"My lord, all four thousand slave soldiers have surrendered. The fleeing enemy troops have been wiped out and five thousand prisoners have been taken. Do you want to order an attack on the city?"

The battlefield was desolate, with occasional roars of wild beasts. All the enemy troops outside the city were wiped out, and the gates of the earthen city in front of them were closed tightly.

There were a large number of people holding bows standing on the city wall. It was obvious that most of them were old, weak, women and children. Jia Xu reported the battle situation to Liu Cang and made inquiries.

It was a surprise battle that could not be called a surprise attack. Liu Cang came with his troops, and they sent out troops as a matter of course. Unexpectedly, Liu Cang killed them as soon as he asked, without saying a word about the battle.

Hu Qiang hurriedly responded to the battle, knowing that King Dongping's army was coming with bad intentions, so the nobles in the city wanted to avoid it with their troops. Unfortunately...

The soldiers were elite and brave, and they were ready to crush the enemy. The battle lasted for less than half an hour, and Liu Cang's side easily won.

"Since you are stubbornly resisting, attack the city! The woman stays." Liu Cang looked up at the city wall, and Jia Xu responded. Cai Yan's face changed slightly as he insisted on accompanying the army this time.

"Your Highness, is this how you fight in the past?" After the military order was conveyed, Dian Wei marched his troops towards the city, marched heavily with shields raised, and rushed with his chariots to accompany him. Cai Yan asked Liu Yuan beside him in a low voice.

"Hey, miss, we used to let them kill themselves." Liu Yuan smiled strangely, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

[By the way, currently the best app for reading and listening to books, change the source app, .huanyuanapp install the latest version. 】

Cai Yan was silent, obviously feeling that the familiar people around him were very different from their usual behavior after the war. And the so-called keeping women probably meant that there was no need to keep anyone except women.

"Boom!" The suspension bridge has been lowered a long time ago, and the car rushes through the door. In this kind of earth city, Liu Cang would not even bother to lower the eagle.

"This city is handed over to my uncle. The slaves still need to be temporarily guarded and trained by my uncle. Do I still need to leave some soldiers for my uncle?" Ignoring the noisy shouts at the top of the city, Liu Cang asked Huangfu Song.

Huangfusong is getting older, and his body is not recovering so quickly. Liu Cang plans to sweep the Tengger Desert. It is a cold day, and Huangfusong must not be allowed to follow suit. Capturing this earth city will give Huangfusong the opportunity.

Sit here and guard the captive slaves.

"It doesn't matter. I have been operating in the north for many years, and it is no problem to gather more than ten thousand troops. As long as the food and salary are sufficient, even if someone comes from the Huns' tent, they will never get an advantage from me." Huangfu Song waved his hand proudly.

"Well, thank you uncle, slave soldiers with Han nationality can be repatriated. The captives are all slaves and will receive half of their rations. If they are massacred, it doesn't matter." Liu Cang nodded. Huangfu Song should be fine, but Huangfu Heng was following Huangfu Song.

He shuddered slightly with Huangfu Li.

The two were nephews of Huangfu Songzi. The only difference was that one was his biological son and the other was his son.

Moreover, Huangfu Song probably belongs to the type of father who is kinder to those who are not his biological children. This also leads to the fact that when Huangfu Song is present, among the two of them, Huangfu Heng usually has a lower eyebrow and is more calm.

Huangfu Heng had known Liu Cang for many years, and now he and Huangfu Song joined Liu Cang's army. However, Huangfu Li's ideas were more upright than Huangfu Heng's, and he followed Huangfu Song's side, but did not worship Liu Cang as his master.

"Your Highness, the Hu Qiang in the desert and the Xiongnu in Bingzhou are in the same spirit. Yu Fuluo also takes care of this place. Your Highness attacks this place this time. It will be troublesome if the Southern Huns make trouble again." Seeing that Liu Cang was about to attack the Hu Qiang here.

"Be cruel," Huangfu Li said hesitantly.

