Chapter 851: Horse Thief, Horse Thief
Su Ren would let him go, which made Liu Hong a little surprised. After running in the snow for ten days and ten nights, www.biquge.info finally found a place to rest. Nie Yi hurriedly sent someone to prepare the best room and the best clothes for Liu Hong, and found the best medical officer to cut off the frozen parts of Liu Hong's body and apply ointment.
The room was warm and the futon was new and had a faint aroma. Liu Hong** wore his upper body, and his frostbitten hands were wrapped in thick linen. Three fingers, this is the biggest gift to Liu Hong in the ice and snow. Looking at the blackened three fingers on the plate, Liu Hong didn't think about it, grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it with a rattling sound. When the last bit was swallowed, Liu Hong said to Nie Yi.
"Clean up, we'll leave after dark, we can't stay here."
Nie Yi nodded hurriedly: "The villain has already ordered to go down, and the son will eat first." ”
While eating, Liu Hong asked again: "What's the situation outside, tell me." ”
"No!" Nie Yi pushed the dishes to Liu Hong: "Su Ren is very ruthless this time, after the son left Hami, Mo Cong and Shao Weng also went to Hami with people, but they left without fighting with Su Ren, and before returning to Shanshanguo, they found that Shanshanguo had been occupied by the Han people, and they fought with Su Ren's people on the edge of Bailongtan, and they were all wiped out. ”
Liu Hong smiled: "This matter is in my expectation, what else?" ”
"What's more, Su Ren left Hami yesterday, took all the Han people with him, and is on his way to Yumen, and this time he didn't get any benefits in Hami."
Liu Hong laughed again: "How can there be no benefit?" Defeated us, and defeated the Mo family and Fang Xiandao, this is the benefit, now there is no threat to them around Yumen, whether it is the Western Regions or the Huns, Su Ren can build the city with confidence, once the Yumen City is built, the Han Dynasty will wedge a nail in the Western Regions, and their army will come at any time, and they can't stop it by relying on those Qiang people. ”
"Oh, yes! Speaking of the Qiang people, our people came back to report that a large group of Qiang people had suddenly left their territory recently and were rushing towards us, numbering no less than 50,000 people, and carrying a large number of livestock, and according to the time calculation, they would arrive at Yumen in about ten days. ”
"Oh? The Qiang people are coming to the Western Regions? ”
Nie Yi nodded: "The war in Qiangdi has been fought for so many years, and it has swept almost all the tribes, and the people who came here this time are all tribes near Ganliang Road, led by Erma, the leader of the Yongquan tribe, as long as they enter the Western Regions, it is the meat in our mouths, and there are not many of their soldiers, most of them are women and children." ”
Liu Hong's eyes rolled: "This is good news, we are just the time when we need to replenish, now the people of the Western Regions have nothing to rob, I didn't expect the Qiang people to take the initiative to send them to the door, when did you just say they arrived in Yumen?" ”
"About ten days later!"
The corners of Liu Hong's mouth turned up, and he sneered: "Very good, order all the rest of the people to immediately assemble and rush to the west of Yumen, as long as the Qiang people pass through Yumen, no one will want to stop us!" ”
Nie Yi frowned: "There, but Su Ren's territory, and Su Ren still has a army of soldiers and horses in Shanshanguo, if it is ......"
Liu Hong sneered: "Don't worry, we don't have to fight hard with the Qiang people, we can leave immediately if we grab the livestock, no one can catch up with us in the Western Regions!" ”
At the same time, another group of horse thieves also targeted the Qiang. As the wolf lord, Thorn is Su Ren's secret disguise after coming to the Western Regions, although sometimes he is Su Ren's enemy, but Thorn's friend is not bad at a critical time. It can almost be regarded as supporting Su Ren with his own strength, without his protection in Thousand Mud City, Su Ren's little person would have already made the family even the pot. Without the thorns of Bailongtan, Su Ren led people to dig until next year, and he didn't want to dig through the thick snow.
After the Qiang people passed through the Jade Gate, Su Ren was the first to write a letter to Thorn, which made it very clear that if you want to gain a foothold in the Western Regions, you can't do it without horses and livestock. Robbing those past merchants is not a long-term solution, since the Qiang people sent it to the door, then you can't blame yourself for being black. In the letter, Su Ren repeatedly told him that horses and livestock could be given to him, but the Qiang people could kill as little as they could, and it was best to send them all to Yumen.
While reading the letter, Thorn smiled: "This kid just said that he will never embarrass people, and let Lao Tzu do it when he turns his face, such a guy is really not suitable to be friends." ”
Ying Guangji said with a smile: "This is the mentality of a big man, talking and laughing with you face-to-face, it's not strange to be put to death behind his back, not to mention that he only promised himself not to embarrass the Qiang people, and told the Qiang people that the Western Regions are not so easy to mix, and the Qiang people can't complain about him if they find death by themselves." ”
"What does Childe mean ......, hands-on?"
"Why not do it? If we don't do it, someone will! ”
"Who?"
