Chapter 362: Punishment
He Rongbu was fully prepared to enter the fortress this time, with many soldiers and generals, and some family members also entered the customs with their husbands, carrying a large amount of property and gold and silver treasures.
When Jiang Long and his subordinates saw boxes of silver coins, their eyes were all straight.
Sixty-four chests, arranged in eight rows and eight columns, the lids of which were removed to reveal the treasures that were randomly stacked inside, of different shapes of gold and silver, but of no loose pieces, and of copper coins, which were not strung with ropes, were packed in boxes like a hill, and were held up with both hands, and fell to the ground with a clattering sound.
"It's all ...... Our? Turning Jianglong was ecstatic, he originally intended to ask a big official to do it, but at this time he just wanted to move everything in front of him.
"It's yours, if you can move out." He Rongbu is humane.
"Yes." Several people replied at the same time, and Chuan Jianglong smiled and said, "You can return the mount to us, right?" ”
Lord He Rongbu shook his head, "You are not allowed to use livestock, you can carry it yourself." ”
"How much can you bring?" Turning Jianglong was very dissatisfied.
"You don't have to carry it away, as long as you can carry it, it's yours, and how you take it out of the camp after that, it's up to you."
"That's pretty much it." Turning Jianglong smiled again, and said to his subordinates: "Brothers, everyone has heard it, today is desperate, and we have to carry a few more boxes, we will count on them for the rest of our lives." ”
Everyone responded in unison, took off their armor, rolled up their sleeves, and prepared to do a big job.
"You can get on your knees and get on all fours." Lord He Rongbu pointed out.
"Yes, that would carry more. When we leave, we must give a portion to the adults. Turning Jianglong immediately knelt down, raised his head and said: "Your Excellency can put treasure on our backs, please put more gold and less silver taels, and finally pile up copper coins, and we don't want wooden boxes." ”
Lord He Rongbu nodded with a smile, and seeing that everyone had knelt down, he nodded to the side, and a team of soldiers came out to carry gold and silver bricks.
Turning Jianglong's mind was full of shiny treasures, and he didn't even notice a group of spectators nearby, so he just reminded his subordinates: "Everyone stay closer, carry more gold and silver, and we'll divide it afterwards." ”
More than 30 people were tightly squeezed together, forming a long back, and every time they added a little weight to their bodies, they felt happy and felt that this trip was not in vain.
He Rong was willing to help by placing a few thin wooden planks on their backs to facilitate the stacking of items.
Shan He Rongqiang watched this scene from a distance, and said to the guests standing beside him: "Money is also a weapon, especially for you Central Plains people, so I brought a lot of them, and I want to use them to attack the city and break the wall, this can be regarded as a demonstration." ”
Lord He Rongbu on both sides laughed when he heard this, and Xu Ji said: "People who can be defeated by money, just think they are fierce enemies?" The Central Plains has been held to this day, and the people on whom it relies are not these people. ”
"So in addition to money, I also have hundreds of thousands of people who control the strings, as well as high-ranking officials and servants, beautiful servants and corporal Lixian, and the most powerful and invincible weapon in the world - spare you from death."
The laughter on both sides was louder, and Xu Ji just smiled and didn't force an answer.
In the distance, the backs of Chuanjianglong and the others were already covered with a layer of gold nuggets, and everyone was not satisfied, so they opened their mouths to urge.
More He Rong soldiers stepped forward to help, and gold and silver were like hail, and copper coins were like rain, pouring them on their backs.
At first, Fu Jianglong and the others shouted "no copper coins", but gradually they felt wrong, and their backs became heavier and heavier, but He Rongren had no intention of stopping, and dumped them at will, as if they wanted to bury them.
"Enough is enough, I don't want it!" Someone shouted, trying to stand up, but was stopped by a sharp knife, and after a little hesitation, he couldn't stand up.
Fu Jianglong vaguely felt uneasy, but still hopeful, and said to his subordinates: "Brothers, hold on for a while, and work harder to carry all these gold, silver and jewelry, and they will stop." ”
The crowd encouraged each other, and gradually the shouting subsided, and the infirm could not hold it back, and quietly lay down to be lazy, but the companions followed, and soon they all lay on the ground, but the planks and treasures on their backs did not become lighter, but increased rapidly.
Turning Jianglong finally sensed the danger and shouted: "I can't carry it, I admit defeat, we admit defeat, don't ...... gold and silver"
He Rongren just dumped it, and even his head was drowned.
Begging for mercy turned into screams, screams turned into wails, and the wails finally disappeared, and He Rongren still didn't stop and poured out all the contents of the box, which was the end.
He Rongqiang took a few steps forward, pointed to the pile of treasures, and said loudly to the clansmen: "The people of the Central Plains are just like this, these treasures were sent by them, and we will return them as they are." ”
He Rong people cheered in unison.
He Rongqiang switched to speak in his native language, impassionedly, and the cheers aroused were higher and higher.
Someone came to Xu Ji's side and whispered, "Does Xu Gongzi understand?" ”
Seeing this person in He Rong's camp, Xu Ji was not surprised, and said with a smile: "When did Zhou join the army arrive?" ”
"It's always been with the order."
Zhou Yuanbin is a wealthy merchant in Jinyang, and also the son-in-law of the Shen family, and the brother-in-law of Shen Tan, the king of Jin.
The Zhou family has been trading with He Rongbu for generations, marrying each other, like a family, and the Central Plains women who marry into He Rongbu are often considered to be the Shen family, but in fact, most of them are surnamed Zhou.
