Tang's dining table

Chapter 397 Dawn of Empire

"Hululu..."

The bay-red horse roared in a low voice, blowing out bursts of white smoke from its thick nostrils, and stepping on the frozen ground with its hooves.

Yun Chu, who was wearing a thick black bear skin, was sitting on a maroon horse, looking down at a group of similarly furry people at the foot of the mountain.

Wen Wen doesn't like heavy bearskin fur clothes. He prefers red fox fur clothes. He also wraps his head with a fox fur hood, only half of his face is exposed. He rides a black horse and is not as good as Na. Ha's Wuzui horse is a divine horse, but it's not that different.

"Did you wash your butt when you came out today?" Wen Wen asked Yun Chu as he looked down at Xi Ren down the hillside.

Yun Chu smiled and said, "It's cold, so it's hard to take a shower frequently."

She smiled softly and said: "Today there will be a so-called king coming to lick your butt. If it is not washed, it may cause some trouble to this king."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "No need, the Xi people are quite respectful to the Tang Dynasty. As long as they intend to move to Yingzhou, I will not embarrass them."

Wen Wen looked at the pile of furry humans and said, "I hope they can understand each other a little bit. The barbarians have killed me these days and my hands have become soft."

What do these people think? As long as they go to Yingzhou to participate in Datang's plan to develop Liaodong, they can smoothly become Datang people. Why do they have to resist such a good thing? "

Yun Chu said: "The imperial court has determined to incorporate the four counties of Liaodong into its territory, and has also made preparations to send officials to govern this place. Unfortunately, this place is vast and sparsely populated. If you want to run it well, you need a population.

There cannot be another Goguryeo in the land of Liaodong. This has formed a unified opinion in the court.

There was no choice but to bring the barbarians here under the jurisdiction of the Yingzhou Governor's Mansion. In this way, after one hundred and eighty years, this place would truly be integrated with the Tang Dynasty. "

"What a pity. Xue Rengui killed every Khitan, and you killed every Mohe. The two most numerous tribes on this land have completely disappeared. Otherwise, there would be no shortage of people."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "People from small tribes will rely on the strong to survive, while large tribes will only leave behind troubles.

Come and ask King Xiren if he is willing to move to Yingzhou. "

Immediately, a cavalryman carrying a flag rushed down the hillside and shouted to King Xi Ren at the foot of the mountain: "General Dingyuan has an order, ordering Xi Ren to move to Yingzhou immediately without delay."

After a while, an old barbarian with white hair and beard walked out from the crowd, touched his chest to Yun Chu in the distance and saluted: "Dear General, this is the land Xi Ren saw from the moment he was born, and the water we drink is here. The water here comes from here, and the prey we eat comes from here. General, where do you want us to go?"

Yunchu didn't like the attitude of the King of Xiren very much. He didn't want to kill more people, so he patiently said to the King of Xiren: "The King of Xiren, Kedu, had led his people to join our army more than ten years ago. Tang.

Emperor Taizong established the Raole Dudufu in his area, and established five states in Xiwubu. The Raole Dudufu was under the jurisdiction of the Dongyi Duhufu in Yingzhou.

Now, allowing you to move to Yingzhou is a sign of the Tang Dynasty's love for you.

After going to Yingzhou, you can join your tribe and no longer have to live in this snow-covered place.

Moreover, as long as you arrive in Yingzhou, you will be my subjects of the Tang Dynasty. From now on, no one will disturb you no matter whether you are grazing cattle, building cars, or plowing the fields.

Again, this is good governance, not meant to deceive you. "

King Xi Ren looked at Yun Chu sadly and said: "General, squirrels can't survive without pine trees, fish can't survive without water, goshawks can't survive without the sky, Xi Ren can't survive without their homeland.

I also asked the general to show mercy and allow the Xi people to continue grazing, building cars, hunting, and playing the piano here. "

Yun Chu said calmly: "Are you really willing to die here rather than join up with your Xi Ren King?"

King Xiren opened his arms and said: "General, please kill me before allowing Xiren to live here."

Yunchu did not answer King Xiren's words. He gently urged his war horse to take two steps forward, unfolded a document and read: "The Commander-in-Chief of the March of Liaodong Road issued an order: Order Xiren's troops to move to Yingzhou immediately, without any mistake!"

King Xi Ren said sadly and angrily: "Heavy snow has covered the earth. Even though Xi's car is good, he can't find a feasible road. The young and middle-aged people may be able to walk to Yingzhou. The general wants those young people to abandon us old people and go alone." Heading on?"

Yun Chu raised his hand, and the cavalry arrayed on the hill took out their bows and arrows. As long as Yun Chu gave the order again, they would immediately make these people disappear.

When the Xi people saw the cavalry taking out their bows and arrows, they immediately started a commotion. A group of strong Xi people immediately rushed up and dragged the old Xi people back, who was too close.

Wen Wen watched the Xi people on the opposite side take out their weapons and confront Yun Chubu. She cursed in her heart and said to Yun Chu: "We didn't rob their livestock, we didn't rob their wealth, and we didn't rob them. Why can't they listen to the women they treat as treasures?

If Guo Daifeng had come here instead, these people would have died a long time ago. You think, because we said a few more words to him, they started to climb along the pole? "

Yun Chu's raised arms never lowered. He looked at Xi Ren's chaotic defense formation at the foot of the mountain and shouted again: "King Xi Ren, listen, this is the last warning, the last warning, Immediately lead the whole clan to follow the Tang army and move to Yingzhou, otherwise, we will be killed without mercy!"

