Chapter 28: Enduring humiliation and stealing life
The Tiandejun is a border town, and the size of Yacheng is very small. After the Wang family's family of 328 men, women, and children moved into Yacheng, they couldn't find a suitable place to settle for a while. Wu Guihao ordered the Lotus Temple to be vacated and closed people, the Lotus Temple was built on the earthen platform on the west side of Yacheng, because Wang Qian believed in Buddhism, often had alms, after many years, the area of the Lotus Temple was even larger than the dental department.
Threatening each other's family members, although some are not so above board, it is a panacea that has been tried and tested. Wu Guihao sent his brother Wu Guicheng and nephew Mei Yuanyuan to lead troops to guard, and no one was allowed to enter or leave the Lotus Temple without his own warrant. In addition to the Wang family, the families of the former soldiers of Tiande and the Huyan Valley garrison also received special "care", and the families of individual key figures were also moved into Yacheng and temporarily settled in the granary south of the Lotus Temple. The granaries of the city were already empty, and the hungry rats had moved.
Wu Guihao granted Ma Yuetian the important post of deputy envoy of the German army and former army commander, and handed over all the 13 counties of Henan and the 16 military villages west of Muna Mountain.
Ma Yue used a "drag" trick for this, that is, he did not accept it, nor did he refuse, and waited and waited for the changes in the situation. Most of the family members of former soldiers and soldiers were in the city, and most of the family members who were not in the city also bought property in the city. Wu Guihao let people let out the wind: if they are willing to return to serve, their family's property will be preserved, and they will be reused.
For those who follow Ma Yue or Wang Lin with all their hearts, Wu Guihao will not be soft. On the night after he established himself as a stayer, he raided the home of Min Tong, the supervisor of the Tiande Army's grain and grass, on charges of embezzlement of public funds. Min Tong himself was beheaded, his family property was confiscated, and his wife and daughter were confiscated as slaves. Whether Min Tong is corrupt or not, everyone dare not say, but this person has a close relationship with the Wang family, and it is a fact that everyone knows that he would rather die than obey Wu Guihao. Wu Guihao's intention to use him is obvious: "Follow me to prosper, and those who oppose me will die."
Wu Guihao asked people to draft a letter, forcing Lou Yuan'er and Yan to copy one each, persuading Wang Feng and Wang Lin to return to the city. Lou Yuan'er copied the letter, but Yan refused to obey. Wu Guihao counted the words on the letter, and asked the guards to escort the same number of Wang family children to Yan, threatening: "If you write one less word, I will cut off a head." Everyone fell to the ground and pleaded, and the cry shook the sky, and Yan had no choice but to comply.

In April, the grass on both sides of the Datong River is full of greenery, and the flowers are spread on the ground, which is a thriving scene.
The vultures Tuguma led six young men of his tribe and drove their emaciated sheep to the pasture. After a winter in captivity, the livestock had gray fur and were skinny. However, this year, the sky is particularly eye-catching, since the beginning of spring, the wind and rain have been smooth, and the grass in the grassland has grown very well, especially the grassland near Datongchuan. What shepherd doesn't like that green blanket-like meadow?
"The Han are coming." A young man standing on the dirt slope and looking around gave a whistle, and the shepherds cried out in alarm. Datongchuan was under the jurisdiction of the Tiande Army, but the Han people did not graze herd, and as long as they gave some gifts to local officials every year, they would turn a blind eye. But this year is different, the new leader, Bai Shuihu, is now leading the tribe to fight against the Han Chinese. The Han people must have hated the Murowei people who trampled on their homeland, how could they still let them graze on the pastures?
"Stop! If you run again, I'll let go of the arrows. "The Han officers and soldiers dispatched more than 30 people and surrounded them on three sides. The herdsmen would have had a chance to escape, but who would give up their sheep? What's more, the Han people are different from the Khitan and Xi people, they generally only detain sheep and do not kill people, while the Khitan and Xi people shoot the shepherds first, and then rob the cattle and sheep.
"Don't you know that there is a ban on the grassland?" A young man in the Tang Army asked. He wasn't very old, but he had a sharp gaze and looked like the leader of the crowd.
"Yes, but where can we go but graze here? My honorable sir, please give us a way to live, for our cattle and sheep are thinner than at any time of the year, and the ewes are no longer able to produce milk. "Because they have been active on the border for many years, the people of Murowei speak Chinese very well.
"Who can blame then, don't you have a good leader who is wise and capable? Why don't you ask him for help, maybe he can ask God for you to get a piece of pasture. ”
"Don't mention this demon, the Tanda people don't recognize him as a khan."
