Chapter 5686 Southern Barbarians
For example, even if he conquered some mountain tribes in the northwest corner of the north, he would still let them live in the same way as before.
They were not allowed to unify, nor were they allowed to be disturbed by outsiders. Itβs just that itβs easier for them to communicate with the outside world.
Therefore, those tribes are now very satisfied with Ye Liuyun's governance and are very cooperative.
There are also the Sifang tribes in the west who are very grateful to Ye Liuyun for unifying them and eliminating internal friction.
They now have no shortage of resources, the tribe is getting better and better, and they all firmly support Ye Liuyun. .π .
Whenever necessary, they would send tribal martial arts cultivators to fully support him.
He has this attitude towards the barbarians and even the dragon clan. If they don't become enemies with him, he can allow them to exist.
There will definitely be fights between individual martial artists. Today you kill me, tomorrow I will kill you, as long as it doesn't escalate to a war.
Even the disciples of the Ye family under his control and the affiliated families often had fights, and he told the elders to ignore them.
Only by fighting with each other can there be competition and improvement. Otherwise, there would be no competition and the disciples would have no motivation to improve.
He even supports holding martial arts competitions between families to give his disciples the motivation to improve.
When Ye Liuyun arrived in the south, he released the death army and camped outside the barbarian border.
The martial arts cultivators of the sect all retreated and were handed over to Ye Liuyun.
There is a large mountain range blocking the southern barbarians, and then there is a plain. The terrain is good, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
They can also be self-sufficient in their own lives and do not need outside intervention.
Ye Liuyun was not in a hurry to take action, and was prepared to understand the situation first. He just asked the formation master to arrange a defensive formation for the military camp.
But he didn't expect that they would be attacked by barbarians that day.
It turned out that the barbarian leader Hetuli noticed that the martial arts cultivators who came to attack them suddenly withdrew, and felt something was wrong.
He immediately took people to investigate and found that a group of troops had arrived.
He thought he was going to step up his attack on them, so he decided to take the initiative and catch his opponent by surprise first.
He gathered 30,000 barbarian warriors and attacked the military camp from three sides at the same time.
It's just that they don't understand the formation very well, so they were trapped by the formation as soon as they arrived.
The military camp has two levels of formations. The first level of the formation is where soldiers are protected.
The first floor extends outside the military camp, trapping all future enemies in it.
"Hey, these barbarians are pretty good at tactics, they know how to sneak attack! They really grasp the timing well!"
Ye Liuyun felt that these barbarians were quite smart.
However, he did not activate the formation to kill the barbarians. Instead, he asked the hunting team to take action and directly captured them all.
The strength of these barbarians is not weak either. Their realm is in the middle or late stage of Xuan Yu, and some of them are in the early or middle stage of Xuan Dao.
The clan leader Hetuli is even more powerful at the fifth level of Xuan Dao.
However, their bloodline and soul power are generally weaker, and their bodies are stronger, much like tribal martial arts.
But the power of the soul is a little stronger than tribal martial arts, at least not much worse than ordinary martial arts.
The leader of the clan, Hetuli, was also captured directly. Those barbarians were very protective of their master and took the initiative to cover for him.
However, Ye Liuyun could see through his realm at a glance, and of course he couldn't hide it.
"If you let me go, I can pay a large amount of resources as ransom!"
Hetuli did not admit his identity at first and just negotiated terms with Ye Liuyun.
But Ye Liuyun didn't need him to admit it. He directly searched the soul to understand the situation and understood everything immediately.
The barbarians fought back because their sect disciples attacked them first. They had no intention of expanding the barbarian tribe.
It's not that they don't want to, but they know that they are not strong enough.
Therefore, Ye Liuyun felt that he had to talk to them to let them completely give up the idea of ββexpansion and sign a contract.
"Chief He, you don't have to hide anymore. I didn't bring many troops when I came this time. I just wanted to solve the problem of the barbarians.
I have unified everything now, and only you barbarians are left. I want to sign a peace contract with you. What do you think? "
As soon as Hetuli saw that his identity was exposed, he stopped pretending.
"But you attacked us first, not us who attacked you first!" He also said.
"Yes, in the process of unification, there will inevitably be fights. My subordinates did not understand your situation in advance before they took action. .π .
But I'm not too late. How about we sit down and solve this problem completely? "
Ye Liuyun also suggested to him.
"You can't defeat us, so you want to negotiate with us? What are you doing early on?" Hetuli said disdainfully.
Ye Liuyun also asked: "What about now? I captured 30,000 of your warriors, but I still can't defeat you?
If I kill you all, can you barbarians still hold on? "
"How can this be your true ability? You are obviously using the formation to take advantage of us and bully us for not being familiar with the formation!
With your true abilities, you are definitely no match for us! Kill if you want, the barbarian warriors will never give in!
Even if we die, there are still hundreds of thousands of barbarians, and they will fight against the invasion with all their strength! "
Hetuli said with his head held high, without any fear.
"Oh? Haha, how can that be considered a real skill?" Ye Liuyun also asked with a smile.
He felt there was no need to fight with the barbarians. These people are all stubborn. If they really fight, he will have to help at least 100,000 people.
"We were not careful this time and it doesn't count. I
Let's fight again. If you can beat me, that's fine! "
Hetuli rolled his eyes and used the provoking method.
"Haha, are you trying to provoke the general? But if you are convinced, I can give you a chance.
But we have captured you after all, so you have to pay the ransom, right? "
Ye Liuyun smiled and didn't care about the thirty thousand people.
It's useless for him to keep these people, and he won't be able to defeat them just because they have 30,000 more warriors.
Therefore, if we can win them over, there will be fewer casualties.
"Okay! We'll get every cent of the ransom!" Hetuli was happy when he saw Ye Liuyun agreed.
"Then sign a contract, pay the ransom, and we will release him!"
Ye Liuyun has no ink marks either. After finding out how much ransom should be paid through soul searching, he signed a contract with Hetuli.
Then Hetuli arranged for someone to go back and collect the ransom.
The 30,000 warriors he brought were naturally happy to hear that he could go back.
Later they found out that Ye Liuyun had made a bet with Hetuli to fight again.
They were also very confident in themselves and thought they were careless this time and were just unfamiliar with the formation.
So they are all confident and ready to fight again when they go back.
Especially when they saw that the soldiers of the Death Legion were not at a high level, they became more confident.
Ye Liuyun saw it all and didn't say much, waiting for them to pay the ransom before releasing them.
He felt that these barbarians were easy to deal with, at least not unable to communicate.
Just dampen their confidence and stop them from thinking about expanding.
He could also take advantage of this battle to weaken the fighting power of the barbarians and reduce their population.
In this way, the barbarians would have no manpower to expand outward.
