Chapter 146: The Expedition of the Plains

 Before Hu Chiyan and his officials could speak out, King Yan's voice continued to ring in the palace.

"The first crime of Hu Chiyan is that he is a merciless king, does not abide by his duties, is ambitious, and starts a war between the two countries."

"The second crime is that as a neighboring and friendly country, we did not want to form an alliance to help Yun State, but instead took advantage of the time when the barbarians and Huns were attacking Yun State to raise troops and invade our border."

"The third crime is to seize the city of our Yun Kingdom, destroy the rivers and mountains of our Yun Kingdom, and insult the majesty of our Yun Kingdom."

"Crime Four: Allowing the prairie army to massacre the people of Yun State and killing innocent people indiscriminately."

"The fifth crime is to insist on going your own way, causing countless casualties to the troops of the two countries..."

The King of Yan enumerated the ten deadly sins of calling Chiyan based on the "Execution of the Plains", and every sentence was conveyed to the grassland people through the power of the Yun Kingdom's national destiny.

No matter where they are in the grassland tribe, everyone can hear King Yan's voice clearly.

"What! Khan actually massacred the people of Yun Kingdom? How could he do such a thing? I don't believe it, this must be a slander!"

"Our prairie tribe's army lost the battle? How is it possible! Our prairie tribe's cavalry cannot lose!"

"I have long said that Hu Chiyan would do some outrageous things. I didn't expect that after he captured the city of Yun Kingdom, he would not even spare the unarmed people. This is simply a tyrant!"

"You are a fool! You are a fool! Why bother with the Yun Kingdom when you have nothing to do! If the Yun Kingdom invades the grassland people, where will we go to herd sheep?"

"Damn Hu Chiyan! We used to be law-abiding grassland people, grazing during the day, eating beef and mutton, and drinking a few glasses of wine at night. Now these days are really over!"

"You think, if the Yun Kingdom's army invades, will they also massacre us common people in retaliation for the prairie cavalry's massacre of the Yun Kingdom's people?"

At this moment, the tribal people in all areas of the grassland tribe are panicking.

The country is going to war, and the peaceful life is coming to an end!

"Bang!"

Hu Chiyan suddenly slapped the table, her eyes widened with anger, and she almost overturned the table.

The princes and officials of the grassland tribe were also furious. They did not expect that King Yan would use the power of national destiny to recite a proclamation and insult their khan.

King Yan listed the ten sins and scolded Hu Chiyan like a bloody fool. This was the most shameful and humiliating thing that Hu Chiyan could not accept.

"Presumptuous! Presumptuous! Presumptuous!"

"The thief Mu Yan dares to slander this Khan. He is worse than a beast!"

"The grassland people and the Yun Kingdom are at odds with each other!"

Hu Chiyan roared hysterically, with endless hatred and murderous intent bursting out of her eyes.

"Mu Yan, you are so brave, you actually slandered my father Khan like this!"

"It's too much to bully others! It's too much to bully others! It's like bullying my grassland that no one is there!"

"Mu Yan deserves to die! He should be sentenced to death!"

Hu Chikuo, Hu Chiyou and others were so angry that their eyes were about to burst. They could not bear the thought of their father being so humiliated by King Yan.

"This Khan is not guilty! As a king, I cannot be humiliated!"

Hu Chiyan held the jade seal with one hand and mobilized the grassland people's national destiny to block the voice of King Yan.

"Boom!"

The national destiny of the prairie people appeared, forming an invisible copper wall and iron wall, covering hundreds of thousands of miles.

Hu Chiyan breathed a sigh of relief and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a bit of mockery.

The next moment, the power of the Yun Kingdom's national destiny turned into an invisible sharp sword. When the two collided, it actually penetrated a hole in the invisible copper wall.

"Impossible! How could it be so!"

Hu Chiyan was shocked and couldn't believe that Yun State's national destiny was still so strong despite fighting against the barbarians and Xiongnu at the same time.

What is even more difficult to accept is that the national destiny of the Yun Kingdom can easily break through the shield formed by the national destiny of the prairie people.

This was simply an invisible slap, slapped hard on Hu Chiyan’s face, and on the face of every grassland official.

"Why has the national fortune of the Yun State become so strong? Is it because the Yun State has a mysterious cannon?"

Hu Chiyan's face was extremely pale. The more powerful a country is, the stronger its national destiny will be. The two are directly proportional.

"Is the national power of the Yun Kingdom stronger than that of the grassland people?"

Hu Chiyan had such thoughts in her heart, but quickly denied it: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Both the barbarians and the Xiongnu are attacking the Yun Kingdom. No matter how powerful the Yun Kingdom is, it is definitely impossible for them to be our grassland people.

