Although Li Ang and Cambyses did not have the idea of fighting, but in the field, the soldiers still broke out into battle, but to Cambyses's surprise, in the battle of the rangers, he did not suffer too much, and in the confrontation for a few days, the casualties on both sides were extremely close, but he didn't know that the rangers sent by Li Ang were a mixed team of Helian Bobo's troops and the Hu veterans under the command of Murong Ke, and the real Great Qin elite scouts were not dispatched.

"Father-in-law, now there are more and more displaced people between our army and the Persian battalion, do you want to?" In the tent, Li Cunzhi reported to Li Ang about the situation outside the camp, and he held a vigilant attitude towards the Persian herdsmen who were driven out by Cambyses, a full 110,000 people, of which 30,000 were the elite auxiliaries of the original Persian army, if they were desperate and attacked several key roads controlled by Daqin, they might be rushed into the river.

"How many days have they been without food?" Li Ang did not answer Li Cunzhi directly, he knew that this righteous son had always been cold-blooded to the people of the enemy country, even the common people.

"Judging from the return of the rangers, they have been out of food for nearly three days, and they have been living on grass roots and bark for the past few days. Thinking of what his subordinates said, Li Cunzhi's eyebrows flashed with a touch of melancholy, and he didn't understand why his father-in-law, who had always been decisive in killing, would care about the lives of those Persian herdsmen.

"Abandoned by their own country, the hearts of those Persian people must be full of resentment!" Leon muttered to himself, and then stood up from his chair, beside his feet. Obsidian, who was lying on his stomach, also got up. Growled.

"Cun Xiao, pass on my handsome order, and let the rear camp make a fire. First boil some gruel and prepare a serving of 100,000 people. Li Angdi's voice echoed in the tent, Li Cunzhi and Li Cunxiao were stunned, they followed Li Ang so far, it was the first time they saw Li Ang to help the people, and it was the people of the enemy country. For a while, the two of them looked at each other and forgot to answer.

"Don't go yet." Seeing that Li Cunxiao was there, Lin Fengshuang shouted softly before her husband spoke, waking up the two.

"Father-in-law, are you going to co-opt those Persian herdsmen?" After Li Cunzhi saw Li Cunxiao leave the camp, he looked at Li Ang with a look of surprise. Then he frowned again and asked, "Is the Father-in-law going to use them as a precursor to attack the Persian camp?" ”

"They're poor people, too!" Li Ang sighed, but Li Cunzhi didn't believe his words. Even Lin Fengshuang smiled, she knew her husband too well. In addition to the people of Daqin, the people of other countries are only divided into killable and non-necessarable in the eyes of her husband, and if he wants to say that he will pity those Persian herdsmen, he will not believe that he killed her.

"Cunzhi, send those horse thieves who can speak Persian to spread the word to those Persian herdsmen, and whoever wants to be my slave, I will give him food to eat and a house to live in, and no one else will want to touch them except that I can condemn them to life and death." Li Ang didn't get annoyed when he saw his wife laughing, but just instructed Li Cunzhi.

"What are you laughing at?" When Li Cunzhi left, Li Ang looked at his wife and asked.

"I laughed and kept their minds that they didn't use their brains, those Persian herdsmen were forced to a dead end by their own people, it was a good time to take them for their own use, and they also happened to make a show for Cambyses, they couldn't see such a double move, and asked if you plan to use those people as cannon fodder." Lin Fengshuang replied, but his eyebrows were frowning slightly, and he asked again after a pause, "But I'm also a little worried, now that the family is under the rule, there are mostly Hu people and outsiders, and now if these Persians are accepted and passed back to Chang'an, I'm afraid that some people will gossip." ”

"There will definitely be gossip." Li Ang answered, his face was also a little helpless, the Great Qin country is strong, and a few Han people are willing to drag their families to settle in Europe with him, and he can only rely on those uncivilized Hu people to gain a foothold in Europe, thinking of this, he sighed and said, "I have never liked those Confucian swordsmen, but now I have to rely on them to educate these Hu outsiders, and it is really ironic to talk about it!" ”

"Although Confucianism is not good for politics, it is a great good to use it to educate the Hu people." Lin Fengshuang opened his mouth and said, "But I'm afraid they may not be willing to come here to listen to it." ”

"This doesn't matter, it's a big deal to ask for credit for Jing Luo, so that after Tangzhou Muhe was annexed by Great Qin, he would be renamed Tangzhou. , it's up to him to do it. Li Ang knew that his wife was referring to his own murderous reputation, and those Confucian scholars who taught the way of benevolence and forgiveness had always looked down on him unpleasantly, and asked them to do things for him, but I was afraid that few would be willing.

