Chapter 971: Wooing
As soon as the Wu cavalry appeared, Qiu Linshen, who commanded the troops, turned dark.
Picking up the horsewhip and slamming the air in front of the right, accompanied by a burst of breaking sound, Qiu Linshen was unwilling: "Withdraw!" ”
This is not the first time, at first he wanted to fight with the other side in his heart, but after a few times, he completely gave up this meaningless behavior.
At present, the Northern Xiongnu are no better than the Han people, and the foundation is thin. It is simply not worth wasting on such a war of attrition with no chance of victory.
Surrounded by strong enemies, they dare not fight large-scale battles, and they cannot afford to fight small-scale battles, and the situation of the Northern Xiongnu is extremely embarrassing.
Yuan Shao and the others also knew the bloody nature of the Northern Xiongnu, and they would not press too hard, and they had been cutting meat with blunt knives.
Every time the Northern Xiongnu moved to plunder and destroy the country, there was only about a small half chance that they would encounter the Han people. In the name of maintaining peace and protecting small countries, the dignified soldiers snatched the meat from the mouths of the Northern Xiongnu without blood, and this time was no exception.
The Northern Hun cavalry led by Qiu Linshen heard the order and saw the Han army coming, and without hesitation, they regrouped their formation and reflexively fought their way out of the encirclement.
The army of Jiankun has long been defeated, and although some soldiers and soldiers are intent on fighting back to take revenge, the disparity in combat effectiveness makes them powerless.
Bu Qi and He Qi did not have the idea of fighting to the death with the Northern Huns, seeing that they were so interested, they just chased and killed for several miles and then reflexively retreated.
"I've seen two generals!"
Although he was a king, Li Meng did not dare to slack off Buqi and He Qi, and saluted respectfully with Han courtesy.
A hint of surprise flashed in He Qi's eyes, but he still returned the salute with Bu Qi: "I've seen King Jiankun." ”
"This time the Huns attacked, our country almost perished, thanks to the two generals arrived in time, otherwise tens of thousands of subjects of our country may have become slaves of the Huns!" Li Meng said gratefully.
Although he is clear about the cat behind this, what can Li Meng do. The lifeline is pinched in the hands of others, and stabbing it is tantamount to seeking a dead end. Since you can't resist, you can only cooperate well and have a better ending.
"King Jiankun is serious. The Huns were violent, and they actually bullied the small with the big and invaded the countries, how could I, Dawu, ignore them. Your country has been in good alliance with my Han people for generations, and it is natural for you to come to help, but it is a pity that the road is far away and it is difficult to arrive in time. ”
I don't know how many times I have repeated this to other small countries before, but his sincere tone and expression still make the hearts of the people around him unconsciously warm.
He Qi on the side was already accustomed to seeing this. Buqi's own personality charm and spiritual talent are completely lethal weapons against these small countries. Previously, a king was resentful and unwilling to cooperate, and he did not need to do anything, and was assassinated by his generals that night, and the next day the whole country came with the king's head to apologize to Buqi and beg for return.
Although there are reasons forced by the situation, the ability of Buqi itself must not be ignored. Its spiritual endowment, whether it is friend or foe, will unconsciously rise to a sense of convincing it. In this situation of coming as a savior, it only takes a little words to make these generals and soldiers feel very good about him.
Similarly, Li Meng is also very clear about the deeds of Buqi, the "fierce god". In this case, there were only two fates for the countries that refused to do so, either they were assassinated by their subordinates and the king was subsequently surrendered, or the Han army retreated, and the Xiongnu came back and destroyed it. Now that the Han and Xiongnu are liquidated, he doesn't think he can be left alone.
