On the vast grassland belonging to the Chuyue people, there is a green river originating from Jinshan Mountain. The rising sun makes the river surface sparkle, and there are dense tents scattered along the smoky riverside.
Before Chu Yuetu set off for the expedition, he was worried that the Western Turks and Xue Yantuo would seize the opportunity to occupy their small tribes if the war to the south went south. Therefore, he not only issued an order for the young men to assemble, but also ordered the large and small tribes to gather here, leaving three thousand people behind. Warriors protect them.
Since ancient times, what has limited the growth of the grassland population is not food and constant wars, but ruthless nature. Every year in the cold winter, a large number of elderly people, children and livestock freeze to death, and those who are cruelly eliminated by nature are all They have strong energy and unyielding nature, but because of this, they have a wolf-like aggressiveness; in their eyes, the law of the jungle is a natural thing, war is no different from eating, sleeping and playing with women, killing others or being killed is natural. Death is no different.
"Khan has recently frequently recruited warriors from various ministries and gathered brothers from all ethnic groups here. Is he preparing to fight a big war with the Turks?" The herdsmen who got up early started a new day and talked about recent events.
The companion drove the sheep out of the sheepfold nonchalantly and said casually: "I heard that they went to the south, maybe to fight Yiwu, right?"
"It should have been like this a long time ago. It's all those damn iron slaves' fault."
At this moment, the thunderous sound of horse hooves came from the distance. Everyone thought it was a patrol of clan-protecting warriors, so they didn't pay too much attention and continued to chat and laugh.
However, the killing happened in the midst of relaxed chat. A blood flower bloomed from the neck of a companion, and a flying cold arrow passed through the neck of the companion in the stunned eyes of the herdsmen. The neck was pierced with powerful penetration.
"Hoo~ho~" The herdsman who was hit by the arrow wanted to warn his companions, but his throat felt like he was leaking air. Apart from the sound of "hoho", it was difficult to make any other sound.
The herdsmen who reacted roared loudly, pulled out the swords from their waists, and prepared to fight. However, before they could react, arrows shot from the sky and shot them to the ground.
It was only then that the charging army gradually became clear in the smoke, and these soldiers wearing black armor were seen riding two horses, one by one, heading straight towards the Chuyue tribe like a black torrent. However, their charge could only end here, because more and more frightened cattle and sheep blocked their way.
Yang Ji, who was rushing at the front, took out the horn on his saddle and blew it hard. The rolling Sui army's cavalry slowed down, split into two, avoided the serious cattle and sheep, and charged into the camp from both sides. .
When the two armies came together again, the first half of the camp was in a mess, and countless herder corpses were trampled into the ground by horse hooves.
Chu Yueduo, the burly old clan chief, had already focused on the warriors who were protecting the clan. He ignored the scattered cattle and sheep, but gathered the surviving population, and looked angrily at the Sui waving in the wind. Although he does not know Chinese characters for the battle flag, the military flags on the grassland are all white, with at most a wolf embroidered on them. However, this battle flag, which is black and red and embroidered with gold characters, is a dynasty of the Central Plains that has existed since the Qin and Han Dynasties. unique mark.
"General Sui Dynasty opposite, why did he hurt my people?" Chu Yueduo, a gray-bearded man, rode out and asked Yang Ji loudly in Turkic language.
"Your Highness, what is this old man talking about?" Counselor Su Dan looked tired. Although he was also a scholar who regarded himself as a warrior, it was still a bit overwhelming for him to travel a long distance for the first time.
"The look on his face told me he was cursing."
Under Su Dan's stunned eyes, Yang Ji took out the crossbow hanging on the horse's back. Without waiting for the person opposite to react at all, a crossbow arrow shot out of the air, tearing through the space barrier in an instant. In the stunned and angry gaze of the Yue Lao clan leader, there was a 'pop' sound that penetrated his neck, and he fell off the horse.
Seeing that the old patriarch was shot to death by an arrow from the invading enemy, the angry Chuyue people charged towards them.
"Kill!" Following Yang Ji's command, arrows soared into the sky like locusts. In just an instant, four to five hundred Chuyue warriors wearing only leather armor turned into corpses on the ground.
Su Dan swallowed his saliva. Although he was also a military general and had followed Yang Ji to annihilate several tribes of several thousand people in the past few days, the cruel scene in front of him still impacted his outlook on life.
"Except for women and girls, all young and old will be killed!" Yang Ji put down his crossbow and gave a chilling order in a calm voice.
Regarding Yang Ji's request for "robbery", Yang Jian said that the ethnic groups in the north and west of the Sui Dynasty had all invaded the Sui border under the leadership of the Turks. They were all enemies anyway. Yang Ji could rob anyone he wanted, but in the end It was better not to provoke the Eastern and Western Turks. He was worried that Yang Ji would become the tragic Li Ling before it was too late to send reinforcements.
