The Great Qin Western Regions War Chapter 17 Please surrender
At noon the next day, the Bourbu camp.
Smoke rose from the huge camp and the herders began to make lunch.
There was a river on the west side of the camp, and by the river, there were many horses, cattle and sheep drinking water and neighing.
In the herd, there are many small children, dressed in leather coats and holding leather whips, riding comfortably on horseback, watching the cattle fight, watching the sheep laugh and clap their hands.
And on the wide grassland around the camp, from time to time there were three or three horsemen galloping by. These people were all sent out by the Boer Ministry, and at this extraordinary moment, Hulandar naturally did not dare to be careless.
Suddenly, not far from the sky, a fast horse galloped towards the camp.
However, it seemed that the horse was already struggling to run, and his steps were a little vain, and it was evident that he must have run a long way in a row.
And immediately, there seemed to be a person lurking, but it looked like he was covered in blood.
The children who were playing suddenly became surprised, and suddenly remembered the warning of their parents, and couldn't help shouting: "Someone is coming, someone is coming."
All of a sudden, a few children who were still bathing in the river ran up from the river in fright, and ran to the camp with their clothes in their hands.
Originally, the camp that was already on high alert was suddenly alarmed, and suddenly, with the sound of hooves, more than a dozen Boer cavalry turned over their horses and ran towards the comers.
When he approached the river, he shouted at the children: "Go back." Let's all go back, and we'll go and see. ”
The children hurried to the camp with the herd, and the Boer people, who were more and more numerous, noticed the movement here, and the camp became agitated for a moment.
More than a dozen Boer cavalrymen quickly approached the bloodied comer, and stopped at thirty or forty paces away, and a small leader in the lead shouted: "Who are you, stop quickly."
But the man was lying on horseback. As if not hearing, the horse continued to gallop forward. Look at the bores to crash into the Bour cavalry.
The little leader glared, waved his hand, and made a gesture, and a dozen Boer cavalrymen quickly parted to the sides, each pulling out a long lasso.
As the horses of the incoming men galloped to their sides, suddenly a dozen Boer cavalrymen shouted in unison and threw the lassoes out.
"Whoosh ......" in the air, weaving a net of heaven and earth. At least seven or eight lassoes were better to lassoze the neck of a galloping horse.
The Boer cavalry were overjoyed and worked hard together: "Boom ——!" The galloping horse neighed, and immediately pulled seven or eight lassoes around his neck straight, and after struggling for a few seconds, Xu is strength was exhausted, four of them were weak, and his whole body fell to the ground with a thud.
Immediately, the bloody knight fell to the ground, and rolled on the ground unconsciously. He lay silent and motionless.
The Boer cavalry were stunned, rushed up to take a look, and were all startled, and hurriedly jumped down four or five people, and the men were carefully carried and rushed to the camp.
……
Hulandar at this time. He was sitting quietly by the big tent.
The upper body is bare, the muscles are protruding strongly, and the oil is very smooth.
With a scimitar in his hand, he was carefully polishing the whetstone, stopping from time to time to try his edge, his eyes calm and patient.
Suddenly, a personal soldier rushed over, his face anxious: "Chief, no, it's not good."
Hulandar said quietly: "What are you panicking about." Take your time. ”
"Chief. Mu, Mu Jie is back, but. Covered in blood, he had fainted. The soldier gasped.
"What?" Hulandar's face suddenly became shocked, and the movements in his hands immediately stopped.
"Quick, take me to see it." Hulandar quickly came to his senses, and 'Woo' sheathed the scimitar, then picked up his coat and draped it over his body.
"Chief, come over here." The soldiers hurriedly caused Hulandar to run westward.
After a while, when they came to a camp, they saw a large group of people gathered together, and their soldiers shouted: "The leader is here, let everyone go."
The people hurriedly separated a pathway, and when Hulandar entered, he saw Mujie lying on a blanket covered in blood and dying, and an old tribal priest was nervously smearing his wounds with herbs, stopping the bleeding and bandaging it.
"Honorable Priest Saul, how is Mujie?" Hulandar hurriedly came to Mu Jie's side and bent down.
"Chief, the situation is not good, this child has six or seven injuries and bleeding profusely, whether he can survive in the end may depend on the meaning of Kunlun Shendi." Priest Sau sighed pityingly.
Hulandar frowned, he still had important things to ask Mu Jie, after all, Mu Jie went to invite the Wuyan Habu to come to the alliance, but why did he come back covered in blood like this.
"Honorable Priest Sau, I have something very important to ask Mu Jie, can you find a way to make him wake up now? Just the time to drink a glass of mare's milk. Hulandar said anxiously.
