Although they were extremely reluctant, they could only accept the reality. They blamed themselves for being too conceited at the time and not bringing extra food. In the past few days, they had eaten horse meat until they felt like vomiting.
In the end, they exchanged 800 horses for more than 500 prisoners' rations for one month in prison, and for 2,000 of them five days of food.
In fact, he really wants to replace everyone with 1,500 war horses, but what happens after they are replaced? They had no food, and there were not many war horses left. The people inside had been hungry for two days, and they would not have the strength to go back if they were hungry again.
In order to reduce the loss of personnel, he could only endure the pain.
After getting food in exchange, Murong Tu looked back at the tall city wall again. He hates it, but he can't do anything about it. This is a shame in his life. One day he will take revenge.
The crisis was over and everyone cheered. In this war, because of their magical weapons, they won the war at a very small cost.
Now that Xianbei has withdrawn its troops, Cang Qiyuan will lead his people back to Youzhou City, while Cang Dao will lead his soldiers to stay here to replace the personnel of the barrier defenders and repair the city walls and barriers.
Xia Qingfeng decided to stay and stay with her parents for a few more days. After all, her parents were physically and mentally exhausted during this period. She had to help them take good care of themselves before she could leave with peace of mind.
Xia Qingfeng asked Cang Qiyuan to help take care of Xu Xiaoxiao, and asked him to ask Xu Xiaoxiao for the cement formula. After all, cement is the most commonly used building material in modern times, making it easier and faster to build barriers.
In the previous life, concrete was made of cement cemented gravel. After hardening, it not only has high strength, but also can resist the erosion of fresh water or salt water.
Cang Qiyuan held Xia Qingfeng's hand and patiently listened to her instructions before leaving reluctantly.
This time he could no longer use space to travel quickly, so he could only leave Yuyang County on horseback with his guards.
In Youzhou City, Cang Qiang led a team of men and horses directly into the Jucai Gambling House. It was the morning, and there were not many people coming to gamble. Cang Qiang immediately ordered his men to control all the people in the venue and search every room.
People were brought out one after another, but there was no tall woman as the master said. Cang Qiang personally led people upstairs to search. In a room, he saw many women's supplies, cigarettes were still burning, and the tea in the teapot was still warm, but the person was no longer there.
It seemed that she had run away. Cang Qiang hammered the table hard, "Quick, search the whole process immediately. Find a few people who have seen the proprietress in the gambling house, and identify them with the army."
"yes!"
In a small courtyard located in the southeast of Youzhou City, Murong Li hurried back to the courtyard. Li Zhi heard the noise and walked out of the room, "Li'er, what happened?"
"There may be officers and soldiers coming to search in a while. You just say that you are a down-and-out scholar, and just follow what is listed in your household registration." After saying this, she rushed into the room.
Li Zhi guessed that something must have happened, but he couldn't do anything but obey orders. Murong Li walked out of the room in a short time. At this time, she was dressed as a man. Because of her tall stature and three-dimensional facial features, she thickened her eyebrows and painted her face black. She really looked like a northern man.
She took out some banknotes from her arms and handed them to Li Zhi, "I will be away for a while and will be back soon. You open a small school as I said before and wait for me to come back." After that, she turned around and walked out. .
Murong Li is a member of the Xianbei royal family and a fanatical militant. What she admires most is her father and brother, who can kill enemies on the battlefield with a scimitar. Like her father and brother, she had long coveted the large tracts of land and rich products in the Central Plains.
She has been learning the culture and language of the Central Plains since she was a child. When she was 14 years old, she disguised herself and sneaked into the Central Plains. She visited many places in Dayu and fell in love with this land. She vowed to help her father and brother to bring this land to the world. Own the land.
So, she settled down in Youzhou City. She used money and beauty to make many people take advantage of her, and most of the details in Youzhou were planted by her.
Now that his own affairs have been revealed, it seems that someone has failed. She planned to return to Shengle Capital for the time being and then make other plans.
Nowadays, Youzhou City is heavily guarded. It took a lot of effort for her to get out of the city, and it took her more than a month to return to Shengle Capital.
Let's talk about Murong Tu. He finally arrived at the capital city of Shengle with his remaining troops.
The hardships and frustrations of the journey made him lose a lot of weight and look particularly haggard. His mother, Queen Xianbei, felt very distressed when she saw him, "Son! What's wrong with you?"
Murong Tu lowered his head, "Mother and concubine, my son has failed."
"Victory or defeat is a common thing for a soldier. My son can rest assured. All you have to do is beg the Khan for forgiveness and be sincere. Leave the rest to your mother."
Murong Tu said goodbye to his mother and went to the Khan's tent.
Murong Qi had received the news of the prince's defeat and was very angry. It was a great humiliation for so many warriors and horses to stay with Dayu. He was ready to teach his son a lesson.
Outside the tent, Murong Tu took a deep breath before walking into the tent and kneeling directly in front of Murong Qi, "Father, my son deserves to die. He suffered defeat."
Murong Qi, who was sitting at the top, narrowed his eyes and looked at this son. This was the son he had high hopes for. He didn't expect to lose so miserably this time. "Tell me about it."
The majestic voice from above sounded, and Murong Tu organized his words to tell his father the details of the troop dispatch. Especially, when he mentioned that Cang Qiyuan was also in Yuyang City and took out a powerful ball that blew his warriors to pieces, Murong Qi was also shocked into a cold sweat and finished: "You know, then What kind of weapon is it?”
"Little kids don't know, not only that, they also have crossbows that can fire several arrows in a row, and their knives are also very strong. When our scimitars collide with their weapons, our scimitars will often be chopped off."
"Ah! This...this...what should I do?" Murong Qi was shocked on the spot.
"Father, now we can only exchange the horses, cattle and sheep for the lives of the five hundred warriors, and wait for the next year to find another opportunity."
"Alas! That's all it can do."
Half a month later, Ke Zuhunduo drove a group of horses, cattle and sheep to Yuyang City to replace people. When he saw that the brothers who were replaced were all skinny, he became angry and asked the other defenders, "You guys Da Sima, he promised us that he would feed our soldiers."
The soldier also imitated Cang Qiyuan's casual tone and said: "Of course I'll give you food, otherwise we would have starved to death after so long. General Cang promised not to starve to death. Look, no one is hungry. Die!" After saying that, he ordered the people to drive the cattle, sheep and horses back to the city.
But Zuhundo had no choice but to share the food he had brought with them before helping them onto their horses and leaving.
