The mutton fat torches were beeping and burning, and the lights and shadows in the tent were bright and dark.

Guo Yang's face was ugly, chewing the meat slowly, drinking wine, and frowning.

"Guo Yang, don't worry too much, as far as I know, Yanzi escaped in that military disaster, and I basically brought out the business and people you left me." Duanmu Niu sat opposite Guo Yang, his voice quite low.

"I regret it, I didn't expect that the Zhou people were so shameless that they found an excuse to directly destroy the Nanyan Kingdom." Guo Yang said astringently.

"It's not to destroy the Southern Yan Kingdom, but to eradicate the traces of merchants. All the vassal states with developed commerce and trade have suffered blows to varying degrees, some have destroyed the country, and some have supported those who value agriculture and suppress commerce to ascend to power, in short, they are determined to eliminate the traces of merchants. Duanmu Niu said.

"The Zhou people were originally barbarians from the northwest, and once they integrated into the farming tribes, they actually became more hostile to the merchants, which was something that everyone never expected. It's ridiculous that those vassal states that fully supported the Zhou people to destroy the Shang Dynasty back then are now dumbfounded! Guo Yang pinched the wine lord and said with a wry smile.

"Let them toss, when you leave, hand over that big business to me, to be honest, I also thought about doing a career, becoming the biggest businessman in Luoyi, following the teachings of Uncle Guo and my father Duanmu car, the business of the world, for the benefit of the people. Hehe, I didn't expect it, I almost got my life into it. ”

Duanmu Niu also smiled bitterly, took a handful of wine, and drank it all.

The atmosphere in the tent was very dull, making people breathless, Ah Jiu and Ah Mu couldn't stand it, so they walked out directly and took a big breath, only then did they feel a little less stuffy in their chests.

The Zhou people took a set of so-called Heavenly Dao to the extreme, as if something could be explained, solved, and even predicted with that set of things.

The traces of merchants were quickly erased, including the world of merchant houses, which were even more suppressed.

The Zhou people went directly from the semi-nomadic tribe to the core of the farming tribe, holding high the banner of the Heavenly Dao, and swept away the miscellaneous pieces that did not conform to the Heavenly Dao.

Guo Yang has no complaints about these, and even thinks that Zhou people may have actually done a good thing that conforms to the hearts of the people. After all, the Zhou people abolished a large number of inheritances that Guo Yang hated in terms of face, such as blood sacrifices, human sacrifices, etc.

But he just couldn't figure out why he had to be cornered when it was clearly conducive to the development of commerce?

Of course, he fled into the grassland, and these bullshit things basically have nothing to do with him, even if the Zhou people wrapped them up with a tall wall, Guo Yang didn't care.

The only thing he was worried about now was the swallows.

The Southern Yan Kingdom was trampled to the ground by the strong army of the Zhou people, half of the people were beheaded, the rest were sold into slavery, and the royal blood relatives were completely cleansed.

Swallow......

Guo Yang regretted it, thinking of the brutal guy who beat him to the head with one punch, his heart tightened.

Back then, Guo Yang insisted on letting her stay in Nanyan Kingdom and let her inherit the throne, which made Guo Yang regret so much that he wanted to slap himself twice.

The matter has come to this point, since she fled after being seriously injured, with her strength as a half-hung cultivator, if there is no Xuanmen cultivator involved, she should still be able to save her life.

After thinking about it, Guo Yang sighed and finally buried this matter deep in his heart.

After solving the gang of miscellaneous things in Yan Kingdom, while sending people to find the whereabouts of his mother Guo Ye, he actively prepared for the battle to kill the jackal dog Agoura and rescue Naren Toya, he had to go out.

He estimated that after Yanzi escaped from the farming tribe, she was most likely to go to find her brother Wuhuan.

He took out a piece of cloth, wiped his hands with grease, took out a parchment map, and began to look at it.

Duanmu Niu looked at Guo Yang's appearance, a little worried, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to drink the wine slowly.

……

Sleepless nights.

The sky was numb, Guo Yang finally walked out of the tent, he rubbed his swollen eyebrows and temples, and looked to the east.

