"It must satisfy the Metropolitan Governor, definitely!"

That Liu Kuzhen had already spared his life to the extreme, and when he heard Li Tai say this, he nodded again and again, and hurriedly explained his identity: "Yu Dadu, my father is Liu Tuo, the king of Zuoxian, and my clan is a descendant of Liu Yuanhai, the Han Emperor, and all the clans of Xihe must obey the orders of our department......"

When Li Tai heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed, and for a while he couldn't figure out whether this guy was begging for life or pulling hatred. What is Liu Tuo, the king of Zuoxian, he really hasn't heard of it, but Liu Yuanhai's name is not unfamiliar, opening the role of the five chaotic and even hundreds of years of division and chaos.

But the question is, is this Liu Yuan a bullshit Han Emperor? Just hearing this title, Li Tai was even stunned for a moment, and after he reacted, he raised his leg and kicked this guy to the ground.

Liu Kuzhen rolled a few times on the ground, and suddenly panicked a little unclear about the situation, just saying that this simple identity was not enough to get the other party's attention, so he hurriedly kowtowed: "The Metropolitan Governor, please stop the anger, please stop the anger......

Although I have many fathers and sons, but they only love me, and they have already decided to take me as their heir, and when they went north in the middle of the year, they led me to visit the king of the North Sea in Yunyang Valley, and invited me to marry the god Jia Tianzi Huzhong, and I can get married after returning home! ”

When Li Tai heard this, his eyes looked at this Liu Kuzhen and became a little formal, and he looked up and down carefully, but he really didn't see anything unusual, but he didn't expect that he was deeply involved with the two big forces on the other side.

The so-called Shenjia Heavenly Son is Jihu Liu Lisheng, who was killed by Gao Huan before, and Shuozhou Yunyang Valley is where his old nest is located.

Although Liu Lisheng has been exterminated by Gao Huan, his remnants still exist, and even his grandson took advantage of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to conquer the Northern Qi Dynasty and establish the country again as emperor. If this is used as the starting point of the Jihu regime, then its Guozuo will last even longer than the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Li Tai will not look down on these ridiculous forces, after all, those who can survive for a long time in the confrontation between Gao Huan and Yu Wentai must have their own unique livelihood skills.

When he heard Liu Kuzhen talk about Liu Lisheng's remnants, he was also quite curious, so he asked: "Liu Lisheng's remnants of the old department, aren't they small now?" can actually lead you to leave Shihu to ask for marriage. ”

When Liu Kuzhen heard this question, he immediately came to his senses, and hurriedly straightened his kneeling posture and said, "If you talk about the power of people and horses, it is not too majestic. In recent years, there are many tribes who have gone to take refuge because of their admiration for the prestige of the Son of Heaven of Shenjia, but the King of Beihai can not be accommodated and accepted, and now the strong men and horses of Yunyang Valley are still less than 10,000 people......

This guy has no psychological burden to explain the future father-in-law's family background clearly, Li Tai couldn't help but sigh after listening to it, even among these Jihu tribes, they also have a strong concept of family.

Although Liu Lisheng's Shenjia regime has long since fallen, it has still accumulated a strong appeal among the Xihe Zhuhu tribes, and the brand is still quite bright, which can be regarded as a relatively transcendent existence.

Although Liu Kuzhen's attitude was very sincere and he explained a lot of Xihe's nonsense, it only satisfied Li Tai's curiosity. In addition to these Lishi Hu who took the initiative to attack, the possibility of him intersecting with the other side of the Jihu forces is also very small.

"It is a great sin for you to invade my territory and do many evils. Now that you are in my hands, you are a thief of heaven's will, and it is not easy to escape under the magic sword. ”

Xihe Hu Qing is of little value to Li Tai, but this guy's attitude is commendable, he can be described as a model among captives, and his identity is indeed unusual, of course Li Tai wants to squeeze as much value as possible, so he said in a cold voice with a fierce face: "While I still have a little patience now, I don't think about how I can live and say it quickly!" ”

"This, this...... I am not a famous chief in the world, and even if the Metropolitan Governor kills me, it will only add a decapitation, and it will be difficult to increase my prestige. Most of the famous ministers of the Metropolitan Governor Dynasty look down on me, a corporal in Huzhong, but the elders of my clan cherish and value me. If you can spare my life, my relatives will surely redeem me with heavy goods! ”

Liu Ku's eyes were dripping and tumbling, and he thought for a while before he hurriedly said.

