Chapter 648: Dog Eats Dog
Liu Xin laughed and said: "Saadin, Liu Mou told you just now that he wanted to arrest the concubine of Lan Feng and give it to you to warm the quilt, you can't make Liu break his word." ”
"This?" Saadin hesitated for a moment, then bowed down and said, "Then the little king thanks you for your kindness." ”
Although they are both kings, Pi Shan is much smaller than Da Wan, even if they sit together, I'm afraid Lan Feng won't bother to look at him squarely. Now, there is a chance to press the blue-sealed woman under his body, where will Saadin be hypocritical?
Liu Xin patted Saadin on the shoulder, then turned to Huang Zhong and said, "Hansheng, what's so good about the horse driving?" You won't be afraid of being scolded by Mrs. Huang when you go back, so you don't dare to take a concubine. Rest assured, I'm in charge of everything. ”
Huang Zhong sneered and said: "The lord is joking, how dare you bother the lord with such a trivial matter." It's just that the last general just saw that the drivers are all good horses, and Lan Feng ran away on one of the horses. It's a pity that the car overturned and crushed four horses. ”
Liu Xin doesn't know about horses, but he knows very well what a good horse means to a general who is charging into battle. Since Huang Zhong said that those are good horses, Liu Xin naturally has nothing to disbelieve, he nodded and said: "Lan Feng brought good horses to pull the cart, no wonder he has today's defeat." But good things come in pairs, and you can choose a horse, and a woman will reward you. The other two, one for the evil come, and one for the cloud chief. ”
As a general, Dian Wei rarely had the opportunity to fight, stayed by Liu Xin's side all day long, and became a bodyguard, Liu Xin himself felt a little sorry for him. Now that he got three good horses at once, Liu Xin naturally wanted to compensate for it and give him one. Guan Yu had already complained several times in front of Liu Xin, his body was too heavy, and even the war horse under the seat was crushed by him. Originally, Liu Xin planned to reward Guan Yu with the red rabbit horse left by Lu Bu, but he couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he simply gave him a big Wanliang horse first. As for rewarding Lan Feng's woman to Huang Zhong and Saadin, it was completely to humiliate Lan Feng, who let him go against Liu Xin?
Groups of captives were escorted over, because of the language barrier, the Han army was only responsible for guarding and surveillance, and their identities were identified by Saadin sent people to help screen them.
In fact, these people were ordinary people from Dawan, Shule, Shache and other countries, who were either grazing or farming in peacetime, and were only temporarily called up in wartime. For these people, of course, Liu Xin can't kill them all at once. Like Shule and Shache, this time each sent out 10,000 horses, almost half of the country's young and strong people were drawn, if all these people were killed, the two countries would be basically finished.
Liu Xin's plan was to treat them differently, and when Wei Yan's army arrived later, he would take the captives of Shule and Shache to their countries, and with these people showing up, he could take these two countries without blood. In the future, Shule and Shache will be under the jurisdiction of the Western Regions Protectorate, and the people of these two countries will not be able to survive and develop without these young people. As long as these two countries are completely subjugated to the Great Han, these captives will always be released.
As for the captives of Dawan, Liu Xin would not let them go back easily. As he got closer and closer to Dawan, Liu Xin also became more and more aware of Dawan's situation. There are more than 40 large and small cities in the territory of Dawan, and if Liu Xin wants to take Dawan, he must fight one city at a time. The desert transportation is inconvenient, and almost the entire Fifth Army came to the Western Regions lightly, and the slightly larger baggage was left in Liangzhou, not to mention siege equipment such as trebuchets. Without these siege equipment, even if he attacked a low city, he would pay a large number of casualties, Liu Xin did not want his soldiers to die in a foreign land for no reason, he had quietly given up the plan to put Dawan under the jurisdiction of the Western Regions Protectorate. Of course, this kind of renunciation is only temporary, and he will come back when the Central Plains is pacified and the country is rich and the people are strong.
Although he did not plan to attack Dawan, Liu Xin still would not release these captives. On the one hand, holding these captives can weaken the strength of the Great Wan Kingdom. On the other hand, Liu Xin had to build two fortresses on the Uzberi Pass and the Turugert Pass, as well as a large bazaar near the city of Wuji, and these captives became very good free labor. How could Liu Xin let them go back?
The population of Pishan is too small, and although Saadin has gathered all the young men and women in the city to devote themselves to the screening work, there are too many prisoners, and the progress is not going well. Just got a few beauties from Liu Xiang, Saadin's enthusiasm was also unprecedentedly high, and he hurriedly confessed to Liu Xin and joined the ranks of screening.
