The Hami cavalry, which had been busy all night, with the coordination of the foot soldiers, continuously sent the captives, baggage, war horses, cattle and sheep of the Huanxi Sect into the city, and everyone's faces were full of joy. Huanxizong had 20,000 iron horsemen, and the remaining more than 10,000 prisoners and 50,000 horses, including 15,000 high-grade war horses, and countless cattle and sheep.

Huanxi Sect is completely planted in Hami, but Xu Tianran's mood is not happy, he knows that now the Central Plains is in chaos, the Western Regions that were once the territory of the Tang Dynasty no longer belong to the Tang Dynasty, since the Northern Mastiff people have coveted the Western Regions, I am afraid that this will never be the last invasion of the Western Regions, what will be the fate of the Western Regions in the near future?

Thinking about it, it's nothing more than who to rely on, the 36 countries of the Western Regions are only hundreds of thousands of people, and the small ones are even only a few hundred people, how to resist the invasion of the Northern Mastiff Iron Horse. The Western Regions has been a wall grass since ancient times, who is strong will depend on whom, if one day the Central Plains Iron Cavalry re-enters the Western Regions, can it reproduce the prosperous Silk Road?

The 10,000 captives of the Huanxi Sect looked depressed, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and they did not know their future fate, whether they were alive or dead, slaves and servants, and could only silently pray to the Immortal Heaven in their hearts.

The warriors who dismounted, unloaded their armor, and abandoned their swords no longer had dignity, and a young military commander Duguxin walked among the dense captives with his head down, he was unwilling in his heart, obviously Huanxizong's combat strength was far superior to that of the Hami people, why did he fail?

Dugu Xin silently reviewed the battle situation in his heart, and he suddenly found that the plan of the commander on the opposite side was extremely far-reaching, and he was sure that the Northern Mastiff Cavalry would attack the city with all his strength from the beginning of the strong wall Qingye, because even the houses were burned down, and it was difficult to get enough wood to build siege equipment, and the overnight sneak attack made the Northern Mastiff soldiers have no rest, and it was a hard siege, and then a night attack. On the surface, it seems that the Northern Mastiff was defeated by Hami's cavalry, but he knew that the Northern Mastiff was defeated in his own hands. If the frontal cavalry corps is in formation, the Hami people are by no means the opponents of the Northern Mastiff, once the city is lost to the cavalry containment, it is just a dead city, thinking of this, Dugu Xin couldn't help but stomp his feet suddenly, and for a while, the Hami cavalry saber who was holding prisoners of war rested on Dugu Xin's head, and said arrogantly: "Northern Mastiff barbarian, what do you want to do?"

Dugu Xin held his head high and praised: "I have figured out the key to this battle, if I am allowed to lead the army, the Northern Mastiff will win." ”

The cavalry sneered: "It's just a defeated general, how dare An dare to talk about it?"

A whip was about to hit Dugu Xin, and suddenly, a green shirt rode a tall and skinny war horse, held the whip in one hand, and said with a warm smile: "Eh, boy, what if you lead the troops?"

Dugu Xin is only seventeen or eighteen years old, with his bravery and wisdom, he has become a military commander at a young age, although he does not read much, but his mind is lively, if it is not for the Huanxi Sect's defeat in Hami this time, he will inevitably stand out in the war of Huanxi Sect in the Western Regions and become a young captain.

Dugu Xin is not a person who does not know life and death, he naturally knows how to see the wind and rudder, this young man in green shirt must have an extraordinary status in Hami City, otherwise the soldiers are extremely respectful to his eyes, which is awe from the heart, Dugu Xin thought about it, and then said with a smile: "If what I expected is good, in fact, Hami is more unbearable than Huanxi Sect, Huanxi Sect is just a long supply line, it is a big deal to be patient with cattle and sheep, grain, The siege equipment is slowly transported, and Hami City is a lonely city, if it is besieged for a long time, there is not enough food and grass, and the city will be in chaos. ”

When Xu Tianran heard this, he was shocked, this is also what he is most worried about, fortunately it did not happen, if Gao Yongchang is not stubborn and self-serving, if Gao Yongchang has a strategist under his account to come up with this strategy, Hami City is in danger.

Xu Tianran shook off the leather whip and asked with a chuckle, "What's your name?"

"Dugu Xin, the youngest Wu Chang of the Huanxi Sect. Dugu Xin said proudly.

