Chapter 50
Xu Shu endured the pain and moved the corner of her mouth:
I'm quite talented in combat.
Cheng Yufeng pulled out the belt of one of his subordinates, and while tying up Hu San who had fallen into the enemy's hands, he freed up one hand, and savagely slapped his mouth a few times, swearing in vague nonsense. One side of his face swelled up rapidly, like an overripe peach, and then he stopped his hand without further ado.
Cheng Yufeng was indeed very angry. He was almost caught up by this man and almost put the princess into a dangerous situation.
Xu Shu was not afraid of the Queen Mother, probably because the few arrows she shot gave her enough courage.
She looked back at the gatekeepers who were standing beside them holding kitchen knives and long sticks in a daze, and said to herself that the trained ones were different from the untrained ones, and this group of people had no eyes.
"Why stand there stupidly? Divide two people to see where the soldier who reported the message has gone, and whether he has brought the message back. The rest clean up the battlefield and bury the person. In such a hot day, if you don't deal with it, you will die." It’s epidemic.”
Suddenly, several people squatted down and began to take off the clothes and pants of the dead Hu Bing.
"What are you doing??"
"Back to Your Royal Highness, hehe, this... what if you have something from before, right? It's also a trophy."
Only then did Xu Shu have the time to explain:
"I'm not a princess, just call me Princess."
Cheng Yufeng handed Hu San, who was gagged and bound, to his subordinates, and then rode to the vicinity of Xu Shu, and explained the situation to her:
"This subordinate doesn't understand Hu language very well, but judging by the crown on his head, he is probably a prince or something."
Xu Shu was a little overjoyed. She didn't know that there were many tribes on the Hu people's side, and the king changed every now and then. The prince was not that valuable, but she just thought that he had caught a big fish.
She thought of Feng Tunchang and others who were unknown to life and death, and said to Cheng Yufeng:
"How to deal with this prince, we will discuss it later, let's go and see Chief Feng first."
Cheng Yufeng divided a dozen people to check, while he protected Xu Shu and continued to the city.
When they entered the city, Magistrate Zhou had already arrived in a hurry after receiving the news.
Captain Meng was farther away. After Zhou Keping got the news, he sent his confidant to inform.
"Your Highness, are you not injured?"
Xu Shu got off the horse, held the rope with one hand, and walked side by side with Zhou Keping:
"No, let's have people close the city gate first, and then open a small door for our people when they come back. In addition, let's see if it can be reinforced. Guard Cheng analyzed that these dozens of people should be just the advance troops. Come here Find out what's true." Caring
Xu Shu didn't say anything about the captives. Although everyone is working together to fight against the barbarians, it's more confident to hold this kind of trump card in their own hands.
Zhou Keping expressed concern for Xu Shu a few more words, then slowed down a few steps and began to communicate with Feng, wanting to hear if he had any more opinions.
Xu Shu and his party went to the county government office, and Zhou Keping arranged for someone to take them to the back house to wash up.
The back house was empty, the masters were all gone, a few servants had been taken away, and there were several empty rooms. Cheng Yufeng and several guards also took the opportunity to take a bath to get rid of the bloody smell on their bodies.
After Xu Shu redressed her makeup and changed into the dress that she had just brought over from the Princess Mansion, Captain Meng had already arrived.
He brought two young generals, one was Meng Pei and the other was Zhu San, respectively the eldest son of Colonel Meng and his highly regarded subordinate.
After seeing the ceremony, several people sat down separately.
Captain Meng first expressed his apology for putting Xu Shu in danger.
As far as he was concerned, he didn't think Xu Shu had much to do with him when he met the Hu people, but it was indeed his mistake not to accurately judge the Hu people's next move and take precautions.
This may involve the safety of an entire county or even other parts of Taizhou.
If Xu Shu and the others hadn't happened to go to Xiaoli Village today, and happened to encounter the advance team of the Hu people at that time, they would have discovered it only after they were beaten to the door.
Xu Shu and him exchanged a few polite words.Fortunately, Xiaowei Meng is a rough person, and he doesn't have so many twists and turns, and Xu Shu didn't want to say such nonsense, so she quickly changed the subject:
"Captain Meng, actually I have always been curious about something. I don't know much about the Hu people, but as far as I know, when the Hu people go south, it is often because they lack food after being affected by disasters. But since the beginning of spring this year, there has been no drought or rainfall. It's not too little, and the grassland must be lush with water and grass. This is the season for them to graze.
Even if one or two tribes don't have enough food, they should run away after looting the villages outside the city, instead of gathering so many soldiers to confront us head-on.
So why? "
Colonel Meng pondered for a moment, and then decided to tell the truth:
"Your Highness, the people who invaded this time are the A tribe, they are considered to be a medium-sized tribe on the grassland. This tribe is relatively rich and occupies a good grassland, so unless the times are bad, they rarely offend the frontier.
But what we found out is that in March this year, a coup took place among the Al people, and the uncle of the former Al king poisoned his nephew.
In order to consolidate his power, he married the former queen and the queen mother, who were the third and fourth lan clans. By the way, the former queen was the lan clan of the former king A.
But even so, he failed to completely subdue the tribal forces, and because of the constant internal disputes, he decided to invade the Central Plains. "
Xu Shu was shocked by the complicated ethical relationship of the Hu people, and then began to consider the relationship between the constant disputes and the invasion of the Central Plains.
If Cheng Fei were here, she could probably talk a lot about the relationship between internal contradictions and external contradictions, and that war is a common means for a country to divert internal contradictions...
But she was not there, Xu Shu pondered for a while before asking hesitantly:
"Does he want to take the opportunity to consume those forces that don't accept him on the battlefield? And get some loot by the way? But..."
Xu Shu thought of the prince who was tied up like a swaddling baby. Which father would send his own son to die when he was consuming the enemy?
Xu Shu didn't want to reveal the captive's information so early, but for the sake of the overall situation, she still sent someone to bring the third prince over.
Xiaowei Meng had more dealings with Hu people than Cheng Yufeng. Almost as soon as he was dragged up, he looked at Xu Shu in surprise.
This this……
This is enough to record a great achievement on the battlefield!
The weight of a prince may not be as heavy as that of a barbarian general, but if used well, it can be extremely useful!
Xu Shu stopped Captain Meng from asking with her eyes, and asked someone to take out the cloth from the third prince's mouth.
As soon as the rag was taken out of his mouth, he couldn't help but chirped Xu Shu and the others.
Fortunately, both father and son of the Meng family can speak Hu, so they translated it for Xu Shu:
He said that he has a noble status and cannot be killed casually, so let us not act rashly.
He said he was injured and asked us to find a witch doctor to pray for him and drive away the evil spirits.
……
Xu Shu let him vent for a while, and then asked Colonel Meng:
"If you add him, you see, does this king have other goals?"
