Chapter 5: The Place of Standing
In the end, through the count, there were less than 100 horse thieves who could rush in, of which more than 20 horse thieves were killed, several were seriously injured, and the rest of the staff were captured, and those who could not rush in fell into the traps outside, the injury problem was not big, but they also lost the ability to resist, there were about 100 people, in addition to rushing to the front and being trampled to death by the people behind, there were only three or four horse thieves who did not know their movements. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info There were forty or fifty minor injuries on the villagers' side, except for a few serious injuries, there were no deaths, so it can be said that it was a complete victory. There were also more than a hundred captured horses, and more than twenty were damaged, and only a few horses were killed.
Tang Hua asked the villagers to clean the dead war horses well, so that the whole village could eat a meal of horse meat. And the next thing is to deal with them lightly with Li Jin, the leader of the horse thieves, after all, there are more than 200 people, it is impossible to kill them all, dealing with this batch of horse thieves has become a problem for Tang Hua to think about now, and I don't know if the villagers can let them go, otherwise it will be really difficult to do, after all, these horse thieves are deeply sinful. I can't kill it, I can't let it go, and now Tang Hua's head hurts when he thinks about it!
In a large open space in the village, the villagers took all the horse thieves over according to Tang Hua's instructions, and there were two hundred and thirty-two prisoners in the front and back two groups, and torches were lit around the clearing, illuminating the open space like the day.
At this time, Huang Laohan also saw Li Jin, his expression was full of anger, he picked up a stick in his hand and ran towards Li Jin, it turned out that Huang Laohan had a son, and he was killed by Li Jin in the last resistance, Tang Hua also learned the reason for the incident through other villagers, and he did not stop Huang Laoman's behavior. When he saw the hateful expressions of the villagers around him towards the horse thieves, his eyes were full of angry rage, and everyone was ready to destroy the horse thieves with sticks in their hands.
Seeing this, Tang Hua knew that the matter was a big deal, so he quickly grabbed Huang Laohan, stopped the actions of the villagers, and said to them: "Folks, all of you calm down first, listen to me a few words first, and after I finish speaking, as for how to deal with these horse thieves, the villagers have the final say." ā
After hearing Tang Hua's words, the villagers calmed down the anger in their hearts and looked at Tang Hua, after all, Tang Hua is now their great benefactor, no matter how big the hatred is, he always has to give Tang Hua some face, isn't it?
After Tang Hua saw that the villagers had calmed down, he said to Li Jin and the other horse thieves: "You have all seen it, the villagers hate you to the core, and they can't wait to whip your muscles and skin you, you can imagine how many crimes you have committed against them." Aren't you ashamed that you are all from the common people, and most of you are hunters, and now your guns are aimed at ordinary people like you? I know that many of your relatives were killed by the Huns, Xianbei people or the government, but these people did not provoke you, not only did you not protect them, but also slashed them with the knives in your hands, burned and plundered them, and your conscience let the dogs eat them? You've got a good handle on it! They are all your compatriots, and they are all the people of our Han nation! And what have you done to them? Yes! If you have that ability, ability, and manhood, why don't you kill the Huns and kill the Xianbei people, they are the enemies of our Han nation, and they have committed heinous crimes against the common people of our Han nation! ā
After hearing Tang Hua's words, most of the horses lowered their heads. Seeing this situation, Tang Hua knew that the matter was half successful, and continued: "Of course, you may tell me that fighting the Xianbei people and the Huns is the business of the government, and it has nothing to do with us. But is it still possible to rely on the government now? Unreliable! In fact, they are all corrupt officials, they don't treat us ordinary people as human beings at all, they think about how to be corrupt and take bribes. If we want to live a better life, we can only rely on our own hands, rely on the swords in our hands to protect the territory and the people, rely on our spears to wash the blood of the foreign barbarians, we must use the war in our hands to declare war on the Xiongnu, Xianbei and other barbarians, we must let them repay their blood debts, let them know that our Han nation is not to be bullied, otherwise those who offend our Han people one by one will be punished even if they are far away! These are the people of our Han nation. That's like you now, especially you Li Jin, you killed Uncle Huang's son, he only has such a son, how do you let Huang Lao and Mrs. Huang live the second half of their lives, who will support them in their old age, you are really a great crime. ā
Li Jin and other horse thieves were scolded by Tang Hua to the point of shame, Li Jin led the horse thieves to kneel down in the direction of Tang Hua, knock, knock, knock to Tang Hua three times, and said to Tang Hua: "After listening to Mr. 's words, let us really be ashamed of ourselves, and also know how deep our sins are, and we don't want to live, I just want to wait for the next life, and then I must follow Mr. to kill the Huns, Xianbei and other foreign barbarians, protect the family and defend the country, and fight on the battlefield. ā
After Li Jin finished speaking, he took his horse thieves to kneel and kowtow to the villagers three times, and then Li Jin knelt beside Huang Laohan, kowtowed three times and said: "I'm sorry old man, I caused you great harm, you kill me, I have no regrets." Huang Laohan avoided Li Jin's kneeling and gave way sideways, obviously not wanting to accept Li Jin's gift.
Looking around, Tang Hua knew that the matter had already been done, because he saw that Li Jin and the others were sincerely repentant and wanted to ask the villagers to forgive them. In fact, Tang Hua is also selfish about this encirclement and suppression of horse thieves, in this era of the Three Kingdoms, it is normal for the heroes to rise together, and the dead! Tang Hua asked himself if he didn't have the heart to serve others, and he didn't have the ability, those Three Kingdoms novels he read before, how strong and stakes the protagonists were! It's okay to single out Lu Bu, and the wise strategists in the world are like abusing dogs! How unrealistic! Then you have to form a force by yourself and establish your own team, so that you can live a wonderful life in this era! It is not in vain that I came to the wonderful era of the Three Kingdoms, which is also the first step for me to integrate into this era.
After this confrontation, with their own performance, it may not be realistic to let them all return to themselves as soon as they come, but as long as they are subdued after a few battles, and then guerrilla a few times Xianbei, Xiongnu and other foreign barbarians, so that they can completely return to their hearts, of course, it is impossible to just have just these 200 people. The second advantage of successfully dealing with horse thieves is the recognition of the villagers, and Tang Hua has some confidence, but I don't know if the villagers will listen to him.
After sorting out all his thoughts, Tang Hua said to the villagers: "Fellow villagers, Li Jin and the others know that they have committed a heinous crime, but they have not taken the right path, and they used to be the same as all of you, and they were also ordinary people who were bullied by the government, Xianbei, Xiongnu and others. Since they want to repent and reform now, I am here to ask the villagers to give them a chance, so that they can fight the Xianbei, Xiongnu and other foreign Tartars who have bullied us, which is also their way to atone for their sins, so that they can protect the villagers again. As for Uncle Huang, I think let Li Jin retire for your old man. After speaking, Lu Ning got up and bowed to the villagers.
The villagers didn't understand it at first when they saw Tang Hua pleading with the horse thieves, but after hearing Tang Hua's explanation, they still gave Tang Hua this face, after all, the common people were not easy to kill, so they agreed to Tang Hua's plea.
Tang Hua asked Li Jin and the other horse thieves to untie the ropes, Li Jin first walked to Huang Laohan and knelt down, kowtowed three times, and said: "If Uncle Huang doesn't dislike me, I will be your son from now on and send you to the end of your old age." ā
Uncle Huang didn't avoid Li Jin's big gift this time, but just looked at Li Jin with confused eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. Seeing this, Tang Hua walked over and patted Uncle Huang's arm and said, "Old man, you can admit it, Li Jin has no relatives anymore, let him support you for the elderly." ā