Li Tai sneered when he heard this, and even felt a little offended. It's true that they are poor in the Western Wei Dynasty, but they are not so coveted by Jihu and the two jujubes, this guy still wants to spend money to buy his life, it is really arrogant, you think you are the withered Yin Liu family!

Liu Kuzhen saw Li Tai's disapproving face, and hurriedly reached out to grab the left and right, gathered the brocades that were wrapped around him before, and said to Li Tai with a flattering smile on his face: "Such as these goods in front of you, and serve as a sample for the Grand Governor." The Metropolitan Governor is willing to spare my life, and the clansmen must be a hundred times more risky than a thousand times their wealth! ”

"Fool me into ignorance? These brocade fabrics are ingenious and outstanding, how can you have a wide range of accumulations in the thief tribe! ”

Li Tai didn't think that this mere Shihu could come up with enough money to make him tempted, he was just poor, and his eyelids were not shallow.

There are hundreds of brocade silk silks wasted in this camp alone, not to mention a hundred times a thousand times, even if you can take out dozens of times, what if Lao Tzu spares your life?

Anyway, I really want to kill you from Shihu It has to be my big brother He Liuhun, as long as I squeeze you dry, eat and wipe you clean, I don't care if you die in the end!

"There is indeed no in my tribe, but there is one in Jinyang City!"

Liu Kuzhen heard Li Tai's questioning, and hurriedly said: "Does the Metropolitan Governor know why the Eastern Thief He Liuhun is so desperate to attack our clan and must kill them all?" You must know that when our clan gathered in Xihe, this thief still didn't know where to wander, and the city of Jinyang was tall and wide, and there were strong soldiers to defend it, how could we, the humble people, be easily shaken? ”

"Speak up if you have something to say!"

Li Tai snorted coldly again, I hate this guy's selling, what other reason do you need to kill Jihu?

"Yes, yes! The high thieves were extravagant and extravagant, and did all kinds of evil, plundered many men and women, and detained them around Jinyang for their servants, and recruited a large number of Hu merchants and distant guests to collect and buy treasures for them, and the caravans from Jinyang to Monan continued to ......"

Liu Kuzhen secretly peeked at Li Tai's expression, and when he saw his eyebrows raised, he hurriedly said: "Our clan's Dingkou has also been taken away by the Jinyang thief army, but he refuses to be a thief, and occasionally escapes back to the clan, so he informs the thief of the situation. In order to take revenge for the revenge of the Ding, sometimes people will be gathered to attack the Guancang workshops around Jinyang, and they can always gain a lot. ”

When Li Tai heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, but he didn't expect that there was such an unexpected gain, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel that the wicked still have to be grinded by the wicked.

No wonder from Gao Huan to Gao Yang are riveting all the way to making jokes, there is a litter of big rats squatting at the door of this special house, and no one can stand it!

Jinyang is not only the location of the Eastern Wei Dynasty's hegemony, but also the eastern starting point of the Silk Road in the current era, from which the north to Pingcheng and then along the south line of the desert to the west can reach the Western Regions, which is the most prosperous trade route between the East and the West.

Although the Western Wei Dynasty occupied a geographical advantage, it had no choice but that the productivity could not keep up at all, so it did not pose a threat to the Eastern Wei Dynasty in this kind of international trade interaction.

This situation had to be maintained until the Gaoyang period, when the heroic Son of Heaven made a sudden attack on the surrounding Zhuhu forces, especially after fighting with the new overlord Turks in Mobei, and built the Great Wall almost to his own kang, the Silk Road trade route in Monan gradually declined, and the interaction between the Northern Zhou and the Western Regions became smooth and frequent.

Li Tai originally thought that Gao Huan's attack on Xihe Zhuhu was only based on regional security considerations, but he didn't know that there were such economic considerations inside, and he didn't expect that this seemingly inconspicuous Lishihu could actually get a piece of the Silk Road trade.

