Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

Chapter 154 The prince is a lobbyist, five thousand prisoners!

"Master Jiang, what do you plan to do with this batch of heavy armor?"

The first person to ask for the idea of ​​Golden Eagle riding equipment was Utona.

As a princess of a clan, she knew very well what a heavily armed heavy cavalry meant on the grassland, and that was enough to raise the Wutuo clan, which was originally not outstanding among the eight major tribes, by one or two ranks.

If we add the hole cards that his father Wu Tuobu has prepared for many years...

Then she even has the confidence to wrestle with Qi Yanshi and Bao Luoshi!
Utona stared at the heavy armor piled on the ground, her greedy face was undisguised:
"Master Jiang, although this batch of heavy armor has been roasted by the fire, the damage is not serious, and more than [-]% of it can be used directly."

"It's a pity that it's too heavy, and the Blackwater Lake is too far away from the border, so you can't take it with you."

"so……"

Jiang Qingyu interrupted with a smile:
"So you want me to sell this batch of heavy armor to you Wu Tuo?"

Utona nodded and admitted:
"Make a price, brother-in-law!"

"Military merit? This princess can arrange several medium-sized tribes for you to slaughter!"

"Want to be famous? This princess can let my father and king lead an army to pretend to fight with you, and lose to you, and admit to the world that I am inferior to others!"

"I want a woman..."

She straightened her chest, and glanced at the carriage again,
"The three younger sisters of this princess can accompany you tonight..."

Jiang Qingyu held out a hand:

"Stop!"

"Enough, my son has already felt your sincerity."

"but……"

"Please let your father come and talk to me, you can't decide this matter!"

At the same time, he looked at Tuoba Yu, a prisoner whose hands and feet had already been bound, and asked abruptly:

"Tuoba Yu, you still have 3000 troops under your command, can you let them be captured without a fight?"

At this time, there were still [-] enemy troops by the Heishui Lake.

This is at least [-] military achievements, and Jiang Qingyu wants to eat them all!
"..."

Tuoba Yu snorted coldly:
"The Tuoba clan's warriors all have backbone! This prince can't order his subordinates to surrender, and they will definitely not surrender to the Chu people!"

Jiang Qingyu pretended to sigh softly:
"Is it?"

"That would be a pity."

"The Tuoba clan's warriors are hard bones that cannot be softened, which is really admirable."

"It seems that my son can only let his subordinates wear the equipment of the Golden Eagle Cavalry, form a heavy cavalry with a number of about [-], and kill them all, leaving no one behind!"

"Isn't this the greatest respect for them?"

"What do you think, Tuoba Yu?"

Tuoba Yu looked at Jiang Qingyu quite unexpectedly:
"Aren't you going to kill them?"

Jiang Qingyu nodded slightly:
"Captives are more useful than human heads."

"..."

Tuoba Yu was silent for a while, and said in doubt:
"But you only have so few people, how can you bring all five thousand captives back to the north?"

"Not to mention that Beidi's army will definitely come to stop them on the way back. With so many captives, accidents are easy to happen. The daily food and water consumption of 5000 people is a difficult problem to solve!"

Jiang Qingyu agreed:

"you are right."

"so……"

"My son only intends to keep half of the people as prisoners."

Tuoba Yu was slightly taken aback.

If half of the people are taken as prisoners, then there is no need to talk about the fate of the other half.

There is only one dead word.

"Now, do you have the confidence to persuade the other 3000 people to throw down their helmets, put down their swords, and become my master's captives?"

Jiang Qingyu said with a smile on her face:
"My son can assure you in advance that once they become captives, they will not only survive, but also have a chance to return to Beidi safely."

Back to Beidi safely?

Are you going to demand a sky-high ransom from the Tuoba clan?
Or do you want to take the opportunity to buy the Tuoba clan on behalf of the King of the North?
Tuoba Yu's face was cloudy and uncertain.

After a long time, he sighed:
"That……"

"I'll try it."

If he could save the lives of 3000 people, he would be able to give an explanation to his father Tuobaqi and his mother, Mrs. Zhiwei, after he returned.

……

at the same time.

The [-] Beidi troops by the Blackwater Lake have never dared to act rashly.

Bao Luozan and his men are waiting for reinforcements.

The Tuoba Clan's 3000 troops lost their leader, and they were in disarray, not knowing what to do.

No one knew when Jiang Qingyu would order an attack on them. The anxiety and uneasiness in everyone's hearts became more and more serious with the passage of time, as if a sharp knife was hanging above their heads, and it might fall at any time!
In this way, quietly, an hour passed.

After waves of torment, everyone finally waited until night fell.

"Damn it, why haven't you come yet!"

"Did something happen?"

Bao Luozan's face was gloomy and he was worried.

According to the agreement, his father, Bao Luo Te, should have led tens of thousands of reinforcements to Heishui Lake to attack Jiang Qingyu and Tuoba Yu from inside and outside.

