Chapter Fifty-Seven: Accepting the Captives First Arrival in Lantian
In addition to some of the Xiongnu captured this time, they were mainly horse slaves and sheep slaves who helped the Xiongnu take care of horses, cattle and sheep. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info There are more than 200 people who were Han Chinese who were plundered by the Xiongnu, these people grew up in the Xiongnu, became slaves of the Xiongnu, fought with their masters, saw that the Xiongnu were defeated, took the opportunity to lay down their weapons, and surrendered on the ground.
There were only about 100 real Huns, and all the wounded were mended on the spot, and no one wanted to waste their own medicine for the Huns.
Liu Shi decided to take a look, and went to the prisoner camp accompanied by Dian Wei, Shi Lian, Cao Xing, and others. These captives had long been divided into three groups, and when they saw Liu Shi coming in, their eyes showed horror and admiration.
Liu Shi glanced at these three groups of people with a majestic face, like sharp knives and arrows, and saw that these people shrank up intentionally or unintentionally, and even moved backwards.
Dian Wei took a step forward and shouted loudly to the captive: "Listen to all of you, you people should be put to death for committing crimes against me. But my family has the virtue of a good life, and I will spare you your life. Remember, you will all be the slaves of my family from now on, listen carefully to your words, or you will be executed immediately, and you will not be spared. Did you hear that? ”
This Dian Wei man was originally majestic, and his voice was heavy, and the roar shook the leaves of the trees nearby, and these people were already wearing few clothes, and they were so cold that they were shivering. Dian Wei was more ferocious than Liu Shi when he killed people, and under a halberd, it was difficult to leave a living mouth, and it was all skin and bone cracks. Many people here have seen it, and this roar frightened many people to the ground at once. Caused a riot.
Liu Shi saw it, nodded slightly, and saw that Dian Wei finished speaking, and then he spoke: "My Han pays attention to etiquette, governs the country with benevolence, and governs the family with filial piety." In the future, as long as you honestly obey the command and arrangement, you will be well fed and warmly clothed. After making meritorious contributions, he can still accept the official position of the court, and take a wife and have children in my Han Dynasty. If anyone doesn't have a head and wants to go against me, that's the end. ”
After speaking, he pulled out the Qinghong sword, and with one sword, he cut off a tree with a thick bowl mouth, which shocked the Hun captives and couldn't dodge.
Dian Wei stepped forward, caught the fallen tree trunk, and then plunged it into the ground, frightening the Huns with big eyes and full of fright.
Yan Rou understood the Xiongnu dialect and repeated Liu Shi's words in the Xiongnu language.
The men nodded in horror and buried their whole heads in the ground, not daring to look again.
Because Liu Shi gave most of the military merit to Wu Chengshou, when distributing the property, Liu Zhen and Su Shuang got equal shares: 160 good horses, 150 sets of armor, 200 bows, and 500 arrows; Two hundred knives, swords, spears, and spears, and fifty cattle. Three hundred sheep, five hundred prisoners of war, and about thirty pounds of gold and silver. It's a bumper harvest. Liu Shi exchanged more than 200 sheep and more than 20 cattle for 50 good horses from the locals.
After careful identification, it was found that these 200 or so Han slaves were indeed sincerely obedient, Liu Shi temporarily distributed more horses to them, let them ride one by one, and those 100 or so Hun captives, Liu Shi now dare not believe it, can only let them eat a small half full every time, and drive the carriage and cattle and sheep.
In order to walk quickly, Liu Shi asked people to make a few wooden shelves to load all the remaining dozens of sheep into the carriage, so that Liu Shi's convoy reached more than 600 people and more than 30 vehicles, of which the cavalry accounted for half.
Farewell to Wu Chengshou and the people of Yanmen, embarked on the journey to Shangluo, just out of Yanmen City, more than a dozen teenagers rushed behind him, Liu Shi stopped the convoy, only to see the people who came to Liu Shi and knelt down and said: "Lord Liu is mighty, more than a dozen of us are willing to go to Shangluo with Lord Liu, and I wish the Lord to take him in." ”
Liu Shi said with a smile: "I'm going to Shangluo to suppress bandits, are you still willing to go?" Besides, you are still young, do your parents agree? ”
One of the teenagers raised his head and said, "Adults are not much older than us, adults are not afraid, and we are not afraid." I went to follow the adults, and my parents agreed to them. Parents said that following Master Liu had food and could practice martial arts. After that, he glanced at Liu Shan beside Liu Shi.
