Chapter 40 Chapter 3 of the Covenant
Do you still have this trick? When King Qiao saw Ao Lie use the same move as the previous one, he couldn't help but feel a burst of anger in his heart. This is obviously looking down on yourself.
So, King Qiao was angry, forgot his identity as a prisoner, and used all the power that could be used in his body, and in his anger, he couldn't avoid Ao Lie's vital point, and raised his big knife to slash at the top of Ao Lie's head.
Swords and spears collided with each other again, and the bells ———— more piercing sounds of gold and iron rang out than before. The big knife in the hand of the king of the cliff was hit into the air without any suspense, and Ao Lie's spear was not exhausted, and stabbed straight into the throat of the king of the cliff. The Cliff King sighed secretly, closed his eyes weakly, and waited for Ao Lie's spear to pierce his throat.
However, Ao Lie naturally would not kill the Cliff King at this time, skillfully controlled the spear, lightly touched the Cliff King's shoulders, and then galloped his horse wildly.
After waiting for a while with his eyes closed, the unexpected sharp pain came, and the King of Cliffs opened his eyes, only to find that Ao Lie had staggered past and ran behind him.
After running for more than a dozen steps, Ao Lie shouted: "Don't move! In the high-speed running, the snow dragon horse suddenly retracted its body, a pair of hind hooves firmly inserted into the ground, a pair of front hooves rose into the air, and the upper half of the horse stood upright, stagnating in the air.
Ao Lie, who was sitting on horseback, actually stood up on horseback, and formed two parallel lines with the upper body of the Shine Night Snow Dragon Horse. After that, Ao Lie shouted angrily: "Open! The spear in his hand slashed into the air with unparalleled might. Where the spear passed, there was a gust of wind. The tip of the spear is pointing in the direction where the Cliff King's big knife fell!
The sound of the bell ———— the symphony of gold and iron sounded again. The big knife that fell from mid-air with its own huge inertia was actually cut into two pieces by Ao Lie with one shot! The broadsword, which was broken in two, and the front hooves of the Shining Night Snow Dragon Pony fell to the ground at the same time.
The audience was silent!
I was shocked by Ao Lie's thunderous blow!
If the Cliff King's sword had not had the inertia of falling from the sky, the crowd would not have been so surprised; If Ao Lie was holding a divine weapon in his hand, everyone would not be so surprised; If Ao Lie was down-to-earth, everyone would still not be so surprised. However, there is no if, the facts are the facts, and it was in such a situation that Ao Lie showed his might and cut off the big sword with one blow!
Ao Lie turned the horse's head, pointed the spear in his hand at the king of the cliff, and said in a cold voice: "You, do you accept it or not?" ”
The King of Cliffs glanced down at his right arm, which had been shattered by Ao Lie, and he didn't know that his current condition was so similar to the situation of Timanda's right arm that had been shattered by Ao Lie before he died! But he knew that he had been defeated, and the defeat was so miserable, not only was the big knife in his hand knocked away, but even his right arm was broken by Ao Lie with a secret method, and at this time it was already swollen, almost as thick as his thigh.
A low voice came from the mouth of King Qiao: "The skills are not as good as people, and I am convinced." ”
Ao Lie raised his eyebrows, and said casually and seemingly casually: "If Ben Hou remembers correctly, you Wuhuan people have a rule, the defeated are the prisoners of the victors, and the captives can be ransomed with gold and silver treasures or cattle and sheep, right?" ”
King Qiao was stunned when he heard this, and said slowly: "What do you mean? ”
Ao Lie's eyes rolled, and he said lightly: "It's not interesting, it's just that I don't want to kill you all of a sudden, as long as you agree to Ben Hou's three conditions, Ben Hou will let you go back to the grassland." ”
King Qiao said in a hurried tone: "Is this true? ”
Ao Lie shook the spear in his hand and said proudly: "Your life is in the hands of Ben Hou at this moment, is it necessary for Ben Hou to make fun of you?" ”
Thinking about it, Ao Lie, who took the initiative, really didn't need to make fun of himself, so King Qiao asked slowly: "Please tell me your conditions, this king will not allow it." ”
Ao Lie nodded, and said loudly: "First, from now on, as long as my father, Mu Liu Gong of Youzhou, is on any day, the Wuhuan people will not invade my Han border again. ”
Without hesitation, the King nodded in agreement.
