Chapter 121: Recruiting the Wuheng Prisoners of War

Liu Ji and his entourage were temporarily placed in the county government, it was Zhou Kai who took the initiative to suggest to Liu Ji, Liu Ji nodded and agreed when he heard it, Zhou Kai was obviously showing favor to Liu Ji, and Liu Ji naturally couldn't refuse Zhou Kai's kindness.

In the county government, after learning about the situation in Chengyin City and the entire Chengyin County from Zhou Kai, Liu Ji did not feel any frustration, but was relieved.

Now there are only more than 100 people left in the border army of Chengyin City, including those who are seriously injured, so if you want to incorporate these border troops, there will basically be no obstacles, if the strength of the border army of Chengyin City is very strong, it is inconvenient for you to take over the entire Chengyin City.

As for the poor money and food in Chengyin City, Liu Ji didn't care, now Liu Ji has enough money and food in his hands, just gold, Liu Ji has more than 80,000 taels in his hands, and these gold are enough for Liu Ji to buy tens of millions of catties of food to raise soldiers.

Hearing that Zhou Kai gathered all the orphans in Chengyin City and was raised by the border army, Liu Ji couldn't help but nod secretly to Zhou Kai's character, such a top military general with good character, if he didn't get it, he would be struck by lightning.

Liu Ji smiled and said to Zhou Kai: "Brother Zhou, don't worry, this time I came to Chengyin City to defend the border, and General Ben brought enough money and food, and this money and food alone is enough to feed 10,000 soldiers for several years!" There are now nearly 5,000 infantry, more than 700 cavalry, and more than 1,700 auxiliaries under the command of this general, and these forces are guarding Chengyin City, even if it is an army of 30,000 or 40,000 Hu people, we don't need to be afraid! ā€

After a pause, Liu Ji continued: "And in last night's battle, General Ben captured more than 8,000 war horses, and it is completely possible to continue to expand the cavalry and form a large cavalry group!" By the way, in addition to beheading more than 900 last night, he also captured more than 1,300 Wuheng cavalry, most of which are war slaves from various Wuheng tribes. ā€

Hearing Liu Ji say that more than 8,000 war horses were captured last night, Zhou Kai's throat couldn't help but swallow, you must know that even in the northern border of the Great Jin Dynasty, the price of ordinary war horses must be about 200 taels of silver, and the value of more than 8,000 war horses must be more than 80,000 taels of gold, which is a wealth that anyone will be tempted by.

You must know that the border army of Chengyin City before only had 45 war horses, and there were some war horses in it, which Zhou Kai took the cavalry team of Chengyin City to attack the grassland and snatch it back.

Originally, the money and grain in Zhou Kai's hands were almost exhausted, if Liu Ji hadn't rushed to Chengyin City with the border army, Zhou Kai would have been ready to sell most of the war horses and exchange them for some grain and silver.

However, hearing that Liu Ji was preparing to absorb the war slaves and ordinary cavalry of the Wuheng tribe, Zhou Kai's brows furrowed.

"General Liu, if you are not of my race, your heart will be different, many years ago, there was also a general gate in the northern border, recruited Hu people on the grassland, and formed a cavalry unit with Hu people as the main force, but when fighting with the nomadic tribes of the grassland, this cavalry force with Hu people as the main force suddenly counterattacked, which not only brought a very big loss to our Great Jin border army, but also recruited Hu people, and since then it has been sluggish, so General Liu had better be cautious."

Hearing Zhou Kai's suggestion to himself, although Liu Ji did not dispel the idea of absorbing the war slaves of various Wuheng tribes and ordinary Wuheng cavalry, the smile on Liu Ji's face was even better.

Zhou Kai is obviously willing to continue to stay in Chengyin City, willing to become Liu Ji's subordinate, as long as Zhou Kai is willing to stay, Liu Ji believes that one day he can get Zhou Kai's sincere allegiance and get the reward of the system's serial hidden tasks.

Liu Ji then said to Zhou Kai with a smile: "Brother Zhou, General Ben also knows that there is a great risk in recruiting the Hu people, but General Ben came up with an idea, maybe he can make those war slaves and ordinary cavalry among the Hu people willingly serve us in Chengyin City." ā€

On the afternoon of February 5, 426 of the Great Jin Dynasty, just outside the north gate of Chengyin City, more than 1,300 Wuheng cavalry tied their hands and were escorted here by nearly 1,000 foot soldiers under Liu Ji.

Liu Ji, Zhou Kai, Su Lie, Le Yi and others all stood in front of the city gate, and when they saw these Wuheng prisoners being escorted over, Liu Ji took a few steps forward and shouted loudly to the Wuheng prisoners: "This general is the new guard general of Chengyin City, and the partial general Liu Ji is also!" Now that you have invaded the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty, but you have been captured by this general, you should have cut off all your heads to avenge the soldiers and civilians of Chengyin City who died in battle! ā€

After Liu Ji finished shouting this, before the soldiers who knew Wuheng next to him translated what Liu Ji said into Wuheng and repeated it to the prisoners, it caused chaos among more than 1,300 Wuheng prisoners.

Most of the nomadic people on the grassland have their own language and script, but over the years, the nomadic nobles are proud to be able to speak the language of the Great Jin Dynasty and write the language of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Seeing that the Wuheng captives became chaotic, Le Yi beside Liu Ji suddenly waved his hand, and the foot soldiers around to watch the Wuheng captives were nearly a thousand infantry from Le Yi's department, and the fierce battle last night caused Le Yi's department to lose dozens of people, and the total number was less than a thousand.

Seeing Le Yi waved his hand, Liu Bi and Gong both took the foot soldiers with weapons and scolded the Wuheng prisoners, and the Wuheng prisoners who were standing on the side, some of them were kicked a few times, and the more than 1,300 Wuheng prisoners suddenly quieted down again.

After the soldier who acted as the translator repeated Liu Ji's words in Wuheng dialect, Liu Ji shouted again: "But God has the virtue of a good life, and General Ben can give you a chance to live, that is, to join the cavalry unit under General Ben and fight for General Ben, of course, if you don't want to, General Ben will not be reluctant." ā€

Then Liu Ji suddenly showed a hint of an intriguing smile, and then shouted to the Wuheng captives: "In addition, before joining the cavalry unit under the command of this general, there are still some procedures that you need to go through. ā€

Zhou Kai, who was standing beside Liu Ji, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he heard what Liu Ji said, you must know that Zhou Kai was a little cold all over his body after listening to Liu Ji's idea of letting the Wuheng captives serve Chengyin City willingly.

Liu Ji's idea is definitely ruthless enough to be damaging enough, Zhou Kai thought about it carefully, if he is a prisoner of Wuheng, unless he chooses to die, otherwise once he takes refuge under Liu Ji, he will definitely become the public enemy of the nomads of the grassland, and he will not even have the opportunity to return to the various tribes of the grassland, so he can only serve Liu Ji honestly.
