Text Chapter Seventy-Six: The Desert is Lonely
After Xie Shenwei led the army to arrive, the commander of the thousand commanders simply asked his own soldiers to kill Duan Pishan's people and let the soldiers of his headquarters surrender.
Xie Shenwei saw Xie Shence, who was covered in blood, and put a halberd on the chest of this commander, and asked: "You don't know life and death so much, dare to offend my northwest?"
The commander looked down at the halberd on his chest, was silent for a while, and then raised his head and said, "At that time, each was his master, and he had to do it as a last resort."
Xie Shenwei laughed and shouted, "You have surrendered, how can you face my dead Northwest Sergeant?"
The commander replied in a loud voice: "We have surrendered, and we do not seek to live, but we seek to die as we deserve!"
Xie Shenwei still had to ask again, but Xie Shence couldn't stand this kind of sour and rotten conversation, blocked Xie Shenwei's halberd, and walked over and said, "What you said about dying, how did you die?"
The commander breathed a sigh of relief, such a difficult dialogue is really a test of his IQ, Duan Xianbei is the deepest sinicization, but there are still very few people who are proficient in poetry and books, even if he is the head of a clan, he is not proficient. Xianbei sinicization,The most changed is the living habits - clothing, food, housing and transportation,Although the sinicization of culture is the main reason for the change,But the literacy rate of Xianbei people is really low,You can see from their lives that they are deeply influenced by the Han people,But it can rarely be seen from the languageγ
Just kidding, people who can be proficient in poetry and books have gone to the royal court to serve as high-ranking officials, where can a small temple like them of a medium tribe leave that kind of big bodhisattva?
So the conversation with Xie Shenwei just now really shows his lifelong talent (Xianbei is very different from Chinese, I checked a lot of information, and it has basically been lost). If he went further, he could not guarantee that there would be no common-sense miswording. This is on behalf of the tribe to surrender, which is already very disgraceful, if you make a fool of yourself and others are not surrendered, then it will really be ugly to death.
So he respectfully said to Xie Shence: "My tribe is in such a situation, it is all persecuted by the old horseman of Duan Pishan, and I knew that it was Xie Tu...... Xie Dashuai is here, how dare I resist? Now that there are five or six dead in our department, I can no longer move, and I am willing to exchange everything I know for the opportunity for my subordinates to return to the grassland. However, I want to meet Xie Dashuai in person, and I will only say it in person until his promise. β
Xie Shence said with a smile: "Your subordinates have been disarmed, at this time, like sheep waiting to be slaughtered, there is no longer the slightest threat, and you no longer have the capital to negotiate."
The commander replied: "I want to meet Xie Dashuai in person, and I will never open my mouth without seeing him."
Xie Shence looked into his eyes and said very sincerely: "If you don't say anything for a quarter of an hour, I will kill you a hundred people."
"I have surrendered, showing my sincerity, you can't kill prisoners!"
Xie Shenwei put the halberd across the saddle and said, "The Xianbei people have never left adult male captives, so does my Northwest Army have it?"
Women can be slaves and have children, but what can men do? Is eating so much at each meal a rebellion?
Xie Shence thought for a while and said, "My surname is Xie, Xie Yi's Xie, I can represent him."
The commander was in shock.
The young man in front of him really couldn't connect with Butcher Xie. Since he admitted his surname Xie, it was easy for the commander to guess his identity, and it should be the nephew of Xie Tu, who Duan Pishan never forgot. It's just that Xie Tu's nephew can kill Duan Wuwei, and the young man in front of him estimated that he could be more beautiful than Duan Wuwei after washing his face, what could be better than that dead ghost?
So he asked in surprise, "You killed Duan Wuwei?"
"Who is Duan Wuwei? Oh, I see, it wasn't me who killed him, it was my big brother. β
Xie Shence pointed to Xie Shenwei on the horse.
It turned out to be him...... The commander exhaled: this is quite reasonable.
Xie Shence clearly captured the sudden realization in the commander's eyes, and he was very angry: Isn't Lao Tzu just too good-looking? You're questioning my abilities like that?
Xie Shence said: "Our brother can represent the attitude of the Xie family."
The commander thought for about a quarter of an hour and said, "I need your assurances that I will not kill my subordinates."
Xie Shence nodded, "Yes." β
......
......
This place is more than 70 miles away from the Tonglu Pass, which is not very far, Xie Shence can completely release this section of Xianbei cavalry to the Tonglu Pass to make plans, but after listening to the words of the commander, Xie Shence decided to let all the 800 cavalry go, leaving only a Xianbei boy by his side.
This young man is the eldest son of the thousand-year-old, called He Lou Niu Colu, and the thousand-captain is the patriarch of the He Lou tribe, called He Lou (zhi, a voice). This He Lou clan is not the He Lou clan in the Xianbei Old Eight Divisions, it is just a branch, the He Lou Clan of the original Old Eight Divisions has long been split and weakened, in addition to their part, there are still a few extremely weak tribes left, struggling to survive on the grassland.
He Ruoque was deeply suspicious that Xie Shence believed He Lou's words so much.
"You actually believed He Lou's words? And let them all go? Do you believe that this young man must be the eldest son of He Lou's family? Aren't you afraid that He Willow will betray you? β
Xie Shence looked at him strangely, "Am I wrong for doing this?" β
He Ruoque ignored him anymore.
