Chapter 420 The future of the barbarians
Wulianghe sat upright on the horse's back, looking at Kou Yi with a gloomy face. The atmosphere between the two was a little nervous for a moment.
In the case of the unification of the barbarians, Wulianghe did not take the initiative to take a walk outside. In order to keep a low profile, he deliberately blocked the news, and even some tribes made continued wars in order not to attract the attention of the Great Zhou.
But now, Kou Yi directly called himself the lord of the barbarian race, which shows that Kou Yi must be very clear about the things on the grassland, and he could not hide the tricks he had done from him at all.
And if this is the case, then Kou Yi's purpose of sending troops this time will be difficult to say.
Wulianghe looked at Kou Yi coldly for a long time. Just as the entourages on both sides were a little nervous and touched the weapon, Wulianghe's face suddenly eased a little, and she showed a faint smile, saying, "I didn't expect that Old General Kou has retired for so long and is still so concerned about what I have on the grassland."
"I like the title of Barbarian Lord very much, but I can't afford it now. At least your Great Zhou court thinks I can't afford it."
Speaking of this, Wulianghe looked at Kou Yi sarcastically and said, "Otherwise, the 40,000 General Kou's troops will be here this time. Are you right?"
Kou Yi pointed out Wulianghe's identity in words. Wulianghe did not show weakness, but directly suggested Kou Yi that the court did not believe his words, otherwise with the importance of the Great Zhou Dynasty on the barbarians, he would definitely send heavy troops out of the way.
But now, Kou Yi is the only one who comes, which means that this matter is probably the one who brought Kou Yi with his prestige, otherwise there wouldn't be only this kind of person.
After hearing Wulianghe's words, Kou Yi couldn't help but look slightly dark. However, he naturally wouldn't say much to Wulianghe about the court, so he brought Mo Zizai directly to his words and said, "You are just a clown who jumps over the beam, and it's worth fighting against me in the Great Zhou Dynasty?"
"I have 40,000 people, which is enough to pacify your Taichiwu tribe."
"This doesn't seem like something that comes out of the mouth of General Kou."
Wu Lianghe, who was scolded as a clown in the jumping beam, was not angry at all, but instead laughed directly, "Gen. Kou has been dealing with our barbarians for a lifetime. Whether we are clowns, is Mr. Kou known best, so this is definitely not what Mr. Kou said."
"Let me think about it."
Wulianghe sat on the back of the horse, gently shook the whip in his hand, and slowly spoke: "In the current Great Zhou Dynasty, although the throne belongs to the empress, the real person in charge seems to be the young prince who had just been confined, right?"
"Just just returned to the palace, I cut off more than half of the heads of the court ministers and destroyed the aristocratic families and royal relatives in the three places. It should be normal for such a 'young and promising' prince to be arrogant, so what is the prince used to reply to you, General Kou?"
"Hahaha……"
Kou Yi looked at Wulianghe who was laughing, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, but this was not because Wulianghe guessed the fact that he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone. The reason why he really wanted to kill Wulianghe was that while fighting on the grassland, this person was also very familiar with the situation of the Great Zhou. This shows that Wulianghe had long been coveting the Great Zhou, and this person would definitely not be able to stay.
But Kou Yi glanced at the army behind Wulianghe, and felt helpless again.
Wulianghe brought nearly 100,000 people this time. Although I don’t know who were the elite troops of Wulianghe’s headquarters, it can be seen from their neat military formation that these soldiers, regardless of whether they were elite or not, were somewhat different from the scattered barbarian soldiers in the past.
So what he should consider now is not how to kill Gulianghe, but how should he hold on with Gulianghe for too long next time.
"I didn't expect that the Barbarian Lord still knows so well about my Great Zhou affairs, which is rare."
Because he was in a bad mood, Kou Yi was too lazy to argue and said to Wulianghe, "But the Barbarian Lord asked me to come out this time. If I just want to say this, I will forgive me for not being with me."
Seeing that Kou Yi was about to leave, Wulianghe quickly spoke out and stopped him: "Let's wait, Senior General Kou, I invite Senior General Kou to come this time, but I actually have something to discuss."
"I am not familiar with you, so I have so many old things to talk about."
Kou Yi, who had no patience, was not as polite as before, and directly spoke, "So you can just talk about it if you have something to do, there is no need to mess around."
Although Wulianghe knew that Kou Yi was so angry that he was stimulated by what he said, he looked at Kou Yi's ruthless attitude, but his face turned pale with anger, and the horse whip in his hand was almost crushed into powder.
But he thought about Kou Yi's identity and the consequences of surrounding and killing Kou Yi's 40,000 troops here, and he swallowed the breath again.
"Gen. Kou, I want to ask, why do you want to use troops against my barbarians for no reason this time?"
