The Zhao army went all the way south, out of Yanmen, crossed Yangqu, crossed the Yellow River, and went all the way to Yecheng, the capital of Zhao State.

As for the Xianbei people, they were driven like cattle and sheep, the old and weak women and children were fine, and the young and strong men were all tied together with ropes and stood in a row and were driven.

If something doesn't go well, or if you fall and walk slowly, the Zhao pawns don't say a word, they just whip up!

Captives are the least human rights.

"Governor, these Xianbei people haven't eaten a drop of water or a grain of rice for three days in a row. Many people have starved to death, and if they continue like this, they may not be able to last for five days, and most of these Xianbei people will be starved to death! Dong Kuang drove forward and pointed to the corpse of the Xianbei man who was thrown aside.

It's also a cruel thing.

But all the Xianbei people who are so hungry that their eyes are dizzy, they can't walk, and the Xianbei people who are sick almost all have only one fate, that is, they are abandoned by Zhao Jun on the road and become a handful of loess in this land.

Population, especially men and women, is indeed an indispensable resource in troubled times.

But even Shi Hu didn't care much about these lives, let alone Shi Min?

"Second uncle, do you want to intercede for these Xianbei people?" Shi Min glanced at Dong Kuang and said.

Hearing this, Dong Kuang shook his head and said, "No, I just don't think it's good." ”

"Is that all? Second uncle, you must know that Ci is not in charge of the army, if our Zhao army is defeated, I believe that the end will be better than these Xianbei people now. ”

"Min'er, these Xianbei people are hateful, but they have now been defeated and become prisoners of war of our Zhao army. If most of these Xianbei captives die on the way, how will you explain to the king? ”

“……”

Shi Min was silent for a moment, and then said, "The king will not be harsh on me for this. ”

Seeing this, Dong Kuang sighed faintly and did not speak.

At this moment, a junior colonel flew over and crossed his hand towards Shi Min and said, "Metropolitan Governor, Dugu Jialuo wants to see you." ”

"Oh."

Finally can't take it anymore?

Shi Min waved his hand and said, "Bring her here." ”

Not long after, Dugu Jialuo was brought to Shi Min.

"Dugu Jialuo, I've seen the Grand Duke." Dugu Jialuo saluted Shi Min, which was a unique chest hug ceremony on their grassland.

"No need to be polite." Shi Min squinted his eyes and said, "Dugu Jialuo, why did you come to me?" ”

Ask while knowing the answer!

Dugu Jialuo's heart was indignant, but he didn't dare to show it, so he lowered his head and said in a gentle tone: "Dadu Dudu, the little girl is here to intercede for my tens of thousands of captured men. ”

"Heh, pleading, do you have that much face?" Shi Min sneered disdainfully and said, "Or, do you have the qualifications?" ”

Hearing this, Dugu Jialuo's lungs exploded, but this is a matter of life and death for tens of thousands of men in their Xianbei, and she can't do it willfully.

Dugu Jialuo then said patiently: "Governor, the little girl knows that it is an honor for the little girl to see you and talk to you." But the little girl has a word in her heart, she doesn't vomit or be unhappy. ”

"What does it matter to me that you are unhappy? Hold on. ”

was scolded back by Shi Min so viciously, Dugu Jialuo's face darkened, and he said, "Dadudu, can you listen to the little girl?" ”

"I can't."

“……”

Seeing that Dugu Jialuo was trembling with anger, Shi Min couldn't help frowning and said, "Dugu Jialuo, I know exactly what you mean." But I am a man of my word, and the words I say are like water spilled out, don't you know the truth that it is difficult to recover when the water is over? ”

"The Grand Duke!"

Dugu Jialuo took a deep breath, calmed down the resentment in his heart, and then said, "I know that what you said will not be easily retracted. However, this is a matter of life and death for tens of thousands of men in my Xianbei, and the little girl really can't watch and watch tens of thousands of compatriots being starved to death in front of me like this. ”

"Go back!" Shi Min waved his hand and said, "Don't say it's you, Dugu Jialuo, even if your acting king comes to plead with me, it's useless!" ”

"Governor, are you so unreasonable?"

"Hehe, my favor is for people, for jackals, tigers and leopards, do you still need to pay attention to any favors?"

"You!"

"Dugu Jialuo, before I want to kill you, I advise you to leave quickly. I believe in a truth, which is a tooth for a tooth and blood for a blood! Your hands are stained with the blood of my soldier Zhao, and it is very polite that I didn't kill you. ”

"Please."

Dugu Jialuo suddenly bit his silver teeth, knelt down directly towards Shi Min, like a helpless little lamb, bowed his head to the ground, trembling, that look pitiful.

At this time, it seems that the hard-hearted tough guy is going to be softened by her posture.

Dugu Jialuo seemed to feel very humiliated, his face was pale, his hands were clenched tightly, and his silver teeth were biting his thin lips, and he had unconsciously oozing mottled blood.

Shi Min is the most unbearable woman to cry, especially this kind of woman with a flowery appearance, with the appearance of Dugu Jialuo and the temperament exuded from her body, it is impossible to say that Shi Min is not impressed by her.

Now Dugu Jialuo is crying in front of him Shi Min, Chu Chu is pitiful, if Shi Min is not soft in his heart, it seems a little unreasonable.

Just when Shi Min was silent and was in a dilemma, Dong Kuang next to him suddenly said loudly: "Min'er, why don't you promise Dugu Jialuo and let those Xianbei people go." After three days of not eating or drinking, more than 10,000 Xianbei people have starved to death! Such a punishment is already very severe. ”

"Moreover, bringing more Xianbei people to Yecheng can also be exchanged for greater credit, isn't it?"

Shi Min glanced at Dong Kuang and did not open his mouth directly.

"Dugu Jialuo, if I let them go, will I get any benefit?"

Hearing this, Dugu Jialuo subconsciously tightened the corners of his clothes, lowered his head and said, "The little girl has now become a prisoner of the ranks, what benefits can she give you?" However, if you don't dislike it, I'll ...... I am willing to be a cow and a horse, and serve the Grand Duke. ”

"I don't need you to be a cow or a horse."

Shi Min sneered and said, "Dugu Jialuo, you are the little master of the Dugu Tribe, you should have some reputation in the Dugu Tribe, right?" ”

Dugu Jialuo didn't know what the hell Shi Min was fighting, but now, people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat, Dugu Jialuo had to bite the bullet and say: "Please make it clear to the Metropolitan Governor." ”

"You Xianbei people are all born on horseback, and you are good at riding and shooting. And riding is the shortcoming of our Central Plains people! So be it, I'll give you an afternoon, and two hours, and you'll pick out five thousand sturdy Xianbei men who are good at riding and shooting. I will use them as the Han army to form a new cavalry army. ”

"Thank you, Grand Duke!" Dugu Jialuo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When Dugu Jialuo's back left, Dong Kuang came back to his senses and said to Shi Min: "Min'er, I understand. You didn't want to exterminate these Xianbei people at all, your purpose was just to enrich the army? ”

"I don't know if it's right or wrong to do this."

When Dong Kuang heard this, he also frowned, and said, "But Min'er, are you sure to tame these Xianbei people?" You know, if you are not of my race, your heart will be different. ”

"If I'm not sure, I won't do it."

Shi Min smiled lightly, and then asked Qin Mu, who had a calm face next to him, "Qin Mu, do you know what I think in my heart?" ”

"The Grand Governor did this to reassure the Great Zhao Heavenly King, right?"

"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you."

Shi Min and Qin Mu immediately looked at each other and smiled.
