Chapter 551: The Slaughter of the Yiqu People (Third Update)
"Where are we going now?" This is the question that Yi Qusheng asked Li Mu.
"Oak Yang." This is Li Mu's answer to Yiqu Sheng.
"What are you doing in Liyang?" Yiqu Sheng was full of puzzlement.
Li Mu turned his head and glanced at Yi Qusheng, his eyes seemed to be looking at a super idiot: "The Lord will speak, you just have to obey, where did you get so much nonsense?" β
Yiqu won and left.
He couldn't stand the grievance.
The advantage of cavalry lies in speed and durability, so in just three days, Li Mu has already led more than 20,000 cavalry to the outside of Liyang City.
Facing the tall city in front of him, Yi Qusheng's curiosity flared up again.
"How are you going to conquer it?"
Li Mu glanced at Yiqu Sheng in front of him with deep meaning: "I said it, I'm not an idiot, how can I want to use cavalry to attack the city like you." β
Yiqusheng became angry again at this moment, and turned around and left directly.
He still couldn't stand the grievance.
To be honest, Li Mu's awakened poisonous tongue ability made Yi Qusheng even have the urge to strangle him to death.
Just thinking about it, of course.
But even so, Yiqu Sheng was determined to see how this guy was at a loss in Liyang City.
At that time, Yiqu Sheng could laugh at Li Mu in turn.
It must be very happy to do so, and Yoshitsu is looking forward to that day.
Li Mu seemed to have discovered Yiqusheng's thoughts, so he quickly assigned him a task.
"You can start plundering Guanzhong."
"Huh?"
Li Mu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't you hate the people of the Qin State very much?" Then now General Ben will give you a chance to collect debts from the people of Qin. Within a radius of 100 miles, you could plunder any village or city of the Qin people. But you must remember that it is okay to rob money and food, or even people, but you cannot slaughter villages or cities. β
According to Yi Qusheng's ability to carry the bar that he had gradually cultivated over the past few days, he actually wanted to ask why he couldn't slaughter the villageβbecause he really wanted to do so.
In the past tens or hundreds of years, the Yiqu people often died village by village at the hands of the Qin people.
It's just that looking at Li Mu's shiny eyes that seemed to be flashing with some kind of strange light, Yi Qusheng was very wise not to ask this question.
In less than half an hour, Yi Qu Sheng roared away with the four thousand nominal Qu cavalry under his command.
Yiqu Sheng's desire to loot is very urgent, not because he likes to rob other people's things, but because if he doesn't rob, then his Yiqu tribe will not survive.
Don't forget, in Shuofang County of Zhao State, there are still tens of thousands of mouths waiting to be fed.
Zhao Dan had already informed Yiqu Sheng through Li Mu's mouth that as long as the Yiqu State was established, then the Zhao State would not give any food aid to the Yiqu State.
Yiqusheng is very confident about returning to China this year.
This means one thing, and the rations of tens of thousands of Yiqu people can only rely on Yiqusheng to figure out their own way.
It's already summer, and it's definitely too late to grow food, so what else can I do?
Only grab.
The more grain, cattle and sheep and even the population are grabbed, the more powerful the Yiqu country will become in the future.
So Yiqusheng led 4,000 cavalry and began to wreak havoc in the hundreds of miles of Guanzhong land from Liyang to Chongquan.
They are like four thousand hungry locusts of great size, who will devour all the crops and take all the food and many people worthy of slavery wherever they go.
Due to Li Mu's strict orders, Yi Qusheng did not dare to make a move to slaughter the village.
To tell the truth, Yiqu Sheng really wanted to do this, not only because of the oppression of the Yiqu people by the Qin people before, but also because in this great robbery, Yiqu Sheng saw the courage of the old Qin people.
It was this group of farmers and peasant women with ordinary farm tools who caused a lot of trouble for Yiqusheng.
These old Qin people vividly taught the Yiqu people one thing with their plows, stones, and even teeth, that is, not only swords, bows and arrows can be called weapons.
Almost every raid was a vicious battle, and each time it had to pay a dozen to dozens of casualties, which made Yiqu Sheng very angry.
Especially after every raid on the village, the Yiqu cavalry was killed by the old Qin peasant women who bit their throats with their teeth and even some unspeakable places, Yiqu Sheng strictly forbade similar acts.
In any case, after ten days and hundreds of casualties to successfully sweep the area carved out by Li Mu, Yiqu Sheng still successfully returned to the Zhao army camp outside Liyang City with a large number of people.
Li Mu greeted him with a strange face: "Do you know that you now have a very famous title?" β
"Famous titles?" Yiqu Sheng was stunned at first, and then he was happy: "Nicknames have always been something that only big heroes and warriors can obtain, tell me what it is?" β
"Yiqu people slaughtered."
Yi Qusheng was stunned for a moment, and shouted angrily: "...... This is slander! I obeyed the orders of your king, and did not slaughter the village, much less the city. β
Li Mu shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is not slander. The population of the villages that you plundered was more than half, and most of the rest were old people and children. β
Yi Qusheng sneered and said, "Young men are the ones who resist the most, so of course they die the most. The young woman is going to be a slave to us Yiqu people and give birth to children, so of course she will not stay. So isn't it normal to be left with the elderly and children? β
Li Mu looked at Yi Qusheng with a strange expression: "You are also a person who used to study in Xianyang, don't you know that this practice of yours does not conform to our Zhuxia's opinion?" β
Yiqu Sheng took a sip and said, "I'm from Yiqu, not Zhuxia!" β
Facts have proved that the education that Yi Qusheng received in Xianyang when he was a child, like the education that most people in later generations received in school, was basically returned intact.
Li Mu shook his head and said, "This is not the royal road, even if you grab more people in the future, your Yiqu Kingdom will not last too long." β
Yiqu Sheng laughed and said, "Then we have to wait for my Yiqu Kingdom to be established, and then talk about how long it will last." By the way, you've been surrounded by Liyang for so many days, and you've done nothing? β
Li Mu looked at Yi Qusheng with idiotic eyes: "Didn't you notice that when you were looting these days, there wasn't even a decent Qin army?" You don't really think that Bai Qi took 200,000 people to Hedong, and Guanzhong has no defense troops at all. β
Yiqu Sheng was stunned for a long time, and finally couldn't help but roar angrily: "You use me as bait? β
Li Mu laughed, his face full of a successful expression of trickery: "No one has eaten you, and you have also grabbed a large number of food supplies and women." β
Yiqu Sheng was stunned again, and when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was really the case.
"So General Li Mu, how many Qin people did you and your Zhao State cavalry ambush?"
"Actually, it's not much, it's just three Qin army troops...... It adds up to about 20,000. β
"So you don't plan to attack this Liyang City, so you continue to surround it, right?"
"Nonsense." Li Mu shook his head and said, "Liyang City will soon be in my pocket. β
When he said this, Li Mu's eyes were very bright.
To be honest, Yoshikyu hated this kind of fox-like eyes.
But I don't know why, when Li Mu, who had this kind of fox eyes, said such a very affirmative sentence, Yiqusheng couldn't help but believe it.
