The Golden Family, rising from the Western Regions

Chapter 32 The battle is over, the roots are cut off

"The injury is not light~"

When Luo Meng and Erhu crawled into the cellar, they took out a seriously injured and unconscious teenager and laid him flat on the kang.

Li Xiao lifted the boy's clothes on his chest, looked at the wound in front of him, shook his head softly and said.

"He was fighting with a mounted enemy, who struck him in the chest with a scimitar from the front."

Based on the boy's injuries, Li Xiao quickly deduced the situation of the battle in his mind.

It was obvious that the enemy was a strong adult Qarlug, whose strength and combat experience were far beyond the reach of a teenager like him.

"And he has been injured for at least two or three days." Li Xiao said softly.

The boy's injuries were very serious. There was a deep knife wound on his chest that went from his shoulder to his abdomen. The skin and flesh were turned outward and had never healed.

And because it rained for the past two days, a large number of bacteria grew in the humid air in the cellar.

And without effective treatment, the flesh around the wound has begun to rot and ooze white pus.

The moment you lift up the clothes, you can clearly smell a fishy odor.

"The injury is too severe, and it has been delayed for too long. The flesh has started to rot. I'm afraid there is no way to save him." Luo Meng looked at the wound and shook his head slightly.

They often fought with other tribes and villages, and had many scars on their bodies, but Luo Meng had never seen anyone survive with scars as serious as this young man's.

"He was a good man, what a pity~" Erhu said with a look of regret.

What he admires most is the Warriors.

The young man in front of him, who was only two years older than him, dared to fight the Qarlug people. Just for this reason, Erhu looked up to him.

"It's not necessarily hopeless~" Li Xiao said softly to himself as he looked at the boy's wound.

In his previous life, Li Xiao was in the army and had been trained on how to deal with infected wounds in emergency situations.

He has also read many books on black technology, which contain a lot of good things.

After returning, Li Xiao planned to make it and give it a try.

Maybe it can save the boy's life.

……

Soon, Li Xiao and others took the two unconscious siblings out of the yard.

The battle is not over yet, and Li Xiao and others cannot rest for the time being.

Moreover, the Karluks in Sanhe Fort had not been completely cleared out, so it was not safe to leave the two siblings in the village.

So, Li Xiao asked Erhu to find a carriage, load the unconscious boy and the body of the Karluk leader onto it and take them away.

As for the unconscious girl, Li Xiao said he could do it for her.

After all, the carriage was full after loading two people.

After helping the unconscious girl onto the horse, Li Xiao jumped directly on and sat behind the girl.

He held the lance in one hand and the reins in the other, while also supporting the girl's waist to prevent her from falling.

When the group walked out of the yard, they happened to meet Li Dashan and others.

After the two looked at each other, they were both stunned for a moment.

Li Xiao was holding a young girl in front of him, while Li Dashan was also carrying an unconscious woman on his horse.

"Hey? Where did this little girl come from?"

Li Dashan said in surprise when he saw the girl in front of Li Xiao.

"The girl from Sanhe Fort was picked up from the cellar!" said Li Xiao.

Li Dashan smiled suddenly: "Haha, Dalong, I heard that your grandma and your mother are planning to find you a wife!"

"I didn't expect that I would find it by myself."

"The little girl is quite pretty. Dalong, you have good taste."

Li Dashan shook his head and stared at the girl's face covered in stains and blood. He took a look and nodded with satisfaction.

Hearing this, Li Xiao immediately rolled his eyes at him.

"That's not true! Uncle Six, please don't talk nonsense~"

"What's going on with you? Be careful or I'll go back and complain to my Sixth Aunt."

Li Xiao pointed at the woman on Li Dashan's horse and said.

Li Xiao has seen this woman before.

It was the pair of aunts and sisters-in-law who had attacked Li Dashan and others before, and the younger sister-in-law.

She looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, quite pretty and with a good figure, but she had been knocked unconscious at this moment.

As for the other young Qarlug woman, she was carried on the horse's back by Chen Erqiang behind her.

Li Xiao looked at them deeply.

"There's something wrong with these two bastards."

They are all men, how could Li Xiao not understand their dirty thoughts?
Li Dashan laughed dryly: "Well, don't tell your aunt when you go back."

"Tsk~" Li Xiao rolled his eyes at him, turned around and left.

After returning to the camp, Li Xiao watched helplessly as the two bastards hid the aunt and sister-in-law in the tent he had just set up.

"Damn, these two bastards."

"You really know how to enjoy yourself." Li Xiao gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart.

Aunt~
It’s really exciting.

Unlike the girl in his arms, who can be looked at but not eaten.

However, in this situation, Li Xiao really didn't have any romantic thoughts.

After entrusting the brother and sister to the care of the rescued Han people from Sanhe Fort, Li Xiao continued to lead his men to clean up the escaped Karluk.

At this time, the Qarlug people had long lost the strength to resist. When they were discovered by the Han soldiers, their unified action was to kneel down and surrender.

As a result, the number of Karluk people in the prisoner camp outside Sanhebao continued to increase.

Most of them were women under the age of 40, as well as some other men who had lost their fighting ability or were even too cowardly to resist.

