At night, horns sounded all over Huixi Village. After a while, three thousand barbarian soldiers poured out from various awnings. They held all kinds of weapons in their hands and kept shouting weird "luoluluo" sounds in their mouths. They spontaneously marched towards the mountain. They gathered in the bright candlelight in front of the bag.
Xiang Zongyan, who is the "Capital of Xizhou's Rebellion against Thieves", was frowning and standing on the mountain with his hands behind his hands. He looked at the tribal soldiers in front of him who quickly filled the empty space in front of the commander's tent and raised his head without hesitation. The arm suddenly drew an arc in the air.
Seeing the leader giving the order, Xiang Ming, who was already shirtless not far away, immediately understood. He personally took the two mallets handed over by his subordinates and began to beat the drums vigorously.
"Winter! Winter! Winter!" Kang's passionate drums suddenly resounded through the night sky. Although the barbarian soldiers were a little confused, they also knew that if they were summoned at night, there would be a war. They all raised their weapons with enthusiasm and opened their mouths to howl. The ground screamed, and the strange sound soon spread throughout the mountains and fields.
There was no hint of summer in the mountain breeze at night in July, and it was still slightly cold. The bright red flags with the word "Xiang" that could be seen everywhere in Huixi Village had long since replaced the original blue flags with the word "Tian". It is flying wildly at the moment.
Xiang Zongyan's expression was calm. After hearing the sound of two drums, he immediately gave the order, and then several guards ran downhill.
After receiving a reply from the Tang camp at dusk and meeting Peng Shiyu, who had been away for several days, Xiang Zongyan made an immediate decision, regardless of the dissuasion of several generals, and led three thousand Xiangshi soldiers to surrender to the Tang army at night.
At first, the trusted generals, including Xiang Ming, were all angry and almost did not take action against Peng Shiyu, because the conditions proposed by Tang army coach Li Yuan were too harsh. In addition to sending back Tang general Luo Erhu, Not only did the leader Xiang Zongyan be required to enter the camp alone as a hostage, but he also directly demanded that all Xiang's sergeants in Huixi Village must abandon their weapons and armor and gather outside the gate of the mountain village until the Tang army came to take over the defense.
As for the fate of these barbarians after the Tang army took over the defense, Li Yuan did not clearly inform them. Instead, he overbearingly ordered Peng Shiyu to convey that "the matter of barbarian capture will be decided by my commander."
The use of the word "capture" makes it clear that for Li Yuan, Xiang Zongyan's move was not surrender, but surrender.
Therefore, how could the barbarians, who were filled with wild and strong nature, accept such humiliation? All fools understand what it means once the entire army lays down their weapons. Wouldn't these unarmed Xiang's sons become lambs to be slaughtered in front of the heavily armed Tang army? I will vent my anger on them.
In an instant, the Xiang clan generals in the big tent drew their swords in anger. If Xiang Zongyan hadn't exerted his authority as the leader and tried his best to suppress it, Peng Shiyu might not even be able to get out of the gate of Huixi Village...
It is said that Xiang Zongyan had put on a calm and calm expression until now, just to stabilize the morale of the army. Seeing that major changes were about to happen, how could he not feel disturbed in his heart?
Although he had already made the decision to sacrifice his life to save the clan, he still couldn't bear to look at the vigorous and vigorous soldiers in front of him. These were the few young and strong men left in the Xiang clan! Although Peng Shiyu vowed to "treat the Xiang family well", who can guarantee that the young master of Xizhou, who relies on the Tang army for survival, will his "guarantee" really be effective?
The blood feud caused by the poisonous miasma has already been forged. If Li Yuan, the commander-in-chief of the Tang Army, really ordered the massacre of the Xiang clan, what would happen to Peng Shiyu who was now living under someone else's roof?
But in the end, it is useless to think too much. Xiang Zongyan knows very well that now that he is in such a predicament, he has no choice. There are only two ways before himself and the tribe, either to become a burial object of the Tian family, or to destroy the tribe. Bet on Peng Shiyu.
Xiang Zongyan, who had read the allusion of "Lying on firewood and tasting courage", naturally chose the latter without hesitation, and bowed his head to Peng Shiyu again. Without seeking a comeback, at least the tribe still had a chance of survival, and the only bargaining chip in this gamble was not It's because I have known Peng Shiyu for many years, and Peng Shiyu's surname is at least Peng, not Tian.
The sound of the drum suddenly stopped, Xiang Zongyan took a deep breath, Xunji's eyes widened, and he shouted at the top of his lungs: "I, Xiang's sons! I have something to say, please listen carefully! In the past, Tiantian The clan is autocratic and arbitrary, and relies on its own authority and blessings. It has caused the tombs of my ancestors to be burned down, and my descendants have been humiliated to this day! Today, there are those who are right-wing, usurping power and killing their masters, hurting and abusing the people, and the five streams are cold..."
As if venting the emotions that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time, Xiang Zongyan shouted angrily. From the grievances between the Tian family and the Xiang family three generations ago, he talked about Tian Hong's rebellion in one breath, usurping power to frame Peng Shiyu, and vividly depicting the Tian family. The adults and gods were indignant and the world was intolerant. In the end, it was revealed that the Tian brothers deliberately withdrew their army to Xizhou City and left three thousand Xiang's sons in Huixi Village to die.
It's a pity that after all, the land below is the land of barbarians. Anyone who captures a scholar from Jinling will be shocked when he hears Xiang Zongyan, the leader of the barbarians, speak such an eloquent "Preaching for Land".
And Xiang Zongyan seemed to be immersed in his own emotions. The leader bared his teeth and roared filial piety, while the three thousand soldiers below looked at each other. You must know that most barbarians in Dongxi can't even speak Chinese, how can they? Can you understand such docile sentences?
In the military, only when you become a general can you have the opportunity to read and write. However, even if you have this opportunity, these barbarian generals who believe in force will probably only sharpen their pens and use them as hidden weapons.
In the eyes of most barbarian soldiers, the Chinese language is useless. In addition to the original leader Peng, the Han people in Dongxi are the civil and military officials under their command. These "nobles" who live in the city usually Except for the senior officials of each tribe, the soldiers were only responsible for fighting and of course they had no contact with them. A few words of Chinese were not even as effective as the few "lulululuo" before the war.
Seeing that most of the soldiers were unmoved, and some even looked sleepy, Xiang Ming, who was standing aside, was anxious, and finally couldn't help it. He stepped forward angrily, shirtless, and led his guards through the crowd.
Several concise and concise words were condensed into one sentence: Tian Hongyou murdered Mr. Peng, and now he wants to kill all of us. The leader asks you if you agree?
It was very clear now. As soon as they were fanned, all the barbarian soldiers immediately became nervous. They all raised their weapons and shouted loudly. For a moment, the crowd became indignant. Even the weeds and rocks on the mountainside seemed to tremble slightly with the shouts.
Seeing Xiang Mingchao, who was sweating profusely, nodding slightly to himself, Xiang Zongyan breathed a sigh of relief, as if the show was over, and then loudly turned to express in barbarian language, which was nothing more than the true love of Chaoxizhou. The owner, uncle Peng Shiyu, is sincere.
As for Li Yuan's request, Xiang Zongyan naturally couldn't tell him directly. He only said that the Tang army would come to take over the defense later, and everyone would be able to return to the tribe soon and no longer have to work for the Tian family.
