When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

The Golden Eagle was surrounded.

The previous envoy came again and wanted to negotiate with the State of Yan.

At this time, there was singing and dancing in the tent of the Yan general.

When the Jin Tian clan's travelers were brought in, they saw a group of Jin Tian clan nobles dancing for all the Yan people to the music played by the musicians they hired.

This is a dance they perform on the grassland to worship heaven and earth.

And Xin Qu just watched calmly.

It was not until the dance was over that Xin Qu withdrew his gaze, glanced at the pedestrians who came in and said, "I heard that you are here to represent the negotiations?"

"Yes." The Jintian clan's envoy quickly saluted. "Although we were defeated in this battle, it was only a minor defeat. Therefore, please follow the usual rules and name a price so that we can redeem the nobles. As for the land, just draw the line."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter.

"Do you know why I drove you back to the camp even though I could have captured you all?"

After Xin Qu finished speaking, the Jin Tian clan member was stunned and said, "This is not right. It was obviously us who escaped on our own."

"Escape? Even the water that drowned the Golden Sky Eagle was dropped by me from upstream. Two cavalry battalions were chasing you. Are their horses too tired to run? Don't be so conceited. I kept you alive just to let you seek help, and then wait for the help from the Golden Sky Clan, and then eat you all."

Xin Qu waved his hand and said, "In the Western Regions, no forces are allowed to threaten the State of Yan or even the Central Plains. As long as I am here, I will never allow such a powerful force to rise. So, you should stay too. Comfort your friends and clansmen and tell them that if they cooperate with the State of Yan, I can spare their lives. Otherwise, I will kill them."

"what……"

Before Jin Tianshi's envoy could finish his words, he was taken away by people who covered his mouth.

Then the music started again, and the nobles who had been dancing the whirling dance once again stood up to entertain the victor.

The Jin Tian clan's travelers were taken away and put under guard. From time to time on the road, some tribal women could be seen being pulled out to bargain with the tellers and travelers, and then they exchanged money and deeds. Some even gave their own shares of slaves to these people to settle down, and then hung up wooden signs and sent the slaves directly back to their hometowns through the teller's post system.

In addition, there are some strange and bizarre trophies.

For example, shields, bronze weapons, bows, animal skins, gold and silver utensils, etc., merchants from vassal states liked to negotiate purchases with the Yan warriors.

Because the Yan State looked down upon these shabby things, but their vassal states needed them very much.

Whether it is a fight or guarding against wild beasts on the grassland.

In short, no one wants to fight a subsequent war with a bunch of burdens.

Before the enemy arrived, these slaves and spoils would be settled in the shortest possible time and then taken away, passing through Ruibei, across the Doumou Mountains, and then all the way back to the State of Yan via Mobei.

The people from the Jintian clan stared at the scene in a daze.

He never expected that one day, the Jin Tian clan would be abducted and sold like pigs and dogs.

A feeling of humiliation made him feel depressed.

But then he was imprisoned in a residence with a group of nobles.

Most of these nobles are men.

From the tent next door, a woman's screams could be heard from time to time, but they were followed by joy.

"Hey, do you want a ticket? Two cents."

"Get lost! These are prisoners. Watch them carefully and don't cause any trouble. Also, the distribution of the female slaves has not been finalized yet. Don't go too far!"

"Don't worry, they are just slaves. They will be sold sooner or later. As long as they don't die, everything will be fine."

The escort threw the Jin Tian clan's people into the tent and put them under guard. He casually took a skewer of barbecue handed to him by his colleague, took two bites and then said, "How many people do you think the Jin Tian clan will come to rescue?" "I don't know. But at least three or four families will come. I heard that before Jin Tianying was captured, he sent all his six sons to their mother's family and uncle's family. No matter what their plan is, if they come now, their relatives will be the next generation of adults. They will definitely not give up this opportunity."

"That makes sense. Okay, that's it. You watch."

"have to."

The two chatted without avoiding others, and the passers-by from the Jin Tian family broke into cold sweats after listening to them.

I didn’t expect that what Xin Qu said just now was actually true.

The State of Yan really does not intend to engage in an aristocratic war with him.

Instead, he planned to lure the enemy here and then destroy them all.

This is not good news!
And just as Xin Qu had thought, Jin Tianying's sons ran to their maternal uncle's house and made important promises in exchange for a lot of support.

Some came from the headquarters, and some had arranged some forces to assist.

No matter what, once they took action, the large-scale troop movement could not be concealed from the scouts.

As the intelligence was gathered, Xin Qu looked at the map on the table and said with a smile, "Okay, since the enemy is coming, let's attack with the cavalry and infantry. Let Ze Yu lead the team and attack the Golden Sky Horseshoe first."

After finalizing the target, Ze Yu bowed, then turned around excitedly to lead his troops to attack the reinforcements.

This was an opportunity he had been waiting for so long.

As soon as he left, many people looked at Xin Qu with resentment.

What about their military exploits?!
"Okay, we all have a chance. Let's test the strength of the other tribes of Jin Tian Clan. If they are very weak, we will wipe them out one by one in the shortest possible time. Then we will go to the Yili River Valley to attack the Houshang of Jin Tian Clan."

After investigating for a long time, Xin Qu finally pieced together that Hou Shang, the monarch of Jin Tian clan, usually lived a half-farming and half-pastoral life near the Ili River Valley in the summer.

That’s right, the reason why Hou Shang’s force is the strongest among the ten tribes is because they have mastered farming to a certain extent.

The Ili River Valley is not only a place where warm and humid air currents from the Atlantic Ocean can reach, but also a land with abundant water and grass.

Compared with the nomadic tribes scattered in the northern Xinjiang, after Hou Shang controlled the Ili River Valley, he basically moved between the Ili River Valley and the Fergana Basin.

Generally, the rotation is three years, which is almost the same as the Dianfu tribe of the Shang clan. After three years, if the soil fertility is not good enough, they will move to another place.

Therefore, if he wanted to completely resolve the threat posed by the Jin Tian clan, he had to make a trip to the Ili River Valley this year.

But before that, the ten major forces in the northern border area must be dealt with.

Otherwise, logistics problems may easily occur.

Soon, Ze Yu came back, carrying a dozen nobles with him. They looked at the burly men in the room with fear and trembling.

Xin Qu was also wearing a long gown with right-side opening and his hair was neatly tied up. He looked these nobles up and down and said, "How are you?"

"A head-on charge will cause them to collapse. It will be even easier for cavalry to cut through them."

"Okay. Then concentrate your superior forces, divide them into two teams, bring infantrymen who can ride horses, maximize mobility, and start a cleanup of the approaching Ten Tribes, especially their headquarters camps, to find and annihilate them.

After we defeat them, all the rest of you will take the cavalry, but not the chariots, and practice the thousand-mile raid with me.

A rare opportunity.”

Xin Qu stood up, walked to the map location of the Ili River Valley, and slapped his palm on it: "Cavalry is the future of the grassland."

"Yes!" (End of this chapter)