The Southern Xiongnu are not the only ones in the Tengger Desert, but they gather in larger numbers here.

The Xiongnu in Bingzhou could leave the Helan Mountains at any time, enter and ride in the desert, and retreat at the Han Pass to defend, which resulted in the Xiongnu's strength here being relatively strong.

The rations Liu Cang provided to these slaves were all cornmeal and dried sweet potatoes, without any meat or fishy food.

The so-called half ration means that the slaves only eat half full. Compared with nomadic slave driving, it is definitely not abuse.

However, if slaves are asked to do some strenuous labor, it will take a few months, and basically the slaves will not have the energy to think about other things.

"Oh? If we don't attack here, won't the Southern Huns make trouble? My uncle has been guarding the north for half his life. Don't tell me that you don't know who he is guarding." Liu Cang said to Huangfu Li.

"Your Highness, the Southern Xiongnu are a stubborn disease, and now Dong Zhuo's chaos in government and lawlessness is an emergency."

"Dong Zhuo is ruthless and has no relatives. Your Highness has such a powerful soldier, so he should raise an army to attack him. Show loyalty to the superiors, and eliminate the evil below. The whole world will follow him, and he should be able to rectify the Han Dynasty." Huangfu Li persuaded him seriously.

It's okay if they didn't take action before, but in the battle just now, the Tianshu camp, which Liu Cang defined as controlling slaves, was really impressive. They galloped and waved their swords, beheading horses and people, so fierce.

After seeing the combat power of Tianshu Camp with his own eyes, Huangfu Li looked at the Feixiong Camp led by Cai Yan. His mind was quick and his eyes were not very kind.

With such a strong army, supplemented by soldiers from the north, Huangfu Lijue's Liu Cang was able to beat Dong Zhuo out, but at this time, he had the idea of ​​​​letting Liu Cang attack Dong.

"..." Liu Cang was silent and ignored Huangfu Li. Instead, he looked at Huangfu Song with strange eyes: We have just assembled 20,000 troops at the end of the war. Is this kid okay?

"Ahem, Dong Zhuo was ordered to commit the crime. If there was no emperor's order, he would be responsible for his execution. There are so many things involved, how can it be as simple as you just saying that the world will follow him." Huangfu Song coughed dryly, but said to Huangfu Li with a blank expression.

"But..." Huangfu Li retorted deliberately, but Liu Cang waved his hand to interrupt.

"Can't you speak clearly?" Liu Cang complained to Huangfu Song first, and then looked at Huangfu Li.

"There's nothing good to do. Before Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, the Yuan family in Runan had already falsely preached the edict and blocked the palace gate to kill everyone. Without a plan, would Yuan Wei be crazy or stupid to dare to do that?"

"Without Dong Zhuo, the Yuan family still has the exclusive power. The Yuan family has joined forces with the powerful nobles in the north. Unfortunately, there is no general Huangfu like you."

"Dong Zhuo is only capable of killing a common man. Any fight is just a battle on the battlefield. But after killing Dong Zhuo, why not fight with those powerful nobles?"

"Just saying 'Take Dong as an example' can completely remove the military power from your family. Are you afraid that you feel uncomfortable seeing that your father still has some good reputation left, and you want to give him another chance to survive?"

When Liu Cang curled his lips and said that, Huangfu Li was slightly surprised.

"Look, it doesn't make it so clear." Liu Cang turned his face and said to Huangfu Song.

"Yes, yes, you are elegant and elegant." Liu Cang also shook his head, Huangfu Song raised his eyebrows, and Huangfu Heng snickered.

"Roar!" Dian Wei roared in filial piety. Wherever the sound came from, the strong energy created a shadow several feet tall, with a human shape and an evil appearance, and his two halberds danced wildly, as if a fierce god had descended into the world.

"Boom! Boom! Boom~!" The city tower collapsed, and the giant iron-clad gate fell to the ground with a roar.

