Failing to stop the bleeding, the attendants forced the middle-aged man to leave the group of prisoners of war with steel knives and walk towards a newly isolated open space to the southeast.

Commanders, Chiefs, Quartermasters...... One by one, the officers left the prisoner of war crowd and walked into the open space, which soon filled the already small area.

The huge procession stopped at the riverside, and many of the Tiger people had never seen a boat, and they were surprised by the fleet moored on the river, more because of the size of the boats.

There was only one order ———— to get on board.

There was an uproar among the captives, fearful of the future, and they stood on the boarding boards and hesitated.

"Where is this taking us?"

"No, I'm not going up, I'm going home."

"Please, let me go!"

The ruthless pig warrior was not negotiable, grabbed a few of the screaming guys, cut off their heads on the spot, and all doubts and luck came to an end, the scene became silent, and fear was firmly fixed in the depths of everyone's brain in an almost substantial state.

All prisoners who boarded the ship had to take off their armor, which was to reduce weight. As ordered, people went into the bilge, then the upper cabin near the deck, and finally the deck...... The entire ship seemed to be filled with a cargo called "human", and all corners of the ship were filled except for the aft compartment and the control room on both sides where sailors stepped on wooden wheels to propulsion, as well as the lookout and guard sections.

The first batch of Tiger prisoners of war was as many as 40,000 people, which is the maximum capacity that the fleet can currently withstand.

Relying on the remaining watchtowers and fortifications on the battlefield, Stormtooth has established a crescent-shaped line of defense. Facing the Tiger Prison Front, a total of 12,000 pig warriors were in charge of the defense. At the same time, all the Tiger prisoners of war who laid down their arms went to the logistics warehouse in formation, carrying various supplies and food, and transporting them to the inside of the defense line.

At this rate, it would take at least nine days to remove all the captives.

……

Deer Clan's territory, Red Moon City.

The whole city swept away the decline when it was attacked by the Tiger Clan, and confidence and pride were full of confidence and pride, and laughter could be heard in any corner of the city. People love to win, not to mention that this is an unprecedented victory for the Deer Clan over the Tiger Clan in hundreds of years.

Lu Qingxi ordered to open the warehouse, take out the reserved meat and grain, and reward the three armies.

After the war, there is no shortage of meat, especially the tiger clan's war horses died in large numbers, as long as they are rinsed, the internal organs are removed, chopped into large pieces, and cooked with more seasonings until they are cooked, it is very delicious. The soldiers, who lacked oil and water in their stomachs all year round, never let go of any edible meat, intestines, heart, liver, lungs, and stomach pouch...... Even the horseskin was a pot thing, and people shaved the whole horse with a knife, burned the whole horse with red-hot charcoals, washed the black dirt from the surface, cut it into small pieces, and stewed it with the meat and offal.

The battlefield was full of dead, except for the pig people, all the war dead of the deer and tiger clans were collected in Red Moon City, piled up.

It takes time to dispose of the body, it's summer, and delay means decomposition.

Before that, Lu Qingxi received a lot of assistance from Tianhao. Of course, these things are not given in vain, they are all exchanged for gold and silver.

Mainly cured blubber and whale meat. Ray Point occupies an advantageous seaside location and has a number of port cities, especially in the whaling and fishing industries. Before industrialization, most of the industries related to the sea existed for food. The nearby sea area is home to right whales, and from slaughter to decomposition and processing, a chain industry has been formed in both Rock City and Liandu City, which is becoming more and more mature.

To put it bluntly, pickled whale fat is a large piece of fatty meat, the color after fermentation is yellowish, this kind of salty fat is usually cut into thin slices, and eaten together with dough cakes or rice balls, quite a bit of the taste of meat sandwich buns in the civilized era.

White Southerners also have a habit of penchanting fatty meat, but they prefer domestic pigs to fatty blubber. In their opinion, this pickled fat is just too fatty. Tianhao had tried to provide some to the white people in captivity in the "zoo", and later learned from Perias that the white people generally did not have a high opinion of pickled blubber, and some even bluntly stated that ———— had never eaten such disgusting food.

Barbarians are very fond of pickling blubber.

"Shengxinglong" has distribution points in all tribes, and cured blubber has become an extremely important commodity. All the people who tasted it were full of praise and thought it was the best gift from the gods.

