Verse 334 Clever retreat from Jeremav
The Khitans were accustomed to being masters of the Great Liao Han people, and they could not allow the enslaved humanoid cattle and horses to rebel against them. In their hearts, killing Han people for hundreds of years is like killing dogs, and at this time, they will never back down to show weakness and softness, but will only punish and deter with more ferocity and toughness.
Seeing that the two sides were about to break out, Zhao Yue hurriedly explained a few words to Wu Neng who was on the horse beside him.
Wu Neng urged the horse to rush down the road and shouted in Khitan to both sides of the confrontation: "What are you doing? ”
This group of Khitans didn't expect that someone would dare to take care of their affairs, and they all looked at them arrogantly and disdainfully.
The young leader at the head glanced at Wu Neng arrogantly, then at Zhao Yue and his party, and asked coldly: "This official Yelu Ma Wu." Who are you? ”
Wu Neng turned into a smile when he heard this: "Oh, it turns out that it is still a clan." ”
He pointed to the extra empty horses on the road, and said with a smile: "Coincidentally, I met a group of thieves, and the horses that were killed were inconvenient, and I was thinking of sending them to the Yamen nearby, but it was easy to send you away." ”
Yelu Ma Wu heard that the person was very likely to be from the government, and when he saw Wu Neng showing weakness to please him, he felt very happy, but he was even more arrogant and raised his head to scan those horses, feeling that so many horses were actually good, this was a windfall sent to the door for nothing, his eyes lit up, but he only waved his hand and asked his subordinates to collect the horses.
Not squeaky at all, as if everything is as it should be.
Wu Neng turned a blind eye, glanced at the villagers, and said with a smile: "The migration is hard." Where is this going south? ”
When a Khitan general-like man heard this, he was dissatisfied in his heart, and scolded in a low voice: "What kind of Mulu Fort is it, I don't know what the hell it is, it's still opposite Qingzhou in Song Man." Let's help the border army to guard the Song army and prevent pirates from captive people? That's how the Great Liao Kingdom treats my family's noble master and the heroes of the battlefield. ”
Bohai man-made anti. Female truth help. The Liao army suffered a crushing defeat.
Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi was furious. punished the remnants of the defeated generals, and angrily scolded the clans participating in the war for being incompetent. said: "Since you descendants of the heavenly wolf of the grassland have become useless tail-wagging dogs in front of the Jurchen slaves, it is a bit useful to go to the south to scare the most useless Han people." ”
Yelu Ma Wu and Lao Tzu, who took the lead in fleeing first in fear of battle on the battlefield, were removed from all official positions, demoted to the people of the south, and went south with the remnants of the tribe in embarrassment.
It was Yeluchun, the king of Yan, who saw that he had a little friendship with the same sect before, and was afraid that this group of people would not be able to farm and make money seriously when they arrived at the border, and they would make trouble due to lack of food and clothing, and they also wanted to use waste, hoping that this group of people with good force could resist the possible invasion of pirates. After strengthening the defenses of the southern villages, he gave them Mulu Fort and a large amount of land around it, and gave these villagers land to farm to feed them.
It's just that this group of people obviously doesn't appreciate it and resents it.
Wu Neng inquired about the destination of this group of people, and was secretly happy in his heart.
It turned out to be in Mulu Fort.
I've been through before, I know. I'm afraid you're going to die.
He pretended not to care, glanced at the villagers repeatedly, pretended to be suddenly surprised, and asked, "These Han people are from Cuijiabao near Yanjing, right?" ”
Yeruma was stunned. Surprised, he asked, "How do you know?" ”
Wu Neng glanced at the Khitan warrior who threatened the villagers with the scimitar, and suddenly changed his face and said coldly: "Sure enough, it's you." You may not know that there are not many Han people in the seven states of Yanshan Mansion now. The wolf lord of my family saw that your family had a friendly clan, so he gave you these nearly 1,000 Han families. ”
He raised his voice. He asked more coldly: "My Great Khitan is a heroic warrior and can't farm." You killed these scarce Han people at will, who provided military rations for my Daliao warriors? "You guys?" "Ask yourselves. Without these Han people, who will feed you? ”
And the cattle and sheep. "That's all you need to do to keep you alive?"
"These Han people give it to you. It's not for you to slaughter indiscriminately. You should be kind to them, and reassure them that faithful farming is what the nobles should do. ”
In Da Liao, the only one who is really qualified to be called the wolf lord is the emperor, and in the Yanyun region, it usually refers to the king of the Southern Courtyard whose military power is second only to the emperor.
Yelu Ma Wu heard that the person who sent the horse was a subordinate of King Yan, who he could not afford to offend, but his arrogant and accustomed noble status and habitual temper were still burned by the anger of scolding, and he glared and shouted: "What kind of thing are you, dare to bully me?" ”
Draw your sword and rush up and slash.
