ALL NOVEL Chapter 1573: Cattle and sheep for opportunities
They finally understood that it took more than a day or two for the Tang Dynasty to capture them. It was purely because no one had gathered together. If one of them was touched, the others would probably run away. In this vast place In the desert, if he really ran away, it would not be that easy to catch him back.
So the Tang army has been putting up with you. When all of you are here, we will arrest you. Anyway, it will only let you live for two more days and see the Tang army capture them neatly. At that time, these people did feel regret in their hearts. It turned out that the rebellion we thought of was nothing in the eyes of others. If we continue to do this, I am afraid that more people will be implicated.
The people around who were not involved were also frightened. In fact, they also received the invitation letter, but they just couldn't make up their minds for a while. Only now can they understand that the affairs of these rebellious nobles are like child's play. The Tang Dynasty court It turns out that I have figured it out a long time ago. It’s not that they don’t want to deal with you, but they wait until you people have attracted enough people, that is, they have fattened the pigs before killing them.
"Master Protector, Master Protector, we know we were wrong. We are willing to sacrifice all our tribes and cattle and sheep. Please give us another chance..."
"Please tell your highness that we have all been deceived. We were originally loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Please give us another chance. We promise that nothing like this will happen. I am willing to go to the frontline battlefield and use Steel knife to prove my words."
When they were escorted to the guillotine, these people really felt scared. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty had already begun to sharpen their knives. They couldn't find so many chopstick hands for a while, so they had to start from ordinary soldiers. A group of people have come over. Although these people have not beheaded, they have all killed people on the battlefield. As long as someone is unfavorable to the court, their steel swords will be directed at your head. It is nothing more than a guest appearance. It's fine.
Xiao Shougui glanced at these people with a sneer, "What have you been doing so far?" Didn't the imperial court give you a chance to be loyal? I don’t know how many opportunities I gave you in the past, but can you people seize it?
Someone stepped forward to make contact, and more than 40 nobles came out all of a sudden. What does this mean? This shows that in your hearts, you still do not regard the Tang Dynasty as one of your own, and all the words you usually say are lies. If this is the case, you do not need the so-called opportunity. You will slowly spend the rest of your life. Cherish these so-called opportunities.
"kill."
Xiao Shougui looked at the sun. It was already time, so there was nothing more to say. With a wave of his hand, the tiger head knife here was chopped off, and more than forty heads were on the ground in an instant. Get out, so that the remaining nobles were also shocked, and some of them fainted.
Regardless of how brave they usually brag about in battle, what have they ever done on the battlefield? In fact, they were all just blown out. If I really saw snow on the battlefield, what would these heads mean? It's nothing more than adding some scenery to them.
"Everyone, His Majesty the Grand Sun has already issued a decree. If anyone is involved in the rebellion in the future, the whole family will be made slaves and he will be beheaded in the street."
After Xiao Shougui said these words, the door behind them also opened. These people breathed a sigh of relief. The Tang Dynasty court did not kill them all, but gave them some opportunities. If they used this incident to kill them, then It is estimated that there are some people here who cannot get out. Although they did not participate directly, they also gave a lot of cattle, sheep and silver, which can be regarded as indirect participation.
Fortunately, the court did not dig deeper and killed all the more than 40 people. This could be regarded as saving face for them. Some people made up their minds in their hearts and would never get involved in this matter in the future. If so, If you continue to mix in, take a look at the more than forty blood gourds on the ground. You might be one of them one day.
When they walked out of this courtyard, they immediately smelled a stronger smell of blood. It turned out that more people were killed outside. There were only more than forty people inside, but hundreds of people died outside. Human beings, these are all the entourage of these nobles, and they all come with swords.
If this is the case, then let's take your lives first. As for the families of these more than forty nobles, the imperial army has rushed to their base. From this moment on, these people have changed. As slaves, rewards will be given to those who have served on the front line. As for when they will be able to get rid of this slave status, I am afraid only God knows.
Everyone in this era knows that if you become a slave, not only will you be ruined in your life, but also your descendants will not have a good life, and all the children you will give birth to will also be slaves. , your children’s children are also slaves. Unless you have achieved some merit, your master is willing to free you from slavery.
On their way back, cavalry kept passing by. Whenever they heard the familiar sound of horse hoofbeats, many nobles were so frightened that they could not sit still, fearing that these people were coming towards them. Some people's There is indeed a ghost in my heart.
That night, some people brought a lot of gifts to Li Xiang. These were no longer ordinary gifts. They were almost half of the property of their entire tribe. These people also knew that the Tang Dynasty court did not hold them accountable, so they should It seems that they are relatively good, but now you have to be aware of it.
If you don't have any awareness, don't blame us for being rude. Now that you have handed over half of your property, it can be regarded as your life-saving money. If you don't even understand this, I'm afraid there will be nothing to say in the future.
That night, Li Xiang and Xiao Shougui had a few drinks. Being able to resolve the rebellion in the Western Regions in a swift and decisive manner was just a small episode for the two of them. If Xiao Shougui hadn't been afraid of not being able to catch them all in one fell swoop, he would have taken action long ago.
"Have the common people from the mainland arrived?"
Li Xiang picked up a peanut. Fried peanuts are still not available in this era. Peanuts are also obtained from overseas. It's true that peanuts in this era are much more delicious than those in modern times. It's the first time that Xiao Shougui has heard of such a snack. His Highness has a lot of new things.
