Facts have proved that Lao Luo's vigilance and the following order to Cheng Shou are not wrong at all.

Cheng Shouru led the people of the two schools to sort out the area around the main camp for five Roman miles, and the number of so-called "merchants" who were driven and gathered exceeded 3,000.

Many people may think that more than 3,000 people will be caught for a while even if they are rabbits, how can they be caught so honestly? You must know that these guys are actually a rabble, and they are not allies and comrades-in-arms with each other, but more of a relationship between using each other and guarding each other. In the face of thousands of archers on horseback, where can they resist?

The reason why I say "merchants" is because many of the people in the team are clearly contradictory to the people and goods and the language - everyone in the team is armed with weapons, and the goods they carry have blood stains on them or are not worth trafficking at all, who are they trying to fool with these things?

Cheng Shouru's nickname is called Cheng Damen, which is naturally not for nothing, when it comes to observing words and feelings, no guy can play tricks under his nose.

After the interrogation, the man with the door panel had a headache, not because it was difficult to deal with, but because he was not sure how the Rai people here would react after all the things were dealt with. So the descendants of the Demon King of the Mixed World simply pushed out this headache for him - sent someone to call Lao Luo to make decisions.

"What's so hard about that? Isn't it okay to take all the heads? Lao Luo's first sentence when he arrived was like this, not that he was thirsty for killing, but that he saw the eyes of these captured so-called "merchants" full of yin vultures, and their unruly and unruly looks like wild wolves, no one would believe that this was a kind businessman.

"But there are too many of them, more than sixteen hundred, and judging by their robes, many of them should be related to the Rayi." Cheng Shouru didn't hide his thoughts.

"Oh? What do you think? Leave them to the Rai to deal with? Lao Luo didn't think Cheng Shouru's idea was unreasonable, after all, no matter how shrewd and resolute this man was, his experience over the years restrained him, and it was unrealistic to expect a city guard to become decisive all of a sudden.

"I want to ...... Forget it, I didn't think about it, don't laugh at me, big man. "It's rare to discuss it in private, and Cheng Shouru can still let go.

"Well, don't laugh at you, look at the eyes of those guys, like wild wolves on the steppe! I can guarantee that once they are released, within three days they will have another group of forces coming to us for trouble. "For this Cheng Gate, Lao Luo is still a little patient.

"I know, all I'm worried about is whether or not I'm going to anger the Rai here." If Cheng Shou can think of this, it means that this guy is not a reckless man, although he often behaves like a self-sustaining general.

"Then have someone bring in Saskin from the city of Rai, and deal with these people in his presence!" Lao Luo's decision was as decisive as when he gave the order in the morning, and for him, only a dead enemy was a good enemy. With the defenders of Rai City on the spot, the people in Rai City couldn't say anything.

Lao Luo's orders are always executed quickly, not only because he is now the security commander of the entire Donggui team, but more importantly, the soldiers who follow Lao Luo feel that this general is doing things coolly, and there is no mud and water at all, and he is really decisive in killing. This is a rare pleasure and temptation for the soldiers of the original Tang Battalion, and there is no bloody man who likes to swallow his anger.

A total of more than 3,000 caravan people were distinguished, more than 1,600 people were tied hand and foot, and the others may not have the idea of sneak attack, but there should always be a fluke mentality of fishing in troubled waters. Lao Luo was not polite to these people, the army is not a place to be reasonable, everyone was rewarded with ten whips, and the sound of crackling whipping was endless for a while. As for whether they will hold grudges, Lao Luo is really not worried, and when the more than 1,600 people who were tied up were beheaded, I believe that these lucky or unruly people will naturally be honest and obedient.

These more than 3,000 people were divided into fifty or sixty "caravans", not all of them were local Rayi, and the ethnic groups they belonged to were also different, not only the common Western races, but even the Punjabi who were obviously from South Asia, and the people of the inexplicable tribes who were obviously the faces of the East, Lao Luo and Cheng Shouru did not have the patience to tell whether they were Han or not, in other words, even if they were Han Chinese, if they had a tendency to attack, they could only be enemies.

Saskin arrived quickly, after all, he had heard that more than 1,600 people were to be executed, and that people from the local city of Rai were involved.

"General Luo, can you hand over those captured Iranians to us?" Saskine's face was a little rosy, they had promised to make a deal, but now they didn't control their own people, the person they traded with was almost attacked, and they came forward to ask for the guy who was caught, which was always a little unreasonable.

Lao Luo stared at the general of Rai City seriously for a while, "General Sastin, I believe this is not your own idea, it seems that the Iranian law does not contain robbers, right?" ”

Sastin was a little embarrassed and speechless, and he could even see the skin under his sparse beard turning red.

