Chapter 8 Chapter 8 The wine is here, where is the beauty?
One word is wrong, and it suddenly becomes beautiful.Miss Tang, who was always delicate and savage in front of her, showed a rare shy look, she bit her red lips lightly with her white teeth, her almond eyes were hazy like smoke, Yang Hao couldn't help feeling a little distracted.The two people fought against each other across the Chu River and Han Realm, and it seemed that they also carried some lingering taste of death.
This kind of ambiguous blessing is not easy to enjoy. Seeing Miss Tang carrying the big 'army' walking towards the sun, Yang Hao didn't dare to point out her mistakes. Just when he was feeling extremely embarrassed, Bisu ran in in a hurry, and everyone He shouted: "Master Futai, Muen soldiers are trapped in Dongyang Village, and the bandit chief is about to give his head."
"What?" Yang Hao was overjoyed, jumped up and said: "Okay, haha, we will be able to finish all the work in one battle soon. Come on, bring some gifts I prepared, and we will start on the road immediately, to Dongyang Village."
Yang Hao said to Tang Yanyan with a sigh of relief: "Miss Tang, Yang is going to the military situation immediately to clean up the mess. This chess game..."
Tang Yanyan had just flown the elephant across the Chu River-Han border, and he was relieved when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "It's important business, my lord please."
Yang Hao cupped his hands, and hurriedly followed Bisu out, walked to the door and subconsciously looked back, only to see Tang Yanyan staring at his back with a half-smile, his heart skipped a beat, and he didn't dare to look back again.
When he left, Tang Yanyan turned back and walked to the couch, took out a bottle from under the quilt, held it in her arms and thought: "This battle is going to be over? Okay! When he comes back, I will encourage the merchants to ask He offered wine to congratulate, um... use this bottle to toast, after he drank, I smashed the bottle back, Zhe Ziyu... hum!"
I just smiled happily, and suddenly remembered the "big mound" that I saw that night. The difference between men and women is so strange that she didn't know how many books such as "Su Nu Jing" to understand the relationship between men and women. But that nasty 'big mound' has often had a dream since then, when I think of it now, it seems like a good thing is approaching, and for a while, my heart is bumping like a deer, and my tender face can't help but blush Xia, her feet felt like she was stepping on cotton wool, they were so soft that she couldn’t use her strength, and she couldn’t even touch the ground. She was thinking about it, and suddenly she became a little scared...
Dongyang Village is the residence of the Qiang Dongyang Clan in Hengshan, with a radius of ten miles and eight hundred clan tents. It is not the largest among the Qiang tribes in Hengshan, but its strength should not be underestimated.In the battles among the tribes, the Dongyang Clan rarely suffered losses, and no one dared to mention that the army went straight to Dongyang Village to destroy a tribe with more than a thousand young and strong warriors, and hundreds of Hengshan Qiang tribes, large and small. Among them, only Ye Li could afford such consumption. Apart from its own tent of 800 clans, Dongyang Village also gathered refugees from various tribes, large and small, who had fled from various places. There were also many warriors among them, and it would not be difficult to gather a thousand warriors.Rimai Tenzin, the headman of Dongyang Village, was very happy about this situation.Those clansmen who fled, their original tribes and villages were completely razed. From now on, they can only rely on the Dongyang clan.As a result, the Dongyang family will benefit from the first-class Great Fortress, and his status will also rise.This kind of wealth is a hundred times greater than the wealth his clansman looted from Luling Prefecture. However, his joy only lasted for a few days. This morning, just as he woke up, he received a message: Dongyang Village was surrounded.Full of doubts, Rimai Tenzin boarded the watchtower of the Baozhai, only to find that the people surrounding Dongyangzhai turned out to be Han Chinese troops from Luling Prefecture. Rimai Tenzin, the headman, was furious, and immediately ordered people to blow the horn, summon the warriors, and go out of the city to fight the enemy. He would never allow others to invade and challenge his authority. A mere thousand Han cavalry dared to invade the door , to challenge the Qiang warriors who have lived on horseback since childhood and are twice as big as him? But after the First World War, he discovered to his astonishment that the thousand knights from Luling Prefecture were far more proficient in riding and shooting than them. After all, compared with the large grassland tribes that live by water and grass, they are not as proficient in bowing horses, but these thousand knights are braver than the most warrior tribes on the grassland. You must know that Li Guangcen has been living on the Turpan grassland these years, with dozens of personal attendants, and has grown from scratch step by step.Although there were occasional wars among the Qiang tribes on the Xiazhou Grassland, the general territory was relatively stable, and life-and-death wars rarely occurred between them.However, Li Guangcen's tribe is different. They want to escape from the Xiazhou Tuoba clan and compete with the Turpan people for grassland and water sources. They don't grow up on horseback all their lives, but fight on horseback all their lives. In the harsh environment, instead of being wiped out or annexed, they gradually grew stronger. How brave should those tribesmen be? But it is precisely because this kind of life is too difficult that the tribe lives under the shadow of war all day long, and as they grow stronger, it gradually arouses the vigilance of the Tupan tribe, so Li Guangcen knows that the future is numbered, and the tribe When there is a lack of a wise and courageous leader in the country, they do everything possible to find a way out for these tribesmen and arrange a stable life. The fighting power of these knights is naturally superior to the knights that the Dongyang clan is proud of.But despite this, Dongyang Village occupies a favorable location and has twice as many soldiers as the incoming enemy, Rimai Tenzin is fearless, he came out with all his strength, intending to defeat all the incoming enemy in one battle.Unexpectedly, two thousand fine cavalry escaped from hiding, and the future Han army was forced to retreat. When they were about to take advantage of the victory and pursue them, two cavalrymen, as brave as the enemy in front, descended from the sky and came from the left and right flanks. If the people of Rima Tenzin hadn't seen the opportunity quickly and immediately retreated to protect the big man, even he, the big man, would have died under the sudden rain of arrows from the two fine cavalry.Three thousand against two thousand, and the combat power of individual soldiers is far superior to theirs, and it is because they are prepared and unprepared, how can this battle be fought?The number of knights who returned to Dongyang Village alive was less than 700. Such cruel strangulation completely destroyed Dongyang Village's courage to fight in just one battle. The clansmen who lost their sons, husbands, and fathers burst into tears. For the first time, he began to face up to these opponents, and a kind of fear arose from the bottom of his heart. He sent nearly a hundred of his trusted clansmen, led by his eldest son Tashi himself, to break out at night and beg for help from two nearby big tribes.These lush pastures are the foundation of the Dongyang clan. He is really reluctant to part with them, but he is no longer able to resist these god-like Han people. If reinforcements cannot be obtained, the Dongyang clan may be wiped out from Hengshan Twenty years later, no one remembers that there was a Dongyang village here, and there was a group of Dongyang people. When Tashi came back, nearly a hundred warriors went in and out, and only five came back alive.His son, Tashi, a brave Dongyang warrior, broke his arm, went blind, and returned to the village like a bloody man, but what he brought him was news that made him even more desperate: the two great tribes were standing still , do nothing to help.Even when Tashi took the initiative and gave up four lands, which is almost the condition of the entire Dongyang Clan's grassland, they still remained unmoved. Rimai Tenzin was dumbfounded, he just sat back on the tiger-skin chair, listening to the sound of fighting outside the fortress, he no longer knew how to solve the predicament in front of him.The Han army is making those siege weapons that the grassland tribes are not good at. Dongyang Village does not have deep and high walls like the Han people. It does not need too huge siege vehicles and ladders to attack. Tonight, he can still hold it. What about tomorrow?But now even the old and the weak, women and children come in handy. "Father, I saw the messenger of the Yeli clan in the Qifeng clan. Could it be that the Yeli clan was behind it? Only the Yeli clan can coerce their two tribes to refuse to lend a helping hand to us." Tashi, who was covered in blood, looked shocking, but he didn't wrap up, and roared loudly with blood all over his face. Rimai Tenzin looked at his son with dull eyes, and said in a low voice: "Yeli clan? Our people have no grievances with Yeli clan. Why do they help the Han people? If Yeli clan wants to attack us, why do we need to use false hands?" Others?" Tashi was speechless. After pondering for a while, Rimai Tenzin raised his head and said in a painful tone: "We... offer the village to beg for surrender..." "What?" Tashi was furious: "Father, we can't surrender. Once we surrender, can we still hold our heads up and call ourselves heroes? All the tribes in Hengshan will look down on us, we can't surrender, and we swear to the death! " Rima Tenzin was not as thoughtless as his son, and he replied bitterly: "If you don't surrender, maybe it suits them. Now they have made it clear that they want to wipe out my Dongyang family. My son, the situation is compelling ..." On the side, Zha Ketel, the leader of the Mo family who came to join him, rolled his eyes and stepped forward and said, "Master Dan Zeng, I have an idea..." "Huh?" Rimai Tenzin turned his head to look at him with a gray face, and Zhaketer's eyes narrowed slightly, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes, and said: "Let's...surrender!"
