Chapter Three Hundred and Eighteen: Will Pay Tenfold
Chapter 318: It will be ten times more rewarded
"Yes, redemption!" Nuoqia raised his head: "My emperor said, "You and I have fought each other and did not want these slaves to return and increase the strength of Marshal Li. Killing them will be more beneficial to us. However, God has the virtue of living. We do not want to raise the butcher knife to these unarmed people, but we cannot put them back in vain. Therefore, according to the rules of the grassland, you can redeem these slaves!"
Li Qing sat high behind the case, with his hands on the case, leaned forward with his upper body, staring at Nuoqia who was standing in front of him and talking. The anger in his eyes became stronger and stronger. He saw Nuoqia's heart and his voice became lower and lower unconsciously.
"I don't want to raise the butcher's knife to the unrivaled person?" Li Qing sneered first, and then laughed louder. "General Nuo, you said this, it's really ridiculous. Your barbarians have marched into Dingzhou countless times over hundreds of years. Another time, they did not raise the butcher's knife to the unrivaled person in Dingzhou. Wherever you pass, you kill people and plunder and burn houses. This time, they actually developed kindness. I'm afraid it's not that you don't want to kill, but that you dare not kill!"
"The two armies are fighting and fighting on the battlefield. Both sides live and die in their destiny. There is nothing to complain about, but if you dare to massacre my innocent people, I will repay them ten times the day when the city of Bayankala is destroyed. If you kill one of my people, I will kill you ten people. Then blood flows in the city. You will regret it!" Li Qing slapped the table and rushed to the cape with anger.
In view of Li Qing's momentum, Nuoqi's heart was almost taken away by him. He was ashamed, ashamed, annoyed and hated, his lips trembled, his face turned purple, and he looked up at Li Qing, and after a while, he said with a voice: "If the prisoner killed, did Li Dashui have not done anything before? When the Angu tribe fought, tens of thousands of elderly, weak, women and children fell under Li Dashui's swords, guns, bows and crossbows. What are the reasons for these people? Li Dashui's justice?"
Hearing Nuoqia scolding Li Qing, he stood up suddenly, unsheathed his sword, took two steps, and put the knife on Nuoqia's neck with a choke, and said angrily: "You are so rude. You are killing the people of Dingzhou. How can you kill a million people in hundreds of years? Can you kill you a few people? Is it natural for you to kill me? Is it unjust to kill you? I dare to be rude to the general, and I will chop you alive!"
Nuoqia remained motionless, but just raised her head and stared at Li Qing.
Li Qing was speechless, waved his hand to let the mountain wind retreat, and he sat down slowly. He was forced to let Shang Haibo order the massacre of tens of thousands of elderly, weak, women and children of the Angu tribe. In the deep sense, Li Qing was unable to relieve this massacre. Unlike what others thought for granted, Li Qing from later generations was difficult to agree with. Looking at Nuoqia, he slowly said: "Since ancient times, the national war has not been justice. You and I have fought for hundreds of years. This hatred has been soaked in the bones. It is meaningless to argue about these things. Well, redemption is not impossible. How much is Bayar's offer, but you said?"
Hearing that Li Qing finally agreed to redeem, Nuoqia breathed a sigh of relief, "A slave had ten kilograms of grain, and there are still 100,000 slaves in Bayankala City. Li Dashui only needs to pay one million kilograms of grain to get these people back."
"Ten kilograms of grain?" Li Qing stared at the other party in surprise.
Lu Dalin stood up quickly: "Bayal has such a big appetite, and isn't afraid of suffocating him? Such unreliable redemption conditions are not enough to think about it."
Nuoqi'er said: "General Lu's words are a bad thing. In the past, a slave was of great value. General Lu, who had lived in Dingzhou for a long time and was well versed in the rules of the grassland, must have been very clear. This price is undoubtedly free. His Majesty the Emperor of My Emperor was very sincere in making this deal, so he offered a low price. How could General Lu say that the conditions were too high?"
"This is the same as that." Lu Dalin sneered: "At this time, 100,000 slaves in Bayankala City have become hot potatoes. Kill them, you dare not let them live, but they have to consume a lot of your food every day, making your already pitiful supplies even more embarrassing. In this case, even if each of us only produces one pound of food, I think it's so high?"
"It's outrageous!" Nuoqia was furious and looked back at Li Qing, "Marrior Li, since you are so insincere, then this business will be put aside. Let's stay in the city. When we, Bayankala, have finished our food, we will kill these slaves and cook them. There are 100,000 people, and there are still about one million kilograms of meat, which is enough for us to eat for a long time."
As soon as these words were said, everyone in the tent took a breath. Although the people of Da Chu have always called each other a barbarian or a barbarian, the grassland has been deeply eroded by the culture of the Great Chu culture in its hundreds or thousands of years of interactions with the Central Plains, which is very different from the early years. This cannibalism is unheard of.
"You, you are simply beasts! You actually want to eat people." Wang Qinian slapped the table.
