Chapter 381: Conquest
The sound of the dragon king's horn came from afar, and all the warriors of the Great Snow Mountain put down the affairs at hand, and no matter where they were, they all ran in the direction where the sound came.
No matter how many days they rested, no matter how much tenderness they received from the local women, at this moment, they all regained their warrior nature.
The sound of the trumpet became more and more urgent, and the dragon king clearly encountered a great enemy.
He didn't have a horn, but it was he who suggested that all the swordsmen blow their horns at the same time, echoing the dragon king.
The conquest of the Land of Incense was surprisingly smooth, at least at first.
The warriors of the Great Snow Mountain were still a long way from the altar, and the remaining nine clan leaders had already surrendered respectfully, from nobles to slaves, who were also willing to accept the rule of the dragon king, and the obedient education of several generations made it very easy for them to return to the time of kings.
The Great Snow Mountain has tens of thousands of people at once, and what to do with these people has sparked a fierce debate.
That night, Gu Shenwei sent a small force into the capital, searched everywhere, counted the population, guarded against ambushes, and selected a suitable location for the whole army to be stationed.
This was the first time that the army of the Great Snow Mountains had conquered a certain country, and although the country of Koyu was basically unarmed, its population and wealth were not small at all.
The swordsmen under the command of Tonenya were loyal to the Dragon King, but did not affect the love of money, which has always been one of their goals, so it was natural to think that all the people of the Land of Xiangji were prisoners of war and should be divided equally among each warrior, along with gold, silver and jewelry.
The swordsmen were careful not to make this request immediately, but dispersed to instill the swordsmen and savage soldiers of the Great Snow Mountain, who had not yet enlightened, with the principle of dividing up the spoils.
"It's like that for all armies, even the slightly larger gangs. ”
"It's true that we didn't charge in the country of incense, and the dragon king conquered the entire country almost alone, but we have fought a lot of battles before, many friends have died, and the living are also scarred, and we have always followed the dragon king and never wavered, shouldn't we get a little reward?"
"Jinpeng Fort is not destroyed, we have to leave this comfortable nest to fight sooner or later, and we should enjoy it, who knows how many people will die in the next battle?"
......
After many hardships in wars and expeditions, the swordsmen of the Daisetsuzan were fascinated by the beauty of the local women, so they were immediately convinced, and it was originally the custom of the Daisetsuzan to obtain everything for the victors.
Only the savage soldiers who belonged directly to the dragon king were not moved, they did not understand the concept of slaves and wealth at all, and had only one answer to all the persuaders: "Ask the dragon king." ”
As expected, the patriarchs and Tuo Nengya came to meet the dragon king and ask about the distribution of the spoils.
"In the past, we were guests and obeyed the rules of the guests, but when they besieged the Dragon King, both sides were enemies, so there was no need to be polite. Long Xiaoshi, the patriarch of Danduofeng, was the first to speak, he had exactly the same idea as the swordsmen, "If you want me to say, all the young and strong men here will be incorporated into the army and distributed to the various departments, and the old and weak will be left behind, let them fend for themselves, women, it is better to divide a few for each warrior, if you can give birth to a bunch of babies, the population of the Great Snow Mountain will be prosperous again." ”
The people in the main tent burst into laughter, although the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain were simple, they had always despised women, and in the early years, when the five peaks were fighting endlessly, the behavior of snatching and raping the other party's women often happened.
As usual, the dragon king did not express his opinion immediately, but let everyone speak their minds.
The patriarchs all had similar thoughts to Long Xiaoshi, only the young patriarch of Huagai Peak, Long Chuanyun, had a slight disagreement, "Women should stay here, we are an army, how can we fight with them?"
"Turning the clouds is afraid that his wife in his hometown will be unhappy, don't be afraid, let's keep it secret for you. Long Xiaoshi blinked his remaining eyes, and his words caused another burst of laughter.
It's been a long time since there has been such a cheerful atmosphere in the Great Snow Mountain Army.
Gu Shenwei hoped that Tuo Nengya would have different opinions, but the old swordsman was also a swordsman after all, "The country of incense is a gift from God to the Dragon King and the Great Snow Mountain, and there is no way to find a country that is so easy to conquer, if we don't take it, the news leaks out, and the Dubu King will definitely send someone." ”
Gu Shenwei had a lot to say, but he couldn't find the right words for a while, so he asked everyone to go back first and give an answer the next morning.
The few people were surprised by the dragon king's hesitation, but they still obeyed the order and went back to inform the warriors under their command to wait patiently.
Gu Shenwei has a lot of things to do, and the imminent problem is that Shangguan Ru and the lotus girl have not yet sobered up.
The five women who were almost burned to death are still in a semi-comatose state, able to eat, walk, sit and lie down, but they must be helped in all their actions, and when they are separated from the waiters, they are like walking corpses, and they do not react to people and things in the outside world.
The remaining nine clan leaders of the country of incense were left hostage in the military camp of the Great Snow Mountain, and they were also surprised by the condition of the five women, and a leader who knew the Central Plains dialect carefully said to the dragon king, "It should be fine, haven't they taken the antidote of Indra incense?"