"Yes, there is, but it makes the child's survival more risky. Are you sure, Chief?" Sau looked reluctant.
"Honorable Priest Sau, this is a matter of the survival of the entire tribe, I must him wake up now, for the sake of the Kunlun God, help me." Hulandar waved his hand to his chest and bent down towards the priest of Sau, who was in a transcendent position in the tribe.
Sau hesitated, sighed, fumbled in his bosom, and took out a small box.
When I opened it, there were a few dried yellow wildflowers in the box, and I don't know what they were.
"Fetch the fire." Priest Sau said suddenly.
Immediately, someone brought a burning stick, and the priest took out a yellow wildflower and roasted it on the fire.
Immediately, the wild flowers of the dry ground burst into flames, and the priest of Sau blew out the flames. But the remaining sparks were still slowly scorching the dry flower stalks, emitting curling white smoke.
The priest carefully placed the flower stem under Mu Jie's nose, and immediately, white smoke ran down his nostrils into Mu Jie's body.
Soon, Mu Jie, who was unconscious from "cough cough ......", coughed suddenly, and his eyes gradually opened.
Hulandar was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward. Said loudly: "Mu Jie, Mu Jie."
"Chief, chief." Mu Jie said with difficulty. There was surprise in his eyes.
"Why is this happening, didn't you go to the Uyan Habu?" Hulandar knew that there was no time, and hurriedly asked.
"Chief, I, after I arrived at the Wuyan Habu and Wuyanha, I said and persuaded the leaders of Sang and Sangkun to lead the whole tribe to come to the alliance early the day before yesterday. However, but in the Yellow and Yellow Grass Beaches, at night, at night, we encountered and encountered a large number of sudden attacks and raids by a large number of Qin troops. The U, the Uyanha Department is finished, it's finished. The small and small people saw and saw the opportunity quickly, and they fought and fought hard to kill and get out of the encirclement. Yes, I'm sorry, Chief, I, I didn't fulfill the mission you gave and entrusted me with. Mu Jie struggled to explain what had happened.
All of a sudden, like a thunderbolt from the sky, not only Hulandar, but even the surrounding elders, leaders, and all the local tribes were stunned.
'Wind Wolf' is finished. The Wuyan Ha Department is finished, and the remaining Erjin Department is the farthest away, so the first thing to bear the brunt of is that the Boer Department wants to taste the sharp edge of the Qin army!
A terrible chill rose behind these Boer.
"Mujie, it's not your fault. It's not your fault. Hulandar's face was full of disappointment, and he said two words in a daze, then suddenly stood up and said to Priest Sau: "Respected Priest Sau, please take care of Mujie, now, I must think about the survival of Boerdi."
"Rest assured, Chief, we will do our best to save this child's life." Priest Sau nodded solemnly.
Hulandar said loudly: "All the elders and leaders will gather in the big tent, and the rest will be vigilant."
All of a sudden, the people dispersed with trepidation. Only a few elders and their footsteps followed Hulandar towards the big tent.
into the big tent. Everyone sat down with a dejected expression, and no one spoke for a while. But. The expression of anxiety and fear on his face could not be concealed in any way.
After a long time, Hulandar coughed and said with some frustration: "Elders, brothers of all clans, originally I wanted to invite Wuyanha and Erqijin to come to the alliance and fight against the Qin people. But I didn't expect that the Wuyan Habu encountered an accident halfway, and the Ersaisi of the Erxi Department was a black and treacherous man, but he was as timid as a mouse, and when he heard the news, he didn't dare to come again anyway. In this way, only we, the Boer people, will fight against the Qin army alone, and the situation is not optimistic. ”
Everyone was silent, in fact, everyone thought of this, but no one was willing to say it first.
Suddenly, Elder Mogu stood up and said in a hoarse voice, "Chief, Naduo hasn't come back yet, don't be too pessimistic, just wait and see." Perhaps, that Ersaisi Hei knows the truth of cold lips and teeth, and will come to the alliance. In this way, we have more or less the capital to fight with the Qin people. ”
Everyone smiled bitterly when they heard this, and according to everyone's understanding of Ersai Sihei, they would not dare to come.
Hulandar smiled bitterly and said, "Elder Mogu, I don't think Ersai Sihei will come, instead of waiting here, it is better to think of a way to make a living for the tribe."
