With the increase of the territory of Qi and the vast border, the requirements for defense are several times higher than those of the once projectile land.

The northern barbarians, with the crackdown and differentiation of the Qi State for more than ten years, are now just surviving, and the Yang Qi people are snorting to survive.

Although Lingnan has an advanced civilization brought by the Qi people from the south, it has just come out of the primitive state and cannot become a climate at all.

After the recent war in the Western Regions, there will be no major wars for at least a while.

However, the plateau area has always been a problem for Yang Hao, although there is no too complex terrain, but the Qi people in the plain area are difficult to adapt to the low pressure there.

Yang Hao also organized a small army to try to conquer the plateau.

But in the end, he reluctantly retreated, and only symbolically made the barbarians near the Hexi Corridor surrender to him.

And now those barbarians suddenly rebelled and dared to torture and kill the railway inspectors of Qi State.

Within a month, more than a dozen inspection stations were destroyed and nearly 100 people died.

How could Yang Hao swallow this evil breath.

The day after receiving the urgent report, he ordered to send an army of 5,000 to attack the plateau, and there was no explicit prohibition on killing.

Everyone knew that Yang Hao was really angry this time, and the soldiers who went out on the expedition naturally knew what they were going to do.

This time they are not to conquer, but to take revenge, and the lives of a Qi people will be repaid at least with hundreds of thousands and barbarian heads.

The barbarians of the plateau did not know what terrible calamities they would bring to them because of the greed and arrogance of certain tribes.

In the spring of the tenth year of the emperor's reign, 5,000 elites took the train from Chang'an and rushed to the Western Regions with murderous spirit.

A few days later, thousands of troops arrived at the Qinzhou border town of River Valley, which was one of the main warhorse breeding grounds of the Qi state.

Here, the 5,000-strong army rode two horses and carried enough dry food for half a month, and attacked the plateau non-stop.

Their purpose this time was to kill and rob, without any logistical supplies, and the only way to grab the food and grass they needed after half a month was from the hands of those barbarians.

In late March, when the Qingtang barbarian tribes saw the Qi army's war horses coming, any prayers were useless.

They committed Yang Hao's rebellion, so these people were not even qualified to become prisoners.

Everywhere the Qi people passed, there were rivers of blood, corpses were everywhere, and the bloodlines of the tribes were completely cut off.

To deal with such a barbarian who has no fixed place, the Qi army has given up its inherent combat thinking.

What benevolence and morality are completely useless here, only the pistol of the gun, the knife in the hand, and the bloody head of the enemy are the only justice.

The indiscriminate slaughter, in just two months, made the plateau land a no-man's land.

And those barbarians on higher ground have already been in danger for a long time, facing the aggressive Qi army.

Even the most ferocious and savage tribes know what the devil is from hell.

These 5,000 Qi people are the devil who is wreaking havoc on this land.

The reputation of Qi people can already stop children from crying at night.

It's just that I don't know if those who attacked the Qi State Inspection Station will regret their original decision in the Netherworld.

In May, the weather in the plateau gradually warms up, as it goes deeper and deeper into the hinterland of the plateau.

Some of the Qi army had already suffered from altitude sickness.

In desperation, the army could only retreat temporarily.

But the goal of attacking the barbarians was not yet accomplished, and after leaving more than 1,000 soldiers with altitude sickness in the low-lying area, the rest of the people, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, continued to advance towards the hinterland of the plateau.

In June, hundreds of Qi troops attacked under the mountains, and in the face of a Qi army of only a few hundred people, the largest tribe on the plateau did not have a single enemy.

In the autumn of the tenth year, the Qi army scattered throughout the plateau successively met in the valley and escorted more than a dozen clan leaders back to Beijing to resume their lives.

This battle, the historical records of later generations are not detailed, but it is only roughly said how the Qi army defeated Yunyun, but later historians found it after years of research.

In that year, the Qi army invaded the plateau and almost slaughtered the natives of the plateau.

These historians are even more affirmative that Yang Hao is a veritable butcher of tyrants, a shameful genocidaire, who should be nailed to the pillar of shame of mankind.

However, these are the views of the minority after all, and in the universal views of later generations, Yang Hao is a god-like figure, and was once suspected of being a person who travels through the future.

However, this kind of remark is just a folk joke, and no one takes it too seriously.

It's just that the reality is far more cruel than in the history books, and a simple sentence in the book may cause hundreds of heads to fall to the ground.

The war against the plateau in the tenth year of the emperor was completely Yang Hao's anger in his heart.

The Son of Heaven was angry and ambushed millions of corpses, Yang Hao was angry, and there was no one for thousands of miles.

Listening to the killing in the past half a year, Yang Hao seemed very indifferent.

He felt that he had become very cold-blooded now, and that these lives seemed to him to be just ordinary numbers.

The death of more than 100,000 people, if it were a war in another time and space, this number of people might not be able to make the slightest wave.

But in this sparsely populated era, how many people can there be in the entire plateau area?

Yang Hao naturally knew in his heart, but for the sake of the dignity of the Qi State, any people outside the territory could be slaughtered.

Enter my Great Qi, I will treat it as a Qi person, serve me as a Great Qi, treat it as a minister, and return to my Great Qi, and the Qi people will be the most terrible devil in the world.

The land of thousands of miles is the paradise of the people of Qi and the hell of the enemy.

Those dozen barbarian leaders, Yang Hao asked them to cut off one of their arms, cut off one of their ears, and swore to submit to Daqi forever.

Two hard-boned barbarian leaders, who don't seem to fear death.

But this kind of behavior, Yang Hao, in addition to a little admiration, still ordered him to be shot to show respect for his courage.

After all, shells are more than a chip more expensive than bullets.

Looking at the shattered corpses that were bombed, the remaining barbarian leaders no longer had any hard words, not just an arm and an ear, if they were gone, they would be gone, at least they didn't have to die so terrifyingly.

These people Yang Hao generously sent doctors to treat their wounds, and after their injuries recovered, Yang Hao canonized these people as Tusi and managed the plateau area for Daqi.

And divide the plateau area into more than ten parts, and send a platoon of troops to garrison there.

At the beginning of the eleventh year of the Emperor's reign, the plateau land nominally belonged to the sphere of influence of the Qi State, but unlike those areas where the households were organized into Qi people, the actual control here was really a big burden for the current Qi State.