"Second, Ben Hou wants you to select seven thousand Wuhuan elites and send them to the city together with their families, from now on, these elites have nothing to do with Wuhuan at all, and their future status is no different from that of the Han people. Of course, the five thousand captives who have already been captured by Benhou are not counted, they are already Benhou's trophies. They were also to be sent along with the families of the captives. ”
King Crag couldn't help but hesitate. Seven thousand elites, for Wuhuan is quite a large combat force, Wuhuan population is already small, this time he led the 100,000 army, many of them are civilians, forced by themselves to pick up knives and guns to go to the battlefield, Wuhuan is a nomadic people, although many civilians take up arms, stepping on a war horse is a qualified soldier, but between qualified and elite, the gap is still very large. The elite of the Wuhuan people who have been systematically trained, the total number is not more than 30,000, and 7,000 are taken out at once, and the king is very reluctant, not to mention that with the families of these people, how can there be 30,000 or 40,000 people, it is undoubtedly a serious blow to the Wuhuan who has a small population base, and it will seriously affect the fertility plan and combat effectiveness of the Wuhuan people.
Liu Yu and others in the hall heard Ao Lie's condition, and they couldn't help but secretly shoot the case, this is simply a salary from the bottom of the kettle, with a Wuhuan Cliff King, in exchange for the Han Seven Thousand Elite plus thirty or forty thousand people, and also forced the Cliff King and these people to break off their righteousness, waiting for people to arrive in the territory of the Han people, and then break them up and distribute them to live in the counties of Youzhou, in a few years, these Wuhuan people will be sinicized and become a member of the Han people. Thinking about it from a distance, the descendants of them and the Han people will have at least half of the Han blood on their bodies, and they will be considered real Han people by then. And under this dissipation, Wu Huan's strength is bound to be greatly damaged, even if the king of the cliff has a grudge, it is impossible to launch a large-scale invasion again in a short time.
Looking at Ao Lie's resolute face, King Qiao sighed secretly, with Ao Lie's presence, he couldn't defeat Youzhou at all. For now, it's better to save your life, knock out your teeth and swallow blood. So, King Qiao gritted his teeth and agreed to Ao Lie's request.
Seeing that King Qiao agreed, Ao Lie said the third condition: "Within ten days, 20,000 war horses will be sent, and Benhou wants war horses, not herding horses, don't think about fooling Benhou with shoddy." ”
When the king heard this condition, he immediately roared angrily: "Impossible! This condition will never be agreed to by the king! "Wuhuan is a nomadic people, and his daily life is inseparable from horses at all, let alone war horses? You must know that the price of a good horse is enough for a good house in the Han Dynasty.
Ao Lie chuckled and said, "What, the dignified Wuhuan Cliff King, isn't it worth 20,000 war horses?" ”
King Crag bared his teeth and shouted: "It's not a question of whether it's worth it or not, we lived on horseback in the Wuhuan era, and we can't do anything without horses, this condition is absolutely impossible!" ”
Ao Lie stretched out a finger, shook it gently, and said indifferently: "Don't forget, now that you are my captive, I can let you go to hell to see Timanda at any time!" Anyway, Ben Hou took a step back, 15,000 war horses, not even one less! ”
King Ao Lie's face was red, but he was afraid of Ao Lie's tiger might, and he didn't dare to go too far, and he stretched out a finger after the most reluctance, gritted his teeth and said: "Ten thousand horses, one more horse, this king would rather die under your hands, anyway, he won't have the face to go back to the grassland." ”
Ao Lie looked at the look of the Cliff King, and felt that this was indeed the bottom line of the Cliff King, so he said: "Okay, 10,000 horses are 10,000 horses, but if Ben Hou finds that there is an inferior horse, then, use your head to make up the number!" ”
Liu Yu and the others in the hall watched Ao Lie and King Qiao reach a consensus, and they were all impressed by Ao Lie's methods. Liu Yu waved his hand and called a sergeant over and said, "Prepare pen and ink, let Zhongxing write two agreements according to the conditions reached by General Huwei and King Qiao, and then ask King Qiao to make a handprint." ”
Yan Rou wrote two agreements according to Liu Yu's instructions, and then handed them to Ao Lie and King Qiao respectively, and the two of them left their respective handprints on the agreement, and then exchanged the agreements with each other and left their handprints again.