Duanmu Niu followed, stood beside Guo Yang, and was silent.

"Cow, do you remember those tortoise shells back then?" Guo Yang asked suddenly.

"Remember, didn't Uncle Guo take it away?" Duanmu Niu said with a smile.

"You say, what is good and what is evil?" Guo Yang asked.

"I don't know. I thought I knew, but after so many years of fighting in Luoyi City, I didn't seem to know. Duanmu Niu said with a wry smile.

"Niu, you have lived in the city of the Zhou people for many years, what kind of thing is their Heavenly Dao?" Guo Yang asked.

"A set of order, circular, an order that can be explained clearly to each other." Duanmu Niu said with a deep groan, not very sure.

"What else?" Guo Yang asked.

"And ...... It's sleek, it's big, it sounds all-encompassing, the relationship between heaven and earth, the relationship between the Son of Heaven and the princes, the relationship between the adults and the villains, the relationship between the gentleman and the despicable people, anyway, they can all have a set of rhetoric. Duanmu Niu said.

"Is there a god under their heavenly way?" Guo Yang asked.

"I don't know." Duanmu Niu said.

"Are there ghosts?" Guo Yang asked.

"I don't know." Duanmu Niu said.

"Is there a demon?" Guo Yang asked.

"Guo Yang, don't ask, I know a lot, I really can't answer your question." Duanmu Niu smiled bitterly.

Guo Yang smiled and said, "Actually, I know you don't know, I'm asking myself." ”

Duanmu Niu choked and said with a smile: "You kid, when did you become so powerful!" ”

"I'll be even more powerful, Niu, look at it, how can I teach those miscellaneous people in Yan Kingdom in a few days." Guo Yang gritted his teeth and said.

Duanmu Niu took advantage of Li Min's dim light, looked at Guo Yang seriously, and sighed secretly.

Guo Yang used to be timid, cautious, cranky, pale, and looked sluggish all day long, and people in Lijiamen Village said that Guo Yang was a sheep.

However, the world is unpredictable, after so many years of experience, Guo Yang has suffered too much hardship and suffered too many sins, and finally forced a lamb who dreams of meekness, auspiciousness and wealth every day into a complete wolf.

Or, scarier than a wolf.

"Yang, on the way I came, I saw the strength of the Yan cavalry, and I should not underestimate the enemy." Duanmu Niu said.

"Well, they're very powerful, but I'm better than them." Guo Yang said indifferently.

"They have cavalry, chariots, shieldmen, and in addition, they are also equipped with strong crossbows, and in less than a year, they have swept through the land of Liaodong, and they are a fierce enemy." Duanmu Niu was still a little worried, for fear that Guo Yang would be too light on the enemy and suffer losses.

Guo Yang nodded slightly, but didn't say anything, turned around and said a few words to Ah Jiu not far away, and let Duanmu Niu bring a war horse.

"Sheep, I brought the whole of the people you left over there, how to settle them." Duanmu Niu asked.

"Let them follow the army and see the battle first. This dog's world doesn't need caravans, only cavalry and knives, then it becomes cavalry and knives. Guo Yang said with a smile.

Although Duanmu Niu had also experienced some experience, after listening to Guo Yang's cold words, his body was cold, and he involuntarily shrank his neck.

This kid is simply a knife.

……

The army marched according to plan, and soon crossed the Great Mountain Range and entered the land of Liaodong.

First there were seven or eight days of grassland, then five or six days of desert, and then a large area of wasteland that had been reclaimed by the Yan people.

That Yan prince Ji Ke was really a good means, let his army sweep away those scattered nomadic tribes, and at the same time successively relocate those criminals, descendants of merchants and civilians who settled in the past, settled on the spot, fabricated household registration documents, and forced these people to reclaim wasteland.

Half of the income from the newly reclaimed wasteland fed the army, and the other half went to the landowners.

It was a good idea, and it was tempting for those who had migrated here, so everyone and every family worked hard to clear the land and start raising livestock.

However, when there was a harvest in the fields, everything changed.

The generals of those armies not only increased the proportion of their troops, but also brought their own relatives and friends, and divided the spoils on the spot, and became slave owners, while those who opened up the wasteland were all reduced to slaves.

