The Rakshasa army continued to march eastward after plundering east of Lake Balkhash.
Naturally, smoke was constantly lit along the way.
More and more people were withdrawn during the Great Ming Dynasty, and they all had to hide in the castle.
Because Zhou Yuji wanted to deliberately create a sign that the army was retreating in a hurry, he did not strengthen the wall and clear the country.
During their march, these Rakshasa armies forced the herdsmen they captured to harvest food from the farming areas along the way.
The soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty who were hiding in various castles were naturally very sad to see the food they had worked so hard to cultivate being harvested by the Rakshasa Kingdom.
"Since the Protectorate has sent food subsidies to you, don't feel bad about the food! They took away our food today, and we will take it back in the future! Our powerful imperial army will give these robbers from the West A painful lesson!"
"They are a group of jackals from the west! We must be patient and let these jackals forget caution and caution, and then wait for the reinforcements of His Majesty the Ming Emperor to arrive, so that we can completely eliminate these jackals!"
"Have you seen the people who were forced to walk in front by these bandits? They are the indigenous people from the eastern part of Lake Balkhash. They lost their homes because they did not obey the unified command, and now they are forced to come and bury us. Landmines, if you want not to lose your home and not become cannon fodder like them, you must obey the arrangements of our government! Work together to eliminate them!"
The training officer in the castle closest to the Rakshasa soldiers shouted loudly to his field officers and soldiers and their relatives.
Because he shouted this, the soldiers and civilians in the castle understood the reason why they were asked to do this, and they all actively cooperated and shouted: "Destroy them! Destroy them!"
After these instructors preached, the soldiers and civilians looked at the Rakshasa soldiers outside with more hatred.
Everyone seemed to be accumulating anger and blood, just waiting for an order from above to rush out to fight.
"Report! Rakshasa soldiers have appeared in the Bran area! They annihilated the local tribes and obtained a large amount of livestock and food!"
"Explore again!"
"Report! Rakshasa soldiers have appeared in Du Laiti. They have driven 50,000 to 60,000 herdsmen forward to consume our landmines!"
"Explore again!"
"Report! The Rakshasa soldiers have camped in the Brento Sea. We have been observing them for nearly half a month, but they are not moving forward. We only sent a large number of sentries to the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains."
Anxi Protectorate.
After hearing the latest report from his subordinate Ye Bu, Zhou Yuji frowned: "Why don't you leave all of a sudden?"
"Is it possible that the delay in seeing my army appear has made Alezolo suspicious?"
Zhu Cizhuo asked Zhou Yuji at this time.
Wu Ya glanced at Zhu Cizhuo with admiration, and nodded after a brief analysis.
"It's possible!"
Zhou Yuji nodded and said: "Although this general of the Rakshasa Kingdom is arrogant, he is not blindly aggressive. He is very cautious in using his troops. After informing him, he changed his old strategy of luring the enemy deep into the country and ordered all ministries to harvest grain and implement it. A strategy to strengthen the walls and clear the country! All the troops of the Anxi Protectorate are dispatched, flying the general's flag and making a decisive battle gesture!"
"The cavalry units of your Western Expeditionary Army no longer need to harass the military stations along the way. They should all be sent out to detect the whereabouts of the Rakshasa soldiers. If they encounter lone or small groups of Rakshasa cavalry, they will be annihilated!"
Zhou Yuji then gave instructions to Zhu Cican and other generals from the Anxi Protectorate.
"yes!"
These days, Zhu Cican has accumulated a lot of command experience by leading the cavalry battalion to attack various military stations. Now he is naturally more relaxed when participating in battles.
"Break it into pieces and set up sentries along the Irtysh River Basin to make the Rakshasa Kingdom mistakenly think that our army is waiting for a decisive battle ahead!"
After Zhu Cican gave orders to the various headquarters of the cavalry battalion, he said to Wu Ya: "Your troops should come with me."
"Um."
Wuya nodded.
So, Zhu Cican took Wu Ya and his team towards the Brento Sea.
On the way, Zhu Cican said to Wu Ya: "How about you tell me to learn Turgut language?"
Wu Ya glanced at Zhu Cican. She didn't understand why Zhu Cican suddenly mentioned this.
"I don't ask you to teach for nothing. I will teach you arithmetic, history, political theory, teach you how to understand the "Hadith", and help you enter the martial arts hall! You will become a real female general in the future."
Zhu Cican said.
Wu Ya didn't understand why Zhu Cican made this deal, so she asked, "Why did Your Highness do this?"
"Of course I like you! I want you to be my woman!"
Zhu Cican replied.
Wu Ya blushed and looked sulky.
If Zhu Cican hadn't been the prince, she would have warned Zhou Yuji long ago and threatened to file a complaint against Zhou Yuji.
Seeing this, Zhu Cican hurriedly said: "Of course, there are other reasons. Your Majesty has long admitted that the Ming Dynasty is not a Han people. All people in the Chinese land are descendants of the Chinese, and you Turhut people are no exception! And as far as I know, Your tribe has been migrating westward on a large scale since the second year of the Apocalypse. The people we met last time when we visited the Ural Mountains must be your tribe. Unexpectedly, they have migrated to the Volga River area east of the Ural Mountains!"
Zhu Cican said and added: "Presumably, this is why you didn't stop me from continuing to survey the geography to the west."
"You also want to meet your tribesmen who moved westward! Don't you?"
Zhu Cican asked next.
Wu Ya was struck by what he said, she pursed her lips and raised her eyebrows and glanced at Zhu Cican: "What does this have to do with Your Highness learning the Turgut language?"
"As a son-in-law of the Torghut tribe, shouldn't I learn the Torghut language?"
Zhu Cican started teasing again.
Wuya's anger was once again aroused, and she couldn't help but whip her whip and said: "You!"
Zhu Cican suddenly smiled and said, "Your Highness was just joking!"
As he spoke, Zhu Cican looked at Wu Ya seriously: "Don't you want your people to return to their hometown, join the Ming Dynasty, and become Chinese people?"
"I!"
When Wu Ya heard what Zhu Cican said, her anger immediately disappeared, leaving only her hope that her people could join the Ming Dynasty. She also withdrew her whip: "The general was impulsive just now!"
Therefore, Wu Ya then took the initiative to ask: "Your Highness, is there any way to make them join the Ming Dynasty?"
Zhu Cican shook his head: "There is no way."
Wuya was quite disappointed.
Zhu Cican continued: "But they will definitely want to return eastward. There is no other reason. The Rakshasa Kingdom's eastward expedition to our Ming Dynasty naturally wants to recruit you Turgut people, and next, the Rakshasa Kingdom The war will definitely be defeated. After the defeat, the Torhut people will inevitably be recruited on a larger scale for military use, and the exploitation of the Torhut people will also be increased! If the Torhut people want to avoid being exterminated, they have no choice but to return eastward. , become a part of the Ming Dynasty like you Turgut people who have not moved away, this will also prevent you from killing each other in the future."
Wu Ya did not expect that His Highness the Fifth Prince was already thinking about things after the war.
She thought Zhu Cican was only thinking about teasing her.
Therefore, now she couldn't help but look at Zhu Cican with admiration, and said resentfully: "But, how can we make them join the Ming Dynasty?"
"Lean on me!"
"You teach me the Turgut language, and I will think of a way to get them to join the Ming Dynasty. I am the prince of the Ming Dynasty, so I should be able to persuade them to ask to join the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Cican replied.
