"Great, wise and heroic master, your servant Bale sends you greetings..."

When Tian Jian had just woken up and was about to get up and clean the dormitory of his mentor (so he thought) Yi Zong.

He was shocked to find that in front of his bed, there were several Yi Di kneeling with fawning expressions and smiles on their faces.

These barbarians all had their braids shaved off the backs of their heads, leaving only short hair, which looked very ridiculous. Coupled with their round faces that were full of scars, but they were constantly acting cute and fawning, and their weird and blunt Chinese.

All of this has become extremely funny.

Tian Jian snorted coldly.

He will never forget the day when his two uncles, whom he regarded as elders and family members, risked their lives for him.

Even more will not be forgotten.

My father died in the battle at Wuzhou Fortress!

Therefore, he had no good impression of these barbarians at all. If possible, he would even want to draw his sword and kill these barbarians.

It's a pity that he can't...

Although these Yi and Di prisoners kneeling before him were humiliated by the Han army, the braids on the back of their heads were shaved off, leaving only short hair.

This is a humiliating punishment comparable to castration in China.

In fact, many scholar-bureaucrats would rather have their penises cut off than be subjected to such a punishment.

Because this is the punishment imposed on the most dangerous elements and the most shameful prisoners in Guixin City.

It is the highest level of punishment that insults a person and his family.

Just tell everyone - this is how a bastard bastard behaves.

But the funny thing is that among the Huns captives, those who could be subjected to this kind of punishment were at least nobles above the household level.

You are a bastard, and you are not worth being insulted.

Their fate was destined to be shackled for the rest of their lives, working with dwarfs in various pastures of Taipu Yamen, herding cattle for the Han army.

In other words, only senior nobles above the household level could be targeted for humiliation by the Han army.

In fact, Tian Jian felt that punishments such as Kunxing were of little use to these barbarians.

It's better to simply cut off the penis, which would be more direct.

But it's a pity that this kind of thing is not something that a young man like him can decide.

Thinking of the tasks assigned by his 'mentor' yesterday, Tian Jian's mood became slightly better.

He grimaced and said: "Today's task is still to bury the body. You all should be careful and supervise the slaves' hard work!"

The Hun prisoners kneeling in front of him were nothing like the crazy, cold-blooded and cruel Zhelan nobles in the legend.

Like the most docile lambs, they kowtowed deeply. To Tian Jian, a young man who was not even in the ranks of the Han army and did not even have a title or position, they kowtowed with the highest etiquette on the grassland. Even the nobleman at the head,

He also kissed the ground at Tian Jian's feet disgustingly and said: "Great, wise and heroic master. Your order is Bale's mission!"

Although the others were not so excessive, they were all respectful, like sheepdogs guarding their master, saying: "As you command, master!"

This made Tian Jian a little hard to understand.

Even the few Han soldiers in the tent who were ordered to protect Tian Jian from being poisoned by the Yi Di looked at each other.

They simply could not connect these Zhelan nobles, who were like lambs and loyal dogs, with the crazy and perverted Zhelan cavalry whom they remembered from their elders, who looked down upon death and would find someone to hold him back even if he fell off his horse.

However, this is exactly the way of life of the grassland nomads.

The winner decides everything!

The loser will dedicate everything to the winner as a matter of course.

Including life, dignity, personality, wives and concubines, property and courage.

Although the Zhelan tribe is crazy, it will also abide by this law.

Especially Bale.

He was the first Zhelan noble to take the lead in surrender.

Before the surrender, he hated the Han Dynasty, and after the surrender, his sense of belonging and surrender to the Han Dynasty was profound.

Tian Jian may not know.

If we follow the original historical trajectory, more than twenty years later, Huo Qubing, a prodigy of the generation, faced a crazy attack by the Xiongnu’s two trump cards, the Zhelan and Ruolu tribes, at the foot of Gaolan Mountain.

After the Hussars fought bloody battles and annihilated the Huns' Zhelan and Lu Hou troops, the Hussar prisoners of war all became the effective force of the Hussars army. They turned their guns and pointed them at their old masters, fighting harder than the real ones.

