Chapter 48: The Golden Eagle
"Captain Shalina, since you want to be loyal to me, then let me see your sincerity!"
Shalina looked at Yun Mo in surprise and asked half-understandingly:
"Is it a vote? My people have been locked up by them, and there is no way to vote for you, but my loyalty to your lords can be witnessed by eternal heaven. ”
This girl is quite good at pulling calves! It doesn't seem to be a fuel-efficient lamp. Yun Mo didn't get angry, and continued to say with a pleasant face:
"As far as I know, only the Mongolian tribe believes in immortality, why did your tribe migrate here?"
"We were originally a branch of the Qiyan tribe, grazing in Beihai for a generation (now Belga Lake), because where the water and grass are abundant, so our tribe developed very quickly, and as a result, it aroused the suspicion of the Liao Emperor, and the Liao Emperor sent people to our tribe every year to slaughter men, as if it was called the Ding reduction policy.
My grandfather was unwilling to be slaughtered by the Khitans, so he fled with more than 5,000 tribes, and I heard my grandfather say that they had gone through a lot of hardships and died more than 2,000 tribes to get here. ”
When Salina said this, she paused and secretly checked Yun Mo's face, she saw that Yun Mo listened very seriously, so she continued to talk:
"After our tribe settled here, it was true that more than ten years of stable life had passed, and the tribe had more than 3,000 people, and there were more than 1,500 people who controlled the strings.
Don't know why? There were suddenly more horse thieves here, and because of the strength of our tribe, these horse thieves only dared to sneak up and plunder our herdsmen who were out grazing.
My grandfather only had to take the samurai of the tribe to fight with the horse thieves, but the horse thieves fought more and more, my grandfather died in battle, and then my father also died in the war, and the samurai of the tribe also dropped to more than 500 people.
At this time, a horse thief leader named Halim came with a large group of horse thieves, I was only eleven years old at the time, and at the suggestion of the elders, we chose to surrender.
In the past five years, my people have been bullied by Halim, and they have sent all the men of our tribe to dig copper mines, all the women to wash mines, and only children can graze.
We worked tirelessly every day, and we could not eat a full mouthful, and those horse thieves were whipped with leather whips at best, and slaughtered at will, until now, there were only about 800 of my people, and only about 300 men left.
Please save my people, I, Sarina, swear to the Immortal Heaven that I will meet any request of the adults, as long as the adults can save my people, I can take the adults into the tunnel, and I can definitely kill the horse thieves by surprise. ”
This is going to trade the body for the survival of the tribe! But how can Yun Mo think it's weird, Xiang Shalina didn't say that, this girl's thinking is a little out of the box, or she has a lack of strings in her head, don't she know, this is easy to make people suspicious.
But Yun Mo knew that Shalina was telling the truth, if she was lying, it would be impossible to say something like this, maybe Shalina herself was such a stupid girl, and it was really sad that a tribe had such a leader.
As for Shalina's suggestion to let Yun Mo lead the soldiers to kill into Qingfeng Village from the tunnel, forget it! What if this is a trap? If the enemy floods the tunnel, none of the people who enter the tunnel will get out alive.
Besides, with Yun Mo's current weapons and equipment, there is no need to play intrigue with horse thieves at all, all conspiracies and tricks will be crushed under absolute strength.
"How many horse thieves are there in Qingfeng Village?"
Yun Mo was concerned about this issue, because he had decided to attack the city with dignity to avenge the sneak attack last night. As for the allegiance that Sarina said, just listen to it, and don't take it seriously.
It's not that Yun Mo's narrow nationalism is at work, it's that Yun Mo's strength is too weak at this time, and there are too few Han people under him, and if he accepts too many people from the Western Regions, it will definitely not be a good thing.
Li Tang is a fairly open dynasty, and countless ethnic minorities can be officials in the Tang Dynasty, that is, Li Tang has this confidence and heritage, but Yun Mo does not have that confidence and heritage.
No matter what Sharina had in mind, she would never hide the news of the horse thief from Yun Mo, if Yun Mo was defeated, there would be no one to save her tribe.
"My lord, there are more than 300 horse thieves in Qingfeng Village, and more than 1,000 absentees mobilized by horse thieves."
"Absenteeism?"
"Yes, these absentees were forced to help the horse thieves defend the city in order to eat a full meal, so these absentees don't have much combat effectiveness."
Suddenly, there was a burst of eagle chirping in the sky, and Yun Mo hurriedly looked up to see that an eagle was hovering over their heads.
Yun Mo was sure that this eagle was definitely the one that had been hovering above his head all these days.
Yun Mo asked quietly:
"It's the eagle you trained, call it down! I've got the best lamb here. ”
Can Sharina refuse Yun Mo's "request"? Of course not, now Sarina has a request for Yun Mo, not Yun Mo for her.
After being silent for a moment, Sarina took out a black whistle from her bosom and blew it.
When the eagle heard the whistle, it folded its wings and swooped down like a sharp arrow, and when it was more than a hundred meters away from Serina, the eagle suddenly spread its wings.
A gust of wind struck, and the speed of the eagle in the air immediately slowed down, and at this time, Yun Mo finally saw the huge eagle clearly, it turned out to be a golden eagle with an abnormal divine horse.
When the golden eagle stood firmly on Shalina's arm, Yun Mo looked at this golden eagle with envy and praised:
"Your golden eagle is well trained, we were attacked last night, it was the result of the golden eagle's investigation!"
Everyone understands people, just click on it:
Shalina did not hide and shirk, but said while helping the golden eagle comb its feathers:
"For the sake of the survival of the people, it has to be like this."
This reason was sufficient and Yun Mo understood, and he continued to ask:
"You know Eagle Language?"
"Yes, I raised the baby since I was a child, and I know what it wants to tell me with every chirp and every movement."
Yun Mo was tempted, this golden eagle and the person who can train the golden eagle to such an extent, that is definitely the talent he is most eager for at this time, as long as he has such a talent and a golden eagle, it is equivalent to having several all-weather high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft.
Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles!
What kind of bullshit allegiance that Shalina said before, Yun Mo really didn't take it to heart, but when he knew that Shalina had the ability to train eagles, he was tempted, such as how to get this talent, even if it was a relatively large price, he would not hesitate.
Yun Mo didn't plan to use force, it didn't make any sense, if Yun Mo really forcibly took Shalina for his own use, when Yun Mo was fighting with others, as long as Shalina lied about the military situation, Yun Mo would not be able to eat and walk around.
It's better to let her integrate into the team convincingly, doesn't Sarina need help, then fulfill her wishes, doesn't she want food? Continue to satisfy her......
