evil slave

On both sides of the Ula River, Daur villages are dotted like an astrolabe. 【】Green pastures with galloping horses and flocks of cattle and sheep; the plowed land is black and oily, with barley, oats, cucumbers, buckwheat and peas and many other crops planted; patches of fruit trees bear apples, pears, walnuts and hazelnuts, etc. Tempting fruit.From time to time, the heroic songs of Daur hunters can be heard from the lush primeval forest.It was August, and the weather on both sides of the Wula River was pleasant, and the crops in the field would be harvested in more than a month.However, the vicinity of the Wula River has been desolate and sparsely populated for several months. Compared with the previous scene, this land seems to have been reduced to a dead land, and it is no longer a paradise for Daur people to live in peace.

Under the bright sun, a rush of horseshoes broke the deathly silence, and a group of knights in brocade clothes and armor quickly passed through the birch forest to the outside of a village.However, what was before them was an extremely miserable scene.This formerly beautiful and rich Daur village has become a burning ruin.The villagers in the village seemed to have fled in all directions, and the whole village was empty.Occasionally, a few birdsong from the woods can be heard even in broad daylight.

Facing the scene in front of him, the leader of the old knight showed a painful look on his face. He got off his horse and walked straight to the ridge.Harvest was still a few months away, but like the village, it had been looted.The oats and other crops originally planted in the field are now only some scattered wheat stalks.The frowning old knight knelt down and grabbed a handful of dirt.It was a handful of fertile black soil, but the old knight felt that it was extremely thorny in his hand.He seemed to see farmers lying on the ridges of the fields, herdsmen being shot off their horses, and a group of armed Rakshasa soldiers chasing hunters wearing animal skins and holding bows and arrows.Thinking of this, the old knight couldn't help clenching his hands even tighter, wishing he could squeeze out the blood soaked in the black soil.

"General, there is no one in the village, and they were all killed by the Rakshasa people! The last general requests to lead his troops to chase down the invading Rakshasa ghosts!"

A report from a general interrupted the old knight's thoughts, and he couldn't help but look up at the general standing beside him.This is an unusually young knight, with a round baby face that seems to be still childish.But his expression now is like that of an angry cub.It seemed that as long as the old knight gave an order, he would rush to chase and kill those murderers without hesitation.However, the old knight got up and ordered decisively: "No, let's go back. Guo Tai, you send someone to tell the tribes along the river to evacuate the nearby tribes as soon as possible, to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and never let the Raksha people come from us." Grab a grain!"

"Yes, General."

Guo Tai was a little disappointed that he didn't wait for the general's pursuit order. He hesitated for a while and finally accepted his task honestly.The old knight in front of Guo Tai is General Ningguta Bahai. Guo Tai is full of respect for General Bahai. Guo Tai has no doubts about any of his decisions. He will obey even if it is wrong. Thinking of letting those "Raksha ghosts" go away again, Guo Tai felt somewhat unwilling. Those Raksha ghosts are not human, they are animals!They're a bunch of cannibals!

I don't know when a group of strange people with blue eyes and red hair suddenly appeared in the north of the Qing Dynasty.At first, the local Daur people received this group of self-proclaimed "Cossacks" kindly.Send them food, firewood, and more.But instead of expressing gratitude to the Daur people for their kindness, they kidnapped the leaders of the Daur people as "hostages" and carried out endless extortion against them.This naturally aroused the dissatisfaction and resistance of the local people.However, this group of Cossacks was more ferocious than the wolf.With their guns and cannons, they wantonly destroyed villages and looted people.They drowned all the captured men, "divided" their wives, children, and minks, and even hunted local people for food in winter when there was no food.All kinds of heinous evil deeds made people of all ethnic groups call them "cannibal Rakshasa" without hatred.

