"The most elite and powerful cavalry in the clan are willing to serve as the general's vanguard!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiutu King Dugu fell to his knees with a plop, looking ashamed. He pulled out the scimitar from his waist and pointed it at his heart: "If the general feels that it is not enough, the little king is willing to die to atone for his sins, just to let the son of the clan go. "
No matter what others thought, after seeing this scene, the tribal leader who came with him to apologize immediately fell to his knees, lowered his head and remained silent.
Good acting.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Dugu, the king of Xiutu, is retreating in order to advance. After all, he came all the way to plead guilty, just to find a way to live. How could he be willing to die?
As for the lives of the sons and daughters of the clan, it is really not that important to the royal clan.
However, Lu Li looked at Pioneer Officer Song Xian in surprise. What on earth had this guy done to frighten King Xiutu into this?
First, he listened silently to his lord's reprimand. Then, he kept defending himself like an old wolf without claws. Finally, after listening to Zhang Liao's threats, he knelt on the ground and said that he would send troops to assist the army to suppress the remnants of the Yellow Turbans.
At the same time, Song Xian, who was standing with his arms folded watching the show, seemed to feel something, raised his eyes and looked around.
Their eyes met.
It's a pity that there is something serious to do now, otherwise Lu Li would really want to know the reason.
At this time, Ding Yuan took the machete over and looked down at the opponent without saying a word.
Seeing this, King Xiutu lowered his posture and prostrated humbly on the ground. He was a swordsman for others and a fish for others. Now, he could only pray to the leader of the Han army not to act on his own initiative.
Zhang Liao was speechless for a while. He just quoted an allusion and didn't say the whole thing——
Who would have thought that the monarchs who commanded the Xiutu, Dugu, and Tu tribes were so afraid of death that even King Gu Li could not compare with them.
"Forget it." Ding Yuan threw away the scimitar and waved his sleeves, "Don't worry about suppressing the civil unrest. King Tu will not worry about it. We and the state army still have the ability. You can just return to the grassland."
"No." Dugu raised his head.
At this time, the lord said again: "In addition, you must also pay compensation for the comfort and comfort of the soldiers who died in Yanmen County."
Although the grassland people do not know how to weave and make silk, nor are they good at making money, they have cattle, sheep, animal skins, and high-quality war horses. Who can refuse these things?
Because of this, all the generals in the tent gathered their thoughts and looked at King Xiutu in unison.
Suddenly, Dugu felt the pressure doubled.
"For each fallen soldier, Xiao Wang is willing to give fifty sheep as a pension. For each wounded soldier, Xiao Wang is willing to give twenty sheep and ten sheep skins as comfort."
Since Xiutu was located in Liangzhou and controlled a large number of Saishang pastures with lush water and grass, King Xiutu was quite generous, but he never mentioned horses.
However, the thing that Ding Yuan likes most is the war horse. After all, cattle, sheep, and furs are also produced in Bingzhou, but horses are different. Once he can get a large number of supplements, he can expand the scale of the wolf cavalry.
"Haha, King Xiutu is indeed a man of courtesy and sincerity, so I will do as you say."
Hearty laughter came from high up.
At this moment, Ding Yuan had already thought of a countermeasure. In fact, it was not difficult at all, it was just a matter of adding some more names.
Are you still afraid that he won't agree?
At this time, King Xiutu, who was lying on the ground, was ecstatic in his heart, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
Sheep are plentiful on the grassland.
In addition, the past few years have been good, and there are countless cattle and sheep in the tribe. If it were not for robbing silk, armor, craftsmen, and Dingkou, he would never have agreed to King Zuo Xian's invitation.
Now it seems that there are just some missing animals to satisfy hunger, and no bones or muscles are injured at all. In a few years, the tribe will be able to recover as before.
On the side, Lu Li, who was acting as the background with Song Xian and others, frowned slightly. Even if he was new to the army, he knew that horses were the most valuable, let alone a veteran of the battlefield like his lord. Unless his eyes were dim, he would never commit such a low-level act. mistake.
as expected.
Under the gaze of everyone, Lord Ding Yuan personally helped King Xiutu up and held his hand directly to show his closeness.
However, after comforting the other party for a few words, the Lord seemed to have thought of something troubling. After a long sigh, he secretly said:
"It's a pity that the old lady spoke so softly. Although I know that you are being coerced by King Zuo Xian, but if the court wants to pursue it in the future, I'm afraid..."
At this point, Ding Yuan paused deliberately, seeing that he was indifferent, and simply stated clearly: "I'm afraid that the emperor far away in Luoyang will issue an edict to recruit young people from Bingzhou, attack various tribes in the grassland, and build Beijing temples to show their force. At that time, There is nothing I can do but follow orders."
Jingguan?
There is one outside the camp!
It was built with the corpses of tens of thousands of Huns. Even if the weather is extremely cold, the smell of corpses still permeates the area within ten miles and lingers for a long time.
"Please save me, General!"
King Xiutu finally couldn't hold it anymore and knelt down again with a plop, crying and kowtowing like garlic. His originally stiff Chinese became much more fluent: "General, what do you think should be done? As long as we guarantee that our tribe As long as he is not liquidated in the future, Xiao Wang can do whatever he wants!"
A man in his fifties with gray hair unexpectedly called himself Xiao Wang. Lu Li shook his head helplessly.
"The Emperor once said: Zhang Changshi is my father, and Zhao Changshi is my mother. From this point of view, these two Changshis must be trusted by His Majesty. We can ask them to intercede on our behalf."
The ten regular servants who sell their official positions and get titles?
Lu Li knew clearly that his lord was probably planning to hit the eunuch with a shit basin while knocking on the bamboo pole.
After all, both romance and official history show that after the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty next year, Ding Yuan, who was appointed as Jinwu, led troops to Luoyang, and was invited by He Jin to kill the eunuchs.
If it weren't for his contempt and the profit, no matter how loyal the lord was to the Han Dynasty, he would not lead his troops all the way there.
"General, Xiao Wang doesn't understand the rules of officialdom, so I'd like to ask you to take care of it."
King Xiutu was not stupid, so he naturally knew that the so-called bribery of the regular servants was just a cover.
"How about 50,000 war horses?"
At this moment, the camp was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.
In fact, due to the violent vibration in his mind, King Xiutu didn't even notice that his breathing was quickening involuntarily.
Fifty thousand horses?
Moreover, it is not a pony, but a war horse that can be pulled directly onto the battlefield!
Also, which eunuch would like war horses?
Aren’t they all gold and silver treasures? !
It would be too ugly to look at the food.
Just like that, I don't know how long it took, King Xiutu's tense old face finally squeezed out a smile: "I will ask the tribal warriors to give up their mounts, and we can make up 30,000 horses. The rest, As soon as Xiao Wang returns to the grassland, he will send someone to deliver it... As for the imperial court, I will ask the general."
Hearing this, Ding Yuan nodded with satisfaction and casually agreed a few words to let him relax, saying that I should shoulder the responsibility.
Not far away, Lu Li, who witnessed the whole process, once again refreshed his understanding of the lord.
