I’m The King Chapter 553: : Capture

Niulan Mountain is still a world of snow, not only the big camp at the foot of the mountain, but the whole Niulan Mountain is still covered by ice and snow. Looking around, it is all white, with occasional bits of green coming from the snow-white Sticking out his head tenaciously, he became a bright color in this vast world. The sun shines on the countless long icicles, and the colorful rays of light flicker. With the sound of crackling, a little bit of ice beads fall from the icicles and hit the snow, eroding small holes. The weather is getting worse. It will get warmer day by day, and these small holes that have been eroded will also become bigger day by day, and finally the thick snow will turn into running water, nourishing this fertile black land.

From Niulan Mountain to Donghu, the Zhengdong Army has opened up a spacious avenue over the years. The ground is paved with crushed stones and compacted. Even in the rainy season, it can withstand the rolling of carriages. At that time, countless carriages carrying supplies traveled along this avenue deep into the territory of Donghu, and the road was not damaged much. Even now, this road is still a smooth way for merchants traveling between Donghu and Dayan.

The two sides have lifted the state of war, and businessmen who uphold the supremacy of profit have flocked here, but any businessman with insight knows that after the war, it is the time to make a lot of money. The goods shipped from Dayan to Donghu are There are countless daily necessities, needles and threads, tea bricks and pots and pans, but what they bring back from Donghu are real money, furs and medicinal materials. This is a typical profitable business. There are not only large caravans, but also one-legged traders. As long as you arrive smoothly, you can earn a lot of money.

Of course, this road is not without risk, leading to the depths of Donghu, along the way, because of the remaining broken soldiers after the war. It is very likely to turn into a bandit, and if you encounter a robbery, you can only pinch your nose to recognize it. Generally, large caravans have accompanying guards and are well-equipped. Moreover, these caravans are generally connected with the real power figures of the local government, so they are not worried about this, and the weak businessmen are really taking great risks.

Of course, Gao Yuan doesn't care about this. At any time, it is impossible to ban the commercial exchanges between the two places, and. Prohibition is not necessarily a good thing. For example, some special products of Donghu are what Liaoxi needs. If the trade route is cut off, these things will naturally not be obtained smoothly. Anyway, merchants have to pay taxes when they come and go, and the final destination of these tax money can only be the East Mansion. Deep down in his heart, Gao Yuan even hoped that the business exchanges between the two places would be more frequent. You can collect more tax money yourself. In terms of the utilization rate of these silver coins, Gao Yuan is confident that in this world, no government can be more effective through his own conquest of the East Mansion.

Of course. This does not mean that the Zhengdong Mansion will ignore commercial transactions, such as iron materials, weapons, etc. are prohibited, openly selling these things to Donghu, once caught, the only way to go is to beheaded.

However, after the armistice between the two countries, according to the investigation report of the Overwatch Council, Gao Yuan discovered an interesting phenomenon, that is, the Donghu people suddenly increased their need for farming tools. Cao Tianci once suspected that Donghu people had found another way. After the introduction of these farm implements, they were re-melted into iron. For making weapons, Gao Yuan snorted, if relying on these things to raise iron materials to make weapons, Donghu might have perished long ago, and it can wait until today. The large amount of imported farm tools should be due to the major changes in domestic policies of the Donghu people. Perhaps they are preparing to transition from nomadic to farming. Gao Yuan is interested in any changes in Donghu's country, because this is his next enemy. The Overwatch Council's massive manpower and material resources have been tilted in the direction of Donghu, striving to lay a solid intelligence foundation for future wars between the two sides.

Today is the day when Zhou Yuan arrived at the Niulanshan camp. Gao Yuan personally led the generals of the Eastern Field Group at all levels, and went out of the camp for fifty miles to meet the former Great Yan Taiwei, who was once powerful and prominent. .

The vanguard troops that set out earlier had already set up their barracks. One thousand heavily armed infantry and five hundred cavalry were waiting in full battle. A few miles away from them was the barracks of the Donghu people. It's Agubu.

Looking at the flag of the Agu tribe fluttering across the street, Gao Yuan shook his head and sighed. These boring things, it can be seen that the Agu Department is about to decline."

He Lanxiong nodded and said: "Agu's first team was on the wrong team in the Donghu internal struggle. Even if Agu Wynn fought back and saved part of Agu's vitality, it is natural to lose Thorpe's favor. It's pretty good to be able to survive doing something wrong in this kind of thing. Under normal circumstances, all the relatives of Agu's family will be killed, and the subordinates will be distributed to other tribes. Now There are still things for them to do, I'm afraid it's too late for Agu Wynn to be happy!"

