The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 278 Chapter 260

After a short time, Qiu Tianbao indeed escorted a hundred Turkic prisoners of war and came out. These people were all tied up with ropes, and behind each prisoner stood a knife-axe fighter.

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Old man, have you seen clearly? You old man, count the number, and if you are clear, let the horses come over, we also need Take a few counts."

Isn't it hard to count the one hundred people? The old Turkic man took a quick glance and counted them clearly. The old Turkic man waved his hand behind him, and immediately a group of Turkic men rushed over to the horses.

Duan Wuji Niutou said to Qiu Tianbao: "Brother Qiu, send someone to count and see if there are enough [-] horses! If there are enough, then get them back quickly."

After hearing this, Qiu Tianbao immediately led a hundred soldiers to count them.

"Brother, it's just right! Not one horse is too many, and one horse is not too little, exactly five hundred horses."

"Well, that's fine."

Duan Wuji said to those knife and axemen: "Take off the ropes on their bodies and let them go. We will do what we say."

After hearing this, the knife masters immediately untied the ropes tied to them, and then pushed them gently with their hands.

"You are free now, don't you hurry over?"

These Turkic people were so happy that they immediately ran over to the Turkic team.

Duan Wuji said to the swordsmen: "Follow them back together, arrange the horses, and bring the next batch of prisoners to pass."

After a short time, the next batch of Turkic people was brought up again. The Turkic old man counted them one by one, and when the number was clear, he drove his horses over. Get your own personnel and horses back.

The transactions went smoothly, one batch after another, and nothing unpleasant happened. Until the transaction was completed, the two parties did not have any conflicts.

Seeing that the transaction was over, the old Turkic man turned his horse and was about to leave when Duan Wuji beckoned him to stop.

"Old man, walk slowly, and stop."

The old Turkic man was taken aback.

"I said this general, this transaction is over, do you have anything else to do?"

"Yes, the transaction is over, I still have a few words, can you listen to it?"

"What are you talking about? I'm listening."

"Old man, to be honest, your loss this time is really not small, so many people died in personnel alone, and the loss of this horse is probably more than 7000 horses, right?
You have suffered such a big loss, even my heart aches when I see you!Father, can you listen to my advice?

You might as well retreat, I know you still have 10,000+ cavalry in this border area, but have you ever thought about the population of our Great Sui Dynasty? Our Great Sui Kingdom now has millions of soldiers!

Once the emperor of the Great Sui Kingdom got angry, let you say, are you 10,000+ people enough to fight?
Let me tell you, it is better for you to take advantage of this opportunity to deploy your troops. Once the two countries fight to the death, you will not only face the defeat of the army, but the subjugation of the country and the extinction of the species will not be alarmist!

Father, you should think about it carefully.I won't say much about the consequences of being an enemy of our Celestial Dynasty, you should think about it for yourself.

If you want me to say, it's best for you not to worry about other people, whoever wants to make trouble here, we'll be fine once we withdraw our troops.

Look at this vast prairie, where can't you graze horses?Where can't you live?Why seek death?

What do you think, old man? "

"This, this? Let me go back and think about it, and think about how to do this."

"Well, that's fine. I hope we will never meet again on the battlefield. If we meet again, it will not be a good thing."

"Okay then, we'll meet later."

After speaking, the old Turkic led his troops and withdrew.

As soon as Duan Wuji saw that he was gone, he immediately led the team and retreated to the pass.

The soldiers closed the door again, and blocked the door with sand and stones.

Duan Wuji is beautiful today, he is so happy that he gets carried away.

Back in the pass, the old prince was already grinning with joy when he saw so many horses all at once.

"Wuji, you're really good, we got so many horses all of a sudden, there are more than 7000 horses here, don't we just lose money now? Let's go, go back to the big tent with me to drink.

Let's celebrate today's big victory today! "

"Hey, the Wang family is a thousand years old, have you found out about the royal envoy? What is he doing here?"

"I've got it, I've figured it out. The old emperor saw that we were victorious here, and when he came, he brought us three months of food and grass. He asked when we could return to the court with victories. I was just thinking about it." How to answer?
Hey, Promise, how can I answer this question? "

"Thousands of years of the Wang family, you just said that the Turkic people's defeat has already appeared, and the war here will be peaceful soon, isn't that the end?"

"Ah? Is that all right?"

"Then why not? If it were me, I would just write like that, Wang Jiaqiantui, haven't you seen that there has been no fighting for such a long time? I guess some Turkic troops have quietly withdrawn their troops, and the rest of the troops If the number of people is small, won’t this momentum subside?”

"Wuji, do you really judge like that?"

"That is, the Wang family is thousands of years old. If you don't believe me, just watch it. As long as you play this form, we will be able to return to Beijing in less than a month."

"That's right, that's good, then I'll write the performance table when I get back. Hey, Wuji, how many horses do you think we should let the imperial envoy Wang bring back to the court this time?"

"Well, this one? Let me tell you, this time you will ask imperial envoy Wang to bring back 100 horses to the court. Didn't we kill more than [-] people this time?
Simply ask Jin Zhaoxiong to send two horses back to each deceased's home, so that the deceased can rest in peace.

Second, it can also protect the life of the family members of the deceased.

This will also let our soldiers see that the old prince loves soldiers like sons, and the soldiers will be willing to follow you in the future.

The Wang family is thousands of years old, what do you think? "

"Well, your idea is good, that's what it is. Hey, Jin Zhaoxiong, did you hear that? Don't do anything tomorrow, you send them home with the dead body and horses according to the standard of two horses for a dead man go."

"Yes, the last general is in command."

Jin Zhaoxiong was secretly happy when he heard this, and said in his heart: I am worried that I can't get back the gold and silver on my body. Isn't this an opportunity?
Coincidentally, I was quite on the way, and I did this without anyone knowing.

After dinner, the old prince began to write the chapter of Qin for the emperor, which was revised over and over again. It was not until five or six times that the old prince was satisfied.