The King of Xiren came out of it, holding a hammer in his hand, standing at the front of all the Xiren, holding up the hammer and saying: "We are not convinced!"

Hearing these words that King Xi Ren shouted heartbreakingly, Yun Chu immediately put down his arms, and then, behind him, a hail of arrows flew towards the King Xi Ren and the Xi Ren people who claimed to be dissatisfied. shrouded.

Immediately, the cavalry on both sides of Yun Chu, led by Zhang Donghai and Wang Defa, attacked the group of Xi people who were not sure whether they were civilians or soldiers.

The last sentence that King Xiren shouted - I don't accept it, it's very fatal. Li Ji, the general manager of the Liaodong Road March, hates hearing these three words now.

He brought 260,000 troops from the Tang Dynasty, and later added 120,000 troops, for a total of 380,000 troops to Liaodong, just to kill everyone who said these three words to the Tang army.

If Yun Chu doesn't kill King Xi Ren and Xi Ren today, Li Ji will use military law to kill Yun Chu later.

It was the lesser of two evils, and Yun Chu was unwilling to face Li Ji's military tactics, so he had no choice but to deal with the Xiren King in front of him.

A group of fully armored killing machines, facing a ragtag group of people, can only kill one-sidedly, without any possibility of accidents.

The first person to die on the battlefield was the old Xiren King. Perhaps the cavalry did this on purpose. This old man who bravely made a strong voice of dissatisfaction to the powerful Tang army was immediately killed by a hail of arrows. Covered, when he fell, it was like his body was covered with new bamboo.

Yun Chu, Wen Wen, and Zhong Kui did not personally participate in the killing, nor did the team of bad guys from Wannian County.

Wen Wen didn't want to see the cruel killing, so she pulled down her hood and said, "Why bother?"

Zhong Kui's expression remained normal. Seeing that the killing had reached the second half, he asked Yun Chu, "Is this the meaning of the empire?"

Yun Chu nodded and said: "Such things have happened before, happen now, and will happen again in the future. You can understand it as human nature."

Zhong Kui said: "Why can't we let them fall in love with the Tang Dynasty like us?"

Yunchu sighed and said: "Emperor Taizong tried it, but it didn't work. After his old man Long Yu Bintian, 80% of the Turks who used to submit have betrayed him."

Zhong Kui gritted his teeth and said, "Then, what is the meaning of empire?"

Yun Chu thought for a while and said: "The only meaning of a strong person is to be hated and feared.

Just like sheep and rabbits on the grassland, they are the most popular among people, because they are weak enough and only benefit the strong without any harm.

However, not many people like the lions, leopards, wolves, and hyenas on the grassland.

Because they threaten you, can kill you, and can destroy the balance you create, you won't like them.

The Tang Dynasty is the most powerful among these beasts, so we can force others to leave their homeland, force them to change their original lives, and force them to bow their heads and obey. "

Of course, Zhong Kui, who was a talented scholar, knew the meaning of Yun Chu's words, so he stopped talking and followed Wen Wen's example to turn up his hood, covering his head and eyes.

When the bloody Zhang Donghai and Wang De came over, Yun Chu smelled the strong smell of blood and coughed: "Return the troops to the camp. The migration of the Xiren tribe has been completed."

Wang Defa said: "Some people escaped."

Yun Chu said: "It's not worth letting the army stay in this ice and snow for so few people."

Zhang Donghai puffed out a puff of white smoke and said, "If we don't eradicate the root cause, it will be bad for the general in the future, and he will come as soon as he comes."

After saying that, he led a hundred cavalry and chased after him.

When Yunchu returned to the camp outside Wugu City, he found that the army was still tightly surrounding Wugu City and was in no hurry to attack.

The military order to move the Xi people was given by Li Ji to Yun Chu, so Yun Chu had no choice but to go to the Chinese army's headquarters to give the order.

When he entered the big tent, there were not many people inside. Li Ji was lying on a camp bed, wrapped in thick fur clothes, and reading the military report.

Seeing Yunchu come in, he raised the military report in his hand and said: "Baekje's rebellion has gotten out of hand. That guy named Hei Te Changzhi is really good. Pei Xingjian has no way to deal with him."

General Yunchu returned the order and said lazily: "I won't laugh at Pei Xingjian."

Li Ji rolled his triangular eyes that had drooped due to old age, and said coldly: "You laughed in your heart. In fact, you have long thought that sending you to Baekje is the most appropriate thing, right?"

Yun Chu shook his head resolutely and said, "No, I like to stay and fight under Duke Ying's tent."

Li Ji laughed and said, "Actually, I once recommended you to Lao Su, but...hahahaha...they didn't want you."

Yunchu really didn't know what the old guy's smile was.

After a long time, Li Ji was interrupted by a violent cough. When the cough subsided, he said to Yun Chu: "Don't pick yourself too clean. I'm already old. I don't have a few years left to live. Don't you guys?" Still young, there will be a long time to deal with them in the future. From now on, everyone will still have to rely on Datang to make a good living.

Let me tell you one thing, kid, rebellion is no fun at all. Rebuilding a country is no fun at all.

In the end, you will find that no matter who comes up, it will actually look the same without any difference. "
