Chapter 18 The New Boss
"Lord, it's time to kill now!" Ding Li stood up from behind the cover with excitement, looked at the Wuwan people running away in a panic, and waved the sword in his hand fiercely.
"Don't worry." Ye Zhao shook his head: "My soldiers are all treasures. Not to mention three thousand Wuwans, I feel like I'm losing one after another for 30,000 Wuwans, so I'll continue to shoot arrows! In addition, find someone who understands Wuwan's words and I'll call you later."
"Here!"
Under Ye Zhao's suppression, the soldiers hiding on the Aoshan Mountain did not kill them, but continued to run along the Aoshan towards the pass while firing arrows.
Although the Wuwan people have lost their courage, even if they have suffered consecutive setbacks, the number of people is several times or even dozens of times that of Ye Zhao. It is unwise to go in at this moment.
On the cliff on one side of the pass, Guan Hai had ordered people to use falling rocks to block the pass. Seeing that the Wuwan people sent people to clean up, they gave orders and countless rocks fell down, smashing the Wuwan warriors who wanted to clear the pass and flew everywhere.
Ye Zhao brought his men to the pass, and the arrow cluster never stopped. However, the number of people between the two sides was too big, so even if they suffered consecutive setbacks and their morale was low, the Wuwan people still had an absolute advantage in terms of number of people, but their morale had been lost, so this advantage might turn into a disadvantage.
"Stop." Ye Zhao waved his hand, and the soldiers quickly stopped shooting arrows. The chaotic people might not have noticed it, but Ye Zhao had already discovered that the strength of the arrow clusters shot by the soldiers had begun to decline, and the range and frequency were also constantly decreasing. The soldiers' physical strength had begun to be lost. If they were shot, the opponent would not die. These people would be exhausted first.
"Go!" Ye Zhao turned his head, looked at the commoner who was proficient in Wuhuan's speech, and said in a deep voice: "Don't lose the majesty of my Han family. After this battle, I will be rewarded with great rewards."
"Here!"
After agreeing, he quickly came down from the mountain and shouted at a group of Wuhuan people in Wuhuan language: "All Wuhuan warriors, my lord has something to say."
Looking at a group of Wuhuan people who gradually calmed down, the man said loudly: "You are now covered by my horse city, but you are still as prosperous as you are today. However, you are not grateful, but you are coming to my city. Originally, my lord wanted to catch you all in one place. However, God has the virtue of life. It is not easy for my lord to think about you and others. Moreover, today's affairs were also instigated by traitors, so I was prepared to open my side and only kill the evil ones. Moreover, my lord said that those who kill Aguli's head will continue to be covered by my horse city. Not only can you continue to trade in my horse city, but you can also pay a hundred stones of food."
Many people from Wuhuan heard this and looked at Aguli with bad eyes. The man continued, "Before noon, if you can't hand over Aguli's head, then my lord will no longer show mercy. Where can I go? I hope all the warriors will think deeply."
After saying that, he ignored the reactions of the Wuwan people and turned around and returned to the Aoshan. Ye Zhao also asked everyone to hurry up and rest. If these Wuwan people were not provoked, they would probably have another fight.
However, Ye Zhao obviously overestimated the cohesion of the Aguli tribe. After all, Aguli's tribe has only risen in recent years. Many people in the tribe were stolen from other tribes. They were forced to act rashly due to Aguli's intimidation, but now they are in a desperate situation and are so inspired by Ye Zhao, many people's eyes on Aguli become bad.
"What do you want to do?" Aguli looked at the eyes of these people, shocked, and quickly took a few steps back. The confidants around him hurriedly protected Aguli, but in this way, it was a sign of weakness. The momentum of the Wuwan people, who were still a little hesitant, suddenly increased as Aguli retreated.
"Kill him!" In the crowd, who was unknown, let out a loud shout, and a sharp arrow shot one of Aguli's close friends, which also kicked off the internal strife.
"kill!"
On the short mountain, looking at the warriors who were still robed not long ago, but now they are fighting together as if they have an irreconcilable hatred. A hint of amazement flashed in Qiu Chi's eyes, and turned his head and bowed deeply to Ye Zhao, "The Lord, the gods are a clever plan, I will accept it."
"This person doesn't know how to advance or retreat." Ye Zhao found a bluestone and sat down, looked at the good show below, shook his head and said, "I was angry and raised an army, and I relied on my bravery. Although the number of people is heavy, people are different. I can still kill the enemy together with the trend. However, once I encounter setbacks, I will become a mess. This person is undefeated, where is the law of nature?"
It is not a temporary idea to deal with Aguli. As early as when he was dormant in Macheng, Ye Zhao had already studied Aguli's power and naturally knew the shortcomings of Aguli's power. Otherwise, no matter how confident it is, it would be impossible to compete with hundreds of people with three thousand cavalrymen. If you are not careful, you will easily be killed, and the risk is too great.
