Chapter Seventy-Nine: Killing Chickens and Monkeys
The remnant sun is slanting westward, and the tragic battle has finally come to an end.
Because Guan Yu took the people and horses to watch around, but if someone from the Dugu tribe escaped, he would shoot him immediately, and the people of the Dugu tribe saw that there was no hope of escape, and fought back, but the general trend has gone, after a fierce fight, finally Dugu Buyu was captured alive, and there were probably more than 300 warriors of the Dugu tribe who chose to surrender, and the two thousand people who controlled the strings of the Jin tribe lost nearly half of the battle.
Under the remnant sun, he went to Jin Bald Law and led people to escort Dugu Buyu to Guan Yu, and there were more than 300 soldiers from the Dugu tribe.
"What do you mean by going to the pound?" Guan Yu looked at the bald law and said.
"Uh......" Qu Jin Bald Law glanced at Guan Yu blankly, pointed at Dugu Buyu and said: "This person is the head of the Dugu tribe and the leader of the bandits, he has been captured, and he is waiting for the general to fall." ”
Dugu Buyu hurriedly kowtowed to Guan Yu and said, "The general spares his life!" The Dugu tribe is willing to be loyal to Taiwei forever. ”
Guan Yu didn't even glance at Dugu Buyu, but looked at the Jin Bald Law and said: "According to the previous agreement of the lord, the wealth and women of the Dugu tribe are all owned by the Jin tribe. ”
Hearing this, a flash of joy flashed on his face, and he bowed down and said, "Thank you Captain, thank you General." ”
glanced at Guan Yu cautiously, and said, "In addition, can these surrendered warriors be handed over to the subordinates for disposal?" ”
"According to the new law of my dynasty, if you are of any foreign race and dare to show your sword to my Han people, there is only one way to go!" Guan Yu indifferently swept over the remaining three hundred Dugu tribesmen: "There is no forgiveness for killing!" ”
After speaking, Ma Chao beside him nodded knowingly, nodded a group of people and stepped forward, taking over the surrender from the people of the Jin tribe.
"Wait!" Seeing this, Qu Jin Bald Law was shocked and said: "General, these people are prisoners of our tribe, and they should be dealt with by us." ”
"Oh?" Guan Yu's pair of Danfeng eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze was instantly as cold as a knife, and he looked at the Jin Bald Law and said, "In this way, the people who go to Jin Tou want to protect the enemy of my big man?" ”
"No...... Can't! Guan Yu's gaze fell on his face like substance, like two sharp blades, and he lowered his head unconsciously.
At this time, Ma Chao gave an order, and the heads of more than 300 Dugu tribes fell to the ground at the same time, and blood splattered all over the ground.
"As for this person." Guan Yu looked at Dugu Buyu: "My Han stresses faithfulness, since this person has betrayed faith, he is naturally not qualified to survive in the world, since he did not die on the battlefield, then don't let him die too happily, come on!" ”
"In!" Zhou Cang stepped forward with two personal guards.
"Break the covenant and be punished!" Ignoring Dugu's clamour, Guan Yu knew that his cries would be even more moving in a while.
"Whoa!" Zhou Cang agreed, let people get a fishing net, this defeat of the enemy is not the main thing, killing chickens and monkeys is the most important, so in addition to the accompanying weapons, he also brought some torture tools.
In the blank gaze of the bald law, Na Dugu Buyu was broken by two soldiers, dragged his body naked, and then tightened it with a fishing net, tied it to a pillar, and stretched out his flesh.
In the puzzled gaze of the bald law, the two soldiers took out two small and sharp knives, and in Dugu Buyu's stunned gaze, they ripped off the flesh and blood on Dugu Buyu's body one by one.
The torture lasted for three hours, and the terrible screams continued to curse from the beginning to the weak whimpering and begging for mercy at the end, until late at night, under the torches, Dugu Buyu could hardly find a piece of intact flesh and skin on his body, and the blood had already flowed all over the ground, and Dugu Buyu had swallowed his last breath an hour ago, but the soldiers who executed the execution still finished the punishment.
The remaining warriors of the more than 1,000 tribes who went to Jin did not disperse, they were forced by Guan Yu to watch this punishment, many people vomited, although they also killed, but they never thought that killing people would be so cruel, the fear of the Han army, after this execution, almost integrated into the bones.
"Go and receive your loot." After the execution, Guan Yu took a deep breath and looked at the somewhat sluggish Dao Jin Bald Dao.
"Uh...... Be! "Qu Jin Bald Law knelt down a little nervously, after this battle, his fear of the Han people has been integrated into his bones.
"Don't worry, my big man is very generous to his friends." Guan Yu didn't caress it, but said indifferently: "I hope that the Jintou people will always be my Han's friend." ”
"Yes...... Yes. "Go to Jin Bald Law stammered, even if he borrowed his courage at this moment, he would never dare to think about the Han people anymore, not only him, but also those Xianbei warriors behind him, at this moment they already have a deep fear of the Han people, and now if there is a war, they would rather attack the Xianbei royal court than fight with the Han people.
"Let's go!" Guan Yu waved his hand, and Ma Chao and Zhou Cang quickly lined up with their troops and galloped away with Guan Yu.
