"Absurd! Absurd! Absurd!"

"Our country, Liao, is also a country of the human race. It is simply ridiculous that we have not been blessed by the luck of the human race!"

"Why would such a thing happen? Are you looking down on us Liao people?"

"What a shame! What a shame!"

Many people from the Liao Kingdom cursed loudly in Kongcheng and could not bear the humiliation of the Yun Kingdom, even though this bit of luck for the human race was insignificant to the Liao Kingdom.

"We, the Liao Kingdom, once funded the Yun Kingdom with 30 million taels of silver, but the Yun Kingdom didn't care about our fate as a human race. It's so shameless!" Some people from the Liao Kingdom shouted and cursed.

Immediately, some people from the Yun Kingdom retorted: "No! You, the Liao Kingdom, sent troops to seize the cities in the Western Region. If you, the Liao Kingdom's half-saints, hadn't used 30 million taels of silver to sue for peace, I, the Yun Kingdom's half-saint, would have gone to the Holy Court to argue with him."

, still want to share the luck of the human race? Are you worthy?"

"You are so presumptuous!" the Liao people became angry.

"It's you who is farting! Our two countries have severed diplomatic relations, and the luck of the human race earned by our Yun Kingdom will never be shared with your Liao Kingdom!"

"Hmph! Who cares about the luck earned by your Yun Kingdom? No matter how much luck your Yun Kingdom earns, it can't compare to the luck earned by our Liao Kingdom, you frogs in the well!"

The two groups of people quarreled, but it was just a matter of words but no one would do anything extreme.

"This is all the fault of the semi-saint family of our Liao Kingdom. If they had not proposed suggestions to the court and disrupted the Yun Kingdom's economic market, they would not have forced the Yun Kingdom to sever diplomatic relations with the Liao Kingdom. How could our Liao Kingdom not be able to share the spirit of the human race?"

Luck? This is not a question of how much, but a question of shame!"

"Well said! The scholars of the Ke family have simply disgraced the face of us Liao people. They lost again and again, making us unable to hold our heads high in front of the Yun people!"

"The Ke family is just a bunch of stupid pigs. It only hurts their own family's reputation. It also affects the entire Liao Kingdom from being able to share the fate of the human race. Bah!"

More and more people in Liao are targeting the Ke family.

…………

At the foot of Qiuyuan City.

Hu Chiyan and the many grassland people still maintained their posture of half-kneeling and bowing their heads. They all looked like they were letting King Yan surrender.

King Yan took out the imperial edict and handed it to Ye Jinghong who was standing next to him.

Ye Jinghong took the imperial edict respectfully, slowly opened it, and read aloud: "The grassland people listen to the edict."

The heads of the prairie people are lower.

"The Emperor of Heaven has carried out an edict: In the past, our country of Yun was friends with the grassland, and the wells and rivers were not disturbed. However, when our country of Yun was in danger, your grassland actually raised troops to invade our borders and kill the people of my country of Yun. This is a vain attempt.

He destroyed the Yun Kingdom and committed a heinous crime. Now King Yan leads his army to attack the grassland to defeat the tyrant and bring justice to our people of the Yun Kingdom."

When he said this, Hu Chiyan's face became even more sad and angry, and she also felt very regretful.

Ye Jinghong continued: "Prairie Khan Hu Chiyan was ambitious and broke off diplomatic relations with Yun State for his own selfish interests. This caused harm to the country and the people. He should be punished by Lingchi to thank the world."

"However, my country, Yun, is a country of etiquette. It follows the teachings of the sages, is based on benevolence and righteousness, and has the world in mind. I am thinking of calling Chi Yan to punish the sinners. I am issuing an edict to Zhaoan Grassland and amnesty for all the sins of the past."

"In the name of the Emperor of the Yun Kingdom, I renamed the grassland 'Yuanzhou' and made it one of the prefectures of the Yun Kingdom. From now on, the grassland people are the people of the Yun Kingdom and must abide by the laws of the Yun Kingdom. The grassland army will be disbanded immediately.

, distribute the silver and each return to his hometown."

"I conferred the title of 'former Duke of the Kingdom' to Hu Chiyan hereditary, rewarded fifty miles of fiefdom, and reduced the Huchi royal family to a noble family."

"I admire this."

After Ye Jinghong finished speaking, all the prairie people bowed down in unison.

"Long live my emperor, long live the emperor."

After Hu Chiyan saluted, he took the imperial edict from Ye Jinghong. Although he had saved the Huchi family, he was not happy at all.

Because Hu Chiyan knew in his heart that he was the one who ordered the war between the grassland and the Yun State. If he had not died, the Yun State would still deliberately target their family.

"Congratulations, Lord Yuan. From now on, we are our own people and we don't have to fight anymore."