Looking at the dilapidated tents in the field, Chen Qingzhi looked at Ran Min beside him, "I didn't expect that the marshal would actually plan to take these people in this time, it was really unexpected to me." Behind the two of them, there was a neatly arranged Great Qin army array, and the black iron armor reflected the cold light, the entire army

A little sound, silence, but a terrifying power hidden like a ghost.

"The marshal never makes a loss-making business, these people will be good slaves." Ran Min grinned, he looked at the Persian herdsmen who were looking at them but were afraid of them, and looked at Chen Qingzhi, "Look at the wooden guns in those men's hands, I bet that if we come out in the middle of the night, these people will definitely come to us with this ridiculous thing." ”

"Slaves, are you going to motivate them to get rid of this identity?" Ignoring Ran Min's mockery of those Persian herdsmen, Chen Qingzhong muttered to himself, he knew that in addition to these Persians who were about to become slaves, the Tubo, Qiang, Tiele people in the north, the Uighurs, the Turks, and the Mughal Murwei people would all become Li Ang's slaves and migrate to the river, he might be able to guess Li Ang's thoughts, he planned to launch an expedition to Europe and establish a country with these Hu outsiders as the mainstay, and it seemed that the next ten years would be the first goal to educate these Hu outsiders to become Han Chinese, Chen Qingzhong could even foresee that those Hu people who were excellent at learning the Chinese language and writing and converted to Han etiquette would soon become commoners from the position of slaves, and then become officials, level by level, managing these miscellaneous slaves for Li Ang from top to bottom.

In the wilderness, the horse thieves who had taken refuge in Leon shouted loudly in Persian, "Listen, our merciful marshal has decided to give you food and lodging to keep you alive in the harsh winter that will come to pass, but in return, you will serve our merciful marshal as the lord, and if you wish, go over there and write your name, and then go and get fragrant white rice porridge to drink, and if you don't want to stay here and die!" ”

The horse thieves kept repeating the same words to ensure that the nearly 100,000 Persian herdsmen in the wilderness could hear them, and behind them were black ironclad formations and steaming porridge buckets. The herdsmen of Persia knew what to choose, slave or die, it seemed like a difficult choice, but in fact when you didn't eat for three days, you will find that the so-called freedom is just a bunch of unrealistic conjectures, freedom does not give you food, let alone let you live. And these Persian herdsmen, no one wants to die.

—

When the first old man, tremblingly, reported his Persian name next to the clerk next to the porridge bucket, and after the horse thief translated it on his behalf, and received a steaming bowl of sweet white rice porridge, more and more Persian herdsmen flocked to the place where the white rice porridge was distributed, and under the blades of the Great Qin soldiers, they lined up in several long queues, waiting for their own bowl of sweet white rice porridge.

"No matter how good the so-called sages and sages say, the people are always only concerned about their stomachs, and whoever gives them food is the master, and if this master gives them proper protection and dignity, then they will worship their master as a holy king and virtuous king." Li Ang looked at the Persian herdsmen who were in good order and willing to become slaves just for a bowl of porridge, and looked at Murong Ke beside him and said so.

"Blade and Order." Leon's voice became distant, "In the days to come, we will use the blade to go to Europe to re-establish order, our order." Whoever submits to us and believes in us will give them dignity and a stable life, let them become us, and we will conquer more lands, more people, and establish our order. There will be only one order in this world, and that is our order, the order of Great Qin, and the order of the East. This is God's will and God's mission to us. ”

"Will fight for the will of God." Murong and Helian Bo put their clenched fists on their chests reverently, Li Ang had already begun to establish faith in the army, belonging to the faith of war, they were the first believers, and they had to admit that Li Ang was a very good instigator, he understood what these subordinates of his wanted to do, to make meritorious deeds, and to kill with the will of God, what could be easier for the generals and soldiers to believe, everyone is willing to believe that they are righteous, so if others think that you are a demon, then as long as you believe in yourself, Then you are justice, and the next thing to do is to kill all those who think you are a demon, so that the world will be a better place, and this is the faith that Leon brought to his soldiers.

Wang Meng looked at his excited colleagues beside him, and looked at the Persian herdsmen in the distance, believing that soon the best of them would abandon their old beliefs and turn to those of Leon. "Looks like it's time to step up the doctrinal refinement." Thinking of what Li Ang handed over to him, Wang Meng's eyes became hot, those uncivilized Hu people, only with religion and belief can they be converted as quickly as possible, ten years later, those fanatical believers will sweep the entire Western world, and he began to look forward to that day incomparably.
