Youzhou and Bingzhou were both within the scope of the Xianbei Rebellion. When he entered Zhuo County, he saw many people fleeing south, starving and dying on the road, a scene of inhumane suffering.
Soon, a spy came to report that ten miles ahead, there were three hundred Xianbei bandits looting a village.
"Ji Ling, lead a team of cavalry and leave a few people alive." Lin Han ordered with a cold look.
"promise."
Ji Ling rode out on his horse and led the cavalry battalion to charge forward.
The Xianbei Rebellion severely affected Youzhou and Bingzhou, and they even rushed to Zhuojun, which almost borders Jizhou.
As the Han Dynasty declined, the Xianbei people became unscrupulous.
Half an hour later, the scouts reported back that Ji Ling had pacified the Xianbei bandits in the village, killing more than a hundred, capturing more than a hundred, and seizing four hundred war horses and a considerable amount of money and food.
When Lin Han arrived at the village, the villagers knelt and kowtowed to him, tears of gratitude streaming down their faces.
Among the crowd, Lin Hanyou saw those women in disheveled clothes, and his brows suddenly frowned and his expression became gloomy.
These Xianbei people have lived in the desert for a long time and are extremely barbaric.
"Sir, what should we do with the prisoners?" Ji Ling asked.
"Is their leader dead?"
"No."
Ji Ling waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to bring the person up.
The leader of this group of Xianbei bandits was a bearded man with a fishy smell all over his body, as if he hadn't taken a bath for several months. The smell could be smelled from far away. There were also dried bloodstains on his body. He stared at Lin Han with a fierce look in his eyes, looking unconvinced.
"Where are the other teams' bases?"
"Tsk, a pretty boy, a white lamb." The Xianbei leader sneered.
"He looks rough, but his teeth are quite sharp." Lin Han sneered and waved at Bai Qi: "Bai Qi, I leave it to you."
"promise."
There were screams and blood splattering among the prisoners. They fell to the ground like wheat being harvested. Of the more than one hundred prisoners, only less than half were left standing.
The other prisoners fell in a pool of blood, struggling and kicking their legs, looking miserable.
"If anyone of you knows where the troops of other tribes are, I can spare your lives." Lin Han said to the standing Xianbei captives.
Then let Bai Qi take action.
Bai Qi didn't waste any words. He picked up the knife, walked up to a captured Xianbei soldier, and put it on his neck.
"Do you know?"
Chila~
Chi didn't say a word, and Bai Qi's sword chopped him off, separating his head from his body.
"Do you know?"
Bai Qi walked towards the second one.
The third one!
The fourth one.
The fifth one...
"We surrender, you can't kill me."
When he killed the tenth captive, the Xianbei soldier lay on the ground crying. Before he could say a second word, Bai Qi's sword had already pierced his chest and he moved on to the next one...
"I know, I know!"
The Xianbei leader, who had been tough at first, fell to the ground with snot running down his face, no longer as fierce as before, when he saw Bai Qi, who killed people without blinking an eye.
“Draw it on the map.”
Bai Qi asked someone to take a map and give it to the Xianbei leader.
In a moment, eight gathering points were circled on the map, all of which were strongholds for the Xianbei soldiers' guerrilla warfare to the south.
"Anything else?"
Bai Qi's knife was placed on his neck, and the blood on the blade almost made the Xianbei leader faint.
"Once I find out, if I lose a stronghold, I'll cut off a hand. If I lose two, I'll break a leg."
“Yes, yes, yes…”
After drawing six more circles, the Xianbei leader collapsed to the ground, filled with fear. If he had known how ruthless the Central Plains soldiers were, he would never have attacked. Now it was too late to regret.
"It's gone. It's really gone."
Lin Han took the map, determined the location, and handed it to Dian Wei.
"Brother, send scouts to investigate these locations to confirm their authenticity and the number of people present."
"Bai Qi, tie up these prisoners and hand them over to the villagers for disposal."
The remaining Xianbei captives were tied up and brought before the villagers. Angry roars erupted, and the villagers, who had just been robbed, pounced on them like hungry wolves.
The desperate screams echoed, so shrill and miserable.
Some survivors whose families were destroyed ate the flesh of slaves alive and finally committed suicide.
According to the villagers, this woman's husband was killed, her son was beheaded, and she was insulted. She was howling and crying. It was so tragic.
Even Bai Qi frowned and looked cold when he saw this.
An hour later, only a pile of corpses of Xianbei captives remained on the ground, with no one spared.
Lin Han ordered his men to clean up the place and set up camp.
The next day, the scouts who went out came back and found that the locations they drew were all real.
There are fourteen strongholds, distributed around Zhuo County, Shanggu County, and Guangyang County, with the number of people ranging from dozens to hundreds.
The troops from these small Xianbei tribes were not considered regular legions.
They all mainly used guerrilla warfare, fighting on their own and causing considerable damage.
At the same time, the spies who were first sent to investigate the military situation also reported that most of the Xianbei were stationed in Danhan Mountain, with a total of 80,000 troops, and they were the tribe led by Kebi Neng.
Kebi was able to tie down most of the Wuhuan Cavalry, allowing the scattered Xianbei guerrilla tribes to run rampant in the heart of Youzhou and Bingzhou.
"Ji Ling, Bai Qi, each of you will lead a unit to clear these strongholds. Then, interrogate their leaders for information on other strongholds. The rebellion in Youzhou and Bingzhou has been particularly devastating. There can't be only a dozen strongholds. Bai Qi will be in charge of Zhuo County, Ji Ling will be in charge of Guangyang. No prisoners are allowed."
Ji Ling and Bai Qi looked stern, stood up and said yes, then led their troops away.
Only Tian Feng, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others were left in the military tent.
"Yuan Hao, I noticed that you were in a bad mood these two days. What's on your mind?" Lin Han looked at Tian Feng.
"My lord, I have something to say..."
"Speak frankly! Yuan Hao, you are not the type to beat around the bush. Why are you like this today?"
