Chapter 56: The Blood of the Qiang People

The king of Qiang shivered with cold, and he did not understand why these people were attacking his tribe. The Zhongqiang tribe is the largest tribe among the nearby Qiang tribes, with nearly 30,000 tribes. Who is it that has such a large force to assemble such a large force to attack him?

The situation at the top of the mountain was terrible, and tens of thousands of people were crammed into a lump at the top of the mountain. There are so many places that it's hard to turn around, but it's better to be warm up next to each other.

Condescendingly, the king of Qiang saw many torches on the mountains on the east and west sides facing the stars in the sky. At the foot of the mountain, the people besieging them seemed to be only a few thousand. Why didn't so many soldiers come to besiege him?

The child's cry upset him a little, and strong warriors guarded the crossing up the mountain. The back mountain is a nest of heavy snow, and some people have already been squeezed down. It disappeared without saying a word, the snow shell was not hard to freeze, and the snow below was very soft. If you fall, you will be buried alive by the collapsed snow.

Yun Xiao ate the fat mutton and ordered the black woman to put on her clothes.

"What's your name?"

"Yongxi."

Sang Kun can speak two sentences of Qiang dialect, and Yun Xiao will translate one sentence when he says one.

"You go up the mountain and tell the king of Sùqiang, come down and surrender. Otherwise, they will be trapped alive on the mountain, and they will freeze to death and starve to death. On such a cold day, it is impossible for your people to survive in the snowy mountains without anything. You know this better than I do, and if you want your people to live, do as I say. ”

Yun Xiao had a lofty attitude.

Yongxi looked at Yun Xiao with big eyes, and suddenly stammered.

"Are you Han?"

It seems that this girl has some insight. I can actually hear that I am speaking Chinese.

"It has nothing to do with you who I am, go and persuade King Qiang to let your people live."

Yongxi wanted to say something, but was carried out by the goshawk like a chicken.

"Master Hou, I'm really convinced. 4,000 people can drive tens of thousands of people to run all over the mountain, and I, Sangkun, have fought all my life, and I really haven't been so happy. None of our people were injured. ”

Sang Kun greatly admired Yun Xiao's command art, and threw out a series of compliments without saying a word.

"No matter how sharp the sword of man is, it cannot compare to nature, and the powerful nature has the power to destroy the world. Good use of the power of nature is the way to win, we Han people have a saying, the time, the place, the people can win. ”

Yun Xiao drank steamed wine while teaching the generals the art of war that he heard in later generations. He never expected it. I just listened to one of my own lectures. In the future, Sang Kun became the first fierce general in the Western Regions.

King Qiang didn't last long, and he and Yun Xiao knew this. When the sun rose, the king of Qiang surrendered. The darkness before dawn was the coldest time, and he couldn't stand the howls of his people.

Yongxi brought the news that the sneak attackers had made him surrender. And the king of Qiang also knew that it was the Han who attacked him. Those who are mild will not be what they will be. King Qiang thought innocently.

All the Qiang people threw down their weapons. Yun Xiao ordered the young and strong Qiang people to be tied up. Order the old man and the child to start tidying up the house.

"Master Hou. What are you? ”

Sang Kun was a little puzzled, according to the habits of the Donghu people. In this case, the men should be killed, and the young women and cattle and sheep should be snatched. Why bother. Nearly 10,000 people tied it up and it was troublesome and needed a lot of rope.

"The queen needs a lot of people to grow something called cotton. These Qiang people are the best laborers, and these cattle and sheep are my payment, and I will sue the queen to bring me the war horses I need before the next winter. You don't have to send us back to the Han Realm, escort these people back to Zhangye. Your queen will reward you. ”

Yun Xiao looked at the crowd of black presses, and Canghu was picking out the strong ones. It's better for these strong guys to be taken care of by the Yun family. Zhangye needs docile sheep, not rams with horns. It looks like there are going to be some more physically strong coolies in the Yun family's mine.

The soldiers of Donghu were overwhelmed with great joy, and they had never exchanged such a small price for such a brilliant victory. Although the Qiang people are primitive, each tribe has brave warriors. Moreover, the Qiang people will also organize a tribal alliance with several tribes, and in previous years, as long as the Donghu people attacked a tribe, it would be a hornet's nest.

Every time, the Donghu people could only retreat in the attack of the Qiang people from all directions. There has never been a record of such a nest end.

"Sue the tiger, just pick up the strongest one and pick out a thousand people. Donghu also needs some strong labor, and growing cotton is a chore, and it is not possible to have less labor. ”

Sang Kun took a group of Qiang people who were pressed by the black pressure and drove away countless cattle and sheep. Yun Xiao also left the valley with a thousand strong Qiang people, including the Qiang King.

On a mountain peak in the distance, two women in heavy furs watched the two teams leave.

"Sister, how did those people separate."

"Those who wear black armor are Han Chinese, and those who wear leather armor are Donghu people. It seems that the Han and Donghu people have united and must do everything possible to inform the chieftain of the sù of this news. ”

"But they're all flying Han Chinese flags? I recognize the square character, and the merchants of the Han family use this kind of script. ”

"Stupid, the one who uses Chinese characters is not necessarily Han. You follow that group of Han Chinese, and I'll inform the chief. ”

Yongxi carefully wiped the blood from King Qiang's wounds, and the two iron rings ruthlessly passed through his pipa bones. The Qiang men behind him were tied into a string of ropes every twenty people, dragged along with the team, and as long as they walked a little slowly, they would be beaten mercilessly with a leather whip.

The tiger and the goshawk hate the Qiang, and they hate every Qiang. If it weren't for the Hou Ye to stop them, they would definitely torture and kill for fun. Now that they are allowed to live, they must be subjected to some living sin. Although some of the carriages were empty, they did not allow the Qiang to ride them. Each group of bound Qiang was headed by the strongest man, who was mercilessly pierced through the pipa bone by an iron ring.

Blood dripped on the snow and was trampled on horseback. The blood of the Qiang people was sprinkled all the way, and when the ice and snow melted, it would disappear into invisibility.

Yun Xiao was also a little helpless about this, so let them relieve the hatred in their hearts. As long as you don't torture and kill innocents, if you didn't follow yourself last night. There must be a river of blood in the Qiang camp now, and the twilight sun shines on the shadows of the procession. The crunch of the Qiang people stepping on the snow can still reach the ears.

In this world, where there is sunshine, there are shadows, and even the brightest sunlight cannot drive away the darkness in people's hearts. Yun Xiao couldn't change this qiē, and could only try to make the shadows less dark. (To be continued......)
