Chapter 40: Blood Drawing

King Meng couldn't help but feel angry when he saw Yuan Qi using the same move as the previous one. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info This is obviously looking down on yourself.

So, King Meng was furious, forgot his identity as a prisoner, and used all the power that could be used in his body, and in his anger, he couldn't avoid Yuan Qi's vital point, and raised his big knife to slash at the top of Yuan Qi's head.

The halberds collided with each other again, and the bell-a more piercing sound of gold and iron rang out. The big knife in King Meng's hand was hit into the air without any suspense, and Yuan Qi's halberd was not exhausted, stabbing straight at King Meng's throat. King Meng sighed secretly, closed his eyes weakly, and waited for Yuan Qi's halberd to pierce his throat.

Yuan Qi naturally would not kill King Meng at this time, skillfully controlled the halberd, lightly touched King Meng's shoulders, and then rode his horse and galloped past.

After waiting for a while with his eyes closed, the unexpected sharp pain came, King Meng opened his eyes, only to find that Yuan Qi had staggered past and ran behind him.

After running more than a dozen steps, Yuan Qi shouted: "Don't move!" The jade unicorn suddenly retracted his body in the high-speed running, a pair of hind hooves firmly inserted into the ground, a pair of front hooves rose into the air, and the upper half of the horse's body stood upright, stagnating in the air.

Yuan Qi, who was sitting on horseback, actually stood up on horseback and formed two parallel lines with the upper body of the jade qilin. After that, Yuan Qi shouted angrily: "Open!" The halberd in his hand slashed into the air with unparalleled might. Where the halberd passed, there were gusts of wind. The tip of the halberd is pointing in the direction where King Meng's broadsword fell!

The sound of the bell and the sound of gold and iron sounded again. The big sword that fell from mid-air with its own huge inertia was actually cut into two pieces by Yuan Qi's halberd! The big sword that was broken in two and the front hooves of the jade qilin fell to the ground at the same time.

The audience was silent!

I was shocked by the thunderous blow of Yuan Qi!

Yuan Qi turned the horse's head, pointed at King Meng with the halberd in his hand, and said coldly: "You, do you want to accept it?"

King Meng looked down at his right arm, which had been broken by Yuan Qi, he didn't know that his current condition was so similar to the situation of Timanda's right arm that had been broken by Yuan Qi before he died! But he knew that he had been defeated, and the defeat was so miserable, not only was the big knife in his hand knocked away, but even his right arm was broken by Yuan Qi with a secret method, and it was already swollen at this time, almost as thick as his thigh.

A low voice came from King Meng's mouth: "The skills are not as good as others, and I am convinced." ”

Yuan Qi raised his eyebrows, and said casually and seemingly casually: "If Ben Hou remembers correctly, you Assassin Tower people have a rule, the defeated are the prisoners of the victors, and the captives can be redeemed with gold and silver treasures or cattle and sheep, right?"

King Meng was stunned when he heard this, and said slowly, "What do you mean?"

Yuan Qi's eyes rolled, and he said lightly: "It's not interesting, it's just that I don't want to kill you all of a sudden, as long as you agree to Ben Hou's three conditions, Ben Hou will let you go back to the grassland." ”

King Meng said in a hurried tone: "Is this true?"

Yuan Qi shook the halberd in his hand and said proudly: "Naturally, take it seriously." ”

Thinking about it, Yuan Qi, who took the initiative, really didn't need to make fun of himself, so King Meng asked slowly: "Please tell your conditions." ”

Yuan Qi nodded, and said loudly: "First, from now on, as long as my father, Mu Yuangong of Youzhou, is on any day, the Thorn Tower people will not invade my border again. ”

King Meng nodded without hesitation and agreed.

