Chapter 842

Shen Hao paused while eating, and asked, "Did you see a slave come back today?"

Xia Nuruan spoke softly in Shen Hao's arms, and her breath was particularly hot, but she still said excitedly: "Yes, master, I heard from Butler Hu that there are a hundred and ten of them, all of them are of the horse tribe. They were all young and strong, and when they came out of the teleportation circle, they attracted the surrounding people to throw stones. Finally, the government servants came forward to prevent these horses from being crushed to death.

The horse clan generally lived near the boundaries of the big clans. Does it mean that the battle is over if they are all captured? "

Shen Hao didn't go back to the Yamen yesterday but was in the Sword Emperor's Tomb, so he didn't know about the barbarian slaves entering the city. But it's not surprising. After all, since the victory of the Sanbiqiu battle, the Jing army has no opponents in the barbarian territory, and even the four major front armies are retreating in an orderly manner. This is actually a sign that barbarian slaves will follow.

After all, it is more convenient and safer for those barbarian slaves to come back with the four retreating armies. It's just that Shen Hao didn't expect Zhu Shou to move so fast, that the first batch of barbarian slaves brought back were all young and strong horse tribe.

Before Shen Hao was popularized by Zhu Shou about the price of barbarian slaves. Young and strong horses are definitely the most expensive item, and also the most sought-after. Of course there is a huge demand.

The reason for the large demand is that there are many people who want to buy on the one hand, and the loss is extremely large on the other hand. Who would want their female family members to indulge in a barbarian thing? Just play around and play all day without throwing ashes at you? Therefore, the length of time that the general horse tribe survives after being sold depends on the patience of the man in charge.

Of course, there are also those that can be used for many years.

"You all said that the horses were almost killed by the stones of the people in the city. Aren't you afraid to go out?" Shen Hao also understood the feelings of the people in the city. In the old Jing Dynasty, so many good men died in battle on the barbarian territory, and there might be disciples of Fengri City among them. People might not have the courage to fight in battle, but they still have a lot of courage to hide behind their own army and throw stones at the captives. of.

Looking at the three weaker appearances of Xia Nv, if they were thrown down by a few stones, they might lose their strength, right?

However, to Shen Hao's surprise, Xia Nu pulled out a card from her collar and said with a smile: "Master, we are not afraid, this card means that we have a master, and our master is you." , who dares to hit us?"

"Oh! Are you going to hang this sign outside?" Shen Hao almost forgot that as long as there is a slave with a master, there will be such an identity sign, and the yamen servants will ask this sign when they encounter it on the road. If they can't get it out, they will run away Slaves or wild slaves will be taken back to prison for punishment.

However, Shen Hao didn't like this kind of card. He always felt like a dog card, so he never asked the fox girl at home to take it outside. On the contrary, Xia Nv inexplicably likes this card and never leaves her body, even when she sleeps, she wears it.

"Yeah, if there are guards, there won't be any problems, right? Huh." After speaking, the voice turned into a sob, because Shen Hao pinched Xia Nu's ear, and gently squeezed the ear with two fingers. Rubbing.

After eating two pieces of meatloaf, Shen Hao stopped eating. He picked up Xia Nu who had weakened, and went straight to the bathhouse. And the three fox girls all understood what Shen Hao was going to do.

Early the next morning, as soon as Shen Hao arrived at the Yamen, he saw Wang Yiming greet him with some copper bars.

After bowing politely, Wang Yiming said: "My lord, this is the copper bar that arrived yesterday. Please take a look at it." Wang Yiming has learned to be smart now, and he doesn't always like to jump up and take the lead like before. After such a long time, I also know "don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't think what you shouldn't think."

Not to mention, Wang Yiming's own ability is still very reassuring after getting rid of his previous habit of liking to make money by showing off. At least Shen Hao entrusted him with the implementation of the execution of the Xiexie operation in Fengri City. It seems that he has done a good job in all aspects, no worse than Tang Qingyuan and Chen Sheng.

But Shen Hao knew what Wang Yiming was thinking. Now Guangshun and Lianfeng 20% ​​of the black flag battalion chief officer have candidates, and they are dignified deputy thousand household chief officers. This is almost impossible in other places. For everyone, this is an opportunity not to be missed. good opportunity. Wang Yiming is naturally the one who has the most thoughts about the Deputy Qianhu in Fengri City.

It is normal for people to grovel and look for self-change to get what they want. Shen Hao has nothing against it. He himself looks similar in front of Jiang Cheng and Pang Ban. However, Wang Yiming's mind is not very stable, he is not ready to just announce the position of the deputy head of the Thousand Households of the Black Flag Camp in Fengri City for the time being, let's have a look. After all, Fengri City is his "base camp", and he doesn't want an unstable factor to control this place.

After receiving the copper bar handed over by Wang Yiming, Shen Hao waved his hand to let the other party back, then pushed open the door of the office room and walked in, asked the concierge to make him a cup of hot tea, and he himself opened it marked with the words "Jing The copper bar of Xizhen Fushi Yamen Zhuan" was opened, and as he expected, it contained news from the front line in the south.

"Zuo Yuliang is really ruthless!"

It took Shen Hao a while to put down the copper bars. The content in it made him feel ruthless towards Zuo Yuliang, the commander in chief of the frontier army. After the decisive battle in Sanbiqiu, the southernmost barbarians, that is, the barbarians in the Huzhuyuan area, did lose all possibility of confronting the Jing army head-on, and they were directly scattered in the mountains and forests and started fighting with the Jing army.

Youdou is very troublesome for the Jing army. It belongs to the expedition itself, with the burden of baggage and the strangeness of the region. It is difficult to exterminate the barbarian rangers who are like voles, and it is easy to trap yourself. In the mud of exhaustion.

At that time, Shen Hao thought that once the barbarians started to put on a fighting stance, Zuo Yuliang would restrain his troops and reduce unnecessary casualties and consumption. Anyway, the barbarians didn't have the food-producing land behind Baitou Gorge and the casualties of hundreds of thousands of the main force had already lost their backbones, and they only needed to grind them slowly by the policy of population looting.

But Zuo Yuliang didn't stop there.

"burn!"

One after another, Zuo Yuliang ordered the Jing army to ignite in the mountains and forests to the south of the barbarians. Whether it was houses, ordinary haystack forests, or large forests, everything that could be burned was burned! The fire in winter is like a beast that devours everything in the dry southern barbarian land, roaring and turning the southern barbarian land into a red land.

What's more, Zuo Yuliang started to exterminate several powerful barbarian groups in a targeted manner, such as the red-eyed wolf group and the long-tusked elephant group. More than anything.

To use a sentence on this copper bar, it is: the land of the barbarians in the south is now like a purgatory.