Bisu said with a smile on his face: "Master Zhaketer, our Lord Yang Hao actually does not want to meet with the Qiangs in Hengshan. To tell you the truth, there are already some Qiang tribes who have joined our lord, and our lord treats them But You Rong treats everyone equally. You not only attract people to surrender, but also help us to cheat and open the fortress. I will appoint you as an official who will be in charge, and when the time comes, when I see you, I will also respectfully call you my lord." "Don't dare, Mr. Bi is polite." Zha Ketel said with a smile: "Under the might of the heavenly soldiers, Zha Ketel only wants to protect his own people, this official dare not think about it." He looked back worriedly, and said doubtfully: "Lord Bi, it's already getting late. I'll take you to the Zhaizhai Gate at this time, under the cover of night, don't you just ambush the left and near to attack the village? The one I chose The place is very close to the west gate, and the surrounding area is full of forests, so it is very easy to ambush, why... you want me to bring everyone here instead." Bi Su laughed and said: "Don't you understand this? Actually, I don't understand either. Our adults say that in the early morning is when a person is most sleepy. Wait for the dawn to cheat the door. Let's take This Dongyang Village is even easier. You rest in this valley first, our Master Mu has prepared a lot of wine and meat for you to eat, and rest until the dawn is about to dawn, and then we will move." "Okay, okay, General Mu is really smart, really smart..." Zha Ketel looked back at his two hundred people, secretly anxious in his heart, in the dense forest outside the west gate, many archers had already secretly ambushed, waiting He lured these Han people to defraud the stronghold, and when the time comes, he will strike suddenly. With their archery skills, they can definitely win more with less and kill most of the Han people who have not yet entered the stronghold.At that time, the gate of the village will be closed, and the dense arrow nets in the village will be enough to kill all the Han people who enter the village. At that time, the situation between the enemy and ourselves will inevitably be reversed. It seems that I have to find an opportunity in a while and send someone back to deliver a letter. Zacktel was thinking about it, when Bisu suddenly held his stomach and said, "Oh, I'm a little anxious, you guys wait a minute, I'll go to the side for convenience." "Okay, Mr. Bi, please." Zha Ketel was overjoyed, and quickly agreed, and when Bisu got into the grass, he immediately waved to call someone, and hurriedly said: "Sneak into the grass and hide in a while. Let's move on, you can go back and tell Master Danjar that the Han people will go to the city in the early morning, and tell him to be careful." "Yes." The man stroked his chest and gave a salute, then burrowed into the grass on the other side. Zhaketel smiled and turned his head, looking at Bisu who was squatting in the grass. After a long time, he suddenly felt a surge of emotion. A warning sign suddenly raised.He cried out uneasily: "Master Bi, Master Bi?" Bisu squatted there motionless, Zha Ketel's expression changed, and he walked over quickly, and when he got closer, he couldn't help but change his expression. There was only one piece of clothing hanging on the wormwood half the height of a person. The handsome Mr. Bi has long since disappeared. "Not good, spread out quickly, fall down, and prepare to retreat!" Zha Ketel issued several orders in a row, and the clansmen looked at a loss when they heard it. At this moment, dozens of people suddenly appeared from behind the trees on the grassy slope more than 20 feet away from the left, each with their bows and arrows. , staring at them fiercely with big eyes, making gestures to shoot arrows. Immediately afterwards, on the right, front, and rear, countless Han soldiers held bows and arrows, and surrounded them in a dense formation in the grass and dense forest. A big man with furious tiger eyes and bearded cheeks appeared at Taniguchi with a machete, and roared like thunder with his tongue: "You rats, how dare you feign surrender and kill without mercy!" Zha Ketel recognized this person as Mu Kui, the general next to the Mutuan envoy, and shouted anxiously: "Wait a minute, general, we sincerely want to serve Master Yang Hao, the general can't kill us." Mukui looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Zha Ketel, do you think we are all Han Chinese, and we only wear this clothes to cover people's eyes and eyes and make it easier to move along the way? Hahaha..., your tricks can be deceived by others, and you can't hide it from others. How could it be possible to hide it from me?" He pointed his knife forward and shouted: "I, the Qiang people, have important matters concerning the signing of an alliance. Why don't you swear to the Great God Baishi? Since you have come to surrender, why don't you dare to mention the Great God Baishi? My Qiang tribe, the family There are many people without knives, but there is no family without bows and arrows. Why do you all wear scimitars for melee combat, but there are very few bows and arrows? Since you came to the city at night, no one can take care of others. Why do you All the people brought here are strong and strong men, without a family member, and none of them seem to worry about their family?" "I..." Zha Ketel was still waiting to defend himself, but Mu Kui had already shouted, "Kill!" A soldier loosened his fingers, and a wolf-toothed arrow shot out in response to the string. The arrow was like a shooting star. At a distance of ten or twenty feet, the string sounded. Ketel fell on his back, and the sky was dark for a while, only the arrows screamed in his ears, screaming everywhere, those dead soldiers with swords had no chance to rush to the surrounded archers, and fell to the ground one after another. In a short time, there was no one standing whole on the ground in the valley, and the archers around did not say a word, and silently put their bows back on their shoulders. Slowly pull out the knife from the waist, and walk forward step by step. When seeing someone who is still panting, he makes up the knife like killing a chicken, or cuts the throat, or pierces the chest. It is very neat, that kind of cold-blooded, calm, Seeing the cold expression, Bisu, who was squatting on a big pine tree, couldn't help but change color. Mu Kui's loud voice shook the roof tiles again: "Leave a group of people to clean up the battlefield, and the rest follow me to the west gate of Dongyang Village. The Dongyang clan's ambush troops must have been blocked outside the gate... ..."