Three days later, Zhuojun Taishou Cui Yan and Liaoxi Taishou Gongsun Zhan, respectively, led 3,000 soldiers to join the division, Liu Yu annihilated Ao Lie completely annihilated the 20,000 cavalry in front of Wuhuan, and designed to lure the Wuhuan Cliff King to come to the right Beiping City, the Cliff King captured, and then told the Cliff King about the three chapters of the covenant again. After Cui Yan and Gongsun Chan listened, they couldn't help but praise again and again, and Gongsun Chan admired Ao Lie even more, pulled Ao Lie, and asked Ao Lie to tell the whole process of the war in detail. Ao Lie was forced to be helpless, as long as he roughly explained the story of the matter, after Gongsun Chan listened to it, he admired Ao Lie even more.
Ten days later, according to Ao Lie's request, the Wuhuan people first sent 10,000 good horses, and after Zhang Liao led the elite of the blood killing battalion to inspect, it was confirmed that these 10,000 horses were all good war horses, and not a single bad horse was mixed with them.
Twenty days later, the Wuhuan people sent another 7,000 elites, along with the families of these 7,000 elites, as well as the families of the 5,000 captives captured by Ao Lie.
After that, Cui Yan and Gongsun Zhan led their troops back to their respective jurisdictions. After Liu Yu was rectified, he also led the army back to Jixian County, and also took away the families of 12,000 Wuhuan warriors, after counting, these families totaled 53,230 people, and after returning to Jixian County, Liu Yu would scatter the families of these Wuhuan warriors and distribute them to the counties. As for the 12,000 Wuhuan warriors, Liu Yu also took half of them, and the remaining half was temporarily handed over to Ao Lie, and let Ao Lie temporarily guard Youbeiping until the imperial court appointed a new Youbeiping Taishou. Liu Yu is not worried that the remaining 6,000 Wuhuan elites will rebel, after all, people's hearts are flesh and blood, and their families have all been moved to the mainland, for the sake of their families, they will not rebel. What's more, they were swept out of the house by the King of Cliffs and handed over to Ao Lie, even if they didn't say anything, they probably accumulated some resentment in their hearts.
After several military horses withdrew from Youbeiping, Ao Lie finally relaxed, but soon he found that he was wrong, because he still had to solve all kinds of trivial matters.
Six thousand Wuhuan elites were reorganized into a cavalry by Ao Lie, handed over to Zhang Xiu for training, and in accordance with the standard equipment standards of the Youzhou Army, they were uniformly issued with armor weapons, for the six thousand Wuhuan elites who had never worn armor, Ao Lie's move won a cheer, so that these elites completely returned to Ao Lie.
Next, there is the problem of the Eight Hundred Tiger Ben Battalion, these elites who have experienced the Great War and have seen fire and blood, after Zhang Liao's strict training during this time, the overall strength has made some progress, and Ao Lie's treatment of the Eight Hundred Tiger Ben means that the army that can be named by Ao Lie himself means that it is Ao Lie's elite troops. For his elite henchmen, Ao Lie has always been very generous, so he once again spent a huge amount of money to create steel knives, crossbows and willow leaf heavy armor for this elite, Ao Lie's definition of eight hundred tiger ben is hoplite. The willow leaf heavy armor equipped with them is almost the same as that equipped by the blood killing camp, and the reason why it is called heavy armor is because the armor equipped by the tiger camp is two layers of armor superimposed on top of each other, and the tiger elite equipped with willow leaf heavy armor is like a moving human-shaped castle, shrinking the whole body in a metal box, which can be said to be defensive to the teeth. Fortunately, the Wantong Chamber of Commerce has been operating very well over the years, ensuring that Ao Lie has enough financial resources to arm this elite.
Next, there are 4,000 county soldiers from the original right Beiping, these people were reorganized into a foot army by Ao Lie, temporarily trained by Zhao Yun, who is also the commander of the bloody killing battalion. Clothing, weapons, and salaries were also equipped and distributed in accordance with the standards, without the slightest deduction. Ao Lie's attitude towards these county soldiers was not to treat them as rebels at all. It also makes these people grateful, and they work harder when training.
After all the things were resolved, another ten days had passed, Ao Lie rubbed his head with a faint pain, and then realized that although his subordinates are now strong and strong, they are extremely lacking in talents to govern the army and manage political affairs, and now there are only Xun Yu and Tian Chou under his command, and the generals are only Zhang Liao, Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun.
Suddenly, Ao Lie remembered a person, according to historical records, this person was originally from Donglai, Qingzhou, but in order to avoid the enemy, he took a boat to Youzhou for refuge, and now he should live in Liaodong and Liaoxi.
Thinking of this, Ao Lie hurriedly returned to the room, wrote a letter himself, and then ordered someone to send it to Gongsun Zhan, the Taishou of Liaoxi, and asked Gongsun Zhan to help him find this person.
