The beginning of the Three Kingdoms Cheng Yuanzhi

Chapter 44

The fire lasted all night and was not extinguished until dawn.

Almost all of the more than 1 Wuhuan people were killed in the flames, and only a dozen escaped. They were sent to the ground by Su Gai and tied up firmly.

The few barbarian warriors who jumped in and set fire were also burned to ashes.

There are more than 300 intact horses.

Since all the efforts were done with a single fire, the nets Cheng Yuanzhi had set up at the pass on both sides were useless.

When the sun came out, the barbarian tribe, which was magnificent yesterday, turned into ruins, and the valleys were bare, dark, and extremely ugly.

The air was filled with the smell of fireworks and burnt meat, which was disgusting.

Cheng Yuanzhi, who was wearing tiger skin, looked extremely dazzling among the cavalry.

At this time, a Wuhuan leader who had most of his hair burned off, was covered in flames, and was wearing a tiger skin was escorted to him, looking at him with horror in his eyes.

He is also looking at each other.

The two wear the same clothes and have the same temperament, the only difference is that one is the victor and the other is the loser.

Their eyes met for a moment, and the leader of Wuhuan cupped his hands and asked in Chinese:

"Which route is the general from?"

"You are also a Hanchen, why did you attack our troops?"

The death of more than 1 subordinates has become an established fact. At this time, the leader of Wuhuan is thinking about how to survive, not to be silenced, and then return to the Wuhuan tribe in Yunzhong County to seek reinforcements to regain his position.

Before getting back the place, he should take this lawless guy seriously before Han Emperor Liu Hong.

Cheng Yuanzhi didn't answer the question, but said lazily, "The big man treats you well, why did the Wuhuan tribe rebel?"

rebel?do i have itThe leader of Wuhuan was completely stunned, and after thinking for a while, he hastily defended:
"General Mingchao, I, Wuhuan, have never rebelled."

Cheng Yuanzhi stepped in front of him, pointed at the mountain behind him, and said angrily, "Then tell me what's going on?"

The leader of Wuhuan looked back, startled in his heart, and argued, "General, these...these are just barbarians..."

"presumptuous!"

"Do barbarians have no human rights? Barbarians, you Wuhuan tribe, can do whatever you want?"

Cheng Yuanzhi continued to question aggressively: "Have you heard my great Han emperor say: whatever the sun and moon shine, and wherever the rivers and rivers go, are all Han soil, huh?"

Su Ge raised the saber high at the right time, as if he was about to chop.

Depending on the situation, once the leader of Wuhuan dared to say "I haven't heard of it", he would kill him with a knife.

The leader of Wuhuan suppressed the fear in his heart, without thinking about what "human rights" are, and quickly stated, "I've heard of it, I've heard of it."

At times like this, he couldn't help but say no.

Cheng Yuanzhi raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Since I have heard it, why do you want to attack the barbarians and rob them of food, cattle and sheep? How is this different from rebellion?"


"Come on, cut it off!"

After that, he gave Sugai a wink.

Sugai raised the knife with a mind...

The leader of Wuhuan's liver and gallbladder burst immediately, and he fell to his knees on the ground, crying bitterly:
"The general is merciful, Wu Tuna is convicted, Wu Tuna is willing to offer gold, silver, treasures, beautiful women and horses, just begging the general not to kill..."

As soon as he heard that there were gold, silver, wealth, horses and horses, Cheng Yuanzhi was a little moved, so he gave Sugai another wink, Sugai was stunned for a moment, and then said:

"For the sake of gold and silver treasures, the general will spare his life."

Cheng Yuanzhi looked at Wutuna condescendingly, borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and said, "Well, how many people are there in your tribe? How many gold, silver, treasures, women and horses?"

Seeing that there is a chance of survival, Wu Tuna was overjoyed: "General, I am willing to donate three thousand good horses and ten thousand taels of gold and silver, but I don't know where to send them?"

This is asking me about my background in disguise. Cheng Yuanzhi pondered for a while, and said naturally:

"I don't change my name when I walk, but I don't change my surname when I sit. It's Zhang Yang, the prefect of Shangdang."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hands to make people release Wutuna's two personal guards, and signaled them to report the news by themselves.

Then he turned to Wu Tuna, and said with a smile, "If within fifteen days, if the gold and silver horses are not sent to Shangdang in full, I will take your... dog's life!"

Seeing that the other party spoke the most cruel words with the most kind attitude, Wu Tuna nodded hastily, and gave instructions to the two clansmen.

The two clansmen agreed and rode away.

After walking far away, Wu Tuna did not forget to say:
"If this leader can go back, I will promote you two as leaders and each will control one..."

Cheng Yuanzhi understood the last sentence, because Wu Tuna spoke Chinese.

So he nodded in satisfaction and said, "Press it down."

The barbarian girl commanded eight strong barbarian men, and carried a huge yellow-white iron bump to Cheng Yuanzhi, annoyed, "It's all turned into a lump."

Cheng Yuanzhi touched the lump of gold and silver with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "It's okay, are there other things in the tribe?"

The barbarian nodded: "Yes, there is still a lot of food in the cellar, and they have all been moved out."

"Then do you stay here, or come back with me?"

