"Hey, it's Lao Chentou."
A soldier with sharp eyes recognized who it was at a glance. Everyone was in the same place, and we became familiar with each other not long after we came and went.
"Open the door quickly, General Yang is here."
"General Yang?" The soldier suddenly thought of something and immediately ran downstairs. After a while, the door slowly opened.
A rough man trotted out, came to Yang Gan, cupped his hands and said, "General Yang!"
"Are you Shi Yuanji?"
The rough guy Shi Yuanji said excitedly, "I didn't expect that General Yang would still remember me, a nobody. I'm really honored. We have been waiting for a long time."
"Hahahaha, by the way, where is that boy Mi Le?" Yang Gan asked Mi Le to compile all the data on the robbery. Why is this guy not here? What are you doing here today?
Shi Yuanji reported, "Deputy General Mi has gone to the camp, and the statistics of the looting of documents will be done by a humble official."
"Remember, this is not robbery, but revenge. We are not robbers and will not rob others without reason."
"Yes, I understand."
"Listen, let's talk." The two of them walked towards the inside and said as they walked.
"This time General Yang went on an expedition and destroyed a total of 18 tribes, beheading more than 20,000 people in total, and captured more than 50,000 Xiongnu people, including more than 19,000 men, more than 30,000 women, and more than a thousand children. Five hundred people died of injuries on the way, including the elderly. kill."
Yang Gan nodded. Now is not the time to be kind to women. The number of old men in the eighteen tribes is by no means a small number. What should they feed?
If they had any value, just in case, they would be beheaded directly. Not only could they be exchanged for military merit, but they could also save rations. It could be said that it killed two birds with one stone.
Don't look at Yang Qian's ruthlessness. These days, if a person is not ruthless, he will not be able to stand firm. Don't let the Holy Mother's heart overflow and his own people starve and be in trouble.
Seeing Yang Qian's satisfied smile, Shi Yuanji said energetically, "Rescue the Xia Kingdom's population of 6,800 people and more than 5,000 slaves from other tribes."
"More than 30,000 cattle, more than 100,000 war horses, and more than 50,000 sheep were seized."
"Seized 20,000 gold, 150,000 taels of silver, and 150,000 coins."
"Huh? Why is there so little money? There are eighteen tribes, including a large tribe with a population of 5,000 people."
Shi Yuanji smiled and said, "Sir, on the grasslands, herders usually barter with each other and rarely use money. Even after doing business in Yuntong, they used the money gained from selling goods to purchase salt, iron, tea, silk and other commodities." Bring back."
"Is the head of Guizhou in our country properly settled?"
"This~~~" Shi Yuanji looked confused.
Yang Gan squinted his eyes and hummed dissatisfied, "Say."
"Most of them have been escorted home by the army. A small number of people have had their homes in Zhuangzi or county towns wiped out, and their entire families have been slaughtered. They have no homes to return to."
Shi Yuanji was very helpless. When he saw so many Huns, if it weren't for the strict military discipline of the Xia army, he would have rushed to kill them.
"How many people are left and where are they settled at this time?"
"There are 1,800 homeless men and women left near the farm, who rely on the village's help to survive."
Yang Qian looked at Old Chen Qi and said, "There are so many homeless people, don't you accept them?"
Lao Chen said depressedly, "Master, it's not that I don't want to accept it. Many of these people are emotionally unstable. I'm afraid of causing trouble. Zhuangzi only has less than 900 people, but they have 1,800 people. If there is trouble, the little old man will not be able to live and eat." ah."
After Yang Qian heard about it, he immediately targeted the 1,800 people. Zhuangzi himself was short of people. If he could add 1,800 people, he would have more and more fields.
At this time, Shi Yuanji reported, "General Yang, I also have a problem here. I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
"Huh, tell me what you have to say!"
Shi Yuanji smiled coquettishly, "We currently have 2,000 troops stationed. The Huns are ferocious and violent and disobedient to discipline. The general feels a little stretched at this time. If these people run out, it will be a big sin."
Yang Gan was shocked. This was no small matter. Almost all the Huns were soldiers, and children as young as seven or eight could kill with knives.
He couldn't do anything, and if he really ran out, Yang Gan felt that his identity as the prince of Xia State, not to mention the general and county guard of Zhenbei, could not protect him.
"Take me to see the situation first~~~!"
"Okay~~~!"
After passing through several doors, we arrived at the mine. We saw that the entire mine was noisy. Some people were laughing and playing, some were beating each other, and some even grabbed women and executed them on the spot.
Yang Gan's face gradually darkened, and he angrily said to Shi Yuanji, "Is this how you execute what I wrote?"
Shi Yuanji was horrified: "General, general, there is really nothing we can do. As long as we give them less rations every day, they will cause trouble in the mines. Fortunately, our soldiers have crossbows."
"Otherwise, we have to be broken through by them. Now we can only watch from a distance, but we dare not get closer. If the Huns riot, we will be in danger of life and death."
"Damn, you coward~~~!"