The most powerful Dongyang clan within hundreds of miles was wiped out. When Yang Hao arrived, all the men in the village who were taller than the wheels had been beheaded by Mu En. Mu En is a loving father in front of his daughter, a generous elder in front of his clan, and a loyal servant in front of Li Guangcen and Yang Hao, but in front of the enemy, he is like a god of killing. made of iron.The desperate life on the grassland has tempered his special character. Every warrior in the tribe seems to be the same as him, just like a wolf. . On the contrary, the "Wolf King" Yang Hao, who they bowed their heads to obey and willingly pledged their allegiance to, showed a trace of unbearable color in his eyes.Yang Hao was able to calmly make correct judgments when strategizing, and he was able to analyze right and wrong, big benevolence and small benevolence in front of Tang Yanyan, but he still lacked enough training on the battlefield. When he witnessed the bloody scene with his own eyes, It is impossible not to be affected by emotions. But he didn't say anything. What Muen did was in line with the principle of grassland survival: the strong prey on the weak. Since you want to create an enemy, you must deal with the punishment you will receive if you fail. If Yang Hao is a loser, his The end game will not be half a point better than his opponent, so he can only follow this principle and adapt to this principle, instead of foolishly speaking benevolence to wolves and sending his own people into the fire pit. All the utensils and wealth in Rimai Tenzin's big house have been emptied, and there are some fire starters left in the house. This place will be razed to the ground, and the entire Dongyang Village will be turned into ruins. Everyone who passed by here remembered what happened here, and they all remembered the punishment they might suffer if they offended Luling Prefecture. Yang Hao came out of Rimai Tenzin's big house, and said to Mu En, who was walking half a step behind him: "Let Mu Kui escort the women and children back first, and you and Bi Su stay, and accompany me to Qi Feng's, The Mohu tribe went there once, and this time they attacked the Dongyang tribe, they stood still and did not provide assistance. Although it was because of the Yeli tribe's threat, it can be regarded as my Luling prefecture's acceptance of them. Use both kindness and power, use both kindness and power, this power has been used, now it is time to use kindness, but my kindness is not used on our opponents who have lost us, but on those who have not yet fought against us on the tribe.These two tribes are not small, so I will bring some gifts to visit, and invite them and the big leaders of the various Qiang tribes in Hengshan to gather in the Yeli clan, imitate the story of the alliance with the Dangxiang Qi clan, and build relationships with them. " Seeing Mu En's surprised expression, Yang Hao smiled and said: "Hehe, of course, with these tribes, large and small, dotted all over the Hengshan Mountains, it is impossible to establish any alliance and elect any co-lord. The deal keeps them in check, their interests are integrated, and their anger will disappear, at least they must stand by our side. At present, as long as we can keep them from causing trouble for us, we will achieve our goal." Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped and looked at some people guarded by soldiers under the long wooden corridor next to him. These people were men and women, old and young. People from the Dongyang clan, these people looked ragged and disheveled, like a group of refugees.Yang Hao's strange thing is that the entire Dongyang village is full of dead bodies, and all the Dongyang men who are taller than the wheels of the carts are all buried, but there are many adult men in this corridor. Seeing him staring at those people, Mu En hurriedly explained: "My lord, these people are not from the Dongyang clan, they are captives who were captured by other tribes when they fought against the Dongyang clan, and became slaves of the Dongyang people. hard labor." "Oh?" Yang Hao's eyes moved slightly, and he raised his voice and said: "Tell people to retreat, don't treat them as slaves, since the members of the Dongyang clan are captured by you, you can assign them as slaves according to your rules. But they are different, these people also want to move to Luling Prefecture, but they have to be civilians, and the state government will resettle their lives." There was a puzzled look in Mu En's eyes, but he still carried out his order to the letter. He waved his hand to make the soldiers with swords and bows retreat, and loudly announced Yang Hao's order to them. Those expressions The dumb slaves were surprised and happy when they heard this, and after a moment of commotion, they knelt down to Yang Hao, worshiped Yang Hao, and muttered something in their mouths. Yang Hao had a lot of contacts with the Qiang people, although he couldn't understand what they were talking about , I also know that it means praise and blessing. Kneeling in front of his feet was a man of unusually tall stature and huge bones. He was nearly two heads taller than others out of thin air. Naturally, he attracted special attention. Yang Hao couldn't help but look at him twice. At five or six, the figure is still strong and burly, but there are traces of gray at the temples, and the dark face is full of bumps and pits, which seems to be a little pockmarked. This person also knelt down and kowtowed like others, but his eyes secretly glanced at Yang Hao. When the two eyes met, the person couldn't help being startled, and suddenly panicked, and he didn't dare to look up again.Yang Hao smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to thank me. This world is under the Great Song Dynasty. No matter you are Han or Qiang people, you are all citizens of the Great Song Dynasty. Like the Dongyang family, they are stubborn and lawless, and they work for the people and secretly for the bandits. Yes, this official will punish you severely. As long as you follow the rules and abide by the king's law, this official will never make things difficult for you. Get up." After finishing speaking, Yang Hao smiled all over his face and leaned over to help the burly man up.Although this big man is tall and big, he is not as domineering as Muen Mukui. He looks very simple and honest. Yang Hao went to help him himself, which surprised him. After standing up, he muttered for a while, as if he wanted to express his gratitude He expressed his respect, but he didn't say a word for a long while. Yang Hao patted his hand and comforted him: "You don't have to be restrained, this Dongyang village will soon cease to exist, and I will take you to Luling Prefecture. Once there, you will no longer be slaves. Herding, hunting, grazing, fishing, or doing other livelihoods, I will definitely arrange for you properly." This man's hands are full of thick calluses, the hard calluses on the mouth of the tiger and the roots of the fingers are piled up high, and the palms and fingertips are thick skin like pads. I don't know what kind of work he usually does. Hearing Yang Hao's words , he would only nod his head vigorously to show his obedience, Yang Hao smiled kindly at him, then turned and walked away. "My lord, it's only natural for a prisoner of a prisoner to be a slave. Your lord doesn't need to be so polite to them." Mu En said to Yang Hao when he left the place like the stable. "They are all Qiang people who have lived in Hengshan for a long time. If Luling Prefecture wants to gain a foothold here, it has to deal with the local people. The contacts between the government and the leaders of the tribes are just a passing cloud. Only the people get along with each other. It is fundamental. It takes a lot of time to communicate closely with other ethnic groups, and through these people, communication will be much faster." Mu En thought for a while, and if he realized something, he said: "What your lord said is true." At this moment, Tianjiu ran over in a hurry and shouted: "Father, I found some bitter gourd seeds, took them back and planted them, and next summer there will be bitter gourds to eat." Yang Hao looked at the palm of her hand, and it was clearly watermelon seeds. He recalled that when he was in Ding’s house, he had seen all kinds of seasonal melons and fruits, but he had never seen watermelon, and there was no memory of watermelon in Ding Hao’s memory. This thing is not popular in the Central Plains yet.Destiny, it's really amazing, if I saw this watermelon seed when I first came to this world with nothing, what would I be like today?Maybe you are planting watermelons somewhere in the Central Plains, and you want to be a melon farmer to grow melons and sell them? Yang Hao thought it was funny, but Mu En didn't look at the melon seeds, and said with a straight face: "It's not big or small, in front of adults, I don't know how to be polite." Tianjiu sticks out her tongue, she can't see anyone around, so she strokes Yang Hao's chest and salutes, "Tianjiu has seen the young master." Seeing her perfunctory attitude, Mu En shook his head helplessly, and asked, "Have you ever caught those who escaped?" Tianjiu shook his head and said: "No, they are too familiar with this place. They turned left and right in the woods, and then they disappeared. We only caught one injured and fell behind, and more than 20 people escaped. One of them was Rima Tenzin's son Tashi, but he has broken his arm and is blind in one eye, so he can't afford to make troubles." After hearing this, Yang Hao asked: "Why, there are still fish that slipped through the net?" Mu En said: "Yes, because Tashi was injured, he neither set up an ambush outside nor in the front village, but stayed in the back village to rest. After we attacked the village, he knew that there was nothing he could do, so he gathered some subordinates to escape went." Tianjiu scrambled and said, "It doesn't matter if there are ten or twenty people who escaped." Mu En interrupted and said: "To cut the weeds, we must get rid of the roots. In the past, your father and I protected the Lord and fled to the Turpan people's territory. Didn't we have today's three thousand elite cavalry? Don't be careless." Yang Hao nodded, and said slowly: "Continue to inquire about their whereabouts, especially...to see if any tribe is willing to take him in..." Mu En's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, my lord, this subordinate understands."
