15. The mediocrity is free

"It's not all for you. The Qingyuan Army and the Jingjing Army are also here to spend the winter." Wei Gao said so, and then he made a statement:

The court has agreed that the Xifan cattle and sheep were seized by the Pingrong City Victory, and all of them were distributed to you. My judge Liu Pi immediately asked to recruit a batch of seeds and give them to you. The entire Xishan Mountains of Wei, Song, Gong, Yi, Yi, and Lushui, and Lingmochuan were divided equally, but the Qiangnu and Baigou were lost. Strictly speaking, only the six kingdoms of Xishan are left. The official titles you received before were inherited. The previous generation passed away, and the descendants of the later generations will be conferred and recognized by the court. The Tang family will not interfere in your domestic affairs. If Xifan comes to bully you, I, Wei Gao, will definitely send troops to help you.

The subsequent price was to build four barriers around Wuyou City, Xiaofeng, Dinglian, Ehe and Qiji, which were divided into garrisons by the Qingyuan Army and the Zhenjing Army, and for a one-year period, the siege of Wuyou City was completely blocked and besieged; as for you Xishan Qiang and Wudu Qiang, you all graze the fields around Wuyou City, and revoked the original Wudu Qiang military name, and merged it into the "Tianbao Army", and belonged to the commander's control.

In short, although there are nearly 10,000 foreign soldiers in Wuyoucheng, below the South Road of Xibo, Mangre, I and Gao Jigong were no longer interested in dealing with him. After the 50,000 foreign soldiers on Pingrong Road were defeated, the situation in Xibo was destined. Jigong and I immediately gathered together with the main forces of the three armies of Fengyi, Dingwu, and Yining. After the snow melted in the spring of the next year, we would go to Songzhou to Diezhou plateau and approach Taoshui to seize Hehuang.

That said, Dong Woting and Gao Wantang were relieved of their concerns. Of course, Wei Gao also gave them a "heart-boosting agent", promising that if Victoria Wuyou City fell, your reward would be 500,000 yuan and would never go back on your word.

Now, these groups of Qiang and barbarians were all excited and excited, saying that while we were farming and herding, we were defending the border for Wei Lianshuai and besieging Wuyou City. Lianshuai and Ji Gong would never have any worries.

On the other hand, Gao Yue summoned 500 prisoners of Xifan soldiers and 500 prisoners of Xifan "Yong" in the middle of the camp of Dingwu Army.

When he spoke the first sentence, Gao Yue asked, "Are there any Tang people who are not from the family?"

When his words were translated into Fan language, the group of people looked at each other and no one answered. Then Lang Xi, who was summoned by Gao Yue from Chengzhou, explained that this group of people were mostly from the sixty-one "Dongtai" on the plateau, serving their heads or Zanpu for generations, while the Tang people, whether civilians or soldiers were captured by Xifan, were mostly placed in the new conquest area as slaves.

"Your Majesty Ji, don't bother yourself. According to the last opinion, it is better to use these captives to exchange several prefectures and counties for soldiers without bloodshed." Lang Xi said.

Gao Yue smiled and said no, "The effectiveness and significance of changing these people will be even more extraordinary." Then he stood up and said to Langxi, "You are only responsible for conveying my words to these people."

After the waves are gone, they will do as they do.

Gao Yue first pointed at the ragged mediocre men and said, "You are waiting for generations to be slaves, right? Uncover your hair and reveal your right arm."

These five hundred mediocre men followed the orders of Mr. Ji to lift their dirty hair, or took off their clothes and exposed their gray arms.

Sure enough, there are tattoos on their faces or arms, which is the sign of their identity.

"I know that you are called 'blackhead' in Xifan, and the book is called slaves, and also called Yong. From the first generation of your family, you are all blackheads. From the moment your children are born, they will stab their faces and arms, and the price is not as good as a cattle. Those nobles who serve as Ruben, Dongben, Domain, Fengshui, Sima, and daily officials, want you to live and die. When you are young, you will work in their homes and pastures. When you are old, you will be transferred by them to lower-ranking nobles to continue to enslave you. During the war you will be in your life.

We cannot act as soldiers, so we have no war horses, no weapons, and no armor. We build camps for the army in normal times, and we have to use our lives to fill the ravines in wartime. Even among you, some people are not "Yong", but called "Yang Geng". What is Yang Geng? In layman's terms, they are slaves of slaves. Some people even don't even Yang Geng, what is it? They are called "Ning Geng", which is the slaves driven by slaves. The Tang people and other species who were enslaved by Xifan are called Wen Mo." As he said that, Gao Yue raised his finger, "Wen Mo, Yong, Yang Geng, Ning Geng, the entire Xifan is probably people like you..."

After hearing what Mr. Ji said, the expressions on the mediocre people's faces were numb and they were not shocked too much, because Gao Yue just objectively described their situation.

It is also false to say that the mediocre people do not resist and are completely unkind. They often flee, but after being captured, they must be downgraded to Yang Geng and even Ning Geng, as Gao Yue said, and accepted more cruel treatment. In addition, the reason why Zanpu and the great nobles in Western Fan actively introduced Buddhism was to paralyze the resistance of the lower classes. Buddhism deceived them that people have their next life. For example, when you look at Concubine Bo Yong, she was just a poor daughter, but she was the reincarnation of Zanpu's mother, so now she has become a noble princess - Zanpu's mother can be reincarnated as a poor daughter. As long as you can endure the pain of this life, you can be blessed people in the next life.

But Gao Yue's next words were different. He said directly: "This Tao is different for you. In this Taoist Taoist, you Yong in the Taoist Taoist Taoist, and I have arrested 11,000 people in the two armies of Wuyi Ning. How will this Taoist place you? One will not kill you, and the other will not give you to others to continue to be Yong. I want to liberate you and give you freedom!"

When the words "liberation" and "freedom" that Gao Yue mentioned came out, not to mention the translation of the waves, even the three officials and assistants present were stunned.

The liberator originally refers to the plants being entangled by branches and being liberated and released;

The free person means that people can "do from their own hearts".

Now Duke Ji wants to give these two things to this group of Western Fan Yongshen.
