Chapter 566: Hu Qi?
Countless people were stunned when they heard this, and they were all dumbfounded. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Huh?"
"It's not that we ...... The commanders are warriors, so will you let them go?"
There was no joy or anger on the commander's face, "It's just that I won't kill them for the time being, but after all, they have violated military orders, and there is no reason to forgive them easily, so they will have to pay the price for this." If we don't punish them, someone will follow suit, so how can we get people to obey orders?"
As soon as these words came out, the villagers couldn't find any words to refute, and they were all shocked and anxious for a while, but some old people, Liu Heng and others faintly heard the sound outside the strings.
Do you have to pay a price for it?
Liu Heng narrowed his eyes, "Tell me, what price do we need to pay?"
Zhu Dazhuang was even more direct, and hurriedly said with a smile: "The general is really kind-hearted, and we still have some cattle, sheep and demon meat, which are enough for the army for ten days, and the right is used as an apology......
The commander glanced at him, "Isn't it too cheap to exchange these materials for the lives of more than 100 people?"
The more he spoke, Zhu Dazhuang wiped the cold sweat that kept breaking out on his face, his face became more and more nervous and pale, and he could naturally hear that this commander thought that they were giving too little, but this was already the greatest sincerity that the six holes and eighteen villages could show.
If there are more, I don't know how many people will starve to death in winter!
Liu Heng simply took over the words, "Then tell me, what do you want?"
The commander looked at him and said indifferently: "You see, most of these people are young and beautiful women, they are not very old, if you don't kill them, at least they can live for forty or fifty years, right?"
Liu Heng looked at the people who were stacked into piles, all of them looked painful, but they could also see that they were all young, which showed that this commander was not talking nonsense.
"Young men and women can give birth to three or four hundred young children in these four or five years, and they can do a lot of work. The commander didn't wait for Liu Heng to answer, and continued to say calmly: "No matter how you calculate this, it's worth a lot more than our army's ten-day consumption, right?"
Liu Heng frowned, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"I'm saying that human life can only be exchanged for human life. His gaze fell on the thousands of young men behind Liu Heng, and there was some inexplicable smile in his eyes, "It's very simple to let them survive, in exchange for your thousands of troops, you can be incorporated into my command, and naturally you can replace them and go back alive." ”
"What?"
"What is the reason......
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in all directions, and everyone was stunned on the spot.
Liu Heng was also slightly surprised, he didn't expect this thousand commanders to be this plan, his mind was racing, but he said without hesitation: "No! How can there be such a reason for exchange? Even if you use your algorithm, we have thousands of young people here, we can still live for forty or fifty years, we can give birth to two or three thousand young children, and we can do ten times more work, so wouldn't we lose more than ten times as much?"
The commander didn't look down on Liu Heng because Liu Heng was weak and young, and responded seriously when he heard this: "Naturally, it's not forever, it's to let you be my soldiers for ten years, it's always appropriate, right?"
Liu Heng really thought about it, "It's still not right, if you follow you to fight, maybe it's less than ten years, but in two or three years, we will all die, wouldn't it be even more of a loss?"
"I'm sure you'll be at least half alive in ten years' time. The commander of the thousand opened his mouth and promised, "When the time comes, I will let you return, maybe some people have won military merits and can return to their hometowns, and some people are in high positions, I am afraid that you will not want to come back." ”
"What you said is good!" Liu Heng looked like he didn't believe it at all, "But you said that half of the people will die!"
The commander groaned slightly, "Then tell me, what do you want to do?"
Liu Heng's eyes rolled slightly, as if revealing the cunning and shrewdness unique to young people, "It's okay if you want us to be your soldiers, but the time must not be so long, two years at most, and to ensure that we can survive most of the time, then we can still think about ......"
"No, I can't. Before he could finish speaking, the commander immediately interrupted, "Then I will lose money, at least eight years." ”
"Three years!"
"Seven years. ”
"Four years at most!"
"Six years, no less. "After arguing with Liu Heng and you, the commander finally got impatient, "This is human life, how can there be any reason for you to bargain, and if you mess around, I might as well order them to be killed directly." ”
His face was cold, after all, he was a big man in charge of the military, and once he was displeased, he revealed the power of killing decisively, which really made people dare not guess whether he was scaring people or really wanted to kill.
