The Tuni warriors on the horse threw down the sharp blades in their hands one after another, in fact, they had never heard of the name of the big black man in front of them with a face full of steel needles, and they didn't even know the existence of the Great Chu Empire. But they know very well in their hearts: one against two can fight one, and one against ten...... Forget it! It can be seen that having a sober mathematical mind in life can save your life at critical moments.

Looking at Zhai Longbiao, the king of Guanxi who had entered the big tent, Xuanwu General Zhang Baiqian hurriedly greeted him.

"Lord Xi, there are only one hundred and ten thieves of the Qinglong Gang, why do you need to go out in person! There was no danger, did you? ”

Zhai Longbiao grinned and exhaled with a hot smile and said: "I haven't been on the battlefield for a long time, and Lao Tzu has already itched his hands." I thought I could always open the meat this time, but the fuck didn't even have a chance to do it! For some reason, the remnants of the 100th Blue Dragon Gang were taken care of by dozens of grassland barbarians, which is really unlucky! ”。

Zhang Baiqian was slightly stunned when he heard this, frowned and asked, "What did the grassland barbarians do when they traveled a long distance to my Qingzhou Mansion?" You killed them all? ”。

Zhai Longbiao threw the horsewhip in his hand on the table, shook his head and said, "What's the fun of slashing and killing a group of people who don't know how to resist?" I tied them all up, escorted them back, and dragged them to the market to behead them collectively another day, so as to deter people who dare to harbor ill intentions towards my Dachu. ”

Zhang Baiqian raised his hand and stroked his long beard under his chin and muttered: "I advise the prince not to be in a hurry, first find out what they are doing in Qingzhou, and what kind of festival they have with the Qinglong Gang. ”

Zhai Longbiao paused, raised his eyes and said: "It's okay, you can just go and judge the affairs of these mothers-in-law and mothers yourself, finish asking early, don't delay our all-you-can-drink at night!" ”。 As he spoke, he turned around and walked out of the tent.

Zhang Baiqian hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said: "Lord Wang, you are the highest military and political chief of Qingzhou Mansion, and you have made great contributions to the elimination of the remnants of the Qinglong Gang, so let's interrogate it together, and the province will explain it to you afterwards." ”

Zhai Longbiao waved his big hand and said, "You do things, I don't worry!" I said Brother Baiqian, you are good everywhere, except for the amount of alcohol, and the mother-in-law. With my temper, the bunny bunnies of the Blue Dragon Gang a long time ago should have finished playing, you have to be patient and wait for them to commit a crime and then catch them all. These grassland barbarians asked us in vain, and they dared to go to Qingzhou and cut off their heads directly, forgive them for never coming again in the future! ”。

Zhang Baiqian smiled bitterly and said: "The prince's words are wrong, governing the place is not as happy as going into battle to kill the enemy, everything needs to be considered." Even if you fight on the battlefield, you have to use your brains more, which I learned from General Guan. ”

Zhai Longbiao looked up at the vast blue sky outside the tent, sighed and gritted his teeth: "Speaking of the sixth brother's kid, don't say that I took the time to come and see his fourth brother, I haven't had a good drink with that rabbit cub for a long time, I really miss this kid!" I don't know if the other person who went out like a dog to envoy the Northwest Ma Jiajun has returned. ”

"Ah......h

As soon as I looked up, there was a fork in the road ahead. Guan Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to rush back to the barracks. After such a long time, the people arranged before leaving secretly investigated the mastermind behind the assassination of Ling'er, there must be some eyebrows, right? Moreover, seeing that the weather is gradually getting warmer and there are signs of melting ice and snow, the new army led by General Yan Lao is waiting for the country, and it may come out of the nest at any time and swarm in, so it is necessary to guard against it!

"Get on your knees". The Tuni warrior who was proficient in the Central Plains language was pulled into the Chinese army's tent in a daze, and was kicked to the ground inexplicably.

He struggled to raise his head and saw two tall, imposing, unsmiling generals glaring at him coldly at the same time.

Zhang Baiqian opened his mouth and said: "You have committed a capital crime by trespassing on my Dachu Qingzhou Mansion and fighting with local gangs to kill people. You don't need to be tried to open the knife! But the prince of my family has the virtue of a good life, you just need to truthfully explain why you came to my Qingzhou, and how you and the Qinglong Gang have reached the point of your life and death. Maybe Prince Zhai will open the net and let you live. ”

Hearing this, the originally dull gaze of the Tuni tribesman suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly knelt forward and climbed two steps, and said on his back: "I said, I will say everything, I just ask the prince to let us live!" ”。

Then, like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, how the Great Khan of the 1510 General Grassland Alliance sent envoys to the Tuni people to negotiate, how the two sides turned against each other, how the leaders were eager to buy knives and guns, how the Qinglong Gang coaxed them to secretly poison them, etc., etc., and so on, Zhai Longbiao and Zhang Baiqian, who listened, were stunned for a moment.

The man was escorted down again, and Zhang Baiqian stroked his long hair and bowed his head silently. Zhai Longbiao tilted his neck and glanced at him, and said with a smile: "What kind of mess is this, look at it, I asked in vain, right?" I'll have to pull them out and cut them down another day! Let's go, it's getting late, you and my brother go drinking. ”

Xuanwu General Zhang Baiqian did not answer, stood up and paced slowly, thoughtfully.

