Chapter 477: The road ahead is bleak

At the same time that the Xian army turned around and moved south, the 80,000 elite cavalry of the two regiments of Jin Xuediades and Mubart, together with the 100,000 auxiliary soldiers in the rear, lined up from east to west, stretching 2,000 from the ground, from north to south like a sieve, trying to find Baili Yan out of a certain corner of the Qianli grassland.

As the speed of the search to the south gradually moved away from the front line, the logistics support gradually showed fatigue, and they would not have thought that there was still no trace of the Xian army from 600 miles south of Jieping, so they waited in the same place, and further asked the barbarian king Brenduo, and at the same time divided their troops to search for the original road to the north, but it was still unsuccessful.

On the fourth day after the Xian army went south, they began to run out of food, Bailiyan ordered the slaughter of nine abandoned war horses to satisfy hunger, and after the fourth day, nine horses were slaughtered every day, and on the eighth day, the forest marked in the map was still not found, and spent two days in frustration, and found the "Langping" marked in the map on the eleventh day.

"Langping" originally means a wavy lawn, because the grass terrain is like waves from south to north, so it is named Langping. Langping is a forest-steppe landform, with interlaced forest meadows and a large population of deer living and reproducing.

Bailiyan ordered the killing of wild deer within a radius of 30 miles, and each group only killed 30% of the male deer in their prime, and not more than 10%, so as not to kill too many groups and exterminate them.

On the third day of deer hunting, when Bailiyan inspected the forest area, he found that there were wild barley scattered to the west of Langping Forest, and a large number of deer herds foraged here in groups, so he organized people to collect barley.

After staying for eight days and collecting barley, venison, deer skin, and firewood, the Xianjun army continued to march to the next coordinate point, Blackgill Lake.

Blackgill Lake is located in the south-west of Langping, it takes eleven days to ride a horse, after Heigill Lake, walk for another three days, and you will be out of the scope of the southern region map.

Blackgill Lake is named because the water color is black, resembling the gills of fish, surrounded by swamps and woods, according to the topographic map of the southern region, there are fish in the lake, and the forest produces blue camphor wood. This wood is an extremely valuable wood, shaved off the bark, the wood is light blue, has a strange fragrance, mostly grows near the swamp, once upon a time was a precious wood sought after by the powerful and wealthy.

This tree has strong adaptability, there is a temperate zone in the tropics, there is also a cold zone, it is difficult to find traces in the Central Plains, it is difficult to find a tree, only the Xiban and the Western tapir Yi and other tribes still produce.

Because of its remote location, the blue camphor wood produced in Heigill Lake often changes hands between Jinxuedi and Yuke, so the blue camphor wood in Heigill Lake has always been a monopoly industry of Yuke, so as to exchange funds from the Central Plains countries to raise funds.

The journey to Blackgill Lake was extremely smooth, and he did not find the advance base camp set up by the Jin Xuedi people in the Southern Regions, according to Figos, he arrived in Chenfeng in July last year, and took the middle line to the north. The Xian army was now on the western front, so it was impossible to run into the advance base camp of the barbarian army.

Every time the Jinxuedi people invade the south from the north, without exception, they take the middle line, because the altitude of the middle line is lower.

The entire Southern Plateau resembles the Twin Peaks, with roads on both sides of the peaks and roads in the middle, but the elevation in the middle is lower, like a plateau basin, with a relatively low altitude. The western route is also relatively low in elevation, but in winter, the snow on the western route is darker than on the central route.

As for the eastern front, the altitude was slightly higher, the weather was unpredictable, the meteorological conditions were harsh, and in July and August there were even snow and storms, which made the march more inconvenient.

When they arrived at Blackgill Lake, Baili Yan had a vague expectation that the Jinxuedi people might drive the captives of the Central Plains to cut down the blue camphor wood in the forest in order to transport it back to the mainland for profit.

The defenders numbered about 500 people, and Bailiyan annihilated them all with the method of attacking Citrus Lake at night, with more than 30 casualties.

Different from the previous Central Plains people, the Central Plains people rescued this time are all the second generation of Central Plains people after the Jin Xuedi people captured and escorted back to the mainland, and most of them are like the Jin Xuedi people, easy to obey and disperse, and there is no Central Plains style of clothing.

There are even three or four generations of descendants of the Central Plains, many of whom no longer speak the Central Plains, let alone know the Central Plains characters, this group of Central Plains people totaled more than 1,500 people, and captured one Jin Xuedi interpreter, more than a dozen Central Plains thieves.

The so-called Central Plains thieves are traitors of the Chinese, who actively betray their compatriots and exchange their personal benefits for their own personal benefits.

The thieves captured in the Central Plains this time are all three generations, four generations, or even five generations of Central Plains descendants, who have long believed in religion and have been assimilated by the culture of the Jin Xuedi people.

In his early years, Jin Xuedi took advantage of the huge advantage of the extremely high popularity of iron tools, and killed the Central Plains Dynasty several times in hundreds of years, and at most took away more than 1.5 million people in six years at most, which can be described as a loss of power and humiliation to the country.

The captive Central Plains people were strictly censored and isolated, and were divided into three, six, nine and so on, among which the craftsmen and literate people were incorporated into the academy of the Jinxuedi people to be transformed and used, and the rest of the people, except for the women who were a little beautiful, were all rushed into prostitutes and slaves, and were ravaged by the Jinxuedi people.

The rest of the men all served as coolies, farming and clearing land for the Jinxuedi people, mining and logging, and even a large number of Central Plains people were used as food and grass for domesticated beasts, and were thrown into animal cages and miserably eaten.

