The reason why he turned a blind eye to the killing of young people was not because Lao Luo was cold-hearted, but because he followed the customs of this era, at least when he had no ability to break it, he had to remain silent.

Is the so-called innocent really innocent?

In fact, not really, in this era, in the territory of Central Asia, the Turks and Qarluqs acted as roadblocks and tollers on the silk trade roads, and they did a very good job, not only plundering assets, but also plundering human lives, the older tribal warriors brandished knives under the leadership of the chief, and the young so-called "innocents" stood behind them to applaud, and occasionally threw daggers and stones twice in their hands, and when they met immature passers-by, the tribal warriors would teach these so-called "innocents" how to plunder.

They may be kind and friendly to their own people, but for different races, they are far from being the romantic people who can sing and dance in later generations, let alone the hospitable simple shepherds.

This is not Lao Luo's assumption, but the reality seen from Ge Shulie's wife and a group of people who have not been killed, most of those people have withered faces, and most of them only have a dirty and tattered blanket to protect themselves from the cold, you must know that this time is a severe winter with heavy snow, or at the foot of the surrounding snow-capped mountains.

Therefore, compassion should be left to your own people, at least to the people around you who you recognize.

……

For Ferguna, this twilight was a nightmare, as he crawled on the ground struggling to wake up, but his aching legs told him time and again that it was a reality that could not be more real.

Half-conscious and half-unconscious, Filguna saw a tall man sitting on his favorite white tiger skin couch, like the demon god of Zoroaster's teachings and legends, and like the king of life and death in the mouth of the Eastern Han people, while he was dragged and thrown to the ground by two guys whose faces could not be seen clearly, like a cow or sheep waiting for the butcher to decide how to slaughter and then put it on the fire for barbecue.

"Where are all the people in Goshubu?" A strange Chinese accent reached his ears, and the voice was very low, as if it had come up from the abyss.

Before Filguna could react, someone repeated it in the familiar Turkic language, and then the tone said something again, and the person in the ear repeated it, but the content of the words was different.

The person who spoke in his ear said loudly in a tone of drink, "Don't waste time, if you don't say anything, I'll cut you into slices and roast them...... When the time comes, you won't be able to die if you want to! ”

Filguna trembled, he suddenly woke up, it was the enemy, the enemy who came suddenly, like a god general who came out of the snowy mountain, his subordinates were all dead, and only four years later, the people of the Goshu tribe came to take revenge, and brought such a fierce enemy.

In addition to hatred, he now has chagrin and remorse in his mind, plus fear, yes, fear.

When there is a black plague and a white plague (1) on the grassland, cannibalism is not a rare thing, Filguna has experienced it many times, and when the disaster comes, not to mention the enemies of other tribes, even his own people have not eaten. Whenever disaster strikes, there will always be old people who silently go out into the wilderness to die, and their frozen corpses will be eaten.

Although the person who spoke in his ear did not know him, he must be a steppe person, otherwise how could he casually say this most terrifying way of extorting confessions?

Filguna didn't want to be eaten.

He only wanted to die quickly, so he muttered everything he knew in a slurred voice, and the guy who kept talking in his ear kept confirming, and it made him feel that the rambling words were more terrible than being eaten, and I don't know how long later, a heavy blow hit his head, and he became silent like a puddle of mud.

For Ferguna, it was all over, and no matter who he was, what he had done, or what he had left to wish, this time no longer had anything to do with him.

For Lao Luo, everything has just begun.

Naturally, it was Lao Luo who sat upright in front of the small head of the assassination department, Filguna, and it was Mu Niqi who kept muttering about interrogation, this short man from the stepping power department was thoughtful, and he turned out to be a good interrogator, which surprised Lao Luo.

"Munic, when you turn back to Kuzak, you go to report to Siedek Nord, and go back to the Judge Advocate General's Office to be an interrogator." Lao Luo said casually.

It is the right thing to make the best use of people, as for the identity of the other party's Qarluq, it is just a matter of one sentence for Lao Luo, the key is that this short guy can be loyal to this team, and the rights and wrongs of the battle of Henglus two hundred years ago no longer seem to matter at this time.

"Yes, Lord, thank you, Lord." The short man Muniqi bowed to the ground, not that the short man was spineless, he and Corn Philo had recently been fighting for the revenge of the team, and they were desperately fighting for performance, wasn't it just to fight for the opportunity to stand and speak in front of this powerful man?

"That's it, let's do things with heart in the future." After saying this, Lao Luo glanced at another Qarlu man who was standing at the entrance of the tent and waiting, "The same is true for Su Mi Philo, as long as you have the ability to use it, if you can pull the stepping strength to the side of my Han people, and you can still abide by my rules, I, the general, will dare to be the master and accept you as Han people!" Do you understand? ”

"Understood, Lord." Su Mi Fei Luo took a few steps forward and bowed in front of Lao Luo, "It's just that the Qarlu people are divided into three surnames (2), and there are still many old people in the Stepping Strength Department who are worried about the blood of their ancestors, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win over the side of the general for a while." ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, Corn Philo." Lao Luo nodded, "Things can be said to people you trust, what will happen in the future, let time decide, I believe it won't be long before the clan elders who step on the strength will understand how to choose." ”

"Yes, Lord!" Su Mi Philo was a little frightened, the courage of this general was by no means comparable to ordinary people, he only had a population of tens of thousands of troops and less than 20,000 troops, so he dared to think about the entire 100,000 troops with 100,000 troops.