Liu Heng seemed to grasp the mind of the commander, and he was still not afraid when he heard the words, but he still hesitated slightly, and then resolutely said: "Five years!
His voice was quite loud, which caused many Hu Qi to look at him with unkind faces, but he was not afraid, but glared back one by one.
The commander also looked gloomy, stared at him coldly, and after a while, he suddenly shook his head and smiled, "There is an old saying in Great Xia, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and it is people like you who are talking about it. In this situation, you dare to threaten me in turn, should you say that you are stupid and bold, or that you don't know the sky...... But in the army, you really need this temper, okay, then don't be verbose, let's make a decision, release people!"
His last two words were to give an order to the overseer's ten-captain behind him, and the man immediately complied, easily picking up all the people on the pile, and with a flick of his skill, the ropes on this man's body were scattered in the air, and the people were freed one by one.
Seeing this scene, countless villagers cried with joy, rushed up to support their relatives and friends, and while shouting for warmth, they faced Hu Qi, and protected their relatives and friends in the crowd.
Facing the villagers who were like calves, Hu Qi smiled at this moment, and did not do anything to stop them, allowing them to protect these people and slowly retreat.
As for the commander, he didn't look at it much at all, his eyes stayed on Liu Heng and the young men behind him, and he seemed to look at them with interest. Under his gaze, most of these young men were at a loss, as if they had not yet accepted the imminent great changes, some were suspicious and vigilant, which was naturally very interesting, but there were still some people who wanted to sneak into the crowd quietly while everyone was not paying attention.
Seeing the actions of these people, the commander narrowed his eyes, making his already narrow eyes sharper as a knife, and snorted heavily in the direction of those people.
This humming sound was not heard by outsiders, but when it reached that direction, it had become as loud as thunder, and it shook so much that the legs of dozens of people who wanted to sneak away trembled, and they immediately fell to the ground in shock.
Such an accident immediately made many people nervous, and Liu Heng was even more "shocked", his body moved horizontally, blocking in front of the group of people, and shouted angrily at the commander: "What are you doing?"
"You should ask them what they want to do first. The commander calmly put away his breath, "When you really enter the army, if you want to be a deserter, you will be beheaded." Thinking that they were only first-time offenders, I only punished them slightly, and the next time I committed them, I personally beheaded them. ”
Liu Heng was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but look back at these dozens of people, and gradually showed a look of disappointment and distress, "Men should keep their promises, you are embarrassing the villagers!"
"We ......"
"I just don't want to ......"
These people showed a look of shame, and they didn't even dare to look directly into Liu Heng's eyes, and their eyes were evasive. But one of them still said loudly: "We just want to say goodbye to our fathers and fellow villagers, is there anything wrong?"
As soon as these words came out, not only the villagers were stunned, but the commander was also stunned, and his face eased, but Liu Heng chuckled in his heart and secretly rejoiced.
Fortunately, these young people from local origin existed, otherwise if there was only a group of foreign Great Xia soldiers, they might have raised their legs and followed. Even if Hu Qi didn't feel wrong at this moment, he was likely to feel their strangeness in the future, because how could there be a reason not to say goodbye to his father and fellow villagers when he was about to travel far away?
If they forget about it, doesn't it mean that they are very problematic in their identity, or even that they are not local people at all?
"...... you" Liu Heng hesitated slightly, and couldn't help but say to the commander: "Master Qianfu, can we say goodbye to the villagers before leaving?"
The commander nodded, and beckoned the two Hu Qi, who looked like civil officials, to come closer, "Write their names in the military register, and then let them say goodbye to their families for half an hour, and those who do not wait will be punished with military orders." ”
"Whew!"
These two **** Hu **** needed to promise loudly, so they took a kind of subordinate to surround this group of young people, wrote their names for each of them, and then released them one by one.
As a "thousand-commander", Liu Heng naturally got the best care, gave priority to registering for him, and let him go first.
"Uncle, after we go, we must take care of the family, don't let us worry. Liu Heng walked in front of Zhu Dazhuang, his face was resolute but also showed a trace of tenderness, "As for us, with me, you can rest assured, but in just five years, I will be back soon, I will try my best to bring them all back safely, leave them all to me!"
