Chapter 1702: Rise (12)
"My lord, the Kazakhs outside the city have sent three messengers to ask to see the commander of the Southern Army!"
Zhao Hu's eyes turned green when he looked at Tielong, and Monda and Starn, who were sitting on both sides, also had bulging eyes comparable to toads, with their mouths wide open, looking like they had seen a ghost. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Woman? Beautiful woman, stunning beauty, sinking fish and geese, warm jade and fragrant, so attractive two long legs! Zhao Hu stared at the Kazakh woman who took the lead in walking, and saliva almost came out of his mouth.
"Stomp!" I saw a beautiful woman with a height of nearly 1.75 meters and two tall Kazakh guards wearing heavy armor striding into the hall, and the combination of Chinese women and strong men stimulated Zhao Hu's eyes.
"Kazakh men are not good, this woman is really good! Proud enough, tender enough, beautiful enough, wild enough, sexy enough. This is the first time Zhao Hu has seen what a Kazakh woman looks like. Under the white fox velvet hat is a wild girl's pretty face, with delicate facial features and a straight little nose indicating that the girl is an arrogant person.
A pair of beautiful big eyes flashed with the sky-like spirituality of the prairie people, and a delicate half-body red scale armor was wrapped in a thick white leather jacket on his body.
A belt inlaid with gorgeous sapphires outlines the unbearable small waist, the hem of the red scale armor outlines a seductive arc, and the two long legs full of explosive power almost didn't make Zhao Hu's eyeballs bulge out of his sockets.
In the end, Zhao Hu's eyes were fixed on a luxurious sapphire waist knife on the girl's waist: "This knife is very familiar!" Where have I seen it? ”
Zhao Hu touched his fat chin very playfully, his face suddenly changed, and the lustful heart that was beating just now was splashed with a scoop of cold water.
Isn't this the command knife of the Kazakh prince that he captured! Exactly the same as this Kazakh woman's waist knife, do they have any ulterior relationship? Did the Kazakhs know that they had killed the son of that bullshit eagle? Now it's time to run and.
"Honorable Commander of the Tower Fortress, I am Alice from the Kazakh steppe, and I have come to negotiate with you on the question of the prisoners on behalf of the will of the great King of Kings, the King of the Kazakh steppes, and the King of Lake Belo!"
The beautiful Alice saw the obscene Zhao Hu on the seat, and couldn't help frowning slightly in disgust, thinking of the great responsibility she carried, she had to secretly suppress the anger in her heart, and bent down to Zhao Hu on the seat, her voice was as crisp as the northern spirit bird in the mountain stream, and Zhao Hu was itching in her heart.
"Captive? Have your own captives at the hands of the Kazakhs? How do you not know. “
Zhao Hu looked at the three heavenly kings under him with a puzzled look, blinked his little eyes on the seat, and secretly counted in his heart, Tie Long, Mengda, and Starn.
That's right, no more, no less, the three brothers are all here, and they all show an inexplicable look like themselves, only the damn iron dragon seems to have guessed something, and he came back to himself with a meaningful look, and Zhao Hu looked depressed.
"Where did you get your captive, what the hell are the Kazakhs doing?" Zhao Hu muttered in his heart, looking at Alice below with a puzzled face.
"Honorable commander, our great Kazakh Khan is willing to grant you grain in exchange for the booty we have captured, in accordance with the tradition of your knights of the Roman Empire, and this is the list of nobles we have captured."
Alice, a beautiful Kazakh girl, saw the dead Zhao Hu on the seat with a puzzled face, and handed the document in her hand to the guard next to her and continued.
"Aristocrats? Captive? my! It's best to be all dead, a bunch of moths who don't eat and don't work. This was Zhao Hu's first thought when he opened the list of prisoners handed over by the guards.
"These guys are fat, and it's a good deal." This is the second thought that comes to Zhao Hu's mind.
Because Zhao Hu saw an acquaintance inside, one of the heads of the largest smuggling chamber in the north, Baron Liu Fei.
Liu Fei, the unlucky guy, was also arrested by the Kazakhs, and he was placed on the fourth side of the thick list, it seems that the Kazakhs have high hopes for him.
No wonder the 260,000 gold coins that promised to buy his own porcelain have never been shipped, he was slaughtered by himself in the south, and he was caught by the Kazakhs when he went back.
Zhao Hu took a closer look, there were a total of one hundred and sixty nobles on the list, including almost all the families in the north, the largest was the grand duke of the Hans family, and the youngest was also a viscount with a fiefdom. ”
It seems that the Kazakhs treat these people well, they still eat and drink well in the case of food shortage, and are ready to wait for the truce to exchange money with the empire, who knows that this battle will be fought for half a year, and the Kazakhs, who are already short of food, will not be able to bear it.
