Luo Kaixian sat behind the deliberately elevated cases and was a little silent, and the group of small clan leaders who sat with him also had different mentalities and did not have much to say.

Except for a few sparse leaders who had the courage to whisper discussions or exchange views with each other, most of them were equally silent.

Although they had dealt with the newly arrived people here a month ago, some of the people they had occasionally met were quite kind in their words, and they did not curse or simply speak with whips like other forces did - that did not fit their seemingly powerful lineup, and this kind of false contradiction made people confused, and even more suspicious, they could not understand and guess what this powerful force or powerful general wanted to do.

In such a large camp, their feelings are mixed, with envy, jealousy, longing, and even more depression, doubt, and ...... Fear.

That's right, it's the last word, for the small people who are surviving in the land of Hexi, these newly arrived guys are as terrible as the beasts of the flood.

Because so much has happened in the last few tens of days, and many of these things are thrilling.

When the Donggui battalion arrived here in Lingzhou a month and a half ago, it didn't take a few days for all the surrounding small clans to hear the news, there was no radio or any network communication in this era, but the speed of word-of-mouth transmission was not slow - the news that the frenzied Uta barbarians were collectively exterminated was shocking.

This place on the bank of the Yellow River is hundreds of miles in radius, how much we know that the Uta people here in Lingzhou were originally the gangsters, ruffians, butchers, and thieves gathered together to work as a mongrel group, in this area, it can be said that it is the largest gang of robbers, bullying men and women This kind of word is not enough to describe, it is not an exaggeration to describe it with a full of evil, in the past few years, I don't know how many tribes have been robbed of winter rations, taken away beautiful women, lack of food when encountering the white plague, and the Uta people are not even shy of eating people.

It's not that no one and no one thought of uniting to exterminate or drive out the Uta people, but they couldn't make it, because the party people in Northeast Xia Prefecture needed them, and the Green Cultists in Xingzhou also needed them.

Those who are reckless and vengeful are dead, those who want to unite in the crusade are suppressed, and many more who have a grudge against the Uta can only curse in secret...... And at this time, a news came out that the Uta people had been exterminated, and it only took one day!

How can such news not be shocking?

Within a few days of that, all sorts of new news began to spread.

The newcomers are said to be descendants of the Tang Dynasty and began to stay in Lingzhou, followed by the tribes scattered on the east and west of the riverbank, and began to see dozens or nearly hundreds of random cavalry wandering around.

Datang? Most of the people who have not received education have only heard this word in the stories of the elderly at home, and the lack of knowledge makes too many people not know what the Tang Dynasty was like more than a hundred years ago, but this does not have a great impact on the people of various ministries, because the cavalry wandering around from the east bank of the river cannot do a fake.

The armor of those cavalry was very strange and not common, and their mounts were very rare and rare in the local area, so it was inevitable that some people were greedy - sending tribal warriors to booby trap or sneak attack, but the preset trap was useless, not to mention, all the warriors were killed, and the patriarch who was sitting in his camp waiting for news was cut off before he could even escape for his life, and even the patriarch's family was exterminated.

This was a brutal practice, but the wandering cavalry restrained their violence after the killing, and they took half of the chief's property, and gave the other half to the tribe's people, and supervised the tribe to re-elect a new leader, and then a so-called messenger would take a roll of parchment with Chinese characters written on it and hand it to the new leader, with a line of rules marked in simple vernacular characters.

The rules are complicated, and the newly elected leaders are tempted to ignore them, but they don't have the courage to do so.

In the face of the fierce Lingzhou cavalry, they had no courage to resist, let alone revenge, because they were the beneficiaries of the death of the old patriarch.

After half a month of wandering around the cavalry in armor and without armor, some tribes of half-herding and half-bandits quietly changed their ways, because it was discovered that many of the horse bandits or thieves they had encountered had lost their news, and after asking around, they found the news that the bastards had either had their heads cut off or had been caught in a mining somewhere.

