If a person is killed, he will die.

This truth is timeless, but there is another truth, that is, few people are not afraid of death.

Even some people who voluntarily sacrifice or even commit suicide are not actually afraid of death, but for them, some things are more important than death.

For the Beirong people in front of them, they certainly believed that their relatives were more important. They believed that once they were defeated, their relatives would also suffer misfortune. Therefore, even though the army was in collapse, they still refused to surrender.

Even though Chu Changning had asked people to shout "surrender without killing" several times, these Beirong soldiers did not believe it.

Because they have no relevant experience.

In the history they knew, whether it was Zhou Dynasty or Beirong, as long as they invaded the other party's home, they would kill, plunder, and commit violence on the people.

It's like a cycle, happening over and over again.

So now that Chu Changning says that we will not massacre civilians, these Beirong people don't believe it at all.

Then, Chu Changning had no choice but to eliminate them.

An hour later.

Chu Changning was covered in blood and was breathing rapidly.

There were no Beirong soldiers standing in front of him, only the Xiliang cavalry were still cleaning the battlefield.

"It's the first time..."

Chu Changning wiped the blood on his forehead with the back of his hand, but his hands were already stained with blood, so this wipe only made more blood.

This was the first time since he followed Su Yuan that he fought such a tragic battle.

In the past few times, before the war started, or just after a close encounter, the opponent noticed the difference in strength and surrendered.

But this time it was different. It was probably the scene where King Beirong took the lead and was shot to death by random arrows, which inspired the bloody spirit of these Beirong soldiers, making them fight to the end even though they knew they were outmatched.

In this way, although Chu Changning won, he was not very happy.

Because the 30,000 Xiliang cavalry that Su Yuan gave him also suffered a lot of losses in this battle, and the number was estimated to be nearly 3,000.

This was something Chu Changning did not expect, but he witnessed with his own eyes some Beirong soldiers, even if they were trampled down by horse's hooves, they would open their arms and hug the horse's leg firmly regardless of their own death.

Then other soldiers took the opportunity to besiege the Xiliang cavalry, and it took several lives to kill one cavalry.

Such a desperate and fierce fighting method caused the Xiliang Cavalry, which had always been invincible, to lose so many people.

But now it's all over.

Looking at the corpses everywhere, Chu Changning knew that if left alone, a plague would soon form and drift to Beifeng City with the wind.

He left 7,000 men behind to dig holes and bury the bodies. The remaining 20,000 men continued to march north to complete the tasks assigned by Su Yuan.

Having lost the last of their armed forces, when the Beirong people discovered the arrival of the Xiliang cavalry, they all knelt on the ground without any meaningless resistance.

But some of them couldn't help crying, because their relatives were in that army. Now it was the Bei'an army, which only proved that the Beirong army had failed. Then one can imagine the fate of their relatives.

Not to mention the consequences of being robbed and violently imminent, I can’t help but cry just thinking about it.

But the latter did not happen. The arriving soldiers ignored them and only stayed some for security management while the rest continued to move forward.

This non-stop journey continued until evening, when Chu Changning led his people to Beirong King City.

It is said to be a royal city, but in fact it is just some piled stone buildings, with an overall area only about a quarter of the size of Taiyuan.

Just such a small place can make Dazhou chickens and dogs restless...

Chu Changning thought to himself, I really don’t know what the old prince’s old generals did for food, and what the emperor did for food.

The royal city is not large, but it is a royal city after all. After discovering the Bei'an Army, many Rong troops organized a defense.

But the defensive line of only a thousand people was easily broken through by Chu Changning's troops.

He led his men all the way into the royal court.

"Kaqiang!"

With a loud noise, he inserted his long sword into the stone throne belonging to King Beirong.

This is a symbol of his complete victory over the royal city.

When some Rong servants saw this scene, they also knelt down to show their obedience.

That's it.

Chu Changning looked at the Rong people who were kneeling down, and suddenly felt a sense of unreality.

Beirong, which had troubled the Zhou Dynasty for decades, was conquered by him. No, to be precise, he was conquered by his cavalry.

"My lord."