They tried to save their lives by surrendering.

As time passed, the eastern sky began to show a faint pale sky, and the light of dawn was about to pierce this dark land.

The rain disappeared unnoticed, and nature seemed to have returned to calm.

The battle of Sanhebao was also declared over.

At this time, Hedong Fort Lord Luo Ping approached Li Xiao. "Dalong, I think the battlefield is almost cleaned up. It's time for us brothers to rest!"

rest?

Hearing Li Dashan's words, Li Xiao's gaze unconsciously turned to the camp where the prisoners were held in the distance.

Of course he understood what Li Dashan meant. This rest was not just sleeping.

The key is to sleep, not to sleep.

"What did my grandfather say?" Li Xiao asked directly.

Luo Ping chuckled: "Uncle Li said that now that you are the Lord of Hexi Fort, you can arrange this kind of thing, and he won't get involved."

Hearing this, Li Xiao nodded slightly.

Ok!

The old man actually let me arrange such a thing. He really doesn't treat me as a child.

So he said, "Uncle Luo, I don't really understand this kind of thing. Just follow the old rules and regulations."

Luo Ping suddenly laughed and winked at Li Xiao.

"The old rule was that we, the castle lords, got to choose first."

"Then the brothers will choose according to their merits."

"Now that you are the Lord of Hexi Fort, let's go over and have a word, otherwise the brothers won't be able to have fun in peace."

What to choose?

What else can this Dogelulu female captive choose?

However, his soul came from the afterlife after all, and he felt a little uncomfortable with such barbaric behavior.

But morality can only restrain Li Xiao himself, and cannot be used to demand soldiers of this era.

What's more, Luo Ping's men are not regular soldiers, they are just a group of herdsmen with weapons.

Although he is the lord of Hexi Fort, he cannot change this tacit rule.

Li Xiao shook his head helplessly and smiled: "Uncle Luo, I have other things to do, you guys make your own arrangements."

"Do not bother me."

Luo Ping thought that Li Xiao was a young man with a timid face and would be embarrassed to face such things.

But how could a young man full of vigor and vitality be so easily restrained?
So he smiled and said, "Dalong, if you're embarrassed, I, your uncle Luo, will help you."

"Wait a minute, I'll pick out two pretty girls and send them to you to set up the tent."

After saying this, regardless of Li Xiao's objection, Luo Ping laughed heartily and rode away on his horse.

Looking at Luo Ping's back without even turning his head, Li Xiao kept shouting: "Ah, ah, ah, ah~"

"Uncle Luo~"

"Uncle Luo~"

But he found that Luo Ping seemed to be unable to hear at all, and ran away in the blink of an eye.

In the end, Li Xiao could only sigh helplessly.

"Hey~"

"Uncle Luo, you've caused me so much trouble!"

After saying that, Li Xiao shook his head, followed Luo Ping on horseback, and headed towards the prisoner-of-war camp.

Although Hexi Fort was not bound by military regulations, there were different levels of status within it.

If Li Xiao, the lord of the fort, did not speak, the herdsmen of Hexi Fort would probably complain.

When we arrived at the prisoner camp, it became even more chaotic.

There was no time to deal with the blood and corpses on the ground, and then many prisoners were brought in.

There were screams and pleas for mercy everywhere.

"Woooooo~"

"Help, don't kill me~"

"That's my child, please, give it back to me~"

Basically, all the people here are women, and they are all young and fertile.

After nearly an hour of fighting, more than half of the men in the Qarluk tribe, which had more than 3,000 people, died, leaving only women and children.

The custom of the nomadic people on the grassland is not to kill children who are younger than the wheel.

But the Han people do not have this habit.

The Han people in northern Xinjiang, who were influenced by the Central Plains culture, only knew one sentence.

"If you don't remove the roots, you'll have endless troubles."

Those boys who managed to survive were ultimately unable to escape the clutches of the devil.

So we saw a scene like this: mothers hugged their children tightly and cried and begged the Han soldiers.

But all he got in return was a beating, and the soldiers dragged the boy away roughly.

"Oh, what a tragedy!"

In the camp, Luo Ping was riding on his horse, looking at the women and teenagers who were gathered together in the distance, crying and begging, and he smiled.

He turned to look at Li Xiao next to him and said, "Dalong, I feel like we are simply a group of demons. We are such bastards. What we do is inhumane."

"We will definitely go to hell later."

Listening to Luo Ping's teasing, Li Xiao chuckled lightly, and the orange-red firelight shone on his indifferent face.

Looking at the tragic fate of the Qarlug people, his heart, as cold as ice, was not moved at all.

He said with an unchanging expression, "Hell? Humph, Uncle Luo, do you believe in such a thing?"

Luo Ping laughed out loud: "I don't believe it."

"Who would believe that bunch of bald asses?"

"And even if there really is hell, it's these Qarlugs who will go there first."

The Qarlugs were warlike and cruel by nature, and the Han captives who fell into their hands were no better.

What the Qarlugs did was even more excessive than what the Han people did at that time.

So Li Xiao and his men did not feel sorry for the Karluk people at all, they just felt that they had killed too few Karluk people.
