Chapter 728 This time, we are going to slaughter the tribe!

Chapter 728 This time, we are going to slaughter the tribe!

Beside the swampy stream between the flat hills, Bai Yan led his warhorse, watched the horse drink water, and reached out to gently stroke its thick neck.

Hearing the sound of rumbling horse hooves behind him, Bai Yan turned around and looked. When he saw the Qin cavalry, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, what Bai Yan did not expect was that among the Iron Cavalry generals, there was actually Wumuhu.

Bai Yan had some impression of Wumuhu. If he remembered correctly, Wumuhu was a Hun.

While thinking.

The incessant sound of horse hooves slowly stopped, and the mighty Qin cavalry stopped on a mound not far from Bai Yan. Qin Sui, the general of the Iron Eagle Warriors, came forward with his deputy general and Wumuhu. Next to Wumuhu, there was actually a half-grown boy who was still childish.

"Qin Sui! Ji Heng! Meet the Great Liangzao!"

"Emuhu, meet the Great Liangzao!"

Several people dismounted and saluted Bai Yan, and Wumuhu, as always, performed the highest Hun etiquette to Bai Yan.

"Thank you all for your help on this trip!"

Bai Yan bowed in return, and while speaking, he noticed that the young man next to Wumuhu was looking at him with burning eyes. Looking at the young man's face, Bai Yan had a vague impression of it.

It seems that this is the child from that time... Wumuhu's child!

"Da Liang Zao! This is my son. He knew that Da Liang Zao was going to Xiongnu, so he insisted on coming with him!"

Wumuhu smiled and looked at Bai Yan, then looked at his son, Akan: "Many years ago, this kid wanted to become a soldier under Daliangzao when he grew up!"

"As a father, Wumuhu also asks Daliangzao not to refuse!"

Wumuhu looked at Bai Yan, bowed and asked.

The first time he met Bai Yan was when he and his wife learned that their son was leading the way for Bai Yan, who was still the city defender, and had accepted money from Bai Yan. In addition to being worried and frightened, he and his wife beat the child and took the child to apologize.

At that time, Wumuhu did not expect that when he met Bai Yan, Bai Yan not only did not blame the child, but praised the child instead.

And when he saw the child crying, Wumuhu finally realized that the city guard who comforted the child was different from everyone else.

Facts also prove it.

Not only in the battle with Gaonu, but also in the following years, even when he was in Shangjun and the Xiongnu territory, he heard the news of the great victory in the city defense battle again and again.

Lead troops to destroy three vassal states!

Strong Zhao, Later Wei, Defeat Chu! With each piece of news, when he finally learned that the city guard had become the Great Liangzao of Qin, unexpectedly, Wumuhu did not seem surprised in his heart.

Perhaps on the night when they first met, Wumuhu already understood and had a premonition that the city defender was extraordinary.

So when his son asked to come along, Wumuhu did not refuse.

"In the blink of an eye, it's grown so big!"

Bai Yan listened to Wumuhu's words, turned around and saw the young man's face flushed with excitement.

"I never asked your name before!"

Bai Yan looked at the young Hun and asked curiously.

"Ahkan! Da Liangzao can call me Akan! Akan is willing to risk his life for Da Liangzao all his life!"

The young man could no longer hold back the excitement that was suppressed in his heart when Bai Yan asked him. He stepped forward, knelt on one knee on the ground, and looked straight at Bai Yan, as if he was afraid that he would be rejected by Bai Yan.

Perhaps the boy also knew that this might be his only chance in his life.

"Do you know what this trip is for?"

Bai Yan did not answer in a hurry, but asked a question.

"Go fight the Xiongnu and Donghu tribes!"

Akan said.

Bai Yan shook his head and spoke softly amid the puzzled looks of Wumuhu and Akan.

"This trip is not to fight, but to massacre the tribe! Massacre all the people of the Xiongnu and Donghu tribes!"

When Bai Yan's words rang out, not only did Akan's expression instantly reveal shock, even Wumuhu, who was standing next to him, had his pupils shrink as Bai Yan spoke.

Kill the whole clan!

Qin Sui and Ji Heng, the two Iron Eagle Warriors' generals, also changed their expressions at this moment and looked at Bai Yan in astonishment. On the way here, they had never thought that Bai Yan would have the intention of massacring the entire clan.