The exchange of salted blubber has become one of the most important strategic materials in Luqingxi's hands. He found it to be a morale booster, especially before a war, at festivals, or at important celebrations, when he was given a bread filled with pickled blubber, and they would be satisfied and shout slogans such as "Long live Your Majesty".

Escorted by his attendants, Lu Qingxi began his first tour of Red Moon City.

This is also one of the special skills he learned from Tianhao.

Dressed in the sumptuous robes that represent the status of the king, he smiled and greeted everyone he met, talked cordially with the soldiers, greeted the cold and warm, and ordered the wounded to be given more food rations and even a small amount of wine...... On this day, Lu Qingxi truly felt the joy of being a king, and he felt respect from many people———— which came from the heart, through their eyes and skin, the kind that could be touched and extremely real.

The common people judge things by a very simple standard: as long as they can bring themselves a happy life, win the war, and enjoy respect and peace, they are the best leaders.

Along the way, young girls constantly took the initiative to kneel in front of Lu Qingxi, asking for His Majesty's blessing.

This is the highest etiquette that is prevalent among all tribes.

Only a virgin can exercise this ritual to the object of her worship, only for a night of pleasure, and not to ask to be the wife of the object of worship. They pay homage with their bodies, and as a special honor, they engrave it on clay stencils and pass them on as treasures forever.

This is not the humiliation caused by the oppression of power, but the glory of initiative and willingness.

Lu Qingxi's face was about to smile crookedly, this is the treatment that a king should enjoy.

He politely rejected the kneeling maidens at his feet, smiling and unfinished parade.

For the first time, he felt the power of the people, and it was indescribable, wonderful.

But not everything is going for the better, and there are still a lot of issues that need to be addressed.

The "common war" agreement signed with Tianhao is only one year old, which is the result of the last secret negotiation agreement———— the deer clan and the Lei Niu tribe temporarily formed an alliance, Lu Qingxi led the main force of the deer clan to meet the battle in the front direction of Red Moon City, and released the blockade on the Pantuo River, Tianhao sent a fleet from Bailu City and Broken Horn City to attack Gangwei City.

The army of the Tiger Clan gathered under Red Moon City is more than 200,000, and the chance of winning a frontal attack is not great, even if the Lei Niu Department and the Deer Clan join forces, even if they can win, they must pay extremely high casualties.

This is not the result that Tianhao wants.

A study of history reveals many problems, but the northern barbarians have always had a vague concept of "water warfare (including naval warfare)" due to the genetic memory loss of most of the shipbuilding technology. The deer and tiger fishermen who live on the banks of the Pantuo River all year round can only make sampans, and there is no record of making large boats.

The Tiger Prison Pass is a real natural hazard, and its degree of danger is even greater than that of the Lock Dragon Pass.

For hundreds of years, neither the Tiger nor the Deer had ever crossed the pass by ship and directly attacked the city behind the opponent. Tianhao was the first to take the lead, coupled with the information transmitted by the intelligence department with flying birds, and learned that there were not many defenders in Gangwei City and the defense was empty, so he decided to send a fleet and succeed in one blow.

It was transported twice from Gangwei City, bringing back more than 50,000 captured Tiger civilians, as well as thousands of selected stallions.

A large amount of supplies and food stored in the city must be burned, even if it is a pity, there is nothing to be done. Once the supply is cut off, it becomes difficult to re-establish it. Barbarians generally did not have the concept of "building roads", and long-distance transportation took much longer than in civilized times. The importance of Gangweicheng lies in the logistics, once it is destroyed, it means that all front-line troops, including the Tiger Prison, are in a dilemma of lack of food.

More importantly, it is a serious blow to morale.

The fleet returned to Bailu City from Gangweicheng for the first time, and it was necessary to ensure that the route of secondary transportation was unimpeded, so no flags were displayed on the ship. The second time was different, Gangweicheng had already been ignited by the fire, and the news leaked was only a matter of time before the news leaked, and the returning fleet showed its flag and identified itself, so that the Tiger people stationed on the riverside could see it clearly, which could cause panic to the greatest extent and let fear spread among them.

Lu Qingxi sent the main force to attack at the appointed time, and the elite troops led by Tyrant led the elite troops straight down from the upper reaches of the Pantuo River, crossed the defensive line, and launched an attack from the flank of the Tiger Clan's camp. The soldiers of the Tiger Clan were already panicked, and in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Hu Jinzhong publicly admitted the news that Gangwei City had been attacked...... The combination of all aspects caused the army of more than 200,000 to lose its will to fight and completely collapse.

