Xu Yunyan's most intuitive feeling was that he gained extraordinary gains at the end of the war.
Not only were cattle, sheep, horses and some unknown things that could be used as food seized, but in addition to these fixed payments, tents and carriages were all available.
There were also a few people who were neither red-haired ghosts nor Turks who were detained together by them. Their clothes were even more ragged, and it was obvious that they were having a harder time in the hands of this red-haired ghost.
Looking at them, Xu Yunyan asked for no reason.
"Where do you come from?"
This time Xu Yunyan spoke in standard Chinese, and these people immediately started crying when they heard the familiar voice.
"We are residents of the Northland during the Daye Period of the Sui Dynasty. When Your Majesty was besieged by the Turks, we captured the grassland and passed it over to their hands to thrive. It has taken many years to get here."
As soon as an older man finished speaking, he couldn't help but started crying with his people there. He didn't expect that he would have the chance to see the people in his hometown in the end. Even if he died, it would be worth it.
When Xu Yunyan heard that he was from the Daye period of the Sui Dynasty, wasn't he in the same camp as them?
Sun Ning told him that her father was an official of the Sui Dynasty.
As soon as he heard that they were his compatriots and people from the same camp as himself, Sun Ning couldn't help but move forward to persuade them.
"Okay, you are safe, and you won't be bullied by outsiders anymore."
But after Sun Ning finished speaking, he ignored them and left them to fend for themselves, leaving these people stunned.
Seeing Sun Ning doing this, Xu Yunyan couldn't help but ask next to him.
"Ma'am, why don't you let them come with us?"
"Forehead?"
Sun Ning looked at Xu Yunyan in confusion.
.
"Husband, is this appropriate? You have something to enjoy at night, but they don't. What if they get angry? People's hearts are separated from each other. Although we know that they are the same people as us, what if something goes wrong? Think about it, there’s nothing we can do!”
Sun Ning whispered this next to Xu Yunyan, and the corners of Xu Yunyan's mouth twitched.
"What should we do? How about giving the people you captured to them so that they can enjoy the blessings of being together? Isn't this a good thing?"
After hearing Xu Yunyan's words, Sun Ning looked at Xu Yunyan in confusion, with a happy look in his eyes.
"Husband, look at those people, don't you like this?"
If Xu Yunyan said he didn't like it, it would be a lie.
"But don't I have you?"
What Xu Yunyan said made Sun Ning feel elated, and then he laughed.
"Okay, just as my husband said, since I don't want them, I'll give them to them."
Although what Sun Ning said was a bit convoluted, it was still a good idea. Sun Xiaoning and the others quickly met with Xu Yunyan, and Xu Yunyan shared his thoughts with everyone gathered.
Sun Ning and others hurriedly agreed, and as women, they were born with slightly smaller strength. If there were some like-minded people with them, and they were not distracted and would not have any wrong thoughts about them, then their team would be The strength will grow geometrically.
Now that you have an idea, it’s time to implement it.
Xu Yunyan was elected by each of the girls and walked forward.
Xu Yunyan just came out and looked at the people he recognized as being in the same camp as himself, but now his eyes were really blank.
Measures, said the person who was brought here during the Daye Years who didn't know what to do next.
"You are free now."
Xu Yunyan emphasized again that the person in front of him was free, but the person in front of him was still at a loss and did not dare to make any other move.
Xu Yunyan looked at them and said again.
"You are free now, do you want revenge?"
After these words, these people raised their heads and looked at Xu Yunyan, then looked around and then lowered their heads in despair.
Seeing them like this, Xu Yunyan, who still wanted them to be with him, couldn't help but give up.
But Sun Ning and Sun Xiaoning watched Xu Yunyan turn his head to look at them with a "you can do it" look. They looked at Xu Yunyan as if he was replenishing Xu Yunyan's blood, and let Xu Yunyan continue to talk to the person in front of him.
"Are you going to live like this as slaves? You can become masters of men.
Now your opportunity has come, these prisoners will be your slaves, you can do whatever you want.
I have only one request: to join us in rescuing our compatriots who have been taken captive.
Now you make your own decision, whether to eat here and wait to die, and then be captured by other people to be slaves, or to be masters, those people will be left to you, you can decide for yourself. "
Xu Yunyan had already said it very straightforwardly. The person in front of him raised his head and looked at some old, weak, women and children who were locked up in the distance. He didn't know who they were. Suddenly, he became jealous and picked up a handful from the side. When he was cleaning the battlefield on the ground, he didn't pick up the knife at all, and walked over to the distance.
The first ragged man
Crying as he walked.
"Mom and dad, don't worry, I will avenge you now! Didn't they bully us and kill you? I will avenge you now."
As the first person said this, he entered the crowd and told those who had bullied him to kill them on the spot. Of course, he did not kill them wantonly. He only killed those who had bullied him and left others alone.
Seeing that these people still had a bottom line, Xu Yunyan nodded with satisfaction, and after one person took the lead, the others also cried and moved forward, killing those who bullied them on the spot.
