Chapter 208: Amazing War Dividends

The patrolling brute raised his head in astonishment, and before he could recover from the strange enemy, the arrows he shot instantly pierced through the fragile neck, and blood sprayed high. fโ†— top fโ†— point fโ†— small fโ†— says, โ–ฝ.23 โ†‘ x.netbsp; The silent night is broken, and the shadow of death instantly envelops the peaceful city.

A master craftsman was clutching the arrow wound and vomiting blood, his lungs were badly damaged, and every breath would bring out the blood surging from the pulmonary arteries, grasping the alarm bell and shaking desperately, a sharp arrow took away his power and fell softly.

Bell Bell ......

The sentry in the distance finally sounded the alarm bell, and the bell hammer rang the melodious bell, and the quiet Yelang Wang Du fell into a panic for a moment.

"Han Army! The Han army is coming! โ€

The wolf bรจi's Yelang brute ran desperately into the street and shouted, and suddenly fell to the ground with a pain in the back of his neck.

Next to the corpse was a golden torch, a flaming red military uniform, which was the armor and robes of the Han elite soldiers, the Chu people were still red, and the Han army was red.

In the darkness of the night, a dragon of flames passed through the streets, and the brilliant flames illuminated the silent city like flowing lava.

"Han Army, why Han Army?" The barbarians in the city continued to wake up, watching the flow of people like red magma flow slowly, they almost couldn't believe what they saw, they remembered that the weak Han people had clearly fled, and the location of Wang Jing who suddenly appeared in Yelang Country was incredible, could it be that the king of Jinzhu with hundreds of thousands of barbarians attacked Shuzhong is a fist, and the main force of the Han army was wiped out by accident.

The barbarians were frightened, and in the middle of the night, the darkness in the city was not real, and the barbarians did not know the troops sent by the Han army. Ring the alarm bell and flee to the inner city.

Ha Rong, the defending minister of Yelang Country, hurriedly got up, pushed away the barbarian concubine who was blocking the way, and shouted: "My armor, my clothes, and my weapons are all brought here, I want to see which bastard ate the bear's heart and leopard guts to sneak attack our Yelang Kingdom!" โ€

"Oh no, no! The Han army broke the four gates and approached the palace city very closely. โ€

"Fuck you shit! Those who disturb the hearts of our army should be beheaded! โ€

Haron drew his iron knife and slashed it backhanded, and the messenger who delivered the message was separated, and the servants and slaves were afraid to move a step, and the fierce Haron was like a jungle bear with infinite strength. It is known for its brutality and thirst for killing, and it is known in the tribes of Southwest Yi. No one dared to reason with him.

The barbarians patrolling out of the courtyard city jumped around like headless flies, and Ha Rong raised his iron knife and slashed a few people in a row, shocking the hearts of the army, and shouted: "Don't be stunned to line up in formation and fight back, if you can't hold the royal city, don't want to live!" โ€

The brutes were afraid. Cowering and rearing up the formation, they were instantly defeated by several sharp arrows. The armor of the brute soldiers is mainly bamboo and wood. The oilcloth-wrapped rockets were unresisted, and several unlucky people were surrounded by flames and bounced and burned to death.

"The Han army is here, everyone run!"

The rest of the brutes were frightened. Dropping his weapon and hugging his head, Ha Rong continuously slashed and killed the routs but couldn't stop the collapse of the situation, scratching his ears and cheeks in a hurry, and yelled: "All those who can fight will move for me to stop the despicable Han army!" โ€

Before the barbarians could respond, he was answered by a powerful fatal arrow, and Haron's body shook from side to side like catkins in the wind, covering the wound in his abdomen and falling with a pale face.

The crimson Han army passed past him, and Ha Rong lay on the ground and looked at the red figure with his eyes lost, and he felt extremely desperate.

Suddenly, he saw the ironclad general walking from the red-armored man, his armor style and color were completely different from ordinary Han soldiers, and he finally saw his appearance clearly under the reflection of the firelight, it was a young man who was less than twenty years old, and the corners of his mouth were filled with a happy smile.

He smiled.

Leaning down gently, like a good friend who has not seen him for many years, he patted Ha Rong's shoulder, with a gentle smile on his face, and whispered to Ha Rong affectionately: "Yelang barbarians, arrogant, self-sufficient, Yelang people must pay the price of blood for arrogance, you are the first victim, but by no means the last, I promise to let your people live in misery, this is the end of doing against our Han people." โ€

Haron trembled, his smile was like a demon's smile, and he trembled and pointed at the ironclad general and roared, "You...... You devil! โ€

"Nope! I am the messenger of the Taiyi God, the messenger who brings the good wishes of the Taiyi God for peace and stability, the era of the annexation of the Southwest Yi countries is about to become a thing of the past, and you will become a proud Han man in the land of the rising sun like me, are you excited? It doesn't matter if you're not excited, your children will be proud of your right choice, they don't have to suffer for a precarious life, Nananyi is a Chu person, and once a Qin person, and now it should be a Han person. โ€

Harong's eyes flashed with horror: "What...... What's the right choice? โ€

"Dead! The stubborn old school is dead, and all that remains is the new humanity who supports the fusion, and they will be sincerely happy for your death, so go in peace! I will set up an inscription for you to commemorate your courage to sacrifice yourself in exchange for the opportunity to safely merge the Yelang Kingdom into the Han Empire, what a beautiful prospect, have you been moved? โ€

Poof!