People who have been accustomed to fending for themselves suddenly have a strange feeling, Lingzhou, a hundred miles in a radius of decades, no one cares about it and no one asks, even if it is the Wei Mu family in Huizhou, it is only when it is conscripted or arrested for labor, and now, someone is beginning to set the rules?

As a result, some people began to look at the rules of the messenger from outsider, and because of the disagreement, a lively controversy began.

A few days after the controversy went on, a piece of news made people confused again - the Lingzhou camp sent people to assassinate the leaders of some tribes in the north, and drove those tribesmen to Xingzhou! And it is rumored that the general Luo, who commanded more than 100,000 people, is preparing to start a war with the Xingzhou Ma clan!

Although some of the tribes in the north are kowtow worms, and people are not used to talking to Hu Daala, but these new people are too restless, how many things have been tossed in just over a month?

The constant happenings have made many people's heads a little chaotic, and people with a calm temperament think that the newcomers to Lingzhou will suffer sooner or later, and the people with active hearts are also frightened by the continuous measures, and they have never heard of any big tribe having such continuous actions.

Most of them hope to change the current state of affairs, but they are worried that the restless Lingzhou people will use themselves as scapegoats, for example, to attack Xingzhou by levying the people of the people and ants to attack the city (1)?

The small tribe leaders sitting behind a few neat rows of cases are a little restless, the legendary General Luo is really tall and mighty, but according to the experience of the old people, this kind of person can only watch from a distance and cannot get close, will he take the fate of a small tribe like a weed on the grassland to heart?

If you really want to recruit people, how to deal with it? If you annoy the other party, will it be like the storyteller said that with an order, countless swords and axes will immediately push you out and cut down?

In the blink of an eye, some people felt that the aroma of barbecue not far away had become distant.

As the owner of the venue, Luo Kaixian sat a little higher, he could clearly see the somewhat fearful expressions of everyone in front of him, and after a little thought, he let go of his mind and said loudly: "Everyone, don't be anxious, this general is not a cannibal tiger, what are you afraid of?" ”

As soon as his words fell, a man wearing a leopard skin shoulder stood up from the sitting crowd, "General Luo, I heard that your family is driving out the vassals of the Ma clan in Xingzhou, and the general asked me to come here, could it be that I want to recruit people to attack Xingzhou?" ”

The voice of the question was very loud, and the content was very direct, and the other people sitting with them suddenly became a little messy.

The interrogator was a Han man in his thirties, but he did not tie his hair in a bun according to custom, but wore his hair loose, with a square head and a rough face. Luo Kaixian also saw this person for the first time, and the only person he could know was that the other party's name was Yang Shuo, who was the head of a tribe of more than 3,000 people.

Although the other party's direct question also caused a commotion among some people, Luo Kaixian was not impatient at all, but said a little slowly: "Patriarch Yang, please sit down, General Ben is indeed sending people to drive out the vassals of the Ma clan, but he has not yet wanted to take Xingzhou City!" And...... Xingzhou is not worth the general's wanton use of troops! ”

"Uh...... The general will not deceive me and wait? Yang Shuo still refused to sit down, and stiffened his neck and asked.

If the previous words were straightforward, then the latter question is a little disrespectful. The eyes of the guards who were cooking the miscellaneous items and the guards on duty around them, along with Olki, suddenly widened, and several of the guys who had newly selected into the guard camp even put their hands on the hilts of their swords, and as soon as someone gave the order, they would immediately swing their knives and cut people.

The elementary school field was suddenly filled with a tense and solemn atmosphere, as if a fight was about to be staged.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

(1) Ant-attached siege, the most common tactic of siege warfare in ancient times. In the era of cold weapons, the composition of an army is divided into three parts: regular soldiers, auxiliary soldiers and people, because most of the time the regular soldiers are the core strength of the leading general, so when attacking the city, in order to avoid too much loss, it is generally used to use auxiliary soldiers or simply go around to pull the form of strong men to consume the physical strength and patience of the soldiers defending the city. In this kind of war, no one cares about the lives of the conscripted people, and in the history of the East, from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there has never been a break.
