Chapter 422: Revenge with Straightforwardness
At the end of summer, in the valley of the Alai Mountain, a huge team migrated along the valley from the southwest to the northeast of Yellowstone, this long army had tens of thousands of ragged slaves, which were also mixed with a large number of cattle, sheep, horses, livestock and large bags of baggage, maintaining order was more than 10,000 cavalry, riding on their sides, trying to escape or weak and backward were mercilessly 'shot' by them, the breath of death shrouded the valley, the atmosphere of terror was suppressed on the slaves, and numbly striding forward was their only choice.
Nuru was unfortunate enough to be one of tens of thousands of slaves. At this moment, he is remorseful, regretting that he has gullily believed in the 'bewitchment' of the great cannibal, so that he has caused a great disaster. Last year, he escaped from Ningyuan City to the country of Gulu, bringing the news of the fiasco back to the tribe, the tribesmen were frightened by the strong strength of Ningyuan City, and they thought that they would follow the big cannibal to get a piece of the pie, but unexpectedly encountered a hard bone, the big cannibal's teeth were all gone, and he escaped without a trace, and he couldn't take care of them at all.
With trepidation, Nuru's tribe spent a worried 'spring' day, and just when everyone thought they had been forgotten by Ning Yuan's iron horse, revenge came! Tens of thousands of cavalry appeared before them without warning, and the punishment of Nuru's tribe was the same as what they thought when they set out for Ningyuan City last year, and the retribution was unpleasantly reflected in them: the recalcitrant were slaughtered, the old and weak were killed, the 'women' and children were robbed, their wealth was plundered, and the strong men were forced into slavery.
Under the city of Ningyuan, Nuru had seen the strength of the enemy horse, he had already been frightened and did not dare to resist, and only thought about escaping, but the war horse of the enemy horse was much faster than him, and like most of the people, he became a prisoner. The burning and looting did not stop, the cavalry from Ningyuan City swept almost every corner of the Gulu country like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, the territory of the Gulu country was a mess, the dead died, the fall fell, the 'wool' felt was burned, the cattle and sheep were plundered, and the wealth was plundered, like hell on earth. The king of the Bone Kingdom was even forced to flee to the territory of the Great Cannibal.
Some people wept and sorrowful, some rejoiced and laughed, in stark contrast to the desperate expressions of the slaves of the Bone Country, the soldiers of Ningyuan Iron Cavalry were all elated, this war codenamed "Hunting" was easier than the actual hunting, but the results were much more fruitful, and more than 50,000 slaves were obtained. Women and children will all be driven into the mines, and the more the mines produce, the more the soldiers will share the profits, and the mules and horses will carry large bags of gold and silver on their backs, as well as hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep, and they will also record an account in their military books, increasing their wealth. The fly in the ointment is that because of the urgency of time, General Hudu chose to go out in the summer, rather than when the cattle and sheep were the most 'fat' and beautiful in the autumn, otherwise the cattle and sheep would be more 'fat' and beautiful, and because of this, he also let go of the mountain-based Five Senses Hidden Country. But it doesn't matter, the general is about to return from the Tang Dynasty, and in the autumn he will go to the country of Shi, a sheep that is much fatter than the country of Gudu, and by then, the harvest will be even greater.
In the valley, the rapid sound of horses' hooves attracted everyone's attention, temporarily breaking the two distinct moods. A horse came in the opposite direction and stopped in front of the main general.
"General Hudu, the general has arrived in Huangshi!" The scout's voice was so excited that it was heard by the soldiers around him.
Then, in horror, the slaves watched as the enemy horsemen suddenly erupted into a frenzy.
"The Admiral is mighty!" "The Admiral is mighty!"
The majestic and loud roar echoed in the valley, and the aftermath lasted for a long time.
The deep voice even faintly reached Huangshi and drifted into Li Huaitang's ears.
"These crazy people!" Li Huaitang smiled. At noon, he arrived at Huangshi, with him there were more than 1,000 horsemen, he came first, caught up with the huge caravan that set off first before the "jade" and "gate" closed, and walked for more than a month after the convergence, before coming to Huangshi, just met the eagle cavalry scouts who were on guard here.
"General, they have gained a lot!" Hu Yijian did not hide the envious look on his face.
Hu Yijian didn't realize that his attitude was that he was eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, a typical example of wanting both fish and bear paws. aroused Tie Niu's jealousy: "I can't compare to you, two hundred times, plus two beautiful girls!" ”
Tie Niu is right, during the trip to Luoyang, Hu Yijian was rewarded, and he also gained Xiao Xue Hui's heart, and "won" countless pairs of fiery eyes.
Speaking of Xiao Xue Hui, Liu Meiren resented Li Huaitang, Xiao Xue Hui was recognized by her as an adopted 'daughter', according to the etiquette, Xiao Xue Hui should call Li Huaitang his father, and Li Huaitang, as a father, actually rewarded Xiao Xue Hui's sweetheart, Hu Yijian, the leader of the Shenlong Gang.
Rules are rules, feelings are feelings, as the maker of rules, Li Huaitang will never allow rules to be easily destroyed by feelings, and the initiator has no future? Yoo's protest ended in vain.
Watching countless trophies pass in front of him, not everyone felt excited, Li Jingzhong's face 'revealed' a 'look' of disdain, and his evaluation of Ning Yuan's iron cavalry was: "A group of robbers!" ”
To Li Huaitang's surprise, the prison army sent by Li Longji was Li Jingzhong, who went to Ningyuan City in the name of escorting Princess Broken Leaf to marry Li Huaitang, and Wang Zhongji was just one of his mercenary soldiers. Out of the desire for war, Wang Zhongsi strongly requested to go to Ningyuan City, and it is the dream of every hot-blooded man to recover Broken Leaf Town, he wants to experience this war firsthand, and obtain proud feats through this brilliant victory.
