Liu Yi raised his hand to signal the three of them to get up, and then looked at the queue behind him before he said with a smile.
"The general, the king of Yan, the subordinates in the name of the king of Yan led fifty warships, more than 2,000 soldiers landed in the east of the island country, to the west there is a small country for the slaves, among them there are people who can say that I Han words, it turned out that a hundred years ago they came to my Han, but also got the golden seal awarded by the former Emperor Wu, the subordinates did not forget the entrustment of the king of Yan, and helped him defeat several small countries around him, beheaded thousands, and captured thousands of enemies, but because the warship was invincible, this time only brought a thousand strong people to the king of Yan, and there were hundreds of young women accompanying him, The name of the king of the Japanese slave is called Baimu Ghost Lang, also known as Zhang Ji, which is given by Emperor Wu, and he saw the power of our army and sent an envoy to call him a minister, a hundred-eyed ghost! After Xuan Lang and the others got up, Zhang Rong stepped forward and bowed and spoke, and after speaking, he called the man over again.
"This is General Liu, the king of Yan of my Han Dynasty, and your king's letter can be presented to King Yan at a glance." Seeing Liu Yi nodding slightly, Zhang Rong said to the hundred-eyed ghost who was standing with his hands hanging down to the side.
"Zhang Qin, the younger brother of the king of the Lower Japanese Slave Kingdom, visited the king of Yan, this is the book of the king of our country, and I wish the king a long life." Hearing this, the hundred-eyed ghost immediately knelt down on his knees in front of Liu Yi, and said with a more flattering look on his face, and he didn't dare to get up after speaking, so he took out the letter in his arms and handed it to Liu Yi, and came with a wish, anyway, the ancestral record said so, the Han emperor likes to hear this, and now he sees that this general is mighty and majestic, and even this ruthless General Zhang is respectful and respectful in front of him, and he must be a big man.
Liu Yi took the national book and looked at it but was slightly stunned, except for barely a few Chinese characters that can be understood, the rest are some tadpole-like words, and even portraits, he doesn't know much about the history of the island country, Du Niang died young and didn't know who to ask for a while, but fortunately, after a hundred battles, this strain is extremely fast, and he immediately returned the handwritten book to this person and said: "Read." ”
"Chen Ji, the small lord of the lower country, worships the emperor of the Han Dynasty,......" The hundred-eyed ghost read it without hesitation after receiving the letter, although the language is quite jerky and some words are not meaningful, but Liu Yi still heard the meaning of this Japanese slave country, it turned out that the Japanese slave country that Emperor Wu gave the golden seal was just a small country on the island, and there were more than a hundred of the same country there, and the Japanese slave king of this generation was very ambitious, wanting to exterminate the surrounding enemy countries one by one, and also sent people to the Han Dynasty following the actions of the ancestors. But for some reason, there was no news, and now Zhang Rong's visit just gave him the opportunity to exchange news, so he let his brother Chen Qin follow, at this time the Japanese slave country was extremely poor, and he couldn't get any decent gifts, so he could only give them to women.
"Just that kind of braille, this Chen Qin can say so much? You can't fool me. Liu Yi looked at Chen Qin, who was kneeling on the ground, a little stupid, and he didn't know that his words had offended the king of the Han people, and at this time he hated himself for not spending more effort in the ancestral records, and he didn't know how to explain it for a while, so he had to crawl down and touch his forehead to the ground to show respect.
"Get up, I'll tell Gu about the situation on your island, Xuan Lang Zhang Rong, bring all those captives to the playground of the White Tiger Camp, and see if it's suitable, Feng Zhu, I read your biography to Zhicai, this time it's a great job, I'll talk to you after Gu takes care of this matter." Liu Yi made Chen Qin get up, and reluctantly gave him a smile, this person immediately lifted his spirits when he saw it, and stood behind Zhang Rong with his hands down, and at this time Liu Yi said to the three of them again.
"No, no!" When Xuan Lang and Zhang Rong heard this, they immediately began to command the Flying Tiger Sergeants to escort several teams of prisoners of war to the playground, while Liu Yi went together surrounded by everyone.
"Ji Ming, what do you think of these island people? Can it be useful? Liu Yi asked Tian Yu beside him between walking, now all parts of the subordinate territory are building farmland and water conservancy, and the gap of the people needed is huge, and Liu Yi has always been sympathetic to the people, so that they must be paid accordingly for their work, which has also increased the expenditure of the state capital, how to say it is a burden, so this time Zhang Rong went to the island to imitate the methods of the black slave trade, and the prosperity of many great countries in later generations is not known how much is based on their blood and bones, but I have to admit that although this move is inhumane but extremely effective, Since it is effective, Liu Yi can learn it, first take the island as an experiment, these people not only do not need to be paid but can also be used as cattle and horses, and General Liu has no sense of guilt psychologically, it is a matter of counting in one fell swoop, if this success can be increased.
Zhang Rong not only brought him a lot of prisoners of war this time, but also the people of this Japanese slave country, but it was unexpected, Liu Yi saw that although these people were a little short but their muscles and bones were quite strong, they should be available as laborers, but Tian Yu is a real expert in this regard, so he naturally has to ask more, if he dominates the world, the countries of the South China Sea can also join this category, as long as the Han Dynasty can prosper, Liu Yi will not care too much about what kind of bearing, he seeks practical benefits!