Half of it was because of language barriers and habits, and the other half was out of fear, the nobles of the country of incense never dared to take the initiative to talk to the dragon king, and they had to ask before they dared to answer after thinking twice.
It's a lot of delays.
"Indra, the antidote, why has no one ever told me, hand it over immediately," Gu Shenwei forcibly suppressed his anger, and these people were very cooperative after surrendering, but none of them took the initiative to say anything about the antidote.
In fact, Gu Shen has to bear part of the responsibility for himself, he has never shown special attention to the five women, in the entire army, only Tuo Nengya and the Shangguan family brothers know Shangguan Ru and the lotus girl, and the others don't know that two of them are actually people that the Dragon King cares about very much, not to mention the nobles of the country of incense.
The words of the dragon king were translated into the local language, and the nine leaders look at me and I look at you, and finally it was the leader who could speak the Central Plains dialect who spoke in fear and said, "Antidote...... Out of our hands, the Indra incense has always been kept by the Sri family. ”
The master of the Sri family was Sri Mora, who was killed by the dragon king at the altar.
In addition to the nine leaders in the military camp, there were many nobles from the country of incense, but there was not a single one from the Sri family.
Once questioned, the nobles were very willing to confess, and Gu Shenwei soon learned that the people of the Sri family had fled, and when Sri Mora was killed, they fled, and there were tens of thousands of people at the scene, and only a few people noticed.
Gu Shenwei sent the Huagai Peak Patriarch Long Chuanyun to lead a small team of men and horses into the city to arrest the members of the Sri family and retrieve the antidote.
It was only then that many people vaguely guessed the importance of the five female sacrifices.
Shangguan Fei had just learned that his sister had almost been burned to death on the altar, and he rarely showed a little brother-sister affection, "These bastards, they should all be killed." ”
Then even if his obligations are fulfilled, "The Dragon King must have a way, so I don't have to worry about it, hehe." ”
The dragon brought back bad news, and the sons of Sri Mora fled from the capital together, their whereabouts unknown, and the only people left in the house were frightened women and helpless slaves, and there was no antidote.
Gu Shenwei summoned all the noble hostages again, pulled out the Wufeng sword, crossed it on his lap, and dozens of savage soldiers stood on the left and right, and then ordered the hostages to tell all the information about Indra Xiang.
Dozens of people scrambled to confess, and the two tribal leaders acted as interpreters, translating sentence by sentence into the Central Plains without stopping.
The nobles of the country of incense are divided into ten tribes, each tribe not only has a fixed land and slaves, but also has a flower soul forest, except for the one in the palace is free, the other nine flower forests each live a high priest, the high priests have their own specialties, some are good at martial arts, some are proficient in medicine......
The Sri family is in charge of the seventh Flower Soul Forest, and the high priest in it is adept at using all kinds of aromas, and in the common parlance of the rivers and lakes, he can make ecstasy.
The Sri family was well-informed and well-thought-out, and was an alternative in the land of incense, and when everyone else obediently accepted the new ruler, only the men of their family fled the capital, as if to avenge their father.
The word "revenge" is not even in the language of the Land of Incense, and it took a while for the two interpreters to explain, both of them wondering the choice of the Sri family.
The Seventh Flower Soul Forest is located dozens of miles southwest of the capital, Gu Shenwei immediately sent someone to ask for an antidote overnight, and the clan leaders finally understood the rules in front of them, so they reminded the Dragon King that the Flower Soul Forest was a labyrinth composed of plants, and if no one led the way, it might not be easy to enter, or if they could get in, they would not be able to get out.
The pattern of each Flower Soul Forest was basically the same, with only differences in details, so Gu Shenwei assigned another clan leader to lead the way.
Accepting this lesson, Gu Shenwei continued to inquire about the aristocratic hostages.
More and more information also made him more and more uneasy.
The Dragon King is not the first person to conquer the country of Xiangji on his own, before him, Old Man Mu has become the "Uncrowned King", at this moment, he is hiding in an unknown corner of the retreat, planning to practice with the army of the Great Snow Mountain after leaving the pass.
The nobles forced the female slaves out of the city to lure the warriors of the Great Snow Mountain, just to keep these human targets.
Gu Shenwei is not afraid of Old Man Mu, a person is not an opponent of the army in any case, he is afraid that Old Man Mu will not fight a public decisive battle, but avoid the Dragon King to carry out a sneak attack, and specialize in assassinating ordinary soldiers.
Gu Shen gave the order, and Tuo Nengya personally led 200 people to sweep every inch of the land of the country of incense, looking for the place where the old man Mu was retreating, and after finding it, don't do anything, and come back immediately to report.
Tuo Nengya had heard of Old Man Mu's notoriety, so he paid more attention to this matter than ordinary people, and immediately led people to set off on a mission.
The leisurely days of the Daisetsuzan army in the country of incense are over, and although many people have not yet felt it personally, the tense atmosphere spreads from the dragon king to everyone.
How to distribute the spoils of war, get back the antidote to save people in time, and find the whereabouts of the old man Mu, problems came one after another, and each of them required Gu Shenwei to solve them as soon as possible.
