Chapter 122: Letter of Allegiance
Liu Ji announced that he would recruit the Wuheng captives and join the cavalry under his command, and the Wuheng captives were all relieved, as long as they didn't cut off their heads, it would have no impact on them, and they could find an opportunity to return to the tribes of the grassland in the future.

Even the war slaves in the Wuheng captives also have the idea of returning to the Wuheng tribe in their hearts, after all, in the consciousness of the people of all tribes in the grassland, they are different from the Jin people, the Jin people have been synonymous with cowardice in the grassland for hundreds of years, they can be the war slaves of other ethnic tribes in the grassland, but they can't be submissive to the Jin people, and they can't accept it emotionally.
However, Liu Ji's so-called procedures immediately shocked all the Wuheng captives, and they immediately made a noise, especially the officers and nobles among the Wuheng captives, who scolded without regard for their own situation.
It turned out that Liu Ji asked all the Wuheng captives who were willing to take refuge in him to write their names on the top of a letter of allegiance and put their handprints, and they had to read the letter of allegiance aloud in front of all the Wuheng captives.
As for the main content of the allegiance book, it is a passage that curses the Great Khan and the King of the various nomadic peoples on the steppe, especially the names of the Wuheng and Wei Great Khan and several powerful nomadic Great Khans, and the remaining nomadic Great Khan and Zongwang are just a general term, this passage is made up by Liu Ji, and the scolding is absolutely ruthless and vicious.
At the same time, the allegiance letter also requires Wu Heng's captives to swear in the name of their own families that from now on, they will be loyal to Liu Ji and never betray, if they betray Liu Ji, the whole family will die.
If you press your handprint on this letter of allegiance and read it in public, then these Wuheng captives will have no way out, once they return to the tribes of the grassland in the future, the matter of the letter of allegiance is revealed, and the patriarch of the tribe will not consider whether you are coerced, and you will definitely die a good death, after all, signing the letter of allegiance is equivalent to cursing the rulers of the entire grassland, no tribe is willing to leave such a big trouble, and even in order to show loyalty, how cruel and how the tribal patriarch will deal with you!
It's a pity that the Wuheng captives didn't even have a chance to bet that the letter of allegiance would not be exposed, Liu Ji clearly told them that this letter of allegiance would soon spread all over the grassland, and all the prisoners who joined the cavalry troops under Liu Ji would become enemies of all tribes in the grassland after signing the letter of allegiance, and there was no way back.
Seeing the chaotic Wuheng captive, Liu Ji showed a sneer, and then nodded to Le Yi, and then Le Yi made a gesture to Liu Bi.
When Liu Bi received Le Yi's gesture, he ordered the foot soldiers to pull out the dozen officers and nobles who were scolding in the Wuheng captives, and then pressed them to their knees on the ground, and cut off their heads very simply, and suddenly the noise of the Wuheng captives was gone.
Liu Ji snorted coldly and said: "General Ben is not something that anyone can scold, whoever dares to make a noise will end up with these people!" The allegiance to the book general has already written it for you, and those who can write their own names, write their own names, and then press their handprints, and from now on they will be my Liu Ji's soldiers! If you don't know how to write your name, someone will write it for you, just press your handprint, don't be smart, make a fake name, the consequences are definitely not what you are willing to bear. ”
Next, Gong Du took a thick stack of allegiance letters, walked in front of the captured Wuheng ordinary cavalry and foot soldiers, and randomly named a prisoner.
At this time, many foot soldiers moved over one by one, and placed a row next to Gong Du, on which were placed brushes, ink tables, and red ink.
The captive was dragged out of the crowd by two foot soldiers, and then Gong Du asked in a deep voice, "Are you willing to join our cavalry troops of the Great Jin Dynasty and be loyal to General Liu Ji?" ”
The Wuheng captive was silent for a long time and didn't speak, didn't say yes or no, so Gong Du sneered and said: "It seems that you don't know the current affairs, so you will be taken to the side and cut directly!" ”
"Don't-don't-I'll sign, I'll press my handprint!" As soon as the Wuheng captive heard that he was going to cut off his head, he immediately panicked and shouted in stiff Jin dialect.