The Jin Xuedi people even implemented the "first night right" system in the ruling area, but all the women of the descendants of the Central Plains had to sacrifice the first night to the local ruler, even if they married a wife, they had to be called to serve as they were, which can be described as extremely enslaved and exploited.

The Jinxuedi people practiced a strict system of apartheid, strictly forbidding intermarriage, and those who found it were punished with capital punishment, and there was no toleration. In order to solve the pregnancy problem caused by rape, the Jinxuedi people forcibly fed the Central Plains women herbs that could cause lifelong infertility in order to exploit their flesh.

And through this cruel policy, the Central Plains people were divided internally, reported and exposed each other, and with the support of the Jin Xuedi people, a pro-Jin Xuedi thief class was formed, so as to divide and rule the Central Plains descendants, so as to completely disintegrate the last cohesion of the Central Plains descendants.

All kinds of atrocities are no different from beasts, Cao Chizheng, Mu Yu and others have been reluctant to mention the local affairs of Jin Xuedi, and now it seems that it is not that they do not mention it, but they cannot mention it, but they are afraid that after mentioning it, the army's morale will be shaken and the fighting spirit will be lost, and the country will have no face and no backbone.

Every so-called repulsion of the Jin Xuedi people is nothing more than the result of political propaganda, in fact, there has never been a fundamental and thorough solution to the southern border problem.

The Jin Xuedi people who were guarding Heigill Lake never dreamed that when their army was on the Northern Expedition, thousands of miles away, the Central Plains army would rush over and wipe them out.

Half of these people are second-generation descendants, who are influenced by their elders and still have feelings for the Central Plains and can speak the Central Plains, while the other three or fourth generations, or even five generations of the Central Plains descendants, have little emotion and cognition for the Central Plains.

It is understood that Jin Xuedi artificially stripped the descendants of the Central Plains from their dependence on the Central Plains culture, and adopted a strategy of killing the first generation of captured prisoners of the Central Plains.

After giving birth to and raising children, after reaching the age of 50, both men and women, were thrown into animal cages and killed, so as to eliminate the influence of the Central Plains culture on the second and third generations of the Central Plains descendants. In other words, it is a great purge of history and culture, in order to completely eliminate the will to resist and cultural inheritance of future generations.

In an agrarian society, the inheritance of culture all comes from the words and deeds of the elders, and the Jinxuedi people have a planned and organized way to eliminate the cultural inheritance, even if Bailiyan is a human being, it is difficult to believe that an agrarian feudal dynasty can master such a devastating policy that exterminates humanity, and it is difficult to imagine what a catastrophe this plague will be once it enters the Central Plains.

"These beasts, beasts! Even if the Nine Clans are annihilated, it will be difficult to snow this great shame! ”

Sikong Nan's eyes were full of anger, and the others were all furious, hating to kill Jin Xuedi and then hurry.

"If you kill it, you can't get rid of your hatred, how can there be such a ruined world in the world, is God really blind!" Su Hong cursed, he was undoubtedly the most sympathetic to the woman's tragedy.

Bai Liyan remained silent, shocked by Jin Xuedi's bad deeds, while he was also thinking about the meaning of continuing to go south.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our army has obtained enough food and grass here, and if we want to return it to the north, it is still too late. But I would like to ask you, are you willing to wash away this shame for the world and do the right thing for the common people! ”

"If you are willing, if you don't kill such thieves, how can you calm your heart and only hate!"

Bai Hedao, everyone else expressed their attitudes, Sikong Nan just agreed, and immediately regretted it:

"General, this place is at least four thousand miles away from the barbarian army Posong City, if our army continues to move south, it will be in the hinterland of the barbarian army, there is no way to retreat, the general has to think twice!"

"People live a breath, the sky fights for the light of day, and the people of the Central Plains can admit it by fighting in their own nests, but externally, they must have backbone! Jin Xuedi has killed my people for hundreds of years, plundered my population, raped my women, ravaged women, and all kinds of evil deeds are ten times and a hundred times better than the vassal states. Does Brother Sikong still have any objections! ”

Bai Li Yan gritted his teeth, hatred was incomprehensible, Sikong Nan had a hundred and 11 reasons, and when the public was angry, he didn't have the courage to go against Bai Li Yan's will.

"The last will obey."

"Well, from tomorrow onwards, except for Sisenke, the rest of Jin Xuedi will be killed, and no one will be left. The descendants of the Central Plains and women, regardless of generations, went on the road together. Distribute weapons to all the second-generation descendants of the Central Plains, and continue to go south after three days of repair, all the generals can understand! ”

"The last general will obey the general's order!"

Everyone spoke in unison, and the fighting spirit in their hearts ignited a raging fire under the noise of Baili Yan, and its momentum was unstoppable.

On the day of the capture of Blackgill Lake, the Xian army discovered that the Jinxuedi people had built temporary granaries and small pastures here for expenses. The garrison rotates once a year, and the descendants of the Central Plains rotate every three years, and there are prostitute camps to solve people's desires.

The last supply was half a month ago, and the granary still had about four months of military expenses, and now it is only enough for more than 3,700 people to spend for two months, but it is enough.

In addition, more than 700 horses and more than 200 unicorn horses were seized, and the size of the body made many soldiers of the Xian army who saw this horse for the first time amazed. Bailiyan studied for a long time, but the top of the horse's head only grew a horn of about one foot, the bottom diameter was about ten centimeters, and the horns were slightly pointed, showing grayish-white.

It looks like a horse, and after careful observation, Bailiyan came to a basic judgment that this is by no means a horse, but some kind of "dislike" animal similar to four, six, and ten.
