Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 212 Food is in short supply!
at this time.

As the clan leader's order was issued, thousands of people carrying the royal order of the clan leader Kemu Khan rushed between the tribes to convey the news.

Yueshi territory.

a certain camp.

A cavalryman who was responsible for delivering orders stood in the center of the camp, looked at the people in front of him with a solemn look and shouted loudly: "The clan leader has given an order, all Yuezhi clan members must retreat to the Da Yuezhi camp!"

As soon as he finished speaking, some other tribesmen and herdsmen in the tribal camp heard the sound and came out.

Even the leader of the camp came out of the main tent and looked at the messenger cavalry with doubts on his face.

Seeing the leader come out, the cavalry stepped forward and said, "The clan leader has given an order, all Yuezhi clan members must retreat to the Da Yuezhi camp!"

"The leaders of each tribe obey orders!"

After conveying the news, the cavalry turned their horses and headed towards the next tribe, leaving only the confused people.

The deputy general standing next to him looked at the tribe leader with a confused look on his face, and asked doubtfully: "Boss, why does the tribe leader want us to withdraw to our base? Is it possible that the tribe leader can't do anything about this Qin army?"

The leader turned his head and glared at him fiercely, and scolded: "How can I, the Yuezhi's 25 cavalrymen, be afraid of this Qin army? If you dare to disturb the morale of the army again, don't blame me for dealing with you according to the clan law!"

Disturbing the morale of the army is a serious crime of beheading!
Thinking of this, the deputy general's face suddenly turned pale, and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes... yes... yes, I know I was wrong!"

A complicated look flashed across the leader's eyes, and he was also thinking about why the clan leader did this.

In the past, when the Qiang clan invaded, the clan leader would immediately order the surrounding tribes to bring troops to support.

But now that the Qin State had massacred seven Yuezhi tribes in succession, the clan leader asked all the tribesmen to return to Dayuezhi's camp and did not choose to fight the Qin army head-on.

Or is it that the clan leader plans to lure the enemy deeper and annihilate the Qin army in one fell swoop?
Yes, that should be the case. The Qin army only has more than 25 people, and our clan has an army of [-]. It is impossible to be afraid of the Qin army. The clan leader must be planning to annihilate the Qin army in one fell swoop.

The retreat must be to make the Qin army relax their vigilance, make them think that we Yueshi are afraid of them, and then catch them off guard.

Thinking of this, the leader raised a smile on his lips and snorted coldly: "A small 2 people want to attack my Yue clan, and this Qin army doesn't even know it is about to die!"

"Quickly, follow the clan leader's instructions and let all clan members retreat!"

The deputy general was stunned for a moment, then pointed his finger at the herdsmen not far away and asked: "Boss, what about these slaves?"

"slave?"

The leader looked at them, then pondered for a while, and said: "Don't worry about these slaves. The clan leader's order is for all clansmen to retreat. These slaves are not from my clan. If they die, they will die. Those young and strong people will die." Take them with you, and leave all the other women, children and children behind. Whether they can avoid these Qin soldiers depends on their own luck!"

"If every tribe brings all these slaves back to Yuezhi's base, there will definitely be an overcrowded situation."

"Slaves, there are a lot of them on the grassland. As long as my Yuezhi clan destroys this Qin army, we still need these few slaves? Hahaha..."

The lieutenant general suddenly realized something. He gave a thumbs up and praised with a smile: "That's what the boss said! Compared with the [-] slaves of the Qin army, these are nothing at all, and these old guys are of no use. Keep them." If you are still wasting food, why not let these Qin troops kill you?"

Soon, the Yue clan members in the camp were in order.

All the young adults were selected and followed behind the Yuezhi clan.

There were only a few old, young, women and children left in the entire camp who were thrown into the camp.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...Daddy...I want my daddy, wuwuwu..."

A child cried loudly and opened his hands to run towards a herdsman behind the Yuezhi people.

Hearing the familiar voice of a child, a young herdsman in the crowd struggled to run out from the Yue clan.

"Snapped!"

A whip sounded.

"Ugh!"

The young herdsman screamed, and a blood-red whip mark suddenly appeared on the thin clothes behind him, and he knelt on the ground with a ferocious expression.The deputy general held the riding crop in his hand and glared at him with disdain. Then he looked at the herdsmen in front of him and angrily shouted: "You ungrateful people, I took you away to save your lives. If it weren't for the fact that you are still valuable, just stay here with them and wait to be killed by the Qin army!"

The deputy general looked at him angrily and shouted loudly: "What qualifications do slaves like you have to choose?"

Seeing this scene, the surrounding herdsmen clenched their fists and wanted to rise up to resist, but they were afraid of the strength of these cavalry and could only suppress the endless anger in their hearts.

In the eyes of these Yuezhi cavalry, the lives of their herdsmen were not worth mentioning at all.

Those who stay will only be killed by the Qin army behind them.

Therefore, they can only choose to surrender unconditionally. In this troubled world, only alive can they be qualified to desire other things.

The young man lay on the ground, tears kept flowing from his eyes, and he kept beating the ground with his fists. He looked at the two people in front of him with despair. He knew that if he left, their family might never see each other again. It's up there.

Other herdsmen behind him stepped forward and slowly helped the young man on the ground up.

At this moment, a cavalryman came towards him and whispered to the deputy general: "Vice general, the food and grass have been hidden!"

The Qin army is now behind them.

If they bring all the grain, grass, cattle, horses and sheep in the camp, it will inevitably affect the marching speed, and they may even be overtaken by the Qin army behind them.

So before the camp leaders left, they asked them to hide the camp's food and grass and only take away the cattle, horses and sheep.

The deputy general nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand and said: "Let's go!"

The Yuezhi people rode their war horses and marched slowly forward, while the herdsmen supported the young people and followed closely behind them.

This is the life of their slaves!
From the moment they were born into a herdsman's family, they were destined to be inferior!
With bursts of crying and helpless roars, the group of people slowly disappeared from everyone's eyes.

The women, children and children who stayed in the camp walked out of the camp in twos and threes.

If they stay here, they will only die.

Whether it is other tribes or the Qin army behind.

After the woman knelt on the spot and sobbed, she stood up with despair in her eyes. She looked at the people in the camp who were gradually leaving. She took the child's little hand and walked aimlessly outside the camp.

For the mother and son, as well as the abandoned old, young, women and children, the fate of their mother and son was already doomed from the moment the young man was taken away by the Yueshi people.

at the same time.

In a ravine north of Fudang Mountain.

Yingjun held the reins of the Wuzui horse and frowned slightly as he looked at the empty camp at the bottom of the mountain.

A moment later, Zhao Yun came on a war horse and panted and said: "Lord, lord, I looked at the entire camp. There is no one left, neither herdsmen nor supplies."

Yingjun took a deep breath, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

This was not the first time they had seen this scene. They had seen four such empty tribes along the way.

If this continues, his mission of training [-] soldiers will be difficult.

But whether it is annihilating the Qiang clan or training soldiers, these are not what Yingjun is thinking about now.

There is a more serious problem than these.

Ying Jun had previously asked General Yan to send all the food and grass back to Qin, but they only left enough food and grass for the entire army to use for one day.

Zhao Yun showed a hint of embarrassment, looked at Ying Jun and asked, "My lord, our army is in need of food and fodder!"

"The army can survive for more than half a day even if it eats frugally!"