Since the spring of this year, Raksha ghosts have once again descended along the Wula River to attack the tribal people along the banks. This time they have twice as many people as they came three years ago, and they are also very well prepared with firearms and ammunition.Facing the menacing invasion of Rakshasa ghosts, General Ningguta's mansion is naturally like a neighboring enemy, and strictly ordered all tribes along the Wula River to guard against it.But what made Guo Tai very puzzled and depressed was that there were only more than 100 Raksha ghosts invading, but General Bahai was unwilling to mobilize the army to encircle them, but let the border residents passively defend, watching a Another village was ransacked by Rakshasa ghosts.

Guo Tai couldn't figure out why General Bahai became so timid now, where did his courage to fight against the Raksha people go?Thinking of this, Guo Tai couldn't help but sneak a glance at the stern-faced General Bahai beside him, only to see the wrinkles on General Bahai's face deepened in the setting sun.

"General, there are still dozens of miles away from Songshan Fort. According to the three Wu Ni, Zhao Qiang, the leader of the rebellion, and a group of rebels are hiding in a place more than 100 miles north of Songshan Fort. Please give an order, whether the last general should immediately Lead your troops to encircle and suppress them?"

The one who spoke was Fu Luoluo, the co-leader. Seeing General Bahai staring at the wheat field in a daze, he came to ask whether he should continue to march north.

Not wanting to, Bahai shook his head and said to Fu Luoluo: "Let these Wu Ni and Luocha people bite dogs, you send people to contact them, their current movements, and if necessary, you can give them some weapons. "

"General, I'm afraid this is not very good?" Fu Luoluo was stunned by Bahai's words. It's fine if he doesn't destroy Wu Ni, how can he give them weapons?Guo Tai on the side was also dumbfounded, why did the general suddenly change his mind?

Bahai glanced at Fu Luoluo with an expression on his face: "What's wrong?" He walked a few steps forward, turned to Fu Luoluo and Guo Tai and said, "Isn't it a good thing for someone to beat the Rakshasa people for us? "

"This"

Fu Luoluo and Guo Tai looked at each other, not knowing what to say.Ba Hai also ignored the hesitation of the two, and ordered: "Tell that Zhao Qiang, just say that the general said, if he is willing to submit, the general can protect him as a guerrilla, but the premise is that he must beheaded for the general. Enough Rakshasa heads. You tell him that this is his only chance, if he doesn't seize it, then the general will let him die twice!" After giving the order, seeing that Fu Luoluo didn't move, Baba Hai was a little dissatisfied, and said in a stern tone: "Not yet!"

"twitter!"

Fu Luoluo was shocked, hurriedly responded, and quickly retreated to arrange for people to contact those Wu Ni.

After Fu Luoluo went down, Guo Tai stood there hesitating for a while, and then walked up to the general boldly, and said cautiously: "General, I heard that the imperial envoy is still in Heilongjiang, and Sabusu also knows about Wu Ni's defection." Yes, if he tells the imperial envoy about this matter, I'm afraid the emperor will blame the general, and then..." Guo Tai couldn't say clearly what he said next, seeing that the general didn't seem to care much, and his expression was very calm, Guo Tai was anxious and worried. Yi Heng, gritted his teeth and said: "The general thought that these Wu Ni should not be tolerated and raped, but should be suppressed quickly! The same should be done for the Raksha people, and they must never be allowed to dominate my land of the Qing Dynasty and harm them. I am a citizen of the Qing Dynasty! The general speaks from his heart, the general indulged the Raksha people, and what he did to Wu Ni is really hard for the general to accept!"

After Guo Tai finished speaking, he knelt heavily on the ground. Although he was regarded as his own by Bahai and taught him carefully, it was the first time he had spoken like this. Although he didn't regret it, he was also very disturbed, lest the general would be annoyed by it. own.

However, after hearing this, Bahai did not furiously scold Guo Tai. Instead, he gave Guo Tai a kind look and said softly: "You are still young after all, and some things are easier to think about. Let me ask you, the most important thing in the court Who are the people who want to beat the Rakshasa people?"

"Ok?"

Guo Tai was going to be scolded, but he didn't expect Bahai to ask him this, he was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said: "Isn't the emperor's intention to conquer Luocha in the north?"

"What does the emperor mean?"