"Daliangzao, slaughtering the tribe, this..."

Ji Heng swallowed his saliva. Even though he was a brave and elite Iron Eagle Warrior, and even though he had fought on the battlefield and killed enemies, at this moment, Ji Heng still couldn't control the uneasiness in his heart.

If killing one person is different from killing a hundred people, if killing a hundred people is different from killing a thousand people... then killing a tribe is completely different from killing people!

Even Ji Heng didn't dare to imagine whether he would incur the wrath of God and the resentment of the people if he really did such a thing as slaughtering the entire clan.

"The Xiongnu and the Donghu, these two tribes moved southward, slaughtered the people of the Central Plains, raped and plundered. It wasn't the beginning a thousand years ago, and it won't end a thousand years later!"

Bai Yan said this and looked at Ji Heng.

"If your wife and daughter are abducted, raped, cooked and killed by them, if your father and son are killed by them, their bodies are cut into pieces and trampled, if thousands of years pass, and your descendants repeat the same thing thousands of years later! Do you still have any concerns today?"

This rhetorical question was the best answer in Bai Yan's mind, and when answering this question, Bai Yan's voice was not at all restrained. Bai Yan was not only asking Ji Heng, but also the Iron Eagle soldiers behind him.

"In the early years, Bai Yan led the army in Yunzhong and commanded the soldiers to kill the Xiongnu. He once said, 'If you are hungry, you can eat Xiongnu meat; if you are thirsty, you can drink Xiongnu blood!'"

After Bai Yan finished speaking, he sighed and looked at Wumuhu and Akan.

"It's not that Bai Yan can't tolerate the Huns! It's that Bai Yan has seen it happen. When the Huns moved south, civilians were killed, and their wives and daughters were kept in captivity in the north. They were not worth being kept as livestock! Therefore, Bai Yan couldn't tolerate it. This is how it has been for the people for thousands of years in the future!"

After Bai Yan finished speaking, he signaled Wumuhu and Akan to return to Shangjun, where they would become Qin people in the future.

Seeing that the warhorse was well fed and satisfied, Bai Yan took the reins, immediately jumped on the horse, and looked at the group of cavalry soldiers.

"Bai Yan knows that the act of slaughtering the tribe is against the harmony of nature! However, if the Xiongnu can save tens of millions of people in the northern border by going south, Bai Yan will die without regrets! Bai Yan is willing to bear the infamy of slaughtering the tribe alone!"

When Bai Yan said this, he took out the general seal from his arms and held up his sword and the general seal.

"I hope all the soldiers will help Bai Yan!"

Bai Yan looked at all the Iron Eagle soldiers and shouted.

In today's world, divination and sacrifice are prevalent, and everyone's heart will be influenced by the heavens. Moreover, such a thing as slaughtering an entire clan has never been done before. Bai Yan does not blame Ji Heng, nor will he blame anyone else.

And now that Bai Yan said this, those who were hesitant would no longer hesitate, and those who were not hesitant would feel more confident.

"promise!"

"promise!!!"

Beside the swamp stream, upon hearing Bai Yan's words, the expressions of the mounted generals of the Iron Eagle Warriors instantly changed, and they all bowed in agreement.

Looking at Bai Yan, who was wearing cloth and holding a general's seal and a sword, and listening to Bai Yan's words just now, the heroism in them, almost every Iron Eagle soldier couldn't help but have an idea in his mind.

Man, this is how it should be!

The Iron Eagle soldiers were strong men who had gone through layers of selection. They had never lacked in courage and ability. Perhaps the only hesitation they had disappeared after hearing Bai Yan's words.

Kill the whole clan!

Bai Yan is the Great Minister of Qin State. He is younger than them, has a higher status than them, and is even the favorite of the king of Qin. Such a person dares to bear the infamy alone. What do these soldiers have to worry about?

What's more, these actions were committed by countless people in the northern border, and would affect the Central Plains for thousands of years.

"We all obey the orders of Daliang Zao!"

Qin Sui and Ji Heng also saluted Bai Yan at this time to show their loyalty. Ji Heng looked a little ashamed, and after raising his head, he looked at Bai Yan, and his eyes gradually became firm.

aside.

Wumuhu saw his eldest son's eyes, and looked at his eldest son's excitement, nervousness, and some hesitation. How could Wumuhu not know that his eldest son was worried about him as a father.

