Chapter 56 The blood of the Qiang people
The Qiang King was trembling with cold. He didn't understand why these people attacked his tribe. The fastest chapter update of the Zhong Qiang tribe is the larger tribe in the nearby Qiang tribe, with nearly 30,000 tribes. Who had such a great force to gather such a huge force to attack him.
The situation on the top of the mountain is very bad, and tens of thousands of people squeezed into a lump on the top of the mountain. It is difficult to squeeze around in many places, but this is better after all, it is warmer with each other.
Looking down, the Qiang King saw many torches on the mountains on the east and west sides facing the stars in the sky. But there seemed to be only thousands of people who surrounded them at the foot of the mountain. Why didn't so many soldiers come to besiege him?
The child's crying made him feel a little upset. The strong soldier guarded the intersection of the mountain. The back mountain was a heavy snow nest, and someone had already been squeezed out. He disappeared without saying a word. The snow shell was not frozen hard and could not hold people on the top. The snow below was very soft. If people fell, they would be buried alive by the collapsed snow.
Yun Xiao ate the fat mutton and ordered the dark woman to put on her clothes.
"May I have your name?"
"Yongxi."
Sang Kun could say a few words of Qiang, and Yun Xiao would translate one sentence.
"You go up the mountain to tell the Qiang King to surrender. Otherwise, you will trap them to death on the mountain and freeze and starve them to death. In such a cold day, it is impossible for your people to survive in the snow-capped mountains without taking anything. You know this more than me. If you want your tribe members to live, do what I say."
Yun Xiao looked tall and above.
Yong Xi looked at Yun Xiao with big eyes and suddenly said stammeringly.
"Are you a Han Chinese?"
It seems that this girl has some knowledge and can actually hear that she is speaking Chinese.
"Who I am has nothing to do with you, go and convince the Qiang King to let your tribe members survive."
Yongxi wanted to say something, but he was taken out like a chicken by the eagle.
"Mr. Marquis, I am Sang Kun, so I am convinced. Four thousand people can chase tens of thousands of people across the mountain. I, Sang Kun, have never fought so hard for a lifetime. We have not even had a single one injured."
Sang Kun admired Yun Xiao's command art very much, and threw out a series of compliments without any criticism.
"No matter how sharp a human sword is, it cannot compare to nature. A powerful nature has the power to destroy the world. Being good at using the power of nature is the way to win. We Han people have a saying that the right time, the right place, and the harmony of people can win."
While drinking steamed wine, Yun Xiao taught the military tactics he heard from his family generals. He never expected that he would just listen to a lecture by himself. In the future, Sang Kun became the number one general in the Western Regions.
The Qiang King couldn't hold on for long, and he and Yun Xiao knew this. When the sun rose, the Qiang King surrendered. The darkness before dawn was the coldest time, and he couldn't stand the howls of his tribe members.
Yongxi brought news that the sneak attacker asked him to surrender. Moreover, the Qiang King also knew that the Han people who attacked him were the Han people. Those gentle people would not do anything to him. The Qiang King was innocently thinking.
All the Qiang people threw down their weapons. Yun Xiao ordered the young and strong Qiang people to be tied up and ordered the old man and the children to start cleaning up their homes.
"Marty, are you?"
Sang Kun was a little puzzled. According to the habits of the Donghu people, in this case, he should kill those men, steal young women and cattle and sheep. Why bother so much? It is very troublesome to tie nearly 10,000 people and require a lot of ropes.
"The queen needs many people to grow something called cotton. These Qiang people are the best laborers, and these cattle and sheep are my payment for goods. Tell the queen to send the war horses I need before the next winter. You don't have to send us back to Han territory, but take these people back to Zhangye. Your queen will reward you."
Yun Xiao looked at the crowd of dark people, and Cang Hu was picking up strong people. It would be better for these strong guys to be taken care of by the Yun family. Zhangye needs gentle sheep and not rams with horns. It seems that there are more strong coolies in the Yun family's mine.
The soldiers of the Donghu were shocked by great joy, and they never exchanged such a tiny price for such a brilliant victory. Although the Qiang people were primitive, each tribe had brave warriors. Moreover, the Qiang people would also organize a tribal alliance together. In previous years, as long as the Donghu people attacked a tribe, they would stab a hornet's nest.
Every time the Donghu people could only retreat from attacks from all directions of the Qiang people. There was never a record of such a gang.
"Tell Canghu that you can pick up the strongest one and pick out a thousand people. Donghu also needs some strong labor. Growing cotton is a chore, and it won't work if you don't have less labor."
Sang Kun took a group of black Qiang people and drove countless cattle and sheep away. Yun Xiao also left the valley with a thousand strong Qiang people, including the Qiang King.
On the distant mountain peak, two women in thick furs watched the two teams leave.
"Sister, why are those people separated?"
"The Han people wearing black armor are the Han people, and those wearing leather armor are the Donghu people. It seems that the Han people and the Donghu people have joined forces and must tell the leader the news as soon as possible."
"But they all beat the Han flags? I recognize the square characters, and the Chinese merchants use such words."
"Idiot, the one who uses Chinese characters may not be the Han people. You follow that team of Han people and I will inform the leader."
Yongxi carefully wiped the blood from the Qiang King's wounds, and two iron rings ruthlessly passed through his pipa bone. Every twenty Qiang men behind him were tied into a string by ropes, dragged and followed the team. As long as they walked a little slower, a whip would ruthlessly whip them.
Canghu and Gangying hate the Qiang people, and they hate every Qiang people. If it weren't for the marquis' stop, they would have to kill and have fun. Now that they are allowed to live, they will suffer some life. Although some carriages are empty, they will not allow the Qiang people to ride. Each team of bound Qiang people is led by the strongest man, and this person will be ruthlessly penetrated through the pipa bone by an iron ring.
Blood dripped on the snow and was then trampled on by people. The blood of the Qiang people sprinkled all the way, and when the ice and snow melted, everything would disappear invisibly.
Yun Xiao was also helpless about this, so he asked them to relieve their hatred. As long as they did not kill innocent people, if they were not following him last night, the Qiang people's camp must be blood flowing like a river, and the sun at dusk shone on the long shadow of the team. The creaking sound of the Qiang people stepping on the snow can still reach their ears.
