Chapter 636: Fools, We Are Zhao Guoren (Fourth Update)
The smoke cleared overnight.
The fire, which raged for a whole night, burned the Xiongnu camp that stretched for more than ten miles to almost a ruin, and only a few places were spared.
"Let's go, let's go!" Under the order of the soldiers of the Zhao army, piles of Hun prisoners walked out of the ruins of the camp in despair, and were escorted by the soldiers of the Zhao army, heading towards Dingxi City not far away.
Xian Shan and Tu Xian stood far away, staring at the scene in front of them with calm faces.
All the soldiers of the Aries tribe have been taken over by a general named Zhao Kuo, although General Zhao Kuo claims that he will return the soldiers after this battle, but neither Xianshan nor Tu Xian really cares about this matter.
Xianshan said slowly: "You said that after they became prisoners, what should be the end?" ”
Tu Xian thought for a moment, and then spoke: "I heard that the Zhao State needs a lot of slaves now, I think they should be sent to the so-called Zhao State Iron Works. ”
Xianshan nodded and said, "If that's the case, it's actually a good ending, at least they won't be killed here in a senseless way." ”
Whether it is Xianshan or Tu Xian, at this time, he intentionally or unintentionally downplayed his identity as a Huns, but thought about this matter from the standpoint of Zhao Guoren.
A general of Zhao State galloped past on horseback, and the smoke and dust from the horse's hooves almost reached the faces of the two.
Suddenly, the general of Zhao State stopped again, turned his horse around, and came back to the front of the two of them.
"Hey, you two, are you Huns?" This officer of the Zhao Kingdom asked the two of them in a rather lame Zhao Chinese dialect.
Xianshan and Tu Xian glanced at each other, and then said: "This general, we are indeed Huns, but we are not ......."
Before Xianshan's words fell, he was interrupted by the general of Zhao State in front of him: "Very good, since you two are Huns, then you two come over to identify them and see if there are any more important people among these captives." ”
Xianshan nodded, and followed the general of Zhao with Tu Xian towards the one not far in front of him, who was slowly walking out of the Xiongnu camp, and it seemed that there were about 3,000 captives.
This general of Zhao is actually a very talkative person, so soon Xianshan and Tu Xian understood that this was not actually a general of Zhao State, but the King of Yiqu from Yiqu State.
Yi Qusheng rode his horse in front of him, and boasted triumphantly to Xianshan and Tu Xian.
"At that time, when the 100,000 Xiongnu army invaded here, all the ministers of this king were frightened, and they all persuaded this king to stand on the side of the Xiongnu immediately, otherwise the Yiqu country would be very dangerous. However, only this king clearly knew that Zhao would definitely win, so this king did not hesitate and immediately took all the troops in the Yiqu country to the north to rescue Zhao. ”
Speaking of this, Yi Qusheng's whole voice became more high-pitched: "It turns out that those old immortals are useless except for chattering all day long and talking nonsense, only the judgment of this king is correct, and the people of Zhao have won again!" ”
Yi Qusheng smiled at Xian Shan and said, "This is actually a very simple truth, isn't it?" As long as you stand with the victors, then death and defeat will never appear in front of you. ”
Although they knew that Yi Qu Sheng said these words in order to show off in front of the two of them, when Xian Shan and Tu Xian heard this, the two couldn't help but smile at each other and agreed with Yi Qu Sheng's words.
Speaking of which, didn't Xianshan and Tu Xian just because they also determined that Zhao Guo would eventually become the victorious party, so they did not hesitate to throw themselves into the arms of Zhao Guo?
From this point of view, Xian Shan and Tu Xian are no different from the Yiqu Sheng in front of them.
As the two walked, they listened to Yiqu Sheng's big mouth talking all the time, but they had a little more affection for this Yiqu King, who was also a Hu person.
After walking for a while, the two followed Yiqu Sheng to the captives.
Yi Qusheng pointed at the captives in front of him with a horsewhip, and said with a very heroic smile: "Two brothers, this is the captives I caught, I am ready to take them back to herd the horses for me!" But before we can do that, we'll have to get out of the heads and kings who might be hiding inside! If you can tell one, I'll send you ten captives!" ”
Xian Shan and Tu Xian smiled, but they didn't take Yi Qu Sheng's words too seriously, after all, the merits made by the two of them this time were not comparable to those of a mere dozens of hundred captives.
However, since Yiqu Shengdu had already spoken, Xianshan and Tu Xian naturally had no reason to refuse, so the two walked to the group of Hun captives in front of them, and looked at them as they walked.
