I’m The King Chapter 162: : Unlock
Under the reflection of the raging flames, more than seven hundred riders roared in and left like the wind, leaving only a mountain of corpses and bloodstains on the spot, and another Donghu tribe fell in front of Gao Yuan , but Gao Yuan couldn't be happy at all. This was the first Donghu tribe he slaughtered without any resistance. The tribal warriors who swung their knives into battle, and the rest were sold to He Lanxiong. Although it was extremely difficult, they left a life after all.
Seven hundred cavalry ran for several hours, until the galloping Tuotuo River lay in front of them, then they stopped, and everyone got off their horses and started to work.
Gao Yuan walked to the river alone, staring at the Tuotuo River flowing all the way down to the distance. He got down, stretched out his hands, and scrubbed vigorously. His hands were not stained with blood. It was not his turn to appear in the battle last night. But Gao Yuan always felt that his hands were stained with blood that could not be washed off. Regardless of everything before, or in this life, Gao Yuan has killed many people, and he has never felt such an extremely uncomfortable feeling. Before those children fell under the knife, they were either desperate, terrified, or helpless. The divine gaze deeply hurt Gao Yuan.
"County captain, maybe death is a better relief for them. Those Donghu slaves we sold to He Lanxiong may not be able to die if they want to!" The infantry understood Gao Yuan's thoughts and walked along He, whispered to explain Gao Yuandao.
Gao Yuan shook his head, "Infantry, if you are alive, you will have hope, if you die, you will have nothing!"
"They are our enemies!" The footman was silent for a moment, "County captain, there are no soldiers in this tribe, where are their soldiers? They are going to attack us Dayan. If they invade our country, Will our compatriots end better than them?"
"You're right." Gao Yuan nodded depressedly, "It's just that when those children fell down, the look in their eyes made people feel extremely uncomfortable."
"We are all uncomfortable." The infantry murmured, "But there is no way."
The sound of footsteps came from behind the two of them, and the foot soldier looked back, but it was He Lanyan who was leading her horse and walking over, "County Captain, I went to greet my brothers."
Gao Yuan nodded, "Go ahead and do the things I told you to do well. This is related to whether we can go home."
"Don't worry!" the infantryman nodded. Looking sideways at He Lanyan again, "Hello, Teacher He!"
He Lanyan walked straight up to Gao Yuan, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
"A bit!" Gao Yuan replied honestly.
"Unexpectedly, the majestic Fufeng County Captain, Megatron Donghu's Gao Yuan would have today!" He Lanyan chuckled lightly. Drive your horse into the water, and take a brush to wash the blood and sweat on the horse.
"Let me help you!" Snatching the brush from He Lanyan, Gao Yuan said.
"That's great!" He Lanyan smiled. "Gao Yuan, don't you think I'm very vicious, even the elderly, women, and children?"
"No, I have to thank you. If you don't do it, I have to do it in the end." Gao Yuan stood up straight and said calmly: "Because if you have to choose one of the two, I will definitely choose my brother, and I will definitely choose my brother." Not them."
"Gao Yuan. Compared with us, you have lived a very comfortable life since you were a child." He Lanyan sat on a rock by the bank, with her hands folded on her knees, looking at the flowing river, her thoughts seemed to drift away Far away, "Although Fufeng City has been repeatedly harassed by Donghu people, you stay in the city. Although you have no parents, you have an official uncle who takes care of you. I think you have never suffered, and you have never seen such a thing. Your death is the battle of my life. I am different. Our Helan tribe has always been very weak, facing the end of our family's destruction all the time. Over the years, we have always been on the edge of life and death. My grandfather, father, and mother all died one after another like this. Since I was a child, I have witnessed too many deaths, so many have made me numb.”
"I know, you've always been the weak and the strong over there. It's really not easy for you to survive!" Gao Yuan said sympathetically, looking at He Lanyan, he suddenly felt very lucky for everything he had.
"Killing and fleeing, this is my previous life cycle. Over the years, I have realized a truth, Gao Yuan, do you know what it is?" He Lanyan, with her chin resting on her knees, looked away, Looking at Gao Yuan, he asked.
"What's the point?"