Xie Shence said: "Of course I believe He Lou's words, I would rather believe it than believe it, if what he said is true, then it is very urgent and inevitable for us to rush back to report the news, if what he said is false, what harm is it to make more preparations?" As for whether this baby is his own son, I don't care, if not, he will be slaughtered. You said it was a pity to let go of the 800 He Lou cavalry? No, no, no, I don't think so, it's a pity to kill them. If it is true that he has a deep hatred for Duan Pishan as he said, then letting him go back will only be a trouble for Duan Pishan, and it will be good for my northwest. No matter how small the trouble he can create, it is still trouble, and mosquitoes have meat on their thighs, and I have never been afraid to take advantage of them. Even if it's an uncle, he won't object to my approach. As for his bite after running away, hehe, how big a wave can eight hundred cavalry afford? β
He Ruoque listened to Xie Shence's analysis, lowered his head and thought for a long time.
Xie Shence looked at He Ruoque's silent appearance after hearing this, and his heart was very comfortable: This is the feeling of being confident, and the general trend is in the world, and I am alone, right?
However, Xie Shence was still very distressed and guilty when he thought of the battle losses tonight, after all, there were less than three hundred people left in the Thousand Mo Sword Army, and the Iron Guards actually died nine! Thinking of the cold and mutilated corpse of the young man who had been close to him for nearly a month, Xie Shence lowered his head, after all, it was because he had not planned well, if he was not in a hurry to fight at that time, maybe he would not have encountered He Lou's family, and naturally there would be no casualties.
For a moment, the whole team was silent.
Xie Shenwei stepped forward and said lightly: "On the battle array, life and death have their own destiny, you can survive, not because you are powerful, but because more people have died in front of you, just like you once said, 'Come out and mix, you always have to pay it back', the general will inevitably die before the battle." β
A smile tugged at the corner of Xie Shence's mouth, "It's just that I'm unwilling." β
Xie Shenwei frowned and said, "Don't laugh, it's more ugly than crying." β
"I'm afraid I can't give an account to my uncle, five thousand people, it's only been a few days now, and that's all there is left."
Xie Shenwei's face was calm, and he said: "Where can there be no dead people in the war, if people die today, there may be countless orphans and widows, but there will also be many families who are exempt from sword soldiers." If you don't listen to some Buddhist books, do you have any patience in the face of the dead? If Uncle wants you to train in the Northwest, you have to leave that behind. Remember, there is only one human life, and if you save your life, you can do more. β
"I know, big brother." Xie Shence's voice was tired.
Xie Shenwei didn't say anything more, and stepped forward to discuss the specific marching route with Zhao Qi. According to the plan, the follow-up supply team will arrive twenty miles east of Tonglu Pass before dawn, so as to converge, calculate the time, and there will be two or three hours, and the sky will be bright.
In the early hours of the morning, the outpost reported that it had contacted the supply team, and the supply team had sent people to the copper furnace pass to investigate the situation.
At ten o'clock at noon, more than 1,700 Northwest Cavalry and Modao Army finally converged with the supply, and at the same time received a report from Tonglu Pass, and neither Tonglu Pass nor Huangsha Pass fell.
Xie Shence breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. In the afternoon, Xie Shence finally entered the copper furnace pass, and Xie Shenwei immediately found several doctors to go to the general's mansion to bandage Xie Shence's wounds, and Xie Shenwei himself went to discuss with Shu Chengqing, the guard of the copper furnace.
In front of Xie Shence's couch, there were three captains of the Iron Guard, and Xie Shence asked, "Who are the dead?" β
An older captain, surnamed Sun, said: "The subordinate team killed three people, Zhang Shengji, Liu Guohua, and Qian Liu. β
The captain surnamed Wu said: "The next team killed four people, Mi San, Jia Si, Zu Dachong, and Fei Zhu'er. β
The captain surnamed Liu was relatively young, and said: "The next team killed two people, a pair of brothers, Fan Er and Fan San. β
Xie Shence listened to them silently, bowed his head and said nothing, and soon looked up and said, "Fan San is the one with a scar on his face?" β
Captain Liu was stunned for a moment and replied, "Yes, Little Hou Ye." β
"Fei Zhu'er is missing a front tooth, Qian Liu likes to pick his nose, Mi San has broken a little finger, is it left and right or right? It should be the left hand, and he likes to hide his left hand in his sleeve. Jia Si, who likes to talk about his daughter, often tells Fan Er that he wants to marry his son, Zhang Shengji doesn't talk much, Liu Guohua likes to drink, Zu Dachong picked up a baby girl in Shandong Road back then, yes...... Green? Xie Shence smiled bitterly: "How can I talk to that girl when I go back?" β
Captain Sun said: "We are not careful in guarding the little marquis, so that the little marquis is injured, and I am willing to listen to the punishment." β
Xie Shence waved his hand and said, "You guys go down, there is a letter from the uncle informing me." β
After Tie Wei left the room, Xie Shence walked to the table and sat down, taking a sip of tea.
He remembered each of these thirty guards, and as he said before, he could clearly say the characteristics of each of them, the things they liked to do, and the words they liked to say. In fact, Xie Shence knew on the way to Tonglu Pass that there were people who died because of him, and he didn't ask because he was really tired, and he just wanted to confirm that those people had really left him.
The words he said didn't have the intention of buying people's hearts, he just wanted to say it, he wanted to say it for people to hear, and he thanked God for remembering them. Thinking that he once ridiculed the sixteen-year-old Mi San for not being able to marry a daughter-in-law, but now Mi San really can't marry a daughter-in-law, Xie Shence's heart was panicked, and Xie Shence didn't know how to face the stupid girl with a miserable background in the small courtyard of Weihou Mansion.
To fight a war is to die. Did Stephen Chow say this? Which movie is coming?
Xie Shence can't remember.
Xie Shence walked out of the General's Mansion and came to the city gate, where he saw several wolf smoke rising from the north.
