"General, can't 10,000 war horses be exchanged for 5,000 Wuhuan people to return home safely?" Qiu Liju still didn't give up, it seems that in his earlier arrangement, these war horses still wanted to leave a few to go back to the grassland, when it came to this "10,000 horses", the teeth were gritted heavily, probably, a Han general like me who didn't know how to live or die was born, far from his calculations.

I do not answer, mercy, not for the enemy.

Kneeling on the ground, Qiu Liju knocked on the ground with his forehead, raised his head, and his forehead was full of blood, "The general is a man of promises, if he can get a word from the general, tens of thousands of old and young people in Liaoxi Wuhuan will be greatly gracious." ”

"You can afford me." I smiled, but there was a pang of compassion in my heart, a person who could trap himself here for his own people, and he didn't let me be moved, this damn compassion!

Of course, this is just sympathy, and I still don't answer. Zhang He, who was silent and speechless beside him, suddenly looked up at me, with a look of unbearability on his face, but he didn't say anything, but I understood what he meant. The tragic battle for hegemony of the Three Kingdoms has not yet begun, and Zhang He, the future fifth son of Wei, still has a lot of sympathy.

"You have two choices, first, now you have held me hostage and forced me to comply; Second, go back! "It's not helpful to say more. Even though I almost felt the urge to say yes a few times, in the end reason prevailed. I am not reborn in the Tang Dynasty, when the Han people were strong, the Han people could be kind, they could be generous, they could slowly influence the Hu people, and it was not a big deal to be thick and thin. But in the troubled times, treating foreign races favorably is tantamount to erecting a potential enemy for yourself, which is a crime, a crime against your own people. How is Liu Yu? Grace to Fu Zhuhu, Saiwai Hu people are grateful for their grace, history said that the Youzhou Zhuhu who have rebelled for many years will no longer rebel. But I doubt that if there is no Gongsun Zhan who is powerful and powerful over there, how many Hu people will take this kindness seriously? Not to mention far away, the later Yuan Cao fought for hegemony, and the robbery was not still these Hu people? How many of them have eaten the grain of the Han people and spent one cold winter after another, how can they forget the great kindness of Liu Zhoumu with such a little effort!

Send Qiu Liju away, as for whether he fights or surrenders, but I can't control it. Zhang He's face was still a little depressed, and I smiled: "Jun Yi thinks Qiu Liju is a character, shouldn't I force him so much?" ”

Zhang He was stunned, but he didn't look at me, he only looked sideways in the direction where the Wuhuan people left outside the city, and sighed slightly: "Young General, although Qiu Liju is a Hu man, he is also a hero. The last general just didn't understand why the major general had to put him to death and hurry up? Fighting on the battlefield, injuring 1,000 people and injuring 800 ......"

"Yes, one thousand people hurt and eight hundred self-harm." I waved my hand for Xu Shan and the others to avoid, "However, we can't subdue these Wuhuan people, they are not of our race, and their hearts will be different." In this battle, even if I lose 800 myself, I can't let the Wuhuan people leave like this. "As a general, Zhang He won't think deeply, but I can't let him be estranged in his heart.

Zhang He still looked puzzled, this is a rare serious conversation between me and him.

"If you and I were born in the Emperor Wu Dynasty, what if we let these Wuhuan people go, if he dares to rebel again, we can kill him again. It's just that this time is different from the past, the Han Dynasty has decayed, and the world is about to change, and the chaos is coming. We relented and let go of these Wuhuan people today, who knows, in the future, when the Central Plains is in turmoil, will they give us a knife in the back when we are most vulnerable? When Emperor Yuan, Wang Yan and Fan, the rewards are incalculable, when Wang Mang, the five Huns are opposed, Yin Jian is not far away, how can you and I not guard against it? ”

"Will the world change?" Zhang He looked at me in surprise, the situation is difficult, Zhang He may have a deep understanding, but when it comes to "the world will change", he may have never considered it when it comes to the extraordinary martial arts.

Dahan, four hundred years.

I have no hesitation about Zhang He's ability, he is a general that my father admired in history, but it is the first time I have talked to him about words like "the world will change".

I wanted to pat Zhang He on the shoulder, but when I raised my hand, I realized that he was much taller than me, forget it.

