Chapter 917: Shan Huan's Request
Shan Huan State, the original household is 27, the population is 145, of which Ding Zhuang is 47 people who can fight.
suffered such a catastrophe, there were only fifty-three people left in the Shan Huan Kingdom, and only eleven people left in Ding Zhuang.
Tang Ning's ears were full of the crying voices of women and children, and the only remaining people of Shan Huan Country were at a loss except for sadness on their faces.
The Western Regions are becoming more and more chaotic, and those big countries are too busy to take care of themselves, which causes the horse thieves in the Western Regions to be emboldened and begin to attack small countries like Shan Huan.
Although these benefactors helped them kill the horse thief, the lord of the country and several ministers had already died at the hands of the horse thief, and only these fifty old, weak, sick and disabled people were left in Shan Huan.
However, the horse thieves in the Western Regions are inexhaustible, and once they are killed, countless more will pour out.
Those of them who were lucky enough to escape the first catastrophe have no luck in escaping the second and third catastrophes.
The corpses of dozens of horse thieves were arranged in several rows, except for those who were killed by Lao Zheng, who later wanted to escape, and the dozens of people who were stopped by several elders could not escape death in the end.
They all died at the hands of the angry Shan Huan people.
Tang Ning did not stop it, the horse thieves are a cancer in the desert, their hands are stained with countless blood, countless caravans to and from the Western Regions have been slaughtered by them, these people only have killing and looting in their eyes, and they have lost the most basic humanity.
However, the horse thieves died, and the people of Shan Huan who died tragically in their hands could not come back to life, and the remaining people of Shan Huan could only save the last bit of Shan Huan's blood by taking refuge in a more powerful country, or going to Chen Guo's home in Guannei.
Tang Ning originally came here to replenish food and water, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing, and he didn't know what to do at the moment.
The corpses of dozens of horse thieves were placed there, Tang Xiaoxiao and Xiaoxiao's faces were white and terrible, Tang Ning asked the sand scorpion and others to burn them, in this climate, so many people died, and the corpses were not handled well, it was a great plague that spread throughout the Western Regions.
The remaining Shan Huan people also burned the bodies of their dead relatives, so that their ashes and the yellow sand of the desert merged.
After the Shan Huan country is an oasis, such a thing happened in the Shan Huan country, and it was not good for Bahar to discuss the matter of buying grain with them again, after replenishing the water source, he walked up to Tang Ning and said: "Childe, our food is still enough to eat for a while, or when we go to the next city, let's exchange it for food......
Tang Ning didn't want to spoil the sad atmosphere of the people of Shan Huan, nodded and said, "Let's go." ”
The group got on the camel and did not go far, when suddenly there was the sound of hurried footsteps behind them.
An old man walked forward quickly, knelt in front of Downing's camel, holding an object in both hands, and still whispering something in his mouth. The thing was square and looked like jade, but Tang Ning couldn't understand the old man's words, and he didn't know what he wanted to do.
He looked at Bahar and asked, "What is he talking about?" ”
Bahar looked at the old man in shock, licked his dry lips, looked at Tang Ning, and said, "He, he wants to ask Gongzi to be the king of Shan Huan......"
Tang Ning was a little surprised, glanced at the old man, and said in surprise: "But I'm Han." ”
Bahar's face showed joy, and he hurriedly said: "He said that Gongzi saved the Shan Huan Kingdom, and he is the king sent to them by the gods......"
Tang Ning shook his head, the reason why he let Lao Zheng make a move was because he couldn't look past the behavior of those horse thieves, and no one with a clear conscience would see death when he saw that kind of situation.
He has no interest in being the king of dozens of people in the desert.
He jumped off his camel and said to Bahar, "Tell him that I will not be their king." ”
The old man of the Shan Huan country asked Tang Ning to be the lord of Shan Huan, which had already surprised Bahar, and what he didn't expect was that Tang Ning actually refused.
Shocked to shocked, but he didn't dare to disobey Tang Ning's order, and translated his words to the old man.
