At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 64 Princess Requests Surrender
"Third, if you do not accept the surrender of this sinful girl, and slaughter the Xueyan tribe, not only will the soldiers and generals be lost, but also no other tribe in the entire grassland will surrender to you in the future."

"But when there is a war, no matter how big or small the tribe is, they all fight to the death."

“These are the three evils.”

Xiao Han raised his eyebrows: "Go on."

Murong Yi said: "If Your Excellency accepts the criminal girl's request for surrender, there will be three benefits."

"First, the sinner can gather the scattered soldiers and tribesmen of the Xueyan tribe and make them give up resistance, so the Xiliang army can avoid losses."

"Second advantage, the Xueyan tribe still has tens of thousands of soldiers who can fight and are ready to be dispatched by you at any time. There are also 100,000 old and young women and children who can herd cattle and horses. Given time, the children in the tribe will grow up and can fight for you."

"Sanli, I surrender to you. Your good name will spread across the grasslands. In the future, wherever the Xiliang Iron Cavalry goes, all tribes, big and small, will surrender upon hearing the news."

"Well said."

Xiao Han nodded slightly: "Your father Murong Chui is still fleeing westward, how can you gather the people of Xue Yan tribe?"

"The guilty girl is the princess of the Xueyan tribe. She has the king's seal in her hand, so she can do it."

Murong Yi knelt down and prostrated himself on the ground.

"can."

After a moment's silence, he nodded and said, "I agree to the surrender of your Xueyan tribe. I will give you three days to gather all the scattered Xueyan people and move east with me."

"My Lord, you are so kind and powerful, I submit to you."

Murong Yi stood up.

"Huluxu, take five thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry with you."

……

After Murong Yi presented the seal and surrendered.

Luanshi City also fell into the hands of the Western Liang Army. The soldiers of the Xue Yan tribe in the city were stripped of their weapons and armor and imprisoned in the inner city.

Xiao Han climbed to the top of the city wall and looked out at the grassland on the other side of the Shule River.

The sky was dark.

The night ends.

three days later.

Murong Yi led 20,000 to 30,000 members of the Xueyan tribe and thousands of strong men back to the camp at the foot of Mazong Mountain.

The Black Armor Army is responsible for guarding them.

The battlefield was cleaned up and the bodies of the Hu people were burned.

The Xiliang soldiers who died in the battle were buried at the foot of Mazong Mountain.

Here.

Not a foreign land.

From now on, this grassland will be incorporated into the territory of Xiliang.

The camp stretched for miles, with smoke rising from the air.

Xiao Han rode his horse around the camp before returning to the military tent.

"My lord, it's counted."

Lu Ju rushed in excitedly, holding a thick stack of rosters in his hands: "The people brought back by Murong Yi, plus the Xueyan tribe members we captured, total 120,000 people, including 8,000 young and strong men, all of whom are elite soldiers who can mount horses and fight."

"There are 30,000 children between the ages of eight and thirteen."

"That is to say, we only need a few years to draw tens of thousands of young and strong men from the Xueyan tribe."

"In addition, we also seized 200,000 cattle and sheep, 30,000 war horses, 100,000 taels of gold, 300,000 taels of silver, 3,000 sets of armor, and countless bows, crossbows, and furs."

"I've made a fortune."

Lu Ju was beaming with joy.

Compared with the gains of the Xiliang army, the casualties were not even a drop in the bucket.

"Tomorrow, have Liao Huan lead his men to send all the cattle, sheep, and valuables back to Xiliang City."

Xiao Han was in a good mood.

With this batch of wealth and war horses as support, Xiliang’s treasury will not be in crisis in the short term.

A horse will not be fat without night grass, and a man will not be rich without windfall.

My ancestors never deceived me.

He has already started planning for the future.

He recruited soldiers, trained weapons, crossed the Shule River, and defeated the three Shatuo tribes.

"Sir, Murong Yi requests to see you."

The guard came in to report.

"Sir, I will take my leave now."

Lu Ju winked, put down the list in his hand, and left quickly.

Just happened to pass by Murong Yi.

"The sinful girl greets the master."

Murong Yi bowed and saluted.

She seemed to have been dressed up, with delicate features. When she bent down, her towering breasts were exposed, and one could even vaguely see the top...very tempting.

Xiao Han's eyes looked at her unscrupulously.

Murong Yi felt the heat.

A little shyness appeared on her pretty face, but it soon disappeared. She even took the initiative to pull her clothes and let Feng... "Come over and talk."

Xiao Han waved his hand.

She stepped forward and knelt on her knees in front of the man.

She leaned forward. As a princess of the Tuoba tribe, she was used to being superior.

however.

At this moment, he had to bow down for his own future and the life and death of his people.

"what's up?"

Xiao Han raised his hand to pick up the teacup.

But Murong Yi took a step ahead, picked up the teacup with both hands and handed it to him.

Xiao Han took it.

"How do you want to deal with the Xueyan tribe?"

Murong Yi opened her red lips slightly.

“Move east.”

He said calmly: "Then they will be divided into many small tribes and used to raise cattle and horses for me."

Although she had thought of this possibility before coming here, Murong Yi was still a little dazed when she actually heard it.

"Don't you want to?"

Xiao Han took a sip of hot tea.

"willing."

Murong Yi smiled bitterly: "Winter is coming soon, and all the savings of the Xueyan tribe have been confiscated by your lordship's cavalry."

"Without cattle, sheep and hay, half of the Xueyan tribe members might not survive until spring."

"so?"

He narrowed his eyes.

"I want to borrow 100,000 cattle and sheep and 5,000 war horses from you, sir."

Murong Yi said: "Within two years, the Xueyan tribe will return 150,000 cattle and sheep, and 10,000 war horses to you, sir."

"not enough."

Xiao Han said: "I want 200,000 cattle and sheep, and 20,000 war horses."

"it is good."

Murong Yi gritted her teeth and agreed.

He leaned back in his chair and said calmly, "Murong Chui can no longer be the king of the Xueyan tribe."

"I need to select a new king from the Xueyan tribe and appoint him in the name of the court."

"Who do you think can take this position?"

"I."

There was a gleam in Murong Yi's eyes, and that was something called ambition.

If the Xiliang army had not attacked.

The most likely thing for her in this life is that she will be the princess of the Xueyan tribe, bearing the reputation of the pearl of the grassland, and finally marrying into a certain tribe for the sake of marriage alliance.

And now.

She felt that she must seize this opportunity and become the queen of the Xueyan tribe.

Although this king is just an empty title, he still has certain power.

"I don't care who is the king of the Xueyan tribe."

Xiao Han raised an eyebrow.

"The sinner knows."

Murong Yi raised her head and looked at him: "What the adults want is a dog, an obedient dog."

"And I, Murong Yi, will be this obedient dog from now on."

She stuck out her tongue and licked her lips.

"Will you kill Murong Chui?"

He asked jokingly.

"meeting."

Murong Yi didn't hesitate at all.

"Let me see how obedient you are."

He raised his hand and pressed down Murong Yi's head.

……

The army did not set out immediately.

He just let Liao Huan and Huluxu lead the Black Armor Army and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to escort the members of Xue Yan's tribe back to Xiliang.

Xiao Han took Lu Ju, Zhuge Shou, Chen Gong and Zhao Muli to stay in Luanshi City.

After so much difficulty in taking possession of the thousand-mile grassland, if we withdraw our troops now, we would be handing over this favorable situation to the three Shatuo tribes.

Build a city, you must build a city.