The two heads of the Qifeng clan and the Mohu clan were very polite to Yang Hao, a poor and white Han prefect. As the two powerful tribes near the Hengshan Mountains, although they did not belong to each other with the Yeli clan, the largest tribe in Hengshan, they were mutually exclusive. The relationship between them is still very close. When the Ye Li clan solemnly sent a messenger to warn them to stay out of the matter and never to participate in the war between Luling Prefecture and the tribes that plundered Luling Prefecture, they realized that something was wrong.Originally, their clansmen were jealous when they saw other clans looting, and they were a little ready to move, but they were immediately stopped by the heads of the two clans. Sure enough, the Han people launched a counterattack with unprecedented reaction speed and unprecedented retaliation methods. The blows followed one after another, which was dizzying.Now when they saw Yang Hao, the magistrate of Luzhou with a smile on his face and always in a good mood, the two big bosses felt awe of him from the bottom of their hearts. What the grassland respects is absolute strength. The Ye Li clan can exert influence on them and prevent some of their actions, but they can't make them feel awe of a person. This awe can only come from the person's own actions.Yang Hao now has this capital. They readily agreed to Yang Hao's invitation.If the invitation was held in Luling Prefecture, they would really be a little worried, but if it was held in the No. 1 Qiangyeli clan in Hengshan, they would not have to worry about safety issues.The two agreed to attend the meeting and informed the leaders of other ministries on their behalf. The attitude of cooperation is very obvious. Yang Hao came here to urge these two big bosses, and through them, contact more bosses and express his goodwill.There is no senseless war, and the war must serve its political and economic goals. This war itself has achieved the result he wanted, and has captured a large amount of wealth and people. Now he is using this result to further expand its influence and seek Time for more political and economic interests.Now that he had achieved his goal, Yang Hao bid farewell to the two leaders, and rushed back to Luling Prefecture with Bisu, Mu En and others and nearly a thousand guards. On the way back, when the flag with the word "Yang" hit it, it really had the air of "the grandpa is here, and the gods avoid it". Even an illiterate person can already recognize the flag with the word "Yang". At the boundary of Luling Prefecture, if you go around a mountain bend in front, you will reach the mouth of the Luhe Valley. On the left are sloping trees and rocky mountain walls, and on the right are endless grasslands. The front view is limited. At the end of the mountain road, you have to stretch to the left to see the terrain in front of the valley.The mountain wall is extended in waves, so the team at the foot of the mountain is also moving forward in a snake.The leading guards had already reached the turning point, and they were reining in their horses to look back. At this moment, a sudden change occurred, and a few people suddenly stood up on the rock wall, and shot at the team with bows and arrows. Yang Hao was in a hurry when he left, and he was in a relaxed mood when he returned, so he couldn't help looking left and right, looking at the scenery. Fortunately, he was looking around, and he had already noticed these people as soon as they appeared. He was surrounded by soldiers on tall horses. He was well protected, and the range of the attack was much smaller. Those people were hidden on the mountain wall, and they only dared to peek occasionally to estimate his approximate position. When they stood up hastily, they couldn't shoot accurately. Only two arrows hit the target. He approached, but was pushed away by Yang Hao's divine sword. "Protect your lord!" A few guards squeezed in front of Yang Hao, quickly took off a few leather shields, and firmly protected the top of his head, causing the team to be in chaos.A big man emerged from the cliff, with a knife in his mouth, he propped himself up on the rock wall with one arm, and jumped down. He rolled and crawled on the sloping rock wall of six or seven feet, and the scars all over his body appeared in an instant. He took the scimitar from his mouth and rushed towards Yang Hao's place.This person has one arm and one eye, it is the Tashi who escaped. Other assassins also jumped down from the mountains one after another, rushing towards Yang Hao without fear of death. "Get out of the way!" Yang Hao pushed away the shield protecting the roof, got off his horse, and faced the one-armed swordsman Tashi with his sword.Swordsmanship is swordsmanship, no matter how beautiful it is, it is still used to kill people, and one must hone one's swordsmanship, which can only be improved in battle. Stabbing the sword at one arm, he rushed at the two guards like a mad tiger. With one swing of the scimitar, he cut off the two horse's legs. When the horse neighed, he stepped on the horse's head, Has jumped to Yang Hao. Seeing the assassin, Mu En raised his bow without even thinking about it, and swung the bow left and right, sharp arrows flew out continuously, the sound of strings blared wildly, and the whistling sound of the arrows made one's scalp tense.Before those assassins jumped to the ground, six or seven people were shot to death on the rock wall, and only ten or twenty people who jumped down were quickly submerged in the sea of people. Yang Hao let out a low cry, the sword light spit out suddenly, and a sword rainbow rose up, knocked away Tashi's scimitar with a "Zheng", raised the sword, and pointed it towards his throat.At this time, another assassin also rushed forward, Yang Hao turned his sword around, and only heard a "chi" sound, and the sword had penetrated into the assassin's heart.At the same time, Bisu's knife pierced the assassin's lower abdomen from the flank. Tashi was forced to retreat by Yang Hao's sword, staggered a few steps, his eyes were red, and he rushed like a madman. At this moment, he was slashed and stabbed twice by the brave warriors around Yang Hao. His attack has no power, but the bloody appearance, the cruelty that will kill Yang Hao seems shocking. Yang Hao moved his sword like flying, he drew his sword sideways, straightened his neck, still very elegant and unrestrained. Imminent, will also be very elegant. This sword stabbed to Tashi's chest, but Tashi didn't block it, instead, he rushed forward at a faster speed. It seemed that he was fighting to the death, and he was going to die with Yang Hao. Yang Hao was shocked, never expected He actually played like this.This was because he was inexperienced in battle, so he wanted to retreat immediately, but at this moment, Zha Xiang suddenly retreated. With the heart of death, he charged with all his strength, but he was able to stop and retreat in time?Yang Hao held his chest with a horizontal sword, protecting his vitals, and looked intently, but saw two scratching hooks protruding from the crowd, hooking Tashi's two thighs respectively, the hook blades penetrated into the muscles, dragging him like a dog to death went back. "and……" Before the word "slow" was uttered, five or six machetes fell on Tashi, chopping him into a human shape.Yang Hao rubbed his nose and shook his head secretly: "These guys are usually docile like sheep in front of me, but they are killing people too fast." The remnants of the Dongyang clan who were assassinating were surrounded by those brave warriors, like seven or eight lions devouring an antelope, their bodies were torn apart in a short time.Mu En rushed to Yang Hao, panicked and said: "Your Majesty is frightened because of your dereliction of duty." "It's okay, no one can do it seamlessly. I'm very satisfied with your ability to adapt." Yang Hao smiled. He was not afraid of these people's attack, but he was afraid of their escape.Since they are desperate, there is nothing to fear.So far, the Dongyang family has really been obliterated by him to the last trace. At Taniguchi, the common people and the merchants who stayed in the Luling Valley and dare not go out are eagerly looking forward to the return of the magistrate.The Luling Prefecture army's counterattack made them elated. If these people's hearts were for Yang Hao, it was only for his kindness, but now they are determined and willing to sacrifice their lives for him.In their eyes, Yang Hao is not only their parents' official, but also the real pillar and backbone of each of their families. They will no longer question any of Yang Hao's orders, and they believe that everything Yang Hao does is for the sake of They are good. Yang Hao's team appeared at Taniguchi. Seeing the cheering crowd in Taniguchi, Yang Hao smiled slightly and said: "I'll tell you, don't let your word out about the attack at this time, so as not to spoil the scenery." Waiting for Mu Enyi After conveying the order, Yang Hao raised the reins and said: "Let's go, the common people are welcoming me and you, the support and gratitude of the common people are bought by every warrior with their blood and lives, so cheer up , accept the welcome of the people!" "My lord, my lord!" Li Yuchang stopped in front of the horse, a little embarrassed in his heart: "Little girl, let me represent the merchants to toast your lord to thank you. Why...why do you insist on me using this bottle? Although this bottle is not very big, it can at least hold a catty of wine, so why is it that Yang Futai will pour him down as soon as he enters the valley?" This wine is a real old wine, which was originally reserved by Li Yuchang for his usual drinking. Just now, he saw Tang Yanyan holding a jar and pouring a bottle full, and he even urged him to persuade him. The more Yang Hao drank, the better. Li Yuchang was puzzled, but he had no choice but to agree. "My lord, in order to keep our Luling prefecture peaceful and the people of our Luling prefecture safe and secure, he personally led the army to go out to encircle and suppress bandits. He has worked hard and made great achievements. This old man was recommended by the people and merchants to express his gratitude to his lord and to all the soldiers! " 李玉昌把手一挥，百姓和商贾们便一拥而上，向一个个战士递出碗去，又倒上美酒，李玉昌则老脸微赧地捧起那只比观世音的柳枝净玉瓶儿大不了多少的瓶儿，很尴尬地递向杨浩。 杨浩忙不迭跳下马来，双手接过瓶儿来，心中也觉奇怪：“别人都是用碗，怎么给我弄了个瓶儿？莫非为了以示与士卒们的区别？” 人群中，唐焰焰小脸绯红，双眼放光，攥紧了双拳，紧紧地盯着杨浩捧着瓶儿的双手，禁不住娇躯直颤，心中的小恶魔娇声呐喊道：“喝！喝！喝！”
