Chapter 503: Coercion, inducement and refusal to give in
Zhai Bin's expression changed drastically and he was speechless for a moment. Zhai Zhen said sharply: "Tan, what do you mean? Do you want to massacre our people?"
Tan Pingzhi's face was expressionless, but his tone showed a firmness that was unquestionable and irrefutable: "The moment you raised your butcher knife towards the people of Jin Dynasty, you should have known that you would also have such a day.
.My Brother Liu is a man of loyalty and rekindling old friendships. Since you have said that this matter was not ordered by you, but by your subordinates, then fine, I will let your surname Zhai live, and your subordinates will be dealt with by us."
The wrinkles on Zhai Bin's face were trembling, and he said sternly: "These are our Zhai Bu sons. Even if they make some mistakes, I can't leave them behind. Otherwise, how will I face their families and explain to them when I go back?"
Why haven't you come back? How can a leader who has lost the trust of his tribe and betrayed his subordinates to the enemy continue to do so?"
Tan Pingzhi said coldly: "That's your problem, not mine! If you do what our general wants, none of you will survive. Brother Liu is showing mercy to you because of his old friendship. Brothers are already very fond of you."
You have an opinion! You know, most of our Beifu army came from the Huaihe and Huaihe areas. Many of the people you massacred were the family members and relatives of our brothers. They were all red-eyed and wanted revenge. If Brother Liu hadn't stopped them
Come on, you will be dead by now!"
Zhai Bin's lips were trembling. He glanced in Liu Yu's direction. More than a thousand armored soldiers were motionless. They couldn't even hear their breathing. However, a terrible murderous intention came from this silent army.
Zhai Bin floated over. He has been fighting all his life. He naturally knows how to do it. Generally speaking, the louder the noise on the battlefield is, the more courageous he is to embolden himself, but it is not so scary. Only this kind of silent army can be
Like lightning flashing across the night sky, what followed was a thunderous strike!
Zhai Bin gritted his teeth: "Brother Tan, can you guarantee that if we leave the Zhai family, you will not pursue us?"
Tan Pingzhi smiled slightly: "Brother Liu's words are always true. However, we can only guarantee that within a radius of five miles, within the jurisdiction of our army, we will not pursue you. But if other troops want to attack you, then
We can't stop it. After all, Brother Liu is only the leader of this army, not the commander of the entire army. It is best for you to go directly to the west, bypass Hu Bin's camp, and then turn to the north. This will not interfere with our search.
The troops encountered. In fact, even if I wanted to let you go, it would be impossible. With a large group of infantry, you can't escape. Only you Zhai clan members can escape on horseback, and you can escape two to three hundred people without attracting attention.
."
Zhai Bin closed his eyes. His mind was spinning rapidly, judging the pros and cons. Zhai Zhen did not dare to speak at this time. He looked at Tan Pingzhi angrily. After a long while, Zhai Bin opened his eyes and sighed.
He breathed: "That's all, I promise you. Zhai Zhen, go and pass the order quickly, gather all the war horses of the army, and ride them with our nephews and personal guards. After a while, you will follow my order and take the opportunity to leave."
Zhai Zhen said anxiously: "Uncle, please think about it again. What if they change their mind? Those are the ten thousand strongest warriors in our tribe!"
Zhai Bin gritted his teeth: "In the current situation, people can eat us without any tricks at all. Now that they are willing to spare our lives, just be satisfied and don't think too much about anything else!"
As he spoke, he said to Tan Pingzhi: "Brother Tan, I, Zhai Bin, will definitely remember your kindness today. Thank you Brother Liu for me, and say that Zhai Bin and my Zhai family will never forget tonight."
kindness!"
As he spoke, he bowed and turned around to leave. Tan Pingzhi suddenly said: "Wait a minute, big-headed man, there is one more thing."
Zhai Bin's expression changed, and he turned around and forced out a smile: "Any other advice?"
Tan Pingzhi curled up his lips: "Brother Liu said that the reason for letting Datou Zhai go this time is to honor the old kindness, and on the other hand, hey, I hope that Datou Zhai will be useful in the future.
actions.”
Zhai Bin softly said "Oh": "Making a difference? All my tribesmen will be thrown here to be slaughtered by you. When I go back, I will only be the leader of a small tribe with hundreds of tribesmen. It depends on whether I can survive or not."
To put a question mark, it is very likely that we will have to leave our hometown and return to our homeland. Now that we are living in peace in the Western Regions, what else can we talk about making a difference?"
Tan Pingzhi said with a smile: "Zhai Datou, please don't fool me. When did your Ding Ling Zhai tribe have the strength of ten thousand people? Even when I went to your place, you still told me that you had string control."
We have tens of thousands of soldiers, and we are on friendly terms with many fort masters in the Yuzhou area. If something happens, we can easily mobilize 100,000 to 80,000 troops. How come we forgot about it so quickly?"
Zhai Bin curled his lips and shook his head: "I'm just bragging to you. How can I be so strong? Besides, even if you can pull out tens of thousands of people in troubled times, you are not in troubled times now. You Jin and Qin
After the country fights this battle, we return to the north and still have to pay taxes and food to Qin. Moreover, those Wubao owners respect strength. If I have strong soldiers and horses, they will take the initiative to make friends with me. Now my strength is full.
I was sent here, I'm afraid they will attack me in turn, so I want to go back to Kangju."
Tan Pingzhi shook his head: "Big head man, it's useless for you to lie to me, a small officer in Beifu. My brother Liu just asked me to give you a message. He said that this time we defeated the Qin army, and Fu Jian's main force suffered a heavy blow.
Attacks can no longer suppress the various ethnic groups in the north. Therefore, the capable and ambitious heroes should ascend to the top and unite to start an uprising. After our Jin Dynasty completes its rest and reorganization, it will also make an expedition to the north to kill the big-headed people.
People hope that the power can be achieved in the Central Plains area. When the time comes, they will voluntarily join me in the Jin Dynasty without losing the reward of the duke."
Zhai Bin's heart moved: "Can you really defeat Fu Jian? Destroy his army?!"
Tan Pingzhi smiled slightly, pointed behind him in the direction of Liang Cheng's camp, where the flames were soaring into the sky, and said: "If someone had told you before tonight that Liang Cheng's 50,000 elite men were wiped out in one battle, would you believe it?
?”
Zhai Bin sighed: "I don't believe it, but Fu Jian is not Liang Cheng. He has an army of one million. Liang Cheng only has 50,000 people. It is not surprising that he was attacked by the entire Beifu army and defeated. It's just that he died overnight."
The collapse is a bit unexpected."
Tan Pingzhi laughed: "Liang Cheng's fifty thousand troops are the elite of the Qin army, and they are mainly Di troops. Although Fu Jian has hundreds of thousands of troops, he can really rely on only ten Di troops.
Several hundred thousand, including the Murong family, the Yao family, the Tuoba family, the Qifu family, and you, Zhai Datou, have been suffering from Qin for a long time. They were suppressed by their force in the past, but now the Qin army is weakened.
, do you want to continue to work hard for him and die?"
