Chapter 316 The Great Victory in Hexi, the Death of Da Lun
Ba Wu was a kind-hearted person in the military camp and had good popularity.
When escaping, he was also able to find the best route, and more and more soldiers followed him.
By the time he escaped twenty miles away, the sky was getting dark.
There were already more than 300 people around Bawu. Bawu assigned everyone a resting place and took his own people to search for some wild vegetables, finally settling down temporarily.
Bawu's family was poor, and he knew a lot of wild vegetables and fruits. Although these things did not satisfy his hunger, they did warm his body.
From the initial panic when he was escaping, Ba Wu has calmed down a lot.
While escaping, he was also thinking. He remembered what the monk Yuantong said to him when he was at the manor.
At the beginning, Bawu just thought it was a crooked theory. Everyone is born equal. Are the humble slave and the noble Zanpu equal?
But while fleeing, Bawu realized that Yuantong seemed to be right.
Those brave deserted warriors would attack their compatriots in order to escape for their lives, just like the slaves who fought for a piece of food.
Along the way, there were also captains and centurions who relied on their status to ask for food and protection from Bawu's team.
Without exception, these people were chopped down by their own soldiers.
When you are running for your life, in the wilderness, no matter you are the castle owner or something else, you are just a person running for your life.
Ba Wu just watched all this coldly. It turned out that when beheading, those high-ranking officials and nobles would beg for mercy and pee their pants just like ordinary people.
Maybe what Monk Yuantong said is right, everyone is equal, and the so-called high and low are just shackles placed on everyone by these big shots.
What will happen to Tubo East Road in the future?
Bawu didn't know, but he knew very well that if he couldn't go back safely, his younger brothers and sisters would be oppressed, and his manor might no longer exist.
After losing his glory and fighting will, Bawu finally found a reason to live.
For the family.
Most of the people in this team have the same idea as Ba Wu.
Most of them are ordinary soldiers, and they are also the lowest level of free people or little warriors in the entire Tubo system.
They stayed together because they didn't want to be angered anymore and become cannon fodder for the Tubo nobles.
Just after setting up camp, suddenly the whistle of a sentry came from outside the forest.
Ba Wu immediately rushed over with weapons in hand, only to see a team of a hundred people approaching the forest.
Is it Tang Jun?
Bawu became nervous.
The leading men were also riding horses, and one of the men holding a torch made Bawu's eyes light up.
Winter Malang!
Bawu's heart tightened. Dongri Malang is his superior and the captain of his unit. Should he go out now or stay in the forest?
A soldier next to Bawu made a nervous voice, and Dongri Malang immediately pulled out his knife: "Who is in the woods!"
Ba Wu sighed, it was impossible for him to hide his whereabouts with more than 300 people.
He calmly walked out of the forest and said, "Mr. Malang! I am Ba Wu!"
Draw strength?
In winter, Malang stretched out his torch and illuminated Bawu's face.
Only then did he remember that this Bawu was a centurion under his command.
Dongri Malang breathed a sigh of relief.
Just when Dongri Malang wanted to say something to comfort Ba Wu, the nobleman riding on the horse beside him immediately said:
"How many people do you have under Bawu?"
Bawu thought for a while and said truthfully: "More than three hundred people have gathered here, all of whom escaped from the military camp."
Dongri Malang and another noble were overjoyed when they heard that there were three hundred people.
Dongri Malang immediately said: "Hurry, hurry, come with me to see the lecture!"
Big talk?
Ba Wu was stunned, he didn't expect Shang Qi Xin'er to be here?
Before Bawu could react, Dongri Malang immediately dismounted from his horse and pulled him, leading him to Shang Qixin'er.
Although she was running away, Shang Qixin'er didn't look embarrassed.
One of the guards was serving the fragrant meat with both hands, and Bawu quickly determined that it was horse meat.
Shang Qi Xin'er's posture of eating meat was still elegant, but Ba Wu's stomach growled and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
The torch was lit, and Shang Qixin'er could clearly see Ba Wu's appearance.
He opened his mouth and said, "I know you."
Bawu immediately knelt down.
Shang Qixin'er has a good memory and said:
"It was at Dangjin Mountain Pass that this treatise gave you a fair verdict, right?"
Speaking of this, Bawu recalled the first time he met the monk Qixin'er.
A samurai who betrayed himself shot and killed the slave who was fighting, and Shang Qixin'er only asked the samurai to compensate her with silver cakes.
Later, when Jinshankou was defeated, Bawu was summoned by Shang Qixin'er and asked about his defeat.
From that time on, he was labeled a coward.
When he thought of this, Ba Wu felt a sense of injustice in his heart.
What a bullshit fair verdict!
Shang Qixin'er was still thinking about herself and said: "Do you still have three hundred people?"
Bawu nodded.
Shang Qi'er's heart was filled with joy: "If you escort me back to the host road, you will still be the owner of the manor, right? I will give you a few more slaves!"
Ba Wu was a little dissatisfied, he originally wanted to agree.