Zhai Long Biaoqi said: "I said Brother Baiqian, what do you think?" ”。

Zhang Baiqian stopped, turned to look at Zhai Longbiao and said, "I'm thinking, if General Guan is here, what will he do if he encounters this situation?" ”。

Zhai Longbiao spread out his big hand and grinned: "The sixth brother's stomach is bad, who can guess him!" You can't just let them go for nothing and give them another batch of knives and guns, right? Isn't this the same as letting the tiger go back to the mountain?! ”。

Zhang Baiqian's eyes lit up and said, "The prince said it well! Let the tigers return to the mountains, let them fight with each other and kill each other. ”

Zhai Longbiao shook his head and asked confusedly, "What does Brother Bai Qian mean by this?" Can you be clear? ”。

Zhang Baiqian hurriedly took one of his arms and walked to the table, pointed to the map spread out on it and said, "Lord Wang, please see, this is our Qingzhou Mansion, this is Feihong Pass, and the grassland tribes are active in this area. At the beginning of spring, we plan to go all out to take Feihong Pass, if the grassland tribes attack in a big way when we have not yet established a foothold, our soldiers are sleepy and tired, I am afraid it will be difficult to cope for a while!

And letting the tigers return to the mountain, let them kill each other, and have no time to take care of Feihong Pass, is the best policy. The art of war is cloudy: long-distance and close attack is also. ”

Zhai Longbiao raised his hand and touched his beard, rolled his eyes and thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "Cheng!" Done! Brother Bai Qian learned a little bit from the sixth brother's bad stomach! ”。

Zhang Baiqian raised his head and frowned: "However, the illegal sale of firearms to the grassland barbarians, this crime is not small, and it is necessary for the prince to report to the saint and Dazai, and we can only act." ”

Zhai Longbiao waved his big hand and said, "It's not proper." will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected! What's more, the road is far away, and a month has passed back and forth, and the daylilies are cold! You and my brother have decided this matter, and I will report it to the two brothers when I go back. ”

Zhang Baiqian smiled and hugged his fists and saluted: "The prince is still responsible!" So much better. ”

Riding on the back of a bumpy horse, looking up at the cloudless blue sky overhead, and smelling the fragrance of the grass that was getting closer and closer, Mandu Rattu felt a lot of emotion in his heart: this long journey of nine deaths and one life was finally a complete merit.

When he was in prison, he was desperate and waiting for death. The clinker suddenly brightened, and the two generals of Da Chu took them out of the cell with a kind smile on their faces, and invited them to a feast of wine and food.

During the feast, the general, who had an extremely kind and kind countenance, told them that the money had been received, that the necessary swords and guns had been prepared for them, and that they had been loaded into the carriage. and generously promised to send troops to escort them safely out of the border. At that time, Mandu Ratu and the others were almost moved to tears.

When seeing them off, the two sides were reluctant to say goodbye in tears. The kind-faced general personally handed Manduratu a letter asking him to pass it on to the Tuni chief. And promised in person that Da Chu is willing to become eternal friends with the Tuni people, but if there is danger, say hello, and the Da Chu army will definitely help!

In gratitude, Mandu Ratu patted his chest and promised on behalf of the tribal leader: From now on, the Tuni will never be an enemy of Dachu! When the Tuni tribe overthrows the powerful rule of the steppe Khan, the tribal leader will personally come to conclude an alliance with the Great Chu, wishing the two families to be close to each other and reconcile forever.

In a dark, cold prison camp on the outskirts of the capital of Daqi, a group of ragged and mentally exhausted prisoners slowly passed in front of a jailer in shackles.

The swaggering jailer scanned the group with a cold gaze, occasionally speaking ill of each other.

After a few moments, he angrily stepped forward and kicked a diminutive prisoner in the ass, yelling, "You cripple, can you fucking move faster?" The skin is loose again, and you still want to eat Lao Tzu's whip, don't you?! ”。

The diminutive prisoner turned his head angrily and glared at him, a whisker pouting under his jaw like a half-cut rat's tail.

"What do you see? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu pulled out your eyeballs and stepped on the crisp?! ”。 The jailer cursed in a vicious tone.

The prisoner was slightly stunned, bowed his head and sighed helplessly, limping and moving his feet with difficulty.

Back in the stinking and dirty cell, the prisoner leaned his head weakly against the earthen wall and licked his chapped lips.

"Big brother, are you thirsty? I'll bring you a bowl of water. On the grass in the other corner, a slightly immature voice said.

At the sound of footsteps, the young man walked to the cell door, picked up a broken bowl, poured half a bowl of water from a black clay pot, and brought it over.

The prisoner against the wall glanced at the boy with grateful eyes, took the broken bowl and drank it in a gulp, like drinking a sweet spring.

After putting down the broken bowl, there was some brilliance in his eyes, and he glanced at the young man and said, "Little brother, my name is Hou San, have you heard of it?" ”。

The boy shook his head in confusion.

Hou San straightened up and panted and said, "It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it, do you want to learn from a teacher?" I'm willing to take you as a disciple! ”。

The young man looked the strange cripple up and down suspiciously, and asked, "Are you very capable?" But why did you end up in such a field again? ”。

Hou San swallowed two mouthfuls of foam in embarrassment, raised his voice and said, "I am highly skilled, and I can do anything from heaven to earth." If you worship me as a teacher, you will have endless money and endless glory and wealth in your life. Believe me! ”。

The young man couldn't help but look Hou San up and down a few times, and did not answer, but moved his gaze out the window.

The ice cubes on the eaves outside the window fell to the ground from time to time, "crackling" and shattering, and a faint touch of green appeared on the ground.

The young man turned his head to stare at Hou San's gray dirty face and asked, "If I worship you as a teacher, are there any conditions?" ”。

Hou San stretched his neck eagerly and said, "There are no conditions, after you finish your studies, you can help me do one thing." ”

"What?" The boy asked curiously.

Hou San's eyes suddenly swelled with a faint bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth hatefully and said, "You have to help me kill someone!" ”。
