Hearing that they were going to leak the situation of the other tribes, Huyan Naha and they immediately fell into a dilemma.

They knew what would happen to those tribes if they told them what they knew.

For a moment, the whole camp fell silent.

Cao Xing saw that no one was willing to speak.

He stood up and said, "Since you are not willing to be honest with us, it means that you do not really want to join us, and you are not our brothers." I'm sorry, but go back and be your slaves. Someone! ”

Hearing the shouts, hundreds of soldiers rushed in with knives and guns.

Hearing that Cao Xuan was going to capture himself back and continue to be a slave, this frightened Huyan Naha and them.

They've only been living a good life for a few days, and now they're going back to being slaves.

How does this work?

Anyway, these people are dealing with other tribes, and they are not related to themselves.

Besides, the tribes of the steppe, who did not fight whom?

Today it is not you who annex us, tomorrow it will be our turn to annex you.

Many tribes have blood feuds with each other.

Why should we continue to suffer, so that they can be free to gallop outside?

I'm not your father.

Just as the soldier was about to pull Huyan Naha by the arm and drag him out.

He suddenly struggled away and said loudly: "I am willing to say, I know the specific situation of a tribe, and I am willing to take you there!" ”

Seeing that one person stood up, the others also hurriedly said when they saw it.

I said. I know a lot of tribes. ”

"I'll tell you everything I know."

……

Seeing that these people finally recognized the status quo and were willing to cooperate, Cao Xing waved his hand with satisfaction and asked the soldiers to stop first.

"Tell me what you know. If you want to deceive, let you enjoy the punishment of burning. Do you know what cannon branding is? It is to burn the pillars of brass red, and bind people to them, and burn them alive. It's ...... to think about that pain."

Cao Xing himself shuddered.

Huyan Naha, too, was horrified by the kind of torture described by Cao Xing.

They almost patted their chests and promised.

"General, we Jedi don't dare to deceive. Yes, we definitely don't have anything to hide! ”

Cao Xing smiled brightly again. "That's right, as long as you're honest. We are good brothers, sharing blessings and difficulties! ”

……

Fourteen days later, a tribe was conquered.

A tent had been burned down, and thick black smoke was emitting.

There were fleeing cattle and sheep everywhere, and the already gloomy sky seemed even more gloomy at this time.

At this time, the Wind Wolf Cavalry had become a devil, and the almost fortified tribe was swept away by the swarming Wind Wolf Cavalry, and the valuable things were looted.

From time to time, there were women's terrible screams, crying and pleading, and unwilling roars. and the corresponding obscene laughter, angry scolding, and foot-kicking.

Compared with the original soldiers of its wind wolf ride, Huyan Naha and these Huns were more ferocious and savage.

Having lost their minds and turned into demons, they set fire to them everywhere.

Corpses were everywhere, and the entire tribe was soon stained with fire and blood.

The sound of beating, smashing, crying, begging for mercy, and wailing the whole tribe was like hell, and it was unbearable to see.

With the support of his own soldiers, the complacent Cao Xing entered the tribe.

"It's still a clever general, and he will control raze with raze. There is the leadership of these people, and intelligence. It's easier for us to find them, and it's easier for us to fight. ”

He still had a word left in his heart to say.

That is, the looted money is also more.

This is also what Cao Xing is most happy about.

……

At the Guantai construction site outside Chang'an City, the progress of the project has also accelerated as more and more slaves have been sent by Cao Xing.

Even the residential area and commercial area that Lu Bu planned at the beginning began to be built.

Accompanied by Jia Xu and Xun You, Lu Bu visited the latest progress of the construction site.

The foundation of the viewing platform has been built, and more than 2,000 slaves are carrying stones and stone bars to the stone wall.

Looking at those miserable slaves, Xun You's brows furrowed.

"My lord, those Confucian scholars in the city have criticized the general's use of slaves. The reputation of this lord is only afraid of ......"

Lu Bu immediately scolded: "It's all a bunch of sour Confucians, don't pay attention to it." If they complain any more. A notice was issued and the names of the complaining Confucian scholars were posted, saying that they demanded the release of slaves and the common people of Guanzhong to serve in forced labor. I'd like to see who else dares to talk more. ”

Fuck.

Standing and talking don't hurt your back!