I only heard Dongri Malang beside Bawu say:
"Ba Wu, let your soldiers bring out food to serve the nobles here!"
Dongri Malang's tone was stern, giving orders to Ba Wu Yi just like he did in the military camp.
Ba Wu lowered his head silently, but thought of Monk Yuantong's words.
All people are created equal.
Shang Qi Xin'er encouraged Ba Wu, but seemed unwilling to waste words with this lowly Tubo warrior, so she asked him to go back immediately to rectify the soldiers and protect them in setting up camp.
Bawu walked back to the woods, and immediately several of his men surrounded him.
"Brother Bawu, how are you doing?"
Bawu looked at the soldiers around him, sat down and said, "Gather the backbone, let's have a meeting."
Backbone meetings are something Ba Wu learned from Monk Yuantong.
He has made up his mind, but in order for 300 people to follow his lead, he must hold a meeting to unify his thoughts.
The most prestigious cadres in the defeated army sat around Ba Wu.
Ba Wu extinguished the torch so that no one could see each other's faces.
Bawu then said: "There is a big discussion in that team."
"Big talk?"
Everyone started talking about it. Shang Qixin'er was quite prestigious in the East, and many ordinary soldiers still respected him.
Bawu lied and said, "Da Lun asked us to offer the food."
After saying this, he immediately became quiet.
The people of the Tang Dynasty were clearing the wilderness in Hexi. They fled all the way without collecting anything to eat.
They can barely satisfy their hunger by relying on wild vegetables and fruits, but now Dalu wants them to sacrifice all the food?
The crowd was excited and the atmosphere gradually became tense.
Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Bawu continued:
"There are only about a hundred people around Da Lun."
Ba Wu's tone was calm, but it revealed awe-inspiring murderous intentions.
Everyone immediately stopped talking. After a long time, one person pinched his throat and said:
"They are all raised by nature, why do you want us to hand over our food!"
"Yes! That's it! Why do you want us to hand over the food!"
The discussion became heated, and gradually some people began to say outrageous things.
"Isn't defeat the responsibility of Dalu?"
"If Daize hadn't been that good-for-nothing and couldn't hold off the battle, would there have been such a big defeat?"
"Dai Ze has been defeated again and again. What a holy family! Bullshit!"
“You’re still making a big deal about this!”
Seeing that the emotions were almost there, Ba Wu just said lightly:
"There are horses and horsemeat over there."
The scene was quiet for a while, and finally someone pulled out a knife.
"Boss Bawu, we are with you!"
Ba Wu smiled in the darkness and said, "The story is about encountering an ambush by the Tang army in the mountains and forests."
"That's right!"
While Shang Qixin'er was still enjoying the horse meat, Dongri Malang reported that Ba Wu was back again.
Shang Qixin'er wiped the oil on her hands and was about to meet the low-level warrior again.
Suddenly there was a cry of killing, and he heard screams one after another.
"Bawu!" Dongri Malang looked at the long knife pierced into his abdomen, pointed at Bawu and said.
Bawu smiled coldly, and then soldiers rushed up and chopped off Dongri Malang's head.
There were many noble officers among Shang Qixin'er's men, and they were no match for the wolf-like soldiers.
Among these one hundred people, the most adept at fighting were Gar's personal guards.
But Shang Qixin'er was afraid that Gar would be harmful to her, so she asked Gar to camp behind with his men.
Gar was also afraid that Shang Qixin'er would kill him and seize his personal guards, so he camped far away.
Hearing the sound of slashing and killing, the alert Gar immediately called his men.
"Go quickly!"
Although he didn't know what happened, Gal knew that he couldn't control others at this time.
He immediately led his men to flee the battlefield.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Shang Qixin'er's men were all killed.
Shang Qixin'er looked at Ba Wu under the torch, knelt on the ground and said:
"Don't kill Ben Lun! I will make you the master of the manor after you return!"
"No! Lord of the Castle! I will entrust the most fertile place to you!"
Seeing Shang Qixin'er kneeling down to beg for mercy, Bawu felt even more bored.
It turns out that you can also beg for mercy even if you talk arrogantly.
Bawu didn't hesitate, he raised his knife and chopped off Shang Qixin'er's head.
Then Bawu said: "Take everything away and hang the body and head on the tree. They can delay the Tang army's pursuit."
With the captured grain, gold and silver, Bawu led his people to withdraw from the forest overnight.
Early the next morning, the cavalry regiment led by Zheng He came to this forest under the guidance of hounds.
Seeing the head hanging high in the forest, Zheng He compared the reward and quickly determined the identity of Shang Qixin'er.
Shang Qi’s heart is dead?!
Apparently she died due to internal strife, so Zheng He quickly ordered his men to put down Shang Qixin'er's head.
Then he wrapped the other heads on the tree, sprinkled them with lime, dried them, and immediately sent them to Zhangye City.
At this moment, Li Yan, who was in Shazhou City, received a prompt from the system.
