Previous Chapter: Chapter 472 Rushing to Be the Wronged Boss Next: Chapter 474 You Can't Be Proud After Victory

One foggy morning, a Khitan shepherd boy was riding his foal as usual and went out to herd horses with his uncle, the Khitan camp with white fish belly has begun to take shape in the scale of the town, and many houses are permanently fixed, which is their biggest harvest from learning Hanmes, there is Hengye, Rainbow, all the way with you

The shepherd boy rode well, and the foal was very excited early in the morning, and he was soon driven to the pasture by man and horse, but he was stunned by what he saw.

His uncle and dozens of horses were lying in pools of blood, his face covered in blood, his throat had been slit not long ago, and he was still steaming. The shepherd boy was alert to the situation and turned his horse away.

An axe spun up from waist-deep grass and struck him directly in the back.

The shepherd boy lay in a pool of blood, dead and unsightly, and his beloved foal did not escape his fate, and was struck to the ground by an axe.

Unable to escape the doom were also thousands of Khitan old and weak women and children under the mountain behind him, and the Khitans did not accept the top-secret military information that Li Mao privately leaked to them, and still did nothing.

The people of Murowei did not heed Li Mao's advice, and left a glimmer of life on three sides of the siege to prevent the besieged enemy from making a desperate struggle. They came from all directions, thunderclaps, volleyed into the air, brandished all kinds of terrifying weapons and slaughtered into the Khitan camp.

A huge disaster befell the Khitans in eastern Liaodong.

The massacre lasted three days and three nights.

When Li Mao personally led the 3rd Division and the 1st Brigade of the 1st Division of the Andong Army to appear in Yu'er Mountain, there was no longer the slightest breath of life here.

The white fish belly settlement in size equivalent to a county town in the interior is now only black ashes, and the black crows are circling back and forth, and the noisy people are upset, and he is stationed on a mountain beam, not wanting to see the miserable scene on the other side of the mountain.

His allies did not understand his ambivalent state of mind, and not far from him was erected a wooden stake, on which was a human head, with its mouth open, its teeth pulled out, its mouth blurred with blood, and the left eyeball of the head pecked out by the crow, or because the taste did not match, the crow did not eat it after a hard time, and its gray and shriveled eyes drooped on his face, which looked a little funny.

Just as Li Mao was watching, a huge crow descended in the air, clumsily stopped on the person's head, rolled his strange eyes, and screamed, sharply warning Li Mao that this was his territory, and the sacred territory was inviolable.

Li Mao was tired of giving it a throwing axe, and the crow left a few black fishy feathers and fled in a hurry. Sugar hua updates quickly, the website page is refreshing, there are few ads, I like this kind of website the most, and I must praise it

It flew over the mountain beam noisily, causing even more noise, and bursts of black clouds rose into the sky, hitting Xuan'er, up and down. Li Mao's mount snorted uneasily, kicking the sand and refusing to move forward.

Li Mao abandoned his horse and stood on the mountain beam.

The wooden stake just now and the human head he was carrying were just the beginning, under his feet, all the way to the settlement in the valley, rows and rows of wooden stakes crisscrossed each other, and there was no end in sight, and the wooden stakes were full of Khitan heads.

The Murwei people showed off their spoils of war on wooden stakes and swept away the Khitans' livestock, gold and silver, sheepskins, grain, spices, salt, women, young children, and young slaves.

The headless corpse became a feast for crows, and this feast will continue for some time.

Andong sent troops to Baiyumai, although they got nothing, but they showed their hearts, Sprite Hua and Mengdun temporarily decided to let Li Mao go, and did not ask him to lead the crowd to attack the heavily defended Yu'er Mountain. Li Mao naturally couldn't ask for it, and before withdrawing the army, he ordered to bury the Khitans whose bodies were exposed in the wilderness as much as possible, and the bodies were sewn together in one place, and the size of the burial pit was the same as the Han system, and the ceremony was very grand.

Finally, an altar was set up, and Li Mao personally presided over the sacrifice.

The tragedy of the white fish belly is only one of many tragedies, and the nightmare of the Khitan people has only just begun. The resentment between the ethnic groups and the savagery of the Murwei people themselves were vividly demonstrated in the cleansing of the Khitan tribes, and after the massacre of Baiyumei Mountain, other Khitan settlements were uprooted one by one.

Except for the fact that most of the wealth of the Khitan people is concentrated in Baiyu'er Mountain, the wealth of other settlements is very small, and most of them are women, children, old and weak, so naturally they will not pose any threat to the Murowei people.

But the Murwei people wanted to cut down the grass and eradicate it, and they showed rare patience and care, uprooting one by one, razing the ground one by one, and exterminating all but young women and young children.

As an onlooker, Li Mao couldn't bear to look at it directly, what his allies had done had gone beyond the limits of being human, they were no longer human beings but a group of people dressed in human skin.

Li Mao angrily denounced and acted in a fit of rage, and he ordered the expulsion of the Murowei people who remained around Donggao Town, almost causing the two families to fight each other. Li Mao's actions were interpreted by the Murowei people as a woman's kindness, who interpreted Li Mao's order to withdraw halfway as cowardice and hypocrisy, and his expulsion of his allies from their homes as naïve and immature.