"If you don't admit it, you still have to work for him?" The young man sneered, "You have tens of thousands, but he is only two or three hundred, why should you be held hostage by him?" ”
Tuguma sighed, "It's only our old leader who was deceived by him, and he still believes in him to this day." ”
The young man blinked and asked, "If your old leader doesn't trust him now, are you willing to help the leader regain everything he lost?" ”
Several shepherds affirmed: "Immortal Heaven can testify that we are willing to fight to the last drop of blood." ”
The young man nodded and said, "I hope you can keep your promise." The pasture is Datang's, and Datang's pasture allows friends to graze horses, but enemies are never allowed to occupy it. The shepherds looked at each other, wondering what the young man would do when he said this. To their surprise, the young man turned his horse and left, as did his attendants.
A young shepherd asked Tuguma, "Why don't the Han people drive us away?" Tuguma looked at the horse team galloping among the green grass and wild flowers and said, "The Han people are hard to figure out, you never know what they are thinking. ”
The young man who spoke to Tuguma was Guan Suo, and after leaving the Datongchuan grassland, he went all the way south to the old land of the Tiande army. It is an almost abandoned town. During the Tianbao period, it was the seat of the Tiande army, and after several falls, the city was destroyed, and the Tiande army was moved east to the north of Muna Mountain. In modern times, the Tiande Army was built to make a festival, and this place was reduced to a military village, but the old man still called it the Tiande Army.
A month earlier, the three surnamed Muwei people north of Datongchuan were ordered to go south to capture this place, and garrison 1,500 troops to guard Fengzhou to prevent the Xining army from advancing westward. Yang Hao transferred the Tiger Battalion, the Jingqi Battalion, and the First Police Battalion to cross the Yellow River eastward, raided the three surnames of Tianmuro Wei, and defeated them. On the way to the north, the remnants were intercepted by the leopard battalion, the Fengya battalion, and the Xiaocai battalion, and the three surnames had to abandon their weapons and surrender. Yang Hao returned all the cattle and sheep to them, and in this way obtained the new appointment of the leaders of the three surnames. After that, Yang Hao proposed to send troops to help Jin Mili regain the position of Khan, and the three leaders all agreed, and expressed their willingness to act as the vanguard of the Tang army.
Prior to this, Yang Hao had asked Guan Suo to go deep into the old vulture to collect intelligence and find Jin Mili's whereabouts. Guan Suo did not fail in his mission, not only comprehensively collected the intelligence of the Murowei people, but also found Jin Mili, who was imprisoned by the white water fox in the cave of Niutou Chaona Mountain. It's just that I didn't bring him back because I was afraid that there would be changes on the road.
Yang Hao, with Jiang Tao as the main commander, led the Leopard Battalion, the Fengya Battalion, and the Jingqi Battalion together with the three surnames of Datongchuan to immediately march into the old land of the Vulture Tribe, support Jin Mili to restore the position, and cut off the route of the white water fox's northward retreat. He led the cavalry battalion, the iron bell battalion and the first police battalion to march to the north of Muna Mountain. On the one hand, the city was surrendered in the middle of the attack, and on the other hand, it could echo with Jiang Tao's department. The Golden Wind Camp and the Flying Tiger Camp marched along the river.
――――――――――
Outside the southern pass of Huyan Valley, the soldiers of the Murowei Department were cleaning up the battlefield, cleaning up the corpses and discarded ordnance.
The White Water Fox captured the Huyan Valley at the cost of 300 men killed, killed 500 enemies and captured 2,003 enemies, and he incorporated these captives into his own camp, and according to the old custom of the Murwei people, most of these captives will be killed, and a few will be punished as slaves. Qu Chuji persuaded the White Water Fox not to kill the captives indiscriminately, but to use them for his own use.
The crossbow was escorted over with a disapproving sneer on his face.
"Pony, are you convinced?" The White Water Fox looked at him defiantly.
"What are you proud of, you can't win me without the old man helping you?" The crossbow snorted disdainfully.
"Pony, I heard that your sister divorced her husband, and now no one wants to stay at home."
"So what?" The crossbow of the horse is blue and the skin is blue.
"You give her to me, let's get married, and I can let you go." Looking at the crossbow's red face, the white water fox felt very interesting and teased him unscrupulously.
"I'll fight with you!" The horse crossbow collided headlong, but was thrown to the ground by the blood bone duo (guard pro-army) next to the white water fox, and the blood bone duo held down the horse crossbow, grabbed the horse manure and stuffed it into his mouth. The white water fox looked at it with interest and laughed.
Qu Chuji rode over on a skeletal white horse with smooth and shiny fur, and a trace of anger jumped in the eyes of the white water fox. He waved his hand and motioned for his soldiers to take their crossbows down, and met them with all his armor.
"Sir, this horse is truly a rare horse in the world." The White Water Fox made no secret of his affection for this white horse. Qu Chuji jumped off the horse: "If the Khan likes it, he will give it to the Khan." ”
"Really?" The White Water Fox was overjoyed.
