The king behind the empress

Chapter 416 The Future of the Barbarians

Wu Lianghe sat on the horseback and looked at Kou Yi with a gloomy expression. For a while, the atmosphere between the two was a little tense.

Regarding the unification of the barbarians, the Wuliang merger did not take the initiative to spread the news. In order to keep a low profile, he deliberately blocked the news, and even made some tribes continue to fight in order not to attract the attention of Da Zhou.

But now, Kou Yi directly calls himself the lord of the barbarians, which shows that Kou Yi must be very aware of the things on the grassland, and the blindfolds he has done have not been able to hide it from him at all.

And if this is the case, then Kou Yi's purpose of sending troops this time is a bit difficult to say.

Wu Lianghe stared at Kou Yi coldly for a long time, and when the attendants on both sides were a little nervous and touched the weapons, Wu Lianghe's expression suddenly eased, showing a faint smile, and said: "I didn't expect that , Old General Kou has retired for so long, yet he still cares so much about the affairs of my grassland."

"It's just that although I like the title of Lord of the Barbarians, I still can't bear it now, at least your Great Zhou court thinks I can't bear it."

Speaking of this, Wu Lianghe looked at Kou Yi sarcastically, and said, "Otherwise, the 4 people who came this time would not be General Kou, who is [-] horses. Are you right?"

Kou Yi pointed out Wu Lianghe's identity with words, and Wu Lianghe did not show any weakness, and directly hinted at Kou Yi, saying that the imperial court did not believe his words, otherwise, given the great importance Zhou attached to the barbarians, he would definitely send heavy troops at all costs out of customs.

But now, Kou Yi is the only one who came here, which means that Kou Yi's prestige probably brought in this matter, otherwise it wouldn't be the only one.

Hearing what Wu Lianghe said, Kou Yi couldn't help but look down, but naturally he wouldn't talk to Wu Lianghe about the affairs of the court, so he directly took what Mo Zizai replied to him at that time, and said, "You wait The barbarians are nothing more than clowns, and they are worth my big fight?"

"My 4 people are enough to level your Taichiwu tribe."

"This doesn't sound like something that came out of the mouth of Old General Kou."

Wu Lianghe, who was scolded as a clown, didn't get angry at all. Instead, he laughed directly, "Old General Kou has dealt with us barbarians all his life. Old General Kou knows best whether we are picky clowns, so this It definitely won’t be the old general Kou who said it.”

"Let me think about it."

Wu Lianghe sat on the horse's back, shook the whip in his hand lightly, and said slowly: "In Da Zhou, although the throne belongs to the empress, the real master seems to be the young prince who just came out of the ground, right? "

"Just after returning to the palace, more than half of the heads of the court ministers were chopped off, and the aristocratic families and royal family members of the three places were also wiped out. It should be normal for such a 'young and promising' prince to be a little arrogant, so this is what he said. Can the prince take it back for you, Old General Kou?"

"Hahaha……"

Kou Yi looked at the laughing Wu Lianghe, and a killing intent flashed in his eyes, but it wasn't because Wu Lianghe guessed the truth that made him angry and wanted to kill him, the real reason why he wanted to kill Wu Lianghe was, um Two boxes of this person is fighting in the grassland, but at the same time he can know the situation of Dazhou like the palm of his hand, which shows that Wu Lianghe has long coveted Dazhou, and this person must not be kept.

It's just that Kou Yi glanced at the army behind Wu Liang, and felt a sense of helplessness in his heart.

Wu Lianghe brought nearly 10 people this time. Although I don’t know who are the elite of Wu Lianghe’s headquarters, it can be seen from their neat army formation that whether these soldiers are elite or not, they are all scattered like before. Barbarian soldiers are a little different.

So what he should consider now is not how to kill Wu Lianghe, but how to survive under Wu Lianghe's hands for too long.

"I didn't expect it to be so rare for the barbarian to know so much about my Great Zhou."

Because he was in a bad mood, Kou Yi didn't bother to refute or refute anything else, and said directly to Wu Lianghe: "But the barbarian asked the old man to come out this time, if it's just for talking about these things, I'll forgive the old man for not being with you."

Seeing that Kou Yi reined in his horse to leave, Wu Lianghe hurriedly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, old general Kou, this king invited old general Kou to come this time, in fact, we have something to discuss."

"The old man is not familiar with you, so there are so many old things to tell."

Kou Yi, who had lost his patience, did not speak as politely as before, and directly opened his mouth, "So it's okay to talk about things, there's no need to talk about it."

Although Wu Lianghe knew that Kou Yi lost his temper because he was provoked by what he said, but seeing Kou Yi's ruthless attitude, his face turned pale with anger, and the horsewhip in his hand was almost pinched into pieces by him. powdered.

But he thought about Kou Yi's identity and the consequences of besieging Kou Yi's [-] troops here, and he swallowed this breath forcefully.

"Old General Kou, I would like to ask, why did you use troops against my barbarians for no reason this time?"