"Alright, you can step aside." There is no need to say much about long-winded words, so Lao Luo will stop this topic.

Lao Luo saw all the expressions of Su Mi Fei Luo in his heart, but he did not say anything about it, nor did he explain his thoughts, not pretending to be profound, but analyzing the future development, and pulling together all the forces that could be accommodated, saying this to Su Mi Fei Luo is just a wedge, the future is always man-made, as for what is too big to do, it is impossible.

After arriving in Hexi, it is completely possible to come from the population of Song Liaola, with the huge population in the east, a branch clan under the Gelulu does not have to worry about any storms at all, and his rules will not just stay on paper.

"Olki and Goshulie stayed, and the others led the people to clean up, prepare dinner, and rest here for the night." It was already dark, and Lao Luo didn't want to change places to rest.

Although it can be uncomfortable to be strewn all over the place, it is just a common occurrence for professional combatants. Lao Luo brought out all the elite soldiers who competed in the fist rack, and the weakest of these guys also had three or five lives in their hands.

As for enemy attacks? This kind of cold winter night, there is still snow on the ground, and this kind of mountainous terrain without a good road is a natural protection in this era, and there is no need to worry about any fool risking falling into the ice cave and snow pit to go out at night.

After ordering the trivial matters, Lao Luo turned his gaze to Olki and Ge Shulie, who had calmed down, "The guy named Filguna just now has already said that there are three slightly larger tribes nearby, and the rest of the assassins are all on the side of Kashgar, what do you two think?" ”

There is no Zhuge Liang-type guy around who can come up with ideas, Lao Luo has to hope that he can find a few people who can act as a stinker to replace him, and it is not impossible to rely on him to plan alone, but once there is an omission, it is not good, it is best to have someone who can pick up the gaps.

"It's all up to the Lord!" Brother Shulie, who was red and swollen with eyes, was in a stable mood at this time, but it seemed that it was still useless to come up with an idea or something.

"General, I think it's better to take advantage of the cold weather to take down several tribes north of the mountain pass......" Olki spread the map on the ground and gestured twice, "According to the confession just now, the main force of the assassination department has arrived in Kashgar, and it is difficult to cross the mountain pass in winter, presumably even if the enemy has reinforcements here, it needs to be snowed, just take advantage of this opportunity to cut off a few of the enemy's fingers!" You can also rescue Geshu's people by the way! ”

Lao Luo nodded, Ge Shulie still couldn't count on it, Alki's suggestion was in line with his own idea, "How many were injured in the battle just now?" You know, we don't have a lot of people coming out. ”

"There are only a dozen skin injuries, which is not a big deal." By the time Filguna was interrogated, Olki had already received a summary report from the leaders of the teams.

"Did you send someone to investigate over there?" Although there is a confession, some news still needs to be verified, and the biggest taboo in the war is to use inaccurate information as a reference, and Lao Luo naturally will not make such a common-sense mistake.

"It's been sent, it's not far away, it is estimated that the people have already returned by this time."

"Hmm...... So be it! Goshulie go and comfort your people, find them the right clothes to change into, and heal their wounds until they return to Kuzak. Alki informed everyone that after dinner, they should hurry up and repair, and set off early tomorrow morning to raid the rest of the tribes. Old Luo Huoran got up and gave a military order directly.

The assassination department was the main target of this revenge search, and some of the combat readiness forces went to Kashgar with Qadir Khan, and the remaining scattered tribes were only more than 1,000 people each, and a quick surprise attack with hundreds of elite soldiers was enough.

As for the revenge of the assassination department later, it was not taken seriously by Lao Luo at all, anyway, it was the enemy, and if he killed some of them, he would have less of them, so there was nothing to worry about.

(1) Black and white disasters refer to the disaster climate on the grassland. Black plagues are mostly caused by droughts with scarce precipitation, because of the lack of drinking water, animals are often sick and emaciated, and female animals are aborted, which mostly occur in early spring; The white plague is the severe snow in winter, the cold is unbearable, and animals that cannot find food will freeze and starve to death, and humans are no exception. This is the most terrifying thing in the grassland in ancient times.

(2) The three surnames of Gelulu, Gelulu, also known as Geluolu, Karluk, was active in Central Asia from the sixth century to the thirteenth century AD, and the language used was Turkic, and he was a descendant of the ancient Tiele. It is divided into three surnames, for the assassination (plot), blazing (Po 匐), stepping on strength. Therefore, in some historical documents, it is often said that the three surnames are Gelulu, and their leader is called Ye Hu, also known as Inal, so it is also called the three surnames Ye Hu.
