Liu Xin laughed and said: "Saadin, Liu told you just now that he would capture Lan Feng's concubine and give it to you to warm your bed. You can't make Liu break his promise!"
"This." Sa'adin hesitated for a moment, then bowed and said, "Then Xiao Wang, thank you for your kindness!"
Although they are both kings, Pishan is much smaller than Dawan. Even if they sit together, Lan Feng would not bother to look at him seriously. Now, he has the opportunity to press Lan Feng's woman under him. Where is Sa'adin? Will he be hypocritical again?
Liu Xin patted Sa'adin on the shoulder, then turned to Huang Zhong and said: "Han Sheng, what's so good about driving a horse? Are you afraid of being scolded by Mrs. Huang when you go back and don't dare to take a concubine? Don't worry. I have the final say in everything!"
Huang Zhong said with a smile: "My lord, you are joking. How dare you bother me with such a trivial matter? It's just that the general has just seen it. The drivers are all good horses. Lan Feng ran away on one of the horses. Unfortunately, the car overturned. Four horses were crushed!"[
Liu Xin didn't know much about horses, but he knew very well what a good horse meant to a general who was charging into battle. Since Huang Zhong said those were good horses, Liu Xin naturally didn't believe it. He nodded and said: "Lan Feng brought a good horse to pull the cart. No wonder he was defeated today. Anyway, good things come in pairs. You can choose one of the horses, and the woman will reward you with it. The other two horses, one will be reserved for evil. Leave one for Yun Chang!"
As a general, Dian Wei rarely had the opportunity to fight in battle. He stayed by Liu Xin's side all day and was reduced to a bodyguard. Liu Xin herself felt a little sorry for him, and now she got three horses at once. Liu Xin naturally wanted to compensate for the good horse and give him one. Guan Yu had complained several times in front of Liu Xin that he was too heavy and even the horses under him were weighed down by him. Originally, Liu Xin He planned to reward Guan Yu with the red rabbit horse left by Lu Bu, but he couldn't make up his mind at the moment, so he simply gave him a good Dawan horse first. As for awarding Lan Feng's woman to Huang Zhong and Sa'adin, it was completely Just to humiliate Lan Feng, who made him go against Liu Xin.
Groups of prisoners were escorted over. Because of the language barrier, the Han army was only responsible for guarding and monitoring. Sa'adin sent people to help identify their identities.
These people are actually ordinary people from Dayuan, Shule, Yarkand and other countries. They usually graze or farm, and are called up temporarily during war. Of course, Liu Xin cannot kill these people at once, like Shule and Yarkand, this time each sent out 10,000 troops, and almost half of the young people in the country were recruited. If all these people were killed, the two countries would be basically finished.
Liu Xin's plan was to treat them differently. When Wei Yan's army arrived later, he would escort the prisoners of Shule and Yarkand to their countries. With these people's personal experience, he could conquer these two countries without any blood. In the future, both Shule and Yarkand will be under the jurisdiction of the Western Region Protectorate. If the people of these two countries want to survive and develop, they cannot do without these young men. As long as these two countries completely surrender to the Han, these captives will always It is to be released.
As for the prisoners of Dayuan, Liu Xin would not let them go easily. As he got closer and closer to Dayuan, Liu Xin also learned more and more about the situation in Dayuan. There were 40 large and small cities in Dayuan. If Liu Xin wanted to capture Dawan, he would have to capture the cities one by one. However, transportation in the desert is inconvenient. Almost the entire Fifth Army came to the Western Regions lightly, and the slightly larger baggage was left in Liangzhou. , not to mention siege equipment such as trebuchets. Without these siege equipment, even if you attack a low city, you will pay heavy casualties. Liu Xin does not want his soldiers to die in a foreign country. He has quietly given up his plan to place Dawan under the jurisdiction of the Western Region Protectorate. Of course, this abandonment is only temporary. When the Central Plains is pacified and the country is prosperous and the people are strong, he will come back.
Although he does not plan to attack Dayuan, Liu Xin still will not release these prisoners back. On the one hand, holding these prisoners will weaken the strength of Dayuan. On the other hand, Liu Xin wants to attack the Uzbeli Mountain Pass and Tulu. Two fortresses were built at Gelt Pass and a large market was built near Wuji City. These prisoners became very good free labor. How could Liu Xin let them go back?
The population of Pishan Kingdom is too small. Although Sa'adin has gathered all the young men and women in the city and put them into the screening work, there are too many prisoners and the progress is not going smoothly. He has just been given a few beauties by Liu Appreciation. Sa'adin's enthusiasm was also at an all-time high. He hurriedly confessed his crime to Liu Xin and joined the screening process.
Not long after, Liu Xin heard a noise coming from the other side, and then saw Sa'adin walking over excitedly, imitating the Han people, cupping his hands, and said: "Sir, Gu Muji, Gu Muji has been arrested. Stay!"
Liu Xin touched her head and asked in confusion: "Who is Gu Muji!"
Sa'addin rubbed his hands and said: "Gumuji is the King of Shache!"