Ying Guangji took a sip of wine: "This is a piece of fat meat, except for Su Ren who is forced to promise no way, everyone wants a piece of the pie, this is like a fat sheep entering the wolf pack, you say he can or is strange!" ”
Thorn thought for a while: "The Qiang people are not easy to mess with, not to mention the large number of people, it is difficult to say who wins and who loses when it comes to fighting!" ”
Win Guangji smiled: "Then let's take a look first, take Su Ren's words, let's just drink soup when people eat meat, not to mention that this soup is still relatively thick, which is the most suitable for us poor." ”
Thorn laughed: "Okay, let's drink soup!" Tell me to go down, let the boys pay attention, see the situation clearly before doing it, don't lose yourself without eating meat! ”
After watching the demonstration of the Qiang people, King Hutu left the Yumen after getting off the city wall, as for whether to go back to prepare soldiers and horses as Su Ren said, Su Ren was really not sure. The Qiang people are not easy to mess with, they live in more difficult places like the Huns, and they also raise horses. According to customs and habits, the two races may have been the same race a long time ago.
Su Ren is very busy now, and there are many Qiang people left, most of whom are women and children, and it is very food-intensive to feed these people, and there is not much output. The Qiang tribe is a very strange thing, most of the livestock in the tribe belong to the leader or the head, and the remaining small part belongs to the elders and sacrifices that the head people trust the most, as for the people at the bottom, it can be said that they have nothing, and their lives are not even comparable to the lord's livestock to some extent.
According to the records of later generations, the Qiang people should have been in slavery since the ancestors of that race on the plateau, and since they established the society, if there was no Taizu's army to advance to the plateau, maybe in the 21st century, the plateau will still be in an ignorant slave society. The lord or leader of the high is the soul of the entire tribe, and his words are the lives of all the tribesmen.
Watching those slaves who bent their waists like shrimp back and forth among a group of nobles, Su Ren shook his head and said goodbye under the pretense of having something. As a man of later generations, he had no objection to the intention of servant maids and slaves, but he was not at all pleased with this kind of slave, which was almost like a dust ant.
Han Qing keenly grasped this point and said to Su Ren: "Do you want to ......?"
Su Ren shook his head: "It's not the time yet, they have just been attached, at this time, everyone knows that we did it, at least we have to wait until the people who left come back, and there are a thousand ways to blame it at that time." ”
Han Qing smiled and nodded: "It's okay, since Mr. promised not to embarrass these Qiang people, then you must keep your promise, at least on the surface, you have to look at the past." ”
Su Ren never went to meet with those Qiang leaders again, he couldn't see the appearance of those leaders as powerful and blessed, and he couldn't smell the smell of them. It is said that these people only bathed three times in their lives, once at birth, once when they got married, and once when they died. Holding a wine glass and watching lice burrow through the messy hair, Su Ren wanted to vomit several times.
"I wonder where those people have gone?"
Han Qingdao: "I just arrived at the cold wind mouth, and after passing it, I will enter the Western Regions, but there are already people waiting there, and there is more than one!" ”
"Oh? It seems that the people of the Western Regions are very well-informed! Who is the fastest? ”
"Liu Hong's horse thief!"
"Sure enough, it's him, this guy's family is still there, if King Hugh Tu is not happy, there won't be much meat, send someone to tell King Hugh Tu about this, the bait has been put down, how can it be done if you don't catch some big fish."
King Hutu hurried overnight, and the mouth of the mount had already spit out white gluttony, but King Hutu continued to urge. No matter how good the war horse is, there is a limit, but fortunately, it still sent the owner to the destination safely and quickly, and then the four legs were lying on the ground. Unable to take care of his mount, King Hugh Tu immediately ordered the gathering of generals. The dull horn echoed in the night sky, and a pair of Hun herdsmen hurriedly put down their things, turned around and ran into their tents to look for weapons. The sound of the horn was low and urgent, which was the signal for a great battle.
One of the generals entered the king's tent, and King Hutu was lying on the map to check the terrain. After a long while, King Hutu's fingers knocked twice on the cold wind outlet: "Sudden stab, order you to lead the soldiers and horses of your headquarters to rush to the cold wind mouth immediately, no one is allowed to pass, and those who dare to resist will be killed!" ”
"No!" A mighty Hun general turned around and walked outside the big tent.
"Zheliqi, I order you to lead the troops and horses of your headquarters to reinforce and assassinate, and if you dare to kill someone who is unfavorable to our army!"
"No!" Another Hun warrior will leave the big tent.
The horns outside the king's tent were more rapid and dense. The sound of the hooves of the horses gathering and leaving the camp mingled. The king of Hutu in the king's tent is still constantly distributed, and after just a cup of tea, the soldiers and horses guarding the royal court are almost all drawn by the king of Hugh Tu, if you are not worried about any problems, the last royal tent army does not want to stay. That's the Qiang people, and there are a lot of them, one more person has a better chance of winning, King Hutu understands this truth very well.
The generals in the big tent left one after another, and the right bone was the last force left by King Hutu's side. Seeing the others leave, he couldn't sit still, and saluted: "King, what happened?" The cold wind outlet is the chassis of the people of the Western Regions, could it be that those people in the Western Regions want to rebel? ”
King Hutu shook his head: "It's not the people of the Western Regions, but the Qiang people!" ”
