Hu State, royal palace.
Liang Jun has surrounded them.
Kuimu, Hu's ministers and dozens of guards made the final resistance.
Song Che and Jiang Yuntian rode horses and strode into the palace with a group of soldiers. The guards of the Hu Kingdom just waited and backed away until they could no longer retreat back to the main hall.
"Fight them!"
The guards did not lose their integrity and rushed over with shouts.
Jiang Yuntian waved his hand slightly, and the soldiers lined up and stabbed him randomly.
Song Che dismounted in front of the palace, dusted himself off, and strode into the palace. The world is really strange. The last time he came here, he was pointed out by thousands of people, but now those people who pointed at him have all shrunk into a ball.
"Your Highness, what do you think of today's events?" Song Che asked Xiang Kuimu.
Kuimu said bluntly: "I am willing to surrender to Daliang and bow my head as a vassal!"
"late."
Song Che waved gently, and Liang Jun swarmed in, wiped out all the foreign ministers and dragged them out of the hall.
"Mr. Song, spare my life! Please spare my life! Do you still remember that I let you go that night!" Kuimu knelt at Song Che's feet and cried bitterly for mercy.
"I only remember that night you locked me in a dog pen and I was almost eaten by your hunting dogs. Other than that, I don't remember anything else."
Song Che kicked Kuimu away and said coldly: "You are the most cruel and hateful person in the entire Hu State. You feed hunting dogs with living people and kill innocent prisoners. This blood debt is not repaid to me, but to me." For them.”
"Mr. Song——"
"Someone, drag this wolf-hearted thing into a dog pen and let him die on his own."
"Mr. Song, please spare your life, Mr. Song..."
Kuimu was dragged out of the hall by the soldiers.
Hu State, died.
…
In the next few days, Song Che's first priority was to clean up the slave market and arrest the slave owners. These people were buying and selling human beings and had no conscience. It would not be enough to inflict the 18th torture on them a thousand times.
All the slave owners were taken to the city gate and hanged on the city wall. In order to achieve the purpose of deterrence, the whole city had to watch the execution.
Song Che stood on the city wall and personally supervised the execution of these demons.
"Help! I'm not a slave owner! I'm just a businessman... I know your Boss Song from Daliang! Boss Song Che Song!"
Suddenly a familiar voice came into my ears.
Biden was pressed down among the death row prisoners, shouting in confusion. If he hadn't called out Song Che's name, he might have been hung on the city wall as "bacon" today.
Song Che ordered people to take Bi Deng out of the death row and bring him to the front.
"My dear adults in Liang, I am not a slave owner, I am just a businessman. I am good friends with your boss Song, the richest man in Liang! If you don't believe it, I still have purchases from him in my warehouse. Where's the silk!" Biden wailed and knelt down to beg for mercy.
"Is the silk you bought easy to sell?" Song Che asked with a smile.
"Easy to sell, easy to sell... Huh?" Biden suddenly raised his head, stunned, "You, you, you... you are you..."
Song Che smiled and helped Bi Deng up, "Boss Bi, if you don't buy my silk, I really may not be able to save you."
"Wow! Boss Song, it's really you!" Biden was so excited that he stepped forward to hug him.
Song Che pushed him away with a look of disgust and asked: "Boss Bi, today I, Daliang, captured Hu State. As a Hu man, how do you feel?"
Biden blurted out without thinking: "When we learned that Daliang troops were approaching the city, we thought you would massacre the city after breaking it. Who knew that you just captured these slave owners and did nothing to the common people? Even our own people can't do what you do." Mercy is simply the teacher of benevolence and righteousness!"
"Hahaha……"
This flattery is quite comfortable.
"From now on, you are my general agent in Jiangnan Jinxiu. From now on, the silk business on this entire grassland will be handled by you."
Biden almost kowtowed and thanked him.
Song Che waved his hand slightly, signaling for him to step back, and then raised his head to look at the green and fertile fields. How big the grassland was, how vast the wealth was. As long as the management was good, there would be mountains of gold and silver.
"So, it's over?" Jiang Yuntian asked.
"It should be over for now."
Song Che pointed to the grassland and said: "But the grassland is so vast. Maybe in three to five years, another nomadic people will establish a political power here. As long as desire and hatred exist, the war will never end."
"choke!"
Jiang Yuntian drew his sword out of its scabbard, pointed at the vast sky, and said boldly: "Don't be afraid, just do it!"
If it were in the past, Song Che would definitely have said "just do it" to him, but at this moment, he no longer had that passion, and now all he could think about was his wife and children.
This time is really the last time.
"Da da da……"
Mo Yueqianqi came galloping from the north and saw that the flag number was Qin Fengjun.
Song Che and Jiang Yuntian hurried out of the city to meet them.
"Military advisor, General Jiang, what a great victory on the road! Since most of the Hu State was captured, the enemy troops on the road dispersed like birds and beasts. More than 100,000 people fled overnight. Our army advanced with great success and effortlessly reached the foot of Tianshan Mountain. General Long is still chasing the remnants in the north with his large troops, so I will come back first to tell you the good news!"
Qin Fengjun Commander Zhao Wei was excited. He stepped forward and grabbed Song Che and took him to the army. "Commander, you told us in your letter that after we captured Wu Tuo, we would help you find someone named... What's it from?"
"Tuya?"
"Yes, yes! Tuya! Immediately after our army broke through the city, we followed your military advisor's instructions and shouted 'Mrs. Song' while walking on the street. Sure enough, there was a Hu woman who agreed. Do you think it was her? "
Zhao Wei pulled Song Che to a car, patted the car door, and called out "Madam" softly.
The car door slowly opened, and the woman with the face of the Hu ethnic group but her hair in a Liang bun, who could she be if she wasn't Tuya?
"Husband!"
Tuya jumped off the carriage and flew towards Song Che, "After I learned that you fled Dadu, I thought I would never see you again!"
Arhan had threatened Song Che with her before, but now that she was safe, Song Che finally breathed a sigh of relief, "After I left, did most people send anyone to look for you?"
Tuya nodded, "They sent a lot of people and searched almost the entire Utuo City, but fortunately I remembered what you told me when you left, asking me to assess the situation. On the first day when I returned to my parents' home, So I bought a small courtyard with the money you gave me. When they came to search for me, I hid in the cellar of the small courtyard and they didn't let them find me for several months."
So clever!
"Oh, by the way, military advisor, on my way here, I met several businessmen from the Western Regions. I heard from them that the coalition forces from various countries in the Western Regions are attacking Yumen Pass. We have won the upper and middle roads, and the lower road should not be far away, right? "
After Zhao Wei mentioned this, Song Che suddenly realized that there had been no news from the lower road for half a month. Now that most of the Hu State had been defeated, it was meaningless for the Hu army to defend the Hexi Corridor. It should be soon. Good news came.
But after a few months of fighting, the bottom lane seems to be slacking off from beginning to end.
The coalition forces from various countries in the Western Region are also attacking Yumen Pass. Logically speaking, they should be able to defeat Daliang in a pincer attack faster than the middle and upper armies...
Has this Mawei been delaying the opportunity to fight?
"Brother Jiang, please quickly order 20,000 light cavalry and go to the bottom lane to check the situation."
"What if the situation changes?"
"kill him!"
Song Che said harshly: "I can't kill him but I have to trap him and wait for my army to come and suppress him!"
