Water Margin people

Chapter 1559 A Group of Prisoners

In the palace.

"Open it, why seal it?"

Sun Lei looked at the sealed door in front of him and said, "This is Bilege's treasure house and also the national treasury of Gaochang Uighurs."

Sun Li just smiled. He didn't dare to open the treasure house privately, as it would be bad if he gave others a chance to talk about him.

The seal was torn off, and the soldiers opened the door of the treasury, and the glittering jewels and precious stones filled the air.

"Really great, look at these! The brothers' work was not in vain!"

Sun Lei looked at the pile of gold, silver and jewelry and laughed. Isn't that golden gold what they needed most?

"Count it!"

Sun Lei gave orders to the military clerks around him, saying that these were the most direct income and could be used immediately. As for the value of the Western Regions, it would take time to realize it.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The chief clerk immediately bowed.

It is a bit complicated to count these things. The Western Regions are not like the Central Plains. There is no standard for the purity of gold and silver, and jewelry is even more complicated.

"Your Majesty, the people from the Mongolian and Wanggu tribes are here!"

Zhu Wu walked over and said this, handing over a memorial.

"Please give the charge?"

Sun Lei frowned as he looked at the three crooked words on the performance sheet.

"This is the confession letter sent by the Mongolian tribe. They were all brought here in prison carts!"

Zhu Wu said.

"These guys are really good at pretending. When I asked them to fight, they were passive and lazy. Now they are doing this. Do they think I will let them go easily?"

Sun Lei was too lazy to even look at the apology. If he had made a mistake, that wasn't the end of it just by apologizing.

"Where are they?"

Sun Lei looked at Zhu Wu and asked.

"It's still thirty miles away from Gaochang City. They came over the Tianshan Mountains. The Gaochang people who were gathering fruits and vegetables at the foot of the mountain saw them!"

Zhu Wu said.

"I saw it, and he's a criminal, so I'll treat him as one!"

Sun Lei said that if the emperor did not go back to meet the prisoners in person, he would lock them up first to give them a warning.

"Oh, right, lock them up together with Yelu Dashi and his gang! Let them have some fun!"

Sun Lei suddenly smiled and spoke.

Sun Lei came to a terrace on the second floor of the imperial palace, from where he could overlook the entire Gaochang City.

"I don't know what's going on with Master Lu!"

Sun Lei was a little worried about Lu Zhishen. If they ran into trouble deep in India, it would be difficult to resolve.

"Your Majesty, Master Lu and his men have elite troops and the navy is guarding them at sea, so they will be fine."

Li Zhu said that based on the known intelligence, there were constant wars in Tianzhu and the local people's combat effectiveness was extremely low.

“Hope everything is OK!”

Sun Lei nodded. This was also an attempt for him. To continue moving westward, he would need the support of religion.

Outside Gaochang City.

The prison van was moving slowly.

Anbahai looked at Gaochang City with complicated eyes. This was his first time in Gaochang City, and he didn't expect to come here in a prison van.

"Military Advisor Zhu."

When An Bahai saw Zhu Wu at the city gate, he immediately started shouting.

“So many people were sent here!”

Zhu Wu looked at the row of prisoner vans and smiled, ignoring An Bahai. "Take them all away."

Zhu Wu waved his hand.

The soldiers immediately pulled the prison cart into the city, and Zhu Wu did not say a word to An Bahai from beginning to end.

This made Anbahai very uneasy. Zhu Wu's attitude was Sun Lei's attitude, and now this attitude showed that Sun Lei was very angry.

The prison van was pulled under a shed in the city square, where there were already quite a few prison vans.

“It’s also difficult!”

"Yelü Dashi!"

"Hebula!"

Everyone recognized each other.

"You traitors deserve what happened to you! You deserve it!"

Yelu Dashi looked at Hebula and sneered. If the Mongolian tribe had not taken the lead in surrendering to Qi, he could have united the grasslands in this battle and threatened the Central Plains from the north.

"Yelü Dashi, aren't you the same? It's cool here?"

Anbahai looked at Yelu Dashi and laughed at him. He realized that Sun Lei was humiliating Yelu Dashi. The temperature in Gaochang was very hot. If people were imprisoned in the open air, they would be sunburned to death in two days.

But setting up a tent is different. It will let the people of Gaochang see the fate of Yelu Dashi in public.

The other Khans had no energy to argue; they just lay in the prison car like old dogs who had accepted their fate.

Another prison van arrived, and more people gathered around.

In order to allow the people to distinguish who was who, there was even a sign in front of each prison car, stating who was in the car.

After resting for two days, the Qi army began to leave the city in batches. They were going to various cities in the Western Regions and completely control the entire Western Regions.

"Li Zhu, Lin Chong, remember to ask for information about Han Shizhong this time. There has been no news from this guy for a long time!"

Sun Lei looked at Lin Chong and others and said that Li Zu, Lin Chong and others were going to lead their troops westward across the Pamir Mountains to Husiwoerduo.

"Your Majesty, General Han will be fine!"

Li Assistant spoke.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will find Han Shizhong!"

Lin Chong replied that Han Shizhong was a brave and resourceful man, and that he and Ma Lin and their men should be safe.

"Go!"

Sun Lei nodded.

"set off!"

At Lin Chong's command, the 40,000-strong army, which was ready to go, headed westward.

Sun Lei also wanted to go to Husiwoerduo to take a look, but the generals all dissuaded him, and this time they were extremely determined. The Western Regions had close exchanges with the Central Plains and were deeply influenced by the Central Plains culture, so it was easier to control.

But beyond the Pamir Mountains and heading west, you reach a truly foreign land filled with foreign barbarians. The Central Plains kingdom of Korea had never set foot there, so everything was unknown.

How could the emperor pass through under such circumstances? He had to at least wait until the army had completely wiped out the disobedience and made sure everything was safe before passing through.

Sun Lei finally listened to the advice. Besides, time seemed to be insufficient. If he went to Husiwoerduo, he would not be able to return to the Central Plains this year. He could not really ignore the huge affairs of Qi State.

The people in the prison car also saw the army leaving the city. They knew that Qi was going to reap the spoils of war. The elite troops of the entire Western Liao had been killed or wounded, and now all parts of Western Liao were simply unable to resist the Qi army.

Yelu Dashi looked very unhappy. The Western Liao Dynasty that he had worked so hard to establish was eventually occupied by others.

Bilege smiled indifferently. The Gaochang Uighurs were finished, but the other three Khanates were not much better and would end up like him.

When he thought of three people taking the blame, Bilege felt much better.

Sun Lei came over with his men at this time. He looked at Hebule, Anbahai and Jiwusi in the cage.

"How is it? Being a prisoner is not bad, right?"

Sun Lei looked at the three people and asked. The man seemed very comfortable lying in the prison van.

"Your Majesty, we know we were wrong. We only hope that Your Majesty will forgive our people for the small contributions our two tribes have made!"

Hebule knelt down in front of Sun Lei and said sincerely that until now Sun Lei had not said what he would do to their two tribes, which meant that there was still hope for their two tribes.