"No reason?"
Kou Yi snorted and said, "I also want to ask you, why did I get slaughtered for no reason in the Seven Towns of Dazhou?"
"This incident was done by some rebellion by our barbarians, and was to arouse hatred between the Great Zhou and our barbarians."
When Wulianghe heard Kou Yi say this, a smile appeared on his face, and then continued: "Of course, I know that just by saying this simply, I will definitely not be able to convince General Kou."
"So in order to show the sincerity of my barbarians, I am willing to kill those rebels himself. If they are not available for seven days, they will definitely send their heads to the people who died in the Great Zhou Dynasty."
After saying this, Wu Lianghe did not wait for Kou Yi to speak, and continued, "If Senior General Kou is not satisfied, you can choose the tribes near Tianmenguan that day. As long as you say that there is a tribe that has attacked the Great Zhou Dynasty, there is no need for evidence. I will slaughter them directly and send the heads to Senior General Kou. I wonder what General Kou wants?"
Kou Yi was shocked when he heard that Wulianghe would say this.
Before Wulianghe came, he had already slaughtered six barbarian tribes, so he didn't believe Wulianghe didn't know. But now, Wulianghe not only did not mention this, but was very assigned to arrest the rebels. He even proposed that as long as Kou Yi felt that any tribe was not favored, he could kill that tribe himself to calm Kou Yi's anger.
From this perspective, Urianhe's attitude is not low, and his sincerity is not insufficient.
But the problem is that Kou Yi is now here to find fault. No matter how sincere Wulianghe is, he will never agree.
So Kou Yi was silent for a moment and said, "Master Man, if there was a baby wolf by your side, would you let it grow up and eat you?"
Hearing this sentence Kou Yi asked, the smile on Uryu He's face suddenly calmed down. On the way to encircle Kou Yi this time, he thought about it for a long time and finally decided to put aside his prestige among the barbarians first.
After all, his prestige among the barbarians was achieved by himself. No matter how big the barbarians had to say about him, as long as his army was in hand, the barbarians would not dare to disobey his orders. Therefore, in the future, they only needed to bring real benefits to the barbarians, and then his prestige would naturally come back.
Wulianghe learned this from Mo Zizai. After all, Mo Zizai dared to kill ministers at will, so why could he, as a barbarian master, sacrifice the barbarian tribe for the benefit of the barbarians?
Of course, Urage He felt that there was still a difference between him and Mo Zizai. The most important point was that Urage He felt that his army was stronger than Mo Zizai. If he sacrificed the barbarian tribe at will, he would guarantee that no one would dare to speak in front of him, and no one would dare to jump out and rebel.
It is precisely because of this that he compromised so much, and even offered those conditions in a little humble manner, so that he would not have conflicts with the Great Zhou for the time being, so that when the Great Zhou was weak, he would stab the Great Zhou hard, or even stab the Great Zhou to death directly.
However, after hearing Kou Yi’s question about the young wolf, he knew that when he came, the worst plan had happened.
Kou Yi, the old bastard, wanted to let these 40,000 people die here, and then attract the attention of the Great Zhou court.
Moreover, this bastard may have spread the news of his barbarian unification. When 40,000 of them died in the hands of them, the people he arranged in advance would be publicized. At that time, the public opinion would be reversed. Regardless of whether the court or the aristocratic families were willing or not, they would have to put aside their grudges and resolve our barbarians.
This old bastard doesn’t even care about his own life, so cruel!
Wulianghe looked at Kou Yi with gritted teeth, but he did not dare to act rashly. Kou Yi looked at Wulianghe with ugly expression, but did not say a word, and then turned around and was about to leave.
"Let's wait!!!"
Wulianghe called Kou Yi again, but when he spoke this time, the horse whip in his hand turned into powder, but Wulianghe didn't care at all, but said with a ferocious face: "Yanling Mountain, I will give up Yanling Mountain, it's enough!!!"
Kou Yi, who had just turned his head and was about to leave, heard Wulianghe's words and froze on the horse's back. Then he turned his head, looked at Wulianghe in disbelief, and asked, "What did the Barbarian Lord just say?"
"I said, I will give up Yanling Mountain and let my barbarians retreat behind Yanling Mountain!"
Wulianghe looked at Kou Yi with red eyes and said word by word: "In this way, can you relieve Senior General Kou? Can you convince Senior General Kou that my barbarians have no desire to covet the Great Zhou?"
Yanling Mountain is the second largest mountain on the grassland except Tianzhu Mountain, and it is also the second holy mountain chosen by these grassland barbarians from Tianzhu Mountain. This mountain is not only extraordinary in the minds of the barbarians, but also has a very important geographical location.
