Chapter 132 337~338
In fact, not only people in the tribe where the eagle belongs to want to surrender, but also many people in other Xiqiang tribes who want to surrender in their hearts, but there are very few people with the ability to act like the man of the eagle tribe.
The person who first thought of surrendering, and then discovered that Qin State had come to build a city near his tribe's hiding place, was named Baihu.
The name was given by his father, who wanted him to be as smart as a fox when he grows up.
He is indeed smart, but too timid to be a qualified fighter.
In the tribe, the white fox was not taken seriously, so after the death of his parents, there was not much sense of belonging to the tribe left by the white fox——
This is also the reason why he dared to act immediately after he had the idea of surrender in his heart.
……
After a "friendly negotiation" with the tribe, the white fox successfully avoided the eyes and ears of all the tribe with the help of him, successfully left the valley where the tribe hid, and came outside the city that Qin State was building.
Because only part of the buildings and the waist-high city wall have been built, after the white fox arrives at the destination, he can still clearly see all the soldiers and helpers busy inside the city wall.
Several of them looked quite familiar. They were either members of his own tribe or tribesmen who had befriended him. He even managed to see the brother of the tribe who helped him escape before.
The bull is tall and big, with a long scar hanging on his face.
But now he is wearing Qin people's clothes, although he is pushing a strange object that is a combination of a big bucket and two wheels, and it is even filled with a pile of red stones, but he is still very relaxed and comfortable with the people next to him As he spoke, there was a smile on his face from time to time.
Most importantly, he looked stronger than when he stayed in the tribe.
Looks like it's been really good.
The white fox didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately grabbed his bag and walked towards the Qin people's city.
……
The soldiers of Qin State who were in charge of patrolling today saw the white fox quickly, and immediately recognized his unique Western Qiang costume.
The soldiers immediately found the captain and reported the situation.
After the captain confirmed it, he immediately ordered: "All soldiers put down their work, immediately take up weapons and go to the west wall to guard!"
As soon as the words fell, a group of soldiers in uniform and holding weapons appeared at the west city wall after a crackling sound, and they were staring at the white fox that was still walking slowly.
When he got closer, the captain realized that the other party was holding a burden in his arms.
Captain: "???" Isn't it the spy who came to explore the way?
He was still worried, and stared at the visitor with his weapon in his hand.
then……
The man walked about 50 meters away from the city wall, put down his burden and weapon in front of everyone, and yelled at them, "I'm here to surrender—"
Um?Uh-huh?Hmmmm?
WTF?
The captain picked his ears, almost thinking he had heard wrong.
Unexpectedly, the other party thought they didn't hear clearly, put their hands together and put them near their mouths, and then yelled again: "I said, I'm here to surrender—"
The captain was stunned, and turned to look at the soldier beside him: "Did you hear what he just said?"
The soldier said stupidly: "I heard that, he said he came to surrender!"
The captain realized that this matter was out of his control, immediately put away his weapons and ran into the city wall, and after asking the surrounding soldiers, he quickly ran to where Xiao He was—
After Xiao He and Xiao refused to go to Xiqiang to build the city, they still agreed to go to Xiqiang to lead Lu Zhi and Zhang Fu to build two cities, and at the same time they would leave the team who built the city together to Liuren.
Xiao He and Xiao and Lu Zhi and Zhang Fu generally divided into two groups: Xiao He and Lu Zhi went to one city together, while Xiao and Zhang Fu went to another city.
Coincidentally, the white fox came to defect to the city that Xiao He and Lu Zhi were in charge of.
When the captain found Xiao He, he was discussing with Lu Zhi which building to build next. Seeing the captain coming, both of them were a little puzzled.
The captain didn't dare to delay: "A Xiqiang man came outside and said that he came here to surrender. The humble officer realized that this matter is serious, so he came directly to ask the two for instructions."
Xiao He and Lu Zhi exchanged glances, and immediately decided to go together.
When they reached the city wall, the two of them saw the white fox standing 50 meters outside the city wall at a glance.