"Puff~" It wasn't until the figure of Guan Yu and his party disappeared into the thick night that he let out a pop and fell to his knees, and a fishy smell permeated him......
Killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, a Dugu tribe is obviously not enough, Guan Yu did not return to Jinyang immediately, according to Ye Zhao's order, the goal of his trip is not only to go to the Jin tribe, but also several other Xianbei tribes who promised the alliance but reneged on the covenant, all of them had the same fate.
Ye Zhao also informed the Qujin tribe to be responsible for receiving Guan Yu, and sent all the women and school-age children of those tribes to Jinyang, as trophies, these women would be arranged by Ye Zhao to live the life of Han people in various places, or reward meritorious soldiers.
And the Jin tribe did not hesitate, did not hesitate to go to support Guan Yu, every tribe, you can find the body of the head of the tribe or the leader, the body that was cut off is incomplete, that is the treatment that the tribal leader will have, as for the beheaded head, it is already countless.
Before the earth warmed up, from Yin Mountain to Danhan Mountain, a full seven tribes were erased from the territory of the grassland, and at the same time, the fierceness of the Han or Ye Zhao also began to spread on the grassland, accompanied by some rules of the Han Dynasty.
You can not join our covenant, but as long as you agree, you are not allowed to violate the content of the covenant, the Han will strictly follow the covenant, and once someone betrays it, it will be endlessly pursued by the Han generals until the tribe is destroyed.
At the same time, you can't use knives against the Han people, otherwise they will be regarded as enemies, neither soldiers nor ordinary people.
With such a move, Ye Zhao's reputation as a butcher can be regarded as solid, and Guan Yu is also stained with it, and he is considered to be the executioner, but in the north, there are few objections to Ye Zhao's actions, even if it is a scholar, it is rare that he does not speak.
The Han Dynasty was founded for 400 years, and the grievances with the grassland almost continued the entire history of the Han Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty Mao Dunshan to Xianbei when the grassland unified the sandalwood acacia, every time there is a big man on the grassland rises, it is a history of blood and tears of the Han people, and the most serious disaster is the four states of the north.
Ye Zhao's attitude towards foreign races in Shunchang's rebellion made countless people applaud.
And under the wrist of this iron-blooded suppression, throughout the six years of Zhongping, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Ma Chao, Zhang Liao, and Hua Xiong took turns to lead troops to attack, and the scale of the alliance became larger and larger, from three or five kittens at the beginning, to the end of the sixth year of Jian'an, it had developed into a large alliance of thirty-seven tribes.
Although they are only a few hundred people, and there are few tribes with thousands of people, but the thirty-seven tribes add up, and the population is as much as seventy or eighty thousand, but if you look closely, you will find that almost all of these tribes are in a state where there are many men and girls, and in a tribe of 1,000 people, men may only account for 30%.
Of course, Ye Zhao did not object to or even encouraged the internal war of the Xianbei people, so in order to strengthen themselves, these Xianbei tribes would continue to wage wars, as long as there were no Han people involved, the captured Xianbei warriors could be recruited, and some redundant women, children from other tribes would be sent to Wuquanfang City to sell in exchange for weapons, grain and grass and other war materials, so that they had stronger strength to continue to plunder other tribes.
This matter, Ye Zhao had already started to do it when he was in Macheng, but at that time, Ye Zhao had too few resources in his hands, only one city, and after two years of hard work, his influence was only limited to the area of Danhan Mountain.
Now north of Yanze, three hundred miles to the north after bypassing Yinshan, after a year of melee, in addition to the tribes controlled by the alliance, there are few other tribes of Xianbei people, even if it is Kebineng and Xianbei Wangting, in the face of these tribal alliances like mad dogs, they are not willing to provoke.
At the beginning, it was only a small tribe of a few hundred people, but after a year of development, it has swelled to two or three thousand people, but if a tribe like Qujin, which was a big tribe at the beginning, the development speed is not fast, and it is only a tribe of four or five thousand people.
As resources became more and more scarce, there was also a struggle within this tribal alliance, although it would not fight openly, but it would secretly kidnap some women or children with a little beauty on the other side and send them to Wuquan and sell them to the Han people.
And Wuquan's Fang City, for these populations, as long as they are not Han people, they will not investigate the source, the most famous is that the most favored woman who went to Jin Bald Law was captured by people from another tribe when she went out to play one day, sent to Wuquanfang City, and then sold to the Han people, and fell into the hands of Ye Zhao, who was resold by Ye Zhao and rewarded to Guan Hai as a concubine.
After knowing about it, he angrily dedicated the daughter of the other tribe's head directly to Ye Zhao, and was given by Ye Zhao to Guan Yu as a concubine, the head of the two tribes, but he didn't have the courage to run to beg for it, and swallowed this loss into his stomach.
At the end of the sixth year of Jian'an, there was a food crisis on the grassland, in order to survive, a large number of tribes moved south, even if Kebi and Xianbei were difficult to stop, a melee throughout the entire central Xianbei lasted until the beginning of the seventh year of Jian'an, and the population of the Xianbei people was directly reduced by half in this melee!
