Country color

Chapter 190
The setting sun is still in the sky, the western sky is burning with orange-red fiery clouds, the grass is blowing in the wind on the vast grassland, and the water is splashing by the Wuhou Qin River.The neighing of the horse has stopped, and the hustle and bustle by the Wuhou Qin River is no longer heard.Wuhou Qinshui was completely dyed red. Under the setting sun, it was unclear for a while whether it was the reflection of the sunset glow or the blood burning half of the river.On the riverside, blood smeared the ground, and the river washed over the riverside corpses over and over again.

After the big victory, Li Chongjiu rode on horseback to inspect the places he passed, and the Hu Han cavalrymen under him all raised their knives and cheered to him, showing the ecstasy after the big victory.On the other side, hundreds of bald-haired Khitans sat on the ground with straw ropes and tendons tied to their hands and feet, their eyes wandering.And he was guarded by the barbarian cavalry with a knife on one side.

Looking at these captives, Li Chongjiu asked Qi Jin, the daughter of the Xi family in the room next to him, "Cheng Jin, how should these prisoners be dealt with?"

Nv Tujin kept falling behind Li Chongjiu's half horse's head, and when he heard his question, she said respectfully: "Of course, everything depends on what the eunuch wants."

Li Chongjiu smiled slightly and said, "If we follow the usual practice, how should we deal with it?"

Nv Qijin said: "If it is normal, there is not enough food on the grassland. Men, old, weak and disabled captives will be killed, but women and children are different. They can be used as goods, or they can be incorporated into the tribe to expand the population. Of course, if it is There is enough food, and it is okay to annex these men as a group, but they are all used as slaves."

Li Chongjiu nodded, and said: "That's okay, there are about 2000 Khitans captured here, and they were scattered among the various ministries."

"Yes." Nu Qijin replied immediately.

Nv Qijin looked around and said: "Prefect, if it weren't for your help, we would not have defeated the [-] Khitan army, conquered Wuhou Qinshui's hometown in less than two years, and rescued the people who were taken away at the beginning. All of you, all of this is thanks to the prefect, and I, Dexi, are all grateful."

Li Chongjiu's truce horse looked back and said, "If you have something to say, you might as well speak up."
Nv Qijin glanced at Li Chongjiu, and said in a strong voice: "Prefect, I might as well speak bluntly. At present, people from all over the tribe are coming to vote, and our tribe has conquered the old land and defeated the deadly enemy Khitan. My family has [-] tribesmen from the Xi tribe. On the banks of Hou Qinshui, open the tooth tent again."

Li Chongjiu squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Reset the tooth tent and order the Sifang tribes. This is the prosperity of the tribes. I should congratulate them."

The female Qijin laughed loudly and said: "The revival of the tribe is a major event right now, but the wolf pack can't do without the wolf king. If we want to survive on the grassland in the Shidexi tribe, we need a strong leader. A woman, her husband who died in the past generation, was okay to take over the position of Qijin, but her current ability is not enough to command [-] troops. Now several elders are discussing the next candidate for Qijin, such as Shi Defeng. Trust, Yinghefu are all possible, which one do you think is the right candidate for the eunuch?"

Li Chongjiu said with a smile: "This is an internal matter of your Shi Dexi, and I am an outsider who is not good at discussing it."

Nv Qijin smiled when she heard this, and said: "The prefect and Shi Deyun are getting married soon, how can they be outsiders." After a pause, Nv Qijin said again: "Erto, Yinghefu is a young and brave boy. They are capable enough to serve as the jin of Shi Dexi's department, but the shortcoming is that they do not have the blood of Shi De Yi's family. Although Shi Defeng has the blood of Shi De's family, the blood relationship is very close. He is far away, not to mention that his ability is far inferior to Ertuo and Yinghefu, and he cannot lead our tribe to prosperity on the grassland, but according to the wishes of the elders, he is the most likely among the three."

Li Chongjiu narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and the girl said with a smile: "Because you and Yun'er are getting married soon, as a mother-in-law, I boldly call you Xiaojiu. In fact, I have the most suitable candidate. I don't know Xiaojiu." Nine, do you want to listen?"

Li Chongjiu held his horsewhip and said, "Speak up, please!"

Nv Qijin said: "I have been watching people on the grassland for many years, but I have never met Xiaojiu, a young man who is so heroic. Not only me, but my tribe doesn't mind your Han nationality at all. On the contrary, I treat you very much." Awe. What's more, Xiaojiu is very kind to my family. I have discussed with all the elders in the tribe. If Xiaojiu is willing to accept the daughter as a key, then all [-] people in my family are willing to serve you. You have won Xibu for my room!"

Ke Dun on the grassland is the official wife of the leader of the grassland tribe.At this moment, Li Chongjiu suddenly thought of what Yinghefu said to him before the Khitan army came to attack, and now Nuqijin spoke up.

Nv Chengjin said: "It wasn't on my whim. I heard that Xiaojiu you like the daughter of a high-ranking official in the Central Plains, and you want to marry her as your wife, but what's wrong with his father... Hey, but if you don't agree, you won't. As the saying goes, there is no need for a good man to have a wife. What's more, Xiao Jiu, you are a hero in the world, so how can you not have a woman to match? It is his loss that the Central Plains officials look down on you. Just waiting blindly is not a solution. Use you Central Plains In other words, why don't you cherish the person in front of you, you must know that the little girl is infatuated with you, so why do you let her wait like this forever."

The girl's words were very sincere, and Li Chongjiu smiled slightly, but did not answer directly.

The next day when the army returned to Yuyi Town, Li Hu, Ji Chuan and the city, as well as the people of the Xi tribe all went thirty miles outside the city to welcome them. Needless to say, there was joy after a big victory.The rise of a tribe in the grassland is based on the decline of a tribe. In this battle, the Khitans were defeated, and they were also strong enemies who oppressed themselves in the past.Shi Dexi was delighted after the eight-year victory of the Anti-Japanese War. Even Tan Zong, Zhou Xu and others came to Yuyi Town to congratulate Li Chongjiu on the victory. Congratulate Li Chongjiu, and present a rich congratulatory letter.

Under the great victory, within dozens of miles of Yuyi Town, it can be said to be full of cheers.Just as the dusk was getting darker, a crooked eyebrow moon rose from the sky, and outside Yuyi town was the sound of drums and music. In the camp, Shi Dexi's clansmen were roasting cattle and sheep, and some were playing piano and music. It was a joyous scene.Even Ji Chuan and Zhou Xu, who had always held the defense against Yi and Xia, and many other Han Chinese from the Cangtou Army were also infected by Xi Ren's woman's enthusiasm, and were dragged into the bonfire meeting to sing and dance.

Under the stars and the moon, Li Chongjiu was on the top of the city, watching the people in the camp singing and dancing, but he was somewhat melancholy.From Jinyang to Feihu County, and then to Yuyi Town, in the past two months, there were either wars or fighting, and his situation was always in chaos.Now that Wuhou Qinshui has won the battle, defeated the Khitan people, and reversed the immediate disadvantage, it is time to think about his own affairs.
