Chapter 67 Kyushu's Strongest Salvo

"Young master, the Yaoshan barbarians are just a general term. They were born in the deep mountains and mostly lived in clans and tribes. However, they also formed five major kingdoms, divided by five elements."

Mo Yunliang looked at the two barbarian men passing by, and said in a low voice, "Judging from the tattoos on the faces of these two men, they should be barbarians among the five barbarians.

"This family has a unique bloodline and is born with brute force. It is one of the best physiques for practicing martial arts in Kyushu. It's just that the enlightenment heart is a little low, and few people can cultivate to the last two realms of martial arts!"

"The four veins of Taoism, martial arts, Confucianism, and qi have different characteristics of cultivation, but they all lead to the same goal through different paths. They are all a word of enlightenment!"

Jiang Li nodded. He looked away, rode his horse to the entrance of Beishi, and dismounted.

Zhenwuhou Jiang Shirong was in charge of the military department, and the law was strict. The sergeants who were in charge of guarding the entrance were strict in their work, and all people who entered and exited Beishi were strictly questioned.

But after seeing the Yunhu Jade Pendant from Marquis of Zhenwu's Mansion presented by Jiang Li, the sergeants in charge of the inspection were all shocked. After quickly confirming that the jade pendant was genuine, they let it go without any questioning.

"Second brother, do you recognize the jade in that little baby's hand? When the Da Zhou sergeant in Beishi saw the jade pendant, it was as if he had seen the emperor's old son. He let them in without even asking!"

A few tens of meters away from the entrance of Beishi, the two barbarians did not leave, they had been wandering around and watching.

One of the barbarians was very surprised to see Jiang Li and the others showing the jade pendant and being released directly by the Da Zhou sergeant.

"This thing should be the official token that the Great Elder said. If we can get this thing, we can enter Beishi and rescue the young patriarch. You wait here for them to come out, and I will find someone!"

The other barbarian rubbed his hands, turned his body around, his body looked like a bear, but his movements were as agile as an ape, with his feet on the ground, he shuttled left and right among the crowd, and disappeared within a few breaths.

There are a total of ten stalls in Beishi, and inside the low tile-roofed houses are rows of cages made of fine iron.

In the dim candlelight, many figures wearing heavy shackles could be faintly seen imprisoned there, with ragged clothes and fierce eyes.

There was a horizontal table outside the stall, and several officials from the Labor Service Department of the Ministry of War sat behind the table, without yelling at customers, leisurely looking through the list of prisoners of war, drinking tea and chatting.

On a wooden board next to the horizontal table, there is a blank sheet of paper, which briefly introduces the information and purchase price of the prisoners of war imprisoned in the stall.

"There are 37 cavalrymen from the Chilu tribe of Beimang, among which the Liwu realm is 29, the Jiaowu realm is 5000, and the Taiji realm is [-]. The price is [-] taels of silver."

"There are 12 bandits from the Kamikaze Kingdom, nine from the Liwu Realm, and three from the Jiaowu Realm. The price is 800 taels of silver."

"There are 170 remnants of Li Zhongzai, the frontier defender of the Daluo Kingdom, and their relatives, including 91 warriors, ten servants, and 71 old and weak women and children. The price is 1 taels of silver."

……

The labor service department sells prisoners of war, almost all of them are sold in packages.

If you want to split the purchase, the price will have to rise several times.

Because of strict restrictions on the identity of buyers, there are not many pedestrians on the broad Qingshiban Road in Beishi.

But once there is a transaction, it is more than thousands or even tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Since Jiang Li entered Beishi, he had put away the Yunhu jade pendant in Zhenwuhou's Mansion. He walked along with Jiang Xuanxin and others, but they couldn't find a prisoner who met his wishes.

On this trip to Beimang, what Jiang Li needed most were cavalry who were good at riding. There were many prisoners of war who were proficient in riding in Beishi, but most of them were from Beimang and Daluo.

Once they are led back to the north, no matter how harsh the means are, it will be difficult to ensure that they will not rebel, and it is even possible to turn back.

In the two stalls on the west side of Beishi, there are also prisoners of war from the Western Regions captured from the western border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and many of them are proficient in horsemanship.