"Second, Ben Hou wants you to select seven thousand Thorn Tower elites and send them to the city together with their families, from now on, these elites have nothing to do with Thorn Towers, and their future identities are no different from those of the Han people. Of course, the five thousand captives who have already been captured by Benhou are not counted, they are already Benhou's trophies. They were also to be sent along with the families of the captives. ”

King Meng couldn't help but hesitate. Seven thousand elites, for the Thorn Tower is quite a large combat force, the Thorn Tower population is small, this time he led the 100,000 army, many of them are civilians, forced to pick up knives and guns to go to the battlefield, Thorn Tower is a nomadic people, although many civilians take up arms, stepping on a war horse is a qualified warrior, but between qualified and elite, the gap is still very large. The elite of the Thorn Tower people who have been systematically trained, the total number is not more than 30,000, and 7,000 at once, King Meng is very reluctant, not to mention the families of these people, how can there be 30,000 or 40,000 people, it is undoubtedly a serious blow to the Thorn Tower, which has a small population base, and will seriously affect the reproduction and combat effectiveness of the Thorn Tower.

Yuan Ying and the others in the hall heard Yuan Qi's condition, and they couldn't help but secretly shoot the case, this is the bottom of the kettle, with a thorn tower Meng King, for us in exchange for seven thousand elites plus thirty or forty thousand people, and also forced the Meng King and these people to break off, and after these people arrived in the territory of the Han people, they were scattered and distributed to live in various counties in Youzhou, and in a few years, these Thorn Tower people will be sinicized and become a member of the Han people. Thinking about it from a distance, the descendants of them and the Han people will have at least half of the Han blood on their bodies, and they will be considered real Han people by then. Moreover, under this dissipation, the Thorn Tower's strength is bound to be greatly damaged, even if King Meng has a grudge, it is impossible to launch another large-scale invasion in a short time.

Looking at Yuan Qi's resolute face, King Meng sighed secretly, with Yuan Qi here, he couldn't defeat Youzhou at all. Right now, it's still important to save your life, knock out your teeth and swallow blood. So, King Meng gritted his teeth and agreed to Yuan Qi's request.

Seeing that King Meng agreed, Yuan Qi said the third condition: "Within ten days, 20,000 war horses will be sent, and Benhou wants war horses, not herding horses, don't think about fooling Benhou with shoddy." ”

When the king of Meng heard this condition, he immediately roared angrily: "Impossible! This condition will never be agreed to by the king!" Thorn tower is a nomadic people, and daily life is inseparable from horses, let alone war horses? You know, the price of a thorn tower horse is enough to top a good house.

Yuan Qi chuckled and said, "What, isn't the dignified King of Assassin Tameng worth 20,000 war horses?"

King Meng bared his teeth and shouted: "It's not a question of whether it's worth it or not, we Thorn Tower people have lived on horseback for generations, and without horses, we can't do anything, this condition is absolutely impossible!"

Yuan Qi stretched out a finger, shook it gently, and said indifferently: "Don't forget, now that you are my captive, I can let you go to hell to see Timanda at any time!

King Meng was angry with Yuan Qi's red face, but he was afraid of Yuan Qi's tiger power, and he didn't dare to go too far, and finally stretched out a finger, gritted his teeth and said: "Ten thousand horses, one more, this king would rather die under your hands, anyway, he will not have the face to return to the grassland." ”

Yuan Qi looked at King Meng's expression and felt that this was indeed King Meng's bottom line, so he said: "Okay, 10,000 horses is 10,000 horses!"

Yuan Ying and the others in the hall watched Yuan Qi and King Meng reach a consensus, and they were all impressed by Yuan Qi's methods. Yuan Ying waved his hand and called a sergeant and said, "Prepare pen and ink, write two agreements according to the conditions reached between General Huwei and King Meng, and then ask King Meng to leave his handprint." ”

According to Yuan Ying's instructions, Yan Yi wrote two agreements, and then handed them to Yuan Qi and King Meng respectively, and the two of them respectively left their own handprints on the agreement, and then exchanged the agreements with each other and left their handprints again. An invasion that should have been protracted has been wiped out in this way, and this winter, the Thorns are destined to be cold.

