"You black hearted traitor, you still have the face to brag here!"
This inexplicable scolding made Xue tingji frown. He was obviously angry. "It's just a rogue. How dare you slander my prince?"
"Bah, what prince." If it's true that the tricky people are brave and fat, and even dare to spit at Xue Ting when they are dying, "you rely on our people to support you, but you beg for mercy from the Huns, that's betraying the country!"
After listening to their scolding for a long time, Xue tingji finally understood that they also knew the defeat of Xiongnu. They were determined to let Xiongnu destroy the country, so that they could live a peaceful life.
As a result, the Darong army, which had been sure to win, withdrew when it was near the door, and let go of a good opportunity.
They didn't know anything about politics. They only blamed Xue tingji for everything. They said that he bowed his head to the Xiongnu and admitted defeat. They said that he colluded with the enemy. In short, all the sewage was poured out.
When all the soldiers heard these words, their faces turned black to the extreme. Pei Ming beat a drum in his heart, and Yu guangkan turned to Xue tingji.
What is his nature of mind? Can he not be clear about it? Although she claims to inherit her father-in-law's will and put the people's livelihood of the two countries first, I'm afraid that's just to make her feel at ease.
In my heart, I'm afraid I haven't been given up with the idea of overthrowing Xiongnu.
Now, if they are urged by some ignorant people to break the hard won agreement between the two countries, will they not be able to ignite the flames of war again?
Just as she was complaining, Xue tingji laughed like hearing her voice. "Ah Ming, I see that they are all ambitious, isn't they quite my style?"
Then he made a big chin at the herdsmen, "OK, since you have so much insight, let's recruit you to join the army, and let you be invincible in the battlefield."
Pei Ming's words are full of satire. What do you want to do?
But those herdsmen are silly. They are not officers and soldiers. Why do they want to enter the barracks.
However, Xue tingji is not so easy to speak. After sneering, he quickly changes his eyes and signals his subordinates to arrest all these people.
"Let's give you a taste of the battlefield. Let's go!"
Then without saying a word, he took all these people back. He still took Pei Ming's hand to comfort him. "I'm sorry, I'll take you out to play in the future. I have to take care of these people."
Pei Ming is really confused. He can't figure out his plan. Let's wait and see.
Back in the camp, Xue tingji was really rude. He called general Tan and immediately took them to patrol the border.
General Tan didn't know why. He felt that his highness was in a mess. How could some civilians get in and out of the military area at will.
However, Xue Ting, with his own reason, forced them to March hundreds of miles all the way, carrying heavy sandbags. If they were slow, they would wait to eat the whip.
Those herdsmen, of course, could not bear it. They trembled their legs and pleaded for mercy, but Xue tingji didn't listen, "it's not so comfortable on the battlefield, and no one will spare you and go on for me!"
And then, he drove them to the Xiongnu territory. While driving, he also said how fierce the Xiongnu people were. He hated Darong people in his heart and killed one after another.
Listening to his description, Pei Ming almost didn't laugh. Is this a way to show up?
But those herdsmen are really afraid, looking at the vast grassland in front of them, they are as terrible as a sea of fire.
"Jun, Jun ye, oh no! Your highness, we are wrong. We dare not do it any more. "
But as soon as they stepped back two steps, their necks touched the cold blade. It was Xue tingji who got off the horse and raised the blade with a sneer.
"On the battlefield, retreat is death. Keep moving forward. The Huns' tribe is not far away. Go and fight with them."
The herdsmen who had never seen such a battle were all paralyzed, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, especially the one who screamed the most fiercely at the beginning, and now he was the most spineless.
Along the way, Pei Ming also saw Xue tingji's intention. He was quite surprised. This man has really changed.
Regardless of these people's howling, Xue Ting grabs one of them's clothes and looks down to let Pei Ming see the familiar King's spirit.
He told the herdsmen, "I used to think that killing Xiongnu was the best choice, but who should die for this war? If you don't want to, do my soldiers deserve it? "
It's not only Pei Ming, but also general tan. The heartstrings of all the people present are stirred up. Xue Ting turns his back to them, and he can't see the expression of these people. Let the herdsmen smell it carefully. Is there still a smell of blood in the air?
It was left over from the last war. There were many dead people everywhere. How many people could never go back to their hometown again? The eyes of those herdsmen were still sharp.
"Do you think it's not you who are going to the battlefield, so you can make sarcastic remarks? You are the people of Darong, and so are the soldiers. If you want to fight Xiongnu, you can go yourself. My soldiers will not accompany you to die. "
Blood seemed to linger on the tip of the nose. The herdsmen did not dare to say anything any more. In silence, a few young soldiers secretly raised their arms to wipe their tears. They were sentimental comrades in arms and grateful for his Highness's kindness.A general who knows how to cherish his life is absolutely indispensable.
Of course, Pei Ming knew very well that his Chen Bai had another purpose, otherwise he would never have been so patient.
Sure enough, Xue Ting, who turned around, picked her eyebrows. She couldn't see them, but she certainly wasn't wrong.
What's the man doing.
Now that these grassroots understand the truth, Xue tingji no longer keeps them. He specially ordered people to take a lot of rice and noodles. "It's not easy for you to make a living in this cold weather. Take these rewards."
The herdsmen who had been scared out of their wits didn't dare to answer. They shrunk their hands. This is the attitude they should have in the face of the powerful. Xue tingji was very satisfied with it.
However, his complacency would never be shown, pretending to be compassionate and personally put the grain into their arms, "don't worry, the prince doesn't have to rely on your food tax. Take it, and let you taste the food of the army."
At this moment, Pei Ming understood completely, but he waited for the herdsmen to leave. Then he held his arms to Xue tingji and said, "Your Highness is very calculating. I don't miss any chance."
It seems that he has guessed the reason. General Tan laughs with deep meaning, "Your Highness, let them be convinced, and then give them some benefits. Let them envy the good life in the military camp. It must not be long..."
General Chang also nodded and said, "before long, someone will come to join the army. Your highness, your team will grow a lot. If you have enough people, you can go back to the imperial city."
Isn't it? Since the security of the border is not so tense, Xue tingji should also plan to go back to the mountain and seize the position. With the existing 100000 yuan, he is still hard pressed to compete with the officials.
What's more, if he doesn't call these civilians into the army, he will become the prince's men in the future. Why should he stay behind the enemy? At least for him, you won't be mistreated.
Listening to their enthusiastic discussion about how to return to the Imperial City, Pei Ming couldn't smile and looked far away to the north.
Seriously So you can go back?