Xiao He was about to speak, but Lu Zhi asked the soldiers inside the city wall: "I remember that I captured some Xiqiang cavalry nearby? Does anyone know this person?"
At first, no one answered, and Lu Zhi didn't speak, just waited patiently.
Soon, a Xiqiang man with a scar on his face stepped forward and claimed the white fox in a low voice: "That's my clansman, just like me, just an ordinary person, and his name is Baihu."
Lu Zhi didn't quite understand what he said, the accent was too strong, so he turned to look at the others.
The person beside him said, "Da Tie said, the one outside is a white fox from his clan, and he has no special identity."
Lu Zhi nodded and turned to look at Xiao He.
Both of them are officials of Jiuqing in name, but in fact Xiao He's status is much higher than Lu Zhi's. In addition, Xiao He is now Lu Zhi's teacher, and the relationship between the two is naturally respected by Xiao He.
Xiao He was still a little awkward earlier: Although Lu Zhi didn't know, the fact that she was his brother's runaway fiancée always made Xiao He a little embarrassed.
But after overcoming this embarrassment, Xiao He treated Lu Zhi no differently from ordinary subordinates.
After all, it has been many years since Lu Fei and Liu Bang both forgot about it, so it doesn't make sense that he, an outsider, would be affected by it.
Xiao He glanced at Da Tie, then turned his head to look at the white fox standing outside the city wall who was kicking stones boredly, then raised his hand and picked up a horn——
This speaker is a gadget specially researched by Mo Shu when he was researching electrical appliances.
It's not very useful, but it works wonders for spreading the word.
He picked up the horn and said directly: "White fox, is your master here?"
When the white fox heard the sound amplified by the loudspeaker, his whole body trembled in fright, and then he saw two men and women in brightly colored costumes appearing beside the city wall, and subconsciously shook his head.
While shaking his head, he said, "I came from the tribe alone, no one else."
Xiao He frowned: alone?
Worried that they wouldn't believe it, the white fox deliberately walked a certain distance towards the city gate. After making sure they could hear his words clearly, he said seriously: "I escaped from the tribe secretly. There is really only one person."
Just in case, Xiao He turned his head to look at the captain, "Lead your troops around and take a look around."
The captain quickly nodded, and immediately ordered many soldiers to follow him out.
Two people were left to search the white fox, and then brought him back to the city, while all the remaining soldiers followed the captain and searched in the direction where the white fox appeared just now.
Soon, the captain came back with the soldiers: "There is no one else, and I didn't see anything strange."
After Xiao He confirmed it, he was a little disappointed.
But even if only one person surrendered, it would be very groundbreaking for this war between Qin and Xiqiang: after all, before this, except for those who were captured, no one in Xiqiang had ever chosen to surrender voluntarily.
Xiao He ordered someone to bring the white fox back to his residence, and asked Da Tie and others to send it there as well.
Big Tie was a little strange: "Why did you come here alone? Where is my brother?"
He had thought that someone would surrender voluntarily, but he thought that the surrendered person would be his brother, so when he heard the Xiqiang people coming, he put down his work and ran to the edge of the city wall.
But unexpectedly, the person who came was not his brother but Baihu.
The white fox glanced at him: "Your brother asked me to come and find the way, and if I live well here, write to him, and he will come to you right away."
Da Tie paused, and hurriedly urged: "Then write quickly!"
Baihu: "...I just arrived, but I don't know what life is like in Qinren City."
Da Tie said impatiently: "What kind of life can it be? Of course it's a good life! Not to mention three meals a day, each meal includes meat, vegetables, and rice, and you are full after every meal. Although you have to share with several people We live together, but the place where we live not only allows us to take a hot shower every few days, but also has thick quilts and exquisite sheets and quilts on the bed."
"Now that the weather is getting colder, each of us can even buy cheap but thick sweaters and cotton-padded clothes from sweater factories at a low price. It is extra warm to wear. I heard that in winter, there will be kangs and floor heating in the house. The whole house is as warm as a spring day."
