Crying resounded all around him, and the frightened old and weak Xi Ren knelt in a pool of blood, and kept kowtowing to the samurai and begging for their lives. Li Xu didn't want to hear the crying, he didn't want to see the blood, he just wanted to find out the scout leader who led the team to attack and deceive him at that time.

It wasn't to avenge his companions, there was no hatred in his heart. He just wanted to ask why the other party attacked him and why he took the initiative to attack. Although Li Xu knew clearly in his heart that even if the scouts did not attack, this war was bound to happen. However, he wished he could hear a different answer, that he could find a little relief.

Even if it's a little bit false.

"Detachment, detachment!" The hundred Su Sibu warriors assigned to Li Xu cheered and rushed back and forth behind Li Xu. Wherever there was enemy resistance, Li Xu had to rush over. As soon as Ganluo's figure appeared in front of the enemy, the enemy's resistance was immediately weakened, and in the blink of an eye, it was extinguished on the spot by the samurai of the Susibu tribe.

"Detachment is the bravest warrior!" Sussier looked at the young man who was gradually moving away, and his eyes were full of appreciation.

"Detachment, detachment!" The warriors cheered Li Xu's Turkic name, full of pride.

In addition to the cheers, the wails of the women and children of the Xi nationality who have lost their relatives and homes are particularly harsh.

It was still Xu Dayan who understood the thoughts of his good brother, and saw that Li Xu was a madman who rushed to wherever there were many people, and knew that it was the first time for him to experience such a large-scale battle, and he was confused by the unjust soul out of his body during the tribal vendetta, so he hurriedly rushed over with a spear, and shouted in Chinese in his ear: "Spring and Autumn Unrighteous War, if we lose today, the end will not be better than this!" ”

A word woke up the person in the dream, and after hearing this, Li Xu really stopped rushing around. Although the illusion of finding an excuse for his actions by the scout leader that day was shattered in an instant, the expression on his face was no longer so confused.

The grassland is so big, and the rise of one tribe must step on the bones of another tribe. For Su Si Fuli, A Silan and other warriors of the Xia clan, they don't have as much burden in their hearts as Li Xu. Xu Dayan's use of a serial plan to defeat the Suotou Xi tribe is actually equivalent to pulling back the various Xi tribes near the Crescent Moon Lake on the brink of death, otherwise, once the Suotou Xi people are relieved in the nearby grassland, with the population of the department and their ability to understand the war, waiting for the fate of the underpopulated Xia tribes will either be conquered as slaves or deported to the Gobi in the west to fend for themselves. At that time, the Suotou Xi Department will do the same thing as the Zhuxia Coalition Army today, and there will be no mercy

The samurai, wielding their swords, swept through the camp of the Suotou Xi people. The Xi tribe, driven out by the Turks from the Suotou waterfront, was very wealthy, and although it had lost its vitality in migration and war, the elders' homes stored more luxuries such as bronze, jade, and stone carvings far exceeded that of any other Xi tribe. In particular, the jade carvings and leather weavings mixed with gold threads taken from the elders' homes are almost ingenious.

The Xi people were already famous for their exquisite handicraft in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and after so many years of development and accumulation, their skills have been perfected. Many of the items at that time, if the elders were willing to donate them to exchange prisoners of war with the Su Si Ministry, any one of them could dazzle the eyes of those hillbillies in the Zhufei coalition who had never seen the market. Sensei said that the more than 800 prisoners of war who were detained in the Su Si Department could be exchanged for safe and sound even if the number was doubled.

It's a pity that the military of the Zhuxi Alliance didn't know that Xi Ren's collection was so rich, and they didn't ask for gold, silver and jade to exchange for prisoners of war. And the elders of Suo Touxi have never had the idea of their own treasures, and they will not take the initiative to lose their family property for the shepherds under their rule. Now, the elders can only lie on the ground and beg bitterly, hoping that Su Sixier and the others will show mercy after emptying their property, leaving their own family with their lives.

The uncontrolled slaughter and plunder lasted for two nights and one day, and it was not until the morning of the third day that Su Sixier, persuaded by Xu Dayan and Li Xu, ordered the samurai to stop taking revenge. By this time, the samurai had already been combed by the warriors within a hundred and fifty miles of the Suotouxi camp. At present, almost all of this large tribe, with a total population of more than 10,000, has been captured and only grazing cattle in farther places, and the 40 or so herdsmen who heard the news of the war and moved their families have fled into the Gobi Desert. Since then, since the Northern Wei Dynasty, the five tribes of the Xi nationality, which were famous in the grassland, have become four and a fraction, and it was not until more than 20 years later that the situation of the five divisions slowly recovered with the help of the Khitans.

