Cao Hua glanced at the barbarian who was speaking and ordered.
"Pull these barbarians to the death pit, hold them captive, and chop off their heads to pay homage to the dead."
Huo Ze got excited, stepped forward, pulled out his knife, cut off the pillar with one blow, and cursed.
"You want to use a city to seduce me, damn it."
A city or a hundred prisoners, Huo Ze felt that this trade could be done. He yelled at the barbarians, just to remind Cao Hua that these barbarians were valuable.
Cao Hua remained unmoved and continued to order:
"Take them all away, take their heads, and offer sacrifices to the people of Qiuya City who were eaten by them."
The guards rushed forward, working in pairs, escorting the barbarians who were bundled into a ball, and walked out.
The barbarian elders and several personal guards were bundled into a group. When passing by Cao Hua, they shouted:
"General, I am willing to trade two cities, no, three cities for us, no, for myself."
The barbarian elder looked at the cold-faced Cao Hua and kept raising his chips, hoping to exchange his own life.
Cao Hua looked coldly at the barbarian elders who kept changing their chips, unmoved.
When he saw the mass graves, Cao Hua decided to kill all these barbarians and take no prisoners no matter how big or small the war was. Let these barbarians know that if they eat the people of Han, they will have no choice but to die.
Stay on the land of Han.
Huo Ze walked to Cao Hua and reminded him: "General Cao, the barbarians want to exchange three cities for one prisoner. This deal can be done."
Cao Hua gave Huo Ze a cold look: "I'm not deaf, I don't need you to remind me."
Huo Ze's expression changed, he bowed and said, "The general will eventually realize his mistake."
Cao Hua ignored Huo Ze and followed the guards escorting the barbarians to the mass grave where they were buried. Cao Hua said coldly.
"Kneel down"
Huniu roared and kicked a standing barbarian in the leg. The sound of broken bones was heard, and the barbarian screamed and tried to hug his leg.
The two guards who were escorting him used all their strength to hold on to the barbarian's arms, holding him down firmly and making him kneel on the ground.
A group of guards followed suit and pushed all the barbarians to the ground, kneeling towards the mass grave.
Cao Hua stood in front of the mass grave, looking at the freshly buried soil and the still moist soil, and said in a cold voice.
"You are dead today because of these Han people who were killed and eaten by you."
"From today on, our Han army will not accept the surrender of your barbarians. If you kill one of them, our Han army and your barbarians are now mortal enemies."
"I will report to the prince and enumerate the crimes of your barbarians. I will never make peace or negotiate with your barbarians again. We, the Han Kingdom, will always have a life-or-death feud with your barbarians. I will destroy your entire tribe to thank my people, the Han people."
"Cut it off."
Cao Hua threw his hand down.
The neat steel knives fell, and all the barbarians were beheaded.
…
Wanning City, Dudu Mansion.
Su Lu sat behind the handsome desk, read the booklet sent by Cao Hua, closed it, and threw it to Luo Du next to him.
"Please spread the word. Cao Hua wants to be life-and-death enemies with the barbarians, avenge the dead people, and be mortal enemies with the barbarians forever. What do you think?"
Before Luo Du could finish reading the military affairs brochure, he was snatched away by Hua Xun next to him.
Hua Xun took one look and muttered: "Of course I will kill all these stupid beasts and eat people. I, Hua Xun, have no sworn relationship with them."
Hua Xun did not read the contents of the military affairs booklet, but he knew Cao Hua's temperament and must have encountered trouble, otherwise he would not be included in such a booklet, so he followed Cao Hua's advice.
Luo Du said: "Sir, this is not appropriate. Those are three cities. If General Cao hadn't killed the barbarian elder and exchanged three cities for one person, this deal could be done."
Qian Qian, who was looking at the brochure, snorted disdainfully and threw the brochure to Wang Si, who was curling his lips next to him, with a disdainful tone.
"Lao Luo, do you know who the commander-in-chief preferred to be the governor of Xiting?"
"It's you Luo Du! It's a pity that you failed to live up to expectations and were indecisive. You let the commander-in-chief down several times, and finally left the governor of Xiting hanging in the air for so long."
"What are barbarians? Man-eating barbarians!"
"You actually want to do business with them and fight with the prince all these years. You, Lao Luo, have fed everything the prince taught you to the dogs."
Luo Du's face turned red and he couldn't say a word.
The prince originally wanted him to be the governor of Xiting. No wonder the prince valued him so much at the beginning. Later, because he disappointed the prince time and time again, he lost his position as the governor of Xiting.
Oh, I regret it.
However, this is obviously a very good deal.
Su Lu opened his mouth and gave instructions: "The guards sent by Anxi and Anton are almost ready for training. The generals will obey the order and go out to fight on a certain day to capture Monan and Longshu."
"Qian Buzhou, you will lead the army as the commander-in-chief of the middle route army, walk through Tongping, pass Ciguang, and rush to the foot of Longshu City on May 28th to hunt down the barbarians in the last city in our Han Kingdom."
"Wang Si, you are the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army. You walked along Wanghe River, crossed Dingyuan, and arrived at Nagarjuna City on May 28th. Is there any problem?"
Wang Si stood up with the corner of his mouth twitching, and his voice was so loud that it could shake the roof.
"There will be no problem in the end."
Su Lu waved his hand, Wang Si sat down, and Su Lu continued to give instructions.
"Luo Du, after I leave, you will take charge of Ma Ping's imperial guard camp to suppress Wanning. Is there any problem?"
After being entrusted with the important task, Luo Du immediately recovered from his despair and said excitedly:
"The general will take the order, no problem."
Su Lu nodded, "Okay, get ready to go. I want to wipe out all the barbarians in our Han Kingdom before May 28th."
The generals agreed with a roar.
On that day, the Han army advanced all the way. The Han armies supported by the general Ka were as powerful as tigers. They broke through several barbarian garrison cities and killed thousands of barbarians.
The three armies and horses led by Cao Hua, Qian Buzhou, and Wang Sitong advanced hand in hand. Wherever the butcher's knife passed, the slain people of the raging barbarians turned on their backs.
In Nagarjuna City, Xiaolun Gongbu, the young leader of the barbarian tribe, looked at Yesu Buze in front of him with an ugly expression.
"You said that the Su Lu unified army and the Han army were invincible?"
Yesu Buze didn't dare to take any chances. This was an adult who could decide his life or death, so he said respectfully.
"Chief, when we were under the city of Western Liaoning, our army was forced by the Qin army and suffered numerous casualties, but in the end we could not go any further. Later, we accepted the harsher conditions of the Taixi people. The Taixi people sent birds to help, but they still could not advance further. At that time, the commander-in-chief
The Qin army’s is Su Lu.”
The young patriarch nodded: "I know about this, but what does it have to do with this Su Lu?"
"It should be a person."
Yesu Buze said cautiously: "Su Lu personally led the army that night, and I fought with him. As soon as we engaged in the battle, our warriors suffered heavy casualties. If I hadn't withdrawn quickly, the warriors would have killed me on the spot.
The casualties are over.”
"Master Wu Chi, who came from behind, didn't listen to my instructions and led his troops to attack the enemy's formation. He was surrounded and annihilated by Su Lu after just one encounter."
"The Su Lu unified army is invincible."
Yesu Buze spoke to the young patriarch with a solemn expression.