Bahai laughed when he heard the words, and then said to Guo Tai seriously: "If there is no advice from the ministers, would the emperor work so hard to mobilize everyone to deal with Rakshasa?" Before Guo Tai could reply, Bahai walked forward. Afterwards, Ba Hai said: "Wu Sangui rebelled, it was Mingzhu who advocated to put down the rebellion, Taiwan's Zheng family also advocated the recovery by force, and now the Northern Conquest of Raksha is also Mingzhu's loudest call. Right now San Francisco is flat, and Taiwan has taken over." , Mingzhu's status is also rising. In the eyes of the emperor, he is the minister of the arm and arm, the man who rebuilds the country. It is said that some people in the capital call him Mingxiang, and there are countless courtiers who belong to him. Hehe, but the credit in this world can't be Let him scoop up all the pearls by himself, and you have to give them to others..." Speaking of this, Bahai stopped suddenly, and glanced at Guo Tai: "I ask you, do you know who and Mingzhu are the most difficult to deal with? "

"Suo Etu!"

Guo Tai blurted out the word "Suo'etu" almost without any hesitation or consideration. Bahai nodded slightly after hearing this, and then said: "Suo'etu is the master of peace, Wu Sangui raised troops and he is the master of peace. He also advocates peace. I heard that Suo'etu also wants to make peace with the Raksha people. In this way, can there be no conflicts between him and Mingzhu who is the main battle? Besides, he has always been dissatisfied with Mingzhu. You say this Will the Northern Expedition to the Rakshasa be as simple as the table?"

Guo Tai savored it carefully, and the general said it was right, but it was a matter of Zhao's intrigue, and it could not involve Ning Gutatou.

"But Mingzhu and Suo'etu are important ministers of the imperial court. Whether they have conflicts has nothing to do with us."

"There is a prince behind Suo'etu, and I am getting older, and I am less concerned about fame and fortune, but I have to think about the following." Bahai sighed: "If I die, this Ninggu Tower There must be a replacement, and no one will be able to take care of you at that time. At the beginning of the year, Suo'etu sent me a letter. After thinking about it for a long time, I agreed to his request, so You will come to the point where I am no longer as good as before to the Raksha people. Maybe you will all blame me in your heart, but this is also a helpless thing. But the days of the Raksha people are coming to an end, of course I, Ning Guta, can’t do anything to them , but Heilongjiang is going to fight a big battle. The emperor has already decided to go to war, and this battle is definitely going to be fought. I have done everything I promised to Suo'etu. Now it is up to him whether he can start planning It's over."

Guo Tai wanted to know what the general agreed to Suo'etu, but the general didn't say a word, and he didn't look like he was going to tell himself. Although he was very curious, he couldn't help but dare not ask the general what he promised to Suo'etu. .However, he understood why the general ignored the Raksha people so much. It must be that Suo'etu had promised the general something, otherwise the general would not have turned a deaf ear to the Raksha people.

As Ba Hai silently walked forward for another tens of meters, Guo Tai said: "Is the general really going to recruit this gang of Wu Ni?"

"What do you think?" Ba Hai glanced at Guo Tai meaningfully.

"I don't know the end." Guo Tai honestly shook his head.

"I have done everything for Suo'etu for him, but Wu Ni's incident was an accident. Since they only dare to operate in the territory of the Raksha people, let them do so. The emperor is so determined to follow The Raksha people fought a battle, and I couldn’t justify the fact that there was no movement in the ancient pagoda. The appearance of this gang of Wu Ni just happened to help us, so we used them. The Han people call this killing with a knife, and killing Luo with Wu Ni’s hand Sharen, let the Raksha people kill Wu Ni and let them bite dogs, if this group of Wu Ni can really gain something, I can also have an explanation to the emperor."

"General wise!"

Guo Tai gave a compliment, and remembering something, he couldn't help saying: "Didn't Shu Mulu die in vain?"

Hearing Guo Tai mention Shu Mulu, Bahai snorted coldly: "This idiot will die as soon as he dies, but he lost more than 500 garrison soldiers in my Zhenghong flag. It is really useful. Don't mention this idiot in front of me in the future."
