"Huaiyin Mountain won."
"The County of Yan's army has destroyed the He Lan tribe and captured He Lan Guduo alive.”
Dongyuan County
The county magistrate Fu Yuan and the county deputy Lin Ruhai were leading the county officials and soldiers to help the villages collect grain.
Suddenly, a soldier holding a large flag rode over and shouted.
"What?"
Shocked, Fu Yuan hurriedly ordered the bailiffs to stop the soldiers and question them. Soon, the bailiffs returned.
" Lord, at dawn this morning, 4,000 soldiers of the Prefecture of Yan penetrated hundreds of miles into the grassland and wiped out the He Lan tribe."”
"Even King He Lan Gu Duo has been captured and is on the way back to Yanzhou City.”
"Is that true?"
Lin Ruhai hurriedly asked.
"Absolutely."
the bailiff replied.
"Haha, well done."
Fu Yuan woke up from his shock and cried tears of joy.
"These Hu who suffered a thousand knives are finally dead.”
The surrounding commoners also felt relieved.
Just like the victory at Shuo Yin, the entire Northern Liang was decorated with lanterns and streamers. Today, the Yan County was also proud.
Countless men, women, and children walked on the streets, dancing dragons and lions to celebrate the battle of Huaiyin.
Although he had only flattened the He Lan tribe, it was a good start. It proved that this new prefect dared to make a move against the Hu Qiang tribes.
When the carriage carrying Helan Guduo entered Yanzhou City, thousands of people came to watch.
Countless people threw rotten eggs, stones, and rotten vegetables.
It could be seen how much the people of Yan County hated these Hu Qiang tribes. They wanted to eat their flesh and sleep with their skin.
If it wasn't for the prefectural soldiers stopping them, these tribal leaders would have been beaten to death.
After escorting Helan Guduo and the others into the prison, Meng Jiao headed straight for the prefect's manor.
Zhang Long and Huyan Lie led their men to guard Wu Town to guard against the other tribes.
"Milord, this time we wiped out the He Lan tribe and seized four thousand warhorses, thirty thousand cattle and sheep, five thousand bows and crossbows, twenty thousand taels of gold, one hundred thousand taels of silver, and countless treasures.”
Hall
"All of them have been transported to the treasury. The Deputy Chief of the Imperial Residence is currently bringing people to count them," said Meng Jiao.”
"Take out 30% and reward the entire army."”
Among the spoils of war, warhorses and crossbows were especially important. He was about to recruit more troops.
The County of Yan did not lack people, but weapons and food.
Of course, these tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver could also greatly enrich the treasury.
Mosquito legs were also meat. Moreover, the harvest this time was much greater than mosquito legs.
"How many casualties?"
he asked.
"351 people died in battle, 223 people were seriously injured, and 70 people were lightly injured," Meng Jiao said.”
"The main thing is that we caught He Lan tribe off guard, so the casualties were very small.”
"Big Plate, bring me the map."
Lin Xuan waved his hand.
"Alright."
He pointed at the other Huqiang tribes on the map and said in a deep voice,""After we destroy the He Lan tribe, the other tribes within a few hundred miles will retreat and strengthen their defenses.
It would not be easy to launch another surprise attack.”
"It seems like he has been suppressed."
" If it wasn't for the limited number of troops," Meng Jiao said," after destroying the He Lan tribe, we would have directly moved to the grasslands. In half a month, we would have completely destroyed all these tribes, big and small.”
"There's no hurry."
Lin Xuan shook his head." You have to eat bit by bit. You have to walk step by step. In another half a month, when the grain in the counties is almost collected, you can start recruiting.
With the battle at Huaiyin Mountain, he would not have to worry about not being able to recruit people.”
"The day before yesterday, the Northern Liang sent a letter saying that the horses and armor of five thousand cavalrymen are already on the way, and there are also a hundred thousand dan of grain.”
Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows.”
"Milord, should we go to the grasslands and light a fire when the grass and trees turn yellow?”
"Fire a thousand miles," Meng Jiao said.”
"Not this year."
Lin Xuan shook his head,"We don't have the strength to eat all the tribes in one go for the time being. If we burn the grassland, they won't be able to survive and will fight us to the death."”
"After the soldiers are trained, every inch of land that is burned is an inch of land that is occupied.”
"When the time comes, we will force them to face us head-on and defeat them in one go. Then, we will take advantage of the situation and take the Thousand Mile Grassland into the territory of the County of Yan.”
It had to be said that even a great demon like Big Plate could not help but feel his scalp go numb after hearing Lin Xuan say such words casually.
This was to completely eradicate all the Huqiang tribes, not even giving them any space to survive.
"We will follow the original plan. We will rely on the three cities of Wuzhen to defend. We will scout for hundreds of miles and closely monitor the tribes. If they don't come, we won't move.”
"Yes."
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, the weather was clear and the entrance of Yanzhou City was crowded with people.
On the execution platform, He Lan Guduo and the seven tribe leaders were tied to wooden stakes. Their mouths were stuffed with rags, and their limbs could not move.
Their eyes were wide open and their faces were pale as they struggled.
Lin Xuangao was sentenced to death in Taishan.
Wang Qing stood up and read out the official document." The criminal, Helan Guduo, is the leader of the seven tribes. He does not respect the teachings of the Celestial Empire and the laws of the country. He is a barbarian. He has sent troops into the County of Yan many times, robbing the people and stealing food.”
"This person has committed a heinous crime. The evidence is conclusive.”
Lin Xuan expressionlessly took out the token arrow in front of him and threw it in front of Helan Guduo. Eight fiendish executioners went on stage.
The torture began, accompanied by low and painful cries. The onlookers felt their hatred vented.
He Lan Guduo only stopped breathing after a full day and night.
Lin Xuan also sat for a day and night until the execution was over. He slowly boarded the execution platform, and the dark crowd immediately quieted down. Fiery gazes gathered on him.
"Thank you, Mayor."
The white-haired old man knelt on both knees, tears streaming down his face."My son and daughter-in-law died in the hands of these bastards.”
"If it wasn't for you, this old man wouldn't have been able to take revenge for this blood feud.”
"Thank you, sir, for avenging us.”
More and more people knelt down. All the citizens of Yan County had a grudge against the Hu.
"Get up."
Lin Xuan spoke. His voice was not loud, but it was extremely clear in their ears.
"Since I've become the governor of the County of Yan, I won't let the Hu cavalry step into the County of Yan.”
Lin Xuan shouted,"There are countless good men in my Yan County. How can we let those grassland tribes plunder and kill us?"”
"The battle at Mount Huai Yin was not just the beginning. The He Lan tribe is nothing.”
"Do you dare to follow me and show the tribes of the grassland the courage of the men of Yan County?”
"I'll let those barbarians who don't want to become kings know the benefits of my Yan Dao.”
"Sir, I am willing to join the army and kill the enemy to serve the country.”
A thin man stood out.
"I'm also willing to join the army.”
More and more people stepped forward, each and every one of them impassioned. Among them were even white-haired old men who could not stand steadily, and mischievous children who were half the height of a man.