Under Bu Qi's gentle face, of course Li Meng didn't really think that he was easy to speak, and his expression became more and more respectful: "Why did the general say this, it's too late for me to be grateful, how dare I blame the general." ”
Smiling slightly, vaguely understanding the temperament and thoughts of this King of Jiankun, Bu Qi changed the wording he had originally prepared: "Since the difficulties of your country have been solved, then I will leave later, so as not to disturb your country." However, the ambition of the Xiongnu wolf, I am afraid that he will not be reconciled, King Jiankun must be careful in the future, if there is a need, it can be said that as a brotherly state, my Dawu will come to the aid as soon as possible. ”
In the face of Bu Qi's retreat, Li Meng really didn't dare to agree. Non-relatives come all the way to help, I really think that the Han people are so easy to speak, just listen to this kind of kind words, and those who believe it are fools.
Bu Qi turned around and wanted to leave.
"General, please stay!" Li Meng looked sad, stepped forward and grabbed Buqi's arm and said, "General, now that I am in great trouble, I hope that your country can accept us." ”
"What does King Jiankun mean? I, the Han people, have always been peace-loving, how can we do this? If other countries hear about it, I am afraid that they will say that my Great Wu took advantage of the fire to rob, and this matter is not allowed! Bu Qi said with a straight face.
Li Meng knelt on the ground with great grief: "General, we know that Da Wu Renshan has long had the heart to bathe in the king's grace, so I ask to be attached." I hope the general will allow it, otherwise, Xiao Wang will kneel and die in front of the general. ”
Bu Qiu hurriedly bent down to support Li Meng's arms, as if he wanted to help him up, but he didn't actually use any strength in his hands.
Li Meng seemed to be unaware, and burst into tears: "Ask the general's permission to accept us and others!" ”
Bu Qi turned to look at the many soldiers behind Li Meng with an embarrassed expression.
At the same time, He Qi, who had been watching coldly, quietly opened the talent of the legion. A huge momentum quietly emanated from the army of Wu State, as if a divine soldier descended from the sky, and the golden light was faintly shrouded in the body, which made people unconsciously rise in awe.
The soldiers of Jiankun Kingdom seemed to be infected by Li Meng's emotions, and they were also impacted by the breath of this strong man, and they couldn't help but kneel on the ground in unison: "Ask the general's permission to accept us and others!" ”
The scene is huge and shocking.
Bu Qiu nodded in his heart, but on the surface he was sad: "You want to force me to be a villain!" ”
"The general has said it, we are sincerely attached, why force each other, ask the general to understand our sincerity. After that, the people under his command and other countries, Xiao Wang will persuade his parents and ministers one by one to make it clear that he will promote the prestige of my Great Wu and convince the countries. ”
has come to this point, and Li Meng is also out of the way at this time. For the sake of the glory of the future status, he simply did things to the end.
"Alas! I don't want that, but I want you to be so sincere. For the sake of your subjects, I will make an exception this time at the risk of being punished by the king. However, the land of your country is too far away from my Great Chu, and it is difficult for us to garrison the army for a long time, and I hope that King Jiankun can lead the people to move away with us. The territory of our Dawu is prosperous in commerce and trade, and there are many cities, which will definitely ensure that the subjects of your country can live and work in peace and contentment. "Bu Qi Dao.
The Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated, relying mostly on commerce and trade, and agricultural cultivation is actually not developed, so the population has always been limited. As a Han man with a full talent for farming, this status quo has suddenly changed after coming here.
The territory within the territory of Wu alone, with proper farming, fishing and hunting, is enough to support millions of people, not counting the income from commerce and trade and the support of Great Chu. Therefore, there was no pressure on Sun Ce to move these small countries into and expand their populations.
When Li Meng heard this, his heart was bitter, but he had to agree. After the war, Yuan Shao and the others had summoned their envoys from small countries to go once. However, in just a few months, the prosperity of the Han people's territory was already beyond their reach, so naturally they would not doubt Buqi's words.
I have to say that compared with Yuan Shao and other orthodox princes and kings, these remote and small countries are indeed too backward and amateurish, and they are not worth mentioning at all for the management and resource utilization methods under their command, and they are completely crushed.
Also sitting on Baoshan, Yuan Shao and others have already crushed them with just a little integration, and if they are further developed, I am afraid that they will be no less than Guishuang.
