Several days later.
At night.
Youzhou City.
Li Yu and Zhuge Liang were walking in the city, discussing the upcoming situation.
"Your Highness, the Tujue tribe is a great threat. If we want to continue to use our army against the Tujue, we need to deal with them. Otherwise, it will be bad if they take advantage of our retreat.”
Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan and voiced his opinion.
"We will definitely attack the Ancient Barren Tribe and the other tribes. We just lack this opportunity. Let me think of a way to attack them.”
Li Yu agreed with Zhuge Liang's suggestion and began to think about how to deal with the Ancient Tribe of the Wild.
When they talked, they entered the prison of Youzhou City.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
Seeing Li Yu's arrival, all the soldiers in the prison stood at attention and saluted.
"Bring out the leader of the Irontail Division.”
Li Yu ordered.
"Yes."
The soldier immediately went to the lowest cell of the prison and took out a fair-skinned man. This man was Zhi Li, the leader of the Iron Restraint Tribe.
When Li Yu led his soldiers to attack the Irontail Division, Zhi Zhili killed the messenger and escaped when no one was paying attention.
However, the problem was that there was nothing to hide in the vast grasslands. Zhi Zhili couldn't run far at all and was eventually captured by the cavalry.
This was an unexpected gain.
"You Tang dog, you actually dared to bring those small tribe dogs to attack me, and even took away all the money, food, and livestock of my tribe.”
When Li Yu and Zhi Zhili saw each other, the latter immediately started cursing loudly.
He cursed a few times without stopping.
Li Yu listened calmly as he looked straight at Zhi Li. No one could tell what expression he had on his face.
A moment later.
Perhaps he felt that Li Yu didn't have much of a reaction, so he kept his mouth shut.
"Why do you think I don't dare to attack your tribe?”
Li Yu suddenly asked.
"Uh…"
Zhi Zhili was stunned.
"Let me tell you, not only did I attack your tribe and steal your money, food, and livestock, I also killed the men of your tribe and enslaved your women and children.”
Li Yu said.
This sentence completely ignited Zhi Zhi's anger. He stood up angrily, wanting to push Li Yu down and strangle him.
But before the soldiers around him could react, Li Yu had already raised his Thunder Dragon Fangs.
With the sharp tip of the spear pressed against his throat, Zhi Zili instantly calmed down.
"Look, your nature is cowardly, just like how you abandoned your clansmen and ran away. Shouldn't a tribe ruled by a useless leader like you be plundered and slaughtered?”
Li Yu said expressionlessly.
Hearing this, Zhi Zhi Li's pupils dilated and he was stunned.
The Thunder Dragon Tooth had threatened Zhi Li physically, causing him to lose his will to fight. Li Yu's words were a psychological attack, directly shattering Zhi Li's heart.
Zhi Zhi Li instantly became depressed, covering his face and crying like a weakling.
"Trash."
Li Yu withdrew his Thunder Dragon Tooth and said coldly,""I want to ask you something. If you answer truthfully, I will let you go and give you a large sum of money to live in the Great Tang.”
"Really?"
Zhi Zhili raised his head and asked.
"Of course it's true, as long as you answer my questions. First of all, what has the Ancient Barga Clan been doing recently?”
Li Yu asked.
When he heard this question, Zhi Zhi did not answer directly. Instead, he hesitated for a moment.
Zhi Zhili was indeed weak, but he was not stupid.
He knew that Li Yu was asking this to deal with the Ancient Wilderness Tribe. With Li Yu's powerful military strength, the Ancient Wilderness Tribe would definitely suffer heavy losses.
The ancient tribe of Baye was friends with the tribe of Tiele. Back then, Qibi Kesai was the first leader of the tribe of Tiele. When he was about to starve to death, he was saved by the people of the ancient tribe of Baye.
This was kindness.
Betraying the benefactor of their ancestors was something that they could not see Longevity Heaven after death. They could not do it.
However, Zhi Zhili immediately realized the current situation. He had already crossed the river, why should he care about others?
After thinking for a while, Zhi Zhi finally decided to tell the truth.
"The Ancient Tribe of Baye and the other tribes formed an alliance army to bypass Wu City and attack Martial Arts City. In order to take down Martial Arts City as soon as possible, he sent out many elite troops.”
"When the elite troops started to advance, Tu Bili sent me an envoy to ask me to send some men to attack with them. However, the Tiele Tribe had just suffered heavy losses, so I didn't agree.”
Zhi Zhili spoke frankly about the information regarding the Ancient Tribe of the Wilderness.
"Your Highness, this information is extremely important!”
Zhuge Liang said hurriedly.
"That's right."
Li Yu nodded.
Both he and Zhuge Liang thought of a strategy, which was to take advantage of the time when the Ancient Baye Tribe sent their elite troops to Wugong City to attack these elites. Without the elites, the Ancient Baye Tribe would definitely suffer heavy losses and their strength would be greatly reduced.
This was a good opportunity!
"Immediately prepare the rations and supplies. We will immediately use troops!”
Li Yu ordered.
"This one can prepare it."
Zhuge Liang cupped his hands and left.
At this time, only Li Yu and Zhi Li were left in the prison.
The latter had already answered the question. Now, it was time for Li Yu to fulfill his promise.
"Hang this bandit chief on the city gate tower of Youzhou City.”
Li Yu coldly glanced at Zhi Zhi Li, then turned around and left after giving the order.
The soldiers in the prison swarmed forward and held Zhi Li down.
"You damned dog Tang, you didn't keep your word!”
"You…"
Zhi Zhili wanted to continue cursing, but the soldiers at the side gave him two slaps.
"Damned savage dog, why didn't you keep your word when you invaded Youzhou?”
The soldier shouted.
Without waiting for Zhi Zhi Li's reply, the soldiers took him to the city gate tower and hung him there.
At the same time, Zhuge Liang, who was in charge of gathering the supplies, also quickly finished his work. He took a portion of the food and livestock that he had previously seized.
Not only did Zhuge Liang take care of the provisions and supplies, he also took care of the soldiers. He transferred five thousand soldiers from the Wei Army, along with the Imperial Cavalry and the Slaves.
In order to engage the elites of the Ancient Baye Tribe as soon as possible, the Battle Slaves Army and the Beiwei Army all rode horses.
Apart from the soldiers, Li Yu brought Bai Qi along out of habit.
Everything was ready, but there was still a problem.
They only knew that the elites of the Ancient Baye Tribe were marching toward Martial Arts City. They did not know where they were or where they should ambush them.
In order to solve this problem, Zhan Nuyong found the War Slaves who were familiar with the Ancient Tribe of the Wilderness.
"Your Highness."
The emaciated soldier next to Zhan Nuyong kowtowed and said,""My tribe was exterminated by the Ancient Baye Tribe. I know them very well. From the Ancient Baye Tribe to Wu City and then to Martial Arts City, there is only one route that can be used to march.”
Hearing this, Li Yu nodded in satisfaction and pointed forward."Let's go."