"Each of us can ride a bicycle when we travel, and that thing has a cushion on the buttocks, which is much more comfortable to ride than a horse."
"Although we are captives, each of us is paid for our work. Although it is a little less than ordinary people, but according to those Qin people, our wages are already quite a lot. If we don't spend money indiscriminately , after building a few more cities, we can even buy a house of our own..."
After Da Tie was arrested, he thought that he would definitely suffer, maybe even lose his life, but he didn't expect that what happened afterwards was like a dream. Not only was he not beheaded, he was not even put in a prison They were tortured and interrogated with whips.
On the contrary, Datie's life in this city of the Qin people is simply not too comfortable.
In addition to being more tired than before, eating, drinking, living and sleeping well, there is still hope for the future. The life in the tribe before is simply incomparable!
The white fox stared blankly at Da Tie, a little in disbelief: "Can I take a bath every few days?"
Because the water resources are not rich, the Xiqiang people are a little particular about——
In the past, it was said that water is precious, and it is best to drink all of it. Later, it gradually evolved into not allowing bathing with water, and how often you take a bath is to respect the gods.
Although everyone knows the reason, but thinking of the scarcity of water resources, they can only acquiesce.
but……
Of course, Big Tie knew the reason for his astonishment: "Yes, the Qin people seem to have developed a machine that can fetch water from the ground. Every time we just need to drill a big hole into the ground and install a wheel, we can go to the water. Water came out of it."
In addition, Datie also talked about a lot of details about the life of the Qin people.
Baihu could tell that Da Tie was very satisfied with his current life.
However, hearing is believing.
Baihu still said: "I need to live here for a period of time to make sure that what you said is true before writing to your brother."
Big Tie was a little annoyed, but seeing the insistence of the white fox, he had no choice but to walk away.
But he didn't want to see a soldier greet him as soon as he left the dormitory: "Da Tie, the captain said that this white fox will come to our Qin city to surrender. It must be because of you, so I decided to reward you with some money."
Da Tie was at a loss: "Huh? I don't have friendship with the white fox, so it's definitely not that he would come to surrender..."
The soldier didn't seem to be listening carefully, so he dragged him and ran to the captain's residence: "Hurry up and come with me to the captain's place to receive the reward. I heard there is a thousand coins."
A thousand dollars? !
Da Tie immediately closed his mouth, looked back at the dormitory where the white fox lived, and decided to receive the reward first, and then communicate with the white fox.
Big deal, when the time comes, I will share the thousand dollars with Baihu!
How Big Iron and Baihu "divided the spoils" was unknown to others, but the fact that he got a thousand rewards for the arrival of Baihu spread throughout the city.
After everyone knew about it, they were envious and jealous, and the others were fine, but those Xiqiang people got their brains twisted after learning about it.
After this incident, Baihu also changed his previous cautious style, and immediately wrote a letter quietly and sent it back to the tribe together with Datie.
Not only Da Tie's brother, Baihu also wrote letters to everyone he knew in one go.
The eagle, who was furious because of the white fox's surrender, received the letter: "???"
The most irritating thing is that Baihu's letter is extremely provocative. After reading it, Xiongying was actually shaken by the content of the letter——
After seeing the content of Baihu's letter, he almost subconsciously thought, if life after surrendering to Qin is really so good, even better than living in the clan, then it seems that there is no problem for him to take all the clansmen to defect directly?As the young patriarch, he should have led the clan to live a better life.
After regaining consciousness: "..."
The eagle turned his head and found that the eyes of the other clansmen who had received the letter were shining, and it seemed that they might say "we will surrender right away" at any time, so he didn't dare to delay, and went directly to his father with the letter.
After the patriarch read it, he looked up at the eagle: "Do you think the contents of the letter are true or false?"
Xiongying paused: "Although the white fox is timid, it has never lied."
The patriarch asked again: "Then what do you think after reading it?"
The eagle fell silent, and then said after a long time: "The first thought that popped into my son's mind after watching it is that surrender seems to be a good idea."
After a while, the patriarch laughed: "Since you have the same idea, then vote!"