Dongyang Village is the residence of the Qiang Dongyang Clan in Hengshan, with a radius of ten miles and eight hundred clan tents. It is not the largest among the Qiang tribes in Hengshan, but its strength should not be underestimated.In the battles among the tribes, the Dongyang Clan rarely suffered losses, and no one dared to mention that the army went straight to Dongyang Village to destroy a tribe with more than a thousand young and strong warriors, and hundreds of Hengshan Qiang tribes, large and small. Among them, only Ye Li could afford such consumption. Apart from its own tent of 800 clans, Dongyang Village also gathered refugees from various tribes, large and small, who had fled from various places. There were also many warriors among them, and it would not be difficult to gather a thousand warriors.Rimai Tenzin, the headman of Dongyang Village, was very happy about this situation.Those clansmen who fled, their original tribes and villages were completely razed. From now on, they can only rely on the Dongyang clan.As a result, the Dongyang family will benefit from the first-class Great Fortress, and his status will also rise.This kind of wealth is a hundred times greater than the wealth his clansman looted from Luling Prefecture. However, his joy only lasted for a few days. This morning, just as he woke up, he received a message: Dongyang Village was surrounded.Full of doubts, Rimai Tenzin boarded the watchtower of the Baozhai, only to find that the people surrounding Dongyangzhai turned out to be Han Chinese troops from Luling Prefecture. Rimai Tenzin, the headman, was furious, and immediately ordered people to blow the horn, summon the warriors, and go out of the city to fight the enemy. He would never allow others to invade and challenge his authority. A mere thousand Han cavalry dared to invade the door , to challenge the Qiang warriors who have lived on horseback since childhood and are twice as big as him? But after the First World War, he discovered to his astonishment that the thousand knights from Luling Prefecture were far more proficient in riding and shooting than them. After all, compared with the large grassland tribes that live by water and grass, they are not as proficient in bowing horses, but these thousand knights are braver than the most warrior tribes on the grassland. You must know that Li Guangcen has been living on the Turpan grassland these years, with dozens of personal attendants, and has grown from scratch step by step.Although there were occasional wars among the Qiang tribes on the Xiazhou Grassland, the general territory was relatively stable, and life-and-death wars rarely occurred between them.However, Li Guangcen's tribe is different. They want to escape from the Xiazhou Tuoba clan and compete with the Turpan people for grassland and water sources. They don't grow up on horseback all their lives, but fight on horseback all their lives. In the harsh environment, instead of being wiped out or annexed, they gradually grew stronger. How brave should those tribesmen be? But it is precisely because this kind of life is too difficult that the tribe lives under the shadow of war all day long, and as they grow stronger, it gradually arouses the vigilance of the Tupan tribe, so Li Guangcen knows that the future is numbered, and the tribe When there is a lack of a wise and courageous leader in the country, they do everything possible to find a way out for these tribesmen and arrange a stable life. The fighting power of these knights is naturally superior to the knights that the Dongyang clan is proud of.But despite this, Dongyang Village occupies a favorable location and has twice as many soldiers as the incoming enemy, Rimai Tenzin is fearless, he came out with all his strength, intending to defeat all the incoming enemy in one battle.Unexpectedly, two thousand fine cavalry escaped from hiding, and the future Han army was forced to retreat. When they were about to take advantage of the victory and pursue them, two cavalrymen, as brave as the enemy in front, descended from the sky and came from the left and right flanks. If the people of Rima Tenzin hadn't seen the opportunity quickly and immediately retreated to protect the big man, even he, the big man, would have died under the sudden rain of arrows from the two fine cavalry.Three thousand against two thousand, and the combat power of individual soldiers is far superior to theirs, and it is because they are prepared and unprepared, how can this battle be fought?The number of knights who returned to Dongyang Village alive was less than 700. Such cruel strangulation completely destroyed Dongyang Village's courage to fight in just one battle. The clansmen who lost their sons, husbands, and fathers burst into tears. For the first time, he began to face up to these opponents, and a kind of fear arose from the bottom of his heart. He sent nearly a hundred of his trusted clansmen, led by his eldest son Tashi himself, to break out at night and beg for help from two nearby big tribes.These lush pastures are the foundation of the Dongyang clan. He is really reluctant to part with them, but he is no longer able to resist these god-like Han people. If reinforcements cannot be obtained, the Dongyang clan may be wiped out from Hengshan Twenty years later, no one remembers that there was a Dongyang village here, and there was a group of Dongyang people. When Tashi came back, nearly a hundred warriors went in and out, and only five came back alive.His son, Tashi, a brave Dongyang warrior, broke his arm, went blind, and returned to the village like a bloody man, but what he brought him was news that made him even more desperate: the two great tribes were standing still , do nothing to help.Even when Tashi took the initiative and gave up four lands, which is almost the condition of the entire Dongyang Clan's grassland, they still remained unmoved. Rimai Tenzin was dumbfounded, he just sat back on the tiger-skin chair, listening to the sound of fighting outside the fortress, he no longer knew how to solve the predicament in front of him.The Han army is making those siege weapons that the grassland tribes are not good at. Dongyang Village does not have deep and high walls like the Han people. It does not need too huge siege vehicles and ladders to attack. Tonight, he can still hold it. What about tomorrow?But now even the old and the weak, women and children come in handy. "Father, I saw the messenger of the Yeli clan in the Qifeng clan. Could it be that the Yeli clan was behind it? Only the Yeli clan can coerce their two tribes to refuse to lend a helping hand to us." Tashi, who was covered in blood, looked shocking, but he didn't wrap up, and roared loudly with blood all over his face. Rimai Tenzin looked at his son with dull eyes, and said in a low voice: "Yeli clan? Our people have no grievances with Yeli clan. Why do they help the Han people? If Yeli clan wants to attack us, why do we need to use false hands?" Others?" Tashi was speechless. After pondering for a while, Rimai Tenzin raised his head and said in a painful tone: "We... offer the village to beg for surrender..." "What?" Tashi was furious: "Father, we can't surrender. Once we surrender, can we still hold our heads up and call ourselves heroes? All the tribes in Hengshan will look down on us, we can't surrender, and we swear to the death! " Rima Tenzin was not as thoughtless as his son, and he replied bitterly: "If you don't surrender, maybe it suits them. Now they have made it clear that they want to wipe out my Dongyang family. My son, the situation is compelling ..." On the side, Zha Ketel, the leader of the Mo family who came to join him, rolled his eyes and stepped forward and said, "Master Dan Zeng, I have an idea..." "Huh?" Rimai Tenzin turned his head to look at him with a gray face, and Zhaketer's eyes narrowed slightly, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes, and said: "Let's...surrender!"