"Chief, in the past, Ersaith was cowardly and cunning, and for good reason. Because the Qin people didn't push us too hard at the beginning, and their tribe was relatively wealthy, so naturally they didn't need to take too many risks. However, the Qin people have destroyed the 'Wind Wolf' one after another, as well as the Wuyan Habu, and sooner or later it will be their turn. If they sit back and watch us finish, their days will be numbered. Therefore, I think that even if Ersaisi Hei knew that the road was dangerous, he might still consider coming to the alliance. However, perhaps we can take the initiative to move closer to the past for the sake of An'an Ersai Sihei's heart, which will also reduce the risk of them being raided by the Qin people. Murgu, who was older, slowly spoke out something different.
All of a sudden, Hulandar and the others hesitated a little: Is it possible? Is that timid old guy really coming?
Just as he was in the middle of nowhere, suddenly, the curtain was lifted, and someone crashed in, shouting: "Chief, it's not good, it's not good."
The crowd was shocked. Looking back, it turned out to be so many sent to Er'er's Jin, and his heart couldn't help but feel cold.
"That's a lot, why did you come back, Er'er is only a pound?" Hulan Darho stood up and asked anxiously.
Naduo looked depressed and dusty, and said with a wry smile: "The villain is only a pound when he arrives." He told the leader of the Elsai Black that the good words of the leader's land were cold, and the leader of the Elsai Si Hei thought about it for a long time. Finally agreed to the alliance. The next day, when the villain was waiting to lead them on the road, suddenly, Ersai Sihei changed his hexagram and led his troops to the side of Qingtongxia. I heard that it was their people who would rather cross thousands of miles of yellow sand and fold to the Hehuang region than fight against the terrible Qin people. There was no way for the leader of the Black Leader of Ersaisi. had no choice but to lead the tribesmen to risk death and move west. ”
All of a sudden, everyone's hearts were cold.
Thinking about it, they all thought that Ersai Sihei would not come, but they didn't expect that he was willing, but their people were timid.
Hulandar suddenly smiled bitterly and roared: "Kunlun God, look at it, is this your once heroic people!?" I didn't even have the courage to fight the enemy. And would rather die for a lifetime to cross thousands of miles of yellow sand. When did we, the Great Huns, fall to such a pathetic state!"
Hulandar's roar suddenly made everyone sad, and there was a cry in the tent.
The rise of a nation must inevitably step on the bones of other nations and deal with the losers. There are no tears for the victors.
"Chief, it's over, Er'er is gone, what should we do? What to do?" One of them said in despair, his expression dead and gray.
Yes, the only hope is gone, what is the future of Boul's ministry?
"Chief, there is no hope, you can't win the fight. We now only have two paths, one is that we also learn from Er. Or cross thousands of miles of yellow sand to the Hehuang area where the Qin and Yueshi people can't manage. or North Vietnam is in danger of moving back to Mobei; Second, there is only surrender, whether it is groveling. It is better to give up all the wealth, as long as the Qin people can allow us to surrender, any price can be beared, so that we can more or less leave some seeds for our Boer Department. Mogu said sadly.
Hulandar laughed miserably: "Elder Mogu, with the strength of our Boer Division, whether it is moving west to Hehuang or returning north to Mobei, if Er'er is only a Jin tribe of nine deaths, then we will die for a hundred lives." Without the proceeds of plundering merchants, Qin people, and salt wells, we may not be able to survive even a month. How did you survive that long, arduous journey!?"
Hearing Hulandar say this, everyone was silent, knowing that this was the truth!
In several decisive battles between Qin and the Xiongnu, most of the herds of the Boer Department were lost, otherwise, they would not have fallen to the point of eating from the mouths of the Qin people.
After all, they are not the same as the 'wind wolves' who are purely bandits.
The same is true of the Uyanhabe.
Only Er'er, because the tribe is relatively small and not noticeable, and Ersaisi is dark, cunning, and alert, so he escaped many sweeps by the Qin and Yue people near the remote Helan Mountain, and preserved most of his vitality.
It is precisely because of his relatively rich family background that Er'er only dared to risk crossing thousands of miles of sand and sea and moving to the river with only one catty.
Everyone who understood all this looked at each other: if they could not fight and could not walk, then there was only one way to surrender.
However, no one was willing to say this for a while, after all, it was not disgraceful, and it was still very difficult to say whether the Qin people were willing or not.
After being silent for a long time, Mogu coughed and said oldly: "Since everyone is reluctant to speak, it's better for my old man to say it." Chief, send someone to surrender to the Qin officer commander in Yinchuan. This is the only way for us to continue. ”
Hulandar smiled bitterly: "Elder Mogu, do you think the Qin people will accept our surrender!?" They are even more ferocious to the enemy than we Huns!"
