"eccentric?"
Yun Zheng was curious, "What's so weird about it?"
The scout replied: "This tribe is lit everywhere. From a distance, there are many people, but there is no chaos at all..."
No chaos at all?
This is indeed a bit strange!
Logically speaking, their army attacked and Jia Yao and his main force retreated. At this time, the people in these tribes should be panicking and should migrate overnight, right?
What is going on?
Could this be an enemy trap?
Or is it a deliberate attempt to confuse people?
Or maybe the people of this tribe have no idea that the defenders of the Modong Corridor have been defeated?
...
...
Yun Zheng thought silently for a while, and immediately ordered the Eighteen Ghost Riders to go and investigate. Their army slowly advanced forward and sent out scouts to conduct reconnaissance in all directions.
An hour later, You Shisan came back to report, "Your Highness, the enemy did not ambush us, but..."
When talking about the latter part, You Shisan hesitated.
It's like there's something unspeakable.
"But what?"
Yun Zheng looked puzzled.
On the battlefield, you're still talking halfway to me?
You need to be dealt with, right?
You Shisan said bitterly: "I don't know what to say, Your Highness, you should go and have a look yourself! But I am sure that the enemy army must not have an ambush!"
“It’s better to have something difficult to say!”
Yun Zheng gave You Shisan a warning look and immediately led his army to raid the tribe.
When they arrived at the tribe, Yun Zheng finally understood why You Shisan was hesitating.
Looking up, I saw that the tribe was full of people.
According to a rough estimate, the number should be no less than 20,000.
Some were lying down, and some were sitting, leaning against something.
Looking up, almost all of them were elderly people with gray hair.
The few younger people Yun Zheng saw seemed to be missing limbs.
Seeing their army coming towards them, these people were just a little panicked, but not in chaos.
Many people didn't even move their butts.
It seems to be saying: You can kill me or chop me up, it’s all up to you.
Yun Zheng frowned.
What's going on?
Are these people planning to give up completely?
"Is the prince of Dagan here? I want to see the prince of Dagan..."
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the crowd.
Yun Zheng looked up and immediately asked Zhou Mi to bring the person who was speaking over.
Soon, Zhou Mi brought the old man who was speaking over.
The old man was very thin. Although he wasn't the type that would fall down if the wind blew, he didn't have much flesh on his body, like a piece of dead wood.
"You want to see the king?"
Yun Zheng raised his eyes and stared at the old man.
"Are you... the prince of Dagan?"
The old man asked cautiously.
"Yes, I am the King of Jingbei, Yun Zheng!"
Yun Zheng frowned and asked impatiently, "What on earth do you want to see me about?"
"Young General, are you really... the King of Jingbei?"
The old man confirmed it again, seeming not to believe Yun Zheng's identity.
"nonsense!"
Yun Zheng glared at the old man unhappily, "If you have something to say, just say it. If you have something to say, just fart! Do you really think that I have great patience, don't you?"
As he spoke, Yun Zheng turned around and told Gao He, "Tell everyone to stop standing there and go look for cattle, sheep, and the like! Take away everything that can be taken away!"
The old man shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Young General, there is no need to look for them. We only have less than 400 sheep left here..."
"Do you think this king is a fool?"
Yun Zheng looked at the old man with amusement, "Such a big tribe, but only so few sheep are left? Do you guys live on wind every day?"
Drink the wind?
The old man had a bitter smile on his face.
Isn't it just like drinking the wind?
Otherwise, wouldn't they even have the strength to move?
The old man did not explain, but slowly knelt down, took out a letter from his body, held it up with both hands and said: "This is the letter that Princess Jiayao left for Prince Dagan. If the young general is not Prince Dagan, please pass this letter to Prince Dagan..."
Jiayao?
When this woman was leading her troops to retreat, she still found time to write a letter to herself?
No way?
With full of curiosity, Yun Zheng immediately took the letter and opened it.
Looking at the contents of the letter, the expression on Yun Zheng's face suddenly became extremely wonderful.
At this moment, Yun Zheng wanted to greet Jia Yao's ancestors again, but he found it a little funny.
Just the title of the letter made Yun Zheng laugh.
Husband:
When you see this letter, it means we have already been defeated.
I don't have the ability to defeat you, so I can only relocate all the tribes in the rear.
But we are so short of food now. Even if we kill all the livestock for food, I am afraid many people will starve to death.
I ordered people to gather together the old and weak from the surrounding tribes, and only gave them a small amount of food and a small number of livestock so that they could hold on for a while longer.
Jia Yao begged her husband to take these old and weak people back to Dagan and not let them starve to death.
Many of the people here are old and cannot fight in the battlefield, but many of them have been herding for their entire lives and they know how to herd very well. Many of them also know how to farm.
Now, it is inevitable for you to occupy the horse-herding grassland. These people can help you herd horses and also help you farm.
I only ask you to show them a little mercy and give them a chance to live!
I promise that if there is a chance in the future, I will exchange something for these old and weak people if you are willing.
Originally, I had a vicious plan to use these old and weak people to deal with you, but I couldn't bear it.
Please give them a chance to live!
At the end of the letter, Jia Yao also gave Yun Zheng a good guy card.
It simply means that Yun Zheng is a principled man and an opponent worthy of respect. Although she hates Yun Zheng and wants to tear him into pieces, this does not hinder her respect for Yun Zheng.
You can still see traces of water droplets on the letter paper.
I don’t know if they were Jiayao’s tears or if Jiayao did it on purpose.
Anyway, Jiayao described Beihuan in a very miserable way.
Jia Yao’s meaning was also very clear.
Beihuan is really short of food.
If these old and weak people were left in Beihuan, they would basically starve to death.
Rather than letting these people starve to death, it is better to hand them over to him and find a way out for them.
At this moment, Yun Zheng didn't know what to say.
Whenever someone asks me for help, I give myself the nice guy card.
On the battlefield, I wish I could cut myself into pieces and put them into the hot pot!
Woman!
It is indeed a fickle animal!
Seeing Yun Zheng's angry and amused expression, the people around him all looked over curiously.
"Look at them all!"
Yun Zheng raised his head and handed the letter to a few people to circulate, while reminding them: "Read it, but don't laugh!"
At this moment, Yun Zheng just wanted to catch Jia Yao and spank this woman's butt hard!
After hearing Yun Zheng's reminder, they became even more curious and quickly gathered together to look at the letter.
Some people almost laughed when they saw the head raised, but fortunately they managed to hold it back.
While they were reading the letter, Yun Zheng asked the old man about their situation.
