Chu Yao wanted to say that Chu Jie had basically won.
Because Yonggu Pass has been defended, and a strange combination of circumstances caused a huge blow to Shiwu, Shiwu did not dare to use troops again for several years, which meant that there would be a few years of peace. If you can continue to squat, why should you have a conflict with Shen Tang and start a new business?
With Chu Jie’s nostalgic character, he was reluctant to leave.
If you can survive in peace, who wants to be homeless?
But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
What the family wants is not that Chu Jie submits to her and recognizes her as the head of the county, but that Chu Jie submits to her wholeheartedly.
Otherwise, why would she risk going deep into Shiwutu?
Changed the subject: "My lord, really took 30,000 heads?"
Shen Tang said: "Not really, the army even marched in secret, hiding day and night, how could they dare to drag it down? Showing off 30,000 people, I used my ears instead of heads. I don’t think Chu Jie would deny it.”
Chu Yao: “…”
That scene was wonderful to think about.
It is indeed wonderful, but what is wonderful is Chu Jie’s face.
He drank heavily last night and got up an hour later than usual. The camp's cooking supplies were brought to the court. Corn porridge, white steamed buns and a plate of cooked pig ears. He finished the meal in a hurry.
Dancing with guns and sticks while shirtless on a cold day.
He broke into a sweat before he stopped.
At this time, soldiers came to the martial arts training ground to look for him.
He wiped his sweat and said, "What's the matter?"
Hearing the content of the soldier's reply, he paused.
He said with a smile: "Shen Jun really promised me, let's take a look."
He didn't go alone, he also asked all the old people in the tent to come and have a look. Hearing is false, seeing is believing!
Because Shen Tang is not popular with everyone, and military generals always only obey the strong, Chu Jie can't force their heads to recognize Shen Tang. So, does he want these stubborn and courageous warriors to be convinced? Then show your strength!
Not long after, everyone had gathered.
Everyone smells like alcohol.
Bai Su and Xu Quan clasped their fists to greet Chu Jie, waved their hands and ordered the soldiers to bring up the most special trophy of the trip.
It is not the heads that everyone is looking forward to, but pottery urns that are as tall as half a person. Although the pottery urn is big, it can't hold 30,000 heads, right? A straight-tempered rough man spoke in a loud voice: "Young general, are all the heads that Mr. Shen mentioned here?"
Bai Su said calmly: "Previously, General Chu asked the Lord for 30,000 Wu Wu heads to build a temple in Beijing, but it was not easy to preserve the heads. The number was huge, and the whereabouts of our troops were easily exposed on the march. So he followed the marching rules and used his right ear as a charge. Make the first step.”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
They all turned their attention to those pottery urns. Bai Su's cold voice clearly reached their eardrums: "I haven't counted the exact number yet, but it should be more than 30,000, and they are all ten black and strong. In addition, there is a big gift, General Chu will be very interested in it."
< br>Chu Jie secretly took a breath of air.
After hearing what Bai Su said, he asked: "What kind of gift is it?"
She clapped her hands, and a soldier brought a three-foot-long wooden box. Xu Quan opened the box and found a box of blood-stained right ears, as well as several official seals to prove his identity.
The soldiers strode forward and raised the box above their heads.
Chu Jie asked: "This is..."
Xu Quan answered his question: "When we attacked the capital of Shiwu King, we were lucky enough to encounter a few big fish. Among them Any one of them is worth the heads of hundreds or thousands of young men. General Chu can count them, and you may know them.”
Not to mention——
Chu Jie actually found an "acquaintance" from several official seals, and when he heard Xu Quan say "attack the capital of Shiwu King", his eyelids jumped fiercely. He believed that Shen Tang didn't bother to cheat, which meant that the young governor really led someone to play a trick - to go straight to Huanglong!
Even though the Shiwu Kings were guarding the void, Shen Tang had more than two thousand troops on his side, and he was still alone and without support!
How dare you do this? Chu Jie took a deep breath and was the first to react.
He stared at the dozen pottery urns.
The five fingers spread out and turned into a crude axe.
Strode forward.
Xu Quan also thoughtfully made way for him.
I saw Chu Jie hitting the pottery urn hard with his axe. With a crisp sound, the pottery urn instantly fell into pieces, and the contents inside exploded out. There was a crash, burying most of the nearest Chu Jie's calf.
A strong and weird smell erupted.
Filled his nasal cavity.
Chu Jie smashed two nearby pottery urns again.
Each one is packed to the brim.
In order to preserve it, it is also pickled with salt.
The way they were stacked together looked like the cooked pig ears he had praised in the morning. Even though he was used to seeing wind and waves, he was shocked by this scene. Other veterans came forward one after another, carefully identified it, and laughed heartily after being convinced.
One person even patted his thigh and burst into tears: "Okay! Okay! Okay! I am completely convinced by this Mr. Shen! It's true that 'a promise once made is hard to follow'! From now on, my life belongs to Mr. Shen, no matter what Go ahead and charge into battle without any complaints!”
Xu Quan asked: "Don't you count?"
A veteran with white beard and hair spat, disgusted: "What to count? Thirty thousand is definitely the number! These things He should have been dragged out to feed the dog! Why waste all that effort? What? I didn’t expect Shen Jun to have such awareness and temper at such a young age! I was worried that Shen Jun wouldn’t be able to be ruthless.”
Everyone agreed. , Chu Jie said: "Just throw it away and feed it to the dogs." Forget it, there aren’t that many wild dogs nearby for us to destroy. Let’s take them all outside the city and burn them to pay homage to our dead brothers. I hope they can get some relief from the spirit of heaven..."
Everyone clasped their fists and said, "Only. .”
Bai Su and Xu Quan were both a little surprised.
They thought they would encounter difficulties, but they didn't expect things to go so smoothly. After understanding the blood feud between everyone and Shiwu, we can understand their mood to some extent. Take the veteran with white hair and beard as an example. In the early years, his daughter-in-law took her child back to her parents' home to visit relatives. On the way, she was attacked by Shiwu soldiers and horses. The mother and son were captured, and their skins were ripped off alive and made into two-sided drums...
A few of them had close blood friends who were killed, and the bones were made into various jewelry and circulated in the Shiwu market...
Using human bones as jewelry is a trend in Shiwu.
From top to bottom in Yonggu Pass, everyone has a blood feud with Shi Wu. If Shen Tang was kind and lenient to Shi Wu, it would be a complete betrayal in their eyes!
You might as well go home and take pictures of your butt!
Let’s see if it’s something wrong with your brain!
During the memorial ceremony, I wonder if it was due to Chu Jie’s psychological influence. In the past, Yonggu Pass was always surrounded by cold winds and gloomy winds, and the sunlight cast by it also brought a coldness that penetrated into the bone marrow. Today, it was exceptionally warm. It's rare to have a sunny day.
"I think the brothers who died in the battle are also very satisfied..."
Under the leadership of Shen Tang, everyone burned incense and paid homage.
Chu Jie looked at the huge makeshift firewood pile, with the fireworks blazing, and then looked at the young county guard's not-so-wide back. He could vaguely understand why Chu Yao chose Shen Tang, and even tied himself up, leaving life and death in the hands of the other party. .
Not only was Chu Wuhui desperate, but he really saw a different hope in Shen Tang.
Perhaps——
The situation on this continent really needs to change.