Elder Mogu said slowly, "The leader is right. But how do you know if you don't try!? But all human beings always have weaknesses, and we can send gold and silver, beautiful women, and everything that can be given, as long as he can accept our surrender, everything is easy to talk about. Even the most humiliating conditions are better than the destruction of our entire race. ”
Suddenly, someone roared angrily: "If it is really such a humiliation, let's fight to the death." It is better to die in battle vigorously than to live in such a humiliating life. ”
Everyone watched, but it was Hugh Zhe, the youngest leader. I couldn't help but bow my head in shame for a while.
Mo Gu smiled bitterly: "Hugh Zhe, you are still young, although you have a sharp spirit, have you thought about it: this kind of war that you know will be fought to the death, are the clansmen willing to fight!?" Have you ever thought about your old Amma, your mother-in-law, and your children!?"
Asked by Mogu like this, Hugh Zhe suddenly withered and glanced at the silent crowd. Knowing that he didn't have the courage to fight to the death for honor, he sat down with his ass. A look of frustration.
Yes, for a people that has lost its courage, survival is the most important thing. Honor is just a passing cigarette, not worth a penny.
"Really, are you going to go this far?" Hulandar's face was indescribably sad, angry, and sad.
"Chief. We don't have a choice, let's decide quickly, otherwise, once the Qin people are killed, everything will be over. Mogu said slowly.
Hulandar glanced at the rest of the people, and everyone did not speak, but was silent.
However, the meaning is already quite clear.
There was a little confusion in Hulandar's eyes. Slowly but heavily, he said, "Okay, I'll send someone to try it right away." Perhaps, the god of Kunlun can still take care of us poor people. ”
Secretly, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and their expectations for life suddenly revived again.
******
Yinchuan City, garrison house.
Evening sunset. It is beautiful, golden and brilliant.
The weather is still relatively hot, and the dense branches, countless cicadas are singing happily, playing a chaotic symphony, which is a little noisy.
However, at this time, no one thought these cicadas were noisy, and everyone's heart was shrouded in the joy of the recent victory.
Chen Tang touched his head with a little headache, this was the sequelae of yesterday's victorious return to the army. Drink in the middle of the night. I don't know how many bowls of spirits I've drunk, and I'm still a little dizzy.
Right now. It was not Chen Tang's duty time, Li Kuang was writing the post-war recital, so Chen Tang had to practice his sword in the martial arts arena.
This swordsmanship was taught by Chen Tang's father when he was a child, although it was not from the hands of some famous master, but it was also the battlefield effort of Chen Tang's ancestors with blood.
The sword light Huo Huo, Chen Tang danced very fast, and there was a faint sound of wind and thunder for a while.
When the practice was rising, I forgot even a slight headache, my spirit increased, and the sword shadow was cold, and the murderous aura overflowed.
Suddenly, someone ran over and said loudly: "Chen Tang, Chen Tang, don't practice, don't practice."
Chen Tang gathered his head, turned his head, and said in surprise: "Song Jian, why are you so panicked?" The Bours are coming?"
Song Jian said with a smile: "There are really Boer people coming, but they are not killed, but they are here to surrender."
Chen Tang was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief: "Really?"
"That's natural, I dare to joke about such a major military situation!? According to the military order, if you make a mistake, you will lose your head. Song Jian said with a serious face.
Chen Tang was a little stunned all of a sudden, and Song Jianqi said: "Chen Tang, Chen Tang, what are you stunned about?" Hurry up and report to your lordship!"
"Oh, bring him in, remember, search well, don't be an assassin. I'll go and ask your lords to see if I see it. Chen Tang came back to his senses and said busily.
"Okay." Song Jian nodded and hurried away.
Chen Tang shrugged his shoulders a little depressedly, and walked towards Li Kuang's room.
To tell the truth, he was unwilling to accept the surrender of the Boer people, one of the missing war exploits, and the other that the blood feud of so many villagers being killed by the Boer people in the past must not be counted.
Thinking of this, Chen Tang's footsteps quickened, and he came to Li Kuang's room in a few clicks.
At this time, Chen Jiang and Hou Cheng were guarding in front of the door, and when they saw Chen Tang coming in a hurry, they couldn't help but be stunned.
Chen Jiang joked: "Chen Tang, so urgent? Waiting to marry a daughter-in-law. ”
Chen Tang scolded with a smile: "You pull it down, I'm single, it's not that you don't know."
While speaking, Chen Tang pushed the door into the room, Li Kuang seemed to have finished writing the recital at this time, walking around the room upright, holding a military book in his hand and reading it with relish, but he was a tireless character.
"Your Excellency." Chen Tang hurriedly bowed.
"Chen Tang, is there something wrong?" Li Kuang put down the book and smiled.
