Chapter 923: Denunciation
"Threat" is not a very good word, and it is often used as a metaphor for someone who uses improper means to take advantage of the other party's shortcomings for the sake of something.
Although the word is not a good word, and the practice is also detrimental to yin morality, this trick is indeed tried and tested in practical application.
Li Ji threatened Chen Fei, Chen Fei threatened Guligan Khan, Guligan Khan...... Well, he has no one to threaten and can only work honestly.
Guligan Khan is also honest, I don't know if he was really scared by Chen Fei or something, he is really serious about doing things. During this period of time, he has been doing ideological work for the people of the tribe, saying how good the Tang Dynasty is and what kind of benefits they will get.
In particular, he mentioned the issue of business exchange, which was strongly supported by the herders.
The Guli tribe is too poor, don't look at them as tall and big, in fact, they don't even have an iron pot to eat at home.
Originally, it was far away from the Tang Dynasty, and there was a Xue Yantuo in the middle, how could he trade with the Tang people? Step into their tribe and you'll find ........ Cattle and sheep don't count, they are really poorer than the beggars of the Tang Dynasty!
When they heard that they could trade with the Tang people with cattle and sheep in the future, they immediately cheered.
Iron, salt, grain, they needed everything, but they didn't have anything, and they desperately needed trade to change all that.
When Chen Fei saw the herders' reactions, he knew that the work was almost done. Just let these herdsmen expect the good of Datang and want to really join Datang, then there is no need to worry about them turning against the water, even if someone is the opposite, I am afraid that these herdsmen will not support him.
If the interests of the herdsmen are not moved, and the benefits will be brought to them, they will slowly integrate into the Datang and become a part of the Datang permanently, instead of being dependent for a while, and then hurting each other after a few years.
A few days later, Guligan Khan successfully stabilized the mood of the herdsmen, and with his three silly sons, he returned to the Tang Dynasty with the Tang army.
Halfway there, they encountered Hou Junji's troops, and in addition to that, there were more than a thousand captives of the Bone Tribe escorted by Hou Junji.
Knot and Gu Ligan are neighbors, the two tribes often quarrel over land, and now one destroys the country, and the other is beaten half dead, this encounter makes Gu Ligan Khan sigh.
"General Hou, have all the remnants of the army in the territory been wiped out?"
Hou Junji hugged his fists and said: "Report to the general, when the last general was cleaning up the territory, he only encountered the army of more than 10,000 bone tribes, and did not encounter the troops of the Western Turks. ”
"Yes, that's good. The Bone Tribe sometimes surrenders, sometimes rebels, and if there is a chance, the old man will definitely ask His Majesty for instructions to pacify this clan! ”
As soon as Hou Junji was about to speak, a captive of a bone tribe who was captured behind him suddenly rushed forward, knelt down with a "plop" before the guards took him down, and cried bitterly in Tang dialect, which was not very fluent.
"General! The general is wronged! Our bone-chilling tribe surrendered sincerely, but unexpectedly, most of them were slashed and killed by this general! The khan and several generals fled in disarray, we were wronged! This general indiscriminately kills the defectors, and the general is in charge of us! ”
Immediately afterward, all the captives of the Jointbone Tribe behind knelt on the ground and shouted in the Bone Tongue: "Be the master for us!" ”
Hou Junji's face suddenly fell, staring at the captive who rushed up, and the killing intent kept emerging.
Without waiting for Li Ji to speak, he walked towards the man with a knife. "Just a captive, he will talk nonsense and bewitch the public, and he should be punished for his crimes! I'm here to see you off on your way! ”
Then he took up his sword and struck him on the head.
"Wait!" Li Ji wanted to drink Hou Junji, but he couldn't stop it, so he could only watch him slash at the captive.......
"Scandium!" The expected head landing did not appear, and Hou Junji's knife was blocked by another machete.
"Who are you? Why are you holding me back? Hou Junji squinted his eyes and stared at the visitor unkindly.
It was Yin Ping who stood in his way, Chen Fei saw Hou Junji walking towards the captive, he knew that something was wrong, and asked Yin Ping to save the captive's life.
Hou Junji's knife was horizontal in the air, and he couldn't move forward.
"It's just a nameless general, the general doesn't have to care who I am, it's just strange why the general should not care about a prisoner? Could it be... The general's heart is weak? Yin Ping sneered.
As if he had been poked in pain, Hou Junji withdrew his knife and pointed at Yin Ping and scolded angrily: "Bold! Who are you? Just an unknown young general dares to point fingers at this general and speak disrespectfully, I think you are impatient! Ben will cut you first! ”
Hou Junji returned, but Yin Ping was unmoved, and gently reached out to block his knife, and the blow was fruitless.
"Enough!" Li Ji dismounted and walked closer, ordered the two to be separated, and scolded: "In the army, swords face each other, what kind of system does it become? Where is military discipline? Take twenty military sticks in a while! ”
Hou Junji was helpless, but he had to obey the order.
Li Ji walked up to the captive and asked, "Who are you?" What did you mean by what you just said? What does it mean that you have surrendered, but you have been attacked? Quick enough? ”
The captive said happily: "General, our Bone Tribe has actually accepted surrender, and we have no intention of rebelling against ....... at all."
Hou Junji had an eyelid, stopped in front of Li Ji, and snatched the words: "General! He's just planting a false accusation. When Ben will encounter the Jointbone Tribe, they still have weapons in their hands and are in an attack formation, and Ben will have to let people break through their camp in formation, otherwise, we will suffer. ”
The prisoner in the back was anxious and hurriedly defended: "General, it's not like this! He ......."
"Smack!" Hou Junji threw a kick directly on the man's face, kicking the man's teeth.
"Shut up! It's just a prisoner of the defeated army, and you dare to argue here, should it really be so easy to plant? Hum! ”
Then, Hou Junji turned around again and said sincerely to Li Ji: "General, don't listen to that person's nonsense, he was just killed by me, and he has a grudge against me and wants to slander me." ”
Li Ji is an old man, how could he believe Hou Junji's nonsense? However, he didn't poke it on the spot, but asked him with a smile: "Really?" ”
Hou Junji's heart tightened, and he bowed his head and responded: "Yes!" ”
"General Hou, I hope what you said is right, otherwise it is a big mouth to cut and kill the returnees, don't blame the old man for not remembering the past"
Hou Jun took a breath and arched his hand: "Don't worry, general, Ben will definitely not deceive!" ”
"Well, that's good, let's get on the road. By the way, General Hou, this general, I don't want to hear that a prisoner died on the march, I believe you can manage it, right? ”
"Obey ......."