The arrows were pulled out.

Ha Rong held his injured lower abdomen and struggled in pain, bleeding more and more, his lung lobes were like a broken bellows, every time he breathed, he struggled with all his strength, and his bloody right hand grabbed the skirt of the ironclad general: "You...... You evil ghost in hell, you want to destroy the country of Yelang, I hate you! โ€

"I prefer a long-term peace to an endless war, the existence of the Yelang country hinders the long-term peace, we can't allow a country with 100,000 armor on the border to save it, whether he is restrained or crazy, I didn't want to use ruthless means against you and your soldiers, if you want to blame your Golden Bamboo King also invaded Shuzhong with 130,000 armor soldiers, this is a courtesy exchange!"

Cao Shi gently closed Ha Rong's eyes, he didn't know Ha Rong's name, such a life and death parting was too much in BC.

The war inevitably has casualties, the invasion and the counter-invasion are far back and forth, the Yelang country is not noble, the Han army is not despicable, and there is no so-called righteous war since the Spring and Autumn Period.

Raising his head, the brutes on the street collapsed.

Their defenders died at the hands of Cao Shi, and they were unable to organize an effective counterattack without the command of a general. Don't expect the barbarians to have a high level of military literacy, in the face of the fierce Han army, their reaction is to flee.

Originally, the barbarians who stayed in the city were by no means elite, most of them were the old, weak, sick and disabled who had been eliminated, and the strong barbarians followed the King of Jinzhu to see the world of flowers in Shu, and the guards were strangled to death by beheading, and it was too difficult for the old, weak, sick and disabled who lost their command to face the Han army that came out of nowhere.

The Han army raised a sharp iron knife and cut the thin bamboo and wood armor lightly, and the bronze weapon in their hands slashed on the armor without any reaction, and desperately pounced over and stabbed a sword, and now the bronze sword is bent into an S shape.

The palace of Yoro is also in chaos. The palace guards all ran outside the palace gate to resist. There were only two old national teachers with a dozen old men with bronze weapons guarding the palace.

The national teacher turned his head and saw a few women with scattered hair, and said urgently: "Run!" Run! The palace ladies fled west with the queen! โ€

"The city is besieged, where can we escape!" The queen sat on the ground with a desolate expression.

"Then you have to get out. Maybe you can break out of the city. Go north to find the king to move the rescuers. โ€

Boom Boom!

The palace gate trembled wildly. The two-colored deadbolt gradually twisted, and each impact of the giant wood was like hitting the heart, and it was painful.

The Han army is attacking the gate.

The guards of Yoro's palace are dead.

Bang!

The palace gate, which had lost its guards, finally came to the end of its life. The fragments of the wooden door were smashed into pieces, and the Han army surrounded them.

"I'm fighting with you!"

The national teacher didn't run a few steps and fell to the ground, Cao Shi put down his bow and arrows: "Queen Yelang, please stop the Yelang people from making senseless resistance, that will only bring greater disaster." โ€

Hundreds of red-armored soldiers surrounded the palace, and Queen Yelang wept: "I surrender! Please spare my people, they are innocent. โ€

"As you wish." Cao Shi smiled.

That night, the Han army Dasuo Yelang Wang Jing, captured thousands of national teachers, ministers, and craftsmen under the account of Yelang Wang, all of whom were locked up in the temporary military camp outside the city and strictly guarded, and at the same time sent a letter to the guard captain on the border of Yelang State, the chief of the Barbarian Department of Jumachi, and the Yelang Wang Jinzhu who was far away on the border of Shuzhong.

Cao Shi took over Wang Jing with full authority, and confiscated all the gold, silver and jewelry of the Yelang people at the first start, and the Yelang people who suffered losses would be compensated by the grain and cloth stored in the state treasury, in short, the Yelang people were forcibly not allowed to keep the gold, silver and jewelry.

The Han army traveled thousands of miles to Yelang to fight a surprise war, but it was not to export evil anger to the Han family, the huge cost of eating, drinking and training for tens of thousands of people needed to be recovered, and the net outflow of the treasury must be curbed, the original intention of the war was to obtain war dividends, and the war without war dividends was resolutely not fought.

The temporary staff of the shogunate, who were represented by a group of commanders of the Southern Army, counted the war dividends collected from the treasury.