As for the others, the same is ignored.
Watching a few young and strong people make their own choices, the old one sighed.
"Benefactor, I won't follow you. I'll fend for myself here. Following you will cause you trouble, so let these energetic young men follow you.
They have a lot of power that can be used by you. I just hope that their death will not be in vain. "
Xu Yunyan saw that the old man in front of him looked like this, and he was a little unresponsive. The old man looked at the red-haired children and said to Xu Yunyan.
"This benefactor is definitely not a murderous person. Just let them go and let me, this old guy, lead them. Maybe they can still survive. They will never do such a thing again in the future. Trust me!"
When Xu Yunyan heard what the old man said, he couldn't help but feel awe in his heart.
When will retribution happen? Yide complained that he had seen this kind of thing again, and Xu Yunyan nodded to the old man and said there was no problem. You can do what you said.
to do it, and the old man turned his head and faced them with the language mastered by some red-haired ghosts who were chirping.
Listening to these words that he could vaguely understand, Xu Yunyan spoke to Sun Ning and Sun Xiaoning.
"Let them go, these people are just children, old and weak women and children, they can't make any waves, let them stay with this old man.
He wants to convert them into our people. I think this is a good attempt. If they really become our people, there will be no enemies on the grassland in the future.
Even if they look a little different, they are still our people. "
Xu Yunyan announced that he was heartbroken, but Sun Ning and Sun Xiaoning had no objection. Even though Sun Ning was full of hatred for the Turks, he just found his husband. Although it was in name only, he still listened to him.
In order not to embarrass Xu Yunyan, Sun Ning immediately spoke after Xu Yunyan finished speaking.
"Husband, just make the arrangements. You can make whatever arrangements you want. We have already agreed and we will all listen to your husband."
Seeing Sun Ning cooperate with her so much and giving herself a different kind of enjoyment, Xu Yunyan said, "I'm sorry for you."
Sun Ning's eyes were a little red after saying this. Was she suffering this during the day or at night? Is it here or somewhere else? This is worth pondering.
As expected, the old man in front of him smiled and praised Xu Yunyan again after Xu Yunyan finished speaking. At the same time, he also said something to those who stayed.
Xu Yunyan ignored the old man and looked at the young men pointing at them.
"Did you see those people in the distance? Those tied up with hemp ropes.
"
Xu Yunyan's words made these people who were crying there because of revenge raise their heads and look at Xu Yunyan. After Xu Yunyan stretched out his hand and pointed in the distance, these people looked at Xu Yunyan without knowing why.
Xu Yunyan looked at them and spoke slowly.
"You each pick one of those women in the distance. This is your woman. From now on, you will follow us to rescue our compatriots. As long as you do well, you may not live like this tribal leader in the future.
The entire tribe belongs to you, and you will have more and more women. Think about how great it would be to be able to spread branches and leaves for your own family. "
Now Xu Yunyan has no choice but to use this method to tie these people, and these people immediately pledged themselves in front of Xu Yunyan.
"Don't worry, my benefactor, as long as it's your order, we will execute it unconditionally. If we disobey your order, there will be five thunderbolts from heaven! We will die badly!"
They are very happy now. The mistress who once oppressed them is now their woman, making them very happy.
Xu Yunyan played this skill very well, and then each of these people selected a woman, and after Xu Yunyan provided the war horse, she suddenly became a capable combatant.
As for the rest? He was tied up and carried in a carriage again, heading in another direction.
As for the scene, it was left to the old man who voluntarily stayed here to deal with the aftermath. They never thought that this old man had really succeeded in converting the tribe, and he met the Tang army who took over the place, and survived safely.
Xu Yunyan continued to march north, but he didn't know what to think and felt very uncomfortable.
Don't want to go all the way again
To the north, the country further north is freezing cold. Can they really adapt? And there is a thought in my mind why they will have such a harmonious relationship with me in the future?
With this idea in mind, after a new day, Xu Yunyan came out of the tent refreshed. Perhaps because he had conquered his wife Sun Ning, the entire team strangely no longer moved north, but instead moved west.
No one raised any objections. They also knew that the closer it was to the north, the colder it was. Logically speaking, it was a good day when the sun was shining brightly. But in the south, it was enough to wear single clothes. In the north, they could only continue marching by wrapping themselves in sheepskins.
They didn't dare to try again. If it got colder as they went north, their sheepskins had not been trimmed and it would be a waste anyway. They might as well listen to their leader and continue westward.
Heading west was indeed the right choice. Not even half a day into the journey, there was another small tribe ahead.
Although they didn't know whether they were a tribe like the red-haired ghosts they first encountered or a tribe of Turks, but looking at the tribe that was making smoke for food, Xu Yunyan pulled out the knife from his waist with a swipe.
"Soldiers! As I rush forward, food has been prepared for us in front of us. Don't let down their kindness!"
"I will obey the general's military orders!"
Yes, Xu Yunyan has a new title after adding new manpower, General!