Chu Changning couldn't help but said.

Now he really thinks that maybe Su Yuan is really a god descended to earth as the people said. Otherwise, who could train such a powerful soldier.

He couldn't help but burst into tears when he thought of the old prince.

"Old prince, if you were still alive, would you be happy to see the crown prince today, or would you..."

Chu Changning didn't know, maybe the old prince would be angry.

After all, Su Tufeng had never been disobedient in his life, but his son chose to rebel.

But these were all random thoughts. Chu Changning quickly adjusted his mind. On the one hand, he was preparing to regulate and manage Beirong according to Su Yuan's model, and on the other hand, he sent people to Taiyuan to report the news.

Taiyuan City.

Even though it has not been long since the initial rectification, many changes have already taken place here.

This can be seen from the smiles on the faces of the people.

There is only one situation when people will always smile, and that is when there is hope everywhere in life. Only when there is hope everywhere, people will always feel happy.

If there is no hope, the expressions of people on the streets will tend to be numb and indifferent.

Now the officials who are sucking the blood of the people in Taiyuan City have been wiped out. The people are weak both physically and mentally, so there is no reason to be hopeless.

And with the banning of several major family industries, a lot of new vitality has been injected into all walks of life. Especially rumors in the city that the King of Bei'an is recently discussing with his staff about printing money without interest, which is even more embarrassing for the people who have ideas but no money.

They were very excited.

If they get an unnecessary or very low-interest loan, then their chance to turn around will come.

Just like this, all walks of life are thriving and looking forward to a better tomorrow.

This scene fell in the eyes of the new caravan entering the city, and they were also greatly surprised.

"This Su Yuan did a really good job."

The owner of the caravan, Jia San, looked around after entering the city, obviously surprised by the changes in the place.

This was because she had been to Taiyuan a few years ago, and she knew exactly what it was like here. There were no less than twenty people who tried to tease her just because they coveted her beauty.

Of course, poisoning these people was also fun, and she felt very happy.

Now that she is here again, some people on the street are paying special attention to her, but they are just paying attention.

This surprised Jia San and also made him understand something.

"No wonder Jiawu betrayed his adoptive father."

When Jia San heard Jia Yi mention Jia Wu's life experience, she knew that Jia Wu fled to the capital due to famine and was taken in by his adoptive father by chance.

It can be seen that Jiawu has a certain obsession with "famine" in his heart. Now in Taiyuan after Su Yuan took over, it seems that there are no scenes related to "famine".

Even in Beijing, there are often homeless children begging for food and picking up garbage on the roadside.

But here, after she walked for a while, she didn't see a single child begging for food. This is enough to show that Su Yuan's governance is indeed very good.

But that doesn't matter to A3.

She didn't care whether Su Yuan was a good guy or a bad guy, she just knew that she would stay in this city for a while.

Unlike the A-5 assassins who pursue completing tasks quickly, her assassination method is slow.

Just like a big boa constrictor, after discovering its prey, it will first spend a long time observing it. When the opportunity arises, it will attack, tightly strangling the prey's neck with its body, and wait for the prey to lose its breath little by little.

This process is what Jia San likes the most.

Therefore, the more her favorite prey is, the more she likes to use chronic poison, so that she can enjoy it longer.

She first went to a trading house, pretended to be a businessman from other places, and rented a shop. She put the rouge and gouache she brought from the capital in the shop, and the next day she opened the shop like a normal store.

A beautiful lady boss opened a new rouge shop. The news was very attractive, and soon many men and women came to check it out.

A3 was like a professional rouge seller, explaining carefully to the inquirer. She was very professional in this aspect, and she sold a few boxes in a short time.

If it were other prey, then what she did was a slow assassination in itself.

Because what she brought was indeed high-quality rouge and gouache. Who needs high-quality rouge and gouache? Naturally, they are rich ladies and ladies with status and status.

If the prey is a more cautious person and it is difficult to poison him, then A3 will change his mind and attack the people around him.

That is, wife, daughter, etc.

First use good rouge and gouache to attract them, and then slowly build a closer relationship. In this way, opportunities will appear before you know it.