"No reason?"

Kou Yi snorted, and said, "The old man also wants to ask you, why was I slaughtered for no reason?"

"This matter was done by some rebels of our barbarians, in order to stir up the hatred between Da Zhou and our barbarians."

Hearing what Kou Yi said, Wu Lianghe had a smile on his face, and then continued: "Of course, this king also knows that with such a simple statement, there is definitely no way to convince Old General Kou."

"So in order to show the sincerity of our barbarians, this king is willing to personally kill those rebels. Within seven days, their heads will be sent to give an explanation to the people who died in Dazhou."

After saying this, Wu Lianghe didn't wait for Kou Yi to speak, and went on to say: "If the old general Kou is still not satisfied, you can choose from the tribes near the gate that day. If we need evidence, this king will slaughter them as well and send their heads to Old General Kou, I wonder what Old General Kou wants?"

Hearing that Wu Lianghe would say that, Kou Yi couldn't help being shocked.

Before Wu Lianghe came, he had slaughtered six barbarian tribes. He didn't believe that Wu Lianghe didn't know about it, but now Wu Lianghe not only didn't mention it, but was very cooperative in arresting the rebels, and even brought it up. , as long as Kou Yi thinks that any tribe is not pleasing to the eye, he can kill that tribe himself to appease Kou Yi's anger.

From this aspect, Wu Lianghe's attitude is not too low, and his sincerity is not lacking.

But the problem is that today's Kou Yi is here to find fault, no matter how sincere Wu Lianghe is, he will never agree.

So after a moment of silence, Kou Yi said, "Savage Lord, if there is a wolf cub by your side, will you let it grow up and eat you?"

Hearing the words asked by Kou Yi, the smile on Wu Lianghe's face suddenly subsided. On the way to encircle and suppress Kou Yi this time, he thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to let go of his prestige among the barbarians first.

After all, his prestige among the barbarians was achieved by himself. No matter how big the barbarians had opinions on him, as long as he had the army in hand, the barbarians would not dare to disobey his orders, so in the future, he only needed to be able to Bring tangible benefits to the barbarians, then his prestige will naturally return.

Regarding this point, Wu Lianghe still learned from Mo Zizai. After all, Da Zhou is so respectful of rules, and Mo Zizai dared to kill ministers at will. Then, as a barbarian, he, for the benefit of the barbarians, why can’t he sacrifice the barbarians? tribe.

Of course, Wu Lianghe feels that there is still a difference between himself and Mo Zizai. The most important point is that Wu Lianghe feels that his army is stronger than Mo Zizai's. If he sacrifices the barbarian tribe at will, he can guarantee that no one will dare He made irresponsible remarks in front of his face, and no one would dare to jump out and rebel.

It was precisely because of this that he was so complacent, and even made those conditions a little groveling, in order not to conflict with Da Zhou for the time being, so that when Da Zhou was weak, he would stab Da Zhou fiercely again, Maybe even directly stabbing Da Zhou to death.

However, after hearing Kou Yi's question about the cub, he knew that when he came, the worst plan happened.

Kou Yi, the old bastard, just wants 4 of them to die here, and then attract the attention of the Great Zhou court.

And this old bastard, maybe he has already spread the news of his barbarian unification. When 4 of them died in the hands of his own people, the people he arranged in advance will make a big publicity. Regardless of whether the imperial court and those aristocratic families are willing or not, they must first let go of their grudges and deal with our barbarians.

This old bastard doesn't even care about his own life, how cruel!
Wu Lianghe gritted his teeth and looked at Kou Yi, but he didn't dare to act rashly, and Kou Yi saw Wu Lianghe's ugly expression, but didn't say a word, so he didn't say anything, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute!!!"

Wu Lianghe called out to stop Kou Yi again, but this time when he spoke, the horsewhip in his hand turned into powder with a "wow", but Wu Lianghe didn't care at all, but said with a ferocious face: "Yanling Mountain, it is enough for this king to give up Yanling Mountain!!!"

Kou Yi, who had just turned his horse's head and was about to leave, froze on the horse's back when he heard what Wu Lianghe said. Then he turned his head, looked at Wu Lianghe in disbelief, and asked, "The barbarian just said what?"

"This king said, this king will give up Yanling Mountain, and let my barbarian people retreat behind Yanling Mountain!"

Wu Liang looked at Kou Yi with red eyes, and said word by word: "So, can you reassure Old General Kou? Can you make Old General Kou believe that we, barbarians, have no intention of coveting the Great Zhou?"

Yanling Mountain is the second largest mountain on the grassland besides Tianzhu Mountain, and it is also the second holy mountain chosen by these grassland barbarians to come down from Tianzhu Mountain. This mountain is not only extraordinary in the eyes of the barbarians, but also its geographical location is very important.

When the Great Zhou used troops on the grasslands, the farthest it could reach was the foot of Yanling Mountain. No one could lead troops to defeat the steep Yanling Mountain.