Of course, Zhu Dazhuang understood the deep meaning of his words, but he was still a little in a trance, and he only nodded in confusion.
Because Zhu Dazhuang couldn't understand more and more what the young head of Great Xia wanted to do.
Didn't you say before that you just want to get by?
How did it end up changing its face and becoming the army of Hu State?
Is he hiding a scheme, or is he really preparing to betray Great Xia and become a general of the Hu State?
These things, he only felt that his head exploded and he couldn't figure it out, anyway, from Liu Heng's words before leaving, he heard a few meanings.
For example, the six caves and eighteen villages, even if they leave, they are the same as before, and they are also threatening Zhu Dazhuang not to disagree because of this, and there is the sentence "I will be back soon" that has a deep meaning no matter how you listen to it.
It was supposed to be five years at a time, but he specifically said that he would be back soon, which obviously meant something. The deep meaning of this makes Zhu Dazhuang more and more frightened the more he thinks about it, where do he dare to think more?
Feeling Hu Qi's gaze, Liu Heng didn't even transmit the sound, said goodbye to Zhu Dazhuang affectionately on the surface, said some uneasy explanations, and resolutely turned around and left until the time was approaching.
The situation of the other soldiers was similar, they were obviously people they had never met, but they had to pretend to be relatives and friends who were about to leave far away, and they had to rack their brains to think of all kinds of things they would say when they said goodbye.
Among them, many of them have left their hometowns since childhood, and some of them are embarrassed or even anxious when they leave their hometowns for various reasons, and they don't even have time to say goodbye to relatives and friends, so this kind of drama is particularly jerky and awkward.
But as time passed, they were inexplicably touched in their hearts while acting, but they were touching the scene, and many soldiers even had red eyes when they returned, which made the young men of the new army look surprised and inexplicable.
Because although they are true feelings, they are not very old and have never traveled far, so they naturally can't understand the feelings in them. It can be said that at their age, they don't know what parting means, so they look a little excited and reluctant to come back after saying goodbye, and even excited, but they are not as emotional as the soldiers who act.
After everyone returned to the team, the quartermasters of the Hu army inspected the roster, and when it was confirmed, the commander nodded and asked, "Do you have mounts?"
"Yes. Liu Heng looked proud, "We have surrounded and suppressed a nest of bear demons, and there are two or three hundred horsemen!"
Fortunately, they all changed their mounts and abandoned the unique Blackwater BMW in the Great Xia army early, so they were not afraid to show their stuff when they said it directly at this moment.
His words made Hu Qi's side sneer again, but the commander was fine, but he just nodded and said, "Take your mounts and return to the Latse tribe with the army." ”
"Whew!"
Liu Heng had already changed his promise, and learned Hu Qi's tone to make a promise, and asked the soldiers to go and find the group of bear demons. After a while, a large group of tall black bears that were black and strong rushed over, looking at the gray-haired hunting rats whose size and posture were not inferior to those of the military army, Hu Qi's side was immediately slightly moved.
The commander watched Liu Heng and two or three hundred soldiers jump on the bear's back one after another, skillfully controlled, and still nodded without showing joy or anger, and shouted, "Let's go!"
"Hoo ——!"
The sound of thousands of Hu horsemen responding in unison was like a violent wind suddenly hanging in the abyss, and the whistling sound shook the mountains and fields, and the momentum was very different from Liu Heng and them, which was really terrifying.
Especially when I saw them moving the reins in a uniform manner, they were just static and moving in an instant, which naturally gave people a greater shock.
The purpose of this act is obvious that it is more neat and orderly than when they came. They deliberately showed their best military appearance to give a deep impression to these hairy boys who had newly recruited into the army, with a strong sense of deterrence and showing off.
"They thought they had a bunch of trainable recruits. The senior who followed quietly next to Liu Heng had a chilling sneer on the corner of his mouth, but unfortunately no one saw Hu Qi's side, "It's a pity that they don't know, it's a group of vicious wolves." ”
"Maybe it's a group of foxes?" Liu Heng also asked rhetorically, the smile on his face looked so innocent, so excited and nervous, like a hot-blooded young man full of expectations for the future. (To be continued.) )