Li Huaitang was not far from Li Jingzhong, and Li Jingzhong's disdain happened to fall into his ears.
"Maybe the chief manager Li doesn't know yet, my Ningyuan Iron Cavalry just swept the 'sweep' of the Gulu Country, and they also participated in the siege of my Ningyuan City last year. Heaven is forgivable, self-inflicted sins can't live, don't look at them pitiful now, if it weren't for my strength being strong enough, I'm afraid that when Ningyuan City is broken, our fate will be even worse. War is fair, and it has its own iron laws, and if they fail to get what they want, then they will have to bear my revenge, otherwise, everyone in the world will think that I am easy to bully, and they will come to 'disturb' me every once in a while, and if my luck is bad one day, will I not become their prisoner? ”
The soldiers on the side all thought it was and nodded continuously. Wang Zhongsi said solemnly: "Zi said, repay virtue with virtue, and repay grievances with straightforwardness." Sympathy is superfluous, and to treat the enemy is only a Tang knife and an iron hoof, and if they are scared and hurt, the world will be at peace. ”
Li Jingzhong was bored, laughed a few times and then fell silent, no one could see what he was thinking.
Li Huaitang ignored Li Jingzhong, he cast an appreciative look at Wang Zhonghe, the eldest husband should behave like this, curry favor and compromise cannot be exchanged for peace and respect, the enemy's arrogance is often fueled by his own forbearance, and it is more in line with his own interests to show the true 'color' of the husband under the heavy fist.
All the way from Fengxiang, Li Huaitang and Wang Zhongsi have a lot of 'friends', the two are young and vigorous, and they have a common characteristic, that is, they are bold and adventurous. After discussing the respective battle examples of both sides, the two of them hated each other late, and there was a bit of sympathy between heroes. Li Huaitang immediately invited Wang Zhongsi to be his military general, and Wang Zhongsi did not refuse, and readily agreed. When he arrived in Huangshi, he saw the posture and appearance of Ning Yuan's iron cavalry, and Wang Zhongsi admired Li Huaitang's strategy for governing the army even more.
As for the use of mercenaries, Li Huaitang's plan is to disperse them into the Ningyuan Iron Cavalry, the Ningyuan Iron Cavalry is not special, it has its own set of standards, and the treatment of mercenaries is no different from their corresponding positions and the same Ningyuan Iron Cavalry soldiers.
After making a simple 'exchange' with the generals such as Hudu, and understanding the general situation, the two sides joined forces and marched towards Ningyuan City.
In a few months, Ningyuan City has changed a lot, more buildings have been erected in the city, and the city has become more tidy, because of the extensive use of coal, and there is no hay and livestock dry manure like a hill in front of the 'door' of every household in the past, and the unpleasant smell has disappeared.
Neither people nor people, and one and a half little ones greeted their loved ones. Ye Ji has recovered from the moon, holding the "meat" and "meat" Xiao Mu Tian out of the "door" to look at the eyes and "desire" to wear and wait for the husband in his heart, Xiao Mu Tian has been laughing for many months, teasing and giggling. Su Xiaoniang's stomach was high and her expression was very aggrieved, and standing behind her were An Luo'er and 'Bo' Sishan, who were full of resentment. Because he was worried that Su Xiaoniang would ride out of the city to meet him despite the dissuasion, Li Huaitang deliberately entered the city in a low-key manner, and the soldiers and civilians in the city thought that it was just Ning Yuan's iron cavalry who went out to fight and returned triumphantly, and only when he saw the general did he exclaim that he was running all over the city. Li Huaitang has long become the pillar of the hearts of the military and people in the city, and when they see him, people's hearts are more steady.
The reunion after a long absence is a touching scene, Su Xiaoniang's pear 'flower' brings rain and tears, accompanied by constant resentment, and the pink fist is like raindrops on Li Huaitang's sturdy 'chest'. Bo Xing's negative words could be heard by the generals around him, and the soldiers were looking at the stars in the morning sun.
Su Xiaoniang's complaints, as well as An Luo'er and 'Bo' Sishan's grudges, made Li Huaitang baffled.
"Humph! Still want to deny it? The fox 'spirits' have all been brought back! An Luo'er was angry, and pointed to Ji Niang and Feng Niang, who were following Liu Meiren, and scolded her.
"Fox 'spirit'?" Li Huaitang looked back, and sure enough, two foxy images fell into his eyes, he didn't care much about it before, but after being reminded today, he felt that An Luo'er described it very appropriately.
It took a lot of 'lips' and tongues for Li Huaitang to soothe the dissatisfaction in the hearts of beauties. However, when they heard that Li Huaitang had made a marriage with a young lady in Luoyang, and there were twelve pearls, the beauties began to be jealous again.
"Twelve pearls? Li Lang still wants to marry? "An Luo'er is very dissatisfied, she has not yet entered the 'door', but the competitors are seeing more and more, and no one wants to lose a favor from her husband.
"Twelve? Nonsense, something that the Jedi don't have! Swear? Okay, swear and swear......" Li Huaitang was snickering in his heart, who stipulated twelve? As long as you can do it, the more beautiful people you have, the more the merrier. Well, it seems that Ji Niang and Feng Niang are very lethal, and the evil eyes inadvertently looked behind Liu Meiren......