"I know that you Central Plains people are soft-hearted, but this is the grassland, and things must be solved by the rules of the grassland!" Su Si Sier looked at the mountain treasures that his subordinates had enshrined, and explained to the two young people of different races with great satisfaction. "If I don't allow them to loot, no one will want to fight for the tribe next time. They shed their blood for their tribe, and they will return it with the blood and tears of their enemies! ”

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and pulled it indiscriminately, dividing the treasure in front of him into three equal parts. Pointing to one of them, he said, "One will go to the father, one will go to me, the patriarch, and the other will be divided by your brothers." The rules on our grassland, whoever has the most credit, who gets the biggest share. ”

"The younger generation doesn't dare to be greedy!" Xu smiled widely, and politely rejected the kindness of the Patriarch of Xi'er. The purpose of helping Su Sibu to refine the army was just to find an opportunity to confirm what he had learned over the years with the practice of leading the army, so that he could establish a greater career when he returned to the Central Plains in the future. As for the wealth and treasures of Su Sixier's fingers, it is indeed not eye-catching for the Xu family, whose stores are all over Henan and Hebei.

Li Xu's gaze was dull for a moment. He didn't refuse, and he didn't dare to laugh at it. For a child like him, who came from a ruined merchant background, Sucsir had given more treasures than he had ever dreamed of. But the smell of blood on that treasure made him chill.

"I'm here to avoid the war!" Li Xu thought silently in his heart, "But I brought a disaster here!" ”

There was no righteous war in the Spring and Autumn Period, and there was never unity on the grassland, so the justice of any war was relative. In other words, no war is just. Either I kill you, or you kill me, this kind of thing is commonplace. If you want to avoid being killed by others, you have to pick up a knife to kill, and there is no third way for any tribe to choose. Li Xu is not a rigid person, he understands the helplessness of the Zhufei coalition army. also understands that Su Si Si Sir is kind to him, and if he changes to someone else, the leader of Sir may not be willing to take a third of the spoils to share with him. But his ears were filled with the desperate wails of the Mist people, each of which was like a whip, whipping him over the marrow, making him want to shiver.

"What's the matter, Attachment, are you sick?" Su Sixier was surprised by Xu Dayan's politeness, and suddenly saw Li Xu shrinking on the side, and asked with concern.

"Maybe it's the wind after the bloody battle!" Xu Dayan stretched out his hand and touched Li Xu's forehead.

People who are new to the battlefield do not know how to protect themselves, and it often happens that they catch a cold after a bloody battle because they are busy taking off their leather armor and scrubbing their bodies. The disease can be mild or severe, and a strong person can recover in a few days, while a weak person may die.

Su Sixier heard Xu Dayan say this, and then looked at Li Xu's haggard face, and was surprised. took a few steps forward, grabbed his wrist, and while squeezing the blood vessels in his wrist hard, he shouted loudly: "Come a few people, hurry up and prepare hot water for the bath." Let Elder Eto prepare a few live sheep to exorcise evil spirits tonight! ”

"Uh, uh!" Li Xu let out a low cry as if he had woken up from a nightmare and raised his head. He had seen the healing methods of Elder Eto, boiling a large pot of herbs, stones, and plaster, and pouring them into the mouths of patients. After drowning the sick unconscious, he poured sheep blood on his body while shaking the cow fan bone with a brass bell on it. The people of the Su Si Department believe in this kind of treatment method, but in the eyes of Li Xu and Xu Dayan, this method is similar to punishment, and good people have been treated by him several times, and nine times out of ten, they have also been cured to death.

After being frightened, Li Xu didn't dare to continue to be stupid. looked at Su Sixier, who was full of concern, and then looked at Xu Dayan, who was reproachful in his eyes, smiled wryly, and replied: "Late, the junior is fine, no, don't bother Elder Eto." I just thought these treasures were really deserved! That's why I was stunned for a while."

"Really?" Sussier asked incredulously. In the past, the Su Si Department won battles with the outside world, and the elders exposed and insulted each other because of the distribution of loot, and it was also common for each other to fight, which made him, the patriarch, a headache to death every time. It was the first time he had seen Xu Dayan's indifferent refusal and Li Xu's stupid appearance.

Therefore, the Patriarch of Xi'er couldn't guess that Li Xu's appearance in a daze just now was disgusted with the blood on the treasure. waved his hand, pretending to be angry and said: "The first battle won the enemy's Daqi, the second battle cut down the Lifu Da Jin, and the holy wolf every day to boost the morale of everyone, which of these three is not really credited?" At this time, let's stand outside the tent and ask, who dares to grab this first credit with the two of you? If you two don't take anything, shouldn't I, the patriarch, take all these treasures? ”