"General Luo, you are just a passing caravan, although the scale is larger, but you do not have the right to enforce the law in Rai City!" A shrill voice came from behind Saskin, and the owner of the voice was a guy with a black turban who was about less than 1.7 meters tall.

Old Luo swore that he hated and hated all the sharp-tongued bastards wrapped in black turbans, "Yes, we don't have local law enforcement powers, but it doesn't seem that Rai City has its own perfect legal system, right?" And since you can't keep us safe here, we're going to defend ourselves with our own hands and scimitars. ”

"But your men were not attacked, and as far as I know, at most a few of your warriors fell off their horses and were injured." The Arabic tone of the black turban is still scathing.

"Who is this?" Lao Luo set his eyes on Sassein.

"Abdullah of the House of Nadim, judge of Rai City." Saskin's tone was a little stiff.

"Thank you, General Sassein, then, Your Excellency Judge Nadim, who came uninvited, what would you do if a gangster was caught trying to set your home on fire with a Greek fire?" Lao Luo didn't want to make himself really like a barbarian, although the guy in front of him was harsh, he was still reasonable.

"How can that be? The arsonist was punishable by hanging, and the attempted robber was punishable by hard labour, depending on the circumstances. "Black turban Abdullah. Nadim really has a kind of stubbornness of a reader.

Lao Luo spread his hands, "I really haven't found any difference between arson and robbers, they are both despicable people who seek money and kill people, and you look at the eyes of those people, that kind of vulture and ferocity, are you sure that is your clan?" Maybe I should really reacquaint myself with the fact that the descendants of the esteemed Darius are now just this kind of rogue bandits? ”

These words can be regarded as beating and pulling, Lao Luo has only recently found that his tongue has begun to become sharper, sometimes he is thinking that if he has this ability in the later life, it is estimated that he will not leave the army, at least he can't lead the army, and it's still okay to be a political commissar.

"......" Abdullah. Nadim was speechless.

"If you cherish your people, then you should show the bravery and determination of the former Ismaili (2) and recover the city occupied by the Turks." Lao Luo said with interest, "Instead of conniving at the clansmen to attack us like now, you should be glad that they didn't hurt our people, otherwise in anger, I don't know if I will use your methods to retaliate against your city." ”

"......" no one spoke anymore, even the snarky Abdullah. Nadim was also silent.

So, one by one, the so-called "merchants" with a pair of wolf eyes were dragged out, and the smell spread throughout the empty field, and the soldiers who were originally guarding the battalion walked behind them with various expressions, and then used scimitars, broadswords, and long daggers and other things to cut off the heads of these miscellaneous people who had spied on the main camp at night.

Then these soldiers who had not been stained with blood either with a strong gag or with a bloody euphoria moved on to the next one.

Lao Luo was a little disappointed, he once thought that at least the Iranians at this time were still a little bloody, but he didn't expect that they were no different from the Central Asian tribes in later generations. Of course, he thought too much, the era of Darius and Cyrus was far away from the Iranians, and if the Iranians had such an obvious concept of nationality, it would not be the turn of the Turks to control Central Asia in this era.

The judge Abdullah. Nadeem's vitriolism was just a temptation to yearn for the dignity of the ethnic group, and they had no courage to resist in the face of power, at least until all the more than 1,600 people were beheaded, and Lao Luo did not hear their words again.

However, the performance of the soldiers of the original Tang battalion made Lao Luo somewhat relieved, at least they were not the kind of mouth cannons who only knew how to complain, at least they had the courage to resist with knives, although they would vomit after cutting off the heads of the captives.

Is it cruel? Lao Luo doesn't think so.

For the so-called "merchants", at least he can't leave a future to follow his team back to the east. Any mercy and mercy may be given to unarmed women and children, but the kind of enemy who looks like a wolf? All he could say was sorry, you guys got in my way. What's more, he is now walking on the road with tens of thousands of people, not in his own territory, and does not have the time and patience to domesticate a group of unfed steppe wolves.

For those soldiers guarding the main camp, experiencing the baptism of blood as soon as possible will make them better qualified attack warriors, rather than the soft-footed chickens of mothers-in-law.

In this era, only the blood of one's own people is precious, and the heads of others can only be used as paving stones.

(1) Abdullah, this name is not the traditional name of the Iranians, but a derivative of the eastward expansion of the Green Religion. After the eastward expansion of the Green Religion, all those who did not follow the Green Religion were not protected by the Abbasid regime, including paying high taxes, so both Iranians and Turks adopted Arabic names at that time.

(2) Ismaili: Full name Ismaili. Root. Ahmet, the Samanid emir around 900 AD, led an army against the Turks throughout the Seven Rivers Valley, one of the pride of the Iranians.
