Chapter 130: The Text
At night, the horns in Huixi Village were everywhere, and after a while, 3,000 barbarian soldiers poured out from all over the tents, holding a variety of blades in their hands, and kept calling the strange cry of "Hello", and spontaneously gathered towards the candlelight in front of the mountain.
Xiang Zongyan, who was the "commander of Xizhou to fight for thieves", was frowning at this time, standing on the mountain bag with his hands in his hands, watching the soldiers of his own tribe in front of him quickly fill the empty space in front of the tent, raised his arm without hesitation, and reluctantly drew an arc in the air.
Seeing the leader give the order, Xiang Ming, who was already shirtless not far away, immediately understood, took the two mallets handed by his subordinates with his own hands, and began to beat the drum vigorously.
"Winter! Winter! Winter! Although the barbarians were a little unaware, they also knew that when the night came, there would be a war, and they all raised their swords with enthusiasm, opened their mouths and shouted, and the strange sound soon spread throughout the mountains.
The night mountain breeze in July does not have the slightest heat, it is still a scorching and slightly cold, and the red "Xiang" word banner can be seen everywhere in Huixi Village, which has already replaced the original "Tian" word blue flag, and is fluttering openly at this moment.
Xiang Zongyan's expression was calm, and after hearing the two drums, he immediately gave the order, and then several guards ran down the slope.
After receiving a reply from the Tang camp at dusk and seeing Peng Shiyu after a few days of absence, Xiang Zongyan ignored the dissuasion of several generals and immediately made a decision, and led 3,000 Xiang soldiers to surrender to the Tang army at night.
At first, the cronies and generals, including Xiang Ming, were all angry, and they almost didn't even start a move with Peng Shiyu, just because the conditions put forward by Li Yuan, the commander of the Tang army, were too harsh, in addition to sending back the Tang general Luo Erhu, not only asked the leader Xiang Zongyan to enter the camp alone as a hostage, but also directly proposed that all the Xiang soldiers in the Huixi Village must all abandon their weapons and unload their armor, and concentrate outside the gate of the cottage until the Tang army soldiers and horses came to take over.
As for what will be the fate of these barbarians after the Tang army takes over the defense, Li Yuan did not clearly inform them, but overbearingly ordered Peng Shiyu to convey that "the matter of barbarian capture will be decided after this commander."
The word "capture" is used, and it is clear at a glance that for Li Yuan, Xiang Zongyan's move is not a surrender, but a surrender.
Therefore, how could a barbarian who is full of wildness and strength in his bones accept such humiliation? Fools all understand what it means once the whole army lays down their arms, these unarmed Xiang sons and daughters will not become lambs to be slaughtered in front of the heavily armed Tang army.
Suddenly, the generals of the Xiang clan in the big tent drew their swords indignantly, if it weren't for the authority of the leader to Xiang Zongyan and try his best to suppress it, I'm afraid Peng Shiyu wouldn't even be able to get out of the gate of Huixi Village......
To say that Xiang Zongyan has put on a calm and relaxed expression at this moment, it is just to stabilize the army's heart, and seeing that major variables are about to be ushered in, how can his heart not be turbulent?
Although he had already made the decision to sacrifice his life to protect the clan, he still couldn't bear to look at the vigorous sergeants in front of him, this was the only young and strong man left in the Xiang clan! Although Peng Shiyu swore that he would "treat the Xiang clan well", who could guarantee that this young master of Xizhou, who relied on the Tang army to survive, would his "guarantee" really be effective?
The blood feud caused by the poisonous miasma has been cast, and if Li Yuan, the commander of the Tang Army, really ordered the slaughter of the Xiang clan, what could Peng Shiyu do now under the fence?
But in the end, it is useless to think too much, Xiang Zongyan knows very well that there is no choice when he comes to such a predicament at this moment, and there are only two ways in front of himself and the clan, either to become the funeral object of the Tian family, or to gamble the survival of the clan on Peng Shiyu.
Xiang Zongyan, who had read the allusion to "lying on the salary and tasting the guts", naturally chose the latter without hesitation, and bowed to Peng Shiyu again, not seeking to make a comeback, at least the tribe still has a chance of survival, and the only bargaining chip for this gambling is not because he has known Peng Shiyu for many years, but Peng Shiyu is at least surnamed Peng, not Tian.
The drumming stopped abruptly, Xiang Zongyan took a deep breath of cool air, Xun immediately widened his eyes, and shouted loudly at the top of his voice: "I'm Xiang Clan's sons! Bendu has one word, wait and listen! In the past, the Tian family, autocratic and arbitrary, and the blessing of oneself, caused the burning of my ancestral mausoleum, and the humiliation of my descendants to this day! Today, there are those who promote the right, usurp power and kill the master, hurt and abuse the people, and the water in Wuxi is cold......"
As if venting the emotions that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time, Xiang Zongyan shouted angrily, from the grievances between the Tian clan and the Xiang clan three generations ago, he said in one breath that Tian Hongyou raised troops to usurp power and framed Peng Shiyu's retrograde, and vividly portrayed the Tian clan as a human and god, heaven and earth are intolerable, and finally the Daoming Tian brothers deliberately withdrew the army to Xizhou City, leaving three thousand Xiang clan's sons in Huixi Village to wait for death.
It's a pity that the land of the barbarians is under his feet after all, but whoever catches a scholar from Jinling and hears that from the mouth of Xiang Zongyan, the leader of the barbarian tribe, can say such a brilliant "begging for Tian Zhuwen", he will definitely drop his jaw in shock.
And Xiang Zongyan seemed to be immersed in his own emotions, the leader bared his teeth and roared filial piety on the top, but the three thousand soldiers below looked at each other, you must know that most of the barbarians in Dongxi can't even understand Chinese, how can they understand such a crepe sentence?
In the army, only by being a general officer can they have the opportunity to read and write, but even if they have this opportunity, these barbarian generals who believe in force will probably only sharpen their pen as a secret weapon.
In the eyes of most barbarian soldiers, the Han language is a useless thing, the Han people in Dongxi in addition to the original ruler Peng, are the civil and military officials under their command, these "nobles" who live in the city are only responsible for the high-level of the tribes on weekdays, the soldiers are only responsible for fighting of course, and they can't get in touch with it, and speaking a few words of Chinese is not even as good as the few "hello" before the war.
Seeing that most of the soldiers were unmoved, and some even showed sleepy expressions, Xiang Ming, who was standing on the side, was anxious, and finally couldn't help it, and stepped forward shirtless angrily, leading the guards through the crowd.
A few barbarian words were concise and concise, and they were condensed into one sentence: The grandfather of the Peng family was murdered by Tian Hongyou, and now he wants to kill all of us, and the leader asks if you agree?
Now it was very clear, as soon as it was fanned, all the barbarians immediately looked nervous, and they all raised their swords and shouted, and for a while they became indignant, and the shouts one after another even seemed to tremble slightly on the grass and rocks on the side of the mountain.
Seeing Xiang Mingchao, who was sweating profusely, nodded lightly, Xiang Zongyan's heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as if the pomp was over, and then turned to barbarian language in a loud voice, which was nothing more than the real master of Chaoxi Prefecture, Uncle Peng Shiyu Guicheng.
As for Li Yuan's request, Xiang Zongyan naturally couldn't tell him directly, only said that the Tang army would come to take over the defense later, and everyone would soon be able to return to the tribe and no longer have to work for the Tian clan.