"What do these people have to do with me? Why do I exchange food for them, the generals of the defeated army, our great emperor His Majesty is already very merciful not to kill them, you like to raise these moths, in the years of war and chaos, who has the leisure to take care of these, even if it is a landlord, the landlord's family has no surplus food in these years. ”
Zhao Hu waved his hand very generously, although he was a little moved, but he still put on a heartless, indifferent expression, the way of negotiation is the most particular about the state of mind, the more you want to show no concern, it can be seen that the Kazakhs are also anxious, otherwise they will not wait for the truce to take the initiative to send someone to negotiate with the commander of their small fortress.
Anyway, it hasn't been a day or two since these nobles were captured by the Kazakhs, eating the Kazakhs, drinking the Kazakhs, what are they doing in a hurry.
"This is too shameless, isn't it?" Alice, a Kazakh girl, didn't expect such a sentence to pop out of the mouth of a Roman Empire commander, she was even more honorable than her own Kazakhs, and she still raised these nobles.
This Zhao Hu directly wanted to put these nobles to death, there was a bit of the style of the knights of the Roman Empire who cherished their reputation in the past.
"They're all nobles of your Roman Empire! Isn't it the tradition of you Roman Empire to redeem the nobility of your country? The Kazakh girl Alice was anxious, and the arrogance on her face dissipated invisibly.
"Aristocrats? What is aristocracy! It's the imperial moths, it's a bunch of slackers who don't pay taxes, a bunch of waste that doesn't do anything but take off their pants and sleep with women! Zhao Hu suddenly stood up from his seat and said sharply, completely ignoring the embarrassed expression on the face of the third brother sitting below, and also scared the Kazakh girl who was about to continue talking.
"What to do? Do you really want to attack this fortress? Kazakh girl Alice couldn't help but feel abrupt in her heart, just now followed the guards all the way in, although it was dark and she couldn't see the whole picture of the castle fortress, but some of the facilities she saw on the road still made Alice feel cold.
In particular, the dozen or so large iron cauldrons standing on the city walls made Alice suspect that the commander here was a legendary wizard who spread the plague of death, and those dozen or so large iron cauldrons were used to refine witchcraft.
"Actually, we can also talk calmly, I have what you want, you have what I want, don't you have a lot of gold coins? That one interests me more than the aristocracy! ”
Zhao Hu looked at the embarrassing scene below, the three heavenly kings under him were staring at him with resentment, and the Kazakh girl was also frightened by herself, her face was pale, she felt that she was a little too acting, and she couldn't help but sit on the seat again.
The night is like water, and the atmosphere of the Kazakh camp camped outside the city is different, but the night in the inner city of the tower fortress is very lively, the noisy noise can even be heard by the Kazakhs stationed outside the city, and the red light reflecting the red sky inside the castle makes the Kazakhs scratch their heads.
The commercial area outside the barracks on the inner wall of the fortress was covered with tents of all sizes, and the traders who peddled their goods were comparable to an army of thousands of people.
The vendors in the trading tent worked hard to wave all kinds of goods in their hands, salivating and selling their goods, from weapons and equipment to all kinds of fruits, and the opposing goods almost filled the tent behind them.
On the left, there is a food street of hundreds of meters composed of dozens of tents, piles of peasants and soldiers are happily colliding with each other with the ale in their hands, more than a dozen gorgeous and charming dancers, dancing on the big round platform in the center of the tent with enthusiastic thighs, the long white legs exposed under the gaudy silk cloth, leading the soldiers and farmers who drink nearby to let out bursts of excited shouts and cheers.
Behind the barracks is the blacksmith quarter, where hundreds of blacksmith shops are divided into three rows, and the fire is bright, the sound of ticking and trampling is like playing music, and the crisp sound of metal hitting is stirring in the night, which can be heard from a long distance.
Nearly a thousand blacksmiths from the three territories worked day and night to build the latest weapons and equipment, and the flatbed wagons that transported ore were constantly transported from outside the castle gates to the blacksmith quarters through the flat stone road behind the barracks.
The wide stone road allowed three horse-drawn carriages to travel side by side at the same time, and piles of iron ore were unloaded from the flatbed carriages and piled up into small black iron mountains.
These are high-quality iron ore transported from an iron ore mine ten miles away, and Zhao Hu arranged for a thousand refugees to work there, and granted the villagers near the iron mine a hundred horse-drawn carts to transport ore to deduct this year's taxes.