Finally, with cheap labor, cheap cattle and sheep, and cheap war horses, I can use my limited funds for more sustainable places.

How could Lao Tzu give up such a good deal because of those sour words, because of his reputation.

Xun Yu hurriedly arched his hand and said: "General, the mouth of the people is better than the Sichuan, the river collapses, and there will be many injuries, and the people will be the same." It is the one who is the Sichuan, and the one who decides to guide; For the people, declare the words. Even if you stop the sour Confucian's mouth for a while, they will still be resentful and will write books to criticize you. In this case, it will not help. ”

Lu Bu snorted and said, "What Confucianism said about this group of people. is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but it really makes them work and farm like ordinary people, and serve forced labor, and when their interests are touched, they scold the heavens and scold the government. I, Lu Bu, have made merits and demerits in my life, and my descendants have determined it, so why do they need to be sour and sour. ”

Lu Bu thought to himself.

It's just a bunch of sour Confucians, I, Lu Bu, will be afraid of you?

Wait for me to unify China.

I called a hundred, and a thousand literati helped me write a book.

Well. It's called "Joking about Lu Bu", or "The First Emperor of the Ages"

Write some stories about me going to the south of the Yangtze River seven times, swimming dragons and phoenixes, and fighting corrupt officials.

Forcibly whitewash yourself.

When the time comes, let alone summoning slaves, even if Lao Tzu slaughters the city, not many ordinary people will remember.

Seeing that Lu Bu was determined to enslave slaves, Xun You still wanted to continue to persuade.

He really thinks about Lu Bu.

Now is the time to do big things, the reputation of the lord is not good, and if he is criticized again, it will be even more unbearable. At that point, it will be even more difficult to recruit talent.

When Jia Xu saw it, he immediately said out loud: "Gongda, don't be pedantic. It is better to take the barbarians captive and serve in labor than to make the people serve in forced labor. This will also reduce the burden on the people and allow them to cultivate their fields with peace of mind. What's more, the general did this for the sake of the future. Now the Han civil strife is not stopped, if you don't send troops to weaken the Xiongnu and Xianbei outside the Guan. When they take the opportunity to grow, he will become a danger to my Han in the future. ”

Xun You saw that even Jia Xu didn't support him, and agreed with the lord's approach.

He knew that it would be difficult to persuade the lord to do so.

He sighed. "It's me who is pedantic. It's just a general, Cao Xing's army is predatory, and if he is sent to attack other states and counties in the future, he is afraid that it will harm the people and bring bad atmosphere to our army. ”

Lu Bu said: "Don't worry about this, Cao Xing's troops will not enter the customs." I have already planned, in the next two years, while the situation is stable, I will focus on rectifying military discipline, pick out soldiers such as traitors and criminals, kill those who should be killed, and punish others that are not serious, and send them to Cao Xing's men, so that they can plague countries such as Saiwai, the Western Regions, and even further away Dashi. ”

In fact, like Wei Xu, who has followed his subordinates for many years, Lu Bu knows that they often commit acts of adultery, but they are not very responsible.

It just so happens that his subordinates need such a group of black people.

Lu Bu was ready to take advantage of the situation to form a separate army of these people and harm his enemies.

It's also about letting them play to their strengths.

No.

is their forte.

It is a love affair between the master and the servant, and it can make everyone happy, so why not.

Hearing that Lu Bu would not let Cao Xuan and the others enter the customs, although Xun You did not agree with some of Lu Bu's practices, he could accept them.

Just when Lu Bu was visiting the construction site and planning the overall plan of Guanzhong in the future.

Suddenly, a man dressed like a commoner galloped on horseback, and after more than two hundred paces, he quickly dismounted, ran quickly, and knelt down on one knee.

"General. There is an urgent secret report. ”

Cheng Lian stepped forward to take the bamboo tube and presented it to Lu Bu with both hands.

Lu Bu checked that the seal was in good condition, and then he opened the bamboo tube and spread out the letter.

Unexpectedly, it happened.

Lu handed the letter to Jia Xu and asked him and Xun You to read it.

Jia Xu opened his mouth and watched it with Xun You.

When they saw it, their faces were tangled.

Golden opportunity.

But it can also be said that it is not a good opportunity.

Jia Xu raised his head and asked, "What are the general's plans?" ”
