My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 42 Dispute
"I have something to say, please listen carefully."

Lu Yi cleared his throat to suppress the noise in the tent.

Everyone stared at him quietly with bleary-eyed eyes.

"Now, the old slave has been destroyed, and my allies have won a great victory."

"But we can't just ignore the mess that Ang Riduo left behind."

Lu Yi took out the thick account book in his arms and passed it around. After reading it, everyone's face flushed with excitement.

Although Hexutuo could not read Chinese characters, Qiqige, who was disguised as his nephew, could read and translate the content into Xiongnu language to the former, which made the former stand up suddenly. His pale old face turned red in an instant. Lu Yi was afraid that the old man would choke and die in the tent due to excitement.

However, He Xutuoqiang took a few breaths and gradually recovered, which made Lu Yi, who had been paying attention to him, feel deeply regretful.

"The Zade tribe still has more than a thousand old and weak people, and tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses."

"If it is not handled properly, there will be great loss of life."

"Our allies should obey the will of heaven to destroy Ang Riduo, and should also follow the will of heaven to protect these captives and cattle and sheep."

As soon as Lu Yi said this, Huang Yi and He Xutuo immediately cheered up and responded to his selfless call.

"Brother Lu, what you said is right! I am not very knowledgeable, but you have spoken out what is in my heart!"

"Alliance Leader Lu's maturity and prudentness make me deeply admire him. This is as it should be!"

Lu Bu, Gao Shun and others also perked up and looked eagerly at Lu Yi who led them to a great victory.

After the battle, it’s up to him whether to eat meat or drink soup.

"Do you have any ideas on how to place the prisoners and supplies of the Zade tribe?"

Lu Yi took in everyone's expressions, but did not take the initiative. Instead, he sought advice from Huang Yi and He Xutuo first.

When Huang Yi heard Lu Bu's question, he was the first to jump out impatiently.

"To be honest, Brother Lu, my men suffered heavy casualties in this battle, with more than 20 good fighters killed."

"That's more than 20 seniors who have followed me for more than ten years!"

Huang Yi squeezed his eyes and found that there was no effect, so he stretched out his rough big hands and rubbed his eyes vigorously. He almost blinded his eyes, which were already red due to drunkenness, and barely squeezed out a few drops of horse urine.

"They risked their lives to follow me. If I don't take good care of them, am I still a human being?"

"Therefore, the pension, funeral allowance, and the old-age pensions for their parents, wives, and children must all be paid!"

After Huang Yi had performed his sad part enough, he immediately asked for a huge amount of money.

"No one here is an outsider. I am a straightforward person and I will say it straight. I want three million of the five million in goods."

"The more than 400 war horses captured in the other two battles should belong to Brother Lu, but I must get at least half of the 1,000 strong horses in this camp."

"As for the heads of the Zade tribe, there is no point in keeping them for me and Brother Hexu. Brother has taken a lot of responsibility for sending troops on his own this time. It would be better for you to take them away so that we can report to the emperor."

"As for the cattle and sheep..." Huang Yi looked at Hexutuo whose face had gradually turned blue, coughed, and changed the subject.

"The cattle and sheep are fine, but these captives have been following Ang Riduo for many years. Except for the young children, all the other men and women should be beheaded to serve as a warning to others!"

"As for the severed heads..." Huang Yi said this, with a rare blush of embarrassment on his dark face. He touched his head and chuckled, "Don't bother with the trouble of dealing with them. Just let me take them away as well." "General Huang's distribution is inappropriate, I think!"

After Huang Yi finished speaking, before Lu Yi expressed his opinion, He Xutuo stood up with a dissatisfied look on his face and refuted.

"In this battle, General Huang dispatched only a few hundred warriors, but my Hunye tribe came out in full force. All the young and strong men in the tribe went to the battlefield, and even the women, children, and the elderly went to the battlefield to contain the old thief's army."

"The loss of more than 20 warriors under General Huang is indeed a cause for regret, but everyone should not forget that the opportunity for this battle was created because my son was attacked and killed by the little thief Zador!"

"That little thief was so cruel and merciless that he not only massacred all 200 Hunye warriors under my son's command, but also barely saved my son's life. If it weren't for the great kindness of the leader, my father and I would have been separated by the Yin and Yang long ago!"

As Hexutuo was speaking, perhaps it really touched a sad spot, and two lines of hot tears immediately flowed down his wrinkled old face, which made Lu Yi, who was standing beside him, secretly amazed.

Putting aside other things, when it comes to crying scenes, this old guy is obviously much better than Huang Yi.

"My tribe suffered so many casualties. I feel that the distribution should be more focused on my tribe."

"My Hunye tribe doesn't need to take a penny of the five million in goods, and I don't need any of the horses captured by the Zade tribe. But as compensation, all the cattle and sheep of the Zade tribe should belong to my Hunye tribe."

"In addition, God is merciful. Although these captives of the Zhade tribe have been accomplices of the enemy for many years, now that Ang Riduo is dead, their debts are forgiven!"

"General Huang, if you execute them all without asking any questions, I'm afraid it would violate the etiquette of the Han people. You must know that killing prisoners is unlucky!"

"Therefore, why not hand these captives over to my Hunye tribe for strict discipline? I will make them spend the rest of their lives repenting for their sins!"

Lu Yi saw the whole quarrel between the two.

I immediately knew their true thoughts from their pretentious words.

In order to get promoted and pay tribute to Emperor Ling, Huang Yi refused to give up even an inch on these tribal leaders who could serve as military merits.

Apart from that, he only asked for money and horses, but he was not very interested in the Zade tribe's largest legacy, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep.

After all, although beef and mutton are delicious, staple foods are more palatable to the Han people.

In addition, with so many cattle and sheep leaving the grassland and without pasture for food, Huang Yi would not be able to take care of them all.

For Hesuto, cattle and sheep are the greatest wealth on the grassland.

To the Hu people, cattle and sheep are walking gold on the grassland.

They eat grass, but produce milk and meat.

Moreover, just like the Han people’s leeks, as long as they are properly cared for, they can reproduce naturally and can be harvested continuously by the Hunye tribe.

On the grassland, in addition to the standard hard force, the soft power of the number of cattle and sheep is used to determine whether a tribe is strong.

Therefore, Hexutuo was determined to obtain these tens of thousands of cattle and sheep.

Although it was impossible for the remaining captives of the Zade tribe to be recruited as soldiers to fight, they were familiar with herding and were very good serfs for the Hunye tribe, and their value was no less than that of cattle and sheep.

Not to mention that most of these old and weak ones are women, who can serve as the cradle for producing future warriors of the Hunye tribe and contribute a great deal to the prosperity of the Hunye tribe.

Therefore, Hesuto will try his best to capture these prisoners.