The Han army was even more crazy.

Similarly, Wei Lu and Zhao Xin, who were originally Han generals, after surrendering to the Huns, started to attack their homeland and their former comrades, and they were even more crazy, cruel and cold-blooded than the Huns.

For any group of traitors, they must prove in front of their new masters that they have made a clean break with the past and have devoted everything they have to the new masters.

Therefore, whether in the East or the West, in the past, present, or future, those who are more vicious than the Japanese must be the Japanese.

What's more, the Han army completely defeated the Zhelan tribe in a frontal hand-to-hand charge and hand-to-hand combat with real swords and guns.

The extremely powerful breastplate charge, like a god coming down from the earth, completely destroyed all the pride and confidence of the Zhelan people and crushed them to pieces.

Under such circumstances, a change that no one in the Han Dynasty could have imagined has actually happened in the hearts of most Zhelan prisoners.

When these crazy, cold-blooded and cruel Zhelan cavalry encounter stronger forces, their crazy cruelty will transform into a trembling physique.

Just like decades ago, their ancestors offered their loyalty under Maodun's army, and from then on they devoted themselves to the Huns Empire with all their heart and soul.

Nowadays, almost all Zhelan prisoners have accepted in their hearts that their master is from the Han Dynasty.

As for the tribes on the grassland, once they accept that their master is XX, they will become a strange group that is unimaginable.

The so-called master has abused me thousands of times, but I treat him like my first love.

Just like all the tribes that were conquered by powerful force in history before and after.

Now the Zhelan people have completely become loyal slaves of the Han Dynasty.

As long as the Han Dynasty can continue to be strong, they will fight for the Han Dynasty wholeheartedly just like they served the Huns before.

It's a pity that the Central Plains civilization and the grassland civilization are two different civilizations.

Therefore, few Han soldiers could understand the thoughts of nomadic tribes.

Therefore, the charming looks of these noble captives were actually thrown to the blind man.

However, this kind of situation is also common on the grassland.

The nobles of Zhelan are still unyielding, like young girls in love, trying their best to reveal their thoughts and intentions in words and actions.

Especially Bale.

As one of the few nobles in the Zhelan tribe who can understand some Chinese culture.

He was also the first Zhelan noble to take the lead in surrender.

The advantage he has over other prisoners is that he knows the identity of the young man in front of him.

The commander-in-chief of the Han army, the big shot who commanded the god-like cavalry, the brother-in-law of the God King of the Han Dynasty in Chang'an City, the 'suspected disciple' of Dongchenghou Yizong. It is equivalent to a certain chief among the grassland tribes.

The same as the quasi-heir.

Of course, Bale knew that it was impossible for him to be a slave or lackey for such a big shot and nobleman.

However, it would be great if you could become this young man’s slave!

You know, on the grassland, slaves are also divided into classes.

Shanyu's slaves are N times more advanced than other slaves.

The status of personal servants of some big shots is even higher than that of many nobles.

So, at this moment, Bale really wanted to kneel in front of Tian Jian, cut out his heart and show him, and tell him - great master, please accept the humble loyalty and dedication of your slave!

Unfortunately, he couldn't do it.

So I had no choice but to use the most common standards on the grassland to express my wishes.

Now, even if Tian Jian asks him to eat Xiang, he will run to the ground and lick it clean without looking back.

"How is King Zhelan?" Tian Jian stood up and put on his clothes and asked.

"The great, wise, wise and extraordinarily heroic master..." Bale immediately acted like a pug, smiling desperately and saying, "Although that stupid slave had his arm cut off by the sacred heavenly soldiers of the Han Dynasty, his life is good.

, the injury is not serious, the doctors said he should survive!"

"Yeah!" Tian Jian nodded.

Three days ago, the Han army's breastplate charge smashed Zhelan's headquarters banner in one fell swoop.

This led to the collapse of the entire Zhelan tribe.

However, King Zhelan had a good life.

Miraculously, he did not die in the Cuirass Charge. After the war, when cleaning the battlefield, he was discovered by the Han army.

King Zhelan is really easy to identify.