Seeing that Li Tai looked like he was listening attentively, obviously interested in this, Liu Kuzhen also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and continued with more strength: "Our clan is not only living by plundering around Jinyang, but also selling the materials harvested from the old to the outside, and also forming some friendships with the Hu merchants who came from the west. Those who were chased by the army of thieves in the east had no way to avoid danger, but it was those Hu merchants who lured them north to avoid trouble, and helped them suppress many rogue thieves who were harmed by the south of the desert......"

Li Tai felt a little speechless when he heard this, the east is strong and the west is weak, which he has long been aware of, but he didn't expect that the gap between them is simply reflected in all aspects, not to mention the gap between their respective military and political regimes, and even the fierce and untamable Jihu tribes in their respective territories, the east is much more nourishing than the west.

These Jihu tribes in the west are so poor that they are so poor that they will be difficult to produce three taels of oil if they are pressed several times. The only one who is more generous is to make some hard-earned money because of the unique skill of training withered birds.

But this Lishi Hu not only gained a lot by robbing around Jinyang, but also opened up an international trade security business. Not to mention anything else, this vision and the pattern of making a living alone make it difficult for these Jihu tribes in the west to catch up!

If what Liu Kuzhen said is true, then he really has eyes and doesn't know the real tyrant this time.

Li Tai did not shy away from admitting his mistakes, even if he changed into a slightly kind demeanor, looked at this Liu Kuzhen and said: "God has the virtue of a good life, if you can really lose your will and abandon the secret and change your past, I will not blindly torture you and take your life." Whether you live or die, after all, depends on your own sincerity. If you don't save yourself, you can't save them, you know? ”

"Understood, understood, fully understood!"

Speaking of his own life, Liu Kuzhen was shrewd and serious: "I don't dare to hide it from the Metropolitan Governor, when I migrated at the beginning of this year to avoid disaster, my father took more than half of the savings of the clan with him, although he also spent some on the way to avoid trouble, but in Mo Nan, he got a lot of rewards from those Hu merchants, all of which were guarded and escorted by my father's cronies. Even when the Symperisis rangers fought before, they did not suffer much losses due to their timely withdrawal......"

This guy still has a face, and he didn't say it too bluntly, but the meaning is already very clear, that is, he is very wealthy, and he can ask for ransom boldly with confidence.

But because this meat ticket is a bit out of the norm, it is equivalent to putting himself on the meat eucalyptus, which makes Li Tai can't help but feel a little absurd and unreal.

He was also a little afraid to believe his words at this time, but said with some uncertainty: "Tens of thousands of pieces of music have collapsed and scattered, which is already a big crime in itself, and your father is willing to waste a lot of wealth for your safety?" ”

It's one thing to be rich, but it's another thing to be reluctant to spend it, especially to spend it on such a superlative.

Anyway, if Li Tai is replaced, it will be his old son...... Phew, Li Tai only thinks that even such an analogy is a bit unlucky, but anyone who is related to such a guy is a blood mold, can it really be exchanged for money?

"Rest assured, my father's affection for me is not just because of his personal feelings. When I was born, all kinds of things happened in the clan, the old sheep regained milk, and the grave grew artemisia...... The elders of the clan and the masters of the clan all assert that I am a sign of great prosperity in the clan, and I will never let me have any mistakes, as long as it is not too demanding, he will ...... Even if it's a little excessive, don't worry! ”

Liu Kuzhen said proudly again, and solemnly introduced his identity as a lucky star koi in the tribe to Li Tai.

Li Tai didn't know how a person who was blinded by lard would believe that such a thing could be the hope of the entire tribe, but seeing this guy's sworn expression, he couldn't help but believe it a little, which shows that no matter what reaches an extreme, even if it is absurd, it will become quite infectious.

But whether this is true or not, it has little to do with Li Tai, he is not interested in making a cameo appearance as a kidnapper and lowering the price of the ransom, the wisest idea is, of course, I want them all!

I didn't know that you were from Shihu's family background, but now that I know, if you can still let you safely transport your wealth out of the country, it would really underestimate the poverty of our Western Wei officials and army!

