The soldiers of the Great Xia Army rushed forward and killed these dozens of people in a few clicks.

Then Chen Mu ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up, and he led people into the palace.

I thought that there was something important in the palace for them to guard like this, but Chen Mu only found some totems and sacrifices.

However, it was not without gain, Chen Mu found the portrait of the fat general, proving that the fat general was the leader of the stick country.

Then the rest is simple.

The army swept all the way to the end of the peninsula, and the soldiers and civilians of the country of the stick were still resisting, but to no avail.

In the end, Chen Mujun took 10,000 young men as slaves, ready to let them contribute to the construction of the northeast region.

For the rest, leave them to fend for themselves.

When the language is spoken in the future, they will become subjects.

At the same time, Chen Mu also took away a lot of local specialties.

In addition to the specialty food, there is also a pine tree, which is made of a very hard material. Can be used as a part of a weapon.

The most important thing is a duck with very fluffy and soft feathers, which can be used to make down jackets.

Although it is said that cotton clothes can now meet the needs of most of the people of Daxia, it is better to use down jackets in the Northeast.

Chen Mu did not return to the capital directly, but stayed in the Northeast for a period of time, on the one hand, to supervise the manufacture of down jackets, and on the other hand, to make a small adjustment to the Northeast region.

That's the militia system.

Due to the small population of the Northeast, there were only five thousand cavalry. If the Donghu people or people further north come to disturb them, it will be difficult to take care of them.

However, now that there are 10,000 more slaves in the country of sticks, the people of Great Xia have more free time.

This time is used for training, so as to achieve the effect of all the people being soldiers.

However, as soon as Chen Mu started his work, an unexpected situation occurred.

Donghu came to envoy.

Chen Mu felt very strange, "How did Donghu come here?" Didn't they understand the language of Bactria ? ”

The soldier replied, "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, that person does speak Daxia language, and his face is from Donghu." ”

Chen Mu frowned, "Then call him in." ”

The soldier gave the order, and soon brought a man with him. Chen Mu saw that he did look like a Donghu person.

When the man saw Chen Mu, he bowed his head and said in the broken Daxia language:

"Donghu envoy, meet the prince of Great Xia."

Chen Mu nodded, "Are you from Donghu?" What is the purpose of coming here? ”

Unexpectedly, the man shook his head and said: "I am not from Donghu, I am from the Huns, because I know the Daxia language, so I came on behalf of Donghu." ”

"The purpose is for peace between the two countries."

Chen Muxian didn't care how this Hun learned the Great Xia language, but sneered:

"At the beginning, it was Donghu who took the initiative to invade Great Xia, looted my three county towns in Great Xia, and slaughtered tens of thousands of people in Great Xia."

"Now what peace are you talking about?"

The Donghu envoy kowtowed again.

"Respected Prince of Great Xia, the leader of Donghu didn't know how powerful Great Xia was, but now Great Xia has defeated Donghu's army and got some price."

"And I have already told them that the steppe tribes, the Xiongnu mentioned by His Royal Highness the Prince, have made peace with Great Xia. Now there is peace between the two countries, and there is still trade. ”

"So the leader of Donghu sent me, willing to follow the example of the Xiongnu and pray for peace."

Chen Mu nodded slowly.

"If Donghu is willing to become a vassal state, pay tribute every year, and be a vassal every year, we will not be wiped out in Great Xia."

"But the Northeast region now belongs to Great Xia, and it is impossible for us to return it to Donghu."

The Donghu envoy smiled flatteringly: "Of course, this is what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince defeated with his strength, and of course it belongs to Great Xia." The Donghu people are already very content if they can keep the grassland for grazing for a living. ”

"In addition, the leader of Donghu will also give a special gift to the prince of Great Xia."

Chen Mu asked curiously, "What special gift?" ”

There shouldn't be any special products in the Donghu area now, even if there are any mineral veins or the like, they don't know each other.

The envoy of Donghu said with a smile: "Presumably, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not know that in the north of Donghu, there is a Rakshasa country. It was very rich, and there was so much gold and silver that there was no place to spend it. ”

"And the people there are very strong, and if they are captured as slaves, they will definitely help the prince build the Northeast region faster."

Chen Mu couldn't laugh or cry, it turned out that the so-called special gift was the intelligence of the Rakshasa Kingdom.

"Since this Rakshasa country is a piece of fat, why doesn't the Donghu leader eat it himself?"

The Donghu envoy said with a smile: "Only His Royal Highness the Respected Crown Prince has this strength, and the Donghu leader is now unable to protect himself, just trying to survive." ”

Chen Mu understood, "Oh, then when Donghu had more than 10,000 cavalry before, why didn't he choose to attack the Rakshasa Kingdom, but attack Great Xia?" ”

The Donghu envoy looked very embarrassed, "This ......"

Chen Mu sneered: "Because it was autumn at that time, if you attack the Rakshasa Country, you will face the cold wind on the ice field, right?" ”

Donghu's envoy's face changed greatly, he didn't expect Chen Mu to say the word "ice field", he didn't tell Chen Mu the terrain over there.

Chen Mu continued: "It's early spring now, but it must still be very cold in the Rakshasa Country. Donghu wants to lead the Great Xia army into the cold zone and go to merge with the Rakshasa country, so that they can sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman, right? ”

The Donghu envoy was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly, "Don't dare, we don't dare!" ”

Chen Mu stood up and said softly, "I don't necessarily know less about the Rakshasa Kingdom than you. ”

"Since you are so sincere, I will also give you a gift, you should be a war correspondent. Then tell Donghu the truth about the strength of Great Xia, and ask them not to fight any more ghost ideas. ”

Chen Mu knew that now that there was no city on the Rakshasa Country, it was empty, and it would definitely be even colder.

But Chen Mu is not afraid.

Because he has already obtained duck down from the country of sticks, he has already started to produce down jackets.

And there are abundant oil resources in the Rakshasa country, although it can't be used yet, but it's good to control it first.

This Donghu envoy was detained by Chen Mu, and only the rest of his entourage was asked to go back to report the news.

Chen Mu also sent someone to report back to Chen Xingtian, saying that he had solved the Stick Country and was preparing to go north to attack the Rakshasa Country.

Then Chen Mu asked people to step up the production of down jackets, as well as down pants, duvets and other cold-proof equipment.

Ten days later, the Great Xia Army had already changed the cotton clothes and pants into duck down, and then changed into thick cotton shoes and brought cotton tents. There is also a lot of meat, pork, duck, roe deer, etc., and a lot of salted fish.

After everything was ready, Chen Mu led a large army and set out from the northern part of the northeast region and headed north along the coastline.

Enter a cold region that the Bactrian people have never entered.
