When the sky rose high and the early spring sun shone on the earth, there was still no warmth in the desolate land of Western Liang. Instead, it made people feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts!
The stiff ground was already covered in blood. Corpses were everywhere, and broken limbs were everywhere. The air was filled with a bloody and disgusting smell!
The ownerless warhorses wandered aimlessly, or they gently caressed the corpses of their owners. Vultures lingered in the sky, taking advantage of the lack of manpower to rush down and peck at the flesh!
In this wilderness littered with corpses, everything was so tragic that it made one's heart tremble! The world was dyed red by this blood!
This was the cruelest side of the world. This was the most real war. You die, I die, and everyone dies!
Meng Qian stood among the corpses, his warhorse stepping on the bloody mud as he continued to move forward. The excited cries of vultures could be heard in his ears, and in front of him was an endless mountain of corpses and sea of blood!
He did not know how many times he had seen such a scene. In Meng Qian's many years of fighting, this battle could not be considered the most tragic!
Meng Qian was already used to this cruel scene. War was like this. There were no tragic songs, only the most realistic massacre of flesh and blood!
War is dirty!
"In this battle, our army has killed 8,000 Xiongnu people. No prisoners!"
"However, our army has suffered quite a bit of damage. We need to rest for a period of time!”Jia Xu said softly beside Meng Qian.
Even though he was born in Western Liang, he was still unable to adapt to the cruel battlefield in front of him!
In this battle, almost all the Xiongnu people were killed. Only two to three thousand people escaped in the chaos, but it was no longer important to the overall situation!
The 8,000 men under the direct command of Prince Xian of the Left had been completely slaughtered, causing the entire Xiongnu's power to collapse. In addition, King Li of the Left Valley's troops had been destroyed!
The entire Northwest Xiongnu did not have much combat power left. The remaining motley crew could not threaten the Western Liang army at all!
It could be said that the Western Liang army had already achieved a decisive victory in the north. They had used the corpses of tens of thousands of Xiongnu people to forge the iron-blooded reputation of the Western Liang army!
In the future, the Outsiders, especially the Xiongnu, would only be terrified when they heard the name of the Xi Liang Army!
Western Liang would be their forbidden land!
However, Meng Qian's mood was still exceptionally heavy because the Western Liang army had suffered considerable losses. These were the men of Western Liang who had followed him through countless mountains of corpses and seas of blood!
They would forever fall on the desolate land of the North!
This was the fate of the Western Liang Army!
"Choose a portion of the Han slaves to replenish the losses of the various tribes! The compensation and rewards of the soldiers had to be done well, and all the resources seized had to be tabulated clearly!”
Jia Xu had always done a good job in dealing with the aftermath of the army. Perhaps it was because the Western Liang army had suffered too many losses this time that Meng Qian's mood was heavy and he spoke a little too much!
However, while slaughtering tens of thousands of Xiongnu people, the Western Liang army also rescued tens of thousands of Han slaves. They were all Han people from Western Liang who had been plundered by the Xiongnu people!
They were all strong men from Western Liang, excellent soldiers of the Western Liang army. The losses of Meng Qian's troops would be replenished very quickly!
In fact, the Han slaves had already picked up their weapons. Their target was the countless Xiongnu corpses on the ground!
In the midst of the corpses, they wanted to use their sabers to cut off the heads of the Xiongnu people and gather them together to forge the capital!
They also wanted to pile up the corpses of the Xiongnu people and burn them to prevent the plague from happening!
This was the first test for them to become the Western Liang army. They had to be stained with the blood of the Xiongnu! No one was afraid. Western Liang men had grown up fighting and killing!
They hated the Xiongnu people and would not show mercy to them!
On the other hand, the Western Liang army began to loot the spoils of war!
The Xiongnu had obtained countless rations, gold, silver, and jewelry from Western Liang. Moreover, they had many sheep and horses! At this moment, everything would benefit Meng Qian!
This was the way the Western Liang army lived. As the toughest border army, they were not valued by the imperial court. They could only plunder from the enemy!
Hearing Meng Qian's instructions, Jia Xu gently nodded and said," Yes, my lord!”
All in all, after fighting these two battles and slaughtering tens of thousands of Xiongnu people, the benefits that the Western Liang army had obtained were immeasurable!
All of this needed to be calculated slowly, and this was not all. The Western Liang army had only destroyed the main force of the Xiongnu!
There were still a large number of Xiongnu tribes in the northwest. Those tribes might not be too strong, but they had plundered countless resources in Western Liang!
The Western Liang Army would definitely not let those Xiongnu people off! This was the foundation for strengthening the Western Liang Army under Meng Qian! However, there was no need for the entire Western Liang Army to be mobilized. They could just leave it to the various lieutenants!
"Meng Ying, bring your men back to the North! Let's see if Montessori is doing well!" Meng Qian turned to Meng Ying and said in a deep voice.
However, Meng Ying was stunned. Her mouth was wide open."What? Erm, Second Brother, you'd better not make me go back!”
Meng Ying looked miserable. He looked around and asked Meng Ao and his brothers for help, but he was mercilessly betrayed!
Meng Ao and the others looked up at the sky, completely ignoring Meng Ying's discomfort. They were afraid that they would be provoked!
Meng Qian's calm gaze looked at him as he softly snorted and said,"You!"
Meng Ying immediately wilted and looked listless. He really didn't want to go back to the Meng Group! Even if she went back, she couldn't go back alone!
He slandered Meng Qian in his heart, You were the one who brought us away from the Meng family! I'll be scolded when I go back, but you want me to go back alone! It's not fair!"
Meng Qian naturally didn't know about Meng Ying's slander and didn't care. It would be good to let Meng Ying return to the Meng Clan to investigate the situation first!
Meng Qian would definitely be embarrassed when he returned! Ever since they left the Meng Clan, they had almost never returned! Last time, when he took a detour to the north, he didn't have the time!
They really didn't want to go back! They would definitely have to obey the clan rules! However, the blood of the Meng family flowed in their veins. That was their roots. No matter how bad their relationship was, Meng Qian and the others were still members of the Meng family!
Besides, how could there be any real resentment? Those clan elders probably only hated them for not competing!
The children of the Montessori family will never be subjects of the Han Dynasty!
The creed that the Meng Family had held on to for so many years was broken by them. It was already good enough that those old fellows didn't expel Meng Qian and the others from the Meng Family!
Meng Qian cursed in his heart,"A bunch of stubborn old fogeys!"
At the same time, he asked Meng Ying to bring some people back to see if there was any trouble with the Meng family and let him go back to be punished first!
Meng Qian's blood flowed in his veins. How could he remain indifferent to the place where he was born and raised?
However, Meng Ying suddenly felt like he had nothing left to live for. The other brothers looked like they were gloating!