But then again, the terrain of Yanling Mountain is dangerous not only for the people of Dazhou, but also for the barbarians. If Wu Lianghe gives up this mountain, unless the soldiers of Dazhou are all dead, the barbarians will never want to take a step out of Yanling Mountain. .

"Isn't the barbarian making fun of this old man?"

No matter what Kou Yi thinks, he feels something is wrong. Although his [-] troops are all elite, for Wu Lianghe, eating them is just a matter of how much loss he has to pay, and it is not a concern at all.

As for the Great Zhou side, if they really had a decisive battle with the barbarians, although the barbarians had little chance of winning, they were not incapable of fighting.

So Kou Yi thought for a long time, and felt that Wu Lianghe's concession was simply unreasonable. Could it be that he wanted to delay?
Seeing Kou Yi's suspicious eyes, Wu Lianghe calmed down, and his face became much calmer, "To be honest, I have studied in Dazhou for decades, and I admire Dazhou's culture very much, so I don't want to It will destroy the peace between the barbarians and the Great Zhou, so this king is willing to make the greatest concession, and I hope that Old General Kou will not worry too much."

"Old General Kou doesn't have to worry about me delaying the time. Within seven days, I will hand over Yanling Mountain to General Kou. How about Old General Kou?"

Speaking of this, Wu Lianghe's tone became a little tougher, and he said with a little threat: "This is already the biggest concession I have made. If the old general Kou still doesn't believe me, then I will have no choice but to give up the king." General Kou's [-] troops are left here."

"Huh~"

Kou Yi sneered in his heart, a person who unified the barbarians with iron and blood, would not believe a word of such words.

However, he thought about it for a long time, and he never figured out what Wu Lianghe's plan was. After all, as long as he took down Yanling Mountain, even if he only had an army of [-] in his hands, he would be sure to keep the barbarians at bay.

So after pondering for a while, he nodded and said, "The barbarian is so sincere, the old man feels ashamed. As long as the barbarian can keep his promise, the old man will naturally not think about it."

After reaching a consensus, the two discussed for a while and formalized the conditions. After the barbarians migrated to Yanling Mountain, but as compensation, Dazhou would provide 20 shi of grain to feed the migrating barbarian tribes.

After the matter was settled, Kou Yi looked at Wu Lianghe's leaving army, feeling a little dazed.

Originally, I just wanted to bring people to die so as to arouse Dazhou's attention to the barbarians. In the end, people didn't die, and they also took down Yanling Mountain, which Dazhou had wanted to take down since the past dynasties. What kind of thing is this doing?

How do historians record this incident?Is it too ridiculous to write that Kou Yi failed to seek death and the barbarian surrendered to Yanling Mountain?
……

Kou Yi took advantage here, just thought it was ridiculous, but Wu Lianghe brought the army back, the tribe exploded.

In Wu Lianghe's big tent, a tribal chief who had surrendered to Wu Lianghe earlier, no longer caring about Wu Lianghe's jealousy, asked: "My lord, I heard from those returning soldiers that you Have you given up Yanling Mountain to Da Zhou?"

"Ah."

Wu Liang nodded with a sinking face, and said: "Don't worry about it at this time, this king has his own thoughts."

"Think? What do you think about?"

The man didn't show restraint at all, he took a step forward and said angrily: "Yanling Mountain is the place where my barbarian ancestors lived for generations, and it is also the last barrier of our barbarian people. Now that you have given up Yanling Mountain, where are you going to put our barbarian people?" Land? I will never agree to this!!!”

"Are you teaching me what to do?"

Wu Lianghe, who was already in a bad mood, looked up at the man and said coldly, "Are you the lord of the barbarians, or am I the lord of the barbarians?"

"Even if you are pretty..."

"Pfft~"

Before the man finished speaking, Wu Lianghe stood up suddenly and punched the man in the heart. Blood with a little bit of internal organs spewed out from the man's mouth, and then the whole man fell heavily on the ground, motionless .

"Anyone else who has an opinion, stand up."

Those people who took refuge in Wu Lianghe looked at the people who were beaten to death by Wu Lianghe, they were a little frightened, and they all lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound.

Wu Liang closed his eyes and scanned the circle with murderous intent, seeing that no one dared to stand up again, he said: "Since you have no objection, then prepare for the migration. I only give you five days, five days If anyone within the family fails to complete the migration, this king promises to slaughter your family!"

After they dispersed, Wu Lianghe took a few deep breaths, suppressed the killing intent in his heart, and said to Balin: "I bought 20 shi of grain from Da Zhou, and the grain and grass should be enough."

"And this time I took the opportunity to force them to relocate, and the timing was just right, so let's start preparing for the previous plan."

"This time, I want to bet on all the barbarians and win a future for my barbarians."

　Well, I still haven't paid it today, it's just a [-]-character debt, I haven't paid it off in two days, I'm really speechless to myself...

　　I swear, I will return it tomorrow, and if I still fail to do so tomorrow, I will show you women's clothing! ! !
