Since this appointment had nothing to do with her, Zhu Rong didn't care much, and said, "Huh, you don't tell me, I'm not rare to listen."
Liu Xin laughed, hugged Zhu Rong and jumped up, lightly landed on the horse's back, "driving" lightly, the horse walked leisurely to the Han army camp, the fire is very human, without the owner's greeting, He obediently ran behind Liu Xin’s horse,
In fact, the war here has basically ended, but Liu Xin attaches great importance to the five counties of Nanzhong, including Zangke.
Although it is sparsely populated, it is the rear of the entire Yizhou. If the South Central is stable, it will be very beneficial to the development of the entire Yizhou. If the barbarian tribes can sincerely surrender, there is almost no need to send soldiers to guard here. The deployment of Xin’s entire military strength is also very advantageous. In addition, there is another important reason. The South Central area is rich in minerals. Because the Barbarians do not master enough smelting technology, they cannot make good use of them. These minerals can be shipped to in the future. Jingnan provided Liu Xin with a large amount of gold, silver, copper, and iron. Because of this, Liu Xin abandon the northern battlefield and concentrate his efforts on solving the war here.
In history, Zhuge Liang adopted the strategy of seven captures and seven moves, and finally put down the Nanzhong barbarian rebellion. However, the current situation has been different from the history, and Liu Xin's use of this method will not work. First of all, Meng Huo had not yet become the leader of the entire barbarian clan, and his prestige had not reached that level. It was impossible to subdue the entire barbarian clan by subduing him alone. Another, Liu Xin turned Zhu Rong into his own woman, even Meng Huo. Now that he has become the leader of the barbarian tribe, it is impossible for him to be subdued by Liu Xin.
Therefore, in this case, Liu Xin can only take advantage of the barbarian tribes.
The so-called "en" does not mean that Liu Xin let go of the barbarians in front of the tribes, but refers to the policies he implemented. Liu Xin believes that through the gradual implementation of these policies, the lives of the barbarians can be improved, as well as the improvement. The relationship between the two ethnic groups of the Han and the Barbarian, through the spread of the Han culture, will one day make the people of the Barbarian recognize that they are a member of the Han nation.
However, to achieve such an effect, at least several generations or even a dozen generations of people are required to work together. At present, the fastest and most direct means to stabilize the four counties of Nanzhong is "Wei", that is, Liu Xin often talks about killing monkeys and chickens. There are many "chickens" in the entire barbarians, but there are only three "monkeys", that is, the three families of Zhu, Meng, and Feng. The Zhu family and the Feng family are loyal to him, and of course they cannot kill them. Not only can’t kill, but you have to raise it well. In this way, the target of the knife can only be the Meng family, but if you want to use the Meng family, you have to have a better excuse, so Liu Xin hasn’t For the four counties of Nanzhong to use troops, Meng Huo took the initiative to jump out at this moment. Naturally, Liu Xin couldn’t let go of this opportunity.
Feng Lie was standing in the main village of the Meng family, unswervingly implementing the "kill the monkey" order issued by Liu Xin. The entire Meng family was actually composed of 19 tribes, large and small, and these tribes were scattered in different locations. In the stockades, they are not too far apart. Each tribe has its own patriarch and headman, but most of the patriarchs and headmen have been on the battlefield with Menghuo, and now they are all dead.
As early as three years ago in these villages of the Meng family, Feng Lie had come to play more than once. This time he revisited the old place and he was naturally familiar with the road. In addition, the young men of the Meng family were all on the front line and stayed in the village. They were just old and weak women and children, so he broke through seven villages effortlessly, until now he has taken the main village of the Meng family.
In the past, there were conflicts between the various tribes of the barbarians. The defeated side was very miserable. They were called barbarians because they retained many barbaric customs, especially in the way they deal with the enemy, Feng Lie He is also a barbarian. Although he has received a few years of orthodox sinology education, he still retains the wildness of the barbarian in his bones. What's more, he was hit hard by Meng Huo today, and his face was thickly wrapped in six or seven layers of white cloth. Open, you can imagine what a hideous face it is,
Nineteen villages of the Meng family were breached one after another. Everyone who survived in the village was taken to the main village, most of them were women and children.
Looking at the old and weak women and children standing in the large open space in the middle of the Meng family’s main village, Feng Lie was cruel and waved gently at the soldiers behind him. He had already made up his mind, since he wanted to help Liu Xin carry the scapegoat. , Then you have to memorize it thoroughly. Just as Feng Lie wanted to speak and affected the wound on his face, he felt a sharp pain. He couldn't help but hate the roots of his teeth. In vain, he also helped the Meng family hold him in front of Liu Xin. Pleading, but that Meng Huo did not care about the friendship of the past, his face must have been ruined by him.
Feng Lie touched the still aching cheek, raised his hand in the air, and gave an order. As he waved his hand heavily, the family members of the patriarchs and heads of the Meng clan were dragged to him. On the large open space in the middle, soldiers had come to inspect men and women. The men stood on the left and the women stood on the right.
