Chapter 345: Changli Barbarian
Due to the small number of people and horses, before they arrived in Xinjian, a small group of barbarian forces came to rob, everyone laughed, and the barbarians began to learn from others to be robbers. However, he was defeated in a battle in front of the white-haired army, and was killed like chopping melons and vegetables. The rest scattered. Liu Yong frowned.
"Isn't the lord dissatisfied with the white-haired army?" Zhao Yun frowned when he saw Liu Yong and asked.
Liu Yong shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm dissatisfied with the white-haired army. Before entering the mountains, the barbarians were so rampant that even a team of more than a thousand people dared to attack, which shows how unscrupulous! ”
Zhao Yun also fell silent, in such a situation, where could ordinary people resist this kind of attack.
The barbarian land of South Vietnam, thieves arose, but unlike the northern bandit forces, the basic people here are the indigenous forces that settled here, because of the hardships in the mountains, coveting the wealth of the Han people, often raiding and looting, and in the long run, formed a habit. So it also became a thief force in the eyes of the Han people.
They are inhabited by tribes, just like the Xiongnu nomads on the northern steppes, each with different habits and languages, primitive living conditions, and often hunting and fishing for a living. Because of the hardships of life, the advanced tools, exquisite food, and living items of the Han people are all what they yearn for, but the Han people look down on them and hate each other.
Liu Yong knows all this very well, but in this era of iron-blooded chaos, there is no good and evil, there is no wrong and right, only the winner is the king, and the loser is the murder, using the blade to deter, and using the enemy's blood to make the enemy surrender, in order to achieve the goal of domination. This is the inevitable evolution of the times, Liu Yong sighed.
After killing five or six barbarian forces from different tribes in a row, Liu Yong finally arrived in Xinjian. Xinjian is a small city with a population of less than 5,000, but the walls are built very strongly, also because it often has to resist barbarian attacks. The county order is a young man named Yu Fang, who is on the list after participating in the state examination, because he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, he is determined to make meritorious contributions, and he does not want to be inflammatory, so he was thrown here to make a county order, Liu Yong did not know.
Later, although Sun Quan occupied Yuzhang, but not everything could be taken care of, the mountain was high and the emperor was far away, and no one came to see it. Yu Fang didn't make a fool of saying that he was an official in Jingzhou, but he had nothing to do, and he firmly believed that Liu Yong would not regain Yuzhang.
After an inspection, all affairs were in order, and the people praised him, Liu Yong was very surprised by Fang, but he didn't expect that there were such ministers who were so good at government affairs in this far place, and he praised it greatly.
On the third day, as soon as it was dawn, a sharp horn suddenly remembered in the city, and Liu Yong could hear it clearly, it was the sound of warning. Hurriedly asked, Ling Tong came to report that the barbarians had come to attack the city.
Liu Yong's eyes flashed and asked, "How many people are here?" ”
"About three or four thousand!"
There are a lot of three or four thousand people, if it is the regular elite of the princes of all parties, Liu Yong will still be a little worried, for these barbarians, who mostly use primitive wooden guns, bows and crossbows, and do not have much protective gear and armor, there are white-haired troops around him, he is not afraid.
Liu Yong said: "Go and see!" ”
When Liu Yong climbed the city wall, Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi were already checking the enemy's situation, the county commander Yu Fang was also there, and there were five or six hundred county soldiers guarding the four city walls. Seeing Liu Yong arriving under the escort of Kou Feng and Ling Tong, he hurriedly came over to salute.
"How's it going?" Liu Yong asked.
Zhao Yun stepped forward and said, "Lord, there are about 3,500 barbarians, who are hiding in the woods in the south, what do they seem to be waiting for?" ”
Liu Yong turned his head and asked Yu Fangdao: "How was the situation when the barbarians came to attack the city before?" ”
Yu Fang's face was a little ugly, and he replied respectfully: "Back to the lord, in the past, I used to come once a month, and once every six months, but there were not so many people, and there were generally only hundreds or thousands of people. After all, they live in tribes, and there are not too many people in each tribe. Excluding the old and weak, women and children, the number of young and strong people who can participate in the war generally does not exceed 1,000. ”
Liu Yong's eyes shrank, and he seemed to smell a smell of conspiracy.
Turning his head to Chen Zhi, he said, "Uncle Chen, you take a few people out of the city to get closer, if the barbarians have any other actions, it is best to catch a useful live mouth and come back." ”
"No!" Chen Zhi bowed down to receive the order, turned around and led five people out of the city quietly.
Yu Fang was puzzled: "My lord, although the barbarians are primitive, they live in the mountains and forests all the year round, and they are very difficult to deal with. The six of them went, it was too dangerous. Why don't you send a few more people, so that you can take care of them? ”
The training of the white-haired army also refers to Liu Yong's training methods and aspects for personal guards, and survival in the wild is a skill that must be learned. Liu Yong didn't have the slightest worry, waved his hand and said, "Wait for a while, and there will be results!" ”
Liu Yong was very happy to see that Yu Fang was worried about the safety of Chen Zhi and a few people, this is a person with a benevolent heart, with his talent, he is enough to be a county guard, and secretly remembered in his heart, all opportunities, you might as well reuse them.
Yu Fang was full of doubts, but Liu Yong said that it was okay, so he could only wait and see.
Chen arrived at the six of them in a hurry and returned unharmed after half an hour, while carrying a stunned barbarian man in his hand.
Yu Fang's eyes widened, a little unimaginable.
woke up the barbarian, tied him up and interrogated, but everyone couldn't understand the language, so they could only find Yu Fang. Yu Fang called a local hunter who knew barbarian language.
The man yelled, unwilling to cooperate, and Ling Tong was about to step forward and give him a few blows. Chen Zhi waved his hand to stop it. He took a horn sharp knife from his waist and stabbed it in the thigh of the barbarian, and the blood immediately flowed out, and the barbarian was also stiff and did not gnaw.
Chen Zhi sneered, and then said to Orion: "Tell him that at this speed, if you don't treat him in time, he will bleed all the blood all over his body in an hour!" ”
The Orion's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly translated it.
The man was quiet after hearing this, and his face changed slightly, but it was not obvious because of his dark complexion.
Liu Yong said: "Tell him that if he cooperates and can dissuade his tribe from surrendering, in the future, they will become the most powerful masters of this mountain forest." ”
When Orion translated again, the barbarian's eyes lit up and he said something, and everyone looked at Orion, who said, "He said that if this is really the case, he can agree." He is the leader of a tribe called Changli in this mountain. But the Han people have always been cunning and hard to believe. ”
Liu Yong smiled, not afraid that he would not agree. These hardships in life, whether it is hunting or plundering, are all for the sake of the clansmen to survive, and Liu Yong's words have a fatal temptation.
Liu Yong smiled and said, "Do you have the right to refuse?" If you die here, you should know very well what the fate of your people will be. ”
When the brute heard this, his face turned pale.
