Chapter 510 All Released

After resting for half a day, Yunzheng led his army and began to march along the east side of Qinlin Grassland.

In the past two days, they didn't even see a ghost.

However, Yun Zheng was not discouraged.

This is normal.

Knowing that the fall of the Royal Court was inevitable, the tribes around the Qinlin Grassland that were closer to the Royal Court must have fled long ago.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the third day that the Eighteen Ghost Riders who went out to explore the road brought back the news.

About twenty miles in front of them to the right, there was a large-scale migration tribe.

Judging from the direction of their migration, they should be migrating toward the northeast.

After getting the news, Yun Zheng and Qin Qihu became excited.

"Order Qin Qihu to lead his troops to join us immediately! All our troops will dismount to collect forage for them. As much as we can collect!"

Yunzheng quickly issued the order.

Soon, Qin Qihu arrived with his rear army.

After a short rest, they joined forces and quickly launched a surprise attack in the direction of the tribe.

Soon, they saw the tribe.

Without any unnecessary words, as Yun Zheng gave the offensive gesture, the army quickly rushed towards Bei Huan's tribe.

There is no suspense in this battle.

In addition to the elderly and children, there are many young adults and women in this tribe.

But these young men didn't even have armor or decent weapons. When they saw Daqian's elite soldiers rushing over, many of them knelt on the ground and surrendered.

Even the sporadic resistance did not cause them much substantial damage.

Unfortunately, only two soldiers were injured by hunting bows.

Looking at the murderous Daqian cavalry, all the captured people huddled together, their faces full of fear.

The young children were so frightened that they wanted to cry, but their mouths were tightly covered by the people around them, for fear that the children's cries would anger these murderous Daqian cavalry.

Looking at these frightened Beihuan people, many people showed pride on their faces.

Beihuan's military morale and people's morale were shattered by Daqian!

"Your Highness, this tribe does not have decent war horses. They are basically draft horses and colts..."

Soon, Qu Zhi rode his horse to report.

"Don't have a decent war horse?"

Yun Zheng frowned, "Find someone to ask, where are their war horses? This is not a small tribe, it should be impossible that they don't have decent war horses!"

"Indeed not."

Qu Zhi smiled bitterly: "The general has already sent people to interrogate the people of the tribe. All the war horses that can be used in their tribe have been requisitioned. Now there are only some bad horses and a small number of stallions left, and the other ones are pregnant mares..."

Is that so?

"Where's the food?"

Yunzheng immediately asked: "Does this tribe have a lot of food?"

"There is basically no food."

Yu Shizhong shook his head and said: "Now, livestock's milk, wild vegetables, and grass roots are basically their staple food. When the livestock's milk is not enough, they have to kill livestock to satisfy their hunger..."

Listening to Yu Shizhong's words, Yun Zheng felt a little sympathetic to the people of this tribe, but he was also a little happy.

Even the tribes around Qinlin Grassland are mixed like this, which shows that Beihuan's war potential has been almost exhausted.

If their plan succeeds, Beihuan's surrender should not be far away.

Perhaps, there is really no need to go on an expedition in the autumn.

After thinking silently for a while, Yun Zheng walked up to the kneeling prisoners and asked expressionlessly: "Whose tribe do you belong to?"

Facing Yun Zheng's inquiry, many people lowered their heads.

Finally, an old man said tremblingly: "To tell you my Lord, we used to be the tribe of Princess Gayao, but now we are the tribe of King Daming..."

"It used to be Gayao's tribe?"

Yun Zheng was curious and asked: "Then why did you become King Ming's tribe again?"

Is it possible that Guyu still dares to annex Gayao's tribe?

Guiyu doesn't have the courage, does he?

With the old man's fearful explanation, Yunzheng finally figured out what was going on.

There are many people in this tribe who are from Gayao's original tribe.

However, because Beihuan needed a large amount of military supplies and war horses, Jia Yao first attacked his own tribe.

She confiscated many of the livestock of her tribe, leaving only some lambs and the like.

Then, she dispersed her tribe to other tribes. She did not ask other tribes to treat these people well, but only asked to give the people of her tribe something to eat and not let them starve to death.

Before dispersing these people, Gayao promised them that he would compensate them double in the future.

After the old man finished speaking, he said tremblingly: "Princess Gayao said that King Jingbei of Daqian is...a good man and will not kill innocent people. Please...please let us go..."

nice guy?

Yun Zheng almost laughed at the old man's words.

Is Gayao giving himself good guy cards all over the world?

You consider yourself a good person!

I guess in the hearts of Beihuan people, he is a devil, right?

"Don't worry, I always abide by the rules of the grassland!"

Yun Zheng suppressed his smile, looked at the old man indifferently, and immediately ordered Yu Shizhong: "Keep their horses and other livestock and kill them all! Let them have a good meal!"

"My lord, don't!"

Upon hearing Yunzheng's words, the old man immediately begged with tears in his eyes: "We only have so many cattle and sheep, please be merciful and give us a way to survive..."

As he spoke, the old man kept kowtowing to Yun Zheng.

Following the old man's actions, many people began to kneel and kowtow.

"My lord, don't!"

"We can't live without these animals!"

"Please have mercy, sir..."

In an instant, everyone was kneeling down to beg and kowtow.

Yun Zheng's eyes were cold and stern, and he said loudly: "Remember this king's face. I am the King of Jingbei mentioned by Princess Gayao, and I am also her husband! You can make dry food from the meat of these animals. If you don't have anything to eat, , you can come to Shuobei! As long as you move to Shuobei, I promise that you will not starve!"

After saying that, Yun Zhengwu turned around and left, as if he couldn't hear the pleadings of these people at all.

Of course he knew that without these animals, these people would not be able to survive for long.

Although they have a lot of meat now, what if they run out of meat?

This is like a person holding a thousand dollars in his hand and having to live on one thousand dollars for a year.

Now, he spends a thousand yuan to eat and drink.

I feel comfortable eating now, but how will I live in the future?

He just wanted to force Beihuan to surrender!

"Xian brother, these prisoners still follow the old rules?"

At this time, Qin Qihu came to ask again.

Yun Zheng shook his head gently: "Release them all!"

"what?"

Qin Qihu was dumbfounded.

Release them all?

This...this is not like Yunzheng's style!

Yunzheng explained: "We used to kill those people because we were worried about exposing our whereabouts! But now, we want to deliberately expose our whereabouts! Let them spread the news that we are killing in this direction! Force those who want to go here The approaching tribes turned around and ran in the direction of Guifang and the northern barbarians."

He did not kill the horses of this tribe for this reason.

He wants the people of this tribe to ride out on horseback to help him spread the news!

Whether to kill or not to kill depends not only on whether these people should be killed, but also on strategic intentions.

Moreover, they are now trying to force Beihuan to surrender.

I still have to show my benevolent side to the Beihuan people.

"Okay, I'll explain it right now!"

Qin Qihu immediately took the order and left.

I hope Gaoyao can see the situation clearly!

If the fight continues like this, I don’t know how many people in Beihuan will starve to death.

As the princess who oversees the country, shouldn't she think about her people?

After a night's rest, Yunzheng and his men had regained their strength.

Early the next morning, everyone ate their fill of the tribe's slaughtered cattle and sheep.

Before leaving, Yun Zheng told the clan leader of this tribe that he would let the people of his tribe survive this time, and if they meet again next time, they would be killed without mercy!

After that, Yunzheng once again led his troops to launch a raid...