Xu Tianran smiled meaningfully and was about to leave.

Dugu Xin looked at the back of the departing green shirt, and asked aggressively: "Dare to ask the general how to deal with more than 10,000 prisoners, the Hami soldiers are less than 10,000, if we are absorbed, I am afraid that we will not be able to control the 10,000 Northern Mastiff elite soldiers, if we are let go, I am afraid that this battle will be in vain, and when we return to Huanxi Sect, there are 10,000 elite cavalry, I am afraid that our people will not live for a few days." ”

As soon as these words came out, the captives of the Northern Mastiff were in an uproar, and there were many discussions, with confusion, hesitation, fear and anger in their eyes.

Xu Tianran gently pulled the reins, Ah Huang stopped, turned the horse's head, sank into the dantian, and said in a deep voice: "I, Xu, guarantee your life with my personality." ”

A simple sentence echoed in the ears of the Northern Mastiff captive, and after speaking, Xu Tianran rode away.

Dugu Xin looked at the back of the departing green shirt and asked the Hami horseman, "Who is that person?"

The cavalry said proudly: "He is the general Xu of our cavalry camp, the great hero who defeated the Northern Mastiff." ”

Dugu Xin's eyes flashed with a light, it was General Xu, who commanded the Hami cavalry camp in the mouth of the commander, and he was so young that he couldn't look better. How old is he himself, can what he said count? The fate of the more than 10,000 captives of the Northern Mastiff seems to be pinned on the young general in green shirts.

Victory is a momentary joy, and the problems faced after that are not easier than fighting on the battlefield, Hami, Hu Xueyan and Zhang Changlin are temporary allies who combine interests, and once the spoils are unevenly distributed, I am afraid that they will immediately tear their faces and turn against each other, which is just one of the worries. The second is how to deal with the more than 10,000 northern mastiff captives, Xu Tianran was a little at a loss, did he really want to repeat the mistakes of Lao Bai back then, and had to surrender as a last resort. What is more worrying is the situation that the Western Regions will face in the future, how Hami will survive in the chaotic situation, the northern mastiff may have more than one pair of eyes staring at Hami's fat meat, and the mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and it is unknown who the yellow finch is?

Today, Hami is full of carnivals.

The Hami Palace held a banquet to entertain the generals and the merchants of the welcome building.

Xu Tianran was about to dismount and enter the palace in front of the palace, when suddenly, Di Lidar, dressed in silver and white military uniform, looked at him with a smile, and read out the oracle of King Hami with a smile: Xu Tianran is allowed to ride a horse in the palace and go to the palace with a sword.

This is a great honor, and the horse leader is Her Royal Highness Princess Dilidar. Xu Tianran was a little cramped, he wanted to refuse, but Di Lidar didn't give him a chance to refuse. Lu Xiaobu, Xiao Murong, Qianxun, Soul Eater, Soul Snatcher and Little Earthworm had already attended the palace banquet at the invitation of King Hami.

Originally, it was not a long road, but Xu Tianran only felt that he was like a man's back, and he was unspeakably uncomfortable. Dilidar has a beautiful smile on her face, she wants everyone to see who the hero of Hami City is, and who is the man she loves in her heart?

Di Lidal held the reins, looked ahead, and said with a smile: "Young Master Xu, do you know what Di Lidar means?"

Xu Tianran must not know, so he could only shake his head.

"Beauty. ”

Xu Tianran sighed.

"Do you think I'm beautiful?"

Xu Tianran swallowed a mouthful of saliva, this is a proposition, from afar you can see a little boy in white looking at this side with a wicked smile, with his ear power, he is afraid that he can hear his heartbeat clearly, and when he meets Zhu Ziqi in the future, he opens his mouth and says, "Mother, my father is praising other women for being beautiful outside." ”

Thinking of this, Xu Tianran couldn't help but tighten his chrysanthemum and was silent.

Di Lida's eyes were lowered, and he looked sad, "Xu Gongzi's sweetheart must be beautiful, right?"

"The most beautiful. ”

Di Lidal pursed his lips and squeezed out a smile, "I'm really happy to be able to lead the horse for you with my own hands, thank you for saving Qingxiamen, saving Hami Kingdom, and saving me." ”

Under the main hall, Xu Tianran turned over and dismounted, and the officials of Hami, Hu Xueyan, Zhang Changlin and Hami Kingdom personally greeted each other outside the palace, which was unprecedented in this kind of glory Hami Kingdom.

