Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Morning of Escape from Suffering
Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Morning of Escape from Suffering
Shanrong, one appeared in the history books, almost wiped out the inheritance of the Zhou Dynasty as a barbarian, and forced the King of Yan to ask Qi Huan Gong for help, and finally Qi Huan was almost trapped in the mountains because of the Northern Expedition to Shanrong, fortunately there is Guan Zhong, a terrible anti-heaven boss with a terrible amount of knowledge reserves, he used the instinct of Ma Neng to recognize the way home, and finally rescued Qi Huangong.
At the same time, it also left the popular allusion of 'old horse knowing the way'.
At the same time, it caused the direct destruction of the Lone Bamboo Country.
In this way, it can be explained clearly, after all, if Shanrong really originated from Tu He Kingdom, there is no reason why it can develop against the sky in the later stage, forcing Yan Guo to be helpless.
But if it is the remnants of the dog Rong who broke through the Hojing that year, it will be explained clearly, because that group of dog Rong is not only a minority group, but also the Shen State lineage that caused the destruction of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, these people not only have a strong army, but also various technologies and wealth in the Central Plains.
So it is obvious that Tu He should have been destroyed, and Tu Tan's vein is a survivor.
Tu Tan knelt on the ground with a bitter face, "Tu He has long been replaced by Shanrong, please Emperor Mingjian." ”
"Tu He royal family is left with you?" Wang Xu asked.
"In the minister's generation, there are only six people left in Tu He." Tu Tan choked suddenly.
Wang Xu sighed and helped Tu Tan up, "It's also bitter for you, and the six people don't forget the hatred of the extermination, and the other five are all placed in Donghu?" ”
"Donghu is composed of five major departments, Donghu Department, Ling Branch, Wujian Department, Shanrong Department, Baidi Department, the population of the five departments is hundreds of thousands, there are 200,000 people who control the strings, and there are countless tribes." Tu Tan said in a deep voice.
"No wonder you are sure to incite Donghu into Yan." Wang Xu smiled, "Mo Kui once said that the other three were all merchant ministers back then. ”
"More than 400 years have passed, and they still remember Lone Bamboo, and the ministers don't know." Tu Tan shook his head silently.
"What is the relationship between the five departments of Donghu?" Wang Xu asked again.
"Together." Tu Tan said hatefully.
"One day, I will help you restore the glory of Tu Hebu." Wang Xu patted Zhang Tutan on the shoulder.
Tu Tan's body trembled, and he knelt on the ground, "Tu He Yong is a merchant minister, and Tu Tan has nothing else to ask for, and he is willing to serve the emperor before and after the saddle." ”
"It's enough to say this once." Wang Xu smiled slightly, and then looked at the sea again, "Mining is the only way to go through Lin Hu's bondage, if it is really as Yu Min said, Lin Hu is a tribe of a thousand people, then there will not be too many warriors in charge of bondage, but there may be many slaves." ”
"The minister will take Qingzi and fifty of them to rob all the people who are bound by Lin Hu." Tu Tan swore and said.
Wang Xu shook his head, "Qingzi, their combat effectiveness is too poor, and they can't ride horses, if the other party comes with a hundred people, you can't stop it at all." ”
"There is the emperor's trap and crossbow, and the minister has confidence." Tu Tan continued.
"It's not something to have faith in." Wang Xu smiled, "What we need is to try to gain time as safely as possible, in addition to the Yu clan, there are other tribes around here, and it will take at least two months for the team to return, that is, we have at least two more time." ”
Tu Tan frowned.
"Leave it to the Zhu family." Wang Xu said with a smile.
"The Emperor...."Tu Tan wanted to speak and stopped.
"We are allies." Wang Xu smiled.

After eating and starting to reflux acid in his stomach, Wang Li finally reluctantly put down the crab, got up and stretched, looked at the wild people who were greedily gnawing on the crab in the distance, and pouted with some displeasure.
If it was in Xianyang, such a slave-like savage would have been caught and beaten by him if he dared to eat the same thing as him.
But now, he seems to have lost this mind, and after staying with Wang Xu for a long time, he has begun to slowly lose the difference between slaves and people.
After searching around, he finally found Wang Xu on the reef in the distance.
Due to the distance and the darkness of the night, Wang Xu's upright figure standing on the reef was as fleeting as a fairy in the deep moon palace under the light of the moonlight.
Wang Li unconsciously narrowed his eyes and chuckled.
"Childe, gluttony hurts your body, why did you forget it again?" The Zhu family's slightly reproachful voice came.
Wang Li turned his head and looked at the Zhu family, as well as the people he brought over, and frowned, "This old man has figured it out?" ”
Sending away the Yu people who were looking at the crabs in the pot and about to swallow their saliva, the Zhu family smiled, "If it weren't for the emperor's kindness, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to figure it out." ”
Wang Li blinked, "That's right, usually after a leader like him is captured, he is basically killed as soon as possible." ”
"Therefore, although the emperor is resourceful, in some ways, he also seems immature." The Zhu family said with a smile.