Bisu said with a smile on his face: "Master Zhaketer, our Lord Yang Hao actually does not want to meet with the Qiangs in Hengshan. To tell you the truth, there are already some Qiang tribes who have joined our lord, and our lord treats them But You Rong treats everyone equally. You not only attract people to surrender, but also help us to cheat and open the fortress. I will appoint you as an official who will be in charge, and when the time comes, when I see you, I will also respectfully call you my lord." "Don't dare, Mr. Bi is polite." Zha Ketel said with a smile: "Under the might of the heavenly soldiers, Zha Ketel only wants to protect his own people, this official dare not think about it." He looked back worriedly, and said doubtfully: "Lord Bi, it's already getting late. I'll take you to the Zhaizhai Gate at this time, under the cover of night, don't you just ambush the left and near to attack the village? The one I chose The place is very close to the west gate, and the surrounding area is full of forests, so it is very easy to ambush, why... you want me to bring everyone here instead." Bi Su laughed and said: "Don't you understand this? Actually, I don't understand either. Our adults say that in the early morning is when a person is most sleepy. Wait for the dawn to cheat the door. Let's take This Dongyang Village is even easier. You rest in this valley first, our Master Mu has prepared a lot of wine and meat for you to eat, and rest until the dawn is about to dawn, and then we will move." "Okay, okay, General Mu is really smart, really smart..." Zha Ketel looked back at his two hundred people, secretly anxious in his heart, in the dense forest outside the west gate, many archers had already secretly ambushed, waiting He lured these Han people to defraud the stronghold, and when the time comes, he will strike suddenly. With their archery skills, they can definitely win more with less and kill most of the Han people who have not yet entered the stronghold.At that time, the gate of the village will be closed, and the dense arrow nets in the village will be enough to kill all the Han people who enter the village. At that time, the situation between the enemy and ourselves will inevitably be reversed. It seems that I have to find an opportunity in a while and send someone back to deliver a letter. Zacktel was thinking about it, when Bisu suddenly held his stomach and said, "Oh, I'm a little anxious, you guys wait a minute, I'll go to the side for convenience." "Okay, Mr. Bi, please." Zha Ketel was overjoyed, and quickly agreed, and when Bisu got into the grass, he immediately waved to call someone, and hurriedly said: "Sneak into the grass and hide in a while. Let's move on, you can go back and tell Master Danjar that the Han people will go to the city in the early morning, and tell him to be careful." "Yes." The man stroked his chest and gave a salute, then burrowed into the grass on the other side. Zhaketel smiled and turned his head, looking at Bisu who was squatting in the grass. After a long time, he suddenly felt a surge of emotion. A warning sign suddenly raised.He cried out uneasily: "Master Bi, Master Bi?" Bisu squatted there motionless, Zha Ketel's expression changed, and he walked over quickly, and when he got closer, he couldn't help but change his expression. There was only one piece of clothing hanging on the wormwood half the height of a person. The handsome Mr. Bi has long since disappeared. "Not good, spread out quickly, fall down, and prepare to retreat!" Zha Ketel issued several orders in a row, and the clansmen looked at a loss when they heard it. At this moment, dozens of people suddenly appeared from behind the trees on the grassy slope more than 20 feet away from the left, each with their bows and arrows. , staring at them fiercely with big eyes, making gestures to shoot arrows. Immediately afterwards, on the right, front, and rear, countless Han soldiers held bows and arrows, and surrounded them in a dense formation in the grass and dense forest. A big man with furious tiger eyes and bearded cheeks appeared at Taniguchi with a machete, and roared like thunder with his tongue: "You rats, how dare you feign surrender and kill without mercy!" Zha Ketel recognized this person as Mu Kui, the general next to the Mutuan envoy, and shouted anxiously: "Wait a minute, general, we sincerely want to serve Master Yang Hao, the general can't kill us." Mukui looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Zha Ketel, do you think we are all Han Chinese, and we only wear this clothes to cover people's eyes and eyes and make it easier to move along the way? Hahaha..., your tricks can be deceived by others, and you can't hide it from others. How could it be possible to hide it from me?" He pointed his knife forward and shouted: "I, the Qiang people, have important matters concerning the signing of an alliance. Why don't you swear to the Great God Baishi? Since you have come to surrender, why don't you dare to mention the Great God Baishi? My Qiang tribe, the family There are many people without knives, but there is no family without bows and arrows. Why do you all wear scimitars for melee combat, but there are very few bows and arrows? Since you came to the city at night, no one can take care of others. Why do you All the people brought here are strong and strong men, without a family member, and none of them seem to worry about their family?" "I..." Zha Ketel was still waiting to defend himself, but Mu Kui had already shouted, "Kill!" A soldier loosened his fingers, and a wolf-toothed arrow shot out in response to the string. The arrow was like a shooting star. At a distance of ten or twenty feet, the string sounded. Ketel fell on his back, and the sky was dark for a while, only the arrows screamed in his ears, screaming everywhere, those dead soldiers with swords had no chance to rush to the surrounded archers, and fell to the ground one after another. In a short time, there was no one standing whole on the ground in the valley, and the archers around did not say a word, and silently put their bows back on their shoulders. Slowly pull out the knife from the waist, and walk forward step by step. When seeing someone who is still panting, he makes up the knife like killing a chicken, or cuts the throat, or pierces the chest. It is very neat, that kind of cold-blooded, calm, Seeing the cold expression, Bisu, who was squatting on a big pine tree, couldn't help but change color. Mu Kui's loud voice shook the roof tiles again: "Leave a group of people to clean up the battlefield, and the rest follow me to the west gate of Dongyang Village. The Dongyang clan's ambush troops must have been blocked outside the gate... ..."