It didn't take long for Liu Xin to hear a commotion from there, and then he saw Saadin coming over excitedly, arching his hand like a Han person, and said, "My lord, Gu Muji, Gu Muji has been caught!" ”
Liu Xin touched his head and asked confusedly, "Who is Gu Muji?" ”
Saadin rubbed his hands together and said, "Gumuki is the King of Shache. ”
Shache and Pishan are close neighbors, and they usually do not bully Pishan, and often ask Pishan to pay tribute to this, tribute to that. Of course, Saadin is reluctant, but his fists are not as hard as others, so what can he do if he can't bear to swallow his anger? Now it's okay, it's not been a few days since he hugged Liu Xin's thigh, and Gu Muji, the king of Shache, actually became his prisoner, thinking of this, he couldn't wait to jump up and shout three times Long live. Although King Shache was not captured by Saadin, subconsciously, Saadin had already classified Gumuki as his captive, and they all complained that Gumuji had bullied him too hard over the years.
Failing to catch Lan Feng did make Liu Xin feel a little regretful, and when he heard that Gu Muji couldn't run away, Liu Xin couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "Quick, take me to see." ”
Gu Muji, the king of Shache, was very depressed, he was sitting in the huge carriage of Lan Feng drinking fine wine, imagining what treasures he could grab from the Han envoys after attacking the city, and then the Han people took the initiative to attack. Seeing that his cavalry was almost unable to hold on, he had to put down the wine cup and personally stepped forward to suppress the formation, but the result was still a complete defeat. Lan Feng runs, and of course Gu Muji wants to run too. But he had already rushed to the front, and his horse was not fast enough. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough, knowing that the enemy could not be defeated, he quickly threw away the scimitar in his hand, knelt on the ground and begged, and took advantage of the unpreparedness of the people, took off his gorgeous coat, and peeled off a bloodstained light armor from the dead man and put it on.
Although Gumuki disguised himself as a small soldier and hid in the crowd without showing his sight, and his soldiers did not dare to confess to him, Saadin was unfortunate enough to come and screen the captives himself, and recognized him at a glance.
Liu Xin circled around Gu Muji, who was covered in blood, looked up to the sky and smiled, suddenly his face sank, and he said coldly: "Gu Muji, Liu has good intentions and wants to rebuild the Western Regions Protectorate and seek a little welfare for the people of the Western Regions. ”
In the face of Liu Xin's reprimand, Gu Muji's face couldn't help but change, but he lowered his head and said in a low voice: "My lord forgives my sins, Xiao Wang also supports the reconstruction of the capital and protects the mansion, and he also wants to return to the rule of the Han Dynasty, but Dawan Wang Lan Feng is strong and strong, forcing Xiao Wang to deal with adults with him, and Xiao Wang has no choice but to ......."
Liu Xin snorted coldly, and without waiting for him to finish, he kicked him to the ground and said loudly: "Whoever listens to your nonsense, come here, drag him out and cut it!" ”
Gu Muji panicked at this time, and kowtowed again and again: "My lord, spare my life, Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang knows where Camberin is." ”
Saadin attached himself to Liu Xin and whispered, "Kamberyn is the king of Shule. ”
Liu Xin let out an "oh", raised his hand, stopped the two soldiers who were about to step forward to drag Gu Muji out, and said, "Then you say, where is he?" ”
Gu Muji was very relieved that he had escaped death, and pointed to another pile of captives not far away, and said, "Lord Hui, there is the fifth one in the middle row there." ”
Saadin had a lot of vision, and without waiting for Liu Xin's instructions, he ran over in three steps and two steps, and slipped the prisoner out, and after a closer look, it was indeed Camberin. Cumberin went with Gumuki to crush his army, and he also surrendered with Gumuki. Although he is better at disguise than Gumuji and has hidden Saadin, he can't hide Gumuji, who is always not far from him.
Liu Xin looked at Gu Muji and Camberin, who were dressed as ordinary soldiers, without saying a word, and suddenly raised his hand and waved it lightly. Several wolf-like soldiers pounced on them, dragged the two kings from the ground, and walked towards the gates.
Gu Muji seemed to realize something, and shouted loudly: "My lord, you can't do this, you promised me, you can't kill me......"
A few soldiers ignored them and continued to drag them towards the city gate, without Liu Xin's order, it was useless for them to cut their throats.
"Wait a minute." Liu Xin suddenly stopped the two soldiers, walked up to them again, and said coldly, "Gu Muji, Liu will let you die today." When did Liu say that he wanted to spare your life? If you can make it clear, Liu will really let you go. ”
Gu Muji seemed to grasp the life-saving straw, and kowtowed again and again: "Xiao Wang identified Camberin just now, no matter how you say it, it can be regarded as atonement, my lord, you ......"
At this point, he suddenly couldn't go on. It turned out that he had always been wishful thinking, thinking that if he bit out Campberin, Liu Xin would let him go. But Liu Xin really didn't agree to anything, it was he himself who couldn't wait to point out Camberin without mentioning conditions. was at a loss, not knowing where he had exposed his stuffing, and finally Saadin pulled out Kamberyn now understood, it turned out that Gumuji had betrayed him, and he couldn't help scolding, and struggled to pounce on Gumuji. However, the two soldiers held him down, and he could only jump on the spot, coldly spitting on Gu Muji's face.
Liu Xin glanced at the two down-and-out kings who were eating dogs, turned around, and waved his hand gently. Several soldiers were about to drag them up, but they heard Huang Zhong say loudly: "Lord, slow down!" ”