Yarkand and Pishan are close neighbors, and they usually bully Pishan. They often ask Pishan to pay tribute here and there. Of course Saadin is reluctant, but his fists are not as strong as others, so what if he can't bear to swallow his words? Now he's fine, he Not even a few days after hugging Liu Xin's thigh, King Gumuki of Shache actually became his prisoner. Thinking of this, he wanted to jump up and shout three times, even though King Shache was not captured by Sa'adin. But subconsciously, Sa'adin had regarded Gumuki as his prisoner, complaining that Gumuki had bullied him too harshly over the years.
Failure to catch Lan Feng did make Liu Xin a little regretful. When she heard that Gu Muji had not been able to escape, Liu Xin couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "Quick, take me to see him!"
King Gumuki of Yarkand was very frustrated. He was sitting in Lan Feng's huge carriage drinking wine, imagining what treasures he could snatch from the Han mission after entering the city. Then the Han took the initiative to attack. Holding his own cavalry, he could no longer hold on, so he had to put down his wine cup and step forward to suppress the formation himself. However, he was completely defeated. Lan Feng ran away. Of course Gu Muji also wanted to run, but he had already rushed to the front, and his horse was not fast enough. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough. Knowing that he was outmatched, he quickly threw away the scimitar in his hand, knelt down and begged for surrender. Then, taking advantage of others' unpreparedness, he took off his gorgeous coat and peeled off a piece of blood-stained light armor from the dead man. Put it on.
Although Gumuki dressed up as a soldier and hid in the crowd inconspicuously, and the soldiers under him did not dare to expose him, unfortunately, Sa'adin showed his dedication and came to screen the prisoners in person. Recognized him.
Liu Xin circled around Gu Muji, who was covered in blood, and smiled up at the sky. Suddenly his face darkened, and he said coldly: "Gu Muji, Liu has good intentions and wants to rebuild the Western Regions Protectorate, and serve as the foundation for the countries in the Western Regions." When the common people seek some welfare, you can only stand in the way, but you are so mad that you sent people pretending to be horse bandits to ambush Liu, and now you are raising a large number of troops. Do you really know how to live or die?"
Facing Liu Xin's rebuke, Gu Muji couldn't help but change his expression, but he immediately lowered his head and said in a low voice: "My lord, forgive me, Xiao Wang also supports the reconstruction of the Protectorate, and also wants to return to the rule of the Han Dynasty. It's just that King Lanfeng of Dawan relied on his strong troops and horses to force Xiao Wang to deal with the adults with him, Xiao Wang Nai..."
Liu Xin snorted coldly, and before he could finish speaking, she kicked him to the ground and said loudly: "Whoever listens to your nonsense, come here, drag him out and chop him!"
Only then did Gu Muji panic, and he kowtowed repeatedly: "Sir, have mercy on me, Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang knows where Campbellin is!" [
Sa'adin came to Liu Xin and whispered: "Cambellin is King Shule!"
Liu Xin said "Oh", raised her hand, stopped the two soldiers who were about to drag Gu Muji out, and said: "Then tell me, where is he!"
Gu Muji breathed a sigh of relief after narrowly escaping death. He pointed at another group of prisoners not far away and said, "Sir, the fifth one in the middle row is there!"
Sa'adin was quite discerning. Without waiting for Liu Xin's instructions, he ran over three steps at a time and slipped the prisoner out. After a closer look, it turned out to be Campbellin, who was the same as Gu Mu. He went to hold down his army with Gumuki, and he also abandoned his weapons and surrendered with Gumuki. Although he was better at disguise than Gumji and hid it from Saadin, he could not hide it from Gumji, who was always close to him.
Liu Xin looked at Gu Muji and Campbellin who were dressed as ordinary soldiers without saying a word. Suddenly he raised his hand and waved twice. Several soldiers like wolves and tigers rushed forward and killed the two kings. Drag it up from the ground and walk towards the city gate.
Gu Muji seemed to realize something and shouted loudly: "Sir, you can't do this. You promised me, you can't kill me..."
Several soldiers ignored them and continued to drag them towards the city gate. Without Liu Xin's order, it was useless even if they screamed.
"Wait a minute." Liu Xin suddenly stopped the two soldiers, walked up to them again, and said coldly, "Gu Muji, Liu will let you know clearly today. When did Liu say that he would spare you?" Life, if you can tell me clearly, Liu will really let you go!"
Gu Muji seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and kowtowed repeatedly: "Just now, Xiao Wang identified Campbellin. In any case, it can be regarded as atonement. Sir, you..."
At this point, he suddenly couldn't talk anymore. It turned out that he had always been wishful thinking, thinking that if he bit out Campbellin, Liu Xin would let him go, but Liu Xin really didn't agree to anything. It was him who didn't put forward any conditions. He couldn't wait to point it out to Campbellin. He was looking at a loss. He didn't know where he had exposed himself. Finally, Saadin caught him. Campbellin finally understood that it was Gumuki who betrayed him. He couldn't help but He cursed loudly and struggled to rush towards Gumuki, but two soldiers held him down tightly, so he could only jump on the spot and spat on Gumuki's face without warning.
Liu Xin glanced at the two down-and-out kings who were biting dogs, turned around, and waved his hands gently. Several soldiers were about to ask them to drag them up, but Huang Zhong said loudly: "Master, wait a minute."
