"(Ethnic language) Honorable His Royal Highness King Su......"

Gu Yigu, the patriarch of the Gray Horn tribe of the Qiang tribe, finally brought the latter's adopted son Bosil to Zhao Hongrun according to Bitatu's request.

This move surprised Zhao Hongrun.

You must know that the small and medium-sized tribes that were once attached to the Gray Horn tribe surrendered to their Wei army today, and Zhao Hongrun could accept this move, but Bosil led a large number of soldiers from the Horn tribe to surrender to the Wei army, which really surprised Zhao Hongrun.

"You're Bitatu's adopted son?" Zhao Hongrun asked Bosil in the Zong language.

"Yes." Bosil bowed his head and said calmly: "I was originally from the Qi tribe, and when I was eight years old, my tribe was attacked by the Hu people, and it was the great patriarch who adopted me. ”

From the side, Gu Yigu explained: "The tribe of Bosil (in the language of the Shan people) is located in the north, and the Hu people have been invading our Sanchuan day by day, and it is also since then that Bitatu has gathered many small and medium-sized tribes to fight against the strong Hu people in the north at that time. Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhao Hongrun, and added stubbornly: "Maybe the respected King Su can't agree, but for our Qiangjiao tribe, Bitatu is a hero, and he led us to defeat the powerful Beidi Hu people. ”

Zhao Hongrun glanced at Gu Yigu, who seemed to be a little trembling, pouted and chuckled: "Heroes are heroes, this king has deprived you of your freedom, but he will not control your thoughts." What's more, in the usual sense, the hero of one side is a thorn in the side of the hostile forces that they can't wait to deal with quickly. …… It's like the king in Bitatu's eyes. ”

Nearby, the patriarch of the Lun tribe, Lu Balong, and other tribal patriarchs in Gong and Luo also laughed when they heard this.

It is undeniable that they are in a very good mood, after all, once upon a time, the Karma tribe was high in their eyes, but now, these people have become prisoners, and it is a wonderful feeling to see them have to bend down and salute.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Bosil corrected solemnly: "The Great Patriarch does regard King Su as a thorn in his side, but it is not because King Su has angered the Great Patriarch, but because the Great Patriarch feels that the tribes in the Land of Three Rivers will lose their freedom in the true sense. ”

"Freedom in the truest sense of the word...... What?'

Zhao Hongrun looked at Bosile, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

You must know that although it is different from General Sima An's attitude towards the people of Sanchuan, Zhao Hongrun also has the intention of "destroying his race and destroying his inheritance", but his plan is quite gentle, not through bloodshed, but through subtle cultural transmission, gradually drawing the people of Sanchuan into the big family of the Wei people, so that they can become a Wei people.

From this point of view, it is true that the people of Sanchuan will no longer have true freedom.

"What's the matter with the wound on your face?" Zhao Hongrun smiled and diverted the topic.

Bossile touched the blood on his face that slanted through the bridge of his nose, and said calmly: "It is the mark left by the great patriarch's mistake with the whip of the horse. As he spoke, he briefly explained to Zhao Hongrun the time when he persuaded Bitatu to stop attacking Yucheng at night and collect troops back to Henan City.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun was surprised and asked curiously, "You see a flaw?" ”

Bossil shook his head and said, "I don't see a flaw in it, I just think that the gods will not favor us so much, and suddenly give us a chance to reverse the defeat when we are in the most difficult and embarrassing time. ...... 'There are often hidden traps under the seemingly delicious and harmless pieces of meat', well, this is a proverb of our people. ”

Zhao Hongrun smiled and said, "We will say this, 'If something goes wrong, there must be a demon'." ”

Bosil smiled faintly, bowed his head respectfully, and said: "(Zong language) I am willing to lead the warriors of Qianjiao to conquer for Wei for ten years, in exchange for the honorable King Su mercifully allowing us to live." ”

"......" Zhao Hongrun and Sima An exchanged glances, and then asked, "Is it what Bitatu meant?" ”

"Yes." "The Grand Patriarch knew that he had been defeated, but he did not want these valiant warriors to die with him," said Bosille. …… We have been fighting with the Hu people in the north for more than ten or twenty years, and if all the warriors in the north are destroyed, the Hu people in the north will definitely take advantage of the situation and invade the north of Sanchuan. After that, he raised his head and said: "I think, the respected King Su wants a complete and peaceful Sanchuan, not a Sanchuan that is broken under the iron horses of the Hu people in the north. ”

After saying these words, he looked indifferently at Lu Balon and the other patriarchs of Gong and Yu Land, and these patriarchs looked a little scrupled with their expressions.

You must know that although the Wei people hate the Qiang people, it is undeniable that for the Qiang and the Qiang people, especially the Qiang people, the Qiang people are shouldering the burden of defending their neighbors, such as the Beidi Hu people who fought against the Qiangjiao, and the Ba country where the Lingjiao and Qiang tribes fought against each other.

It is precisely because of these large tribes of the Qiang people sitting on the border of Sanchuan that the Qiang people can live in peace and tranquility.