Back then, the Great Zhou army on the grasslands was only at the farthest point to the foot of Yanling Mountain. No one could lead his troops to capture the steep Yanling Mountain.
But then again, the dangerous terrain of Yanling Mountain is not only for the people of the Great Zhou, but also for the barbarians. If Wulianghe gave up this mountain, unless the soldiers of the Great Zhou were killed, the barbarians would not be able to take a step out of Yanling Mountain.
"Are you the Barbarian Lord happy for me?"
No matter how Kou Yi thought about it, he felt something was wrong. Although his 40,000 troops were all elite, for Wulianghe, eating people like him was just a matter of how much loss he had paid, and it was not worth worrying about.
As for the Great Zhou Dynasty, if they really fight the barbarians, although the barbarians have little chance of winning, they are not without the power to fight.
So Kou Yi thought about it for a long time and felt that Wulianghe's concession was simply unreasonable. Could it be that he wanted to delay time?
Looking at Kou Yi's suspicious gaze, Wulianghe calmed down and his face became much calmer. "To be honest, I have studied in the Great Zhou for decades and admired the culture of the Great Zhou very much, so I am unwilling to destroy the peace between the barbarians and the Great Zhou. Therefore, I am willing to make the greatest concessions, and I hope that the veteran general Kou should not worry too much."
"The old general Kou doesn't have to worry about delaying the time. Within seven days, I will hand over Yanling Mountain to the old general Kou. What do you think if it is not as good as the old general Kou?"
Speaking of this, Uryuhe's tone became a little tougher, and he said with a little threat: "This is the biggest concession that I have made. If the old general Kou still doesn't believe me, then I will have to leave the 40,000 troops of the old general Kou here."
“Ha~”
Kou Yi sneered in his heart, a man who unified the barbarians with his iron-blooded skills would not believe a word of this.
However, after thinking for a long time, he could not figure out what plans Wulianghe had. After all, as long as he took down Yanling Mountain, even if he only had these 40,000 troops in his hand, he was sure to block the barbarians.
So after he pondered for a while, he nodded and said, "The Barbarian Lord is so sincere, I am ashamed of being as good as I am. As long as the Barbarian Lord can keep his promise, I will naturally not think wholeheartedly."
After reaching a consensus, the two discussed for a while and formally set the conditions. After the barbarians moved to Yanling Mountain, they had to pay 200,000 stones of food to feed the migrating barbarian tribes.
After the matter was settled, Kou Yi looked at the army leaving Wulianghe and felt a little confused.
I originally wanted to bring people to die to arouse the importance of the Great Zhou Dynasty for the barbarians, but the man did not die and even took over Yanling Mountain, which the Great Zhou Dynasty wanted to take over for all generations. What is this called?
How do you write about this when you look back at the historian? Is it ridiculous to write that Kou Yi failed to seek death and the barbarian lord handed over to Yanling Mountain?
...
Kou Yi took advantage of it, but he thought it was ridiculous, but the tribe was in trouble when he brought the army back.
In the tent of Wulianghe, a tribe leader who surrendered to Wulianghe earlier did not care about his fear of Wulianghe and asked: "King, I heard from those returning soldiers that you gave Yanling Mountain to the Great Zhou?"
"Um."
Wuliang nodded as if he was soaked in water and said, "Don't worry about it now, I have thoughts in my heart."
"Thinking? What do you think?"
The man had no intention of restraining his mind, and suddenly stepped forward and said angrily: "Yanling Mountain is the place where my barbarians have lived for generations, and it is also the last barrier for my barbarians. Now that you have given up Yanling Mountain, where are you putting me barbarians? I will never agree to this matter!!!"
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Wulianghe, who was already in a bad mood, looked up at the man and said coldly: "Are you the lord of the barbarian race, or am I the lord of the barbarian race?"
"Even if you are pretty..."
"Puff~"
Before the man finished speaking, Gulianghe suddenly stood up and punched the man in the heart. The man spewed out blood with some internal organs, and then he fell heavily to the ground without moving.
"Whoever has any opinions, come forward."
Those who defected to Urianhe looked at the people who were beaten to death by Urianhe, and all lowered their heads and dared not speak out.
Wulianghe glanced around with murderous intent in his eyes. Seeing that no one dared to stand up again, he spoke, "Since you have no objection, then prepare for migration for me. I will only give you five days. If someone fails to complete the migration within five days, I promise to slaughter your clan!"
After they dispersed, Wulianghe took a few deep breaths, suppressed the murderous intent in his heart, and spoke to Balin, "I have asked for 200,000 stones of grain from Dazhou, and the food and grass should be enough."
"And this time I took the opportunity to let them migrate forcibly, and the time was just right, so let's start preparing for the previous plan."
