Chapter 421 Shi Family's Revenge
However, this situation did not last long. When the cavalry team with the Tang army flag appeared on the horizon in a mighty manner, these people completely collapsed. Except for the two dead soldiers who had broken brains, the rest of the dead soldiers who could surrender decisively jumped off their horses and threw away their weapons. Those who could not surrender were then flooded by the sea of people. The only ones who could still resist were the two dead soldiers who knew they would die.
When the Tang army who discovered the situation surrounded the battlefield, the dust had settled. Only Li Mu and his Turkic warriors sat high on the war horses. Those who stood up early, including those horse thieves who rebeled in the face of the battle, consciously put away their weapons and dispersed them around. Among them were the lucky surviving tribe members, and the dead people in the ground.
Li Mu told the Tang Dynasty that the generals who were also from a martial arts family and almost called Li Mu brothers was that "a group of powerful horse thieves attacked the Shi family ranch for no reason. With the help of these enthusiastic Turkic herders around him who were eager to do the Tang Dynasty, they successfully repelled these evil horse thieves and left them all here.
If the Tang sergeants didn't mind, the Shi family wanted to give the property of these dead guys as gifts to these Turkic people who were enthusiastic about helping.
As for the surviving horse thieves, I will give them to the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and let you deal with them."
Although the Tang generals knew that it would definitely not be that simple, they defeated their own brothers anyway, so they no longer asked more questions. The real forces behind the scenes were even more unwilling to participate in the competition, so it would be better to pretend to be stupid appropriately.
Anyway, he has gained this credit for suppressing bandits for nothing, and has so many more prisoners who can be handed over to the military, or sold as slaves. It is a good choice. It is considered an extra benefit for him, so why not do it?
In this way, the three waves of attacks carefully prepared by the Dou family and Changsun Wuji all ended in failure, or in disastrous defeat. However, if they thought that this matter would be over, it would be obviously too naive.
The Shi family is not a soft persimmon that can be used at will. Since the opponents have used such tricks, don’t blame the Shi family for making some intense means to let the opponent feel their anger. Since the opponents have played such off-track moves first, the Shi family will definitely not give up.
As the saying goes, taking your life while you are sick. Now it can be said that the two rivals are the weakest. Because in the third-line battle, although they are overwhelming with power, the manpower and material resources they invest are relatively greater. Now that all three groups have been defeated, they are already a bit of a trauma.
Although it seems that it has no impact on the industries of the two of them, their stalls are too large. With the dispersion of this power, this wave of losses has been much weaker than the guardian power at its peak.
The Shi family also needs to abide by the basic rules and cannot directly destroy their members of the family, but this does not delay them from attacking the other party’s subordinates. Since the other party started this method first, no one has the position to stop the Shi family from using such means to retaliate.
In this matter, the Shi family can be said to have stood at the moral commanding heights. And those who have always been good at stepping on lows and reaching highs naturally know what kind of standpoint they should take at this time and still stand firmly by the two families. At least no one will use their own strength to resist those possible attacks for them.
Then they saw how terrifying the anger of the Shi family was. The power of the Shi family was much stronger than they knew.
Since we chose to fight for tooth and for eye for eye, the Shi family's strength was also targeted by the industries under the two companies, and they were both deadly, but the results achieved were very different.
First, the two industries on the grassland were raided by the most powerful horse thieves. The already small-scale ranch was completely finished.
Moreover, when the ranch was attacked, the surrounding Tang garrisons "coincidentally" ran out to suppress bandits. I heard that several small tribes that had been horse thieves were brought back in strings by the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty.
However, they brought too many prisoners, so the speed of traveling naturally could not get faster. When they came back, the two direct forces left behind were unfortunately killed by horse thieves like locusts who crossed the border.
Fortunately, these horse thieves are still very moral and respect all the elderly, weak women and children who are not many in the pastures. They didn't touch their fingers and left them with enough daily necessities. As for the cattle, sheep, horses, and all the money, of course, they did not leave them at all.
Moreover, the tribes that originally had good cooperative relationships with the two families also chose other nobles as a way to ship. I heard that tribes that wanted to trade with these two families were more likely to be invaded by the powerful horse thieves, and they could not withstand this loss.
It is clear that they want to strangle the trade between these two families. These tribes that are not as powerful as those of the horse thieves cannot afford them, so they can only pay their own property and even their lives for a difficult thigh.
The favors given by these two families seem to be insufficient to make them take such a big risk. Besides, there are many people they can choose, so there is no need to hold on to the two families. It would be natural to switch to their family.
For example, those powerful Wuxun family caravans are obviously better choices, and naturally, this also includes the Shi family, which is prosperous in business on the grassland.
The two caravans along the plateau also encountered similar situations. All the caravan members who dared to resist were killed without hesitation, and all the goods were taken away without exception. That's not all, they also saw the power of kidnapping.
Except for a few small soldiers who were thrown out to report the news, all of the surviving caravan members were kidnapped by this group of fierce thieves.
At the same time, the one hand of the big shopkeeper of their caravan was also a signal and a warning. If the ransom was not sent on time, they would receive greetings from the plateau one after another, and those little bits of body parts that were sliced. However, the ransom requested by the other party was really not low, and the big shopkeeper's value reached ten kilograms of gold.
When they received this shameless request, the leaders of the two families could not bear it anymore and smashed their house in front of everyone. They looked furious and frightened the little fish that escaped by chance. They had just heard that several poor managers were beaten to death, and they didn't want to follow in the footsteps.
After getting angry, they still had to face this situation. If they didn't pay the ransom, they had to watch the members of the caravan, which turned into pieces. In the future, the subordinates would be disappointed. How could they expect someone to give their efforts to the master's family? But if they really paid according to the other party's request, the expense would be enough to make the two families feel very painful. Besides, they would stare at their own people in the future, so how could they live this life?
There was a plateau on the plateau. What's the use of his influence on the Tang Dynasty? The Tubo people didn't want to miss him, so they wanted to read their jokes. However, there were a few chiefs on the other side of Zanpu who wanted them, but these people couldn't reach this piece, so they seemed to have to admit defeat.
Did they ask them to find people from the Shi family? If they didn’t say that they were wrong first, they could easily push them all. It was done by the horse thief, not us. Moreover, it was not bad for going to the Shi family to apologize in person, and they couldn’t afford to lose that person either.
And don’t think that this is the entire method of the Shi family. These are just appetizers. Just this way, it is impossible to quell the anger of the Shi family. Therefore, some unconventional methods have also been released, and as soon as they take action, they stabbed them deeply in the heart.
The previous methods are as expected by the two families. The power of their betting in those places is not huge, and it is understandable that they are successful by the other party.
But the focus of the industry they have been operating is still in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. They were touched and destroyed without anyone knowing it, which caught them off guard and even had the idea of regretting provoking the Shi family.