At noon, I held a military meeting in the city, and I ordered to gather the rich men of Lunu, collect nearly 3,000 horses in the city, and hand them over to the third uncle and Gao Ran to arrange and distribute them in a unified manner, and quickly upgrade the infantry army that can ride horses in the city to a cavalry army, as the main force to monitor the movements of the Wuhuan people. In the past, it would have been even more difficult for me to let these iron roosters take some contributions, but when they heard that the Wuhuan people had come to ask for surrender, there were more than 10,000 good horses outside the city, and when they had to surrender the Wuhuan people, they would collect them and sell them to them...... One by one, they suddenly smiled happily, and even the horses used by their own wives and ladies to pull the carts were contributed, and they praised the little country minister for their divine might......

Of course, I can't hear such a scene, and I will hand over all the matters to Zhong Xuan to deal with.

On the other hand, I had to be on guard. The reason why Qiu Liju had no choice but to ask me to surrender was nothing more than that I suddenly seized Lu Nu and cut off Qiu Liju's supply supply, and it was freezing in the middle of winter, and people could kill horses and eat when they were hungry, but the horses couldn't even turn over the grassroots, and they couldn't recover in one breath. If Qiu Liju accidentally let him take a bite and occupy Lunu, as long as the Wuhuan people take a break in Lunu, with his more than 10,000 good horses, he will be free to go in the future, and it is a big deal to escape back to the prairie, and it is not impossible to be troubled for more than ten years like history.

Facts have proved that Qiu Liju is not less mindful, in the afternoon the Wuhuan people outside the city suddenly bombed the camp, a thick smoke billowing out, when Zhang Fei and the people arrived, in addition to the four thousand Wuhuan old and weak who laid down their weapons and were waiting to surrender, there was only a place of red snow left, but there were not many dead bodies, and there were not many dead horses. I still underestimated Qiu Liju.

In fact, Qiu Liju brought 10,000 people and more than 20,000 horses from outside the Saiwai, and after a few blows from his father and Gongsun Zhan, there were more than 10,000 horses and 7,000 people left, but it was this large number of people and horses that made his supply very tight. The nomads claimed to be able to go on horseback for a year, drink some mare's milk when they were hungry, and fight for thousands of miles in a row. People are fine, but horses can't just drink the wind and swallow the snow! In this cold and freezing day, Zhongshan continued to snow heavily, there was nothing for horses to eat in the field, Qiu Liju did not fall, his cavalry could only become infantry, and the Wuhuan "infantry" in Jizhou was only a dead end.

Based on such considerations, I am not afraid that Qiu Liju will not be compliant. Qiu Liju did give in, but when he "surrendered" with him, there were only 4,000 Wuhuan wounded, sick, old and weak, and 5,000 horses left. Others, according to Qiu Liju's words, were taken away by his nephew Tatun.

In other words, in addition to the 5,000 horses that I used as "life money", I have to support Qiu Liju for these 4,000 wounded, sick, old and weak.

"His grandmother's dare to play tricks on us! Major General, kill all these Wuhuan people! Listening to the quartermaster's report on the statistical form, Xu Li's face was indignant, and his plan to upgrade his infantry to cavalry was in vain.

Qiu Liju knelt on the ground, his face calm. His weapons have long been handed over, and there are cold and shining Han soldiers on all sides, so it can be said that Qiu Liju at the moment is just a piece of meat on the chopping board.

I ignored Xu Li, if I called him Brother Xu before, he still accepted the words calmly, since the third uncle came to Lunu and stunned Hu Tiegun with one punch, these people looked at me with more invisible fear in their eyes.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll regret it?" I motioned to Qiu Liju to get up, Xu Li could see such a small means, I didn't believe that Qiu Liju didn't think about whether it was possible for me to retaliate against him, and I would not consider the fate of the four thousand people who stayed behind.

Qiu Liju smiled miserably and said, "Staying doesn't necessarily mean that you will live, and you don't necessarily have to die if you escape, I have to make some preparations for my people." ”

"Aren't you afraid of my anger?" I have some curiosity, Qiu Liju is not afraid of it, he is not the only one here. Although, in my heart, I had no intention of killing at all. It's not that this is ominous to kill prisoners, but if I kill all these Wuhuan people, who will dare to surrender to me in the future?

"When I first entered the city, if the general had agreed to me, I would not have dared to do so." Qiu Liju said lightly.

Honesty, it turns out that it is not a good habit either.