It is also said that Chang Sun Sheng has gone north and is planning an action against Bujia Khan. As long as Bujia Khan falls, the distinction between East and West Turks will be officially established, and the East and West Turks will fall into greater chaos. At that time, as long as the Sui Dynasty supported the pro-Sui forces, they would continue to fight.
However, in Yang Ji's view, these are not enough. Qimin Khan, who was still Tuli Khan at that time, was jointly killed by Dulan Khan and Bujia Khan. There were only a few hundred people left in the entire tribe. In the Sui Dynasty, At that time, seeing that his power was weak and easier to exploit, Chang Sun Sheng planned to take Tuli Khan to Daxing to surrender. After entering the fortress and surrendering to the Sui Dynasty, he was named Yili Zhendou Qimin Khan by Yang Jian and settled in Shuozhou. Because Du Lan was aggressive, he moved to the area between Xia and Sheng states. However, in these years, during each Sui expedition, the plundered Turks were handed over to Qimin Khan for management, turning him into a large tribe with a population of 300,000 to 400,000 people in just a few years. It is still far inferior to Bujia Khan who represents the orthodoxy of the Turkic Khanate, but if he is allowed to grow uncontrollably, sooner or later he will be a big threat again.
These alien races use wolves as their totems and admire the aggressive wolf nature. Expecting them to be grateful will often lead to disastrous results.
Therefore, Yang Ji believed that when dealing with these people, they must be killed, and they must be killed ruthlessly. Only by killing them until they are frightened and until they kneel when they hear the word "Sui" will they become as obedient as sheep.
He currently has few soldiers and does not have the ability to command an army of 100,000 to fight. He is unable to deal with the Eastern and Western Turks. However, Chuyueren is small and has violated the Sui border, so he can train his troops and skills. Not only can he take revenge, but he can also The threat lurking in the northwest was wiped out between the teeth.
"Kill, kill, kill!" As the order was issued, the Sui Army and Yizhou Army behind them rushed like wolves and tigers towards the few warriors in Chu Yue's tribe.
Yang Ji didn't go to kill, nor did Li Jing, Li Daliang, or Song Zhengben. Su Dan bit his lip and stared at Yang Ji, and said in confusion and anger: "Your Highness, this seems a bit excessive, right?"
He then said: "Your Highness, I believe that fighting is a matter for men, adult men, and has nothing to do with young and old. This kind of killing seems to be a little, a little inhumane."
"Your Highness is right, because this is not an internal war between brothers, but a national war without any mercy." Li Jing traveled in the northern part of the Sui Dynasty for two or three years and saw villages that were brutally poisoned by the Turks. There are countless people. It was precisely because he saw and heard too many tragedies of the people on the border that he decided to abandon his writing and join the army, and showed his best military theory in front of Yang Su, in order to gain the respect of Yang Su, the military god. , access to asylum borders.
Deep down in his heart, he did not reject Yang Ji's order at all. Instead, he felt that this was the most reasonable and correct way to treat foreigners.
Yang Ji glanced at Su Dan, who had an ugly expression, and said calmly: "If you have the chance, you'd better go to Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Bingzhou, and the northern part of Youzhou, and wait until you see everyone who has been poisoned by the aliens and has not yet recovered their vitality. villages and towns, you may understand my actions today."
"Su Canjun, you grew up in the bustling city of Daxing. If you don't go to the border for a walk, you will never understand the people on the border, and you will never understand that the people on the border are suffering from the abuse of aliens." Song Zhengben, who was next to him, sighed and asked Su You said: "My hometown, Tanzhou, was almost killed by the Turks' servants and the Xi tribe. In the end, only more than 5,000 households in one state fled to Youzhou. Think about it for yourself, one state was killed There will be only a few thousand households left."
"Does the alien race have no humanity, so we have to become inhumane too?" Su Dan's tone became a little weak when he saw that everyone was ignoring the killings on the battlefield, but the invisible suppression made him almost go crazy, and he did not dare to tell Yang Ji Roaring, but facing Li Jing, Song Zhengben and others, he said these words in a roaring way.
"The beliefs of the foreign races are different from ours. We advocate kindness to others, benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom, and trust, but what they advocate is the way of killing. Our benevolence and righteousness are weak and incompetent in their eyes. Once they recover, they will point the butcher knife at it without hesitation. Central Plains, so as long as there is a chance, we cannot give them a chance to rise..." Yang Ji glanced at Su Dan, who was blushing and thick-necked, and said lightly: "If you can't distinguish between a civil war like a brotherly fight, a race and a race. During the war between the two countries, you also adhere to the stupid concept of treating foreigners equally, then go back to where you came from."
"Awaiting inspection, let's rest here for a day and then decide on the next target." Yang Ji got off the horse, turned to look at everyone and gave instructions.
"I humbly obey my orders!"
"I humbly obey my orders!"