Feng Lie’s soldiers included regular soldiers from the Barbarian Legion and the young men of the Jingnan Barbarian who were temporarily recruited. Those who were responsible for verifying the identity of these patriarchs and family members were naturally regular soldiers from the Barbarian Legion. Although these soldiers were young and vigorous. Due to strict military discipline, I dare not really deliberately use hands and feet on those women, but in order to prevent men from mixing with women, it is inevitable to touch the sexual parts, and it also makes the women's family members rise up. Blushed,
Then someone pushed a cart, and the men walked by the cart one by one under the escort of the soldiers. As long as they were slightly higher than the wheel, they would be dragged by the soldiers to the edge of the open space, where they had been dug long ago. There was a big pit as deep as two people. Soldiers dragged these men here. Without a word, they fell to the ground and slashed them. The blood burst into the place, the head rolled aside, and the headless corpse was Being thrown directly into the pit, the scene is very bloody,
The Meng family has been able to develop so fast in recent years, and it hasn't lost the small tribes around it. This kind of scene has happened more than once in the past, but at that time the sword and axe were placed on the necks of others, and now it is their turn, Rao It is the barbarians who are used to being cruel, and seeing this scene south, there are still many women and children who are scared and crying.
On the other side of the vacant land, the barbarian young men from Jingnan, Bajun, etc. are counting and assigning tens of thousands of ordinary people in the Meng family. They will all be sent to other tribes. The women are forced to marry and the men are used as slaves. Such things are also very common in the daily tribal conflicts of the barbarians, but today’s scale is larger. In fact, for most young women in the Meng family, this is not a bad thing, because their men are all They have been killed in the battle, and now they have become veritable widows. In Nanzhong, where the natural conditions are bad, it is difficult to survive on women alone.
A little bit different from the other side of the open space is that the screams of young women are heard from time to time in the crowd. The young barbarians who are temporarily recruited from various places have not undergone any strict training and do not know what military discipline is. When searching for the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law, he would inevitably add some unclean gestures on his hands, squeeze here, and there, some people even put their arms around the handsome girl and refused to let go. The scene was a little chaotic.
The scream passed into Feng Lie’s ears, his brows were slightly frowned, but he said nothing. This kind of thing is nothing in the eyes of the barbarians, and his attention is still focused on the big pit, the big pit. Blood was already flowing on the side, and the last man who was above the wheel was being pushed over. He was a teenage boy.
This boy is called Meng Qing, the half-brother of Meng Huo. He is the youngest of the brothers. Meng Qing is actually not taller than the wheel. He just shrunk his neck subconsciously when he walked past the wheel. The soldiers pulled it out. When facing death, there were a few people who were not afraid. Meng Qing was just a child. He was spoiled and spoiled by Meng Dan since he was a child. Compared with others, he was more afraid of death, but he was escorted. Their soldiers came from the barbarian legion, and they were all barbarians. They all worshiped heroes, and they didn't look down on people who were greedy for life and fear of death, so they picked Meng Qing out.
Meng Qing saw the people who had been singled out in front of him were in different places, including one of his brothers, and his legs trembled involuntarily.
The soldier who was executing didn’t care about him, kicked him to the ground with one kick, and waved a steel knife to chop at his neck.
Meng Qing didn't know where the strength came from, and struggling to cry loudly: "Please, don't kill me, I really don't have the height of a wheel."
Feng Lie lightly lifted his big hand and pointed to the big car. The soldiers had to drag Meng Qing from the ground again and drew it to the wheel for comparison. It was as high as the wheel.
Since it is generally high, then they are among those who can kill or not. The soldiers could not help but look towards Feng Lie. For those who can or cannot kill, they will generally give them a way of life, not to mention Meng Qing is also a greedy for life and fear of death. There shouldn’t be any threat to leave him, but this Meng Qing Fenglie knows him. He knows that he is Meng Huo’s younger brother. In the spirit of cutting grass and roots, he must be killed. Feng Lie can’t help but feel a little embarrassed.
The soldier following Feng Lie was also a child of Feng’s family, called Feng Ping. Seeing Feng Lie’s hesitation, he whispered a few words in Feng Lie’s ear. Feng Lie pondered for a moment, and finally did something. He nodded, because he was afraid of affecting the injury on his face, Feng Lie could not speak without speaking. He also gave orders instead of using gestures as much as possible. He nodded, obviously agreeing to Feng Ping’s suggestion.
Feng Ping immediately turned around and called a few soldiers, whispered for a while, and a few soldiers knew, ran over to press Meng Qing to the ground, and stripped Meng Qing’s pants three times. Meng Qing was at a loss. The leg was pulled apart by the soldier and opened in a big font. Another soldier drew a bull-eared knife from his waist and squatted down with a grin.