"The lord really wants to cooperate with the Aguli tribe?" Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao carefully: "I am worried that I will repeat the same mistake."
"It still needs to be used. After this battle, the Aguli tribe was greatly damaged. It was the weakest time. Even without them, we still have to do this war horse transaction. Instead of raising another wolf, it is better to continue to use this sick wolf. However, we should learn from the past. After the horse city stabilizes, contact several more tribes, Xianbei people, Xiongnu, and Wuwan people, and let them fight by themselves. Only when they fight can the horse city prosper." Ye Zhao said with a smile.
"The lord is far-sighted, and it's not too late." Qiu Chi's eyes flashed with excitement when he heard this. If this is true, this Macheng is not only not a dangerous place, but a treasure pot!
"Don't talk about these empty people, I'll send someone to count the war horses later, keep what can be used, and make the meat cubes that cannot be used. After this battle, the horse city needs to increase some troops." Ye Zhao said with a smile.
He has a school organization, but now there are only less than 200 people, and there are not many things he can do. After this battle, he will gradually complete the school organization and have the army in hand to better deter these Hu people.
"Here!"
As the two talked, the war below became more and more intense. Several arrow clusters of arrows had been inserted into Aguli. He still couldn't figure it out. He was originally coming to find Ye Zhao for bad luck, but in the end he started fighting with his own people for no reason?
"You are crazy!" Aguli killed a former confidant warrior with one sword. Looking at the group of Karasuma warriors who were rushing up with red eyes, fewer and fewer people stayed by him and fought with him at this moment. An endless feeling of aggrievance arose in his heart and roared at the people around him.
"Swish~"
A cluster of arrows pierced Aguli's throat. Aguli glared at his eyes, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, his hands pressed against his neck, with a strong unwillingness in his eyes.
"Puff puff puff puff puff~"
In just this moment, several blades stabbed into his body. The burly body kept trembling. His eyes were staring at the low mountain. An ingenious Karasu warrior came to him. The surrounding Karasu people retreated independently. Then he saw the Karasu warrior groaning, raising his sword and cutting off Aguli's head.
Seeing Aguli's death in battle, Aguli's close confidants gradually stopped resisting. The Karasuma warrior picked up the head from the ground, strode out of the crowd, stepped deep and shallowly on the sinking horse pit on the ground to the foot of the low mountain, threw Aguli's head to the ground, knelt on one knee, and clenched his fist in front of his chest.
Ye Zhao stood up from the bluestone and walked out of the bunker to the foot of the mountain. Looking at the man from the Karasubata kneeling in front of him, Ye Zhao reached out to help him up and smiled and said, "Arrow technique is good, what's your name?"
"Sir, I am willing to be loyal to you." Said Diba in a rash Chinese.
"Very good, we Han people pay attention to making a promise. From today on, you will be the leader of this tribe and can continue the previous trade. It's just that I hope that Aguli's affairs will not happen again." Ye Zhao looked at the Warrior of the Karasuma in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.
"As long as the adults give their orders, Jutu is willing to lead the tribe to naturalize." Jutu said in a deep voice.
"It's good to have this kind of heart, but if you want to be naturalized, not everyone can do it. You need to prove your value first." Ye Zhao was very satisfied with Jutu's attitude, but he could not agree to naturalization. Once he experienced this defeat, Jutu's tribe still has a population of more than 6,000. If he was enrolled in Macheng at once, the administrative pressure on him would inevitably increase greatly. Moreover, Macheng's garrison power is weak. Once he enters the city and attacks, even Ye Zhao will not be able to suppress it in a short time.
"Please make it clear!" Judou bowed.
"Macheng needs a population, a lot of people. I heard that there are many Han slaves on the grassland. I, Macheng, are willing to exchange salt and iron. In addition, women and children can also call you. In addition, war horse business must continue. However, in the future, we can exchange weapons and grain. When the population of Macheng exceeds 10,000 households, I will not only allow your tribe to naturalize, but also be appointed as an official for you and let you be a general." Ye Zhao said with a smile.
"Thank you!" Judou bowed to Ye Zhao.
"Take your people back." Ye Zhao glanced at the surviving Wuwan people in the distance and smiled: "Be careful of being attacked by someone."
"Yes, Diutu left." Diutu performed a grassland etiquette to Ye Zhao again before directing people to start cleaning the pass.
Guan Hai received Ye Zhao's order and had already come down from the pass. Ye Zhao asked Meng Hu to command the people who followed him to start cleaning up the battlefield, burying the horse pits, collecting the dead war horses, and then transferring wooden carts from the city to start transporting the bodies of the war horses. As for the bodies of the Wuwan people, in order to avoid the plague, Ye Zhao asked someone to bury them on the spot.