Now the six departments of Murowei are busy, and they are happy to see Li Mao so naïve, hypocritical, cowardly and immature.

Although the Khitans have a lot of wealth, who would think that they have too much money Li Mao did it himself, so let him die, and the farther he died, the better.

None of the generals in the army objected to Li Mao's unusual actions, and after witnessing this brutal killing, most of them had already seen the tragic future of the Murowei people, and they were determined not to cooperate with such allies again, and cut them as soon as possible.

In the middle of this month, the treasure of the cave of Yu'er Mountain was seized, and the three hundred Khitan Jingzhuang guarding the cave were skinned alive one by one by the Murwei people, and the people were thrown outside the cave and allowed the crows to eat.

Among them was Jerodron's eldest son, Jerodon.

Yeluao was regarded as the pride of the Khitan tribe in eastern Liao, and his wife, who was from the Yaoran clan and had a noble status, returned to her mother's home in the grassland when Yeludelong was preparing to march to Donggao Town, with the mission of convincing her father and brother to fully support the operation in eastern Liao.

Yaoran and Yelu are the two giants of the Diera Division, the two have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time, if Yelu Delong's actions in Donggao Town are not understood and cooperated by the Yaolin clan, there will be many sequelae in the future, and it is understandable to use his daughter-in-law to go back as a lobbyist as a buffer, but he didn't expect that his original unintentional move would help Li Mao a lot.

Yeluao's wife became the vanguard of the grievances of the Khitan tribe in eastern Liaodong. The mountain of catching fish was broken by the Murwei people, the white fish belly was slaughtered by the Murwei people, and her husband was skinned by the Murwei people, so this account should naturally be counted on the heads of the Murwei people.

When Li Mao returned to Donggao Town, he immediately ordered Yelushi and other Khitan captives to be taken out of the dungeon, and imprisoned them in a heavily guarded farm in Hexi with 70 other captives, all of whom were rescued from the Murowei people except Yelushi.

Most of them had been tied to stakes by the Murowei people, poured cold water and prepared to peel them, and were ransomed by Li Mao at the last moment before the knife was made, and Li Mao ransomed them as slaves because of the lack of labor in Donggao Town, and seeing that they were strong and capable of manual work.

In fact, as early as after capturing Yelushi, Li Mao had already changed his strategy, he ordered no more executions of Khitan wounded soldiers, no longer take the heads of Khitans to take credit, and reward soldiers who have the ability to capture the enemy.

Li Mao ordered the Khitan wounded to be healed, gave them clothes, gave them food, forbade them to be insulted personally, and did not treat them at all in terms of food and clothing.

Li Mao's second order when he returned to Donggao Town was to bury the thousands of Khitans who had died in battle according to their own customs, and then pay tribute to them according to the customs of the Han people, giving full respect to the warriors on the battlefield.

As soon as the offensive and defensive battle of Yu'er Mountain ended, Li Mao's envoy Qin Mo set off for the Khitan Diera Division, and the new era had arrived, and the Khitan was no longer an enemy, but an ally that could be used.

As soon as the corpses of thousands of Khitans were cleaned up, the Murowei people sent the booty that belonged to Li Mao: cattle and sheep, gold and silver, spices, women, young children, and young and strong slaves.

Although Li Mao did not participate in the final hunt, he was the advisor and important organizer of the hunt, and he should enjoy the spoils, of course, they were also a little selfish in the distribution of the spoils, hiding all the things they needed, such as salt, iron, grain, etc., and giving Li Mao a part of the more minor cattle and sheep, gold and silver, spices, and women.

The messenger reaffirmed that they were still an unbreakable alliance, and then when he had had eaten and drunk, he returned to his tribe with mountains of wealth and hordes of beauties waiting for him to return.

The cattle and sheep were all old and weak, and none of them could give birth, so Li Mao ordered them all to be slaughtered, one to reward the sergeants, and the other to be salted for the long winter.

Gold, silver, and spices were stored as monetary reserves, which were exchanged for supplies with other tribes of the forest.

Most of the women sent by the Murwei people are Khitans, and they also pick the rest, all of them are weak, and they think they are ugly, of course, according to the standards of the Murwei people, few women in the entire Donggao Town can be regarded as beauties, their aesthetic vision of women is very different from that of the Han people, and the remaining women who were picked by them are all slender, fair-skinned, with many melon seed faces, goose egg faces, double eyelids, their waists are thin and the buttocks are fat, and their bodies are bumpy and convex, and they look a little weak.

As for those beauties with healthy bronzed skin, a stout and healthy olive-shaped body, and ruddy cheeks, round faces and single eyelids, they naturally kept them for themselves.

The life expectancy of the steppe people is short, and the average age of the women who are considered to be old women by the Murowei people is less than 20 years old, and the vast majority of them have not given birth, which is naturally one of the reasons for the elimination.

Li Mao asked Qin Mo to prepare a women's battalion, first gather these women, there are many epidemic diseases on the grassland, many deadly germs, not the Han people who migrated from the mainland can resist, in addition, it is also necessary to kill their anger. Let them understand who caused their tragic fate today, and who rescued them from the sea of suffering.

After all this is understood, Li Mao will immediately fulfill the promise he once made.