"Mature?" Wang Li raised his eyebrows slightly, "Master refers to the way of royalty?" ”
"That's right, even if the savages are simple, they are still a collective of interests." The Zhu family nodded and said, "If you don't deconstruct the collective as soon as possible, there will be a lot of trouble after absorption." ”
"This question, I said that he is a woman, when Tu Tan and Mo Kui attacked us, I persuaded him to kill one of them, and as a result." Wang Li smiled and shrugged.
"Oh? Tu Tan and Mo Kui attacked you? The Zhu family narrowed his eyes, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
"Probably mainly him." Wang Li shook his head, "But now it seems that he is still the emperor." ”
The Zhu family frowned.
"There's a special power in him, do you feel it?" Wang Li asked.
"That's the illusion brought about by the identity of the envy and the unpredictable intelligence." Zhu Jia said in a deep voice.
"Maybe, but I still think it's different, at least it's all his credit that we can get here." Wang Li smiled.
The Zhu family smacked their lips, "If it weren't for us, Gongzi also thinks they would be able to come here?" ”
"Yes, but maybe it'll be slower." Wang Li chuckled and said, "Do you remember the ballista you tested two days ago, and the hand crossbow?" ”
The Zhu family frowned, recalling the powerful ballista they had tested that day, and they still had some lingering palpitations.
The Qin State has the most advanced armament in the world, but that kind of ballista is really unheard of, it can shoot a wooden stake as thick as a woman's waist, and easily shoot through an adult wild boar within fifty meters, this kind of killing weapon is indeed amazing.
Moreover, Wang Xu also involved a hand crossbow, although the shooting penetration and lethality are less than a stone bow, but it is light to carry, and the winding can be completed by a child.
Qin's crossbow was the most advanced in the Six Kingdoms, and it still required an adult man's hands and legs to wind it.
Hand crossbows and ballistas really opened the eyes of the Zhu family.
If there were really these two tools, Wang Xu would indeed be able to take those old, weak, sick and disabled people here slowly.
Thinking of this, the Zhu family suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem.
"I've been joking with him that he can't do without my support." Wang Li hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled a little indifferently, "But now that I think about it, our value will slowly disappear with time." ”
The Zhu family pursed his lips and did not make a sound.
"If we don't do something, we're really going to be, and we're asking for something." Wang Li stretched his waist, looked at the Zhu family and said with a smile.
The Zhu family shook their heads, "Even so, don't be presumptuous, our value is not only these fifty retainers, but you." ”
Wang Li raised his eyebrows slightly.
"If the emperor wants to gain a foothold in the land of Liaodong, it is impossible to leave the acquiescence of the Wang family." The Zhu family said with a smile.
Wang Li touched his chin and smiled dumbly, "Really?" ”
"But Childe is right, we do have to find something to do." The Zhu family said with a smile: "I got the news from the people of Yu, and the Donghu department responsible for the tax collection here is called Lin Hu. ”
"Lin Hu? Wasn't it destroyed by the Zhao State? Wang Li raised his eyebrows slightly.
"It shouldn't be that Lin Hu, it's just the same name." The Zhu family rolled their eyes, "That tribe has a population of more than 1,000, and there may be more slaves." ”
"A thousand?" Wang Li's eyes lit up, and he was eager to try.
"I'm going to wait here." The Zhu family said.
"Yes, as long as you stop the first batch of fetters, we can annihilate the small tribe of Linhu before winter." The light in Wang Li's eyes was even worse, and he licked his lips with some excitement.
"At the age of twenty-three, the general rode into Zhao with three hundred, attacked Wu'an at night, annihilated nine hundred enemies, and became famous in one battle." The Zhu family chuckled and said, "The tiger father has no dogs, I believe that the first stop of the son will be able to win." ”
"We can't get together 300 horsemen, but fortunately, the Hu people are not well-equipped, and there are no high walls to rely on." Wang Li said with a smile.
"At least tell the emperor that we are not here to eat and drink." The Zhu family also looked at Wang Xu on the reef in the distance and said with a smile.
Today is a day worth remembering for the Yu clan, today they tasted cooked food for the first time, and they knew that the sea demons that had been feared by them for several generations could eat it, and the most important thing was that from tomorrow, they would leave this ancestral land that they were not attached to.
For the people of the Yu clan, all the memories in the ancestral land are sad, because since they were born, they were those Donghu slaves who rode horses and surrounded animal skins.
The Donghu people not only robbed them of their food, fire, and tools, but also their fathers, brothers, and sometimes their mothers or daughters.
So they don't have any good memories of this ancestral land.
They also used to question why they had to endure these sufferings, and the shaman simply told them that they were cursed by the gods.
So they prayed to the shaman every day, praying that such suffering and curse could be ended as soon as possible, but piety did not bring the end of suffering, but in exchange for daily despair and disappointment.
In fact, they have long since disbelieved in the gods.
But when the man who lit the altar and wanted to take them out of their misery appeared, they began to believe in the gods again.
Because, the gods have really come!
When the first rays of the morning sun pierced the darkness and ignited the light, they took the first step away from suffering.
Looking at the man who is riding a horse and walking in the front, with a majestic figure and a warm smile.
The people of the Yu clan swore in their hearts that they would fulfill the vow they had prayed countless times for.
Dedicate everything to the gods.
Including life.