Now, he is more and more satisfied with Chen Tang's proud subordinate.
"Back to my lord. Outside, an envoy from the Boer tribe came, and I heard that he had come to ask for a surrender. I don't know, do you see it?" Chen Tang said, looking at Li Kuang's face carefully.
Li Kuang was obviously stunned, and said after a moment of silence: "Chen Tang, you say." Shall I see him?"
"According to the hearts of his subordinates, such bandits. It's useless to see. However, after all, my Qin State is a big country in the Celestial Empire, and fighting a war is a war, but the etiquette cannot be underestimated. It's better to see it, and by the way, it's good to explore the truth and reality. Chen Tang said cautiously.
Li Kuang smiled and patted Chen Tang's shoulder when he heard this: "You kid, you are becoming more and more mature, this statement is very heart-wrenching." Let the messenger in. ”
"Yes, sir." Chen Tang nodded and hurriedly retreated.
After a while, Chen Tang walked in from outside with Song Jian, Liu Jun, and a Boer man.
"My lord, the messenger of Boll has brought it." Chen Tang saluted Li Kuangyi, and then shouted to the messenger: "When you see the captain of my family, don't run away!"
The messenger was about forty years old. The bearded, but a pair of eyes are a little small, he looks quite shrewd, and hurriedly knelt down: "The villain Banderny visits the adult, and regards the adult as blessed and healthy, and rises day by day."
Li Kuang sat with a stinging sting. said coldly: "Thank you, you came today, what's the matter?"
Banderni's attitude towards Li Kuang had long been expected, after all, there was not much enthusiasm for the enemy, and he said cautiously: "Lord Hui, I and other Boer people look up to the prosperity of the Celestial Empire, and deeply regret the sins committed against the Celestial Empire in the past. As long as adults can accept it, we will definitely change our minds and change our past mistakes in the future. Forever be the obedient people of the Celestial Empire. I wonder what the adults think?"
Li Kuang was slightly stunned. Suddenly burst out laughing: "Hahaha, this is probably the biggest joke Captain Ben has heard this year." You robbers have murdered, set fires, raped and plundered in the land of my Great Qin. It's really hard to write about the blood debt, is it so light to say that the surrender is over!?"
The cold sweat on Banderny's head brushed the ground, and he said in fear: "Lord Hui, the raiding of the Celestial Empire is not out of my own heart, but because I am hungry and have no food and no clothes, I have to make a decision. Today, we already know that we are very wrong, my lord is the official of the Celestial Empire, and China has long been a state of etiquette, please forgive us for the sake of our people's stupidity. ”
Chen Tang heard it sincerely, pursed his lips contemptuously, and said in his heart: **, after eating, wipe it off, do you want to admit it!? How can there be such a cheap thing!
Li Kuang also sneered: "Can you kill people and set fire to people and rape and plunder without food and clothing!?" Why don't you use your own hands to work and farm to support yourself like the people of Great Qin!? In my opinion, you Huns are clearly accustomed to being robbers, and only think of shamefully relying on force for nothing. If it weren't for the invincibility of my Qin army, would you have surrendered!?"
Banderny's face turned pale, and he couldn't get away with a shrewd person like Li Kuang, so he had to plead bitterly: "My lord, I and Boer know that we are deeply guilty, as long as the adults are willing to let me go, any conditions can be raised!" War horses, cattle and sheep, jewelry, and the most beautiful beauties and sharpest swords of my Boer Department can all be honored to adults, but please be able to raise your noble hands. ”
Li Kuang sneered suddenly, and shouted: "Well, you shameless person, you dare to bribe me." My Li family has been loyal and good for generations, how can you ruin your reputation! Today, if it weren't for the sake of the two countries fighting each other and not cutting off each other, I would have chopped off your dog's head to see. You get Captain Ben back as soon as possible, and tell the dog thief in Hulandar that my Qin army will never let go of a robber who slaughtered my people. Kill the enemy without exhaustion, this is the glorious tradition of our Qin army since ancient times. Get out!"
Chen Tang's spirit was greatly lifted: Your Majesty said that those who dare to offend my Chinese Tianwei will be punished even if they are far away. It really speaks of the blood and courage of my Qin people! He said loudly: "Your Excellency is wise. Come, beat this shameless villain out of the city, and drive him out of the city. ”
"Yes." Song Jian and Liu Jun were overjoyed, touched a stick, and stepped forward to fight indiscriminately.
Banderni was bruised and swollen and fled like a lost dog.
Li Kuang and Chen Tang glanced at each other and laughed together, feeling that there was a bad breath in their chests!