And now, if Zhao Hongrun really doesn't make some responses, then it won't be long before the Hu people in the north will gather to invade Sanchuan, after all, the weak eat the strong, in these places far away from the Central Plains, that is the most important survival criterion.

"Where's Bitatu?" After thinking for a moment, Zhao Hongrun asked with a smile, "Won't he try to surrender?" Maybe this king will spare his life because he cares about the overall situation! ”

When Bo Xile heard this, he said, "The great patriarch thinks that King Su will not spare him. ”

Zhao Hongrun snorted and laughed lightly, and then asked Gu Yigudao: "Is there anyone else in Henan City?" ”

Gu Yigu nodded and said, "(Zong language) Yes, Bitatu's relatives, brothers, and some are unwilling to surrender to the respected King Su...... Stubborn Qiang. ”

"......" Zhao Hongrun looked at Gu Yigu thoughtfully, and then drove his mount slowly towards the south gate of Henan City.

looked left and right, and hurriedly followed the guards.

Slowly coming to the bottom of the city, Zhao Hongrun looked up at the ancient city that had once become the capital of their Wei kings, and shouted loudly in the Zong language: "This king, it is the commander of the Wei army who is fighting against you this time, King Ji Run!" …… Tell Bitatu to come out to see the king! ”

At this time, on the city wall, there were still some "stubborn people who were unwilling to surrender to the Wei army" in Gu Yigu's mouth, and several of them had even raised their longbows, and the guards around Zhao Hongrun were shocked to quickly raise their shields to protect Zhao Hongrun.

Unexpectedly, Bitatu appeared on the city wall, and the latter unbelievably stopped the hostile behavior of those people raising bows and arrows.

"Yo, it's really out......

Zhao Hongrun looked at Bitatu who appeared on the tower of the city gate with some surprise, made a few easy-to-understand gestures, and said with a smile: "Have you noticed that our position has changed?" ”

He was satirizing Bitatu for showing off his might under the city when he led the army to the city for the first time.

I have to say that the original Eighth Prince, now His Royal Highness King Su, is quite resentful.

"Humph!" Standing on the tower of the city gate, Bitatu didn't seem to look very good, and said coldly: "Don't be complacent, the boy of the Wei Kingdom, the people of the Qiangjiao will not give in!" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Hongrun was stunned, his face showed a little strange color, and blurted out: "But those tribal patriarchs and warriors under your command have already surrendered to this king......"

"They betrayed me! Those shameful traitors! Bitatu jumped on the wall and cursed.

『……』

Zhao Hongrun frowned slightly, and then said lightly: "This king said that this king will lead the army of Great Wei to level your Qianjiao tribe!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Bitatu angrily scolding from the city wall: "I should have killed you when I was in Heji. ”

"Hahahaha."

Zhao Hongrun laughed, and then, after taking a deep look at the iron-faced Bitatu on the city wall, he snorted lightly, turned his horse's head and returned to his army.

"Your Highness?" Zong Wei Shen Yu was surprised to find that His Royal Highness's face did not seem to be very happy.

There is no reason for this, obviously ridiculing the enemies who once offended the Wei State, why is His Royal Highness so interested?

Thinking of this, Shen Yu asked in a low voice: "His Royal Highness doesn't seem to be happy, he obviously fulfilled his oath, and he also ridiculed that arrogant guy......"

Zhao Hongrun glanced at Shen Yu when he heard this, and said lightly: "If it were you, when the general trend was gone, would you stand on the city gate tower and wait for the enemy who had a holiday to come and taunt you?" ”

"......" Shen Yu opened his mouth and was speechless.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun snorted coldly, revealing an expression of low interest, and said wistfully: "The reason why Bitatu is on the city gate tower is because he guessed that this king would go over to ridicule him. …… If his ugliness at the end of his rope can please this king, this king will naturally no longer pursue those Kamakra warriors who have surrendered to this king......" At this point, he pursed his lips and said displeasedly: "What fun is there in taunting a guy who deliberately panders to you because he wants something? ”

Shen Yu and the other guards suddenly realized.

"Shhhh That's why I hate smart people! Exhaling indignantly, Zhao Hongrun returned to the army sullenly, and then, after taking a deep look at the gate tower of Henan City, he shouted in a deep voice: "Siege!" ”

Hearing this, Wu Ji gave an order, and three hundred catapults that had already been prepared, loaded with oil barrels, launched a series of bombardments against Henan City, as if they were going to bury the entire city in flames.

Looking at the burning Henan City in an instant, the Qianjiao soldiers who had surrendered to the Wei army looked shocked, and the leader of the Yi tribe, Ordmo, the commander of the Yanjiao army, Ulubatu, and the patriarch of the Wubian tribe, Chelarhe, were also shocked and difficult to recover for a long time.

Because in their opinion, the weapon of war possessed by the Wei army was really terrifying.

Among the people with different expressions, Zhao Hongrun looked at the Henan city that was buried in the sea of fire, and muttered a sentence in his mouth.

"Who are you looking down on? Bastard thing! (To be continued.) )
