"Kill the cows and sheep immediately and prepare to eat!”
As Tian Qiong gave the order, the soldiers became excited!
There were many cows and sheep in the Xiongnu tribe, so they could enjoy them to their heart's content.
Not only the soldiers, but even the warhorses of the army could eat the best food stored by the Xiongnu. They did not have to worry about wasting food. After tonight, they would burn everything that they could not finish!
As the soldiers began to slaughter cattle and sheep, a group of soldiers led a group of shabbily dressed, unkempt, and skinny commoners to Tian Qiong.
Before the soldiers could report to Tian He, the group of unkempt men and women came to Tian He. Looking at Tian He, they couldn't help but cry and say excitedly,
"Are you the new prefect of Yanmen Prefecture?”
"Mayor, we are all citizens of Yanmen County!”
"Great, our Han army has finally arrived at the grasslands!”
"That's great!"
"These Xiongnu people don't treat us as humans!”
"Damn Xiongnu dogs, kill them all!”
"Governor, let us kill the Xiongnu dogs with you!”
"Governor, bring us along. We are willing to kill the Xiongnu with you!”
……
" Governor, they were found in the sheep pen…" a soldier beside him said to Tian Kui.
Tian Qiong nodded. Standing at the side, he could smell the disgusting smell of feces and urine from the sheep pen from these people.
He looked at the excited and tear-stained commoners. He looked at their ragged clothes, unkempt appearance, and the wounds on their bodies. It was hard to imagine how much suffering these people of Yanmen County had experienced when they were captured to the grasslands!
Tian Qiong stared at these people who had suffered so much. He shook his head with difficulty and said,
"Commoners, I can't bring you along!”
"I hope you can escape back to the border county and your hometown as soon as possible!”
"In the future, when the Imperial Court starts a war with the Xiongnu, the Imperial Court will still need you to kill the Xiongnu and avenge the dead citizens!”
……
Hearing Tian Qiong's words, the commoners 'expressions became somewhat dejected. However, they knew that if they followed the army, they would definitely be a burden to the army.
After a moment of sadness, their expressions were soon filled with excitement and anticipation.
If the imperial court were to declare war in the future, they would definitely slaughter their way into the grasslands and kill all the Xiongnu people to take revenge!
Very soon, these commoners all spoke up,
"Governor, we will listen to you. We will escape from the grasslands overnight and return!”
Tian Qiong nodded and asked the soldiers to prepare a meal for them. He then mounted his horse and quickly disappeared into the darkness, heading south!
A group of soldiers who had been lying in ambush at the tribe's border to prevent any fish from escaping the net had also returned.
" Governor, I'm useless. Two Xiongnu people have disappeared into the night and we can't find any traces of them…"
The soldier said in shame.
Tian Meng didn't care, nor did he blame him. It was very difficult to kill an entire tribe in the dark without leaving any survivors.
He ordered the soldiers to rest on the spot after eating a big meal. The Xiongnu people would not come so soon.
…
On a grassland somewhere in the Yin Mountain Range!
It was a city that occupied a vast area, but the city walls were not tall. In fact, it looked a little simple and crude!
The city wall was made of mud walls, wooden planks, and trees. Compared to the tall and sturdy city wall in the Central Plains, the city wall here was short and simple.
However, it was extremely rare for such a city to appear in the vast grassland.
And this was the current Dragon City of the Xiongnu!
That was the Xiongnu Chanyu's royal court!
Ever since the first Xiongnu Chanyu, Touman Chanyu, built Touman City as the Chanyu's royal court, the later Xiongnu Chanyu seemed to like to follow the Han people and build cities where the Chanyu's royal court was located.
Unfortunately, their city building technology was too backward.
At this moment, not far from Dragon City!
Ta…
A group of people quickly entered Dragon City under the lead of a dignified middle-aged man wearing a golden eagle crown and luxurious fur coat.
Countless guards at the side looked at the middle-aged man who was riding a horse and bowed respectfully.
"Great Chanyu!"
"Great Chanyu!"
"Great Chanyu!"
……
Wherever he passed, countless guards and Xiongnu people greeted him respectfully.
This was because he was the current Xiongnu Chanyu, Junchen Chanyu!
Today, the military minister Chanyu seemed to be in a good mood. As he galloped on his horse, he nodded at the Xiongnu people beside him with interest.
Soon, the military minister Chanyu rode on his warhorse and led a group of Xiongnu soldiers to the center of Dragon City. They came to a huge dome.
On top of the dome stood a golden eagle inlaid with gold. The golden eagle had an imposing aura and was shining brightly. It was a symbol of supreme power!
This was Junchen Chanyu's royal tent, and it was also the largest and most luxurious tent in Dragon City!
The military minister Chanyu dismounted in front of the dome and walked straight into the king's tent.
At this moment, there were already many generals and ministers in the main tent.
They looked at the military minister Chanyu, who was wearing a gold-feathered eagle crown and luxurious fur coat and pointing at the golden scepter, coming to the king's tent and saluted him respectfully,
"Great Chanyu!"
"Great Chanyu!"
……
"Yes, everyone is almost here!”General Chanyu looked at everyone and nodded solemnly.
"We're almost here. Chief, I heard that you went hunting in the morning. I wonder how your harvest is?”
A general said to the military minister.
"Great Danghu Zuo, when has Great Dan not returned with a full compliment?”
Someone pointed at him and laughed.
"Haha, that's true. Chief Chanyu, when will you bring us to the south to hunt? The prey there is rich enough! You're only putting in enough effort to fight!"
The Left Great Danghu laughed.
When Junchen Chanyu heard this, he also smiled and educated him,
"Don't be impatient, Great Danghu Zuo. The Han people are like sheep raised in a sheep pen. You need to wait until they are at their fattest before you can slaughter them.”
"What the Chief Chanyu said is right. Then let's wait for a period of time. We'll attack when they're at their fattest!”
The Left Great Danghu laughed loudly.
The generals and ministers in the tent also laughed.
Soon, the military minister Chanyu sat on the luxurious fur-covered throne. He looked around at the Xiongnu officials and generals and said,
"Everyone, please take a seat!"
The ministers and generals sat down at the side.
Today, they were going to hold a meeting in the king's tent.
"Everyone, winter is coming soon. How is the situation with the grain storage of the grassland tribes?”
General Chanyu asked the people below.
"Great Chanyu, don't worry. We have plundered a lot of food and property from the Han Dynasty this time, enough to last us until next spring!”
Someone quickly stood up and said.
General Chanyu nodded slightly and then continued to discuss other matters with the others.
As the discussions in the main tent continued!
Outside the king's tent, a Xiongnu soldier led a disheveled Xiongnu man who looked exhausted and was combing his hair as he quickly headed toward the king's tent!
After informing the guards, the Xiongnu soldier led the Xiongnu into the king's tent.
At this moment, everyone in the tent was discussing something when they suddenly saw a Xiongnu soldier leading a disheveled Xiongnu man in.
The military minister Chanyu, who was sitting at the head of the table, frowned slightly. His sharp eyes swept over the two people in the middle of the main tent.
Before the Xiongnu soldier could report, the disheveled Xiongnu man immediately knelt on the ground and wept at the military minister Chanyu.
"Great Great Chief!"
"You must seek justice for us. Those hateful Han soldiers slaughtered our entire tribe!”
