Chapter 653 Everything has changed(1/2)
"General, these were found from the slave camp!"
A Tianxiong Army soldier came from behind and poured out a large amount of silver nuggets and gold and silver jewelry with a roar, worth about five thousand taels of silver.
"Put it away and immediately look for the next slave gathering place."
Before departure, Lu Xiangsheng said that all the soldiers seized in this operation would be divided up on the spot.
The soldiers who entered the hinterland of the Jiannu slaves lived a very hard life, sometimes not having enough to eat for a whole day.
In order to boost the morale of the soldiers, this is Lu Xiangsheng's promise to them.
But now it has just begun, and Lu Xiangtong knows it is not time to divide the spoils yet.
The reason why Jian slaves like to slaughter cities after entering the customs is because they can get what they want.
Gold, silver, wealth, silk, and beautiful Han women were all treasures in Jiannu's eyes. Lu Xiangsheng's behavior was called tit for tat.
More than a few hundred slaves and more than a thousand family members of the slaves were found, and only such a small amount of property was found. It has to be said that everyone was a little disappointed.
The only thing that makes Lu Xiangtong happy is that this small station actually has nearly 500 war horses and thousands of cattle and sheep.
These cattle and sheep are very precious and can keep the soldiers from going hungry for half a month...
In addition, a lot of dried beef and mutton pieces were also found in Jianlu's camp.
The food was very good, and Lu Xiangtong would not dislike it, so he ordered it to be loaded onto the horseback along with gold and silver and other supplies.
Looking at the sky, they have been delayed here for nearly two hours and must find their next target.
An old man with gray hair suddenly stood up from the crowd of Han people and said:
"Sir! Is Daming really going to attack?"
"Yes, what does this have to do with you? Leave here as soon as possible tomorrow..."
Lu Xiangtong didn't know what the old man meant. He didn't trust these Han people.
He once fought against the Jiannu, and those Han troops were more ferocious than the Mongols against the Ming army.
The Ming Dynasty raised them and gave them military pay and land, but he did not work hard and was defeated in one attack...
After becoming slaves, in order to please their master, he immediately turned into a mad dog.
The old man knew that the Ming generals did not believe him, so he hurriedly bowed and saluted:
"Most of the Jian slaves are scattered throughout the hinterland. If you want to kill more Jian slaves, you must have a guide.
The old man is the teacher here and is familiar with the surrounding situation. If you need it, the old man can help you find more camps outside Jiannu City!"
This old man didn't show any fear when he spoke. He wanted to be a guide for the Ming army!
Hearing what the old man said made sense, he immediately nodded in agreement:
"Okay! You will be our guide. If you are found to have evil intentions, I will kill you directly!"
Lu Xiangtong really needs a guide. He needs to know where the Jianlu garrison and Jianlu villages are nearby.
"As you wish!"
The old man was not afraid of Lu Xiangtong's threat.
Lu Xiangtong suddenly felt that this old man was not simple. In fact, not only Lu Xiangtong, but also most of the people behind him looked at the old man in shock:
"Damn it, is this the same old Mr. Li who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and was extremely flattering?"
Lu Xiangtong looked at the old man and said:
"Can you ride a horse?" The old woman asked without hesitation:
"Yes, I often give horses to Jian Nu, and I have learned to ride a horse long ago..."
"Okay, let's go!"
Lu Xiangtong gave the order and immediately led his men to leave. After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned back and said to the Han people:
"You'd better be honest. I'll leave a sentry here for anyone who dares to leave this village to report to the slaves!"
When Lu Xiangtong said this, his face suddenly darkened and he said:
"Kill them all. No one of you can survive. Let's go!"
Without waiting for the Han people to respond, Lu Xiangtong led a large force out of the village!
This was the first time in his life that Lu Xiangtong had committed such acts of robbing homes, killing people and exterminating species.
Although he seemed calm on the outside, he was actually panicking on the inside.
Walking on the road at this moment, he felt like he was running away.
This feeling is certainly not that he is worried about being ambushed by Jiannu. He is not afraid of fighting. The main reason is that he feels a little uneasy...
