Chapter 626 The Golden Belt of Murder and Arson
"Marquis, the leader of the horse bandits, Bai Lang, is dead. Before we came, there was a rebellion here. The leader Cang Ni wanted to be the leader himself. When everyone else was drugged, he directly beheaded Bai Lang.
The head of a wolf." Su Mu said.
Jiang Hao was stunned. He didn't expect so many stories to happen in this short two-quarter time.
"The other leaders and most of the horse bandits have been placed in the square, but they can't move now. They are only conscious and can talk, but they don't even have the strength to stand up. Commander, your medicine powder is simply too powerful."
"Under normal circumstances, we would not have been able to defeat these horse bandits, but now we can easily defeat them. The military commander is really resourceful."
Su Mu flattered Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao felt very relieved and nodded: "Are there any other situations?"
"I have one more thing to report, Commander, many of those slaves are Han Chinese." Su Mu said with a hint of anger in his tone.
Jiang Hao also lowered his face and said, "Tell me what the situation is."
"Those people were all members of the caravan robbed by the horse bandits. Many of them couldn't pay the ransom, so they were detained and forced to work. Those people had some skills. Some of them knew how to forge iron, so they were assigned to the blacksmith workshop. Some of them knew how to herd horses, so they were assigned to the blacksmith workshop.
Went to the racecourse." Su Mu said.
"How many Han people are there?"
"There are about fifty or sixty people."
A sharp light flashed in Jiang Hao's eyes, "If you dare to let me, a Han, become a slave, you should be killed. Damn it, that white wolf died too happily. He was decapitated with a knife. If he falls into my hands, I will keep it and let him enjoy it for seven days."
After seven nights of pain, he hung it on a flagpole outside to dry and dried it into bacon, as a warning to the barbarians in the Western Regions to see what would happen if they dared to enslave our Han people."
Su Mu continued to talk about the situation of those slaves.
Most of the slaves are barbarians, who were captured by horse bandits who robbed villages and small countries. Men are used as slaves and are responsible for chores, raising horses, and transporting goods. As for women, most of them are young women. Basically, they are
This group of horse bandits are used to vent their animal desires, and they are also responsible for chores such as laundry and cooking.
"How is the material situation?" Jiang Hao asked.
When talking about supplies, Su Mu's expression became a little excited, "Marquis, we have made a lot of money from this battle. We found four or five warehouses with a lot of food piled inside. I roughly estimate that it is enough to feed a thousand people for a year."
All are wealthy."
"There are still a lot of supplies stolen by the horse bandits. There are too many types and it's hard to keep track of them at the moment. But if they are sold, it will be a huge fortune."
"Actually, these are nothing. Do you know how many horses they have?" Su Mu said a small trick.
Jiang Hao smiled, "How many?"
Su Mu held out a finger and said, "A thousand horses, definitely more than a thousand horses. Those horse bandits have almost 500 horses for their own use, and there are seven or eight hundred horses at the horse farm in the back mountain. By the way, there are still fifty or sixty horses."
There are three to four hundred camels and sheep.”
Jiang Hao was also very happy about this news. Now he no longer had to worry about war horses. With more than a thousand horses, he could form a cavalry. It would not be a dream for one person to ride two horses.
He has a gold belt for murder, arson, robbery, and getting rich quickly. Before, he was broke and started a gang of horse bandits from the Western Regions. Now he has everything all at once.
The entire Western Region is such a big territory, with so many countries, and there are many things that can be done. The Western Region has always been playing a game of big fish eating small fish, just to see who is more capable. Jiang Hao is not afraid of this kind of fight.
The more chaotic the better, the more chaotic he has the better chance.
Robbery is what we are good at.
Jiang Hao felt happy.
After thinking for a while, he said to Su Mu: "Continue to count the supplies and make a detailed list. Also, find suitable weapons and armor in the warehouse, arm all our people, let them choose war horses, and turn them all into cavalry."
"promise."
"Also, go and ask those horse bandits if any of them are willing to surrender and join us."
Su Mu was slightly startled, "Marquis, you want to recruit those horse bandits? They are not good people. What if they return to the water in the future?"
With confidence on his face, Jiang Hao said with a smile, "Back then, there were a lot of Hu soldiers under the champion's tent. There were even Huns prisoners who surrendered. They still showed no mercy when fighting against the Huns."
"Everyone has value, it just depends on how the superior uses it. I believe that as long as things are done fairly and convincingly, horse bandits or foreigners can still be surrendered and obey my orders."
Su Mu took a deep look at Jiang Hao. He could see the confidence that Jiang Hao exuded from his bones. He suddenly thought of Jiang Hao's various methods and schemes, and thought that the military commander had his own way of subduing those barbarians.
"What if someone doesn't want to surrender?"
Jiang Hao smiled faintly, "Of course I'll kill him. Do you want to keep it for the New Year?"
Su Mu nodded and said: "I know the military commander, I will do this carefully, and there is one more thing to report to you."
"What's going on?" Jiang Hao asked as he picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip of tea.
"Just now, the leader of the Samoyed Guards came over and met me outside the door. He asked me to tell you something that Princess Qiuci wants to see you." Su Mu said.
In fact, Su Mu was also very surprised when he learned that there was a Princess of Kucha in the bandits' den, but later he figured it out. It was probably that after Kucha was destroyed, the princess escaped with a group of people, and then was encountered by horse thieves, and was captured.
Horse thieves robbed this place.
In fact, after staying in the Western Region for a long time, they will gradually get used to it. There are dozens of countries with a lot of kings, and countless so-called princes and princesses. Maybe they go hunting, and two groups fight for a rabbit.
Get up and announce your family name. This is the prince of a certain country, and that is the prince of another country.
As the saying goes: If you don’t go to the capital, you won’t know how young an official is. If you don’t go to Shenzhen, you won’t know how rich you are. If you don’t go to Inner Mongolia, you won’t know that you are a bad drinker. If you don’t go to the sauna, you won’t know that you are young. Ahem, if you don’t go to the Western Regions, you won’t know that the prince is really a princess.
Quite a few.
"Inform General Samoyed and say that you have time to meet the Princess of Qiuci," Jiang Hao said.
Su Mu bowed his hands and said goodbye. Jiang Hao drank tea slowly. After more than ten minutes, Jin Damao, the captain of the guard outside, came in and reported: "Marquis, Princess Kucha is here."
"Well, let him come in."
Jin Damao respectfully exited.
Jin Damao was Jiang Hao's soldier before. He was a very capable man, brave in battle and down-to-earth. Ever since he was injured and saved by Jiang Hao, his admiration for Jiang Hao can be described as fanatical. After a few days of rest, his injury healed.
After that, he took the initiative to come over and thank Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao felt that there should be some people around him who could listen to him, so he appointed Jin Damao as his bodyguard captain and formed a bodyguard team. Now the bodyguard team is small, with only 10 people, who follow Jiang Hao full-time and listen to him.