"It seems that the Agu Department will become your opponent for a long time to come." Gao Yuan smiled and said, "I think that the Agu Department is not only here to **** Zhou Yuan and the first batch of deportees." The Yan army, this time, I am afraid that I will set up camp here and sing the opposite with you."

"It's just in time, it's just a stray dog, and it's eager to make meritorious service in front of its new master and ask for a reward. It must be very urgent, but it just happened to be sent to my door, and my battle flag will be dyed red with his head. I can't ask for it." He Lanxiong said coldly.

Gao Yuan looked up to the sky and laughed, "The words hit the point, but don't be careless. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. After all, the Agu tribe was once the top three tribes in Donghu. It is also possible to mobilize tens of thousands of cavalry, but your Eastern Field Army Group now only has 3,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry, and they are superior in strength, but they have the upper hand."

"Didn't the governor say that a field army has 60,000 troops?" He Lanxiong said with a smile.

"I agreed, but you must be able to recruit soldiers! As long as you can summon them, I will pay you and equip you with weapons!" Gao Yuan said.

"Okay!" He Lanxiong pointed to the opposite side, "Where are there tens of thousands of prisoners of war from the Yan Army, and the first batch of returnees is 5,000, why don't you stay and join our Eastern Field Army? "

"I can't do that!" Gao Yuan smiled and shook his head, "So you made up your mind on this. I have an agreement with Tan Feng that all the returned prisoners of war must be returned to them."

"This guy turns his face faster than a book, let's learn from him once, are we afraid that he won't turn his face? Does he dare?" He Nanxiong smiled.

Gao Yuan waved his hand, "Now is not the time to tear your face apart. The things that should be maintained are the things that need to be maintained. Why bother to tell others?"

"These people are the elite of the Yan army. If we can win them, it will definitely bring our strength to a higher level." He Lanxiong said unwillingly: "Are you willing to do that?"

"It's not a matter of reluctance." Gao Yuan said: "Even if these Yan troops are left behind, they may not be willing to obey your command, but they have been released back in an organized way. If you want to take such prisoners Don't forget that there are more than 50,000 prisoners of war in Donghu territory, if they were not repatriated by Donghu people, but rescued by you, it would be a different matter."

He Lanxiong's eyes lit up, "Captain, you are very cunning."

Gao Yuan smiled lightly. The tens of thousands of Yan troops captured by Donghu are the essence of Dayan's army. It is a lie to say that he is not greedy. If he wants to swallow it, he must pay attention to some methods. I can't reach out for those repatriated through regular channels, but if I **** them from Donghu, it's my own spoils, and I let myself dispose of them. I have nothing to do with myself.

"Captain, here we come!" A step behind the two, Meng Chong suddenly pointed forward and called out. The two stopped talking and turned their heads to look. The gate of the big camp of Agu's army was wide open, and thousands of cavalry came out from the inside and lined up outside the big camp. , but unarmed people came out from the inside dejectedly. Each of them's right hands were strung together by ropes, connected to each other, and they walked towards the direction of Zhengdong Army.

"It seems that ~IndoMTL.com~ has suffered a lot." He Lanxiong shook his head and said: "Look at all of them, all of them are yellow-faced and thin, and they are all like bamboo poles. Commander, I'm afraid these soldiers will be scrapped There are quite a few, and it won’t be of much use when they go back, I take back what I said earlier, these soldiers are useless, they are thinner, they will always be able to support them, but looking at them like this, they have lost even their vitality.”

Meng Chong on one side sneered: "These people are useless even if they are alive. Tan Feng still expects them to go back and support the Yan army's backbone. With this appearance, at most they can be farmers. It seems that Tan Feng's calculation is in vain. Yes. If you ask me, these people are simply a disgrace to the soldiers. Tens of thousands of people surrendered without a fight. At the beginning, if they broke the boat and fought to the death with the Donghu people, even if they died in battle, they would still save the lives of many Donghu people. Even if they were defeated, He is also a well-known man, how could he be ashamed as he is now."

He Lanxiong smiled wryly when he heard the words. Meng Chong's words reminded him of the more than 20,000 Hun cavalry who were trapped and killed by Qin general Wang Xiao in Huolan Mountain. If there is a battle, the Qin army can be dragged on the grassland, then Zhao Guo and Zhao Mu can break through the Hangu Pass, let alone kill the Qin King on the spot. People may have a glimmer of life. How could they wander around like they are now, thinking of heaven and hell, but there are countless possibilities for this kind of thing after thinking about it, but under the circumstances at that time, how could they think of it? many. If everything is accurate, then it is not a human being, but a god. (to be continued)
