"Spare your life!"
"General, spare your life!"
Four hundred and fifty people surrounded nearly 7,000 prairie people. Although there were few people, the prairie people remained silent.
On the cross-country horse, Zhang Qi took off the green-faced ghost armor on his face, revealing a handsome face.
With a wave of his hand, all the sergeants except the armored cavalry drew their long bows, causing the kneeling prairie people to continuously beg for mercy.
Hu Shui and the others have not come over and are far away from Zhang Qi. He is still leading You Yi to search for the prairie people who may be hiding.
Even after confirming that there were no more grassland people fleeing westward, he did not go over. Instead, he called out and asked all the You Yi soldiers to pierce their leather armor and escape with blood.
The role of You Yijun is to lead the grassland people to conquer the border. Before their lord is satisfied, the grassland people must continue to conquer the border!
Zhang Qi looked around, nodded with satisfaction, rode his horse around all the kneeling prairie people, and shouted: "Untie the Han prisoners around you!"
People in the grassland all follow it.
Now that they are off their horses, they are already lambs waiting to be slaughtered. They can only obey orders. Moreover, for grassland people, it is natural to obey the strong.
The bewildered Han people stood up one by one. They were also afraid. In their eyes, the grassland people and the Han soldiers were all the same kind of people.
Zhang Qi looked at the Han people still circling around, and shouted while circling: "Tie the hands of the prairie people around you, and remember to tighten it!"
The liberated Han people did not dare to resist, and started to move one after another, using the ropes that had previously bound them to tie the hands of the prairie people around them behind their backs.
If there were not enough ropes, the materials on the horses' backs would be cut and used as ropes.
No one dared to resist, because one or two of them had been pierced by arrows before they could stand up. The previous tragic battlefield had sobered the minds of these prairie people, and they did not want to do it again.
There were almost two to three thousand Han people captured. Under their actions, the seven thousand prairie people were quickly tied up, their horses and weapons gathered. Zhang Qi asked Wang Li to lead the Han people, and even distributed weapons.
The Han people were still stunned, but they all guessed that they and others had been rescued. Their numb hearts were a little shaken, and they accepted Wang Li's mission.
Soon, Zhang Qi and others collected the belongings on the ground, and two thousand Han people escorted seven thousand prairie prisoners to Liaoyang County.
And they were hanging at the end of the line.
Three Hundred Tigers began to take off their armor, and all the chain armor, face armor, and stirrups gathered together. Zhang Qi stepped forward to gather them and bring them back to the world of riding and cutting.
Immediately, they put on leather armor full of blood and holes.
Within a quarter of an hour, they caught up with Wang Li in front and joined the team escorting the prisoners.
Liaoyang County.
On the city wall, the soldiers shouted excitedly: "Mighty!"
"mighty!"
Although they couldn't see it clearly because they were far away, Zhang Qi and the others came from Liaoyang.
When the prairie people arrived, the Liaoyang County Magistrate had already prepared for the loss of his population. However, he did not expect that an army from Xiangping came with the order of the prefect and asked them to arrange for people to escort the prisoners.
The Liaoyang County Magistrate might have been confused before, but now, he understands.
Looking at the tens of thousands of people under the city, the Liaoyang County Magistrate couldn't help but said to the people around him: "I was lucky enough to see General Fei in person before. I thought that General Fei was already the bravest person in the world, but I didn't expect that this person was even more powerful than him. Brave."
A man dressed as a county lieutenant next to him wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Then County Magistrate, shall we open the city gate?"
"Open! According to the prefect's order, this time he beheaded and captured again. This person will be able to rise to prominence from now on. Don't offend him!"
"promise!"
The gates of Liaoyang City opened.
Zhang Qi, who was riding a cross-country horse, moved with the ups and downs of the cross-country horse. He just waved the prefect's order, and all the sergeants around him saluted.
"The general is mighty!"
"mighty!"
"General victory!"
The surrounding Han soldiers were very excited. After serving in the army for so long, this was the first time they saw a victory over the Xiongnu army outside the city.
Moreover, five hundred people hit ten thousand people.
At this moment, Zhang Qi was like a god descending to earth in their eyes.
As the Han people escorting the prisoners listened to the cheers of the Han army, their already numb nerves began to rise and fall at this moment.
Looking at the back of the horse, everyone had the idea in their hearts that a man should be like this.
"Hahaha, this general is truly a god. In this single battle, the general can be the number one in Liaodong!"
The Liaoyang County Magistrate hurriedly came down from the city wall to greet Zhang Qi.
Zhang Qi is also polite.
"Dismount and walk!"
Following his order, all the sergeants acted in unison, and the scene was shocking.
"Tiger Guard! He is truly a Tiger Guard!"
The middle-aged and Confucian magistrate of Liaoyang County's hands were shaking with excitement.
In this era, Confucian scholars were not necessarily followers of Confucianism. Although Liu Che dismissed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, the overall thinking of the Han Dynasty was still open.
Moreover, even Confucianism has great differences in its thinking.
The most famous among them is the Gongyang School. Gongyang was full of Confucianism and martial virtue, and gave birth to the famous figure Wang Mang.
"You're welcome, Magistrate, but I don't know what I told you about the escort before."
After getting off his horse, Zhang Qi also walked to the side of Liaoyang County Cheng. He had told him about this when he came from Xiangping.
As for why the Liaoyang County magistrate must send someone to escort him, of course it is because he must parade around the village after catching a big fish. This is a rare time to accumulate a place's reputation, and Zhang Qilai's purpose is for this.
When he takes over the Liao territory, he will have the fame he has today. Regardless of how powerful he is, his status in the hearts of the people must be high.
"Don't dare to disobey the general's orders."
The Liaoyang County Magistrate was very polite, with a smile on his face: "The general must be exhausted from the bloody battle, so I prepare some drinks, hoping that the general will reward you."
The Liaoyang County Magistrate also wanted to build a good relationship with such a young talent who would definitely take advantage of the situation.
Zhang Qi thanked him politely, but clearly refused: "I was ordered by the prefect to go out to meet the enemy. At this moment, we have a great victory, so we should hurry up and return. The county magistrate is polite. If there is a chance, Qi Ding will visit."
——
Wulu County, the gateway to Liaodong.
More than 10,000 grassland people left here, and Wulu County Magistrate was not only angry but also happy. If only his area was damaged, once the invaders were over, the Liaodong Taipei would surely become a model.
But now it's better. The bandits continue to move eastward, which means that the counties to the east will also be damaged. It's better to have someone to share the pressure than to bear it alone.
Dang Dang Dang——
The rapid knocking sound sounded again, and the county magistrate who had just returned to the county seat stood up suddenly again.
"What's wrong? Didn't the bandits leave?"
"Report! Report to the county magistrate that the bandits have been defeated. There are only less than a thousand people left out of ten thousand, and they are fleeing towards western Liaoning!"
"What!"
Wulu County Magistrate, who had just comforted himself, felt a little thump in his heart.
It’s not like he was really damaged all by himself! !
Sorry for coming late. I could have finished writing earlier, but I was notified at short notice to work overtime. Alas.
