Section 328 Ups and downs of people's hearts
After the Tubo people discussed for a while, one of them stepped forward, walked within fifty steps of Liu Yu and the soldiers, and shouted loudly in Khitan with a Tibetan accent: "Where did you come from the Khitans, and you actually broke into here? Our general has a life, if you are willing to dismount and surrender, it will not only spare your lives, but will also be reused one by one in the future, there are all kinds of beautiful women and treasures, and you will not be able to drink all the fine wine given to you for three days and three nights!"
The soldiers rode behind Liu Yu, and their eyes lit up when they heard it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThese people came from some small tribes, and did not belong to any of the eight major tribes of the Yelu clan, so after taking refuge in the Yelu clan, they fell into the right army, which was least valued by the khan. The surrender of the Tubo people is a great temptation for them, after all, this is a good opportunity to turn over.
The more than 100 Central Plains martial arts people originally followed the back of the team. After Liu Yu ordered his army to stop, they noticed something strange and rushed forward one after another, just in time to hear the persuasion of the Tibetan envoy to surrender.
Many of them are overjoyed, they have the Tubo people as their support, where will they put Liu Yu in their eyes.
"General Liu, I think let's surrender, so that everyone's life will be better!"
"That is, you are from the Central Plains like us, why do you want to work for the Khitans. ”
"The Khitans are no longer good, Yelu Shilu is just dying alone, and he will be defeated sooner or later. We might as well follow the Tibetan people, maybe we can make some great achievements!"
Liu Yu felt sad for these spineless compatriots, but after thinking about it, if these people really had some ability and could mix the scenery in the Central Plains, how could they come to the grassland to ask for a way out.
He forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, his eyes swept between these Central Plains martial artists, and he glanced at Hu San of Tianshamen, "Mr. Hu, can you come over for a while, I have something I want to ask you for advice?"
Hu San was a little flattered, and hurriedly patted his horse and came to Liu Yu, "I don't know what Liu Shaoxia commands!"
Although he is now under the command of the Right Army, he is still accustomed to calling Liu Yu by his name on the rivers and lakes.
Liu Yu beckoned to him, "Trouble Mr. Hu to come closer." ”
After hearing this, Hu San hurriedly rode his horse a few steps closer, "Liu Shaoxia has something to do, but it's okay?"
Liu Yu leaned into his ear and asked, "Do you all want to surrender?"
Hu Sanyi frowned when he heard this, "If you want to say that you want to go home, it's true." As for the Tubo people, it is not necessarily, only those guys screamed the loudest. After all, no one knows what the habits of the Tubo people are, in case they treat us as well as the Khitans. ”
He remembered Liu Yu's life-saving grace that day, and quietly confessed the names of the most violent people.
After Liu Yu heard his words, his heart was slightly relieved. Sure enough, as Xiao Heda said, people's hearts are not monolithic.
It's just that some people like to shout, but some people like to stay in a quiet place and not speak. The voices of those who love to shout are the most easily heard, and they are often misunderstood as public opinion. And he almost made that mistake.
He groaned a little in his heart, and said to these Central Plains warriors and soldiers: "Since everyone has their own ambitions, then I will no longer force them." If any of you wants to surrender to Tibet, let me ride away now. From now on, we are no longer brothers, and we no longer have to show mercy on the battlefield. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar in the army, but no one was willing to stand up. After all, no one can be sure whether this is a trap set by General Right. Maybe as soon as the front foot expressed his intention to surrender to the Tibetans, the back foot was chopped off by the right general.
Seeing this, Liu Yu had a better idea in his heart, as Xiao Heda expected, the person who usually dares to speak up may not be the person who dares to come forward.
Right now, he's just one last move.
He pretended to cough a few times, "Since you all have undecided minds, then I'll take the decision for you." ”
Those who were loose-minded burst into joy when they heard this, and they thought to themselves that if the right general was willing to take the lead in surrendering, it would be better, and they would not have to bear any more responsibility.
When they saw that General Right twisted his thick eyebrows, as if he was thinking carefully, they said in a loud voice: "General, as long as you give an order, all of us will follow you, and we will never regret it!"
Liu Yu circled the horsewhip in his hand and held it in his palm, and then released it again, and so on several times, the idea in his heart was decided.
He named ten people, seven of whom were Khitans and two were from the Central Plains. These ten people are all the loudest people in the army just now, and their hearts are undoubtedly the most oriented towards the Tubo people.
"A few of you go forward and negotiate terms with those Tubo people on my behalf!"
When these ten men heard this, they were very happy, and generally speaking, there was a world of difference between the treatment of surrendering first and surrendering later. This time, they took the lead in negotiating with the Tibetan people, and the credit in the future will inevitably be the first.
Liu Yu waved his horsewhip, "Go ahead!"
As soon as the horses approached, the ten men all rolled over and dismounted and fell to the ground.
Liu Yu watched them grovel in front of the Tubo people from afar, anger grew in his heart, but his face had to remain calm, "It's really a boneless king and eight calves, they don't deserve to live." ”
The leader of the Tibetans did not know what to say, and the ten people were like ghosts lost their minds, and they all mounted their horses and returned to the base of the Tibetans with him.
At this time, Liu Yu felt that the crowd behind him began to stir again, and someone whispered: "Look, they are going to eat and drink spicy food." There was envy in the words.
In the months since the war with the Tibetans, the life of the Khitans under the command of Yelu Shilu has become more and more difficult, and the cattle and sheep in the army have gradually decreased, so they have to kill horses and eat meat. It's just that the horse meat is rough, where can it compare to the fat of beef and mutton. The officers and men in the army complained because of this, and there were even rumors that the khan himself had fine clothes and food every day, but it was the soldiers below who suffered.
Just when all the soldiers were envious, those Tubo people suddenly showed their knives and put them on the necks of the ten people. The leader of them shouted: "Spread out, all of you, and do not act rashly, or we will cut off their heads." ”
The soldiers were dumbfounded when they saw it, and some of them were more lively, and they immediately passed their senses and shouted: "It turns out that those Tubo people are lying to us, they are alone, and they are afraid that we will come forward to attack, so they want to capture the hostages and escape, and there is no army behind them at all!"
Someone was frightened into a cold sweat after hearing this, patted his knees and felt happy, "Fortunately, these Tubo people were exposed early, otherwise many of us would have been coerced by them, and I don't know what kind of fate we would have ended!"
In just a moment, the army's heart made another big turn. Some are lost, some are angry. Sadly, the Tibetans turned out to be unreliable. Angry, the Tibetans deceived them. (To be continued.) )
