"Do you know why I must completely clean up the entire grassland and take away the homes of these herdsmen?" Three days after the battle to annihilate the Liu Bao tribe, Gao Yang, dressed in a hunting suit, rode his horse casually on the green grassland. Looking at the long blue sky, he asked softly. "It's so you don't have to worry about anything during the Western Expedition, right?" the voice of the origin sounded. "Even with your strength here now, you will be worried about a two-front battle, right? Concentrate your efforts on clearing the closer northern grasslands and overseas islands first. After cleaning up the surrounding area, you can devote yourself wholeheartedly to the journey of conquering the World Island, right?" A faint smile appeared on the corner of Gao Yang's mouth, and he shook his head slightly as he looked at the dazzlingly pure blue sky and white clouds. "You're only half right." "Oh?" Yuan Dian asked in confusion, "What else?" "Revenge." Gao Yang said lightly a thing that has never disappeared since human beings had civilization. "Revenge?" There was a hint of weirdness in Yuan Dian's voice. "You are an intelligent AI, too rational. You cannot understand and appreciate such pure emotions." Gao Yang waved his hand to the large number of elite cavalry following him not to follow. While riding the horse alone, he said with a smile, "Humans are emotional animals, and emotions are often stronger than reason. You have checked a lot of information in modern time and space. Needless to say, you should also know the Chinese nation and these The grudges of the nomads." "I know this." Yuan Dian said softly, "It is not an exaggeration to say that no matter which side is strong, it will bring immense pain to the other side." "That's because. As an outsider, you have no position or camp!" Gao Yang's face condensed and he emphasized his tone slightly. He picked up a strong bow from the horse's back with his backhand, and pushed the horse with his legs to chase a rabbit that was escaping quickly in the distance. "I am a Chinese, born in this land, and born to be a member of the Chinese camp. Now that I have the power in my hands, it is only natural to seek justice and suppress the enemy!" As soon as Gao Yang finished speaking, his hand was pulled into a half-moon strong hand. As soon as the bow was released, a long fine steel arrow penetrated the gray rabbit in the distance with a whistling sound and lightning speed! And it flew with it! "Okay!!!" The large number of Han cavalrymen behind them cheered loudly. Not just because Gao Yang is the coach. What's more important is that this arrow shot really domineeringly! It¡¯s not difficult to shoot a rabbit running at high speed in the dense grass. What¡¯s difficult is that it¡¯s so powerful! Gao Yang took back his bow and arrow and whispered expressionlessly, "Human civilization has been in tens of thousands of years, and both the East and the West have learned the lesson of blood debt. This is a matter of course." "I really don't understand the thoughts of intelligent creatures like you. " Yuan Dian sighed. "Haha." Gao Yang turned his horse around and walked towards the distant camp. He chuckled and said, "As an intelligent life, you will never understand." Hundreds of elite cavalry escorted Gao Yang slowly towards the distant camp. Go in the direction. Along the way, there were two rows of tall wooden poles erected on this grassland with rich water and grass. Hanging on every wooden pole is a corpse fluttering in the wind! These are the captured nobles of the Xiongnu clan. Including those Huns nobles who followed Liu Bao to break through the blockade and fled north in embarrassment. ¡®†`~¡¯ Gao Yang reined in his horse and paused. With an expressionless expression, he slightly raised his head and looked at a wooden pole not far away that was obviously thicker and taller than the other wooden poles. Hanging above it was an unusually tall man with a bald head and braided hair. This is Liu Bao! "Humph." Watching this butcher who had left a great reputation in history books and whose hands were stained with Han blood was hung on a wooden pole to dry. Gao Yang sneered and said, "I told you to run. No matter how fast you run, can you still run faster than a plane?" Liu Bao failed to escape the pursuit of the Han army in the end. With great luck, he succeeded in breaking through the Han army's defense on the Beichun River down the river, and then boarded the north bank after nightfall. He fled north with a small number of followers, trying to join the Xianbei people in the distance. Although the Xianbei people have been nothing more than horse herding slaves under the Huns for hundreds of years, their status is so low that they have no status at all. But at this time, the Xianbei people had already risen rapidly on the grassland, completely absorbing the legacy left by the Huns, and became a new generation of overlords on the grassland! In order to survive, Liu Bao can let him be a slave to the Xianbei people, let alone his former slaves! To be able to live. He is willing to do anything. If he hadn't known that the Han people would not accept his surrender, Liu Bao would have knelt down long ago. People like him are the most afraid of death. But Liu Bao¡¯s good luck ran out after landing. What Liu Bao doesn¡¯t know is that no matter what?Whether it's night or day, there is always an artifact that is no less than an innate magic weapon in this era, 10,000 meters above his head, staring at him with glaring eyes. And has been sending the specific location to the biochemical warriors chasing him. It only took one day for the powerful pursuers to catch up with the homeless dog, each of whom had only one horse. Liu Bao and others were surrounded in despair. Immediately after a small-scale brutal fight, most of the Huns were killed on the spot. Liu Bao and a dozen of