The most powerful Dongyang clan within hundreds of miles was wiped out. When Yang Hao arrived, all the men in the village who were taller than the wheels had been beheaded by Mu En. Mu En is a loving father in front of his daughter, a generous elder in front of his clan, and a loyal servant in front of Li Guangcen and Yang Hao, but in front of the enemy, he is like a god of killing. made of iron.The desperate life on the grassland has tempered his special character. Every warrior in the tribe seems to be the same as him, just like a wolf. . On the contrary, the "Wolf King" Yang Hao, who they bowed their heads to obey and willingly pledged their allegiance to, showed a trace of unbearable color in his eyes.Yang Hao was able to calmly make correct judgments when strategizing, and he was able to analyze right and wrong, big benevolence and small benevolence in front of Tang Yanyan, but he still lacked enough training on the battlefield. When he witnessed the bloody scene with his own eyes, It is impossible not to be affected by emotions. But he didn't say anything. What Muen did was in line with the principle of grassland survival: the strong prey on the weak. Since you want to create an enemy, you must deal with the punishment you will receive if you fail. If Yang Hao is a loser, his The end game will not be half a point better than his opponent, so he can only follow this principle and adapt to this principle, instead of foolishly speaking benevolence to wolves and sending his own people into the fire pit. All the utensils and wealth in Rimai Tenzin's big house have been emptied, and there are some fire starters left in the house. This place will be razed to the ground, and the entire Dongyang Village will be turned into ruins. Everyone who passed by here remembered what happened here, and they all remembered the punishment they might suffer if they offended Luling Prefecture. Yang Hao came out of Rimai Tenzin's big house, and said to Mu En, who was walking half a step behind him: "Let Mu Kui escort the women and children back first, and you and Bi Su stay, and accompany me to Qi Feng's, The Mohu tribe went there once, and this time they attacked the Dongyang tribe, they stood still and did not provide assistance. Although it was because of the Yeli tribe's threat, it can be regarded as my Luling prefecture's acceptance of them. Use both kindness and power, use both kindness and power, this power has been used, now it is time to use kindness, but my kindness is not used on our opponents who have lost us, but on those who have not yet fought against us on the tribe.These two tribes are not small, so I will bring some gifts to visit, and invite them and the big leaders of the various Qiang tribes in Hengshan to gather in the Yeli clan, imitate the story of the alliance with the Dangxiang Qi clan, and build relationships with them. " Seeing Mu En's surprised expression, Yang Hao smiled and said: "Hehe, of course, with these tribes, large and small, dotted all over the Hengshan Mountains, it is impossible to establish any alliance and elect any co-lord. The deal keeps them in check, their interests are integrated, and their anger will disappear, at least they must stand by our side. At present, as long as we can keep them from causing trouble for us, we will achieve our goal." Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped and looked at some people guarded by soldiers under the long wooden corridor next to him. These people were men and women, old and young. People from the Dongyang clan, these people looked ragged and disheveled, like a group of refugees.Yang Hao's strange thing is that the entire Dongyang village is full of dead bodies, and all the Dongyang men who are taller than the wheels of the carts are all buried, but there are many adult men in this corridor. Seeing him staring at those people, Mu En hurriedly explained: "My lord, these people are not from the Dongyang clan, they are captives who were captured by other tribes when they fought against the Dongyang clan, and became slaves of the Dongyang people. hard labor." "Oh?" Yang Hao's eyes moved slightly, and he raised his voice and said: "Tell people to retreat, don't treat them as slaves, since the members of the Dongyang clan are captured by you, you can assign them as slaves according to your rules. But they are different, these people also want to move to Luling Prefecture, but they have to be civilians, and the state government will resettle their lives." There was a puzzled look in Mu En's eyes, but he still carried out his order to the letter. He waved his hand to make the soldiers with swords and bows retreat, and loudly announced Yang Hao's order to them. Those expressions The dumb slaves were surprised and happy when they heard this, and after a moment of commotion, they knelt down to Yang Hao, worshiped Yang Hao, and muttered something in their mouths. Yang Hao had a lot of contacts with the Qiang people, although he couldn't understand what they were talking about , I also know that it means praise and blessing. Kneeling in front of his feet was a man of unusually tall stature and huge bones. He was nearly two heads taller than others out of thin air. Naturally, he attracted special attention. Yang Hao couldn't help but look at him twice. At five or six, the figure is still strong and burly, but there are traces of gray at the temples, and the dark face is full of bumps and pits, which seems to be a little pockmarked. This person also knelt down and kowtowed like others, but his eyes secretly glanced at Yang Hao. When the two eyes met, the person couldn't help being startled, and suddenly panicked, and he didn't dare to look up again.Yang Hao smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to thank me. This world is under the Great Song Dynasty. No matter you are Han or Qiang people, you are all citizens of the Great Song Dynasty. Like the Dongyang family, they are stubborn and lawless, and they work for the people and secretly for the bandits. Yes, this official will punish you severely. As long as you follow the rules and abide by the king's law, this official will never make things difficult for you. Get up." After finishing speaking, Yang Hao smiled all over his face and leaned over to help the burly man up.Although this big man is tall and big, he is not as domineering as Muen Mukui. He looks very simple and honest. Yang Hao went to help him himself, which surprised him. After standing up, he muttered for a while, as if he wanted to express his gratitude He expressed his respect, but he didn't say a word for a long while. Yang Hao patted his hand and comforted him: "You don't have to be restrained, this Dongyang village will soon cease to exist, and I will take you to Luling Prefecture. Once there, you will no longer be slaves. Herding, hunting, grazing, fishing, or doing other livelihoods, I will definitely arrange for you properly." This man's hands are full of thick calluses, the hard calluses on the mouth of the tiger and the roots of the fingers are piled up high, and the palms and fingertips are thick skin like pads. I don't know what kind of work he usually does. Hearing Yang Hao's words , he would only nod his head vigorously to show his obedience, Yang Hao smiled kindly at him, then turned and walked away. "My lord, it's only natural for a prisoner of a prisoner to be a slave. Your lord doesn't need to be so polite to them." Mu En said to Yang Hao when he left the place like the stable. "They are all Qiang people who have lived in Hengshan for a long time. If Luling Prefecture wants to gain a foothold here, it has to deal with the local people. The contacts between the government and the leaders of the tribes are just a passing cloud. Only the people get along with each other. It is fundamental. It takes a lot of time to communicate closely with other ethnic groups, and through these people, communication will be much faster." Mu En thought for a while, and if he realized something, he said: "What your lord said is true." At this moment, Tianjiu ran over in a hurry and shouted: "Father, I found some bitter gourd seeds, took them back and planted them, and next summer there will be bitter gourds to eat." Yang Hao looked at the palm of her hand, and it was clearly watermelon seeds. He recalled that when he was in Ding’s house, he had seen all kinds of seasonal melons and fruits, but he had never seen watermelon, and there was no memory of watermelon in Ding Hao’s memory. This thing is not popular in the Central Plains yet.Destiny, it's really amazing, if I saw this watermelon seed when I first came to this world with nothing, what would I be like today?Maybe you are planting watermelons somewhere in the Central Plains, and you want to be a melon farmer to grow melons and sell them? Yang Hao thought it was funny, but Mu En didn't look at the melon seeds, and said with a straight face: "It's not big or small, in front of adults, I don't know how to be polite." Tianjiu sticks out her tongue, she can't see anyone around, so she strokes Yang Hao's chest and salutes, "Tianjiu has seen the young master." Seeing her perfunctory attitude, Mu En shook his head helplessly, and asked, "Have you ever caught those who escaped?" Tianjiu shook his head and said: "No, they are too familiar with this place. They turned left and right in the woods, and then they disappeared. We only caught one injured and fell behind, and more than 20 people escaped. One of them was Rima Tenzin's son Tashi, but he has broken his arm and is blind in one eye, so he can't afford to make troubles." After hearing this, Yang Hao asked: "Why, there are still fish that slipped through the net?" Mu En said: "Yes, because Tashi was injured, he neither set up an ambush outside nor in the front village, but stayed in the back village to rest. After we attacked the village, he knew that there was nothing he could do, so he gathered some subordinates to escape went." Tianjiu scrambled and said, "It doesn't matter if there are ten or twenty people who escaped." Mu En interrupted and said: "To cut the weeds, we must get rid of the roots. In the past, your father and I protected the Lord and fled to the Turpan people's territory. Didn't we have today's three thousand elite cavalry? Don't be careless." Yang Hao nodded, and said slowly: "Continue to inquire about their whereabouts, especially...to see if any tribe is willing to take him in..." Mu En's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, my lord, this subordinate understands."
