The fighting lasted for a long time, and the city was filled with debris.

Countless corpses were lying around, and the smell of blood mixed with the ground seemed to make the air exude an extremely pungent smell of blood.

As the Han cavalry from various tribes rushed in, they slaughtered the Qiang soldiers without showing any mercy.

After the battle, the originally lively Hu merchants gathered in Linqiang City, and the shouting merchants and footmen were scattered all over the city, reflecting the hustle and bustle of the Western Qiang capital.

But at this moment, there is only unstoppable desertion and depression.

Hu merchants and people had already fled in a hurry due to the war, either hiding in the houses along the street, or fleeing outside the city and scattered.

Regarding all this, the Han army did not have the slightest idea.

They only had thousands of elite warriors galloping over. They used all their strength to wipe out the Qiang soldiers and kill them all, but they had no energy left to control the ordinary people.

After the war, the city seemed to be filled with smoke.

At this moment, Zhao Tong jumped off his horse, covered in blood, holding a gun in one hand, and holding the bloody green sword tightly in the other hand. His eyes slowly scanned the four directions, looking at the corpses lying around, his eyes filled with emotion.

Strong determination, without the slightest pity.

After many years of military training, he had long lost sight of life and death, and no longer had the compassion he had before.

A pair of pupils stared closely at the bloody Xiqiang King Cheliji lying on the ground. Zhao Tong looked stern. After a while, his general Ma Zhong quickly ran over and cupped his hands:

"General, all the Qiang soldiers were wiped out by our army, and not a single one was left alive."

"Linqiang City is under our control."

"good!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Tong's expression on the side did not change and he said in a deep voice, "Order all the soldiers to go down quickly to rest and recuperate to replenish their physical strength so that our army can continue to gallop towards the west."

"only."

Ma Zhong accepted the order and then retreated.

The next second, the guard general Huo Yi also walked over with a man tied up, and then handed over his hands and reported, "General, this man is Yadan, the prime minister of the Western Qiang Kingdom, who was captured by several knights of our army."

"How should I deal with it?"

"Oh? Are you Yadan?"

After saying this, Zhao Tong showed a little bit of shock on his face, and then he quickly looked at him and said, "Your Qiang King is already dead. Do you wish to surrender?"

After the words fell, Ardenton, who was still looking messy and slightly pessimistic, had an incredible look on his face. It seemed that he had been pondering for a long time before he came back to his senses. He looked at him with surprised eyes and said:

"Will your army accept me?"

"If Prime Minister Ya is willing to surrender, then he will help us stabilize Linqiang and call on the surrounding Qiang soldiers to lay down their weapons and surrender."

"The general will not take the blame for the things you helped the evildoers do in the past!"

Zhao Tong immediately smiled and responded gently.

This statement made Yadan fall into silence for a moment.

As if he had been thinking for a long time, he raised his hands and asked: "It is said that when the general led his cavalry to attack, he gave an order to kill all our Xiqiang soldiers, leaving no one alive."

"Why are you willing to accept me now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Tong burst out laughing "hahaha" after hearing this, and then smiled at him and said: "I heard that Prime Minister Ya is rich in knowledge and talents."

"He is a rare wise man in the Western Qiang Kingdom."

"With the help of Prime Minister Ya, Naqie Liji was able to dominate a large area of ​​Huangzhong and imitate the Han Dynasty in founding the country and becoming king. Then with your help, he formulated the Han system to control the army and the people."

"Sir's talent is indeed worthy of the Prime Minister's talent!"

"If we can get your help, we will surely be able to quickly stabilize Linqiang and other places this time."

The moment he said these words, Zhao Tong's eyes indeed showed deep concern.

Although he had issued an order to kill them all before setting off, now that all the soldiers in the capital of the Western Qiang Kingdom have been wiped out, Yadan's death or immortality has no meaning at all.

But if you can get them to surrender, you can quickly calm down the people around you.

He could also continue to lead his troops to attack the west and sweep away the Qiang and Di traitors in the west who were not convinced by the king.

"Thanks to the general's love, I am willing to serve the great man!"

After pondering for a while, Yadan quickly agreed after some careful thinking.

"Okay, Mr. Ya is willing to surrender. I am not the one to settle scores after the fall. You will continue to handle Linqiang's government affairs and stabilize the people."

"Dan will obey the general's order,"

Yadan then quickly bowed his hands and bowed.

After handling the matter, Ma Zhong, who then arranged for all the ministries to rest, quickly returned and asked again:

"General, how should we place the corpses all over the city?"

Following his reminder, Zhao Tong just reacted, and then looked at the corpses piled up in the city as if in deep thought. After thinking for a long time, his face suddenly became serious, and he said sternly:

"Dexin, please go down and move the corpses of the Qiang soldiers with me to the outskirts of Linqiang City and build a mountain to bury the corpses."

"Build a Jingguan with me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his tone became sharper again, and he said fiercely: "This is going to be clearly visible to all the surrounding Qiang and Di tribes."

"This is the consequences of being an enemy of my big man,"

"Anyone who offends my great man will be punished no matter how far away he is, and he will never be tolerated!"

Yi Ji Ji's words could be vaguely heard, but when the surrounding Han soldiers heard this, their chests were undoubtedly full of pride and their fighting spirit became even higher.

After decades of chaos in the world, the soldiers under Zhao Tong now seemed to have a strong sense of pride once again.

In the past, Emperor Xiaowu became famous after he sent the Han Dynasty to defeat the Xiongnu with both arms.

All the surrounding barbarian tribes would change their minds after hearing this!

Now, after Zhao Tong ordered the corpses of the Western Qiang soldiers to be built in the capital as a powerful place for all the tribes, his officers and soldiers also felt proud.

Ma Zhong gave the order without the slightest objection to the construction of the Jingguan.

…

After finishing all the busy work and letting the generals take a short rest, Zhao Tong then convened the generals in the temporary military mansion to discuss the next military decision.

"This time our army used light cavalry and double-attacked troops, leaving no time for the Western Qiang thieves to react, and took advantage of the situation to destroy the Western Qiang Kingdom in one fell swoop."

"The general thought that our army should strike while the iron is hot and continue the attack with the cavalry, conquering the land west of Hexi."

Liu Yin was quite impatient and the progress was extremely smooth. He unconsciously showed a bit of arrogance and made a bold suggestion.

After saying this, Ma Zhong responded calmly after a moment, "Linqiang is under new attack, our army cannot abandon the defense and ignore it!"

"This city is an important place on the border of Huangzhong, and is the main transportation road connecting Hexi and Jincheng."

"Perhaps we should first stabilize Linqiang and deal with the surrounding Qiang soldiers and other forces of the Western Qiang tribes before moving westward."

In an instant, the two generals each proposed a sound strategy of rapid advance and step-by-step strategy.

The generals and schools on both sides were temporarily divided into two factions, each holding their own opinions.

It seemed that they had been arguing for a long time before they all looked at Zhao Tong, waiting for him to make a decision.

When Zhao Tong saw this, he looked calm and said, neither humble nor arrogant, "Our knights should attack with great force and speed!"