"Boom!" When the giant shadow dissipated, only a Tianxuan camp soldier was seen pushing away the people around him. The ram that had been pushed by many people was demolished by the soldier. He single-handedly carried the giant tree and crashed into the city gate.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" There was another roar, the outer door shattered, and the gate became loose.

From the direction of Tucheng, Tianxuan soldiers laughed and cursed, and in the blink of an eye, another soldier took the cone wood and charged at him.

The soldiers of Tianxuan camp were in high morale, and when the city gate collapsed, Dian Wei led his army into the city.

"Hiss~~" Huangfu Li took a breath, Ma De, he still wants to beat Dong Zhuo. If Liu Cang can't go, he can just hold General Dian.

"Jun Manduan is the reincarnation of the evil god." Huangfu Song sighed.

"Haha, if my uncle is willing to give up his two brothers to Gu, what if Gu will train them like this in less than five years?" Liu Cang laughed, and Huangfu Song raised his eyebrows.

"My lord~~ I have a lot of talent~~ Heng is the deputy general of General Wenqu. He should put military and government affairs first." Seeing that Huangfu Song seemed to be interested, Huangfu Heng shouted anxiously.

"Haha, don't delay. Let's get more people together later." Liu Cang said with a smile, Huangfu Song stroked his beard without saying a word, presumably he was acquiescing, Huangfu Li seemed to be looking forward to it, and Huangfu Heng looked ashen.

A few people chatted, the earthen city was destroyed, the army entered the city, and the killing began suddenly.

Those with weapons will be killed, the old and the weak will be killed, the young and strong will be stripped of their armor and made into slaves, and women under thirty years old will also be made slaves.

The massacre of the city made the recruits somewhat uncomfortable, but each battalion had veterans serving as generals, and each battalion had a military spirit. After a few more battles, those who should adapt would get used to it.

The army entered the city, cleared the city's property, surrendered soldiers as slaves, and repaired the city's defenses.

Tianquan, the auxiliary army led by Jia Xu, also had craftsmen and blacksmiths. The soldiers maintained their own weapons and weapons, and the craftsmen and blacksmiths also worked hard to make city defense equipment just like training troops.

The young slaves were trained for forced labor, and the female slaves were moved back to Changshengling to work as livestock feeders. The young and kind ones were selected as rewards for military merit. The rest who did not enter the brothel were all the wives that the young slaves were expected to marry.

Liu Maode led the Yuheng camp to inspect military discipline. The left officer of the Tianquan camp calculated the military merits and profits.

Huangfu Song recruited more than ten thousand elite soldiers from the north to garrison Tucheng and established the city in Moxi.

Liu Cang simply named this area between the Xianbei Grassland and the Han border the Tengger Desert.

This area was thousands of miles from north to south and nearly 700 miles from east to west. Liu Cang's army was divided into three groups, intending to wipe out the nomads within ten days.

It was estimated in the early days that the population here was about 200,000. Before the Hulao raids started, Liu Cang initially set the goal of capturing 50,000 slaves.

The Xianbei won't come here to wander around in winter, but the Southern Huns on the other side of Bingzhou need to be careful.

Liu Cang was very ambitious, and he was not afraid of the Southern Huns causing unrest in Bingzhou. It was not that he was determined to defeat the Southern Huns, but that he knew that the Southern Huns would cause trouble sooner or later anyway.

Some people may think that the Southern Xiongnu have returned to Han for many years and seem to have accepted Chineseization, so they should do more mediation and so on.

But among the five barbarians, the southern Xiongnu actually occupied the second place.

Not only are they one of the Five Barbarians, they also breed another tribe among the Five Barbarians.

The cannibals!

That clan of evil beasts was composed of slaves and slave soldiers from the Southern Xiongnu.

It’s superfluous. You don’t need to say it anymore, right?

Instead of waiting for them to come out after the Han Dynasty had been conquered for 180 years, Liu Cang wanted to see if they still had the ability to come up with those "two-legged sheep set meals" if they started to cause trouble now.

Wuhu, come and kill the Han people, haha...