The two heads of the Qifeng clan and the Mohu clan were very polite to Yang Hao, a poor and white Han prefect. As the two powerful tribes near the Hengshan Mountains, although they did not belong to each other with the Yeli clan, the largest tribe in Hengshan, they were mutually exclusive. The relationship between them is still very close. When the Ye Li clan solemnly sent a messenger to warn them to stay out of the matter and never to participate in the war between Luling Prefecture and the tribes that plundered Luling Prefecture, they realized that something was wrong.Originally, their clansmen were jealous when they saw other clans looting, and they were a little ready to move, but they were immediately stopped by the heads of the two clans. Sure enough, the Han people launched a counterattack with unprecedented reaction speed and unprecedented retaliation methods. The blows followed one after another, which was dizzying.Now when they saw Yang Hao, the magistrate of Luzhou with a smile on his face and always in a good mood, the two big bosses felt awe of him from the bottom of their hearts. What the grassland respects is absolute strength. The Ye Li clan can exert influence on them and prevent some of their actions, but they can't make them feel awe of a person. This awe can only come from the person's own actions.Yang Hao now has this capital. They readily agreed to Yang Hao's invitation.If the invitation was held in Luling Prefecture, they would really be a little worried, but if it was held in the No. 1 Qiangyeli clan in Hengshan, they would not have to worry about safety issues.The two agreed to attend the meeting and informed the leaders of other ministries on their behalf. The attitude of cooperation is very obvious. Yang Hao came here to urge these two big bosses, and through them, contact more bosses and express his goodwill.There is no senseless war, and the war must serve its political and economic goals. This war itself has achieved the result he wanted, and has captured a large amount of wealth and people. Now he is using this result to further expand its influence and seek Time for more political and economic interests.Now that he had achieved his goal, Yang Hao bid farewell to the two leaders, and rushed back to Luling Prefecture with Bisu, Mu En and others and nearly a thousand guards. On the way back, when the flag with the word "Yang" hit it, it really had the air of "the grandpa is here, and the gods avoid it". Even an illiterate person can already recognize the flag with the word "Yang". At the boundary of Luling Prefecture, if you go around a mountain bend in front, you will reach the mouth of the Luhe Valley. On the left are sloping trees and rocky mountain walls, and on the right are endless grasslands. The front view is limited. At the end of the mountain road, you have to stretch to the left to see the terrain in front of the valley.The mountain wall is extended in waves, so the team at the foot of the mountain is also moving forward in a snake.The leading guards had already reached the turning point, and they were reining in their horses to look back. At this moment, a sudden change occurred, and a few people suddenly stood up on the rock wall, and shot at the team with bows and arrows. Yang Hao was in a hurry when he left, and he was in a relaxed mood when he returned, so he couldn't help looking left and right, looking at the scenery. Fortunately, he was looking around, and he had already noticed these people as soon as they appeared. He was surrounded by soldiers on tall horses. He was well protected, and the range of the attack was much smaller. Those people were hidden on the mountain wall, and they only dared to peek occasionally to estimate his approximate position. When they stood up hastily, they couldn't shoot accurately. Only two arrows hit the target. He approached, but was pushed away by Yang Hao's divine sword. "Protect your lord!" A few guards squeezed in front of Yang Hao, quickly took off a few leather shields, and firmly protected the top of his head, causing the team to be in chaos.A big man emerged from the cliff, with a knife in his mouth, he propped himself up on the rock wall with one arm, and jumped down. He rolled and crawled on the sloping rock wall of six or seven feet, and the scars all over his body appeared in an instant. He took the scimitar from his mouth and rushed towards Yang Hao's place.This person has one arm and one eye, it is the Tashi who escaped. Other assassins also jumped down from the mountains one after another, rushing towards Yang Hao without fear of death. "Get out of the way!" Yang Hao pushed away the shield protecting the roof, got off his horse, and faced the one-armed swordsman Tashi with his sword.Swordsmanship is swordsmanship, no matter how beautiful it is, it is still used to kill people, and one must hone one's swordsmanship, which can only be improved in battle. Stabbing the sword at one arm, he rushed at the two guards like a mad tiger. With one swing of the scimitar, he cut off the two horse's legs. When the horse neighed, he stepped on the horse's head, Has jumped to Yang Hao. Seeing the assassin, Mu En raised his bow without even thinking about it, and swung the bow left and right, sharp arrows flew out continuously, the sound of strings blared wildly, and the whistling sound of the arrows made one's scalp tense.Before those assassins jumped to the ground, six or seven people were shot to death on the rock wall, and only ten or twenty people who jumped down were quickly submerged in the sea of people. Yang Hao let out a low cry, the sword light spit out suddenly, and a sword rainbow rose up, knocked away Tashi's scimitar with a "Zheng", raised the sword, and pointed it towards his throat.At this time, another assassin also rushed forward, Yang Hao turned his sword around, and only heard a "chi" sound, and the sword had penetrated into the assassin's heart.At the same time, Bisu's knife pierced the assassin's lower abdomen from the flank. Tashi was forced to retreat by Yang Hao's sword, staggered a few steps, his eyes were red, and he rushed like a madman. At this moment, he was slashed and stabbed twice by the brave warriors around Yang Hao. His attack has no power, but the bloody appearance, the cruelty that will kill Yang Hao seems shocking. Yang Hao moved his sword like flying, he drew his sword sideways, straightened his neck, still very elegant and unrestrained. Imminent, will also be very elegant. This sword stabbed to Tashi's chest, but Tashi didn't block it, instead, he rushed forward at a faster speed. It seemed that he was fighting to the death, and he was going to die with Yang Hao. Yang Hao was shocked, never expected He actually played like this.This was because he was inexperienced in battle, so he wanted to retreat immediately, but at this moment, Zha Xiang suddenly retreated. With the heart of death, he charged with all his strength, but he was able to stop and retreat in time?Yang Hao held his chest with a horizontal sword, protecting his vitals, and looked intently, but saw two scratching hooks protruding from the crowd, hooking Tashi's two thighs respectively, the hook blades penetrated into the muscles, dragging him like a dog to death went back. "and……" Before the word "slow" was uttered, five or six machetes fell on Tashi, chopping him into a human shape.Yang Hao rubbed his nose and shook his head secretly: "These guys are usually docile like sheep in front of me, but they are killing people too fast." The remnants of the Dongyang clan who were assassinating were surrounded by those brave warriors, like seven or eight lions devouring an antelope, their bodies were torn apart in a short time.Mu En rushed to Yang Hao, panicked and said: "Your Majesty is frightened because of your dereliction of duty." "It's okay, no one can do it seamlessly. I'm very satisfied with your ability to adapt." Yang Hao smiled. He was not afraid of these people's attack, but he was afraid of their escape.Since they are desperate, there is nothing to fear.So far, the Dongyang family has really been obliterated by him to the last trace. At Taniguchi, the common people and the merchants who stayed in the Luling Valley and dare not go out are eagerly looking forward to the return of the magistrate.The Luling Prefecture army's counterattack made them elated. If these people's hearts were for Yang Hao, it was only for his kindness, but now they are determined and willing to sacrifice their lives for him.In their eyes, Yang Hao is not only their parents' official, but also the real pillar and backbone of each of their families. They will no longer question any of Yang Hao's orders, and they believe that everything Yang Hao does is for the sake of They are good. Yang Hao's team appeared at Taniguchi. Seeing the cheering crowd in Taniguchi, Yang Hao smiled slightly and said: "I'll tell you, don't let your word out about the attack at this time, so as not to spoil the scenery." Waiting for Mu Enyi After conveying the order, Yang Hao raised the reins and said: "Let's go, the common people are welcoming me and you, the support and gratitude of the common people are bought by every warrior with their blood and lives, so cheer up , accept the welcome of the people!" "My lord, my lord!" Li Yuchang stopped in front of the horse, a little embarrassed in his heart: "Little girl, let me represent the merchants to toast your lord to thank you. Why...why do you insist on me using this bottle? Although this bottle is not very big, it can at least hold a catty of wine, so why is it that Yang Futai will pour him down as soon as he enters the valley?" This wine is a real old wine, which was originally reserved by Li Yuchang for his usual drinking. Just now, he saw Tang Yanyan holding a jar and pouring a bottle full, and he even urged him to persuade him. The more Yang Hao drank, the better. Li Yuchang was puzzled, but he had no choice but to agree. "My lord, in order to keep our Luling prefecture peaceful and the people of our Luling prefecture safe and secure, he personally led the army to go out to encircle and suppress bandits. He has worked hard and made great achievements. This old man was recommended by the people and merchants to express his gratitude to his lord and to all the soldiers! " 李玉昌把手一挥，百姓和商贾们便一拥而上，向一个个战士递出碗去，又倒上美酒，李玉昌则老脸微赧地捧起那只比观世音的柳枝净玉瓶儿大不了多少的瓶儿，很尴尬地递向杨浩。 杨浩忙不迭跳下马来，双手接过瓶儿来，心中也觉奇怪：“别人都是用碗，怎么给我弄了个瓶儿？莫非为了以示与士卒们的区别？” 人群中，唐焰焰小脸绯红，双眼放光，攥紧了双拳，紧紧地盯着杨浩捧着瓶儿的双手，禁不住娇躯直颤，心中的小恶魔娇声呐喊道：“喝！喝！喝！”