The King of Yan bowed his hand to Hu Chiyan. Now that his status has been determined, he should treat Hu Chiyan with the courtesy of a duke.

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Hu Chiyan hurriedly returned the gift.

King Yan stepped forward and spoke loudly to the grassland people: "Everyone, from now on you are the people of Yuanzhou of Yun State. You can go home and live and work in peace and contentment. From now on, we, Yun State, will protect this land. You go home."

!"

"Go home! Go home!"

"We can go home!"

Many grassland people cheered. They were all soldiers recruited by Hu Chiyan to deal with the Yun Kingdom, and they were not willing to fight.

So for them, being able to go home safe and sound is the best thing.

Hu Chiyan's face was even more complicated. Only then did she realize that there were so many people in the grassland army who did not want to fight. How could they defeat the soldiers of the Yun Kingdom?

With a "plop", Hu Chiyan suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of King Yan.

"Father...ah no, father, you are..."

Hu Chikuo and others looked puzzled. After seeing Hu Chiyan kneeling, they had to kneel down again.

King Yan smiled coldly and said: "Prince Yuan, what kind of song are you singing? I can't bear such a big gift from you, so please get up quickly."

"Your Highness King Yan, I know that even if I am made a Duke, the Yun Kingdom will not let me go easily, so I want to die to apologize. I only ask that the Yun Kingdom can spare my Huchi family in the future and not kill them all." Huchi.

Yan said.

Hu Chikuo and others all changed their colors.

"Father, you can't do this, I don't want you to die."

"How could you sacrifice like this? It's not worth it!"

Hu Chiyan's face became angry: "Stop talking. If my father does not die today, our family will be wiped out by the Yun Kingdom in the future. Do you want the Huchi family to be removed from the Holy Forest Continent?"

"But..."

"No but, yes, I am indeed a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but I can't let the Huchi family die. It's all my own fault. Today I will die to apologize, and the Yun Kingdom will not make things difficult for you, Your Highness King Yan

, please do it." Hu Chiyan said very seriously.

King Yan looked at Hu Chiyan with burning eyes.

After a moment, King Yan nodded lightly, "Don't worry, I promise that the court will not cause trouble for the descendants of your Huchi family in the future, but I also want to remind you that if your Huchi family dares to rebel on the grassland,

The Yun State used mysterious cannons to destroy the Huchi family."

"I understand, thank you, His Highness King Yan."

After Hu Chiyan finished speaking, he pulled out a dagger from his waist and wiped it across his neck with all his strength.

With a "plop", Hu Chiyan fell to the ground.

Before he died, Hu Chiyan's face was full of regret.

"Father!"

"No!"

Hu Chikuo and others wailed and cried bitterly.

However, King Yan disagreed and said slowly: "Hu Chiyan will die to apologize. The dukedom of the original country will be inherited by his eldest son Hu Chikuo. You can bury your father well and then go to live in the fief!"

"Come, enter Qiuyuan City."

The Yun State army entered Qiuyuan City.

Next, the Yun Kingdom began to take over various towns on the Yuanzhou grassland.

The King of Yan assigned generals to garrison military camps in each city, designated the city as a mansion, and sent scholars to serve.

King Yan also ordered the slaughter of sheep and cattle, and held a grand celebration banquet to reward the three armies to celebrate this great victory.

The first day of October.

All the cities in Yuanzhou Grassland were controlled by the Yun Kingdom, and the grassland people returned to their old lives.

King Yan needs to govern Yuanzhou for a period of time, so he should seize the time to use the grassland war horses to train the Yun Kingdom's cavalry army.

Once the training of the cavalry army comes to fruition, the combat effectiveness of the Yun Kingdom army will be greatly enhanced.

But Du Ning and the artillery battalion cannot stay in the grassland forever, because the rebellion between the barbarians and the Huns has not yet been quelled, so he must return to the court in advance and return the military power of the artillery battalion to the Ministry of War, which will transfer the artillery battalion to other frontiers to fight.

Strong enemy.

After the battle with the grassland people, the artillery battalion soldiers became more and more proficient in using the mysterious cannon. Even without Du Ning's command, they could still stand alone.

Ye Jinghong also wanted to return to Suzhou and continue to manage his Suzhou Literary Academy, so he escorted Du Ning back to the capital and then back to Suzhou.

In addition to Du Ning bringing the artillery battalion back to Beijing, King Yan also sent an elite team to transport a large number of cattle and sheep, as well as many gold, silver, jewelry and wealth seized from the grassland palace, most of which were transported back to Beijing.

After conquering the grassland, the Yun Kingdom harvested not only cattle, sheep and war horses, but also a lot of gold and silver from the grassland palace.

Cattle and sheep can be used as food, gold, silver and jewelry can be sold into silver to replenish the national treasury, and can also be used as military pay.