The barbarian looked back at the clansmen, lowered her head and thought for a while, then smiled shyly at Cheng Yuanzhi and said:
"We are used to living in the mountains, so we won't go outside. If you are free, you want to come and see me..."

"If you don't come, I'll go find you..."

For no reason, Cheng Yuanzhi automatically understood the last two words of these two sentences as "gan me" and "cut you".

Thinking of the consequences of the barbarian girl's finding...then quickly nodded in response.

The savage girl was overjoyed, Xiafei turned her cheeks, twisted her waist, and shook her long hair, leading the group to the north, turning her head and waving goodbye as she walked.

More than 800 people left, making the scene with only a thousand people seem extremely empty.

Watching this healthy woman disappear from sight, Cheng Yuanzhi heaved a long sigh of relief.

Before that, his legs had been shaking.

I'm afraid that the barbarian girl will say something about going back with him.

"It's so touching, why didn't the commander-in-chief keep him... Huh..." Su Gai rubbed his red eyes, his voice was full of emotion.

Cheng Yuanzhi suddenly remembered that Su Gai was only 12 years old and only thirteen after the new year, and he was not very good at managing his emotions.

At this age, no matter in the previous life or in this life, you are just a child, and it is very normal to have feelings when you see someone.

However, seeing a two-meter-tall giant man stage a heroic man with tears in his eyes, I feel very happy.

Cheng Yuanzhi walked around the ruins of the barbarian tribe again, but found nothing.

The barbarians inspected very carefully, and there was not a single valuable thing left in the places visible to the naked eye.

Just when everyone thought that this expedition was fruitless, Sugai stepped on a hard object in the ashes.

Pull it out and see that it is a big black knife.

This knife is quite heavy, it weighs about sixty to seventy catties, if you put it on a long handle, it looks like a cold saw.

It's just that the blade has never been opened.

Cheng Yuanzhi speculated that this knife should have been a semi-finished product before, or it could not be tempered successfully due to insufficient firepower or other reasons.

Then he took the knife, stretched out his hand to flick it, and found that the sound was unusually ethereal and crisp, with lingering lingering sounds.

He was suddenly surprised.

After a night of black fire, a good knife was tempered?

Su Ge was even more surprised than him, snatched the big knife, held it in his arms, and muttered: "I found it, mine!"

Cheng Yuanzhi looked at this majestic man with a soft heart and said, "It's yours, no one will snatch it from you."

Su Gai laughed and said, "This knife must be very fast for chopping firewood!"

Well, it's faster to kill people Cheng Yuanzhi looked up at the Huoshaoyun in the eastern sky, and didn't answer any more.

This crusade against Wuhuan didn't gain any benefit, so it can only be regarded as no loss or gain.

But Cheng Yuanzhi believes that as long as he gives himself time, he will be able to manage a powerful force and wipe out the four barbarians in the north.

Not to mention anything else, just the foundation of the king in Hedong, Hanoi and Bingzhou, can advance and retreat freely if it is well managed.

In the past, Emperor Guangwu occupied Hanoi to recover his ancestral property, and later Li Tang occupied Bingzhou and swept the world, starting two prosperous dynasties respectively, all of which illustrate the importance of this place.

At first, Cheng Yuanzhi didn't think he had much ambition, and his initial idea was to occupy the good land of Bingzhou, develop his strength silently, drive out the barbarians for the big men, and make the frontier no more hidden dangers.

If Cao Cao's ambition at this time was General Zhengxi, then his initial ambition was General Pingbei.

But nearly two years after coming here, his mind has changed a lot.

In this chaotic world, you can't escape if you want to, because others will trouble you.

That being the case, then go south to fight for the world.

.........

The cavalry ran very fast, especially when they returned in triumph, the five or six hundred miles seemed to be run all at once.

By the time the [-] soldiers returned to Shangdang, only fifteen days had passed since the day of the expedition.

If it weren't for the snow to block the road, the round-trip time would only be shorter.

As soon as he entered the city, Zhang Yang yelled and said: "It's bad, the Wuhuan people's memorial to impeach me has passed Taiyuan and sent to Luoyang. If I want to chase now, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up!"

"Where did you get the news?" Cheng Yuanzhi asked him.

"Zhang Yi, governor of Bingzhou, sent someone to sue."

"Don't panic, stay calm when encountering big problems." Cheng Yuanzhi comforted him.

Zhang Yang quickly calmed down, and the two went to the prefect's mansion side by side. On the way, he asked in confusion, "Marshal, why do the Wuhuan people believe that I killed them?"

Cheng Yuanzhi held back his laughter, glanced at Wu Tuna who was following behind, and whispered to him, "I left your name..."

"..."

Well, it's the master's way to benefit yourself and let others take the blame. That's right.
Zhang Yang felt that it was better not to dwell on this topic, so he pointed to Wutu and asked:

"Master, who is this person?"

"Wutuna, the leader of the Wuhuan Tribe." Sugai interjected.

Zhang Yang stared: "Didn't the Wuhuan tribe force me to kill him by doing this..."

As he said that, he snatched a long spear from some soldier, slammed it on Wu Tuna's back with a stick, and said angrily:

"Cunning person, watch and beat!"