After all, his father was a Hun with Hun blood and was born in Hun territory.

Wumuhu was very pleased when he saw his eldest son hesitate to speak and finally fall silent. For Wumuhu, having such a sensible son in this life was enough for him.

It seemed that he was recalling the scene with his wife in Shangjun when he was down and out, and it seemed that he was recalling how sensible his son had been since he was a child.

"Da Liang Zao!"

Wumuhu finally made up his mind, turned around and looked at Bai Yan.

"My wife is from Qin. I was taken care of by the Qin people in Shangjun. In the future, I will be a Qin! My son has Qin blood! I also know the nature of the Xiongnu tribe. I don't blame Daliangzao! I hope Daliangzao will take my son and me with him on this trip! I will do my best to contribute!"

Wumuhu asked Bai Yan.

Wumuhu's words made Akan, who was originally a little dazed, and was about to lower his head, suddenly look at his father in a daze.

this moment.

Akan looked at his father's bearded face and the old look on his face. Tears welled up in his eyes. Perhaps only Akan could understand the feelings in his heart.

"No regrets?"

Bai Yan was a little surprised.

Looking at Wumuhu, Bai Yan was not worried that Wumuhu would betray him, but was concerned about Wumuhu's feelings. After all, this time when he went to the Xiongnu, he was really going to massacre the entire tribe, slaughtering all the Xiongnu people, young and old.

"No regrets!"

Wu Muhu nodded and assured Bai Yan.

..............................

On the northern grasslands.

In a huge tribe, countless tents, cattle and sheep filled every piece of land on the plain. From afar, the endless tents stretched to the horizon.

Accompanied by some foreign women wearing sheepskin and animal skin clothes, speaking a language different from that of the Central Plains people, during the conversation, hundreds of men from the tribe were seen outside the tribe riding horses, driving figures towards the tribe.

When the figures came closer, it became clear that the figures being driven away were all women from the Central Plains.

As the animal-skin woman pointed and shouted, more and more foreign women appeared in the tents to watch the fun. There were more and more people, including some foreign children.

"Whoa whoa!!!"

“Ooo ...

Children of various ethnic groups, ranging from thirteen or fourteen years old to five or six years old, came to the Central Plains woman one after another. Looking at the Central Plains woman with messy clothes and unkempt hair, these children's faces were filled with excitement and excitement.

"Ah! Let me go! Let me go!!! Save me, wuwuwu!! Save me!!!"

"Ahhh!!!"

Some slightly fair-skinned women were pulled by foreign children. As the women fell to the ground, several children in their early teens held them down and tore off their clothes. The women begged for mercy and cried.

However, this scene did not arouse sympathy from other foreigners. Instead, after hearing the woman's pleading voice, both the foreign women and the elderly foreigners smiled. Some foreign women and elderly people even pointed at each other and then taught the children how to do this and that.

The tacit approval of their elders and the laughter all around made all the other children search for 'prey' among the thousands of Central Plains women. Whenever they saw other Central Plains women passing by, they trembled in fear. The smile on every child's sallow foreign face never stopped.

In tents, sheep pens, and even wooden stakes, the cries of Central Plains women could be heard everywhere, and even the wails of being killed could be heard from time to time.

In the eyes of the foreign men on horseback, this scene was delightful. After all, all the things were spoils they brought back from their journey south.

Regardless of the laughter of children bullying the women from the Central Plains, or the scene of women gathering around wooden trailers, at this moment, all the men on horseback had expressions that revealed pride.

"That's the woman Gu He wants!"

While riding in the horse room, he saw a few elderly men in their sixties who were trying to grab the two Central Plains women with particularly fair skin and take them to the tent, so he reminded them softly.

When they heard that it was the woman that Gu He wanted, several elderly people from other ethnic groups immediately turned their eyes to other women from the Central Plains.

"Aman!"

A woman came over holding a baby. She looked at her sons, who were pulling the clothes off a Central Plains woman and her hair with other children. Then she turned her head and looked towards Diqian.

"Are you going south again when you come back this time?"

The woman was the wife of Di Xun. Although she was in her thirties or nearly forty, one could tell from her face that she was also a beauty in the Xiongnu tribe back then.

"Go for a while longer!"