So he put on a straight face and said to this superb guy: "Quickly explain your clan's forces in detail, especially the force around your father, if you have nothing to hide, you can be spared from death." There is no need to have the evil idea of losing money to pay for sin, how can we negotiate peace with thieves and kill my people! ”

Liu Kuzhen was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, he didn't expect to meet an upright general who was upright and not greedy for money, and sweat suddenly fell on his forehead, but he kowtowed again without turning his heels: "The metropolitan governor spares his life, the metropolitan governor spares his life!" There are still tens of thousands of elite soldiers beside my father, and it is not easy to win, not to mention that everything is resting when people die, even if they snipe and kill our clan in the realm, it is not a temporary success for the metropolitan governor, and the young hero of the metropolitan governor, why can't he be revealed?

But if I am willing to open the net and let me and my people go, I can make an oath with the governor on behalf of my tribe and make an oath to the governor for eternity, and there will be no shortage of offerings when the year comes. After many years, the gains will be far better than the momentary feats of war! ”

"You represent the clan? What qualifications do you have to represent the tribe? How can I believe you won't breach? ”

When Li Tai heard this, he sneered, mentioned Liu Kuzhen's rear collar, looked at this guy with a bow into shrimp and smiled: "But what you said is not unreasonable, killing chickens and taking eggs is indeed not a wise man's move." So you have to think about it, is there any way to make your little life stronger?

If it's just an intelligence confession, you're not the only one who can be interrogated. Think about what you can do that others can't. I see your desire to survive, so I would like to be kind to you a little bit and give you a little more patience. But if it only disappoints me in the end, what's the use of keeping you? ”

"What do you mean? I'm too stupid to hear what the Governor means......"

When Liu Kuzhen heard this, his face flashed with hope, but after a while, he kowtowed to the ground, and said with a sad face: "Although I don't understand the mind of the Grand Governor, I sincerely hope to be able to get the guidance and teachings of the Grand Governor.

It is indeed a serious crime for my tribe to rashly disturb the capital to govern the territory, but the real sin is only a few culprits, and many clans are innocent. I also hope to be able to help the Metropolitan Governor to defeat the Yuan Evil, and if I am lucky enough to be able to make meritorious contributions, I implore the Metropolitan Governor to let my innocent people live. From then on, he will always be a slave and be dispatched by the Metropolitan Governor! ”

This guy was able to give such an answer, obviously not because he didn't understand what Li Tai meant, and Li Tai was quite satisfied with this attitude, so he said: "And explain the movements of your clan in detail." ”

"Yes, although there are more than 10,000 people in the army of my father's cronies under the command of King Zuoxian, there are far fewer than 10,000 people who remain in Shuofang to defend my father. Half of them were under the command of my brother, and while the people and horses of Tongwan Town were maneuvering to protect themselves, they crossed the state border and headed west. According to Shuo Fang Hubu, who served as a guide, there are many salt goods stored in the black salt pond and other areas in the other area, but there are few guards, if you can attack successfully, transport the salt goods out of the country and then trade with the Hu merchants, you will definitely be able to make an amazing profit! ”

This guy has already decided to sell even his own son, so there is no need to continue to hide other circumstances, so he simply confessed another important piece of information.

After Li Tai heard this, he couldn't help but sigh that these thieves really dared to think and dare to do things, and they really looked down on the garrisons of northern Shaanxi.

However, it is not to blame that these thieves are rampant, it is true that the tyrant has indeed ignored the northern Shaanxi prefectures for a long time, and has sent troops to pacify the internal Ji Hu disturbance several times before, mainly because these rebellious Hu troops have threatened the security of Guanzhong, as for the stability of northern Shaanxi and the large-scale deployment of troops is almost none.

Not to mention that Gao Huan led the troops to sweep Xiazhou, when he was in the south of Rouran before, he simply only fortified in Weibei, as long as he did not enter the Guanzhong Prefectures, there would be disasters everywhere in northern Shaanxi.

Lishi Hu from afar may not be so clear about the past border defense strategy of the Western Wei Dynasty, but Shuo Fanghu, as the connector, obviously understands, so he naturally gives guidance without reservation.

These spies leading the way are even more hateful than the real enemy. Li Tai had promised Li Mu to continue to pursue the thief Hu, and after learning about this situation, he had secretly decided in his heart to completely kill these Shuo Fang Hu, and leave no chickens and dogs!

At the same time, he patted Liu Kuzhen on the shoulder to show encouragement, you two or five people are also in a life-and-death competition with each other.

If you really want to help me defeat my opponents and achieve great things, maybe I can really prosper the family, and I will give you a separate biography in the future.