Xu Ji and Zhou Yuanbin were old acquaintances, and they were not polite, and asked, "What is Shan Yu talking about?" ”
"It is to the effect that you used to be greedy for possessions, and thought that gold and silver were the best things, but now you see, there is only so much that a man can bear, and any more will be crushed to death. You will not bring silver and gold with you when you die, neither you can feed your wives and your children, nor your horses, nor put them on your body for warmth. Why did He Rongbu grow? It's our horses, our bows, and our ambitions, all of which we can carry with us all the time. The Central Plains has been in decline for a long time, two hundred years ago, the grassland was not peaceful, and the various departments were fighting, and now the He Rong Department is unified outside, but the Central Plains is divided again, which is a godsend...... Probably these words, does Xu Gongzi still want to listen to them? ”
Xu Ji shook his head, He Rongqiang's ambition was even greater than he expected.
Zhou Yuanbin himself was half of He Rongren, so he didn't take these words seriously, and said with a smile: "When Shan Yu said that he wanted to sacrifice to the sky, Xu Gongzi was shocked." ”
"Fortunately, I've experienced this kind of thing before, and God didn't want me, probably because I didn't taste good enough."
"Hehe, Xu Gongzi really loves to laugh. Why is Xu Gongzi here? Shan Yu's eldest wife guessed that Xu Gongzi was here to separate He Rongbu and the Shen family. ”
Xu Ji pointed to the pile of silver coins in the distance, "I accidentally fell into the hands of thieves and was sacrificed here by them. ”
"Nothing else?"
"I'm not a courtier on either side, so why should I participate in the battle between the heroes?"
"That's what I said to Shan Yu's wife, she ...... Forget it, don't talk about it. ”
"Shan Yu's two sons are very cute."
Zhou Yuanbin's eyes lit up, "Those twins are the hearts and souls of Shan Yu and his eldest wife, Shan Yu said that they are God-given sons, and my sister also became eldest wives because of them." ”
"That's Zhou Senjun's sister?"
"Cousin...... Shan Yu finished speaking, let's talk later, Xu Gongzi rest assured, Shan Yu has other arrangements for you, and he won't ...... for the time being" Zhou Yuanbin shut up.
Shan Yu returned to the tent, his wife and two children had already left, he sat cross-legged on the thick blanket, and the adults sat on both sides, and someone motioned for Xu Ji to go to the front and stand with He Rong Pingshan.
Shan Yu continued to lecture, his tone was stern, no one cheered this time, they all listened quietly, the content of the reprimand seemed to be related to He Rong Pingshan, Shan Yu occasionally glanced at it, Pingshan's face became more and more red.
Shan Yu changed to the Central Plains dialect and said: "King Wu is yours, let him surrender willingly, you are still the king of Zuo Shenwei of our He Rong Department, if you can't, just follow his example, hand over the throne, go to be an ordinary cavalryman, and be promoted, but don't say that it's my younger brother." ”
He Rongpingshan's face was so red that he couldn't be more red, and he said a lot of words in his native language, thinking that it was confession and gratitude.
Shan Yu said to Xu Ji again: "Pingshan is my closest cousin, my father died early, he grew up with me since he was a child, and he is also one of my best friends, so you say that he is not worthy of Princess Tiancheng, this is not right." But he is indeed unworthy, or even unworthy, of being the king of He Rongbu now, so I give him a task, whether it is difficult or easy, it is all up to you. ”
"If Shan Yuruo really likes this cousin, let's arrange another task for him." Xu Jidao.
He Rongqiang laughed, "It also let King Wu know that He Rongbu's southward journey this time brought more than just elite soldiers and strong generals. ”
He Rongqiang got up and left, and all the adults stood up to see him off, and then left with him, many people came to He Rongpingshan's side before leaving, muttering quietly, I don't know if they were comforting him, or giving him advice.
He Rongpingshan had a gloomy face, and replied to everyone.
When the person was almost gone, He Rongpingshan also walked out, stopped after a few steps, and said bluntly: "Follow me." ”
He Rong Pingshan lived in an ordinary tent, which was part of his punishment, but his servants were still there, and there were quite a few of them, most of them were standing outside, and there were only two people in the tent, who were cleaning.
"Get out." He Rongpingshan took away the servants, sat down cross-legged, looked at Xu Ji coldly, and said after a while: "You can also sit down." ”
"I have a companion who hasn't been accommodated yet, and I can't sit down."
"Hey, didn't he go to carry gold and silver?"
"Nope."
"If he doesn't die, someone will place him, so you don't have to worry about it."
There were no beds in the tent, there were blankets everywhere, Xu Ji chose a piece to sit down, he was not used to cross-legging, but kneeling, this is the sitting posture he practiced in the valley of thought.
Neither of them spoke, and after a long time, He Rongpingshan said, "Are you willing to surrender to me?" ”
Xu Ji shook his head.
He Rong Pingshan was not surprised at all, and lowered his voice slightly, "Shan Yu didn't plan to give me a way to live." ”
"I think Shan Yu cares about you very much."
"Three days, within three days, if I can't get you to surrender, I will simply kill you, how about being a cavalryman? I can still make meritorious deeds and regain my throne. ”
He Rong Pingshan blew out the candles, fell to sleep, and after a while, sat up and said, "Why don't you sleep?" Are you going to assassinate you, or are you afraid of death? ”
"I haven't eaten all day and I'm hungry."
