"General, we have learned a great deal!"
Wang Li and Meng Tian bowed deeply, and the Qin soldiers who were vomiting also solemnly saluted.
The wicked man nodded, not dwelling on the matter any further, and instead smiled, "Gentlemen, what about the remaining women...?"
As the saying goes, in the old days, population was the primary productive force.
Based on the principle of making the best use of resources, he thought it over and decided to ask the soldiers for their opinions.
After all, you can't do everything for someone else; what if they're not satisfied?
"Well...."
The soldiers looked at each other.
Suddenly someone blurted out, "There are only so many people, there aren't enough to go around!"
The wicked husband realized that even including older women who had given birth, there were only a few thousand women in front of him, which was indeed not enough to go around.
"Hmm, you guys count the number of enemies each soldier has killed. Those with more kills go first, and those with fewer kills go last. Keep going until everyone is done."
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers shouted, "General is wise! General is wise!"
For men, life is really just about this many things.
Besides, they all came from poor backgrounds. If they hadn't followed their wicked husbands to war this time, they wouldn't have earned any military merits at all, and it would have been incredibly difficult for them to find wives.
Now that I have military merits, I will also have a noble title. If I could get a wife for free, only a fool wouldn't be happy.
Besides, these women from other ethnic groups are not qualified to be wives; keeping them as concubines to warm the bed is perfectly fine.
The wicked man glanced at the foreign women and couldn't help but frown, thinking to himself that these people were truly like wolves, able to have such enthusiasm for such scum.
Leaving aside his speechless state, the soldiers were in high spirits, lining up to count the number of enemies killed.
The wicked man watched them listlessly, sat down on the ground around the dying campfire, added a few more bundles of firewood, and continued to roast the now-cold lamb leg.
After an unknown amount of time, the wicked husband had finished gnawing on a whole lamb leg when Wang Li and his group approached from a distance.
The wicked man glanced at Zhang Han and the other two who had come with him, and said speechlessly, "What, does someone from the Black Dragon Armored Army want to get involved?"
As commanders of the Black Dragon Armored Army, Zhang Han and his two companions were speechless at their subordinates' indiscriminate eating, but they did not want to disappoint their soldiers, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and come.
"Damn it, it's one thing to take ordinary Qin soldiers, but these are the ones I treat like my precious jewels, entrusted with important tasks, and they're starving like this?"
The wicked man couldn't help but angrily rebuke them, saying that these Rong women were only slightly better than savages, with unkempt hair and a strong muttony smell. How could they possibly be pleasing to the eye?
Zhang Han and his two companions fell silent, their heads bowed low, feeling quite embarrassed by the hunger and thirst of their soldiers.
The wicked man shook his head and chuckled, then sighed and said, "Since that's the case, then you can divide it according to your military merits."
"Yes, General!"
With the wicked husband finally relenting, Zhang Han and his two companions breathed a sigh of relief. The five of them turned and ran as fast as they could, as if afraid that the other four would snatch away the prettier women first.
The selection process continued into the afternoon, and all the thousands of Rong women were taken, even those in their forties. Not a single one was left.
The wicked man curled his lip, "What a bunch of animals!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Han and the others immediately changed the subject, asking, "General, now that the matter is settled, shall we return tonight or set off early tomorrow morning?"
Upon hearing this, the wicked husband burst out laughing, "Who said we've finished our business?"
These words stunned the group. Now that the Huanrong tribe had been completely wiped out, what was there left to do?
"So, that's why I'm a general, and you can only follow me." The wicked man sighed, then asked, "Why did the Huan Rong dare to attack?"
Several people said in unison, "The Yuezhi are behind this."
The wicked man rolled his eyes. "That's it. The Yuezhi are the ones causing trouble behind the scenes. The Huanrong are just henchmen at best. Killing them is only half the battle."
Meng Tian exclaimed in surprise, "Brother, you wouldn't be thinking of... taking action against the Yuezhi, would you?"
"They...they are not the Huan Rong, our numbers are really no match for them!"
The wicked husband didn't take it seriously and said in an unquestionable tone, "Wang Li, Meng Tian, you two lead 10,000 soldiers from the Lantian camp back and bring all these women back with you."
“I will lead the Black Dragon Armored Army to give the Yuezhi a good slap in the face and teach them a lesson they won’t forget.”
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Wang Li and Meng Tian had no choice but to give up and turn to make arrangements for his return.
The wicked man stood up, as if he had become a different person, and ordered in a deep voice: "Black Dragon Armored Army, follow me to the land of Yuezhi. Those who have designs on my Qin state should be prepared to pay the price."
Zhang Han quickly whispered, "General, none of us know where the Yuezhi are. How do we get there?"
The wicked man smiled mysteriously and said arrogantly, "If I could be a general, I would have asked Wu Shilu about the location of the Yuezhi's camp before I came here."
Okay, okay.
Zhang Han and the other two were convinced. They never saw him use his brain in other matters, but when it came to killing, he had a lot of brains.
“There are six Yuezhi tribes within a 300-mile radius of this area. Slaughter them all as interest.”
"They built a mound of skulls to deter the barbarians."
The cruel words of the wicked man stirred the blood of Zhang Han and his two companions. They immediately mounted their horses and shouted in unison, "We are willing to travel with the general!"
......
Night fell, a cold wind howled, and the Black Dragon Armored Army's iron cavalry gleamed with a chilling light under the moonlight.
The wicked man stood at the very front of the procession, his eyes blazing as he stared directly at the Yuezhi tribe, whose flames were flashing ahead.
"kill--!"
With the wicked man's command, the army surged forward like a tidal wave, the sound of hooves shaking the heavens and earth, as if to tear the silent night sky apart.
"The resentment of thousands of years begins with you."
The wicked man personally charged ahead, each of his strikes precise and deadly, like the arrival of death itself; whoever touched him was doomed.
A tribe of several thousand people was reduced to death in an instant. Under the iron hooves of the Black Dragon Armored Army, men, women, and children had no chance to resist.
"Brothers, take the heads of the barbarians, pile them up into a mound of skulls, and cast this as a warning that our Qin state cannot be humiliated."
Upon receiving the order, the soldiers immediately began to act, wielding their swords to sever the heads of the corpses and, following the evil man's instructions, neatly stacking them one by one into mounds of heads.
"How spectacular!"
The wicked man looked around, nodded as if to affirm, then mounted his horse and led his men to continue towards the next Yuezhi tribe.
After a night of rapid travel, just as dawn broke, the Black Dragon Armored Army quietly approached yet another Yuezhi tribe.
Finally, as the first rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone upon the land, the wicked man seized the opportunity and, with a single command, sent the Black Dragon Armored Army charging into the tribe like tigers descending a mountain.
Caught off guard by this sudden attack, the Yuezhi people scattered in disarray. The wicked man personally led his elite troops straight to the heart of the enemy, beheading the tribal chief.
In an instant, cries of agony filled the tribe, and the Yuezhi people scattered and fled.
"Let's hunt down the escapees, and then rest here for a while!"
Looking at the sky, the wicked man knew that if he continued, his soldiers would not be able to keep up.