When the old man heard this, his face changed greatly, he knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing to Tang Ning.
The rest of the people of Shan Huan Kingdom also rushed over, knelt behind the old man, and kept kowtowing, and several people's foreheads were cut by the hard sand and gravel, oozing a trace of blood.
This made Tangning a little confused, looked at Bahar, and said, "You let them get up first." ”
Lao Zheng walked up to his side and said, "As soon as we leave, they will stay here, and sooner or later they will be killed by new horse thieves." ”
Tang Ning actually thought about this problem, the Shan Huan Kingdom is too weak, and now there are only a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled left, they can't hold this oasis, and if they stay here, what awaits them is really only to destroy the country.
In fact, the best way is actually for them to move to Guannei, although Shan Huan is small, but the size is also a country, a country recognized by the Western Regions and Chen Guo, as long as they hold the seal of the lord of the country, ask Chen Guo for help, in the spirit of humanitarianism, the Chen State court will definitely set aside a place for them to ensure that their whole clan does not have to worry about food and clothing, but in that case, the Western Regions Shan Huan State will exist in name only.
Downing looked at him Bahar and said, "I can't be their king, ask them if they have any other place to go." ”
After Bahar conveyed Tang Ning's words to the old man, the old man showed a disappointed expression on his face, now the situation in the Western Regions has changed greatly, even horse thieves dare to attack these small countries like them, if they can't find the protection of the strong in the shortest possible time, the Shan Huan country will definitely completely disappear in the long yellow sand of the desert.
Although it is not without precedent for the Han people to be the kings of the Western Regions, if it were not for the time when the country was in the event of life and death, how could he choose this path.
However, even if he made up his mind, he was still rejected by others.
Although there are only more than 50 people in the Shan Huan Kingdom, it is also a country in the Western Regions recognized by all countries, and with the seal of the lord of the country, he can recruit his own troops in the Western Regions, and he can annex the ...... of the rest of the countries, and those who do this kind of thing without the seal of the lord can only be called horse thieves.
He sighed inwardly and said a few words to Bahar.
Bahar sighed, looked at Tang Ning with some regret, and said: "Childe, he said that Shan Huan is friendly with the Ugly Greedy Country, and wants us to send them to the Ugly Corrupt Country, and the Ugly Corrupt Nation will take them in, and they will also pay us some compensation." ”
He still has some regrets, if Tang Ning can accept the seal of the lord of Shan Huan Kingdom, then he is one of the thirty-six lords of the Western Regions, many countries in the Western Regions have been annexed, and his ranking can be higher, with his financial resources and strength, he will soon become a great power in the Western Regions and dominate one side......
The purpose of Tang Ning's trip was Xiao Wan, and he didn't want to delay the trip on the road, but if he let them go, the dozens of lives that he had saved just now would not last long.
Tangning looked at Bahar and asked, "Where is the country of Wu Greedy, is it far away?" ”
"Not far." Bahar hurriedly said: "The country of Wu is adjacent to Shan Huan, just a few dozen miles west of Shan Huan, just on our route, and the villain was going to go there to replenish the food......
Tang Ning nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let's stay here for a day first." ”
At this time, it was already a little late, and it took time for the remaining Shan Huan people to pack up their things, and Tang Ning and the others also needed to camp and rest.
Shan Huanguo is next to the oasis, and it will be much more comfortable to camp in the oasis tonight than in the desert.
During this period, the old man of Shan Huan invited them to live in their room, but Tang Ning politely refused.
Shan Huan had that kind of thing happening during the day, Tang Ning didn't want to trouble them anymore, besides, the desert at night, in addition to being colder, lying on the ground, looking at the stars in the sky, was also a different kind of enjoyment.
After today's incident, when the sand scorpion and the others set up their tents, they seemed to work harder, Tang Ning walked up to Bahar's side and asked, "What kind of country is the country of Wu Greedy?" ”
Bahar hurriedly introduced: "Hui Gongzi, the country of Wu is stronger than Shan Huan, there are more than 50 households, more than 300 people, and more than 80 victorious soldiers......
