The dragon king also has a favorite woman, which makes the soldiers in the army feel a lot more at ease, and they are all gearing up, ready to enter the city to loot, and they are so excited that they almost sleep all night.

Gu Shenwei didn't sleep either, forcing himself to temporarily forget about Shangguan Ru, the Lotus Girl and the old man Mu, and concentrate on thinking about what to do with the country of incense.

Among the people, only Tuo Nengya said the most important reason, the country of Xiangji can no longer be isolated from the world, nearly two thousand warriors of the Great Snow Mountain cannot all keep their mouths shut, such an easy country to conquer, like a huge piece of fat, will attract countless tigers and wolves, among which there must be Jinpeng Castle.

Mercy can't save the country of incense, it will only give it to the Dubu King to increase the strength of the enemy.

Gu Shenwei hopes that there will be a guide by his side, and Fang Wenshi and Zhong Heng can immediately put forward the best suggestions.

He didn't know much about the art of war, and could only rely on intuition and a superficial understanding of the Central Plains army when he was a child to command the soldiers of the Great Snow Mountain, but he was very sure that the army under his command was going to dominate the Western Regions and compete with Jinpeng Fort and Beiting, and he must not let it be reduced to the level of bandits.

How to deal with the loot that is easy to get hold will be a test that will determine the future direction of the Dragon King and the Great Snow Mountain.

Gu Shenwei understood this truth, but he didn't know how to express it.

Swordsmen, swordsmen, and savages were originally the three most important sources of bandits in the Western Regions, and it was a matter of course for them to share the spoils fairly, they didn't understand the truth, and they didn't want to listen to it, and the dragon king's hesitation would only make people think that he wanted to swallow it alone.

Soon after sending two teams of men and horses to find the antidote and the old man Mu, it was dawn, and the aristocratic hostages who remained in the barracks had already sensed the crisis from the impatient eyes of the warriors, and the two tribal leaders who could speak the Central Plains dialect stood in front of the dragon king's tent early in the morning, begging for a meeting.

After being approved, the two of them marched into the tent on their knees, and the chickens kowtowed more than a dozen times like pecking rice, Gu Shenwei got up for the order, but the two still knelt and kowtowed more than a dozen times before they barely stood up, and one of them said honestly: "We have discussed it together, since the Dragon King is the lord of the country, we should not just verbally show loyalty, but also make a more practical expression." Although the country of incense is remote, and each family still has some surplus, we are willing to give half of our wealth to replenish the military funds. ”

When Gu Shenwei heard this, he didn't squeak.

The dragon king didn't seem to be very satisfied, and the other immediately said: "There are also three thousand male slaves and three thousand female slaves, who serve the whole battalion with the army." ”

The number of troops in the Great Snow Mountain is less than 2,000, and the nobles give 6,000 slaves alone, Gu Shenwei can't understand how he thought when the country of Xiangji formulated the national policy, did he really think that the mountains and forests alone could block all foreign enemies?

Gu Shenwei solemnly accepted the gift to appease the two leaders, and then asked the two to call other hostages and go with the dragon king to meet the warriors in the camp.

The sun is rising, and the excited warriors are waiting for the dragon king to announce the plan for the distribution of the spoils.

Gu Shenwei stood in the middle of a clearing, with more than fifty trembling aristocratic hostages behind him, and he also ordered someone to move out the few remaining boxes of gold and silver in the Great Snow Mountain and put them at his feet.

It was more like something to be divided, the warriors nodded to each other in satisfaction, and the hostages turned pale, thinking that they had not given enough.

"Everyone has been resting for so long, I want to see if the kung fu has fallen first. What the dragon king said had nothing to do with the distribution of spoils, "The swordsman chooses fifty people, and the swordsman and his own soldiers combine fifty people, and the contest is high, and the loser is not punished, and the winner is rewarded." ”

The pro-soldiers are savage soldiers, and they are under the direct command of the dragon king, so they are called pro-soldiers.

Martial arts competitions were one of the favorite things the warriors did, and as soon as the dragon king gave the order, hundreds of people immediately flocked to their respective leaders to ask to sign up.

Many people didn't understand the Dragon King's move, but seeing the panicked expressions of the hostages, they understood that the Dragon King was trying to give the nobles of the country of Xiangji a dismount.

The warriors participating in the contest were quickly selected, a total of 100 people, standing on the left and right sides of the dragon king.

Gu Shenwei gave an order, and the two teams yelled and charged at each other.

It is said that there is no punishment for the loser, but these warriors value honor more than anything else, and the reputation of defeat alone makes them unbearable, not to mention that the dragon king said that the winner will be rewarded, and it must be that they can get an extra share when the spoils of war are distributed later.

Therefore, although they are comrades, many people are even friends of life and death, but there is no ambiguity at all when they move, and both sides exert their strength.

If the dragon king wanted to intimidate the hostages, then his purpose was completely achieved, and the nobles who wore soft robes and had elaborate rings around their waists were like lions and tigers, and they were so frightened that they had to support each other to barely stand.

Gu Shenwei and several patriarchs closely watched the situation on the field, and it was nothing to be injured, but they couldn't let one of these fighters die.

As soon as the signs of victory and defeat were revealed, Gu Shenwei stopped the competition.

Fifty Great Snow Mountain swordsmen are the winners, and the swordsmen and the Dragon King's personal soldiers are not as strong as each other, and they are not skilled in cooperating, so it is natural that they will be defeated.

