Chapter 905: The Young Marquis's Broken Engagement Wife (27)
The man in the bamboo hat didn't care about the captured team leader and said to the others around him, "Hurry up and break out! We've been ambushed."
But the people around him are brothers who have followed this team leader through thick and thin for many years. Between the man in the bamboo hat and this team leader, he naturally gives priority to the team leader.
just
"I've said before, if you dare to come over, I'll slit his throat. Now that things have come to this, I advise you to surrender!" Shangguan Ruojin tightened the wire in his hand a little more.
The man in the bamboo hat was extremely angry.
It is true that this group of foreign soldiers are very powerful, brave and loyal, but in the current situation, what is most needed is flexibility.
The place where they are now is under the jurisdiction of Youcheng and is close to the military camp. The most important thing is that they have been discovered.
At this time, how can we still confront the other party head-on!
After all, the team leader had some brains. He forced himself to breathe and said, "Let's go! Don't let our brothers die here just to save me."
Shangguan Ruojin didn't expect that with the help of the drug and his unique acupoint-pressing technique, this man could still speak.
The soldiers started to break out after receiving the order from the squad leader, but they missed the best opportunity, so one third of them were left behind and taken back to the barracks along with the bandits.
In Shangguan Xiong's tent, he met the alien team leader - Tomur.
"Is your father Tuoba?" Shangguan Xiong looked at this for a long time and suddenly asked.
Tomur obviously didn't expect that the other party would know his father. He was slightly stunned and did not answer the question.
"Even if you don't admit it, I can still recognize you. You look exactly like your father." Shangguan Xiong said with disdain, "Your father never told you that he was captured by my brother, and later it was your grandfather who redeemed him."
"No, I'm a posthumous child!" Tomur said expressionlessly, "I've never met my father. My tribesmen say he was a coward frightened by you. After being captured once, he didn't dare to fight you again."
Tomur's father Tuoba was originally the most qualified among the Khan's children to inherit the position of Khan. However, in order to provide a backup for his brothers, he was captured alive by the Shangguan family.
After living in Youcheng for a few months, Tuoba returned to his tribe and began to persuade his father, brothers, and clansmen to lay down their weapons and stop the conflict with the State of Yu.
What they want can be obtained through trade, and the Central Plains has advanced production and planting technologies. They should vigorously develop their tribes, at least to ensure that everyone has enough to eat, and then talk about other things.
Tuoba's idea was initially accepted by many ordinary tribesmen, but those who opposed him were his relatives and brothers.
They began to speak ill of Tuoba in front of the old Khan, and over time he lost his father's favor and his status as a prince of the tribe.
He became an ordinary tribal vagrant.
But those who wanted to deal with Tuoba still did not let him go, because they all knew that what Tuoba said actually made sense, but why should they bother working hard to cultivate something that they could just rob with force.
Besides, Tuoba's brothers all understood that only war could bring profit.
So during a group hunting activity, Tuoba was killed by a pack of wolves, and at that time his poor wife was just three months pregnant.
After all, she was his son and grandson, so the Khan finally took the woman back to the royal tent.
The treatment they can get is actually limited, but at least they can have enough to eat and can also learn some skills from some coaches, such as archery, horse riding, and martial arts.
"I see. No wonder you two don't seem to have much in common besides your looks!" Shangguan Xiong said thoughtfully, "Let's lock him up first! Let's see if he's willing to redeem him this time."
Shangguan Ruoyu frowned and said, "Such a foolish big man with courage but no strategy, and he's just a small captain, I guess he's not as popular as his father."
"It's okay, it's just a matter of a few meals. If no one redeems them, they will be sent to Coal Hill to do hard labor!" Although counselor Gao Qin had a smile on his face, his words sounded a little scary.
"This time, it was Ah Man who lured the snakes out of their lair and caught these people." Shangguan Ruoyu continued, "But the man who was hiding at the scene ran away. I interrogated those bandits and he was the mastermind behind the plot. If we don't catch him, I'm afraid there will be more trouble in the future."
"Assign guards to Ah Man, and we'll deal with other matters later. He's with the barbarians now, and we won't be able to catch him anytime soon." Shangguan Xiong sighed, "All the children of the Shangguan family, regardless of gender, are in danger."
In fact, this is also one of the reasons why he has not gotten married in these years. He is really afraid.
"Since we can put the matter of the alien race aside for now, let's deal with the other forces." In order to boost the morale of the army, Gao Qin suggested that Shangguan Xiong do something big, "The reason we were able to connect with the alien race so quickly this time was all because of those bandits.
General, I have said before that we must first stabilize the country before we can resist foreign aggression. The bandit problem in Youcheng should be eliminated. These people may have become bandits out of necessity in the beginning.
But over the years, they've all become so arrogant that they even dared to kidnap your Ah Man. Don't you think they should be taught a lesson? And I heard they're all quite fat!"
This is true. Banditry has existed in Youcheng for many years, and their main source of income is robbing passing caravans.
Although it didn't cause much harm to anyone, the attack was still quite cruel.
Shangguan Xiong, who had always felt that he was poor, suddenly brightened up and said to Gao Qin, "You're right. I can't allow others to snore beside my bed. I originally thought they were just small fry and would just ignore them, but now it seems I really can't let them go on like this."
"Shangguan Ruojing, listen to my orders. You lead your men to quickly wipe out the territory occupied by these bandits." Shangguan Xiong thought for a moment and then said, "If you encounter anyone who resists desperately, execute them on the spot. As for those who are willing to mend their ways, bring them back. The vanguard team still needs more people anyway."
"Yes!" Shangguan Ruojing then took the order and left.
Meanwhile, in the other side of the foreign army tent, Sheer Khan, who was sitting in the main seat, was cursing: "I always said that Tomur was unreliable. Being a prisoner must be hereditary. Just wait and see! When he comes back, he will definitely be like his father."
Someone nearby scoffed, "What are you talking about! Tuoba was able to return home because our father paid the ransom. Now you want to be a good uncle and pay the ransom to get him back?"
She'er Khan was Tuoba's younger brother and Tomur's uncle.
"Are you going to leave him in Youcheng?" Although Dur Khan cursed, he didn't really think of giving up his nephew.