Wu Neng had already premeditated, and without hesitation, he slashed the scimitar with a fierce sword, and hit Yelu Mawu's throat like a sword of lightning, and sneered: "Deserter on the battlefield, you are also worthy of being proud of your identity?" The wolf lord of my family once scolded angrily, and the face of the clan is to let you waste all the waste. ”
Yelu Ma didn't expect this person to dare to use force against him, and saw that his best scimitar was actually cut out of a big tooth, and the opponent could wear a sword that was rare among the high-class nobles, and he broke the inside story of the Han people of Cuijiabao given to him by King Yan, and he must have an extraordinary identity in the Yan Palace, and the sword was against his neck, and he was a little stunned in horror for a while.
He is now just a common man of Daliao with the blood of the royal family, losing his power, and like many other children of the declining clan, he can no longer tremble, he can only look at people's faces and wait for death, and then he clearly felt the famous saying of the Han people: The phoenix that falls to the ground is not as good as a chicken.
He, like these Han people, is like a chicken dog in the face of power.
The surrounding warriors said that they were protecting the master, and the horizontal knife was fierce and surrounded Wu Neng, and they actually knew that this person was a close person of the Yan King who was in charge of their life and death, but he was very inward, and he didn't dare to directly pick the knife as arrogantly as before.
Wu Neng glanced at this group of Khitans and sneered: "If you don't know how to be grateful, you don't know how to cherish." My wolf lord will take back the Han people in this village, and let you eat by yourself. If you dare to disagree, this officer has the right to transfer the army here to destroy you on the spot. ”
He stared coldly at Yelu Ma Wu and mocked, "Including you, the grass man who has the honor of being surnamed Yelu. The official is ordered, and he can cut first and then play. ”
These words made the Khitans, who did not want to fall to the bottom of the donkey, realize the seriousness of the problem, and they were resentful in their hearts, but they were immediately honest.
Yelu Ma Wu made a fool of himself in public, couldn't let go of his face, and tried to be tough.
Wu Neng coldly slashed the tip of his sword.
Jerumawu's throat suddenly burst through the skin, and blood flowed out.
He really felt that death was approaching, and realized that the other party really dared to kill him, which frightened his eyelids involuntarily.
Wu Neng sneered gloomily: "Ma Wu." Do you have the courage to try your own power? ”
Jerumawu was called so contemptuously, as if he were just a cat and a dog that could be killed at will. I was deeply ashamed and resentful, but I didn't dare to provoke again.
Then. His father, who was afraid of death, hurried over to make amends for his smiling face and relieve his son. And Jeruma got down from the donkey.
Only then did Wu Neng withdraw his sword and said coldly: "The country is in danger." The children of the clan should know how to cherish it. If you dare to commit the crime of killing Han people again, don't blame my wolf master for being ruthless. ”
After saying that, get on the horse and leave.
Yelu Ma Wu's father asked slyly: "I am fortunate to have it, but I have not yet consulted the great envoy." ”
Wu Neng immediately circled his horse and returned, pressed his sword and smiled, but his voice was cold and gloomy and asked him in a low voice: "Do you want to take revenge afterwards?" Or do you want to find out about the secret mission of this official to the south? ”
The old guy obviously felt that the other party really had a killing intention, and he shrank his neck in fright. Hurriedly smiled and said, "It's good for the envoy to go." Let's go. ”
Wu Neng nodded slightly at the old guy's acquaintance, and lowered his voice condescendingly on the horse and smiled: "It may not be lucky to know me." Not knowing me is not a bad thing. You are a clan, and I think we will meet again in the future. ”
These words undoubtedly revealed that he was a secret and important person in the Yan Wangfu who was responsible for doing vicious and dark things.
Touching the secret of the king of the Southern Courtyard, the old guy was shocked, his face changed again, and he watched the mysterious group leave slowly, and then quietly wiped the cold sweat. whispered to his unconvinced son: "We were abandoned by the emperor and in trouble, not the time to play prestige, and shrink our minions to wait for the opportunity to rise again." ”
"Besides. What he said is not without reason.
These Han people should be coaxed well, let them be obedient dogs like before, and help us farm and fight, and stop bullying and killing indiscriminately. ”
Ma Wu nodded at this time. He scolded the other Khitans a few times and gave his father's orders.
The Khitans withdrew their swords and retreated. The villagers quickly dissipated their courage to resist. comforted the families of the victims, and packed up the bodies and buried them hastily on the spot.
Zhao Yue relieved the siege of life and death for the villagers. When I saw this scene, I left it alone.
He didn't really want to take the risk of rescuing these people completely, but he hated this group of Khitans who treated the Han people as cattle, horses, pigs and dogs......
He knew very well that the Yanyun Han people were influenced by the Confucian culture of the Central Plains for thousands of years, and like the Song people, they had a deep servility in their bones.
These villagers don't look at the confrontation with the Khitan masters, as long as the masters treat them a little better and give them a little sweetness and hope, they are very likely to return to docile slaves, and become loyal and brave pioneers who maintain the Khitan regime and go south to kill the Han people and "fight the grass valley".
This is the biggest characteristic of traitor minions.
