Pu Hangu, the captain of Gaoti Camp, explained to Xingu that Lanzhou was all elite. According to the information provided by Sogdian merchants, four thousand infantry and cavalry traveled together and the scout cavalry were released for twenty miles. The herdsmen, caravans, and horse thieves encountered along the way were killed or captured. The infantry formed a strong camp far from the tribes of the grassland. Chen De personally took charge. The captains led 3,000 cavalry to attack the grassland tribes that plundered Lanzhou caravans in turn. Within three days, the Alatanwula tribe was already the seventh tribe that was defeated. To date, Xingu, a total of 42 captured Lanzhou troops were rescued, and more than 400 caravans were involved. Pu Hangu had sent people to return the news of Xingu here to the camp.
Pu Hangu explained, and arranged for the soldiers to gather all the surrendered tribes in the open space in front of the head tent. Dozens of Lanzhou soldiers were guarding the custodians on horseback, and the huge horse spears waved back and forth on the heads. Once someone dared to stand up and resist, they would be killed on the spot. The nobles and ordinary herders were strictly identified and knelt on the carpet of the head Agudamu family, with only a few twenty or thirty people.
Seeing that all the tribes and herdsmen had gathered, Pu Hangu sued Xingu, stood up and walked to the tribe people, and shouted: "A month ago, your leader Agudamu obeyed the instigation of Dangxiang Li Jiqian, looted our goods, and killed our people. Today, the Alatanwula tribe deserves it!" He glanced at the cavalry isolation line of the Lanzhou army with sharp eyes. Both the nobles and ordinary herdsmen lowered their heads. Even Su He, the son of a strong man, was not indignant. The Alatanwula tribe was provoked first, and Lanzhou sent troops to fight and retaliate. The tribe was not as powerful as others, and the weak losers could only obey the destiny.
"Today, let everyone know that those who have my Lanzhou blood debt on their hands must pay for their blood." Pu Hangu waved his hand, and the two soldiers separated the people, and took Su He out of the pile of nobles like an eagle catching a chicken. Su He also seemed to know how to wait for his fate and grabbed the people around him in horror. The nobles around him were afraid of it. The head man Agudamu knelt on the side with a pale face, watching his son being dragged to Pu Hangu's horse and pressed down. Pu Han
Gu Chen shouted, "Now, he will take the lead in robbing my Lanzhou caravan. Su He, who killed and robbed people, was beheaded on the spot. Are you dissatisfied?" Pu Hangu's ancestor was a Hu from the Western Regions. He had a silver-gray face, a beard with a big beard, a big waist, and a full middle energy. He said this in Mongolian, which made the people in the nearby tribes buzz and looked at each other. He fought for property by force on the grassland. Women, if the defeated side killed them, they would kill them. Wolves eat sheep, and they would ask if the sheep are convinced?
Su He, who was pressed to the ground, struggled violently and said loudly: "If you want to kill, kill. I will curse your soul to be swallowed by the devil. Your heart and liver will be carried on a steel fork and roasted for food!" Hearing his curse so viciously, the other nobles couldn't help but secretly worry that Su He saw that he was going to die and would irritate the enemy leader, and even others could not survive. There were quite a few who were scared and sweaty. Pu Hangu looked at Su He who was pressed to the ground by the soldiers and struggled constantly, and said in a deep voice: "It is the devil's act to curse others casually in the name of the devil. Su He
, Not only did you have your hands covered with the blood of the soldiers and civilians in Lanzhou, but you also sold your soul to the devil! Come and execute the execution!" Pu Hangu's ancestor believed in the Zoroastrianism, and he strictly abides by the doctrine for generations. For Pu Hangu, the leader of the Zoroastrianism, Ahura, protects the Lord of the Zoroastrianism, just like the Jews who believe in himself as the chosen one of God. Furthermore, one of the main doctrines of the Zoroastrianism is the endless battle between light and darkness. Su He curses casually, how can he shake his mind? If he truly believes in Su He, he should put Su He on a pile of firewood and wash his soul with the fire of light.
The executioner immediately cut off Su He's head and blood spurted all over the ground. Seeing that everyone in the tribe was afraid of fear, Pu Hangu said again: "Although the evil one is killed, all the men in the tribe have participated in the robbery of our Lanzhou caravan, and everyone is guilty!" After saying that, his face stormed, and everyone kneeling on the ground was also cold. Seeing that everyone was not talking, Pu Hangu said again: "Fortunately, after the robbers robbed the goods from my Lanzhou, they sat on the ground to share the stolen goods. How many of these stolen goods are there, so they distinguished the size of each person's sins. Lei Kesi, who have the most stolen robbers, who are the most sinful robbers?"