When Di Di saw his wife, he got off the horse and took the baby from his wife's hands. He couldn't help but smile on his middle-aged face.

Although Diqi would vent his emotions on women from the Central Plains and even keep them in a sheepfold, compared to the status of his wife in his heart, those fair-skinned women from the Central Plains were far less important than a single hair.

"Has that General Zhongyuan been killed?"

There was some worry in the woman's eyes. Although she had been delivering good things and the sheepfold had been filled with the captured women, compared with the current situation, what the woman was more worried about was the man from the Central Plains who almost killed the Chanyu.

Although the woman had never been to Central Plains, she knew very well how powerful the Central Plains general was. Moreover, it was the first time in decades that she saw Di Kun sitting under the candlelight with a gloomy and worried look on his face, and he sat there for several nights.

Compared with the goods that were seized from the grassland, the woman was more worried about the accidents that might happen to the Huns after they moved south.

"not yet!"

Looking at his wife's worried eyes, he smiled.

"Don't worry. Even if we can't kill that Central Plains man this time, he can't do anything to us Xiongnu. Now Chanyu Touman has captured many Qin generals, including Gu He and Wu'er. He asked me to take the sword with me when I go south. Let those Qin generals die at the hands of that swordsman, or even that Central Plains man!"

Di Xun comforted him and told his wife to hide the two women that Gu He was looking at as soon as possible. If Gu He's wife knew about it, there would be trouble.

"Gu He has such a beautiful wife, and he loves her so much, but he has to cause trouble for himself!"

The woman shook her head, and seeing that her husband was busy again, she could only take the baby and reminded her husband to be careful when he went south.

A smile appeared on Diqi's face, and then he walked towards the tent of Touman Chanyu with his confidants.

A moment later, inside the tent.

Di Kui came to the wooden rack and looked at the Qin-style sword on it. When he raised his hand, he couldn't help feeling depressed in his heart. It was as if this sword had always been here, and the owner of this sword had been oppressing the hearts of the Huns for so many years, making it difficult for the Huns to breathe.

"Bai Yan!"

He unsheathed the sword and watched the sharp blade gradually come out of the sheath. He also looked at the two Qin characters on the sword. These were the few Qin characters that Diqi recognized.

"This time, I will use your Qin swords to kill your Qin people!"

As Di Kun spoke, his eyes were filled with gloom and his face looked a little somber. If possible, Di Kun really wanted to kill the owner of this sword with his own hands in Yanmen.

In the Hun territory.

Amid the miserable howling and the noise of cheers, Dikun's wife was driving two women from the Central Plains when she suddenly noticed that in the western sky, groups of birds were flying eastward. When they flew across the sky of the tribe, Dikun's wife could not help but frown slightly.

As a nomad for many years, Diqi's wife was very familiar with the flight of birds. So when she looked at the birds flying in the sky, she vaguely felt that those birds did not seem to be migrating eastward, but rather were frightened by the eagle and ran away.

"what happened?"

He frowned, but while he was thinking, the noisy sounds around him interrupted his thoughts. Thinking of Gu He's wife, Di Xun's wife could only take the two Central Plains women and hide them, and then secretly hand them over to Gu He when he came back.

Five miles west of the Xiongnu tribe.

Several Huns who were in charge of lookout and patrol were riding on their horses, discussing how to play with the women from the Central Plains when they return. They were wondering whether new women could be sent back when suddenly, a black shadow appeared on the distant hill, instantly surged over the hilltop, and then swarmed down like a black tide.

This scene stunned several Huns. When they came to their senses, their pupils widened and fear and terror instantly filled their eyes. Their cheeks, which were tanned yellow by the scorching sun, instantly turned pale.

"not good!!"

These Huns didn't know who the other party was, but as figures swarmed in from behind, they all knew that the other party was well prepared.

At this moment, several people looked at each other, thinking of the tribe five miles behind them, and their tribesmen, wives and children in the tribe.

Panic spread among the Huns. Without caring about anything else, they quickly fled in different directions.

"Run! Run back!"

Amid the shouts, several Huns kicked the horses under their crotch with all their strength, thinking that they must run back as quickly as possible to inform their tribesmen, so that they could run if they could and survive as many as possible.

The other two fled to the south, trying to find a way to get south and inform Touman Chanyu in the Central Plains.