Not to mention, after such a quick look, the two of them really recognized the two Xiao Wang and several Hun generals, which made Yiqu Sheng very happy.
"Okay, the two brothers have helped a lot this time, the next time you go to Yiqu Kingdom, just go to this king, this king will definitely entertain the two brothers."
A moment later, Xianshan and Tu Xian waved their hands with smiles on their faces, and watched Yiqu Sheng triumphantly leave with a large group of Hun captives.
After Yiqu Sheng left, Xianshan and Tu Xian turned around and looked at the fifty panicked Hun captives in front of them.
These captives were Yoshiqu Katsu's thanks.
In order to show the importance of Yiqu Sheng's intentions, Xianshan specially selected these fifty people one by one from thousands of captives.
Xianshan walked up to one of the captives, looked at the man who had cowered and lowered his head and had not dared to speak, and sighed and said, "Father, why didn't you speak when you saw me, do you really want to become a shepherd slave of the Yiqu people?" ”
The captive's body shook, then he suddenly looked up and punched Xianshan's head hard.
As soon as the fist arrived in front of Xianshan, it was easily intercepted by Xianshan with his hand.
This man is indeed the Aries King.
"Xianshan, you damned traitor, rebel!" The Aries King stared at Xian Shan viciously, his eyes were very fierce, and he looked eager to crush Xian Shan's bones and scatter ashes.
Xianshan looked at his father with a slight pity in his eyes: "Father, I have already told you that Zhao Guo is invincible. As it turned out, I was right. ”
Although the Aries King's face was blackened with black ash, no expression could be seen in it, but a deep resentment could be heard in the bruises on his forehead and the almost hysterical tone.
"Rebel! Someday, this king will ...... you"
The Aries King's body shook suddenly, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
A sharp sword tip pierced out of the Aries King's chest, and a drop of crimson blood on the tip of the sword was extremely eye-catching.
The captives around them let out exclamations, and a blank space formed around them in an instant.
"You ......" The Aries King stared at Xian Shan and slowly fell to the ground.
Xianshan looked at Tu Xian, who was standing behind the Aries King, and couldn't help but shake his head: "He is my father after all, and you just kill him in front of me like this?" ”
Tu Xian calmly put the long sword back into its scabbard: "The alternation of the old and new wolf kings is always accompanied by killing, isn't it?" If he lives, you and I will never be at peace. ”
Xianshan raised his tone slightly: "Tu Xian, we are now from Zhao Guo, and we are no longer the evil wolves on the grassland!" You can't look at things like this in the same way that you do on the prairie. ”
Tu Xian shrugged his shoulders: "Okay, okay, dear Zhao Guoren Xianshan, if you must think so, then the sword just now should be regarded as a farewell to the past." ”
Xianshan shook his head, with a helpless look on his face: "Sometimes I really don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing to know a friend like you. ”
Tu Xian snorted, obviously a little dissatisfied with Xianshan's words: "Of course it's a good thing, if it weren't for me, you idiot would have been made into a bone wine glass." ”
Xian Shan pursed his lips, and seemed to be quite disdainful of Tu Xian's words: "If it can be made into a bone wine cup after death, it is actually an honor!" You must know that the nameless will only be thrown on the grassland, and the corpses will be eaten up and reduced to food for wild wolves. ”
Tu Xian said: "You started talking about the grassland again, you must know that we are now from the Zhao country!" ”‘
Xianshan: "...... Well, then again, where are you going to go after this battle, join the army? ”
"That's right!" As soon as Tu Xian said this, he immediately came to his senses, and after a smile, he said to Xianshan: "I will sign up after I return to the city, I want to become an armored cavalry, and one day in the future, I will personally lead the armored cavalry to charge into battle and become a majestic general!" What do you think? Why don't you join the army with me? ”
Xianshan shook his head, rejected Tu Xian's proposal, and then squatted down and lifted the body of the Aries King, which had begun to gradually become stiff, on his shoulder: "I am tired, now I just want to return to my settlement with my wife and children, plant the fields and graze, and quietly wait for the call of the gods." ”
"Tsk, if you really don't have ambition, Xianshan."
"Then I wish you the ambition to die a glorious death on the battlefield, and I will choose a cemetery for you in advance."
"By the way, why did you carry your father's corpse? You should leave him here, ** attributing to Heaven is the best ending for the people of the steppe. ”
"Idiot, we are now from the Zhao Kingdom!"
In the midst of this question, the two of them headed for the east with the forty-nine captives behind them, where a city called Dingxi City was quietly waiting for their arrival.