The soldier Lei Kesi, who had already stood by the side holding a book, immediately pronounced a string of names, and the number of stolen goods they had allocated was attached to the back. The tribal nobles kneeling on the carpet of the tent of the head man, heard their names, some were pale, some were covered in sieve, and some were simply sank on the ground. Only the head man Agudamu looked dull, as if he was neither heartbroken nor worried about his life and death. The ordinary herders in the tribe looked complicated. It turned out that the looted property was originally claimed to be used as public property of the tribe, but they were secretly divided by these nobles. Although the tribes were all tacit about it.
However, the Lanzhou Army openly spread the matter to the public this time, and still tore off a veil that originally maintained the public interests of the tribe, making ordinary herders lose the same hatred for these tribe nobles. Many people were even secretly happy that their families did not receive any Lanzhou goods. Seeing this, Pu Hangu couldn't help but secretly admire the commander's arrangement. The Tuhun Army had patroled the borders in the past and had defeated many small tribes on the grassland and killed many people. However, never once did this make these rebellious grassland barbarians so intimidate. It was indeed the world, the truth was the most reasonable, and the truth was particularly great with the fists.
This list almost caught all the upper class figures of the Alatan Ula tribe in one go. Pu Hangu patiently waited for Lei Gu to finish his longing, but he was not in a hurry to declare the punishment for them. After scrutinizing the tribe with a cat-like look like a mouse, he said loudly: "Although the rest of the participants have not divided the spoils and have sins. According to military law, all the slaves of our Lanzhou military households should be confiscated. Only after three years can they be converted into cute households." As soon as this was said, the cavalry surveillance around could almost hear many tribes squatting on the ground breathing a sigh of relief at the same time. Indeed, taking them as slaves is the lightest punishment for the defeated tribes. As for the difference between cute households and slaves, these tribes cannot understand at all.
Pu Hangu was high above, seeing everyone's reactions, smiled coldly, and said, "But, the commander and commander have given you sinners a better way out." After saying that, he signaled that the soldiers watching next to him to wave their long spears, and the people of the tribe were not allowed to stand up or make noises. The tribe that had just been disturbed calmed down again.
"The most important warrior in Lanzhou is. If the warriors of the Alatanwula tribe can meet the standards for selecting sergeants in Lanzhou, then they will be given the status of the Lanzhou sergeant and the honor of joining the Lanzhou Cavalry Camp. A sergeant can lead up to ten households. If no one meets the standards, all the Alatanwula tribes will be taken to Lanzhou as slaves."
As soon as he said this, the tribes squatting on the ground were suddenly in an uproar. Anyone knew that they were led by the warriors of the tribe, and they were taken to Lanzhou as slaves. Even Xin Gu was quite surprised. The herdsmen of Alatanwula turned their attention to several warriors in the tribe, and Amur was one of them.
Pu Hangu waved his hand, and the sergeant moved out the arrow pile, then pulled out a war horse and drew a circle with white ash. Lei Kesi replaced him to explain the standards for selecting warriors in Lanzhou. He galloped horses and shot the arrow piles a hundred steps away with bows and arrows. Seven out of ten passed the first level, rode a horse and attacked at full speed, and stabbed the three circles randomly thrown in the air in succession. Those who passed the second level were counted as passing the second level, and fought with Lanzhou soldiers with wooden swords or sticks to support one stick of incense and were unbeaten, and they were not beaten out of the circle to pass the third level. After passing the third level, the tribal warriors became soldiers of the Lanzhou Cavalry Camp and were qualified to select up to ten households. The soldiers and his troops did not have to be forced to move to Lanzhou, nor did they have to pay tribute to Lanzhou. They just had to obey military orders and provide help to the Lanzhou caravan. The passing Lanzhou caravans would also exchange various commodities with them under the best conditions.
Amur and several warriors in the tribe looked at each other, with doubts in each other's eyes. Then he turned to look at Xin Gu who was standing beside him. Xin Gu nodded with a smile at him. Amur felt sure, and gently pinched Qiqige's hand, stood up and shouted: "I'll do it."
"Okay." Pu Hangu had known that he was the tribal herder who had been taking care of Xin Gu these days. He had a flash of praise in his eyes and waved his hand to lead the horse to get the bow. Ten other Lanzhou soldiers pointed at Amur with powerful crossbows to prevent him from suddenly refusing to get the horse and weapons, and suddenly hurt people. The war horse he led was very tame. Amur rolled over the saddle and got the bow from behind the saddle. He was completely different from squatting on the ground in panic just now. He was very different from the fact that he was squatting on the ground in fear.
Xin suddenly returned to his body. He looked back at Qiqige in the crowd, smiled at her, gently urged the horse to run into a small circle, and the war horses rushed past hundreds of steps away from the arrow pile. He calmed down his mind, relaxed his ape's arms, inhale and opened his bow, and went out with an arrow, and hit the arrow pile. Several people in the army immediately shouted for him, but Amur frowned slightly. He was not very familiar with the bow, but this arrow shot on the edge of the arrow pile, without hitting the red heart.