After this battle, more than five hundred good horses were captured, and all the generals were given horses.
"General, you should not let the Han people in the village go!"
The old guide was also lucky enough to be given a horse, but there was no trace of sadness or joy on his face.
"Why? They are all our robes..."
Mr. Qian Li Wei, who was walking side by side, frowned. He had never believed much in the words and deeds of this guide.
He had an intuition that something was wrong with this old man because he was too calm.
Lu Xiangtong also looked at Lao Li, wanting to know what Lao Li meant.
Although he looked calm, in fact, he was a little unbearable at first when he killed Jiannu indiscriminately.
But this barbarian nation was too harmful to the Ming Dynasty, and Lu Xiangtong had to take ruthless measures.
It would be really difficult for him to exterminate the Jian slaves and at the same time kill all the Han people who were plundered from the pass and become Jian slaves!
The guide looked at Mr. Qian Li Wei and felt that he was not the top official. Instead, he cupped his hands to Lu Xiangtong and said:
"General, the sentry you left behind is probably in danger at this moment."
Lu Xiangtong left ten men to guard the Han people, just to prevent them from running around to report the news.
In two days, all the nearby Jiannu slaves may be eliminated, and they will have nowhere to go to report the news!
At that time, they will set off a signal flare, and the soldiers left behind can go to meet them according to the direction of the signal flare.
Lao Li's words made Lu Xiangtong a little unbelievable. The Tianxiong Army was saving the Han people in Liaodong. How dare they do harm to the soldiers?
"General..."
As if to confirm what Lao Li said, several riders from behind suddenly rushed over with shouts.
Lu Xiangtong waved his hand hurriedly:
"Stop!"
The army stopped immediately, and everyone looked at the soldiers who were galloping towards them.
"General, something bad happened. Han people suddenly broke out there. They wanted to flee one after another. Li Yi and others went to stop them, but they were besieged by them. Three brothers were cut down. We couldn't do anything about it, so we hurriedly took the opportunity to escape and report!"
The soldier who spoke was wounded in the leg and was still bleeding. He must have been through a fierce fight.
There are ten of them in total, and there are nearly a thousand Han people. If they are besieged, they will definitely lose!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Nice Mao Xibi... I left them a way to live, but they want to die. Aren't they Han?"
Lu Xiangtong didn't understand. The more he didn't understand, the angrier he became, so much so that he even cursed.
Old Li cupped his hands and said:
"General, this area has been occupied by slaves for decades. People's minds have changed. Some young people of the younger generation have long lost their impression of the Ming Dynasty."
"Besides, you killed all the slaves but kept these Han people. If the army of the slaves comes back in the future, will these Han people still be alive?"
The younger generation has long forgotten the Ming Dynasty? Just like the rich second generation living abroad in later generations?
They eat China's food and spend China's money, but they do not hesitate to blame the motherland.
Because they are the first group of people to get rich. After going abroad, they forget who they are. This is a typical case of forgetting their ancestors after reading all the classics.
Lao Li had long known that this was the case, but he couldn't say it because no one would believe him, at least at the time.
"What do you mean? Do you want the general to massacre the Han people?"
Mr. Qian Li Wei stared at Lao Li fiercely.
For the soldiers of the Tianxiong Army who would never kill a good person and take credit for their merits, they did not want the general to do such a thing, and they would not be able to explain it to Emperor Shenwu when they returned.
Lao Li snorted coldly:
"Humph, think about it, General, where is this? If you make a single mistake, you may be in catastrophe. How many soldiers do you have worth risking?"
"Either you die or I die! That's it. If Han people everywhere are like this, can you afford it?"
Qianzong Li Wei was immediately stunned. They had been victorious in every battle since they followed Emperor Shenwu, and the warriors in the army were all the elites of the Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Shenwu once said that what he cared about most was the lives of the soldiers of the National Guard.
Even if Prince Jiannu was offered in exchange for the life of a flag officer of the National Guard Army, Emperor Shenwu would refuse without hesitation.
