Chapter 567 Hurting Each Other
Xianbei Royal Court
The Xianbei Royal Court was not satisfied with the results of the negotiations with Pingzhou.
"We can't be led by Pingzhou like this!" Tuoba Xun was the first to oppose the redemption of people with money.
Akesi was anxious, "What do you mean, do you want the Khan to ignore the life and death of our Fuyu people?"
"Akesi, that's not what I mean. We can have other ways to achieve our goals." Tuoba Xun said.
"Shut up, what does this have to do with you?" In Akesi's opinion, can't it be solved directly? Why do we have to take a detour?
Anyway, what he meant was to pay the money honestly and redeem the people. It's not that he can't afford it!
"Khan, we are brothers-in-law. You can't ignore the life and death of the Fuyu people." Before Tuoba Khan said that he would march south, he took a lot of supplies. He wants to get back one million taels now, isn't it too much?
Not only did he have to redeem the children and the elderly, he also had to find a way to redeem the young and strong people of Fuyu. Because among these young and strong people, 60% to 70% are women. If a tribe has no young women, the young and strong men in the tribe will run away sooner or later, and the tribe will exist in name only.
Besides, who will support the elderly and children if they are redeemed? Will the Fuyu soldiers who are still in service be allowed to retire and support their families?
Tuoba Khan also knew that one million taels of silver was not much, but this precedent could not be set!
"Akesi, don't worry, I'll find a way!" Tuoba Khan comforted.
Akesi was anxious. What else could he think of after taking the money? If he and his nephew and he were not all paupers, and his sister couldn't get enough, would he need to beg him?
"Akesi, let him try? Anyway, Pingzhou gave three days. If it doesn't work, pay the ransom. Anyway, the one million taels of silver are prepared for you first, okay?" Tuoba Khan said.
"It's up to you." Akesi's face was dark. He really didn't want to make trouble and didn't want to joke about the safety of his people, but he had no choice in this matter, and he was depressed.
So the people in Xinxing and Zhongshan suffered.
Because Sun Ming asked the people in Yanmen to leave in advance, there were only a few people left in such a large land. Tuoba Xun was too lazy to look for a needle in a haystack and directly attacked Xinxing and Zhongshan.
The Xianbei made a lot of noise in arresting the people, and some people even ran to Shanggu County for help. They boldly asked Pingzhou to send troops to expel the Xianbei soldiers who were causing trouble.
The soldiers were at a loss in the face of the tearful requests of their fellow villagers.
At this time, their centurion came over and said, "Old man, we will report your request. As for whether to send troops, the superiors have their own considerations. We in Pingzhou are still very weak and cannot send troops at will. If you can, leave as soon as possible and go to a safe place."
After reporting this matter, Qin Heng thought about it and decided to send troops. The cavalry in Pingzhou was newly formed and needed more actual combat to improve.
Today's Xianbei cavalry seems to have no natural enemies. It would be good for their own cavalry battalion to fight with the enemy more.
Anyway, their purpose is not to fight for territory, but to train cavalry. If they can win, they fight, if they can't win, they run.
This matter was reported to the governor, Lv Songli, and Lv Songli raised his eyebrows. Isn't this a guerrilla war?
Anyway, it's not their territory, Lv Songli waved his hand and approved it.
At this time, Lv Desheng happened to be there. After hearing this, he muttered, "The court is useless, and it allows the Xianbei to enter the territory of Dali as if no one is in it!"
Lv Songli reminded her father, "Dad, the Xianbei cavalry is arresting people at this moment. You don't need to think about it. You know why they are doing this."
Lv Desheng: "Don't worry, no matter how they mess around, I won't let them control me." The initiative must be in our hands.
Lv Songli is worried about the people in the northern border and Liangzhou. It is certain that life will be difficult under the jurisdiction of the Xianbei.
But she also knows that there is nothing she can do even if she is anxious. The more she shows that she cares, the more ruthless the Xianbei will control them.
When the three days were up, the two sides met again, and this time Tuoba Xun also came.
But Lv Desheng saw the Xianbei army behind them and looked away regretfully.
As soon as the two sides met, they went straight to the point.
"Have you brought the captives?" Tuoba Xun asked.
Lv Desheng did not answer but asked, "Where is your silver?"
"No silver, but we will exchange it with you for other things."
"What do you mean?"
"We will exchange Han people with you for Buyeo captives."
Lv Desheng said toughly, "If we don't exchange, why should we exchange with you?! Please understand that you want to redeem the captives. Since you want to trade with us in Pingzhou, you have to follow our rules!" These people really don't know what they are talking about!
"Don't exchange? Then these people will die!" Tuoba Xun stared at Lv Desheng and made a gesture.
The people behind him received the signal and began to pull out a group of Han people, and the knife fell.
"Save me!"
"Don't kill me!"
"Woo woo woo——"
The Xianbei soldiers deliberately did not seal their mouths, just to let the cries and begging for mercy of these people come out.
Under Tuoba Xun's gaze, Lv Desheng remained calm, knowing that these people were going to make trouble.
Finally, Lv Desheng looked at Akesi, "Is this what you meant?"
Akesi's face was also not good, how could this be his intention?
Lv Desheng looked at Tuoba Xun again, "You want to play like this, right? Okay, we will accompany you to the end!"
At this time, the Xianbei had killed the first batch and were pushing out the second batch of Han people.
"Kill, kill, kill as much as you want! If you kill a few now, I will let a few Fuyu captives cut their throats later! Forget it, don't look back, just now."
As soon as Lu Desheng's voice fell, dozens of Fuyu prisoners were also launched from Pingzhou.
They also performed a show for the Xianbei negotiation team, using the knife to chop melons and vegetables.
"Isn't it just some prisoners, isn't it just a few hundred or two thousand taels of silver? We in Pingzhou can afford to lose it."
Come on, let’s hurt each other!
Want to take advantage of our Pingzhou? dream!
The Xianbei envoys were frightened by Pingzhou's tough attitude.
Seeing this scene, Ax's heart was bleeding, and he quickly begged for mercy, "Master Lu, please don't, don't, don't be like this. If you have anything to say, please say it."
Lu Desheng remained unmoved.
Ax shouted to Tuoba Xun, "Tuoba Xun, tell them to stop!"
Tuoba Xun ignored Aksi, but stood up, leaned forward, and approached Lu Desheng, "Lu Desheng, aren't you Pingzhou afraid of our Xianbei army of 500,000 people attacking Pingzhou?"
Lu Desheng rolled his eyes, "Are you afraid of you? Come quickly and mobilize the 200,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the north and Liangzhou."
In addition, they still have 500,000 yuan! Want to scare him? It's not like he's scared.
Tuoba Xun had no choice but to stop the massacre of Han people. He had to admit that Han prisoners were worthless here in Pingzhou and could not threaten them.