"BMW gives heroes." Qu Chuji laughed.
The white water fox gently stroked the white horse's oily fur, and he wanted to jump on the horse's back and go for a walk, but in the end he held back.
"What is the Khan going to do with the crossbow?" Qu Chuji looked at the back of the crossbow in the distance, and said meaningfully: "This person is a treasure." ”
"Naturally, according to Mr.'s idea, I used him as a gift to form an alliance with Ma Yue."
"Well," Qu snorted with satisfaction, "then the Germans will have it at their fingertips." ”
Huyan Valley is the north gate of the Zhongshou City, and the gate is in the hands of outsiders, can the master still sleep? On the day that the White Water Fox captured Huyan Valley, he received a handwritten letter from Wu Guihao, in which Wu Guihao blamed Wang Feng for all the sins of the defeated alliance, and he himself was very willing to renew the friendship of allies with the White Water Fox.
The White Water Fox agreed to renew the alliance between the two families, on the condition that they hand over Wang Feng's mother and son, return the Nanzhai and Xizhai that were taken by Wang Feng and Wang Lin, and allow his wounded soldiers to stay in the city to recuperate. Wu Guihao agreed to come down, Nanzhai is in his hands, this is easy to decide. Xizhai is occupied by Wang Lin, and it takes a little brain, but this is not difficult for Wu Guihao, after all, he still has a lot of chips available in his hand.
Wang Feng's mother and son were secretly escorted to the White Water Fox camp, and the White Water Fox humiliated Wang Feng in public and punished him for raising horses in the stable as a slave. Wang Feng's biological mother Lou Yuan'er was taken by the white water fox as soon as she entered the camp and left her to sleep. Lou Yuaner didn't dare to shirk. Whatever the white water fox asked her to do, she did it, and she concentrated on her strength, without feeling wronged. The white water fox got Lou Yuan'er like a treasure, and ran to the sleeping tent with a burning heart as soon as the daily business was over.
On this day, the white water fox returned to the sleeping tent after discussing business, and heard Lou Yuan'er and a man talking in the tent from a distance. The white water fox was furious, drew his sword and rushed in. Seeing that the man hurriedly hid behind Lou Yuan'er, the white water fox saw that it was Wang Feng, and his heart was even more angry, and he slashed with a knife. Wang Feng took the road and fled. The white water fox was about to chase after him, but was hugged by Lou Yuan'er and begged bitterly. The white water fox said angrily: "I will spare the lives of your mother and son, and give you brocade clothes and jade food." Why are you plotting against me? ”
Lou Yuan'er cried and said: "The Khan is aware that the concubine has no intention of murdering the Khan. This afternoon, the concubine was walking around the camp when she heard a few old soldiers talking about my son not having enough to eat and dress in the stable, and he was often bullied. When the concubine heard this, her heart and gall were broken, so she called him into the sleeping tent and gave him some snacks. I don't want to anger the Khan, the fault lies with the concubine, the concubine deserves to die, please ask the Khan to surrender. ”
The white water fox looked at the poor Lou Yuan'er, and his heart was already numb. He stepped forward to help Lou Yuan'er, hugged her thin waist, and comforted her softly: "It's me who blames you, don't take it to heart." "Lou Yuan'er is thirty-four years old, because of proper maintenance and frequent dancing, her figure is maintained very well, her waist has both the slenderness of a girl and the softness of a mature woman. After the white water fox put his arms around her waist, his hand slid down inch by inch......
"Xie Khan's grace is not responsible." Lou Yuan'er used the excuse of thanksgiving and skillfully got rid of the presumptuous hand of the white water fox. The white water fox did not feel the slightest displeasure, he helped Lou Yuan'er up again, grabbed her arms with both hands, opened Lou Yuan'er's clothes with his mouth, stretched out his long tongue and licked it on Bai Nen's neck.
Lou Yuan'er was extremely disgusted in her heart, she violently pushed away the white water fox, tightened the placket and covered her neck, and protected her arms on her chest. The white water fox said angrily: "Do you dare to disobey? Lou Yuan'er hurriedly said: "No, no, the concubine doesn't dare." It's just that the concubine is old and decrepit, and she can't bear to look closely, so she is afraid of polluting the eyes of the Khan. Hearing this, the white water fox laughed and said: "Aged wine is mellow enough, and mature women have flavor." In Bai's opinion, you are the most charming woman in the world. ”
The white water fox stared at Lou Yuan'er with hooked eyes: "You serve me well, I won't treat your son badly." ”
Lou Yuan'er immediately squeezed out a smile on her face, and threw herself into the arms of the white water fox with her arms outstretched.
That night, Wang Feng was appointed as the "Blood Bone Duo" (the guard of the guard's tent), and stood outside the white water fox's tent in armor and a sword.
