Chapter 588: Burning the West Cang Sixteen
After coming out of the cell, Bai Quan stood in place for a while, sighed with some emotion, and disappeared in place, time was urgent, and there was no time for him to sigh here. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although the Beiyi, whether Uighur, Khitan or Xi, had more or less Han slaves, the Tang Dynasty never had the idea of rescuing these people. On the contrary, in order not to have a war with these gradually powerful nomads, the Tang Dynasty will even force these Beiyi to attach ministers through hard or soft means, and even send princesses to make peace, although they usually select a person from the minister's family to be sent as a princess, but this is still shameful by many people. Because in their eyes, these nomads are just a group of rude Fanbang, with no brains, not very powerful, and they take the initiative to be friendly, but they lose the face of the Tang Dynasty.
However, even if the ministers and scholars are not ashamed, the common people are very happy to see this status quo, because peace represents peace, and peace means that there will be no war, and for the common people, as long as there is no war, it doesn't matter who goes to make peace and who loses face.
However, on the surface, these Beiyi obeyed the Tang Dynasty and accepted the title and fortune of the Tang Dynasty safely, but in fact, they looked down on the Tang Dynasty in their hearts, and would go south to plunder from time to time. If the impact is small, the Tang Dynasty will turn a blind eye, and if it is big, it will send Jiedu envoys to lead the army to encircle and suppress, but usually when the army arrives, these Beiyi have already withdrawn to the grassland, and then the two sides will settle the matter, and the Han slaves who were captured will not think of rescuing them. It is precisely for this reason that the Han people have become goods, fat sheep, and tools for their reproduction in the eyes of these Beiyi, as for the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will not really exterminate them, which is inconsistent with the name of the Tang Dynasty's self-proclaimed benevolent and righteous state, and it is precisely because of this that although the Beiyi are becoming the henchmen of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has been exterminated but not destroyed, which has always annoyed many border generals.
However, there are occasional exceptions, and if one of these Beiyi is strong enough to threaten the Tang Emperor, they will not sit idly by.
Such as Turkic, Khitan, Xi, and Nanzhao, as long as they grow to a certain point, they will still be overwhelmed by the army, but if they remain at a certain height, as long as they do not cross that hurdle, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty will not have any thoughts and acquiesce to their behavior. After figuring out this law, these nomads also had the wisdom to not go too far, but over time, tens of thousands of Han slaves were swept away by the north, which indirectly led to the fact that these Beiyi were still gradually growing.
In recent years, the momentum of the Khitan is particularly obvious, their big chief Li Huaixiu has worked hard in recent years, and the thirty-six Khitan departments have all surrendered to him, and the rapid development has now been full of cattle and sheep, hundreds of thousands of people with armor, and they have been strong enough to threaten the Tang Dynasty, so Tang Xuanzong Li Longji thought of suppressing this wild wolf lurking around him, and mobilized most of the cavalry in the Central Plains on the grounds of conquest of the Khitan chief Huaixin King Li Yanzhong, ready to let them defeat these two tribes in a battle.
Saying that, turning back to Baiquan's side, he had already investigated in advance, because of its importance, there must be no irrelevant outsiders in the entire Xicang station, and therefore only the big tent of the resident leader Baye Mi can have some Han slaves, which makes his subordinates have always been very dissatisfied, but the number is not much, only about 20 women, no men, and because of his abuse in the past few days, there are only about a dozen left, which is cheap Baiquan, he doesn't have to do more.
Because Ye Chengcheng was born in the Han people, he and Huan Chenyu's mortal body also identified themselves as Han people, and there was an inexplicable sense of belonging, psychologically, he was actually unwilling to kill these Han slaves with his own hands, and then thinking of their tragic experience couldn't help but make him feel a little pity in his heart. He is different from Huan Chenyu's ruthlessness, although he is an ice pole demon wolf, although he uses ice as his source energy, but his heart is hot, and there is goodness in his heart. But if he didn't kill the slaves, they would be even more miserable afterwards, and he had no choice but to deal with them with his own hands, so he had to dye his hands red.
Standing outside the tent, he sighed lightly, and his figure flashed into the partial tent, which is where the Han female slaves of Baye Mi slept, belonging to the partial tent, the space is very small, and the conditions are very bad, and the main tent where Bayno Mi sleeps is not at the same level at all, because the time is late at night, and these women are asleep, and they are completely ignorant of the approaching danger.
Looking at these women who were dressed simply, even some of them in tattered clothes, their faces were very bad, and they all had scars on their bodies, Bai Quan's eyes flashed a trace of unbearability, and he even thought that if Xiao Yu saw it here, or knew what she had done, what would she think? But in the end, he still won over his feelings, and it was good for them to kill them, and if they knew anything in the future, I am afraid they would forgive themselves.
I saw Huan Chenyu wipe it on his waist, and more than a dozen silver needles suddenly appeared in his hand, this is the past few days following Ye Chengcheng, in a blacksmith shop, he smelted a piece of silver ore and let the blacksmith create a complete set of hidden weapons, the number is extremely large, and it is easy to carry, but because of its light weight, the range is not far, and it is completely incomparable with the flying knife, but it is enough at such a distance, and he doesn't want to destroy their bodies too much, he wants to leave them a whole corpse.
With a wave of his big hand, more than ten silver needles suddenly shot out, and the dozen or so women died instantly in their sleep, not even a trace of blood oozed, this is because he used silver needles, otherwise where would he be willing to use a limited number of silver needles.
After the fact, he once again took a deep look at these troubled women, saluted them, and then walked out of the side tent quickly, and came to the side of the main tent, he naturally would not enter from the main gate, there are many personal soldiers of Bano Ya at the door, they are different from those sentinels, under the strict military regulations of Bano Mi, they will not relax.
He didn't have much confidence that he would be able to kill so many guards at the same time without alarming Baye Ya in the tent, although sooner or later he would have to kill, but if he killed it early, it alarmed the Khitans in the whole station, then those Tang troops who were responsible for setting fire would be in danger, and for the sake of safety, he had to find another way to sneak into the main tent.