In his eyes, the mother and son of the Liu family, who are not obedient to the Khitan and would rather live a difficult life in the mountains, are more important than the lives of these seven or eight hundred villagers together. He would never put Mrs. Liu in danger in order to save these villagers.
For these villagers who have served the Cui family for generations, he has done his best for the sake of the Han people.
Let's talk about the future fate.
Eager to return, Zhao Yue and his entourage shook off the group of immigrants, hurried away, and encountered a skirmish on the mountain road near Panshan in Jizhou on this day.
Bandits were prevalent in the Great Song Dynasty.
Horse thieves are now prevalent in Daliao. It's not strange to encounter.
The fighting side was obviously a horse thief composed of Khitans, and there were 1780 people present.
Although the other party was dressed in the common dress of the Liao people, Zhao Yue heard that they occasionally shouted in the battle with a Hebei accent, and there were only forty or fifty people, because the Khitans had bows and arrows on horseback, but they did not, and they had few men, and although they were brave, they had already killed or wounded seven or eight at this time. It's still a short fight.
The man who was the leader was angry and anxious, shouted violently, picked off a Khitan man with a shot, snatched the horse and flew up, suddenly revealing a majestic spirit, a big gun made it very orderly, and the horse circled for a moment to pick and kill several horses, and constantly grabbed the war horse for his companions.
The leader of the horse thieves who watched the battle was a majestic and ugly man, with a hideous scar on his face that gritted his teeth as he stared fiercely, like a poisonous centipede that wriggled and wanted to fly away from his face.
The ferocity of the spearman seriously hindered the raid, and the horse-snatching led his subordinates who were good at riding and fighting to kill and wound more and more of his men.
He sneaked an arrow, but was picked away by the spearman, screamed like a beast, urged the horse to go into battle in person, and intercepted a pair of heavy scimitars to make the spearman fight, the strength was fierce, and the knife was skillful.
So that the gun man is not afraid at all, shakes his spirit, and makes the big gun in his hand more agile and fierce.
The two horses circled, fought fiercely, and the fight was inseparable.
The man's subordinates are also good, the enemy is outnumbered, the situation is extremely dangerous, but none of them have escaped without permission.
Wang Nianjing, who was hiding from the sidelines, saw this good killing, and couldn't help but praise: "When you meet an opponent in chess, you will meet a good talent." ”
Zhao Yue knew what he was thinking, and said, "Since you are a Han person, you will help if you meet it." ”
Wang Nianjing smiled, took a long knife and urged the horse to rush up, and did not say anything, but slaughtered more than a dozen horse thieves all the way, and killed in front of the two leaders in a moment, and then shouted: "Make the gun hero, this Khitan dog is handed over to me." ”
Saying that, he has cut into the battle circle and intercepted the leader of the horse thieves in a big battle.
The gun man got a respite, and he was grateful for the unexpected help, but he didn't have time to bother with nonsense, and hurriedly circled his horse and fought into the siege to rescue the besieged subordinates in danger.
Wu Neng and Xu Jin rushed forward after him, and their swords were vertical and horizontal, killing the horse thief who was only wearing leather armor and leather clothes and fell like chopping vegetables.
Liu Zhong and Liu Yi are hunters in dangerous places in the mountains, they are not afraid of hunting tigers, they have seen a lot of blood, and they are not afraid of killing.
The first murder of the two was in the black shop, followed the brothers to kill the villains, and opened a meat shop.
At this time, seeing that the brothers were killing happily, and they had not hunted for a long time, and their hands were itchy, and seeing that Zhao Yue had no intention of going up, he knew that Zhao Yue was more concerned about their mother and the girl who looked beautiful and weak but strong in her bones, so he stayed to protect and prevent accidents from happening in this strange wilderness.
They are fierce and honest and simple men raised by the mountains, they are grateful to Zhao Yue but don't say it, and they also believe that with Zhao Yue here, no one can hurt the people in the car, so they greeted Zhao Yue, got tacit approval, and joined the battle with a double-strand steel fork.
The two of them used to live in the deep mountains and were not very good at riding horses, although they practiced riding by the way to the south, relying on their agility, and now they can ride well, but when they fight, they are not as skilled and flexible as they have practiced in the deep mountains, so they abandon their horses and walk, but they are not slow at all in a short distance, and they quickly rush up like predatory beasts.
Zhao Yue saw that the two of them were circling around the horse, the pace was flexible and fast, and the fork was stabbed up accurately, ruthlessly and fast, and almost no horse thief could be spared...... To show his power, he didn't suffer to ride on foot on such an occasion, and he couldn't help but smile.
The head of the horse thief is skillful in swords and horses, fierce and brave, but he is not able to defeat Wang Nianjing's increasingly strong skills, and he can't resist the treasure knife.
As soon as he died, the rest of the horse thieves were shocked, and sixty or seventy horsemen were killed and wounded, and fearing the strong reinforcements of the opponent, they immediately abandoned their target and fled with a roar. (To be continued.) )
