Chapter 217: Three Horse Thieves
"Xiaoying, go find some ropes in the car and tie them up!" Zhiwen commanded loudly.
When ambushing the guards of Yanjia Village in the valley, several girls followed to help, and tying people up was not a problem.
Xiaoying's temperament jumped out, and she asked her to point to the horse thief fixedly, and she was a little embarrassed to stay still for a long time, it was just right to tie up people, Nan Nan and Niuniu were calm, and it was no problem to stay where she was.
After Xiaoying happily tied up the three horse thieves, everyone collected their blades, and Liu dismounted and dragged them together.
The horses of the three did not run, they were still waiting for their masters, Zhiwen brought them back together, and the three horses were docile, and they were all mares.
Zhiwen looked at the three of them calmly, but he was a little surprised in his heart.
The process of subduing them seemed easy, but Zhiwen knew that the three horse thieves were not simple at all, and they were much stronger than the two Tartar sentry riders he met in Gyeonggi.
Since he saw Kewang ingeniously use this trick to block the horse and unexpectedly sweep the Tartar off the horse, Zhiwen was very interested.
After returning to the mountain to find someone to practice a few times, I found that this move can be used to have fewer enemies, especially in the case of cavalry combat, the effect is much better than a simple thrust, provided that the strength can keep up in order to be effective in one blow.
For this reason, Zhiwen specially asked those friends with good strength to add this trick to their daily practice, and they were prepared, and he himself was of course no exception.
Compared with Kewang, in terms of size and body shape, Zhiwen is a little worse, but in terms of strength, it is much stronger.
Just now, these three dials and sweeps, Zhiwen exerted his power smoothly, and the power was far greater than the one that Kewang used on a whim, and he was confident that he could beat these three people to death with serious injuries like Kewang, and even if it was bad, it was a broken tendon.
But looking at the current situation, the horse thieves have suffered some minor injuries at most, and these three people are not weak in kung fu.
It's just that with this kung fu, how can you be so miserable?
"Han Chinese?" After pondering for a long time, Zhiwen asked.
"Yes, yes, this son, this brother and I are both Han, I don't believe you took off our hats." The leader replied hurriedly, pointing to the person next to him with his chin, Zhiwen could see clearly, that is, he called his eldest brother.
When they were first tied, the head of the horse thief was relieved in his heart, indicating that the other party would not kill them for a while, but after a long silence, just when he also had doubts about his judgment, the other party finally asked, for him, this question is nothing less than the sound of family.
"What about him?" Zhiwen took off the hats of the three people, and the two of them really had Han hair buns, while the one with the bow was bald, so he pointed to the last person and asked.
"He's a Jurchen."
"Jurchen?!" Liu Cai's forehead was exposed, and he pulled out the knife with a "swish", and was about to step forward to cut it.
Jiannu, Dongyu, and Jurchen all refer to the same ethnic group, which Liu Cai, who has lived in the north for a long time, still knows.
"Don't!" The head of the horse thief shouted anxiously, "He's from Yehebe!" ”
secretly complained in his heart, he wanted to be honest and win the favor of the other party with the truth, but he didn't want to meet people who had a deep hatred with Jiannu, and I don't know if they knew that there were also grudges between the Jurchen tribes.
"Dang!" At the critical moment, Zhiwen made a timely move to block the knife that Liu Cai had already fallen.
Seeing that Liu Cai looked at him puzzled, with a faint anger in his eyes, Zhiwen had to explain, "Brother Liu, this Yehebu Jurchen and Huang Taiji are not in the same group. ”
This pitiful cognition, Zhiwen was naturally influenced by the legendary stories of later generations, and in his impression, it seemed that after the destruction of Yehebu, its leader swore on his deathbed, "My descendants, although there is a woman, will also overthrow Manchuria!" ”
Later, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Cixi and her niece Empress Guangxu Longyu were both Yehenala clans, and the edict of Xuantong's abdication was signed by Longyu, and this oath seems to have been magically verified.
Of course, legends are legends, in fact, after Yehebu was destroyed by Nurhachi, most of the clansmen joined the Jianzhou Jurchens, but it is not excluded that there are still warriors who cherish their homeland and are unwilling to serve the Jianzhou Jurchens.
"Ah, Childe is right, not only are they not in a gang, but they also have a feud." The horse thief was relieved when he saw Zhiwen's move, this Yehe people and them have been brothers for many years, so they naturally don't want to see him die.
At this time, the Jurchen man spoke on the phone, thinking that he could understand some Chinese.
"What did he say?" Zhiwen asked.
"He said that he was a Yehe warrior, and it was okay to kill him, but don't confuse him with those Jianzhou Jurchens, this is an insult to him." The leader of the horse thieves acted as an interpreter.
After hearing this, Liu Cai's anger faded a little, and he asked suspiciously, "What is the deep hatred between their Yehebu and Jiannu?" ”
As soon as the words fell, the Jurchen suddenly became emotionally excited, and it was another bird language.
This time, without waiting for Zhiwen and them to ask, the leader of the horse thieves took the initiative to say, "He said that Ye He helped the old slave chief Nurhachi to restore the country, but he took revenge and killed Ye He, is this considered a deep hatred?" ”
When Liu Cai heard this, he sighed, put the knife into the sheath, listened to Zhiwen's previous explanation, and then saw that the demeanor and tone of this Jurchen man did not seem to be fake, and he already believed it in his heart.
Since they all regard Jiannu as an enemy, there is no need to embarrass him, as for how to deal with these three people, let Zhiwen decide.
"Since you two are Han Chinese, why did you run away and become horse thieves?" Seeing that Liu Cai's knot had been resolved, Zhiwen began to interrogate.
"You say this as if someone was born to be a horse thief." Another Han man, who had not spoken, opened his mouth and scolded Zhiwen.
The leader of the horse thieves kicked him in a hurry, "Did you talk to Childe like that?" ", for fear that Zhiwen would be provoked by him and kill them.
Zhiwen laughed when he heard this, there was nothing wrong with saying this, there are really few people who are born to do such a vicious thing.
"Tell me, what's your name?"
Seeing that Zhiwen did not pursue his brother, the head of the horse thief hurriedly said, "My name is Xue Ping, my brother's name is Tao Yong, that Yehe people, there is a long list of names, no one can remember it, he said that Ye Hebu worships Hai Dongqing, so we will call him Hai Dongqing." ”
After listening to him, Zhiwen didn't speak, only paced around them, and there was a long silence.
Zhiwen has a heart of love for talents and wants to subdue them.
The three of them immediately worked hard, and the Yehe people's archery skills were good, and if they were compared, they should be on par with Jiannu's elite sentinels, or even surpassed.
More importantly, since they are horse thieves, they must be familiar with the terrain here, as well as the distribution of nearby Mongolian tribes, and they are also fluent in Mongolian and even Jurchen languages.
Zhiwen went out of the fortress this time, in addition to taking all the materials of the eight grain merchants in front of him for his own use, that is, to explore the way to collect wool, and with the help of the three of them, he should be able to save a lot of trouble.
It's just that I don't know how heavy their banditry is, before the three of them robbed, they shot arrows for Liwei, and they didn't go directly to people, so it seems that they are not extremely vicious people.
Well, you might as well tell them bluntly, if you want, let them swear a heavy oath, and in the future, even if there is some gangsterism, I believe it can be slowly smoothed out.
If you don't want to serve, then you can't blame yourself, these three people can neither let go, nor do you want them to become a burden, then they can only kill.
