Daliang City.
In the garrison mansion, Huang Tianhe, the new garrison who was just sent by the imperial court to garrison Daliang City, looked at the letter in his hand and didn't know what to say.
When he turned to look at his colleagues who had also been transferred not long ago, he asked, "Have you all read the letter from Yunzhou County?"
Everyone nodded in unison.
"What do you think?"
Huang Tianhe asked.
Everyone looked at each other, and then they all raised their hands and said, "It all depends on the guard!"
Huang Tianhe suddenly gritted his teeth, thinking that he wanted to put all the blame on himself!
Dang Ji said: "I am not that kind of arbitrary person. Since the imperial court has transferred everyone here, the defense of Daliang City in the future will definitely require everyone to cooperate with each other to defend this frontier for the imperial court.
Therefore, I still feel that it is better for everyone to decide this matter together! "
Huang Tianhe's words were beautiful, but he still couldn't get rid of the fact that he had pushed the pot again.
What he meant was very clear. Everyone was just transferred here, so why should I bear the burden alone? Everyone has to bear it together, otherwise I won’t bear it, and I won’t accept it if it’s beneficial!
Everyone looked at each other again, scolding the old fox in their hearts, but then the deputy guard Li Zhong stepped forward and said with a smile: "General, we have just arrived in Daliang City, and our footing is not stable.
If we can send some good news to the court at this time, we will definitely be able to gain more support from the court.
Besides, there is another problem. Since King Yun can deliver messages to us, he must also deliver them to other garrison locations.
If the other guards agreed in the end, but we didn't, they would have the heads of the Huns and report their merits to the court, and their weight in the eyes of the court would suddenly increase.
And we will be seen as incompetent.
As for exposing them, it's even more impossible. There are too many people who can easily be offended.
So we actually don’t have many options to choose from. "
Huang Tianhe nodded and said: "This is exactly what I am worried about. Although I also have the courage and ability to independently obtain the head of the Xiongnu, I must not be able to compare with King Yun.
If the court regards him as incompetent because of this, it will not be a good thing for me or for you. "
Huang Tianhe was talking eloquently here, while everyone else was secretly pouting.
Who among you doesn’t know who still has courage and ability?
If so, why didn't you come out during the Huns' invasion before?
It's one thing to brag, everyone can brag, but don't believe it yourself!
"So, after much thought, I have decided that we in Daliang City will buy Xiongnu heads, and the number of purchases cannot lag behind other cities, so as to avoid being punished by His Majesty! Please urge Yunzhou County as soon as possible and let them give away the heads as soon as possible. come on."
"promise!"
In the end, Daliang City became the first city to respond, and other cities were also performing almost the same scene.
But with little difference, in the end, the generals of many border cities agreed to the deal.
Therefore, Zhao Jun, who received the reply from the military leaders, immediately sent a letter to the Tatar tribes.
We also collect Xiongnu heads, but the price is not high. One Xiongnu head is only worth five taels of silver!
In fact, the price given by the military leaders was twelve Hun heads.
But Zhao Jun always has to charge some handling fees as an intermediary, so he already felt very conscientious after charging only five taels more.
When the tribe of the Tatar United Bounty Group learned that the price of a Huns head was only one-tenth of that of the Song people, they were silent for a while, but finally agreed.
We have to fight the Huns anyway, so making a little more money is an unexpected blessing, so I won’t force that much.
The transaction was approved by all three parties, and the Huns were completely reduced to the embodiment of silver in the eyes of the Tatar bounty group.
…
On the vast white grassland.
The weather has been rare recently. Although it snows from time to time, the snow is not heavy.
One of the Hun patrols happened to be on duty.
The leader of the team is Amati, the captain of ten thousand men from the Zuoxianwang tribe.
Early in the morning, Amati, who took over the patrol mission from the previous team, patrolled the border with his team. Among the three leaders of the patrol team, he was the one who hated the Tatars the most.
Because of the huge Zuoxianwang tribe, some people occasionally leave the tribe to live alone, but most of them are close to the tribe and will return to the tribe immediately if something happens.
This is the case with Amati's family. The Amati family has always been a family of generals under King Zuoxian. They have produced many ten thousand generals, so the population is also large, so they slowly became the previous one. One of the families who lives outside the gathering group.
Some time ago, as large troops entered the customs, many Song people were robbed and used as slaves in the Song Dynasty.
Everything was fine originally, and with the plunder in the Song Kingdom, they would live an unusually comfortable life this winter.
It’s just that no one expected that so many Tatars suddenly appeared in the eastern Huns grassland, burning, killing and looting!
Unfortunately, their family was targeted like this!
When Amati got the news and rushed back, he only saw corpses and dilapidated scenes on the ground.
When the news came from the royal court that a patrol team was to be formed, he immediately volunteered to participate.
He is not here for prevention, he is here for revenge!
As long as he sees the Tatars, he doesn't care whether these Tatars are here to plunder, as long as they appear on the Xiongnu grassland and appear in front of him, he will kill them all!
These days, he has fulfilled his determination with actions!
There were not even a thousand but eight hundred bounty hunters who died in his hands. They were all executed by him in the most cruel way!
And because of this, he became the first target targeted by the bounty group!
Somewhere in the snow.
"Shh! Everyone, be quiet! People are coming soon. If anyone causes us to waste all our efforts and let people run away, don't blame us for deducting money at that time!"
"The many Tatars who were noisy just now became honest immediately when they heard that the money was being deducted."
Gerile Jiamu was relieved when he saw that they had become more honest, and turned his attention to the horizon again.
They had been preparing for this ambush for a long time, and they had clearly investigated all of Amati's recent action routes and behavioral habits, and then formulated a plan to ambush them here.
It can be said that as long as there are no accidents, there will be no surprises in taking down Amati!
They waited quietly like this for about half an hour, just as the members of the ambushing bounty group were getting impatient.
The figures they had dreamed of finally appeared on the distant horizon!
Those were figures of Huns. However, in the eyes of the Tatar bounty group, how could they be Huns? ?
These are clearly walking gold and silver ingots!
If you grab it, you’ll earn it!
"Everyone be quiet and listen to my orders!"
Gerile Jiamu shouted softly, and everyone held their breath and waited quietly.
Seeing the Huns troops getting closer and closer, Amati, who was famous among the Tatars during this period, took the lead and rushed to the front.
Gerile Jiamu swallowed nervously subconsciously.
But he still forcibly held back, and waited until the large army led by Amati had completely entered the ambush circle, and then suddenly shouted:
"kill!"
"Kill!!!"
This is his order!
The surrounding grassland immediately resounded with a sound of response, and the trip ropes were pulled up from all directions. The charging Hun cavalry faced the sudden appearance of the trip ropes, and they were caught off guard and immediately flipped up!
The moment they fell from their horses, the Tatars surrounded them from all directions with knives, and in an instant they chopped the fallen Huns into bloody pieces!
ambush! success!