Regardless of everyone's surprised looks, Yang Gan walked towards the Huns in front without fear of anything. Shi Yuanji didn't even think about pulling him back, and Krisna and Belika followed naturally.
At this time, the Huns over there noticed Yang Gan walking over. They immediately put down what they were doing and started walking towards him.
The mines here are divided into ten, each with 5,000 people. Five thousand people are already a large area. Not to mention ordinary people, even the most elite soldiers may not be able to stand still with their own strength. .
Zhang Yumeng looked around and was scared. After all, she was just an ordinary person. She was originally lively and talkative, but now she could only hide at the door while silently listening to the achievements that could refresh people's outlook on life.
She promised to guard the door and if anything happened, she would escape immediately and never cause trouble to Yang Qian.
Shi Yuanji waved his hand, and the soldiers on the city wall immediately raised their crossbows, loaded their strings, and aimed them at the Xiongnu crowd.
"Boy, are you from the Xia country? There are very few people in the Xia country who are so talented."
The leader, a one-eyed man, looked sarcastic, saying that he, who described himself as a prairie eagle, would be tied up by a two-legged sheep. This was a great shame for him.
Yang Qian put his right hand on the sword at his waist, his eyes were proud, and his expression was stern, "There is no shortage of people in the Xia Kingdom. If I can capture you, I won't be afraid of you being disobedient."
"Wow~~~~~!"
Suddenly everyone present was in an uproar, and the Huns surrounding Yang Gan actually trembled and backed away crazily.
"Ah~~~That's the masked demon."
"Oh my god, he's back."
"He is not a human being, he is not a human being..."
The one-eyed man's pupils shrank wildly, and he resisted the urge to retreat. His face instantly turned pale, but he still pretended to be calm: "You, what do you want."
"No, I want you to be obedient and mine well. Now you are no longer the eagles of the grassland, but I, the governor of Yuntong County, the prisoner of General Zhenbei. As a prisoner, you must have the consciousness of a prisoner."
The one-eyed man looked around, and suddenly he realized that there were five thousand people coming to him now. He was afraid that he would do something serious. Five thousand people would definitely win against him.
"I, I know you, but don't you know the current situation? There are more than five thousand of us, and you only have three people. Aren't you afraid of death?"
The one-eyed man tried his best to be fierce, but in Yang Qian's opinion, it was nothing more than a fierce look but a soft heart.
Yang Gan smiled, even lowered his hand on the hilt of the sword, crossed his hands on his chest, and walked up to the one-eyed man.
"You're right, I can't beat me, but I want to leave, and you can't stop me. We in the Xia Kingdom are orthodox in the Central Plains etiquette and like to ceremonial first and then attack. I'm here to inform you today."
His eyes gradually became colder, and when he looked around, almost everyone he saw lowered their heads. Being so vicious was no joke.
"After today, if you still don't obey, I will take your women and throw them to your enemies. I will take your children away and castrate them."
"I will also mix herbs used for livestock breeding into your meals. Even if you don't obey then, I can still record your ugly behavior."
"Let the entire grassland tribe know how despicable, obscene and ridiculous the Huns are."
"Hiss~~~ You, you are far more vicious than the wolves on the grassland." The one-eyed man covered his chest and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Yang Qian did not retreat but advanced. He took care of the leader first, and the rest was easy. "If I remember correctly, in the household registration, you have two wives and three children."
The one-eyed man's eyes were wandering and he nodded reluctantly.
Yang Gan smiled in a bewitching tone, "The person you just beat up must be from another tribe. Do you think that if I hand over your wife to him and give him a mine alone, will he treat me badly?" Thank you so much."
"Oh my God, how could someone be so vicious?"
"He is indeed a masked demon. Although he is not wearing armor, I can smell the vicious smell on his body."
As if struck by lightning, the one-eyed man slowly knelt down in front of Yang Gan and leaned on the ground. This showed that he was convinced, completely convinced.
Yang Gan suddenly shouted, "Do you accept it? If you don't accept it, I have plenty of means to punish you. I will let those who do not accept it try what life is worse than death. When the time comes, you may feel that death is the only solution."
"From today on, everyone will wear Central Plains clothes, speak Central Plains languages, and write Central Plains characters. They are not allowed to say anything related to the Xiongnu. Anyone who violates this will increase their daily workload and reduce their food rations."
"Work hard, and one day in the future you may be able to walk out of here and be a free man. Even if you can't get out, you have to think about your sons and daughters. They still have a great chance of getting out. The premise is~~~ you obey .”
"Ah~~~ You devil, more than a dozen members of my family died at your hands, even the elderly. I will fight with you!"
As he spoke, a woman with obvious red spots on her face rushed toward Yang Gan with a stone.
Yang Qian was amused, "Are you planning to exchange one for the other?"
He bent down and easily dodged the stone in her hand. When he stood up, he punched her temple with his right hand.
In an instant, the Hun woman's eyes were wide open and bloodshot, and her mouth was wide open, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't spit out a single word.