But now two full hours have passed since the agreed time!

He looks south.

I saw piles of bonfires lit up where Jiang Qingyu was, as if he was determined to stay here tonight, neither attacking nor retreating.

It's disturbing to watch!

Bao Luozan knew that if he waited a while longer and led his army to break through in the dark, he had the greatest hope of escaping.

But the enemy cannot be unguarded.

Once the war started, the 2000 men under his command would suffer heavy losses, and he would also be unfortunately lost!
"Bao Luo has a bright future, this prince cannot die here!"

Bao Luozan held the handle of the knife firmly, with hesitation on his face:
"or……"

"This prince is going to confess to Jiang Qingyu the relationship between the Bao Luo family and the Jubei Palace, in exchange for a way out?"

"But will he believe it?"

"Besides, Bao Luo's support is Jiang Qingzhu, and Jiang Qingyu is not the same as him, but this action was originally to plot against him!"

"Once he confesses, will he behead the prince first in order to cut Jiang Qingzhu's wings and prevent her from becoming the crown prince?"

In a short time, including Luo Zan's complexion changed again and again.

But suddenly.

However, two riders approached suddenly in front of them, attracting everyone's attention.

"Look, someone is coming!"

"who is it?"

Everyone looked up.

I saw one person with white armor and one with black armor.

When the two approached and everyone saw their faces clearly, they found that one of them was Tuoba Yu who was supposed to be a prisoner!

"Little Lord!"

"Young master, that's great, you're still alive!"

"Young master, take us out!"

"Yeah, kill it!"

The soldiers of the three thousand Tuoba clan immediately let out a burst of exclamation, some wept unceasingly, and some got off their horses and knelt down.

The demoralized troops suddenly became high-spirited.

"Brother Tuoba, you..."

Bao Luozan didn't understand the situation for a while.

At this time, Jiang Qingyu had already ordered someone to loosen the bondage on Tuoba Yu temporarily, so he didn't look too embarrassed.

"I'm here to persuade you to surrender."

However, Tuoba Yu's first words were surprising.

No one would have imagined that Beidi's first talent would one day become a lobbyist for Chu people!
As soon as this statement came out, everyone stared angrily:

"You, young master..."

"You betrayed Beidi!"

"coward!"

"The Tuoba clan only has warriors who died in battle, not cowards who surrendered!"

……

Even Bao Luozan found it incredible:

"Brother Tuoba, if you do this, is it worthy of the importance that Patriarch Tuoba has for you?"

Tuoba Yu snorted coldly:
"I'm just in charge of delivering the message."

"Jiang Qingyu said that if you don't surrender, he will put his subordinates in the equipment of the Golden Eagle Cavalry and slaughter you all, leaving no one alive!"

"But if you surrender, he will not only guarantee your safety, he may even release you back to the tribe and reunite with your family."

"I don't want to see thousands of families in the Tuoba Sect. Parents without sons, wives without husbands, sons without fathers..."

"That's why even if someone insults you, you still want to bring your words here!"

"It's better to be alive than to be dead."

"..."

Everyone looked at each other, this time only a few people shouted that they would rather die than surrender, and most of the rest were silent for a while.

Including Luo Zan.

"Is Jiang Qingyu's promise credible?"

Someone suddenly asked:
"How do you know he won't kill us all when we give up?"

Tuoba Yu said coldly:

"I trust him."

"Because if he is determined to kill people, he doesn't even need to give you a chance to surrender."

"even……"

"Without having to spend a single soldier of his own, Wu Tuobu would be happy to lead his five thousand elite soldiers to kill you for him."

He paused and said again:

"Jiang Qingyu said, I only give you one night to think about it, and you can sleep peacefully tonight."

"If you promise to give up resistance, then throw all the weapons you carry into the black water lake behind you."

"Otherwise, tomorrow will be your death day."

Words have been brought.

Tuoba Yu didn't say much, and turned around, consciously rushing to where Jiang Qingyu was.

Beside him, the black-armored general Duoji remained silent from beginning to end, watching all this with cold eyes.

……

All night.

It was dawn the next day.

In front of the carriage, Jiang Qingyu, Duoji and the others, who had only slept for less than three hours due to discussing the military, stood side by side, looking to the north.

But he saw the group of Beidi soldiers standing by the bank of Heishui Lake, and everyone was sitting on horseback, as if they were ready for battle.

only……

Everyone was empty-handed, and there were no traces of bows, arrows, scimitars, spears and other weapons on their bodies.

It was as if he had completely given up resistance.

The leader is Bao Luozan.

In front of several people, he personally untied the precious sword hanging from his waist, threw it forcefully, and threw it into the bottomless lake.

So far, the five thousand Beidi army have all been captured without a fight!

Seeing this scene, Yu An was both surprised and worried:

"Young master, this is troublesome!"

"We don't have that much food and grass to support five thousand captives!"