"King Yuyan, although his figure is quite different from that of the people of Goguryeo, he should be able to endure hard work when he sees his muscles and bones, but he still needs to be carefully investigated before he can reach a conclusion, and this matter can be returned to King Yan after being inspected by his subordinates!" Tian Yu said that now Liu Yi's subordinates have a special people's office, some landless displaced people plus the strength of Goguryeo about 30,000 people, this is the fixed equipment of the people's husband, and there is a big difference from the temporary collection, their task is to participate in the construction of large-scale projects in various places and support the war, and they can also be hired by those gate lords and scholars to serve them in their spare time, which has been greatly praised, so the people's house has also been supported by most people.
However, at this time, Ping, You, and the three states are in the midst of construction, and now Sizhou is more short of manpower to resume production, Tian Yu is stretched thin, and he can only barely cope with it with all his might, Chen Qun Zhong Xuan and others began to reduce their expenditures, which made him even more anxious, of course, this is the lord's strategy, but he is no wonder the two, now I heard that there are people on the island to deliver, and immediately came with King Yan, although this time there are only a thousand people, but as long as they are used together, the ability of the two generals and the Flying Tiger Army will be endless, and it will finally help him solve the manpower matter, naturally, there are many people who specialize in selecting people's husbands, and practice makes perfect in everything, and the vision of these people can be described as vicious.
After a while, he came to the White Tiger Camp playground, at this time Zhou Cang was still in Sizhou, the Second Battalion of the White Tiger Xuanwu was led by Pei Yuanshao, and he had just heard the words of the lord that he had ordered someone to add an umbrella cover here, place the table, and personally pour tea and water for Liu Yi.
Pei Yuanshao's arrangement can be described as meticulous, there are a few wooden barrels containing ice cubes next to the seats of Liu Yi, Tian Yu and others, at the end of the Han Dynasty, the people of the north already had a method of coarse ice storage, and now the weather is hot, he learned that the lord came to send someone to the city to buy, although the sun is shining quite hot, but Liu Yi and others are cool around their bodies, and this thought also moved him a lot.
The Flying Tiger sergeant drove those captives to a slightly shady place, and Tian Yu's subordinates immediately stepped forward to get busy, they also brought all kinds of tools, such as weights to test strength and rope rulers to measure leg bones and arm bones, etc., saying that here Liu Yi had to sigh at the creativity of the people, as long as you can provide a good condition, they can use their wisdom to develop it to the extreme, including some things that seem impossible to do in the late Han Dynasty, but they can always have alternative methods, These people have a lot of experience and a certain amount of medical knowledge, and in Liu Yi's opinion, with a little training in their familiarity with the human body, they can be useful.
They stepped forward to stroke and pinch the muscles around the bodies of those prisoners of war, and let them open their mouths to look at their tongues, and many other behaviors made Liu Yi feel that he was really watching an ancient thorough physical examination, those prisoners of war were obedient and close under the whip of the Flying Tiger Army, but when the people who checked the blood were taken, there was a lot of commotion, they didn't know that this was a necessary part of recruiting people's husbands, only when these people wanted to hurt them, the fear of death made them start to have the idea of resisting.
"Be honest with Lao Tzu, you can't die." But this kind of commotion stopped after Zhang Rong gave a loud shout, it seemed that these prisoners of war were extremely afraid of the person in front of them!
"Oh! It seems that Zhengping, this kid is quite handy. Liu Yi smiled when he saw it.
"King Yan doesn't know, this kid is a ruthless master, the two generals said that he dared to pick up human skins and eat people's hearts alive, although he didn't say that he probably did such a thing on prisoners of war, but this is just to deal with these people, and this kid is strict with the rules." Seeing this, Xuan Lang on the side explained that he and Gan Ning walked the rivers and lakes back then, both licking blood with knives, which one was not ruthless, so Gan Ning still has this to say that Zhang Rong's ruthlessness is by no means ordinary.
"Well, it seems that choosing this kid to go to the island second brother is indeed like a torch, it is very suitable, Chen Qin, you sit next to me and tell me about the island." Liu Yi nodded slightly when he heard this, sometimes ruthlessness is also an advantage, don't you see Lai Junchen under the Empress Wu? At this time, the method of torturing prisoners of war was cruel and abnormal, Liu Yi had no rare examples of cooking prisoners of war alive in the Han army, but the use of this method in the Youzhou army was limited to a certain extent, even if they were enemies, they were all Han people, there was no need for this, but there was no need to worry about it at the moment. Seeing that the actions of those who were inspecting could go smoothly, Liu Yi called the hundred-eyed ghost to his side.
This was a great joy for Chen Qin, what he saw in the camp made him have a deeper understanding of Liu Yi's prestige, those Han soldiers who were usually like wolves and tigers saw this person, just like their Japanese slave people treated the gods with respect, wouldn't it be glorious to be able to sit next to the Han king? This army is different from Fuzhong, all of them are Maza, he bent down and sat down but only dared to hit half of his ass, and he looked extremely respectful with a sneer!