the last Xiongnu nobles were captured and sent to the camp in Gaoyang. Gao Yang was not even interested in meeting these fat and stupid Huns nobles. He directly ordered them all to be hung on wooden poles as a warning to others. Gao Yang curled his lips as he looked at the scratched and chewed marks on the thick wooden poles. Gao Yang did not build these wooden poles to prepare food for the wild wolves on the grassland. He wanted to use this method to declare the Han army's dominance over the grassland! The grassland is too big. The herders were spread too widely. Gao Yang couldn't use a reconnaissance plane to scan the entire grassland. After the army leaves, there will inevitably be a small number of herdsmen who continue to live on the grasslands. Gao Yang left these behind just to scare them! "Go back to camp and rest for two more days. The army will go north to conquer Xianbei!" Gao Yang raised his chin slightly, tugged on the reins, and rode out first. The sudden attack of the Han army caught the Huns by surprise. Not only did they fail to quickly assemble a resistance army, they also did not have time to use the dead cows and dead horses to pollute the water sources that they had used against the Han army in the past. After a series of sweeps and battles, the majority of the Huns on the grassland had been wiped out. Most of the other scattered herdsmen were killed and captured by the Han army's cavalry. The Huns as a race, excluding the Northern Huns who migrated westward, have disappeared. Except for a very small number of Huns who were not caught or were lucky enough to escape from the control of the Han army. The fate of the tens of thousands of Huns who were captured and still alive by the Han army was not much better. A small number of men will be sent back to Han Dynasty. The expanding mines everywhere are in urgent need of manpower, and these workers, who don't have to worry about the casualty rate, are the favorite cannon fodder labor force of all mines. As for women. Except for a few who were selected by the Han army as concubines. The rest became the female camp in the army. At least that was their fate until the end of this northern expedition. As for how to deal with it in the future, people can do it, and Gao Yang doesn't need to worry about it. Collect and count the spoils of war, tally military merits, treat the wounded, and transport the fallen soldiers back to Han Dynasty for burial. These days of rest have been very busy for the scribes and commanders in the army. After the war, the soldiers who escaped from the thin line between life and death need to relax and vent. In addition to a large amount of drinks, the women's camp on the north side of the camp has people coming in and out from morning to night, and business is very good. "Compared to those nomads who ate women alive after humiliating them, the Han army can definitely be regarded as a benevolent and righteous army with strict military discipline. Gao Yang can understand all this. He has experienced too much blood and fire over the years. Is there anything else that he cannot see through? Whether it was in this camp or when the cavalry were sweeping the grasslands, they did something. Gao Yang didn't care at all. Because all this is the privilege of the winner. After nearly ten days of rest, Gao Yang's army was finally ready to go out again. This time, not only the cavalry groups that had been scattered in all directions were gathered back. The huge infantry army that had been trailing behind finally caught up. It¡¯s not that their marching speed is really that slow. More importantly, they brought a large team of logistics supplies and craftsmen with them along the way, leaving a large number of small military fortresses made of reinforced concrete components along the marching route. Building these things is what slows down marching speed. Anyway, Gao Yang never thought of using them to participate in the battle to exterminate the Huns. The arrival of a large number of troops directly led to a straight upward trend in the consumption of military supplies and logistical supplies. If it weren't for Gao Yang's storage space, these many mouths could bring down an empire. Not all of them are brave, and the long transportation lines and huge clusters of civilians will bring down everything. This is just to fight the Huns around the Han territory. When it comes to going north to attack the Xianbei people, it is impossible to even think about it without Gao Yang's help. Gao Yang left thousands of cavalry and about 20,000 troops stationed on the newly occupied grassland. At the same time, Han Hao was appointed as the captain of the field army, responsible for recruiting people from the Han region to farm the grasslands. There are no large cities built on the grassland, and all villages are built with cement. Exceptionally strong in the steppe where there is a lack of wood and stone to build siege engines. Those Han citizens who were recruited each received at least one hundred?? land is used for cultivation. In the era before returning farmland to forests and pastures, these grasslands were extremely fertile and could feed a large family with primary chemical fertilizers and high-yielding seeds. ?As a means of defense and control. From Yanmen County and other border counties to the grasslands, a reinforced concrete sentry tower was built every fifty miles, and fifty sergeants were stationed to control the nearby grasslands. At the same time, large-scale construction of many cement roads began, which was the most effective way to control local areas. At this time, Gao Yang regretted that he had killed too many Huns. What if those Huns were left to build roads? Even though it¡¯s exhausting, it¡¯s still valuable. It¡¯s just that it¡¯s too late to regret it now, so I can only capture more slaves when I go north to attack the Xianbei people.