"20,000 jin of gold, 250,000 jin of silver, 1.2 billion gold coins, 173oo horses of silk, 521oo horses of linen, 350,000 stones of corn, rice, and barley grains, in addition to more than 2.5 stones of stone honey imported by Magadha, 12oo ivory, 5 buckets of tortoiseshell, more than 8oo rhino horns, 3oo tiger teeth, more than 2 buckets of pearls, agate imported by Magadha, opal, jade, ruby, sapphire, emerald, although the sparrows of Yelang Country are small and complete, they are quite rich." Xun Fang was amazed.

The kingdom of Yelang was only a small state of Er, living in the dense forests of the mountains with sparse arable land all the year round, and the income from a single labor income was purely dependent on Magadha's trade and plunder.

Even though the country was small, the treasury was rich enough to make many people dumbfounded, and the Han captains had green eyes shining brightly, and they were impressed by the considerable loot.

Ding!

Dropping down the odd-shaped gold nugget weighing almost half a catty, the gold and silver collided and buzzed, and it was also a visual impact to watch a piece of gold fall into the glittering jewel.

Cao Shi clapped his hands and looked flat: "To be honest, it's really not much, it's a little less than I expected, it is estimated that a lot of jewelry was brought to the army by the old man of Jinzhu as a reward, there is a lot of grain and cloth in the treasury, and I took it to the Yelang civilians as compensation, but the food of the Yelang country will never be like this, the grain and grass consumed by the 100,000 soldiers of the Yelang army every day is an astronomical amount, and the king of Yelang, Jinzhu, should carry a lot of grain and grass to the front line, Sima Xiu, you tell them from the palace of Yelang, the nobles of Yelang, and how many valuable treasures were found in the homes of the people of Yelang. โ€

"Whoa!"

Sima Xiu coughed twice: "In the past two days, there are three secret rooms in the Yelang Palace, more than 130 gold cellars of the Yelang nobles, and 6 gold and silver hidden in the homes of the people of Yelang, combined with the number of booty collected from the palace and the nobles' homes as follows, 32,000 jin of gold, 650,000 jin of silver, mainly for all kinds of gold and silver ornaments, Yelang people like to create valuable gold and silver ornaments for women, each set of ornaments weighs about 5 jin to 2o city catties, the more noble the status, the heavier the ornaments, the rich use gold, those who have no money use silverware, The Yelang people do not use copper coins, so there are only 200 million copper coins, rhinoceros horns, tiger teeth, ivory, bear skins, tiger skins, leopard skins, precious stones, amber, agate, jade, pearls are innumerable, and the overall amount is more than double that of the national treasury. โ€

"My God, 850,000 catties of silver? So rich! โ€

Li You explained: "Yelang's currency is very miscellaneous, copper coins are used less, generally with gold and silver, cloth and grain as currency, the status of gold and silver is very high, from the poor to the royal family love to use gold and silver to cast exquisite ornaments, the more ornaments women wear, the more noble the status, men also like to bring gold necklaces, bracelets as ornaments." โ€

Sima Xiu was puzzled: "Yelang Country is really rich, and a small country with a population of only 5o lives in the mountains, why is it so rich?" โ€

"Not bad!"

Cao Shi turned his head and cast an approving glance at Sima Xiu: "First of all, it shows that Yelang Guo has the veins of gold mines in their hands, and they have the technology to mine and smelt gold, and secondly, Yelang people are very good at doing business, and it is not a good choice to build a capital in the mountainous area, but if you look closely at Yelang Wangjing, you will see that this rough city is full of gold and silver, and the Southwest Yi caravan that has not had time to leave is doing business in the city, even if the Yelang people who were looted by us for gold, silver and jewelry, are still willing to take out their remaining property to do business, It also shows that Yelang has been influenced by Magadha for a long time, and there is a country called Bactria in the northwest of Magadha that is famous for doing business, and both countries are famous for doing business, so you can imagine how much Yelang people like to do business. โ€

Chen Wuxian was not to be outdone: "The location of the gold mine has been found, and several gold mines have not been stopped until now, and the Yelang people are really people who want money and don't want to die." โ€

Where there is a gold mine, there is a silver mine, and gold and silver always go hand in hand, and the reserve ratio is also very stable.

There are many gold mines in the southwest, which is great good news for the Han army, the southern army sent tens of thousands of troops to trek through mountains and rivers to travel through the mountains and rivers to invest in grain, grass, medicine, and supplies, as well as the compensation for the dead and the reward for meritorious service must have enough returns, gold mines are the best return of interests, and gold mines are also an important reason to continue to maintain the war.

As for the loot, it was the most powerful weapon in Cao Shi's hands.

Glancing at the captain of the Southern Army who had fallen into the golden nightmare, Cao Shi turned around and walked out of the golden treasury: "Don't be insanity for the sake of yellow and white things, go back immediately to tell the officers and soldiers of the Southern Army, you can eat and drink with your heart open until tonight, from tomorrow I will rectify military affairs, build a city and build a wall, and prepare to meet the wrath of Yelang King Jinzhu!"