Xu Tianran smiled slightly at Di Lidar, turned around and saluted King Hami's chest, and greeted Hu Xueyan and Zhang Changlin one by one.

In the main hall, the glow-in-the-dark glass of grape wine, the Western Regions are rich in grapes, and the wine produced is as bright as blood, with the special glass cup of the Western Regions, the glass is graceful and luxurious, and the friendship between life and death is staggered.

The lively banquet is actually a mystery, Xu Tianran knows that behind the smile is a small abacus, the cake is so big, everyone wants to cut a little more, and in the end it is not someone else, it is himself. Because there was a sleeping half-immortal Lu Xiaobu standing behind him, and he couldn't see the bottom of Jin Dan Xiao Murong, King Hami, Hu Xueyan and Zhang Changlin couldn't help but feel palpitations in their hearts when they looked at Gao Yongchang, who had been robbed of his soul and made a puppet, and he really couldn't figure out the origin of the boy in the green shirt and cloth, what kind of big sect can match such a luxurious face for a son who walks the rivers and lakes.

At the end of the banquet, Xu Tianran had long been accustomed to the praise that came from all over his face, and King Hami finally got to the point, "In this war, Xu Shaoxia should be the first merit, and I thank Xu Shaoxia again for the hundreds of thousands of people in Hami Kingdom." ”

King Hami bowed deeply, and Xu Tianran hurriedly got up to salute back.

King Hami said with a solemn face: "What should I do with the more than 10,000 northern mastiff captives?"

Several Hami generals shouted: "Kill them all, avenge the dead soldiers." ”

Since ancient times, killing and surrendering have been regarded as ominous, Xu Tianran was silent at first, and Di Lidar said with a serious face: "Be slaves, let them atone for the crimes they have committed." ”

King Hami said worriedly: "Hami has a population of only 100,000 people, and there are less than 10,000 elite soldiers. ”

Di Lidar's face was pale, could it be that his father meant to kill all the captives of the Northern Mastiff?

The eyes of the audience fell on Xu Tianran, as if Hami Kingdom was now in the final hand when it came to making up his mind.

Xu Tianran got up slowly, bowed his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I thought that the captives of the Northern Mastiff should not be killed. ”

King Hami was puzzled: "Is it possible that you still have to let it go?"

Everyone listened attentively, Xu Tianran shook his head, and continued: "After this battle, the villages and towns outside Hami City were burned, and the losses were huge, and the Northern Mastiff soldiers were in Hami, Hami should make plans as soon as possible, the scattered villages outside the city are not suitable for long-term residence, and the Hami Kingdom should make preparations as soon as possible. The new city is adjacent to the old city, one is used to resettle the displaced people, and the other is used to consolidate the defense of Hami City, so the labor required to build the city is naturally the captives of the Northern Mastiff. ”

King Hami suddenly became enlightened, Xu Tianran explained the loss of Hami City in a word, and naturally favored Hami Country in his heart, and the biggest cake belonged to Hami Kingdom, but King Hami had doubts in his heart: "After the city is built, what should the Northern Mastiff prisoners do?"

Xu Tianran smiled slightly: "After hard work, King Hami can issue a proclamation among the captives of the Northern Mastiff, if there are people who are willing to join the army, give them marriages and houses, and let them die to become Hami people, so that they can really fight for Hami, recruit in batches, such as five hundred people at a time, and gradually get a good soldier." ”

King Hami stroked his palms and praised again and again: "Xu Shaoxia is really a great benefactor of Hami. ”

Hu Xueyan and Zhang Changlin's faces were always unshocked, but both of them were businessmen who had become elites, and they had long seen through Xu Tianran's thoughts.

Hu Xueyan's face was calm, and his tone was calm: "The losses of my Hu clan's cavalry are not small, and there are even five hundred dead soldiers who have entered the camp tent of the Northern Mastiff, and there are very few people alive, so the credit is not small." ”

Zhang Changlin played with a string of pear prayer beads, and said in a steady tone: "My Zhang's cavalry has also suffered a lot of losses, and I have followed General Xu to charge back and forth, and I have gained a lot, and I have also made a few meager contributions." ”

Inside the main hall, the air seemed to be stagnant, and they all looked at Xu Tianran.