Liu Shi noticed something was wrong and asked Liu Shandao, "What's going on?" ”
When Liu Shan heard this, he jumped off his horse and knelt on the ground and said: "After the victory, when these teenagers saw us, they came up to inquire and asked why we were all so interested. I complained to them that I had followed Master Liu a few years ago. Lord Liu treats people with kindness and kindness. Not only did it keep us fed, but it also taught us to read and practice martial arts. ”
Liu Shi said: "Liu Shan, get up!" Then he said to the boys: "I can follow me, but I must endure hardships and obey the rules." Violation is punishable, and even killed. Aren't you afraid? ”
The young men in that class said in unison: "As long as you follow Lord Liu and have food, you can practice martial arts." We are not afraid of anything! ”
Liu Shi pondered for a while, and saw that the young people in that class were all looking at him sideways, looking worried, and said with a smile: "Okay! Promise you. If you are full, Wu will also make you so that you can't crawl, and you have to continue practicing the next day, are you afraid? ”
"Don't be afraid!" The teenagers said in unison.
"Good! Let's go with the team! Liu Shi said.
The boys hurriedly got up and ran towards Liu Shan's horse.
By the time we arrived at Lam Tin, it was early February. Lantian is the starting point of the north of the 700-mile Wuguan Road, and it is difficult to walk 30 miles south from the county seat of Lantian to enter the Wuguan Road.
After Liu Shi came to Lantian and did not rush to Shangluo, he stopped at Lantian.
Liu Shi's arrival caused a sensation in the entire Lantian County, so many people and horses, and there were still some Huns if you took a closer look.
Although Liu Shi changed the outfits of these people on the road, they could still distinguish from their appearance, especially their voices, which made the difference even greater.
As soon as they entered the city, Liu Feng, Xiang Xiong, and Liu Hu came to greet them. I was also stunned to see Liu Shi bring so many people.
Liu Shi asked Liu Feng to find a place to camp for them first, there were too many people, and it was difficult to find an inn.
They stayed directly on the side of the road on the way, only needed to buy grain, rice, vegetables, and cook all by themselves, and divided the more than 600 people into a team of 600 people, a team of more than 10 people, Dian Wei, Gao Shun, Cao Xing, Yan Rou, a clan brother Liu Cheng brought out from his hometown, and a fellow villager Shi Quan. Shi Jian is still the captain of the selection team, Liu Zhen is the captain, and Su Shuang takes a few people to take care of the grain and grass. Liu Shan commanded the ten personal guards selected by Liu Shi. The total number of people reached six hundred and thirty-five.
Liu Feng hesitated for a moment and said: "We have purchased a manor in Lantian, which is relatively large, and we should be able to live in it." At that time, I heard that Gongzi said that he would recruit troops in Lantian, and I thought I should recruit a few hundred people! I was worried that I had no place to live, so I found a big yard, which was only two miles away from the city. In this county, according to the meaning of the real housekeeper, only a three-open and three-entry shop was purchased. ”
"Oh! Then you can take us to see it, and if you can live there, let's live there! "Let Liu Feng lead the way.
After a while, I arrived at the manor purchased by Liu Feng, which was big enough, bigger than the manor in Xincheng, covering an area of nearly twenty acres, with a high wall of a large courtyard, and only five courtyards and five entrances in it. But the front or back courtyard is three stories high, and there are enough 100 houses. In front of the courtyard there is a martial arts training ground, and behind it is a large garden. However, the garden was in ruins.
Liu Zhen asked, "How much did it cost?" ”
Liu Feng said: "There are a lot of thieves in this Lantian area, and the manor outside the city is simply worthless, this manor plus the surrounding more than a dozen acres of land is only 200,000 yuan in total." Not as expensive as the shops in the county? Not afraid of jokes, after we bought it, haven't lived in it yet? More than 40 people live in shops. Didn't Childe say that he wanted to recruit soldiers, and I didn't want to buy it yet? ”
Liu Shi smiled: "Not bad! Ask someone to fix it, and these hundreds of people can live in it. It's a small village fort. This is an old point, but it is ready-made, and it has a certain defensive effect, and the garden behind it is used as a horse pen. Not bad! These things will be left to Mr. Su. ”
Hundreds of people worked together, and in half a day, all the horses drove into the back garden, and the people also lived in this fort. Liu Shi found a room upstairs in front and lived at random. In this way, the front courtyard was covered by Liu Shi, Shi Jian and other personal guards.
Not long after settling down, the Lantian County Commander came to visit with a small sedan chair and more than 30 guards.