"When you do good, you are like a Bodhisattva, and when you do evil, you have to surpass Shura!" How many times have I seen our Helan tribe's children being killed like this, and I have seen our Helan tribe kill others, Gao Yuan, when you don't have enough strength, you are not qualified to show mercy Other people's. Only when you have great power, can stand tall and look down on all living beings, you have this qualification. As long as war exists, killing will not stop, so harden your heart!"
Gao Yuan stared at He Lanyan in a daze. What kind of childhood must this cheerful and bright girl have had to have such an understanding? On weekdays, I still only see one side of her, but today, she let herself see another side of her.
"Thank you, Swallow, after listening to your words, I feel a lot better in my heart. You are right, the wars are endless, the killings are endless, maybe there will only be a day when there is no war in the world, such a tragedy It won't happen. You have the heart of a bodhisattva, but you need to use Shura's thunderbolt method!" Gao Yuan said loudly.
He Lanyan laughed, "That's it. By the way, next, we will go up the Tuotuo River for two hundred miles."
"The river is tens of feet wide, and the flow is very fast. How to cross the river is also a problem!" Gao Yuan smiled wryly and shook his head.
"Going forward, you can always find a place with a gentle current and swim across it, what else can you do?" He Lanyan said with a smile: "This year's weather is cold early, maybe when we come back, the Tuotuo River will be frozen Now, it will be much more convenient at that time, just ride the horse and pass by.”
Yulin is an important town second only to Helin in Donghu. If Helin is the political center where Donghu King Miranda controls the vast area under Donghu, then Yulin is the economic center of the entire Donghu. The border of Yan State is less than 500 miles away, close to the Tuotuo River, and the transportation is convenient. It is the gathering point of economic exchanges between the countries of the Central Plains and Donghu. Almost all the trade between Donghu and the forces of the Central Plains is completed here.
In peacetime, it was an important economic town, but in wartime, it became the springboard and advance base for King Donghu to attack the Central Plains countries. This time, it was no exception. Grain and fodder materials have been continuously transported from various places under the jurisdiction of Donghu to Yulin.
Thorpe, the third son of Donghu King, was ordered to lead the first batch of 3,000 cavalry to enter Yulin. The safety of a large amount of food and fodder.
Unlike other parts of the Central Plains, although Yulin has more than 100,000 people living together, there is no tall city wall here. Donghu people are still nomadic people in essence. Spring comes and winter goes, and they live without a fixed place. Few tribes have settled in a certain place for a long time, but the formation of Yulin is more of the warehouses, inns, and restaurants built by merchants from various countries who trade here. Over time, more and more people here, Donghu The king began to set up government offices, yamen, and build roads here. After years of accumulation, Yulin finally became the second largest city after Helin.
Naturally, it is impossible to transport the supplies continuously into the city, and there is no such a large place in the city that can accommodate such a large amount of food and supplies. A few miles away from Yulin City, large camps have sprung up one after another. These large camps were built by Thorpe to keep the non-stop supply of food and fodder.
Yulin is located in the depths controlled by Donghu. Basically, there is no need to worry about enemy attacks~IndoMTL.com~ There are more than a thousand Donghu cavalry stationed in Yulin itself. After Thorpe arrived, the number of Donghu cavalry surged here. Four thousand, in Thorpe's view, this is a completely impregnable wall, the enemy cannot invade on a large scale, and some enemy spies want to sabotage, under the continuous high-pressure attack of his own for two months, they have already been defeated. , very few are alive, and even if there are still alive, they are terrified and afraid to show their heads.
Donghu King Miranda is old, and the heir has to be put on the agenda. Among Miranda's several sons, the most outstanding are the eldest son Suoke and the third son Thorpe, which is also recognized. The two most likely to inherit the Donghu King's throne, each with their own talents and followers, this time Miranda arranged for Thorpe to come to Yulin to preside over the logistics camp, and took his eldest son Sock to Yulin. Touring the various ministries, this is actually an opportunity for the two to show off their talents. For the two, this is a big test. Whoever wins this big test will win the position of King Li Donghu. A step further.
Brother Thor and Thorpe both understand this deeply, so in the eyes of outsiders, Yulin is already an impregnable fortress, but Thorpe is still working tirelessly and doing everything by himself. For him, the task this time is There is nothing wrong with it. If something goes wrong, not only will the mission of the Southern Expedition fail, but what is even more unbearable for him is that he will be a big step behind in this battle for unification.
If you lose every step, you will lose step by step.