This series of operations is very complicated, at least Lu Qingxi can't do it.

This is the reason why he respects and fears Tianhao, envy, jealousy and hatred.

He really couldn't understand how that man's brain could come up with such an ingenious method. More than 200,000 Tiger people...... Since the day when Red Moon City was in an emergency and asked for help from Buck City, Lu Qingxi felt that the sky had fallen, and he knew that the Tiger Clan had really moved to kill this time, and they would do their best to occupy Red Moon City and then destroy their last clan.

You can't win on your own, you have to pull in a helping hand and ask for support.

Before, Lu Qingxi also doubted Tianhao's strength. But after that night's secret conversation, he felt a deep sense of frustration, and even had the urge to kneel in front of Tianhao and admit defeat completely.

I'm so far from him.

Regarding the distribution of the spoils of war, the two have long reached an agreement.

Lu Qingxi only needed 20,000 prisoners, and the rest of the Tiger Clan were all owned by Tianhao. He knew very well that the population of the Deer Clan was very weak, especially the captives obtained through warfare, and they were also Tiger Clan...... There was no better way for them to deal with it than to be slaves.

The situation has led to a change in the situation, if it was the reign of the former king Lu Fengguo, Lu Qingxi would definitely not let go of these captives, and he would have to get at least half of the ownership.

Now there are only more than 600,000 people left in the entire deer tribe, and the old and weak and women account for a large proportion of them. Only men go to war, what is the concept of 100,000 Tiger prisoners of war? If they are allowed to join the group, it will inevitably have an impact on the entire population structure of the deer tribe. Rather than forcibly leaving them behind and becoming the bane of ethnic chaos in the future, it is better to let them out now in exchange for better, better, and more suitable interests for themselves.

In exchange, Tianhao promised Lu Qingxi that he would get all the weapons, armor, most of the livestock, including war horses, and supplies.

Of course, there are all the Tiger people who died on the battlefield.

Tianhao made a request for the division of supplies———— it was necessary to ensure the food supply of the attacking troops of the Thunder Ox and all the Tiger Clans during their stay. To put it simply, it was the period when the army under the Tyrant Tooth and the Tiger prisoners of war were stranded on the riverside, and the necessary materials and food were taken directly from the Tiger Clan's camp warehouse until the fleet carried everyone away.

This time period lasts about fifteen days, which is the number given by Tianhao at that time.

"I want people! Except for the captives, the rest is yours. These are Tianhao's exact words.

To be honest, Lu Qingxi is really envious.

He wanted to get a huge group of prisoners of war, but he could only drool and watch the fat slipped out of his mouth. He could do nothing but suppress his deep unwillingness and jealousy in his heart.

Outside Red Moon City, the Deer Clan patrol kept a distance from the Niu Clan's defense line. Cleaning the battlefield requires a lot of patience, and everything can't be wasted. The deer people drove oxen carts and brought back scattered weapons and armor, piles of corpses, and wood from outside the city...... These are all wealth, as long as they guard the border, follow the will of His Majesty the King of the Deer, and do not enter the warning range of the cattle tribesmen guarding the riverside, they will be blind to all that is happening.

Some people coveted it, some people whispered in Lu Qingxi's ears, and some people incited soldiers to want to start a war with the Niu people.

Their thoughts are understandable. Just after a big victory, and it is enough to go down in history, the hearts of the people swell with the victory, and gradually transform into ambition. No one felt that they had a lot of money in their pockets, and they felt itchy to look at the huge group of prisoners of war gathered by the river, and they all wanted more loot, especially the Tiger slaves.

Lu Qingxi cut off twenty-two heads in one go, and finally managed to curb this dangerous undercurrent that was running wildly in Red Moon City.

He suddenly found that after Tianhao was promoted to the acting patriarch of the Thunder Niu Tribe, it was necessary to treat the cruel and ruthless methods of the tribal nobles. It was definitely not cruelty and murder, but a necessary means to eliminate dissidents and consolidate rule.

In contrast, I was still too soft-hearted. I knew that I should have killed all the officers and commanders of Red Moon City with more than a thousand heads, and selected obedient people from the lower levels of supporters to make up for it. Only in this way can you become a true king.

Kill all the disobedient guys, and those who remain are good citizens, it's as simple as that.
