In other words, there are no obstacles in the road ahead of Li Xin now.

He turned his head to look at He Song, and said indifferently: "General He, where are the prisoners from the Helan tribe?"

He Song bowed his head respectfully: "Go back to the governor, now he is outside the city."

Li Xin put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Take me there."

"I want to meet Yu Wentao."

He Song bowed his hands respectfully: "The last general obeys orders."

Under the escort of more than 100 personal guards, Li Xin quickly arrived at the prisoner camp outside the city. In this prisoner camp, there were about one or two hundred prisoners captured alive from the Helan tribe, all of whom were high-ranking or dignitaries of the Helan tribe. .

These people were all tightly tied up, unable to move.

Under the leadership of He Song, Li Xin came to the largest tent. In this tent, he met his former acquaintances.

A young man in his 20s was tied tightly to a post by a cowhide rope, his mouth was strangled by the rope, and he was speechless.

Seeing Li Xin walking in, the young man immediately became excited, yelled "woo hoo", and began to struggle desperately with his hands, but the rope was tied so tightly that he could neither break free nor speak.

Governor Li Dadu walked up to this person with his hands behind his back, expressionless: "Looking at your reaction, you still recognize me."

After Li Xin became a Marquis as a young man, Li Xin's city became deeper and deeper, and he rarely showed happiness or anger in front of others, but at this time, even Li Dadu, who was usually moody and angry, showed an angry look on his face.

"If it wasn't for me back then, you would still be raising horses at the racecourse!"

"It's true that you and I used each other and each had our own interests, but afterward, the Helan tribe is already the largest clan in Xianbei. Although Li feels sorry for the Xianbei people, he is kind to you, Yu Wentao."

Li Xin pulled out the long sword at his waist, cut the rope that strangled Yu Wentao's mouth, and asked coldly, "Why did Patriarch Yuwen teach me?"

Chapter 1176 Heads and Good News

Yu Wentao really annoyed Li Xin for a while.

As the leader of a faction, it is not worth criticizing for turning his back on his promise. For the collective benefit, no matter what he does, it is understandable and understandable. Yu Wentao became the head of the Helan tribe. Colluded with other Xianbei tribes, harassed the border of the Jin Dynasty, so that Chen Guogong Ye Mao almost died in battle in the northern border!

At that time, Li Xin, who had just won the capital, was still in the stage of stabilizing the situation, and had no way to spare his spare energy to deal with the rebellious Xianbei tribe. He had to let Ye Mao fight hard for half a year, and finally let He Song lead the four Zhechong House north.

The two sides have different positions. If doing so can benefit the Helan tribe, then Li Xin would not be so angry. The problem is that the Helan tribe had already formed an alliance with the Jin court at that time, and there was no shortage of food in the clan. There was no need for them to disturb the border , and there is no need to harass the Jizhou area.

They simply want to come in to see if they can get some benefits because of the emptiness of the defense in the north of Dajin!

It was precisely because of Yu Wentao's short-sightedness that Li Xin was a little overwhelmed and quite embarrassed during those few months.

Facing Li Xin's questioning, Yu Wentao opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't explain it. In the end, the young patriarch could only lower his head, his voice trembling.

"Li... General Li."

His tone was full of pleading.

"Forgive my life..."

Not all Xianbei people have Yu Wenzhao's knowledge of the pattern. In fact, Yu Wentao is extremely shallow and ignorant, and he has almost no vision of the city. At the beginning, he relied on some roughness to use the Tianlei that Li Xin gave him. , killed his uncle Yu Wenjie, and succeeded in taking the position of the chief of the Helan tribe.

In terms of ability, not only is he far inferior to Yu Wenzhao, he is even much worse than other uncles Yu Wenjie.

At this time, the Helan Tribe basically ceased to exist. Most of the men in the Helan Tribe were killed or injured, and the rest were divided among other tribes. Needless to say, the women and children in the tribe had already become the resources of other tribes. Well, the Helan tribe that was at its peak in the past has disappeared.

