Chapter 949: came back
Chapter 949 is back
Turkic Khan Ashina Zanzhi received this letter with a heavy heart.
The two countries are at war without killing the envoys.
This is the rule.
But when he saw this letter, Zanji felt something was wrong.
There is no news from Yeluqi so far, and no one has escaped back.
Five thousand soldiers and horses and Yeluqi have not been heard from.
It is difficult to judge whether it is life or death.
This letter is no different from the previous one, and it is still asking them to pay ransom and slave horses in exchange for their people.
Of course, there is one more Yeluqi on the list this time.
And the other party's conditions have more than doubled.
Zanzhi knew in his heart that he was afraid that his general Yeluqi would also be captured.
No news means a complete victory.
This time, he no longer dared to send troops hastily. The 5,000 soldiers and horses led by Yeluqi were all strong.
It comes without any return and makes no sound.
The spies he sent out inquired for a long time, but no one knew the whereabouts of Yeluqi.
We only know that the soldiers and horses sent by Yeluqi have arrived at the other side's village, but there is no news anymore.
Of course, some people say that the lightning and thunder that day were the heavenly soldiers and generals who conquered Yeluqi.
No matter what happened, Yeluqi must be in someone else's hands now. Since he dared to send a letter, he must be in someone else's hands.
Zanzhi had no choice but to call all the other ministers together to discuss what to do.
The Turks have encountered heavy snowfall this year that is rare in ten years. Under this kind of weather, they do not even have enough food. There were not enough horses, so they froze to death, and countless cattle and sheep suffered frostbite.
Now such a heavy ransom has to be added. Although they can definitely get it out, the impact on them will be far-reaching.
It is definitely impossible not to redeem people. Both Yeluqi and Hamud are important officials of their royal family.
At that time, it will chill the hearts of the tribesmen who follow him.
After a meeting, they determined that it must have been done by the defenders of Yanmen Pass.
These southerners are so cunning that they actually want to deceive them into thinking that ordinary villagers did this. How is this possible?
If ordinary people had such fighting power, why would they dare to bully the southerners like this?
There are not many **** Southerners.
Without knowing what magical means the other party used, they certainly would not dare to act rashly. I had to obediently take away all the horses, cattle, sheep and slaves. They all drove away.
Jiang Xiaoxiao and the others were so excited that they received over 10,000 horses at once.
Moreover, they are all the strongest Huns horses.
Also, 50,000 southern slaves were received in one fell swoop.
Although most of them are women, children and the elderly, these are the population after all.
As long as they are given time to recuperate, these people can be a full workforce.
They have opened up so much wasteland, and all the mountains have been developed by Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Not only planting trees, but also raising chickens, ducks, pigs, and cattle!
All in the form of free-range breeding.
These new labor forces will naturally be able to create more wealth in the future.
Jiang Xiaoxiao felt pain in his heart when he looked at the slaves with numb expressions and ragged clothes.
Being held as slaves, these people have long lost their fighting spirit and are probably living like cattle and sheep. Even now that they have returned to the Southland, they still gather together cautiously.
Looking around vigilantly, no one dared to speak loudly, and no one dared to do anything excessive.
Looking at the familiar place, they were filled with surprise.
How could those Turks send them back in good condition?
A lot of times letting them leave meant death, and sometimes the Turkic nobles did it for fun.
They would pick out some of the strong men or children among their slaves, drive them away, let them run, and hunt them as if they were prey, with surprise and uncertainty along the way.
The result is here.
No one could believe that they had escaped.
Jiang Xiaoxiao led someone to distribute porridge to them. These people had not eaten for a long time. When everyone received the bowl of porridge shivering with a broken bowl, they couldn't believe it.
In their eyes, all they can eat are soups made from grass seeds, roots, bark and the like.
Sometimes if you are lucky and accidentally catch a field mouse, or a rabbit, your life can be improved in everyone's soup.
Of course, there are also those meatless bones thrown to him by the slave-owning nobles for their own entertainment purposes. They will also cook them into the soup, which will at least satisfy their stomachs.
They are worse than those cattle, sheep, pigs and horses.
In the eyes of the Turks, although they are called two-legged sheep, they are not as good as sheep at all, and they are not worthy of eating the grass like sheep.
They have no right to eat food.
The Turks’ food is very precious, so naturally it is impossible to give it to them.
But the bowl of porridge in front of them now is clearly thick porridge.
The chopsticks won’t fall over when inserted into them.
Having not eaten such food in many years, everyone was in a daze holding the meal in front of them, wondering if they would die immediately after eating this bowl of rice.
No one dared to move their chopsticks. Everyone watched silently as the bowl of porridge in front of them changed from piping hot to lukewarm.
No matter how Li Tieniu, Lin Dawang and others tried to persuade them, these people ate quickly. But no one dared to move.
Li Tieniu, Lin Dawang and others felt the same way. These people no longer looked like human beings, they were just like wooden people.
A word or an instruction, and they will definitely follow it.
At the slightest loud noise, everyone will huddle together like a frightened bird. It seems that this is the only way to feel safe.
Jiang Xiaoxiao felt heartbroken when he saw this scene.
He walked over, took a broken bowl directly to the big pot, filled a large bowl of porridge with a spoon, and came in front of everyone with chopsticks.
These people watched her every move silently. Although they did not speak, they looked around with vigilant eyes.
No movement escapes their eyes.
It is because of this kind of vigilance that they can survive to this day.
What is that person going to do?
Jiang Xiaoxiao came in front of everyone, "You are all our brothers and sisters, our fathers and brothers. You are afraid, you are worried, you are afraid that there is poison in this rice. I will eat it to show you. I want to tell you, you go home Yes, back to my relatives.
From now on, you can have enough food and clothing, and you can live an upright life. You are no longer a two-legged sheep. "
Jiang Xiaoxiao quickly ate the bowl of half-warm porridge. When she started to choke, the others finally made a move, and tears filled their eyes.
Looking at Jiang Xiaoxiao eating the bowl of porridge, he raised the empty bowl.
Have clear eyes and an upright demeanor.
With tears in their eyes, they began to swallow the porridge in the bowl with force. Although it was cold, in their eyes, it was extremely delicious.
They are back.