After that, the Wuheng captive was untied from his hands, he came to the front of a table, trembled and picked up a brush and dipped the ink in the ink table, and then wrote his name in Wuheng script on a letter of allegiance that Gong Du put down, and pressed a red handprint.
Gong Du picked up this letter of allegiance and asked the soldiers around him who knew Wuheng's characters, and then asked the Wuheng prisoner with an expressionless face: "Who can prove that your name is this, if no one proves it, then it can only be dealt with according to the fact that you are deceiving us, you should know the meaning of the treatment." ”
"Yes! As you can prove, there are quite a few people in our tribe here, and they all know what my name is! The Wuheng captive said urgently.
Later, it turned out that the Wuheng captive did not make up a name, it was indeed his real name, and Gong Du asked the Wuheng captive to read the letter of allegiance in Wuheng in public, and it was only after completing the whole process.
Among the captured Wuheng ordinary cavalry and war slaves, not all of them are willing to sign this letter of allegiance with no way out, of course, Liu Ji and they will not be polite, as long as the Wuheng prisoners who do not sign the letter of allegiance are all beheaded, and there are some Wuheng prisoners with fake names, hoping to get away with the chaos, they were also found out and sentenced to capital punishment, killing a hundred examples!
Throughout the afternoon, the Wuheng captives were drawing and taking oaths, and in the end, 1,286 Wuheng captives had their handprints on their allegiances, and only more than 40 recalcitrant ones had their heads cut off.
These ordinary Wuheng cavalry and war slaves are relatively lucky, after all, they still have a choice.
And the remaining dozens of frightened Wuheng officers and nobles did not even have the right to choose to be loyal to Liu Ji, and Liu Ji had no intention of recruiting them into his cavalry unit.
Among the 1,286 Wuheng captives who chose to sign the letter of allegiance, more than 460 were ordinary cavalrymen of the tribe, and unlike the remaining 800 or so tribal war slaves, their families still lived among the tribes of the grassland.
After Liu Ji signed the letter of allegiance to the Wuheng captives, he smiled and said: "For these nobles and cavalry officers of your previous tribe, General Ben is not interested, now their life and death are in your hands, if you are willing to let them return to the grassland tribe and publicize your betrayal of the grassland, then let them loose and let them go, if you don't want your family to be persecuted, you know what to do!" ”
At this time, an ordinary cavalryman of the Wuheng tribe asked in the Jin dialect: "Respected general, didn't you say that you want to spread the letter of allegiance we signed all over the grassland?" Then even if we don't let the adults of the tribe go back to the grassland now, there is no point in it! ”
Liu Ji shook his head and said: "General Ben will only let the tribes of the grassland know that the warriors of the grassland tribes under the command of General Ben have completely broken with the grassland, but these tribesmen of yours know that you all have oegiance to General Ben and who your family members are!" ”
After Liu Ji finished saying these words, the more than 800 war slaves of the Wuheng tribe did not have much reaction, after all, only a very small number of war slaves still had families.
However, the ordinary cavalry of the Wuheng tribe of more than 460 people looked at the remnants of dozens of Wuheng cavalry officers and nobles with murderous eyes.
And these Wuheng cavalry officers and nobles kept begging for mercy at this time, hoping that Liu Ji would let them live, and they were also willing to sign a letter of allegiance.
Liu Ji looked at the dozens of Wuheng cavalry officers and nobles who were crying for mercy, pursed his lips, turned around and took a few generals around him, turned around and walked towards the north gate of Chengyin City.
didn't go far, there was a scream behind Liu Ji, hundreds of Wuheng cavalry who had just been loyal to Liu Ji, rushed to the side of these tribesmen in the past, and killed these dozens of Wuheng cavalry officers and nobles with their bare hands, and the death was extremely miserable.
Zhou Kai, who was beside Liu Ji, heard the screams and glanced back, swallowed his saliva, and hurriedly followed behind Liu Ji.
And Liu Ji didn't even look back, the rhythm of his pace didn't change, after staying in this world for so long, Liu Ji has gradually adapted to this cruel world!