But Jiang Li gave up the idea of ​​buying after carefully inquiring about the specific situation of these prisoners of war at the official of the Labor Department outside the stall.

One is that the countries in the Western Regions are far away from the hinterland of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the language barriers.

The second is that most of the prisoners of war from the countries of the Western Regions believe in the Jingjue Temple, are paranoid and radical, stubborn and difficult to tame, and it is difficult to control them in a short period of time.

"More than [-]% of the officers and generals in the army are from aristocratic families. It is not without reason. Not to mention that the children of the aristocratic families are powerful in themselves, and the retainers and private troops who accompany them into the army to assist them are not rich enough to train them in a short period of time. from."

Jiang Li thought to himself.

Aristocratic families have accumulated hundreds of years, even thousands of years, with profound foundations, countless money and food, and a lot of time and resources.

They screen out children who are suitable for practicing martial arts and Taoism from their own slaves and tenants. They cultivate them from an early age, teach martial arts and Taoism, instill the idea of ​​loyalty, and threaten them with their parents, wives and children.

The retainers and private soldiers cultivated in this way are not only loyal and loyal, but also have their own strengths, and they will also take care of the safety of their relatives. Once they fall into the enemy's hands, no matter how tortured they are, they will not be able to shake them.

Although Jiang Li has the support of Princess Yunle, he has accumulated nearly 6 taels of silver in his hands, and the top-quality body-hardening secret medicine such as Crocodile Jiao Jingyuan Powder, it is difficult to compare with the children of the aristocratic family.

"Officer, are those people from the Xun clan?"

Jiang Li's search was fruitless, and when he was about to leave Beishi, the old man Tu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stepped forward, pointing to a row of iron cages deep in the West No. [-] stall and asked suddenly.

"The old man has sharp eyes. In this day and age, you can still know that there are not many people of the Xun clan!" An official of the Labor Department raised his head when he heard the sound, slightly surprised.

"Hehe, old man, when I was young, I had a vain temper. I traveled east and west. Except for the [-] mountains, I almost visited the land of Kyushu, so I recognize it!"

The old man Tu smiled foolishly, took trembling steps, walked into the stall, squatted beside the cage where the people of the Xunxuan tribe were imprisoned, and began to observe with great interest.

Seeing that Old Man Tu was behaving strangely, Jiang Li followed him.

The house at the West No. 200 stall is low, and it seems to occupy a small area from the outside, but it is very long in depth, at [-] meters.

From north to south, there are eight rows of narrow iron cages, except for a few empty iron cages, most of them contain prisoners of war.

It can be seen that there were frequent wars on the border of Dazhou.

"Old Man Tu, what is the Xuanxuan Clan, why haven't I seen it in the book?"

Jiang Li walked into the stall, and a foul and unpleasant smell rushed towards him. He held his breath, and performed Lingbao Tianzun's innate one-qi guidance technique to maintain the breath in his body.

"It's normal that you don't know. This ethnic group was famous and shocked the world more than a hundred years ago. At that time, it happened to be a hundred years of troubled times. The seven kingdoms were vying for supremacy, and the four kingdoms of Qin, Lie, Wei, and Chu were the strongest. This Xuanxuan tribe is the strongest salvo army in Qin State!"

The old man Tu smacked his lips and said: "More than 90 years ago, Qin State was destroyed by Wei and Zhou. live.

"Sixty years ago, Beimang wanted to subdue this strongest salvo clan, but how can we forget the hatred of destroying the country? Years have been in exile.

"Twenty years ago, the last remnant of the Xuanxu tribe was chased and killed by Beimang to the border of Dazhou, and was finally annihilated by the border guards of Dazhou. I thought that there would be no more Xuanxu tribe in the world, but I never thought that there would still be people of the Xuanxu tribe alive." !"

"I see!"

Jiang Li nodded, 80 years ago, the Great Zhou Dynasty destroyed Wei, and the remnant royal family of Wei State led [-] Wei soldiers to the north to merge with Beimang.

This is the reason why the Xiong people would rather die than descend to Beimang.
