After five days of marching, Lin Han's army arrived outside Baishui Pass. With the general's order, they entered the pass smoothly.
During this period, Lin Han did not look for Gan Ning, nor did he have the intention of persuading him. Instead, he locked him with iron chains and followed the demon guards on a rapid march.
Gan Ning's inherent arrogance has not been worn down by Lin Han yet.
He doesn't like to have any troublemakers among his subordinates who don't obey orders.
In history, Gan Ning repeatedly broke his promises to Lu Meng and even ignored the orders of his lord Sun Quan. Sun Quan was so angry that he wanted to kill him, but was stopped by Lu Meng. After all, he was also a super general.
It won’t work if it’s left in Lin Han’s hands.
If you can't even control a playboy, how can you talk about fighting for the world?
The journey was not peaceful.
After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Yizhou Yellow Turbans changed their name to the Five Pecks of Rice Sect and continued their rebellion. They encountered several waves of bandits along the way, but Lin Han wiped out their dens in one fell swoop, confiscating all their food and supplies.
The journey was much smoother after that. When the surrounding bandits heard about this demon guard army, they hid in the village and dared not come out, for fear that Lin Han would come and cause trouble.
After entering Baishui Pass, Lin Han ordered the entire army to rest.
The person in power in Yizhou now is Que Jian, who is incompetent and foolish. He bought the position of Yizhou Governor. After taking office, he levied heavy taxes and harassed the people.
Although Que Jian behaved in some disloyal ways, he still did not dare to rebel openly.
When they encountered Lin Han's troops, they did not dare to neglect the imperial edict and asked people to give them passage.
To the north of Baishui Pass is Liangzhou, and to the west, up along the Baishui River, is the land of the Di people and the Qiang and Hu people.
It's time to choose a direction.
First, he pacified the Qiang, Hu, and Di peoples, and then he went north to launch a surprise attack on Liangzhou and put down the rebellions of Beigong Boyu and Bian Zhang.
"My lord, I believe we can first pacify the Qiang, Hu, and Di peoples."
Jia Xu immediately gave advice.
"If we had first pacified Beigong Boyu and Bian Zhang, the court would have ordered us to withdraw and return the military advisor. Then we wouldn't have the opportunity to fight the Qiang and Di peoples now. This opportunity is fleeting."
Lin Han suspected that Jia Xu had some personal grudges, but this plan was exactly what he wanted.
The Qiang and Di people are the main forces behind the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China, and they must be eliminated first.
"Okay, then head west and pacify the Di people and the Qiang and Hu people."
Lin Han ordered the scouts to go ahead and capture a few Di people to find out their specific information and the location of the Di bandits.
The army is now stationed at Baishui Pass. In this war-torn era with limited information, not many people know about it, and it has a miraculous effect.
After four days of stationing in Baishui Pass, the Demon Guard scouts captured two Di people.
Only after confirming the general information about the Di people did Lin Han lead his troops to set off.
The Di people's bandits were similar to the mountain bandits in the Central Plains, except that Yizhou was mountainous and the Di people were familiar with the terrain. In addition, there were too many corrupt and incompetent officials, which led to them constantly committing crimes.
But in Lin Han's opinion, this is not a big deal.
The Demon Guards entered the Gangdi Road, and Lin Han marched to the village where the Di people lived.
Lin Han was not in a hurry to let the army attack, but instead asked someone to bring Gan Ning up.
"I remember you said before that you killed more people than I ate chickens. Today, I will show you what killing is and why I am a general and you are just a pirate."
Gan Ning was dismissive of Lin Han's words.
Even after Lin Han beat him up, he still refused to accept the defeat. In his opinion, it was because of the excessive consumption in the fight with Dian Wei that he lost.
Lin Han ordered his men to keep Gan Ning beside him.
"Brother, take five hundred demon guards into the village. Kill all the men, leaving the women and children behind. Order the first battalion, two thousand men, to be divided into twenty groups of a hundred men each. Scatter them throughout the mountains and forests and ambush the Di bandits. Kill them on sight. All surrounding troops, upon hearing the sounds of fighting, rush to surround and support them."
Lin Han made tactical arrangements.
Jia Xu standing next to him exclaimed in amazement, saying that the tactic of dividing troops was truly ingenious.
"Wenhe, lead your troops to ambush on the main road. Kill the Di people on sight without holding back."
"promise."
Gan Ning was taken by Lin Han and went to the Di people's village with Dian Wei.
The army of thousands of people moved like flowing water, with strict and stern killing.
Seeing this, Gan Ning fell silent.
The demon guards rushed into the Di village and killed everyone they saw.
Lin Han showed no mercy towards this.
Those who are not of our race must have different hearts. The ambitions and attitudes of the Rong and Di people are different from those of the Chinese.
The Di people were one of the groups involved in the tragedy of the Five Barbarians Invading China. If the Di people were not wiped out, it would be a disaster for the Central Plains in the future.
Even though Gan Ning liked killing people, he was still frightened when he saw the demon guards slaughtering the village.
"You are the devil."
"Devil? This is war. Do you think you're just having a water fight in your hometown, bragging about killing a few people, or playing house like a child?" Lin Han said disdainfully, "Didn't you say you've killed more people than I've eaten chicken?"
Gan Ning was silent.
"I forgot to tell you, when these Di people robbed the Han people, they were ten times more brutal than you are when you robbed the boats. They would take all the women away and take them home as slaves or pets, and kill all the men, taking away all the food, leaving no one alive. Do you think you're the best in the world just because you're a pirate? You're trash."
Lin Han was so excited that he kicked Gan Ning aside and watched the massacre in front of him quietly.
Half an hour later, corpses were scattered all over the village.
All the women and children in the village were taken to an open area in the village and shivered.
"Which of you are the Han women abducted by the Di people?" Lin Han stepped out and shouted, "I am a general of the Han Dynasty. Don't be afraid. I am here to rescue you."
"Sir, I...I am, please save me."
A miserable, disheveled woman emerged from the crowd with two children: a three-year-old girl and a baby still in swaddling clothes.
The woman had disheveled hair and was covered in scars, and it was obvious that she had been treated inhumanely.