If the Yun Kingdom dares to invade the grassland tribe, it will put a lot of pressure on the national treasury, and it will undoubtedly lead to self-destruction!"

Thinking of this, Hu Chiyan felt a little better.

The next moment, King Yan's voice echoed through the palace again.

"Today, Mu Yan announces here that he will use all the strength of the country to level the grassland, destroy the grassland palace, kill the Huchi family, and do justice for heaven!"

The people of many tribes in the grassland are panicking. Since King Yan has spoken out and wiped out the grassland tribes, he is destined to fight to the death.

"Mu Yan! You are too presumptuous! How dare you send troops to attack my grassland!"

Hu Chiyan was so angry that the grassland people attacked Yun State and were driven out of the Western Region by Yun State.

Now that the Yun Kingdom has announced that it will destroy the grassland people, this is undoubtedly a huge shame for the grassland people, and it is also an unacceptable shame.

"Okay! Come on then! I don't believe that the soldiers and horses of the Yun Kingdom can be the opponent of the prairie cavalry. Even if the Yun Kingdom has some mysterious cannons, so what? What do I have to fear?"

Hu Chiyan said loudly: "Assemble all the soldiers and horses of the grassland tribe to fight against the Yun Kingdom army. I will personally lead the expedition and capture Mu Yan's traitor alive, so that the people of the Yun Kingdom know the price of offending our grassland tribe."

"I obey my orders!"

The officials of the grassland tribe all supported Hu Chiyan. They believed that King Yan had gone too far and slandered their khan like this. Which one was intolerable?

If we can't defeat the Yun Kingdom, wouldn't the grassland tribe become a joke?

So, the grassland people mobilized a large army to attack the Yun Kingdom soldiers and horses.

The other side.

After King Yan finished reciting the "Message to Cut Down the Plains", he turned to the soldiers of the three armies and said: "The grassland people are inferior to animals, and everyone can kill them. This battle is for the innocent people of Yun State who died tragically, and it is also for Yun State."

We fought to open up the country and expand its territory. The Huchi family wanted to destroy the Yun Kingdom, so I, the king, destroyed their country first. This battle was called the 'Conquest of the Plains'."

"But before that, I have some military orders to explain. Anyone who disobeys the orders, regardless of their official rank, Confucianism or Taoism, including Mr. Ye, will be beheaded in public!"

After the words fell, the officers and soldiers of the three armies changed their colors one after another, and even Ye Jinghong had to restrain him, which shows the importance of this military order.

"Please give the order, King Yan, and we will listen attentively."

Ye Jinghong immediately cooperated with King Yan. With him as an example, other generals should obey and dare not disobey.

King Yan continued: "The people who killed the innocent people of our Yun Kingdom were the cavalry of the Prairie Kingdom, not the people of the Prairie Nation. Therefore, after the army enters the grassland, it must abide by the following regulations."

"First, don't massacre the grassland people. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed."

"Second, you must not plunder the grassland people, and those who disobey orders will be killed."

"Third, when we march into the grassland this time, the grassland people will have some misunderstandings about our army. Therefore, we must not conflict with the grassland people and must be patient."

"Fourth, don't seize the territory of the grassland people."

"Fifth, the land where sheep and cattle are grazed must not be trampled. It is the birthplace of grassland people."

"Sixth, do not destroy crops..."

King Yan issued military orders, and every military order took special care of the people of the grassland tribe, not robbing them or taking their supplies, except for the military orders directed at the cavalry of the grassland tribe.

That is to say, once the soldiers of the three armies encounter the prairie tribe's army, they can fight without restraint, and they can kill as much as they want.

Once the Yun Kingdom successfully conquers the grassland, the territory of the Prairie People will become the territory of the Yun Kingdom, and the residents of the Prairie People will naturally be equal to the people of the Yun Kingdom.

Therefore, King Yan would not imitate the grassland people and kill innocent people indiscriminately, because he believed that the people of the grassland people would become part of the Yun Kingdom.

"The three armies listen to the order and set off!"

King Yan issued the last order, and the three armies marched towards the grassland tribe's territory.

After the Yun Kingdom army entered the grassland territory, they saw an endless expanse of land as far as the eye could see.

…………

After two days of marching, we can see that many camps have been uprooted or have been destroyed.

There are also places where sheep and cattle are herded, but no cattle or sheep can be seen.

Apparently, after the grassland people heard that there was going to be a war, they hurriedly moved their tribes to other places to avoid being affected by the war.

Du Ning came over and said: "Your Highness King Yan, I sent people to scout other places and found that some grassland people committed suicide and committed suicide. The soldiers immediately rescued those people and are trying to calm their emotions. Do you want to go there?"

Take a look?"