And Yu Wentao, the patriarch of the Helan tribe, was naturally knocked out of the dust, and he became the embarrassed boy who raised horses back then, and was even slightly worse.

Now, what the Yuwen Patriarch is thinking about is not about national hatred and family hatred, but about how to survive...

This is human nature. When facing death, not everyone can be calm and take death as home. In fact, most people will not perform better than Yu Wentao when facing the horror of death. where to go.

Li Xin glanced at Yu Wentao expressionlessly, and said with a sneer, "You still want to live? Let me tell you the truth, since you led the Xianbei tribe to harass the border, I have been talking about you in the capital for several months. Do you think Why did I ask He Song to bring you back to the capital from thousands of miles away?"

The green pheasant sword in Li Xin's hand shone coldly.

"Just to kill you with my own hands!"

Yu Wentao was so frightened that he trembled all over. He looked up at Li Xin and said in a trembling voice: "Great... General, I was just confused for a while. I didn't think about invading the Southern Jin Dynasty. I just let them rob some things at the border. ..."

This is the biggest difference between Yu Wentao and Yu Wenzhao.

The purpose of Yu Wenzhao's whole life is to enter the pass, restore the land of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and re-establish the country in Jiangbei. However, Yu Wentao, who is also the patriarch of Xianbei, only sees the petty profit at the border.

Although the former is more harmful to the court, he is also a person with ambition after all. In comparison, a short-sighted villain like Yu Wentao is more likely to be hated.

He looked up at Li Xin with a trembling voice, "Governor, you...occupied the land outside the pass, and it's not easy to take care of it. You Jin people...are not used to living there. There are no Helan tribes and Xianbei people here. There will be other races there in the future."

"Even if the Jin court set up the Protectorate in the north, it would only be for supervision, and it would be impossible to govern such a large area."

He looked at Li Xin cautiously, humbled to the extreme.

"I...I am willing to help the general to stabilize northern Xinjiang. As long as the general gives me a small official, I can go to northern Xinjiang to manage those herdsmen on behalf of the general, so that they will not dare to cause trouble."

"If you still knew me as a benefactor after you left the racecourse, so that you could fulfill the contract, I would probably readily agree to you saying this to me now, but now, you no longer have the qualifications..."

The long sword in Li Xin's hand was slowly raised.

Yu Wentao's face was covered with sweat, and he couldn't help begging Li Xin.

"General. I still have a sister in the capital. I...I promise her to the general. The general will save my life..."

Because of his excessive fear, not only was he stuttering at the moment, but his whole body was trembling.

Yu Wentao's younger sister Yu Wenjing, after seeing Li Xin's firearms, wanted to come to Dajin to have a look. Afterwards, she successfully arrived in the capital of Dajin, and then stayed in the capital to live.

It has been almost two years now.

Li Xin continued to sneer: "I have seen how thick-skinned Xianbei people are today, not to mention that your sister has already promised someone in the capital, and even if she didn't, it's not something that your patriarch Yuwen said to give away."

Having said that, Li Xin was too lazy to talk nonsense with this kind of person. He waved the Qingzhi sword in his hand, and the sharp sword edge passed Yu Wentao's neck without hindrance, and a head rolled off the neck.

After killing someone, Li Xinxin's anger subsided a lot. He wiped off the blood on the edge of the sword, put the sword back into its sheath, turned his head and walked out of the tent.

Outside the tent, He Song was waiting. After smelling the bloody smell on Li Xin's body, he asked with a smile, "Is that how the governor killed this man?"

"I've wanted to kill him for a long time."

Li Xin looked calm, and smiled at He Song: "I will trouble General He to tidy up inside, and what's more, General He has done a lot of meritorious service in going north, and tomorrow I will report to the imperial court, and ask for credit with General He and the Right Battalion of the Forbidden Army. "

He Song clasped his fists at Li Xin and said, "Governor, the general does not need any credit, only one thing to beg the Great Governor."

Li Xin was walking forward, but stopped when he heard this, turned his head to look at He Song, and said, "General He, please tell me."

"The last general... doesn't want to serve in the Imperial Army anymore."