Then, he returned to the war horse, pulled his bow when he passed the arrow pile, and shot another arrow at the moment when the war horse jumped up and paused in the air. The geese-feather arrow was as fast as a meteor. With a "bang", it hit the red heart and half of the arrow was stabbed into the target. If he stood alone, he might have been shot to death. Even the onlookers of Lanzhou could not help but scream. The two captains Xin Gu and Pu Hangu also showed a look of praise in their eyes. This arrow hit the bull's eye and made Amu
My confidence increased greatly. The next time the horse returned, his hands were as fast as lightning. He actually shot three arrows in a short moment before the horse ran over the stack of arrows. The arrow hit the bull's eye and passed the first level ten shots. The spear pierced the iron circle and the wooden sword fighting, and he easily passed. Lanzhou set up these three competitions, which were originally practical skills derived from combat. It was natural that Amur, who had many tribal combat experience, passed successfully.
When Amur, who was full of excitement, was in front of Pu Hangu, Pu Hangu smiled and said to him: "Congratulations on becoming a sergeant in Lanzhou. Now go and select your sergeant." Amur was not familiar with the military salute, and bowed to him slightly, and followed the sergeant in Lanzhou to the squatting on the ground. In an instant, more than a thousand eyes fell on him, and then fell on Amur's outstretched finger. Whoever pointed to this finger would be saved. Those who were not touched would have to bear the danger and suffering of unknown future.
Even after a long battle, Amur felt a little unbearable. He couldn't help but dodge the eyes with desire and begging. The first one called Qiqige to his side, and then selected the families in the Jiuhu tribe who were familiar with him. These people were suppressed by the soldiers in Lanzhou. Except for the soldiers' wife Qiqige standing beside him, the rest squatted behind Amur like an amnesty. From then on, they were Amur's slaves, and three years later, they became Amur's cute households.
Amur's success immediately stimulated other men in the tribe. Many people stood up and asked to participate in the assessment of the Lanzhou sergeants, but in the end only fifteen people passed. Except for the 150 herders who were selected by the sergeants, the remaining more than 200 tribes could only be taken away by Pu Hangu. Almost all the noble families were not selected by the sergeants. The reason was very simple. These people would never be loyal and obedient to the humble civilians in the past.
Seeing that things were going well, Pu Hangu walked up to the fifteen tribal warriors standing in a row and smiled and said, "You are now noble Lanzhou soldiers. Can you execute military laws for Lanzhou and execute these culprits who took the lead in looting the Lanzhou caravan?" After saying that, the tribal nobles who had been pronounced for the crime were taken up one by one and pressed to the ground. The reason for Chen De's arrangement was very simple, which was to break the warriors and the original tribal forces and call them the letter of apology in the world.
Amur and fifteen other warriors looked at each other, with a hesitant look on their faces. Pu Hangu did not urge them, and walked straight into front of Xin Gu, bowing and laughing: "Congratulations to Captain Xin, the Cavalry Camp has added another fifteen warriors. I am a little jealous. I also asked Captain Xin to speak to the commander, and the next time he conquers the tribe, the grassland warriors will be divided equally." He was a lieutenant officer in Tuhun Army with a very experienced school lieutenant officer. Chen De relied on Xin Gu as if he was left and right arm. He saw this at this time, but he did not have any jealousy in his heart. After all, Xin Gu was the commander of the left army and his status was higher than that of the captains. The Cavalry Camp suffered the most losses this time, and he urgently needed new blood.
Xin Gu smiled and thanked him, looking at Amur who turned his head, his face calmly, and nodded slightly. Amur had not killed anyone, but he had encouraged him, and he made a fuss. He picked up a scimitar and walked to Agudam. Agudam twisted his head and cursed at him: "Amuer, you wolf cub, betray the tribe, and the immortal will punish you..." Before he finished speaking, Amur raised his sword and cut off his head. Blood flowed out. His eyes were wide open and his head rolled out ten steps away. The body was thrown to the ground and twitched constantly. With him, the other warriors also walked behind the nobles and cut off their heads one by one.
Pu Hangu just laughed and said, "Okay! Lanzhou rules, soldiers seized 70% of their own and 30% of them to the camp. The family property of these executed sinners will be divided. Also, Lanzhou military rules, soldiers elect the ten husbands themselves, you can wait aside to elect the chief and deputy chiefs. Whether it is the ten husbands or soldiers, there is a stable military salary every year. The ten husbands and soldiers pay a stable military salary every year. The ten husbands and soldiers pay a hundred and twenty sheep each year, and the soldiers pay a hundred and twenty sheep each year.
One hundred sheep a year." He said, while looking at the fifteen soldiers who were obviously knocked into a dizzy turn by the sudden wealth. The Alatanwula tribe, which was still a weak Mongolian tribe, has since become a self-sufficient cavalry team cruising on the grassland in Lanzhou. It is a tentacle that stretches into the grassland. They are native to the land and are connected to the bloodline of the grassland under their feet. With the support of Lanzhou, no one can drive them away from this land.