Nuoqia sneered repeatedly, "I heard that in the year of the great disaster of Chu, there was a move to change my son and eat. Why did the generals feel surprised? My grassland tribe is facing a critical moment of life and death. If I cannot defend Bayankala, it will be a disaster for the country to destroy the clan. Not to mention eating people, it will be ten times more tragic or a hundred times more tragic things, we will do the same."
The numerous slaves in the city have always been a knot of Li Qing. Not to mention that the barbarians cannibalize people, even when they hit the city of Bayankara, Bayar only needs to take the slaves to the city wall and use them as a shield, and he will also throw himself into a rat and be afraid of the weapons. He will not shoot the comrades who claimed to save the savior when attacking the city first. If this is done, all the early publicity done by Dingzhou among the soldiers will be scrapped. Looking at the scene of the iron leopard and others recognizing their relatives on the battlefield, I am afraid that in the record of 100,000 slaves, there are many of them who are their own soldiers. Protecting their own soldiers' relatives is also his responsibility to be the commander, and it is also an excellent way to make the soldiers return to their hearts. Therefore, these 100,000 slaves must be rescued in advance. At present, Bayarar is about to end his own way, otherwise Bayar would never have done such a move to expose his own shortcomings.
"Okay, Nuoqia, you don't have to talk big. Go back and tell Bayar that although I don't lack food in Dingzhou, the food is transported from afar, but the loss is huge and there is not a lot of excess food. However, for my comrades in the city, I am still willing to squeeze out some to redeem them. But five kilograms of grain for a slave is the highest price I can afford. If I want, our two families will exchange it. If we don't, then we can only avenge these comrades who died."
Before Nuoqia could answer, the mountain wind stood up, "Master, I object. Provide food to the other party so that these barbarians can eat enough to kill our soldiers?Master, please think twice."
Wang Qinian also stood up, "Master, please think twice! I think we can't give them any food, and I don't think they have the courage to kill these slaves."
"Then you guys try it!" Nuoqia said angrily.
Li Qing keenly grabbed the hint of panic that drifted through Nuoqizhi's eyes, and he felt even more confident in his heart, "Two generals, your soldiers are from Dingzhou, and the people in the city are also from Dingzhou, and the palms and backs of hands are all flesh. How can we favor one or the other? Our soldiers are fully armed, and the slaves in the city are unarmed. I believe that even your soldiers are willing to fight to the death to kill the enemy and exchange their lives for the safety of their comrades. Didn't we do this all along? No need to say more, I have decided, Nuoqia, do you agree?"
Nuoqiadao: "I have no right to decide the price raised by the Grand Marshal. I need to go back to the city to ask His Majesty the Emperor."
Li Qing waved his hand and said, "Okay, then you go and go back quickly. Today our army will not attack the city, so I will wait for your news in the tent. It will take no more than an hour to go."
Looking at Nuoqia's back, Li Qing smiled and looked at Shanfeng, "General Guo reacted very quickly. With your cooperation, Bayar must not dare to bargain with us."
The mountain breeze smiled and said, "The general has his own achievements in his heart, and the mountain breeze has a little help."
Tang Hu behind Li Qing said in surprise: "General, aren't you still desperately opposing the general's opinions just now? Why did you become helping the general at this moment? What does this mean?"
The generals in the tent laughed but didn't say anything, and they scratched Tang Hu's head in a hurry. In fact, it was simple to put it bluntly. When Nuoqia saw the generals under Li Qing's command opposing them, he naturally had to explain this to Bayar when he went back. After Bayar learned the news, he must be worried that the price was too high, which made Li Qing, who was already hesitant, give up this transaction with a hatred after the generals' opposition. Then these 100,000 slaves would really hit him. In this way, exchanged for 500,000 kilograms of grain would be considered a small gain. At least Bayankala could last longer.
As expected, after one hour, the return Noqia agreed to this clause. Three days later, the Dingzhou army handed over 50,000 kilograms of grain to the barbarians every day, and exchanged them for ten days.
"Beat the drum and gather the generals!" Li Qing ordered Tang Hu, "Three, it's time for our generals to know our overall strategy."
Outside the central army's tent, dozens of cowhide drums sounded at the same time, and spread to various battalions from afar. This was the drum of the gathering of generals.
Half an hour later, the heads and generals of the Dingzhou Army gathered at Li Qing's tent. Li Qing's eyes swept through everyone's faces, Lu Dalin, Crossing the Mountain Feng, Wang Qinian, Jiang Kui, Guan Xinglong, Jiang Heiniu, Wei Xin, Xiong Dewu.... A familiar or unfamiliar face passed by his eyes, and the generals flashed with excitement in their eyes. For a long time, Li Qing rarely summoned all battalion-level generals to discuss matters. He always made a strategic direction for the generals to make the following commanders freely, as long as the strategy was achieved.
Purpose and the tactical process were ignored by Li Qing. There were thousands of people and methods, and each general had his own combat style. If he intervened in everything, it would only limit the talents of these generals and restrict them. Not only would they not be able to be trained, but they would instead become verbal insects. Li Qing, who traveled through time, would not forget how the People's Liberation Army, which had not received any formal military training, defeated those generals with high military qualities in the magnificent era of the liberation war.