Three days later, Zhuojun Taishou Cui Shou and Liaoxi Taishou Gongsun Ruyun, respectively, led 3,000 soldiers to join the division, Yuan Ying defeated Yuan Qi to defeat the 20,000 cavalry in front of the Thorn Tower, and designed to lure the King of Thorn Tower Meng to come to Beiping City, captured King Meng, and then told King Meng about the three chapters of the covenant proposed by King Meng. After Cui Shou and Gongsun Ruyun listened, they couldn't help but praise again and again, and Gongsun Ruyun admired Yuan Qi even more, and asked Yuan Qi to tell the whole process of the war in detail. Yuan Qi was forced to be helpless, so he had to roughly explain the story before and after, and after Gongsun Ruyun listened, he admired Yuan Qi even more.

Ten days later, according to Yuan Qi's requirements, the Thorn Tower people first sent 10,000 good horses, and after Zhang Chong led the elite of the Tiangui Camp to inspect, it was confirmed that these 10,000 horses were all good war horses, and not a single bad horse was mixed with them.

Twenty days later, the Thorn Tower people sent another 7,000 elites, along with the families of these 7,000 elites, as well as the families of the 5,000 captives captured by Yuan Qi.

After that, Cui Shou and Gongsun Iruyun led their troops back to their respective jurisdictions. After Yuan Ying was rectified, he also led the army back to Ji County, and also took away the families of 12,000 Thorn Tower Warriors, after counting, these family members totaled 53,230 people, after returning to Ji County, Yuan Ying will scatter the families of these Thorn Tower Warriors and distribute them to various counties. As for the 12,000 Thorn Tower soldiers, Yuan Ying also took half of them, and the remaining half was temporarily handed over to Yuan Qi, and Yuan Qi was temporarily guarded in Beiping until the imperial court appointed a new Beiping Prefecture Pastor. Yuan Ying is not worried that the remaining 6,000 Thorn Tower elites will rebel, after all, the grassland is the law of the jungle, whoever wins will listen to whomever wins, and their families have been moved to the mainland, for the sake of their families, they will not rebel easily. What's more, they were swept out of the house by King Meng and handed over to Yuan Qi, even if they didn't say anything, they probably accumulated some resentment in their hearts.

After several military horses withdrew from Beiping, Yuan Qi finally calmed down, but soon he found that he was wrong, because he still had to solve all kinds of trivial matters.

The six thousand thorn tower elites were reorganized into a cavalry by Yuan Qi, handed over to Zhang Long for training, and in accordance with the standard equipment standards of the Youzhou army, they were uniformly issued with armor weapons.

Next, it is the question of the return of the eight hundred places, these elites who have experienced the Great War and have seen fire and blood, after Zhang Chong's strict training during this time, the overall strength has made some progress, and the meaning of Yuan Qi's treatment of the eight hundred places is also obvious, and the army that can be named by Yuan Qi himself means that it is the elite army of Yuan Qi. For his elite henchmen, Yuan Qi has always been very generous, so he once again spent a huge amount of money to create steel knives, hand crossbows and willow leaf heavy armor for this elite, Yuan Qi's definition of eight hundred land returns, is hoplite. The willow leaf heavy armor equipped with them is almost as strong as that of the Tiangui Battalion, and the reason why it is called heavy armor is because the armor equipped by the Earth Return Camp is two layers of armor superimposed on top of each other, and the Earth Returning Elite equipped with the willow leaf heavy armor is like a moving humanoid castle, shrinking the whole body in a metal box, which can be said to be defensive to the teeth. Fortunately, the Taishi Chamber of Commerce has been operating very well over the years, ensuring that Yuanqi has enough financial resources to arm this elite.

In the next, there are 4,000 county soldiers from Beiping, these people were reorganized into an infantry army by Yuan Qi, and temporarily trained by Zhao Hu, who is also the commander of the Tiangui Battalion. Clothing, weapons, and salaries were also equipped and paid in accordance with the standards. Yuan Qi's attitude towards these county soldiers did not treat them as rebels at all. It also makes these people grateful, and they work harder when training.

After all the things were settled, another ten days had passed, Yuan Qi rubbed his head with a faint pain, and then realized that although his subordinates are now strong and strong, they are extremely lacking in talents to govern the army and manage political affairs, and now there are only Xun Luo and Tian Mou under his command, and the generals are only Zhang Chong, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu.
