Chapter 36: The Plundering of Donghu (II)

After this expedition, Feng Ye figured out where his biggest advantage was, ordinary war horses couldn't run much faster at all, and after the army was assembled, it would slow down, and he couldn't run a hundred miles all day.

And Feng Ye's Dongning Iron Cavalry, traveling thousands of miles a day is the same as playing, our side runs for half a day, sleeps for a night, and the enemy can't catch up day and night. This is where Feng Ye's confidence in scattering all the two thousand iron horsemen into the grassland.

In just 5 days, many of the two thousand iron horsemen sent out by Feng Ye to investigate have returned. Feng Ye's order to them was to find out the specific location of the Hu tribe.

Dongning Weibei went to the grassland for two thousand miles, and the location of all the tribes was clearly explored.

Baochai also began to spread the news to the entire Central Plains and Jiangnan region with the help of the Xue family's shops, so that everyone knew that in Dongningwei, Liaodong Town, no matter whether good or bad, as long as they came over, they would divide the land and cattle and wives.

At this time, Daliang pursued the primogeniture inheritance system, and most of the family's fields and property had to be handed over to the eldest son to inherit, while the second son and the third son could only get a very meager share, or no property at all.

Even if everyone knows that Liaodong Town is Jiubian, there are still a large number of proletarians who are willing to fight to the death for the future, for the fields, for the women, and for the ploughing cattle.

When the news came out, in just a few days, many military households from other guards in Liaodong Town had fled. According to the law of Daliang, military households are not allowed to be local, and they have the obligation to serve in the army for generations.

"Your Highness, we can't accept these escaped military households. If these people escape, the chief officials of the other guards will inevitably be investigated, won't this offend the entire guard in Liaodong Town?" said Xiao Dezi with a sad face.

"These people, haven't we already offended them? When I grabbed the grain, I had already offended. Even if we don't offend them, what can we do? When the Hu army enters the army, will they still be able to point to those wastes and come to save us?"

Feng Ye had already seen everything clearly, these people were afraid of the power of the prince, and they were all like birds if they were offended. When it comes to the crisis, you still have to rely on your own hard power.

As long as the strength is strong enough, whoever disagrees will be convinced. If he is not convinced, let him hold it. Whoever dares to show his head beats him. In Feng Ye's heart: Lao Tzu is a high-level interstellar civilization, do you still have to whisper to these low-level feudal civilizations?

"Okay, remember one thing, no matter what status the person is, as long as he comes to our Dongningwei, we will accept it, and we will give it all the treatment. When you encounter those who are traitors on our territory, you will cut them directly. We must make an example of the chickens and monkeys. As for the rest, don't worry about it at all.

If Liaodong Town dares to send troops, don't resist, and take the princess north to the grassland to find me. Remember?" Feng Ye admonished.

After everything was explained, Feng Ye set out again with two thousand Dongning iron horsemen. This time, however, he already had a detailed map of the steppe of the two thousand miles north. The location of the various Hu tribes is well understood.

Thousands of miles of attack, morning and night, a single blow can destroy a tribe, whether it is a small tribe or a large tribe. In an unguarded situation, they could not resist the surprise attack of two thousand iron horsemen.

The only difficulty is that the cattle, sheep and horses are very difficult to transport back and forth. I can't walk a hundred or ten miles a day, which undoubtedly slows down the speed greatly.

After the second batch of women and children were escorted back to Dongningwei, Feng Ye decided to recruit a group of auxiliary soldiers to escort women and children and livestock back from the grassland. Anyway, there is no danger near Dongning. The first batch of people who came to Dongning to seek a living were also the kind of warriors who put life and death aside in order to fight for wealth and wealth.

Feng Ye easily recruited an escort team of five hundred people. After some basic training, they are brought into battle, and they are not required to fight.

When they set out on the expedition, these escort teams and Dongning Iron Cavalry were two people and one horse, and after the Iron Cavalry assault, Feng Ye left a hundred people to escort the spoils back to Dongning. In order to prevent these people from running away with the booty, Feng Ye also sent 10 iron cavalry guards each time.

With the help of these escort teams, Feng Ye's speed of this assault was much faster. In just ten days, five small and medium-sized tribes were cleared. The vigilance of the Donghu people far exceeded Feng Ye's expectations.

Signs of a shift to the larger tribes have begun to emerge from the small tribes in the vicinity. This made Feng Ye very puzzled, with the speed of Dongning's iron cavalry, every time he attacked, no enemy would be able to escape.

He couldn't figure out why the enemy would be alerted so quickly, according to his original prediction, this kind of communication basically relied on the roaring feudal society, and if the news was to get out, it would only take two or three months.

Just when Feng Ye was puzzled, the envoy of the imperial court came again.

Feng Ye looked at it, he was still an old acquaintance - Father-in-law Xia, this Father-in-law Xia was not very old, and he and Xiao Dezi were a group of eunuchs who entered the palace, and now they are the chief eunuchs of Wupin. This Father-in-law Xia naturally knew the prestige of Feng Ye, the king of Dongning County. Don't dare to be disrespectful.

"Tell me, what's the matter with me in the palace?" Feng Ye asked, stabbing on the Taishi's chair.

"King of Dongning County, this time it is Wang Yanshang, the new chief soldier of Liaodong Town, who has participated in your book, saying that His Royal Highness has provoked the border without permission, sent troops to Donghu without an order, and plundered the property of Donghu herdsmen. Grandpa Xia lowered his head and said in a low voice.

Feng Ye reacted instantly, he was afraid that Donghu's side would react so quickly, and he was afraid that it would have something to do with the merchants on Daliang's side. These merchants colluded with the officers of the Nine Sides to trade with the Donghu people with all kinds of items that were urgently needed by the Donghu people.

During this time, Dongning recruited people on a large scale, promising to divide the fields, cattle, and wives when they came. Where do these things come from, I am afraid that they will not escape the ears and eyes of those who have a heart. Feng Ye's raid on the small and medium-sized tribes of Donghu may have been sold by these unscrupulous merchants. Otherwise, Donghu's reaction would definitely not be so fast.

Of course, these officers in Liaodong Town are not good birds, these people are afraid of Donghu entering the Kou, and they deceive themselves and feel that as long as they don't provoke the Hu people, Donghu will not come to attack them. At most, they can sweep the surrounding villages and towns and loot some property, and they will not pose any threat to their heavily guarded guards anyway.

But now Feng Ye, the king of Dongning County, has plundered Donghu, killed and robbed, once he angers those Hu people, Donghu will come to commit it in a big way, and he is afraid that their guards will also be affected by the pond fish. Therefore, these officers in Liaodong Town ran to complain as soon as possible.

These pieces of garbage, insiders and outsiders. In the face of the Donghu invasion, he will only retreat in the city. The method of stabbing others in the back is a thief.

Thinking about this, Feng Ye knew that this raid had to be suspended. But fortunately, during this time, he also gained a lot, nearly 10,000 women, and hundreds of thousands of livestock. It can be said that it is a big deal.
