Jia Yuan gestured for everyone to stand up, then looked at Zhao Zilong and said,""Zilong, a month ago, I ordered you to prepare rations in Dingxiang County. How are your preparations?”
Zhao Zilong cupped his hands and said," My lord, Zilong has prepared enough rations for the army to go deep into the grasslands for half a month. My lord can lead the White Horse Righteous Followers into the grasslands at any time."”
Jia Yuan pulled out his sword and pointed it at the sky." Fellow brothers, ever since the founding ancestor of this dynasty, the hands of the Xiongnu have been stained with the blood of countless people of the Great Zhou. Now that the Xiongnu have invaded the border, I have decided to bring you into the grasslands and bathe in blood in the desert. You may die there, but you will obtain supreme glory. Countless people of the Great Zhou will remember that it was because of your sacrifice that the Great Zhou was at peace. Are you willing to follow me to the expedition?”
"Follow my lord, even if I have to die, follow my lord, even if I have to die.”
The five thousand White Horse Righteous Servants let out a roar at the same time, shaking the heavens and shaking the earth. Their killing intent soared into the sky.
Jia Yuan pointed his sword at the north and shouted,""Righteousness is accompanied by life and death. The heavens can testify, and the white horse can testify. Brothers, follow me to the expedition.”
Jia Yuan took the lead and galloped out, followed closely by five thousand white horses. His aura was as mighty as a golden horse and a tiger's.
At this moment, the Xiongnu tribe on the grasslands was still immersed in the peaceful life of herding horses and sheep, waiting for the warriors of the tribe to return with the spoils of war. They still did not know what kind of killing star was about to welcome them.
After leaving Dingxiang County, Jia Yuan led the army to march 800 miles. Then, they set up camp and began to repair themselves. They took out their scouts and began to explore the nearby Xiongnu tribes.
In a restaurant in Dingxiang County, the commander of the Imperial City Bureau, Gu Qianfan, who was known as the Living King of Hell, was sitting in a private room and reading the information sent by the spies of the Imperial City Bureau.
Emperor Zhou had put in a lot of effort into this expedition. Even the commander of the Imperial City Department, Gu Qianfan, had been sent out by him. The entire Imperial City Department was responsible for supervising the army and recording the military achievements. At the same time, they were able to report the military situation to Emperor Zhou in a timely manner.
When he saw Jia Yuan leading thousands of cavalrymen out of Dingxiang County and deep into the grassland, he was also very surprised. Ever since the Retired Emperor defeated the sixteen provinces of Yanyun, not a single cavalryman of the Great Zhou had left the fortress for twenty years. It was as if the battle twenty years ago had crushed the back of the Great Zhou.
Gu Qianfan immediately called his men over and said,""Order the scouts to follow the guerrilla general Jia Yuan closely and report the military situation at any time.”
The goshawk communication was used by the Imperial City Bureau to tame the goshawk through the Eagle Taming Technique to transmit information. Compared to the past, the time taken to send letters by pigeon was more than doubled.
However, because it was difficult to tame a goshawk, other than extremely important secrets, the Imperial City Bureau mainly used pigeons to send letters.
Gu Qianfan ordered Jia Yuan's spy to use the goshawk. He wanted to see if Jia Yuan was just trying to please the crowd or if he could really create a miracle.
As Emperor Zhou's trusted aide, Gu Qianfan knew that Emperor Zhou was too eager to obtain a victory to stabilize his throne and show his dignity.
Three days after Jia Yuan led Bai Ma Yi Cong deep into the grasslands, they finally found traces of a Xiongnu tribe.
Zhao Zilong looked at Jia Yuan and said," My lord, according to the scouts, a Xiongnu tribe has been discovered five miles ahead of us. It has about ten thousand people. Please make a decision."”
Jia Yuan immediately said," Good. After three days, we have traveled thousands of miles into the grassland. We have finally found the wolf cub's nest. Zilong, order the soldiers to attack the Xiongnu tribe at full speed."”
"Yes, sir."
Under Jia Yuan's command, the eyes of the 5,000 White Horse Guards lit up. After three days of marching, the killing intent of the White Horse Guards had accumulated to the limit. Now that the enemy was in front, it was time to kill them.
The white horse Yi Cong was a light cavalry, and his speed was the fastest. In less than 15 minutes, the Xiongnu tribe appeared in front of everyone.
Looking at the Xiongnu tribe's peaceful scene of the horses and sheep grazing, Jia Yuan's heart was filled with a deep killing intent. The prosperity of the Xiongnu tribe was completely built on the lives and blood of countless Han people.
Jia Yuan took the lead and charged into the Xiongnu tribe. The entire camp area was in chaos. The white horses were like heartless harvesting machines, harvesting the lives of the Xiongnu people. As long as they appeared in the sight of the white horses, there was only death.
Even though the Xiongnu people rode on horseback and shot arrows across the grasslands, they were still unable to withstand a single blow when they encountered the white horses. Moreover, the Xiongnu Chanyu had already transferred the real warriors of this tribe, leaving behind the old, weak, sick, and disabled.
After an hour of fighting, the entire Xiongnu tribe had been massacred, except for a few children.
Just as Jia Yuan was considering whether to let the children go, Zhao Zilong shouted from a tent,""My lord, come and take a look."
Jia Yuan rode his horse to the front of the tent. When he saw the inside of the tent, he was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat. The tent was filled with Han children, but all of them had broken arms and legs and were blinded. Just this tent alone had nearly a hundred Han children.
"Zilong, go find someone alive and ask him what's going on here," Jia Yuan said immediately.”
"Yes, sir."
After Zhao Zilong accepted the order, he returned to the tent and said with an ugly expression,"" My lord, the people of this tribe said that this is their granary. These children were originally healthy people. In order to prevent them from running away and shouting, they dug out their eyes, cut off their tongues, and cut off their hands and feet..."
At this time, Jia Yuan was already furious. The kindness in his mind had disappeared. Jia Yuan immediately said,"Zilong, kill all the captives and build the capital in front of the camp.”
"Yes, sir. What about these children?”
Jia Yuan hesitated for a moment before saying with a trembling voice,""Give them a quick death."
After dealing with this Xiongnu tribe, Jia Yuan and the others rested for a while before rushing to the next tribe.
When the scouts from the Imperial City Bureau followed Jia Yuan and the others to the tribe, they saw that the camp was already in ruins. In front of the camp, there were more than 10,000 Xiongnu heads of various shapes and sizes.
There was a sign beside Jing Guan with two lines of blood-red words: Those who violate the prestige of our Great Zhou Dynasty will be killed even if they are far away. Jia Yuanli, the guerrilla general of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The scout was shocked by the tragic scene in front of him. He hurriedly called the goshawk to write a message. Then, the goshawk soared into the sky and flew in the direction of Dingxiang.
After delivering the good news, the scouts continued to follow the footsteps of Jia Yuan and the others.
Just as Jia Yuan was leading the white horse Yi Cong on a killing spree in the north of the desert, Chengzhi Lang Sheng Hong was waiting in a private room in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion in the capital.