"How could people from the grassland tribe commit suicide? What's going on?" King Yan asked.

Du Ning responded: "According to the reconnaissance report, the Huchi family confiscated the people's cattle, sheep and war horses in the name of war, but did not care about their lives. They were afraid that they would be massacred by our army, but they lost their livelihood.

So some people are thinking of committing suicide in order to avoid seeing our army slaughtering the grassland people or dying under our army's swords."

"Absurd! They actually confiscated the people's cattle, sheep and war horses. The grassland court slaughtered our people in the Yun Kingdom, but it was also so cruel to its own people. It is simply worse than animals!"

"Tyrant! The people are the foundation of the country and the cornerstone of the court. If you don't even protect your own people, there is no need for such a court to exist!"

"This shows that that bitch Hu Chiyan is already scared. They are afraid of our Yun Kingdom's army, so they break the jars and confiscate the people's things and fight our army to the death."

"Who do they think they are from the prairie tribe? Are they worthy of fighting us to the death? Our country of Yun has a hundred mysterious cannons, and we will definitely win if we push them all the way!"

Many people are filled with indignation. What the Huchi family did is simply outrageous.

"Let's go see those prairie people."

After saying this, King Yan followed Du Ning.

There are several tents ahead, and outside the houses are sitting a dozen prairie people who were rescued by Yun soldiers.

When they saw the Yun Kingdom's army, each of them turned pale with fright, and hurriedly picked up the thing in their hands and entered a defensive state.

A general next to the tent stepped forward and said: "Don't be afraid, you are the people of the grassland tribe, we will not harm you."

"Nonsense!"

The leader of the grassland people trembled and said: "Didn't you, the Yun Kingdom, just want to crush our grassland people, so you sent a large army to fight in? Why are you pretending to be good people! Don't think that we will be grateful to you, we grassland people are afraid of death.

, but we will never be cowards!"

"Come on! Kill us! We are not afraid of death!"

"I'll fight with you. If I kill one, I'll be enough. If I kill two, I'll make a profit!"

The prairie people roared, roaring with a tone of hatred.

First they were confiscated by the imperial court with their cattle, sheep and war horses, and now they are facing the Yun Kingdom army. Anyway, they are going to die, so it is better to die vigorously. Don’t let the Yun Kingdom people underestimate the prairie people.

"You people..."

The generals of Yun State were immediately furious. Seeing these people seeking suicide and being kind enough to save them, these people didn't know how to be grateful, so they just thought they were enemies.

This is really beyond words!

If it weren't for King Yan's military order, the soldiers of Yun State would really be eager to fulfill their loyalty.

King Yan glanced at the grassland people and saw that although they were confronting each other with weapons, their hands and feet were trembling uncontrollably.

"Pfft..." someone laughed.

The prairie people looked embarrassed and felt even more angry.

"Don't be nervous, please put down the thing in your hands first."

Du Ning said to the prairie people: "We are scholars and will not imitate those ferocious prairie armies who kill innocent people indiscriminately. You are all victims of war, so we will not harm you."

"Really...really?"

Hearing what Du Ning said, the grassland people looked at each other in disbelief.

"Hu Chiyan was a cruel and ambitious king. Now the Yun State is recruiting benevolent troops to attack the plains. The first is to seek justice for the people of the Yun State. The second is to overthrow a cruel tyrant. The third is to unify the grassland. From now on, there will no longer be a grassland country.

, but there will be another more powerful country to protect you so that you can live and work in peace and contentment on the grassland." Du Ning said.

"That sounds nice, why should we believe you?"

"That's it! Don't deceive us like three-year-old children. We are grassland people and we are willing to live and die with the grassland!"

"We will not be traitors!"

The grassland people made a loud noise and were still hostile to the Yun people.

Du Ning smiled, pointed to the spot behind him and said: "There are no cavalry from the grassland tribe behind us, and no one will rob your cattle, sheep and horses. You can live in that area, and we will give you some cattle and sheep.

Just go and take refuge there!"

King Yan glanced at Du Ning with admiration and ordered: "Come here, reward them with ten cattle and sheep, and give them some food. We should continue on our way."

"Get the order!"

The soldiers immediately went to the army to fetch cattle and sheep, and also left some food for these prairie people.

Subsequently, the three armies continued to march forward.

Those grassland people were dumbfounded and couldn't believe that not only were they not killed by the Yun people, but they also received gifts from them. This was completely different from how the grassland court treated them.

"I said...are we still going to...die for our country?"

"What country do you want to die for? Even if you die, you have to eat these cattle and sheep before you die!"

"Yes, that makes sense."

After watching the Yun Kingdom army leave, the grassland people sighed again.

"Teacher of benevolence and righteousness..."