Everyone looked at the dragon king enthusiastically, waiting for him to announce the distribution plan and give the winner a reward.

Gu Shenwei asked people to roughly divide the gold and silver in the box into fifty parts, and then said: "Come and receive the reward, one gold and silver, one hostage, is your reward." ”

The soldiers looked at each other, this was not the same as the reward they imagined, the amount could not be said to be small, but these gold and silver were all owned in the army, not the wealth of the country of incense, as for those hostages, they were all weak and weak, and they were all men, who wanted them?

The nobles thought the opposite, they were the highest people in the country, and they all had a huge inheritance, and they were slaves to the barbarians, so they knelt down together, and cried and begged the dragon king to be merciful, and the price of ransom became higher and higher, and at last even exceeded his own net worth several times.

The victorious swordsmen suddenly realized, and rushed to grab the hostages, but they couldn't look down on the small pile of gold and silver at the dragon king's feet.

No matter how the hostages pleaded, the dragon king remained indifferent, and when the fifty swordsmen had received the hostages, gold and silver, he issued an order that surprised everyone, "Winner, take your slaves on your back, and take up your gold and silver." ”

This is a bit strange, for the slaves are the ones who serve their masters, so how can they let their masters carry them? As for the gold and silver, it is better to say that fifty swordsmen have already packed them in their hands.

The dragon king's order could not be disobeyed, although the swordsmen were puzzled, they still obeyed the orders one by one, but those men who were crying and crying on their backs really upset them, and they couldn't shake them off immediately and slash them with a sword.

"Are any of you willing to give up your reward?" the Dragon King asked aloud.

The swordsmen all smiled and shook their heads, and no one would give up the good things they had in their hands.

"Alright, take your reward and prepare for the second battle. ”

The dragon king's order made everyone stunned.

Fifty victorious swordsmen, carrying burdens on their backs, carrying gold and silver in one hand, leaving only the other hand to use, although it is not a problem to swing the sword with one hand, but the opponent is not a weak and bullying rabble, this kind of play, the swordsman will definitely lose.

The soldiers in the camp were silent, and even the miserable aristocratic hostages stopped crying, confused by the Dragon King's intentions.

"When the war starts, the hostages and gold and silver fall to the ground, that is, they are considered to have given up. ”

Some people already vaguely understood the Dragon King's intentions, but some people were not convinced, and swung their swords with one hand and rushed towards their opponents.

The outcome was obvious, and no swordsman could carry gold and silver on his back to contend with his opponents, either throwing away the reward halfway, or retreating, and eventually having to throw away useless things.

"Look. Gu Shenwei felt that it was time to say what he really thought, "This is what slaves and money mean to warriors, either they become a fatal burden, or they will be taken away in the blink of an eye." ”

This large basin of cold water extinguished all the excitement of the soldiers, and Gu Shenwei still had to boost morale, so he continued, "Our enemy is the Dubu King, I swore to the sky to break through Jinpeng Fort within three years, and now that a year has passed, you tell me, Jinpeng Fort has been captured?"

"Nope. There was a sparse reply from the crowd.

"Are you going to throw in the towel and hide forever, or are you ready to challenge the Dubu King again?"

"Challenge. "There were a few more people who answered.

"Do you want to carry gold and silver into battle with slave hands, or do you want to go into battle lightly and fight for victory with your sword?"

"Pack light!" everyone shouted in unison as they understood what the Dragon King meant.

The silver and gold were left on the earth, and no one paid any more attention to them.

The nobles of the Land of Incense were desperate to survive, but they did not understand what was going on, and the words of the dragon king puzzled them, and the reaction of the warriors was even more incredible, and these barbarians were happy to choose the latter between the money of the slaves and the generosity of their deaths.

A swordsman, who was a little bolder, did not regard the dragon king as a god as a swordsman or a savage, so he questioned the crowd, "If you fight a war, you will die, can't we enjoy it before we die?"

At first, it was just enjoyment and relaxation before going to battle, but not many warriors could resist the pleasure of women and money for a long time, and it would not be long before the will to die would be shaken, and even the bravest swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain would hesitate when they charged, thus losing their most valuable qualities as warriors.

Gu Shenwei saw this clearly, but what he said was something else, "Okay, everyone can die on the battlefield, you will, he will, I will, occasional enjoyment can make you relax, but this relaxation is false, the sword of Jinpeng Castle will always hang over your head, can you enjoy it steadily? Now there is a chance, we will win the war, defeat the Dubu King, occupy the boundless land, rule over countless people, when the time comes, you can enjoy it to the fullest, and leave this enjoyment to future generations." Let's make a bet with our lives, lose, die on the battlefield, win, and enjoy peace forever, are you willing?"

The shout of "willing, willing" sounded, and at this moment, Gu Shenwei persuaded his soldiers.

The shouting stopped, and the one-eyed patriarch Long Xiaoshi pointed to the group of hostages who were paralyzed on the ground and said, "What about them?

Gu Shenwei didn't want slaves, but he couldn't leave them to others.

"All men of the land of incense, regardless of master and slave, over fifteen years old and under fifty years old, joined the army and learned to use the sword. ”

This is Gu Shenwei's plan for dealing with the country of incense: turning all the obedient weak into warriors who can kill and fight, and from burdensome to viable.