There were also some resistances, mainly those who were broken down and civilians, unwilling to become slaves, so they carried out a series of struggles, but they were directly trampled into pulp by the Yan cavalry.

As for the descendants of the criminals and merchants, they simply did not dare to resist, and consciously put on shackles and handcuffs and lived in the cattle pen.

Guo Yang's army began to march in hiding.

Along the way, all the soldiers and nobles were killed, and their property was looted. The slaves were organized into a special contingent and followed closely behind the army under the watchful eye of a small group of cavalry.

There is a shortage of people on the grassland, and Guo Yang plans to get these people to the grassland, so that they can become craftsmen and produce various equipment for the army.

Along the way, he also passed through some small villages, Guo Yang did not let any of them go, as long as they were nobles, no matter how big or small, they were all executed.

Because no one escaped, the army unknowingly touched the vicinity of the Hutai camp.

In a rather wide mountain col, Guo Yang hid the army and took Anu, Ajiu, Amu and others to conduct a field survey of the nearby terrain and landforms.

Duanmu Niu followed all the way, listening to Guo Yang and his thousand-squads and centurions discuss, but also gained a lot of knowledge.

"The col of the Tun army is a good place to ambush, hide all the horses according to the plan, and send a hundred-man cavalry team to seduce the Yan people, remember, don't be strong, don't be weak, fight and retreat." Guo Yang stood on a high ground and said in a deep voice.

"Young master, those Yan State troops are not concentrated enough, according to the information sent by our people, this Hutai battalion is mainly their light cavalry. Chariots and hoplites were not here. Anu frowned and reminded.

"Well, I know, so, this time it must be a war of annihilation, and we will definitely not let a single person or horse get out alive." Guo Yang said coldly.

"Yes!" They took the command and went their separate ways.

Responsible for luring the enemy deep is Ah Jiu, he doesn't look like a bad guy, and he is cautious and cunning, Guo Yang is more at ease.

"Sheep, our cavalry only has whips and knives, and even if they are light cavalry, those Yan troops are protected by armor, and bows and arrows and ordinary knives are not easy to use." Duanmu Niu said with some concern.

"Niu, you can drink with me." Guo Yang smiled, turned on his horse, and headed towards a nearby hill.

Duanmu Niu looked at Guo Yang's confident appearance, and he couldn't say anything more, so he had to ride a horse to follow.

The hill was not far from the col where the ambush was held, and the wonderful thing was that there was not a single tree on it, and the view was very open, and the grass one or two feet deep was just enough to serve as cover, and even if they sat there and drank, the people below could not see them.

Guo Yang took out two leopard skins, a small pear blossom wood table, carried two bags of mare's milk wine, and a plate of mutton slices, sprinkled with pepper and salt, which is the best in the world.

"Cow, come on, come on, drink." Looking at Duanmu Niu, who was restless with a probe probing his brain, Guo Yang said with a smile.

"Sheep, no, I've never seen a battle between cavalry and cavalry." Duanmu Niu sat down with a wry smile and asked with a side face.

"I don't know if it's going to work, this army is also the first time to fight a serious battle." Guo Yang said with a smile.

"First time...... Fight? Didn't you kill nearly 10,000 of the allied forces of the vassal states? Duanmu Niu's face turned green.

"That time it was a trick, taking advantage of the right time and place, a rain bubble to soften those crumbs, and then find a way to hold them back, until a snowstorm froze the dogs half to death, and then ...... We didn't fight much, and the wild wolves and jackals of the steppe ate them all. ”

Guo Yang was really telling the truth, it sounded like the results were brilliant, but in fact, they had never confronted each other head-on at all.

Duanmu Niu glanced at Guo Yang, and looked at the cavalry in the mountain col, a little depressed.

He ran all the way, imagining that Guo Yang had become a little overlord on the grassland, who expected, this guy looked loose and sloppy, a little unreliable!

Especially looking at those cavalrymen with unkempt hair, dirty sheepskin robes, and all of them with circle-legged legs, Duanmu Niu suddenly felt a little empty in his heart.
